Test Drive for July 2014 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!

♦ 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?

Yes? that is my name. [He said softly, as if to say ‘what else should I be named?’, hi head tilted. But the man introduced himself, so he nodded his head in return, a bow. People don’t shake hands unless you are sealing a deal, so it’s okay. He didn’t offer his wing or anything.]

Nice to meet you, Doctor! the medical kind? [he asked, curious, before glancing off to where the girl had ran off.]

I don’t know! The woman I was talking to said something about an Isle? Empanada or something? Emphysema? I don’t know. It doesn’t sound like anywhere on Permecia. Oh! [He held up the journal she handed to him and frowned, wings wrapped around it.]

‘You can find your kind with this’, she said...

[guardian_doctor]

Yes, medical doctor. [He confirms, before looking at his own journal.] I wonder what she meant by that. I'm fairly certain I'm not a phoenix. Perhaps there are other, ah, "visitors" about?

[He chuckles slightly.] It's probably not the "Isle of Emphysema", that seems just a tad unlikely.

[peter_the_phnx]

Like a healer, who doesn’t travel? Very nice. Always handy. [he said with a strong level of approval and a nod. As for the journal thing, he just glanced at it, not opening it.] You don’t look like a Phoenix, no. Maybe she meant people from the mainland? You’re strangely dressed, but you could be, what, Granseal? New Granseal?

[CLEARLY he just thinks you’re from home.] I knew I heard her wrong. It’s an island of some sort though. You can feel it in the air.

[guardian_doctor]

I don't know what a "Granseal" is. I'm American. [Said more absentmindedly than anything.]

That's "island air"? I thought it meant it was going to rain. [Eyes the sky doubtfully. Being coastal would explain the salty tang in the breeze though...]

[peter_the_phnx]

Huh. I don’t know what an American is. [Interesting. Was that a different land? How very interesting. oh, but the matter at hand. He sniffed the air, and smiled as well as a bird can]

Mmm, yes. An Island. Not landlocked. You can catch the feel from all sides and not just one. Water isn’t far from here either. [he bristled a bit though, feathers fluffing in annoyance] I was a few days journey from the ocean. This is just very strange. Unsettling.
