Test Drive Meme | #35


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 starts out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! It's just appeared in front of you. 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. Maybe you haven't been hired by them at all, but are using their name for your own goals... as long as no one discovers the lie!

  5. Wait... you want my what now?!
    The kedan are a curious folk, and the Foreigners are entertainment in conveniently arriving packages, especially when they come along with unique items that the kedan might not have seen before. Maybe it's your cellphone... or maybe it's your knickers! How badly do you want to keep your stuff from some overeager native shapeshifters who want to buy, bribe, or burglarize it right off your person?

  6. Sea prunes, get your sea prunes right here!
    Life in Keeliai can take a little getting used to: the chickens have scales, the cows have feathers, and the fruits come in more colour and pattern combinations than your average tye-dye shirt. Not to mention that meal you just ordered from the food vendor? Has arrived on the plate, and you're pretty sure you just saw it move.

  7. Everybody needs a little darkness...
    The Great Enemy may have been defeated over two years ago, and people are even willing to speak Malicant's name aloud now, but there remains a taint in the city never fully purged. Those who consider Malicant a dark god whose end was unjust are the cultists of Keeliai, and they aren't always so easy to identify as one might think. Sometimes their presence is felt in the growing urge to give into one's darker instincts, especially in such a foreign place...

  8. Illicit substances, anyone?
    Every city has its vices, and Keeliai is no different. Perhaps you actively sought it out, or perhaps an opportunistic dealer saw you as a potential customer needing a free sample, but you're now in possession of a packet of Lucid, an emotion-enhancing drug. Interested in finding out what happens when you crush that colourful crystal and ingest it?

  9. Incoming!
    Tu Vishan's latest landfall stop has brought an unwelcome problem to its residents: enormous, toothy creatures who look more like pterosaurs than most people are comfortable with! With a twenty-foot wingspan, these aren't exactly harmless local wildlife, and they have a nasty habit of swooping down on targets both Foreigner and kedan! How are you going to fend them off, or help someone who might have been injured by the latest dive bombing??

  10. 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? Anything goes!

"No." She had no local currency, so the hotel was the first place she'd been able to find food legitimately.

That didn't preclude having had some of the other food available, but Junior was going to go with what he had. He nodded along, ate some food for himself, then shifted his chair closer to her without getting all up in her space. "You should try that," he said with a nod to the meal she had chosen. "If it's too much at once, I can make you something a little more bland until you're used to the taste."

See? He could be thoughtful! Even if he was still relying on the outcome of his own cooking to make the impact. Most of the food here wasn't made with the assumption you had never tasted anything interesting before, and now Junior was worried that too much flavor might put her off from it entirely.

heehee whoops slightly misread

That was thoughtful! She smiled thankfully.

"Alright, thank you." The smells coming off of it were rather overwhelming, and the colors and textures visible in the stew rather intimidating. She decided to just pick an unidentifiable chunk and dive in.

She put it in her mouth and started to chew, her eyes maybe popping out slightly. She didn't speak until she'd finished chewing and swallowing. "It's very strange! Is it supposed to burn?"
androit: (✻ Face it like a grown-up)

s'all good!

[personal profile] androit 2016-01-21 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Junior looked a bit startled at the question, already moving in with his own utensil before he paused and looked up at her. "May I?" Burn could mean a few things, and it occurred to him seconds later that it might actually just be a question of the temperature rather than the taste. Who would ever bother heating up nutrient bars? Or spicing them, really, so it could be anything.

"When you say burn, do you mean it's hot?" he asked. "Or is it too much flavor?"

"No, the temperature is fine."

She gestured at the bowl and reached out to give him her fork. It had a noticeably spicy profile, but it was very mild; of course, to someone who'd never tasted spice before...

androit: (✻ 'Least out loud‚ won't say I'm in love)

[personal profile] androit 2016-01-21 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Shifting to take the offered fork, Junior swirled some of the ingredients around and searched for the same she had already picked. He brought it to his mouth, sniffed, then popped it in with little more hesitation. He could already see the problem and was starting to come up with ideas to address it.

"It's spice," he said, not at all reacting to it. Mild was putting it lightly. "Used to add flavor in a lot of things, but it's pretty overwhelming and not everyone likes it. We should try getting you something less powerful."

"I think it's okay- I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't poisoned." Someone else had been telling her that sometimes food had poisoning in it.
