the ROAD TRIP meme

[darjeeling]

{ road trip!! } It's that time of the year! 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? (taken from memeonic & arspaulina @ lj)

[[ Let's just...not roll for those relationships. A temporary partner, a friend, a witness under police protection, or a criminal suspect in the back of his car for non-castmates would be ideal compared to the listed, thank you. c: ]]

HA! rolled 5

Vanessa had her feet kicked up against the back of the seat and regulation cage in front of her. Her arms crossed as she frowned at the back of Ryan's neck.

"Are we there yet?" she asked in the dullest voice possible. It wasn't her fault she got caught by the police for carrying a weapon.

A portable laser cannon that she was supposed to bring to her dad. Yeah, that story didn't go over well.

lmao. that might be...

[wildrover]

Ryan frowned at the girl through the rear view mirror. Other than reprimanding her again or hurting his hand banging on the mesh in an attempt to illicit a reaction--which he doubted he would get--there was nothing he could do about her posture. Not that he had to pretend to be okay with it either.

"No," he stated in as equally a flat voice as her. "You'll know when we're there because I'll be hauling you into a jail cell. Right after processing. Neither of which complaining will make go any faster or turn out any better."

[vanessasaryd]

Hey, if he wanted her to sit up straight, he could come back here and say it. Till then, her vampire goth black boots were up against the mesh.

And now texting because she's bored.

"Thank you, Captain Killjoy."

[Castle's been dozing for most of this ride, but the sign he sees on the side of the road makes him sit up and start to hit Ryan in the arm.]

Ryan! World's biggest mushroom! Turn right!

[wildrover]

[Ryan glanced to the side at Castle, half offended and half incredulous though really he should have seen this one coming.]

Castle, we don't have time to sight-see. We've already wasted too much time stopping for all your-- [he waved towards the vicinity of Castle and then the back seat where all the assorted junk food wrappers had accumulated] --junk.

[writeswrongs]

[Castle gave him an incredulous look.]

Ryan. It's the world's biggest mushroom. Look at the billboard! That thing is huge!

[wildrover]

It's a billboard, Castle. Try reading the small print next time.

[And even if Ryan was wrong and the mushroom was somehow as large as seen on the sign? He wasn't interested in stopping. At least not enough to actually give Castle the pleasure of rubbing it in, anyway.]

[writeswrongs]

Ok, yes, I know the billboards exaggerate. I am a writer after all.

[He'd had to sell a few of his early works based on some exaggeration.]

But come on. You're actually telling me that you're not interested in larger than average fungi?

[wildrover]

[Ryan hesitated before replying.]

...Maybe just a little, but I'm more interested to get where we're going.

[writeswrongs]

[And there's his in.]

See! Come on. It will only take like 5 minutes, I swear. You probably need to pee anyway seeing as how you drank that entire bottle of Coke.

[wildrover]

[Ryan squirmed at the mention but his face made it clear he wasn't going to fall for the attempt. Not yet.]

Five minutes, Castle? Why don't I believe you when you say that's all the time you would take to gawk?

[writeswrongs]

I'm a very quick gawker when I want to be. Besides, there might be a stream there. A clear steam full of flowing water...

[wildrover]

Dude. [Ryan shot Castle a glare.] So not cool.

[writeswrongs]

[Castle just stared out the window solemnly.]

The river, tricking down... coursing... flowing... rushing waters...

[wildrover]

[Ryan countered by staring stoically out the windshield as he concentrated on driving.]

Just for that, we're not stopping again for the rest of the trip.

[writeswrongs]

What?! No, what are you going to do? Pee out the window?

[wildrover]

No. It's called being an adult and holding it, Castle.

[writeswrongs]

[Castle gives him a pointed look.]

All the way to Texas though?

[wildrover]

[He frowns.]

Till we stop for a legitimate reason.

[writeswrongs]

Are you trying to say that the world's largest mushroom isn't legitimate?

[wildrover]

That's exactly what I'm saying, Castle.

[writeswrongs]

[Sigh. Dirty look.]
