Test Drive for November 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!

[Roxas' fingers were gripped around a piece of Sora's shirt and he was bent over, catching his breath, looking every bit a drowned rat. He coughed a bit and spat up a small amount of water before wiping his mouth.]

Yeah. I'm okay.

[He spoke between breaths.] Thanks Sora.

[rikuheyriku]

No problem, just... try to be more careful, alright!

[He gave a nervous laugh, patting Roxas on the back. The rest of the crew scattered back to their assigned tasks, leaving Sora and his Nobody to their conversation.]

Come on, you should probably sit down.

[Once Roxas was able to walk, again, he'd be led down the steps and out of the rain to sit down.]

[heartismyown]

[He nods and gets up without too much trouble. He's just a little embarrassed at being scolded. He follows Sora right down out of the rain.]

I didn't know I could swim.

[rikuheyriku]

Oh, you didn't? Yeah... uh... [This is slightly awkward to say like this, but...]

I grew up on an island. Riku and I used to swim together all the time.

[heartismyown]

You got to go to the beach? That's so cool! I kind of remember it from my dreams. It was sunny there, right?

[rikuheyriku]

[Sora blinked a bit, then smiled and nodded.]

Yeah... The sun was always shining brightly during the day! [The smile grew a bit more fond as he thought about it.]

We'd sit and watch the sun setting on the ocean. And we'd talk about leaving the islands to go explore other places... [He laughed and scratched at the side of his head a bit. A faintly sheepish grin appearing with the last sentence.]

Well, mostly Riku talked about it.

[heartismyown]

The beach sounds really fun. Axel and I were going to go to the beach and eat sea salt ice cream there, instead of the tower but...

[Roxas looks down a bit, frowning.]

I guess that never happened. You didn't have work to do?

[rikuheyriku]

[Face falls a bit, before he awkwardly looks to the side. Axel...

He feels kind of bad about that whole situation.]

He really cared about you. [It's said without him meaning to, and he blinks.]

Uh... well, yeah. I sometimes helped my parents out with their boat... and stuff. And Riku, Kairi, and me were building a raft.

[heartismyown]

Oh...[His hands curled up into light fists. It's unfair the way they were separated. He would have forgiven him if he'd just been honest. But Axel came after him, didn't he? He must have been sorry.]

[Roxas sighs. For a Nobody he's incredibly expressive.]

Oh I see. I worked all the time, except I had seven days off. It was nice...seven days of summer with my friends.

[rikuheyriku]

[His friends...? Sora tilted his head a bit, then nodded.]

Yeah? That's good, then. What kind of work did you do?
