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?

So you just found yourself here? I suppose you're lucky to be saved having to ask how to get here.

[She wasn't so lucky, though when she arrived she couldn't really go to the fountain either because of the witch that was there trying to trap people. Elsa shakes her head, both to dispel the memory and to answer his question.]

So far, the only clue we have for how to leave this place is that scripture and the legend of the gem that grants wishes. People assume that if we gather the shards and complete the gem we will be able to wish to return home. Other than that, it depends on luck, some people have vanished from here just the same way they arrived.

[She gives him an apologetic smile.]

It probably sounded confusing, right? I guess I should start by saying that, whether you believe it or not, this island isn't anywhere in your world.

[Actually delving into his pockets provides more clarity. It's surprisng -- though she may have just mentioned something about journals, he couldn't recall ever having one on his person...or being given one. Looking for logic in all the wrong places, take 200.]

You have a strange concept of luck.

[That's all he's got, all things considered. She seems understanding enough..that he's not meant to be here and the confusion ought to be palpable. Either way, he's attentive...save for a few dubious looks directed at the statue.

...So they've all been brought her due to some guys laziness? He's got no interest in collecting gems, not outright. He could list ten urgent things on his fingers that require attention asap; this would make a good subquest (or subplot) but what the heck, man.]

Isn't anywhere I should be familiar with, you mean. There isn't a compass that points to Dressrosa?
