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!

Her words earn a chuckle, low and sincere and Jay shoots Elizabeth a glance. There's a pause from the man at the sight of her, before he looks again to the squirming item on his plate. While Jay might seem a little unsure of the food, he's certainly amused and most definitely up for the challenge.

"Not gonna lie, I'm wondering if I have to stick it with a fork or somethin' before I eat it," he answers, voice a little lower than before and words just for Elizabeth.

Jay leans a little her way and shoots her a mischievous look. "You're not gonna run screaming if I just bite into it, are you?"

Because that would definitely ruin his day.

Elizabeth raises her chin and her bright blue eyes gleam. "I think you'll find it takes more than that to unnerve me," she said defiantly. "Maybe I'll have one too, and then I can ask you if you'll run screaming."
jayotic: (i get you man)

Now that gets a grin. The girl has fight in her and that is something Jay can respect. "In that case, maybe you should."

Not waiting for a definite reply from Elizabeth, Jay orders a second helping of the 'special' for his new companion. "Bon appétit, my dear lady. I promise to keep my manly shrieking to a minimum."

With a wink, Jay picks up the purple, wiggling tentacle-like fruit and takes a large bite from it. Whatever it is, it's juicy, and sure as he'd been that it was some kind of fruit or veg, now that he's tasted it, he's really not so sure.
isochrone: (far beyond even her hand's intention)

With the wager made, Elizabeth doesn't even consider backing down from the challenge, even though the squirming thing that arrives courtesy of Jay's second order. She bites into hers just a half-second behind him, and although her nose wrinkles mightily at the texture -- because oh god, it's still moving, how is she supposed to chew this? -- before she manages to swallow.

It's a taste unlike anything she's ever tried before, but then, she hasn't had a world of ingredients to experiment with. "Well," Elizabeth says after clearing her throat a little more forcefully than normal. "It's... interesting..."

He's impressed. He's impressed and he doesn't even try to hide it. If he's honest, Jay expected her to back down but there she is, keeping pace with him. The girl earns a side-ward look, his amusement clear as he does so.

"Now that is some chewy, gooey, weird whatever the fuck that was, right there!" Jay exclaims, triumphantly and takes another bite. Through a thankfully smaller mouthful, he continues. "Interesting is an understatement."

"Exactly that," Elizabeth agrees without reservation, poking at the-- why is it still moving and not entirely managing not to look equal parts alarmed and dismayed by that. "I admit, even my earliest cooking attempts didn't come out quite so... lively. Although I did make an impressively solid bunt cake, once. I actually dented the floor, when I dropped it."
