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!

Cupcakes are sweet and delicious and they make everyone happy!

[allendsmeat]

It means hi. [he peers curiously] What are you doing?

[echo_of_light]

[Old...

Kurt laughs a little, rubbing his neck.]

I'm not exactly old, you know.

[As to the question...]

Some hours, but nothing longer than that. I've just been trying to gather information.

[hearts_beat]

[No, the captain's the white cat dancing on the steering wheel. Either way, Ellen's gonna let out a sigh and shake her head.]

You've done more than enough so far. Why don't you take a small break, huh?

1/2

[allendsmeat]

Everywhere! I've been looking for everyone! [he doesn't want to let you go but he'll scoot around, arms stretching more around Robin's waist] Your hair got long!

[allendsmeat]

[and then....]

...Oi, Robin... How long have you been here?

[rikuheyriku]

Coooool!

[He genuinely means that response, too. Wait. 'More importantly'? How could anything be more important than being something as amazing as a person made of rubber?! Oh, well. This guy would probably tell him more about it, after he is fed! With that, Sora points over to a barrel of fruit. It's nothing special, but he plans on buying more food once he gets back to town.]

Help yourself! [He grins.]

[inthespians]

[Oh he notices her ... and the theft, too. Always quick on his feet, Zidane tails her through the crowd and catches up, slowing his pace to match hers when he does so.]

Hey, you're pretty skilled!

[pompokolin]

[Mamizou's more of an omnivore by nature, but even she gets sick of the same food all the time.] It would help to have something else to eat, wouldn't it...

[chocolateparfait]

I'd be more wary of the ones who are honest all the time, they'd be more likely to catch you off guard.

[ She shakes her head, then points directly up. ]

Space. Captain of The Barbarossa's daughter, Chiaki Kurihara. If he ever passed I was to take over the Barbarossa, though I did receive the same training as Captain Marika of the Bentenmaru and have experience pirating.

hope this is okay >>

[allendsmeat]

[there is a hand in his pocket]

Oi!

[you better not steal his rock!]

Dustin Brooks | Power Rangers Ninja Storm

[windyellow]

[A. New To the World.] Dustin has just arrived in the Town Square. Be sure to greet him and to gawk at his unusal clothes and device on his wrist. (a black leather outfit with yellow stripes on the side.)

[B. Lost at Sea.] Dustin is lost on an abandoned island without his crewmates. Help him out?

[justicereigns]

[A head tilt.]

[He's already thinking of Aokiji Kuzan, gone hobo justice wanderer sailing on a penguin One Piece please, but still, it deserves asking.]

How does that work exactly?

[soundandfurry]

-What? Okay, so that was really awesome to hear, as her ego always needed a good stroke, but now wasn't the best time for it! She was quick to duck into an alley, leaping for a clothes line and using it to propel herself further upward.-

[soundandfurry]

Something to hunt~

[elementofcupcakes]

OOOOOOOOOOH. Yeah, that makes more sense!

See, I'm better at singing!

[CLEARS HER THROAT]

There once was a foal name Mickey,
Who jumped in the air in a quickie.
When his eye fell on a seabeast fair~
Where he runs to who knows where~!

[allendsmeat]

Thanks a lot! [Food is food is food. Unless it's vegetables. He hopes over and pries off the top of the barrel] Hooo! This looks tasty! [and as he chows down on an apple.] Who are you?

zeref ☠ fairy tail

[deathsought]

[ 1 - Shipmates ]



[ Where does one go when they are stuck on a ship with people whom they are afraid to harm? Where else but the cargo hold. Zeref had set himself up with a hammock between two support beams near the stern the ship, where he won't bother anybody. He hopes that the fact that because the wood of the ship is already dead (by virtue of having to have been cut down), the Death Preying won't harm his crewmates.

On the bright side? This ship won't have any problems with rats, roaches, or termites. ]

Please, don't come closer.

[ Zeref says as the door opens. He goes to his end of the cargo hold, and sits down on his hammock. He's used to sleeping against trees. To him, that's comfortable. ]

Okay. Come in.

[ Hopefully, it won't be long. ]

[ 2 - PIRATE ATTACK! ]



[ It's big. It looks to be the size of a Spanish Galleon, nearly thirty cannons on all sides. They haven't fired yet, thankfully, and it's a black flag; they're offering them a chance to surrender, now that the broad side was facing their own bow. A death sentence for most ships... but most ships weren't carrying the Black Wizard. ]

Move.

[ Zeref says quietly. His eyes aren't their usual iris-less black; they were now bright red, with small, black circles surrounding the pupils. His voice also wasn't its usual sad, apologetic, melancholy tone; it was a low, guttural snarl. Every step he took towards the bow, black energy began swirling around him. This place had weakened his magic, certainly - his Death Magic could no longer go through walls, though the wood of a ship's hull could quickly become rotten if continually exposed to it - but he could sure as hell wipe a deck clean of men with one spell if given a clear shot.

Standing at the bow, the magic swirling around him began swirling even more, eventually forming a massive sphere of unstable, entropic energy. He began moving his arms in a circular motion, and the magic began forming a more coherent shape; a pillar of sorts.

Fairy Tail, if you're on this ship... you better do something. ]

You won't harm Natsu's friends. [ His hands meet at the wrists. ] I don't know how many people have died or suffered because of you... but I'll grant you the peace I've never had. Repent.

[elementofcupcakes]

I hope so! Making a party line is more fun with lotsa company!

[totallynotanyancat]

And there's always people we can invite once we settle into port!

[justguidelines]

[Well, he can say what he wants. It sounds a helluva lot like Tia Dalma's differentiation between Jack's 'body and soul taken' and his own 'mostly dead'.]

There is such a thing as messing with fate, mate.

[gettinglucky]

Hmm, there's a difference between 'honest with secrets' and 'honest because they're completely naive'. It's easy to tell with some people, harder with others.

Barbarossa... that name does sound familiar, but I'm afraid I'm lost. Space travel isn't possible, after all. At least, not terribly far.

[justicereigns]

Smoker pauses.

Thinks that over.

God damn it.

He misses the Gold Roger, of all the bars in all the seas...

He shoves his mug forward and rests his forehead on the bar. "Great. Just fantastic." Half of him doesn't even care anymore.

[allendsmeat]

"Really?" He cocks his head. "Fishmen are pirates, too. And giants. And everyone on my world I think. There's probably even mermaid pirates." Would Keimi count? Maybe not. But maybe she would one day! He really liked her.

Choice A

[work_undone]

[The Kid hoisted his (somewhat oversized) hammer over his shoulder as he sized up the oncoming storm. He wasn't one to complain about his work, but all things considered, he'd rather not have to patch up the ship again.]

[He piped up in a casual drawl]

Uh, Cap'n. I think maybe we should try'n avoid the storm if it's all th' same to you.

[He glances back at the main sails. They're going to be catching a lot wind if they don't change course quickly enough]

Or at least take in somma th' sails.
