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?

[kabutos_claim]

[WHYYY SO SOCIABLE.]

Money is power, simple enough.

[lazyjustice]

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

[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?]
