Test Drive for April 2015 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!

♦ Arrr, here be buried treasure, but not all that glitters is gold! Will ye be telling your mateys what ye found, or keeping it for yourselves?

[Roxas nods with a grin.]

It unlocks anything!

[He vanishes the keyblade again and leans forward to peer closer.]

What's in there? Is it gold? Or a treasure map?

[melodiouspacifist]

It probably isn't that important.

[Not the least bit worried about it.]

Handy out here, so I don't die. Pretty useful. Water is my thing.

[vanitas_veci]

Nope.

[vanitas_veci]

"So, you've been here before?" Vanitas asked, cocking his head. Maybe this moron had some use after all.

[whitedragon_abs]

"Pretty much," Sting sighed and rolled onto the deck, taking deep, even breaths. "Probably wasn't just the crazies, some of the good captains have big personalities too."

[childofreim]

A treasure map wouldn't be in a treasure chest! That's what you use to find a treasure chest.

[Don't you read, Roxas? He's a little disappointed in you. To his credit, though, he just leaves it at a pointed remark and doesn't make a face. Instead, he starts carefully moving aside the old, musty packing material to try to see what's inside the box. He can already tell it's not gold coins because those are supposed to fill the box up to the top. It must be something else, but honestly, he's not sure what else gets put in treasure chests.]

It's all wrapped up.

[When he does unearth a parcel, it's wrapped tightly. Whatever it is, whoever packed it away wanted it secure and wanted to keep it from breaking. But why did they hide it away? Why go through so much effort to keep something safe and then bury it under the sand on a beach where who knows what could happen to it? He'd really like to ask.]

Should we unwrap it?

[alwaysgrumpy]

"Even so, you'd think that personal survival takes priority over pissing matches. Why are humans such absolute shitheads, most of the time?"

[alwaysgrumpy]

"I have," he said, "What's it to you?"

[whitedragon_abs]

"I wish I knew. Though, I can tell you Dragons are pretty much the same. Maybe it's an intelligence thing. The more intelligent the less common sense a species has."

[alwaysgrumpy]

"Yet somehow my ancestors managed to get along fine with nature," he shrugged, "Then again, we're all extinct, so maybe bein' an asshole pays off."

[vanitas_veci]

"Information. Who's this Davy Jones?"

[whitedragon_abs]

Sting gives a weak shrug. "Dragons are extinct too..." He looked at Akira. "I thought you didn't smell human. What are you?"

[alwaysgrumpy]

"Are you a dragon, then? Everyone knows werewolves have a human form, I didn't think Dragons had the same," he said, "As for me, I turn big and furry around Full Moon time."

[whitedragon_abs]

"Nah, adopted by one," Sting said. "But I have dragon qualities because Weisslogia, my father, taught me dragon magic." He opens his mouth and shows off his sharp canines. "Which is why my sense of smell's so good."

[alwaysgrumpy]

"Oh yeah?" he grinned, "I'll bet mine's better. Not that I have a way to prove that."

[whitedragon_abs]

A slight wind makes the boat rock even more. Sting clutches his stomach. "Ugh.. We should have a tracking contest."

[meatthefuture]

hahah sorry, sorry. [but he's grinning wider than ever because he's just so glad she is here! He missed her a lot]

Come on! I wanna show you the Merrily!

[and he grabs her hand, intent on racing out of the bar and into the wild blue day]

[alwaysgrumpy]

"I wouldn't mind that. Maybe a scavenger hunt on the ship or something. I'd kill to find ways to pass the time, beside fishing. It gets boring after a time."

[alwaysgrumpy]

Really? And you just so happen to end up on a world that mostly seems to BE water. How lucky could you be?

[alwaysgrumpy]

"Guy responsible, the head asshole in charge. Brings people here, probably the one who sends 'em back. Takes us without consent and tells us to play pirate. He wants these shards that are all over the seas," he said, "We're basically conscripts for him."

[whitedragon_abs]

"Not on the ship," Sting protested and rolled onto his side. "Unless Draco makes me a potion to combat my motion sickness."

[vanitas_veci]

That sounded a lot like Xehanort... Vanitas had no interest in going back, and this Davy Jones sounded too much like his old master to want to work for... but sometimes working for someone more powerful than you paid off.

"I see." Vanitas looked out over the sea. "Maybe this place will be fun after all."

[strongworld]

And you're alive.

[BECAUSE THAT IS THE SECONDARY FACTOID HERE.]

You want a medal?

[mikangirl]

[Point. Also: ghost. Not something she wants to get near, ever. Imagine that.]

If anyone'll find a way to do it, Luffy will. [She glances briefly at the old salts in question, and then turns back to her bottle, making a face before taking a long drink. She's gonna need it, clearly.]

I guess as long as I'm stuck here your luck finding treasure might improve. So where's everyone else?

[mikangirl]

I can't promise you that!

[Omg what do you take me for. 8|

You buying?
