TEST DRIVE [SMASH RONPA]

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.

[WHY IS HIS BLOOD MAGENTA YOU BASTARDS]

1

[He's in Hell. And its pink.

As Liara would say, by the goddess. So much pink. Who thought this was a good idea? For that matter, how did he even get here? Urgh.

Well, time to look for a way out. Or a means of getting his radio to work. He'd take someone on the outside - anyone - to contact. Even Javik. Even Joker.

Though most of these people seem to be human...ish? Maybe he's on Earth. ~~Small comfort, honestly.~~ Oh, and there's something else he's looking for, as he bluntly puts it.]

You wouldn't happen to know where they took all the weapons, by any chance, would you?

[If he couldn't do things diplomatically, after all...]

2

[...To say he's annoyed would be an understatement. He's staring at the refrigerator, eyes narrowed into a death stare. It's clear he's not happy.

The only dexo-amino food of any kind in the entire damn kitchen is mint.]

I feel like this is supposed to say something about my situation. I can't imagine what that could be.

[Sarcasm? Never.]

3

[Well, Monobear got one thing right: Garrus wants to kill someone!.........Well, its Monobear he wants to shoot, granted...so he'll just have to settle for ripping up the motive, tossing it in the trash, and in lieu of punching stuffed animals, he instead is shooting things in an arcade game instead. And pretending everyone's a Monobear in the game.

Feel free to bother him!]

4

[Well, crap. Someone died. Of course. Why wouldn't someone kill someone else? Still...he's military. He's got a police background. He knows what needs to be done.]

I'll start looking over the body.

Edited 2015-09-01 18:50 (UTC)

A: ARRIVAL

[What in the world-?]

[Okay, he was going to get on a submarine. He's absolutely sure he was going to get on one. This is nowhere NEAR a submarine. Yomiel gazes at his surroundings, standing out like the banana-haired sore thumb he is and looking dumbfounded (and trying not to shudder at the overabundance of pink everywhere). It's impossible for him to sleep, so this can't be a dream, it can't! And his body can no longer process drugs either...theory after theory gets tossed out of his mind. Nothing makes sense. Finally, he can't stand it - he grits his teeth, letting out a frustrated noise.]

Where the hell am I?! [He curls his hands into fists at his sides. No, no, his plan, his deal, it was-!]

This can't be possible?! I-I can't be here right now!

B: ARCADE GAMES ARE FOR NERDS

[Yomiel's still quite in shock. Not only did this all seem surprisingly real, but his powers have been taken away. Somehow. A part of him is elated, but another part is quite anxious as to what, exactly, could that mean. Was this the "life" that they promised him? If so, it was, well, a really poor attempt at one. He's stuck with a bunch of weirdos in some garishly pink place, and to say he's upset would be quite the understatement.]

[He wanders around, stopping when he hears the sounds and sees the lights of the lively arcade. Arcade games, huh? He remembers playing these when he was a kid. Maybe he could just, well, quickly stop in and see what exactly they have to offer.]

[One can find him wandering around the arcade, occasionally playing a few rounds on each machine - he's quite good at it, even though his heart doesn't really seem to be into what he's playing.]

C: WILDCARD

[Hit me up for any other prompt, let's play out something!]

1

Her eyes flicker in confusion before she quickly rises out of the bed. Well, that's odd. The Trainer hasn't slept in a many years. She always considered it one of those things that happened to other people.

After thirty minutes of stretching, push-ups, and other exercise, she decides to explore a bit. Perhaps they have a jogging track. Or a gym. But it hardly matters. Its not like anything can stop her from exercising.

2

You know what this is? A perfect opportunity. Sure people might die or whatever, but what's really important is getting people fit.

She manages to find a pretty good spot to lay down some mats and begin her stretches. Maybe someone could join her and she could teach them how important it is to stay healthy and fit. There isn't anything more important than that!

3-A

She stares at the paper in her hand, not a single definable expression on her face. Is she upset? Angry? Sad? Its impossible to tell. But one thing's certain: the contents of that note shook her to the very core.

Or she can't read. One or the other.

3-B

There's something wrong. There's something horribly wrong. The bear released some kind of... "virus" into the camp. She's never experienced such a thing before. Her entire body hurt, every limb aching in pain. Even standing up is exhausting and sweat-inducing.

Who invented such a horrible concept as sickness.

