15 STRANGERS TEST DRIVE
There are 15 strangers in this place. Someone knows why. And its clear the odds are stacked against you.

1. ARRIVAL
You're here, in what can only be described as a primitive bunker. Where are are you? What happened to your powers? Your memories? And who else has been so unlucky as to be brought in with you? And why are the rules so...authoritarian?

2. POWER
You have been, er, "blessed" with a power. Its not a power you want or care for, but its yours now. You might want to try an control it, lest you hurt someone else. That is...unless you want to. Just don't blow up any public property while you're at it.

3. HOME
Nothing says trapped like being in an underground stone prison. But you're here now. Here with no technology or modern convenience of any kind. How in the world will you fare? Aside from just drinking all the time. That's probably what all the booze in the kitchen is for, after all.

4. ULTIMATUM
The Intercessor has announced the motive for the week. Clearly someone has it out for you to kill. How will you react? Will you stand against such an insult and help others to fight the temptation? Or perhaps, you yourself are tempted...?

5. DEATH
One of your own has died - been killed. The Inquisition has started. The body lies before you, and now you must discern the truth from the clues before you. But can you when you mourn? Or, perhaps you don't mourn the dead. Perhaps you're only playing along because you know more than you let on.

6. TRIAL
The Intercessor did warn you that killing is little more than a violent cycle in this game. Now you're here, looking to condemn the responsible killer. If you do, they die. If you don't, you die. Whatever happens, you have to figure out what will happen. And what did happen. But can you?

7. WILDCARD
Perhaps you want to do something else other than the above. A different prompt entirely. Perhaps, then, you will.

[Well, he doesn't exactly know what Eric means by movies, but is guessing it's some sort of childish story being referred to.

Still, he feels like this is just something better to demonstrate. The powers he got here were similar enough to what he had back home, so it wasn't hard to figure out the basics and with a thought Eric suddenly has the equivalent of a bucket of water dumped over his head, sans an actual bucket.]

Just a trick? Dare you to find where that came from.

[SPLASH.]

Shit-!! [Damn, that's cold! Eric shivers.] You asshole!

[But, he's definitely looking around for the source of that water. MAYBE HE TAPED A WATER BALLOON TO THE CEILING!?]

[Taping a water balloon to the ceiling would take more effort than an asshole like McBurn. Definitely no ploy here. Someone just thought it would be cute to give him water related powers when he's used to fire. Still, same basic principles so it took no time to figure out the basics.]

Looks like someone won't need a shower today at least.

[He glares, fuming for a second when he couldn't find anything.]

...Yeah, thanks a lot. But I prefer my showers hot!

[His so-called ability is to light his punches on fire. He doubts that will actually happen when he throws one at McBurn's shoulder. Even so, he wouldn't regret it if it worked on this jerk!

BOOM.]

!!!

[His fist is aflame. It is too late to stop.]

Aah- [Welp. Tried to light a dude on fire, better play it off.]

Well, you can just go ahead and put yourself out with your power then.

[Then he can allow himself to think it is kind of cool he lit a dude on fire.]

[Yeah, except there is the fun part of McBurn's clothing being quite fireproof, even if it sure doesn't look like anything besides normal fabric. So while Eric certainly punches him, the fire seems to not be doing too much.

And if the punch hurt, well this asshole sure isn't showing it. In fact he's smirking like he enjoyed being punched.]

Or maybe I like the heat.

[??? NOW HOLD ON A SEC. Not that he wanted him to burn a lot, but why didn't that even do anything? Also this reaction is just. Um. What.]

W-Why would you like it?
