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!

"Can't say this is the worst vacation I've ever been on. Better than the last time I was in Hong Kong, anyway." And that had been a laugh and a half, as well as the last place he'd been that looked anything like this.

"Poking through the classifieds." Lurking on the network. "Avoiding the sea prunes. The usual for the new arrivals, I suppose."

Conan hadn't figured out yet that being an elementary school detective was something that needed to be defined and explained.

"I'm an amateur detective," he says with some annoyance. "At home there are a lot of teenage detectives who assist the police with difficult cases. Private individuals also ask them to look into things. I just got started on it younger than most. I mostly assist other detectives."

By solving the cases for them and then letting them think it was their own idea all along.

"Hong Kong isn't so bad, unless it was for business over pleasure." Gentle poking into this guy, because if he had something Peter could use to get home...

"You in any rush to leave, or content to just stay a while?"

And to also see if he believed the party line of "You can't just leave."

"Business. Decidedly not pleasure." Because ha-ha, where Jason Bourne - the Frankenstein's monster he'd helped create - was concerned, nobody was going to have a good time.

"I'll stay until I'm bored, I suppose - they say this is impossible to escape, but I've never met a situation too impossible to face."

Yeah. Still weird.

Addition to Rolodex: what the hell is going on in Japan.

"So what, they don't have child labor laws where you come from?" His tone's obviously teasing. "C'mon, kid, walk with me."

A smile, there. He likes your thinking.

"Well, I hope you're not easy to bore, because Keelial's pretty interesting, even day-to-day."

A pause.

"That being said, I'm researching ways to get home. Sadly, I don't have the luxury of staying here too long." Bad things tend to happen when Peter Bishop is forcefully inserted into a plane of existence. "Even if time's stopped in our home universes."

Conklin snorts. "I don't buy that line, either. I'm ninety percent convinced I've finally snapped and am entertaining myself in a rubber room right now." Not at all unlikely. And probably better. "I've got places to go and people to see back home, too, if that is the improbable truth. Occam's Razor's less reliable than Gillette, I've found."

He smiles. "And no. I'm not easy to bore. But I need to get back to where I need to be rather than sit around playing political checkers with the locals, so I have my priorities in order."

"I don't think child labor laws cover volunteers."

Conan didn't really have a reason to stick around in the alley, so he nods and steps closer.

"You'd be surprised. There might be a universe where you're doing just that. Besides, if this is some shared delusion, I've got experience in that, too."

There's plenty of Walter's research he can recall to help with mind and dreamscapes, as well as alternate universes. If there's a way, Peter will find it, and he's convinced there is a way.

"I'll let you know what I find, then. There's a few avenues of possibility I'm working on."

But first, we need to talk about parallel universes.

Conklin stares at him for a second. "Yeah, I believe that even less than the rest. The parallel universe thing. I'll buy shared delusions. Not the first time I've heard of it."

An amused snort, there.

"Trust me, buddy. By the end of this, you'll end up believing in them, or further convinced you're whacko. The question is, do you think your imagination is good enough to think up the sheer amount of insane you'll run into here?"

"Far be it from me to judge your extracurriculars."

They move out of the alley. "Been here long?"

"I've been here about six weeks."

B!

Kurt sat at a table nearby, a hat customarily pulled low over his face. Sure. the kedan didn't look twice at his blue skin or his pointed tail, but old habits were always the last to die. He can't help but giggle a little bit at the trouble the old man was having with his meal, and after scooping up his own plate of semi-unidentifiable "food", he walks over to Wolverine's table to join him.

"In some cultures, turning one's nose up at their food is a grave offense. Though I don't know what it say about you when your food turns it's nose up at you, ein freund."

Kurt smiles a toothy smile, and removes his hat so as to be more easily identified.

"Me being crazy is far more likely. Trust me. I've got a head full of loose marbles." He smiles. "My imagination's been tested on the weird and wacky, and I keep getting surprised. So I'm just going to enjoy the ride."

"Longer than me. Just a few days, myself." He's limping, but not much to be done about that. Not exactly a sophisticated prosthesis, this.

"Believe me, it's gonna be one hell of a ride."

Especially if you're not used to Fringe-like events.

"You might find your mind changed."

Jane smiled, nodding her agreement to the offer, and pulled out the chair across from him. "Seems like a busy place," she said, nodding at the bustling cafe. "Reckon they serve a better brew than trail coffee, that's for sure. Ever had it?"

Heather's sitting at a table, outside one of the classier pubs in the Fire district. She knows a newbie when she sees one. Well, no reason to be unprofessional, now is there?

"Hello, darling, lost?" She asks, sipping her wine.

She's a young looking thing, at least. And smells somewhat like some sort of hospital soap, if he gets close enough. But there's something ancient about her eyes....

"Alright, that's enough." Heather claps her hands together and scatters the children. "Go on, the lot of you." She shoos them away, with an imperious gesture. She's usually good for a sweet or three, so most of them, all but the very youngest, a three year old little girl, scatter to the winds. "You too."

The little girl holds out the hand not in her mouth.

"No sweet today. Come back tomorrow." Heather says, shooing the little girl away. She looks at the older man, sizing him up. "Well, darling, now that I've rescued you, what say you to a drink?"

"I'm at the Hotel for now. I'm not exactly planning on being here long-term," he says, limping along.

[personal profile] saintoflangley 2016-08-07 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe. But for now, I'm going to stick with both possibilities - that I've snapped, and that this is real."

He is not even close to used to Fringe-like events.

"Never tried trail coffee, but it sounds like a relative of some of the nastier brews I've had." Hey, if it had caffeine in it, he'd drink it, especially back in Vietnam. Alertness was key.

There's a lot to be said for people who are good with kids. Alex is not.

Once the crowd of urchins has dispersed, he looks at his savior, sizing her up in the same way. And literally nobody has called him 'darling' in...thirty years? Thirty years. Comes from being married to your work, and all.

"It would be churlish of me to refuse," he says with a smile. He'll cross the not-actually-drinking-alcohol bridge when they come to it.
