Test Drive for October 2013 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!

Option A

[Ikki isn't one to panic, which compared to people who do may make him seem unconcerned but that would be wrong. He looks at the horizon for a moment, studying the storm that is approaching them, maybe if he had more experience he would be able to know what to do, but as it is he still doesn't have enough experience.]

Think we can avoid that if we change directions?

[thatched]

Doubt it. Not with a front that big. [he puts an idle hand on the steering post, squinting at the oncoming waves]

We'll have to ride it out. [a glance] You can swim, can't you?

[uccellodifuoco]

Yes, I may be a phoenix but I'm not one with troubles with water.

[Unlike other phoenixes them both know about.]

So when you say "ride it out" you mean on the boat or by swimming through it?

[thatched]

On the boat I hope. If we try to swim through it, we'll probably both drown. [which would give them a chance to give a kick to the seat of the pants of that Davey Jones guy anyway]

You know your way around a sail?

[uccellodifuoco]

That would be slightly annoying, I don't feel like getting to know this place's hell just yet.

[If he was more optimistic he would even consider that he may not be able to revive if he dies here, but he really doubts he would be that lucky.]

Enough to not guarantee that we will sink. I'm good with orders for whatever I'm missing.
