{The Road Trip Meme!!}

It's that time of the year again! 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 and match, or just wing it!
• Enjoy!

Situations:

1. BREAK DOWN

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. MAKE 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.
Relationship (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. try not to get on each other's nerves too much?

[ makishima reaaaaaaaaaally should've known better than to agree to toudou's wild road trip idea.

then again, he probably wouldn't have lived it down if he said no either.

so that's why he's here, his bike stuffed in the back and his eyes nervously flitting between the wires between them, the road, and toudou who really needs to be looking at the road. holy shit. makishima didn't mind cars or driving, he planned on getting his own license eventually, but this felt like a death trap.

so when toudou shoves the cords aside, makishima snatches them up and pulls the mp3 player in his lap. ]

You should let me do it anyway so you can just drive.

[ he sighs, tucking his bangs behind his ear as he starts to go through the music library.

which... ]

Why are there so many K-pop girl groups on here?

[Okay, there are not so many. There are maybe four or five, and he doesn't even have the complete discography to date for all of them.]

For the same reason you have so many of your weird softcore photobooks, I guess.

[...More or less, anyway. Besides which, they're POPULAR okay, it's NORMAL.]

If you don't like it then just pick something else.

[ toudou..... although that comment makes him full flinch, talk about a low blow. ]

Oi, jeez, fine.

[ he flips through it for a while longer, navigating pop band after pop band, a few he recognizes from the radio but nothing that catches his fancy. there are also some singers he doesn't recognize at all, but he's not sure he wants to risk listening to toudou's whole weird collection. makishima sighs, gives up, and puts it on shuffle. ]

I should've known you only listen to pop music.

Not only. I listen to hip-hop, too. And... gagaku, but it's not like I keep that kind of thing on my player.

[Being defensive and looking for the next exit at the same time sure is tiring! It's not like he has anything to prove, anyway. Except that he really, really does and isn't really sure what he's up against in this case. Well...]

Am I to understand that Maki-chan has much more refined tastes?

[ makishima barely hides his laugh under a snort. of course he would listen to such old fashioned stuff right next to his modern, up to date beats. ]

Nah, I guess I listen to a lot more foreign stuff.

[ though... ] Which hip hop artists do you have on here? [ he holds up the little ipod and shakes it, because he would much rather listen to that than whatever ridiculous band is playing right now ]

Foreign, huh.

[That could mean a lot of different things, but somehow it really fits. And damn it, something about the way he says it actually does make it seem a touch more refined.]

Well, like... Miss Monday, or Sowelu, or Narsha's solo album.

[So, you know. All pretty girls.]

[ shrugs ] Yeah, mostly English stuff.

But Miss Monday... she isn't bad.

[ makishima picks the ipod back up and flips through it, putting on quality car riding music. ]
