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.

[...Cynthia hasn't looked at hers yet, but she has a few ideas of what Lucina's could be, given, you know... same world, same backstory, etc.

...Whatever it is, she knows they can press through it. She just... needs to be some moral support here! Yeah!]

...it's,,, pretty bad, huh...

...We can get through it, though, can't we? I mean, we've been through a lot already...

[falchiowned]

[Lucina's silence lingers for a little bit more, but she composes herself by taking a deep breath. Right. Get through this, just like everything else. She has to be strong.]

Yes... You're right, of course.

[She crumples up the paper. Looking at it for another second will just make her ill.]

This is just another attempt to make us all lose our heads and act rashly. But it won't work.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah, no matter how much the bear keeps piling things on, there's no way he can take us down! I think we're, like, pretty much unbeatable at this point.

[...truth be told, this has been... it's been rough, but she's fine.

this is fine.]

[falchiowned]

I'm not sure about that, but... If you keep up that attitude, then... yes, I think we'll be just fine.

[Or she really wants to believe so, at least.]

...We will get out of here. Together.

I promise.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah... I really want to make sure we can get everyone out of here. I don't know... maybe we should check up on everyone? I don't know if they've weathered some crazy stuff the way we have.

[falchiowned]

That's not a bad plan. Under other circumstances I'd want to give everyone some space, but... More than anything, we need to stay united.

It's the only real way we can fight back against that bear right now.

[thejusticewagon]

Hmmm... do you think we could keep 'em distracted, maybe? I don't know, I've never really had to keep anyone from hurting anyone else before outside of swooping in and saving them. Which... uh, I don't think will work here.

[falchiowned]

Right... I'm afraid I have the same problem. There must be some way to keep everyone occupied and raise morale, right?

Let's think about this. What would father do?

[thejusticewagon]

Hmm...

Oh, I know! How about a heroic speech? Those ALWAYS seemed to work when father did 'em!

[falchiowned]

Father is definitely good at inspiring others.

Let's try it. We'll follow his example and come up with a speech of our own.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah, definitely! If we do a combo speech, we should do great!

Do you think we should plan one out and rehearse it, or do you think we should improv it? I don't know... I mean, normally I'd say improv all the way, but this is something pretty important.
