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!

[She laughs]

You might be the first foreigner who has ever stooped to digging through trash in order to make money.

[A pause and she tips her head.]

That is what you are doing, right?
helluvachin: (Give me time to think)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-24 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, no, I mean not really.

[He reaches into the bag pulling out what looks like a child's broken toy.]

I like to fix stuff and people throw out stuff they think is useless so...

[Riah simply shrugs, no longer looking at the stranger on the roof.]

If no one else wants it then I'll find ways to use it.
redlightgreenlight: (expressionless)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-24 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stares at him blankly ad then shrugs as well]

To each their own, I suppose.
helluvachin: (Give me time to think)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-24 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riah looks up only to see her starring at him and looks again. An uneasy feeling begins to slowly crawl down his spine.]

Guess so.

[He drops the toy back into his bag and throws it over his shoulder.]

Is there something I can do for you or...?

[There must be some reason she started talking to him right?]
redlightgreenlight: (Unsure)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-24 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, sensing his unease, but not particularly caring.]

Not really, unless you care to offer your name?
helluvachin: (Face of a stranger)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-24 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riah hesitates, but can't find any reason not to tell her. The only thing bothering him is his own dislike for being starred at.]

You can call me Zachariah.
redlightgreenlight: (Happy 2)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-24 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, Zachariah.

[She pushes off the roof and hits the ground, rolling back up to her feet as she lands. She tosses her hair back over her shoulder and begins to walk back toward the main road.]

I'm sure we'll see each other again.
helluvachin: (Give me time to think)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-24 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nearly leaps to catch her when she suddenly pushes herself off the roof. When she lands it surprises him that she managed to avoid hurting herself. Someone must spend a lot of time jumping off rooftops.]

Uh, yeah I guess...

[As she walks away he remembers she never offered her name in return.]

Hey wait, who are you?
redlightgreenlight: (Over shoulder 2)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-24 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[So she was showing off a bit, she rarely got to these days and she simply couldn't resist and the look on Zachariah's face was totally worth it. She turned around when he called after her.]

My name is Valdis.
helluvachin: (Never stop moving)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-25 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Riah nods his head.]

Valdis. Okay. I'll remember it.

[Shouldn't be too hard. He doesn't see many people jumping off rooftops after all.]

You might want to be careful though. Sneaking up on people. Jumping around like that. You could get hurt.

[The advice comes from a place of genuine concern.]
redlightgreenlight: (Smiling 2)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-25 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs. It's cute that he's concerned but...]

I am far sturdier than I look.

[One of the perks of being immortal.]
helluvachin: (Give me time to think)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-25 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that she's laughing at him he starts to feel a little embarrassed.]

Being too cocky gets you killed.

[But he doubts she'll listen to him any.]
redlightgreenlight: (cocky)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-25 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
So does being too curious.

[She laughs again, then sighs and fixes him with a brilliant smile]

But, like the cat, I just keep coming back.
helluvachin: (Face of a stranger)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-25 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[When she smiles his head dips down to look at his feet, again feeling embarrassed. Maybe he should have just let her go without saying anything.]

Just trying to give advice. That's all.
redlightgreenlight: (expressionless)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2016-01-25 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
There's no need to feel embarrassed.

[She feels slightly guilty for messing with the poor boy.]

It's sweet of you to worry, but most of the foreigner women know how to care for themselves.
helluvachin: (Face of a stranger)

[personal profile] helluvachin 2016-01-25 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Man on woman doesn't matter. When you take too many unneeded chances they catch up.

[He should just stop talking. Even if she's being polite it looks like she doesn't want his advice.]

I'm sorry I said anything. Just nevermind me.
