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!

[Cynthia tilts her head to the side]

How do you mean?

[Garchomp sighs, and shakes his head, before moving to nibble at the scone. Why is everyone so afraid of him?]

[rosettawall]

[Alice smiles a bit.]

She's a few years my junior, I suppose I should say.

[Lance, meanwhile, is momentarily okay with the big dragon thing leaving him alone. Really, the LAST time he saw a dragon it didn't go terribly well, either, so he was okay not engaging with it]

[chasingalegend]

... I see. Well, I learned a couple things from the people I've tried to pass my knowledge onto as well... they're very surprising, you know.

[she laughs a bit in reminiscence]

... sometimes, I wonder how that one girl who defeated me is doing...

[rosettawall]

You truly can find such things from the most unexpected sources.

[She pauses momentarily, setting her cup down.]

A girl who defeated you...? Might I ask what you mean by that?

[chasingalegend]

Mmmn, well, you see Alice... in my world, Pokemon and humans work together in officially recognized contests where Pokemon battle in accordance with orders from their trainers. The highest ranked trainer in the land is considered the Champion, and after years, Garchomp, my other Pokemon and myself reached that lofty plateau...

[she sighs, a bit fondly]

... but that ultimately came to an end one day when we were defeated in battle by a young trainer named Dawn. I had guided her through much of her journey, but... in a way, she also guided me.

[rosettawall]

[Understanding now, Alice reaches back for her cup and lifts it]

Well, that is what friends do, is it not? I wouldn't be the same person I am today without my friends Mana and Rikka. Mana's words especially have shaped the person I've become, and the things I wish to do.

[chasingalegend]

Mmm, I suppose you're right. And my grandmother certainly helped set me on the course I took with the stories she told me...

[Cynthia takes a sip as well]

Still... I wish I could see her again... see what other heights her journey has taken her to...
