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!

"That will make it easier to find you in the water when you fall!"

The voice comes from behind her, surprisingly close for how loud it's projected. The young red-headed woman stands with her hands casually tucked behind her back and a friendly grin plastered on her face.

"I saw you stumbling around a few seconds ago," Codi adds, brow creasing with the slightest hint of concern. "You might want to take a step back from the edge."

"Oh!" Amika startles a little, much of her focus having expressly been on not falling, or at least, not thinking of falling. She doesn't think herself in actual danger, but the ocean does look frightfully cold.

She turns and, rather meekly, follows Codi's suggestion. She is quite conscious still that on the ship, she is still more extra weight than she is of use, and is always inclined to do as she is told.

"It is kind of you to worry, frowe. But I must stumble a while if I am to someday walk properly." She too frowns a little, glancing down at her own feet. "I should perhaps be grateful that I am not queasy..."

Codi smirks in obvious amusement. She's needlessly formal...too conditioned for one life and not conditioned at all for this one. Not that Codi's any better--she's been on the ocean a grand total of once, and even then she could still see the coastline at their furthest point. But Amika didn't need to know that.

"'Frowe' is an interesting name," she giggles, holding out a hand (both as a greeting and to steady her less-than-sure-footed companion), "but most people call me Codi. What should I call you?"
