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!

Outnumbered? From the look of it, I'd say they've got about 3 men to every 1 of us.

[Akira normally didn't like pointless battles, but this was a different story. He was tired, he was angry, and he was homesick. He didn't want to be in this world, and these guys were going to take the brunt of his frustration. His knuckles cracked as he flexed them, eyes burning gold.]

Too bad. They should have brought more. This is the worst night of the month to start shit with me.

[redsea]

I couldn't agree more. These monsters will pay...

[ Kougyoku likes his answer, but this man looks frightening. If he was her enemy, she would be trembling a little without her metal vessel on hand. She's glad that he is on her side.

She prepares to draw her sword out of its sheath. ]

Well, do you want to draw the first blood or shall I?

[alwaysgrumpy]

Sure. Back up a bit, will you?

[Akira strips off his shirt and loosens up his belt to account for what's to come. His body immediately starts to shift. It happens quickly, almost too smooth. In a matter of moments, an eight-foot-tall wolfen beast is in Akira's place.]

I guess I'll take care of the big guys, first.

[redsea]

S-sir Akira, that's—!

[ She's a sheltered princess from ancient fantasy China. Of course she'd be scandalized if a man suddenly took his shirt off in front of her, and even more if he turned into a beast! She does step back out of shock and fear, but it also brings her defenses down for a moment since she also covers her face with her sleeve. This is just one of the things she has to get used to. ]

I'll leave them to you. If only I had my metal vessel, then I could fight alongside you...

[ You know, like comrades do! But that only strengthens her resolve to get it back. She puts her game face back on as she brandishes her weapon. ]

I'll come back with it as soon as I can! I promise!

[alwaysgrumpy]

You got a bead on where it is?

[He charges several of the larger men while they're still surprised, taking one down with a kick that instantly knocks one out. The other defends with a large scimitar, which Akira is easily able to dodge blows from. He waits for the right moment and counters with an uppercut.]

I can probably get you there faster than your legs.
