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...?
Shapeshifting Shenanigans
The native kedan are shapeshifters and it seems like something's gotten into the water supply, because you suddenly find yourself able to duplicate that particular skill! Whether you're any good at it or not remains to be seen...
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!

[ Gangs. How are there gangs no matter what city she goes to? Even in another universe, there are gangs. And they seem to think that Felicity has money. Or something else. Which... they're actually kind of right about that. She knows where one of their hide-outs is. And who their leader is.

So yes, she understands why they're chasing her, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. ]

[The gang is chasing, looking forward, tailing a particular girl, but have any of them bothered to look back, or even up?

No, they didn't. No one ever does.

From seemingly nowhere (though really from a nearby building), Oliver jumps and drops his entire weight on a gang member to break his fall. Of course, the gang member ends up with a couple of broken ribs, but that's details. He's not dead.

Oliver rises to his feet. A man pulls out a knife and slashes at his face, but Oliver is too quick for the other. He leans back for a moment before straightening himself and punching him in the nose.]

[ Felicity stops running when the men stop chasing her, and she doubles over, gasping for breath as she watches the Hood beat the men. Still having trouble breathing, she leans against the wall of a building and waits. She isn't worried about the Hood hurting her next. Not now that she knows who he is.

She presses a hand to her ribs as she waits for him to finish. ]

Should've kept that gym membership.

[With a punch, the final henchman goes down in a sprawl.]

Should've kept closer to the route.

[ She checks to make sure none of the guys are moving - but of course they aren't, because when Ollie puts someone down, they stay down. Still, she makes her way straight to him and hurries her pace whenever she passes one of the bad guys. ]

They cut me off! Let's put you in high heels and see how fast you run.

[ And then all of her focus settles on him as she realizes what she said. She can't stop the image of him trying to run in high heels and a skirt from appearing in her mind. Felicity presses her lips together and quickly looks away. ]

Or I could get boots. Or sneakers. They don't really... seem to sell those here, though. So... slippers?

Barefoot. Barefoot is a thing.

Do we just... leave them here?

We'll find you boots.

[He'd rather have her in something a lot more practical than heels if this is going to be become a more usual occurrence.]

It'll take too long to drag them somewhere else. They'll be too disoriented on their own. [With a final glance at the thugs, he looks forward again.]

Let's move.

[ She nods, though she doesn't seem particularly thrilled. Boots aren't really her thing. They tend not to come in bright colors or to make her leg muscles look defined. Felicity Smoak and boots are not friends.

But Oliver says move, so she moves, nodding her head. ]

Or maybe I can just stop playing bait until the next time?

[ Of course, what else can she do here? The most advanced piece of tech she has access to is a console. She can't fight like he can, and with her main skill nuked, she's... what, emotional support? And bait. She'll just have to flex her brain muscles. ]

I found out who their boss is. And where one of their hide-outs is. Which... you probably already know, since you found me. But I should be able to cross-reference [ No computer, Felicity ] track some of them and find out where the other hide-outs are. The leader is a guy named Qiang Hong, but he moves around a lot. If we watch the hide-outs, though, we should be able to find him and you can- well- you should be able to do your... thing. There were drugs at the hide-out, so I figure he's into that. And when's the last time you met a gang leader that was only into drugs?

[ See? Brains. That's Felicity. Brainy. ]

Thanks for coming for me. And saving me. Again.

[He's listening to Felicity, and filing every piece of information away in his brain as best as he can while moving, trying to find the next place to go to hunker down for a moment before moving again. Starling City was one thing, this place he couldn't navigate half as well yet.

Oliver stops to face her.]

I'll find a way around this, Felicity. [The bait, he means. Oliver never liked it when she put herself on the line like this but he doesn't know where to turn or who to trust.] But I can't yet.

[ She will never admit how much she likes it when he looks at her like that. The look that says she's important. ]

It's fine. I like being important for you.

[ Wait. ]

To you.

[ Wait. ]

I mean, I like being important.

[ Way to go, Felicity. ]

I wonder if they have magic for whatever's wrong with my brain-mouth connection.

[ Deep breath. Okay. Move on. ]

So... what now? Want to go spy on them?

[ She's not actually sure how to do this without a computer. This is more Ollie's thing than hers. But she'll help him with whatever he does, because she can't not help him. ]
