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!
4. Maybe even reserve so you CAN live on 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. Have Met Before? Because I Could've Sworn I've Seen You In My Dreams.
   Have you wandered into the realm of Dreaming via an archway in Keeliai? Here, everything is shaped to your character's individual mind. Dreams can be shared between characters and will result in a meshing of minds. These dreams can be positive or negative, depending on your character.
4. Will You Be Mine(d)?
   Exploring the turtleside may lead into old, abandoned mines with very old relics to be unearthed beneath the earth. Erm, shell. But be careful! Aggressive, rodent-like creatures are known to hide deep in these mines and they fear only one thing: The swan-lizard-like creatures known as swizards.
5. Walking in a Winter Wonderland
   Tu Vishan's entered colder waters and snow now abounds all over the turtle. Are you out enjoying the cold? Maybe trying on some extra warm layers of clothing? Building a snow turtle for the kids to play with? Then this option's for you!
6. 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!

Because it won't kill you to change up your wardrobe once in awhile. Don't get me wrong, your uniform has its...[ahem.]...charm. But what's wrong with dressing like a civilian once in awhile?

Besides...think of it as a souvenir. We came, we fought evil, we got shirts for proof. [And if he happened to buy Midnighter's a size too small well...he gets something out it too.]

[grouchinleather]

Hey I'm not opposed to civvies. [And to prove it, he pulls his cowl off, then runs a hand through his red hair.] What I'm opposed to is the sheer tackiness of this shirt. [Midnighter holds it out.] Did you find this in the crazy, giant turtle equivalent of the West Village?

[solar_absorber]

Okay, first of all, pulling off your cowl does not constitute as civilian wear. And it doesn't matter where I got it. If you had seen some of the other choices, you wouldn't have as much a problem with this shirt.

[grouchinleather]

What, do you want me to get naked in the middle of the street? I don't have anything else to take off!

I refuse to be a walking stereotype, Apollo.

[solar_absorber]

[He points at the cafe he's sitting in front of.] They have bathrooms. There's no need for that.

[Apollo raises a brow, clearly unimpressed.] You don't want to be a walking tourist stereotype? I hate to break this to you, but we are tourists here. As good as anyways.

[grouchinleather]

I'd still have no pants.

[His lip twitches, motioning to the glittery pink text.] Seriously!?

[solar_absorber]

Yet. I figured we could both go pants shopping this afternoon.

I resisted getting you the one with neon pink and purple stripes. You should be humbled by my restraint.

[grouchinleather]

Fine. And while we're out pants shopping, I'm going to find a decent shirt.

Because I'm not wearing this. [Your lucky he loves you.]

[solar_absorber]

[Apollo sighs. It's very long and put upon. You're such a pain in his ass sometimes husband.]

If you insist.

[grouchinleather]

[Sorry, Henry Bendix didn't program him with a (normal) sense of humor.]

Thank you
