TEST DRIVE MEME - TU SHANSHU EDITION!

Itching to try out writing a character? Then rev up your engines, grab your accounts, and slam your way into this meme! Here is a venue for you to try out whatever character there might be tickling your fancy, from fandom to OC, for as few as one and as many as MANY. Seriously, there's no limit.

How do you partake in this fantastic congregation of character testing? Why, by following these simple steps:

Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
Tag around with everyone!
Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!
Maybe even reserve so you CAN live on the back of a turtle!

But wait, there's more! For the low, low price of $9,999.99, you can even use one of our handy prompts when you tag someone. You could even pick one with a Random Number Generator to help decide which prompt to go with!

A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
Haggling Over Something in the Marketplace!
Maybe someone else saw the exact same shiny thing you did at the exact same moment! However shall this be resolved? Remember: blood is extremely hard to scrub off of turtleshell!
Have Met Before? Because I Could've Sworn I've Seen You In My Dreams.
Have you wandered into the realm of Dreaming via an archway in Keeliai? Here, everything is shaped to your character's individual mind. Dreams can be shared between characters and will result in a meshing of minds. These dreams can be positive or negative, depending on your character.
Dramatic Chase Sequence!
You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children, or even one of the newest editions to Keeliai's menagerie, an incredibly affectionate turtle the size of a minivan! One way or another, you can't stop, and much like a katamari ball, you feel obligated to grab everyone in your path along the way to keep them out of danger! Or perhaps you're more the sort to try and knock them into it as a distraction...?
Shapeshifting Shenanigans
The native kedan are shapeshifters and it seems like something's gotten into the water supply, because you suddenly find yourself able to duplicate that particular skill! Whether you're any good at it or not remains to be seen...
WILDCARD!
Go nuts. Suddenly your character is fighting dragons! Good God, they've found the Millennium Falcon drifting in the ocean! Do you really feel the need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

( before new warriors )

[To say the day had been uneventful is an understatement. It's days like these that make Kaine wonder (more than usual) why he bothers to put the damn costume on at all. There are more than enough actual superheroes here, and yet he has to keep getting involved. One of these days he's going to figure out why. Today is not that day.

So he's swinging back home when a familiar blue hoodie catches his attention. It has to be a coincidence... didn't it? He crawls down the closest wall to get a closer look.]

...Aracely?

[ Part of what keeps Aracely from freaking out too much is that she's been able to sense Kaine since her powers came back into effect. He was here. That was all that mattered. That meant everything was going to be okay.

So she wanders around, trying to find where exactly in here he was. Because first things first: Kaine. Always find Kaine.

She looks up when she hears his voice, smiling widely. ]

Kaine!

I have been looking for you. What have you been doing? Have you been helping fight in the war? I told you you were a hero. [ Okay she has a lot of feelings about Kaine and the hero business. ]

[Oh boy, some things never changed.

But truth be told, he was so happy to see her, he could forget her bad little habit of bombarding him with questions the second she sees him.]

Scarlet Spider, remember? [Points to the mask. Usually he couldn't care less, but he's been trying to be careful with the whole secret identity thing for Peter and May's sakes.]

And being drafted doesn't make me a hero. [He lands on the ground beside her.] When did you get here?

[ Oh, so we're embracing the names now? Does this mean he'll call her Hummingbird now? Because that would be so cool if he did. They'd really be like heroes now. ]

But you were chosen for a reason, right?

Peter and May are here? Who's May? [ She's still never going to knock before entering his mind, honestly. ]

I just got here. They must have chosen you for a reason. I wish they hadn't waited so long to choose me. [ You really can't leave Kaine alone. ]

[They're not heroes. Stop thinking they are.]

It's... complicated. And what have I told you about reading my mind? You know it's dangerous. [The Other's still in there.]

I don't know what to think. Wait--are you actually excited to be here?

[ Totally are. You're never convincing her otherwise, Kaine. ]

What happens when your thing in your mind meets mine? [ That's an odd thought that's just occurred to her. ] I know it's there now, anyway. I can be careful.

I'm not afraid either. [ Said with bright eyes that show how much she means it too. ]

I am if I get to see you being a hero.

I don't know and I don't want to find out. [He remembers what it did to Carrion, and that's enough to have a rush of fear run over him. He doesn't want her to end up like that.

And he knows her well enough to know she fully means what she says next.] One day you'll learn to be afraid of me. [Like she should be. Like they all should be.]

Then you've wasted a trip onto the back of a giant turtle, because it's not gonna happen.

[ Glossing over all of Kaine's dramatics. Hasn't trying to burn his costume taught him they don't really work out in practice? ]

So the turtle is real? [ Perks up again. ] I almost thought it was going to be like my real coyote. [ Not actually so real. ]

Can you waste a trip to giant turtle?

[He hasn't gotten to the costume burning attempt yet.]

It's real all right, and if you wait long enough one of the babies running around might try to kill you on their way to the nearest restaurant. [He says babies but they're already like 10 feet tall.]

[ It was hilarious. And nearly burnt the hotel down but yeah. Let's focus on the hilarity. ]

Turtle babies? Why are the turtle babies trying to kill us? [ This place is so strange and so cool. ]

Are we supposed to fight the turtle babies? [ Yes, she's considering herself a hero and part of this. ]

[Again, Kaine is not known for his farsight.]

No, do not fight the turtle babies. [He secretly likes them. Well, at least the one he talked to in his dream.] They just seem to really like restaurants and forget to look if someone might be under them.

Oh. [ She grins more at that. ] I didn't want to fight the baby turtles so that's good news.

What kind of restaurants are here? Can we get food? I'm hungry. [ Suddenly very aware of her empty stomach. ]

[He fights the urge to laugh. It hadn't hit him until this moment--Aracely is really here. She's real, and she's standing right next to him. He knew he had missed her, but he hadn't realized how much.]

All kinds, but mainly the kind similar to Chinese Food. That said... I do know a good Bar-B-Que place nearby.

[ It's like he's said the magic words. She would have settled for Chinese-like foods, they're good too, but Bar-B-Que is the best food in any world. ]

Do we have money? Can we go there? Right now, though, not later. [ Her stomach is a bottomless pit that needs to be filled, Kaine, don't deny her this. ]

[He'd be lying if he said one of the first things he did wasn't to find a place that served Bar-B-Que. He's not even that fond of it, but...]

Since when has my costume ever had pockets? I left everything back in my suite. [Oh, he knows. But he can't make money magically appear.]
