Test Drive Meme | March 2014
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...? - Spring Fling!
Apparently the kedan take the "starting anew" aspect of spring very seriously and have started showing their appreciation for flowers and lovely weather by kissing everyone they across! Neither age nor gender seem to play a factor (though the children will instead get kisses atop their heads, because they're not that weird) but you might find yourself liplocked with a random stranger just for walking down the street. - 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!
Riley Abel | The Last of Us
#2!
But this guy. This asshole. Well, he wasn't working with her at all, trying to claim that there was an overabundance of dead lizard carcass out there, and after having had her arm broken for a week and a half, Ellie was having none of it. She needed some cash, damn it]
Hey, fuck you, I know this thing's worth at least 3 juulan more! Don't try to bullshit me!
[it wasn't like there were other redhead 14 year olds in the dead lizard business. He should know she knew enough about this to not try to rip her off.
But one more angry sound and then he was shooing her off.]
Fine. I don't need your fucking juulan anyway, asshole.
[she flipped him off before turning away, dead lizards on a stick in tow]
no subject
And now? Some weird place. And it sure is far from any pearly gates or any brimstone. It was nothing she ever would have expecting, nothing even remotely familiar.
All she knew was to walk forward.
Where was Ellie, anyway? They were in this together, right? She couldn't have gotten very...
And that's when she heard it. There's that familiar voice. That cadence that showed just how much the bite wanted to match the bark-- because in a tough situation? It sure as hell did.]
...Ellie?
no subject
That was a voice she only remembered in her dreams, now. And she was definitely awake then. But she knew how this place worked, that sometimes, sometimes the dead came there. How else would she be in this place? But at the same time she never expected that. It was like...
She glanced around, looking slightly to her left, and saw what she was looking for]
Riley...!
[her voice sounded squeaky, and she fucking hated it. Of all the times for her to lose it, and she definitely felt like she was going to lose it, everything suddenly felt so much heavier. There, not even 15 feet away, was her best friend. Hell, they almost were something more. They would have been, if not for fucking life.
What was she even waiting for?
The sticks clattered to the ground, she didn't even care what happened to them at this point, all she wanted to do was run forward and throw her arms around Riley]
Shit, I thought I'd never see you again-- When did you get here-- you know what it doesn't even fucking matter! You're here!
no subject
She's standing in a daze for what feels like an hour, but really, only a few fleeting seconds pass before she's following through with her half of the embrace. Why in the hell would she let go of this opportunity?]
You're not dead. We're... [She fights a heaving breath. Or was it some tears?] What's going on?
no subject
Okay-- this? This is Keeliai. It's as far away from Boston as you can get. There are weird aliens, we're on the back of a turtle... It's a lot to explain. There are even superheroes.
[she grinned, and then realized there was one more thing that had slipped her mind]
And best of all... no fungus. Fuck, I'm so glad to see you again.
no subject
I'm just glad that this hasn't become one big hallucination. You know, from losing my mind? [Speaking of which, that was supposed to be a mutual trip together, wasn't it? Just what happened to Ellie after she...
Never mind, Why dwell on it now? She was, for all intents and purposes, alive now. Why fuck up a good reunion now? She'll try to shake her head, removing any indication that she was deep in thought from her features, and muster a weak grin.]
But, yeah. Nice seeing you again.
no subject
She didn't want to ruin this, but it was going to happen.]
Yeah, you don't have to worry about that here. There's another woman, Tess? She was infected too, back home. But the infection's gone here. Guess that's just how it works.
[she shrugs and steps back]
Man, and you just missed this giant water balloon fight.
this is like a 6
So, you know. Curious, large baby turtle might be all up in your grill, Riley.]
Hector, how many times do I have to tell you not to go poking your nose around strangers?
no subject
She's stumbling back, but after a few less than graceful moves, she's keeping her feet planted in the ground.]
Hey! Wh--
[Yeah, she's going to stand there, completely dazed. Honestly, this place was starting to get trippier and trippier. This had to be some imaginary shit that deluded her once deteriorating mind. Even if it did feel oh so very real.]
...Whoa.
no subject
You new around here?
[The surprise on her face suggests she's pretty new - most people around here are used to the babies by now.]
no subject
[How could her dumbfounded expression say anything but the fact that she was new here? You know, wherever here was. But she'll play it cool, of course.]
What's with the giant turtle?
no subject
Hector just likes to follow me around.
[She pulls a carrot-like thing from her pocket and offers it to the turtle, which he crunches happily.]
no subject
Here I am, on my own. Guess I should be happy reptiles never creeped me out.
no subject
Just be careful one of 'em doesn't try to eat your shoes or something. They'll eat just about anything.
Not that you can't just buy another pair. [Which is totally awesome, by the way, the fact that you can.]
I'm Tess, by the way. What's your name, kid?
no subject
Pretty slowly though, right? [Here, have a brief... half-chuckle. Jokes. Yeah, they're a thing. Blame Ellie.]
Oh, yeah. The name's Riley. [She gives her a nod, and then just looks down a little, tensing. Aside from Winston,. not a lot of adults took her all that seriously. The academies were a joke. It took her ages for Marlene to treat her like something of an adult, and even then she was cold as hell. The rest of the Fireflies were... not really any better.]
no subject
Not bad. Just don't ask any of the locals about turtle soup, that's a good way to get banned from most restaurants around here. They love these guys.
