TDM: ROUND 3
TEST DRIVE ![]() 1. ARRIVAL Oh god, you're inside a Base. Why are you here? What happened to your powers? Your memories? Who else has been so unlucky as to be brought in with you? What are you wearing? What are these strange rules? And...why do you feel like the person who wrote them is going to like yelling at you? 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. Or if you want to try and see if you can break out of your new domicile. Or, hey, go ahead and blow things up - there's no rule against property damage aside from the camerabots, after all... 3. HOME So now you live in a Base of some kind. Whee. Maybe living here forever won't be so bad, since there are things to do with your free time. Unless you're looking for a way out, but surely, you wouldn't do that, right? 4. MINIGAME The Commander has decided to do...erm, 'games'. Those who win the games will get prizes, the Commander has promised. This Test Drive Meme's minigame: a laundry folding contest! The most items folded in one hour wins! Work alone, or in teams - either way, you get the feeling there's an ulterior motive to the Commander making you do this while they watch and laugh... 5. MOTIVE The Commander has (somewhat too gleefully) announced the motive for the week. Clearly someone out there really wants to give you a reason to kill someone else. 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 Commander wasn't kidding when they said there would be a trial if someone was murdered. So now you're here, looking to condemn the responsible killer. If you do, they die. If you don't, well, you'll end up killing an innocent person, as the Commander has announced what would happen if the majority votes incorrectly. Whatever happens, you have to figure out what happened. Can you? 8. SCAPEGOAT Oh dear...the Commander has just announced that the person everyone just voted for...was actually completely innocent! Not only that, but they've revealed who the real culprit was! Maybe you're that innocent person, trying to say your goodbyes or beg for your life. Maybe you're one of the ones who voted for the innocent person, trying to cope with the horrible act you've just committed. Or maybe you're the true culprit, who now has to not only deal with an innocent dying for your actions, but also the fact that you can now be killed without repercussion!... 9. WILDCARD Anything not mentioned above. Go wild! |
Scapegoat
C is not doing all right at all. ]
...
[ But on the other hand, the actions, the uncaring executions... it reminds him of someone. He just can't place a finger on who. Someone he... cares about. And though he feels nauseated, some part of him can't help but want to say... something. ]
... You really don't care, do you?
no subject
[ He wears the most pleasant of smiles as he says all of this, but really, why would he care about someone he won't see again after this? Someone he would outlive anyway? He'll live indefinitely, and so many of the beings here are... Far too mortal and squishy for him to ever become attached. It's so, so easy to say the thing he's said a hundred times. ]
What a pitiful face. This is reality. Didn’t you choose this for yourself? Welcome to a monochrome world!
no subject
[ He smiles placidly, quickly reaffirming his usual demeanor.
... This demon reminds him of something. He honestly... isn't sure why, but he feels like it's tugging at the back of his mind, just out of sight. Something similar to his own persona, maybe? He knows as God he often takes nebulous personas on. Not that he knows what his kingdom is like, but he gets the feeling he's done that often. ]
And I don't go whispering my secrets to random demons. They eat your name, and never return it. You would have to be extremely lucky to acquire a God's secrets. If anything, you've just given me more reason not to. The others might have trusted you easily, but I'm not someone that trusts parasites.
no subject
[ He does so many favors. So he's not saying what else he does. ]
no subject
[ If anything, you're simply proving his point. ]
Like most of them, though, you dress it up to be pretty. That's what put us in this position. People trusted you, and were fed on. Besides--you don't do that anymore, do you? Now you're just like the rest of us, stuck in your own flesh, incapable of what you were before.
no subject
[ Symbiotic. He needs humans to live. ]
no subject
[ He actually disagrees. ]
If a human doesn't feel fear, they don't know what happiness is. Or they become drunk and blissfully ignorant of the world around them, engulfed in a fog they don't wish to perceive. If you remove these things, you remove a fundamental part of someone.
no subject
[ Nnnnot actually a lie. ]
Don't you agree a body needs rest?
no subject
[ SORRY but he doesn't trust you. ]
Perhaps it's in my nature to be suspicious of wordsmiths who twist things, because I am one, but I have a feeling you are leaving quite a bit aside.
no subject
[ No, he doesn't eat dreams. But he can still take them. ]
I'm but a humble servant with a very important job who has many clients waiting for him. The longer I'm here, the more sleep all those young ones with bad dreams keeping them up lose.
no subject
He's silent, for a good while. Then he speaks. ]
... And I've a heavenly host to return to. Nobody here WANTS to be here. But I doubt you're doing yourself any favors like this.
no subject
[ It may sound cold, but it's simply practical to him. ]
I'm going to outlive you all anyway, even if we all lived. I've no reason to feel attachment to a single person here when your lives are so impossibly short compared to mine.
no subject
[ He smiles. He's going to ignore that first bit. ]
And what makes you so sure you'll live after that stunt? Just because you know things doesn't mean you won't die.
no subject
[ Information from the person in charge. Who says he only has their secrets? ]
no subject
[ He's just saying, you're not in a great spot. ]
no subject
[ So yeah, nothing gets you nothing. Everything has a price. ]
no subject
[ Sorry, he just... starts laughing. He can't help it. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Why does his tone sound so fond? ]
You're so sure you won't, but people aren't as predictable as you like to think. Violence will always happen when you least expect it.
no subject
[ And there's a flicker of something... More. Much worse, angry, distorted... Beneath his calm mask. ]
no subject
I have to be clean, the voice comes to his mind. But he can't... recall them. ]
It's a good thing, then, that you aren't human, isn't it?
no subject
[ But something about that feels hollow--like he's lost something. ]
no subject
[ He siiiiighs. ]
Well, I certainly hope no one comes after your head after all of that nasty business. It'll hardly benefit anybody to have MORE murder.
