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. Dramatic Chase Sequence!
   You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children, or even one of the newest editions to Keeliai's menagerie, an incredibly affectionate turtle the size of a minivan! One way or another, you can't stop, and much like a katamari ball, you feel obligated to grab everyone in your path along the way to keep them out of danger! Or perhaps you're more the sort to try and knock them into it as a distraction...?
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!

Uh-huh. [Her eyes narrow slightly at that look, but she's weak to a charming smile. Hey, she might be gay, but she's not dead, and this guy looking friendly at her goes a long way to softening her suspicion.]

What are we preparing for? [she asks doubtfully, looking down at herself.] I feel unprepared. Also weird. Why does no one else get the two tone look?

[twofingersnatch]

[ He tries to not react to that narrow-eyed look of what he imagines to be suspicion; he's far too familiar with it. This situation, though, has left him a little out of his element. Still, seeing as she doesn't push that any further, he lets himself relax, just a bit. ]

Hm. [ Neal starts walking about Willow, just casually looking over her outfit and its colors. Compared to everyone else, she's the most colorful one here. ]

Clothes like that, you might just be the leading lady, assuming this were a movie. You're not exactly Elizabeth Tayor- [ He pauses, once he's back to the spot he was at before. ]

An Audrey Hepburn, maybe?

[guiltapalooza]

[The scrutiny makes her a bit nervous, which isn't hard to read on her at all. She's about to be offended at the perceived insult before he follows it up with a compliment, and it takes her off guard enough to visibly flummox her.]

Me? Audrey Hepburn? Oh, no no. That's not me. I'm a... I don't know, but it probably shouldn't be anyone top billed. I'm the sidekick and I'm happy being the sidekick.

[That hasn't always been strictly true, as her clothes reveal, but Willow would very much like it to be.]
