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?

Edward's smile drops at her scowl, so much for pleasantries to a stranger. "No need to be sour about helping someone out, lass. What matter of bees gotten in to your bonnet?" He asks, eyebrow raising as he appraises her, crossbow and all.

"I've been kidnapped, dragged to a port I don't know, and my brother's missing," Gretel snapped. "The way I see it, you're either another sap in the same boat or part of the group that's responsible."

Her eyes stay narrow as she watches him. His appraisal is turned back on him, merciless. And her gaze? Says she finds him wanting.

[stolenrobes]

"I'm not much of one for kidnapping, too much fuss for too little payoff I've found." He shrugs, "Can't say I blame him for leaving you behind here though, but if you're pressed to find him I can help you look here. I've an eye for spotting those I'm looking for."

There's worse things than some girl not seeing him as a threat, plenty don't until he's cutting through them on to the next man behind them.

"Hansel didn't leave me." It's almost growled, a warning for him to watch what he says. Because she won't tolerate a repeat of that without throwing her best punch. At the very least. Not that he probably thinks she knows how to use her crossbow. Most men don't until she proves it.

But... Her expression falters just a little. "I need to find him, though. He might be sick."

[stolenrobes]

He raises his hands at her anger, "I'm just saying that you wouldn't be the first sister left at port when a ships sails before dawn. Though if he's not then he'll be a bit easier to find, and I'm sure the harbor master has a log of crews that've sailed out of here."

Whether they were accurate or not was anyone's guess.

"He got a name, your brother? And I can't be calling you 'lass' the while time either."

[haventkilledusyet]

"If a crew's got him, he isn't with them willingly. Which means I need to find them. I have a bolt for each of their throats." Because if anyone's kidnapped her brother and is keeping him away from her? They're going to die. It's just that simple.

"His name's Hansel. I'm Gretel."

[stolenrobes]

"You don't know that, there's reason enough for a lad to take to the seas without being press ganged in to it."

If it's anyone he knows and likes then he'll have to stop her from killing them, otherwise he won't do much to stop her. Even if he is beginning to think that really, her brother just wanted away from her.

"Edward Kenway, Catain of the Jackdaw wherever she's at. Now how about we take a look for that brother of yours? You tried the tavern yet?"
