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!

At least in theory, yeah.

[wanderer_from_ys]

In theory? Why, how is it actually working out now? *He is not a machine-oriented person, so use small words. XD*

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It's not. I can't make part that are precise enough with the tools we have.

Maybe I need to figure out how to make tools that are precise enough instead...

[wanderer_from_ys]

What kind of tools would you need to make what you want? *He's thinking a hammer and saw probably aren't the way to go.*

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... A lot of them, to say the least. Maybe we'll get lucky on treasure hunts and I can pay a skilled gemsmith in town or something.

[wanderer_from_ys]

So...something really expensive and hard to make. *Because that's a lot of gold you're talking about there.*

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

With the parts around here? Yeah, pretty much.

[wanderer_from_ys]

But if you could make it...that might help us from never getting lost, even in the middle of a hurricane and our compass not working. *That's gold worth spending!*

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

In theory, yeah.

Of course, that's if the entire design works. If it fails... Well, I'd still have finer tools for making other inventions.

[wanderer_from_ys]

Like what? *He's not mechanically minded at all, but now he's just curious.*

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I don't even know yet. The mechanics here are a lot harder to work with, since I can't rely on Blastia or standard formulas.
