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!

Mm, yeah, you're right...

[The path begins to turn and when Ven rounds the corner he almost immediately cheers up.]

Paulie! Paulie, there's a village up here!

[ropeguy]

Yeah?

[Well, there's potentially good news. So long as they don't do anything monumentally stupid! His spirits slightly lifted, he can't help a little more teasing]

Maybe it'll be a village of dinosaur people.

[taketwoadults]

[OH MY GOD. HE DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT!!!!

Ven stops in his tracks, turning to look at Paulie over his shoulder with the most excited, expectant grin on his face.]

That would be so cool!

[ropeguy]

[Sigh. Ven, you are so gullible]

Don't be an idiot! Do you really think there'd be a village of dino-

[And Paulie stops in his tracks. During his tirade, he couldn't help but notice some of the villagers milling about the streets, and maybe it's a trick of the light but those people look awfully lizard-like, and... are those tails? With spikes?]

[taketwoadults]

[Ven stops right along side him.]

They're dinosaur people!!

[ropeguy]

[Okay. He can do this. It's not like he's never dealt with other species before - there's been mer-people and... well, mer-people. But that's not the point! It's nothing he can't handle, and he quickly tries to regain his composure by stomping out the cigar that had fallen from his mouth and lighting another one to take it's place]

Yeah... looks that way. Just don't stare, it's impolite.

[taketwoadults]

[Paulie, he stopped listening to you like ten seconds ago. As soon as he looks up, he'll see that Ven has already started dashing his way to the village to meet the locals!]

[ropeguy]

Kid!

... tch, he better not tick off the locals, or he'll get his wish of fighting dinosaurs.

[And with a sigh he begins to follow after, figuring he shouldn't let Ven get too far out of his sights]

[taketwoadults]

[By the time Paulie has caught with him, Ven has already introduced himself to a rather bewildered(?) looking dinosaur person. Maybe he was just taken aback by how energetic Ven was...?

Either way, Ven eagerly waves Paulie over once he spots him.]

This nice dinosaur man said they have a place for us to stay tonight!

[ropeguy]

[Ven, you are going to get talked to later about etiquette. For now, he just nods]

Alright, great. And did you get a chance to ask about the fruit?

[taketwoadults]

Mm! They eat them all the time! He said he's not positive if it would be safe for, um... human people like us.
