TDM: ROUND 3

15 STRANGERS ROUND 3
TEST DRIVE




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

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!

So you're wiped. And presumably made to be reborn. Quite a harsh system. And is there some sort of point to this?
losergod: (Look down.)

... Presumably, wiping out those they deem as "ineffective" to the system. It's disgusting.

[ He just. Stares at his hands. He is very obviously defective. Someone proclaiming to be God so brashly never stood much chance. ]

... A number of students choose to die rather than face the Trial. I cannot say that I blame them. Miss Wiltshire and I found a lot of them when we were searching for a way out from the situation.
crouching_sin: (oh? you think so?)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2018-07-09 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
And who is 'they'?
losergod: (Thinking.)

[personal profile] losergod 2018-07-09 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
... The teachers. The people behind the Trial... presumably the government. I don't really know that much about it, if I'm being honest.

[ ... Perhaps he's a poor God, but it's true--he doesn't. He is not omnipotent. ]
crouching_sin: (but here's my number)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2018-07-09 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And here I thought you were a God. It seems you're not even a demon.
losergod: (C40)

[personal profile] losergod 2018-07-09 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. Whether or not you believe it isn't my problem.

[ He's adamant! ]

Being a demon implies cruel tendencies or perhaps some attachment to the audience. I've no interest in that.

It doesn't have to mean that. There are some demons that are relatively benign.

[Not... entirely, though. They are demons now, after all.]
losergod: (C49)

The genesis of the word demon implies anything but.

[ He's just saying. ]

It's almost exclusively a word for creatures with ill intent.
