test drive meme

[lessor]

Want to app, or maybe you've already got one written up? Maybe you want to try before you buy? This is the meme for that, in the official pre-opening test drive meme! Of course, it's unfair to throw you into a sea without some life vest, so some prompts for possible situations have been given to you, and are as follows. These can all be in either log style, text, voice, or video; it's up to you!

YOUR OPTIONS THE HOUSING GATE. While your new home is extremely lovely with a well stocked fridge and french doors and a carpet you could probably sleep comfortably on, especially if you're married and don't want to deal with awkward bed sharing, it's nice to go out every once in a while and explore the area. You do have a new car you know. Maybe you're a kid, joy riding, or taking you family on a little trip through the rows of houses that all look suspiciously alike. Or, perhaps, you've brought a friend along on a trip to somewhere else (you are running out of that low-fat butter you bought recently), maybe it's even a hitch-hiker! The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain no matter the scenario: you're going to be stuck in this car for a while. THE SHOPPING GATE. You're at work. Yeah, you've got a job now, working the 9 to 5, making money to buy that expensive food you like so much. Where do you work? Who are you working with? Do you like your boss? The answers to those questions are up to you. You should really pay attention to that customer coming up to you though. Since that is what you're getting paid for and all. THE PLEASURE GATE. There's a show going on, although as you watch, the NPCs performing it really aren't up to snuff. Their choppy legwork and monotonous musical numbers leave much to be desired. It's really quite boring to see La Favola d'Orfeo so brutally murdered by untalented, robotic, minions such as these. Maybe texting is in order. Maybe walking out and leaving, catching another show or taking a stroll is in order? They really ought to hire different people to put these things on. THE ALUMNI GATE. That obnoxious ringing alerts you that school has started yet again. Why do they make you come to this place when all the stupid teachers do is yammer about random things that no one really cares about. Since when did the economy really matter, anyway? Are you going to sit here and take this? Or walk around the school? The boring lady up front isn't really going to notice. Maybe you should go to lunch or chat up some school chums? Your youth isn't going to last forever, you know. WHATEVER YOU WANT, BRO. Use your imagination and get creative on your own terms! This doesn't count as being in game completely, so feel free to take some liberties with events that could have happened, people you could have met! Just remember to stick to game structure and the rules.

[Hopefully it isn't a Hetalia doujin or else that'd be awkward. Finland reluctantly takes the book, staring at the cover featuring two partially undressed men embracing each other. The "R-18" written in the corner tells him all he needs to know. His face reddens as he shifts his gaze away.]

Um, I see what you mean...

Isn't this the same as that ero from before? You know, with guys instead? I'm looking for something with more plot.

[firemaincannon]

[Oh lord no. After this meeting though Finland might be popping up in some of her newer works, ohoho. Sir, she is insulted.]

But there's plenty of plot in here! Two, star crossed lovers find one another, yet because of their families opposing their love they flee to the countryside where they start a new life with one another!! It's touching and heart rending!

[...]

I pride myself on my writing as well as my drawing thank you very much.

[sauna]

[This girl's scary! He shrinks back as her speech gets more and more passionate. Feuding families? Elopement? Hey, that plot sort of hits home. Maybe he could try some romance—]

Wait, you made this?

revolves....

[lovesung]

[ turning her head towards the new person-- ]

This woman stole something from one of the stores. I saw, so I'm trying to get her to confess, but I guess it's hopeless.

[lovesung]

That's good. [ She can't afford to make anymore bad first impressions, not now. ]

... It's my first time here.

[netidol]

I've been here for a little while, and it's perfectly fine to be "lonesome" given how messed up this place is.

[ The only thing Paru can do is annoy her to death. ]

oh heeeey mystery person I clearly don't know

[kurages]

[ Okay, this person doesn't seem too bad-- not too much like one of the stylish so far, but she could be wrong.. okay, Tsukimi, try to breathe, take it easy.. ]

A-- ah, yes, I'm fine! I'm sorry if I made any weird impression, this is all just very.. [ um.. ] .. new to me, that's it!

