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.

I've been meaning to app her somewhere for ages

[ Oh, hey, girl. She backs away a step, looking nervous and a little lost. ]

Um, well... yes, wherever here is.

It's home sweet home, or at least it's supposed to be, which is kinda creepy.
shy_flier: (Did I hear that right?)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-23 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ She thinks about that for a moment. ]

But... I... already have a home.
harpbeat: (♂ Annoyed)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hence the creepy. I'm a traveling type of guy, but I don't really like being kidnapped.
shy_flier: (Stop embarrassing me)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
We've been... kidnapped? But I can't...

W-wait, what about my Pegasus? What do you think happened to him?

[ Give her a few minutes to process 'guy'. ]
harpbeat: (♂)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno, maybe he's safe at home and somebody's taking care of him.
shy_flier: (Unhappy)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-23 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
But I... I can't be separated... h-he'll be scared and without me... er, without him... I'll worry about h-him...

[ She looks like she's on the brink of crying. ]
harpbeat: (♂)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-23 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey. Hey. Don't cry. It'll be alright.

[Awkward pat on the shoulder?]
shy_flier: (Tears)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Florina's stiff for a moment, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Don't cry... be strong... she doesn't need protected all the time...

She calms down after that, looking back up. ]


Th-thank you, um...

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-25 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
My name's Eater. What's yours?
shy_flier: (Kitty)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-25 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Eater. Well apparently her sister's name is a kind of flour or something so don't judge, don't judge... ]

F-Florina. It's nice to meet you.
harpbeat: (♂ Hairflip)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-04-26 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too. Can I walk you home?
shy_flier: (Default)

[personal profile] shy_flier 2012-04-26 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You really don't need to... I need to learn how to get around on my own anyways.
harpbeat: (♂)

[personal profile] harpbeat 2012-05-01 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll just get going.
