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.

I don't care about what some strangers who're supposed to be my parents think. [She stretches, eyes looking up towards the sky.] If that's how it is, then I'm definitely not going here!
wanders: (What are you serious?)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? You're not interested in school?
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔PLEASANT〕❀ the great,great affection)

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-04-24 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. I've never really been the studious type of person.
wanders: (I won't eat that ham.)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
...well, it isn't as if I'm interested in going to school myself. [Not that he'd be able to make it daily.]

What would you do instead?
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔CALM〕❀ tell yourself)

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-04-24 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... Well, as for right now, I'd rather go explore this place! I've never been to a town like this, and it's good to get familiar with new surroundings and all.
wanders: (That's not what the house looks like!)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I have to admit, that's a good idea. This place looks completely new to me, and memorizing the streets and where the buildings are would be the smart thing to do.

[not that he ever would.]
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔CHEER〕❀ with a little bit of hope)

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-04-24 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly! As far as I'm concerned, that's a way better way to spend time than studying.
wanders: (in desperate need of an adult!)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-24 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you planning on creating a map?
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔PLEASANT〕❀ the great,great affection)

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-04-25 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno about that. I don't think I'd be any good at map-making or anything like that. Maybe they sell maps here? Oh, but then I'd need some money for this place...
wanders: (i found this ticket.)

[personal profile] wanders 2012-04-26 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
It would be wherever the shopping gate is. The only problem with that is finding the shopping gate.
lightspins: no she can't not at all please don't eat her food (〔HEE〕❀ you could be my love)

[personal profile] lightspins 2012-05-01 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Finding it, huh... Oh well, I don't mind doing a bit of walking to find it. I'm sure I'll find it eventually at least.
