LET'S [test] DRIVING

[cava]

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, YOU KNOW THE DRILL. Here's a few options, all stolen shamelessly from previous iterations.

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters or whatever they're called.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> Arts and Crafts Fair. WILL THE KITSCH OVERWHELM YOU


or make up your own whatever this is basic and just for the purposes of getting a new test drive up.

[Rachel had been hoping for it, but considering how things tend to go in this town...

It takes a second, but she finally spots him. Just gonna duck more or less out of sight...]

Gar?

[shiftycent]

[There's a brief pause where he checks for approaching people before Garfield begins to sneak unattractively through the store to get to Rachel. Anyone who might have been observing would most likely consider the entire display an awful renactment of Mission Impossible.

His eyes are still a clear blue, but they're wide and nervous.]

Pinch me.

[titansno]

[better than that - she'll flick his forehead. helping!!!

she pulls her hand back, looking at the nail. no green makeup came away on it. hm.]

Do I want to know?

[shiftycent]

Ow!

[He flinches, but doesn't open his eyes right away.]

Did it work? Am I still a Space Toad??

[titansno]

What?

[just sort of. blinks.]

What did you think I was doing?

[shiftycent]

[He opens his eyes and checks his hands, shoulders sagging when he sees they're still green. He automatically starts scratching sheepishly at his skin, glancing upward. He is slightly embarrassed.]

I uh. I thought maybe I was dreaming. Pinching is supposed to wake you up.

[titansno]

... You're awake, Gar. That was never in doubt.

[yeah, he should be. she's giving him a very unimpressed look]

[shiftycent]

[He flinches a little, tone turning slightly defensive.]

Never in doubt? Rae, I'm green!

[Oops, too loud. He clamps his hands over his mouth instantly.]

I swear on my exotic butterfly collection that I didn't do this. You have to help me! What if someone sees me?!
