Test Drive for January 2014 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's italian? I'm an elf!

I play the guitar- my trusty Stratocaster!

[TWaaaaaaaaaaaang!! He plays a bit for show- sounding suspiciously like an electric guitar.]

[caster_blaster]

Funny...Well, I can't exactly prove how things work in your world, can I? Guess I'll have to take your word for it.

[The tension in his body relaxes.]

I can honestly say I've never heard of a humanitarian pirate.

[megatonpunch]

[While you They were marveling in awe at the fountain and admiring the detail, they might find a short, pink cream puff standing right by them also admiring it!]

Ouyo... [He agreed. There was no way anyone could have pulled this off in a single day. If this person was dreaming... then surely that must have meant that he was dreaming too! That would make sense!]

[megatonpunch]

[Well it's less like a ship and more of a kind of... small, little, beat up dingy he found? It rocks back and forth as the waves causes him to slowly drift by the island.

...

Oh hey! There's a person there. Um. He's going to wave a little awkwardly at her with his stubby arms. You got that whole Abandoned Island thing down right?]

Oy!

[princelycharm]

Italians are from a country in Euro....

Did you just say an elf? Like pointy ears and all?

And what is a stratocaster? [He pauses for a bit as he listens to the music] Is that it?

[princelycharm]

My fortitude? Did I just do something? [He blinked at Archer innocently. Slowly he's realizing that the white-haired man was talking funny.]

Well, are you new here then?

[deathsdoctor]

Hm. This world is supposed to be full of pirates, correct? I suppose you'll more than hear of them, sooner or later.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG v my reaction as well

[princelycharm]

[Tamaki was busy trying to find new recruits as well as have the natives indulge themselves in a day of sailing with the host club when he heard a familiar voice.

His heart was racing as he slowly turned around to locate the origin of the voice. There she is, wondering nonchalantly along the town square. Immediately Tamaki ran towards Haruhi before she broke another vase...at least... he thought she might.]

HARU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~!!!!

[Voice]

[level99sage]

Yyyyes?

-I guess you'd call it something like a guitar! But yeah, that was it! Whaddya think?

[Voice]

[princelycharm]

Do they always stay up? Can you move them?

I think its good! Do you also sing? [A horde of questions.]

[Voice]

[level99sage]

Um...well, I'd say they move about the same as human ears?

I sing a little, but mostly I just play! Good to hear that you like it though!

[Voice]

[princelycharm]

But I can't move my ears though...[Clearly sounds disappointed.]

Maybe we can use you in our ship. Entertainment is hard to come by...

[Voice]

[level99sage]

Oh. Er. Well then...

-what, really? I mean, well obviously you have good taste!

[letthestormrageon]

[She has nowhere to go. No wish to return to Arendelle, a kingdom that is better off without her, sure, Anna may be sad, but in the long run it will be fine. Now both Anna and her can be free, Anna won't have to be isolated because of Elsa and Elsa won't have to restrain herself because of Anna and her people. If there's really a way for her to be able to be with people and not be dangerous... She will follow them to the ends of the Earth, pirate, criminal or whatever they are. She's an outcast herself, she ran away, she has nothing to judge others with, so long as they are good enough people and want her it should be fine.

She smiles fondly at his promise, not sure if it's really possible but glad to hear that. She will have hope, he says it in such a way that it's hard not to.]

I will wait patiently then, until you find that way if she can't help. I promise.

[She will, she has nothing else to do after all.]

[thiefstyle]

W-What do you mean we're no longer on Earth? That's a bit too extreme.

[ Nami had her share of odd news for one day, she didn't need to hear this. ]

[thiefstyle]

Keimi !!

[ Excited to see her friend, Nami reached over to greet her with a warm hug. ]

I'm so happy to see you!

[letthestormrageon]

[She had never heard that term but now she can see that it's not something meant as rude. Elsa laughs at the comment about drawing a straight line.]

I see, thank you very much.

To be honest I'm not sure if I really have such a nice sense of aesthetics, I just have to think, and those thoughts form in ice. I don't think it deserves such compliments when it's something so simple for me while other people have to work really hard for those things.

[thiefstyle]

Yo, Zoro. It's good to see you here!

[ She grins at him; a bit devious. ]

Do you need any help heading back? ♥

[thiefstyle]

[ That nickname is painfully familiar. She didn't look so pleased to see him, and for a very good reason. ]

What are you doing here?

[letthestormrageon]

[As he worked on the map, Elsa looked around, thinking about other things, other details that would help to protect the treasure. Or what to use as markings.]

I'm thinking we could use something simple and not apparent for our markings, maybe footprints of some animal. Hidden to avoid any people with hunting talent tracking them... Or maybe footprints of a dangerous animal so people don't want to follow them even if they find them.

[thiefstyle]

... Eh? Really?

[ She smiled and tossed an arm around Luffy's shoulder, guiding him back toward town. Totally taking advantage of this rare moment. ]

I'm glad you guys are okay.

[thiefstyle]

Close, but not quite.

[ Yo, Law. Join her in the whole 'new arrivals' group. She smiled at him. ]

Are you okay?

[letthestormrageon]

[She can't help to notice that he seems taken aback for a moment, and she does so with slight worry and regret. Elsa offers a smile again, small and sad.]

I suppose it would be naive to expect the beorc of your world to at least know how to pay proper respect to a laguz royal, right?

[opendoor]

stowaway!

[ when you're chasing after a sister who runs away at the very sight, sound or smell (it's the sea breeze ok!) of you, you have to get creative. survival of the fittest, adapt or get hauled away by a snowman who most assuredly does not care for warm hugs. so anna, upon once more spying elsa about to board a ship, in a fit of desperation inspiration sneaks aboard.

in a barrel.

hey, if her sister runs away at the sight of her, why not take the whole "seeing her coming" out of the equation? it's totally a foolproof plan!

...except for how she might have snuck aboard the wrong ship.

feel free to find her or notice the whispered complaints coming from the barrel ("What was in this?") or catch her as she's trying to climb out ]

( ooc: alternatively, she could have hidden in a barrel among supplies to be loaded onto people's ships! )

[caster_blaster]

You don't have to do calculation in your head or anything? You just imagine it and it happens? Man, that's much easier than tao magic.
