Test Drive for September 2013 Apps




Welcome to our first Test Drive for [community profile] 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!

Thank you.

[Haru takes the jacket, because he is starting to get a little cold now that he is out of the water, and puts it on. Predictably, it fits him at least 2 sizes too big, so he starts folding the sleeves a little, while making A FACE at that second comment]

I don't get sick.

[having made that VERY TRUE STATEMENT, he starts looking around. There is some sand, obviously, and a dense amount of trees in front of them, but there is nothing else to see - at least from that point of view]

Maybe there are no people here.
notsokillerwhale: (:O!)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-01 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Makoto knows that Haru's VERY NOT TRUE STATEMENT about not getting sick is, in fact, completely false and foolish. But he's not going to argue with him and instead he's going to just keep an eye on his BFF4LYFE and maybe force him to button the jacket (which fits him quite nicely despite being way too big!) later. ]

Of course you don't. But just in case, we should probably find something--

[ However, the second statement catches him off guard. He looks around as well and sees pretty much the same nothingness. ]

--you think we're on a deserted island? Were there any people on the other island you were on?

[ It's suddenly very creepily quiet all around them. ]
onlyswimfree: (oh where is my beloved water)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-01 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot. A market, too, and some ships.

[Which is why he had been pleased to leave it: that island had been really overpopulated. Haru looks back in the distance from where he came - there is nothing there but water, water and more water]

But I left it a few hours ago.

[obviously, that isn't the answer. Mentally saying goodbye to his old clothes - it had been a very good school uniform - Haruka turns to Makoto]

Should we go?
notsokillerwhale: (...)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-01 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
A market and ships? Really? I bet that's why you left it, Haru.

[ Wait.

If there were so many people on the other island, why did Makoto have to end up on the weirdly deserted one..? He must have developed a new habit of sleep swimming even though that seems pretty unlikely. ]


Go where? Into that forest??

[ He glanced over at the creepy looking forest in front of him with wide eyes. ]

I think we should go the other way--

[ Turning around, all he could see was the ocean in front of him. ]

--the forest it is. You lead the way.

[ Not that he was hiding behind Haru or anything. He just felt safer with the other one at the lead. ]

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haru looks away for a moment (because OF COURSE Makoto could read why he left it so quickly), but hearing the tone in his best friend for lyfe's voice, he turns back to look at him]

It's the only way to go.

[nonetheless, he walks slow so Makoto can keep up behind him. Also, he makes sure to go through the less dense area so there's still plenty of light coming in and they can see where they are going.

and if Makoto wants to cling to him, he's not gonna say anything, as usual]
notsokillerwhale: (D:!!!)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-01 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Makoto puts his hand on Haru's shoulder, gripping it loosely and using it to help guide him along with Haru. The forest is creepy but not nearly as bad as it could be if Haru hadn't been there.

He has a feeling they're taking this particular less scary path on purpose too... ]


Do you know where you're going--

[ Sudden SNAP in the bush near them and Makoto jumps and hides behind Haru completely ineffectively. ]

Let's leave the forest, Haru!

That was just a branch, Makoto.

[although he is definitely not gonna mention that weird movement he saw out of the corner of his eye. It was probably an animal, so there really isn't a point in freaking out Makoto even more.

SO, HE KEEPS WALKING]


Otherwise, we'd have to go back, sit on the beach and wait for a boat to go by.
notsokillerwhale: (>>)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
A bran--

--oh.

[ Well, he feels slightly silly but this sort of behavior is not really new to either of them so he gets over it pretty quickly and continues allowing Haru to play the fearless leader.

Makoto looks around the woods. It's not too bad...

Trees...

Rocks...

Stumps... ]


We don't even now if that's going to happen...

[ Weird animal glowing eyeballs............. ]

At least you're here though.
onlyswimfree: (this isn't mackarel)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-02 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[he doesn't really say it, but he's glad Makoto is here, too. Otherwise he'd probably still be swimming without a general direction until dusk, when he'd be cool, wet, and without any clothes.

All these corny thoughts are cut short when he hears more rustling, and what sounds like a growl. Now Haruka is definitely starting to get nervous, but he can't let Makoto know or he'll definitely be scared. But it was HIS idea to go into the forest, so it has to be his responsibility to take them out]


Makoto, let's walk faster.
notsokillerwhale: (D:!!!)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay. Haru doesn't have to say anything, Makoto just knows. Most of the time, anyway.

