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!

Ummmmm, okay, then. I'm sure she'll be super proud of you.

[He raises his hands to indicate acquiescence to the more amicable tone, though Dio's own voice is aloof enough that he doesn't sound entirely convinced.]

In that case, mind sharing your plan with the class? Who's been in here for weeks without finding a way out or anything?

She won't know.

[He isn't really concerned with who he convinces at the moment. His mother's safety just became his main priority.]

I believe I'm finished playing along with their little game. I'm going to break some rules.

Before you set your heart on breaking those rules, you might want to read them, if you catch my drift.

[Begrudgingly a little impressed that the other man apparently wants to act more than impress.]

Oh, I have. I check for updates regularly. I could do without the emojis, but some sacrifices must be made.

[The light smile that accompanies the joke might be more convincing if he hadn't been clearly enraged mere moments ago. It falls away again quickly.]

And whatever consequences I receive may provide useful information.

[Leaning back and looking down at his phone, tapping through]

I guess we'll get to find out if there are any pink haired ones.

My hair is red.

[The brief pause is rather like the single-beat pause of a comic's third panel.]

My school uniform was pink.

In any case, I believe the Life Coach's immunity clause is about to expire. [Whether the Life Coach herself is about to expire, well, he hasn't decided yet.]

Ohhhh! My mistake.

[The swerving inflection gives the impression that Dio genuinely misunderstood at first but now stubbornly decides to say "that he misunderstood" as if he was being sarcastic, in fact knowing better all along and deliberately being insulting.]

What makes you say that? Not enough targets?

[Despite the sweatdrop, Kurama seems more amused by that than anything else. He's hardly unfamiliar with the stubborn 'I meant to do that' school; it's actually almost endearingly familiar. He just shakes his head and gives Dio a look that screams "I see right through you but I will play along".] Of course.

More the only available target who is more likely to be a part of the game than a victim of it.

[Tilts his head, letting Kurama take the point but still thinking about this new topic in a contrarian manner.]

Just "more likely", huh? I don't see the Life Coach going off on weekend trips to the movie theater, you know. And this place is dramatic and all, but in her position I'd want my entertainment with better special effects.
