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.

shortskirts: (urk -- 。)

1/2

Hey -- !

[ the can missed her by an inch but that's only because she managed to dodge it despite being stuck on the lawn. ]
shortskirts: (scream #92749。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Why, you little, good-for-nothing man!

[ yeah, she's kind of a manhater.

and she was trained in a facility somewhere to execute people for the government. so yeah, she's grabbing that beer can you just threw and hurling it back towards the window. ]


Stop littering!
goddamnironman: (Default)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-24 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I can litter on my own lawn if I want to.

That's-- hey.

[ it's honestly just luck he managed to avoid getting totally pegged, the can bouncing off his shoulder. goddamn. ]

What's your problem?
shortskirts: (captain nagger。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
What's your problem?

[ good thing there's nothing else she can throw. so she'll just yell. ]

Or is it just your habit to throw your trash at people passing by?
goddamnironman: (pic#1228159)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-24 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
People on my property, yeah.

[ well. at least it's a good view. he squints. ]

I think you dropped something.
shortskirts: (aspirin munching。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Then keep your property off of people.

[ a.k.a. she's still STUCK and no amount of tugging with that soil is helping. ]

-- What -- [ looking around. ] -- No, I didn't!
goddamnironman: (pic#1228177)

[personal profile] goddamnironman 2012-04-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in the grass-- don't you see it?

[ he indicates vaguely at nothing in particular because there is nothing he just... is a dirty old man. whoops. hope she isn't underaged HA HA HA................ ]

It's shining, just there.
shortskirts: (hold up。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ the only underaged here is her personality. which is that of a five-year-old. ]

. . . I'm not going to fall for that, old man! I didn't even go near that spot.

-- Old?

[ excuse u. ]
shortskirts: (a force of nature。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ rood she's only 21. ]

You heard me. Old.

One, I don't have a single grey hair-- Two, at least I don't get myself stuck in lawns.
shortskirts: (my face your explanation。)

[personal profile] shortskirts 2012-04-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
What --

[ low blow, man.

give her a few minutes aaaaand voila! she managed to tug her stiletto heel from your lawn, tony stark.

except she also managed to pull out like several inches of soil around it. so there's now a gaping hole there -- while there's soil all over your pavement/walkway/whatever. ]


See? There! It's not my fault your lawn is so poorly maintained.
