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 true... Given that the vast majority aren't Adepts, a system that anyone can use makes the most sense, even if it's more difficult overall. Admittedly, this does not stop him from wishing it was less difficult, but it's somehow reassuring that even Piers isn't an expert.]

It's all right. My hands could use some toughening up, anyway.

[They're not as soft as they used to be - when he'd first set out, he'd gotten blisters just from using a sword. But he doesn't have sailor hands by any means.]

WE'LL SURVIVE

[Sorry, Ivan. Your hands are saying more than you are. Piers smiled gently, understanding the difficulties in adapting far too well. Strange as it was, Piers was becoming something of an expert at adapting.]

You're hands will toughen up in time. It's no reason to rush right now. You've many other skills that will be helpful around here, after all.

no, this is a bug hunt, game over man, game over!!

[CUE THE EMBARRASSED LAUGH.] Ahaha... you think so, Piers?

[Understanding and accepting compliments are, needless to say, not among his skills.]
