| test drive |
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?
this is the cr i always wanted.
Oh yeah? Huh. You're right. Then here. I'll slip you the goods, but then it's time for answer number 4, got it?
[And he does send exactly what the other asked for. A long haired kitten and a short haired kitten playing together and mewling with enough fervor than any high-school girl's heart would melt from her chest...]
Though you'll have to use your imagination, huh? Them's the breaks with school filters, bud.
sweet sweet teenagers
...Huh.
You actually found it. Like that was the most specific request I could think of but you literally found it in about two seconds. I feel like I should give you props for that.
All right! New deal! If you can pull off this favor for me I'll totes get you some help for this assignment.
Some good help too. Way better then any of the stuff you'd copy from me.
something like that...
[Jeez, was this guy really that easy to impress? Or... did Gintoki retain more about the cat videos his roommate often screamed about than he would like to admit...? No, no, no! It had to be that this guy was an idiot! Absolutely! He remembered this guy from class...!
Kinda.
... Maybe he should stop sleeping so much in class, then he'd have a better idea. Tch.]
Another deal? You trying to run a fast one by the Spoiled-Milk-Family over here, huh? We'll spoil you if you ain't careful! [What's this pseudo-yakuza talk, even?! All this over a cat-video and the answer to number 4?]
"Gin-dono, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to give me the answer to number 4....
no subject
But for a 100% bonafide right answer, I promise ya, this one simple little favor from you and you'll get A+ homework no hesitation. Ain't even that hard of a favor to grant considering your speedy skills at finding info on the internet.
What do you say?
[This absolutely isn't dubious in any way.]
no subject
Well, since you recognize me as an A+ mouse-jockey - then sure. Fine. What is it you're looking for, Glazed-tan?
[Though if it's porn you're about to be way disappointed. The school's got filters, after all! And while he may have found that cat video out of sheer luck and recall... he's actually not the most tech-savvy kid around.
...
But maybe he could get one of the other nerds he knows to help him out if it comes to that. Yeah. .... Yeah.]
no subject
Oh yeah man. Super sweet skills. Like you obviously must be a god at it or something. I have no idea how you do it.
But seriously that's great to hear! This will absolutely help the both of us! And I promise ya it ain't anything ridiculous.
It's just my project partner for this damn Greater East Asian History report screwed up and lost our Works Cited page for the assignment due tomorrow. We're working on it as is but it would really help if we had an extra hand to help BS some resources for us. I mean it's not like teachers actually check that shit anyway you know? And yet they still manage to have that one little page count for 25% of our grade if we don't have it.
So what do you say? A few legit looking citations for an awesome finished Ethics assignment? My partners a clutz but he's a braniac too and he'd certainly appreciate this from keeping his grade afloat.
no subject
And so- Gintoki sniffs and sends his reply.]
All right, I'll send it your way. But I need the answers first, got it? That's just how fair trade works in this sorta world. You musta figured that out by now, right?
no subject
Yeah yeah man hold on one sec just gotta convince my paranoid idiot of a partner that this is gonna be worth it. I swear the guys freaking out over the teach finding out that you copied his shit. I told him you didn't sound like stupid enough of a guy to copy it word for word but what can ya do right?
no subject
Ah??? Your partner is getting cold feet now all of a sudden? What's the verdict then? Am I gonna need t' ice him then? Ask him if the answers are worth his life...
no subject
Well, regardless I'm giving you the answers. Just thought maybe I'd get ya some A quality work instead of C quality. Since he's a better student than me and all that. But here, you can take mine to hold ya over until I manage to convince the nerd.
