hitchin'

You’ve got somewhere to be and no way to get there. Stick out your thumb on the side of a lonesome highway. Beam a distress call from a nearby planet. Send an interplanar astral projection into someone’s dream. However you get the signal out hitch a ride and get the hell out of dodge.

top level

to tell your potential driver where you’re heading and see if they can make room for you.

if you’re willing to go their way.

Loki | MCU | OTA

[cuttingremark]

((Who's picking up this shithead?))

[senseloss]

[Coda's car has broken down on the way to a major gaming convention; any nerds headed in that direction? They'll talk about their work as an environmental designer if you offer them a ride.]

Sylar | Heroes | OTA

[complexharmony]

((Still on rewatch, so canon-point is early S3, post Shanti virus cure, after acquiring Claire's power, and just before his capture and the terrible 'ur a Petrelli we swear' nonsense. He has people to kill and powers to acquire... and no money to do either. So. Who wants to give a serial killer a ride?))

Larry Trainor / Negative Man | Doom Patrol

[horticulturalist]

I'm just trying to get back to Covington. It's in Ohio. There's nothing important there. It's just the only place I can take these bandages off safely.

[cartoonindividual]

[Is this kid even old enough to drive?? Is this kid even a kid?? Considering his species is indeterminate, it's hard to say.]

Wooooooow. Must've been some paper cut, huh?

Dabi | BNHA

[creamation]

[ He might be trying to get out of dodge, or just needs a ride to get a pack of cigarettes, depending on the day. ]

Rades Spirito | Black Clover

[aggraveating]

[ Who has no broom and is in the middle of nowhere and wants to get back to civilization? This guy. Who may or may not have at least one undead zombie he scrounged up who might have to tag along with any hitchhiking? Also this guy.


Might be better to just leave him there, really. ]

Rose Marshall | Ghost Roads/InCryptid | OTA

[borrowyourcoat]

[A teenage girl by herself on a rambling country highway median. She's dressed in unfashionaly distressed layers that don't look anywhere near warm enough for the weather.

You wouldn't know looking at her she's been doing this for over 60 years.]

[not_yet_screaming]

A red Prius stopped slowly enough to have checked that Rose wasn't part of a group and a young redhead wound the window down, leaning across to speak to the hitch-hiker. "Where are you trying to..." She stopped her eyes widening. "I take it you know that you're..." And from the slightly wild look on her face she wasn't sure how to finish that sentence.

[charodeyka]

[complexharmony]

((Wanna do something with these two? Post-film for her, around S3 for him?))

[charodeyka]

( sure! let's give it a whirl. )

[complexharmony]

((woohoo! last two questions: Sylar the driver or the hitchhiker? and, did you want to start or shall i? :D ))

[charodeyka]

( we'll go with driver? and if you don't mind starting, that would be great! )

sorry this took so long! it has been A Day :)

[complexharmony]

( Cured of the Shanti virus and now having gained the power of immortality, it's fair to say that one Sylar was having a very Good Day. There were so many people out there, people who didn't realize how special they were, or worse, those who had and did not deserve the abilities they had been given.

He wants to track down and meet every... last... one.

Acquiring a car had been the easiest thing. Locked doors are nothing against telekinesis, and blue collar workers three sheets to the wind aren't too careful with their keyrings. The stolen car wouldn't be reported until late afternoon the next day, if even then, and by that point? He would've picked something else already. For now, he's driving a classical matte black, with all the bells and whistles of the modern age. Everything one would need for a cross country tour.

Thus begins his journey. He's whistling along to a upbeat jazz tune on the radio when he spots the young woman with the purple puppet. That was certainly unique. He shouldn't stop, but there's a strange pang of consciousness: had it not been a pair of renegade outlaws who'd saved him in a similar fashion? If this was karma coming back to bite him in the ass...

Well. It would not kill him to pay it forward, would it?

He slows near her, lowering the passenger side window and leaning forward in his seat. He adapts a soft, unassuming tone of voice, something befitting the layers he wears. )

Pardon me... Do you require a lift, ma'am?

Melinda May | Agents of SHIELD | OTA

[busmom]

[ Why is May hitch-hiking? Who knows. But she'll take what she can get, mostly. Trying to get the jump on her isn't recommended, however. ]

Zero Sanson - Innocent Rouge

[somnium_delicata]

[The child was waving their stove-top hat about in their hand, hoping to catch the eye of the carriage driver. Their suitcase that was full of bread was set on the ground. Walking around was fun and all, but it was high time that Zero continued their journey by horse. They couldn't walk forever!

"Heeyy!!!! Do you mind giving Zero a lift?"]

Xiao Xingchen|The Untamed|ota

[blind_trust]

[Xingchen is hoping there is a farmer's wagon or something that can take him into town. He may have underestimated that last wave of undead.]

Chibi-Usa | Sailor Moon

[justcantwaittobe]

[She does sometimes hitch a ride back home or whenever, although usually from people she at least knows a little.]

Rinoa Heartilly | Final Fantasy VIII

[angelowing]

[Perhaps she was using a rented car at the time and it's just run out of fuel. Or any other reason.]

Takashi Shirogane (Shiro) | V:LD

[somekindofspacefather]

[Okay, so Shiro usually has his own vehicles and rarely needs a lift, but, who knows? Or maybe he's the one giving a ride. Whichever.]
