{The Road Trip Meme!!}

It's that time of the year again! You decided to take a road trip!
Either to your friends, relative, or perhaps an event,
but oh, my goodness, what will happen along the way?
• Post with your character name/fandom/options preferences.
• Use RNG to pick your possible scenario - or just go with what you'd like most.
• Reply to other people's tags. Use RNG, mix and match, or just wing it!
• Enjoy!

Situations:

1. BREAK DOWN

Oh, snap, your car decided to break down out in the middle of nowhere. WHAT DO? Is that Leatherface? Will this be "Children of the Corn"?2. TRUCK STOP

You've stopped at a gas station. They're out of gas, snacks and the bathrooms are out of order. Wat do. (Zombie attack optional.)3. HITCHHIKERS?

Is this even a good idea? Why is their backpack leaking suspicious substances? Go wild.4. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST HIT?

Dude, I hear deer mess up cars... or I think that was a deer.5. DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAR AROUND!

Alas, you're the parent or the disgruntled friend who has had it up to here with all the fighting in the back.6. OMG, I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS LANDMARK!

No, no, and no. You tell that person that they're going to be driven around and they're going to like it.7. THE GREAT ESCAPE

Either dinosaurs or the mothman is chasing you. Don't stop now.8. MAKE OUT~

You're now parked in one of the make-out points in this town. Did you know? Well, that's up to you, as is what you do next.9. WE'RE SO LOST

The map blew away when you were stupid enough to open the windows earlier. You know that old stereotype about how men never ask for directions but women will? Time to see if you're going to prove it right or not. Try not to fight over it too much, driving partners.10. BUT OFFICER...

Those flashing lights in your rearview mirror? Definitely not just for decoration.
Relationship (optional):

1. BUSINESS PARTNERS: The jet was undergoing some heavy repairs, so you have to drive to that big meeting.

2. BFFS/ROOMIES: On your last hurrah before you join the 'real world.'

3. NEWLYWEDS: You're a young couple on your honeymoon! Hope this doesn't ruin your relationship.

4. SIBLINGS: Whether this is a trip to reconnect or to fix things or to just deepen your bond as epic sibs is up to you.

5. PARENT & CHILD: It's like a family vacation for the two of you. try not to get on each other's nerves too much?

[ Great. This is literally the last thing he needs right now. For someone who spends most of his life outside, Ryuutaro sure hates most weathers irrationally much. ]

Agreed, for once.

[ The first thing they agreed on since getting in that car, likely enough. ]

Except there is nowhere we can quite get out to.

[ He motions with his fan - and subsequently the map because he's got them in the same hand - in the direction of the building he spotted earlier. ]

Let's go that way, I think I saw a building.

[Gokudera looked the way Ryuutaro was fan-pointing and shrugged. He didn't give a shit where they stayed really, it was all the same to him.]

Yeah sure, whatever. Lead the way.

[ Ryuutaro sighs. ]

Then come along.

[ They could get this piece of trash that used to be a car some other time. Or... never. What value does some stolen broken car have to them? If there is any other way to get away from wherever on planet earth they had ended up, it would be preferable. ]

I just hope the rain will not start fully until we are there.

[ ... but he has the bad feeling he'll be totally out of luck. ]

Why? You allergic to water or something?

[Gokudera continued to follow Ryuutaro, ONLY NOW HE'S BEING A TOTAL DICK AND WALKING SLOWER.Just to see what happens. Ryuutaro, you have a terrible taste in friends.]

[ Gokudera shouldn't push his luck any more today or he might get strangled after all.

Ryuutaro takes another deep breath because Gokudera isn't worth to lose his cool over, clearly. That's why keeping calm is so hard. Ryuutaro smiiiiles twitchily. ]

Getting soaking wet is the last thing I need to make today even more splendid and fantastic.

[ The only thing he's allergic to are your five year old antic. Ryuutaro is not going to slow down with you, Gokudera, do whatever you want.

There are more raindrops. Great. ]

Right, why am I not surprised. I'd say you're a delicate flower but even those don't give a shit if they get wet.

[Gokudera is very used to not having any luck to push, so he is totally content being a big bag of dicks for thing more than shits and giggles.

He just causally strolls along, hands in his pockets, taking his sweet time even though the rain is starting to come down a little harder. He looked over at the building in the distance. It looked pretty run down, but maybe that was just the distance. Not like he cared, he's spent his fair share of time living in dumps.]

