( 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!

( you sure you know how to drive that, seaweed head?

she'd asked it before even getting into the car, eyebrows raised in a playful look of skepticism. she knows he has his license, but she also knows what tends to happen when he gets in a car, period. it's not really his fault; demigods are prone to attracting the attention of monsters and all kinds of trouble just by existing. but that doesn't mean she can't make fun of her boyfriend for it, either. she has to admit that he's a better driver than the gray sisters, and lets him know a few hours in — his driving puts her to sleep instead of making her think they'll crash at any moment.

a ringing endorsement if there ever was one.

the possum farm was definitely, definitely percy's fault and you'll never find her admitting otherwise to anyone, ever. luckily, it's also out in the middle of nowhere and no one's likely to ever stumble across it and find out why two demigods are now banned from ever returning there, which means clarisse is probably going to find it on her next quest and give a dramatic retelling of the whole incident in front of a post-dinner campfire. the statue, though, might've been trouble if percy hadn't been there with her, and especially if percy hadn't pretty much banned her from bringing daedalus's laptop along on the trip. look, even if it is one of his automatons, and she kind of thinks it might be, she's smart enough to avoid activating it on accident! nothing would've happened. right.

anyway, she has to press her lips together to keep from laughing at the t-rex hat because it's stupid, not funny, and some of us know the difference; and when he finishes that dramatic retelling of the cd's description, she moves to snatch it away and smack his arm too. )

Percy! Can't you at least try to keep it down —

( because in case he's forgotten, the ocularly impaired have really good ears and people are looking (in a manner of speaking) their way already and damn it her voice is shaking with the laughter she's doing a terrible job of suppressing. )
