Road Trip

[Joat]

“Reverse psychology taking over… We gotta stop the car and find out.”

[e_voyager]

E groans. "Oh dear what have i started."

[Joat]

“Something innane and/or wacky, I’m sure,” Kane says.

[Chaos]

"I have a solution, Someone take the wheel."

*Zing*

Suddenly, the driver's seat of the car is empty as it speeds by the pedestrian, who must have been confused at the sudden screaming in the car.

*Zing*

"Hi, Nice to meet ya. Chaos is the name. Whacha doin' out here, eh? Can't talk? Let me get that tape offa your mouth."

*RRIIP!*

"What's ya story there?

[Joat]

Charm goes over to the driver’s seat.

“Charm, you have no knowledge of how to drive. How do you plan to drive if you don’t know how?” Kane says.

“I’ll learn,” Charm says as she grabs the wheel, “I mean, how hard can it be?”

Charm puts her foot down on the pedal. The car slows and stops. “Meow? Why did it stop when I pushed the gas?”

“Maybe because that was the brake, Charm,” Kane says.

*OOC: That’s the safest driving I’ve ever seen.*

[e_voyager]

"Is it really a good ideal to stoop? i mean this has  B movie plot  all over it"

[Joat]

Charm blushes. “Okay, then this must be the gas.” She puts her foot on the gas pedal. The car begins to move again, but at dangerously high speeds. “OMIGOD! OMIGOD! OMIGOD! I’m gonna die!” Charm yells. she puts her foot down on the brake. The car stops quickly. Kane, who is too small to use the seat belt, is sent flying toward the back of the seat in front of him and falls down onto the floorboards.

“Ow! For crying out loud, Charm! ‘How hard can it be’, eh? Geez, what were you aiming for, the speed of sound?” Kane says irritably.

“Um… I think someone else should take the wheel now,” Charm says, her ears folded back in embarrassment.

*OOC: That is no longer the safest driving I have ever seen.*

The otter jumps around holding his face but strangly makes no noise.  After a few seconds he comes back to Chaos and still covering his face with one hand, flips over his cardboard sign which reads "AAAAAAHHHH!  OOOOUUUCH!  ow ow ow ow!" in more orange paint.  Seeing the confused look on Chaos's face the otter flips over the sign again to reveal that the words "keep going" have changed into
"Put. It. Back."

looking up, Chaos sees the otter has removed his hand from his face to reveal only a nose, NO MOUTH! One more turn of the cardboard shows yet another new messege "The tape doesn't cover my mouth, my mouth covers the tape"

Once he gets the tape back, the otter sticks it on his face.  A horizontal tear in the tape widens into a warm, kind smile and opens as the otter then says "thank you, the name's Dens...I got ditched up the road by some friends earlier after falling asleep in their car and another sign would have told you to stop by a tent set up where i woke up" in a voice of scraping metal and glass.

[Chaos]

"Ya know, I've seen many thing, including a world where all the men were woman and vice versa (that one was fun to watch), This is new to me...

Kidnapping you now!"

*ZING*

***
In the car, An otter lands in an empty seat in the back, while Chaos lands in the front seat... on top of Charm...

"Sorry, Pal. Oh dear, this has to be that social awkwardness I was told to avoid... oh dear indeed."

[Joat]

A very large hammer appears in Charm’s left hand, only to disappear when Chaos voices his apologies. “Forgiven.”

“Now, please take the wheel from Charm now,” Kane says.

[Tiny crested flint]

*holds up the sign*  "could we stop at the tent up the road? I need to grab..."  *flips sign* "my gear, it's by the formation of..."

(OOC: what kind of road are we on? just finish my prompt "the formation of... rocks, ice, trees, cactus, traffic cones, cookies? you tell me)

[Chaos]

Just then Chaos stops the car, causing it to to a 720, and stops by a formation of tree.s

"Got it, the big rock by the trees. Need to pick up Acme stuff for the signs, or are we just going to keep questioning the laws of physics. Which I do all the time mind you. Hurry up then, and all who want to go, go now. And for the love of god, toss me a beer!"

[e_voyager]

E is torn between calling out somebody save me and ranting. in the end he decided to rant and with the beer he had his subject. "Make me a Sergent and charge the booze and i'll take over. make me a sergeant and charger the booze. make me a sergeant and charge the booze!"

[Tiny crested flint]

(OOC: I give you exibit A, llearch n'n'daCorna = proof that cardboard has never obeyed physics on this forum  )

*hops out, runs to tent, grabs large suitcase, runs back*

Cardboard Sign: thanks, now where's the grape soda! *flips* Beer + driving = Fun‼!!

[e_voyager]

no now don't say that. beer is the worst tasting not waste product substance it has ever been my displeasure to taste.

[Chaos]

"Try a good lager then...

So you got no mouth and use signs to speak, You seem like that you might have the chance of bein' interesting. Anything else we should know about you?"

*Chaos Peels out*

[Joat]

“I wonder. Does this mean that if I want to know what you’re thinking, I should ask ֲ‘what’s your sign’?” Charm jokes.

[e_voyager]

e groans at the lame joke. " can we please leave the comedy to those that get paid for it?"

[Tiny crested flint]

"I wonder. Does this mean that if I want to know what you're thinking, I should ask ֲ'what's your sign'?" Charm jokes.

Cardboard Sign: You only need to know that *flips* I can make my sign read in other languages if needed, *flips* this suitcase is full of fireworks that I made, *flip* and this is my 56th time to catch a ride hitchhiking, so I've *flip* got some tricks for rides. 

[Joat]

“I just thought of something. Are we endangering these people?” Charm whispers to Kane. Unfortunately, and without her knowledge, her whispers are audible to anyone who listens very closely.

“What are you talking about?” Kane whispers back. His whispers are not audible.

“The HunterBots are after me and they wouldn’t think twice about killing anyone who tries to help me. Hazzy already died because of the HunterBots.”

“Charm, that guy died because he wasn’t smart enough to look before leaping.”

[Chaos]

*Chaos looks over his shoulder*

"I wouldn't worry. In al reality, I'm not the saftest guy to be around, either. Specifically, I cause stuff to happen. Been kicked out'a one or more casino cause of that. We all got reasons to run. We all gots reasons to have trouble following us. Drink up, me hearties. Enjoy the moment and run like all hell when the shit hits the fan!"

Chaos leans back and takes a pull off of his beer.

"So, let's talk. Anyone have some good stories to tell?"

[Joat]

"Um... should you really be drinking and driving like that?" Charm says.

"You really aren't safe, that's for sure," Kane says.

*OOC: As you see here, Kane is more blunt than Charm.*

[Chaos]

"Don't worry, it's caffinated."

[Joat]

“Does that mean it has no alcohol, though?” Kane asks.

[Tiny crested flint]

I say..... *flip* pardon, read that you should see for yourself.

[Chaos]

"Caffination makes me Sane and the alcohol makes me no jittery. It works. So, who wants dinner?"

[Joat]

"Dinner? Well, I suppose we could stop for some food," Charm says.

"Yes, please. If you're gonna get drunk, you should not be driving while doing so," Kane says.

[e_voyager]

a food stop? but we've barely begun our trip. ah you organics. you really should have better fuel maintenance systems designed for you.

[Chaos]

Who says it's a matter of energy. I'm just thinking I might was to get some food in me so this guy won't start complaining about the fact that I'm drinking on an empty stomach!!!. So what'll be? Wendy's? Harvey's, Arbies? Or some place that doesn't pretend to be owned by a single person...

[e_voyager]

sighs. how about pizza hut? they ten to have antique music machines that i can used to pass the time while you all eat.
