/slams in with your promised Saturday meme

[agent-myra.livejournal.com]

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

1. Using a journal of a character you've considered apping at C&C, post a comment as if they're already in the game!
2. Tag around with others- potential characters or characters who are already in the game.
3. Get a better idea of how well they'd work out at C&C, and app or not app accordingly!
4. Get Cracky!

Myra hopes ya'll enjoy the meme. You can kill me in the threads for reserving it so damned early. I'd never get it posted before another went up, otherwise.

Admiring the 7-foot-tall green woman. ]

Hi. [An awkward little wave.] I'm Nightshade. And I'm not a zombie, so please stop trying to smash my head with blunt objects. In exchange, I promise no brains will be devoured! Thanks!

[bigreveal.livejournal.com]

Ah.

There you are.

[Have one frustrated kid sitting in an office. Principal's office to be exact. Again.]

Right. Can we all just agree that this whole school thing is complete BS? I aced my exams the first time around. Just because I'm in a permanent state of childhood does not mean I have to relearn how much our people screwed up "The New World" all over again.

Also, I want it on record that the last time I checked one is innocent until proven guilty of a crime, and that releasing a rat into its natural, safe environment is NOT a crime.

Hey there. I'm Fred, and I'm really hopin' one of you people can tell me how to get home 'cause I've got things to do there. And I mean, I've done the whole 'trapped in another dimension' thing and I don't think I really have time to do it again...



Though I suppose this is better than my cave, at least.



Right, anyway. I need to go home.

[BUTTONS. Holy crap, who ever knew pushing buttons could be SO FUN. Well, after a few seconds of button mashing, there is a face showing up!]

Ooh, hello, there's the screen! Funny little thing, this is, isn't it? [And a little pause while she peers closely at the screen, then pulls it back.]

Where have-will I ended up this time? This doesn't feel outside the universe, but it's not quite the same.

oh it's YOU

[daft_old_man]

It's not. It's a different universe altogether, unless you come from this universe but happen to live on the bubble...

[Peers at her]

Do you? Live on the outside that is.

Geez. They should be happy that I stopped the bomb in time. Who cares about the roof.

[boogaroos.livejournal.com]

Roofs are overrated. At least it's near summertime, the blokes in the building could use a little sunshine

[truest_soul]

[There's a person sitting outside the Porter building in a girl's school uniform looking completely lost]

This isn't anything like how it should be. We sleep, we dream, we wake up. I'm wearing this but my beads are gone, so I don't know if I'm dreaming or awake.

I'm not sure which would be worse.

[colorsintheair.livejournal.com]

[There's a cloud of blue-yellow-white hair clinging to a window above Mashiro. Wait, no, it's also a person.]

Must dreaming be very different than waking? You can make the flowers grow beautifully in either world.

[notmyarea.livejournal.com]

[Someone has picked up Michael's comm while he's at a bar, and is filming him dancing with a growing group of ladies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnx6r1G7mQQ). Surprisingly, this time it doesn't end up in a fight as he picks one, and the rest wander off, confused, back to their dates.]

Oh! Hey! Where'd you find that, sweetheart?

[He reaches out for the comm and smiles as both women sit on his lap. He lights a cigarette and smiles at the comm.]

Ah! It's so nice to be back! I didn't think I'd be able to, so soon. I'm not certain what reason it is this time, but while I'm waiting on orders, might as well have a little fun, right?

[namekian.livejournal.com]

[A green man with a rather eccentric cape and turban steps out from the porter building. This was unreal. The energy around him was unlike anything he had felt before. This place; it was too much.

All this crowding. It was hard to hear himself think. The presences in this city alone was a little overwhelming. He grunted, looking around. There had to be a place where he could find some quiet around here.]

[crabulous]

[An orange "man" in a lab coat and sandals scuttles down the sidewalk toward our green alien hero.]

You look lost! Not to worry! Doctor Zoidberg is here to help!

[shotyoudeadbang]

Ff.

This is new.

Anybody know where I can pick up a pack of smokes?

[shadowfields.livejournal.com]

Any gas station or corner store in a hundred mile radius?

super fabulous VIDEO POST

[flowerhatprince.livejournal.com]

[Kuranosuke is staring at the communicator, and appears to be standing in the check out lane in a high-end department store. The cashier behind him looks very unamused, and Kuranosuke himself looks highly distressed. Like all his dreams have been crushed :(]

My credit cards- [He takes a calming breath. It doesn't appear to help at all.]

My credit cards do not work here.

Video; EEEEEE

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

Miss? Has... anyone explained things yet?

[thunderbolthulk.livejournal.com]

Dammit.

Is this some other 'brilliant idea' from Banner? I don't care what he invents, that man will always be a milksop.

never had plans to app, but <3 T-bolt! (also <3 Elliot)

[mas-stretchy.livejournal.com]

[Banner turns a corner, just as confused as General Ross about how he ended up in the middle of a crowded city. His hood is up but he stops dead and stares when he sees that face, before trying to subtly turn another direction.]

[gotthatforfree.livejournal.com]

[So here's this scarred but well-dressed albino, idly shuffling cards for you, Network!]

