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!

[Well hello to you too.] Why do you want 50 of something you think tastes awful?

And when did you get here?

Because they look funny, and maybe we could learn to cook them. [Obviously.

Wait there was another question.] I just got here. Why, when did you get here?

You can cook? [Because all he remembers is them getting a lot of takeout.]

I've been here... it's not important.

I said learn! [Jesus Kaine, focus.]

I think it's important. I can't know if you don't tell me because I can't feel anything and they said my powers would be wonky and I wanted to know more but when I asked a couple things [Read: A lot] they told me to go away but that part it's true, I can't even float upside down!

But I still think it's important and you should tell me everything you know, I can't help if I don't know.

[It's hard to focus when he never knows where you're going to go with things.]

Six months. Six months, all right! Jeez.

And your powers will come back in a few hours. It's only temporary.

[Answers! Good, now they are getting somewhere.]

Okay then, I will tell you when they get back. Kaine is anyone else from home here? Have you met people in those sixs months? Have you been lonely? Have you been fighting? What have you been doing?

[Man, he forgot about your rapid fire questions.]

My brother's here, but technically not the same one I've been telling you about. There's apparently this thing involving multiple universes... long story short he's your age.

Of course I've met people here. I'd have to be living under a rock not to.

I don't get lonely. [...He totally gets lonely. And he really missed you.]

And I've been doing what I did in Houston. [Read: "Fight crime" (he really needs to come up with a better term for this)]

[If she already had her powers back she'd give him a tight hug. As it is she just smiles- she's energetic and curious, not dumb, and she sees through your lies Kaine.]

Good. We'll go back to fighting crime later then once I've found enough clothes to make myself a suit but now you have to bring me where your brother is, so we can meet. Let's go. [And that's all there is to it.]

Hang on a minute. I told you, that "Hummingbird" crap was a one time deal. [And he knows better than to argue with her on the second part of that statement, so he starts heading to Peter's suite.]

[Peter's just gonna chill in his apartment reading some science book. Because that's how he rolls.

Come at me, bro.

Hehe. It's funny because Kaine's totally his bro.]

Yes you did say that. [ She doesn't even discuss it, but after this they are totally making a new Hummingbird costume so whatever. Kaine says many things, but Aracely knows how much his feelings contradict his words better than most.

Have an (eagerly and excited) knock on your door, Peter.] Hiiiiiii?

Edited (I did not get the wrong bird I DID NOT ) 2014-05-09 20:36 (UTC)

For the last time, we're not superheroes.

[Must. resist. urge. to. facepalm.] Parker, I got someone you might be interested in meeting.

[Cue confusion upon opening the door. Bright, excited girl with a Kaine that's on the verge of covering his face with his hands. This can only mean one thing.]

Oh- uh- Hi?

[She isn't sure what she had been expecting. She knew Kaine was a clone (you couldn't spend 5 seconds inside of his mind and not know that much- or did that only happen to telepaths?) so she was expecting a younger 'brother' to look like him.

It's still a shock.

And she's extremely aware of the heaviness of the situation, so she just- stares, for a moment. And then she holds out a hand with an easy smile- all childish eagerness gone, she wants to do this right.]

I'm Aracely. Thanks for being here for Kaine.

She just showed up.

Oh... [It takes a second, but it clicks soon enough.] Oh! Right, uh- Nice to meet you, Aracely! Kaine's told me a lot about you.

[He smiles warmly as reaches to take her hand in a handshake.] I'm Peter.

He's told you about me! [She all but squeaks as she gives Kaine a happy look. That's good, right? Means he opened up.]

I don't know about you-you since you aren't the you Kaine's told me about, he said so. But once I get my powers back I will know all and we'll be friends! [And things seem to be going good, so she reaches to wrap her arms around Peter's neck for a hug.]

[Smiles ever so slightly at the sight. Welcome to his world, Parker.]

[He blinks in surprise for a second, confused as she pulls him into a hug. He casts a questioning look over at Kaine- she "will know all"? Did he miss something in the explanation of Aracely's powers?

But he still returns the hug, giving her a little smile and an awkward sort of pat on the back. Girls don't generally rush in to hug him on the first meeting, so he's not sure what else to do.]

Ah- Yeah, of course. And I'm sure they'll be back.. soon-ish, if you just got here.

[She soon pulls away, a little bouncy as she nods at his explanation.] Yes, I just got here. But I had time to try the sea prunes and they taste awful.

Kaine didn't let me buy 50 of them.

Because you aren't going to waste my money on 50 of something you don't even like!

[Peter blinks. He... feels weird about this, but-]

I've gotta agree with Kaine on this one.

You should save your money for like, pizza.

I do like pizza. And I'm hungry

[...] Can we get Bar-B-Que?!

[Smirks a little when she brings up Bar-B-Que. See, Parker, he wasn't exaggerating.]

Yeah, I know a good place. Parker, you hungry?

[Peter blinks first, then he smiles. Even laughs a little.]

I am, actually. Lead the way, Kaine.
