[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!

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.

[neopianangst]

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

How do you know?

[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.

[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?

[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.

[neopianangst]

[THINKING IT OVER...he is lonely. He wants to do the hanging out...]

...Alright, but I should probably text Rei and make sure she's alright first.

[Getting his phone out to tell his sick sister he's blowing her off, yeaaah.]

[shouldertheburden]

She's not doing too badly, is she? [Kaworu furrows his brow.] Family is more important than spending time with people like me. Don't feel like you have to come with if you would feel happier going home to see your sister.

[neopianangst]

I see my sister everyday, and she wasn't that sick this morning. As long as she hasn't gotten worse it should be fine.

[Come on Rei, text him back. Please don't be asleep.]
