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!

Gakupo Kamui (General) | Vocaloid

[thepurpleway]

[As he looks around the Town Square in confusion, Gakupo can't help but think...]

I don't remember there being a music video for this time period in the schedule. [He crosses his arms, trying to go through his schedule saved in his memory bank.] We did this ages ago, anyway!

[The only video he really disliked doing...]

And where are the costumes? [He looks down at his own clothing, knowing that he stuck out.] I hope I don't have to buy one with my own money.

Gag Reel! Nu-13 | BlazBlue

[valleyandsea]

[A]

[Waking up in a strange place? Pffft, who gives a shit about that. That wasn't going to stop this...apparently transparent young girl from finding her beloved captain, no sir! She would wander around this entire island if it meant finding Captain Ragna. And nobody was gonna stand in her way!]

Yoo-hoo, Captain Ragna! Where did you, like, go?

[And when I say nobody

I MEAN η͓̖̞͊̅ͦ͐σ̟̘̖ͯ̑̑̊͠в̤̲͚̮͖͕̈́ͮ̑̓ͦ̓͆̕σ͚∂͙̳̮̣͔̭̬͒́̚ү̙̤̺̘͍̞͔͋ ͈͉͚͉̫]



[B]

[Okay so. After finding or not finding Ragna, she had decided that going on a ship was a good idea. If she found the one he was on? She was joining that one. If not? Well then some random ship now has an equally random ghost valley pirate on their side.]

Uh...like, ahoy and junk, mateys?! We be under attack.

[Oh, and now there were canons firing on the ship. So there's that.]

Allegro Nantabile Cantabile | Code of Princess

[level99sage]

Day five of Allegro's Impromptu Seaside Tour!

I'm still stuck at the same venue since the ship I stowed away on chartered set sail without me. I'm sure they'll come back any time, now! Surely they just went to resupply, but in the meantime I'll just sit back and enjoy paradi-

[Abruptly it switches to voice-]

Oh who am I kidding?! I'm stranded and I'm going to shrivel up and die here on this deserted island! How dare they say my music's terrible!!

[The elf sighs heavily, strumming a few chords on his guitar.]

...well, if this is the end, then I should at least compose one last song.

[thepurpleway]

[The jolt from the canons firing was a big clue!]

No kidding! [Gakupo is on raising-the-sails duty, and with the bit of extra strength he has, it's getting done quickly.] Mind doing something more helpful?

[thepurpleway]

[Already pinged by the mention of music and he hasn't been around for a day!]

A fellow musician equally stranded in this weird place! Excellent! [Well, not excellent, but hey, it could be less so!]

[level99sage]

[OOOHMIGOSH VOICES- no wait.]

Not my choice of words, but- wait, do you mean you're not from around this place either?

[thepurpleway]

Ah, I'm...thirty percent certain. [A pause] Make that twenty-five!

[level99sage]

What, that's it?

Cairistiona Vyeth-Sunstriker | World of Warcraft (OC)

[honorofkings]

A

[ The last thing Cairistiona remembered was talking to a few of her officers at the Cathedral of Light. Beyond that, Cairistiona wasn't too sure how she ended up at the town square of all places. Shouldn't she be at home with her children? ]

...Oh, my. I don't think we're in Stormwind anymore.

[ This paladin is dressed in a full suit of armor with a mace hanging at her hip. On her back is a long cape, but what might attract attention is the mere size of her shield, enough to take up her entire back.

She looked around for any faces before trying to flag your character down. ]

Er, hello! Could you tell me where I am?

B

[ Somehow, the ship she was on was under attack. Well, that's honestly nothing new to her. So, while the opposing crew was busy, Cairistiona joined in to the fray by blocking swords with her shield. ]

...You may want to duck.

[ Like that, the paladin effortlessly flings that massive shield like it's a boomerang with a small grunt. It causes some of the wood off of the ship to be taken along with it, but Cairi catches it once its' done spinning. ]

That wasn't so bad...

[thepurpleway]

Were you expecting less?

[thepurpleway]

[Wow, she seems pretty ready for battle...]

Don't you mean Kansas? [Despite her appearance and obvious state of not knowing where she was, that was the most important reply in response to her previous statement. If she's going to be lost, she should at least use the right phrase!]

Re: Allegro Nantabile Cantabile | Code of Princess

[song_princess]

How could one's music be terrible?

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

[Oh great, another whiner. Just what they need to hear over the jour-

...wait a minute, she knows that whine...

...!!!

Is that-]

Allegro? Is that you?

[level99sage]

More, actually. Do you know how you got here?

[level99sage]

I know! Some people just don't appreciate good music when they hear it!

[thepurpleway]

Not really. I may have been in sleep mode if I ran out of power or something.

[He hums.]

Maybe I should run a diagnostics check...

Do you know how you got here?

[honorofkings]

[ A small blink behind her helmet. ]

What's a Kansas, sir? [ Nope, she's not sure what you're talking about, but at least she's willing to learn about this Kansas if it's vital to surviving in this strange place. ]

[Voice]

[level99sage]

[His strumming goes slightly off key at that, twanging to a stop.]

Either the sun's getting to me or I coulda sworn-

Zozo?

[thepurpleway]

It's some place in America. They have a lot of tornadoes and rainbows, I heard. [He shrugs] It's not really important.

As for your question, I have no clue where this place is. I can tell it's definitely not Japan. Maybe it's somewhere in Europe.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

So it is you.

[Welp, that's a relief. Sorta.]

You okay?

[level99sage]

A dia-whadda?

I woke up by some...fountain thing? In a town I'd never seen before, and no one seems to have heard of the Kingdom of DeLuxia, or monster attacks...! I thought I was dreaming- but then I almost got run over by a cart!

[Voice]

[level99sage]

Much better now!! If you're here, then I can't be lost after all! Where are you? No doubt missing your beloved sage and bard! Is everyone else with you?

[honorofkings]

[ There's more weird locations given to her. As far as she knew, there was no America, Japan or Europe in Azeroth. So, at least that meant that maybe she wasn't on Azeroth, even if the buildings may say otherwise. ]

So, I suppose if I asked you if we were in Azeroth, you wouldn't know that either.

[ Well, there was no time to be worrying about that. She knew her efforts were better spent staying calm and thinking this through. ]

Anyway... I'm Cairistiona Vyeth-Sunstriker, sir. It's a pleasure.

[song_princess]

That is a shame, my lord... Music is one of the greatest ever given to us mortals.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

Well, I'm not here here, like right next to you, but I'm in the same world. So there's that.

[Hopefully he'd get the implication.]

And...not that I know of? Last time I checked I was the only one.
