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!

[Gibbs steps closer towards him, still eyeing him a little funny.]

But you talk. I've not met a sea lion who could talk 'afore.

[sitalion]

[What...?]

All the animals can talk! Vitaly can talk, Gia can talk, Sonya...

[Wait...Sonya can't talk. Stefano clears his throat.]

Alice can talk, Marty can talk, and Melman and Gloria can talk!

See? All the animals can talk!

[superstitiouspirate]

Not where I'm from they can't. [Good lord of Jack the Monkey could have talked... The thought of that monkey Makes Gibbs shake his head. He'd had enough problems with that beastie without it talking.]

Well, there are some who can talk, but only because they was taught to. Like Cotton's parrot.

[sitalion]

Ehhh, where are you from?

I don't know any parrot. But I know the penguins!

[superstitiouspirate]

I'm from England, but Tortuga is my home.

[Although he knows all manner of supernatural creatures, a Penguin is something he'd not encountered before. They weren't life threatening enough.]

Penguin? What be a penguin?

[sitalion]

[Gasp!]

You are from the England! Then you know about Circo Zaragoza!?

[superstitiouspirate]

Circo what- what? 'Fraid not. What be a Circo Zaragoza?

[sitalion]

You don't-a know? Circo Zaragoza is only the greatest circus in all of the Europe!

...Or...it was until Vitaly lost his passion. And then the circus began-a to fail...

[superstitiouspirate]

[Gibbs feels his face pulling into a frown as he stares at the Sea lion. As a seafaring man, he has been to places all over the world, but he still never heard of a circus before.]

What is it you be doing in a circus and who be Vitaly?

[Gibbs is finding it hard for someone to loose their passion over something if it is important to them. The idea seems, so strange.]

[sitalion]

[This time he makes an audible gasp. The man didn't even know Vitaly? It's impossible! Because it was Vitaly!]

Vitaly was the biggest star of us all. He was our inspiration. He jumpa though the hoops like he could fly.

[superstitiouspirate]

Well it don't mean I know of him. I'm more of a sea going man meself.
