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.

Sure, sure. I know. [You keep telling yourself that Pittoo. And then the next time one of them is in danger, it'll be just until that's over. Right?]

But hey, after we get out of here, [which carries the bold implication that they will make it out of here,] I wouldn't mind getting some victory ice cream together.

[effectivefacekicking]

[He smirks, obviously amused]

It's always food with you, isn't it?

[finished]

Gimme a break! Your body works the same as mine, doesn't it? So you should know how hungry I get!

... ... ...

Actually, come to think of it... why don't you ever talk about food?

[effectivefacekicking]

Maybe because I don't feel the need to broadcast every sound my gut makes.

[Though if he had a goddess dropping him snacks every 5 minutes he would talk about it more. But SOME people have to get their own food like an actual 13 year old looking 3 year old adult]

[finished]

Maybe you should start. I wonder if you'd still be in a bad mood all the time if you kept yourself better fed?

[Pit, your brother is not a Snickers commercial.]

[effectivefacekicking]

I eat plenty. Just because someone doesn't drop meat-on-bone for me all the time...

[He pauses, looking thoughtful. Oh man some meat sounds really good... that noise ttly isn't his belly complaining]

[finished]

[You're speaking Pit's language now, Pittoo!]

So, here's an idea.

Whaddya say we go raid that kitchen, and make that bear regret bringing the both of us in here?

God or not, between the two of us? I think we could easily eat him out of house and home.

[effectivefacekicking]

[He smirks, hand on his hip]

Wow, that's surprisingly spiteful coming from you.

[Maybe they aren't so different after all.]

Alright, I'm in.

[finished]

[Does he have to put it like that?]

[They really aren't, though, and that's probably the most aggravating thing about Dark Pit. Other than his attitude, he gets Pit on a level no one else can, and that lets him get under Pit's skin without even trying.]

[Like now. Even as they start walking, Pit starts protesting in his own defense.]

Can you really blame me? Look at what he's doing to all these innocent people. This isn't just wrong -- it's sick and twisted. He's more than earned himself some divine punishment.

But... I'm struggling to come up with a way to fight him. It'd be a lot easier if we were facing him on a battlefield...

[effectivefacekicking]

[Pittoo's amusement drops almost at once, and he nods, solemn.]

No, you're right. What Hades' did was messed up, but he had a point: at least the souls he messed with weren't sentient anymore. Our gods are selfish and petty, but at least they don't generally torture people...

...but honestly, you probably have one of the better chances at beating him.

[finished]

... ... ...

Did... I hear you right? Because I could've sworn you just gave me a vote of confidence.

[effectivefacekicking]

It's harder to break the stupid.

[ Aka Pit is too stubborn and faithful to give in and kill out of desperation. or so Pittoo seems to think]

[finished]

There we go. That's the kind of inspiring pep talk I've come to expect from you.

[Actually, backhanded compliment or not, it's still a nice change of pace from the gods always reminding him "Boy, Pit, it sure is a good thing you have Palutena's guidance and support, since you're so dumb and flightless and can't do anything for yourself."]

[Maybe Pittoo had a point, too. If nothing else, he's used to taking abuse from dysfunctional immortals. How much worse can Monokuma be?]

[effectivefacekicking]

I'm the best at what I do.

[He quirks an almost smile. Of course he knows... While he might not have Pit's actual memories, but he is the sum outcome of everything that made Pit, well, Pit. His combat skills, his physical quirks... and years of belittling and lack of confidence.

Which is why he answered only to himself. No one to look to also meant no one to judge, or question.]

[finished]

You know, I've got another advantage here, too.

Everyone else here is pretty much on their own. But we're in this one together.

[effectivefacekicking]

...wow that's pretty lame, even coming from you.
