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!

So compared to Jaime, I'm lesser of the two evils? I feel like I should take offense to this. [She is teasing, of course, but thread lightly anyway.]

[toohottohandle]

No, it's just that I trust you to not accidentally fry my buns while trying to stop me. [He's seen what that Scarab can do!]

[urbanmagic]

[Pfft. Well, point.] He tries. But sure, glad to know your faith in me then.

[toohottohandle]

I know. I'm more worried about his space-bug-pants than him though. And hey, if Beets trusts you then so do I.

[urbanmagic]

Beets. [That gets a cheerful grin.] Nice nickname.

Well, the scarab does like being very strange, that's for sure.

[toohottohandle]

It's one of many. Feel free to use it. [He grins too.]

I don't think it can be anything but strange. Not that I've got much room to talk.

[urbanmagic]

Nah, I'll let you keep it. I think I have enough pet names for him. [And there goes the sappy.]

We all don't have room to talk. I've got magic, you've got fire and he's got a sarcastic bug on his spine.

[toohottohandle]

[Eddie fights back that little jealous pang that rises in him, chuckling.] We should trade notes to make sure they don't overlap sometime.

Magic isn't nearly as weird as being me or Jaime's bug-butt.

[urbanmagic]

We should trade notes so they do overlap, then we can test it out on him and see if he'll react to them. [She is a good girlfriend, really.]

That's because you're used to the weird things we experience every day. Try asking a normal person who isn't a cape and we all rank about the same.

[toohottohandle]

[That gets another laugh out of Eddie.] Okay, yes, we need to do that. And make sure we have a camera to get the looks on his face.

No offense but the hot girl that does some magic is not nearly as weird as the demon dude or the guy that has a space-bug living in his back.

[urbanmagic]

Sounds like we've got a working plan going. [Poor Jaime.]

Oh. Well. I'm not about to argue a who is weirder contest. Let's just say my life isn't exactly the least bizarre you'd find out there.

[toohottohandle]

The best plan ever. [It's how they show they care, really.]

Thankfully the weirdness is part of our collective charms.

[urbanmagic]

Exactly! No wonder we get along so well. [In both accounts.]

[toohottohandle]

[Eddie laughs. He's having a good time. When he stops and glances around, Eddie blinks a few times.]

Where'd we end up walking to?

[urbanmagic]

[She gestures one arm out, sweeping across to present the sea.] Tada! Welcome to the turtle's head. Say hi to Asti.

[toohottohandle]

[Eddie looks around slowly, feeling an unusual calmness washing over him.]

Huh...

[He shifts a little awkwardly before raising his free hand to wave at the ground.]

Hi.
