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.

[ Sheryl had never been very good at staying home and doing nothing. Especially not on a day like this. She refuses to stay at home ...

... even if Athrun is busy working on his car. While Athrun was distracted, she presses the button to the car's horn to get his attention.

Guess who wants to go on a date. ]

hi darlin c: 1/2.

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
That... would be better than what's going on now.

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! I don't know what that is but that sure sounds fancy.

Oh yeah, I'm Aoi Asahina. It's nice to meetcha!

Someone who sings about great heroes and legends.

My name is Eater, the pleasure is mine.
goddamnironman: (pic#3210194)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Who is this?

[ even though the phone says who it is but whatever ]
harpbeat: (♂ Annoyed)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
row 5, seat 3.
or the name is eater
whichever is more relevant

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really think I'm a hero... just unlucky. We all were, really.

I'll do my best to remember that name. [Don't mind her she'll just start writing the name Eater on the back of her hand. SUPER DILIGENT.]
harpbeat: (♀ Cute)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Many people who think they aren't heroes become them in times of adversity.

[ slowly opens his window...

watches what feels like an awkward lifetime...

clears his throat.

Listen, if you're going to pee in my flower bed, avoid the uh, purple ones.
surefeelsbad: (you're trapped in ice?)

[personal profile] surefeelsbad 2012-04-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's not what I-- [Great. One day in, and she already has people calling her nice.

...well. Not a bad start. Let's see what she can do with this.]
Sure, okay. What do you need? Directions?
donuts5ever: (pic#3152091)

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm looking for someone! Have you seen a bear around here?
infinitejustice: (Eh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[Athrun looks up from the engine.]

Yes, what is it?
donuts5ever: (Default)

1/2

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe everyone else but I tend to just get sad... I'm kind of scatterbrained so I never find anything during the investigations. I'm only really good for guarding the bodies to make sure the murderer doesn't come back to ruin the evidence.
ridethelightning: (Huh?)

[personal profile] ridethelightning 2012-04-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
...Pardon me? Which part of that are you referring to?
goddamnironman: (pic#3210201)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ what is it with people creeping around peoples yards-- at least it's his neighbors this time. ]

Hey.

[ it's yelled behind a closed window whoops. he opens it, leans out a little, tries again, gesturing vaguely at the vehicle she seems to be investigating. ]

Don't you already have a car?

[personal profile] micake 2012-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yayooooi!!

[ barreling into her... ]
donuts5ever: (pic#3152091)

2/2

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm good at something, though! And Naegi usually pulls through... yeah, I've gotta hang in there!

Oops, I went off... oh wait, you like stories! See what I mean about being scatterbrained?

[personal profile] micake 2012-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm looking for a scoop.

[ as if this is normal... ]
infinitejustice: (Gasp!)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
WHAT THE--

[And the wheel-equipped board he was laying on comes flying out from under the car.]

Sheryl! Don't DO that when I'm under the car!
shy_flier: (Unhappy)

I've been meaning to app her somewhere for ages

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, hey, girl. She backs away a step, looking nervous and a little lost. ]

Um, well... yes, wherever here is.
harpbeat: (♀)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
All of it.

[ he hesitates, glances around except he really can't discern what is where right now and just turns back around to type slower, as if that made his response less awkward. ]

Eater.

Real or Fake?
harpbeat: (♀ Cute)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I'm terribly inexperienced with these cars, and you seem to be quite knowledgeable and capable with them.

[personal profile] micake 2012-04-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
You can't restrict a journalist like that!
shy_flier: (Stop embarrassing me)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Eh?

[ Florina had just jumped about a foot through the air to avoid brushing against a guy who didn't even know she was there, clearly that looked pretty weird. ]

Yes, it's... not a problem really.
