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 not true. I know there are some forms of music that the Canadians are so fond of that try to disrupt the order and sense most other genres have. They don't truly succeed, but they are trying and it does still count as music.

[polarization]

Canadians do?

[ Since when do Canadians have a recognizable genre of music in the first place? ]

[jawsthatbite]

You think they don't? I thought you listened to music.

[Since they invented rock and roll, obviously.]

[polarization]

[ This is what confirms it for Sefton. Jabberwock, you're crazy. ]

I do. What're you talking 'bout?

[jawsthatbite]

[But it's true and not something he made up in the depths of his insanity!]

How Canadians should have never had boy bands? Or was it rap music? I get the two mixed up a fair bit.

[polarization]

Maybe so, but they didn't make 'em.

[jawsthatbite]

I'm not sure about the rap music, but they did invent boy bands. And rock and roll.

[polarization]

They really didn't.

[ Just. Not having this at all. He might be kind of giving Jabberwock a sort of pass because Aussie, but come on. ]

Canada's not a part 'f America, sorry.

[jawsthatbite]

Yes they did.

[You are really not making any sense to him, Sefton. Why are you so wrong about common knowledge?]

The last time I looked at a map, I'm pretty certain that I saw Canada was part of North America.

[polarization]

Not the USA. S' wrong.

[jawsthatbite]

...the what?

[No really what is that, Jabberwock has no clue as to what the USA is.]

[polarization]

The USA. [ As if Jabberwock didn't hear the first time. Sefton's had that trouble enough times already, with his enunciation issues and then trying to adequately project at the same time. ]

[jawsthatbite]

[Maybe if you weren't up in the crow's nest then it might be easier to notice that he heard it just fine.]

What's the USA? I've never heard of it.

[polarization]

[ The crow's nest is the perfect personification of Sefton's personal bubble. He will never leave it. Except when he's hungry. ]

... The United States of America? You've never heard of that?

[jawsthatbite]

[There's a moment where Jabberwock is quietly thinking on it before he connects it to the closest thing he can think of.]

Are you talking about the Union because if you are, I've never heard it use States in its name before. Otherwise, I have no idea what you mean.

[polarization]

The Union? [ Bzuh? ] Well, sort of. You from... the past or something?

[jawsthatbite]

The United Nations of North America. It's located south of Canada, primarily a French speaking country, incredibly isolationist. [Give him a moment.] Is the year 2006 of the common era considered the past for you?

[polarization]

... technically, yeah. 'Cept none of that's right.

[jawsthatbite]

That's strange, everything sounds right to me.

[polarization]

Only right part's the geography. We don't speak French 'n we're not isolated. World's melting pot 'n all.

[jawsthatbite]

Now that sounds more like Canada than the Union, though I'm sure some people would say the Empire's a bit like a melting pot too.

[polarization]

What Empire?

[jawsthatbite]

The British Empire.

[Sefton, what rock have you been hiding under, seriously.]

[polarization]

[ He's kind of been doing the opposite, actually. ]

... Y'mean the United Kingdom?

[jawsthatbite]

[Jabberwock seriously facepalms because really?]

No, I mean the entire empire, not just Great Britain.
