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.

[ fandral has drawn accustomed to this strange little world, though this town itself is new to him-- a new adventure, a new thrill, though he wished he had his friends here to explore with him. it's loki himself who he expects last and he's visibly startled by him. mortals speak often of specters, ghosts and they had their own words for it too and if he didn't believe in the fact that it was not so easy to kill them, the aesir (and those above, the true gods), he may believe that it was indeed a ghost before him.

he's pale and gaunt, distressingly dirty-- scarred, what fandral can only assume was from his fall and though he knows his first reaction should be the cold rejection others would offer, he cannot. he pities him. he wants him to look anything but this: a walking vision of his descent.

Loki...

[ it's softer than he means to, expression open and honest, concerned, brows drawing, though he's cautious enough not to close the distance, to keep him safely out of hand (he may be a fool but he had self preservation all the same) ]

It was never your absence we celebrated, my friend. We mourned for you.

[ the candor and joy he felt but minutes before feels like a dream with the sadness weighing on his heart now, the inner conflict that grips his lungs and plants his feet right where they are, ]

Do you spite me so, Loki? To speak to me this way. Speak truly.
