| 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?

[If they're naming off things they have to do, then Roxas will simply roll with that. He's occupied with preparing a latte for Add anyhow, though by now he has the steps down pat. Somebody with his memory doesn't have to practice all that much...
Though it did take him a while to figure out how to make designs on the surface of the drink. And when he turns to settle the mug in front of Add, he ought to recognize a stylized kitty-cat face]
You like sweet and salty stuff.
[Not a question, not seeking confirmation. He's decided.
Enjoy the sea-salt caramel latte Add]
no subject
Right, yeah. That... too. [???? is this a conversation?
Before he can attempt to decipher that exchange any further, though, a mug is placed down in front of him. He stops and stares. It's... it's a cute little cat face...
He "coughs", sliding the mug (carefully) towards himself.]
Who doesn't? [He's not about to complain about caramel, anyway. He takes a tentative sip, trying to minimize damage to the cat face.]
... Hrm. [It's actually... pretty good... but] I could've gotten the same thing for half that price anywhere else. Do you enjoy ripping people off?
no subject
But he's still got no idea what it is]
Moonbucks will charge you two hundred yen more.
[So no, actually the same thing isn't half the price everywhere else]
Haven't gone to kitty corner, so I don't know your prices.
no subject
[siiip
...]
How long have you been living here, anyway? I didn't know you moved. It's been, what, six years? Seven?
no subject
[And then he falls silent, as though he doesn't intend on responding to the rest.
Eventually with a restless shift of his weight to one side, he folds his arms across his chest and puffs out a quiet breath]
Seven. We moved here after the accident.
[His voice is tight, a stiffness even his general monotone fails to mask]
