Test Drive Meme | #39


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!

[ Where the frag is he going??

And what kind of response is that? Asking permission to answer a question with another question? Who even does that!?

.... ]


........

Go ahead.

[ Hand on sword maybe. Just... in case. ]

[ Megatron is just casually strolling to where his physical body is. it's not necessary, but he doesn't mind teasing Drift a little longer.

besides... he's not quite sure how Drift is going to react. that makes him uncomfortable. ]


If you could meet someone that wronged you in the past, would you want to?
alwaysadrift: (whut?)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Seriously can this guy walk any slower?

Which...actually might be a good thing because the questions trips him up, almost literally. ]


I--what?

[ headtilt ]

I suppose...that depends on the kind of wrong. And what we were before that. [ He thinks of Rodimus now, how could he not? ] The stronger the bond the deeper the cut it can withstand.

[ Clearly he read that somewhere; it's not as is Drift has the breadth of experience with relationships to know first hand. ]
sorrynotguilty: (51)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ small legs. anything else would probably give it all away. and then where is the fun in that. ]

That sounds like something out of those fortune cookie things.

[ funny thing is... he's having a hard time seeing those words come from Deadlock's mouth. it's difficult for Megatron to parse this person and that person as being the same individual. ]

I'm curious because there is a very good chance you could come across some... Individuals from your past. Or your future.
alwaysadrift: (I call them ben and jerry)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ HUFF.] Is that bad?

[ He has to get wisdom from somewhere. Wing and Gasket died on him, Rodimus has a deficit, Ratchet is as pragmatic as it gets and Megatron...well let's not get started with THAT guy. ]

[ And if someone is looking for hallmarks of Deadlock, the slightly wary way Drift's hand cups a swordhilt is an indication, a callback to Deadlock's old paranoia. ]

Oh? Do tell.

[ 80% of the people from his past aren't friendly. ]
sorrynotguilty: (35)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Swerve would likely poke fun at you for it...

[ but that's all Megatron is about to say. he sees the way that Drift's hand is on the hilt. he knows that stance and look all too well.

thus Megatron lifts a hand in a gesture of peace. or surrender. ]


There is hardly a need for that. Any fight left within died ages ago.
alwaysadrift: (stop calling me twiggy OMG)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
!!!

[ Mention of Swerve makes him go wide-opticed and the hand tightens on the sword's pommel. But then the not-stranger's next move makes him realize what he's doing, his tactical subroutines already firing to analyze the situation, prepping his systems should be need to react.

He cycles a ventilation, releasing his grip somewhat. ]


I hope that's true, I don't really want a fight.

[ Okay. Maybe part of him does. But that part doesn't get a vote until a) some strikes him first, b) other bad ju-ju creates justifiable cause. he's watching you, mister, for other bad ju-ju. ]
sorrynotguilty: (77)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose we'll find out shortly.

[ which means that Megatron isn't all that far away. one really can't hide a tank. but a tank can be tucked away so that it is out of the way.

even so, his avatar doesn't blink off. he just stands there, waits for Drift's reaction. ]


You are missed, from what I can gather. For the record.
alwaysadrift: (past regrets)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
So we will.

[ Bring it on. He could use a fight, truth be told. It would be something familiar at least, in this strange place. No matter how close he gets to his spiritual side, it doesn't quiet the natural battle instincts nor change the fact that he has always thrived there.

But missed? Drift can't entirely hide how nice it is to hear that. Even if he's not sure how to take it, coming from an unknown source. There are those who would not miss him, who would orchestrate things like this at his expense. ]


I'm not usually one for games, except among friends, so I hope for your sake you fall into that category.

[ Otherwise he's gonna get real tired of your rustwash. ]
sorrynotguilty: (71)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Do I fall into that category. I suppose that depends upon you, Drift.

[ one more turn. down one more street and then he stops. there Megatron sits in his alt mode. there's no way he's going to transform either. no way is he going to appear threatening. ]
alwaysadrift: (oh that looks really unhealthy)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, that's sort of a switch. Friendship being dependent on him, not someone else. He's distracted, formulating a list of people on the Lost Light who this might be, and slowly crossing them off, when the red-eyed man stops and Drift jerks to a halt. ]

What the--!?

