Test Drive for November 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!

Re: Hachiken Yugo | Silver Spoon

(A)

[Winry is sitting on the edge of the fountain, watching him while she eats a popsicle. She'd moved him out of the direct path of the locals, though they didn't seem the type to just walk on someone.]

Welcome to Isla Empieza.

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Isla...Empieza?

[Hachiken's brow furrows and he rubs his eyes under his glasses. Who was the pretty girl talking to him?]

But I was just...

[hands4healing]

[Winry sucks on the end of her popsicle, completely unaware of the affect that could have on teenage boys. When the young man finishes talking, she nods.]

Just...somewhere else? That happens around here!

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[Fortunately, Hachiken can keep himself together for just a little while. Especially when he's just appeared somewhere unfamiliar.]

I...must have gotten lost again. Do you know the way to Ezonoo?

[hands4healing]

Um. [Winry tries to think if she's heard of an island with that name.]

No, I'm sorry. Do you know what direction it's in?

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[He shakes his head.]

No idea. That's where I was going before I came here. This place looks very strange, the buildings aren't right.

[Hachiken sighs.] Thanks, I guess.

[hands4healing]

You're welcome! I'm sorry I don't have any better information, but there are a lot of us here, like you. We don't know how we got here, or why we're here, anyway. Except someone wants us to find a red stone.

[Winry pulls a face here. She doesn't really like red stones.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

A red stone? What for?

[He's confused, to put it mildly.]

[hands4healing]

There's the fountain. It'll tell you why. Kind of. It's more of a riddle than anything!

[Winry's confused, too.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[Well he can do riddles. He heads over to the fountain to read it. He twitches a few times.]

Aren't I still in Japan?

[hands4healing]

[Winry tilts her head to the side. She's never heard of 'Japan' before, but she'd not heard of a lot of places people talk about here.]

No. Sorry. This is Isla Empieza, and...it's only friendly for a few days, then the natives [She waves her hand to indicate the people around them, ignoring them] kick us off.

[unlikelyfarmhand]

What?!

[His eyes are wide and he slumps to his knees. These kinds of shocks. How was he supposed to get back to Ezonoo this way? People were waiting for him to come back!]

That's...that doesn't make any sense. I just left the optometrist.

[hands4healing]

[She sounds sympathetic.]

I'm sorry. I know it doesn't help, but we're all in the same boat!

[Ha ha.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Well...thank you, I think.

[Hachiken deflates and drops to his knees. Why do all the bad things just happen to him?]

[hands4healing]

[Winry stares at him for a few seconds.]

Are you all right?

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[He blinks a moment and looks up at her. People normally just ignore him when he's up to his theatrics.]

Uh...yeah. I'm fine.

[He gives her a shy little smile, blushing a little. She really is a pretty girl.]

[hands4healing]

Are you sure? [Winry's accustomed to completely different types of dramatics, after all.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Yeah, really sure. [Hachiken stands and dusts off his pants.]

So...do you know anywhere for a good cup of coffee?

[hands4healing]

[Winry's dubious, but if he says he's okay - and he's not physically bleeding or anything - well, he's okay.]

I don't think there's coffee here!

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Ah, that's too bad.

[He sighs. Oh well.]

[hands4healing]

[Winry finishes off her popsicle and hops off the ledge.]

There are a couple of places to get other things! I hear if you want something badly enough, there's a place that can get almost anything. I'm not sure of the price, though.

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Would you mind showing me around?

[hands4healing]

No, I'd be happy to! Come on!

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Thank you.

[He smiles at her and follows her.]

What kinds of things have you found here?

[hands4healing]

Mmm, mostly the shipyard, and the shops. I had to buy a few things before we set sail.
