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.

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.

... N-no, I should be sorry... uh...

[She fidgets and looks away.]

I didn't s-see you coming, that's all.

There's no reason to apologize! Don't worry about it, okay?
burntviolet: (Goodbye means nothing at all)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-04-24 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay...

... My n-name is Ikezawa Hanako...

It's nice to meet you too!

[She lets out a small chuckle]

Oh, haha, I already said that, didn't I? Uh anyway, if you need anything around here, just let me know? I'm sure if we all work together we can figure all of this out.
burntviolet: (You don't listen to me anymore)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-04-26 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I guess y-you're right... I can't d-do this alone...

[Gloomy mode is a go.]
