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!

[Instantly far more comfortable with this situation, Mike raises both browridges at April and gives her a look.]

The full name only gets broken out when I've done something wrong, or Leo's feeling extra lecturey for God knows what. And the only thing I'm guilty of is not catching on sooner.

You're from somewhere else where there's someone like me. Not exactly, but like, a couple of steps to the left. Right? Am I close, April O'Neil?

No way. Mikey's different. Way different.

[Ow her head.]

So wait did you jump through some kind of portal? Or... did someone push me into one?

[Being dragged to crazy places by aliens and stuff happens to her a lot. A lot.]
michaeljangelo: (Sipping)

I've gotten that a lot. I understood it more when I met a Mikey. Cute kid, but...I think he might have been a couple of tacos short of a combination plate.

[Oooh speaking of plates! There's a full picnic here, and Mike's already got a bag of porkrinds in hand. Excellent! All the easier to munch on them.]

I don't know were you came from, but I can tell you where are now. This is the Dreaming. It's um...well, it's kind of exactly what you'd think a place called the Dreaming would be.

You get here. You think of something. Your thoughts control the environment. I'm a big fan of the Turtle Pond. So I'm a cliche, sue me.

Mikey's heart is in the right place, but... well, there's a reason we don't let him touch anything during missions.

[April won't bother manipulating anything in Dreaming. She doesn't know where her mind would go.]

No, I get it. Sometimes you want some fresh air after being in the sewers so long.

So how do I wake up?
michaeljangelo: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2014-04-08 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
You don't. We're not sleeping, we're just in the Dreaming. It's like...a different plane of existence. You leave the same way you came in.

It...makes sense if you squint.

[personal profile] notafakekunoichi 2014-04-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thaaaat might be a problem. I have no idea how I got here.

But I sort of get it. I think.
michaeljangelo: (Concerned)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2014-04-08 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.
Well. Erm...maybe you like...need to think really hard? Or like click your heels together three times or something?

[personal profile] notafakekunoichi 2014-04-08 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, but first-- what did you mean about me belonging to your cousin?

[NOT LETTING THAT GO SORRY.]
michaeljangelo: (Sheepish)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2014-04-08 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He winces. She just had to remember that, right?]

...cripes I wish donnie were here. So okay. There are like..infinite universes. With infinite possibilities. You're from one, I'm from another. The turtles you know, aren't me, and I'm not the turtles you know. But...we're all turtles.

So...cousins. Brother just seemed so...personal.

[personal profile] notafakekunoichi 2014-04-17 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah she's not letting it go.]

Then you mean I belong to their world, right?

[Right? Right?]
michaeljangelo: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2014-04-17 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
And them...for a given level of...belong....

You could be anyone with the name April O'Neil. I mean, I'm sure there's tons of people with your name, but you're the only you. You're the only one with that relationship. I mean...if I'd met you first and were talking to your Don, I'd call him April's Don.

[It's all said so fast, in an effort to backpedal to a stronger highground.]
