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!

[cynisme]

[For as much elegance as Des Esseintes may posses, Grantaire exudes his polar opposite. He saunters, leans, stumbles, and currently? Is sitting on the curb with fabric wrapped around his head like a turban, downing drink. He even keeps his legs out, no mind about whether he may trip someone.]

[againstnature]

[Des Esseintes is not dealing with Keeliai at all and he would really just rather be back in his suite, where it is comfortable and above all quiet. An empty larder has forced him out, and now he is borne along the crowd like a drowning man in a flood, and with nearly as frantic an expression. Surely, he thinks, his heart will simply overtax itself and before long he'll simply collapse from an aneurysm, or a sheer attack of nerves.

It's in this state that he floats past Grantaire and has the bad luck to stumble right over him. Only the arm of a passerby keeps him from landing flat on his face. He staggers, somehow managed to get his feet back under him, and looks around in irritation and confusion.]

[cynisme]

[Grantaire barely looks up at Des Esseintes. It's only a half-lidded glance over his bottle, and he crosses one leg over the other before returning to it.]

Watch where you're going, quem.
