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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Sudden feeling of dread intensifies...I mean what.

That question, though. As painful as it is to admit-]

Not much, unfortunately, aside from the obvious. My attempts at investigating haven't gotten very far. The layout of this building doesn't make much sense either.

Yeah... it really doesn't. I'm not really sure how it isn't just burning down, either.. what's with all those weird lights?

[...what the fuck is electricity]

[Arceus help her.]

...you mean the lights powered by electricity?

[Clair being...well, Clair, isn't exactly good at being subtle, so her tone is definetely reeking of "you should totally know this".]

...

Wait, but how does that work? I know mages can use thunder tomes and stuff like that, but there's no way that can last long enough to keep things lit up for this long!

...is this a joke?

[Because it doesn't seem very funny. Not that Clair is the kinda person who'd know a good joke from a bad one, but...]

...no, it isn't! I really haven't seen anything like this before... what, is it supposed to be common?

Only for the past several hundred years.

[How does she not know that?

...that armor looks old. But no, that's impossible... Or is it. There are legends of time traveling Pokemon, after all.]

...wait, what? Is this... some kind of time stuff? I've kind of done that before, but it wasn't anything that crazy.

[...YOU KNOW, CASUALLY DROPPING THAT AS YOU DO]

[AIN'T NO THANG]

...are you saying you can time travel?

[KINDA THINKS YOU'RE CRAZY, CYNTHIA, BUT...]

Well... kind of? It's more like I went to a different world that was basically mine in the past, but different because we went there. I dunno, I'm pretty fuzzy on the details because Naga did it and not us, but that's basically the gist of things!

This Naga of yours... Do they have a connection with either Celebi or Dialga?

[Because obviously she knows what those are.]

...ummm... I don't know? I... guess you might be in some kinda weird Outrealm where she's not really around, I guess?

...

So now you're saying not only are we from two separate times, but also two separate dimensions.

[Don't mind her. She's just going to lean her head forward a bit and pinch the bridge of her nose with her right hand. When did her life get so weird?]

Yep, that's about it! ...Usually people know about Naga and don't have electricity, though, so that's pretty weird.

[...YOU KNOW, EVEN MORE THAN USUAL]

[And now she's massaging the bridge of her nose and muttering about how this whole situation is weird. Hopefully there's some Ibuprofen in this dump.]

...right.

[Clair lets out a sigh, bringing both hands to her hips and turning her attention to Cynthia.]

I won't lie; I don't entirely believe you, but... What you're saying doesn't sound completely out of the question. For now I'll trust you and your word. Don't make me regret it.

Yeah, I'll admit, it's pretty crazy and I only know any details because our dragon goddess was pretty patient about explaining it to us.

And hey, don't worry about it! I'm a heroine, right?

That remains to be seen. Though I suppose I'll have to trust your word on that as well.

[...]

...did you just say dragon goddess?

Oh, yeah! I mean, she can look like a normal human-ish person, too, but she is definitely a dragon.

I...see. Then perhaps Dialga and Palkia are the ones who sent us here.

[Clair pauses for a minute. And then-]

Tell me, does your world have creatures called Pokémon?

[She feels silly asking this question, because of course it does. A world without Pokémon can't possibly exist.]

...uh, Dialga and Palkia? Pokemon...?

Nope, never heard of 'em! Is this like electricity...? Is this the future?

Pokémon have existed for millions of years. For you not to have heard of them...I'm finding that more difficult to believe than your story.

[A world without Pokémon. That's...that's impossible for her to imagine, honestly.]

...wait, what? Uh, okay, what are Pokemon, exactly...? Because I'm not sure how the heck I would've missed that...

[~~The answer is nanomachines. It's always nanomachines.~~

Gosh this is so weird. How do you explain something that's such a consistent in your life to someone with (supposedly) no experience? Might as well be explaining what an arm is.]

Pokémon are...hmm. I guess the best way to explain is their a race of living beings who live alongside humans. They come in various shapes, sizes, types, and forms, but they also possess incredible powers. Some breath fire while others can generate electricity. In ancient times, some of them were even believed to be gods.

...that sounds super cool! What do they look like, though? ...Well, I guess they'd all look pretty different, huh? But yeah, that sounds... kind of like dragons? I mean, humans where I'm from can cast fire magic and electricity magic and wind magic, but they need Tomes to do it.

[THAT'S AT LEAST KIND OF EASIER TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE...]

There are dragon-type Pokémon. I happen to be a master at training them. The best in the world.

[~~Mention Lance and we might have the first murder on our hands.~~]

...but your world. Humans using magic; it's like something out of a fairy tale.
