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!

Nice to see you too, sir. She'd cleaned what she could, too, but let's face it; stench lingers. So do stains, and as much as she'd tried, there was no way all of it was going to shine without more...heavy means.

Hux's greeting gets the slightest tilt of a head, and then a single nod that most would interpret as subdued. For Phasma, however...

"My deepest apologies, General. If you could direct me towards the nearest unit designed for armor sanitation..."

For the love of Stars, either tell her where or help her get this shit off.

There was no way Hux was going to help her with her armour. He didn't clean. Please. He made a face at the lingering stench of Phasma's time in the trash compactor, but really, he had little room to talk. He was trying to remain as properly groomed as possible, but considering he was essentially camping... well.

"As far as I know, there isn't one here." He paused. "You might be better off wearing civilian attire and washing it all by hand."

Kark and sithspit.

"Then- do we have a set of quarters I could utilize?" Yes, 'we'. Phasma doesn't even consider asking if she'll be residing with Hux; it's a given, considering their positions.

[personal profile] generalginger 2016-06-03 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
There's a bit of hesitation. Not because of the concept of Phasma residing with him, because he actually prefers that. There's no point in having one of his few allies here living somewhere else. They're stronger together than apart.

At least, Hux feels they are, for obvious reasons.

"Not exactly, at the moment. We found ourselves in a predicament not too long ago..."

See: they done fucked up, Phas.

[personal profile] courageandtenacity 2016-06-03 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)







"What kind of predicament, General?"

Uh oh. She's using that tone. The one where she's utterly professional and respectful but what the fuck did you do.

Hux instinctively shrunk away slightly, only enough to be perceived by those who knew him well. "Ren got into a fight with the scavenger girl in the hotel in which we were residing. It resulted in our permanent eviction."

That...doesn't seem like too much of a problem, in all honesty. It's a problem, but, "Are there no other places to board?"

Seriously, can't they just take over a place? She can show you how to do this. It's not that hard.

"We racked up a bit of debt prior to that point while we were searched for employment. I've yet to find any housing for us." He scowled. "Ren has taken it upon himself to prove his worth by trying to be more of a survivalist than the girl."
courageandtenacity: (from dehumanization to arms production)

[personal profile] courageandtenacity 2016-06-04 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
She wishes Hux was kidding. She rather doubts he is; that sounds like Ren. Phasma lets out an audible sigh through her helmet. "Very well. If you will permit me, sir, I will make finding accommodations my priority." It doesn't sound like they're going forceful (no pun intended) here, so simply commandeering the nearest inn won't do. Still, she's relatively certain she can come to some sort of agreement - perhaps for...labor.

(Ergh.)

"That would be appreciated." He hasn't found anything for his lack of trying... he's just had to babysit Ren too, and it's far too much like being a single parent. "I've been trying to find work, so when you find something, I'll put my earnings toward our rent."

How unfortunate that he somehow didn't know that free housing was available.
courageandtenacity: (you must never forget)

When she finds out, she's going to be so unamused, Hux. So. Unamused.

But for now, she's choosing her next set of words with some thought, because this is...absolutely a new situation for her. This is not something she's had much if any training on (though the Stormtroopers do pride themselves on being able to handle anything, sadly the training regimen was lacking in 'so you're now on a giant turtle'), and so she has the unpleasant feeling of paving entirely new ground without any idea where the dangers can be...

"...is there...a protocol I should follow?"

[personal profile] generalginger 2016-06-04 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hux is going to be angry when he finds out, too, so it's okay. He's just going to blame it all on Ren.

He purses his lips in response to the question, though the action is not directed at her. None of them were prepared to be on a place like this, and it makes things a bit precarious. "There isn't one. Just... try to figure things out the best you can."
