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!

[ 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...

[worksintheory]

[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]

[notsokillerwhale]

[ 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. ]

[worksintheory]

[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]

[notsokillerwhale]

[ 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?

[worksintheory]

[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...

[notsokillerwhale]

[ 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. ]

[worksintheory]

[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.

[notsokillerwhale]

[ 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.

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