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?

*Selphie stares at him for a moment, mouth gaping open in disbelief. She steps forward, waving her arms around*

Are you even hearing yourself?! That can't happen! I told you! You're completely crazy! You - you're going to have to start a crew on your own with this attitude, and no one has been able to survive here that way!

*Then she points at him, finger nearly jabbing at his chest*

And I am Never, Ever going to be subordinate to you - so at least you got that right!

[doomkitty]

I'm not crazy... It is meant to be. Ruling is in my blood. [the way he said this it almost sounded repeated, rather than something he came up with and believed strongly himself]

If this Davy Jones brought me here he must have known this would happen. Even if not, under the direction of the Great Compass, all things happen for a reason. [that, it seemed he truly believed]

[his eyes narrowed at her pointing finger] that attitude is precisely why you need to leave.

[booyaka_boom]

There are other people round here with ruling in their blood, and other things besides. You'll have them as well as Jones to deal with. Not to mention all the people who live here.

*She looked at him by way of warning, rather than just being mad at him for being a jerk. But then she did narrow her eyes right back at him*

And your attitude is why you're going to fail.

[doomkitty]

I'm not going to let a little competition stop me... There were those who fought to stop me in my world as well, and eventually I will destroy them all.

[he almost appreciated her concern, until she said he'd fail. As much as he'd liked her argumentative assertiveness before, he didn't seem to like that]

Oh? Are you saying you will stand against me?

[he raised an arm straight up in the air, palm open. Some darkness gathered into it, in the shape of a horizontally positioned pole weapon...then it materialized into a solid halberd-like weapon that liked quite dangerous. It had an evil aura that seemed to blacken the air around it, and the blade had traces of dried blood]

I wouldn't recommend that.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie took a step back as the weapon materialised, gasping in her shock at its appearance. She didn't have her nunchaku with her, so there was no way she could put up a good fight. Her eyes were wide and startled*

I was trying to warn you...

...you're not going strike some girl who looks like she's going to daycare are you...?

[doomkitty]

[he gave a laugh that sounded distinctly sadistic- but also amused]

No. Just for now, I'll deviate from my reputation and leave you be if you stay out of my way.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie shrank back a couple steps more, but she took a deep breath and stood her ground*

Fine. But if you hurt any of the people that I care about, I will come back to find you.

[doomkitty]

Fair enough. It'd be wise to keep them out of my way as well, then.

[he turned his gaze towards the center of town, opening his wings] you have a few hours while I formulate my strategy. See you, human.

[he flapped his wings strongly to take off, flying high to get an overview of the town]
