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 certainly would like that. [Hi, he never got over the death of his son.]

I haven't yet. It doesn't come highly recommended, so I've been... trying to plan. Prepare.

[fishy_empath]

Not recommended? Tu Vishan carries us. We should at least try to contact him.

Shouldn't we? [She'll trust her father's judgment on this issue.]

[relentlesstide]

It is apparently very old, very difficult to connect with, if not impossible. You received my... abilities? [Oh. Fatherly pride. He hasn't felt that since Garth.]

[fishy_empath]

Yours, and Mother's. [Embarrassed smile] Though I've hardly mastered hydrokinesis.

[relentlesstide]

I'm sure she'd be happy to teach you more. [Oh god she really is their daughter. It hurts a little, to know that this is what could have been, but... At least he's meeting her now.] Perhaps together we can make contact. I used to do something similar with the Martian Manhunter.

[fishy_empath]

Don't think she didn't try back home. [Mareena smiles up at the younger version of her father.] But I;d be glad for more.

And happy to help you make contact. [Father-daughter-Turtle bonding time is important time]

[relentlesstide]

[He can't help but laugh a little; if she's their daughter, it's entirely likely that she's just as stubborn as they both are.] Then we'll try together. In the meantime, our suite is nearby - you're more than welcome.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you. I always wanted a daughter...

[fishy_empath]

Of course. I'm... [Mareena frowns. She's not really sure how exactly to respond to that. She knows her father already, of course. Just not this one.]

[relentlesstide]

I'm sorry, this must be... difficult for you, me not being what you expected.

[fishy_empath]

I didn't expect anything. I definitely didn't expect to be here...

We should ask Tu Vishan why we're here. I don't want to wait.

[relentlesstide]

It's a very old creature, actual communication might not be possible. I believe we'd be more likely to get images, flashes.

We'll get your mother to come with us and we'll try, though. I'd like some answers myself.
