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 turtle shell!
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...?
Darker Days
Malicant's flexing his chaos muscle and causing havoc on the shell! You could run into some evil cultists in a dark alley, try to infiltrate the possessed palace, or work on hacking the console function back from the technopathic baddie.
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!

[The clothing shop was a bit of a mess after the attacks and Rapunzel was just getting to making things look presentably again. Maybe in the grand scheme of things a clothing shop wasn't a priority in a war, but Rapunzel thought that it still might provide a comfort to people.

Currently, she was hanging off the roof of the building, sitting in a self-made swing of her own hair and was painting the side of the building that had been repaired most recently. It's an odd sight to be sure, but Rapunzel looked perfectly content. Though passing by there might be a few paint droplets falling down.]

[So perhaps the pirate hadn't exactly made the best move in angering a local gang by conning them out of some money and laying out half of their friends, with a stolen sword mind you. Said sword was currently hanging from his belt as he rounded a corner at a fast clip and spotted the young lady hanging from the roof of a shop.

In his defense, he didn't realize it was her hair she was sitting on. He made a leap, snagging the long tresses with his good hand and briefly realized it wasn't rope, or fabric... a split second later he was swinging his hook up to catch the edge of the roof and pull himself up. He did his best not to upset the young lady and knock her from her swing in his climb.

He hoped the men chasing him wouldn't bother the poor girl and with only a brief apology started off across her roof.

Only to find a weak spot that hadn't been quite fully repaired, which he ended up tumbling through. Lucky for the both of them the three men chasing him just ran on past without so much as a look. Meanwhile the pirate will be groaning from the floor, or whatever he happened to have landed on.]

[Rapunzel let out a startled cry as he grabbed hold of her hair. She had been getting used to other people touching her hair since she'd been brought away from home, but she certainly wasn't used to a stranger grabbing it so roughly and using it as leverage of all things. She panicked, afraid someone had finally realized her power and had come to take it, and screamed and almost fell out of her self-made nest.

It wasn't until she realized that just as quickly as the man had grabbed her hair he let it go and continued on his way. Breathless, Rapunzel pulled herself up to the roof so that she could follow his movements. When she saw him run across the roof she shouted out a warning that came too late.

She dropped back down to the ground, collected up her hair, and hurried into the shop through the door. She hurried over to where the man had landed, but still kept a small distance between them. With no idea what his motives were she was hesitant to let him near her hair. He certainly seemed like the ruffian or thug type to her.]

...Are you alright?

[The Captain rolled over onto his side with a groan, getting his arm under him and shaking off bits of the roof. He glanced up at the girl, raising his good hand to ruffle his hair to get the dust out.]

Aye, just bruised me ego I think.

[With a sigh he'll slowly stand using whatever he could near by to help himself up. His hip was hurting him something fierce from having landed on it, that'll certainly bruise but at least nothing was broken. He favored it a little, choosing to put his weight on the other leg for a bit. His eyes go to the hole in the roof and he winced, giving the girl an apologetic look.]

Sorry about that love. And uhm... [Motioning to the bundled hair.]

I didn't hurt you did I?

Oh, no. [Rapunzel ran a hand through her hair and collected a bunch of it up in her arms. The initial pull on her hair had hurt slightly, but only because she hadn't seen it coming. She was used to pulling weight with her hair. He'd startled her more than anything. Her heart was still racing, though she played it cool.]

It's fine. I'd think crashing through a roof would hurt more than a little hair pull.

[She narrowed her eyes slightly.]

Are you sure you're okay? I help out at the hospital here so I could take a look if you wanted.

Aye, don't worry that pretty little head of yours lass, I've had worse.

[And his smile did look awfully convincing, all charm and bright, beautiful, blue eyes. It was a partial-lie. He could take quite a beating but, truth be told, he'd never fallen through a roof before.

In fact his whole stubborn, strong facade would crumble the moment he straightened up and and tried to walk straight. The first step had been a mistake, using his wounded leg first and applying his weight to it had him nearly topple over. He caught himself, hissing slightly. Nothing was broken but it still hurt like the dickens.

Okay, so, maybe he should sit down and let her have a look, he was feeling a little dizzy. He did have a good knock to the head.]

Oh!

[Rapunzel gasped and hurried forward, forgetting that maybe she should be more cautious. She offered her shoulder to him so that he could lean on her.]

Please. Sit down. I don't think you should be walking on that just now.

[He'll hesitate a moment as he fights with his own manly stubbornness but he'll concede and take that offered shoulder. He loops his arm around her thin shoulders and carefully hobbles wherever she leads him to have a seat. He'll do his best not to put too much weight on her, afraid to bear down on such a petite lass. Once to a place to sit he'll be careful not to drag her down, shifting his weight just enough to easily lower into a chair or onto a stool.]

Aye, perhaps you're right. [His good hand goes to his ribs a moment, head still being a little spinny on him. He shakes it off.]
