TEST DRIVE MEME

[behind_the_box]

And here's the opening for our first Test Drive Meme! Pick from the following scenarios, or feel free to create your own setup!

1. The Future of the 80s
What is this, an episode of the Jetsons? Buildings are shaped like flying saucers, foods can be found in little nutrient pills of various flavors, and holograms have replaced most forms of entertainment-related technology. Be wary of any glowing beverages, and the Management apologizes if you find yourself with any cybernetic body parts. Sometimes the surgery records get mixed up.

2. Rotten apple
Someone ate something they shouldn't have. The world is such a strange place, it's hard to say what's safe and what isn't. But that fruit looked so good, you just couldn't resist, could you? Too bad nobody warned you that side-effects may include odd behavior, hallucinations, temporary physical changes, or queasiness.

3. Are you afraid of the dark?
It's well past your curfew, shouldn't you go home? Even the moon and stars are hiding at this hour. There's nothing out here but you and the luna moths hovering by the street lamps. So who said that? Did you see something move out of the corner of your eye? That's your friend you just bumped into, right? ...Right?

4. It's a dog's life
Or a duck's, or a snake's, or a bat's. Pandora is a safari and you are now a critter. Better hope you're high on the food chain or that your friends can ignore the urge to eat you. While this place is such a zoo, you can bet someone will be up to fowl play.

[...Oh.]

Really? I wouldn't have guessed.

[She's all pretty and chipper and upbeat and pretty and don't boys like that? Waver thought boys like that.]

Er, that is-- I don't either. Um, or ever, actually.

...Which probably means that if we're going to do anything, you should decide on it.

[There. Now they can both be sad lonely sods together, or somesuch.]

[sparkula]

I used to be a mallrat. Then stuff happened.

[ Being a mutant, an X-Man, and then a vampire can really do a number on one's social life. ]

I doubt much is open this time of night. Wanna get a bite to eat?

[shortafewcircuits]

What's a mallrat?

[She's never heard of that breed before...]

As long as it isn't something awful and fried in ridiculous amounts of oil, fine.

[sparkula]

Man, you don't know what a mallrat is? You are so, like, missing out! If there's a mall around here, maybe I can show you sometime.

[ She nods. ]

We can get whatever you want. I'm not picky.

[shortafewcircuits]

What's a mall?

[Waver has priorities.]

[sparkula]

[ Jubilee makes a face. ]

Oh jeez. You poor thing, you.

[shortafewcircuits]

What is that supposed to mean?

[TSUN POWERS: ACTIVATE]

[sparkula]

It means you got a lot to learn, chica. Don't worry, I'll fix that!

[ Jubilee's surrogate father is Wolverine. Tsun powers are useless against her. ]

[shortafewcircuits]

That sounds ominous.

[God, it's like she somehow found perky, attractive, American Rider.]
