Test Drive for August 2014 Apps

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?

A: Abandoned Island; Journal Voice]

HELP!

[The cry was pitiable and desperate.]

I don't know what's going on and I can't find anyone. I... I don't want to die alone here.

[He starts to sniff, yes he is about to cry.]

[B: Town Square]

[Almaz can be found wandering around frantically near the fountain.]

Um... what's going on? I'm really confused.... especially by my title suddenly being Pirate Demon! It was bad enough when it was just a demons title, but now a pirate! I don't want to be a pirate! I'm a hero! A hero can't be a pirate!!!!!

A

[It certainly isn't the first time he's found himself in an unfamiliar place with little to no idea how one got there and in possession of a strange book, so Ringabel is taking this little abduction in stride. Carrying three books is getting to be a bit much, so his first order of business was to find a nice satchel for himself and chat up the girl in the shop for a while. Now, he's returned to the fountain plaza to see what he can find out about this little pickle he's found himself in. He's pretty sure this isn't where he wanted to go, but finding his way back to the nearest convenient glowing pillar of light isn't going to happen without a little information and perhaps a charming lady or two to travel with.

If you're a bewildered, lost little lamb staring at the fountain in confusion and shock, expect a flashily-dressed young man with excellent hair to stick his nose in your business and start up a conversation. If you're a lovely young lady, expect the tone to be more suave and flirtatious than you'd expect from someone so recently yanked through the fabric of reality.]

Good afternoon. Lovely weather we're having, isn't it? It looks like you and are in the same boat, so to speak.

B

[It's a balmy day on board the ship. There's not much to do, so Ringabel has his journal out and is spending his afternoon idly sketching away. If you look over his shoulder, you'll see rather charming pictures of most of the crew, which he's happy to show off. You may also catch a glimpse of a picture or two of a girl with a big black bow in her hair. It's up to you whether you want to take the risk of asking him about those.]

For shame! What kind of hero oozes such thin watery juices when squeezed in a waffle iron of adversity? Instead of collapsing like so much greasy dough, you should be baking to a rich and powerful golden brown!

S-Sensei!

[Now he's about to cry with joy.]

But... but I'm not quite sure what to do about the... waffle iron.

Hyahya, a waffle cannot do anything about a waffle iron! It is its fate to be pressed! Instead, you should worry about what kind of waffle you will become!

Oh, ouch! That's rough, buddy! Sorryyyy looks like you're not gonna be a hero until your next class change. [ She doesn't sound sorry at all. ]

As for what's going onnnn, I'm guessing you just showed up here? Because hey, me too! We can be total and complete newbies together! But I mean, this is pretty typical for the start of a game, don'tcha think? Fall out of the sky, completely new place, new class, maybe a level reset, that sorta thing.

But I don't want to be a waffle! I want to get back to civilization!

I can't change my class though!!!

But... I don't remember reincarnating, starting the game fresh should keep me where I was... level wise anyway.

Ah! But then, this is somewhere new....

HOW DID I END UP IN A DIFFERENT GAME!?

Could it be... is it possibly....!?

AM I A GUEST DLC CHARACTER OR SECRET BONUS ONE!?

[Oh his dreams, his dreams and false hopes.]

I haven't had a part like that since that SSP port.

So you no longer wish to be a hero, cooked spicy hot and fierce over the flames? Are you content to be a soggy noodle left clinging to the pot while your al dente companions are mixed with the sauce of triumph?!

Well, I'm the main character obviously, so I guess that makes you the "special preorder bonus" sidekick character.

Hm, you look kind of wimpy for that though. Is this really what sells nowadays? Where's the appeal? You're just going to be switched out of the party as soon as I have more party members you know.

(Prompt 1 - Town Square):

Tch. What a buncha' hassle this is. I can't get a decent signal anywhere.

[Gene probably looks like a damned crazy person to anyone from a place with no higher technology. He's currently wandering around the fountain, holding one hand to his ear as he tries to contact his ship.]

Guys? Yo, guys! It's me, Gene. Come get me, already! Seriously, the joke's over, enough with the marooning business.

(Prompt 2 - Lost at Sea):

[It seems that your latest fishing haul has pulled up a rather strange-looking catch. One that's about six feet tall, with red hair and a scarred cheek. He's still for a moment, before finally waking with a start, coughing up sea-water all over the deck.]

Ah! Shit! Damn it! I'm takin' on water, the ship's gonna'...gonna'...

[Then he realizes he most certainly is NOT going to die, and quickly hops to his feet. Time to play it cool.]

Ha ha ha! Once gain, the old Starwind luck pulls through! Just as I planned it. Granted, I no longer have a ship, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for something greater!

So, which one of you lucky people saved me, today?

(Prompt 3 - Chilling on Deck):

[Gene likes his weapons a LOT, which is why he's currently doing a meticulous cleaning of the components of his double-barreled blaster. Anyone from a more modern Earth might recognize that he's singing "Another One Bites the Dust" to himself.]

Stop blubberin'! What kinda man are ya?!

[SMH]

N-n-no! I WANT TO BE A HERO!

But I think I'm getting lost....

Wh-what!? I'm more useful than that!!! I'm part of the main cast in my game you know, I'm introduced in the first chapter and am the second playable character!

How can you be lost, when you are standing right where you are? You know exactly where you are! It is everything else that has gone missing. That is an important distinction!

One scared of starving to death on a deserted island!

Are you already making nautical jokes, pal? Really?

[Gene gives him a flat star, looking up from his current page. He's been flipping through pages and reading the various messages left by other displaced folks.]

And who are you supposed to be, some kind of host?

Either way... I need to be where everything else is.

You aren't gonna starve t'death. Look around you. There anythin' growin' on the trees? On the ground? Anything?

Then it seems you have both yourself and your goal. Does a hero need more ingredients than that?

Hmmmm.... Hmmmmmm....

Nope, I just don't see it. Are you sure you're not pulling my leg here? Although I guess you did mention that your original class is Hero...

.....All right, you can join my party for now. I'll see how it works out!

The name's Neptune, by the way, CPU of Planeptune!

I could use a ship, or some other means of transportation. Unless I'm suppose to swim.

Do you expect one to simply fall out of the sky at your wish? Do you sit and beg for meat, instead of going out and fighting a beast yourself to stock the pantry?

Ah... a pleasure to meet you. My name is Almaz von Almandine Adamat!

And I promise you won't regret it!

I'm not going to just eat something I picked off the ground!

Though... looking around, maybe I should clean up a bit. It seems messy.
