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!

[Sophie just happens to be the girl he practically begged you to help him rescue, Stalk. He really needed that money. But then Gwen helped him get her out and hallucination Stalk was telling him to settle down with her and Sophie on the planet they were on (okay he knows that was the weird planet talking but still, it was said with Stalk's face).

Things are complicated, and now she's grabbing his hands and putting them on her breasts and oh, oh he did miss those.]
Both?

[But then she's dropping his hands, and he just steps closer, leaning in to take in the familiar scent of his ex. His ex who he is still in love with.] Fuck, didn't I say I wanted to? It's gonna be kinda hard, though, considering the last thing I remember is getting stabbed in the jugular. Things are complicated right now.

I did miss you though. I kept having these stupid fucking dreams.

[She can't help the glance towards his neck. Stabbed? But wasn't he talking about setting down, about another girl he wanted to fuck and Sophie? He should have been safe. She should have been safe because he was the only one who still cared about her, the only one who would miss her. He was the only man she wanted, too, but that was inconsequential.

'I mourned you', but how will he mourn her if he's also gone?
]

Tell me what happened. [She reaches for his neck, as if she was going to find the wound he talked about.] Did they go for you, too? We really shouldn't have taken that job, huh?
girlproblems: (disdain)

[The first thing he had done in the palace was check his neck as well, but there's no wound there, maybe just a scar - not that he can see it to tell. He hasn't exactly been in front of a mirror since he got here. The Will just closes a hand over hers, the one going for his neck.]

No, it wasn't- [He sighs, runs a hand over his head.] It wasn't her fault, okay? We all ate the food on this planet we crashed on. Hallucinated, tripped fucking balls. It was trying to get us to stay and become part of the ecosystem or what the fuck ever. Sophie got up behind me with a knife. It wasn't her fault.

[He doesn't remember much besides pain, but he does remember trying to tell her that - that it wasn't her fault. That he didn't blame her.]

Mhm. [Barely listening. The Will was also high, from what he's telling her, and she doubts the mysterious Sophie could have gotten the upper hand if he had been the one trying to kill her. High or not she'll have to answer for her actions if Stalk ever gets one of her hands on her. And she has a lot of those.

She entwines their fingers together when he gets her hand. Her pride had made her dismiss his cry for help, but she wonders if they could have stayed friends if things had been different. Unlikely, because of their job. A job both happen to be really good at.

Fuck-buddies?
]

So that's why you dreamed me trying to get you to stay. Because the planet wanted to? ...Or did you really want to stay with them, with Sophie, the other woman and your cat like a happy family?

[He just wishes they could have been partners still. Maybe they'd both be alive if they had put aside their hurt feelings and hurt pride and worked together to off those two deviants and bring back their monster baby. Maybe he'd be cruising around the galaxy with The Stalk, Sophie and Lying Cat like he'd dreamed.]

I don't fuckin' know. I'm not cut out to take care of a six year old but where the fuck else is Sophie gonna go? And Gwen... I like her, but I was still in love with you.
arachno: ([Spider])

[personal profile] arachno 2014-04-16 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I still love you, too. [It's whispered, but still she makes sure it's loud enough for him to hear. She might as well go for complete honesty, it's not like anything she says will go back to bite her ass. Not when she's dead, not when she doesn't have anything to go back to. And The Will does- he was stabbed. So what? He'd survived worse.

And suddenly, as she stares at the Will's face as he sorts his thoughts out her other self's advice doesn't seem so out of left field. Suddenly it all makes sense.
]

Tell me about Sophie. She's six? That is definitely too young for you.
girlproblems: (dead dog could have told me that)

[personal profile] girlproblems 2014-04-16 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[The honesty is appreciated. He's not much into lying, there isn't much point to it really, considering who his Sidekick is. At least he's not into lying when it counts, when it comes to personal matters. He manages a slight, sad smile when she says she still loves him, because it doesn't really matter but it's still nice to hear.

And then he promptly chokes a little.]
"Too young for"- Of course she's too young, that's why I came crawling back to you to partner up. I needed the money to get her off Sextillion. Keeping a kid there... That's fucked up. Gwendolyn, the Wreath girl, helped me get her off after you- [Waves a hand.] You know. Kicked it.
arachno: ([Tongue])

[personal profile] arachno 2014-04-16 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is the man she loves. This is it. And this is her looking at her life, looking at her choices.]

You're the one who told me she was too young over the phone, I was just agreeing with it. And you didn't plan ahead on what to do with her, I'm guessing?
girlproblems: (yes that is fascinating)

[personal profile] girlproblems 2014-04-17 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Stalk come on, look at this handsome, sheepish, dumb bald man with a stupid cape. You can't say you don't still want him.]

... [He really has no retort for that.] I thought I'd just- you know, drop her off with her folks or at a shelter but- Neither of those turned out to be options. And then it turned out she could track the targets down. From that Wreath job. And keeping her around seemed like a good idea because, y'know, find them, find the drone who offed you, shove my lance up his ass and out the other end.
arachno: ([Lean])

[personal profile] arachno 2014-04-25 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[The cape is nice.

She has to hold back a hum of approval because yes, that kind of talk is more like it, more like him. The Will deserves many things in life because he is, despite their jobs, a good man and the Stalk isn't going to deny him that from beyond the grave- but the Stalk is many things and 'selfless' isn't one of left. Vengeance first, keep The Will out of trouble later.
]

You did always have the ability of being at the right place at the right time... and the wrong place at the wrong time. Apparently that involves this place- wherever this is.

Are they with you? The Wreath girl and Sophie? Are they with the Lying Cat?
girlproblems: (my fucking life)

[personal profile] girlproblems 2014-05-02 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[They're both pretty far from good, it's more that The Will just has lines he won't cross. Everybody has to have a line. Some monsters are just worse than others.

But he does want vengeance for The Stalk. A part of him will probably always love her.]


Yeah, I guess so. I don't know where this is, some backwater shit of a planet in the middle of fucking nowhere I guess.

...No, they- they were with me, but I can't find any of them. Not even Cat.
