[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!

Kosuiryo | Original Character

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo has never had rum. She's had light sake from when visiting the fishing village near the shore, but that'd only been because she hadn't specified what context of drink she'd wanted when she'd been treated by the kindly old fisherman's wife. So rum is a heady experience -- especially since Kosuiryo so rarely drinks.

When you live underwater, it's impossible to drink anything except maybe water.

She's seated precariously on the side of the ship near the edge, rum bottle in hand, already a quarter gone.

She giggles, cheeks flushed. ]

Thissh ish delishioush.

[om_nom_namur]

Don't know that delicious is a word I'd use t' describe it, but it's fun as hell, huh? Sheheheh!

[Namur's gonna wind up fishing this one out of the deep. He just has a feeling. And he can see the way she's sort of wobbling even when the boat isn't. Might as well get comfortable and wait for the inevitable to happen.]

What's yer name, Girlie? Can y' even remember it right now?

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo's perceptions are knocked for a loop, so when she turns her head, she turns too fast and almost topples over onto the deck. But she grips the rope just in time and only slips her rump over the side, swaying side to side.

She just laughs. ]

Shverry shfun! Hee hee!

[ She wiggles her legs, stuck under the weight of her kimono. No doubt, if she falls into the water in her addled state, she'll sink like a rock.

She sticks out her lower lip and tilts her head back to look at Namur upside-down. If it's not comical, then it's certainly amusing. ] Iys shcan remebsher!

[om_nom_namur]

[Amusing, maybe. If he knew who the hell this maid was and how the hell she got on the ship and into the rum in the first place.]

Sorry sweetheart I don't speak that dialect a drunk. The hell y' sayin'?

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo giggles. ]

Ish shaiddddd, ish shverry shfun!

[om_nom_namur]

[A long-suffering moan, and Namur grabs the collar of the girl's kimono in one hand, lifting her easily out of the rigging.]

Ain't got the foggiest idea who y' are or what yer doin' here but y' had 'nuff t' drink, obviously, an' yer gonna go talk t' the captain, who's gonna decide if we keep y' or chuck y' off the side a the ship.

[He slings her over his shoulder and starts walking, then stops suddenly.]

Don't y' dare sick up on the damn deck or y' won't make it t' see the captain, I'll toss y' overboard on principle.

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo squeals when she's swung onto Namur's shoulder like some sack of rice, dropping the bottle in the process. ] Rummy! [ Thankfully it doesn't break against the deck but it does start leaking, prompting the dragon princess to start kicking her legs wildly. ] Leggo! Y'made a mesh!

[yaylungcancer]

[It wasn't too unusual to find at least one of the crew drunk and wandering around on deck. This one was a new sight, however.]

You should uh. Probably not sit so close to the edge if you're going to be that drunk.

[ryuuhime]

[ The dragon princess waves the bottle in the air, sloshing around the contents inside. ]

Ish drunk? [ She's giggling. ]

[yaylungcancer]

[He wonders briefly if he should take the bottle from her.]

It sure sounds like it. Maybe you should go down to the galley and get some food in your stomach before you get sick.

[ryuuhime]

[ She nods, more from the jumpy feeling in her body than from agreement with Badou. ]

'Kay. [ And she swings her leg over the side of the edge, planting her feet upon the deck…and then promptly stumbles down. ] Ooof! [ It's a good thing she's wearing so many kimono layers. They act as a cushion against the impact. ] Ish shell down.

[yaylungcancer]

Yes. Yes you did.

[Trying his best not to laugh, he reaches down to offer her a hand up.]

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo takes that hand, and tries to get up, but she's on wobbly legs and the alcohol in her system is knocking her equilibrium for a loop. ] Thshank yous.

[yaylungcancer]

[He helps her as best he can, somehow getting her back on her feet.]

Don't thank me yet. We still have to get you some food and get you back to your bunk. C'mon. [Time to try walking now.]

[ryuuhime]

[ She lets him help her up, still wobbling on her heels. ] Shright. [ And she tries to follow, but again, the alcohol has done a good job of ruining her perceptions. She has to reach out and grab onto Badou's shirt to keep from falling. ] Shlead.

[yaylungcancer]

[Oh man, it's been awhile since he's had to help a drunk person... Once he's sure he's got an arm securely around her waist, he starts heading for the galley.]

I hope you like toast, because that's what I'm going to make for you.
