Test Drive Meme | #43


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!

[He's ignoring the "little girl" bit, because, frankly, Peter reckons this "little girl" would kick his ass if he lowers his guard.]

Since when did deadlines warrant a visit from Mr. Bat?
secondskin: (processing)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pretty much, yes.]

All deadlines warrant a visit from Mr Bat. So does lunch, breakfast and long walks on the beach. I read a book, Mr Bat is there too. The bat goes where I go. That is all.

[And she turns her back on him, turning to face the merchant again and tap again on the counter.]

Hurry it up.

[The merchant gives a nod and resumes fumbling about behind the counter.]
consultingbishop: (014)

[personal profile] consultingbishop 2016-07-28 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Not usually how civilised people deal with deadlines. Or mealtimes.
secondskin: (at attention)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, my feelings. They are so very hurt.

[She doesn't even look back at him with that. The words come as a glorious monotone.

Just in time, the merchant drops a small bag of coins in front of her. Avell gives a nod, scoops up the bag and tucks it away.]


Bye now.

[And she's got every intention of leaving, and will do so, unless he stops her.]
wolfishflame: (Can you not // hollow_art)

it's like raaain~ on your wedding day~

[Ugh. Crowds.

Aly's not a huge fan - mostly because when she's Otherside, she's usually almost always with ten people or less. And this is why she hates them; too loud, too noisy, some asshole always trying to push through them while crackling--

--wait a minute. She draws alongside the staticky lady.]


You're gonna make everyone's hair stand on end like that, [she says casually.]
landsonhisfeet: (No I did not shit in your dufflebag)

Vic Faraday | OC

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-28 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[10 | Shakedown]

[A kedan sprints madly through the streets, knocking over anyone that gets in his way. Every now and then he looks behind him, his eyes wide and wild with fear, as he searches for his pursuer. Unfortunately he doesn't see Vic step out of the alleyway before it's too late.

Vic lays the kedan out with a single, brutal punch to his face. The kedan hits the ground hard, rolling a few feet away before coming to a stop. As Vic walks toward him he swings his wooden bat in lazy circles.]


Running off like that was just rude you know?

[He kneels down over the kedan, pressing his knee uncomfortably into his groin.]

You got some real problems here pal. The most important one being, where the fuck is my money?

[10 | No one talks about Fight Club]

[Vic stumbles onto the main street of the Fire District looking like a complete mess. Blood dribbles down his face and over his mouth. His shirt is missing revealing nasty, yellowish bruises all over his chest. Despite all that, Vic grins like a fiend.

He tosses a sack up and down in his hand. From the jingling sound it makes it's clearly full of juulan.

Licking some of the blood from his lip, Vic spits it on the ground before continuing his drunken stumble down the street.]


Gotta love big cities and stupid fucking people.

[10 | Lookout below]

[Today feels like a lazy day for Vic. He sits in the window sill of a third story building, one of his legs dangling haphazardly over the street. Vic watches the people below him bustle through the streets, all of them busy and just trying to get through their day.

They remind him of ants.

Occasionally he spots someone he just doesn't like the look of. Maybe it's the way they walk or the way they dress or maybe Vic just feels like an asshole in that particular moment. As they walk below his window, Vic reels back and spits on them.

Watching someone freak out as the globe of spit splatters against their head always gets him a good laugh. He doesn't even try to hide it either.]

landsonhisfeet: (You're all ants from up here)

Rain

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-28 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What are you people? Fucking deaf!? She said move!

[As she tries to push through the crowd Vic tries to cut her a path through him his own way. He swings his wooden bat wildly in front of them, trying to scare people out of the way. If someone ends up getting smashed with it then that's their fault. They told these people to move after all.

Looking at her behind him Vic swears under his breath. He sees the static crackling across her body and knows it's not a good sign.]


If you don't want to end up looking like fucking hamburger then move!

[Vic doesn't care about causing a panic at this point. He just wants to get Avell to safety. The man isn't about to leave her though. If she gets friend then he gets fried. That's all there is to it.]

[personal profile] flashandfan 2016-07-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
So that's where all that weirdness comes from huh?

[He's heard about the Dreaming but hasn't really bothered to understand it yet.]

Gonna have to see if he's got some revolver rounds next time.

[The Peacekeeper is running low since he got here.]
secondskin: (say that again)

Lookout Below

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[A hand smacks him fair in the back of the head, playful, but with a bit of force.]

No. Bad. Vic that is fucking disgusting.

[Even she has her limits. Though she's tolerant to a lot of things, this one toes the line.]

There are other ways to fuck with them, you know.
secondskin: (say that again)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aly gets a quick glance and then so does the sky. The rain shows no sign of easing off. It's only going to get heavier from here.]

More than that, if these fucking idiots do not get out of my way.

[The frustration is clear in her voice. Avell doesn't like the situation she's in.]
landsonhisfeet: (Completely innocent)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Owwwww.

[Vic rubs his head though the blow held little sting to it.]

Alright alright, no more spitting on the ants.

[She might be scolding him right now but he still grins at her.]
secondskin: (static)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Normally she would get in close, near cling to him to make pushing through the crowd easier. The only problem now is she's been out in the weather for long enough that she's scared to touch him.

Her hood is pulled up and Avell reaches for the back of his shirt, giving it a light tug.]


We need to move, or you need to get away.

