The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 02-27-2021
In an unnamed town in the middle of nowhere, a large, somewhat clunky car noisily skids to a halt. A lanky young adult by the name of CustardAndPie pops out to check the engine, banging on the hood to get it open.
As they check the engine, they start singing to themselves:
"Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale
And it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about twenty, so come on
And bring your jukebox money!"

Meanwhile, at the back of the car, a young girl named Geek hums along while drawing something on her sketchbook.

A woozy-looking kid tries to stagger out of their seat near the back, but just ends up faceplanting into the seat in front of them. Zorua peels himself off of the chair and dazedly mumbles something about the “goddamn carsickness genes”.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Cassie - 02-27-2021
Hook gun in hand, bobbit worm 'round his neck, and a pack by his hip, Libre hops in before asking if it's okay to bring such an exotic pet for the trip.

Commander Yammark, having nothing better to do, boards the car as well. As a Reploid, she wants to learn more about the human world. Knowledge is key to surviving in this harsh world, got it.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Dookie - 02-28-2021
“Quinn”, better known as Dookie, an 11 year old child with long, black hair, is on the roof of the car, playing guitar in sync with the song.

Matthew, something of a big guy, wakes up and finds himself in the trunk of the car. He bangs his fists against the trunk, hoping to get someone's attention.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - josh6243 - 02-28-2021
Commander Yammark hears the fists slamming against the car's interior and attempts to open the trunk. She's clearly concerned with this person's well-being.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Despair's Archon of Memes - 02-28-2021
A young adult known only by the initials of M.P. is sitting in the back of the car as well. He's trying to fit both himself and his two comically oversized luggage bags into the truck, eventually opting to actually lie on top of the bags themselves.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - PointMaid - 02-28-2021
The woman calling herself PointMaid finds a seat and stows the backpack with all her essentials at her feet. It's not a huge hiking backpack, but on her it might as well be. She uses the bag as something of a footrest. Then she gets out her phone and tries to get a signal to check the GPS. Where are they?
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - KungFuCutbug - 02-28-2021
[A short, skinny winged humanoid with frizzy dark blonde hair, purple glasses, and a large name tag emblazoned on the back of their shirt reading “KungFuCutbug” strolls nearby, whistling a song to themself. When they catch sight of the car and all of the people already inside it, they stand there wondering if it would be a good idea to join them... After a while, they shrug and move over to the car, asking if they had permission to tag along. If there wasn't enough room in the car, they could simply fly behind it.]
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 02-28-2021
Custard looks up to see the new people joining.
"Hey! Y'all need a ride?" they say, now performing percussive maintenance on the engine itself.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Guma - 02-28-2021
A stumpy two-dimensional cube sat in the back, as hey is wont to do, carrying a Switch with Dragon Quest XI S inside.
So where are we even going?
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - PointMaid - 02-28-2021
"Beats me, I can't get a GPS signal. Did anyone see a road sign recently?"
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Mr. Lee Hammer - 02-28-2021
Matthew flies out of the trunk of the car, looking very wet. “How long was I in there? How did I get in here? Look at me. Must have been hours. I probably lost 50 pounds in there.”
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 02-28-2021
"Well," Custard says after getting the engine working with a few whacks, "I was trying to get all of us to the Promised Land this old guy in an alley told me about.... aaaaaaannnnd then we got lost. Somehow."
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - KungFuCutbug - 02-28-2021
“Promised land, huh?” [Cutbug's eyes glimmer briefly, their interest piqued.] “Shame you got lost, but uh... I'm sure you'll find a way there. Mind if I tag along? I can just follow behind you if there's not enough room in the car.” [They stretch their wings.]
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 03-01-2021
"Oh, absolutely! Hop on in, there's plenty of room!"
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Guma - 03-01-2021
What's in the Promised Land? Riches? Food? Opportunities? Maybe even a plate of Spadinner?
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - Mr. Lee Hammer - 03-01-2021
"Guess I'll go too. Got nothing else better to do. Plus I am a little intrigued about this 'Promised Land'". Matthew heads into the car.
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - artsyGeek - 03-01-2021
The young girl's interest was piqued when Custard mentioned "promised land".
"A promised land? What is it like?"
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 03-01-2021
"I dunno, he never told me. He did, however...." Custard trails off, rummaging through their shorts pocket before pulling out a piece of paper, "...give me the coordinates." The ink had been smeared from being jostled and bent in a pocket, making the coordinates difficult to read. "Well, shit"
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - KungFuCutbug - 03-01-2021
“Oh, there's room? Sweet!” [Cutbug skips over to the car and hops right in.]
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - PointMaid - 03-01-2021
"...And, as I said, I can't seem to get GPS out here. Should we look for a hotel or campground for the night, or just pull over on the side of the road, you think?"
RE: The Great Trouble Cube Road Trip - MadeOfMilk - 03-01-2021
"I'd say look for a motel, a lot cheaper. Problem is, we've gotta find one." Custard says, getting into the car and pulling a well-loved road map from the glove compartment.
