the ROAD TRIP meme

You know who likes a good road trip? Everyone likes a good road trip! So aren't you glad you get to go on one now? Of course you are.

How it works:
1. Post with your character, with their name | canon and any preferences in the subject line
2. Someone else tags you. Congratulations, those characters are now on a road trip together! To where? Who cares! We only care about the journey here
3. Go to the RNG and get a random number between 1 and 15 to pick your scenario, or combine numbers or make up your own
4. ???
5. ROAD TRIP STYLED PROFIT!

Scenarios:
1: LOST You should have made a left toin at Albuquerque, or maybe you've been holding the map upside down this whole time! Whatever it is, you're hopelessly LOST. Will you make it back on the path to your destination, or will you find a new adventure? Try not to open any hatches.

2: Tourist Trap Okay, you're all for seeing the sights, but World's Biggest Doorstopper? World's Smallest Chicken? World's Noisiest Whistle? Do we really have to stop here, too?

3: Car Trouble Maybe you got a flat tire. Maybe your engine's stalled. Or maybe you just overestimated how far you could get on a half tank of gas. Either way, you're broke down on the side of the road and the nearest station is miles away; better get behind it and push!

4: Bad Weather Driving in the rain? No problem. Driving in torrential downpours or a blinding blizzard? Big problem! Better find a way to get out of the storm fast!

5: When Ya Gotta Go... Didn't I tell you to go before we left? Well, even if you did, maybe you shouldn't have had that 44 ounce Super Big Gulp, because there's not another rest stop for miles. Maybe you can find an empty bottle in the back...

6: Road Delays Stuck in traffic? Stuck at road construction? Stuck in a funeral procession? Bridge out? Whatever it is, it's blocking your way. Do you wait patiently, or maybe find your own way around it.

7: Smokey and the Bandit Oh no, those blue lights behind you can't be good. Maybe you should just pull over and accept your speeding ticket like a decent citizen. Or, maybe you should floor it. High speed chase anyone?

8: Night Driving You decided to drive through the night, and now it's one AM and you're all out of coffee. Wake up a friend and make them help you stay awake; falling asleep at the wheel is dangerous!

9: Ghost Town Boy, this town sure is quiet. And... kind of creepy. Oh God, did something in those corn rows just move? I hear banjo music; DRIVE FASTER!

10: Roadkill Good going, you hit an animal. I sure hope you feel good about yourself. Now you've killed the poor- oh, it's still moving? What do we do now!?
      10a: The I Know What You Did Last Summer Edition That animal you hit was a little more human than you care for... oh          dear...

11: ROAD RAGE That jerk cut me off! How dare he!? I'll make him pay! Or maybe you cut off a less-than-friendly driver of your own, and now he's after you...

12: Carjacked Awww, that was a good lunch. ...Wait, I know this is where we parked... Dude, where's the car!?!?

13: Hitchhiking Who said you needed a car for a road trip? Stick that thumb out and catch a ride where you're going. Maybe you and a buddy are chillin' with the pigs in a trailer, or maybe that nice looking hitchhiker you picked up down the road is not as nice as you thought...

14: Fantasy Car Roads? Where you're going, you don't need roads. If you're in Doc's DeLorean, anyway. Or maybe the car is really Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Or a spy car. Or the Batmobile. Or a Transformer! Whatever it is, this car is NOT normal.

15: Are We There Yet? Roller's choice! Pick your favorite option, or two, or three, or just roll with whatever feels right!

7, how appropriate asdfsd

[whatyoulike]

[Spotting the police car moving up on them, lights flashing, she glances pointedly at Neal.]

I don't think it would do for either of us to be pulled over, do you?

the most appropriate, omg

[aliases]

Definitely not. [He glances at the rearview mirror before speeding up. Evasive driving is looming very near in their future.] Where's the fun in letting them catch us?

[whatyoulike]

Good boy. [She settles back, but can't resist holding a hand up in the gap between seats and waggling the fingers in a clear 'bye-bye-now.'] You'll want to go left up ahead.

[aliases]

[ He takes the turn and ups their speed a bit for good measure. ] Clever and good with directions. Is there anything else I should know about you, Miss Adler?

[ ooc: idk I'm going with they sort-of-know each other by reputation if that's okay? c: also sorry if he's a little rusty, I'm still trying to get the hang of playing him! ]

[whatyoulike]

Plenty, but where's the fun in telling?

[ooc: Fine by me, and don't worry about it! (:]

[aliases]

I take it "so tell me about yourself" wouldn't work, then. [And another few sharp turns, so while they might be leading the police on a merry chase, the end result hasn't changed their course much.]

[whatyoulike]

Well, I like long walks on the beach ... and keeping secrets. [From her tone it's clear she's being facetious, at least about the first part. Truthfully, Irene hates walks on the beach of any length. Sand and Louboutins do not make for good bedfellows.]

[After checking the mirror,]

They're dropping back a bit. Either they're giving up or they've called in a roadblock.

[aliases]

[He checks for himself and nods.] Almost makes me wish we had a police scanner-- Let's hope it's the former.

Are you this mysterious with everyone you meet?

[whatyoulike]

Most people I meet aren't in a position to ask questions. [Apart from "Please, Mistress, may I have some more?" and the like.]

[Although still keeping an eye on the road, she's less tense now.] But we can do a little tit-for-tat if you like. Tell me something I don't know about you, and I'll do the same.

[aliases]

Might as well, since we'll be driving for a while. [Give him a second to come up with something suitable...]

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue.

[whatyoulike]

["So can I" seems like a cop-out.] I had private voice lessons until I was fourteen.

[aliases]

Voice lessons, really? Do you still sing at all?

[whatyoulike]

On occasion, though never for a crowd. [Some nights she sings herself to sleep with bits and pieces of remembered arias.]

Your turn.

[aliases]

[Somehow that's kind of adorable.]

All right, uh... I used to love origami-- still do it, from time to time.

[whatyoulike]

I've never tried.

[A pause, considering.] My favorite books are mysteries.

[aliases]

Oh, I like mysteries, too. From both sides-- Creating them, solving them... You know, you might like origami. Going from two dimensions to three, it's a bit like a puzzle, if you're into that.
