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!

Hard to find that bit out here. [he scratches his chin] Though I've seen my share of angels, they're not exactly religious. But I guess you'll be a fair hand at keeping zombies away.

[awhitecrow]

...Zombies, sir?

[thatched]

Aye. They're rare but you get them from time to time. Cursed islands and what-not. Though sometimes they're merely old men with bad wounds, but you can't be too careful.

[awhitecrow]

I'm sorry, sir, but... What is a zombie?

[thatched]

[didn't know what a zombie was? Poor sheltered kid]

The undead, lad. Animated corpses with parts falling off of them. Usually pretty cranky.

[awhitecrow]

Demons. [The term "zombie" is not one that has reached his part of the world yet.] You.. think I can be of use against demons, sir?

[thatched]

[demons? Well if he says so]

That's what religious types do, isn't it? With crosses and garlic and chants and whatnot. [he usually prefers a right hook himself but...]

[awhitecrow]

A-- a cross can ward off evil, yes. It is a sign of God. [Chants... Well, he could be referring to the prayers. But what good could garlic do?]

[thatched]

See? You know your stuff --so I'll leave it in your capable hands.

[awhitecrow]

I-- I'm not sure that's... Yes, sir.
