Test Drive Meme | January 2015


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!
  1. 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!

  2. Dramatic Chase Sequence!
    You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children! 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...?

  3. Where There's A Will, There's A...?
    The Life and Dreaming Planes have been merged, and sometimes what start out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! Though it may only stay for a short while before it disppears again, so make it count. Hopefully you're not the type to daydream about terrible things befalling people you don't like...

  4. SECRET UNDERCOVER MODE ACTIVATE!
    The three major kedan families all have their own agendas, and you've chosen to entangle yourselves with one (or more!) of them. Are you hoping to shift the balance of power? Gain some favours? Perhaps you're on a mission to bring a criminal to justice, or maybe you just want to get the cream of the crop from the black market.

  5. 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!

[Vav shrugs.]

Just seems a little counter-intuitive, innit.

[Then the clicky thing approaches, and he freaks out.] Gah! [he says, jumping, and his scream is delightfully high-pitched. Then he crouches to look at it.] Ello there.
merb: (Default)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-01 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, don't break it!

[ This was terrible, they were equally freaked out by little things. But then Stork relaxes (marginally) when he sees Vav stoop to check out the little mechanical creation, which has little ticky sprockets for wheels and a rotating light. It doesn't look like he's going to damage it. ]

It senses energy signatures. Or, once it's properly powered it will.
slomoguy: (Way too pleased with myself // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaand Vav has descended into baby talk.] Lookit how cute it is, it's a little wiggly clickything! [Not as cute as ORF, but he's gonna cut Stork some slack, he's working out of a trashcan here.]

What kind of energy signatures?
merb: (✈ i can see a pattern emerging)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-02 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Stork doesn't mind, because machines generally better than people. ]

Crystal energy! I haven't found a single crystal anywhere. That's why I'm trying to find enough materials for a frequency tuner.

[ He shows Vav the coil of wire, and then points a four-fingered hand towards the small pile of parts he's recovered. One does indeed look like a tuning fork, others are tools, and others could possibly be attachments with some tinkering. ]
slomoguy: (Oops // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-04 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hilda would agree with you there, Stork.]

I didn't know crystals had energy, [Vav says, glancing at Stork's collection of bits and bobs. Hilda also might know what to make of all this, but he's at a bit of a loss.]
merb: (✈ where'd you get that bruise)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-07 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
... how else would you power everything? Mechanical energy went out ages ago-- well, except on Terra Clockstoppia, but that was a weird case.
slomoguy: (Hold up // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-07 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...mechanical energy, I guess? And nuclear power? [And whatever dangerous power source makes his gloves and X-Ray's glasses go.] Electricity? Batteries??
merb: (✈ more ships on our starboard)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-10 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Stork looks oddly at Vav, but ultimately shrugs. He's already seen how different this place is from Atmos... maybe everywhere is different from Atmos. The merb glances out at the direction Vav had dasehd in from, then hunches his shoulders. ]

Why were you running? Should we be running?
slomoguy: (Oops // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-11 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Er... [Vav scratches the back of his head.] I accidentally used my slo-mo powers on some of those Snake characters, and they were right pissed. [He peeks his head out the alley.] I think they're gone now.
merb: (✈ what do you expect me to do)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-12 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Stork just looks Vav up and down and gives him a look like did you really expect me to have context for that. ]

Still... maybe we shouldn't stick around. I've gotten all I'm going to get from this spot anyway.

[ He packs his findings into a bag with rapid efficiency, and collects the little detector bot, cradling it carefully. ]

slomoguy: (Hold up // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-14 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Vav rocks back on his heels.]

Right, er. Where to next?
merb: (✈ i can see a pattern emerging)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-14 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
I need somewhere to put all of this together. You haven't come across anywhere that'd make a good workshop, have you?
slomoguy: (The dance of my people // chatvert)

[personal profile] slomoguy 2015-02-20 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, I think I saw some empty-looking warehouses when I was runnin' away...
merb: (✈ i know the answer to that)

[personal profile] merb 2015-02-20 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
That... will do just fine.

[ And onward to the warehouses they go. The first thing that Stork does once they're inside is rig what looks like an aerosol can and an abacus to the doorway, and he does it in about six seconds flat before turning to poke around the area. ]
