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!

These days Zachariah had real trouble talking to people, especially someone as pretty as Inara. He knew he was going to make a fool of himself somehow but someone needed to let her know she was being followed. So if no one else was going to do it then that someone had to be him.

Even as he approached her he already started to feel nervous. The large crowd certainly did little to help. When Zachariah actually reached her his throat felt dry and he realized he was just walking beside her without actually saying anything. That probably looked a little suspicious.

"Uh...there's a...um.." Zachariah stopped to swallow the sudden lump forming in his throat.

"There's someone following you." This time his words came out so fast it would be a miracle if she understood him.

Inara was surprised to see someone approach her and it was clear he was nervous. It didn't seem to be an act but she wouldn't laugh at him even if she thought it was rather cute.

She gave him time to speak when he was ready, only looking over at him as they walked. When he blurted out his warning, she smiled gratefully. She was able to pick out the gist of what he was saying as she gave a nod.

"I am aware. They have been following me just after I arrived in the market," she said with a soft laugh. "But, thank you for telling me. You have my appreciation."

"Oh..." Well so much for helping her. Now Zachariah felt a little silly suddenly blurting things at her like that. He lowered his gaze and began scratching the back of his neck.

"Do you want any help then?" Maybe Zachariah could talk to her stalker and get them to leave. That was a very optimistic thought on his end though. Talking to her was hard enough for him. Getting a pickpocket to leave someone alone was likely well beyond him.

But where talking failed Zachariah felt confident he could knock some sense into them. He just really wanted to avoid violence.

"I believe we will be alright. It's merely a curious child hoping to get to know someone who is foreign," Inara assured him as she offered her arm for him to take so he could walk with her.

"Accompany around the market? Perhaps having an escort will discourage any followers," she suggested kindly. She didn't want to send him into a confrontation with anyone who most likely didn't mean any harm. She could fight her own battles anyway.

If she looked at his face she might almost see the smoke about to pour from Zachariah's ears when she offered her to him. He knew he was supposed to do the gentlemanly thing and take it, but it had been nearly a decade since another human being even shook his hand. The sheer anxiety nearly made him start running for the hills.

"S-sure, I mean, if...if you want. Not uh, not real sure I'm great company though."

But he did it. With the most nervous of smiles Zachariah took her arm. His face felt like it was about to burst into flames at any moment.