[ The white helm does a ping-pong move from tank to man to tank and back again. ]

Uuuuuuuhhhhhh..... Is this...some weird dream manifestation thing? [ He heard that happens around here. Wow what does that say about his psyche? Also is that thing pointed at him??!]
sorrynotguilty: (84)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Dream manifestation?

[ Megatron has no idea what Drift is on about. instead his avatar walks to the tank's front. ]

I am who I am, though not as I have always been.
alwaysadrift: (you want me to put this finger WHERE?)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ No seriously he MUST be dreaming this. The only other mech on the Lost Light that would come close to this is Fort Max, and there's no way his alt looks like...that. The lines of the tank aren't entirely familiar, but there's something to the aesthetic that is unforgetable. ]

..... [ Hopefully he won't regret this. ] ....show me.
sorrynotguilty: (5)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-03 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
If you wish. Though I've been stabbed, shot at, and punched. I wouldn't recommend any of those or you may lose something.

[ like an arm or a blade. in hindsight maybe it sounds like a threat, but it isn't. it's just a fact.

yet since Drift has requested it, he will oblige. his holo blinks out of existence and slowly Megatron shift into his other form. it's a slow process, nthing like those snap transformations mid battle. instead as gears and parts move, it's with care, like he could fall apart at any moment. but when he finishes, Megatron stays on bent knee.

no fusion cannon in sight. ]
alwaysadrift: (oh that looks really unhealthy)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-03 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, that comment is far from encouraging. Drift is looking on suspiciously, frame tense and wary, though that slowly shifts to confused as the tank reconfigures itself into a very familiar figure with an unfamiliar brand. It looks painful almost, the transformation, and it adds even more confusion this scene. ]

.....Megatron?
sorrynotguilty: (49)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
You look surprised. Wherever it is you have been, then they must not have had access to any sort of news network.
alwaysadrift: (not feeling so hot)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-04 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I-- [ What, it's not like he's been hiding under a rock all this time!

Okay... technically maybe he kind of has. But it's not like it's news, he just... ]


I don't trust any of those sources as reliable.

And... I thought Ratchet was just teasing me. [ JERK. Yes he's a jerk for being right. Shut up it makes sense somehow.]
Edited 2016-05-04 04:48 (UTC)
sorrynotguilty: (Default)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-04 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
He probably was. Just a little.

[ because Ratchet is a giant troll when he wants to be. ]

Though not entirely.
alwaysadrift: (don't do drugs kids)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-04 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's just like him...

[ Ratchet IS a troll! A giant old troll. But strangely...Drift kind of loves that about him.

Just...not at times like this. ]


So...it's true then. You've changed your colors.
sorrynotguilty: (2)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's true. Though many still argue whether or not I really mean any of it.

[ pausing. ]

Which, of course, I do. I hope you are not disappointed.
alwaysadrift: (whut?)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-04 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
The same happened to me. After time it fades, and you learn to ignore the few that don't.

[ Because some people will always hold grudges. How could he blame them really? ]

Why..would I be disappointed?

[ this genuinely surprises him ]
sorrynotguilty: (9)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-04 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ how can you blame them indeed. Megatron finds that he cannot. he won't judge them based on that. except Getaway. Getaway can go rust for all Megatron cares. but even that isn't because of the ambition, but rather that Getaway used someone else to do it.

coward. ]


Many seem to be. Prowl especially.
alwaysadrift: (why so serious)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-05 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. Prowl can go jump in a slag pit.

[ Not Drift's favorite person. AT ALL. ]

I'm happy to be of the opposite opinion.

[ Yes Megatron, he's glad you're serious about this. ]
sorrynotguilty: (Default)

[personal profile] sorrynotguilty 2016-05-07 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Megatron can't help but laugh at the sentiment. ]

Your 'best friend' also sulked. For six months.
alwaysadrift: made by <user name="ladyofdragons"> (Default)

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2016-05-07 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)

[Sharing the love of Prowl right there. And the fact that it's a negative integer. But hold up, how does Megatron know who his BF is... ? ]

Really? When is he gonna get off his aft and come looking for me?

[Maybe a little salty. Also probably rhetorical, because if Megatron is here, clearly he's got no idea what Rodimus is up to now. ]
