Test Drive for February 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!

A little black pig sitting next to a gas-burner with a kettle propped over it? This was definitely sorcery of the adorable kind. P-chan regarded Robert with a deadpanned look--or a look as deadpanned as a piglet could offer.

[theresevilinit]

His eyes widened in horror at the sight of the little black hog. It was bad luck to even say the word pig or let one cross your path.

"What are you doing here, ya little curly tail?" He asked. The little fellow appeared to be in a dangerous position. It was horrible enough that it was on board. Killing one would bring even creature misfortune. Also, it was a cute little creature, though he would never admit to that opinion.

The gruff, scarred man made a grab to pull it away from the burner.

[manlionpig]

Squealing angrily, P-chan jumped back a few inches and squealed at Robert. He wasn't interested in finding another bit of water to boil and didn't want to set up his rig a second time, so there he was--being a jerk.

Instead of trying to dissuade him by pulling the 'smart pig' routine, he went straight for the aggressive!

[theresevilinit]

He was expecting some type of attack from a frightened animal, but P-chan was too quick for him. He failed to grab the little guy. He couldn't tell what he tripped over but he barely managed to avoid burning himself. It almost proved the curse.

At least it wouldn't burn itself while attacking him.

[manlionpig]

The piglet slowly took steps back to the gas stove, eying Robert with a measure of madness. The deviled ham stepped sideways, much like a predator ready to pounce.

And then when he heard the kettle go off, he jumped and kicked the side of it, getting hot water all over himself--to which Ryoga stood up out of the steam, arms crossed tightly.

"Hey, what's the big idea!? Was I botherin' you!?"

[theresevilinit]

Despite Ryoga's anger, the change calmed him.This was not a real pig, but a transformed human. He was reminded of the time fairy magic had a similar effect on Michael. He understood why the lad would want to keep his condition a secret.

"How was I supposed to know you was cursed?"

If only he had his almanac with him. It would have given him some insight on how to help Ryoga.
