goin' down the only road I've ever known

ROAD TRIP MEME!

How To: 1. Post with your character and the usual information in the subject line and/or comment box. Be sure to include preferences! 2. Others tag you, and will you look at that, you're now on a road trip together! For some reason. 3. Optionally, roll from 1-16 to get your scenario. 4. Have fun and be excellent to each other. 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; either fix it yourself or you 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; CAN'T YOU DRIVE ANY 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 KITT. Or the Batmobile. Or a Transformer! Whatever it is, this car is NOT normal. 15: Road Head Obligatory sex-in-the-car option. Pulling over is the better and safer idea but some people just can't stop... 16: Are We There Yet? Roller's choice! Pick your favorite option, or two, or three, or just roll with whatever feels right!

The car doesn't explode, but it goes up in flames seconds after Marcus has taken a step aside.

Rasmus walks around it and then....

there is a faint whistling sound, a strange, unnerving ring in the listener's ears.

"Get AWAY FROM THE CAR!" The last words are shouted as Rasmus himself runs a few feet and ducks behind a tree.

Just in time for the car to actually explode. With quite some force.

Once it is over and he is sure that there will be no follow up explosions, the blond gets to his feet. "For fuck's sake, Killing, I will end you...

Marcus?"

Well how about that. The fucking thing did explode. Marcus was a safe distance away by the time it went up in flames, so he's not injured when it actually goes boom. Still, one has to deal with the head-spinning and ear-ringing at least. Explosions aren't exactly on the same level has guns, after all.

Marcus rises from the mailbox that he'd dove under, dusting off his clothing from the dust and debris.

"Next time, I choose the vehicle," he says with a smirk.

"I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make.

My nephew," great-grandson, really, but let's not point that out because it would be a way too obvious sign that he's not human, "has a terrible sense of humour."

He sighs and goes to see if any of the things that they just got out of the trunk have survived the explosion.
