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!

Pretty slim. Most of it's completely fried. It wasn't designed for entry/re-entry, so there's no fuel cells, no thrusters-- most of the hull's way too compromised to even patch together into something that looks like a ship and do not get me started on the engine. It's barely a step up from steam-powered.

[Speaking of, he pulls a scrap of cloth out of his back pocket and starts wiping grease off his hands. Sorry, Scotty, he probably got it all over your uniform.]

[beamsup]

[He's an engineer. His uniform's supposed to have grease all over it.]

Aye, sir, it doesn't look good. What now?

[jirk]

[It feels good, to have people looking to him for a plan. Jim does some of his best work under pressure.]

There's apparently a barrier around this turtle that prevents anything from coming or going. We need a new transporter equation, Mr. Scott. Think you're up for it?

[Jim has been trying to come up with one for weeks, but all his genius aside, he's not a scientist.]

[beamsup]

I can try, sir. But without any coordinates for our location, not to mention our destination... it'll be a challenge.

[jirk]

Let me worry about that.

[THE MOST WINNING SMILE come on, Scott, you know he's good for it.]

[beamsup]

Aye, Captain. [Because what else do you say to James Tiberius Perfect Hair? The man's come back from the dead, he can get the two of them off this planet somehow.]

[jirk]

[He slings an arm around Scotty's shoulders companionably.]

We can worry about it later. You have got to check this place out. I'm sure Spock'll chew me out later for all the times I've completely obliterated the prime directive, but this place actually isn't half bad.
