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.

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?

[infinitejustice]

[It doesn't take long for him to catch up. He shifts the gears down.]

Like this? Not quite in my time, but...pretty similar. The suburbs are pretty much always nice.

[the_galaxyfairy]

We didn't have this in the Galaxy ... or the Frontier.

[ She turns and takes a stolen picture of Athrun. ]

Though I think I really am a city girl at heart ... it is nice ... and in its own way ... quite pretty.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun is momentarily dazed by the sudden picture, even if it is daytime and there was no flash.]

...Yeah. I know what you mean. I've lived in both areas, so I know the charms of each environment well. Cities have their own beauty, if you look at them the right way...and with less densely-populated areas, it's hard to not be at awe among all the greenery.

[the_galaxyfairy]

We're almost at the gate ...

[ She tucks her cell phone back between her breasts. Yes. She seriously keeps things there. And grinned to him. ]

Well, we did something I wanted ... now its your turn. What do you want to do?

[infinitejustice]

All right, I have an idea. When we reach the gate, we leave the bikes and we walk through the district arm-in-arm. Then we can look for whatever piques our interest while doing that.

[the_galaxyfairy]

Arm-in-arm? Are you sure you are not using that as an excuse to get close to me?

[infinitejustice]

Would it be a problem if I was?

1/2

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Suddenly very embarrassed. Teasing backfires. ]

Huh? I ... no ... but ...

2/2

[the_galaxyfairy]

... you're not supposed to tease me back.

[infinitejustice]

Tease? Who said anything about teasing?

[Yep, he's being serious.]

[the_galaxyfairy]

[ Sometimes teasing Athrun could silence her. Because she could sense he is serious.

Keeping her head up and linked her arm in his. ]

Forget it ... lets just go.
