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!

[Said girl lifted her head off of the turtle's shell and looked up at Ace with a deep, soul-searching gaze. By the way, for a woman lost at sea, her lashes were curled and plush while her lipstick was perfect.]

Oh! Oh, captain, dearest me -

Would you have pity on a poor, lost girl?

[Her lip trembled, and fat tears welled up in her eyes.]

Please? ♥

[hiken]

[Ace had never seen plays or movies depicting damsels. He'd met plenty, but he never really read into those situations, either. Instead, he simply leaned a bit more tight against the rail and raised his voice in response.]

...You gonna eat that turtle?

[cherrybombpie]

[Kodachi gasped. That someone would eat her Mr. Blue Alligator? Her precious confidant and current partner-in-crime? That wouldn't do at all!]

[Immediately, she burst into tears, sniffling and flinging herself down onto his back.]

[It might've been just a fragment of one's imagination, but the turtle did seem to sigh just a little.]

No! This turtle saved my life and kept me from drowning a painful, cruel death at the hands of cannibals wearing vending machines as costumes! [Did that even make sense? Ah, well.]

Aren't you going to save me, good sir? If you aren't, then I bid you adieu! [She buried her face in her shoulder and began to sob noisily.]

[hiken]

[All he could do was squint in response. This girl was calling him 'sir' and responding to him with such good manners, he wasn't sure if Makino's teachings would allow him to catch up. Wordlessly, Ace left the railing before returning with the anchor. Though most people would have spat at the notion and demanded a regular rope, Ace knew the anchor would be more stable. He held it at a level so Kodachi could grab it.]

Fine, Fine. I'll just eat somethin' else from the galley, then.

[cherrybombpie]

Thank you, kind sir!

[Kodachi leapt onto the anchor with the dexterity of one who was fighting fit, though she still ensured that her gaze upon her new rescuer was as dewy and waif-like as possible.]

Goodbye, Mr. Blue Alligator! I shall see you soon!

[The large turtle seemed to wave at her before it dove back into the depths.]

Oh, captain, how can I repay you? ♥ [Kodachi looked up at Ace with wide, adoring eyes.]

[hiken]

[Ace, raising his eyebrows as Kodachi sprung up like a gazelle, gave her a look that showed he was clearly a bit weirded out.

Also, a bit disappointed that the turtle got away.]

Ehhh. Well, you could start by telling me who you are.

[cherrybombpie]

I am Kodachi, the Black Rose. Ohohohoho. ♥

[Yes! She was one step closer to commandeering her own ship! Now, to slowly wrap this fellow around her pinky finger . . .]

[She took a step closer before stumbling, sighing dramatically and stumbling into his (hopefully waiting) arms.]

Oh! I feel faint, captain. Oh, dear. Oh!
