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.

Oh, sorry! Don't worry, I wasn't planning on stealing this or anything!

[Slooowly backing away from the car and coming to the window. People are way more helpful than cars anyway!]

I'm looking for the mastermind! Have you seen a strange bear around here?

[ uh-huh. he watches her approach suspiciously (listen he apparently has nothing better to do than yell at people out his window, tough married life) but seems at ease once she's finally there. not a care in the world, this happens all the time. yep.

carefully,
]

Let me ask an important question first: Are we talking about a real bear?

Actually, he's more like a cartoon bear. He seems harmless at first, but he's a criminal!

[ a patient pause. ]

Let me rephrase.

Is this all in your head?

I know it sounds crazy but I'm not making this up. To be honest, I kind of doubt my ability to make up something this elaborate...

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-23 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ flatly, ]

Yeah. Cartoon Bear. You're the next Tolken.

When I meant elaborate I meant the stuff about kidnapping kids and forcing them to kill each other, you big jerk.

But I guess this means you haven't seen him... damn, where could he have gone?

You should try the neighbor's garage. I hear weird stuff going on in there.

[ heheheheheh ]

[personal profile] donuts5ever 2012-04-23 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's probably him! I'll sneak up on him, he'll never see it coming.

[Congratulations Tony Stark, you just got a kid to break into someone's garage. A great achievement for this glorious day, I'm sure.]
