Test Drive Meme | #31


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!

"I have no idea who Jack is...and we don't have airplanes in Keeliai."

He wasn't going to trust her, so now the question became 'how hard would he fight her if she tried to move him'. She could handle whatever he threw at her, but panicking and fighting would only aggravate his injuries.

Keeliai, Keeliai...that didn't sound like anywhere in Chechnya he knew about. He also knew that the Russians had taken out the entee Chechen air force in the early days of the war, so that was probably what she meant. So she was most likely a Chechen freedom fighter. Not necessarily good, not necessarily bad.

"And where's Keeliai when it's at home?" The mountains, maybe? God, Jake would never find him there.

Oh dear, he was going to think she was crazy if she told him the truth.

"You aren't on your world anymore," she said calmly, "There are more of us, people pulled from their homelands, we're all stuck here until the Dreaming, or Eva's Spell, or whatever dragged us here lets us go home."

No point in telling him the Keeliai was on the back of a giant turtle, that would probably make him shut down completely, or laugh and hurt his ribs again.

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Too late. He was laughing already, ribs be damned.

Okay, goals:
Step 1: Seduce crazy (but hot) woman. Potentially by being pathetic.
Step 2: Escape to somewhere with a phone.
Step 3: CALL JAKE.

"Yeah. Okay. Whatever. Sounds reasonable." Clearly he was more high than he'd thought.
redlightgreenlight: (cocky)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
(Sorry dude, if China Sorrow's magic couldn't seduce her, you've got no chance.)

It sounded crazy when she first heard it too, but it was easier to digest if you weren't high on drugs, because any proof she tried to show him would be dismissed.

"You don't believe me." It was a statement, not a question. "Perhaps this will make more sense to you." She was going to twist things, had to if this guy was going to have even a chance of trusting her. "The ruler of this place brought us here against our will and so far, no one has been able to escape. Released, yes, but otherwise we are essentially prisoners on this island."

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
(What, hot women don't like nursing pathetic men back to health?)

"Island, island." Islands. Where would he be on an island? Why would he be on an island??

"So we're prisoners. No chance of a sat-phone around?"
redlightgreenlight: (Uncertain)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
(Not this hot woman, especially since she's an empath.)

"We have cellphone-like devices, but they are local use only"

Poor guy, he was quite pathetic, good thing this wasn't a year ago or she might have considered putting him out of his misery, but the though didn't even cross her mind.
accipiterrible: (What the what // hollow_art)

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
(Foiled again!)

"...okay. Local radios." He's going to be impressed when he sees them, though. He's from 1995. "Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."

Beat.

"Don't poke me in the eye with a sharp stick."
redlightgreenlight: (Unsure)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not going to poke you in the eye with a stick," she said slowly, "Now, are you going to help me get you to a doctor or are you going to make me carry you?"
accipiterrible: (Bombastic side-eye // hollow_art)

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"...I'll help." Besides, he wasn't that bad off, was he? "Can we promise not to do anything to my face, though? That's my moneymaker."
redlightgreenlight: (uncertain 3)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Your handsome face is safe, don't worry."

She switched sides to keep weight off his injured ankle. Gently lifting his arm over her neck and shoulders and pulling him against her to support his weight as she lifted him to his feet.

"We'll go slow, if you need a break, let me know."
accipiterrible: (Bombastic side-eye // hollow_art)

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
'Handsome'? Aw yes. Even beat half to death, he's still got it.

He hissed a little in pain as he was pulled to his feet. "So...what kind of doctor are we talking? Is this going to be the kind of thing where I bite on a strip of leather and pray, or?"
redlightgreenlight: (Unamused)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a difficult question to answer, especially since she was playing along as if they were back on his world, or some semblance of his world.

"Our doctors are very good, it will be fairly painless, I promise."

Raine could heal with her magic, so could Aqua and, to an extent, Cain. So it wasn't a lie.
accipiterrible: (facepalm // hollow_art)

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-17 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"'Fairly painless' are words that don't exactly inspire confidence," he said lightly, limping along beside her.
redlightgreenlight: (small smile)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-17 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Trust me," she said for what seemed to be the tenth time, "They are very good. It's almost magical"

Right, well, now she sounded crazy again.

"If magic was a thing anyway."
accipiterrible: (Default)

[personal profile] accipiterrible 2015-10-18 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Sure. Okay." Hey, as long as the cure wasn't worse than the affliction, he'd try anything at this point. Up to and including goat eyeball stew.

"What the hell is wrong with my wrist? Have people been putting cigarettes out on me?" Damn, he shouldn't have said that. Now he really wanted a smoke. The joke was said lightly, to help him avoid thinking about the vague memory of the branding iron and the pain so intense he'd passed out.
redlightgreenlight: (expressionless)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2015-10-18 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She didn't look at his wrist, focusing on keeping him balanced.

"That's one way of looking at it," she said, not wanting to make him focus on it for too long. he seemed in good spirits despite the pain he was in, but she knew it wouldn't last.
accipiterrible: (Grin // hollow_art)

"Well, shit, the least they could do would be to offer me one, too. Pretty fucking rude, to burn a guy with your cigarette and not let him at least have a puff or two," he says, pouting a little for comedic effect.
