Guess

One of the latest trends on TikTok, which involves making a video in which you perform a short, musical male-female dialogue with the following content:  – Are you up for a joy ride later?Where do you want to take me?  – Guess users use a scripted short exchange about a situation in their own life (related to a friendship or romantic relationship). It ends with word guess pronounced with proper intonation, which suggests that recipient’s reaction to described situation has been predictable.

For example:

– I politely told him I wasn’t interested.

– And what did he tell you?

– Guess.

***

– I gave them one more chance.

– And how did it go?

– Guess.

***

– I met a chick who laughed at me in primary school.

– What does she look like now?

– Guess.

Phrase: Are you up for a joy ride later? he originates from the character Sylus, one of the characters of Love and Deepspace, a mobile otome game (otome game – from jap.otome – old fashioned word for ‘maiden, girl’ and eng.game) that is a dating simulation game aimed at a female audience. There, you can take on the role of a protagonist who meets several handsome men with their own backstory and talents. Sylus, characterised by white hair and red eyes, is an intriguing and mysterious figure. The phrase Are you up for a joy ride later? has gained considerable popularity, first appearing in various fan material and then also in those created outside of the gaming community, inspiring a variety of social media content.
