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?

[He keeps up with her just fine, although her height is an interesting challenge. He can see why the adults always lost to her - not just that she's that good, but that they were too used to fighting people their size.]

All right, a hundred Marines, then! It's a lot different from fighting one-on-one you know.

[the longer this goes on, the more he feels like drawing a second blade.]

[ And it's still weird to Kuina, who's used to being a lot taller than Zoro.

But as for his question- ] You use their numbers against them! Make sure to move around so they're in each other's way. Use it to throw them off. [ Normally she'd throw in a remark about the absurdity of having to fight Marines, but then, she's technically a pirate now, isn't she?

She throws in a few feints now - she doesn't expect to catch Zoro completely off guard with them, but maybe throw off his reaction enough to get in at least one point. ]

[he can feel the momentum and knows which swings to parry and which to avoid. It really isn't fair.]

That's right. As long as you remember that in that situation, and don't lose your head when you see it coming at you for the first time.

[he's been so engrossed in just enjoying the spar that he hasn't even thought about taking a hit on her to score points. So, stalemate works fine too.]
