*Pulls up in a van*
Anyone up for a road trip?
"I'm in and i call shotgun" jumping in the van
Topher jumps onto the hood of the car. "Yoohoo!!!" I call the roof!
*Is walking by when she hears the mention of a roadtrip*
Ooooh! Ill bring the chips!
*Hops into back seat of van with a sackful of various chippies of all types of flavors, including some which should never be mentioned!*
Ok!
*Chaos looks into the back seat, and check seating room.*
We got ourselves about two more seats in the car... Make that one! (A have a cooler with space in it, space that needs to be filled with BEER!)
Anyone Else!!!
*Other People and other cars are allowed. Just to say, this RP is as Open as Open can be*
A female black cat being and her companion (a male full ferret) see the car and people getting in it.
“Let’s get on there,” the ferret says.
“Why?” the cat asks.
“Well, let’s see… We’re lost with no money and no supplies.”
“We have my bat.”
“Good idea!” the ferret says sarcastically, “We can eat it and wash your clothes with it and sleep in it and…”
“Okay, fine. You win.”
The ferret climbs up onto the cat’s shoulder. The cat then walks over to the car and says to the people inside, “Hi! We kinda need a lift to the nearest anywhere but here.”
“Couldn’t you have specified a more detailed location?”
“Why? It’s not like I have a home to get to. I used to have a cave, but evil robots invaded that one and nearly captured me.”
Cave? Cool, gots meself one of those...
*Car turns on*
Anyone else?
*Sirius grimaces at the mention of robots, looking up from her bag of cool ranch doritos*
Eeeeeew, nasty critters those! Never a bolt of lightning when ya need one! And they dont melt in a good fire when they should!
*To illustrate her point she wreathes a few fingers in fllmae, a slightly maniachal gleam in her eye, before putting out the flames and digging into her bag of potatoes and chips.
Want some chips?
5? In a van?
What sort of wussy van have you got, there? Most decent vans you can fit 9 or so people in... if you don't mind being a bit friendly...
... and, after all, with a road trip, surely you'll all be friends by the time we finish...
Mind if I tag along? I brought a cooler full of drinks if anyone gets thirsty. But before we get going, we should make sure everyone's used the restroom. Don't want to be stopping every 30 minutes.
“Thanks. I am gettin’ kinda hungry,” the cat says to Sirius.
“Don’t forget your friendly neighborhood ferret,” the ferret says.
Then the last person says his peace.
“Oh, we’re okay on that. Do you have any orange soda?” the cat responds.
"MMmmm Soda... Any Mountain Dew?" Turning around to see everyone in the back.
i'm reading a lot activity here that seems to indicated a road trip. am i right? i never did get dad to install a road trip sensor in me but doc light did this his pirate and ninja sensors... he has drunk enough to drop a bull elephant when he did though so i'm not sure which is which so either there's a road trip in the works here a ninja strike about to go down ore a pirate attack in the works.... regardless i want in
“Doclight? Who’s Doclight?” the cat says, now seated within the van.
“Doctor Light, not Doclight,” the ferret says from atop her shoulder. He then says to E, “Yes, this is a road trip.”
cool i want in. e teleports in his civilian garb (http://www.geocities.com/eliander_valderen/bassplain.PNG) so do we have a destination or are we just randomly wondering around?
“No idea,” the cat says.
*Waves to Hazmat* Drinks would be awesome, chips do get salty!
*Passes chips storange container towards ferret and cat* Take any kind you want, enjoy!
*Grins broadly* I hope its random, lots of fun things happen during random trips! But we need some tunes, whohas the music?
“Car radio,” the ferret says.
“Or ‘wheels on the bus’,” the cat says.
“Charm, that is the worst form of torture ever created.”
Charm then proceeds to sing the Meow Mix song.
“Stop. You made your point. ‘Wheels on the bus’ is the second worst form of torture ever created,” the ferret says.
Charm stops the singing.
and here i was going to launch into 99 bottles.
“No, you were not,” the ferret says irritably.
“Meow. Calm down, Kane,” Charm says.
I like the Meow mix song... Come on everyone sing
*Meow meow meow meow... (you guys know how to sing it)

"No, you were not," the ferret says irritably.
"Meow. Calm down, Pan," Charm says.
huh? an why wouldn't it? it'sa tridition song for the anoyance of compaly durin a car trip.
