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.

Oh, yeah, they're totally great! I mean, my big sister's the best, but my mom and dad are pretty much legends! They're heroes of our time!

[princessofstars]

[... the expression Rosalina returns that with is a smile twinged with sadness]

I see. I'm glad you cherish them so.

[thejusticewagon]

[unfortunately, Cynthia is pretty bad at reading the mood.]

...uh, anyway! Do you know what's going on here at all? I mean, I kind of went with my gut, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure what's going on at all.

[princessofstars]

[Rosalina's expression becomes more normal and level-looking]

I am afraid not. I am likely as confused as you are.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah, I'm... pretty confused. It might not be something too bad, but... it might be kind of bad. It's tough to say.

[princessofstars]

I suppose, then, that the only way we shall learn anything is by exploring.

[thejusticewagon]

Well, I'm all up for exploring! Anything dangerous that we run into... I can totally take it, so don't worry!

...have you done any yet, actually?

[princessofstars]

[Rosalina manages a small smile]

I shall put my trust in you, then. I actually have wandered for some time now, but I have not seen anything unique. It is also quite easy to get lost...

[thejusticewagon]

Huh... so it's actually kind of boring? That's kind of a let down, but oh well! Maybe we should... I don't know, leave bread crumbs to see where we've been?

[princessofstars]

I wouldn't call it boring, but... it is certainly slow to reveal its secrets.

[she blinks for a moment] Do we have any bread to make such crumbs with?

[thejusticewagon]

Well, we've just got to wrangle those secrets from its grasp!

...

Maybe we should try and find bread, then...?

[princessofstars]

[Rosalina smiles gently]

That would be quite a good idea even if we weren't looking for a means to mark our path.

[thejusticewagon]

Yeah, I don't know about you, but possibly getting kidnapped is making me kind of hungry.

All right, then! Let's get going and see what we can find!

[ONWARDS!]

[princessofstars]

[Rosalina laughed, and moved to eagerly follow her]

[ooc - good place to wrap?]

[thejusticewagon]

[ooc YES LET'S FUCKING DO IT]

[AFTER SOME AIMLESS WANDERING, they make it to the kitchen! This is good, but...]

...huh, this doesn't really... fit with the rest of the aesthetic, does it...?
