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!

omg i'm telling mom

[obstinates]

[His grin starts to return.]

It'd be easy enough. Just make enough clones that there's no room on the ship anymore since you say there isn't much space already.

NOOOooo wait who's mom

[thethundersaid]

[He raises an eyebrow, supremely unimpressed by the strategy:] Not everyone on board can walk on the water.

IDEK MAN IDEK

[obstinates]

Then I'd just make extra clones to carry them.

[Because clones fix everything. Don't hate because you don't use them, bro.]

well DON'T TELL MYSTERY MOM PLEASE

[thethundersaid]

For what purpose? To prove that once again, you have to multiple yourself to handle one of me?

since you asked so nicely

[obstinates]

[His face turns slightly red from frustration.]

I only need me, dammit. More is just unfair for you I guess.

;w; saved from mom-wrath

[thethundersaid]

That's not what you said a minute ago.

[obstinates]

[Goddammit, Sasuke really can press his buttons better than anyone.]









... Shut up.

[thethundersaid]

[-- it's a worth a try:]

If you leave this spot, you won't have to hear me.

[obstinates]

[Tempting, but even if he's pissed, he's not going to run off that easily. Even if Sasuke frustrates the hell out of him, he has a sneaking suspicion he annoys Sasuke even more than that. Besides, maybe if Sasuke hangs around him and Sakura enough, he'll get more like he used to be!

That's Naruto's logic since they're at least past the point where Sasuke wants to kill them all.]

It's my turn on watch, so I guess I'll just deal with it.

[thethundersaid]

[He can feel the urge to give in to an irritated sigh building, enough that he inhales for it before getting hold of himself again and controlling the exhale.]

We don't need two people on watch. [Trying to sound reasonable after spending the past few minutes trying to insult Naruto out of his space is maybe a lost cause, but Sasuke has only so many square meters of space and he needs to trim his temper to them. Or at least try.]

The biggest attack we've had at sea was a breeze and some flowers, anyway.

[obstinates]

Sounds like a wimpy attack.

[Pffft, breeze and some flowers? Sounds like something Ino would dream up. Then again, Naruto doesn't really wanna piss off any of the girls since he knows personally how hard some of them hit.]

If we don't need two people, you can go do somethin' else, y'know.

[thethundersaid]

Yes, which means since that's all we've had, you're not needed up here. [The aggravation in his voice is real, even if he fully expects Naruto to shrug off the (very definitely legitimate) reasoning.]

You can just go down and replace one of your clones.

[obstinates]

[Naruto either misses the aggravation or ignores it completely. He doesn't make it obvious which is true since he just keeps his posture relaxed with his hands behind his head.]

You can go replace one of my clones if it means that much to you.

[thethundersaid]

I've already done my chore rotation -- [Damn it, how does he get reduced to a complaining genin this quickly? The sigh escaping this time, Sasuke steps out of the crow's nest and onto the spar itself instead, stalking to the end of it and sitting with a definite air of determining to ignore Naruto completely.

He has to leave eventually. Naruto actually likes company, doesn't he?]

[obstinates]

[Naruto somehow holds his snickering back at Sasuke's sigh. Even if it doesn't take much for the Uchiha to get under his skin, he's glad to see he can do just as good a job at harassing Sasuke as well.

Once Sasuke sits at the edge of the spar, Naruto makes some faces at the back of his head before stopping and staring for a moment. There's silence for awhile before he finally grins widely.]

Hey, I'm glad you came up here even if you are an asshole, y'know.

[thethundersaid]

[Or break the silence. Sasuke should have expected that as the alternative -- though what Naruto actually says checks his instinctive snapped response early, making him blink with surprise out at the ocean. He can feel Naruto's gaze, can guess what kind of dumb expression is there, and contemplates not answering such a contradictory statement before deciding that ignoring it would likely just lead to more:]

Your reasoning lacks logic.
