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!

...You don't sound like you really want to thank him, Richard.

[EVEN ASBEL CAN TELL. Which is probably why he's taking his and following you.]

[oathwalk]

I'm surprised at you, Asbel. Don't you feel any desire to thank Frederic and Bailey for their hard work?

[is he or is he not trolling Asbel? who knows]

[heartofgraces]

Of course I do! [sdflkdsaf] That's not what I mean, I was just...

[oathwalk]

You were just...?

[heartofgraces]

You sounded tired! I was just worried, Richard.

[WHY IS HE SUDDENLY THE BAD GUY HERE?!]

[oathwalk]

[because friendship is all about giving each other a hard time]

While I appreciate your concern, you must be more careful with the implications of your speech. A lord cannot afford for his words to be twisted or misinterpreted by his enemies.

[lbr, Richard just likes lecturing Asbel on proper behaviour. Asbel has funny reactions, and it never has any effect, which is great because Richard wouldn't want it to.]

[heartofgraces]

...Right.

[HE JUST LOOKS SO CRESTFALLEN for a moment before being determined.]

I'll have to try even harder, then!

[Somewhere, Lambda is torn between laughing and wishing he had hands to facepalm with.]

[oathwalk]

[ONLY YOU ASBEL JFC. Richard has to actually smile. And this is the man he owes his life and sanity to.]

I have every confidence that you'll succeed.

[heartofgraces]

[Kind of makes you wonder how he managed, huh?]

Thanks....I'm glad you'll be there to help me.

[He doesn't have to question it; after all, he'd do the same for Richard.]

[oathwalk]

[There's more friendship here than a little pony could handle. But Asbel completely glided past Richard's teasing with the power of sincerity and kindness, and Richard loves him for it.]

Of course, my friend.

[He nods towards Asbel's respective pile of paper.]

Though even I can't be of assistance with that.

[heartofgraces]

[Asbel simply sighs. Oh, the life of the Lord of Lhant.]

...I know.

[oathwalk]

[Poor thing.]

Pascal once suggested to me the idea of a paperwork sleepover party. Perhaps we should try that some time. It could make the work easier.

[heartofgraces]

What, to have everyone together in their pajamas? [He laughs a little, because it sounds kind of funny, but even so...]

Actually, that does sound like fun. I'd been thinking it would be fun to just stay up with everyone sometime, but with everyone having so much work...getting together to do it sounds like a good way to solve that.

[oathwalk]

It sounded difficult to coordinate, but the idea is appealing. No doubt the work would go by more quickly with friends at our side.

[heartofgraces]

And it'd be nice to have everyone together, right?

[He knows what you really want, Richard. He approves, but he knows.]

[oathwalk]

I never denied that. I often have the pleasure of the others' company for political engagements, but it isn't often that we can come together as a group.
