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!

[Even with some people who didn't seem to be worried or afraid of her ice, Elsa still prefers to keep to herself and doesn't really expect to be reached for. So when she hears the other's voice, she's startled for a moment, looking at the sky rather than at the horizon as if she hadn't taken notice of the weather. A soft smile comes to her lips as she finally pays attention to it.]

Yes. It really is, it seems we won't be finding any storm or an uneasy weather for a good while. The sailing will be smooth.

[Which is very good and appreciated, whatever makes the travel faster and easier until she finds an island where she can stay by herself. She turns to the other, apologetically.]

I'm sorry, did I bother you?
honorofkings: (☼ so what's the plan?)

[ Cairistiona shook her head and gave an easy smile to Elsa and patted the area next to where she was sitting, making some room for her to take a seat. ]

The others must be happy about the smooth sailing.

[ Her smile widened and she chuckled. ]

Not at all. Please, take a seat. I find it's better to appreciate the weather with others.

[The offer surprises her and it pleases her, but the pleased expression melts in one of worry as she realizes how that could be not a good idea. Regretfully she shakes her head.]

I'm sorry, I appreciate the offer but I prefer to stay here.

[Standing at a safe distance from the other, not too far but not too close either.]

We surely can still appreciate the weather together like this?

[Hopefully.]
honorofkings: (☼ pleased to meet you.)

[ The paladin takes that in to consideration. Maybe Elsa was shy. However, that did not mean that she couldn't be friendly to the other girl. ]

Not a problem. And, of course we can.

[ A pause. ]

I'm Cairistiona Vyeth-Sunstriker, miss, and it's a pleasure to meet you.

[The acceptance makes her happy and she visibly relaxes at that, a soft smile appearing in her face. She inclines herself slightly as the other woman introduces herself.]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, I am Elsa...

[Queen of nothing. Elsa of nowhere. There's a second of pause as she realizes that before she smiles and sighs in defeat.]

Just Elsa.

Is this your first time in a ship, Miss Vyeth-Sunstriker?

[It's a complicated name, but Elsa masterfully pronounces it correctly, the same way as the other had said it.]
honorofkings: (☼ happy to see you.)

[personal profile] honorofkings 2013-12-25 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cairistiona was able to feel the ease and she smiled back before deciding to get up and bow in greeting. ]

Elsa is a very pretty name, if you ask me.

[ A pause and a shake of her head. ]

Please just call me Cairistiona. I've no need for formalities, Elsa. But, no, it isn't. I'm...a soldier of sorts, so traveling by sea is rather common if one wants to get to another continent.

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you. It is the first time I hear a name like yours, but I like it as well, is it common in your land?

[She nods calmly and gratefully for the permission to go with her given name.]

All right then, Cairistiona. Did you serve the army of your country?
honorofkings: (☼ so what's the plan?)

[personal profile] honorofkings 2013-12-25 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome, and sort of. Personally, I find my sister's name, Alethesea, a little bit more of a mouthful.

[ She giggles after recalling her name before shaking her head. ]

I did, and I still technically do. I'm the Knight-Commander of Stormwind, my kingdom and the capital of the Alliance, one of the two factions around Azeroth, my world. The other is the Horde.

[ Interestingly enough, she doesn't seem to hold any malice in her eyes or voice when she says that word. She doesn't agree with the Alliance-Horde war and thinks Azeroth would be better off without their squabbling. ]
letthestormrageon: (010 - But I know you'll be all right)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you have a sister? Is she older or younger than you?

[Her eyes brighten at the mention of a sister, remembering her own.]

So your world is divided in factions besides kingdoms? Are there no neutral realms that belong to no faction?
honorofkings: (☼ pleased to meet you.)

[personal profile] honorofkings 2013-12-25 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Younger. I have two sisters and a brother... along with a husband and seven children.

[ Even if two were adopted, she loved her family unconditionally. ]

Yes, and there are. Thank the Light that they're there, otherwise the Alliance and the Horde might not have a third set of eyes in to the problems around Azeroth.
letthestormrageon: but what can I do? (007 - You say that I'm frozen)

[personal profile] letthestormrageon 2013-12-25 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's wonderful! I'm sorry that you're away from them here. I have a little sister myself, her name's Anna.

[And it's just them both. No, it's just Anna now. Anna in Arendelle, but she will be okay, Elsa's sure of it. Even if some of her decisions may worry her a bit, she will be a good queen.]

I thought so, from the way it sounded I imagine that the Alliance and the Horde aren't in the best terms with each other.
