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!

Serah Farron | Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Serah may normally be a very good-natured person, but back home, there was a reason why she and her sister were two people you didn't want to piss off. Serah is trying her best to be polite as possible, but the vendor isn't budging at all, and Serah knows there's gotta be a middle ground.

She's trying to be reasonable, really. Her words seem tense, to say the least, even though they come out politely.]


Look. I really need that piece of fruit, but I also have some other items I still need to get. If you could just go down a little bit....

[The vendor shakes his head, and Serah's face grows darker, angrier, voice steely.]

Just compromise and I'll be on my way.

[Someone please stop this before something gets out of hand.]

5

It's a promise from a friend, so if you could please....

[Her smile is gracious but awkward as a native touches her necklace, trying to ask for a price while it's still around her neck. Of course, Serah's not going to sell it, and she keeps trying to get away, but if she moves, the necklace might be torn off of her neck, and it's the last thing she wants. A gloved hand goes to the native's wrist, gently tugging at it. It doesn't seem to be working.]

I really need to look for him, please let me go.

[OOC: If you want to wildcard it, go ahead! I'm not too great at writing scenarios, I know.]

[Sometimes Kid can't help but get involved in things he shouldn't. Actually it's more like all the time. Without a word he steps beside the stranger and sets some juulan in front of the the vendor.]

Give her the fruit please.

[Talking isn't what he's good at but he likes solving problems without a fight starting. If that means he's out some money that's okay.]
cantfixtime: (something natural right?)

[personal profile] cantfixtime 2016-03-22 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[The vendor grumbles, taking the money and turning to grab the fruit, and Serah looks at the newcomer incredulously. She turns to him, face returning to one less resembling an incoming storm in human form.]

Thank you, but you know they'll do that to whoever comes by next. We shouldn't just give in to unfair prices.
buildsthatwall: (Steel faced determination)

[Kid never expects to get a thank you, but he never expects to get a lecture either.]

Fighting with a bully won't make them change, but helping someone who needs it make might their day better.

[He says this right in front of the vendor, not caring that they hear.]

I can always earn more money anyway.
cantfixtime: (make it stay like this forever)

[personal profile] cantfixtime 2016-03-27 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
I just hope that other people don't pay such high prices when there's no need. Not just me.

[But she can see his point. She sighs and offers a hand.]

I really am thankful. My name is Serah.

[ Someone else has noticed the kedan's unwelcome insistence, and Elizabeth feels obligated to step up and help a fellow lady! ]

She's already told you no, please respect that. I'm sure you can get one like it from one of your fellow merchants.
cantfixtime: (something natural right?)

[personal profile] cantfixtime 2016-03-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Serah's thankful for the assistance, and gives Elixabeth a warm, if slightly sheepish smile, before turning back to the merchant.]

Yes, exactly. [She's actually not completely sure, but something is better than nothing, right?]

I could help you find it, if you want.
isochrone: (intimations of something still construct)

[personal profile] isochrone 2016-03-27 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The kedan merchant hesitates, but is apparently not willing to push the issue any further, and mutters something about being able to find it themselves before withdrawing. Once they've gone, Elizabeth fixes Serah with a knowing smile. ]

What a coincidence! As soon as two people stood up to them, they left!
cantfixtime: (make my dreams come true)

[personal profile] cantfixtime 2016-03-28 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Serah watches as the merchant leaves, surprised they left so easily once Elizabeth showed up. However, she won't complain. It's one less thing to worry about in this strange place.

Serah returns the smile kindly, turning to Elizabeth fully.]


Thank you for your help. I'm not sure they would have left if I was alone.
