Test Drive for March 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!

Ali was never the type of girl to drink herself into a stupor, so the instant she wakes up in the Town Square, she knows right away that something's up. However, she's also not the type of girl to panic; she has enough resourcefulness to figure out where she is and probably how she got here.

So as quickly as she arrived, Ali finds herself with a map that she's currently reading (Just a little sleight of hand and no one's the wiser). She'll be off to the side, studying that map for a while

Upon waking, Faye rubs the side of her head, pulling all her limbs back from where she was sprawled on the ground. Quickly, she pats her pockets to make sure she has everything. Nothing. But at least she still has her gun. "Huh...?"

Finally registering her surroundings, Faye drags herself to her feet and takes a good look around, "Hey, what in the hell backwards planet is this place?"

So she will proceed to storm about the town, demanding information from any passerby, local or otherwise.

Nami woke with a throbbing headache. She must have drunk too much last night. It was just like the others to get overly excited but it always seemed to rub off on her as well. The rest of the crew wasn't in sight so she decided to leave the tavern and find the others. She didn't notice the differences in the tavern as she slowly makes her way towards the exit.

She had to get back to the Sunny and start figuring out how to get to their next destination. She looked at her logpost for a second hoping it had reset to the next islands pull but her vision blurred when she tried to focus on the small orb. She blinked and headed towards where she last remembered the Sunny, her eyes on the road in front of her and her hand resting on her head.

Everything was dark. After a few moments, the darkness cleared as Alis opened his eyes. The sky above him was a brilliant blue, the sun warm on his skin. It all felt so real.

He got to his feet slowly, dusting any debris from his school uniform. This couldn't be Japan. Everything looked so normal. His brow creasing into a frown, he moved to approach the nearest person to him. "Hey, where am I?"

"My, my what a sight," said a familiar, gentle voice from behind. "It isn't fitting for a navigator to be lost now, is it?"

[A: In Port...]
He wasn’t sure how he ended up here, but dude, it was insane! There were people in a small town and a fountain and crazy shops with no power, and a dock with boats and WHOA. It was like he fell asleep and woke up in a movie. Dude, this was why he needed to NOT eat Pizza at late night and watch bad pirate movies before bed. He should just eat the pizza.

Wait, man, if he ate pizza and watched a SPACE movie, would he be a Ninja in Space? How cool would that be? Floating around in zero G and doing back flips forever. That would be SO cool. But this wasn’t bad either. So far no one really gave him much trouble for being a huge green mutant ninja turtle. He got stared at, but no one screamed.

There was one problem though. He hadn’t found Pizza yet. No PIZZA?! What a horrible place. If he were in space there would be a pizzeria at the end of the universe where you could stop and get anything you wanted on a slice or twelve. Oh man, he was hungry.

Mikey was currently at a small eatery, trying to convince the owner who was trying to serve some lame old soup that he needed to try making pizza. He had to explain it to him, but it was hard to do when the guy didn’t even know what jelly beans were.

Lame! “You know, little candies? You sprinkle them on with anchovies and mushrooms and the taste is totally righteous. It’s like heaven in your mouth, man!” His voice was very... Californian surfer or maybe stoner like. Dragged out words and weird chuckle and all. He smiled and was happy to think about his delicious slice of perfectness. Now if only to have it made. “We can go with something simple, man. Like beef and cheese on tomato sauce. Some veggies too. You got all that, yeah?”

[B: Problems on a random Island]
Booyakasha!!! [Mikey bellowed as he came out of no where, nunchaku spinning on either side of his body, wide feet coming down first. Landing on the back of one rather large turtle shell. Really very large. He’d never seen one the size of a building before. The large girl was in the sand of a beach, laying eggs when several large (though not as large) mutated looking wolves came attacking. The poor girl had a cut on her face, but she was still trying to lay her eggs.]

Don’t touch her, man! This is a magical moment for her!

[his nunchaku changed to his kusarigama, the chain flying out to grab hold of one mutated wolf thing, throwing it up, and over the turtle shell as he slammed it into a second one. He then jumped of, smashing his feet into the head of the third.]

[Who ever was wandering with him when he took off for this would see a turtle defending a turtle in ninja ways. Or, if you are in passing, feel free to join in or speak to him when he’s done. but dude, don’t stare. It;s not polite and this is a Lady over here. She just wants to leave her 3 foot tall eggs man.]

Dudette, he’s been wondering the same thing. What IS this place? Is it on earth still? This is SO not New York.

But yeah, have a five foot something turtle with a orange mask around his eyes catching sight of you. he gave a small whistle from low to high as he saw her. “Bodacious.” he said more to himself than anything. humans were interesting, and this one was pretty badass looking.

He walked towards her, waving a three fingered green hand at her. “Yoo~ Are you local or totally new too?” If all the locals looked like this he might not mind sticking around.

[Michiru does not do 'flustered' very well or very often. In fact, she's standing elegantly by the harbor, seabreeze tousling her hair as she stares out into the open ocean. Honestly, it looks like she's contemplating the mysteries of the universe and definitely not something akin to "why don't they have any yachts? I could sail a yacht."]

