Test Drive Meme | June 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 disappears 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 can also be 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!

Haytham Kenway | AC: Rogue

It was still hard to grasp the idea that this place he'd found himself in was resting on the back of some giant beast. Many times over Haytham had scoffed at what he'd been told about it all, thought those explaining everything to him to be a bit slow in the head. Nothing of that sort was possible; it was merely a children's story.

And yet, standing at the turtle's head, Haytham found himself reeling as everything became much more real.

When he'd first reached his destination along the walkways, the Templar had been thrown off by what he was seeing, torn between feeling as though he'd been drugged or that perhaps he was dreaming. It had taken the better part of a half hour for him to come to terms with it and now, standing there staring out over the water, Haytham was trying to come to terms with the fact that he was a long way from home. Not that he hadn't realized that before; no, he wasn't that deluded.

But now it weighed heavy on his shoulders and he found himself wanting nothing more than to wake up from this rather uncomfortable dream.

"Sir?"

There'll be a very familiar, very, very confused voice behind you, Haytham. Incredibly confused.

And, yet, standing there will be Shay Patrick Cormac. And he'll be staring right at you, Grand Master Kenway.

That voice is all too familiar to him and he turns to face the younger man, momentary surprise on his face.

"Shay."

He's quick to school his expression, arms going behind his back as he takes in the other, gaze sweeping over him before settling on his face as the grand master frowns slightly.

"And here I was beginning to think I was alone in this forsaken place."
irishthor: (leavemealone)

[personal profile] irishthor 2015-06-02 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
And Shay is just going to come up to stand beside him.

"It's good to see you." He admits, looking down. "How long have you been here?"

[personal profile] bringchaostoorder 2015-06-02 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"A few days, at the most," Haytham mused, eyebrow lifting as he studied the other's body language. Something was off. "How long has it been for you?"

Though he had a feeling it was much longer than himself.
irishthor: (wossat)

[personal profile] irishthor 2015-06-02 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Two months, give or take." He replies, shrugging a shoulder gently. "They say the phenomenon that brings us here can bring us from different points in time." It's said, matter-of-factly. "What's the last thing you remember, sir?"

[personal profile] bringchaostoorder 2015-06-02 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Haytham frowns outright then. Two months?

"I see." Even more unsettling than the fact that they were on the back of a giant turtle, honestly. "You persuaded me to spare the Achilles's life. I shot him and we left him in that god forsaken place to return home." Haytham pauses before glancing away from Shay towards the water again. "You?"
irishthor: (okaythen)

[personal profile] irishthor 2015-06-02 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
A slight frown. He can't remember that.

"Liam's death." He's assuming that Haytham is a bit ahead. He follows Haytham's gaze. "How much time is between us?"

[personal profile] bringchaostoorder 2015-06-02 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not much, surprisingly. That happened just before you came to find me and talk me out of killing your former teacher," Haytham said in a drawl though he was a bit wary of this entire situation. Why were they from different points in time? How was such a thing even possible? "What I cannot understand is how you have been here two months and yet I was just with you prior to my arrival here."
irishthor: (natter)

[personal profile] irishthor 2015-06-02 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't pretend to understand it, sir. There's a higher power at work, here." He frowns. "Magic in nature. And I wouldn't say such a thing unless I experienced it myself."

He shakes his head. "Keelial is... an interesting place."