5

[Choose a challenger and make your own scenario]

A. ARRIVAL
[This is most definitely not because of the grape juice.

There are still a whole lot of questions springing in his mind right now, but hopefully with a little investigating he can answer some of them out. At least his memory isn't gone (or at least, it isn't to his knowledge), so that discounts any fire extinguishers to the head.

The rooms could really do with less pink, though. It's starting to hurt his eyes a little. And that's even after having looked at Edgeworth and his very pink outfits for the last couple of years already.

Anyway.

Out in the open now, Phoenix is walking around and taking in the sights, most of which are very strange indeed. Either he's in some really funky dream in his head or this is some... really weird version of--hell? God, he has no idea.

He really shouldn't have drunk that grape juice last night.]

B. KITCHEN
[It's nearly time for lights out, but Phoenix isn't going to retire until he's had his nightly grape juice. By now its long enough for people to know its more of less some sort of weird nightly ritual for him (no it is, but Phoenix likes to pretend it is).

But either way, right now he does want some grape juice, and damn if he can't find the bloody bottle. If he didn't know better, maybe the bear did it just to spite him or something. He wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.]

C. WILDCARD
[Hunt down this hobo in your own situation!]

Edited 2015-09-01 19:34 (UTC)

a.

[Grumble grumble grumble. Bowser is still super-convinced he's going to cream all of these losers and get himself out of here, but now's not the time for that. What it is time for, however, is occupying himself in the absolutely enormous movie theater. He has a giant bag of popcorn - lovingly labeled with the words "MONOBEAR CINEMAS" and our lovely headmaster's mug, and somehow manages to fit himself in a triple-wide seat.

Of course, if it weren't for his lack of flame breath, he'd be spitting fireballs at the screen right now.]

Oh, come on! They didn't even try to capture my brilliant likeness! Who's this leather-wearing lizard-looking chump, huh?!

b.

[It's motive day, and the Bowz is not happy. Monobear's already made himself disappear at this point, so he can't exactly smash the guy in the face. He lets out a deafening roar - one that would surely create flames if that stupid bear had left him with that ability, and angrily marches off to the mess hall.

As Bowser stomps off, he drops what he was given as part of the motive: a photo of himself surrounded by...who are these guys?]

WILDCARD

[DOWN FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING.]

[You know who never exercises? EVER? It's the Bowz. You guessed it. So, he's gonna stare at the Trainer like she has three heads.]

Da crud is this supposed to be?! [He's only asking because you happened to lay down those mats right in front of the kitchen.]

[Excuse me, if anyone is going to cream anyone, it's Princess Daisy. You back up off of her sir.

Daisy can play nice, however, so she's totally up for movie night! And she's stealing Bowser's popcorn too. Not that he'd notice, right? Getting comfortable in her own seat, she looks up to the screen.]

Ugh, I know! He's so gross! What kind of guy has spikes on his head like that?

[Stealing more popcorn right now.]

They didn't even get me right! Archeology?! As if!

You say that like we haven't been in more impossible places before.

[Why can Sissel suddenly mindtalk? Who knows, Sissel himself doesn't even remember. But it feels natural to him, like he's been able to do this for a while.]

1

[When he woke up in a bed, surrounded by soft curtains and luxury, for a brief heated moment he thought it was all a dream. That he was in Alicia's bed and everything else had been the fault of some fever or another.

He crushed that thought the moment it occurred before it could take root, baring his teeth at the very pink ceiling. The former knight threw the comforter back, oddly pleased to see he was still in his armor, regardless of how uncomfortable it must have been to sleep this way. Taking inventory he found himself unarmed, but otherwise healthy. Or well, as healthy as he could be now, under fed, healing from Straybow's final attack, bordering on filthy. It didn't matter. What mattered was finding out where he was and more importantly WHO had brought him here.

There was no one else, after all.

Such were his thoughts when he opened the door out into the main area, eyes narrowed and sharp... but perhaps someone dressed for battle, a knight might be somewhat comforting to the scared masses that are waking up around the same time. Never mind that he looks a little ragged, or the slowly building rage in his eyes. At least he's calm and looks like he might have once been a professional]

2

[This whole thing was absurd.

He somewhat knew what an arcade was. or more specifically he knew what a screen was, what the lights were, that this was technology not witch craft thanks to his short time in OD-10 processors. Regardless, they were still utterly foreign to him. But it was enough for him to not try and smash the damned things the moment he saw them.

