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!

I see. [Thoughtful.] That sounds kinda like how it works back home, though we have no guilds. Though more... organized crime syndicate type organizations under the Yonkou.

[He's going to find a crate to sit on and nibble his takoyaki.] Trafalgar Law. Captain of the Heart Pirates. At least back home, anyway...

[Which means... no, it means the same thing, even if he's dead. He's still what he is. It hasn't changed.]

[caster_blaster]

A pirate. I see.

[His hand twitches at his side for the moment. There are no happy go lucky pirates in his sector of the galaxy. Not that he's ever met. The pirate guilds are an organized, efficient horde of killers.]

Now by pirate, I assume we mean the same thing. Thieves and murderers who waylay anyone unlucky enough to be in their line of sight.

[deathsdoctor]

I think I have a more broad defination of that. A pirate is anyone my world's government considers an outlaw and sails the sea. And since my world's pretty much all ocean...

[His eyes fall on those twitching hands. Might be having problems soon. Alright...]

Yes, there are pirates who do what you just described. But then there are ones who like to do things rescue children. We come in all walks.

[caster_blaster]

Funny...Well, I can't exactly prove how things work in your world, can I? Guess I'll have to take your word for it.

[The tension in his body relaxes.]

I can honestly say I've never heard of a humanitarian pirate.

[deathsdoctor]

Hm. This world is supposed to be full of pirates, correct? I suppose you'll more than hear of them, sooner or later.

[caster_blaster]

Are you guys tough?

[deathsdoctor]

I'd like to think so.

[They're very tough.]
