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.

[ he feels insulted by that question, haruna.

but to answer her unspoken question, it's probably bl, considering he just grabbed a volume and opened it without looking at the cover or pages.

still, have a flat stare as he closes the manga with a snap and returns it on the shelf. ]


I'm looking for something else.

[Oh. Oh oh oh. Well if that's what he just so happened to pick up~]

You want more? I can whip up something much worse if you're interested in a commission~!

[Buuut on the off chance he might be after some proper reading material and not some graphic doujin...]

Maybe you should tell me what exactly you're looking for.

[personal profile] heirjirikawa 2012-04-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
More?

[ he's confused and a bit wary because lmfao that expression is giving him all the weird vibes!!

totally not trusting her that she could find the books he's looking for. for now, at least. ]


More of what?
firemaincannon: <user name="patch_robots"> (♠With my blue pupil)

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-23 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I said, more.

[Aw come on, who wouldn't trust this face? Just ignore how terrifying that grin is and she's totally innocent! I.N.N.O.C.E.N.T!

Taking a pen that was resting behind her ear, Haruna taps on the book that was recently put back.]


That. I normally reserve the hardcore stuff for Comiket, but seeing as this place doesn't have any sort of convention maybe you'd be interested in it.

[ everything she's saying

is just passing over his head like alien language.

comiket? convention? hardcore? yeah no he'll just staaaaare at -- wait, was she referring to the volume he just replaced? ]


If you have anything that's not -- [ waving at the lot in front of him. he means manga in general, yeah. ] -- this, I'd like to take a look at it.

['Not this'? Either this guy is a first time buyer of these sorts of books or he wants the straight stuff and he's asking for it really awkwardly.

Better get some clarification here.]


I have plenty of stuff that isn't that. Question is are you looking for guy on girl, a different genre altogether or a 'proper book'? We have everything you could ever want here.
heirjirikawa: (YOU'RE WOUNDING MY EGO)

[personal profile] heirjirikawa 2012-04-24 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What -- No! Neither of those.

[ yeah no he's just going =A= now over this. ]

Don't you have normal books to read?

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-24 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Aah, so you did mean a proper book.

[Oh well, she'll happily lead him to the right section if he follows along.]

We do, just over here in fact! We just got some new stock in so take a good look around, pretty sure I noticed some Dickens last time I checked. And some of D.W. Jones work too.
heirjirikawa: (I HEAR VOICES IN MY MIND)

[personal profile] heirjirikawa 2012-04-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ and he'll follow at a safe distance. but wow why are all of the books pushed far in the back while everything else is at the front of the bookstore?

masato doesn't ask. he doesn't want to know. ]


I have a reading list needed for school as well.

[Hey, it's her book store, if she wants to flaunt all her new releases and overshadow the classics for a few days then she'll do it!

Plus she's so weird no one seems to be telling her not to do that and she's getting away with it.]


Sure, are you in high school? We have all the schools fully covered so there are plenty of textbooks around. [...] Heeey, we might even be classmates!

[ hopefully she at least removed them from the boxes. ]

I've only recently -- [ got dumped here. ] -- arrived so I wouldn't know.

[Of course she did! ... And then promptly shoved them onto some shelf at the back of the store. On the plus side at least she didn't put anything 18+ in front of them?]

That's why I said 'might'! Even so we'll probably see each other around school. [Finding a biology textbook she picks it up to cover her mouth as she tries whispering to Masato.] Honestly? I've seen ten year olds that teach better than the guys there. [No, really.]
