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 shy and she's still fixated on forming a plan to save the fishy thing.]

Where do you think he's from then? Sea side or one of the streams?

[Oh shit. It's a fish. Fish need water.]

Oh, no. Hang on love...

[She stands tall and in a blink she's gone, appearing again in the kitchen behind the counter, carefully out of view of those working there. She gives Connal a thumbs up, then poof, she's gone again, appearing across the kitchen where she picks up a large bucket. Another poof, she's at the sink with said bucket, filling it with water.

Poof. She's back at Connal's side, water bucket on the floor beside him.]


There we go. Gotta say, I hope it's the right water for him.

Tell me about it.

[That smile of hers isn't going anywhere. It's a huge relief to see someone she knows. McCree and her might not of had much to do with each other, but they're team all the same and she knows he's one of the good ones. And a total badass.

Blame the excitement, but Tracer reaches out to pull him into a half hug, friendly but still wary of boundaries. The last thing she wants is to make him uncomfortable. They're soldiers, after all.]


I'm so darn happy to see you. I was starting to think I was the only one of us on this turtle. You've heard that right? We're on a giant turtle, love!

[He knows he can get away with things with her. That's exactly why he does it.

Avell definitely treats this place with more respect than him. The only reason why he never trashes anything is because he respects her. If she wants to leave it all in one piece then they leave it one piece.

His arms fold over his chest while he watches her, unable to shake the smirk from his lips.]


I'm watching. I'm waiting.

[And trying to see if he can piece together what she's doing before she does it.]
landsonhisfeet: (Not a friendly face)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
We'll get there Tempete, even if I gotta pick you up and run you over there.

[It might hurt but he doesn't give a shit about that in the slightest. As long as she keeps from going nuclear he's more than alright with some static shock.

Vic does his best to help her through the crowd while he makes sure to keep the umbrella over her, going so far as to knock a couple people over to get them out of the way.

Hopefully they don't have to worry about anyone inside already. Otherwise whoever is in there is about to get evicted.]


Almost there, just keep it together a little longer.

[The paper plane zips down into the street below, getting a bit of an unintentional spin on it before it hits and unsuspecting kedan on the back of the head. The kedan pauses, rubbing their head confused and looks for whatever it was that hit him.

A moment later, the plane is in his hand and again, he looks left and right, finding no one as Vic and Avell are up above.]


Open me.

[Avell says quietly to Vic, unable to keep herself from smiling. It's an old game from when she was a kid. The kedan glances around again, uncertain, and unfolds the plane. There's more writing within. Avell fills in the blanks for Vic, leaning close to whisper in his ear.]

I know what you did.

[She doesn't. Not really. But the kedan suddenly feels extremely worried for something, somewhere, that he might of done to someone. And someone KNOWS.]

Oh dear. He is guilty.
secondskin: (at attention)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Having him there does a lot to keep her from panic. At the same time though, it makes her worry more that she'll do him harm in some way. She knows he won't care if she does, but Avell would like to avoid hurting the one person she gives a damn about.

It's a relief when the crowd catches on and starts to clear a little, though that is in part because they're nearing both the edge of the busy street and their destination.

She doesn't wait to see if anyone is already in there. The moment she's in range, Avell darts under cover and peels the wet hoodie from herself.]


That was too fucking close.

[There's a few others in there, all seeking to shelter from the rain.]

All of you, keep your distance.

[She's dangerous to be near at the moment.]

[Then it means she's not paying too much attention to him. That's good.]

Not sure. Never seen a fish like this before. Maybe I...

[Then suddenly she's gone in a blink and Connal is left in shock. He's never seen anyone teleport that fast...or at all for that moment. She didn't even speak any words. One moment she was there then suddenly gone the next.

Watching her blink around the cafe is just as much of a shock as seeing her go. He tries his best not to stare at her in open amazement.]


Uh...

[Right, their fishy friend.]

Right. I hope he's going to be okay.

[Checking around the restaurant, Connal subtly tips the creature from the plate into the bucket.]
flashandfan: (Default)

[personal profile] flashandfan 2016-07-29 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[The hug isn't what he's expecting but he doesn't push her away either. Soldiers they may be but they're not exactly what you call conventional. With a chuckle he returns the hug with one of his own.

Feels damn good to see one of the team after so long.]


Yeah might of heard a thing or two about that. Just hope the big fella doesn't decide to take a dive with just still on it.
landsonhisfeet: (No I did not shit in your dufflebag)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Vic watches the scene play out below them with open interest. With every bit of her commentary his grin gets a little wider. By the end Vic has to fight to keep himself from bursting into laughter.

His hand grips her shoulder and his face turns red as he tries to keep the laughter inside. Eventually it becomes too much and loses it next to her.]


God damn Avell...

[Vic pulls her to his side.]

You are so fucking evil and I love it.

[personal profile] cavalryiscoming 2016-07-29 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The look on his face earns him a wink in return.]

I'll explain in a minute, love. C'mon we need to get a move on before somebody sees.

[She's having way too much fun with this. It's kind of nice to be out and about, doing something out of the ordinary that doesn't involve bullets and warfare. Not that she didn't love her time in Overwatch, but it's still a nice change.]

The name's Tracer by the way. Pleasure to meet ya.
landsonhisfeet: (I was napping you know)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Once she's inside Vic slams the shut behind them. A moment later his own hoodie comes off. The shirt beneath still remains dry, if a slightly damp, and it comes off too as he begins using it as a towel to help her dry faster. The fact they aren't alone never crosses his mind.]

You heard her! Stay the fuck back!

[Vic never even looks at them as he tries his best to dry her off. Occasionally a spark jumps from her to him like a super charged shock of static. He winces but never makes a noise.]

