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.

[Grimsley is quite familiar with comforts. btw play poker with him.]

I wonder if he'd do it if so many of us enjoyed it... he doesn't seem to care too much about our feelings.

[He did, after all, kidnap them all to play his fun little murder game. It's unbearable.]

If he does, maybe we should write your name on the bottle?

[disbarred]

[If he asks, sure. :D]

He might not. But while its still here, I'll make the most out of it.

[A wry smile.]

But that could be a good idea.

[perfect21]

[OH. HE WILL.]

You do have a positive attitude, don't you, Phoenix?

[Which is more than what he could say about even himself. No matter how positive he looked... well, it wasn't always true.]

It's quite impressive. What keeps a smile on your face?

[disbarred]

[Yes good.

At the questions, Phoenix ponders over it for a moment, and then he simply smiles and gives a small shrug.]

Well, I simply like to keep my hopes up as much as possible. For me as well as for everyone else.

[What with all the deaths and crap that has happened. It is bad, but they have to move on. There's no use sticking to the past and what-ifs - Phoenix has done that himself all too often.]

[perfect21]

Hm. I see.

[He smiles as he junks the bottle of grape juice before slipping a hand into his coat.]

I'd like to know more about why you feel this way. So, shall we talk?

[Grinning, he pulls out a special deck of cards, with a black back and a red heart on the back.]

I prefer to talk over cards.

[disbarred]

[Phoenix's eyes light up at the show of cards, his interest clearly piqued. He walks closer to Grimsley and settles on a counter near him, giving a wry grin.]

Talking over cards sounds exactly like my kind of thing. [Oh yes, he is very interested indeed.] I didn't know you were that kind of person.

[perfect21]

I've been a casino dealer most of my life. It's a familiar position I find myself in.

[He takes a moment to shuffle the deck, doing quite the level of tricks to mix up the cards.]

Texas Hold 'em or Five Card Draw? Or do you prefer another method?

[disbarred]

[Those are some fancy moves there, good sir.]

I'm fine with anything. [He answers, with another smile.] It's your call.

[He's been playing more than enough poker for the last several years to know pretty much any trick.]
