Test Drive for August 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?

[lazyjustice]

No. You're welcome to it. [he's not really the treasure gathering type]

[kabutos_claim]

...

[Clearly hesitating. How could you NOT want it? Her fingers tighten on the gold pieces.]

How do I know this isn't a trap, and you'll rat me out?

[lazyjustice]

If I wanted to trap you I would have. [the temperature drops even further as ice slips casually over his hand and films along the floor underneath him and the wall behind him] Really, you should just chill.

[kabutos_claim]

[hahaha, funny. Never trust a mutant. As the temperature falls, hr pulse rises, unable to trust him especially after a display like that. Annoyed, she tosses the remains back into the chest.]

Forget it. It's not worth the trouble. And it scratched, anyway.

[lazyjustice]

Suit yourself. [his skin turns back to normal but the ice on the wall and floor remains] Ahh, well if you've changed your mind, I hope you don't mind if I follow you out.

[he was getting a bit peckish]

[kabutos_claim]

[Uuuugh. Why so sociable. She turns away, starting to walk off.]

Do what you want.

[lazyjustice]

Appreciate it. [though as he walks out he has to bend nearly double not to bang his head on a low door. Well--low for him anyway] Are you broke and adrift or just looking to get rich?

[ Stealth was never really her strong suit. But sometimes, it did pay to wear black all the time. It was by accident that she came across the ninja just as she was stuffing her clothes full of gold. Silly girl. ]

Why bother hiding it? It's not like we'll mind if you want to keep a portion to yourself.

[kabutos_claim]

[Dang it. She freezes up, not turning around.]

... Sharing's not my strong suit.

[kabutos_claim]

[WHYYY SO SOCIABLE.]

Money is power, simple enough.

[lazyjustice]

Power is power. Money is a means to an end.

[ Well maybe not lost. For some reason that was unknown to him. The turtle found himself on the business end of Tartle Island. A turtle on a turtle, there's humor in there somewhere. But he did manage to befriend a Poot, so that's a plus ]

So uhh...I dunno if this is some sick joke. But could someone get me out of here before this thing dives. I'm not in the mood for a bath right now and being a turtle riding a turtle, it just doesn't feel right man. [ insert baby poot noises. ] Oh yeah! If you take me, you gotta take Lil Raphie too.

[kabutos_claim]

[She gives a snort at that.]

Someones the end is power, too. You think those Navy pigheads got where they were by living in the slums?

[Guess who doesn't know she's speaking to a Navy officer?]

[anelegantmyth]

Just like smiling isn't Raph's, but we love him anyway.

[ The champion walks out from behind the shadows to take a seat on one of the near by rocks. Don't worry, she doesn't look mad. ]

Listen kid, we hazmats stick together, and sharing kind of comes with the package. I'm not saying you can't hide some for your own personal use. But you don't really need to be sneaky about it either.

[kabutos_claim]

[She rolls her eyes when she thinks Cynthia isn't looking.]

Maybe "Raph" hasn't exactly explained all the good little details about me. I'm only on this crew because you guys are the strongest. I'm not here to make friends.

[anelegantmyth]

Well dear, if you put those knives away for once in your life, maybe you'd realize that being friends with your crewmates isn't that bad. The turtles might be a little bothered, but I could care less what you've done in the past.

[kabutos_claim]

Oh, really?

[She almost laughs. Some leader. Cynthia's too naive for her own good.]

Well, you caught me, either way. No point in hiding it anymore.

[She begins dropping the coins and jewels back into the chest.]

You wouldn't make a bad ninja yourself. I didn't hear a single footstep.

[anelegantmyth]

You learn a few things when you travel a lot. Being quiet while wearing high heels is one of them..

[ She taps the tip of her boot against a rock. ]

You make that noise in my world, and suddenly you're wild pokemon bait. But since I don't know "all the good little details" about you. Take a seat. Let's talk.

[kabutos_claim]

[That... actually might be worse than being caught. She closes the chest to sit on it.]

An interrogation, or is this a tea part?

[anelegantmyth]

Sweetheart, I would love to turn this into a tea party. But it seems I left my tea and cups back on the boat. Oh well. But there's no need to worry, I'm not interrogating you. If I was, I'd bring out my dragon and do the whole good cop bag dragon shtick.

So, what's your story?

[kabutos_claim]

[If only she could steal that dragon, but she's not that dumb. But there's no way she's telling Cynthia everything.]

What have the turtles told you?

[anelegantmyth]

I'd like to hear your side before I tell you what they've said.

[kabutos_claim]

[Dang. She can't twist their words if she doesn't know what their words are.]

I'll go for the short version. Last time I was home, I was helping my father look for my mother's murderer.

[And it's the truth. Sorta.]

[anelegantmyth]

Ok, and how did that go?

[kabutos_claim]

It's still going. We're trying to find him, and so far we've only narrowed it down to one city... And it's a big city.
