Test Drive for October 2013 Apps

[highseasmods]

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!

Heiji Hattori || Detective Conan

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ As a detective, Hattori is usually quite good at keeping track of important details, such as 'where he fell asleep last night.' He did not fall asleep last night next to a broken fountain in what appears to be some sort of theme park. Someone brought him here, and that makes the Japanese teen annoyed.]

O-oiii!! Whoever ya are that kidnapped me, ya did it wrong! You're supposed ta keep your victims captive, not dump 'em in some crappy pirate-themed tourist trap! Come out here an' face justice!!

[tantiny]

[ It'd been about a few weeks since Conan has been back on the island and apparently he got back just in time as he'd recognize that loud voice anywhere. ]

You are being held captive. Just not in the sense that you think.

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ Well, thank god for a shining light of sanity in Hattori's increasingly odd day. ]

What do ya mean, Kudo? They got you too?

[tantiny]

Yes. Though I'm not yet sure who 'they' are. It's a bit difficult to explain, and if I know you, like I think I do, this conversation is better suited for over lunch.

i lol'd hard

[callmewhateveryuwant]

[...this wasn't something he was expecting. Too bad Yu was right in the middle of Heiji's range of sight.]

Calm down, you won't get any answers like that.

My work here is done then!

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

Ahou, how calm do you stay when ya wake up someplace ya didn't fall asleep?

[ He has every right to be irritable about this, really. This is a completely unprofessional kidnapping. They don't even have the decency to leave him even the tiniest of clues on how to solve this case. ]

I take it ya got answers, then?

[callmewhateveryuwant]

I try to focus on where I am and look for any clues contributing for it. Yelling and screaming only wastes energy.

[He's been around a pint sized female detective. He's picked up a few things.]

It depends on the question.

Re: Heiji Hattori || Detective Conan

[infromthecold]

[Barnes is slightly damp because he wasn't sleeping at the time and ended up getting up close an personal with the stale rain water. He's even more out of place looking than Hattori walking around in spy gear one arm clearly a cybernetic prosthetic and a large red,white and blue shield slung across his back.

First he tenses at the volume of the yelling, it's familiar but not quite the right tone he's used to. He takes a deep breath it's some angry confused kid not some saboteur.
]

Getting plucked out of time and space normally does involve getting dumped on some random street from my experience. Least it's not in the middle of some battle be happy about that. You speak really good English kid.

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ Never the master of subtlety, Heiji stares long and hard at the newcomer. If this is a pirate-themed park, then this guy has clearly put on the wrong outfit for the day. A cosplayer? Maybe, but the man's bearing says otherwise. Whoever this guy is, he's not one to mess around with. ]

Time an' space. Yeah, right. [ His eyes narrow. That last bit didn't make any sense, but he switches over to English, just to be sure. ] I wasn't speaking English when I woke up, though I am now. You heard my Japanese as English?

[infromthecold]

This is a little to real looking to be a one of those historic restoration places. [Everything is way to worn and there are animals like chickens wandering the streets.]
Not till I got closer but you might not have been coherent in any language. Never did get around to learning Japanese.

[bladeofcalamity]

[ At hearing the reaction from that teen - an amusing reaction, he must note, he giggles, and the sound seems just shy of pure madness. He smoothly slips the thin knife he had been using to gut up some fishes into it's scabbard, to join the array of other knifes attached to his belt. ]

It's quite the real pirate town, though~

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ He hasn't survived murderers and crime scenes as long as he has without picking up a few instincts. The fishmonger right now is raising all sorts of alerts. ]

There haven't been pirates like this since th' 1860s, but this kinda pirate setup is commonly used for entertainment. Leads me to conclude that this is some sort o' amusement park. You got somethin ta prove otherwise?

[bladeofcalamity]

[ Magato might be a fishmonger right now, since he doesn't feel like joining any crew just yet, but normally, he is a killer for hire, just because he enjoys cutting up people. Then again, that's how he was created. ]

Amusemnet park? You're free to think it is, but then you'd be wrong. For example, try finding a way out.

[thatched]

And what do you expect to do when they do come out?

[asked idly, he's sitting nearby, looking as relaxed as a seven foot tall pirate can be, which is fairly dozy to near catatonic]

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ Heiji looks up. And up. Jeez, that guy is tall, even just sitting! It's actually a bit fascinating, he's never seen a case of gigantism in person before. Fascinating. ]

Make 'em face justice, o'course!

[thatched]

And how do you expect to do that? Give him a good punch in the nose? Forgive the assumption, lad, but you look as if a stiff wind could blow you away. [not to mention those pretzel sticks you call arms]

[melodyssong]

[Musa just didn't feel quite right being here, after all she had just helped in taking down yet another 'big bad' she wasn't so sure how long it would be till their peaceful life would be rocked again by another wanting to take over something. While trying to hide her true emotions, she thought she might as well try and keep as calm as possible.]

You never know, Maybe this was the kidnappers whole plan.

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

Stupid plan, then! Ahhhhh there's too much that just don't make sense!.

[ He's feeling irritable, not just because of the abduction. There's no pattern he can easily pick up, no motive and certainly no clues on the crime scene. Heiji hates operating on such little information. ]

[melodyssong]

There are a lot of things in this world that don't make sense. Sometimes it never will, you just got to deal with it.

[She shrugs slightly, she seemed awfully calm about being in the same situation.]

[muahahahaha]

Justice? Muahahaha!

[There is a ... skull. Cackling at you, Heiji. Someone has set him on the edge of the fountain and he is pleased with his vantage point of the confused arrivals.]

Justice is a meaningless word, to one so powerful as myself!

((ooc: Murray is just a skull and prone to getting picked up and carted around in canon. Feel free to investigate him thoroughly!))

omg are you murray from monkey island ILU

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ Heiji is impressed with the animatronics, and naturally goes over to check it out. He picks up the skull and turns it around in his hands. ]

Not bad, not bad! Pretty realistic for a prop!

Is there any other kind of Murray?

[muahahahaha]

[Murray, on the other hand, is less than pleased with this new development.]

Unhand me this instant, you feckless peasant!

Who do you think you're calling a prop!?

lol heiji pls

[havecanewillsteal]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I can go find some rope.

[ Says the Raccoon Thief. He's so amused. Will you calm down, dude? ]

you can't stop the shouting

[perfectlygoodjapanese]

[ ... A talking, clothed raccoon. What the hell kind of amusement park is this, anyway? ]

No, it would not make me feel better! NOT BEIN' KIDNAPPED would make me feel better!

...Nice costume, though.

[havecanewillsteal]

Costume? What, me? Nah.

[ Pffff, dude. He's just gonna lean on his cane now, yup. And maybe wonder if you've got any loot stashed on you he can pickpocket-- ]

Not being kidnapped would make all sorts of people happy, I wager, but if you're gonna go for realism, properly tying yourself up is DEFINITELY the only way to fully cement the "ghosty pirate kidnapping experience".
