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.

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. ]

[infinitejustice]

[It's not hard for Athrun to figure out how fast he needs to go to gain ground on her and reach that speed. And he's not even running at full speed yet!]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Unfortunately, she was only human and does slows down. Only because she sees some kids with their bikes. She stops and talks to them ...

... by the time Athrun will reach her, she would have already rented their bikes. ]

I hope you have money with you, Athrun.

[ Look, Athrun. Two kids, looking up at you expecting payment. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Cue blank stare.]

What.

[the_galaxyfairy]

The kids are lending us their bikes.

[ Getting on one. ] For a price of course. We'll get to the gate faster this way, don't you think?

[infinitejustice]

[See icon.]

For how much?

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ The younger kid whispers the price to Athrun. What Sheryl promised was certainly too much for renting two bikes for one afternoon.

Before he could comment, she was off and thrilled to feel the wind in her hair and the rush of adrenaline. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Welp. His hands were tied. Athrun reluctantly handed over the money, then got on the other bike and sped after Sheryl. He'd have to have words with her later.]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ She is really enjoying herself/ She hadn't really ridden on a bike since her first album took off. ]

Come on, Athrun!

[infinitejustice]

[It doesn't take long to figure out how the gears work. Athrun shifts the bike into the highest gear and pumps those legs. He's gaining fast!]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Sheryl slows down a bit and waited for him to catch up. She thinks that she's probably tortured the guy enough for one morning ...

... that, and the fact she couldn't help but to slow down and take pictures of the quaint little scenery.

Not just the sky. The cat stuck in a tree ... the birds perched on the phone wires. ]

Had life on Earth ... been like this back home I wonder?
