TEST DRIVE

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:

Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
Tag around with everyone!
Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!
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!

A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
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!
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.
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...?
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!
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!

[4.
So. Evidently, in this world you can't pay with credits attached to your personal bank account accessed through a eye scan or finger print.

So that apple she grabbed? Technically stealing. So now she's under assault from a rather cross Kedan shop owner as she darts down the streets trying to dodge him and everyone in her way.

So if she accidentally bumps into you, she'll offer a "sorry!".

6. WILDCARD. Your move. :)]

[She was told about the archways of Keeliai. About the dreaming realm. As a woman of science, Atsuko has come to grips with supernatural things and accepted them as something she hasn't understood yet. Like being on a giant turtle. That was something science didn't have answers for and yet here she was. Nevertheless, as someone who has dedicated much of her adult life to studying dreams, there is a great investment of interest in this "dreaming realm". Tokita would love it, she thinks and immediately regrets because of how much she misses his presence.

She stands in front of one of the archways, just a few steps away from entering it. She wants to go through, but she hesitates. That's always been her biggest problem: overthinking things. It makes her wish she could be more like the dream girl in her mind, who would just go through without fear of the consequences. Atsuko always thought of consequences and they always stopped her.

So she stands, unmoving, staring at the space between the gate. Maybe if she stares long enough, she'll get an answer out of the sky. Unlikely. Part of her just wants someone to talk her out of this crazy idea she has because she can't do it alone.]

[Atsuko hates snow. It's intrusive, makes it hard to walk around, and she's not dressed for the season at all. Her face is creased into a grimace as she walks through the street, just wanting to get back to her--]

Aah!

[And then she slips on some ice, falling to the ground with a small oof. Stupid winter. Help a woman out here?]

[Clementine doesn't like winter. Winter means little animals for hunting, cold conditions, travel difficulty...winter is the worst season by far in her opinion.

So when she sees people having snowball fights, she can't find it in herself to join them. A great part of her wants to, but she can't get settled here. Not when things can go bad at any moment. Complacency is what leads to misfortune and has time and again betrayed her. Never settle, never get close, never get comfortable. Soon things will get bad if they haven't already.

Instead she leans near a tree and watches people having fun, not allowing herself the same joys. She can't be a child...no matter how fun it looks.]

[Regardless of where she is, Piper certainly isn't impressed with the situation; she didn't help stop Hell from walking the Earth just to end up stuck on the back of a fucking turtle.]

3} [ Well. This was certainly- different. Neal had come across a spectacular arch in the city and was admiring the carvings in it, when something had activated and he found himself pulled in. At first, he was disoriented by a blinding light, but that quickly dropped away into a world of gray. When he looked about, he saw spires of gray, stretching to the sky like skyscrapers, wavering at the edges like flames. When he looked down, he found his clothing had changed to something out of a gangster movie - deep black.

All about, wandering the sidewalks of this surreal and dreamy Manhattan, wandered figures in similar clothing, but in various shades of white - some off, some brilliant like sun-on-snow. All of them were indistinct in their features. The only detail that mattered was that they were white hats, and he was a black hat.

Well. Message taken, universe. ]

{ Or go with any option that works for you. }

[I was going to come up with some scenarios but let's all be honest here. He's either trying to get a lay of the land from up high or being fascinated by the local wildlife.]

[Unless you want to do something else here. I am amenable.]

[throws this up here before i walk out the door.]

Scenario A

[She's dead. D-e-a-d. But this isn't anything like heaven. Or hell. Or any afterlife she's ever heard of. Some of these people-- kedan-- said something about life, death, and dreaming. It sounds like a riddle. But her mind is focused on something else. She's walking through one of the streets, trying to keep a low profile. Especially if there are military or police types around.

Of course, it's hard not to attract attention when someone's wearing dirty pajamas and a blood-stained shirt.]

Scenario B

[Sarah has gotten new clothes, which she greatly appreciates. Now, she's walking aimlessly around the city, getting her bearings and trying to keep her mind occupied. She doesn't want to think. Or be alone, honestly.

She backs up to get a better look at one of the buildings and stumbles into the street.]

Scenario C

[Your choice!]

[This. Is. Bullshit.

Joel... isn't exactly a trusting guy. Especially since the kedan are clearly non-human-- but they're also clearly not Infected. Still, he gives them a wide berth. His hand never strays far from his pistol, his senses heightened, his fight-or-flight instinct ready to kick in.

He also looks like a man on a mission. He's clearly looking for someone, and he'll stop anyone about Ellie's height and with brown hair. Sometimes he risks calling out for her.]

Ellie!

( happy to start if you'd like to meet him in a particular place! )

[ Whoever thought that the plain on-board uniform was good clothing for the season? Was very, very wrong. Uhura's jaw is tight, and not only to keep her teeth from chattering. Somebody will answer for this, she knows as she trudges through the snow in the direction of the market that she's been directed to. ]

[he's trying, really desperately, to get his iPhone to work. It's not working though, no matter how many time he shakes it, or tries to find a wifi signal.

At this rate, he's about to default to a game of Angry Birds for the hell of it. That would certainly give him some ideas besides flipping through his contact list usefully. But, no, instead, he sighs dramatically and starts looking around, before affixing his eyes to the first Foreigner he sees]

You! You speak English? Um, Hablo anglais? People speak Spanish if they don't speak English, right?

[BUT BESIDES THE POINT. He claps his hand to there shoulder, and says with the most serious of faces]

I have a secret mission I need help with. Operation "Find me a cell phone tower!" You think you can handle it?!

[ You can put up a starter or just tag in with a selection and I'll pull something together. ]
