Test Drive for October 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?

[Gleam, gleam! A doe-eyed young girl blinks up at the wrinkled mummy??? Yzma, cooing:]

Hello, ma'am! Would you like to buy a box of Calico Cookies? So good and cheap, it's almost a steal!

[yzma_baby]

[ehyuh. What is that thing? Take it away. She's had enough of doe-eyed, thank you. Do you know how many babies Empresses are expected to kiss? Her lips are still chapped from the salt of their tears as they struggled to get away from her. Worthless brats]

Do I look like I'm made of money? Just what's so good about these cookies anyway?

[hoodwinking]

[She could say the same thing. She normally didn't make it a habit to swindle old ladies; it made her sad! But then again, someone this old-looking can't be poor. They'd have died off ages ago!]

Glad you asked! They're full of enough sunshine and sugar that it'll keep you alive for years and years to come! Look at how alive I am right now!

[And she flutters her eyes open and shut, to accentuate her claim!]

[yzma_baby]

A little too alive if you ask me.

[she puts her hands on what constitutes her hips]

As you can see I've not only retained my stunning beauty but also a figure to die for. What can those cookies offer me that I haven't got already?

[hoodwinking]

["Yeah, same to you," she thinks. Ugh, witch.]

Weeeell, you see, I don't know if you know much about sailing, but snacks can be hard to come by! You could be at your final gasp of breath-- as tough as that is to imagine-- and you before you go, you'd be thinking: "If only I had cookies for sustenance".

See? It really does give you life! [/LOGIC]

[yzma_baby]

I think I'd rather go without. But I like your hardline selling. I have to admit it has a certain appeal. Have you ever considered the life of a theme song guy? [because if she can sell those disgusting cookies she can certainly sell Yzma]

[hoodwinking]

I do like singing, but this is just something I do on the side. A girl's gotta make money somehow! And what better way to do that than to market herself and her goods? [this is taking forever, but luckily! she's already formulating plan b...]

[yzma_baby]

Well I'm not interested in either. Unless your cookies come with a side effect of revenge! Or unbridled power, which I seriously doubt. I really have no interest.

[hoodwinking]

[Hello, that's a new angle.]

Revenge? Oh no no, unfortunately, the cookies are 100% revenge free. On the ooother hand, depending on who you're plotting against, I specialize in vengeance!

[Or at least, she does now.]

[yzma_baby]

[it's certainly a new angle. This little frilly girl thing does have the potential to be quite useful--as well as potentially a minor thorn in Yzma's side in terms of competition...if her money is where her mouth is]

Do you? What do you do? Bat chipmunk brown eyes at them until they collapse in mortification?
