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!

[ Oh, good. Someone who seems to know their way around... wherever they are. ]

Oh. So there is a dock.

[ With that information gained, he moves closer to Harlock. Closer than what most personal space bubbles would allow. ]

Listen, mate. [ He gives Harlock a searing look before continuing on. ] ...You ever seen a ship called the Black Pearl.

[arcadiasailor]

[He takes a step back. He couldn't really tell if the man was drunk, eccentric or both]

Didn't you come here on a ship? Or [pause] Your not a local are you?
Can't say I heard of the Black Pearl. Not everyone is very forthcoming with information around here.

[bottlearum]

[ Jack lets Harlock take a step back, regarding him carefully. ]

Course I ain't a local. [ There aren't any locals to Davy Jones' Locker. ] Nor did I arrive here by ship. Just woke up here, I did.

Black ship? Black sails? Nigh uncatchable?

[ Come on, give him something! ]

[arcadiasailor]

[Oh another 18 century person like Barbossa then. Which means they were just the first wave. With how unprepared most of them where, he shouldn't be so surprised. He sighs. Then mutters.]
You blend in well.
[This would be simple to explain if it were night, most things people had to see for themselves.]
She sounds impressive but she's not likely here. Wherever you think you should be this isn't it. Isla Empieza isn't even on Earth.

[bottlearum]

Isla Empireza.

[ Jack repeats the name of this place, rolling it over his tongue, weighing the familiarity of it and coming up with nothing, giving a little shake of his head. He's never heard of such an island before.

His eyes narrow at Harlock's next statement. ]

Not on Earth? [ Well, that's just ridiculous. ] If we ain't on Earth, where are we, eh?

[arcadiasailor]

[He doesn't blame the man for his confusion or for the way the man's eyes narrow like he doesn't quite believe him.]

Some of us are still wondering that, the stars are unfamiliar to everyone. The rest are to preoccupied with the crazy story in hopes it will get them home.
[He sighs. Stupid story really, he was more interested in the sailing than treasure.]
If you ask me we've been brought here because some creature is to lazy to go on a wild goose chase itself.
