Test Drive Meme | March 2014

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. 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.
  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!

[Ellie paused.

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!

[There she was. It wasn't it an illusion, or a dream, or a delusion. It was real. It... felt real.

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?

[she didn't think she'd ever see Riley again, and then there she was, hugging her. And it wasn't a dream. Ellie had always been pretty grateful to be in Keeliai instead of back home, but this just really sealed the deal for her. She grinned and separated]

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.

Kee... li-ai. Okay. [What a weird name. But hell, she'd take a place called Little Bunny Foo Foo Land if it meant being alive again, and not a living corpse waiting to bleed and slobber over unsuspecting victims.]

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.
mightythinice: Sir Cumference. (The roundest guy at Sir Arthur's table?)

It's a weird name, I know. [she grins, though the grin falters a little bit when Riley mentions losing her mind. She knew it was going to come up, how could it not? Their last moments together had been Ellie watching Riley slowly succumb to the fungus, while remaining as obnoxious as ever.

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.