[kurages]

[ This person-- ... oh god, he might not exactly be one of the stylish (although he comes closer than she does), but.. WHAT'S THAT GLARING FOR? Cue her just trying to cower one way or another, even if she should probably.. at least answer.. maybe then he'll leave.. ]

I-I-.. I-I-I'm fiiiiine! [ wow, that didn't come out awkward and whimpery at all.. except it totally did. ]

[jusco]

Why can't you just pick one? [ Referring to the soups, that is. He just reaches out and grabs one, reading the label. ] Hm. This one looks pretty good. [ Tossing it into the basket! ]

[jusco]

What've you learned so far, then?

[ Best walk through this with her from step one. It's the best way to help right ]

[ridethelightning]

Yes, I thought that would be the case. This is the first time I've seen you here.

[firemaincannon]

Aaah, come on, we've been through worse right? The magical world, Comiket, it's got nothing on this freaky place.

[Just as well that death isn't permanent here~ She's going to be a good classmate and go take a seat right next to Chisame.]

Us guys have got to stick together anyway! It's not like anyone else would understand our ways.

[Manganime fans unite?]

[lovesung]

I usually don't really do something like this. To be entirely truthful, back at school I never thought it had much use.

But.. I want that to change.

[firemaincannon]

Yup, you've got your hands on a genuine Paru original!

[Tapping a finger onto the pen name written on the corner of the cover.]

Neat, yeah? I can do more than just that though, 'magical girls' is also a genre I dabble in now and then too.

[ridethelightning]

Well, it's never late for change. The Lord will always grant forgiveness upon those who return to Him.

you wound me madam

[firemaincannon]

Yeah, I suppose being sucked up and dumped somewhere else can be a pretty new experience for most people.

[Not her~ She's already ended up lost in another world once and she wasn't too fond of it happening again.]

The name's Haruna, Paru if you prefer. What's yours?

[lovesung]

[ There's a moment where she pauses, spinning on her heels to take a look at the church's interior as she talks on. ]

Is it truly that easy.. being granted forgiveness? Without even having to do anything?

/stabs you with a knife!!!

[kurages]

... Tsukimi. Tsukimi Kurashita, n-nice to meet you.. [ even if she's horrible with people she doesn't know. ]

But.. you said 'for most people'. For what kind of people wouldn't it be a new experience?

[ridethelightning]

Well, for Catholics, if the believer has committed a mortal sin, then he or she must seek forgiveness through the sacrament of Reconciliation. The priest acting as Christ's mediator in the confessional will absolve the believer of all of his or her sins in His name.

[sauna]

[Regardless of her choice in genres, he's impressed.]

Wow, you're a good artist! You made this all yourself?

[Finland eyes the inked pages as he flips through them. When he ends up at an intimate scene, his face flushes red again and he hurriedly turns the pages until it's back to the story.]

[lovesung]

... Just like the nuns at my old school.

That's exactly the part about it that I didn't like. The idea that all you did could suddenly be forgiven just by telling them about it.. It was nothing more than a joke that most girls abused to try and feel better about themselves even when they did bad things.

fjhgjdfg WHY?!

[firemaincannon]

Same here Kurashita. [Luckily Haruna is great with meeting new people. Or just being loud. Loudly meeting new people.]

Mages, wizards, magister magi, those sorts of people. The magical sort. Plus judging by the people here I wouldn't put it past some world hopping protag to show up.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She still ... cannot picture it very well. did they have such sports back in the Galaxy? ]

And the same rules apply to miniature golf I presume.

[firemaincannon]

[Smirk, nice reaction.]

Mm, every page, every speech bubble, every tirelessly inked in pupil. A short story like this is nothing to me!

[Yeah she's bragging a little, but even Haruna has to admit that she's pretty damn good at what she does.]

2/2

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She grins. It might be fun to try. After all, she doesn't have many opportunities like this this. ]

Lets try that then.
