test drive meme

[lessor]

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.

Well, it's just...restaurants and things like miniature golf courses, right? That's the impression I got.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Curious look. ]

Miniature golf courses?

[infinitejustice]

...You've never heard of miniature golf?

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Frowns. It's not like she can help it. She lived in a space ship before. ]

I wouldn't ask if I did ...

[infinitejustice]

[Well, hey, he grew up in a space colony and in a lunar prep school.]

Well, let me start by asking you if you're familiar with the sport of golf.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ A space ship that didn't have a lot of organic matter. Or any at all. No grass or trees. So probably no golf. She would be much too focused on her career to care much about it anyway. ]

Hnmm ... I can't say that I am.

[infinitejustice]

...All right. Golf is a game that's played on a course of eighteen holes. The objective is, while using a type of equipment called a club, to hit the ball into the hole in as few hits as possible. Those are the bare basics of it, anyway.

1/2

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She still ... cannot picture it very well. did they have such sports back in the Galaxy? ]

And the same rules apply to miniature golf I presume.

2/2

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She grins. It might be fun to try. After all, she doesn't have many opportunities like this this. ]

Lets try that then.

[infinitejustice]

Well...almost. Miniature golf focuses on one aspect of golf -- that being putting, or using a club to gently hit the ball into the hole once you can measure the distance in less than 100 feet. Each hole also has obstacles or tricks you have to work with to get the ball in the hole.

So, if that still sounds interesting to you...

[the_galaxyfairy]

Actually, it doesn't but ... there is nothing I wouldn't like to try at least once. I rarely had a lot of opportunities for freedom back home but ...

[ She touches his cheek and then winks. ]

... I'll be fair. How about after doing something I want, we can do something you want ...

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun would reach up to put his hand over hers, but it's currently covered in oil and grease.]

I...suppose I'll have to think of something, then.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Pouting because she is not used to being told no. Especially after she was trying too be so nice. Well ... Nice in her definition. ]

Fine, then! I'll go have fun by myself!

[ She stands up and was now going to go inside the house. She was determined to go with or without him, but she was upset. ]</ small>

[infinitejustice]

Wha--hey! Wait a second, I didn't mean that to sound like a "no!"

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She isn't turning around and arms still crossed. ]

Is that a "yes" then?

[infinitejustice]

...Yes. I'm sure I can think of something that I want to do.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She finally turns around and was now smiling and looking quite pleased. ]

I'll give you thirty minutes to get ready.

[ Yes, she wants to go now.

Smiling softly. ]

Thank you, Athrun.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun makes his best effort to smile back. That would mean he'd have to clean himself up and change his clothes in one hell of a hurry...but if it meant spending time with a happy Sheryl, it was worth it.]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She was already waiting for him outside on the porch and staring at the sky. Sheryl did that quite often because it didn't seem real to her yet. ]

Are you ready yet?

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun emerged onto the porch sporting a clean set of clothes and a hint of the scent of soap.]

Okay, I'm ready.

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She couldn't help but smile. Now she feels a little under-dressed in her short shorts and sleeveless shirt. ]

I am not too under-dressed to play miniature golf, am I?

[infinitejustice]

Not at all. You look just fine as is.

[the_galaxyfairy]

Good.

[ She ran ahead to the lawn and waves to him. ]

Hurry up, Athrun! Or else I'll leave you behind!

[infinitejustice]

[Oh, she thinks she can outrun him now? How cute. Time for the chase!]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Well, she's going to try anyway! She tries to run faster. There is no way she's going to be caught that easily. ]
