{The Road Trip Meme!!}

It's that time of the year again! You decided to take a road trip!
Either to your friends, relative, or perhaps an event,
but oh, my goodness, what will happen along the way?
• Post with your character name/fandom/options preferences.
• Use RNG to pick your possible scenario - or just go with what you'd like most.
• Reply to other people's tags. Use RNG, mix and match, or just wing it!
• Enjoy!

Situations:

1. BREAK DOWN

Oh, snap, your car decided to break down out in the middle of nowhere. WHAT DO? Is that Leatherface? Will this be "Children of the Corn"?2. TRUCK STOP

You've stopped at a gas station. They're out of gas, snacks and the bathrooms are out of order. Wat do. (Zombie attack optional.)3. HITCHHIKERS?

Is this even a good idea? Why is their backpack leaking suspicious substances? Go wild.4. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST HIT?

Dude, I hear deer mess up cars... or I think that was a deer.5. DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAR AROUND!

Alas, you're the parent or the disgruntled friend who has had it up to here with all the fighting in the back.6. OMG, I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS LANDMARK!

No, no, and no. You tell that person that they're going to be driven around and they're going to like it.7. THE GREAT ESCAPE

Either dinosaurs or the mothman is chasing you. Don't stop now.8. MAKE OUT~

You're now parked in one of the make-out points in this town. Did you know? Well, that's up to you, as is what you do next.9. WE'RE SO LOST

The map blew away when you were stupid enough to open the windows earlier. You know that old stereotype about how men never ask for directions but women will? Time to see if you're going to prove it right or not. Try not to fight over it too much, driving partners.10. BUT OFFICER...

Those flashing lights in your rearview mirror? Definitely not just for decoration.
Relationship (optional):

1. BUSINESS PARTNERS: The jet was undergoing some heavy repairs, so you have to drive to that big meeting.

2. BFFS/ROOMIES: On your last hurrah before you join the 'real world.'

3. NEWLYWEDS: You're a young couple on your honeymoon! Hope this doesn't ruin your relationship.

4. SIBLINGS: Whether this is a trip to reconnect or to fix things or to just deepen your bond as epic sibs is up to you.

5. PARENT & CHILD: It's like a family vacation for the two of you. try not to get on each other's nerves too much?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ gimme a lil smacky on plurk before tagging if you wanna do any ships ]

[Lena's misgivings about being talked into trying out driving in something as old fashioned as a car with actual WHEELS instead of a hovercar have been proven valid when they got a flat tire fifteen miles from the nearest truck stop.

There's a spare tire in the back and no one is doomed, but you'd never guess that from looking at her. She kicked the side of the car in frustration.]

I knew this was a bad idea! What are we going to do now?

Well, shit, don't ask me. I look like a mechanic to you? I don't even have a license.

[ ... that was probably a joke? dear god, let's just tell ourselves it was a joke. She certainly changes the subject quickly enough as she stoops down and squints at the busted tire. ]

You got any idea how we're gonna lift this beast?

I dunno. I've never driven an antique car like this, but they'd have to have SOME kind of fail safe if the wheels are this fragile, right?

[Lena squatted down next to her to peer at the tire, as if she could force the car to reveal its secrets through sheer willpower.]

Okay, so. [Jail surveys the new project before her, idly tapping the wrench she's holding against the palm of her hand.] I know I say this a lot, but...

[She looks at Erina, raises an eyebrow, and gestures expansively at what... is still mostly a car. Sort of. Some parts are definitely still attached, and only kind of dented.]

How the fuck.

Like, I'm not even mad, I'm just curious. I wanna know why there's a dent shaped like a face, I don't even recognize that face.

I plead the fifth, officer.

[ So saith Erina, from where she's plopped herself down next to the car. She is straight up just sitting cross-legged on the ground and munching what looks to be some kind of off-brand transuniversal McDonalds. Or McArnold's, as the packaging proclaims. ]

The guy who bounced off our hood is definitely probably still alive, somewhere.

Let's not kid ourselves and pretend the law applies in this garage.

[Jail casually smacks the hood of the car, making part of the dented hood pop back into shape and causing the front bumper to fall off. She catches it before it hits the ground and begins reattaching it properly, whistling nonchalantly while she does.]

It's like international waters- nobody knows who gets jurisdiction here, so they just all give up and let the person with the fanciest hat make the call. [That's... probably not how maritime law works.] Weren't you planning to have, what was it, "a chill beach getaway" in that last dimension? How'd that work out?

[She's guessing not well.]

I got peed on by a toy poodle, Josuke stood on a jellyfish and Eizen got chiggers.

[ She doesn't even have to voice the unspoken question of how the fuck do you get chiggers at the beach because... It's Eizen. Eizen is how you get chiggers at the beach. ]

That isn't like, related to the state of the car it's more a state of the us, just in case you were wondering why everyone's so incredibly fucking miserable, currently.

I mean, they kinda go together. Statistically, the shittier you guys feel, the more dents I end up having to bang outta this thing. Check it.

[Now elbow-deep in the car's inner workings, hood more-or-less salvaged (albeit in dire need of a new paint job), Jail briefly retracts a hand and waves it vaguely at a random wall, snapping her fingers. A projector promptly snaps on.]

I made a chart.

[The chart displayed by the projector has an x-axis labeled 'how fucked are the dudes' and a y-axis labeled 'how fucked is this car', over a time period of the last thirty-seven months. There does appear to be a pretty solid positive correlation.]

But hey, if it makes you feel better, there's some weed brownies in the mini-fridge over there and I can make this projector thing play Sharknado 4.

[ this is basically canon anyway ]

[ Impressions & info here! tl;dr: A super peppy, high-energy and low-wisdom traveling warrior with as many braincells as she has functioning eyes (which is to say, one). due to personal reasons, she is Out For Revenge. Mostly just here to have a good time and/or get into trouble. Cannot be trusted with her own braincell and is having SO MUCH FUN out here on her wild adventure. ]

[Reifr is the responsible one in this party. Reifr is asleep in the back seat. Therefore, no one was going to tell Rakel not to hit the random pizza box in the middle of the road, which... apparently did not have pizza in it. At least, pizza isn't known for causing your tire to go flat.

She pulls over and clambers out of the car, roots and all, to try and check out the tire.]

What was that?

What sort of maniac would leave a booby trapped pizza box in the middle of the road?

[ ... she says, as if she wasn't the one chanting PIZZA BOX PIZZA BOX PIZZA BOX the entire time Rakel was aiming for it. Bryn goes scrambling out of the car too, looking half ready to march over to the pizza box and pick a fight with it. ]

More importantly, how bad is the damage?

[The box just has some garbage in it! Unfortunately, that garbage included the remains of a broken bottle. This is why we have bins, people.]

It's torn up enough that I'm not quite sure we can fix this with duct tape. I could attempt with some of my potions! Rubber is the remains of a tree, after all! Though I'm not quite certain we wouldn't end up with a zombie tire, and while that's a fascinating study, it might be more expedient to just see if we can't replace it with the spare. ...we do have a spare, don't we?
