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.

And a pool to boot!

[Sure beats living in the dorms at school. But there's that vague feeling of eeriness about the whole place.]

There's more to Japanese culture than just that. Flower arranging, calligraphy, kabuki theater, shrine visits, they're all important too! [...] But Comiket is a pretty huge part of the culture, yeah.

[So she might be the tiniest bit biased.]

[firemaincannon]

[Hey, it's her book store, if she wants to flaunt all her new releases and overshadow the classics for a few days then she'll do it!

Plus she's so weird no one seems to be telling her not to do that and she's getting away with it.]

Sure, are you in high school? We have all the schools fully covered so there are plenty of textbooks around. [...] Heeey, we might even be classmates!

[firemaincannon]

... That you can have all the real literature you find?

[Yup, exactly what she said. All the literature.]

But there's one catch. You have to work here and we have to be co-workers. At least three-- No, four times a week, not counting weekends.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She shakes her head a bit. ] As an adult, that was still very wrong of me to do. I should have tried to understand the situation before I interfered.

But you are right ... and it doesn't look like there is much we can do now. What we can do is report this incident to prevent this from happening again ...

... what is your name by the way?

THIS MANGA!

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Ice Queen meets Queen Bee.

Sheryl is a little lost because she isn't very familiar with the school yet. She hates having to admit that she was lost but she had no choice.

She steps in front of Yukina and taps her shoulder to get her attention. ]

You. Is your next class [ Insert subject here ]?

[lovesung]

... Maria Kawai. [ she nods her head, as a greeting of sorts. ]

But.. this can't fully be prevented from happening again. As long as there are stores, surely there will be people who steal from them too.

[phoning]

Not necessarily.

[She'll take a step back though, feeling slightly uncomfortable about her personal space.]

I have, however, been going to school.

more people who know it! \o/

[phoning]

Why are you asking?

[She'll give her usual cold glare, putting her phone back in her pocket.]

[jusco]

Didn't you want melon bread?

[ So he picked some for you. ]

4?!

[waltzhagen]

[ Haine is always concerned about the well-being of fellow students. She doesn't recognize her, though, so she approaches with caution. ]

Are you alright? You look so tense!

[shy_flier]

...It's Florina, but... could you... not... credit me? Please?

[ Paru? Is that some kind of nickname or what? ]

[harpbeat]

Nice to meet you too. Can I walk you home?

[harpbeat]

It is my most sincere pleasure, Athrun~

[shy_flier]

You really don't need to... I need to learn how to get around on my own anyways.

[the_galaxyfairy]

Sheryl Nome. [ Nods back. ]

That is true, but that doesn't mean we should leave things as it is. Even if the security is horrible here. The thought of that woman getting away again just irks me.

[the_galaxyfairy]

I am looking for it.

[ Returning the cold glare. She is not used to being glared at. ]

[wanders]

No no no! It's... er, well... [THIS IS REALLY EMBARRASSING.]

4!!

[dissociates]

[ after the Academy, just being in a school again makes her feel sick to her stomach... ]

It... It's nothing. I-Is there something that you want...?

[firemaincannon]

Relax I won't use your real name. Let's see, Rina sounds like a good pen name huh? Or Rini, that's pretty cute! Or just 'Flo' but that gives me 'housewife' vibes.

[Seems as though she missed the part about not crediting her.]

I think I'll stick with Rini, that's way too cute to pass up.

[firemaincannon]

Come ooon, you can tell ol' Paru here. What's the problem? [Leaning in and flashing Ryoga a genuine smile. She's really interested!]

[firemaincannon]

So you're not a shut in, you go to school and yet I haven't seen you. I've gotta say, you've got a knack for working up a mystery persona.

[What is personal space anyway. Haruna stops and stays where she is for now, if the girl wants her space then she doesn't want to scare her off.]

How about a name to go with the mystery girl thing you have going on?

[wanders]

--she has a jerk for a fiancee. That's the issue.

[firemaincannon]

Ah... Haah. [Welp. If that's the case there's not much else to do.] Well you could always try and win her heart anyway but that might be like a dog barking up the wrong tree.

[...]

Unless you beat up the jerk and stole the girl away in a whirlwind of rage and love!? It's cliche cutting off a character like that for another ship but that story sounds pretty good in my head!

[wanders]

That's what I'm attempting to do! [It's almost as if he didn't hear anything about it being a cliche or anything.] I'm certain that if I can defeat him, then, and only then, she'll see me for the true man that I am!

...[even though he sounded confident about that, oh, right. "true man". he just made himself sad.]

[firemaincannon]

You just made some rousing speech like that and then you start looking all down. Must be some pretty harsh backstory behind all this. Tell ya' what, how about a little motivation?

[Haruna takes out a pen and her sketchbook and quickly flips to a clean page.]

Describe her with as much detail as you can manage. Go.
