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!

it's that thug seme life

[ Nagisa isn't laughing, but he's got a giant shit-eating grin plastered to his face while Rei flusters that isn't much better than if he were laughing. ]

It's okay, Rei-chan. You're forgiven for not worrying about me as much as you should have. [ But wait, alone at sea? ] Huh? Why would I be alone at sea? I know how to swim in the ocean.

[worksintheory]

This ocean isn't like the one back home. Or you could've ended up on some cannibal island or something. [shivers slightly, giving himself the creeps just by talking about it]

All that matters is that you're here now, and we do not have to worry anymore because we all have each other, right? [That's right Rei, stay positive...]

[skinnydipping]

Is there such thing as a cannibal island? That sounds kind of cool! [ As long as he only had to be there for a short period of time, anyway. ] Ah, but if I had ended up there you would have come to save me before they could eat me, right?

[ Nagisa doesn't wait for Rei to answer. Instead, he grabs the bag of ginger to inspect its contents. ] Why did you buy so much ginger? Do you have some sort of ginger fetish?

You're killing me.

[worksintheory]

[Bristles, his hair standing on end now. He could swear a cold breeze just came through from the thought of having to go to a cannibal island at all, let alone Nagisa being there]

What?! I do not!! Ginger helps settle the stomach for those of us who get motion sick. We can't all eat sweet melon bread and pocky sticks to make us feel better.

Mwahahaha

[skinnydipping]

[ Don't worry Rei, if you guys were ever on a cannibal island together, Nagisa probably wouldn't leave you behind to be eaten by the cannibals. ]

That's lame! [ Both the using ginger to help motion sickness part and the suffering from motion sickness part, but he's mostly talking about the ginger part for now. ] Of course you can use melon bread and pocky sticks to make you feel better! Sweet things are the best cure for everything! Besides, ginger doesn't taste as good.

[worksintheory]

[Probably.]

Ginger tea tastes just fine, and that kind of food isn't nutritious for anyone. Especially as a swimmer, you should be eating plenty of complex carbohydrates and lean protein. [Reaches to take back his precious bag of ginger]

Should we meet up with the others?

[skinnydipping]

You say that, but I know how to swim better than you. Maybe if you start eating more melon bread and pocky you'll be able to swim something other than butterfly!

[ Nagisa lets Rei take his bag back with little protest because only lame people like him actually want ginger. ]

Mm, yeah! I haven't seen Mako-chan or Haru-chan since I got here! [ Which, admittedly, wasn't that long ago, but considering how much time they're usually spending with each other, it's been long enough. ]

[worksintheory]

You say that as if there is something wrong with butterfly! It is a beautiful stroke, and gets me where I need to go.

[Hmphs a little, starting to march himself down the road.]
