Test Drive for December 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!

♦ NAVY SHIPS! Cannon fire! Guns and explosions! It's a Pirates vs. Navy battle! **HINT: This might be a good one to try this time around... :D

Oh right! [Flips hers open.] But I couldn't tell if it was psychic paper or what, so I was saving it for later.

Is it important?

[uccellodifuoco]

It is. It's the only way we have to communicate with others in our same situation in other places.

[He opens his journal and searches the pages for a moment until he reaches a message from the Doctor and activates it so the man's voice is heard.]

Recognize this voice?

[bigbadrose]

DOCTOR! [She just seizes the book and jumps up and down.] Oh! That's him! That's him all right!

Oh... he sounds pretty angry, yeah?

[Looks back up at Ikki.] How long has it been?

[uccellodifuoco]

He has been here as long as me as far as I know. This will be his fourth month here. I would bother explaining how time can be screwed here, but I have the impression that you probably know that already. Just don't be surprised if he is from earlier than you remember.

[He starts to walk in direction to the port.]

He should be at the ship, come if you want to see him.

[bigbadrose]

Four months?!

No wonder he's angry. The doctor doesn't like being stuck on linear timelines.

Yes, thank you, please, take me to him right away. [She holds a finger up to her lips.] And don't tell him I'm here yet please. It'll be a fun surprise.

[uccellodifuoco]

Yeah, that and we got some problems with the local authority.

[He looks at her, arching an eyebrow.]

Do I look as if I'm going to tell him?

1/2

[bigbadrose]

What kind of problems?

[Not that it's unusual, she did get exiled from her own country once. Sort of. But still, it needs asking.]

2/2

[bigbadrose]

[But she almost instantly follows up with a light-hearted grin.] Can't be too careful. It's always the quiet ones they say.

[uccellodifuoco]

They took and damaged what belonged to us. We got it back, with interests.

[And by his tone it would take a real idiot to not imagine that a lot of blood and destruction was involved in those interests. The tone vanishes at the next part, though, as if it had never been there.]

I assure you, I have no interest of going around yelling about everything I do or every person I meet.

[A heartbeat.]

I will warn you now, though. The TARDIS isn't here, the Doctor said so.