This is the best I can do for now.
cavalryiscoming: credit cheerslcve @ tumblr (oh no)

[personal profile] cavalryiscoming 2016-07-29 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry dear, got a little excited is all.

[She hasn't really heard a thing from him since the team disbanded after all.]

Missed ya.

[The smile doesn't leave her face, but it does take a slightly sadder turn. After everything they did for the world, things still didn't turn out well. It's not a good feeling to know you did your best and it was still not enough.

Tracer takes a deep breath and forces her smile to a happier one. They're here right now. Things are alright. She's all but forgotten the vendor, who stands behind his counter staring at them with his arms folded.]


Say, how about something to eat? My shout. Then we can talk more about this turtle business.
secondskin: (amusement)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The moment Vic loses it, Avell does too. She lets him pull her to him, leaning hard against him while she tries not to laugh too loud.]

You would think I learned to be like that from you, but I started doing that when I was a teenager.

[Being a drifter in a world where your kind were persecuted meant being alone a lot. Avell had had to find her own ways to entertain herself.]

A little asshole. Now I am apparently a big asshole.
wyldlifecontrol: (oooh shiny)

[personal profile] wyldlifecontrol 2016-07-29 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[That wink ears a blush.]

Right. Come on let's go.

[Before grabbing his bucket Connal puts some juulan on the table. He might be overpaying, but he is stealing a fish from them. That probably evens it out.]

Um, hello. You can call me Connal.

[He gives her a sheepish grin before waving her at the exit.]

Come on let's go.
secondskin: (a tender moment)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She's trying so hard to reign it in, to keep control of the electricity inside her and keep it from harming him or anyone else. Avell knows Vic better than anyone, and is full aware that he's taking damage for helping her.

On the third zap she puts a hand on his and shoots him a reassuring look.]


I can take it from here, I think.

[His shirt is nearly wet through from drying her off, but she's a lot better off than she was. Even if she's still damn, it's not fully wet like she was only moments ago.]

Thank you.

[Those last two words are mouthed to Vic, for him and him alone.]
flashandfan: (shot of whiskey)

[personal profile] flashandfan 2016-07-29 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Missed ya too Trace.

[McCree sees her smile falter just the slightest. The look in her eyes tell him everything he needs to know. He's seen that same look before in the mirror.

He was a member of Blackwatch. That was the whole reason things started crashing down around them. It might be dumb, but he can't help but feel a little responsible for what happened to his team. His friends.

Without really saying anything, McCree lays a hand on her shoulders and squeezes. He gets it.]


Bite to eat sounds like a great idea.

landsonhisfeet: (pic#5303681)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[While Vic knows what's happened to her, what she's been through, he still smiles.]

So fucking proud of you.

[Both of them are outsiders that never belonged in society. They belong together though. That's enough for Vic.]

How many people you think we can freak the fuck out before getting caught?
landsonhisfeet: (Best Terminator impression)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Vic nods and backs off, not because he wants to but because she asked. He still worries for her. Avell is his girl after all. He wants to take care of her.

Instead of saying anything back to her, Vic mouths a few words that look suspiciously like 'elephant shoe' before he turns towards the on lookers.]


The fuck are all of you looking at? Never seen a guy shirtless before?

[And just like that the tenderness shown only to her vanishes and the asshole returns.]
secondskin: (almost worried)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Adrenaline courses through her like the current beneath her skin, but with those words from him she calms a little more, ignoring the rain and the situation in favour of focusing on him and him alone. Those words, strange as they may be to anyone but them, mean the world to her. He gets the tiniest of smiles before he's talking to the others in the room.]

Do yourselves a favour and do not look. He is perhaps more dangerous than me.

[If only because right here and now he's the aggressive one of the two.]

When you can, leave. For your own good.
secondskin: (under observation)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Let us see. What would you write? The same again or something new?

[She's half draped across him as she leans to look out the window. The kedan on the street continues to look around, baffled by the note and still trying to work out where it came from. Eventually he gives up, eager to get out of there and away from everything. Avell can't help but chuckle.]
landsonhisfeet: (Not a friendly face)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You heard the lady!

[He whirls his bat once, twice.]

Get gone if you know what's good for you.

[For all he knows his Avell might still be in danger. He wants to check on her, to dote until he knows that she'll be fine. Times like this are the only times he truly worries about her.

Without thinking he puts himself between her and the rest of the crowd.]
landsonhisfeet: (Completely innocent)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Let me think.

[While he thinks about his note Vic idly traces his hand up and down her side. He likes having his hands on her. They seek her out almost with a mind of their own to touch her.]

How about something like "I'm watching you" and "you can't hide from me".

[He grins over at her to see what she thinks.]

secondskin: (i see)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Leaving Vic to the crowd, Avell goes about drying herself off as best she can. There's little more than she can do with what they've got. Her things are laid out to dry and she sits, forcing herself to stay calm.

A few of the people leave, trusting the weather over the strange man with the bat and the electric woman. Others seem to linger, genuinely worried and curious for what's going on. Eventually, they too depart.]


I'm okay, Vic.

[Still not safe to touch, but she'll be alright.]
secondskin: (amusement)

[personal profile] secondskin 2016-07-29 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Shall we throw two?

[She chuckles and grins, staying where she is a moment more before pulling away to tear out more blank pages and write the notes.]

Let us see who can get the best freak out.
landsonhisfeet: (Best Terminator impression)

[personal profile] landsonhisfeet 2016-07-29 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[While she dries herself Vic continues to stare people down until each of them leave. Their concern means nothing to him. They don't know her and they don't care, not like he does. These people will just get in the way.

Once all of them leave Vic turns his attention back Avell. He crouches near her, and as much as he wants to touch her, he keeps his hands to himself.]


You need something warm Tempete. I should head back out there. Find you some dry clothes.

[He worries.]
