[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!

Maybe. [Squinting upwards] I think if this one jumped into a different tree it'd be pretty obvious. But how would you do that, pray tell? That good a climber? I know I'm not.

Your kid's watched for now? For every one thing you see there's I don't know how many you don't.

Yeah, he's with my brother.

[ With his free hand he gestures in a vague 'thataway' direction, but then he's dragging that unruly tent of his out of the way and, with the efficiency of a seasoned outdoorsman, collapses it enough that the wind won't be springing off with it again any time soon.

Then he's considering the trees, assessing their sturdiness and the layout of their branches. Climber? Sure, he's a climber. Gotta get up a tree before you can set a hunting blind in it. He makes his choice and moves over to it, using nothing but bare hands and boots against the tree trunk to hoist himself up. ]

Holler if you see anything move!

[Kids these days. Lenore sighs and gets several steps back for a better view and to not get hit by any stray bits of bark or branch, and is deadpan again.]

Well I'm impressed. Nothing yet!

[ Is this really a guy climbing up a tree in search of what may or may not be a rabid monkey? It really is. For all his concern for his kid, he seems a little short on concern for himself.

He's no monkey-Squirrelzilla thing, he doesn't zip up with weightless ease, but he's got arm strength and leg strength and coordination. Once he's a little higher off the ground than he is tall, holding securely to the tree trunk, he shades his eyes and looks around.

Then he starts reaching out with one hand and shaking branches to try and startle something into moving.

Whose idea was this, again? ]
