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!

John would have been of the same school of thought on that markets were almost always entertaining. Thing was that he preferred to be the one watching the show instead of being part of it. Waving off the boldest of the would be pickpockets, John tucked his lighter into his trenchcoat. Should be safe there.

On a regular day back in the 'real' world, Kevas would have made John pause and take a look around him to see if anyone else was seeing this. Having been here a day or two, strange things were starting to be more commonplace. His fingers itched to take the Scry Glass hanging on a cord around his neck to peer through it at the speaker.

Maybe it was the voice. The timber of it reminded him of a certain New Orleans voodoo master. Ew.

"They're small enough to learn. Still hope for them."

Learn things such as it probably wasn't a good idea to try and reach into the pocket of the Laughing Magician's beloved trenchcoat. It might nip them. Or be bought off for a great piece of pocket lint.

"And who might you be? Nice hat, by the way."

All Constantine would find is one-hundred percent pure troll. Even among this strange city Kevas had yet to find another troll like himself. There were plenty of humans to be found and others that were definitely not-so-human, but so far no sign of other trolls. That bothered him if only because it made him stand out more than he wanted. At least many kedan here looked stranger still, making it a little easier to blend in when he wanted.

"Dat dere be," Kevas replied as he watched the would be pickpockets finally give up. He thought about finding them later and giving them a few tips to improve their skill. Nothing wrong with adding a little more uncontrolled chaos to an already chaotic city.

"It be one of a kind," he went on, focusing on Constantine again with a tip of his hat. "Call me Kevas. So who be you?"

John watched the pickpockets and his new company for the same reasons: he liked keeping what was his on him. Cut off from home, his supplies were limited until he found an equal source for replenishment. Salt from one dimension might not work in a warding circle in another. Magic was strange like that. If no one was confused, they had no idea what was going on.

John returned the tip of the hat with a nod of his own. The fact he didn't offer a hand like most humans would have was part relief and part confirmation. Only humans were dumb enough to put a fragile hand into someone else's grip to be crushed.

"John Constantine. New around here. I don't doubt that's one of a kind."

Not only because no person John knew would buy or wear something like that except the streetwalkers or pimps.

"Kevas. Can't say I've heard that name except for that knitwear shop down the street. Seemed to like their bright colors. Those Kendan always either too brave or too scared of us?"

Lately no one got Kevas' name unless he felt like giving it. He liked to keep a low profile until he got his plans rolling, and since he currently had no plans beyond learning about this strange new place, keeping a low profile was his utmost goal for now.

"Maybe I just really like my knittin'." Except he didn't know a thing about knitting. No reason to give anymore straight answers about himself than he already had.

"Can't say I be knowin' too much about da mons here myself," Kevas went on with a shrug. "Ain't been here to long neither."

"It was popular in the city. Chas even got seatcovers from there. Who makes skyblue knitted seacovers with fluffy white clouds. Said it matched the yellow taxi."

John's mouth could run on and say little, an old trick he often used like a magician keeping the audience focused on the rabbit instead of the stand the hat was on. Without his reference library back in the Mill, that was the only ping his mind had on the name. A strange on that could be a lot of things.

"Where did you come from? Can't see that hat being at home at many places."

Or the rest of him, but John was learning others took this as ho hum normal.
