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!

[ The teddy bear does warrant a second glance. But he's quick to shake it off because, more than anything else, it just confirms to him that the man before him truly is Joshamee Gibbs.

But he couldn't be happy to see Gibbs. Oh no. If anything, he narrows his eyes. ]

As I thought. I hope your actions for ending up here were naught but your own, then.

[ Here not being here here, but more where he thinks here is. ]

[superstitiouspirate]

[He was always happy to see Jack, even if the man was looking rather unhappy at the moment.]

Where is here? The last I recall I was aboard the Pearl and then I awoke to find meself here by this fountain.

[He nods to the fountain, noticing for the first time that there are words written on it. Screwing up his face, he squints at it trying to read them, but given his current hangover, the letter sort of swim around and he just gives up.]

[bottlearum]

[ Jack practically ignores the question of "Where is here?" Because, honestly, that should be fairly obvious, shouldn't it?

No no, what really grabs Jack's attention, is mention of the Pearl. ]

Aboard the Pearl, you say? [ He moves even closer. ] Do you have any idea where my ship might be, then?

[ Spoiler alert: It's not here. Jack is less than pleased. ]

[superstitiouspirate]

[Gibbs can see that Jack is clearly upset, so he gives up trying to discover where here is for now. Chances are he'll find out soon enough anyway.]

If shes not here, then I don't know where she could be. I only just woke up here meself.

[bottlearum]

[ Nope, sorry Gibbs, that wasn't the correct answer.

Jack narrows his eyes even further. Because things aren't adding up and Jack is suspicious of it. He raises his index finger as he begins to speak. ]

You couldn't have just been on the Pearl. Do you know why?

[ Well, he's going to tell you why. Without bothering to wait for an answer, Jack answers his own question. ]

Because the Pearl was s'pposed to be here. [ And by here, Jack waves his arms around him. Here, Jack means where he is now. ] With me. In the Locker.

An' if you were just on the Pearl, you must know where she is. So tell me, Mr. Gibbs. Where is my ship?

[superstitiouspirate]

[ Well now this is a pickle, since Gibbs distinctly remembers rescuing you from said Locker not too long ago.]

But Jack we got you and the Pearl out of the Locker. [It had been quite the adventure too having to flip the ship.]

We were docked at Tortuga for that matter as well.

[bottlearum]

[ Gibbs, you are talking nonsense. You might have seen strange looks from Jack Sparrow before, but this one is probably one of his strangest. ]

No, we're not, mate. This be the Locker. Left me to me demise, you did.

[ He's not mad about it. It's spoken more matter-of-factly than anything else. He's trying to make a point, here. ]

[superstitiouspirate]

[Gibbs is becoming rather confused by this, as he distinctly remembers freeing Jack the first time. Bloody challenge that had been.]

If this be the locker, then this is the second time we're here.

[bottlearum]

I've only died once, mate. [ Well, unless you count that time when he was dying when the Pearl Wicked Wench went up in flames. Jack points both index fingers at the ground. ] This time.

[ But then he stops and considers Gibbs for a long moment. ] Unless you've died twice and neglected to inform me of such things. [ Which, unlikely. ]
