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!

That's so cool! Brook is cooler than I expected! Na na, can you cut other shapes, too? What about an elephant? Or a bananagator?

[fortyfivedegrees]

Yohohoho! I've never tried before...but I suppose I could. However...should we not first focus on finding our beloved crew first Luffy-san?

[With a small nod, he hooped his cane around his wrist once more and proceeded to grab and hand the oar over to Luffy. He suspected it was going to be a long set of rowing from here to the next port]

[allendsmeat]

[he nods. They had time to do a few animals but Brook must really miss everyone. He did, too. So it was okay to find them now]

Yosh.

[he takes the paddle and gathers the barrel under his arm as he takes it to the edge of the beach, setting it down and looking for a moment at the horizon. They could find anything out there and even that was a little exciting! But right now, though, they had a barrel.]

You get in first.

[fortyfivedegrees]

Of course, thank you Luffy-San.

[Brook gave his captain a small tip of his hat before stepping inside the barrel, his skinny frame leaving more than enough room for someone else. This would certainly be an interesting ride to punctuate an interesting day]

[allendsmeat]

[he puts the oar in, too]

Hold tight.

[Then he grabs the trees on either side and backs up, further and further and further. They have to make it past the breakers after all. Then when he figures he's gone far enough...]

Gum Gum no SLINGSHOT!

[pyoiing! Crashing into the barrel and sending them both flying high into the sky! The extra weight of Luffy on one side puts a spin on it, too, so they are spinning madly on to of it]

YAHOOO!

[fortyfivedegrees]

I think my poor heart just gave out...if I had one left that is! Yohohohoho!!

[Brook managed to say before the pair were blasted off into the wild blue yonder, their barrel spinning around like a mad top as they sailed through the air. This of course didn't bother Brook all that much; he had no brain to be smashing about in his skull, so he wasn't experiencing any dizziness at all. If anything he was still standing with his arms outstretched, still laughing like a maniac at his joke prior to take off]

[allendsmeat]

[they crash into the surf, nearly tipping over but luck is on their side and they don't. After Luffy is through laughing at how cool that was, he carefully climbs into the barrel himself. There's a little less room then before and Brook isn't very comfortable, but none of that matters at all

He looks up into his eyes, whether they are there or not, and grins]

I'm glad you're here, Brook.

[fortyfivedegrees]

Truly, it is my pleasure to be here with you, Luffy-san.

[Brook barely moved when the barrel hit the water; years of being aboard his ghost ship having given him a wonderful sense of balance. He simply returned Luffy's grin with his own, his teeth seeming to shine brightly in the sun]
