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!

[The merchant continues to stare at Kid's Cael Hammer with folded arms and obvious want. Then Kid's face just hardens. It's a look of defiance. One that says he's ready for trouble if someone starts it.

The combination of Adrien's silver spoon and Kid's hard glare seem to work though as the merchant finally relents, taking all of Kid's money for the single hammer. Without another word to the merchant Kid takes it and leaves.]


Jerk.

[He pauses to address Adrien.]

Thanks for your help. I'm not good at this kind of thing.
purrns: (But I'm only human)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-20 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adrien watches the merchant for a moment, putting that face to memory. Just in case he causes trouble somewhere else. Then, he turns and follows Kid. ]

Don't mention it. The merchants here can be a little stubborn. They want our stuff because it's rare and unusual, I guess.

Are you going to be okay for money? I mean, to get yourself food and rent?
buildsthatwall: (Lost in thought)

[personal profile] buildsthatwall 2016-03-20 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't need my things. They'll only end up hurting themselves.

[He's got more than a few of his weapons from home with him, but even he knows taking them into the city is a bad idea.

Kid looks in his wallet. Nothing but lint and moths in there now. He sighs, feeling a little stupid for buying that hammer. The merchant probably won't give him a refund.]


Maybe.

[It's a lie. A bad one too. Anyone could see it on his face.]

I'll figure something out.
purrns: (But 'til I try I'll never know)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
It'll take a few tries for them to figure it out, I'm afraid.

[His eyebrows furrow, concerned, before offering a small smile. ]

Well, if you need anything, I can help you out. I know it can be hard here, when you're starting out.
buildsthatwall: (Something in the distance)

[personal profile] buildsthatwall 2016-03-21 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Someone might get hurt then.

[The words aren't a threat. Kid sounds more sad than anything else.

While Kid gives Adrien a faint smile in return, he shakes his head.]


Things have been harder. You shouldn't go out of you're way. I don't want to cause people problems.
purrns: (If that's what you want)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess you have a point.

[He prefers non-violent means, but if you have to protect yourself, well... ]

It's not causing me any problems. I have work, and a place to stay. Besides, I want to help.
buildsthatwall: (Ponder ponder ponder)

[personal profile] buildsthatwall 2016-03-21 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Wish I didn't.

[Kid hates resorting to fighting. Unfortunately, outside being a Mason, it's the only thing he's good at.]

You don't even know who I am.

[Which never stops him from stepping in but still.]
Edited 2016-03-21 03:17 (UTC)
purrns: (At least I'm flying free)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-22 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Adrien gives a small shrug of his shoulders. ]

You're trapped here just like I am. We should look out for one another.
buildsthatwall: (Ponder ponder ponder)

[personal profile] buildsthatwall 2016-03-22 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Trapped?

[Kid looks confused, tilting his head slightly.]

I don't feel like I'm trapped.
purrns: (I can bite my tongue)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we can't go home. We;re kind of stuck wherever the turtle takes us.
buildsthatwall: (Looking wistful)

[personal profile] buildsthatwall 2016-03-23 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
My home's been torn to pieces.

[Literally. This place is almost a paradise compared to it.

A faint, sad look touches Kid's eyes.]


If I can get my friends here I don't think I'd leave.
purrns: (And their twisted fantasy)

[personal profile] purrns 2016-03-23 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I'm sorry. That's... that's really awful.

[And he does mean that, true empathy in his expression. ]

You never know, that might happen. The Dreaming is bringing in people all the time.
