Test Drive for January 2014 Apps




Welcome to your monthly Test Drive for [community profile] 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!

Because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's seein' a good person bein' punished. Whether it's by themselves or someone else. As for death, that's an everyday possibility in my line of work.

That's... A really varied crew.

[Strange but not in a bad way, more like a curious way. Specially the phoenixes.]

Are the phoenixes really made of fire?

[Wrong ship indeed. Loki had a feeling something wasn't quite right when a few choice muffled words coming from a barrel. Surely a stowaway would know better than to come aboard the Glided Rose. It was a small crew, but quite a vicious one.

Quietly he stood in the storage area, completely veiled from sight as he watched the young woman climb out of the barrel she had been hiding in. It wasn't until her feet hit the floor boards that he become visible again.]


It's quite poor manners to board a ship like this.

I... I'm not being punished.

[She shakes her head, stepping back even more as the snow storm arises. Her voice is shaky, the fear and stress increasing inside of her.]
booyaka_boom: (Huh?)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2013-12-25 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah we are! But we have fun and we always help each other out, so it works.

*Selphie thinks about this for a moment*

Uhm... I don't think so. At least, not when they're in human form.

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You've practically exiled yourself out of fear of hurting people. That's a self-punishment if I've ever heard one.

If you talk to other people out there, maybe they can help. Just because you couldn't find an answer on your world, doesn't mean you can't find help from another. Maybe someone can train you. Teach you how to master it.

I was taught! I had help back there! And it was useless!!!

[Her voice raises as does the snow storm, the raging wind pushing against him. The cracking sound that had started continues and increases as the walls seem to change shape, abandoning the beautiful forms in exchange of spikes.]

I tried to control it! I tried to keep it under control!! I just can't!!
letthestormrageon: I can't reach my soul (002 - All colors seem to fade away)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And when they are in bird form?

[She seems to have calmed down again, but remains sitting looking at Selphie with warm curiosity.]

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's very glad that his usual attire is pretty well-insulated, even if it gets hot on occasion. He holds his cloak shut.]

Oh? Who helped you, then? What did they teach you?
letthestormrageon: I sacrificed for you (006 - When lies turn into truth)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
My parents... My father did. He did his best, he tried to help me, to teach me to control it. He gave me gloves so I wouldn't freeze things upon touching them. He taught me to conceal it, to keep it inside... But I failed.

[Why is she talking about that? She doesn't want to, why can't he just leave. Why does he care?]

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm sure he meant well, but...That's not what I mean. Teaching someone to hide their gifts away isn't the same thing.

I dunno if there's a rule for that. Or maybe each phoenix in each world is different. One of them, he's like a huge bird made of flames! The other though, he turns into a blue bird, who is also very cuddly. So maybe it depends.

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's what I needed!! My problem is that I can't avoid using it even when I want!!

*Selphie was busy singing to herself as she did her usual sweeping of the deck when she thinks she hears something. She stops right by the barrel and stares at it - was the barrel talking to itself? She waits a moment more, holding her breath, then knocks on the side with her broom*

...hello?

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you know that's what you need?
letthestormrageon: Only time will tell its tale (014 - When memories fade into emptiness)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Blue? I've never seen blue fire.

[She sounds amused.]

You care for them a lot, don't you?
booyaka_boom: (Normal Smile)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2013-12-25 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh! And the thing is that it doesn't hurt. In fact, it kinda tickles!

*She smiles brightly at that and nods*

Yeah. My crew are really good to me, and we have a lot of fun.
letthestormrageon: Can't tell the reasons I did it for you (005 - Tell me I'm frozen what can I do?)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I just told you! I can't stop using them!! What else could I need?!!

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, let's talk it out, then. You weren't using your powers like this when I came, right?

[He pushes through the icy wind to get closer to her.]

What triggers these flare-ups? It's obviously due to stress, right? So why do you stress out so badly?
letthestormrageon: (009 - You won't forgive me)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of things do you do?

[Elsa can't help to be curious, she didn't pay much attention to the people in the ship she was in before she arrived to the island.]
letthestormrageon: (011 - It tears me apart that you will)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She steps back straggling a scream when he gets closer.]

Don't come near!!
booyaka_boom: (Normal Smile)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2013-12-25 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I use all kinds of elemental magic, and healing. I fight with nunchaku, and I also play guitar.

*She laughs a little at that*

That's pretty much what I do.
letthestormrageon: I can't reach my soul (002 - All colors seem to fade away)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
All kinds? So you can use ice as well?

[Her eyes seem to shine more brightly at the mention of healing magic.]

What kind of healing?

[personal profile] caster_blaster 2013-12-25 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[He activates his light shield gloves, erecting a barrier that diverts the wind and ice from him.]

See? You don't have to worry about hurting me.
booyaka_boom: (Default)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2013-12-25 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh, I can! But I definitely can't use it in the same way you are.

*She smiles at that*

The healing kind of healing? Protection spells too.
