Smash Ronpa Test Drive

Smash Life of Mutual Killing

Guidelines
Welcome to Smash Ronpa's test drive! In lieu of a Mock Trial, due to this round's length, we'll be keeping this test drive open until the opening of the game on September 28th. Reserves will be happening on September 18th, and you can use 20 comments (from your character) on the game's application! Otherwise, this TDM is here to help you figure out how/who you might want to play, and can help you get to know some of the players in the upcoming round. Don't feel like you have to apply just because you play on the TDM!

This post is, however, exclusively open to characters who fit the round's character guidelines. In other words - Nintendo characters and other video game characters who have appeared on a Nintendo consoles. Please check out our FAQ for more detail on this, or hit up smashronpa if you have any questions about character choices or anything else!

1) ARRIVAL
You wake up comfortably enough in a nice-looking, despite the overabundance of pink everywhere. It's well-furnished and decently roomy - there's even a little fireplace in there! The only problem is that even despite the sense of familiarity some might feel, this clearly wasn't the room you went to sleep in the night before.

Welcome the Monobear Training Camp! It may take a few minutes to gather your bearings, but you'll eventually stumble into the wide open world of the camp. If you look hard enough, you might find an odd electronic device somewhere on your person - giving you access to 15 different "student profiles". It's time to figure out just where you've ended up, now isn't it?

2) LIFE IS QUITE ABSURD
By now, you're acquainted with everybody here and you're sloooowlllyyyy growing bored. Bored enough to kill? No. Bored enough to actually try and entertain yourselves in this place? Yes. Yes, you are. Thankfully, this place has plenty of ways to entertain! You might just try to cook something up in the kitchen, play around in the well-stocked arcade, and even a neat little library! There's even a large movie theater, but your enjoyment of that might be hampered by the fact that there's only one movie playing on repeat. At all times. Remember, we're trying to cause despair here.

What some might find creepy, however, is that all the rooms are far bigger than they should be. The layout of this place is...it doesn't make any sense. There are windows and pathways where there shouldn't be, and it seems as though the rooms are almost overlapping each other. Don't think about it for too long.

3) WHAT'S MY MOTIVATION
IT'S MOTIVE DAY! What's going to drive you to kill? Drive you to end of the chain? CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S HAPPENING TODAY. Either nab a motive from any of the previous rounds or invent your own!

4) AND DEATH'S THE FINAL WORD
It was bound to happen eventually. Either you're dying, or someone close to you is about to make it up the great big Warp Pipe in the sky. Either try to get a few last words out before you go, or go off and investigate in the wake of their death.

5) WILDCARD
Who even knows- do whatever you want, man! Unless it's pissing off the headmaster. Don't do that.

They could be some rather special kidnappers.

[They have to be, with the people that's been all gathered here. The only question is why...]

[thejusticewagon]

...let's hope they're not too special. I mean, if they need our help with something, I'm pretty down with that, but... uh... usually that's not what kidnappers want, is it...?

[disbarred]

It's not usually 'help', no.

[And if they wanted help, kidnapping is really the last thing they should be doing.]

[thejusticewagon]

Well, sometimes people are pretty bad at communicating when they're in a bad way! ...I think I'd help regardless if they just asked, though.

[disbarred]

I highly doubt 'bad communication skills' can really translate to 'kidnapping' when asking for help.

[Even for far fetched that's... a bit too far fetched...]

[thejusticewagon]

Well, you... really never know...? Actually, why would they be kidnapping ---

...

Wait, are you royalty? I don't think so, but I should ask!

[disbarred]

[Cynthia please does he look like royalty to you.]

If I were, I would be just as surprised as you are.

[thejusticewagon]

Eh, well, it never hurts to ask! ...Do you have or know people who have a lot of money...? I mean, I guess being held for ransom or something could be it, but I think we'd be tied up or something, wouldn't we?

[disbarred]

Well, my daughter helps with paying the bills, but I wouldn't call that 'a lot of money'.

[Also yes, why are they not tied up if they're kidnapped. It makes zero sense.]

[thejusticewagon]

...huh. So yeah, maybe it isn't ransom... but what would they actually want, otherwise...?

[disbarred]

If they do want us here for a reason, I suspect we'll find out soon enough.

[thejusticewagon]

I guess that's true, but I don't like the idea of just standing around and waiting. Did you see anything that might give us an idea...?

[disbarred]

[Hmmm. Well...]

The fact that were all woke up in a room of our own is pretty interesting.

[If they were all taken as a group, why not just put them together? Easier to look over that way. Putting them all in their own rooms... certainly, its quite--courteous of them. Hard to think of kidnappers as that, but there you go.]

[thejusticewagon]

...oh, yeah! Was yours super fancy? Mine was, and I'm not really sure what that means. Like... kidnappers would probably put you in a dungeon, right? This is all actually pretty nice.

[disbarred]

I'm not sure what your definition of 'fancy' is, but mine certainly had a lot of pink going around.

[thejusticewagon]

Well, it had a bed and a vanity. That's pretty darn fancy, if you ask me. Ooh, and carpets this thick!

[disbarred]

They are having some pretty plushy carpeting.

[Almost good as a bed, really. It reminds him a little of a certain overly frilly house...]

These kidnappers seem to want us to be comfortable here, at the very least.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah... I guess they want us to be here a while? But why, though?

...

Are we... are we their pets!?

[disbarred]

It certainly would explain the comfort they've so generously provided.

[Not that Phoenix likes it one bit. Oooooh yeah, he doesn't like it. At all.]

[thejusticewagon]

That's really creepy and I'm getting the jibblies. Come on, let's see if we can just get out of here...

[disbarred]

[It is pretty creepy. Phoenix fully agrees with the notion of trying to leave this place.]

It's a big place, from what I can tell. Whoever got us here, there must be a flaw somewhere where we can escape from.

[thejusticewagon]

...I don't know if they'd just count on us getting too lost to be able to leave or not, but you know... maybe!

[THIS IS A GOOD PLAN, RIGHT]

[disbarred]

[THE BEST OF PLANS...]

I suppose it shouldn't hurt to try.

[They can always back out... somehow...]
