TEST DRIVE MEME | #52


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 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!

"Someone swapped your clothing while you were unconscious." This sardonically, accompanied by raised eyebrows. "That's novel."

He can honestly say that's never happened to him. Bloodied clothes removed, perhaps. Changed into entirely unfitting clothes? Never.

"Now why would you think we're dead?" Yuan asks thoughtfully, noting the closed eyes and drawing a few more conclusions. "Neither of us seem to be."
snakelight: (quite simple)

It's tempting to answer the other man's sardonic observation with a sarcastic comment in kind. Novel? Really? Snake had no idea waking up in the wrong clothes isn't normal. Does that mean coffins as beds has also gone out of style?

There are a couple reasons he doesn't. First, he's beginning to suspect that standards of normal might be very different from what he's used to. Secondly, not being dead is far more interesting.

"We're in a country I don't recognise," he says, "where courtyards are built of stone I've never encountered before. Not to mention before all this, I was trapped in a sinking ship at the mercy of someone trying their level best to kill me. Under the circumstances, I don't think it's an odd conclusion to come to."
conductingresistance: (it's been getting so hard)

Coffins as beds have never been in style, to Yuan's knowledge. Maybe in another world. Or in the Temple of Darkness.

He will, however, concede that this person has a point about previously being in a lethal situation. There's a tip of his head, and a faint hum of acknowledgment. "It seems some sort of cross-dimensional leap has occurred without our permission." Please, don't let him have to explain dimensional theories to this man. "You certainly come from an... interesting situation. Do you have a name?"

Most people have names. It's not a very thinly veiled query.
snakelight: (plebeians)

[personal profile] snakelight 2017-09-20 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent. They're on the same page.

A cross-dimensional leap is, so far, the most plausible explanation Snake has been offered. It comes with its own problems, of course -- how long has he been here? How long will he be here? How will the others fare, without his bracelet to help get them through the numbered doors? Will his sister be alright?

But it's better than being dead and entirely clueless.

"Snake." The name comes effortlessly, before Snake pauses to think about it. He nods once. "Snake. How common is this cross-dimensional leap?"
conductingresistance: (i'm reaching out for something)

[personal profile] conductingresistance 2017-09-24 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
What a name. Yuan raises a skeptical brow; it's a pity that will be lost on this man. "Yuan."

Interesting that he had to think about his instinctive reaction.

"It seems tolerably common, from what I've been able to gather. There are a variety of others similarly afflicted here. Some from my own world, in fact." His tone takes on a pinched sort of quality; the only reason he's sharing this is in the interests of pooling information, not because he actually likes those people.