[She's worried man. He might be okay with frying but she doesn't want to hurt him. Not now, not ever. Even now the people that bump into her as they work through the crowd hiss and yelp at the contact. She's already jolting a little more than she'd like.]
secondskin: (under observation)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's trying so hard to keep a straight, stern face. It's clear to anyone though, especially him, that she's failing horrible. The slightest of smiles pulls at the corners of her mouth.]

Good boy.

[Avell pets his head for good measure. It's because she cares, really.]
landsonhisfeet: (Not a friendly face)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-28 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vic looks at her over his shoulder with a deep frown. He's getting increasingly worried about her in this storm.]

Ain't going to happen Tempete and you know it.

[He's with her to the very end. Except he's not about to let that end come just yet. Time to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Vic searches the crowd until he finds what he's after. Some passerby with an umbrella tries to steer clear of the duo, but Vic suddenly dashes towards them striking them hard in the jaw with his fist. The kedan crumples and Vic snatches the umbrella out of the air. Before he leaves, he reaches into his pocket and tosses a handful of juulan onto their body.]


Buy yourself a new one.

[Then he's back at Avell's side, holding the umbrella over her.]

This might buy us a little more time.

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[That smile is more than enough for him. It makes everything completely worth it.

Vic lazily puts his arm around her to pull her just a little closer.]


Guess I gotta find some other way to have some fun.
secondskin: (emo emo emo)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll knock you out if I--

[Have to. Only she clearly doesn't have to, as some stranger just got laid out on the street instead. Vic punching someone isn't a surprise, nor is him taking something he wants or needs. The payment though, that's something she'll smile about when they get out of this mess.]

Good plan.

[From beneath her hood, she meets his gaze and gives a small smile. Thank you, it says. Then her eyes are back on the street, the woman nudging people with her bat in a bid to prod them out of the way.]

The first shelter we find, we go for.
secondskin: (at attention)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She leans into him a little, setting herself so she can look out the window to the street below. A moment passes, and then she speaks.]

I have an idea.

[And she makes to pull from his grasp, eyes back on the room of the house they've found their way into.]
landsonhisfeet: (Best Terminator impression)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[As their eyes meet Vic gives her a small smirk. Without even saying a word he knows what she's trying to say. It surprises him a little how he handed over the money without even thinking.

Then he's at her side, standing in the rain but making sure none of it spills onto her.]


My thoughts exactly.

[While she pushes people out of the way Vic looks for something, anything, that can shelter her from the storm. Eventually his eyes land on a warehouse at the end of the street.]

How about that?
landsonhisfeet: (Completely innocent)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Vic just nuzzles against her chest as she leans against him. It may just be a moment but Vic enjoys it.

When she pulls away he lets her slip out from his grasp.]


And you've got my attention.

[Vic hops from the window sill and follows her towards the room.]

[personal profile] cavalryiscoming 2016-07-29 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're right, mate. Can't be eatin' something that's looking atcha now can ya?

[If anything, Tracer seems excited about this. She leans down a little, one hand on the back of Connal's chair for support but her face mere inches from his. She lowers her voice a little.]

What's say we set the little blighter free? Get him back to his family.
cavalryiscoming: credit cheerslcve @ tumblr (content)

[personal profile] cavalryiscoming 2016-07-29 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[That voice. She knows that voice. The vendor is forgotten almost immediately as Tracer whirls around to face him.]

McCree!

[She's so damn happy to see him.]

Where have you been? It's been too bloody long, love!

[The vendor continues to protest, not liking that her attention is gone from him or what the cowboy said. Tracer glances back at the vendor, holds up a finger and shoots him a smile.]

Be with you in a sec, poppet.

[And she's back to McCree.]
wyldlifecontrol: (u srs bro?)

[personal profile] wyldlifecontrol 2016-07-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I really can't.

[Especially when he knows a spell that will let him talk to the little guy.

And then his new companion is very much in his personal space. Connal blinks a few times, suddenly feeling very shy.]


Uhm, no...I mean yeah. Let's get him out.
secondskin: (amusement)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets away with things that no one else ever could. Then again, he's her Vic. Avell is horribly bias towards the man.

There are plenty of books in the room, but Avell is careful to pick on without printed or written text on it. She might be a misfit and a bit of a jerk, but she respects this kind of thing, more so when it belongs to someone else. What's trash to her is someone else's treasure, after all.

She finds a book, a diary of sorts, the back few pages blank. Carefully, Avell tears one from it and on the page writes a few words. From there, the paper is folded into a paper aeroplane. Grinning at Vic, she moves to the window and throws it into the street.]


Just watch.
flashandfan: (ain't I a stinker)

[personal profile] flashandfan 2016-07-29 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Her reaction make his grin. Glad to see that she's still as excitable as ever. Just like he remembers her.]

Ya know how it is. Rightin' wrongs. Fightin' the bad guys. Those kinda things.

[McCree just ignores the vendor completely. Sorry pal but he just found one of his old buddies.]

Gotta say, this is the last place I thought I'd run into ya again. Glad to see I was wrong.
secondskin: (almost worried)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
It will do.

[The rain is getting heavier by the second and Avell's worry is only escalating.]

Vic we need to hurry.

[The umbrella is helping, but she's still crackling more than she'd like. And hurry she does. With a goal in sight, Avell focuses on getting to it, nudging people out of the way and barking at them to shove over.]
