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!

"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."

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."

"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?"

"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."

[personal profile] consultingbishop 2016-08-06 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"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."

[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.
consultingbishop: (194)

[personal profile] consultingbishop 2016-08-07 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
A lazy shrug.

"It honestly might be both."
saintoflangley: (Uneasy // chatvert)

[personal profile] saintoflangley 2016-08-07 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"And that's a fun thought to let fester." He sighs. "I suppose I'll have to get used to it. So go ahead, test my imagination. Give me an example."
consultingbishop: (038)

[personal profile] consultingbishop 2016-08-07 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"From here, or where I'm from?"

His smile widens slightly.
saintoflangley: (Default)

[personal profile] saintoflangley 2016-08-07 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He shrugs. "Either." How crazy can it be where this guy's from?

"How about a toxin that, when released, covers all of the victim's orifices in their own skin?"

And that's just for starters.

"That's a new one on me. Sounds a bit like hyperbolic dysentery, though."

"Alright. Human bombs. A chemical that rejigged the human body to explode when exposed to a certain type of radiation."

"...so a more sophisticated suicide bomber, and one that can beat security checks." Yeah, he remembers the Beirut bombing.
consultingbishop: (007)

[personal profile] consultingbishop 2016-08-08 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"How about bonding a man's consciousness with that of a dead little girl accidentally due to heavy radiation exposure?"
saintoflangley: (Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne//chatvert)

[personal profile] saintoflangley 2016-08-08 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"...what."

There ya go.

"There's also spider parasites, dark matter possession, alternate universes."

He's ticking them off on his fingers, Alex.

[personal profile] saintoflangley 2016-08-08 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, but radiation doesn't work that way."

"It does when the natural barrier that governs all science is shattered and broken."

"Traveling to alternate universes kinda does that."

He's saying this entirely straight-faced, too.

"You're pulling my leg."

Womp womp.
