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.

'Dear my darling sweet heart, I cannot contain my feelings for you any longer...' [Just gonna keep winding him up, heheh.]

If it doesn't work then it doesn't work, sadly. Honestly I wouldn't get your hopes up, considering it seems like we're all isolated off here from anywhere else.

That's not it! It's just a simple letter to tell her about my travels! [that certainly wasn't on the first draft, hahaha...]

...I'll give it a try. However, if I find my letter missing...
wanders: (in desperate need of an adult!)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you planning on creating a map?
infinitejustice: (Shouting)

[It doesn't take long to figure out how the gears work. Athrun shifts the bike into the highest gear and pumps those legs. He's gaining fast!]
firemaincannon: <user name="patch_robots"> (♠I will still give more and more)

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-24 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
'During my travels I found someone better. I'm sorry, I will love you forever as a friend.' Sounds like a happy end, for you anyway. [From a love letter, to a confession and now a breaking up letter. At least have the decency to dump whoever this girl is over the phone Ryoga, gosh!]

... You can assume it worked? [...] Or the idea totally backfired and the mailbox ate your letter. Pretty sure your letter won't go anywhere if it can't be sent though so no worries about losing it.
wanders: (there's a joke about porn in here)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Impossible! I could never find someone better! [NO RYOGA You just ruined it.]

I don't know anything about this place, so I don't know if the mailman would take a letter like that and keep it or throw it away!
[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small[that's>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I don't know anything about this place, so I don't know if the mailman would take a letter like that and keep it or throw it away! <small[That's dumb.]</small> That's right. I can't worry about something like this!

[ Sheryl slows down a bit and waited for him to catch up. She thinks that she's probably tortured the guy enough for one morning ...

... that, and the fact she couldn't help but to slow down and take pictures of the quaint little scenery.

Not just the sky. The cat stuck in a tree ... the birds perched on the phone wires. ]


Had life on Earth ... been like this back home I wonder?
infinitejustice: (Eh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take long for him to catch up. He shifts the gears down.]

Like this? Not quite in my time, but...pretty similar. The suburbs are pretty much always nice.

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We didn't have this in the Galaxy ... or the Frontier.

[ She turns and takes a stolen picture of Athrun. ]

Though I think I really am a city girl at heart ... it is nice ... and in its own way ... quite pretty.
infinitejustice: (Eh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Athrun is momentarily dazed by the sudden picture, even if it is daytime and there was no flash.]

...Yeah. I know what you mean. I've lived in both areas, so I know the charms of each environment well. Cities have their own beauty, if you look at them the right way...and with less densely-populated areas, it's hard to not be at awe among all the greenery.
firemaincannon: <user name="patch_robots"> (♠I feel so happy~)

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-24 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so~? [You shouldn't have said that.] I thought I smelt the whiff of love. So have you really told her how you feel or are you just bottling up all that lovin' up for later? [This is the perfect conversation to be having with someone you pass by on the street.]

Pretty sure if a mail man held onto any letter then it would be against the law, tampering with the post and all. [But who cares about that.] You can't worry about that when you need to be worrying about your girl!
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ motto fukaku kakawatte yo)

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
We're almost at the gate ...

[ She tucks her cell phone back between her breasts. Yes. She seriously keeps things there. And grinned to him. ]

Well, we did something I wanted ... now its your turn. What do you want to do?
burntviolet: (Singing herself to sleep)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-04-24 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whoops that makes her startle slightly, coiling back.]

... Hello...
infinitejustice: (Default)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, I have an idea. When we reach the gate, we leave the bikes and we walk through the district arm-in-arm. Then we can look for whatever piques our interest while doing that.
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ saikou datte wakaru desho)

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Arm-in-arm? Are you sure you are not using that as an excuse to get close to me?
donuts5ever: (pic#3152089)

i have no idea who you are but i like you

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-24 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too slow! Asahina runs behind the house after seeing a bit of her pigtail.]

Yo, Fukawa-chan! You're here too? Have you seen anyone else? Why did you run from me? Is that what you were doing? I'm looking for Monobear! You'll help, right?

[Poor Touko...]
donuts5ever: (pic#3152089)

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-24 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you're open minded! It's important that we catch this guy as soon as possible!

Oh, erm, I'm Aoi Asahina. It's nice to meetcha!
donuts5ever: (pic#3152092)

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You know... other bears?

[CONFUSION SETS IN.]
donuts5ever: (Default)

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-24 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

[Asahina scoots to the other end of the bench. She might be a bit over the top but she's not here to make anyone uncomfortable.]

People always tell me I'm too loud. I guess it's kinda true.
infinitejustice: (Default)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2012-04-24 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Would it be a problem if I was?
burntviolet: (I'm waiting here for my prince to come)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-04-24 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... N-no, I should be sorry... uh...

[She fidgets and looks away.]

I didn't s-see you coming, that's all.
dissociates: (character.)

same here 8)

[personal profile] dissociates 2012-04-24 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ drat. The other girl's way too cheery. Maybe it's better to act like she's not curious about this place at all... ]

A-Ah... so it's you.

[ but wait — ]
dissociates: (suspense.)

[personal profile] dissociates 2012-04-24 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? Monobear...?

[ SO MUCH FOR THAT ]

Do... do you really think he's responsible for this?

[ it's not like she hasn't considered it... but all of this had looked so typical, so normal that Touko could half-believe she had somehow escaped from that school. ]
kurages: (just to be quiet with you)

OMG I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!! ;;;; AAAAH

[personal profile] kurages 2012-04-24 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Apparently the freezing thing really isn't helping, huh.. she tries it for a few moments, but then she speaks up - very softly, though. ]

I-.. I-I'm fine..!
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ it's all about communication)

1/2

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-24 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Suddenly very embarrassed. Teasing backfires. ]

Huh? I ... no ... but ...
