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!
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!
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...?
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...
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.
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!
And there's worry in her eyes at that -- a small knot between her eyebrows that says she has more thoughts on that than she's saying. She doesn't reveal them, though, pushing onward.
"You shouldn't be here, Steven. This place . . . I don't know if it's good. This is a dream, right? You can go back?"
Not a dream? That evokes all kinds of worries. As much as she's happy to see him, this place has dangers. It's a big city, not the little town that he's used to, and there are politics and invaders and dangers and things he would never have to face at home.
She hesitates at his next question, not sure how he'll take it. "It's a city -- a continent, almost -- on the back of a giant turtle in the middle of the ocean."
. . . Which is sinking. But she's definitely not going to tell him that. One crisis at a time.
"On the back of a giant TURTLE?!" His eyes instantly get stars in them. "That's so cool! Is it friendly? Can it talk?"
He's definitely excited by this revelation, enough to forget about his worries... and why would he, really, be worried? He's here with Lapis. He did need to get back home to deal with Peridot, but she was stranded, with no way to leave Earth, and with Pearl's tracker, they could easily track her down.
Of course, he'd have to find the other Gems first.
"Is this some sorta magic Gem turtle? I've never heard of a floating city before."

A pause.
"Wait... What about Malachite? Is Jasper here, as well?"
