Test Drive for February 2014 Apps

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!

[Well, that's just fanfuckingtastic. Shepard is always keeping an eye out, but maybe he does let his guard down a tiny bit when he's on this island because most of the dumbasses here couldn't threaten a fly, but he's obviously ran into someone who can manage a rational thought from time to time.

He's as confident of his close-quarters skills just as much as he is with his lethal aim from miles away. With the black ops training he's had, there's really no worry whatsoever of whether he can twist around and disable his foe without getting shot.

But he does pause because that voice is very familiar.

His hands slowly slide up at his sides, holding in the air so she can see he's empty-handed.]

Doing your own dirty work nowadays, Aria?

[Hah. Of course.

The barrel of the gun presses deeper against his back before it eases away.

She would make more progress working together with him than stealing anything, even she knew that. The gun is holstered, tucked away safely.]

I almost didn't recognize you, Shepard. [She gives him time to turn and face her and her arms are crossed and she's suspicious.]

What are you doing here?

[Face her he does, his own arms crossing since everything with Aria is a powerplay and he does what he can to show her that he's not intimidated even if she had a gun to his back to start this little meeting.]

Getting mugged, I thought.

[She doesn't say anything about that, only decides to correct.]

I'm looking for information. I don't want anybody's cheap treasure.

Knowledge is much more valuable. Although, you are probably worth a pretty credit.

Six billion to be exact.

[A correction of his own. He does have a price tag thanks to the Illusive Man.]

What do you want to know? I'm not exactly as well-connected as I used to be.

[Very pretty. How does that translate here, she wonders. Nobody really knew about him like they did in their universe.]

I want to know where I can find that ruby or whatever the hell it is that takes us home.

[He shifts his weight to his other leg before glancing off to the side as if considering her request for a few moments. Then he turns back to her and shrugs.]

If I knew that, I'd have been out of this dump forever ago.

[Funny. Shepard had every reason to stay on this dumpy world. He got a vacation from fighting the Reapers. If she wasn't so goddamn attached to her station, she might have thought of it that way too.

But she hates it here and she didn't fight through Hell and back for nothing.

There's just silent agreement from her.]

You're probably too comfortable with your own crew to consider joining mine again.

[Except he doesn't see it like that. Vacations aren't his thing, not when so much is at stake.]

Comfort doesn't have anything to do with it. We've been through a lot together. Why don't you join us instead?

[She actually thinks about being a part of his crew because it's Shepard but she doesn't look happy. Not gonna happen.

The objections of the company he keeps hasn't changed because he hasn't changed his company.]

Sharing isn't my strongest suit.

I figured that was true about you.

[He gives another shrug and finally relaxes some. Shepard can understand the type of person Aria is probably better than she realizes. He's good at that with just about everybody he meets which might explain how he's so charismatic. In any case, he doesn't push the issue. Aria does her thing and she does it well. If anything she'll probably find out information faster than his own crew will.]

You'd hate our ship anyways. We attract way too much attention.

I'm not surprised.

[Commander Effing Shepard. He had to be a spectacle in whatever universe he was in. Now when would people start hating her?]

Is it any better than the usual?

I don't have kilometer-tall synthetics trying to step on me, so there's that.

Lucky you.

[Would still rather be on Omega.]

I like to think it's more than luck. You planning on harassing anymore wayward travelers tonight or do you want a drink? The crew is busy and I want to see the locals' faces when an asari walks into the bar.

[If Shepard didn't know anything she doubts she's going to have any more luck herself with this. Typical if you want anything done, you have to do it yourself.

Ugh. The mention of them has her jaw tensing.]

Locals seem to think I'm a 'wicked sea witch' because of my tentacles and magical powers.
