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!
Leliana | Dragon Age: Origins --- (what am I doing?)
[Leliana was used to performing both with and without music. While usually it had been for underhanded or useful motives, this was simply for the song. And the request. How she had gotten up to sing in the tavern may have been in part to the person that she was talking to but the general emotions of the tavern was so down, she had to do something.
She sang the first song that came to her mind. She used it in a recent battle to motivate her teammates, but with a different tempo and a slight change in the melody, it could easily be used as just an uplifting song. Still, she changed a few words just to make sure.]
Don’t ever give up,
Keep going until we reach the sun-light.
Never give up,
You know that we will win this fight!
No,
We’ve already won.
We’ve beat everything this world’s thrown at us.
What’s one more fight
To collect the shards? No more fuss.
We will win!
Win!
Win!
i'm sorry
Something about Leliana's song is familiar to Shepard and reminds him of another one. When she finishes, he lifts his drink and sort of slurs:]
That's... not how it goes, is it?
[How the hell did that extranet meme go? Joker used to forward it to him all the goddamn time. It was practically impossible to get out of his head...]
Never... never going to give you up, never going to let you down, never going to run around and... desert you?
i'm sorry too >.< idek what that was orl
Well, I did change the words, but I don't think I ever heard that one.
[She contemplated her drink for a moment before she decided she should probably stop and pushed it away from her a bit.]
You have to let me hear all of it sometime.
LELIANA'S WAS GREAT shepard's was not because I'm terrible
[And he just shook his head at her second comment. Nobody should be subjected to that stupid meme. Joker has really ruined it for Shepard.]
That was also a lot better than Lefty over there and his usual entertainment.
[He just points to a pirate at a piano or whatever instrument they've got in here. Poor bastard has a hook hand for his left hand and is just trying his best to play.]
no subject
[His dismissal of having her hear the whole song didn't stop her from wanting to. What was a bard without a little variety?
She looked at the man Shepard pointed to before smiling slightly and turning back to look at her table mate.]
Oh, I'm sure Messere Lefty was a wonderful piano player... before the terrible accident that cost him his hand.
[She tried to look serious, but didn't stop some of her amusement from showing.]
MORE OPTIONS/PROMPTS (now that I'm not buzzed anymore)
[Leliana always liked watching people, but she had to spend a lot of her time at this new world with the crew she had now. One of the best ways for her to get to know someone is to observe them, so that's what she was doing now. They didn't really have much to do on the ship anyway; they were already heading in the direction they wanted to and the seas were pretty calm.
She leaned against the side of the ship. If anyone were to glance at her, it would look like she was purely enjoying the warmth of the sun and the slightly cooler breeze. Her eyes, however, were on her crew mates as they walked or talked to each other or wrote in their books.]
[OPT 3 - First arrival]
Strange. Had she passed out? She last remembered the bright light from the tower where the archdemon had landed and before she could question its meaning, she woke on cold stone with a whisper in her mind.
At first, she didn't pay any attention to it. As soon as she became aware, her heart started to pound and adreneline started to rush through her. She felt for her bow and arrows, but as soon as she felt them on her back instead of strewn over the ground, she realized she wasn't anywhere in Denerim.
At least, she was pretty sure there wasn't a statue like that anywhere in the city. She looked around more and didn't even see any darkspawn, or towers or castle. And those buildings were different. Had she been dropped off by someone after she passed out? But why would it be in the center of a town she'd never seen before? On the ground?
"What..." She started to question herself, but something on the statue caught her eye. It looked like words. She leaned closer and examined it better. After the first line, it was as if the whispered words were being whispered again as she read it.
She gained what information she could from it. She was in a port town. That would explain the smell of the ocean. But the tale of the ruby could be centuries old if the condition of the fountain was anything to go by. Or it could be a legend. The whispered voice... could have been someone trying to mess with her. Maybe the same person that brought here?
She looked around for any person that looked as if they would be watching her, waiting to see her reaction. Doubtless if this was some elaborate joke, they would want to see what her response would be. And after she found them she could demand why they took her away from the fight that was so very important for all of Thedas.