*OOC: Darn it. Forgot that I already gave the name “Pan” to another character. I must edit that name.*
*OOC: Done. His name is now “Kane”.*
Kane quickly goes to the car radio and turns it on, only to hear the Meow Mix song on the radio. “I can’t win.”
"no you can but i can. " was his hand over the radio only to have it started playing classical instrumental music. " well maybe i can't but this is better then that"
Charm looks as if she is in heaven now. “Meow…”
“Charm, you can’t seriously like this stuff.”
E laughed . well Dr. wright liked rock and roll and Dr. wily liked heavy metal... he also liked show tunes but we don't really talk about that.
Charm begins to pur. She closes her eyes and appears to fall asleep.
*Ears fold down and every hair goes up on end at the sound of the meow mix song*
Thats like the Lampchop song! You know, the one that goes 'This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends! Some people, started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because, This is the... dangit!"
*Goes back into eating potato chips and tries to get song out of head*
Charm is still purring, though she does actually seem to be truly asleep.
"Outta gas?" said Haz, noticing the van hadn't moved an inch.
The purring stops slowly.
“Oh great, now she’s asleep. With robots on our tails, we do not need sleep right now,” Kane says. He goes over to the car radio and turns on some heavy metal.
“HUZZAVUZZA!” Charm yells as she quickly wakes up. She probably would have bumped her head on the car roof if she weren’t buckled up.

"Outta gas?" said Haz, noticing the van hadn't moved an inch.
"Gas? what is this gas? " Ask E uncertain. " is it like skull copter fuel that Wily still uses? i still say he should upgrade to a power core myself though"
“Power core? What’s that?” Charm asks.
"depended on what universe you in. in some it's a self controlled fusion reaction pretty much like a min star but in others it's an orb of super conductive material. int all honestly i'm not sure why it changes but it seems that the rules of local physics must be observed at least to an degree. " E says with a smile
“Okay… so, what does that mean?” Charm asks.
“It’s creates power,” Kane says.
Topher hops off the top of the van, well, I just realized I have a doctors appointment...TOODLES!
With that Topher took off in a flash.
*OOC: Mind if I speed things along and get us moving?*
( OOC. Go for it i'll try and keep up)
Kane looks out the back window and a look of fear finds its way upon his face. “Guys, we need to get moving! Now!”
“What is it?” Charm asks.
“HunterBots, behind us.”
“Yikes! We do need to get moving. The hunterbots aren’t fast enough to keep up with a car, I’ll bet.”
*OOC: And the car ride begins, as does a small plot arc, if the DM doesn’t mind.*
"hunters? have we been labeled mavericks or something?"
“Labeled whats?” Charm asks, completely confused.
“I have no idea what a maverick is, but HunterBots are basically robots meant to hunt down those of good alignment. They were created by this guy named ‘Sardor’, who is pretty much your generic bad guy. It’s weird, though. Last I checked, the guy couldn’t even work a microwave, much less design anything like that. Maybe he got help.”
*OOC: Is there a single bad guy I’ve created that was NOT a generic bad guy?*
"I'll save us!" says Haz as he proceeds to jump out of the moving van. Unfortunately, and without his knowledge, the van happened to be passing over a bridge. Haz fell to his death and left the thread.
:<
Hazzy noo!. don't organics know that they can't be rebuilt easily?
*OOC: O…kay…*
“He’s alive… isn’t he?” Charm asks.
“Oh, don’t worry. He’s just fine,” Kane lies. He has quite a remarkable poker face.
E looks dubious. "are you sure" but still E feels he should give Kain a chance first. maybe Kain knows something about hazzy that he doesn't know.
Kane goes up to E and whispers in his ear. “No, but if Charm knew that he’s dead, she’d be devistated from it, which would mess with her fighting skills and we’d never hear the end of her ‘I should have…’ speech. Okay, so maybe that’s bit of an exaggeration, but I still think we shouldn’t tell her.”
E shivers and nods. he's encounter the phenomenon before.
“Hey look, I can’t see the HunterBots anymore. We did it!” Charm says.
Not the Hazzy! *Sirius looks out, pouts*
*She folds her arms a moment, shaking her head* Hazzy... ya know those sharks dont need to be fed so early...
*sighs and munches on a pasmesan and garlic pringles chip*

"Hey look, I can't see the HunterBots anymore. We did it!" Charm says.
