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.

[...huh. Now, some of that smells familiar, but some of that smells... kind of different? Either way...]

Hey, what's cookin'? Whatever it is smells great!

[bloodfridge]

[So much for enjoying some alone time. Ragna says nothing for a couple of seconds, instead making sure everything's coming out just right.]

Spicy beef udon.

[Continuing his trend of being rude, he doesn't even look at her when he answers.]

[thejusticewagon]

...udon? I mean, I definitely have had beef before, but I don't think I've ever had that. What's it like?

[...unfortunately, she's the sort of person who can't take a hint...]

[bloodfridge]

It's like soup.

[Probably because it is soup.

Reaching for a tiny bowl, Ragna pours some of the hot liquid inside with a ladle and brings it up to his mouth. Not bad, he supposes, but it still needs more flavor. Putting the bowl back down, he grabs various spices that are sitting next to him on the counter and starts tapping them to sprinkle in the contents. Too bad he's only realized just now that the last few spices are next to Cynthia and out of his reach. So much for trying to give the bare minimum of conversation.]

If you're gonna stick around, could you at least make yourself useful and hand me those spices next to you?

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, I see!

[she looks a little closer...]

...yeah, noodle soup, right?

[...and even if she's annoying, she at least tries to be helpful!]

And hey, no problem! Do you want 'em all, or a specific one?

[bloodfridge]

[To be fair, he finds everyone annoying. It's nothing personal.

Except fluffy things like cats, but don't tell anyone.]

Just hand me all of 'em. It'll be easier that way.

[thejusticewagon]

[your secret would theoretically be safe with her, Ragna]

All right, then! Comin' right up!

[HERE IS EVERY SPICE. she actually does not drop them, which is amazing.]

[bloodfridge]

[He would theoretically appreciate it. By which I mean Cynthia would get a nod and a grunt of acknowledgement that didn't sound as pissy as usual. Truly we have a man who knows how to deal with people in a kind and rational manner.]

Yeah, thanks.

[Holy shit, he actually looked in her direction as he accepted them. Of course his gratitude doesn't seem very sincere, but baby steps. Regardless, he adds the spices to the pot, taking great care to only add small portions of each, as if he's done this before. Almost like it's second-nature, really. Finally he gives the broth a few more stirs before refilling the bowl and tasting it.

...then he grabs another and does the same to it, handing it over to her. What.]

Here. Tell me what you think.

[thejusticewagon]

[...huh.

Well, she tried Kjelle's cooking once and survived, so you know what? It actually smells good, so...]

...let's see...

[siiip.]

Wow, that's got some kick to it! In a good way, I mean. It's exciting, not overwhelming!
