the ROAD TRIP meme

You know who likes a good road trip? Everyone likes a good road trip! So aren't you glad you get to go on one now? Of course you are.

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

[So he picks up a kid hitchhiking in Wisconsin. They're both heading due east so he's not too worried. The car is a nice black Firebird. An old car but it runs pretty well. He's got some old classic rock station playing on the radio.]

What were you doing on the side the road anyway?

Takato Matsuda | Digimon Tamers

TAKATO casually shrieks!!! also 1

[onlytools]

[ let's go on a trip, Takato said. it'll be fun, Takato said. it's okay, I know which trains we have to board and everything!, Takato said.

evidently, Takato said a whole lot of things, and Ruki is less inclined to believe any of them with every minute that ticks by. especially now that they've gotten off the train at some city Ruki's never been to before, with little to no apparent idea as to where they are or where they're going.

falling asleep on the train with only Takato to rely on was such a mistake. ]

Hey, are you sure we were supposed to get off here?

How meta is THIS going to be?! Oh, and 11.

[webball]

[Peter slumps in the passenger seat, eyes narrowed, looking a little exasperated. Not actually getting a driver's license (hey, why commute when you can webshoot?) means he's not driving this car, and being in a car means he's forced to deal with heavy traffic and his butt falling asleep while he waits for them to get to their destination. It also doesn't help that his driver/new road trip buddy, Troy, has been so... fanboy-ish. Not to mention chatty. ...Wait, who is HE to talk about others being chatty? Sheesh, take a look in the mirror.]

ow. It's nothing. Just tell me if anybody looks like they notice us, okay?

[that would be Tifa with her head and hands under the dashboard of the ShinRa style troop transport truck trying to follow Jessie's 'it's easy' instructions on how to hot wire a car from memory. Outside a diner. Full of those ShinRa troops that just got out of the truck for lunch.]

[Sherlock's cases take him all over London, the country, and sometimes even other countries. He gets to see all of life, from Buckingham Palace to the roughest council estates in the city. Currently, he's at the latter, looking out the window of a flat where a body has turned up, seemingly a victim of self-combustion. That's not why he's looking out the window, though. No, he's enjoying watching Lestrade's police car being stolen.

He'll mention it in a minute.]

Eames || Inception

[blends]

7...ish

[housebroke]

[ The cops weren't exactly on their tail... well alright, they were nearly there, close enough to be a concern yet far enough back to make it a touch easier to stay two steps ahead of their likely foolish decision making. Though, there was always the fact that they weren't in shooting range, but so was Sark and, if needed, he could land a perfect shot or two without a care.

But what truly mattered was they'd gotten what they were looking for in the first place, now they simply had to get it somewhere safe.

Keeping the box securely in hand, Sark shifted quick once again, peering over his shoulder and out the back window, keeping an eye on the encroaching cars as well as Arthur in the backseat. ]

Assuming we make it to the drop off point in time, this could go off without another hitch.

[ Back to looking out the front window, the passenger side, and leaning around Eames to see through his side, Sark narrowed his gaze, pressing a hand against the dashboard. ] I'd recommend you take the next right. As quickly as possible.

[V/V can't drive, but she can pick up on things like really loud get-off-the-road-now noises the car makes.]

I don't think it would do for either of us to be pulled over, do you?

[dontbeboring]

[Sherlock is slumped down low in his seat next to his brother, moving slowly through the streets in Mycroft's chauffeur-driven car. He'd only agreed to this because the older man had promised him a case, but it appears he's been duped. And looking for inspiration for Mummy's birthday is far from his ideal way of spending a day.]