"My job here is done." says an echo-y disembodied voice.
“Wow, how is he doing that?” Charm asks.
“All smoke and mirrors, I’m sure,” Kane lies.
“Smoke? I don’t smell any smoke. Though there are quite a few mirrors around.”
“It’s an expression, Charm.”
In the distance, another HunterBot can be seen on the road we’re traveling. As we draw nearer, it says, “Surrender now or be term…” The van runs the HunterBot over, effectively destroying it.
“Sardor needs to get some sturdier robots,” Charm says.
*Sirius's eyes widen* That is one cool trick... unless... what if he really IS a ghost?!?
*Looks around* Ya aint a ghost now Hazzy are ya? *Munches on chips a bit faster, still looking around*
*Raises a brow as bot is run over* Wonder how the Road crews will handle THAT mess...
“Really a ghost? So he is dead?” Charm says.
is he like the pac-man ghost? doe he simply return home to put on a new body? if so then he may be more like me then i thought.
“Meow? You’re a ghost?” Charm exclaims.
“I’m gonna eat you. Wakka wakka wakka.” Kane jokes as he slowly walks toward E. He then bites down very softly on the cloth of E’s jacket.
“But Pac-Kane, you forgot to eat a super-pellet.”
“Oh no! Ack… Life fading before very eyes… tell Ms. Pac-Kane that… that…”
Charm and Kane both begin to laugh.
“Oh, Kane. You always know how to lighten the mood.” Charm says, smiling. But then she seems sad once more. “But still, that poor guy.”
*Sorry, Pulled a Real life there. If it happens in the future, just assume that I'll drive where wanted. Don't mind minor control over my character.*
Sorry about that folks... car stalled...
*Car starts speeding down the street.*
So... should I see where this road ends or any turns someone wants to make on the way?
"I vote for a see where this road ends." Goes over to the radio and changes the channel trying to find one that one everyone likes. "Ahh, video games hummor... I love it" Still changing the channels.
As they drive down the road, a figure appears on the horizon. Getting closer, the road-trippers see that it's a tall, skinny otter furre wearing overalls and... a helmet? ... standing on the side of the road and is also holding something. At about 25 feet away they can tell that the furre is male and it's not a helmet, but a pair of ram horns that curve back and wind their way to the back of his neck. For some reason he has a large piece of duct tape over his mouth and the something he's holding is a simple cardboard sign with Keep Going written in orange paint.
Charm pokes her head out the window to see, only to quickly retract it. “How can dogs stand doing that?”
"that was illogical. still one mus wonder why a bound figure would suggest that we maintain pace instead of lending assistance. mayhaps it is a trap further down the road."
“Reverse psychology taking over… We gotta stop the car and find out.”
E groans. "Oh dear what have i started."
“Something innane and/or wacky, I’m sure,” Kane says.
"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?
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.*
"Is it really a good ideal to stoop? i mean this has B movie plot all over it"
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
:blankstare "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.
"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."
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.
*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)
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 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!"
(OOC: I give you exibit A, llearch n'n'daCorna = proof that cardboard has never obeyed physics on this forum :3)
*hops out, runs to tent, grabs large suitcase, runs back*
Cardboard Sign: thanks, now where's the grape soda! *flips* Beer + driving = Fun‼!!
no now don't say that. beer is the worst tasting not waste product substance it has ever been my displeasure to taste.
"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*
“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 groans at the lame joke. " can we please leave the comedy to those that get paid for it?"

"I wonder. Does this mean that if I want to know what you're thinking, I should ask ֲ'what's your sign'?" Charm jokes.
:giggle
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. ;)
“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 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?"
"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.*
"Don't worry, it's caffinated."
“Does that mean it has no alcohol, though?” Kane asks.
I say..... *flip* pardon, read that you should see for yourself. :cheers
"Caffination makes me Sane and the alcohol makes me no jittery. It works. So, who wants dinner?"
"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.
a food stop? but we've barely begun our trip. ah you organics. you really should have better fuel maintenance systems designed for you.
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...
sighs. how about pizza hut? they ten to have antique music machines that i can used to pass the time while you all eat.
"Empty stomach? I don't care if you have an empty stomach, full stomach, or four stomachs. If you're gonna drink, hand the wheel to someone else," Kane says.
"Um, Kane? Are you sure it's wise to argue with the guy who's bailing us out of big trouble?" Charm asks.
