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 there’s one thing Mako hated, it’s admitting something that felt like a weakness. Even if it really isn’t one.]

I don’t really know who else is in the same bind. It’s still my first day here, I just jumped on a ship looking for a crew. But I’ll take that shot. My brother would be lost without me.

[Literally. Bolin would probably get lost.]

[The crack in the ground seals itself back up, smoke wafting across their feet the vanishing. Slowly, the world around them shifts back into that of the deck of the ship.]

Then help me convince the rest of your crew.

[Even Mako can’t entirely hide an impressed look at the level of control it must have taken to do the illusion without moving. Of course, he assumes it’s like bending; the body is the catalyst.]

That I can do. [First day, as if they’d listen to him. But the smirk that’s tugging at one end of his lips says otherwise.]

Got a ruby I can break?

[He likes his plans, he really does.]

[forthevillage]

A ruby?

[Itachi frowns, though he sees where Mako is going.] I'm not sure the crew would appreciate me taking something that valuable, nor am I sure it would work as a diversion.

[streetferret]

[He can’t refute that, not when Itachi has experience in this world on his side, he’d know what makes these guys tick.]

There any chance you can make an illusion of your ship being on fire? [Rats leaving a ship; makes sense. Though he’s not sure the extent of the ninja’s prowess.]

[forthevillage]

... I can. Not all genjutsu requires eye contact.

[And most here would probably not know how to break out of it.]

The only problem is that one like that would effect everyone, including my own crew. Still, I suppose that could still cause most to stop fighting in their efforts to avoid the flames.
