Test Drive for September 2013 Apps

[highseasmods]

Welcome to our first Test Drive for high_seas! Here is where players can test out their characters' voices, 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!

I doubt it came with us. If it did, there'd probably be more of us around—

[Stops.

Pauses.

REALIZES.]

Nami-san and Robin-chan! Are they here??! What if they're not?! AM I JUST GOING TO BE STUCK WITH YOU?

[howtempting]

[And so they come, like moths to a flame. Ahri just can't turn off her swag. Being a predator is easy when the prey thinks it's hunting you.]

Oh my. Sounds like the secret's out, Mr. Admirer. Tell me another one. [and she laughed]

[soundandfurry]

Well... Do you ever wonder why the moon has such an effect on youkai like me?

[deathsought]

[ Zeref smiled. Perfect. That's just what he wanted to hear. That black magic swirling around him was no longer there; now, the energy swirling around him was purple, a sign of Living Magic. ]

If this fight isn't over in ten minutes, those cannonballs will become my newest creation.

[ A huge demon made of sulphur will certainly scare them off, assuming it doesn't crush the entire ship beneath its fist. Mavis made him swear that he won't use Death Magic unless it is literally a life or death situation. She never said anything about Living Magic. ]

[infinitime_loop]

[ Homura's face goes completely blank. From the future? ]

Madoka Kaname. You... you didn't...

[serving_love]

[Would be too busy nosebleeding everywhere to ever eat a mermaid, NO WORRIES.]

...Some nice-looking human person.

[Suddenly eyeing the guy behind the fish stall dangerously.]

That nice-looking human person?

[seakingbait]

[She smiles.]

Yep! That's him!

[howtempting]

Is that so? Far be it from me to question your authority on the matter, but what exactly is it you do for fun in Demacia?

My lips are sealed. No one will find out if you don't make your bed in the morning.

[bydesign]

Everything is much better than you're expecting. I... [ she's about to say 'I promise,' but then again, the whole erased-from-history thing isn't exactly a good point.

So instead: ]

I made a really good wish.

[silvergoldengun]

[ Oh, hello little miss~ ]

Do you sell anything interesting?

[redcinemareel]

What could possibly be more exciting than spiriting away a girl's heart, my rogue?

[Ah, a small taste of what's to come. Grell smiles at the action.] A rogue indeed.

A picnic would be divine, yet we seem to be a bit lacking. [She looks up to him with a light headtilt.]

[finalesfunkeln]

There are games, events, festivals - the same as any other place. [ only better. ] Demacians may be hard-working but that doesn't mean we go without fun!

... I did make my bed, though.

Dinah | Bizenghast/Riddle Road

[collectedherprotection]

A: Town Square
[She stands there, hip cocked to one side and arms crossed, staring at the broken down fountain.]

This sure does bring back memories.

[And frankly they're not pleasant ones. But she knows there are more pressing matters at hand, like figuring out how she got here and where "here" was. Or even how hard it would be to get some clothes that wouldn't make her stand out so much. Jeans and an ill fitting t-shirt (that was probably from her friend Vincent, not that he'll be getting it back now) certainly didn't seem like the hot outfit for Fall. Or Spring. Or whatever season it is. Unsure of the best way to get started, she's still standing there taking in the surroundings.]


B: Settled In
[Above a general goods store Dinah is getting settled in for another day at her clothing store and seamstress headquarters. There's not a whole lot on display quite yet, but when you're forced to hand sew everything it takes quite a bit longer. For now two simple shirts and a dress are on crude dress forms in the front window, a decent collection of fabric is organized on the shelves on the back wall, and Wherever Stitching is open for business.]

[silvergoldengun]

[ Ah, how amusing.

He drops down on the raft, a rope in a hand so the ship won't leave without him. He told them he would check out whoever this was, after all. Not that he'd go down for a bit of entertainment. ]

Would you be waiting for the tree to start to dance as well?

[farther]

That's good. I don't know how helpful I could be in that situation.

[she brings out a canteen of water and holds it out to him.] A small boat, half a mile South. It could take us both and one other.

Are you the only one here?

[serving_love]

Yeah? Hell, I'm not gonna say no to that.

[Steps out of the way and makes a 'have at it' gesture to the stand.]

Your Luffy's brother, guess you won't have any problem eating it all.

[celestial_wizard]

[ With Pyxsis following behind her with short hops and wings flapping once or twice, Lucy drew near to Kyouka's table, where she tapped gently upon the wood. ]

Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but I have a question.

1/2

[infinitime_loop]

[ No. No, no, no, no- not after Kyuubey just told her that it was all her fault that Madoka has only grown more powerful as a magical girl, not after everything- it doesn't matter how good a wish it was, it isn't worth- ]

[redcinemareel]

Yes, in the ocean.

[Really, that's something for her navigator to record for the rest of the crew to know.]

Do you have a point, darling?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy watched the other man warily for a few minutes, then glanced towards Aries. ]

Let some of the cannonballs out - we can use them if we need to return fire.

[ Then, back to Zeref, wary. ]

What are you going to do with them anyway? [ Maybe she should call on Sagittarius. He could find the weakpoint in the ship's gun and disable it - she was sure of it. ]

2/2

[infinitime_loop]

[ There's a flash of light as a slightly wild-eyed Homura summons her Puella Magi costume, and she immediately makes a grab for her shield the moment it comes into existence, forgetting that she CAN'T reset the timeline in this world ]

[howtempting]

It's personal. [Ahri sounds almost defensive. Just a momentary lapse of charisma, don't worry its back up.]

A girl has to have her secrets. You understand, don't you?

[serving_love]

[Smart move, asking him cooking questions. He can't not answer.]

Ain't ever had that type of fish before so I can't say for sure, but I had a white wine, dijon mustard recipe in mind. Probably throw in some lemon—oi, stop being so fucking tall!

[Because no, Sanji is NOT going to look like a fool and try jumping to get that fish. For now he's retreated back and has his hands shoved angrily in his pockets, glowering away. Though he's tapping the toe of his shoe against the ground in a warning kind of way.]

[redcinemareel]

There is still a future, of course. [She would definitely keep an eye on Ashura. Even if it wasn't tried, doesn't mean it won't happen. Grell just shrugs, waving her hand haphazardly.]

Let's just find something worth taking back.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Don't you think I did? I'm just... Don't you need to eat twice as much in high altitudes or cold environments to stay warm?
