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!

I don't want to join any task force, I want to go home. Or at least I want the stupid fruit.

[imaginate]

[His eyes widen slightly, before he picks up the fruit, pays for it, and hands it to her.] Hey, take it slow. I'm Kyle. And you?

[notin]

You didn't--

[Deep breaths, girl. Deep breaths. Somewhat calmer.]

You didn't have to do that. I was given money. Which is a little weird without any sort of online banking system, but anyway. I'm Felicity. Nice to meet you, I guess, Kyle.

[imaginate]

Hey, you just got kidnapped and brought to goodness knows where. Couple of people working on a way back, but until then, it takes a while to settle in. [Beat.] Nice to meet you, Felicity. Anyone else from your world here?

[notin]

I... [slightly embarrassed.] I haven't looked, yet. I was hungry!

[imaginate]

Okay, how about a meal first. How hungry are you?

[notin]

Well... [She holds up the fruit. That is an answer, right?]

[imaginate]

Nuh-uh. First day in town, the lady gets a proper dinner. [Playful smile.]

[notin]

[Well. That is... unexpected.]

Really?

[imaginate]

Sure. What are you in the mood for?

[notin]

... no pork. Anything else goes.

[imaginate]

[Rubs his neck and smiles sheepishly at her.] Meat... works a little differently here. But I know a place.

[notin]

[Okay, that's better. He's not acting like it's a date, and so she can deal with it. Not that she starts talking any slower, short sentences coming out in little bursts.]

Maybe they'll have vegetarian, then. Or I'll experiment. Lead the way!
