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.

[Asahina is literally inspecting everything. She doesn't trust this place and totally expects Monobear to pop out at any moment so she's gonna find him first!]

[harpbeat]

...I don't believe there to be anything in my yard worthy of note.

[donuts5ever]

Oh, sorry! He kind of pops up at random so I keep on hoping that I'll do something that he feels the need to comment on.

Ugh, just thinking about it makes me want to puke. I really hate that guy!

[harpbeat]

I'm afraid I don't know who you refer to.

[donuts5ever]

It's this guy that I know. I'm sure he's responsible for all of this, I just know it!

Have you seen a bear? Not like a real bear, more like a stuffed animal. Black on one side, White on the other, and red eyes. He's always got that stupid theme music when he pops up too so he's impossible to miss.

[harpbeat]

No, I'm afraid I don't know any animated stuffed animals of any sort.

[surefeelsbad]

[Look Asahina, it's bad enough that Heloise doesn't have any guns or anything from home. So now she has to confront this girl without them? Ugh. She's stepping out onto the yard, disdain clear on her face.]

Can I help you? [translation: can I help you OFF of my lawn?]

[donuts5ever]

Wow, I'm glad people here are so nice! Yes, you can!

[GJ HELOISE an Asahina is now approaching.]

[surefeelsbad]

That's not what I-- [Great. One day in, and she already has people calling her nice.

...well. Not a bad start. Let's see what she can do with this.] Sure, okay. What do you need? Directions?

[donuts5ever]

I'm looking for someone! Have you seen a bear around here?

[surefeelsbad]

...you're... looking for a bear.

[goddamnironman]

[ what is it with people creeping around peoples yards-- at least it's his neighbors this time. ]

Hey.

[ it's yelled behind a closed window whoops. he opens it, leans out a little, tries again, gesturing vaguely at the vehicle she seems to be investigating. ]

Don't you already have a car?

[donuts5ever]

Oh, sorry! Don't worry, I wasn't planning on stealing this or anything!

[Slooowly backing away from the car and coming to the window. People are way more helpful than cars anyway!]

I'm looking for the mastermind! Have you seen a strange bear around here?

[goddamnironman]

[ uh-huh. he watches her approach suspiciously (listen he apparently has nothing better to do than yell at people out his window, tough married life) but seems at ease once she's finally there. not a care in the world, this happens all the time. yep.

carefully, ]

Let me ask an important question first: Are we talking about a real bear?

[donuts5ever]

Actually, he's more like a cartoon bear. He seems harmless at first, but he's a criminal!

[goddamnironman]

[ a patient pause. ]

Let me rephrase.

Is this all in your head?

[jusco]

Hey. Are you alright?

[ This lady sure looks distressed. Can't turn a blind eye to that!! ]

[donuts5ever]

I could definitely be better! But I'll persevere!

[Whoever she is, she's got guts!]

I'm looking for someone who I think might be behind all of this.

oh oops i totally didn't just misread that or anything

[jusco]

Already, huh? [ On top of things, that's not a bad thing! ]

I'll help you out. You got any ideas?

it's cool!

[donuts5ever]

Yeah! The cuplrit is a cartoon-like bear named monobear. He's even got his own theme song that pops up when he appears! I know it sounds crazy but have you see anyone like that?

[dissociates]

[ oh god it's the swimming idiot and she's coming closer...!! Why is she even here? What happened to the Academy?

Touko ducks behind the corner of a house and shrinks against the wall. Hopefully, Asahina didn't see her... ]

i have no idea who you are but i like you

[donuts5ever]

[Too slow! Asahina runs behind the house after seeing a bit of her pigtail.]

Yo, Fukawa-chan! You're here too? Have you seen anyone else? Why did you run from me? Is that what you were doing? I'm looking for Monobear! You'll help, right?

[Poor Touko...]

same here 8)

[dissociates]

[ drat. The other girl's way too cheery. Maybe it's better to act like she's not curious about this place at all... ]

A-Ah... so it's you.

[ but wait — ]

[dissociates]

Eh? Monobear...?

[ SO MUCH FOR THAT ]

Do... do you really think he's responsible for this?

[ it's not like she hasn't considered it... but all of this had looked so typical, so normal that Touko could half-believe she had somehow escaped from that school. ]

[donuts5ever]

That's what I've been assuming! I don't think he'd let us get away that easily, you know?

[Come on Fukawa-chan, endure!]

I think if we look together we can find him for sure!
