TEST DRIVE

Want to test out the setting? Not sure if your character is a good fit? Need to start gathering some samples? You know how it goes: → Comment with the character's name and series in the subject. → Pick an option or make your own. → Tag around. → Enjoy yourself!! Check out these helpful links to get a sense of the game: G A M E  L I N K S ✖ FAQ ✖ Bracelets ✖ Locations R E S O U R C E S ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Wiki ✖ Virtue's Last Reward Trailer ✖ Virtue's Last Reward OVA option one. You're awake. You're lying on a cold floor, and your head is pounding. It feels like you've been hit with a sledgehammer. You can barely move, but you push yourself up anyway, and look around. You're in an unfamiliar warehouse, and on your left wrist is a bracelet. It feels heavy, and no matter how hard you tug at it, it refuses to come off. You can't remember how you arrived here, nor do you recognize anyone else. Try not to panic too much. ( For the purposes of the Test Drive, characters will be arriving in the warehouse instead of the Elevator/AB Room) option two. An Ambidex Game has just concluded. You have entered in your vote and there's no turning back. Did you trust your opponent and vote ally? Or did you double-cross them and vote betray? What did your opponent do? Did they vote betray while you voted ally, or did they vote ally while you voted betray? Why did you choose one or the other? Just what did you do? option three. Rules are meant to be broken. You've just reached a certain amount of BP, and you can finally have access to food (low or high quality) or to the dorms. It's great, things are getting a bit more bearable now, but seeing the others without the same "luxuries" as you, you feel like you should do something. It's against the rules to bring food or blankets out of their respective rooms, but Zero can't have eyes everywhere... can he? option four. Exploration and Escape. All the windows are bolted shut, and all the doors are locked. The exit is through the number 9 door, but no one can reach it until they have 63 BP. It'll take too long to wait for help to arrive, and to accumulate that many points. There must be some way out. Maybe if you search enough, you can find a tool to help you break down a door. option five. Wild Card. Want to try something else? Go for it! Have your own AB Game round, have characters argue against each other, try to keep the mood cheery, whatever! Make full use of the environment and mechanics, just remember to keep it within the game's structure.

option five this time!! free time events go

[ahogay]

[It's been a while since they last had an AB Game or random event, and Hinata can feel his sanity gradually starting to slip away. The longer he remains unoccupied, the longer his mind dwells on their hopeless situation and the thought that they'll probably never make it out of here alive. All their attempts to outsmart Zero so far have failed - would they ever be able to defeat an opponent who seemed to have them all figured out?

The negativity of his thoughts are starting to make him physically ill, so Hinata decides that it would be best to find a distraction. He wanders around the warehouse to find someone who doesn't seem to be too preoccupied and approaches them.]

Hey, do you have a moment?

[curryparty]

[Asuma had been keeping himself occupied by tending to the flowers. He's not sure why, but caring for them comes naturally to him, and he does like looking at them. Even though they can be frail, they're a little spot of beauty in an otherwise dank situation.

That said, he does perk up a bit when Hinata approaches him. Flowers are nice, but he's a social creature at heart.]

Hi, Hajime! What's up?

[ahogay]

[It's nice to see that Asuma is still in good spirits, at least. Hinata offers him a small smile.]

Not much, just felt like hanging out with someone. How are the flowers holding up?

[curryparty]

[He gives a lax salute.]

They're doing well! Even though it's an artificial light, it looks like they're able to grow just fine!

[With his excitement on the topic, you'd think he'd discovered a way out.]

Oh, oh, that reminds me-- would you like to see a cool trick?

[ahogay]

[Although Hinata can't quite share Asuma's enthusiasm about flowers, he has to admit it's actually... pretty cute. And it's just the kind of attitude he needs to see right now.]

Sure, why not.

1/2

[curryparty]

[He nods and holds up his hands, his sleeves rolled back presumably to keep the dirt off of them while he tended to the flowers. His palms are slightly smudged with dirt, but other than that, they're obviously empty.]

Watch closely!

[And then... he starts moving them around with a lot of superfluous gestures and whooshing sounds. For how serious his expression is, it comes off as incredibly silly.]

2/2

[curryparty]

[But at the end, there's an extra big gesture, and at some point Hinata will notice he now has a few small flowers in his hands! Just where did those come from?]

Ta-daaaah!

[ahogay]

[Wow, Hinata looks genuinely impressed by that trick. He did look closely just like Asuma said, but he can't even begin to guess how he managed to pull that off.]

Whoa, that was actually pretty cool! How'd you learn to do that?

[curryparty]

[He looks pretty pleased with himself. Yaaaay, magic tricks!]

I don't remember! But it's neat, isn't it? I must have learned it for fun.

[He does at least know himself well enough to know that it's not something he did very seriously.]

[optimistical]

[ Insert some long thing on how Naegi is being positive about the thing yet still nervous and how this is similar to Dangan Ronpa. I ain't got time to type all that out. ]

Sure. What is it, Hinata-kun?

[ahogay]

[Wow, such roleplay, much quality, wow wow.]

Uh... you up for playing some bad video games or something? Doing nothing for so long is starting to make me go insane.

[optimistical]

[ I do what I want, you don't control me. ]

Yeah, there's not a lot to do around here... but sure, that'll pass the time pretty fast.

[ahogay]

[You will reply to this tag...]

Hopefully. [And off they go to the lounge. Once they're there, Hinata starts going through the selection of games in the shelves.]

What kind of game are you in the mood for?

[optimistical]

[ ... DAMMIT ]

Hmm, I don't know. There's actually not a lot of stuff here, huh?