A

[So, Coby glowered at his journal, making a face as he read through entries in it. There were weird, seemingly non-contextual things being written in it, all in different hand-writings. When he opened certain pages, he heard people talking out of the surface of it. He slammed the book shut after awhile, frowning at it and pushing his glasses up to his forehead. He was seated on the dried fountain, his legs crossed and his glasses down because he had just been reading.

Since his attention was so set on the journal, he hardly noticed people walking around him. He didn't want to be a pirate. He just wanted to help people, so--as he set his journal aside, Coby began thinking to himself about how he could do that when everyone was going to think of him as an enemy.]

B

[The audible groan that came from Coby as he was confronted with his first pirate attack came solely because he had just finished cleaning the deck. The first pirate who swung over my rope immediately pushed over a barrel of tar--which Coby scrambled to stop from toppling over. He glowered aside to the man who had drawn his sword, reaching up and snatching the sword away by the blade. Coby threw the sword over the rail of the ship while the pirate stared at him, his hand suddenly empty.

When the pirate opted to raise his flintlock towards Coby's face instead, he was thrown across the deck by a solid punch to the face.]

Please, I just cleaned! And, I don't even have shackles to put on you! What am I supposed to do with you when this is all done, anyway?

[Well, here Veronica was, watching from a distance as a giant, walking turtle talked with the owner of the eatery she was just at. And yeah, the soup sucks pretty badly. Not the worst thing she's ever eaten though.

But still, giant, talking turtle. With an surfer accent. Just what kind of world did she end up in anyways?

She briefly questions stepping forward and speaking to the... turtle.

...Well, what else does she have to do today.]

Uh... excuse me? [She spoke a little quietly, a distinctly Japanese accent in her voice.] I don't think they have pizza here.

[The owner guy waved Mikey off shaking his head, to which the turtle looked very sad over.] Come on, buddy. Let be back in that kitchen. I will rock your world!

[but it was a no go. And when someone flagged him down he pouted a bit, looking at the strange girl. He sighed, deeper yet again.]

I know. but I could teach them how and it would be the best thing since... since... sliced pizza! Seriously. I could. I wouldn’t even make a mess of the kitchen!

"Robin?" Nami turned around to face her crewmate, "Who says I'm lost?"

With Robins cue Nami started to look around. She didn't recognize anything. Maybe she was lost after all.

"And yet another of the boy's crew ends up here. Surely, this can't be some sort of massive coincidence," Crocodile said, piping up from behind Nami as she walked, "What was your name, again? Ah, yes. Nami. The navigator, if I'm not mistaken."

He paused to blow out a long trail of smoke, taking his sweet time.

"I'm sure the fool will be more than ecstatic."

"Nice moves, swiping that map." A voice calls out from somewhere. It's not easy to say where exactly it's from.

[Veronica questioned whether or not she should say that they probably didn't have the right ingredients, plus the kitchens were probably already a mess since this seemed to be some kind of rural pirate town.

But she doesn't want to crush his dreams that badly.]

Well, pizza is kind of complicated, isn't it? What if they don't have all the ingredients and stuff?

"Crocodile!?" Nami took a surprised step back instantly on guard, her clima tact suddenly in her hands. It has improved since last they met.

"What are you doing here?"

Nami looked pass Crocodile, keeping him in sight, and quickly surveyed around her. She realized she wasn't where she had fallen asleep but that seemed less important than the person in front of her.

[What? No way! He came over, taking a seat near her and looking surprised at her]

No way! It's not complicated at all. If you can make bread or dough for one of their really bad pot pies, you can make a pizza like crust! And toppings? Anything. Seriously, you haven't lived till you try pizza with grape jelly and chicken. Super good!

"The same as you, taking a walk," he said snidely, taking another deep drag of his cigar, "Just arrived, have you? Oh, how confusing it must be for you. Perhaps you'd better take stock of what you arrived with, woman."

[...Wow, excuse her and she tries to not imagine what that tastes like.]

You... you really like pizza don't you?

[tastes like dreams and magic, man.]

[He grinned, getting all happy faced about this.]

It's just the best tasting thing ever. So much better then worms and algae. Pizza in any form is perfect. [a pause...] Don't you like pizza?

Excuse her face, but Faye seemed to think that she's bumped her head to hard. She waved a hand too, but more to check that she was seeing straight. The giant turtle is talking to her, and in a language she understands, so at least that's something. "I'm..."totally new too." But look, what are you and what planet are we on?"

[Wow... you're really into this. Just what was in those pizzas exactly.]

W-well, yeah I guess? It's nice to eat sometimes.

...You ear worms and algae, huh? I guess that makes sense, given that you're a... turtle.

Nami lets her guard fall, if only a little, and looks at what she has on her. From his reaction, people appearing here was a common occurrence. She had the usual things she took with her when she left the ship except...

"ITS GONE!!! How am I going to replace all that!"

All the berri she had brought with her from the ship had vanished. It couldn't have been stolen. She would have known if it was.

"I think you'll find you have new currency. The book, as well."

Nami took notice of the book but then focused on the money. She pulled out what she assumed was this new currency.

"What is this?!" Her heart sank a little thinking of the gold she had stashed on the Sunny. Really hoping that Luffy wouldn't find it while she was absent.
