Test Drive for September 2013 Apps

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!

[Sitting on the fountain ledge in the town square, deep in thought trying to calculate his new exact location based on the movement of the sun, and assessing any cultural clues around him...when he his train of thought is broken by a sudden familiar voice.]

[He quickly stands up and responds probably over-enthusiastically.]

Makoto-senpai?!

[ He quickly turns around when he hears his name and sees a familiar face! Almost immediately, most of his worries are washed away!

...until he realizes that his worries are washed away in the ocean which is kind of a scary thought so then some of them come back. However, not enough of them to mask his excitement and comfort of seeing his friend and he runs over to him! ]

Rei! You're here too?? Are you all right?

[Takes a deep, cleansing breath, not realizing he was so anxious in his new surroundings until hearing his friend's greeting.]

Makoto-senpai. I seem to be physically well. However, my calculations as to where we are have not made any sense.

[Also has a rumbly stomach, but he ignores it]

[ He looks around as well, a confused expression on his face. ]

Your calculations...?

[ Oh Rei, you and your calculations. He's going to shake his head at you and not mask his expression in the least but he'll keep any judging words to himself. ]

So you have no idea where we are either?

Not in the slightest. This place is not beautiful at all.

[frowns slightly, looking around at all the old cobblestone buildings and not-so-friendly looking people]

Do you think the others are here? Perhaps if we set up some kind of smoke signal they could see it! But I guess in a town square that isn't the most logical choice. There is this fountain [gestures to it], maybe Haruka-senpai will be drawn here by the sound of the water.

[ It's definitely comforting to him to listen to the familiar sound of Rei being such a spaz. He smiles lightly and nods. ]

It's probably better if we don't start a fire in the middle of the town.

[ Glances over at the fountain and lets out a defeated laugh, fondly thinking of Haru in the fountain swimming around in a circle like a Betta Fish. What a weirdo. ]

That would be a likely spot to find him. And if you're here, the others are probably here too!

[Looks back to Makoto with a sudden idea]

Maybe I can sit on your shoulders and we can see if there is anything worth exploring outside of this square!

[ Well, he kind of wanted to check the fountain first but--

Is this guy serious? ]

[ Oh Rei. You rapscallion.

He's going to try to completely shut down your idea while not making you feel like a total fool. ]

I don't think we'll be able to see over the buildings with just the two of us...

Then I'm out of ideas. Unless we just asked someone.

[Feels his stomach rumble again]

And maybe get some food.

Are you hungry? [ HIS FRIEND'S PHYSICAL WELLBEING IS IMPORTANT TO HIM.

Makoto looks around. ]

I bet we could find something here for you to have. Do you still want to stand on my shoulders to look around this area?

N-no, of course not. I ate before I got here!

[Doesn't even really know how long ago that was...seeing how it was in another...continent/country/universe??? The calculations here are mind boggling.]

[Quickly changing subject]

Let's just explore. Maybe there is a pool around where we will find Haruka-senpai.

[ He could have sworn he heard Rei's stomach growl and he could have also sworn that Rei suggested finding food and now the way he was acting was not really making sense! ]

Are you sure?

[ However, he couldn't pursue Rei's wishy-washy starvation for too long considering the topic of finding Haru had been brought to the table again. ]

There is still that fountain over there and the beach is right down that way. [ He pointed off to where the ocean obviously was. ]

If he's here, he's probably already found a place to swim... [ Said SO fondly with a hint of "OH HARU". ]

Beach...? [Clearly didn't even realize this was an island or even coastal.]

Of course! Let's check there, first! You know Haruka-senpai so well, he will for sure be there.

[ He nods and gestures for Rei to follow him. He had been at the ocean earlier but he decided to relocate himself for obvious reasons. However, if it was a matter of finding friends, Makoto could deal for the time being! ]

We'll probably find a pile of his clothes before we find him...

[ Sigh. Haru is so dumb. He's probably freezing to death too. And once he gets to shore, he won't have a towel or anything to change back into and then he'll get sick again! UGH!!

Suddenly, finding Haru was slightly more dire. ]

I hope he's not too cold where ever he is...

[Definitely picks up on the sudden increase in urgency of Makoto's tone]

I'm sure he'll be fine. Wind speeds are low currently, the sky is clear, and I'm sure these waters aren't shark infested or anything... [Trying to reassure Makoto, really!]

He could even be with Nagisa already. [Pushes up his glasses and follows Makoto]

[ Even thinking about the potential of sharks in the ocean leaves Makoto an even more uneasy feeling. Especially thinking about Haru out there... ]

You're right. They'd keep each other safe, I'm sure.

[ HIS WORDS ARE EMPTY AND MEANINGLESS BECAUSE NOW HE IS THINKING OF TWO OF HIS FRIENDS GETTING SWALLOWED BY THE OCEAN.

Slightly increased pace. ]

[Okay, maybe that was a mistake...]

Maybe he isn't even here at all! Makoto-senpai, are you okay? [Almost jogging to keep up with him now] [Maybe he should really just shut up]

[ Makoto stopped dead in his tracks and turned to Rei, smiling OF COURSE. ]

I'm fine, Rei, don't worry. I was so happy to see you, I guess I got a little carried away in thinking the others were here as well. We don't need to go so fast, I'm sorry. If Haru is really swimming, he probably won't want to be bothered until he's done, right?

[stop and raises an eyebrow at his smile, not completely buying it]

He'd definitely turn back before dark, at least. He wouldn't go out too far alone, anyway, I think.

[Something catches his eye a bit in the distance, a piece of cloth hanging from a bush further along the trail towards the beach] Hmm...

[ He's such a liar.

His eye catches the piece of cloth too once he sees Rei look at it.

DANGER SENSE TINGLING. ]

Hey Rei, I don't think we need to look at that...hahaha...we can see it from here...

[ Is such a wuss. ]

[Pushes past Makoto towards the cloth]

It could be anyone's. [Putting on brave face]

[Picks up the black cloth by the corner, as it unfurls itself, half of a white skull jolly roger is printed on the fabric, the other half clearly burned away from some pirate battle]

[Realizing what this is, the color drains from his face and he suddenly wishes he had his kickboard to hide behind]

M-maybe we shouldn't go near the beach after all.

[ Makoto is just going to watch you for the moment, Brave BRAVE Rei. He's got a totally unsure look on his face and then...the cloth comes out.

...is that...?

Is that a pirate flag???

Is that a BURNED pirate flag????

omfg he's not even hiding his fear.

slagjalksdgj ]

Rei, what is that??? Are there pirates here???
