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!

Your guess is as good as mine.

[Which is as close as he'll get to admitting that he might have been here longer, but the only information he has is that they're surrounded by the hostile or potentially-hostile and a wealth of ocean and islands. And that Davy Jones might have a face made of tentacles.

He suppresses a sigh in the end, forking over the money for the weapons before turning to her again.]

It's still the only lead we have. We'll figure out what to do once we have it.

gotta get that

[slugly]

[Like she said before, it's something. And she's willing to fight tooth and nail and use all her power to find that ruby to get home.]

What sort of currency is that?

[Strange monies!]

they try to copy her swagger

[thethundersaid]

This? [He's been here long enough that he's forgotten to be weirded out by the money. He flicks a doubloon at her as he packages his purchases.]

They're called doubloons. They're just gold.

TWO THOOUSAND AND LATE SASUKE

[slugly]

[It hits her in the forehead

She catches it, with only a small fumble and wide eyes, looking down at the precious metal. Just gold, he says.]

Doubloons? [She parrots it, testing the word. She would need money to find food, and a place to stay for however long she was--

She holds the coin back out to Sasuke.]

So where exactly are you staying?

BUT HE GOT THE HIT THAT BEAT THE BLOCK?

[thethundersaid]

[LMAO OH NO INSERT FOREHEAD JOKE

The word was weird him when he first learned it, too, but the irritating jingle of coin when he travels into Empieza is something else he's used to by now as well. He waves her off when she holds it back out to him; they'll be looking for more money soon enough.]

I'm on the crew of a ship. The Charming Murderess.

SHOULD PROBABLY StOP COS IM IN GAME NOW LMAO

[slugly]

[I COULD NOT RESIST I ACTUALLY TRIED

There's a flash of gratitude in her expression.]

Th-

[That's a ship name. Really ironic.]

Definitely charming.

WELL yes maybe ;u; good night sweet thread

[thethundersaid]

[VALIANT EFFORT VERY COMMEND

He raises an eyebrow at her response to the name, not quite noticing the irony in belonging to a ship of that name while stashing sharp pointy objects about his person.]

It was the previous captain's choice.

[Pause, then:] We're in need of a medic, if you don't want to spend money on an inn for now.
