The Traveling Meme


You're on your way from point A to point B, and you've chosen one of the many forms of communal conveyance to do so! Let's see what your trip looks like today.

1. Train: The Orient Express if you're feeling fancy, your standard intercity line if you're not, but no matter how humble the train there's always a little bit of romance to the rail.
   
2. Plane: It may be the type of travel we least look forward to. Go ahead and stuff your character in coach--unless they're one of the blessed few who can afford knee room in business class.
   
3. Ship: The heyday of the grand passenger liners, a tall ship (preferably with a star to steer her by), or the ferry.
   
4. Bus: Whether it's a school bus, a Greyhound, or your regular commuter ride... we know you're not wearing the seatbelt like you're supposed to.
   
5. Stagecoach: Some old-timey fun!
   
6. Airship: Listen, JRPGs had it right when they decided these should be a normal thing.
   
7. Spaceship: For that sci-fi feel! To boldly get Ubered where no one has Ubered before.
   

Scenarios

1. I brought a book for a REASON: You're just trying to make this journey in peace and quiet but for the person in the seat next to you....
   
2. Stalled: Well, now you're really not there yet, because your mode of transport has stopped working--thrown a wheel or can't get off the tarmac or lost the breeze. Better figure out something to do in the meantime.
   
3. Stand and deliver! Dammit, it's bandits, or robbers, or some other kind of ne'er do well--or maybe you're the one pulling the heist.
   
4. Running: Not literally, obviously, but you're trying to get away from something bad. Let's hope it's not catching up to you a few seats down....
   
5. Disaster! This isn't just inconvenient, it's catastrophic! Good thing you're here to save the day, right? ...Right?
   
6. Actually having a nice time: It's just pleasant to sit and look out windows while someone else does the steering, you know?

Claire Bennet ∞ Heroes ∞ OTA

[infinite1ups]

( I have very heavily put wanderer vibes into my post-series headcanons for Claire so this meme is essentially perfect. Also up for old-timey or futuristic AUs - her regeneration lends itself to longevity so she could easily be hundreds of years old, plus time travel is a thing in Heroes canon, plus plus I'm a slut for fantasy AUs. )

Dr. Evangeline Mix || Antiquarian horror OC, reluctant vampire || OTA

[ladyevangelinenix]

{{1890s-->present and she never does learn how to drive so the possibilities cast a wide net. But most likely: Train, Ship, Bus, Stagecoach, and maybe even Airship.}}

( always for business, never for pleasure. definitely not getting paid enough for this. (read: at all) )

[Paul experiences Earth transportation. Plane or train would be fun.]

jim kirk | star trek ( snw )

[enterprisal]

rodion raskolnikov / crime & punishment

[inaxorable]

[ Voicetesting. Most likely a train, ship, or stagecoach, but willing to do modern AU stuff too! He’s wearing raggedy old clothes and trying to focus on the book he brought. Maybe he’s running from his crimes? Searching for a second chance? I’m down for just about anything! ]

[ ota, cross-canon and oc's welcome. character info/prefs in journal. probably traveling on horseback, but i'm open to modern/multiverse au's as well. ]

Blaze-37 | Destiny OC | OTA

[rekindledtitan]

[ Interplanetary travel takes a while, especially when you almost exclusively fly a tiny in-system jumpship and you don't like sitting still. But hey, maybe an enemy ship will show up to break the cabin fever? Available in both Guardian and generic robot soldier versions; cross-canon, OCs, assumed CR all welcome. ]

[desertpowered]

[How about something with these two? Maybe Paul snuck on board?]

Magne Hikiishi | My Hero Academia | OTA

[sistermagnetic]

[A villain on the run. Perhaps pre-League, or something of an AU where either she wasn't turned into a fine mist. Or she was but was brought back and had to high tail it out. Either way, now you've got a big lady with a neat Quirk and a soft spot for spindly men.]

just a lil road trip

[omeka]

Hey, Prompto? Don't take this the wrong way, but...

[ hana pauses to take a bite out of the snack bar she found in one of her jacket pockets. she doesn't know how long it's been in there, and frankly she does not care. she's drawing out the pause now, because she's still chewing on that protein bar even as she gets out of the passenger seat. it's her turn to fill the gas tank. 🙄 ]

Iiiii... don't think you should drive!

[ ever, she thinks but doesn't say as she shoves the hose into the fuel tank before bending down to eye-level with prompto who is still sitting comfortably in the driver's seat. ]

For the rest of the way to Galdin Quay.
