Test Drive Meme | #46


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. Let's play cops and robbers!
    Local law enforcement is handled by the Keeliai Police Department, an organization of both Foreigners and kedan dedicated to keeping the peace in the turtle... and they're about to make a raid on a large, illegal gambling ring! Are you going to collar the nearest bad guy, or are you one of the high rollers now looking to make a quick escape? Or a bookie who's now getting booked downtown?

  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!

Sherlock hasn't been there too long and he hasn't fully adapted to his new surroundings but luckily the desire to throw a massive tantrum has subsided. He'd sought out people who might know what had happened to him and quickly learned that the same thing had happened to a lot of people. The idea was less than comforting but he has little experience in the field of dreamland or wherever it was.

Just for the fun of it he checks his phone again and makes a face when there's no signal. He hadn't really expected one but it's annoying all the same. To pass time he comes up to a local diner with the intention of just getting a coffee when someone bursts through the door and nearly knocks him over. The words "Thief!" meet his ears and he spins around to chase after the thief. This would be so much easier if he were more comfortable in this city, he'd find an alley to cut him off at.

As it was, if he took an ally he'd risk losing the thief for good. Besides, he was starting to get bored and this was the first exciting thing to happen since he got here.

When the commotion started, Conan had been walking down the road nearby. Having been here long enough to map out some of the alleys, he dodges down the nearest one, and takes a quick shortcut through a shop to get in front of the thief.

A soccerball comes flying in from the side and knocks the thief onto the ground.

The timing of that football was a little too good. He watches as after making contact with the thief the football bounces off and lands a few feet away. The projectile was lunched at a quite a speed if it was traveling fast enough to knock the thief over. He comes to a stop next to the thief and picks up a bag that had been discarded the moment the theif met with the ground.

"You should really know better than to take things that don't belong to you." He says almost conversationally even though it's obvious the man is out cold.

His next question is where did that football even ocme from, he turns to see the child in the alley and makes a face. There was no way a child could luanched a football at such a high velocity without some form of assist.

Conan peers thoughtfully out of the alleyway as the stranger removes the stolen bag from the thief. Interesting.

Hurrying out of the alley, Conan picks up his deflating soccerball and smiles brightly at Sherlock.

"I didn't hit you, did I? I was practicing in the alley, and I wasn't expecting anyone to be this close."

"I really hope you don't expect me to believe that." He answers, looking down at the now deflated football and then gives the kid a good look over.

"Your first mistake was the amount of information you gave me, just asking if I had been hit would have been enough but you went on to explain exactly what happened before I had the chance to ask. Your second was speed at which your football was traveling just now-much too fast for a child of your size that was only practicing."

He looks down at the unconscious thief once more and then offered the bag to the child.

"You could just admit that you chased after, and successfully apprehended the purse snatcher."

"Most people wouldn't have noticed any of that." The boy's posture shifts slightly as he drops the childish attitude. He ignores the rest of the comments. "Are you a detective, by any chance?"

He takes the bag and checks it over in a very professional manner.

[personal profile] of_deduction 2016-10-27 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes." He states calmly. "And judging by the fact you can recognise the signs I'd say you're one too. If a bit... small."

Very small, and a little young but if the young man has correctly pegged him for a detective then he most likely likes to play detective. It won't hurt him to play along. Plus, something about this kid is off.

"Sherlock Holmes. And you are?"
spoilsfun: (Default)

[personal profile] spoilsfun 2016-10-27 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
"You could give me your real name, you know."

The boy's expression sours. "I might be a kid detective, but I'm not going to fall for something like that."
of_deduction: (Still very uncomfortable)

[personal profile] of_deduction 2016-10-27 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
That earns a very concerned look. Had he given any indication that he was lying? He'd have no reason to so what would make this kid think he hadn't given anything but his real name?

"That is my real name. What reason could I possibly have to lie to you?"

"Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character. One well enough known that it seems unlikely that anyone else would share the same name."
of_deduction: (contemplating things)

[personal profile] of_deduction 2016-10-27 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Is this child really arguing with him over his name? If that weren't irritating enough he seems to be under the impression that he's a fictional character. To which, Sherlock has no real idea of how to respond.

"I can say with certainty that I've never been aware of sharing a name with any sort of fictional character. But regardless of that, I assure you that is my real name. Whether or not you believe it is on you."

"But think about it, really think. Can you come up with any reason I might have to lie about my name?" If he says yes then that just means this kid is paranoid.

"People have a lot of different reasons to lie."

Sherlock had him figured out already.

[personal profile] of_deduction 2016-10-28 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
This kid is paranoid. He takes in breath and looks the kid over again-still something wasn't adding up.

"Well, you aren't wrong." People did have various reasons to lie-even to lie to a kid. "But I think we've already established I'm not most people."

[personal profile] spoilsfun 2016-10-28 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"All we've established so far is that you're a detective."
of_deduction: (/judging so hard)

[personal profile] of_deduction 2016-10-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
He makes a face as though he's considering the statement.

"Mm, actually, I believe it was you that stated 'most people' wouldn't have noticed what I have. Shall I tell you what else I've noticed?"

[personal profile] spoilsfun 2016-10-29 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"That's true. But isn't it a detective's job to notice all the things that most people don't see?"

Conan eyes him skeptically.

"Somehow I don't think my opinion on it matters."
