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!

Hmm I dunno. [he's sure Celestia told him some of it but he can't really remember much of it] I think she can do weather stuff and maybe other stuff too. You'll have to ask her.

[letthestormrageon]

[Weather stuff, that sounds... Promising actually.]

Healing stuff?

[She tries, to see if it rings something to him.]

[allendsmeat]

I dunno. [he really doesn't pay attention and they haven't really gotten that hurt lately so...] Why don't you come and ask her? And if it's not what you want you can go. [he nods] But we'll still come and visit you.

[letthestormrageon]

[That... Makes Elsa smile, sincerely happy again.]

Okay, I can do that. And if not, I wouldn't mind an occasional visit, if you tell me about your adventures.

[It seems like a fair deal. If this Celestia can do healing magic, maybe she could help even if the worst were to happen again. It's a cheap solution, she knows, it's not what her parents wanted... But she had tried, she really tried and failed. It was either this, or be alone forever. She's ready for it, for the isolation and solitude, but it's not what she really wants. She wants to go back, have fun with her powers and play with others, make a snowman even in the middle of July.]

[allendsmeat]

[she should smile more often. It makes Luffy smile too.] Yep! But I hope you can come with us.

[and to that end]

Come on! I'll race you!

[and with that he takes a running leap out the window, holding his hat on as he falls, then slams down to the ground, his rubbery body absorbing the impact. He'll look back up to make sure she comes out before he resumes running, though.]

[letthestormrageon]

[She screams when he jumps, rushing to the window and watching in disbelief as he's... Perfectly all right. If she stays she will have to ask again about what he is.

Elsa still hesitates for another moment, turning to look at her palace before she looks at the running boy. But she can return, if she doesn't see it as a safe idea for them, she won't go. And this is already a winter island so she can't cause much damage if she ends unleashing a snow storm, right?

With a gesture she creates the start of an ice walkway through which she runs, creating more and more of it as she advances and races him. No one said the race had to be on the same ground level, after all.]

[allendsmeat]

Wooooaaaah! THAT'S SO COOL! [he'll shout that at her. So awesome So AWESOME! He'll charge even faster, though it's harder when he hits deeper snow and has to plow up the hill but he keeps at least abreast of her if not a little behind. After a while he'll crest another hill and just beyond that is the Million Merrily-gou, sitting in the harbor, its silly pink dragon figurehead glinting in the sunlight.]

That way! Can you go across water?!

[letthestormrageon]

[The shout makes her laugh again, this time loudly and freely, as she always does when she's using her powers willingly, amazing herself with what she can do. Unafraid of them or herself. She feels like a little kid again, before things went wrong.

When she spots the ship, she will look curiously at it, wondering if there's a reason behind such a figurehead. Upon hearing his question she will turn to look at him, still running, a wide smile on her face.]

Sure I can! Want to see it?

[allendsmeat]

YES! GOOOOOOOOOO! [and he'll fist pump the air. Her crossing the sea is so much more cooler than winning anything]

[letthestormrageon]

[She laughs again and continues running into the sea. A burst of her power makes the walkway advance ahead of her as if it had a life of its own, suddenly ending in a slide towards the water. Elsa runs and then slides easily through it, directly to the water and for a second it seems as if she's going to submerge on it.

But as soon as her foot touches the water, it freezes around her, and she runs, a path of ice being created as she does so. She had done the same before, when she ran away from Arendelle. This time, however, she's not running away from anything. She makes sure to be away of the ship, so that the ice won't bother it when it starts sailing again and eventually returns back to the coast, skating over the ice forming under her as if it had always been there, laughing all the way.

Maybe she has gotten a bit too in contact with her inner child now. She smiles widely once she finds Luffy again.]

Satisfied?

[allendsmeat]

[satisfied?! He's watching with stars in his eyes! Just to see what she can do is more amazing than he even thought possible!]

AMAZING!!! I wanna try! [and zoom! He darts off onto the ice, slipping more often than not but eventually getting a rythm going as he skates out to sea, the ocean moving underneath him and then back to where she is, nearly running into her before he throws himself back and lands on his butt]

BE MY CREWMATE FOREVER!!

[letthestormrageon]

[Oh, God, now he really reminds her of Anna when they were kids. Elsa laughs as he darts off onto the ice, chasing after him and sending a trail of ice to his feet, giving him ice skates right under his footwear to help. She then stops to watch him have fun, paying attention in case he needs more ice or help.

When he returns and yells that she's... Quite taken aback. It's flattering, and she's enjoying it, despite how scared and worried she had been at first. But still, as much as she may have gotten in contact with her inner child, Elsa isn't a child anymore, and she knows where her responsibilities lie. When she speaks, she leans forward a bit, moving to be on eye level with him, her tone is calm and mature, still very happy and very warm as a contrast for her powers. She speaks to him with the older sister voice she would use on Anna.]

Now, now, Luffy. First I have to make sure that it will be safe, or that there will be a way to fix things if something bad happens. I wouldn't want to hurt you or anyone else and be unable to fix it. But if everything is fine then yes, I'll stay with you for as long as you want.

[She wouldn't be able to endure it a second time.]

[allendsmeat]

[stay with him as long as he wants?! Really? That would be amazing! He definitely can't let her go now. He understands why she's scared but...Have a wide grin]

Okay. Then if Celestia can't help, I'll find a way so you can be my crew mate forever no matter what.

[and that's a serious promise despite his grin. He won't give up until Elsa is sailing with them happy and free]

[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.]