Flowers need rain to grow. I do not.

[ Even though he certainly wouldn't mind growing some more - but rain won't help him with that at all. So as it starts to become more unpleasant, he just uses the map as a rain shield for his head. It helps for the moment being at least.

He was surprised to find the building being really just a single building and not even a complex of a few. What would even be out here all on its own? ]

Well it looks like you need something you're not getting. [He snickers] Maybe some miracle grow.

[Gokudera looks up at the building, not even bothered that he's getting rained on. REAL MEN GET WET OKAY? He totally won't be regretting this later or anything. Nope. Not a bit.

It did seem pretty run-down, but the lights were on, and there was an old faded 'Motel' sign out front. Seems legit.

So he just mosies on in.]

[ He's not small, excuse you, do you see these ten centimeter plateau heels?! Those obviously negate him being tiny entirely. He's not small, get your eyes checked.

Ryuutaro angrily snaps his fan in response, but refrains from discussion because there is... no reasonable argument to counter with. He's just taking it with confidence, yeah. ]

Uh... are you sure this is even still running?

[ A place as run-down as this can't possible be in business, right? ]

whut, would you rather sleep outside?

[Gokudera looks around the lobby. No cameras, no one at the desk...

So he leans over the counter, pops open the register, takes out a handful of twenties, closes the register, and stuffs the twenties into his wallet before ringing the bell for service.

Soon the clerk made his way out from the other room. He was tall and slender, his dark here slicked back. His face was pale and stern-looking, though he was dressed neatly. He raised his eyebrows seemingly unimpressed with the boy's appearance. He was quiet for a lingering moment before asking "Can I Help you?"

For the moment Gokudera was eyeing the guy up and down. Looked like a total prick.]

[ Ryuutaro watches this scene play out before him with raised eyebrows. He's not a person with high morals but he has some and this is... wrong. But it also solves all their problems so he can hardly complain.
His life just boils down to constantly being in bad company.

He smiles brightly at the motel clerk. ]

Good evening! We would like to stay the night. Do you have any free rooms for us?

[ "Indeed" was the droll reply. While the clerk got the keys for the room, Gokudera pulled out his wallet to pay with the money he had just stolen.

The clerk handed over the key and gave Gokudera a look and added on "I trust there will be no trouble. We like to maintain a quiet, peaceful atmosphere here."

And of course Gokudera picks up on who that comment was directed at right away, and went right on ahead to prove the statement true.]

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[That may be your cue to pull him away Ryuutaro.]

Edited ("snall" is apparently not an HTML code.) 2014-07-13 19:38 (UTC)

[ Gokudera's skill at manipulating people subtly is painfully low and Ryuutaro cringes internally. His fan shoots over to the side, vaguely hovering in front of Gokudera's mouth to stop him from speaking.

He smiles again, first at Gokudera then at the clerk, with a sweetness that could lead small animals to a sticky doom. ]

It's supposed to mean that we're going to get a good night's rest.

After all, a quiet atmosphere is just what we'd expect from a respectable place as this one fortune led us to... Thank you very much for your services.

[ He takes the fan away from Gokudera, finally, and opens it, still smiling. ]

Let's go.

[Hayato grumbles and reluctantly starts to follow Ryuutaro to their room. Eyeing the clerk on more time, he can't help but get the last work in.]

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Get a friggin' tan while you're at it. I've seen cadavers with a better complexion than you.

[And he'll just be grumbling the whole way to their room about how much he does not like that guy.]

[ Such hostility - it's not like Ryuutaro thinks that guy looked any good either, but he firmly believes you get by better when you keep all that inside and give people a smile anyway. It's more controlled, efficient and clean in his opinion.

For the same reason he doesn't feel like picking a fight with Gokudera now either - but he rolls his eyes at him anyway. They know each other enough to know they disapprove of a lot about another - there's no need to hide that.

More to worry about than their state of relationship is the state of the motel. The light bulb in the hallway of their room is literally hanging from only one naked power cable. ]

At this rate, the atmosphere won't only be quiet, it will also be quite dark....

Shit's dark every night. I hope you're not planning to sleep with the light on or something like that.

