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!

Pffft, what kind of a greeting is that! If I had anything to do with this, don't you think there'd be more snow?

[naughtyornice]

Nah. Too much giveaway.

Yetis and I learned long ago to never underestimate you. How you think they keep you out of home for so long?

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack can't help it, he threw his arms around North though they only managed to go part of the way. ]

I can't believe you're here!

[naughtyornice]

[And in return, North will pick the lean boy up in both arms, holding him tightly to his massive chest. A hearty laughs escapes him. Despite the accusations, he is extremely glad to see his fellow Guardian again.]

Watch your tongue, boy. You know how we Guardians feel of not believing!

[He laughs as he puts Jack down again. Clearly amused at his own "joke"]

Which reminds me...

Where is 'here'?

[wintershepherd]

[ Jack stuck out his tongue, just for that. ]

You're on a giant turtle! This city and the whole continent, it's swimming around in the ocean.

[naughtyornice]

[He hesitates. Stroking his beard in contemplation.]

Hmm. I see.

[...]

[...]

[...]

...why?

[wintershepherd]

Why is it swimming? Because I think it'd probably get bored sitting in one place.

[ Jack is being a brat. ]

[naughtyornice]

[Stop that.]

Nyet, Nyet! This, I know.

I meant why are we here? You and me.

Man in Moon did not give indication we would be brought anywhere since last battle. I was almost looking forward to vacation.

[You know, if Santa ever took a vacation. Which he didn't.]

[wintershepherd]

The Man in the Moon isn't behind this, it's the Emperor whose in charge here. She -- well, Evandau actually -- tells people that we're needed to help fight for them. Against what, I don't know.

And I know this is going to sound really weird, but I've been here almost three months.

[naughtyornice]

What is weird about that? I should be so lucky as to know where you always are!

[Beyond counting down his own Holiday, three months tends to fly by for one who has lived as long as he has.]

Although...tell me more of this Emperor. Or Evandau. Whoever is telling you things.
