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.

[ she does see! you can't trick her! ]

What's with this friendly act... as if you care anything about books... a display like this is a disgrace to real literature! These should be in a proper bookstore or library, instead of being suffocated in backrooms and on shelves heaped with garbage...!

Act? Who are you, Chisame if she adored literature? Man oh man.

[Welp whether she thinks it's an act or not Haruna will just keep on being friendly!]

Ahaha, I bet you've never even tried reading one of these huh? [Motioning to some of the manga on display.] You might like 'em if you gave one a try, but no matter! I'm actually used to working in a library so I know how to properly arrange things, but can ya blame a girl for wanting to give her newest releases a little head start into the world?

[With that she steps forward and clasps her hands together.]

Tell you what, you can have all the 'real literature' you find here.

[ she was about to say that she has read manga before, that it's nothing more than low-life pornography not worth the paper they're printed on... or maybe she was about to accuse this other girl of doing exactly that, with her "newest releases" that no one in their right mind would buy...

but then the sudden offer visibly surprises her! ]


E... Eh? What do you mean by that...?

... 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.
