Test Drive Meme | #42


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??

    (Please note: This scenario isn't applicable to becoming game canon if you choose to app your character, as an alien pterosaur attack is a major event.)

  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!

Ah. Here, then.

[hands him a cloth bag full of groceries] Follow me and look like you know where you're going. The kedan have a good deal of family ties, and seeing a young man helping an older man with his purchases will discourage them from trying to buy your jacket until we get out of the market.

"Mmm?" She spared a glance at the flying girl and promptly put her attention back on the pterosaur, hands spreading out to hold it down as she dragged the blade across its throat, spraying blood across the pavement.

"Yeah, what of it?"
bymyownway: (go on)

[personal profile] bymyownway 2016-06-22 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

[Sheathing her sword, Ciri crouches down to put herself on level with the kedan.]

How much did you take?

[Blocked in on all sides, the Kedan holds out a small package. It's a pastry of some form inside and cinnamon wafts from the packet. If Ciri is honest, it really does smell good.]

And... That appears to be a dessert. If you're stealing to fend of starvation, there are better things to take. If you're stealing for greed, well, then we'll have a bit more to talk about.
wyldlifecontrol: (just wanna talk)

[Those definitely look tasty, but Connal agrees it doesn't make much sense to be stealing snacks instead of real food.]

She's right you know. There's better for out there and better ways to get it.

[Connal's face has softened considerably now. Even if his actions weren't the smartest, Connal can't blame him.]

Either way I think we should all go see the merchant.
no_light: (pretty hair)

he is! he should really consider himself privileged to be so showered with love

[personal profile] no_light 2016-06-22 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, well, well...

He smiles slightly, not a particularly pleasant smile. His hand starts inching towards his lightsaber. ]


And what are you going to do if I keep calling her that, traitor? Being her protector didn't work out so well for you before, did it?

Elsa is walking the market in a daze. There are so many strange people in this place. For as strange as she considers herself in Arendelle with her magic, everyone is human. Except for the trolls but this is definitely not a troll.

She doesn't even realize she is staring.

[personal profile] snowphemisms 2016-06-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Elsa had also come to the library looking for answers. But unable to find any, she had started to get distressed. Leaving frosty trails on some of the books.

Recognizing that her emotions were controlling her ice powers, she went outside. A nice walk in the garden would help her calm down. Seeing a man who she had also seen in the library, she approached him.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

so late to this party but omg!!!!

[ Rey spies the gaggle of kedan harassing what looks to be a foreigner, someone new that's arrived on the turtle to join them — but when she looks closer, it's not just any foreigner.

She breaks into a sprint toward him, pumping her arms and running as fast as she can toward him. ]
FINN!
spiderforhire: (told you so)

[personal profile] spiderforhire 2016-06-23 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The Stalk shoots Elsa a glare. "Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"...if you have a camera, that is. If you don't I suppose you'd have to commission a portrait. What's the going rate for portrait commissions here?"

The Kedan that The Stalk had been talking to turned his head for a moment to acknowledge Elsa when The Stalk addressed her - just long enough for The Stalk to snatch candlestick off the table and slide it under her dress.

"I've been painted once before, actually. A nude, naturally. I kept it after I assassinated the rich asshole who paid for it."
spiderforhire: (ugh)

"How much are you actually expecting it to understand you?" The Stalk said, sitting at a table, calmly sipping tea as other Kedan evacuated at the sight of the swooping terradon.

"Fire a warning shot if you're serious about trying to scare it off."
aprettyflyboy: (It suits you)

[personal profile] aprettyflyboy 2016-06-25 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't imagine the jacket would be this popular but you do look really good in it.

[Poe couldn't help the teasing. He was not expecting to see Finn from all people here and it was taking all of his will power not to pull the other man into his arms.

He had come almost rushing to his side when he spotted him from a distance and only stopped when he noticed the Kedan bothering him.]

All told, this place is strange, but Hundred Eyes is adapting faster than one would expect a blind man would. In fact, it would be quite difficult to tell he was blind if not for the fact that his glance doesn't seem to move, and what looks like acid burns around his eyes.

