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?

High Inquisitor Darklaw | Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

[darklaw]

a. pirate attack

[Darklaw can be found standing on the bridge, her eyes narrowing as the enemy ship that was but a spot on the horizon not too long ago keeps growing larger and larger by any second now. The High Inquisitor may not have been in this world for a long time, but there is little doubt in her mind about the intentions of the other crew.]

... It would appear negotiations are out of question.

[The woman turns around, her long cape fluttering in the strong wind as she gestures to the others on board.]

To your posts, men! It is time for us to prove the superior strength of our crew!

[Hey, a little dramatics has never killed anyone, right?]

b. exploring an island

[At the first glance, it seemed like this new island they have stumbled upon was inhabited. That was before Darklaw decided to investigate the edge of the forest; after all, as a Knight of Inquisition, she's fairly accustomed to this type of work, even if it's usually done on the crime scene instead. While doing so, she discovered a wire that was certainly a part of some snare, as well as a set of footprints, both of which suggest there's someone else on the island. As such, the High Inquisitor turns to her comrades to share what she found out.]

It seems we are not alone here. Stay on your guard.

[It has yet to be determined whether the natives will turn out to be hostile or not, but better safe than sorry.]

c. day at sea

[It's a nice day out, but Darklaw chooses to spend it in the crew quarters, relaxing while reading a book. Judging by the title, it tells stories of the famous pirates of this world... so along with taking it easy comes doing the research. Is this woman familiar with the word "break"? Apparently no.

Care to join her for a chat?]


[ooc: Since the game has yet to be released in the US, I will be avoiding major story spoilers in my tags!]

Are negotiations around here EVER successful? That'd be a first. That's what happens when people get blinded by money or duty.

[Gene takes a moment to assess the situation, looking through binoculars at the other ship.]

I'd say they're almost in range. We need to get our side pointed at them.