But he still thought the very idea was ridiculous. If it was him he would have left his captives without any distraction outside themselves. Let them stew in having to face each other, knowing one would die with no distractions. The bear demon was childish. An idiot.

...though to anyone stumbling upon him, the knight glaring at the arcade machines like they personally insulted him might be more hilarious then intimidating.]

4

[He was dying.

Oersted wonders if he should be more upset. If anything he's more annoyed that someone snuck up on him then the fact that he's bleeding out. He's made not attempt to hide his feelings about his 'classmates' after all, so the fact that one finally used him as a target isn't really surprising.

He should be angry, enraged, dragging himself after the one that dared. But right then, all he felt was relief. It was finally over, and all he can do is smile while staring as his pink stained hands.]

...Alicia...

[He planned to die nice and quietly on the floor, hoping his attacker managed to graduate- they earned it, after all. He didn't expect to be found before he escaped this hell. But once he heard the footfalls turned his glassy eyes over to the person in the door way, trying to sneer but just managing a wry half smile]

Close the door. Give me a moment to rest, then you shall have your investigation.

Edited 2015-09-01 17:49 (UTC)

Arrival:

[Waking up in a bed? Totally normal. Waking up in a bed that's no your own? Weird and worthy of concern. Factor in a gaudily furnished room (Seriously, pink? This room should be blue!) and it's just plain creepy. Luckily Gym Leaders don't get their position by being easy to get a rise out of. Being the most powerful Gym Leader in the Johto region, Clair is of course no exception. Which is exactly why the first thing she does it stomp out of the room without even investigating it and marching straight out into the so-called camp.

As calmly as can be, of course.

The new item in her pocket (do biketards even have pockets???) is left largely unnoticed. Probably because she's too busy being angry. She can't believe someone actually managed to get the drop on her. Who could be behind this? Team Rocket? But they disbanded quite a while ago...again. She supposes it's possible they reformed again, but the fact that she's clearly able to roam around without anyone stopping her seems odd. Maybe it's just some kind of prank? Perhaps, but it's still too early to tell.

Her thoughts fade from her mind quickly once she spots another person. Doesn't matter what they look like or how they're acting; suddenly they will have one obviously irritated young woman with a cape calling out to them.]

Stop!

[Closing the distance quickly, Clair calls out once more.]

Who are you?! Why are you here?!

[MAN, he doesn't even care at this point, he's bored enough that he would watch this with anyone. Besides, a princess is a princess, and Daisy does fit that bill. Though he is totally gonna try and nudge that popcorn back - even if it is extra extra extra large. ]

They're not even spikes! It's just this stupid guy's hair!

[Just kind of flailing those massive claws all over the place.]

Also, why would I ever kidnap you? None of this crap makes sense!

[Hey you're not so bad, we should totally go go-karting after we don't get murdered and die. Just saying. We could even invite Waluigi and sneak onto Super Bell Subway, it'll be great. Also, hey! Don't steal her popcorn she's stealing from you! This is rude.]

Man, that looks extra ridiculous! You'd have like... better hair! I'd always thought you'd be like a red head.

[Hey, whoa! You'll knock over the popcorn! Jerk!]

You mean, how could you ever kidnap me. Because there's no way you'd be able to kidnap someone like me!

[We in a fite.]

A: Arrival

[...This room sure is pink.

Sissel doesn't spend much time in it, though, as he has other places he needs to be. Lynne is counting on him, he needs to get over to the detention center quickly. So he leaves the room, searching for a way out. Whenever he sees someone, he will ask the same question:]

Hey, have you seen a phone around here?

B: The Student Profile

[Eventually Sissel finds the strange device in his pocket, and he spends a few moments looking it over, turning it around, and pushing at the buttons. Eventually his student profile comes up! But he just squints down at it, trying to make sense of the scribbles.]

...hey! I can't read!

[This is a shocking revelation to him, like he never realized that he can't read before.]

C: some important memories are coming back

[Sissel can be found in the kitchen, staring at a carton of milk he just took out of the fridge. He seems to be thinking about something pretty serious, since he's talking to himself again, like he always does when he is thinking deeply. The guy just doesn't have a mind-to-mouth filter.]

...This isn't right. None of this is right.

D: Wildcard

[Want to do something different? This is the option for you!]

[For the sake of Alph not getting crushed within five minutes, I'm having him be at least child-sized here.]