Some kedan children have thus pegged him for an easy mark. He lets them get close enough, before saying, "Ah, ah. I wouldn't do that if I were you."
wolfishflame: (Nonplussed // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2016-06-26 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dunno," Aly said, turning towards the woman. "You got any idea what this place is? 'Cause I don't find it familiar as I'd like."
wolfishflame: (Wild Flame // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2016-06-26 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aly glanced over at the spider-lady at the table and didn't bat an eye. She's seen weirder.

"Y'know, sometimes they do," she said, and launched a warning shot at the pteranodactylodacyl. It screeched and flapped back up to join its circling fellows.

Satisfied, Aly turned back. "Yo. You got any more of that tea?"

Iroh may have picked up on the situation: a blind man who moves with confidence, some children who could be between curious, pranksters and pick-pockets. He's met Toph Beifong and enough others who lacked her particular gifts but had been attentive enough with more traditional senses to not assume blind was helpless.

"Some of the children here can be a bit bold with newcomers," he said conversationally, intending to speak to the newcomer, but clearly also directing it to the children: I see you too. Iroh's voice sound jovial enough, like the older shopkeeper that he was. Depending on how well Hundred Eyes could pick up on movement from footsteps, however, Iroh moved like a martial artist.
spiderforhire: (peering)

[personal profile] spiderforhire 2016-06-26 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
She gestured at the pot on the table. "Help yourself."

Meanwhile, people shooting fireballs wasn't all too uncommon for The Stalk. Although most of those people had horns.

The Stalk peered back up on the dinosaurs. "Suddenly not worried about them anymore?"

Chappie | CHAPPiE | alex please stop shaking your muselist over the tdm

[personal profile] blacksheeps 2016-06-28 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
There is a very confused Scout droid looking around Keeliai with a look of wonderment showing up on its robotic face, somehow. Most people might avoid the Snakes; Chappie doesn't mind getting close to them, because they seem like home, but they don't particularly seem like they want to be around him.

He's found his way to a fountain in the Fire Sector, and he's watching the flames spout up, his internal readout showing that they're quite cool.

"Whoa."
eltiochido: (u da man)

[personal profile] eltiochido 2016-06-28 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Friggin weird, right, Chappie?"

Amerika is in the Fire District because, well, he's a snake. Or at least as close as you can get to being a snake not being in the family. Seeing the robot was a bit of a surprise, but whatever, he'd seen weirder shit. Like that fire stuff, still trippy.

[personal profile] social_insect 2016-06-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Next time, can you try not to bring it down over the marketplace?" Wasp was not going to look; she was still getting used to this alien thing, and green and blue humanoids, raccoons, and walking trees was a bit easier than giant spiders. Still, giant spider ladies had to eat as well, and no one liked the new pterosaurs, since they also wanted to eat.

"Shooting the ones outside the city kind of defeats the point, doesn't it?" she said. Plus it was less convenient.

The Stalk looked around. "Do they have street names here? I'd like to avoid the 'where are you' 'in the market' 'which market' conversation."
social_insect: (Default)

Re: cw: blood

[personal profile] social_insect 2016-07-01 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess if the point is to keep them from bothering people, yeah. And there are signs, but they're all in kedan. kedanese? I can't read them."
spiderforhire: (yeah right)

[personal profile] spiderforhire 2016-07-02 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that makes sense. Pain in the ass to learn another language." She knew a few, out of necessity.

"It's damn inconvenient the magical bullshit that lets us talk doesn't apply to street signs."

She swipes off her knife and sheathes it back under her dress. "So what's your deal? You come from some tiny planet or maybe it's actually huge and so the gravity is ridiculous."
snowphemisms: (⑦)

[personal profile] snowphemisms 2016-07-04 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Elsa looks taken aback at the retort. "We have portraits," she says. Mostly because she doesn't know how else to answer. "Wait, you assassinated?"

She's so agog that she doesn't even register the theft.
impendings: (young hearts long sorely tried)

[personal profile] impendings 2016-07-04 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Meidhbhín shook her head. "I only know that it isn't Knimre," she replied. "It has a feeling like none I've ever known before, an' while they're speaking tongues I understand, none of them have th' right sounds to them."

Her gaze moved down to the mace on Aly's belt, a faint pinch developing between her brows. "You look like you're ready t'ride into battle, lass."
impendings: (against the wintry sky)

[personal profile] impendings 2016-07-04 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's an accent like hers, but not, and yet Meidhbhín can't help but light up at the sound of it. ]

You wouldn't be from Druah Brana, by chance?