He's too caught up in his thoughts about Haru and scary things to notice the rustling but he is definitely observing a quickened pace. And a bit more tension. ]


Hey wait! What's going on, do you see something? Are we almost out?

[ Suddenly the rustling becomes louder and there's no way Makoto could have missed it that time. Suddenly, you've got two hands gripping your shoulders as Makoto lets out a yell. ]

Nagisa, if that's you, this isn't funny!
onlyswimfree: (this isn't mackarel)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-02 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
There's definitely a light at the end of the path, so let's just get there as fast as we can.

[ok so that's not necessarily TRUE in that Haruka hasn't really seen the end of the forest, but he's sufficiently scared now that he definitely doesn't wanna stay behind and find out just what is in that forest.

So he grips Makoto's arm from his shoulder and starts running, pulling him]
notsokillerwhale: (...)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Makoto stumbles at first but being a relatively coordinated person, he was quickly able to find his feet to chase after Haru. (Not like he had a choice since he was kind of being pulled.)

Even though Haru wasn't completely positive about the light at the end, he ended up being correct and they would soon be free of the forest!!

Of course, Makoto being the easily scared person he is, hovers close to Haru, clinging the back of his jacket, even as they exit the woods and HOPEFULLY THE DANGER AS WELL. ]


How long did you say you were swimming for? Maybe we could try finding the town instead of going back in there.
onlyswimfree: (Default)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
A few hours. I took breaks, for a bit.

[Wow, is he glad for all the times he went running in the morning now, because he is only a little out of breath. He gives a quick look around - there's dirt and little hills and some fruit trees, but still no sign of people.

And the sun is going down]


Maybe we should find somewhere to sleep.
notsokillerwhale: (^_^)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looked over at the sun going down and then back at the forest. Sleeping somewhere was pretty much inevitable at this point. ]

It is starting to get dark. Walking in the dark might not be safe, someone could slip or roll their ankle.

[ Makoto hasn't quite let go of Haru's shirt at the point and proceeds to kick around a patch of sand that they are standing on. ]

It's not like we've never slept on the beach before, right? Just like that time we went camping!

[ He forces a laugh and then slowly releases his deathgrip, shaking out his hand foolishly. ]

Think you can rough it another night?
onlyswimfree: (There's no point without swimming)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[You mean the time you almost DIED Makoto??? Anyway Haruka personally would at least rather have a sleeping bag, and a tent, but if the other option is the forest... Well, he'll take his chances on the beach]

I guess so. I hope it doesn't rain, though.

[starts looking around for a bed of leafs or something they can drag to make the ground less... ground-y]
notsokillerwhale: (D:)

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good things happened that night too? But overall, that night was pretty horrifying and Makoto is probably just blocking out the terrible memories of haunted houses, almost drowning and having to spend extended time in the ocean.

He looks up at the sky and then back to Haru. ]


Doesn't look like it. Should we put something together anyway? [ He glances at the many potentially comfortable looking leaves in the forest. ] Don't go into there for leaves though. [ Turning away, he starts flattening the sand out with his foot, looking like he just knows that this is going to be completely ineffective and stupid.

At least Haru is there so it can be a hilarious memory to talk about down the road rather than a hideous experience that could have left him scarred. Where were they anyway? ]
onlyswimfree: (Maybe there are other options)

[personal profile] onlyswimfree 2013-09-02 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[of course Haruka keeps the memory of the stars in the ocean in his heart. The night is not shaping up to be as nice as that one, but he won't complain. much. about it. all things considered, there's no one else he'd rather be with if he's gonna be stuck in a strange island.

i mean, nagisa and rei would both be loud as hell]


I'll just get the ones at the edge.

[though he still eyes them warily, just in case so weird animal (or worse) jumps at him when he's distracted]

Where do you think we are?
notsokillerwhale: (:)))

[personal profile] notsokillerwhale 2013-09-02 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's most of what he takes away from it. Spending time with friends, the stars in the ocean and productive training...it's a fond memory for him if he just keeps the pesky "almost drowning" part out of mind.

He watches Haru go to fetch some of the border leaves and keeps a close on him from a distance. ]


I don't know. If we were both swimming, it'd make sense to think we got lost but I just woke up here.

[ He's beginning to think about how uneasy he is again so he fronts a smile and he sits down, hands on his knees. ] It'd definitely have a lot more energy with the other guys, wouldn't it Haru? [ Though he knows Haru wouldn't prefer that... ]
