Test Drive Meme | #36


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!

Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir - Miraculous Ladybug

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-10 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[6. Sea prunes, get your sea prunes right here! (Adrien)]

[Adrien is used to weird. Paris gets besieged by a great amount of weird on an almost weekly basis. Even as a civilian, it would be hard to miss the multi-coloured supervillains running around wrecking stuff. You'd have to work very hard not to notice that sort of thing.

As such, the general weirdness of Keeliai doesn't put him off too much. In fact, it's nice to see non-evil weirdness for a change. He's been watching the scaley chickens with a soft smile of amusement. Birds are cool, and it's nice to be able to watch them without feeling like his sinuses are going to start a revolt against him.

He's so engrossed in watching the birds that he doesn't realise his food is making a break from his plate until his fork hits cardboard instead of delicious...whatever it was. He looks down, and lo and behold, his food is sliding off the plate and landing on the floor with a wet SLOP.
]

AUGH! What the heck?

[All he wanted was some food. Why doesn't the universe want him to eat? ]

[9. Incoming! (Chat Noir)]

[Now THIS was more like it. Danger! People to save! Fantastic acts of heroism! The flying dinosaur-y things show up, and it only takes ducking behind a building and a quick transformation later and Chat Noir is ready for the case. Bystanders get the delights of watching a masked boy in a black leather catsuit racing out from some hidden corner, ready to take names and kick ass. Maybe not even in that order.

It's not the same without Ladybug. They are, after all, a team. But these creatures are not born of akumas, so he doesn't have to worry about releasing the corruption within them, which is Ladybug's domain. He can absolutely settle on what he does best. Kicking butt and bantering.

He leaps up onto the roof of the nearest building, extending his staff, waiting for juuuuust the right moment before vaulting off, swinging the staff like a bat, whacking one of those things out of the dive it was making to some poor soul. Maybe it was you. Maybe you were just watching.

Regardless, Chat laughs, from the sheer delight that comes from being Chat. The beast flaps awkwardly taking back to the sky, and Chat prepares his staff for another takedown, grinning like a lunatic.

Didn't your mother ever tell you it was rude to dine and dash?
yoyoparkour: (To know what’s right)

6! I'm sorry...

[personal profile] yoyoparkour 2016-02-10 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so. Maybe she's been kind of following Adrien, just a little. And maybe when he sat down to watch the birds it was the perfect time to stare at him and admire him while he wasn't paying attention.

Maybe Marinette is a little bit obsessive, but it comes from a pure place. Adrien is just so wonderful, it's hard not to be head over heels in love with him.

And she is better, ever since he helped her with her uncle. She can manage conversations with him a little bit better, but her confidence is still... well it's still pretty low, so she sticks to admiring him from far, far away.

But when his food escapes... well, that's a good opening, isn't it? And it's sad, how upset he looks. So she runs off, and when she comes back it's to thrust a new plate of those weird prunes he was eating at him.]


I-if you want the rest of mine...
purrns: (Sittin' on a fence)

never be sorry.

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Adrien is honestly really glad that Marinette is here. Okay, maybe glad is the wrong word seen as they're both stuck here. But this sort of thing is so much easier with a friend.

He's long since dismissed her... eccentricities around him as just a Marinette thing. Something that would be rude to point out. She probably can't help...whatever it is.

He takes the plate (largely because it's being shoved at him and it's that or let her drop it) with a warm, friendly smile.
]

Are you sure? I wouldn't want you to go hungry.
yoyoparkour: (Cause it’s only in the quiet)

[personal profile] yoyoparkour 2016-02-11 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! [Oh wow, volume control Marinette. She tries again as she tucks her hands behind her back.] I mean, I'm sure. I can get more if I get hungry.
purrns: (Ain't got enough dough)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-11 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives a small, nervous laugh at the lack of volume control. ]

Well, thanks, Marinette.

[He gives it a prod with his fork, in case it's playing dead and is about to start moving.]

You know, I've eaten some pretty weird stuff in my time, but nothing that's ever tried to crawl off the plate before. That's new. Also creepy.
yoyoparkour: (But it’s too hard to avoid)

[personal profile] yoyoparkour 2016-02-12 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[This is why she really, really, really really really needs Alya as a buffer. Still, she hasn't fallen on her face yet and she's not staring while he eats, this is some form of progress. She's just standing beside him rocking forward on the balls of her feet, but then he talks to her so it's less like awkwardly hanging around him for no reason.]

It makes me wonder what my uncle would think. I don't think he'd put these in his soup.
purrns: (I'm flat broke)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-12 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. I'm pretty sure "not-quite-dead-prune-thing" isn't really on the top of anyone's list when it comes to a fancy meal.

[But at least it's edible. An honestly, a part of him welcomes food like this. Food that's not prepared by whatever top chef his father employed that much, to land on the table for him to eat alone. This sort of thing feels more...natural. Besides, it's nice to actually be able to talk to someone while he eats. It's a novelty. ]

Nino would probably eat it, though. He once ate a sandwich he'd dropped in a muddy puddle. [He pulls a face, but his tone is affectionate all the same. ] That was pretty gross.
impendings: (through the starry sky out there)

9.

[personal profile] impendings 2016-02-17 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Meidhbhín had been watching the creature dive at her with a hardly-bemused expression, having not been attempting to get out of the way. When Chat swats it away with his staff, she laughs a little, amused at his antics, and addresses him with a thick brogue. ]

You look like you're having quite a bit o'fun, lad. Though I daresay, that birdie might have found me a bit of an unwelcome taste, had it tried.
purrns: (🐾 I strut right by)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-18 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[People here are distinctly different than the ones at home. Or at least, most of the Foreigners are. These aren't helpless bystanders like the people he has to get out of the way in Paris. Most of them could even take a hit or two.

As such, he's a little more relaxed that usual, leaning on his staff and giving her a wink.
]

Sounds like you've got some bite all of your own, huh?
impendings: (against the wintry sky)

[personal profile] impendings 2016-02-26 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, he's a little cutie, so confident like that. Meidhbhín wants to pat him on the head, but restrains. ]

Just a bit of spice, I suppose.

I've never seen things like those creatures though, and I've seen many a type like you'd hardly believe.
purrns: (🐾 Too late to go back to sleep)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-26 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[If she did, he would probably purr. ]

Same here. At least the guys I fight have more banter. And dumb names, that too.

[He sighs, shaking his head in mock sadness. ]

It's a real disa-paw-intment.
impendings: (against the wintry sky)

[personal profile] impendings 2016-02-29 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't tempt her, Chat!

Meidhbhín looks at him for a moment, as if not sure she heard that correctly, before she begins to laugh. ]


Is that right? I suppose by comparison, you would be the cat's meow?
purrns: (🐾 It's time to try defying gravity)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-02-29 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not his favourite pun (thanks, Copycat) but he will take it in the nature in which it was given. He flashes her a grin.]

Naturally! I wouldn't ant to put the cat among the pigeons [actually, don't, he's has allergies ] but I'm miles more purrfessional than those losers.
impendings: (still waiting for some favouring tide)

[personal profile] impendings 2016-03-03 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'll leave the puns to you as the expert. ]

You sound like you're used to doing things like this. Makin' a habit of saving people, do you?
purrns: (🐾 And you can't bring me down)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-03 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He should get a degree in punology. ]

Sure do. [He'll run a hand through his hair, striking a pose. ] You happen to be in the presence of a real-life superhero. The name's Chat Noir.
