Remember the road trip meme from my (and several other people's) journal? Well, here I've gone and drawn pictures for a non-drawing meme. It just filled my head with such entertaining pictures of my characters, I had to put them on paper!

I didn't draw things for all the questions, and I added one or two things, but here it is anyway, some snapshots from the road trip I took with ten of my characters recently. Enjoy!

For reference, I'll repost the meme here:

"The story so far...
You've somehow acquired a magical dimension-splicing conversion van and are planning an epic cross-country road trip with your friends and fandom. First, pick ten travel buddies from anywhere - real life, fiction, OCs, celebrities, whatever. Then answer these questions to see how cracktastic your adventure turns out to be."

0. Artoveli

1. Cyan [link]
2. Felix [link]
3. Plague Doctor [link]
4. Oleander [link]
5. Lenore [link]
6. Monroe (no picture)
7. The Goat-eyed Man [link]
8. Edgar [link]
9. Flying Robert [link]
10. Juniper Salad (no picture)

1. The GPS has an obnoxious voice. What does 9 (Flying Robert) name it, & is 7 (The Goat-eyed man) bothered by it?

Robert calls it Herr Schnabel, after one of his old teachers at the orphanage. And yes, the Goat-eyed man is extremely annoyed with the GPS voice, and sees fit to air his annoyance every time it says anything.

2. 8(Edgar), 4(Oleander), 6(Monroe), and 1(Cyan) are all forced to share the cramped back row of seats. How do they arrange themselves?
Well, everyone knows that they only put rows of three seats in vans, so everyone squishes and Edgar and Cyan have to share a seatbelt cause they’re the smallest. Edgar argues that Oleander’s wings are taking up too much room, so Oleander tries to lift them above the seat but Cyan warns him that Artoveli won’t be able to see out the back window if he does that. Everyone in that row is getting rather testy, except for Monroe, who’s just so glad to be in a van again after so much time in the 1800s that he doesn’t even notice the squishing and is just gazing out the window and uttering the occasional sigh of contentment.

3. 5(Lenore) & 10(Juniper Salad) are sitting next to each other. Who gets the window seat?
Lenore wants the window seat of course, but Juniper is liable to throw an unpleasant tantrum if she doesn’t get it. So Lenore gives the window seat to her and instead entertains herself by continuously pestering Juniper to wear her seatbelt.

4. 3(Plague Doctor) & 4(Oleander) are invading each other's personal space. Who gets annoyed first & how do they deal with it?
Okay, so the row with the four previously-mentioned characters is in the middle of the extremely large van, and Oleander’s seat is right in front of Plague Doctor. Oleander, not being able to fold his wings behind him because of Edgar, has them draped over the back of the seat and they’re brushing Plague Doctor’s knees. Plague Doctor hates to be touched, so he tries to move his knees out of the way, but he’s also squished in with three other people so he can’t really move very much. Finally he gets really frustrated and shoves Oleander’s wings up over the seat again. Oleander turns around and asks what His problem is. Plague Doctor shoves him again and Oleander whacks him in the arm. Those sitting around them start to raise their voices in protest and finally I have to shout ”GET ALONG OR GET TAPS!” which settles it nicely.

5. What habit does 8(Edgar) have that might get on 2(Felix)'s nerves?

Felix happens to look over from his seat between Plague Doctor and the window, and sees Edgar picking at his fingernails. He shudders and looks out the window again, trying to think of something else.
6. Who's more likely to start up a round of "99 Bottles", 1(Cyan) or 7(The Goat-eyed man)?
The Goat-eyed man, who shouldn’t even know that song. But he only does it to be evil, plus he interrupts himself every time Herr Schnabel says anything.

7. Would you trust 9 (Flying Robert) or 10 (Juniper Salad) to get behind the wheel for a while?
Uhmmm… Flying Robert isn’t used to steering, just sitting in his vehicle. While he’s a nicer person, Juniper probably does know how to drive. Then again, there’s no way she’d take directions from anyone but herself, so the situation could get sticky if/when we came to one of those notorious exit ramps…

8. You stop at a gas station & 5(Lenore) & 3(Plague Doctor) make a snack-and-supply run. What do they bring back?

Plague Doctor buys sugary junk, but has to eat his share as quickly as possible in the gas station bathroom (shudder) so that no one will see him without his mask on. Three unappetizing minutes later he rejoins the rest of the group to see that Lenore’s bought salty junk and a few large bottles of water. He makes fun of her for buying water, but then spends the rest of the trip suffering as he watches them drink.

9. 6 (Monroe) and 8 (Edgar) brought CD's. What's on their playlist?
Monroe went crazy with nostalgia and made a mix tape of The Beatles, Savage Garden, Britney Spears, and several 80s cartoon intros. Edgar’s CD was a collection of late 1800s-early 1900s popular club songs, such as “47 Ginger-Headed Sailors” and “Lady of Spain.” They hate each other’s music.

10. Who's the more notorious backseat driver, 2 (Felix) or 10 (Juniper Salad)?
Felix, not a driver himself, is only vaguely aware of the fact that someone is driving. He generally just stares out the window daydreaming until someone in the van (usually Plague Doctor or the Goat-eyed man) does something requiring comment. Juniper on the other hand is an extremely jumpy passenger. I’m not even sure why she decided to come with us, though I suspect it had something to do with the fact that Felix was coming too.

The end!
