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!

[Wait is that a Shadow? No, it doesn't have quite the same look to it...he's not quite sure what it is. On the bright side, his surprise keeps him from possibly giving something away by twitching at hearing a remark he so resembles being used as an insult.]

I'm...not certain which question to ask first.
steelmagnolias: so rigorous, she's vigorous (a limb disposed of)

[If he unlocked any amount of backstory at all, Akechi, he wouldn't, but unfortunately he hasn't and he really does not mean it that way-

Still. It should be fortunate that this is the first Skarmory Akechi has ever seen in his life, because Yuriko's feathers are beautiful and meticulously polished, while also probably being sharp enough to make a world-class shank once she sheds them.

The noise she makes is, appropriately, mostly like the cry of a large bird of prey, but with a distinctly... mechanical-sounding edge.]


Ask away.
foolishjustice: (Strange isn't it?)

I suppose I'll start with the creature itself. I can't say I've ever seen anything remotely similar. Well, outside of advertisements for video games, anyway...

[Video games he most certainly has never played because he is serious and mature and only does productive, adult-like things!]
steelmagnolias: (jasmine and rose)

[Akechi... please touch a Pokemon]

They're not all that common in Sinnoh. My father was from Johto, originally, so he brought her mother over...

[For the sake of this thread, let's assume that his profile has either stated that he's from Sinnoh, or he's mentioned it before.

Of course, none of the regions he's naming are probably going to be all that familiar to Akechi unless he mentions Kanto at some point, but then Ren is a guy who claimed not to know what Japan was despite having a Japanese name, using goddamned Japanese honorifics, and exhibiting other "WTF" flags, so clearly there's some sort of alternate history geography bullshit going on.]


...but that's not that important.

You can touch her, if you want, but be careful around the edges of her feathers. Cleaning those things off when she molts is the worst.
foolishjustice: (Oh thank you!)

[There's a brief moment when excitement crosses his face at the invitation, before he schools his expression back to calm. He starts to reach out his left hand, before apparently deciding he wants to know what the feathers actually feel like and stopping to pull off his glove. His touch is light, definitely being wary of the sharp edges.]

It's remarkable that biological material could seem so much like actual steel.
steelmagnolias: (opium and poison)

[personal profile] steelmagnolias 2017-11-19 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because she's actually made of metal.

[ JUST. COMPLETELY NONCHALANT, THERE. ]

[So much for trying to keep a dignified expression. Now he's just staring in open surprise.]

Then, a machine of some sort?
