Welcome to The Lottery’s test drive meme! Before we get to the prompts, here are a few things to note:

Though you may only have ONE active character per round, you are free to play as many characters you wish on the TDM. Later, you will have the opportunity to bench characters if you want to try another, but only after you’ve been accepted.

Please be sure to thoroughly look through our FAQ so that you have a good understanding of the game’s mechanics. Also be sure to browse the information provided on both The Attribution Study and Shiroiwa for a better idea of the setting.

The date for the next round of Reserves is: February 29th
The number of currently available character slots is: 25

Important Note: A thread of 9 comments in the TDM (with at least 5 comments from your character) will count towards both sample requirements in the application. Consider this a special bonus for getting your feet wet in our community!

If your thread does not reach the required amount of comments, it may still be used as the In-World Sample in your application.

Flashback/Background threads in the TDM may be reposted to Shiroiwa Academy’s Community if both players were accepted into the game.

Provided below are some sample scenarios, but please feel free to plot and play whatever you’d like!

Sample Scenarios:

Sample 1:

You’ve just transferred to one of the three grade levels in Shiroiwa Academy and have yet to make any friends. Sure, people showed you around, but nothing has quite stuck yet. So as the lunch bell goes off, you pull out your bento and prepare to eat alone when another student saddles up beside you. Perhaps they’re being friendly or perhaps they simply want to mooch off of your food. Whatever the reasoning, you’re now stuck in some form of communication whether you like it or not.

Sample 2:

Everyone just loves partner projects, don’t they? Your teacher has randomly assigned you a partner, and now you both must come up with a presentation to show the class. Are you the type who does all the work? Do you push for fair exchange? Or perhaps you have no plans to do any work at all. Whichever it is, your partner is now moving their stuff to sit at the desk next to you. Better gather your might and prepare to weather the oncoming storm…

Sample 3:

It’s March 14, 20XX. You have been kidnapped and taken to the island, given your randomized duffle bag, and are now either desperately seeking shelter or methodically preparing to hunt down your weaker classmates. Whatever it is, you stumble upon another student - whether you know them well or not doesn’t matter. The rules have already been made clear to both of you - only one person gets to win. You need to either escape, kill, or attempt to make a truce with this classmate. What will you do?

Sample 4:

Your weapon broke. Perhaps it snapped as you embedded it into the skull of one of your classmates, or perhaps it was simply a stroke of bad luck. You return to the hideout you created for yourself, seeking a weapon you’d taken from a fallen student. But as you near the space, you realize something is off. There is some telltale sign that another has been here… Are they still around? Will you investigate? What if your stockpile has been pilfered by another student?

[Disinterest was strong with these two. Takasugi didn't bother to move his desk; he didn't even bother to stop texting through the announcement of their groups. It was only after all the screeching of dragged desks stopped clamoring in the room that he moved. But not far - Takasugi simply scooted his chair a short distance closer to his assigned partner. It wasn't enough to provide any sort of functional platform of communication, but they didn't need that.

Instead he regarded the question with a returned smirk of his own and a subtle tilt of the head towards the door. His idea? Blow this whole thing off.

Brief eye contact broken, Takasugi keened his jaw back to look down his nose at the teacher and raised his hand, fingers lazily half-curled in a gesture of formality that was just so subtly mocking.]


Excuse me, sensei? May we be excused? We need supplies from our lockers. [This, of course, received very suspicious regard from the teacher, but with no grounds to deny them, permission was granted.

So Takasugi rose, gathering his school bag and letting it hang limply in his hand at his side. He didn't push his chair in on his way out the door.

As soon as he cleared the threshold of the classroom Takasugi produced a pack of cigarettes, pulling one from it for himself before offering one to his partner, provided Izaya had followed.

If he hadn't, Takasugi would linger by the windows lining the wall opposite their classroom until dismissal. Was he smoking inside? Not technically, since he was propped on his elbows hanging out of the window frame.]

( izaya lounges back, epitome of detachment, and is more than content with letting takasugi run through whatever idea he had in mind - they were made 'partners' for the time being, after all, and all that ultimately meant for izaya was an opportunity to study one particular human and hope they weren't nearly as dull as the rest.

for now, the prospect seems promising enough, more so than the class, and izaya levers himself out of his seat with no additional convincing. he didn't even come with a bag, and hands lazily stuffed into his pant pockets, he follows with a hum.

though when the cigarette is offered to him, he waves a hand in lighthearted dismissal.
) Ha-ha - those things can kill you, you know.

( though unlike the preaching one might expect with the statement, none will be found in the ease of his tone (indifference, loud and clear), as he pivots on his heel. two steps towards the window, to swing it open and throw a precarious glance outside. ) - skipping out on class, huh? Good idea, though not very original.
