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!

Bob | Reboot

[brbrebooting]

[Yolo]

Booooooob!

[willofjustice]

[At first the man doesn't really stick out. After all, he's blue, and most of the kedan are blue. Ish. (Funny how that got to be normalcy so quickly.) And she has a friend who is also blue. But the shininess of hair and armor definitely catches Amelia's attention.]

[Have a small princess popping up near your shoulder.]

Hello?

Ameliaaaaa! ♥

[brbrebooting]

[Bob's been to a lot of weird places and done a lot of weird things in the course of his life, even by sprite standards.

So ending up in a mysterious city where everyone looks at him like he's totally random when he tries to ask for information about Mainframe or the Supercomputer? Yeah. Pretty weird. How could they not know about the supercomputer?

Anyway, nothing like some investigation, right? He's a bit preoccupied when Amelia pops up next to him.

Which is why he nearly jumps when she says hello.]

Woah! Oh, um, hi. Do you need help with something?

*known?* :O

[willofjustice]

[Amelia blinks at the unexpected response, but it sparks a laugh.]

Shouldn't I ask you that? Are you looking for something?

Of course! One day, I'll actually finish Slayers. *One day.*

[brbrebooting]

Not exactly, I'm just trying to get my bearings. This system is nothing like anything I've ever seen.

[And she doesn't look a lot like any sprite he's ever met. Then again, the 'kedan' were a bit strange too.]

*inspires you!* ;) That's awesome, though, that you know it!

[willofjustice]

[Yes, Bob. In some places people come in flesh tones!]

It's really different, isn't it? It's a lot different than my home, too.

[The word "system" seems a little strange, but surely he's talking about home given the fact that he's new right?]

[Amelia's gaze flicks around, seeking just the right building.]

There's a really good way to get your bearings, though!

[And . . . she starts scaling the wall, turning only briefly to beam back at him.]

Come up! It's okay!

Maybe I'll give it another watch over summer break

[brbrebooting]

[Woah, uh.

He can fly so he just. Does.

At least he hovers slightly above her and offers a hand. It'd be rude to make her climb all the way up.]

I have a faster way.

[cantbewalled]

[Prussia is on a search for answers. Or at least someone to demand answers from--whether they actually have any or not. Blue guy with silver hair who looks like he stepped out of one of Japan's cosplay conventions? Definitely weird enough to be a native.]

Hey, you!

[brbrebooting]

[Bob turns, totally unfazed.]

Yeah? What's up?

[cantbewalled]

[He thrusts out a finger, pointing it right at Bob accusingly.]

Who do I need to conquer around here to get off this overgrown mold factory?

[brbrebooting]

[Puzzled look. Uh.]

Conquer? I don't think the locals would take too kindly to that.

[And Bob would stop you anyway. ]

SCREAM

[viraldawn]

Guardian. What a... pleasant surprise.

[Megabyte's smile is anything but pleasant; but he doesn't bother to change his form as he approaches, claws flexing.]

SCREAM Hi

[brbrebooting]

[Ohhh boy. Just the virus he never wanted to see.

He sees Megabyte flexing his claws. Bob made the mistake of dropping his guard once. Never again.]

Wish I could say the same, Megabyte. How'd you get in this system?

[btw he might try to cleanse the virus out of you, bro.]

hello forgive me for I am rusty but SCREAM BOB

[viraldawn]

Now, now, Guardian. There's no need for that. I only wish to chat, after all.

[There's a dark chuckle at his question. Airily:] A rather curious question. I'd ask you the same.

[And they call him a monster.]

I'm brand new. ;;

[brbrebooting]

Funny, your chats never seem to end well for anyone.

What do you want?

[Also you kind of got him there because he has no idea how he got here.]

Well I'm super excited to see you ;o;

[viraldawn]

On the contrary. I'm rather enjoying this. [Megabyte still hasn't made any aggressive moves. But the way he's looking at Bob, you'd think he was a piece of meat and not a sprite]

I thought this absurd system might be of your doing. [Megabyte's got nothing, either ):] But then, you were never the brains of the operation, were you?

;A; I'm super excited to see people RP from Reboot

[brbrebooting]

[Which is why Bob isn't relaxing at all.]

Of course you are.

[He nearly snorts.]

Come on, what kind of plan would involve me getting stranded in some system that doesn't even know what a sprite is?

Indeed, tis a rare fandom :c also sorry for my slow, I am having internet troubles

[viraldawn]

[A wise move.]

From a Guardian who wanted to reprogram a virus, I can't say I expect too much. [He waves his claws dismissively] But if you've no useful information...

No worries!

[brbrebooting]

I've done it before and I can do it again.

[Sort of. Okay Hex was a special case.]

[He's totally ready for you, bro.]
