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.

...I don't know! I've never met a fairy, so I don't know if some of 'em would be altruistic or not. Maybe it's a world thing?

...Maybe it's an option? I hope it's an option. Although.... dual wielding doesn't work as well as you want it to most of the time...

[lavenza]

Perhaps. This requires immediate investigation.

[trying to start the game by grasping both joysticks and moving them around... and nothing is happening]

Hmm...

It appears to do nothing! [said cheerfully despite the failure]

[thejusticewagon]

Aw, that's a bummer. Maybe we need to hit something else first? Let me see...

[...she'll try hitting a few buttons.

...probably the wrong buttons but buttons nonetheless.]

[lavenza]

[thinking thinking-- oh!]

My! I think you got it started! Excellent!

[is that... a character select screen]

[thejusticewagon]

All right. We're in.

[APPARENTLY IT'S MARIO BROS? AND... hm....]

...you know, one of those guys looks kind of familiar...

[lavenza]

Hmm... now that you mention it... one of them does look an awful lot like one of our dear fellow trapped companions, doesn't he...?

Could the fairies inside the device be mimicking those we know, in an attempt to make us feel more relaxed? Or perhaps... to trick us?

[thejusticewagon]

...maybe he's actually a cool superstar who is a hero to all fairies and we just don't know it.

...

We need to ask him about this.
