| 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?
a - here heem comes
Yet he couldn't stop himself from turning this into something terrible. So he lets his mouth fall open and allows the filth to fly free.]
Catch a few? Hold on buddy. I'm a bit of a pitcher myself when it comes to those sorts of rendezvouses, so maybe we should work this out.
no subject
...or he could wink and play along. Because he's not stupid and knows exactly what this guy's getting at.]
Fine by me, but doesn't that kill the mood a little?
no subject
...
Oh, wait. This guy was putting up with that? The idea he should bow out of this game of chicken cropped up in the back of his mind, but that doesn't mean Gintoki was smart enough to follow it. Instead, he decides to push back. He couldn't just be outdone and then have to awkwardly walk away from it...!]
You think so? Ah, ah you're one of those really spontaneous types. Planning takes away all the adventure, huh? Sometimes a step into adulthood is understanding that you need to have some sort of plan, or else two pitchers are going to end up pounding balls at one another, right?
[The other guy was certainly going to get embarrassed first, right? Right?!]
no subject
How about we give it a shot first, then we can talk. Nothing like a little experimentation to keep things interesting, right?
[He covers his smile with his glove, eyes gleaming.] Besides, I'm a catcher.
no subject
Ha ha...
Experimentation...??
Was this guy really that wild?]
Ah. Ah, wait. So ah. You're a catcher? So were you just playing tsun a moment ago, was that it, Baller-kun? Trying to play coy to catch a pitcher off-guard, ne?
no subject
Maybe he's wild, maybe he's not. Gintoki's never going to find out because Miyuki keeps it all under lock and key.]
Is it working?
no subject
He's sweating. That smile twitching as if it would leave any moment.]
Ah. Ah. Huh? Working? Oh. Oh the tsun act...! Tsundere is a really outdated fad, you know! It starts to get really bothersome...
[So. The Tsundere will lecture about tsundere-ism in hopes of somehow talking himself out of this mess.]
