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!

[allendsmeat]

[his rowboat has a leak in it--and he's long since lost the barrel. This is starting to look really bad! But then, he sees a ship nearby! Lucky!]

Ooiiiii!

[and then because his tiny boat is sinking faster than the ship is approaching, he'll just streetch his arm out and grab onto the railing, pulling himself up after it, and landing on the railing with a crouch as his arm settles back into place with an elastic snap.

To the crew he says:]

Yo.

[rikuheyriku]

[Woooooah, did that guy's arm really just... stretch out like that? Don't mind him, while he stares in awe for a moment.]

Uh... hi.

[Sora blinks a couple of times, then grins as though Luffy is the coolest guy ever.]

That was really cool! How'd you do that?!

[allendsmeat]

Haha I'm a rubber person! [and he stretches his cheek to show] But more importantly, do you have any food?

[rikuheyriku]

Coooool!

[He genuinely means that response, too. Wait. 'More importantly'? How could anything be more important than being something as amazing as a person made of rubber?! Oh, well. This guy would probably tell him more about it, after he is fed! With that, Sora points over to a barrel of fruit. It's nothing special, but he plans on buying more food once he gets back to town.]

Help yourself! [He grins.]

[allendsmeat]

Thanks a lot! [Food is food is food. Unless it's vegetables. He hopes over and pries off the top of the barrel] Hooo! This looks tasty! [and as he chows down on an apple.] Who are you?

[rikuheyriku]

[He watches with lifted eyebrows, before cracking another grin and laughing.]

My name's Sora! What's yours?

[hiken]

Ah? Luffy?

[Ace, seated in the middle of a crowd of what looked to be very, very unwashed pirates who had been eating, was chewing on a haunch of turkey.

They were all unconscious and a bit bloodied, implying there was a disagreement at some point.]

[allendsmeat]

ACE! [Flying tackle piledrive leap hug and also biting into the turkey because it's there] Fi founf Fu!

1/2;

[hiken]

Luffy! Hey, it's y--

[He was incredibly happy to see his little brother alive, all things considering--]

[hiken]

Who offered you any!? [Yet, the instinct to protect his food fiercely from his gluttonous brother overtook any feeling of blind joy away from him in an instant. Ace reared back and then punched Luffy square in the cheek with a fiery fist.]

[allendsmeat]

OUCH! [that hit hard and he crashes into the side of the ship!]

Oi! Don't be stingy! I want some! [grabbing for that meat again!]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco's about to reflexively kick the idiot pirate back off, thank you very much, when he recognizes that infamous damn hat.]

Ace's little brother?

[Have a confused grin as Marco drops that leg. No kicking Luffy.] How did you get here? [Because.... no... seriously... what.]

[allendsmeat]

Oh! You know Ace? I have a barrel and also your head looks like a pineapple. Is it tasty?

1/3

[fierybluebird]

[Yup. That's Ace's little brother all right.]

2/3

[fierybluebird]

Don't eat my head.

[Fucking Ds.]

3/3

[fierybluebird]

What are you doing in a barrel anyway?

And aye, Ace is my nakama.

[allendsmeat]

I'm looking for my nakama. [stare stare stare at his head] I bet Ace tries to eat it a lot. Did you actually grow from a bush? [he's really just fascinated by this]

[unbuyable_wish]

[...Did he just... What did he even do? How did his arms just...?]

[Well. There's... No need to be uncivil?]

Welcome aboard the Wish.

[Sie's accustomed enough to acting all gracious that it doesn't even sound awkward or confused, unless you look at hir face too hard.]

[allendsmeat]

Thankyoou. My name is Luffy. Can I have some food?

[unbuyable_wish]

[Yes, definitely a strange boy, but he seems rather straightforward, a trait Ashura has always admired even if sie can't emulate it. Getting hir sea legs under hir, as it were, Ashura relaxes into hir smile a little.]

Well, if you are to be my guest, I should show you our hospitality. Come, let us sit, and I shall have food brought!

[Just like having a guest at the castle, albeit a strange one. And, of course, minus the servants and the ludicrous levels of luxury.]

[allendsmeat]

[Sits! Vibrating a little with the anticipation of food]

So who are you? Where are you going? What's your crew like? Do you have a lot of meat?

[halfbakedninja]

[ Nishiki, who had been in the shadows to hide her telltale Fuma traits - the half that she had, at least - twitched when the stranger landed on deck. She looked at him suspiciously. He likely wasn't from her world, so maybe he didn't know of the Fuma clan. ]

...How did you do that?

[allendsmeat]

I stretched. I'm a rubber person. [he grins and pulls on his cheek to show] My name's Luffy. Nice to meet you. [grin]

[halfbakedninja]

Rubber… [ She looks confused. She’s unfamiliar with the material. She gives a wary nod. ] Nishiki.

[allendsmeat]

Yeah! It means I can stretch super far and bounce and I can do this!

[and he streetches out the bottom of his ears and ties them to the top of his head] I'm a rabbit! shishishi