1: arrival

[The night before, Alph went to bed with his head full of thoughts about collecting fruit with Brittany, Charlie and the Pikmin, as well as continuing the search for Captain Olimar in the process. The team was due to land in a newly-discovered location that they had dubbed the Twilight River, where they thought they might find more clues to Olimar's location. Without their Cosmic Drive Key - currently believed to be in Olimar's possession - they would never be able to leave PNF-404 and save their own planet. Thus, Alph was absolutely determined to start strong the following morning and help the crew safely recover that key!

Unfortunately, those plans will have to be put on hold, because when Alph awakes the following morning, PNF-404 and the rest of his crew are far, far away.]

…This isn't the S.S. Drake.

[As he rises from the plush bed, he further confirms that no, this definitely is not the space ship that he and his crew reside in every night on PNF-404.

It doesn't take very long for panic to set in. Moments later, Alph finds himself rushing for an exit.]

This isn't the S.S. Drake!!

[. . .]

[Anyone wandering around the open area of the camp in the first half-hour of arrival might see what appears to be a blue-haired little kid in a space suit frantically running around and shouting for people named Brittany and Captain Charlie, whoever they are.

He may even run up to you, still equally as frantic.]

E-Excuse me, do you have any idea where we are? Or how we got here? Do you know what's going on?

[Apparently he hasn't come across the device that's neatly tucked into one of the pockets of his space suit just yet. He's a bit distracted. You know, it happens. Like for instance, it hasn't even sunk in that he's talking to a completely different life form right this second.]

2: in the kitchen

[Although being forced to live in the camp hasn't been easy for Alph to accept, he at least understands that he and his fellow campers don't have much choice but to stay for the time being. As such, he's taken to doing what he's been trained to do when he lands on foreign territory: explore.

Being a typical Koppaite, it doesn't take him long to discover the kitchen and all the food within it. A Koppaite's natural instinct is to eat, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't feeling just a little bit ravenous right now. As for how he's going to go about eating with his helmet on…well, he can figure that out once he's obtained the food.

Unfortunately, the fresh fruit is up high on the counters, and Alph is a bit vertically-challenged. Collecting food from high up is difficult when he doesn't have his Pikmin to assist him! So hopefully no one notices him in his moment of weakness as he's moving a chair over to use as a step-stool to get to the food.

Someone's totally gonna notice him though, right?]

3: motive day, in the library

[You know what really sucks? Seeing the race of plant creatures that have been helping you during your adventure on a foreign planet gone completely extinct. What's worse than that? Seeing your crew-mates injured and possibly dead.

But those things are exactly what Alph saw during the motive announcement today. And what's the worst of all is that he has no idea how either of those things happened, or if what he saw was even real. Added on top of that, he won't be able to find out unless he graduates from camp. That means he'd have to kill someone.

It takes all his willpower not to hole himself up in his room to brood about this, but he does manage to get himself to the library where he buries himself in some books on engineering. He doesn't care what kind- anything to take his mind off of what went down today. Of course he can't carry on like this forever, but for the meantime it's working.

That said, anyone else looking to block their troubles with reading can find Alph at one of the tables, looking utterly distraught instead of intrigued by what he's reading. Being distraught is probably a common thing for everyone today.]

wildcard

[Choose your own adventure with this tiny nerd.]

[YOU NEVER KNOW, YO. Also, hat in the name of Rainbow Road is a Waluigi? Quit jabbering your gibberish, he doesn't have time for that.]

I am a redhead! You see this flowing mane, kid? All natural, grade-A Bowser!

[Oh, man. That earns Daisy a deep and bellowing laugh, one that actually manages to knock some of the popcorn out of the back.]

Gwahahahaha! If I wanted to, I could kidnap you in a heartbeat, sister!

[Sorry old man, do you need your ears cleaned? Also no, no rainbow road, not after the last time.]

I meant human you, dum dum! Of course you've got red hair... have you washed it recently?

[OH. YOU'RE ON.]

You? Please! I realize you kidnap Peach all the time, but I'm totally different! You couldn't kidnap me on your best day!

[Forget about his hair - this is not a road you want to go down, Daisy. I'm not talking about Rainbow Road, I'm talking about the "don't you dare think you can insult Bowser's kidnapping" skills road. It's somehow more challenging and way easier to fall off of.]

Is that a kidnapping challenge? In case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of the master of the craft!

...Pardon?

[You silly humans and your weird inventions]

Edited 2015-09-01 18:22 (UTC)

A [Well... this is confusing.

