Test Drive Meme | April 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 turtle shell!
  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. 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.
  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!

[Kaine has no idea when something so mundane as shopping became such habit, but here he is, buying shit that technically isn't even for him, it's for Peter's webshooters. After trying for so long to get that information out of his head, here is buying it like he would have if he had never been affected by the degeneration...

Oh look, an apple. Or whatever the hell the fruit is actually called here. If it looks and tastes like an apple, as far as Kaine's concerned it's an apple.

He reaches for the fruit, only to accidentally grab someone's hand instead. Looking over at the person to apologize, he freezes when he sees exactly whose hand it is.

Excuse him if he looks like he's seen a ghost... because, to him, he has. At least he's pulled his hand away?
]
imintrouble: (What?)

Whee! Mostly!

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-24 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I--

[ Gwen's apology is easy and natural, and so is her smile, until she actually looks at the face of the man she's bumped hands with. ]

[ A face which is, uh, familiar. Except older, and there's... difference. She can't imagine her boyfriend sporting that sort of severe buzz, for one thing. Still... ]

Peter?
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (Sober yet?)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-24 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She thinks he's Peter. His first instinct is to bolt, to just turn and run away into the crowd. But as much as he likes this idea, he also knows it's a stupid, stupid plan. If she's here on the turtle, he can't avoid her forever. He has to come up with something...

Wait, what was Reilly's cover whenever he and Parker were in the same place? Did they even have one? Damn it, say something!
]

I'm Peter's... cousin. Kaine. Kaine... Reilly.

[Smooth.]
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-24 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Peter has never mentioned a cousin, but she hasn't really asked, either. ]

Hi. I'm Gwen. Are you all right?
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (You can't be serious)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-24 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pull yourself together, idiot.]

Yeah. I'm... sorry you reminded me of someone I once knew.

How... do you know Peter?
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-24 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Um.

[ She eyes the line forming behind her for the stall, then picks the apple in question and the next one and pays for it, out of habit. Then hands him one of them, leading them both a bit to the side from the small crowd. ]

He's my classmate. And we're seeing each other.

[ The latter part is just a little awkward to say out loud, but it's true. ]
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (You don't know what you're talking about)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-24 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Takes it, but doesn't eat it.]

Oh, Empire State University, right?
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-24 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
So you are from the future, too.

[ Hah. Gwen shakes her head. ]

Midtown Science High School.
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (That scared the crap out of me)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-24 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[That causes him trip up. Wait, what? Right, maybe this is Parker's Gwen. He did say he knew her in high school. He also said she lived with him, which also boggles the mind...]

You've met people from the future?
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-24 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! Not that kind of 'too.' It's just that when I saw you just now... you look a lot like Peter, only older. So I thought maybe you're from the future or something.

Though I can't really imagine him [ She waves a hand around her head, indicating his haircut. ] looking quite like that.
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (Man in the mirror)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-24 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just... older than he is. I, uh, remember him saying something about wanting to go to Empire State so I must have gotten things mixed up.

[Runs a hand through his hair with his free hand. Yes, that's why he did it, Gwen. We're two different people, Gwen. We might look alike, but really, that's where the similarities end.
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-25 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's how it usually works with cousins, even when it's cousins that look so much alike, I think.

[ And that's why she talked about being from the future too, besides being separate. ]

[ But then she pauses, and frowns. ]

Does that mean people have expected you to be the same?
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (This is not my problem)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-25 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Not anymore. [Looks over at her, but quickly looks away when he can only see the clone from New York.

Why didn't she take his hand?
]
imintrouble: (Curious)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-25 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey. Kaine. Breathe, you don't have to talk about it.

[ She's been around police work long enough to recognize the look of really, really bad memories, it just doesn't click for her that she is the reason for them. ]

All right? You going to be all right?
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (Not my problem... not my problem...)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-25 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He waves it off.] I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

...How long have you been here.
imintrouble: (Default)

[personal profile] imintrouble 2014-04-25 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Slooow nod. ]

All right, then.

This morning. I mean, since this morning. You?
unobtainableredemption: Kaine (Not him)

[personal profile] unobtainableredemption 2014-04-25 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like 6 months now.
