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!

It was such a Larrikin-esque gesture that Skulduggery had to laugh, his head tilting forward in an admittance of Descry's point. An admittance, of course, that didn't stop him from arguing. "Or," he said, "if I can offer up an opposing theory, maybe the people I currently associate with recognise my genius enough not to try and burst it."

He had saved the world no less than seven times, after all. And that wasn't including all the minor arrests of evil people who could certainly have gone on to threaten the entire planet, if he hadn't put an early stop to their ambitions. Maybe people were just finally starting to listen to him.

"Just because they recognise your genius doesn't mean they can't burst your head," Descry pointed out. "Especially if they want to try and gain some themselves. Why wouldn't they burst your head? Maybe it would carry some of the genius over. And at the very least it would be entertaining."

They were coming to the edge of the town now, close enough to the woods that the buildings began to peter out into dusty road. Descry hadn't really meant to ask anything specific, at least not at this point, but there was still one thing Skulduggery hadn't explained. "Who is Valkyrie?"

"You have a very disturbing definition of 'entertaining,'" Skulduggery informed him.

As well as an interesting opinion about how the world worked. Skulduggery had been around plenty of people trying to take him down a peg for years. None of them had become geniuses.

"My new partner," he answered, and not without a hint of pride. "Valkyrie Cain. One of the most stubborn people I know, and I knew you. She still has a long way to go, but she matches me stride for stride, and that's more than many can say."
