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!

If you don't like it, you can join the Navy. They're gonna need the help before too long.

[he casually sips at his rum, not really caring one way or the other. It's up to people to follow their own consciences, after all]

I would rather try to make my way home with the least chance of being killed, if it's all the same.

[If they attacked newcomers onsight.]

Besides, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage.

Arms heal. [says the guy with only one eye] The only way home that I know of us is the stone shards, and everybody's looking for those. Pick a crew you can get along with and you'll be as unlucky as the rest of us.

[Arms heal, but the scars don't... He grunts, shifting.]

I was in the middle of something important back home. Guess I've got no choice.

[yourotherleft]

We all were. Are. Whatever. No, there's not much choice.

[oldmanstriker]

I'm not drinking rum... [He downs his glass.] ...Unless it's Bundaberg's. Not going to ruin the one taste I remember from home.

[That's an admission that he's willing to do this pirating thing...]

[yourotherleft]

Good stuff? [now this, he can get behind] I usually prefer sake. But the rum here isn't too shitty.

[oldmanstriker]

Have enough of it and you won't be able to taste the next day until your tastebuds grow back.

['good' is a matter of opinion.]

[yourotherleft]

Sounds like my kind of rum.

[shame they don't have any!]

[oldmanstriker]

[A real shame, because he could do with some right now.]

Can't get better than Australia for brewing stuff that'll kill ya.
