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!

What?!

[His eyes are wide and he slumps to his knees. These kinds of shocks. How was he supposed to get back to Ezonoo this way? People were waiting for him to come back!]

That's...that doesn't make any sense. I just left the optometrist.

[hands4healing]

[She sounds sympathetic.]

I'm sorry. I know it doesn't help, but we're all in the same boat!

[Ha ha.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Well...thank you, I think.

[Hachiken deflates and drops to his knees. Why do all the bad things just happen to him?]

[hands4healing]

[Winry stares at him for a few seconds.]

Are you all right?

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[He blinks a moment and looks up at her. People normally just ignore him when he's up to his theatrics.]

Uh...yeah. I'm fine.

[He gives her a shy little smile, blushing a little. She really is a pretty girl.]

[hands4healing]

Are you sure? [Winry's accustomed to completely different types of dramatics, after all.]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Yeah, really sure. [Hachiken stands and dusts off his pants.]

So...do you know anywhere for a good cup of coffee?

[hands4healing]

[Winry's dubious, but if he says he's okay - and he's not physically bleeding or anything - well, he's okay.]

I don't think there's coffee here!

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Ah, that's too bad.

[He sighs. Oh well.]

[hands4healing]

[Winry finishes off her popsicle and hops off the ledge.]

There are a couple of places to get other things! I hear if you want something badly enough, there's a place that can get almost anything. I'm not sure of the price, though.

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Would you mind showing me around?

[hands4healing]

No, I'd be happy to! Come on!

[unlikelyfarmhand]

Thank you.

[He smiles at her and follows her.]

What kinds of things have you found here?

[hands4healing]

Mmm, mostly the shipyard, and the shops. I had to buy a few things before we set sail.

[unlikelyfarmhand]

I see...I suppose I need a few things if I'm going to go sailing.

[hands4healing]

Some sturdy shoes! And clothes that dry fast. Those are important.
