Test Drive for November 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?

For me, yeah.

[he's rather droll and matter-of-fact about such a monumental revelation]

This world is a little fucked up. Best to just get used to it and move on like nothing's wrong.

[trafalgar]

[Dealing with fucked up stuff, he can deal with it. He's already used to that noise. Being totally sidetracked from what he was doing? Planning?

Ain't nobody got time for this. Why are the Strawhats so?! Casual about everything. Being with them for as long as he has, he still doesn't know.]

That isn't going to work, I have a few things to take care of.

[yourotherleft]

Put 'em on the back shelf. There's no way to deal with them here. Luffy's been back and forth and said no time passes at home while we're here.

[even if telling Law not to worry is probably an impossible task]

Bepo'll be happy to see you.

[trafalgar]

Back and forth?

[He's not aware of this being a separate...land entirely from what they're used to. This is gonna be a long day. FURTHERMORE...]

What does Bepo have to do with this?

[yourotherleft]

To our world, and then back here.

[aw man is he going to have to use smaller words? Zoro sets his drink down on the nearest table and gestures]

We belong over there. But we're here. Sometimes people get sent home and sometimes they come back. Luffy went and came back, Nami went and didn't come back. Make sense?

Bepo's here. Been sailing with us since...man, I don't remember when. All along, I think.

[trafalgar]

[That's such a dramatic way of wording it, initially. He's definitely taking his words with a grain of salt. This is the Bad Directions Guy after all.]

..."Us", [The simplest things are VERY DIFFICULT TO GRASP right now. Easy to comprehend what's being said, not so easy to apply to these actual circumstances. Logic.] you're saying Bepo's been spending time with Mugiwara-ya's crew.

[Except he hasn't been, because he'd just been sailing with them and Bepo was definitely not part of his mission.]

It isn't safe to eat at this inn.

[In conclusion, mm.]

[yourotherleft]

That's right.

[he sips at his drink again. The booze is good, so why would he...oh. Right, Mr. Cryptic over here.]

Wasn't planning to have dinner here. You're welcome to join me on the ship instead.

[trafalgar]

[Assuming this is legit and not an elaborate joke or something similarly idiotic...Bepo needs a hero asap.]

If you're cooking with ingredients from this town, [And by you're he means black leg.] it won't make a difference.

[yourotherleft]

Why's that? Though if you've got a problem you'll have to take it up with the cook.

[he genuinely doesn't know where Sanji does his grocery shopping, unless he's playing pack mule]
