Test Drive Meme | #38


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 uncontrollable urge to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Anything goes!

Because they're dating, and Ace is stupid and he'll keep Zoro from dating back in your world but also doesn't want Zoro to. And Zoro already told him he doesn't want to so it's pointless to worry about, but Ace keeps thinking about it anyway.

[ what is with all the touching it's kind of weird. you don't smell or sound familiar at all yet even though technically he knows you. ]

Throwing me off rooftops would be stupid since I jump around on them anyway. The first time we met I kicked him off the roof.

So far I only know a little bit of Armaments because it's hard to punch someone made of fire without it.
fierybluebird: (outlook not good)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-19 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[............................ EW!]

[DON'T TELL HIM ABOUT ACE'S LOVELIFE.]


[FUCK.]

[Okay he might be a shipper.]

[And he might have tried to set up Ace and Espio.]

[But that is different because it was bad enough that --]

[Wait, wasn't Zoro into the blond chef?]

[............... AS IF MARCO GIVES A FLYING FUCK.]

[Give him a moment not to plug his ears and go "lalalalalala can't hear you."]


Ah.... Well, Ace never could let anything go.

[Helpful right?]

[But seriously, Marco's just going to rub between his eyes, and maybe his temples, and pretend that he heard NONE OF THIS SHIT.]

[Why is Ace even dating--]

[Well no, it's good, right?]

[NOPE DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT.]

[Oh...]

[But if that Ace did come here then he'd be whiny about missing Luffy and Luffy's crew.]

[#AceProblems]


How long have you known him?
akito: akito / gazelle (Default)

YOU ASKED. SO THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, MARCO

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-19 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
A little less than a year.
fierybluebird: (can you believe this guy?)

REGRETS HE HAS -- Well none, but still, COOTIES. EW.

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-19 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

It gets so much worse, kiddo.

Do I even want to know how long he's been in the afterlife plac-- I mean Nautilus?
akito: akito / gazelle (Default)

marco would not survive what akito has probably overheard in the all blue lbr /shudder

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-19 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ehh... I dunno. Some of the stuff is so bad you would definitely cringe, Marco-pi. But for how dumb he can be, he is one of the very best things to ever happen to me.

[ one of the others being Hiro. (and the other two being Akira and Ikki) Hiro who he has suddenly and unexpectedly left behind. Hiro who is still struggling with the loss of one of his adoptive brothers, and who was terrified when Akito mentioned plans to leave far in the future.

Suddenly Akito is much more distracted and clearly distressed than before. ]


Oh, um... Ace-nii has been there for a couple of years, I think? I'm not sure...
fierybluebird: (look it's hard to explain)

Marco would live on the roof and cry himself to sleep at night until Ace punched him off

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-19 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[.......... Ewwwww no. DAMN IT ACE.]

[But ignoring that first part and skipping ahead: awwww.]


He's one of the best things to ever happen to me too. But don't ever tell him I said that, or I'll deny it and throw him in the sea for Namur to fish him out.

Years, eh? [Runs a hand through his hair.]

[It could be his Ace, but he has no idea how to get to him from here much less bring him here. Reverse trailing Akito? MAYBE.]
He's holding up well? Since you said you're his first mate... [Which is a hell of a headtrip for Marco, but okay.]
akito: akito (pic#6620773)

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-19 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't tell Ace something like that. That's for you to tell him someday, if you ever want to.

And he's doing... Better than he was back in your world. He's still working through some stuff, but knows he has people who love him to help if he needs it.

[ he rolls his shoulders in a small shrug. and for all his open, confident posture of earlier he's now very much the opposite; instead of owning the space he takes up, now he seems to shrink away from it.

his mind keeps going back to Hiro, and he hopes his best friend isn't missing him. ]


Un, me and my twin are his first mates. So when Oniichan has ideas he wants to try we make sure to plan for them. Usually we just go hunting or exploring, or just playing and training, since that world is too small to sail away for adventures...
fierybluebird: (I'll protect you while you cry)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-19 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
He had that in our world too. [He just didn't realize it until it was too late.]

You're a twin?

[Head tilt, and then stern-ish.] Not necessarily, yoi. I've seen Ace stay around what's familiar rather than go beyond what he could. The world could be a lot bigger than you even know. That's how he was at the Garden. He's a roamer at heart, but he just wants everyone he likes with him. If he's really happy as you say, then he wouldn't go far without a good push.

Especially after... [Trails off and pauses.] Well, the last time he wandered alone, it didn't end well.
akito: both (pic#2279067)

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-19 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't see Ace being somewhere and not having it. He's just that kind of person - like a magnet?

