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?

[You can keep telling yourself that, Gin-san! That a pissing contest was just about piss and trajectory - which anyone who wasn't a complete idiot mastered as soon as they were tall enough to aim at whatever they needed to. And if little Gin-chan had heart, then... well. He had no room to judge when it came to enthusiasm.

But they weren't really talking about that.]

I wasn't, really, soap opera-san.

[He doesn't often really listen to Gintoki anyway. Just enough to be infuriating, oh yes, but not enough to... get what he's saying.

Ah-ah! Little mongrels are the most likely to be swept up in wars! Often without their consent, or without them knowing!

And this little mongrel has lost the prize, and thus lost the war. So it goes.

And so does Gintoki, apparently.

No skin off his back, really, because he'd finally be able to eat his lunch in relative peace (maybe after washing his chopsticks... or at least pulling out clean ones...), but... ah, that wasn't to be, yet, either, because there's one final, petulant act left in Gintoki yet.

The temptation to give the desk an extra little tilt (it was a little wobbly, unfortunately) to send the bento careening off the edge was real. It would surely shock his annoying classmate, and give him ample excuse to straight punch him in his retreating back, but...

Well that would be such a travesty.

He was hungry, after all.

So he'll put on a fake-shocked expression, and a fake-relieved one right after.]

Later, ochintoki-san.

[Ah- but would that make Gin win the dick measuring contest this time? Ah well.]

[boogerflinger]

[If they were talking about it, Gintoki would’ve pointed out that Kamui seems awfully focused on how big Gintoki’s dick potentially was. And if they were talking about it - Gintoki would point out that trajectory was not simply aim, but also comprised of Drag, Matter, Potential Field, and Acceleration. Simpleton.

But, they weren’t talking about that, right? Right.]


[And really, apparently there was little use talking in the first place. This kid was dumber than a bag of bricks when it came to actually playing part to a productive conversation. The brat was usually just fishing for whose face it would be most fun to smash in - and Gintoki wasn’t exactly willing to rise to that bait.

Not because he couldn’t, but simply because that would be a pain to deal with. It was best to fly under the radar with this one.

And so he takes the ‘Ochintoki’ with nary a reaction - far too focused on the next promising set of goods. It just wasn’t worth his time…

And besides, this guy just too weirdly fixated on dicks. Just what sort of show did this personality seem to think he hailed from, huh?! Certainly not a running serial in JUMP, that was for sure!]
