[meme] Reverse Test Drive

[citycouncil]

Requested by Kes (and a few others)!

On the fifteenth of every month, we have a Test Drive meme for all your future pup needs. However, several of you have been clamoring to try out a twist on that old, familiar theme!

Tag in with pups you currently play, and then tag others with pups you're contemplating apping in the future or just want to try out! This way, you can get the interactions you might want, between your future pups and those already in play! This month, you get twice the Test Drive fun.

HAVE FUN!

I made a mistake, Hernando. I'm stuck here and I cannot fix it. I cannot fix it here, but I want to. I want to fix things, help Dani, be strong enough.

I never meant to be a coward, Hernando, but I'm weak.

[nowyousaysomething]

You say all these things on camera, about love and passion and tenderness, but then you deny me and her and...what am I supposed to think, Lito?

[artoflove]

I'm scared. I'm scared that all the things I fought for, for years, will vanish if people discover the real me.

Only, I'm beginning to think that my career means nothing at all to me if I'm alone.

The house is so empty and all the voices in my head are gone. And you? Are you okay? What are you doing? What have you been doing?

[nowyousaysomething]

Is it worth it? All those people out there love you for something that's made up. I love you for what's real. I would never judge you and never be ashamed of you.

I hoped that that would matter more someday.

...

I'm. I'm okay. My friend's apartment is too quiet and he hates ceviche.

What voices? You mean the crying Korean woman?

[artoflove]

I do not know anymore. I do not know if it is worth it, when the only thing I want is to hear you tell me why my movies mean something.

I went to our museum. I sat there and tried to think about what mattered most, and then I tried to call you. The hot tub doesn't work and I lost a flip flop.

It's only a figure of speech, my head is spinning.

I miss your ceviche.

[nowyousaysomething]

The greatest role you've ever played is the one that cost us the most. I don't know how to forgive that without...without some action, something real.

Our museum. I like the sound of that.

And yes, I noticed that I had several voice mails. Presumably increasingly drunk.

[artoflove]

I know that I need to do something. I'm just very confused about what to do when I am here and I cannot go and find Dani and get her away from Joaquin. Or to call someone on him, I do not know what to do.

I know I need to fix my mistake. I don't know how.

I miss you so much, querido, I love you

[nowyousaysomething]

Why can't you? Are you really trapped here?

Am I trapped here?

I still love you, Lito. But I can't live this kind of life anymore.

[artoflove]

I cannot come home. I cannot go anywhere. I am here, only here, and so alone.

If you come here, you would be trapped, but I would do my best to show you that I am not scared. Well, maybe only a little scared. I want to be an actor, I want to still be famous, but I cannot imagine life without you. I cannot remember life before you.

[nowyousaysomething]

You don't have to pretend to be something you're not around me. You never do.

But that isn't the issue. Being trapped, that is a problem. Especially with unresolved business.

[artoflove]

You are so far away from me. I cannot fix anything here, but I know I must.

I know I must get Dani back, I know I must show you that I am not a coward.

[nowyousaysomething]

That is something.

What have you been doing here? Not losing more flip flops I hope.

[artoflove]

Getting back into modelling, I think. I will try and find a new role again. People have been trying to help me adjust, but it is very hard. My English is still not so good.

[nowyousaysomething]

Practice. My English is rusty too but it will be just like running lines.

[artoflove]

Maybe I can convince you to become a famous actor, too.

[nowyousaysomething]

No, no. That's not for me.

[artoflove]

It could be for you. You are the most handsome man I have ever met.

[nowyousaysomething]

You are biased.

And I would rather be behind a camera or away from it entirely. Unless I was on your arm at the red carpet, then I might go in front.

[artoflove]

I am only biased because it's true and you are the most perfect thing I have ever seen.

Perhaps you would direct. Or write?

[nowyousaysomething]

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Or maybe I could be a good house-husband and wait for you with dinner on the table every night.

[artoflove]

I do not think that you would like it very much, not without something more to do.

Hernando, I want to make this right between us. More than anything, I want to be the hero I am so often playing.

[nowyousaysomething]

I don't even need a hero. I don't need you to go in somewhere guns blazing.

I just want...I want to go out to dinner without being your body guard or your 'friend.' I want to be by your side at premieres instead of some bimbo I helped you choose–Daniela exempted from that name.

[artoflove]

I need to learn how to be brave like that, but my heart belongs to one person and one person only.

I will get there, Hernando. I swear it.

[nowyousaysomething]

At its essence, that is all I want.

[artoflove]

You are all I want.
