the ROAD TRIP meme

A winding two-lane highway in the middle of nowhere.


{ 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 & match, or just wing it!
  • Enjoy!


Settings:

1. Post-apocalyptic:

There’s not much left of the world out there. But there’s still this road, and at the end of it, they say, there’s a haven.

2. Epic fantasy:

It’s a long and winding road, through forests and plains, and all manner of treacherous fairies and giant spiders along the way. Supposedly, at the end of it there’s a castle, a dragon, and a treasure.

3. Yellow brick road:

A journey through a world weird and wonderful, and at the end, if you’re lucky, is a way back home.

4. Modern day:

Route 66, cheap motels, diners, small-town America, and the open highway.

5. The Eternal Commute:

Welcome to hell. Or New Jersey. Either way, really. The two of you are stuck in this car, in traffic, and you’re getting nowhere. Eventually, one day, you’re going to get to your destination.

6. Wilderness road:

Maybe you’re lost, or stranded, or this is all you’ve ever known. All you know is there’s only one road in all this wilderness, and if you’re ever going to get back to civilisation, you’re going to have to follow it.

7. Shangri-La:

You’ve heard a rumor about this road. It goes somewhere. Somewhere special. El Dorado. Atlantis. Camelot. But if you ever want to get there, you’re going to have to follow the road. Don’t stray.


Scenarios:

1. Breakdown:

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. Making 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.


Relationships (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. Just try not to get on each other's nerves too much?