Grounded again, eh? I generally hate these situations, knowing there are endless skies above me just begging for my attentions.

But I'm feeling lucky this time. I doubt I'll have to keep my land-legs long.

[diesarock]

You'll be airborne soon enough.

Setzer, right?

[burgerholic.livejournal.com]

[It is an accidental, thirty minute post of her eating hamburgers. Enjoy.]

[flowerhatprince.livejournal.com]

[After watching this for like, 15 minutes(it's mesmerizing ok), Kuranosuke has to say something.]

Wow. You can really put those away, huh.

[spidey2099.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Everything's so shockin' antiquated. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to stand the lack of maglev here... I mean, the combustion engine is still being used? What have you scientists been wasting your time on?

Upside, though... actual fresh air and open spaces. Maybe I can take that trade.

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

man we ain't getting no proper transportation overhaul till we get us a commie uprising or something similar and you know it

kill all oiled up capitalists and such

[NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo is walking and talking on his phone, not paying attention.]

Right, boss. Staff Sergeant Cooper was apparently below deck when the murder occurred, five witnesses have him yelling at a pair of clumsy KP rookies about, ah... [flips a page on his notepad] ... 'the chicken a la king being more like the chicken a la joker.' Bit of a strangled reference, boss. Something McGee might say. It sounds like Cooper, though. Maybe Gary Cooper would've said it in one of his lesser efforts... although it's hard to top 'High Noon,' right, boss? One man protecting a cowardly town from an oncoming slaughter because it's the right thing to do... inspiring and depressing at the same time. Classic.

...

Right, boss. So Cooper's clean, but we've got Corporal Smuthers as a potential suspect, the alibi is shaky and how the hell am I suddenly on Broadway in New York?

Wait... this isn't Times Square... but it's kind of...

Okay, I'm freaking out. Officially. Boss, are you there? Did I just step into the Twilight Zone, or did Ashton Kutcher's 'Butterfly Effect' really affect me? Boss?

Gibbs?

What are you talking about?

[Uncle is practically shouting into the comm. He thinks louder means it will go further.]

Jackieeeee!

Jade has switched labels in Uncle's shop again! I try to make a spell for curing sore feet, and end up in a different city with a strange talking computer lady!

[boughtitall.livejournal.com]

An interesting version of reality.

FINE I'LL TAG YOU

[hexappeal]

You've been to uninteresting ones?

[awitchwithab.livejournal.com]

I'm like, an inch away from going Darth Vader on that Porter.

[bigreveal.livejournal.com]

And you haven't even gone through it really fucking with you yet.

[ video ]

[colorsintheair.livejournal.com]

Well met, Sir City. Please allow me to thank you for allowing me to visit. I know it is intentioned to be the other way around, but may I welcome you to me?

[boozebot]

Are you going to give out any welcome gifts, perchance?

[fireinthehero.livejournal.com]

[One faaaaaaabulous black dude. Getting all greasemonkey on... what appears to be some souped up F1 car.]

Of all the things for that machine to leave behind, of course it has to be my car... they either get shot up or left behind, or...

[timeforaparty.livejournal.com]

Hey hey hey hey hey what is this thing? I mean there was a button on it that said something well actually there were three but these letters are all kinda weird don't you think or I think they're letters just because there doesn't seem to be much else that they could be but that's not important because I hope it's doing something!

I look silly. Do you think I look silly? I think I look silly, just look at me, I'm a different color and my head is the wrong shape and I guess I have dragon claw things now instead of hooves like a normal pony-

[GASP]

WAITWAITWAIT

Does that mean I'm a dragon now?

Huh. I don't really feel like a dragonnnn... I kinda look like one though, I guess, except all the dragons I've ever heard of have scales. If I don't have scales than that's pretty silly.

Anyway.

That voice in the box said that I was supposed to be a hero now, and that I was in the City, but it didn't bother saying WHAT city! I mean I know that I've lived in Ponyville for a while now, but this still doesn't look like anywhere else that I've been, or even heard of. All these funny dragon things like I am now are walking around.

You know, if I had to change like this then I'm glad I stayed pink because pink is my favorite color, well it's a little disappointing that I'm a different shade of pink now because that was my FAVORITE pink, but oh well.

Anyway, being a hero sounds like tons of fun, but if I don't get back home soon I'll miss the Grand Galloping Gala and I just can't do that, it's the biggest party in all of Equestria! And I've never been able to go before! And I can't seem to figure out where I am all by myself, which is kind of weird. It's that famous Pie sense of direction, Grandma always says!

... nobody's saying anything.

Am I using this thing right?

[fliesacomet260.livejournal.com]

You're using it correctly, yeah.

I think.

[givetobehuman.livejournal.com]

I would like to speak to whoever is in charge.

[professorlionface]

[Tries not to flail or be badly behaved, but goddamn this is Data!]

Oh my stars and garters, hello!
Ah, there isn't...actually anyone in charge so much, save the mayor, but the one responsible for sending you here is possibly the closest approximation of such a role. That would be the Porter machine that brought you here itself, and the AI that maintains it.

She's known as Lachesis.
