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!

[He's content to watch - after that little bit of attitude he just gave the guy he figures it needs to be out rather than in. That said, he does catch one of them trying to dive at Terry and flicks him towards the rest of the pile, casually binding them with glowing green restraints.

Then, to Terry, mildly:] You fight like a bat. Sorry about earlier - met too many evil versions to be entirely certain at first glance.

[bootjets]

It's fine, I get the need for caution.

[He even contemplates apologising for being all snitty back there, but bats never apologise. Anyway, he's got more important questions - like inquiring about this evil Batmans stuff. That's not something he's noticed in Bruce's files or his stories, so either it's an inconsistency in the illusion or alternate reality nonsense. (He's crossing his fingers for the former.)]

Evil versions?

[If that's a thing he's going to have to deal with here, he is going to be just the most annoyed.]

[imaginate]

[Kyle nods.]

Yep. Did a little multiverse hopping. Pretty nasty versions out there, thankfully none of them here.

[A pause, and he squints.]

Unless this was an elaborate set-up, in which case, I warn you upfront: you know what I can do to you.

[bootjets]

You got me chief. [hands up] I'm really just some dreg in a batsuit, here to wreak havoc.

[It. Doesn't really occur to him until after he's started talking that joking about being an evil Batman to a guy who doesn't know him might not be a great idea.]

[imaginate]

[Don't worry he's completely distracted by something else entirely.]

Did you just make a joke? Did Batman just make a joke? Oh my God, you're the evil version.

Do you smile, too?

[He may or may not be joking.]

[bootjets]

Hey, whoa. Let's not get crazy here. That'd ruin my credibility.

[imaginate]

[He laughs.]

Who'd believe me if I told them, anyway. Your secret's safe with me.

[Which, now that he thinks about it, is kind of depressing.]

[bootjets]

[He takes a good, full moment to think on it for effect.]

Okay, it happened once in a moment of weakness. I'm not proud of it.

[imaginate]

Works for me.

[He shakes his head.]

Oh, one more thing, please tell me you use phones like normal people and we don't have to shine a signal in the sky to call you.

[bootjets]

I'd actually prefer it if you didn't.

[He broke the last batsignal someone tried to get his attention with.]

[imaginate]

[Thumbs up, and he hovers, heading to leave.]

Good hunting, Bats.

[bootjets]

See you around.

[He kind of wants to thank Kyle for being an alright dude (Bruce what is your beef with Lanterns,) but as it is he'll just watch him go and then jet off in the opposite direction.]

[and then probably spy on him later because okay he's a Bat it's what they do]
