Test Drive for August 2014 Apps




Welcome to your monthly Test Drive for [community profile] 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?

[...There's a lot to say about her world, but most of it comes down to mutants. And, well. This guy's flirting pretty hard but still being polite. The last thing Rogue wants to do is bring up powers.

She'll either freak him out or give him the idea to use her for something. That's just how her life goes.]


I live in a boarding house. Basically a lot of people my age with a few adults we aren't related to looking out for us. So we can all attend the same school, live together, things like that.

We call it the Xavier Institute.

[It's not inevitable with Anna. Mostly because Rogue's been a nice person so far. If she'd been told of her powers right from the beginning, she may have been a little wary, but only because she wouldn't have known anything of her personality. She's only been kind to Anna so far though, and obviously if she's wearing gloves then she's taking precaution not to hurt others, so she feels no reason to be afraid.]

Oh, I had been sort of wondering about the gloves. My sister used to wear gloves all the time too, to try and help control her powers. So is it just your hands that do that, then? [Mostly there's just curiosity here.]
tactilelearner: (Thinking)

Any bare skin.

[Which is why, regardless of weather, she covers up as much as possible. Sometimes in sheerer, lighter fabrics because as long as it's solid, it doesn't matter. But covers up.

At least the girl hasn't scooted away. That... is a small comfort, and small comforts are something Rogue knows to appreciate.]


Grew up bein' told I had a skin condition an' had t' cover up. 'Cause they knew what my powers'd be, just not when they'd start workin'.

Uh. Well, not me personally. I think the crew has money, though? [She looks thoughtful for a second, because she's never actually asked anyone about that. It's never been something she's had to worry about. Not back home, nor while she's been here.] Yeah, we must have some, because we restock supplies and things every so often.

For shame, Almaz! Your meager troubles are one drop of soup compared to the boiling stockpot of Mao or your lady fair! What kind of hero cries out for rescue?
insaneorders: (11)

[A]

[personal profile] insaneorders 2014-07-28 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Talking books. What a concept.

...wait a second...]


There's only one voice I know that sounds that pathetic. Almaz?

[Oh hey, it's your friendly neighborhood Salvatore.]

[personal profile] abravelikehero 2014-07-29 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
That shouldn't be an issue I still have my sword!
abravelikehero: (Shock! (demon set))

[personal profile] abravelikehero 2014-07-29 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Am I really that pathetic to you!?

B-but still, I'm so happy to hear your voice! I need help!
insaneorders: (06)

[personal profile] insaneorders 2014-07-29 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I call them as I see them.

[So yes. Though thankfully she's not completely heartless.]

Are you in some sort of actual danger?
alovingheart: (* nothing to hide)

wow sorry for slow tags

[personal profile] alovingheart 2014-07-30 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns a bit, because that sounds pretty awful. And she can imagine how hard it would be to have to avoid any skin contact with anyone, though she can't imagine her skin contact hurting people, she can't fathom how she'd be able to deal with that. Obviously, Rogue is a really strong person.]

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Not that my apologizing really helps anything, I know... But I'm glad you found a place that helped you, with people who can relate. [She'd sort of already said that before though...] Anyway, I know it's not exactly the same here, but I think you'll find that a lot of people here are pretty understanding. And many of them have powers, too. So you're not alone.
tactilelearner: (Default)

No problem! I totally understand.

[personal profile] tactilelearner 2014-07-30 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's just... I don' like tellin' people, an' here... It's pretty dangerous not to, 'cause if they don' know, they don' know t' be careful.

[Which is frustrating enough.]

But if they do know, well... Let's jus' say I've seen a lot of people -- mutant or not -- who hear 'bout my powers an' think they'd be pretty useful, whether I wanna help or not.

If I served a noodle bowl that whimpered, I would be ashamed! A noodle bowl must have spice and flavor! It does not beg to be eaten, it demands to be eaten!

If only that were the case. I must say that this is the first time I've ended up in one this unfamiliar to me, but this is without a doubt not the world I started out from. Here.

[He fishes the journal he's been carrying with him throughout his travels out of his satchel. He probably could just hold it out, but he takes this opportunity to step into her space and attempt to put it into her hands.]

Have a look through this, if you'd like.

[personal profile] knightlydiary 2014-07-31 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

[Young ladies far from home with minimal adult supervision. Living together, attending school together, possibly...no, no, Ringabel, focus.]

So you're a scholar, then! I thought you had quite an air of intelligence about you and it seems I was right!

[He's not exactly the best at guessing professions. The whole thing where he failed to properly recognize a ninja while she was crawling on the walls is best not spoken of.]
randallboggs: (Huh?)

Re: A

[personal profile] randallboggs 2014-07-31 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Brought here? Who brought me here?

[This was only becoming more confusing to him.]
tactilelearner: (Default)

[personal profile] tactilelearner 2014-07-31 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn' say scholar.

[That's Jean. Or Kitty. Not that she doesn't like school or doesn't consider herself smart, but... Those are the two who are really good at academics.]

Where I'm from, pretty much everyone goes t' school 'til they're eighteen. Most keep goin' after that.
alovingheart: (• trying)

[personal profile] alovingheart 2014-07-31 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you'll find many people like that here. At least, I hope you won't... My crew is full of really nice people, at least?

The only thing bad I've really heard about any of the crews is one lady who, uhm, set an island on fire. More than once. But that's it. [Not that that's not a big thing in and of itself. It certainly makes Anna upset.]
tactilelearner: (Thinking)

[personal profile] tactilelearner 2014-07-31 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...Someone settin' islands on fire?

[Now that. That sounds like something that needs to be taken care of. But she's alone here. So, well.]

Have t' avoid that one, then.

Karai | TMNT 2012

[personal profile] kabutos_claim 2014-08-01 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
A - Just Arrived

[Maybe if she'd been wearing her casual clothes, Karai would be walking around... casually. But not only is she in her armor, given where she was yanked from, but the people around here are dressed like they're in a Medieval Times restaurant. What gives?

For now, she's keeping to the shades, and occasionally jumping from one rooftop to the next. Any good ninja knows how to survey without being seen... but then, she hasn't always been 'good'.
]

B - Treasure

[Actual treasure? She won't lie, this is pretty cool. She digs her hands through the coins and jewelry, lifting it up to see it sparkling in the light. This stuff can and will come in handy...

... So she'll hide as much as it for herself as she can, before the crewmates come along. A few she hides in her small sack, as an obvious decoy, and she begins sliding some small pieces down her clothes. Just one problem so far-
]

Ah! C-Cold! Cold gold!
lazyjustice: (sneeze)

B

[personal profile] lazyjustice 2014-08-01 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Imagine that. [he's not so much lurking in the darkness as lounging. It's too bright and noisy outside. Besides which, he happened to be exploring and got a little lost. Good a time to take a nap as any he supposed]

That seems an inefficient way to hide treasure.
kabutos_claim: (I Wanna Taste You)

[personal profile] kabutos_claim 2014-08-01 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[If she wasn't from a PG cartoon, she might be swearing. Instead, her cheeks turn as red as eye-makeup, and she begins taking each piece out. She refuses to make eye-contact with him.]

Can you blame me for trying?
lazyjustice: (now)

[personal profile] lazyjustice 2014-08-01 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Maa well you don't have to go to that extreme. [holds out a hand. Young people are so hasty these days] It's not my treasure. I don't think it's anyone's treasure.

. . . Maybe his. [gestures to a skeleton in the corner]
kabutos_claim: (Your Blood Like Ice)

[personal profile] kabutos_claim 2014-08-01 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks at his hand, then raises an eyebrow.]

You're really not going to try and take it?
