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?

Yeah, yeah. [not gonna argue that]

Gan Ning - I'm captain of this ship. Lost yours, huh? That sucks.

[caster_blaster]

Yeah, but even that was a major downgrade, compared to sailing the stars.

[youhearthebells]

.....no kidding.

[he's heard rumors that some people around here can make that claim.]

You serious? Not in the oh-I'm-some-kinda-mystic I-totally-walk-the-heavens way?

[caster_blaster]

No, as in having the technology to get in a closed "ship" and leave the surface of the planet to venture out in that great, dark abyss.

[youhearthebells]

[shakes his head like that's the craziest damn thing he's ever heard]

Man, I don't even know...

[caster_blaster]

It's a lot of stuff that requires context that I'm too exhausted to give, right now.

[youhearthebells]

Yeah, I don't think I wanna try to wrap my brain around it right now, either. Guess in the meantime you'll just have to get used to the sea instead of the stars.

[caster_blaster]

It really sucks. I can't believe people ever traveled this slowly.

[youhearthebells]

[SNORTS]

And I can't believe people took gunpowder and invented a way to make weapons out of it, but there it is. Ya deal with it if ya wanna survive.

[caster_blaster]

Heard there's a lady who sells a lot interesting stuff. Might be able to score me some ammo, if I'm lucky.

[youhearthebells]

Oh, yeah! Her. She's pretty great! Found me a bow from my era that even had the Wu tiger on it, it was pretty sweet. She can find anything.

We're headed back to Empieza anyway, we can drop ya off and let ya go see her in person.
