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:

1. Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
2. Tag around with everyone!
3. Profit like you live on a 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!

1. A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
   Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
2. 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!
3. Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy...
   First impressions are always the most important, right?
4. 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!

The first comment/thread on this test drive is going to be titled ENABLE ME and it's where you post character accounts/muselists, etc and others (members, passerbys, shoulder demons) can enable you to apply to Tu Shanshu! Come, let us enable you to the turtletastic madness!

[Percy is just kind of wandering aimlessly through the marketplace, because let's face it, it's not like there's a whole lot else for him to do right now. He's feeling kind of...well, despondent is probably the right word, but he's going to call it 'crappy' because that sounds less dramatic.

And then he spots a familiar looking baby-face. For a second he thinks he has to be hallucination, but after a couple of seconds standing there gaping like an idiot doesn't reveal the newcomer to be an illusion, a wide smile breaks across his face] Holy - Frank!?

[iguanasolution]

Percy?

[You can see the relief in Frank's eyes as soon as he turns his gaze towards the voice. Waking up and almost drowning hadn't been nice at all, just because he was a descendant on Poseidon it didn't mean he liked water when were people going to get that?

Waking up and being completely alone, on his own? Had been even worse.] I'm so glad to see you, you have no idea. Where are we? Can we leave?

[kelpful]

[MAN HUG TIME! Percy doesn't quite throw himself at Frank, but it's a near thing. He laughs in obvious relief] Man, I've got some idea.

[He pauses for a second, terminating the manhug] Uh...okay, this is going to sound insane - like, more than usual - but we're on the back of a turtle. And so far...no, we can't leave. I've been here like, two months, and Annabeth was here for six months before that by herself.

[iguanasolution]

[Oh okay an armful of Percy all of a sudden. Not that Mark minds, and he actually hugs him back rather effusively- until he starts explaning the whole deal to him.]

...I- what? What do you mean we can't leave? We had a mission. We'll find out our way out eventually, right?
