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?

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]

...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.

[alovingheart]

[ ooc: idk if you want to continue with this or not since you've already apped and it won't count in-game. but seriously, when/if she gets in (I'm sure she will), I'd love to have cr with her! and I don't mind continuing this here for a while, either. ]

Yeah, I haven't actually met her yet. [She's glad of that fact, actually. Someone who sets fire to an island just because someone tells her not to, doesn't sound like someone she wants to meet.] The other people on her crew aren't bad, though, not really.

[tactilelearner]

(ooc: I am totally down with continuing this! But yes. If I get Rogue in (hoping very much!), she and Anna obviously need CR.)

Sounds sorta like the Brotherhood. [A pause.] A group of mutants. Tend t' cause trouble, but some of 'em aren't too bad on their own.

[alovingheart]

Oh. Yeah that sounds pretty similar. Uhm, are those mutants in your school too? The ones who cause trouble?

[tactilelearner]

They aren' parta the Institute. Always welcome t' join us, but they don'. The professor thinks they will. Eventually.

[alovingheart]

That would be nice. I mean, I bet it would help... Or maybe they'll show up here! Though... I'm not sure that would help much. With the whole tendency to cause trouble thing. Pirates do tend to cause a lot of trouble. Even the ones that aren't setting islands on fire.

[tactilelearner]

I ran with 'em for awhile... [Really, thinking about it... Lance wouldn't be too bad. Wanda would be useful. Pietro... No. Blob? Maybe or maybe not.] Wouldn' be too disappointed t' see some of 'em. Might be able t' whip 'em into shape.

[alovingheart]

I'd hope so. And at least they'd have powers that would help keep them safe too, I'd think. I don't really have any fighting skills... I plan on trying to learn some, though! I mean, not magic or powers or anything like that, obviously, but... Maybe just using my hands and feet... I really think sword-fighting would be fun, though!

[tactilelearner]

I picked up a bit of sword-fighting. [By grabbing a naval officer who refused to leave her crew alone, but... details. Some things don't need to be shared.] Maybe I can help you learn.
