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:

1. Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
2. Tag around with everyone!
3. Profit like you live on a 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. A Chance Meeting at the Turtle's Head.
   Remember, being here causes a great sense of-- well, shall we say inner peace.
2. 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 turtleshell!
3. Hey, I Just Met You, and This is Crazy...
   First impressions are always the most important, right?
4. 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 need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options are also what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting and would prefer a more 'dear-mun' esque experience. Please specify in your post!

This marks the official start of the monthly test drive meme and, to celebrate, we're giving a new feature a shot. The first comment/thread on this test drive is going to be titled ENABLE ME and it's where you post character accounts/muselists, etc and others (members, passerbys, shoulder demons) can enable you to apply to Tu Shanshu! Come, let us enable you to the turtletastic madness!

[That voice?

That voice Jehan knows. And it's not Monsieur Matthews, because he can see the person it's coming from and that is Joly's coat.

Jehan grins and taps the poor doctor's shoulder]

That herb is not for a cold, Èmile.

[quatre_ailes]

[He turns and beams at Jehan, pulling him into a tight hug and leaving his cane to lean against the stall.]

Jehad! Where have you beed hidig yourself?

[poeticverses]

[He returns the hug. It's Joly.]

I do not normally come this way. The herbs tickle my nose.

[quatre_ailes]

Perhaps it id best I came wid a stuffed one, in that case.

[He rubs the aforementioned nose with a grin and settles back to grab his cane.]

Are you well?

[poeticverses]

I am, as is everyone else who is here. We missed you, Jolllly.

[quatre_ailes]

Ad I you. Who else is here?

[poeticverses]

Combeferre, Enjolras, Grantaire, and le mouchard. He did not miss you, clearly, but we have.

[quatre_ailes]

No missing aigle, then? [He sets the herb down, all haggling forgotten for the moment, then turns back to Jehan.]

Well, perhaps he will swoop down on us ad some poind.

[poeticverses]

He always has in the past and I see no reason why he should not join us eventually. Have you been here long? Do you need anything?

[quatre_ailes]

He is missing his ailes, though. [There's a little sniff, and he wrinkles his nose, shaking his head.]

Thank you, Jehad, bud I think I am alright. I have dot been here long at all.

[poeticverses]

Then he will have to follow them to the turtle, yes?

[Jehan squeezes Joly's shoulder]

Alright, you say, except for that cold.

[quatre_ailes]

I hope so. Ad eagle widout his ailes is a sad creature indeed.

[He grins and claps Jehan on the shoulder with a cheery shrug.]

I had it ad home as well, perhaps id was the sea that made id return.

[poeticverses]

Or Bossuet's luck has transferred to you and you caught another one when you arrived.

[quatre_ailes]

Or thad. [Another cheery shrug.] Thad's why I'm here, to cure id.

[poeticverses]

I have tea at my apartment that should work much better than that herb, especially since I've seen that herb sold as a remedy for stomach ailments, not a cold.

[quatre_ailes]

Then led us go there, I suppose!
