[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!

WE CAN DROP YOU OFF ON THE DENTIST ON OUR WAY TO CLUSTERFUCK CANYON

Please. Discouragement is the least of my worries, and belittlement doesn't rank much higher.

[He actually lets out a small scoff. Even throwing in a dismissive shake of his head and a dusting of of his leather jacket.]

I do appreciate the concern, but believe you me, it takes more that some stumbling perceived by others to break me down.

[Yeah, okay, he's not even trying to mask what he's talking about anymore. Playtime's over.]

NO IT'S FINE I'M GOING TO BE FOREVER

[Hikari tilts her head to the side, expression all china doll perfection and concern. he may not have the stamina to keep up the masquerade (which she counts as a win) but she's certainly going to keep playing it out. it makes him look at the more idiotic]

My goodness, you seem to be a bit riled up over something. Is there anything I can do?

NO NO BY ALL MEANS ALL ABOARD WE'RE GOING TO PASS IT ON THE WAY

[friendleading]

Riled up? You might be thinking of the wrong words, miss. I'm not particularly riled up over anything.

[Even her face has that doll-like property to it. She was selling this gig well, even if it made his blood boil to see it. What was this, one of those annie-may things? Gag. Nevertheless, he put on a face of gratitude, smiling softly.]

Though your concern is quite admirable. There aren't many people who'd go out of their way to help a stranger like that.

[Fuck it, he might not be able to break the facade, but he could totally bait her using it.]

I'LL WALK IT'S FINE I NEED THE EXERCISE

Once you find yourself a stranger in a completely different country, it's rather easy to empathize with awkward individuals. America is wonderful for that.

[and once again the cheerful surface belies more jabs at both Mac and the entire country. this conversation gone on longer than Hikari had thought it would, but she can't say that it's an annoyance; she's enjoying continually locking the boy into this pretend pleasantry, and is looking forward to the moment when he can't take it any longer]

All the same, it's reassuring to know this is your natural state.