[Gokudera heads to the room number that's on the key, and opens the door. He flicks on the light and looks around the room. It looked as though it was once a very nice room, but lack of care and age had deteriorated it into an eerily dusty ghost of it's former self-

which of course, was the first thing Gokudera noticed, despite their only being one bed. He'd bitch about that a little later.]

Jeeze, this place looks like a haunted version of the friggin' Bates Motel. Ten bucks says that guys got his dead grandma in the basement or some shit like that.

[ Ryuutaro sighs. ]

My home doesn't even have a ceiling light to leave on, remember? I do not have a problem with darkness. I am just convinced that if a place already has lights, they should as well be working - or else it'll give off a horrible impression.

Speaking of horrible impressions-

[ He steps into the room and wrinkles his nose. ]

this is not getting any better. If we encounter any spirits here, they surely will not be friendly. Who could be, in such conditions.

[ Seriously, this is such a gross room. He's kind of insulted they charge money for it - but then again they didn't.... really pay. So it's fine. He is starting to see more and more of the benefits in Gokudera's lifestyle and that's a problem. ]

[Gokudera sauntered into the room, eyeing this and that. Then Ryuutaro says something that catches his interest, and he has to try to hard not to let his inner fanboy take control.]

Wait, you think there actually might be spirits here or something?

['Cause a fortune teller would know that shit, wouldn't he?]

[ He opens his fan and shrugs. ]

I do not think it is as likely as finding spirits at more... spiritual places like temples, but it is not impossible either.

If so I doubt it would be alike to any horror movies though.

[ Ah yes, this is the kind of thing he can lure Gokudera in with, he should make note to use that some day. It's not like he considers finding spirits impossible either - but he doesn't think it would be too spectacular. As if spirits had nothing better to do than spook random humans. ]

S-seriously!?

[And Gokudera looks around the room with a new found interest and appreciation.]

Hey do you think someone died here or something?! I mean that guy out front was totally creepy, maybe he's some sort of psycho creeper or something!

If someone died here, I would hope the killer is no longer in close proximity.

[ Or the corpse for that matter. What do you take him for, a necromancer? ]

You get awfully excited about horrible things.

[Oh. He hadn't quite thought of those things as horrible. They totally are, but now he feels like a weirdo. So now he has to ~~pout~~ scowl about it and get defensive.]

Tch! I do not! It would just be a really important scientific breakthrough if we did discover one!

What now? If we discover a corpse or a killer, it would be more of a criminalistic minor success.

[ Ryuutaro chuckles and opens his fan. ]

And if we found a ghost searching vengeance, I doubt it would like you to perform any science. Real spirituality and science do not go so well together.

[ Fake spirituality is all science though, but it's not like he's going to speak about the many ways to fake being capable of magic. That's a business secret, you see? And a lot of hard work.

He looks over to the bed, contemplating to sit down on it, but then decides he doesn't trust it yet and sits down on a wooden unstable chair instead. ]

Edited (not the icon i wanted pfff) 2014-07-19 17:31 (UTC)

[Well, Gokudera sure as hell isn't hesitating the bed for a moment. He's been in worse places so he feels right at home. So he flops himself on the bed, and only once he is on the bed does he bother to kick off his shoes.

Bed's his now. It's officially claimed. He has left his mark on it.]

Tch! I'd only need proof that it exists! I could take a picture of it on my phone or something! Then maybe I could try and get it to help the Vongola!

How though?

[ Ryuutaro closes his fan thoughtfully, resisting to complain about Gokudera's attitude once more. ]

If the spirit could leave this foresaken please, I am sure it would - so if you find it now, then it likely can not leave and be of no use to the Vongola either.

Well, I'm sure if I help it, it'll be grateful to me. So it'll owe me a favor, obviously.

[He let's out a 'hmph!' as he folds his arms behind his head. Clearly that was such an obvious answer! What kind of fortune teller are to not know that much!?

Of course he was so preoccupied with his ~~stupidity~~ supernatural logic he didn't really notice the sounds of scraping and dragging coming from the room above.]

You are quite optimistic.

[ At this rate, he's almost wishing they'd encounter a cost, solely to see how an interaction between it and Gokudera would play out.
He leans back a bit, discovers his chair is unstable and almost falls over before he catches himself. What a wonderful place. It effectively distracts him from listening for a few seconds but when he gets off the treacherous chair he finally just stops mid-movement, silently, listening. ]
