test drive meme


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.

[ . . . ]

Of doors?

[HAH! She'll just smile at that!!]

Oh my, and when are you going to learn that everything you do is my business.

...As much as I hate to keep tabs on you, I'd rather talk to that Dumbo Decus than you.

[ She couldn't help but smile. Now she feels a little under-dressed in her short shorts and sleeveless shirt. ]

I am not too under-dressed to play miniature golf, am I?

[ excuses.

SIGHING. like ren's the most exasperating kid ever. god does he have to do everything here? ]


It's not within the price limit I was asked to keep to. You didn't even look closer. You probably just took the closest one to you without thinking. [ more sighing. ] Now go back and return it.

Not at all. You look just fine as is.
sleepily: (Picnic time for teddy bears;)

[personal profile] sleepily 2012-04-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, actually! My memory is just so terrible these days.
shortskirts: (huh。)

[ more glaring!!

really, what the heck is up -- oh wait, he's looking at his phone. and something about having pushed something. ]


. . . Pushed what? Let me see.

[ yup. demanding as usual. ]
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ asa made futari)

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[ She ran ahead to the lawn and waves to him. ]

Hurry up, Athrun! Or else I'll leave you behind!

[ he's not going to judge. she might be living in a place where there's no doors -- or where doors are automatic. ]

Even so, you may want to try to remember doors from now on then. It would be more convenient for you if you do.

[He's not exactly subtle either--not that Loki would expect him to be. And though his powers have been stifled to that of a Midgardian form, he still knows how to play games. Carefully he rises from where he is, slipping away from his position and never letting on that he's aware of Tony's gaze until--

Surprise, he's snuck around the crowd and right behind the other man, voice low and menacing in his ear.]


I'm told it's a rude custom to stare, Stark.

[Fine, fine. She must know more about these wacky cellphones than he does. He's tried working them out, but... well, it's safe to say he's royally messed it up this time. Actually, he hasn't, he's just in some weird menu he doesn't know how to get out of. Yep. He hands the phone over, rubbing the back of his neck.]
infinitejustice: (Having fun)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she thinks she can outrun him now? How cute. Time for the chase!]
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ just spinning around)

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, she's going to try anyway! She tries to run faster. There is no way she's going to be caught that easily. ]
infinitejustice: (Alert)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not hard for Athrun to figure out how fast he needs to go to gain ground on her and reach that speed. And he's not even running at full speed yet!]

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Unfortunately, she was only human and does slows down. Only because she sees some kids with their bikes. She stops and talks to them ...

... by the time Athrun will reach her, she would have already rented their bikes. ]


I hope you have money with you, Athrun.

[ Look, Athrun. Two kids, looking up at you expecting payment. ]
infinitejustice: (Meyrin what the HELL)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Cue blank stare.]

What.
shy_flier: (Did I hear that right?)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-24 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
It... makes... bones stronger?

[ Science more like MAGIC. ]

[ if he's startled (which he is, hello heart rate) it doesn't show. he just pushes the tip of a french fry around in some ketchup, not bothering to acknowledge him openly. ]

I'm sure you know all about it.
goddamnironman: (pic#1228290)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-24 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, they have bagged food in the frozen aisle. Have you never shopped for groceries before or something?

[ he's half joking (he's only barely aware of what to do himself lbr) but the glance is inquiring enough. ]
goddamnironman: (pic#1228239)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone gets one, man.

[ he thinks. ]

You should probably find yours.
jusco: (you are all my precious ladies ♥)

[personal profile] jusco 2012-04-24 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Strict as always. [ SIGH. ] Why can't you do it yourself?
heirjirikawa: (IT'S HEALTHY TO DITCH CLASS)

[personal profile] heirjirikawa 2012-04-24 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Not until recently, no. Even back at school, it wasn't necessary.

[ he's serious though. ]
heirjirikawa: (YOU'RE OVERESTIMATING MY SELF-CONTROL)

[personal profile] heirjirikawa 2012-04-24 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm preoccupied myself. What's wrong with being useful for once?

[ stop sighing. he's the only one who can sigh here. ]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔FLAT〕✿ god won't save you)

walpurgis night...!

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-04-24 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I get it. Not only do you continue to talk in that creepy babyish way, you do everything you can to be creepy in general. I guess you do have an image to maintain.

Then why don't you go looking for him instead? We'd both be better off.
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔GEH〕✿ without hope)
