Road Trip Meme
The Road Trip Meme
Summer is upon us, and that means a good chunk of people are now spending their newfound free time cramped in a small metal box on wheels to find some fun somewhere else. But even just short trips across a town can have hazards, and if you would rather deal with road hazards on the web instead of real life this is the Meme for you!
Rules:
1. Open the RNG and roll a number from 1-5 to pick why you're traveling, or just pick one that sounds fun, no pressure.
2. Post with your character. Please put their name, canon, games (optional), and the number you rolled for easy access.
3. Tag onto other people and roll 1-7 for the relationship.
4. Go back and forth rolling for road hazards as needed.
5. Sit back and watch the light show (and hope it's not from your car catching fire).
Reason for Travel:
1. Holiday: Christmas, summer vacation, spring break, whatever the reason, you are out to have some kind of fun away from your regular life. Just go easy on the booze.
2. Moving: New house, new job, new city. Now if only it wasn't so far away from where the old one was. Hope you secured all your stuff in the trailer.
3. Visiting family: Maybe it's a birthday, maybe it's a reunion, maybe you woke up in Vegas with a ring on your finger and would rather introduce the now spouse in person. Any reason is a good reason to go see relatives.
4. Convention: For work or for fun, conventions and conferences are great places to go to and meet like-minded people and learn new things. Just so long as everyone remembers to take a shower.
5. Something completely different: Choose any of the above, or make up your own! Have some fun with it.
Relationship:
1. Roommates: College roommate, flatmate, maybe just your next door neighbor. Why did they decide staying with you in a small metal box was a good idea?
2. Friends: This person is your best bud ever, but they sing one more Queen song at the top of their lungs, you will affectionately punch them in the face.
3. Lovers: Maybe you've been married for years, maybe you're only dating, maybe this is that mentioned spouse from Vegas. Either way, if you don't stop at the next gas station, you and the honey will be having words.
4. Parent/Child: Boy, if you ask "are we there yet" one more time I am kicking you out and you are walking there.
5. Sibling: MOM! He's touching me! Or if you are too old for those sorts of teasings you could always play "I spy".
6. Hitch-hiker: Why did you let this person in your car again? For all you know they could be a crazed psycho that pick victims by car color. Or an alien, who's to say?
7. Random: Pick from above, or make up your own, previous CR is always love.
Road Hazards and Events:
1. Car trouble: Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away~ There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with this car you are driving. Why are you traveling in it? Either way, something's not working right, AGAIN, and now you'll just have to deal with it however you can.
2. Lost: Remember that left you needed to take at Albuquerque? Well you missed it at some point. Time to break out the map. Or, you know, just ASK for directions.
3. Diner: Hey, you have to stop and eat at some point. Relax a bit, eat some food- IS THAT A FLY IN MY COFFEE?
4. Road work: Not the same as lost, you know EXACTLY where you are, some idiot just decided today would be a good day to fix that old bridge you need to cross. Hope someone remembered to put up detour signs.
5. Weather: Snow storms, ice, rain, tornadoes, triple digit heat, killer tumbleweeds, SOMETHING in nature doesn't like you today. Slow down before the things hitting you make you hit something.
6. Cops: You found a speed trap, or maybe you did an illegal u-turn, or maybe there's a car wreck that you may or may not be involved in. Either way you've got law enforcement breathing down your neck. Hope you don't have anything illegal in there.
7. Emergency stop: No, you don't understand, I need to go to the bathroom NOW! Or maybe someone just wanted to take pictures of the landscape, who knows.
8. Wildcard: Chose from above or just make up your own! Anything can happen in the middle of no-where, and I think that cow just looked at me funny.
