[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!

[Ryou was going to meet with someone else, but of course, they decided not to show at the last minute. So much for all his plans today. He sighs, sitting down at a random bench while he types out another text.

It takes a minute or two before he actually glances at the other end, finally noticing that hey, there's a person there.

... Wait, doesn't he know this person??]

Shinji? Damn, long time no see. [remember this douchebag]

1/2

[neopianangst]

[Shinji looks up, and...

DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK OH GOD IT'S RYOU.]

2/2

[neopianangst]

Oh...yeah.

[This is so awkward. What does he even want?]

...Hi?

[betterlogoutand]

[Wow. That's awkward enough to earn him A Look.] Jeez, you sure haven't changed. It's been what, three years? [and you're still as awkward as ever

He leans back, resting his arms across the back of the bench.]

So what've you been up to? You're in highschool now, right?

[neopianangst]

Middle school, actually. Or...just getting out of it, I guess.

[Shinji hesitantly scoots a little further away from Ryou.]

[betterlogoutand]

Really? Huh. I thought you were a grade higher. [it's not like he ever bothered to ask before, lbr here

... it's kinda hard to miss the scooting, though. This is the point where Ryou realizes, just maybe, he didn't leave such a great impression back then.]

Er... hey, you're not still mad at me or something, right? You know I was only teasing.

[neopianangst]

Maybe 'mad' isn't exactly the word I'd use, but...

[Mumble mumble.]

[betterlogoutand]

Oh.

[yyyyyyyyyyyyyyep we have officially reached the awks-zone. end of the line, folks, no going back now.

shit he has to find a way to rectify this

...he can kinda see what's on Shinji's phone from here...]

... Soooo, you still go to Neopets?

[neopianangst]

[Shit. He was being careless and now he's been found out. Or, well, maybe he hasn't seen and he's just asking. So Shinji starts off with denial.]

W-What? No way! That site's for babies, isn't it?

[Nervous laugh.]

[betterlogoutand]

Then why is it on your phone? [points

denial: denied.]

[neopianangst]

[...Okay, fine.]

Because I still...play Neopets...

[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.

[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...

[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.]

[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.