The last place he expected to be woken up was the Princess's bedroom. Not enough to worry him but enough to make Luigi wonder if he somehow passed out recently in Princess Peach's castle and the Toads put him in this room

That seemed believable enough, but when he opened the bedroom door to see that it led to a place that was distinctly not Princess Peach's castle, the confusion grew to bafflement.]

Wh-wha..?

[And so now Luigi is wandering through the area, wondering what the heck happened. There is a very good chance he might run into several students if someone doesn't stop him.]

B [Luigi hadn't went to the theater yet. He was mostly caught up in the panic of this whole situation to worry about entertainment.

But now that it's been a few days he's starting to realize that he can't just freak out the entire time he's here. Mario wouldn't do that after all.

Still maybe he should do something that will help calm his nerves a little before doing anything productive.

He happened to go into the theater as soon as the title "Super Mario Bros" appeared and it immediately grabbed Luigi's interest. Hey, he had never heard of someone making a movie about their lives, this could be kind of fun!

But as soon as the movie got to the dinosaurs bit, Luigi became unsure that this movie was actually about his life, but honestly? His burning curiosity is currently overtaking any confusion that's going on through watching.

Maybe the "Super Mario Bros." title was just a coincidence?]

C [It was Motive Day, and honestly Luigi still had a hard time believing. Even with all the evil that's here, it seems like they would focus more on trying to escape rather than kill everyone here.

However as he looked at the piece of paper given to him, tears started welling up in his eyes. This... this had to be fake, right? There is no way something like this could happen!]

D [Or you can come up with a starter if you have anything you'd like to thread!]

[Who are we talking about here? A cute little princess who needs rescuing all the time or a Princess who will slam a volleyball in your face and apologize after the fact.]

Really? Then why do you always need help to do it, old man?

[Trash talking TO THE HOOP]

[All of them! Every princess!]

Old man?! Means a lot coming from the girl who doesn't matter outside of our little sports competitions!

[AW SNAP.]

[YO WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY BRO]

You wanna say that again, old fart?! Or do you wanna go get your son to come say it for you!

[Now she's standing up and she's ready to fight.]

[Oh boy that sure is a weird-looking human! Maybe it's a costume, but maybe not, Garrus looks too real to be a costume.]

...huh. I think I can safely say I've never met a person like you before.

[He didn't mean to say that out loud though. Sissel has trouble with keeping his thoughts to himself.]

I was looking for a phone. You know, a telephone?

[Oh god people yelling at Luigi. There is no way he's awake or not-confused enough for this.

Forgive him if he is instantly flustered by those questions.]

I-I don't know. Am I-a supposed to be here?

[Please say he isn't and that this is a mistake.]

2-A.

[If you ask Daisy what's the best thing in life, she'll totally say competition. There's nothing wrong with competition! When it comes to playing games, she'll totally wipe the floor with you! ...In a completely friendly and non-threatening way. And then we'll all be best friends and have lots of fun together.

Hey, she doesn't get kidnapped.

What she seems to be playing a lot is a set of racing cabinets, where she's clearly cranking the wheel way too hard and slamming on the gas with her incredible high heels. You don't want to mess with her.]

No no no! You can't dodge that! That's cheating! You're playing dirty!

[You should totally challenge her, it won't go badly at all.]

2-B.

[But Arcade Games aren't the only thing she's interested in playing. So she goes around the school gathering anything together that might be usable for a game. There needs to be a golf course here. Seriously, we could all use some practice for our swings. She will make one if she has to. There will be nothing glass left in the building.

But because she can't do metalwork yet (she is signed up for it at the Shroom Community College back home), she's found some brooms and taken a piece of paper and thrown it on the floor in a scrunched up ball. Perfect!]

Hey! Let's play some indoor hockey! Come on, it'll be the coolest!

[Of course it will. It's Daisy! Peach's best friend! Who wouldn't want to hang out with her?]

3

[It's the one time in the week that Daisy is rather quiet. She's not jumping up and down, and she's definitely not as excited as she usually is. In fact, she's rather somber. The motive is a picture from home, with the warning that if she wants to find out what happened to the people in it, she'll need to 'graduate'.

She doesn't hide the picture at all, holding it by her side just enough to show off a glimpse of it. She's not in the mood for adventure or fun today.

She just begins to walk off, trying not to let Monobear's game get to her. Not this time. Not ever.

But it's going to get harder.]
