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... right... Haruka = Japanese.

Erf.

Be that as it may, he tries not to make too much of a fuss about it. ]

Cute, for a flower Shoppe? I think something more elegant should have been picked, 'Rose Blanche' maybe. But then my sense of style has always been more refined than the others.

[Not much of a fuss... for Chloe anyway.

And yeah that 'boy band' stuff is complicated, try working in a flower shop with a bunch of men. ]

[my_lost_heart]

[You don't see many Japanese girls with pink hair and amber eyes? Did that throw you off Chloe?]

Mm! Or a pet shop. [How could anyone not admit how cute that name was? She did however wonder why it was selected for that sort of business.] Does it cause much confusion among your customers? [If not, then why worry about it? Renaming it would mean having to print new advertisements and signs] That's a lovely name too. ["More refined"? She didn't want to choose sides in this name debate]

... Are you missing the others while you're here?

[She doesn't want to try that. She would die D:. /Was imagining Kitten's House being run by the vocalists... and having them giving her too much attention throughout the day.]

[executionerrose]

[As an admirer of women that, admittedly did help to throw him off the trail... but then where did striking ladies like her actually come from?]

It does come up occasionally, but when some one comes into the store looking to buy a cat I try to sell them Aya.

[HA! It was his idea to name the store that anyway!
So many would love to take that offer

The tone grows more sombre as the joke fades into the air. Those guys were loud, bossy, rude, had no class what-so-ever... of course he missed them.]

Searching the stars is a good way to reflect on many things after all.

[Including those left behind, still working in that mismatched flower shop at home. ]

[my_lost_heart]

[An "admirer of women"? You do remind me a lot of Ren....]

[Lightly cupping her mouth she tried not to laugh too much]

You two must be really good friends if you're able to kid each other like that. No one's tried to take you up on that offer, have they?

[I should have read the strikeout!]

.............. Oh!...

[Right. He'd said that before. They'd both managed to forget about their worries for a little while but she'd managed to bring it right back to his concerns.]

I'm sorry- I didn't mean to..... I should have known from what we were talking about earlier.

[executionerrose]

[He and Ren could be long lost twins.]

[Yes, you should have done.]

A few have. Aya does not have much of a sense of humor about these matters though, so no one has ever been able to go through with the sale.

[But one could get a laugh out of watching his expression! He smiled to remember it even now.]

There is no need to apologize. We have only gone full circle with our conversation after all.

[my_lost_heart]

[And Aya must be Masato in your world!]

With a thing like that- I can't say I blame him.

[Though she was smiling at the idea herself, obviously seeing the humor in it. If she'd been placed in Aya's role... there would have been no recovering from the shock of that suggestion]

[Still....]

When I finish this song... I hope.. you'll be the first one to hear it.

[To make up for the flub, and because you helped me come up with it..]
