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?

Well, I wasn't sure what else to expect... [clearing her throat in a vain attempt to restore her dignity as she straightens herself on rainier's back and... wills herself to stop touching the squishy...]

Sorry... I won't do that again. [peering into the distance curiously] By the way, do you know where we're going? Or are you just going in a random direction?

It's not like I minded all that much. Strange isn't always a bad thing, you know.

[Actually, it was kinda cute. Like having a little sister around. Still, they did have a job to do. No doubt the captain would have a fit if they didn't accomplish anything today. Rainier probably would too. It really has been so long since she went out on a hunt like this.]

I have a rough idea. The map we received wasn't the best, but I hardly need one in the first place. I come from a long line of treasure hunters; this is just second nature to me.

[witcraft]

Really? What kinds of treasure have you seen before?

I come from a long line of witches — [you know, just throwing that out there, in case anyone forgot] — but I've never really seen treasure before. I always imagine, like, pretty crystals, or treasure chests full of gold, like in storybooks.

[Congrats, Sieglinde. You actually made Rainier smile. Talking about things like this always fills her chest with a sense of pride. And then there's all the memories.]

You're not wrong. There's lots of treasure to be found. Gold, silver, gems of all kinds, and exotic artifacts. The artifacts can be just about anything, but they're usually the rarest. Of course I have a preference for gems, myself. They're easier to carry around than a sword or a set of armor. Plus they're a lot nicer to look at.
