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!
androit: (✻ See our relationship is stable?)

[ He pauses, watches himself eat his words, then cracks a grin and shakes his head. While he speaks, he's moving to wipe it up and disinfect the countertop. ]

Now we start mixing all of them together into one bowl and make sure everyone gets along really well. That's the hard part, your arm is probably going to get sore.
forcefilled: (you know you love it)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Cue one eyebrow arching. Then the other. More mixing? She's just won her first and only lightsaber duel, mixing should be nothing.

She regrets her thoughts about five minutes later when her arm is most definitely sore. She looks to him with an expression that says you do this for fun?
]

You should have better arms, if you do this every day.
androit: (✻ Put your venom in me)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?

[ He looks more amused than insulted, but his head cants to the side like he doesn't quite get what she's saying. ]

Is that a please take over for me while I go let my arm fall off for a while, Junior?
forcefilled: (my persuasion can build a nation)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

[Her smile is warm but embarrassed as her teasing backfires against her. She's a good sport about it and passes the bowl over to him.]

Your arms are fine the way they are.

[Obviously.]
androit: (✻ Take me down the line)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Junior just shrugs and gives her a grin for that, takes the bowl and picks up where she left off. He obviously doesn't have any trouble with it. ]

Well, thank you. I do try. I just don't bulk up all that well, apparently. You lasted longer than I thought you would.
forcefilled: (disrespect us no they won't)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Now it's her turn to not look sure if she should be offended. Her head tips to the side and she watches him.]

Why, because I'm a girl?
androit: (✻ The things that I will do)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He tilts his head back and forth inconclusively. ]

Because you've never baked before.
forcefilled: (this beat is crazy)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tries not to laugh. She does. She feels like she's smiling and laughing entirely too much around him. She fails at keeping her laughter in and just shrugs off his comment with her hand up to try and mask her smile.]

Just wait until I get you under a speeder.

[It sounds like a threat. But it's not. She wants to teach him something she knows in exchange for his help here.]
androit: (✻ I'll lay your ship bare)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He narrows his eyes for the statement, trying to figure her out. The laughter is good, but... ]

What, like driving over me?
forcefilled: (don't be scared to run this back)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[Her laughter stops immediately and she shakes her head in embarrassment.]

No. To show you how to work repairs.
androit: (✻ Count your blessing)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh! He laughs, surprised, and grins for her. ]

That's cool. I've never been much for machines, so we'll file that one under "completely new experience".
forcefilled: (you better not play me)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks over at him, smiling. He's so positive. She almost feels like she doesn't deserve to know someone like this.]

Your hands will get rough if you do it often enough.

[She glances down at her hands. They've been roughened by years of living and working in the desert.]

It doesn't matter when you're baking. But with other things...

[She shrugs.]

What's the next step?
androit: (✻ Make a home down there)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Rough hands aren't bad.

[ He's thinking, specifically, of metal hands. They're beyond rough and strange and not suited to anything like this, but he doesn't mind it. ]

Next step is pouring it out into this and we'll put it in to bake, keep an eye on it, and make the frosting while it does that. What are your favorite colors? Or color.
forcefilled: (our love can devour)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[His question made her freeze and tilt her head to the side.]

I'm not sure I have a favorite color. I've never thought about it until now.

[She thinks to colors she enjoys and manages to find an answer.]

I do like the colors of sunset though.
androit: (✻ You'll find your way)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-23 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's such an honest reaction that he doesn't know what to do for a moment. He looks at her, watches her think about it, then nods. ]

Right. Sunset. I can do sunset. We'll make the cake look like sunset.
forcefilled: (please accept my shine)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-23 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's not expecting him to say he can do that so the fact that he is makes her look excited.]

How?

[She's eager to learn and moves to stand directly beside him so she can help.]
androit: (✻ And CK eternity)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-24 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
We'll make it into a gradient, so we'll actually need a few colors and then mix them on the cake.

[ He looks over his shoulder to see her, then shifts to give her a better view of what he's gathering and what he's doing. ]
forcefilled: (my persuasion can build a nation)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-24 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
So you're also an artist.

[Because what he's describing sounds incredibly artistic. She admires him for being able to make beautiful things.]
androit: (✻ Put your venom in me)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess so. They call it culinary arts, but it's more like it doesn't fit in any other category.

[ He shrugs. ]

Something doesn't have to look good to taste good, but it helps the appeal.
forcefilled: (our love can devour)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-24 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Food doesn't have to taste or look good to have appeal.

[She sounds confused by the fact that he might say that it does.]

The appeal is getting to eat.
androit: (✻ Take me down the line)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-24 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Junior goes very quiet at that. Not surprised or chastened or any of that, just thinking. Those words say everything they need to about how Rey grew up combined with her scavenging background and all the rest. He isn't sure what to totally say next but it feels like an admission and one that deserves a good answer. ]

Most people take that for granted now. Necessities are givens. Which is where I come in, because it is a given and it's my job to make it more. Special.
forcefilled: (Default)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-24 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think you'd do a good job making anything special.

[He has an energy and a light to him that is drawing her in. She's sure that it's the same way with everyone else he meets.</small]
androit: (✻ Through every open door)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Except speeders. Or any other kind of machine.

[ He isn't denying he might make people happy with what he does, but her own enthusiasm about it is the more endearing thing here. If he really had that kind of magic, maybe senpai would actually notice him. ]
forcefilled: (my persuasion can build a nation)

[personal profile] forcefilled 2016-02-24 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[His response makes her roll her eyes and laugh. So he takes a compliment as well as she does.]

You remind me of someone. I think having you here will help me miss him a little less.
androit: (✻ Put your venom in me)

[personal profile] androit 2016-02-24 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just about, yes. Talking to people is hard. Being complimented is even harder. ]

Oh, so I'm the replacement?
