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?

Right? Shit. This place feels a hell of a lot like the New World at times though. Got some a the same shitty faces floatin' 'round, though they mighta picked a differnt name. Mine's Namur, by the way. What's yers?

[Don't mind him, he's just sliding the rest of the way into that barstool.]

[mikangirl]

[Nami breathes a sigh of relief. At least someone knows what she's talking about in this place. It means Namur's worth talking to, even if all he wants is to chat her up.]

Nami. Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates. [Her gaze flicks up to his. You're not one of Arlong's and you're drinking with humans, so that probably means you're friendly-ish. She figures namedropping is a decent risk to take.]

Kind of new around here.

[Missing her crew.]

[om_nom_namur]

Aw damn yer one a Li'l Bro's girls? Boy gets all the hot babes.

[He chuckles ruefully.]

Well sweetheart, 's yer lucky day cuz we're allies with the Strawhats. Mean, we always was cuz like hell Ace'd have it any other way, sheheheh! But I think Marco's finally gettin' his shit t'gether an' makin' it all official-like.

[mikangirl]

[Oh thank god, he's a Whitebeard pirate. Her shoulders relax visibly and she folds her arms on the bar with a more genuine smile. She misses the significance of what he says at first; allies is news to her, but it also makes sense, in a way.]

Well, good to meet you, Namur. I don't suppose you know why nobody else has heard of us around here...?

[om_nom_namur]

Why would they? 'S a new world. Not the New World, but. Ah shit, y' catch my drift. Folk 'round here ain't heard a the Grand Line cuz there ain't no shitty Grand Line. Though I'll bet if y' wanted t' ask 'bout the Spades y'd get a stinkeye, sheheheh!

[She may notice he has a rather large spade tattooed on the back of one of his hands.]

[mikangirl]

How is it a new world? [Eyebrows raising in alarm. And a healthy dose of skepticism besides. But--]

You've seen my crew, right? They're okay?

[She's never heard of the Spades. Interesting... she'd pegged him for a Whitebeard.]

[om_nom_namur]

Some. Bettin' Keimi weren't 'riginally part a yer crew, nor the... [oh shit, she told him what she was, give him a second...] poh-nee? Yeah! 'S the word. Got wings an' a horn like a narwhal she does! Sheheheh! But Luffy, Zoro, Sanji an' Robin's all doin' as they do. They kept the same name here as there, the Strawhats, prolly cuz yer cap'n's been here since the start a this shitty mess. Sheheh!

[She shouldn't doubt herself. But he doesn't generally give a shit about other peoples' former titles or positions in their worlds, so why would anyone give a shit about his? She'll figure out what happened eventually.]

'S a new world sure as shittin' though. Ol' Zombieface Jones got some crazy magic brings us here an' sends us home as he wills, an' he's a right bastard 'bout it, too.

[mikangirl]

There's a pony on our crew?

[That's it. That's what she focuses on. Because you kind of lost her with everything else. What the hell.]

[om_nom_namur]

[And he just laughs because he does it, too.]

Yep. Some kinda princess or some shit, sheheheh! Take y' where y' can get to 'em right 'way but y' gotta promise me somethin' first.

[mikangirl]

What do you need?

[I am not committing myself to promises without the details.]

[om_nom_namur]

Lemme take y' out for dinner, drinks, an' dancin' sometime later when y' ain't all confused an' lookin' t' get back with yer crew right 'way, yeah?

[mikangirl]

I can't promise you that!

[Omg what do you take me for. 8|


...
...]

You buying?

[om_nom_namur]

[A pretty girl currently not flipping her shit because omg fishman. Therefore, a rare gem, that must be asked out at least once.]

Duh I'd be buyin'. The hell kinda guys y' been datin' that don't buy?
