Round 2 Test Drive Meme


15 STRANGERS ROUND 2
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 the Mall. Wherever the Mall might be, right? And what happened to your powers? Your memories? Who else has been so unlucky as to be brought in with you? Also, why are the rules littered with emojis!?

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
So now you live in a mall! All right! Modern conveniences galore! And hey, there's a cat cafe and a bar! Maybe living here forever won't be so bad. Unless you're looking for a way out, but surely, you wouldn't do that, right?

4. MINIGAME
The Life Coach has decided to do 'games'. Those who win the games will get prizes, the Life Coach has promised. The Test Drive Meme's minigame: a costume contest! The best costume made in five hours wins! Work alone, or in teams - the Life Coach is ok with either~!

5. MOTIVE
The Life Coach has announced the motive for the week. Clearly someone really wants to give you a reason to kill someone. How will you react? Will you stand against such an insult and help others to fight the temptation? Or perhaps, you yourself are tempted...?

6. DEATH
One of your own has died - no, 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.

7. TRIAL
Well, it looks like the Life Coach wasn't kidding when they said there would be a trial. So 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 happened. Can you?

8. WILDCARD
Anything not mentioned above. Go wild!

Woah, hold up a--!

[He grabs the nearest cloths he can find to protect the evidence from his fingerprints and rushes over to help grab the body.]

This is still a crime scene and you need to be careful!

[...That's right, Borgias were Dark Age or something like that. They wouldn't know any better about even the most basic modern forensics. Still.]

You're lucky you're wearing gloves.

Fin they don't have fingerprint kits I don't think

Don't touch her!

[ It's practically a snarl, he's got her. But he'll take a deep breath and calm himself. ]

...Sorry. She looks... Remarkably like my sister.

[ Going to just. Lay Margarita down. ]
semperperatus: (Default)

But semper peratus!!!

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-11-04 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
...Right. Sorry about that.

[This just got. Really awkward. Nevertheless, he looks at the stab wounds as the body is laid down, then at Cesare's gloves. The fact his gloves got bloodied so easily...

Back to the wounds. Are they still wet in some manner?]


I just don't want to contaminate the...crime scene on accident is all.

['Crime scene'. Damnit, he had hoped no one would go for the motive.]

[ It's more that the dress soaked up a lot, so not all of it is dry. She was clearly stabbed in the dress! And given it's one clean cut, whoever it was happened to be someone she trusted. ]

...Contaminate...? I'll never understand the modern world...

Look...

[He frowns. One stab wound, but was that all there was?...]

When someone's murdered, something as small as a strand of hair can mean the difference between catching the guy responsible and never figuring out the truth. We use hair, saliva, fingerprints-

[Hence the glove comment.]

-blood, and DNA where I come from. Analyzing things that, if you're not careful, you can leave your own around and be mistaken for the culprit. Even if we can't measure all that stuff here, stuff like fingerprints can still be lifted and compared. Hairs can be preserved for later. That's what I mean.

[Speaking of, probably its an idea to check to see if there are any errant strands of hair that looked out of place on or around Margarita.]

Probably sounds insane to you, but that's how it is.

...DNA?

[ He'll stare a moment. ]

...And do you have the tools to analyze these things available here? No? Then I don't think we need to worry as much.

[ He's going to look, too! There is a bit of hair, but it's a silvery-purple one... Who here has that hair color again...? ]
semperperatus: (SHARRRRRRRKS)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-11-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Die...o....

[Crap, he knows the A is acid...]

...It's short for a more complicated term. DNA is basically what we're all made of. The building blocks of life.

[He frowns at the hair.]

Let me get a zip-lock. I'm going to bag that hair. I'll also get some paper and scotch tape if I can find it, for any fingerprints. I'll be back in a sec...!

...I repeat: I'll never understand your modern world.

[ He's just going to go back to looking to see if he can find anything, while being generally disturbed. ]

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-11-04 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[And he's back, this time with proper gloves on and the aforementioned bag and tape and paper. Kneeling down, he very carefully scoops the hair into the bag.]

You get used to it, eventually.

[Wait until he explains sharknadoes, boy howdy.]

There's no other wounds, right? Anything you saw on her front?
poisonofblue: (pic#11792287)

[personal profile] poisonofblue 2017-11-04 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I can see.

[ He'll sigh, though, pinching the bridge of his nose before remembering the blood. ]

...Honestly, what bothers me most is her expression. She seemed so... Content.
semperperatus: (just realized so many r3 hand jokes)

[personal profile] semperperatus 2017-11-04 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
...let's see if the weapon's nearby. Or...something that has a similar size blade to the wound.

[It could mean many things, having a content face at death. But they couldn't make a conclusion, not yet.

What blade type looks like it could have made such a killing wound, speaking of? He goes first towards the novelty weapons to check those out.]

[personal profile] poisonofblue 2017-11-05 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Something from a kitchen, so it likely just came from somewhere in the area around the kitchen tools. Like really, standard modern kitchen knife. ]

I imagine if, ah, fingerprints are a worry, then they took it? We might not find it... I've no idea what we're looking for, you lot don't carry swords.
