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!

That sounds about right.

[Rita must have slipped nearby while Judith was reminiscing.]

It's... I guess it'd be very odd to not have him, given the connection you and he have, huh?

[spearthis]

Oh. Hello, Rita.

[She cranes her neck just so to offer a soft smile in the mage's direction. She sighs in thought, gaze once again trained on the sky.]

It feels almost like a piece of me is missing, so it's definitely strange.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... I get the feeling I'm going to know what that's like in not too long, once we get back home.

[Rita's hand almost reflexively goes to the collar on her neck - the blastia that allowed her to cast spells.]

[spearthis]

[It's for the best, Judith thinks as she watches the girl clasp the blastia around her neck, but she can relate. Blastia has more than shaped Rita's life, so the abrupt absence of something so integral will be absolutely jarring. Pity and remorse briefly flashes across her face, but it's quickly replaced.

Rita is strong, and she doesn't need to be told that everything's going to be all right.]

Once we get back home, I intend to do a little travelling with Ba'ul. [This brings to mind a conversation that they've previously had, but now that the circumstances have changed...] I'll continue to offer it, if it'll continue to help.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

You mean after Tarqaron?

[spearthis]

After we take care of everything, yes. With this we'll be able to stay together, and it won't be as lonely or boring.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It's... Well, I guess it's not all bad?

I mean, magic's still possible even without Blastia. Just... It's going to be a lifetime to figure out how to truly replace them with something based on Mana.

[spearthis]

Well, if you come with me then you might find some answers.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Heh. When we're back and done, I'll probably be right back in Aspio...

[spearthis]

That is where your home is, right?

[Or is her home with them now? Trick question, perhaps.]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Well, I more-or-less own a bed there, so...
