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!

Kazari.

[A cat-like smile follows, not that she can see it.]

I'm just helping you learn to ask around more. Can't hurt much.

I did just fine, I got on this boat didn't I?

[Defensive? A little bit. Toph doesn't like to get help, even in a foreign land. It'd be easier if she wasn't on a ship though.

She flops down in the same position she had been in before.]

That doesn't take all that much skill, does it?

[He shouldn't tease her, not if he's trying to make allies, but she's just being so snotty about things.]

How many other crews did you check out first?

[Toph shrugs at him.]

What difference does that make? If I don't like it, I'll just go somewhere else.

True, true.

[He intended to do that himself if this crew didn't work out.]

Still, shouldn't you do a little research first? Unless you were in a hurry.

Research is boring. You sound like Katara. Don't you like a little adventure?

And you sound like someone who rushes into things without thinking.

Adventures can be fun [He guesses...] but if you end up getting yourself into trouble because you didn't take a couple moments to see what you're up against, then it loses the fun factor real quick.

If I can get into trouble, I can get out of it. I like to have fun. Adventures are fun.

[That's really all there is to it. Toph shrugs her shoulders again.]

Overconfidence has brought down many a hero.

But somehow I'm not seeing that as something you really care about. It's my cautious nature. It just doesn't mesh with that sort of attitude.
