Test Drive Meme | #41


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!

"I am in this shop. I will not seek another."

He most definitely senses that wave of panic, it's his favorite response to his power and why he chooses this very visceral form of intimidation. Not that he realizes he's doing it until he sees that hand go up to the younger mans throat.

The hand reaching for the sword is noticed but easily discounted. The sword is a primitive metal blade. It is no threat.

"Perhaps you should step aside." Vader won't stop the pressure on Yukikaze's throat but he won't increase it either.

Rude. He wouldn't panic that much if you just cut his hand off or something, which sometimes sounds like it happens very often in some worlds. But when it comes to executions, he has... issues.

He's alone in this strange world right now, isn't he? So nothing will happen to anyone if he just dies. And he's already dead, so maybe this place would just bring him back again. So, just a little risk-

No, wait, he's not alone in this world, he's almost forgotten. So it would be rude to leave so abruptly.

(Besides, he likes to live, even if he's already died.)

So Yukikaze tries to judge the distance - can he cut the man down before the man strangles him? Hard to say, with the man's unknown powers. Hm. A retreat may just be in order. Though, on the other hand, such an irritating man - he really wants to insult him now, even if that's childish.

Oh, can he do both? Well, with those unknown powers of the black-suited man, there's a slight risk of dying, but still... what did dying even mean on the turtle?

With a serious expression, he bows. "My apologies, sir. Under this suit, I haven't quite noticed that you're in such a hurry. Please, do have your milk."

It's said, superficially, in rather matter of fact tone, maybe even slightly politely if that's what somebody wants or expects to hear.

And he steps aside, now both hands on his swords in case the impatient guy - which is what he truly called him, and 'impatient' is a huge insult in Yukikaze's mind, because it means a complete lack of control or reason and might as well be an overgrown toddler pretending to be a man - tries something again.

Meanwhile, he's trying his best not to let the second wave of panic overwhelm his mind and feelings. That is, if he's still being choked even slightly.

Once he gets his way Vader is all too willing to release his hold. He's evil, not a jerk. Although the line between them starts to get a little fuzzy when he hasn't had his caf in a while. At least he isn't as impulsive and temperamental as he was when he was younger.

"A wise decision." Vader moves past Yukikaze and that much closer to his goal... and well within striking distance.

Once the conflict is over in Vader's mind he goes back to ignoring the man who's now behind him. Crossing his arms over his chest and wondering now why the person in front of him is taking so long to make up their mind about what they want.

Ugh, he needs to relax... but to do that he needs a latte. Life is hard some days.

He sighs inwardly, wondering whether to strike this overgrown child or not. What would Kr--Ayanami do?

Well, nevermind, Yukikaze was no Verloren. This guy - was he some kind of toddler under this huge suit or armour? A toddler with an asthma?

He was half tempted to ask that.

For now, he observes. If the astma toddler strangels people left and right, why, Yukikaze can than use his status as a soldier as an excuse to politely interfere (read: attack 'Vader' without warning.) For now, he observes, next to queue, completely motionless and expresionless, though he has no idea that his feelings may be visible through the Force.

Vader is usually much more reasonable, but withdrawal can do strange things to a guy. Having choked one guy already he's attempting to take more care. At least to divert his frustration onto nearby inanimate objects. Better to crush a few cups or chairs than a throat. Hopefully no one else draws his attention.

It would be awkward to have to explain to the proprietor why a customer suddenly gurgled and dropped dead. And he's pretty sure it would be far more awkward to have to explain it to certain other people.

Best to avoid any further incidents.

Once he gets his latte he'll step aside and take a good long sip. Letting the caffeine flow through him.
