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!

[Oh, a pretty girl! Or he thinks it's a girl. It's hard to tell nowadays. He gives her a charming smile.]

I'm not from here, but I am an idol! I'm not giving a concert right now, but I'd be glad to give you an autograph!

[my_lost_heart]

[Oh no worries! She is most definitely a girl! She felt a wave of relieve that she wasn't the only one out of her element, until he admitted to being an official idol.]

Oh- I'm sorry.

[She instinctively bowed her head apologetically.]

I should have known, without having to ask. I- was living with my grandmother before I went away to school and we didn't have a tv. I'm sure, you must be someone very famous. [An autograph? Should she really ask for an autograph from an idol she didn't know? The only thing she had on her was that journal.]

[thepurpleway]

There's no need to apologize! [Although her not knowing of his fame does sting a little!]

Oh, you didn't have a tv? Why is that? [He thinks she must have lived in a rural place or maybe her family couldn't afford one.]

[my_lost_heart]

[You've got it in one!]

We live out in the country, and I guess grandmother didn't see a need for one. For entertainment she always used to play the piano.

[thepurpleway]

Ah, now I can definitely agree that playing the piano is better than television! That must've been very nice!

[my_lost_heart]

Mm, it was. She taught me how to play too.

[But this subject couldn't be all that interesting to an established pro]

.. You're very kind, for listening to this.

[.. and it still left an even greater issue]

I wonder- how we got here. Forgive me if I'm mistaken but you seem as out of place here as I am.

[thepurpleway]

I'd love to hear you play sometime.

[Gakupo blinks at her statement.] Eh? Well, I thought it was interesting, so why wouldn't I listen?

[Yes, that issue!]

Yes, you would be right about that. To be honest, this may just be another country where we're on location filming a music video or some promotional event.
