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?

Trou...? [He quickly hides a smirk. Oh dear, seems that had been taken to mean "accidentally let you roll off". He probably shouldn't attempt to clarify, he'd only cause trouble for himself.]

Ahem. Anything specific, or just anything unusual? [After a thought, he adds:] ...Or did you just want a leaf off of everything?

[witcraft]

[doesn't pick up on that — she's far too used to having people try to preserve her life than the opposite] Well, that wouldn't be very practical... so, whatever you find unusual will work! If anything seems like it would be useful, I can ask someone else on our crew to pick more up on a second search.

[resting her chin in her hands] I wonder if anyone will find treasure... it seems like a pretty boring island from here.

[guardian_doctor]

[He nods.] Right.

[He looks the island over again.] Doesn't really seem like a place one would seek out to hide things on... So unless there are natives... Hm. [He cocks his head thoughtfully.] Does it look inhabited? I don't know much about categorizing islands.

[witcraft]

Neither would I... [hasn't seen many islands in her life, this one]

But maybe someone would bury their stuff here for that exact reason! Like, "it's boring, so no one will ever think to suspect it."

[guardian_doctor]

I was think less of its lack of interest and more of how difficult hauling anything substantial up and down those inclines would be.

[witcraft]

Oh... yes, I suppose that's true as well...

[not. not usually the one who has to deal with the actual hiking part of things] I guess we can't expect gold. Maybe diamonds, those are lighter.
