Test Drive for October 2014 Apps
Welcome to your monthly Test Drive for
high_seas! Here is where new players can test out their characters' voices, old players can try out new muses, and everyone can help each other get some threads for their applications! Feel free to use one of the prompts below, or come up with something on your own! Comment around, have fun, and remember that any CR formed here does not carry over to the game!See you during the application round!
♦ So you're new to this world and have just woken up in the Town Square. How do you react? What do you do?
♦ You're lost at sea. Maybe you got separated from your crew. Or perhaps you're on an abandoned island. You need help!
♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!
♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!
♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!
♦ Arrr, here be buried treasure, but not all that glitters is gold! Will ye be telling your mateys what ye found, or keeping it for yourselves?
Tohru Mutou | Shiki | OTA
[Tohru has no idea how to operate a sailboat of any shape or size. He does, however, know how to follow instructions, and 'check the ropes to make sure they're in good condition' is a perfectly easy instruction to follow. No one ever said he wasn't allowed to explore the ship while he did the checking.]
B: Aboard a ship 2: Electric Boogaloo
[Driving a boat is like driving a car, right? Right. At least it looks that way. Did you let this guy take the helm? If not, you might want to pull him away from it before he crashes into something.]
C: Choose Your Own Adventure!
B
[The Sun isn't far away, but Rogue's taken the newbie out on the Little Dipper for a bit of a sailing lesson. She's... picked up... more than her share of knowledge about sailing. Unfortunately, she can't pass it on quite as easily.
And, hey, she could use a little time off from the noise of the main crew.
So while she's let him have the wheel, she's taken to minding the sailboat's rigging.]
It takes time t' respond. Ain' like a car. Wind's not hard right now, so you don' have t' move hard. Take it slower, an' she won' jerk as much.
no subject
[A car that's not TOO much smaller than the sailboat, but wheels are more easily maneuverable. He corrects according to Rogue's advice.]
What do I do if the wind does come up?
no subject
[She indicates the ropes she's got in her hands now.]
If you wanna go with th' wind? You can increase sail. Let it out more an' let it catch the wind, then turn in as y' need ta.
If y' don'? Then y' decrease sail an' bide it.
