TEST DRIVE [SMASH RONPA]

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.

Comments

Betrayus | Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures

[hopelessnecromantic]

{OOC: sorry for the unfinished icons! friend who I commissioned them from hasn't had time to ink and color them yet}

A: Arrival

[So here's a guy who probably sticks out. His outfit, which includes a long coat with tattered trails, platform boots and gloves with sharp metal fingers, probably makes him looks like he stepped right out of a heavy metal album cover. Not to mention his ridiculous white, red and black hair with matching mustache and goatee beard. It's also worth noting his skin happens to be completely stark white, though there's black around his eyes, which are red and give off something of an unearthly glow. Also, his sharp teeth that almost make it look like he has a bear trap in his mouth. So you think somebody who looks like this would be pretty intimidating right?

UUHHH...
He's standing in the middle of the campgrounds, whining at his own ElectroID.]

"Training camp"?! I'm a commander! I already went through all this, thank you very much!

[The device he's holding starts to spark as he realizes that's because it's on fire. He drops it in surprise, before blinking for a moment or two. He looks at his hand, where another flame suddenly forms. A grin creeps across his face.]

Oooh, couldn't do THAT with my old corporeal body!

[He tosses the fireball at the nearest object, before conjuring more flames and tossing them at other things littering the camp and laughing maniacally.
Maybe somebody should stop this pyromaniac before he burns the place to the ground...]

B: Despair Science Theater 3000

[You can find Betrayus in the theater with soda and popcorn, not so much watching the film as complaining about it. An understandable choice of action, considering the one movie playing over and over again.]

Forget the meteorite, I think the terrible special effects is what killed the dinosaurs!

...

Why do you need to merge the dimensions?! That's a completely unnecessary step! Just take your army, go through that portal thing and conquer the planet! You don't see ME trying to merge Pac-World with the Netherworld!

...

Please, the only thing that machine de-evolved was his acting skills!

[Care to join him in his riffing?]

C: Wildcard

[Hit me up with whatever you fancy!]

BBBBBBBB

[badturian]

[Wow, much ham.]

Are we sure this wasn't adopted from the hanar version?

[hopelessnecromantic]

[So much ham that every purchase from the deli comes with a free pound of it.]

... Gesundheit.

[In other words, he has no idea what you're talking about.]

[badturian]

[Hmm.]

Let me guess. No clue?

[hopelessnecromantic]

None whatsoever.

[badturian]

Not surprised.

...it must be embarrassing for your dad to end up on your adventures with you.

[hopelessnecromantic]

Wait, is he his father? I thought they were brothers! I mean, it's in the title... he did say he raised him though... Did they have parents? What happened to them?! An explanation would be nice!

[badturian]

No, but really, would it surprise you if he was?

[hopelessnecromantic]

Point taken.

[totaldrag]

[Ashley has officially made her over to the Monomono Machine, and begins to insert all of her hard-earned Monomono coins. After all, not much else she can do right now. She's bored.

Once the machine has what it wants, it spews out a little tin candy container. Ashley picks it up and looks at it as though it were some kind of indescribable object - before popping the top off and slipping one of the little candies into her mouth. ]

Hm. Raspberry.

[She'll keep doing that for a while, uncaring about anybody else who might be trying to use the machine.]

[hopelessnecromantic]

[Betrayus happens to wander by the Monomono Machine where he spots Ashley, before sprinting up to her enthusiastically.]

Ooh, is that candy?! Can I have some!?

[Cripes, he's like a child, well... asking for candy.]

[totaldrag]

[Ashley stares at him blankly for a second - her social senses seem to be tingling, but she can't figure out what to say. Eventually, she holds on the tin.]

Take more than three and I won't be able to guarantee your safety.

[hopelessnecromantic]

Well, now aren't we intimidating~?

[Said in a way that makes it abundantly clear he's not taking her seriously at all. She's just a little girl, how dangerous could she possibly be? Still he humors her and only takes three. Upon eating them his expression lights up like a gaudy Christmas display.]

Great ghastly ghosts does it feel good to TASTE again!!

[totaldrag]

Certainly more intimidating than that facial hair of your's.

[She reflects on the comment about taste. It's fairly common of some of the supernatural creatures that Ashley has come into contact with, but still, it's at least worth probing.]

Did you not possess the ability before?

[hopelessnecromantic]

What's wrong with my facial hair...?

[It's totes sinister you have no idea what you're talking about Ashley]

Pretty much, since it's rather difficult when you're a ghost! No body means no taste buds.

[totaldrag]

You look like Dick Dastardly.

[She says this with an employer who literally cuts his mustache into the shape of a "W".]

I am well-acquainted of the implications of being a ghost. I was not aware of the fact that you were once one, however.

[hopelessnecromantic]

Never heard of him! Are you sure he didn't steal MY magnificent style?

[Clearly he's so chic that other villains must be trying to rip him off. That can be the only explanation.]

I wasn't just ANY ghost, I was the most powerful fire ghost in existence! Not to mention exalted ruler of the Netherworld~

A

[thejusticewagon]

[...woah, that's...

...everything... everything there screams villain, admittedly, but...]

...hahaha, that's pretty great! But... you really should be careful, you know!

sorry for the late response! I was at a convention this weekend

[hopelessnecromantic]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA-- .... what?

[He suddenly stops and notices his own hair is now on fire.]

AAAHHH!!!

[The flames in his hands dissipate as he suddenly starts running and flailing around trying to put out the fire on his head. Hasn't this guy ever heard of "Stop, drop and roll"? (The answer is probably no, considering he used to be fireproof.)]

[thejusticewagon]

...Oh, no!

[...WHERE DOES SHE FIND WATER, SHE NEEDS TO FIND SOME WATER]

Roll on the ground! Roll on the ground! Work that resistance! Yeah! I'LL BE BACK!

[TEMPORARY EXIT!!]

[hopelessnecromantic]

[Well in his spazzing he ends up tripping, falling and rolling on the ground, so that works. He doesn't even notice she leaves though since he's too busy making a complete and utter doofus of himself, but what else is new.]

[thejusticewagon]

[Cynthia arrives with a bucket of water and gets ready...]

Super Hydro Healing Attaaaaaack!

[AND SHE TOSSES WATER ON HIM!]

[hopelessnecromantic]

[He stops screaming and spasming once the water hits him, now laying face-first on the ground while soaking wet.

There's a pause as he just... lays there for several seconds.]

... Thank you...

[thejusticewagon]

No problem! It's all in a day's work for an ally of justice like me! Saving the weak and distressed is what I am all about!

[hopelessnecromantic]

Hey!

[SHOOTS BACK UP]

Who are you calling weak and distressed?!
