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!

[You'll have to work, they'd told her.

Sabriel had never worked a day in her life. Still, she had recieved an education, and she intended to put it to use.

And so she found herself in a square in the Earth District, putting on a magic show, with flashes of Charter-conjured light and some parlor tricks that were the some of the first spells she'd learned, making wooden balls hidden in her pockets appear in her hands, and tossing them to the audience before using a different spell to snatch them back, keeping a polite smile on her face the whole time, trying to keep her unease from showing through.

She tried to pretend that she's back at Wyverley College, and this was simply another practical examination. She'd known these spells for years, there was no reason to be nervous. Still, her fingers fumbled with the balls, and Sabriel felt the smile slip from her face.]

[To say Merida was going through culture shock would be an understatement. There was nothing in her life which had prepared her for this.

So you'll have to excuse her as she blindly backs into Sabriel.

There's a squeak of surprise before she immediately turns to face who ever she hit]

I'm so so sorry. I didn't see y'there.

[And normally she wouldn't be so apologetic, but what is this place even--]
