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!

Father mentioned. If you and he are from the same timeline.

[queenoftheseas]

Oh, you've seen him already. [She doesn't even question if Mareena's father is Arthur or not] We're from the same one. Around the same point too, I think. What's your name?

[fishy_empath]

Mareena. Sometimes they call me Aquagirl.

[queenoftheseas]

That's a lovely name. [Definitely something she would name a child] There's an Aquagirl in our timeline and another one before her. Neither of them are related to us.

[fishy_empath]

Then I follow in their legacy as well as yours and Father's. [Approval please mommy. She does not like being treated like a stranger.]

[queenoftheseas]

Yes, I suppose you do. I'm sure Arthur will be proud of that. [She's trying but her brain is still in the process of rebooting] I'm sorry, I don't quite know how to react to you. As I said, Arthur and I have no children in our time.

[fishy_empath]

[But Mommy you be proud of her too please. Mareena sort of spreads her arms out in a 'well, look at me' gesture.] And here you do.

[queenoftheseas]

Yes, yes I suppose....[She has such conflicting feelings right now] Would it be strange to hug you?

[fishy_empath]

[As her answer, Mareena moves in to hug her mother.]
