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!

... you think so?

I mean, I know that being a pirate will be dangerous, but how dangerous do you think it'll be? ((She looks a little too excited for the words she's saying.))

[they_call_me_sonic]

If it's like anything I've been in, it's gonna be plenty - but keep that as backup!

[he races off and comes back with a cutlass]

THIS is what you need.

...man, it's a good thing I had practice with swords or I'd probably be in this same boat!

[notpassedinsleep]

Whoa. That's, uh, a little big for me. I might take off my own hand with that.

I think I'll just start out with the knife, yeah?

[they_call_me_sonic]

Okay, can't beat that! [Granted, the weapon is as big as he is, so...]

Well, now that that's out of the way... Name's Sonic!

[notpassedinsleep]

Oh, right! I'm Leaf. ((She tips the brim of her hat up, then gives him a thumbs-up.)) Nice to meet you.

[they_call_me_sonic]

The same! Now the big question - where next?

[notpassedinsleep]

I... actually don't know.

I was planning on just hopping on whatever ship would let me on and letting it be a surprise.

[they_call_me_sonic]

[Now, that? That gets Sonic smiling.]

Just let the wind take ya where ya want, huh? I'm looking for a few people myself. I'm a guy who likes adventure and if you don't mind it, you're free to join me! This is one adventure having more people around is a good thing!
