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?

Yasaburo smells the stink of singed fur in his nostrils and evaluates his options. He could run. He's pretty fast on his paws. But he's an even faster talker. And he has to admit he wants to know what kind of person can do that kind of thing here. He poofs into his natural state and stands on his hind legs, a move designed to show how harmless he is.

"Hey now, there's no need for prejudice. We tanuki are humble friends of humans."

A few things were working to the lad's disadvantage. One, that Tojiko was from the Asuka period. The alliance post-dated her. Secondly, her religion was very much anti-youkai regardless of that position. And thirdly, a tanuki happened to be one of her faction's enemy's allies.

"Such a treaty is no doubt forged in trickery, as is the way of your kind, rodent." So yeah. A lot of factors working against him.

Rodent?! He bristled internally. The classification of his species was quite clear! Which was the kind of thing his brother would say, getting him electrocuted in the process. Well, time to go on the passive-offensive.

"So I guess you're gonna eat me now, huh?"
yatteyanyo: (we have to work?)

"Why would I eat a youkai?" That... threw her off pretty spectacularly.

"Well, where I'm from..." and he poofs back into his human disguise, speaking of. "...it's humans that eat tanuki, not the other way around." He's so not above using that to gain sympathy points.

"Disgusting... and also risky. Do they not fear curses that would come from it? Humanity in your region must have gone completely daft." Tojiko shook her head.

"No, I am not going to eat you. I just plan on exterminating you."
buttwarmed: (worry/It said not eat it but...)

"Wouldn't know how to make a cu-" Yeep! Well that's as clear a signal of intentions as possible. He poofs again, form of: a mouse! And he'll try to skitter off as fast as his little legs will take him.
yatteyanyo: (thunderstruck)

Tojiko paused a moment, letting the critter get a head start with a smirk on her face, before cracking her knuckles and sending out another bolt, one that arc'd clear into the sky before striking down right before him.

"I feel you need a reminder that you can't outrun lightning!"

Another squeak and Yasaburo took a hard left into an alley. Soon he was a cobblestone.
