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?

Not exactly what she wanted to hear, even if it was right... "Be that as it may, that is my background. I lived that life for 19 years before my death... and then 1400 years I spent as a spirit awaiting the resurrection of my prince. From there, I had spent a brief year in Gensokyo working alongside Taishi-sama and Futo. And now Futo and I are here... without our prince. Thus we are seeking out the shards to rectify this crime."

Hester's eyes went a little wide. "You spent that long as a hungry ghost?" She laughed, harsh. "Didn't know you were an old lady too! So what're you gonna do when you get him?"

[yatteyanyo]

"... You could try to be a bit less insulting about it, you know," Tojiko huffed.

"Anyways, it's a 'her', actually. While Taishi-sama was presented to the public at large as a male official, the truth is that she was a woman, the most capable child of the Emperess. It was agreed that she would become the crown prince regardless of her gender."

Hester could try to do a number of things. Bathe more frequently, for instance. Not wear the same ratty trenchcoat for years on end until it has enough patches that there's no original fabric left. Solve problems in ways that don't involve stabbing. The likelihood of her doing any of those things without compelling reason to is near the number of fucks a honey badger gives though.

Still, that's interesting. And another thing she wants to know: "...What's it like coming back to life? Shrike never told me."

[yatteyanyo]

"... In all honesty, I barely remember dying. I had my life, and then my time as a ghost... And now I find myself in mortal form once more, though it was by my choice. When I was with Taishi-sama, I did not long for life, but here, parted from her... I suppose I gave in to temptation to be whole once more."
