{ 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!

Stitch?

[And what kind of chips and candy does he have? Or does it matter? Probably good stuff, regardless.]

Of course I'll go with you!

[Someone has to try to keep a little bit of control in both their lives, even if they don't know where they are.

Right??

RIGHT?]

[Snacks - brightly colored, crunchy, questionable chemical contents. So really, they're indistinguishable from any Earth pit stop offerings!]

Whoo! Road trip!

[Dumping the neon bags into the backseat, he hops into the Driver's side. The vehicle has rounded edges and gleams bright red in the afternoon sun. In fact, it looks very much like the one Elvis drove in "Viva Las Vegas!"

As Stitch presses a few buttons, it begins purring.]

[Winry's not used to such tiny automobiles, but she has to admit, it's a really beautiful machine. She walks around the car, admiring it for a few seconds, then climbs into the shotgun seat. The purr vibrates up through her spine.]

This is amazing, Stitch!

[Oh, it gets better! With a grin, Stitch switches on the radio. It's been specially programmed to pick up the voice signature of a particular artist no matter what universe!]

Jumba built! Did good job, but still not used to WHOAAAAAAH!

[Whoops, maybe stepped a bit too hard on the accelerator there! Hopefully Winry had time to buckle up!]

[Winry squeals, grabbing for the dashboard. She's got a good, tight grip, but she thinks the snacks probably fell out the back.]

Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!

[Her teeth are rattling, her hair's whipping like a flag, and Winry's pretty sure her eyes are gonna fly out of their sockets.]

[Stitch dodges around several other vehicles, setting off a chorus of blaring horns to accompany the King! Ah, the wind in his fur! The open road!

Too bad he can't hear Elvis with Winry shrieking like that!]

Okayokayokay!

[Flailing, he manages to tap out a sequence. The car slows to match the flow of traffic.]

[Winry pries her fingers loose from the dash as the vehicle slows down to a more reasonable speed. It seems kind of dull, after that last burst of speed.]

Uh. Thanks for slowing down.

[First things first, though.]

Do you have any idea where we are, Stitch?

Nope!

[He sounds remarkably cheerful about that, and why not? It's a beautiful day, warm and perfect for driving with the top down! As they round a bend in the road, it curves into a wide panoramic view. The land falls away in rolling fields of silver and purple, under a clear, faintly green sky. To the west, there's a glint of water - maybe an ocean or a lake?]

Jumba said there should be a map! Maybe it's one of the buttons? Not the red!

[Winry eyes the red button. It's so shiny. And appealing. Kind of like a red apple that's just out of reach.

Shaking if off, Winry punches the dark green button, instead.

A screen appears in front of her, of a large, four-eyed being smiling. Then a blast of music plays, with the words, 'JUMBA CREATIONS TM'.]

Oh, no.

[Winry punches the green button again, and the screen vanishes.]

[Stitch snorts. Trust Jumba to make a button JUST for his face!

He glances at the board. There's a rainbow of options! Let's seeeeeeee... shrugging, he punches pink.

There's a moment's pause, then a cloud of neon balloons bursts from a side panel, nearly burying his passenger!]

Whoops!

[Winry starts giggling at the balloons, which blow out of the convertible top and sails off behind them, a neon rainbow.]

That's not too bad!

[A squeal of car tires behind them makes her glance over her shoulder. A man gets out of his car and waves his fist at them.]

Whoops is right! Sorry! [She shouts behind them.]

[Stitch would feel terrible if the man actually got into an accident, but he's obviously fine if he's jumping around like that! The alien cackles and waves.]

Neega nala queestaaaaaaa!

[It is DEFINITELY a good thing Winry hasn't figured out a way to build a translator yet... he hopes?]

Next button, next button!

[From Stitch's chanting, Winry's pretty sure she doesn't want to know what he said. Glaring at him, though, that doesn't do anything - not that she knows it would.

Boys.]

Okay...

[She runs her finger just above the line of buttons. There are so many of them.]

What about...purple?

[She pushes it.]
