( road trip )

[absurdities]

{ road trip!! }

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 turn 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: Obligatory Romance/Smut Option 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.


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

[Waver takes the water and opens it] We can probably magecraft it cool.

At least it's something.

[nonacquiescent]

Ah, right. Good idea.

If we actually had the tea portion, we could have tea.

[gordianknots]

We could do the weird US sun-tea thing. You put tea in water, and leave it in the sun to steep.

[nonacquiescent]

Does that actually taste any good?

[gordianknots]

Time to find out.

[nonacquiescent]

...Well, tea is tea, in this case.

[Getting back into the passenger seat, he cracks open a bottle of water, drops a tea bag in, and sets it on the dash.]

[gordianknots]

[Waver sighs and moves the car up another few centimeters, and then returns it to park.]

It'll take an hour at least, I think. You're free to change the music, by the way.

[nonacquiescent]

At least we have some forseeable milestone, more than can be said for actually getting anywhere.

[after a glance at the iPod, he leans over to scroll through it.]

[gordianknots]

[Surprise, it's mostly video game soundtracks]

I'm really debating just taking an exit and going down country roads rather than deal with this.

[nonacquiescent]

[A++, bigself.]

Honestly? That's probably the best plan. If you can actually get to an exit ever.

[gordianknots]

I see the sign for one up ahead, so, we should be okay. O else you can check one of the maps in the glovebox and find out where the fuck we are.

[nonacquiescent]

Both, probably.

[After some more rifling through the glovebox, he comes up with a map and spreads it out, looking up at the nearest roadsign, and back down. When he finds where they are, he taps a finger to the spot on the map.]

It looks like a pretty winding route, but as long as we don't get lost, it's better than this.

[gordianknots]

[Waver looks over to follow his tiny self's finger, and then looks up at the road.]

I believe I should be able to pull this off with minimal fuss. You're to yell at me when I need to turn.

[nonacquiescent]

Only give you a moment's notice and shout at the top of my lungs? Got it.

[gordianknots]

No, shout as we're approaching!

[nonacquiescent]

Oh, right, sure.

[Sorry bigself, he's just being a jerk because he's frustrated...]

Then whenever you get up to this exit, you want to take the left.

[gordianknots]

--Hmm, I think that if we inch up a little bit more we can just bail onto the exit ramp.
