The Road Trip Meme

the ROAD TRIP meme

Who likes a good Gen Meme Throwback? Everyone.

And 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 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!? a deer. The deer is fine, but your car is totaled. ***
10a: The I Know What You Did Last Summer Edition That animal you hit was a little more human than you care to admit... ***

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!



*** Apologies for #10 - since it's a throwback meme, I didn't initially alter the original post, but. It was a little squicky even for me.

[twistedempathy]

[Will had been, perhaps understandably, a little dubious about the car. ("What do you use to pull a carriage this heavy, a Rhydon? A Mudsdale?" "Why is the hitch on the back instead of the front? This is the back, right?" "We could just fly instead if you've taken lessons, I do have two Xatu.") Nonetheless, it had looked sturdy and comfortable enough, and Austria had seemed to know what he was doing, so.....

It's only now, who knows how much later, that he gets to discover how poor a navigator Austria is. Traffic is creeping along at a near standstill, thanks to an accident ahead; Will leans forward to try and see what all the flashing lights and sirens are about.]

That doesn't look good..... can't we just go off-road for a bit to get around it? Where's your map?

[This thing is a build like a tank, surely it can handle a bit of natural terrain, right?]

3: Car Trouble (time travel shenanigans methinks?)

[durango]

Where's Geordi when you need him?

Of course, looking at this strange jumble of machinery "under the hood" of the ancient vehicle, Deanna's not entirely convinced he'd be able to fix it either. But at least he'd stand a better chance than the two of them. All she knows is that it shouldn't be smoking. Coughing, Deanna waves her hand in front of her face. Foul stuff. How did anyone ever live on Earth when it was full of such chemicals?

She looks over at Worf. "Now what we do?"

[353days]

( aged up version! )

[stillazoomer]

[She's running late, which isn't really unusual when it comes to Max. Sometimes it feels like the faster she moves, the farther behind she falls. Graduation is in just a few short months and after that...well, she still has no idea what she's doing. It keeps her awake nights, even on the more peaceful nights that don't involve screaming arguments in her household.

What makes this bad is that it's a school night (which isn't a big deal to her because she's not going to be able to sleep tonight anyway, but she would bet that Mike enjoys sleeping). Granted, it's only a couple of hours from Hawkins to Indianapolis, but she's already dreading the line they'll be facing if they don't get there sooner than later. But she's determined to get these tickets for Lucas' birthday.

They'd just gotten back together after a six week break-up -- one of their longest. She wants to do something extra special for him considering how much crap he puts up with from her on the regular.

She's not entirely sure what had inspired her to ask Mike to go with her on this little roadtrip, really, but it had worked out since the rest of their group -- sans Eleven -- had to work tonight. She's gland she landed the night off. Luck was on her side this time. She pulls into the Wheeler's driveway at 7:12.]

Cloud Strife | FFVII (crisis core)

[backwatertrooper]

[swordoath]

[ in Zack's defense, it's not as if he does a whole lot of driving. or reading maps. most of the time he is carted to places rather than having to rely on his own sense of direction.

the worst part of it, he hasn't quite told Cloud that he doesn't recognize anything on the road just yet. Zack's pretty sure there was supposed to be a lake out this way, according to the map he had, but uh... yeah there's not even a SIGN or anything. in fact, the next town is still a good ways away so it's not like they can stop and ask for directions.

Cloud's probably gonna murder him in his sleep for this one. ]

ignis | FFXV: Broadtrip

[broments]

Mix of things? 3+4? We can add more later? tell me if anything needs fixing :))

[nocts]

[By the Astrals, the weather was horrendous. Noctis usually didn't care whether it rained or no, but right now, it was the worst possible scenario. The loud thunder and lightning in the distance get his attention briefly before he looks back at Ignis.

Who seems to be burning holes in the car's windshield. They weren't in the middle of nowhere, thank Shiva, but they were in the middle of the road. Not close to the city they headed to and not close to the town they left. And the next haven several miles away but setting up the tent in this wind would be more than just challenging.

No one on the streets.]

What luck, huh?

[Noct's head thumps against the window as he stares at the road.]

13 - I have an AU of Ellie as a werewolf, but whatever works!

[fungi_notpunny]

[Ellie rolls her shoulder as she keeps her thumb out, uncomfortably aware that this isn't a good idea. While she has a couple of weapons that could get her out of a pinch, hitchhiking isn't the best of ideas.

But she needs to save the money she has, so here she is.

Someone will stop soon enough. Hopefully it's not someone stopping because she's young.]

Sam Winchester | Supernatural

[Since his life is mostly one long road trip...]
