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?

[might be trying to stealthily pull the last remaining bottle of rum closer to him so she can't steal it]

Around the ship. Unless Luffy went tearing off into the woods to find boars, he does that a lot. Oh, that's right, you wouldn't remember the Million Merrily. Good little ship.

[mikangirl]

[You can stealthily do that all you want, Zoro. She'll take a while to get through this bottle, so you might wanna outdrink her if you want to keep it.]

Million Merrily? You've got a new-- of course you have. [Not...sure how to feel about that. It feels damn strange knowing the Sunny's waiting for them at home.] What type of vessel?

[yourotherleft]

Brig sloop. [yes that is a much better tactic, guzzling down the rest of this bottle to move on to the other] Smaller than Sunny. But there's a guy who's pretty good at ship-building, captain of another crew, he made some improvements for us. Enclosed the crow's nest and stuff.

[mikangirl]

[Same kind as Sunny, then, in theory. Though Sunny was distinctly a class all on his own.]

At least there's some familiarity, then. [She pouts a little as he opens the second bottle. Fine, keep your alcohol.] How long's Keimi been your navigator for?

[yourotherleft]

[scratches the back of his neck] Mm. Well, she was already doing it when I got here, so it's been a while. But she had help from Bepo - one of the Heart Pirates - for a while, and I think Marco taught her some stuff too.

[Perhaps he won't mention Aokiji giving her lessons, though.]

[mikangirl]

Oh, we're not the only ones here from home? [She knows Bepo is Law's navigator, and Marco sounds vaguely familiar. She looks curious for a moment, then her eyes narrow.]

Tell me no jerks from home followed us here, at least.

[yourotherleft]

[for a moment, he grins recklessly]

Well, Smoker and Crocodile ain't here anymore, so you don't have to worry.

But yeah, there's others, not just Keimi. A handful of the Whitebeards are still around.

[mikangirl]

So no decent competition for jewel shards. What a shame.

[No really.]

[yourotherleft]

You wouldn't think so if you met the Whitebeards. [sigh, but no. She has a point] The locals are pretty weak. Even the Navy.