Yeah. We're two pieces of the same soul.

[ he crinkles his nose. ] Un, he's tentative sometimes... In Nautilus the world really was small though. But it connected to other worlds, which would have made up for it except we couldn't explore worlds we weren't originally from.

We were gonna get Sanji to take him to visit my world with me for a vacation...

[ that is obviously a no-go now. :( ]
fierybluebird: (purple confident airs)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I think it's that he's like my Pops. It's what he wants so it comes out in his actions.

Hm. [Ruffles.] Don't worry so much kiddo. Sanji might be a better chef, [By far since Marco's not a chef] But you'll never find a better navigator when it comes to sailing anywhere in time and space.

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Un, and Ace-nii is usually pretty obvious in his actions even when he thinks he isn't.


[ a little bit of a pout. totally not childish. really. ]

I know you're really strong and are a Zoan-type, but I haven't heard anything about you being a navigator before. Sanji-nii leveled-up, you could say, in Nautilus and is good at going to other worlds so I trust him for sure.
fierybluebird: (put-out)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because Ace is stupid and doesn't remember my specialty. [Which is actually more exploring, cartography, and hiding. But he's good with star charts too.]

[Also he's pretty pouty himself. Dang it Ace.]

[ waitasecond...........

Marco is a big fluffy fiery blue Phoenix bird.

And Akito hasn't seen it yet.

Blasphemy. ]

3/3

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Marco-pi! Turn into your cute phoenix form, please! I want to see it!

I can show you a picture of Oniichan as a trade!

[ because as if Akito doesn't have his Blackberry phone-turned-Nautilus comm device with him and have it filled with selfies and pictures of him and all his friends and loved ones.

lbr he probably has taken all kinds of stupid selfie pics with ace ]
fierybluebird: (Keep talking)

1/2

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[He doesn't even think twice before saying no. Stupid Ace. He's not a parlor trick, jeez!]
fierybluebird: (sparkles)

2/2

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[.... ohhh...]

[Well....]

[Okay, that is REALLY tempting.]

[Sighs and facepalms.]


Okay. But don't tell Thatch and Namur or the others. And don't call me cute to them. Well, you can to Thatch, because Thatch is special anyway.

[Shifts over!]

[Sparkles!]

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...Is it okay if I touch you?

[ a beat. ]

And you definitely don't look like any type of poultry.

[ JUST, Y'KNOW. TO MAKE SURE MARCO IS AWARE THAT AKITO RESPECTS THE BIRD. since beaks can really hurt. ]
fierybluebird: (not always such a bad guy)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods at the first part, and gently nudges Akito's hand with his head.]

[See, his flames don't burn, only heal, so they feel warm and fluffy and emotionally healing.]

[You also might get sparkles on your hand.]

[But at the second part, his eyes go flat, then roll.]

[Stupid Ace.]
akito: akito / gazelle (pic#1138147)

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Akito moves his hand through the flames, expression bright and curious and entirely unafraid; lets his fingers turn to fire to see how the different flames mingle.

Of course that doesn't last for long - the go ahead to touch is effectively forfeiting having any sort of personal space to Akito. He all but throws himself at the big, warm bird-Marco with a muted noise of delight.

He thinks that even if Ace tried to explain Marco's Zoan form properly he still never would have done it justice. ]


You have the best Zoan fruit!
fierybluebird: (I whip my tail back and forth)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well the fire kind of tickles, even as his body absorbs it, but awww cuddles. He will never admit (except that Thatch knows) that he loves cuddles.]

[And he swishes his tail back and forth.]


The best devil fruit period, yoi. [Puts a wing over Akito so he can hide like a duckling.]
akito: akito / gazelle (Default)

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Akito is familiar with being hidden in wings, and he's reminded suddenly and painfully of Leanne (hopes she and Ace are taking care of each other) even as he burrows in to make himself comfortable. ]

The best known devil fruit then! But definitely the best Zoan-type.
fierybluebird: (cute phoenix)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Preens Akito gently, smoothing over his hair with his beak.]

[Because he can.]


Ace's is pretty well-known. [Swish swish tail.]
akito: akito (pic#1138218)

[personal profile] akito 2016-03-20 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this is very cozy :3 and this isn't home, or Leanne, or Ace, but this is Ace's nakama-brother - the one he heard stories about. and who he apparently looks like - albeit tinier - when he's stuck as a bird ]

Because it's a good Logia type, or because it's Ace's?
fierybluebird: (deadpan birdie stare)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2016-03-20 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Both.

[True story.]

[Ace was a legend.]
