[TEST] DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT

[reapsthewind]

I HONESTLY COULDN'T THINK OF A GOOD PICTURE SO THANKS LAVVY

Here, have the slightly more relevant song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nLlL1mwKI

Anyway, this is a random scenario test drive meem, since we've had an influx of new potential appers. I am a bit too lazy to make this a proper meem, so you make your own shit up. Here's some inspirational scenarios:

> The Mall. The hell are you doing out in the suburbs, bro? And why is that woman trying so hard to sell you nail polish?
> The Park. MAN IT IS A NICE D-- shit is that a Vermicelli or whatever the monsters are called?
> Arts & Crafts Fair. Cute knit cat cozies! Bad pretzels! YEAH.
> Rainy Day. It's wet and you're stuck at the bus stop. HOW DEGRADING.
> You get an echo while someone else is around. SHIT. PARANOIA TIME.

Or make up your own!

[Shinji's thinking that over, and...]

Why would destiny want us together?

[shouldertheburden]

Well, we'll have to figure that out, won't we? All I know is I've never felt like I could have close friends, but I feel somehow at ease around you. You see me as a friend too, right?

[neopianangst]

[Shinji's eyes widen a little bit at that. Even if Kaworu was odd, there was really no doubting that they were alike, in some ways.]

Well, yes...I just don't see how me being part of someone's destiny could be a good thing.

[shouldertheburden]

Well, as far as I'm concerned... [Kaworu's smile turns into a sad, reflective one, and he looks at his feet.] ...I have no reason to believe that your friendship could be anything but a good thing, Shinji. I don't know why you think otherwise. It's not like you're a bad person.

[betterlogoutand]

That's cool, I guess. [see look he is being nice to you neopets is an acceptable pastime (I guess)] Man, I remember when I still played that stuff. Someone's probably beaten all my highscores by now...

[neopianangst]

I wouldn't know, sorry.

[Because he doesn't care about your stupid high scores, so there.]

[betterlogoutand]

Well, they probably have. It's not like the games are that hard, so I'd be surprised if I was still up there.

What about you? You must be loaded by now, if you've been playing this long.

[neopianangst]

...My account got frozen two years ago and I had to start over.

[neopianangst]

[You don't know him that well, Kaworu, but he does appreciate the asspats.]

How do you know?

[betterlogoutand]

What, seriously? How'd you manage that?

Too many parties? Inappropriate pet names?

[neopianangst]

Someone reported me for something I didn't do.

[And he's still bitter about it. Very, very bitter.]

[betterlogoutand]

That sucks. [SHRUG] Oh well.

I think I can still remember my old account password... You can have some of my old crap, if you want. It's not like I'm ever going to use it again.

[neopianangst]

[Hmmmmm...should he be suspicious of this.]

Well, if you really don't care...

[shouldertheburden]

For starters, I don't think there's such a thing as bad people. And forgive me for making a judgement on your character like this, but...you don't seem like the sort of person who is hiding any terrible secrets or anything. You just need to appreciate yourself more.

[betterlogoutand]

It's no big deal. I mean, if I really wanted to I could just get all that stuff again anyway. [ryou is still 2pro4u sorry

He flips open his phone, doop doop neopets homepage...]

Guess I'll just log in and add you or something. What's your username?

[neopianangst]

Lanigera. L-A-N-I-G-E-R-A.

[Yeah he got a good name without numbers now that his old one was frozen. So there.]

[neopianangst]

If you say so.

[It is nice to have someone so interested in him so he really shouldn't question it so much.]

So, um, where were you going?

[betterlogoutand]

What the hell does that mean?

[neopianangst]

...Long-tailed chinchilla. I have one.

[Do you know how hard it is to get names without numbers these days, Ryou?!]

[betterlogoutand]

Oh. Huh. [MILDLY FASCINATING and he's already over it.] Well, whatever, I sent the request. Just add me back and I'll throw some junk your way later.

[I don't know what Ryou's old username is, and I don't care, but it's probably something awful and obnoxious to look at. The kind of username you'd expect from an annoying ten year old with too much time on his hands. It's probably full of numbers and shit.

He's still loaded as fuck, though, jesus christ how much sweet loot can one neouser even HAVE this has to be illegal somehow]

You can think of it as... compensation. [for dealing with his childish bullshit]

[neopianangst]

[Compensation?! Not sure if he should be glad that you're being nicer to him or weirded out because it sounds like you're trying to buy his forgiveness.

But. Neostuff.]

Alright, then. Let me confirm it...

[And he's doing that. Maybe getting a little bit of satisfaction of having a better username than him. And as an afterthought...]

...Thanks.

[Scenario One]

[It's raining, hard. But it's the kind of rain that somehow manages to be almost completely silent despite the hundreds of structures the thousands of drops continue to assail. Under this rain is a girl with light blue hair and bright red eyes, standing completely still, and unbothered by the darkened 4PM sky. She has no umbrella, and the bus stop she's waiting at is of the "sign" variety rather than the "posh little roofed enclosure" variety leaving her completely drenched. The only sign of actual displeasure at the fact that she's quickly becoming more than 60% water is a quiet, drawn out sigh complimenting by her fingers anxiously tapping the trim of her school bag.

Will she catch a cold? Will someone drive by and splash her with disgusting street runoff? Will a kind stranger offer her to share their umbrella?

Let's find out.]

[Scenario 2]

[The arts and crafts fair is almost over! You can find Rei hurriedly walking through the stands and display booths. There's probably a good chance she's going to bump into you, and there's also probably a good chance that she's going to keep walking without apologizing. The best you may get is a hushed "excuse me" as she lies about the fact that she actually feels remorse that she just ran into you. Really, it happens all the time, why should she? Besides, she's clearly in a hurry. Her eyes are scanning the tables covered in wonderful examples of human handiwork like a heat seeking missile seeking its target.]

Nothing here... [The girl mutters quietly to herself, making another sharp turn through the groups of people, trying to get a look at as many stands as she can as quickly as she can.]

[shouldertheburden]

Nowhere, really. I always go for a walk after school. I just thought I'd stray from my usual routes and explore.

...Ah, now that I think about it- [He turns to Shinji and smiles, placing his hand on his shoulder] -Do you have to go home, or do you want to explore the city a little?

[neopianangst]

...It's raining.

[Shinji don't be like that. Live a little.]

[shouldertheburden]

Well, yes, but we're under an umbrella, aren't we? We don't even have to stay outside, if you want. There are a few small, tucked away coffee shops I could take you to... You look like you could benefit from trying new things, is all.
