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.

Because birds are tiny and skittish and I'm not either of these things!

[She is both of these things.]

||What if you turned into one of those dapper (handsome) pigeons from that one dating sim?||

[shortafewcircuits]

Pigeons are filthy and I don't want to be confused for a boy.

[It's bad enough her own father has somehow made this mistake already!]

[mindf_ck]

||I'm fairly certain pigeons come in female varieties, too (unless things are drastically different these days).||

[shortafewcircuits]

You said handsome, I heard you. Or thought it. Whatever it is you're doing, in any case.

[mindf_ck]

||Telepathy. It's my usual method (the only option) for communication, at least for me.||

[shortafewcircuits]

You're mute?

[mindf_ck]

||Close enough.||

[shortafewcircuits]

I'm sorry. That must be difficult.

[It's hard to imagine for Waver, who's most trusty weapon is her snarky mouth.]

[mindf_ck]

||Only when I have to deal with the collective babbleroar of civilization (or on karaoke nights).||

[shortafewcircuits]

Ugh, karaoke. You're better off, if you ask me.
