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!

Tulio || The Road to El Dorado

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-23 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, things could be worse. They could be dead.

Tulio doesn't voice the thought aloud. He knows better. Oohh, yes, he knows better. So instead he just lays flat on his back on the dingy little raft that is all that is left of his and Miguel's dingy little boat. He slowly waves a makeshift flag (they didn't have enough for a sail), and sobs to himself quietly about the boat now at the bottom of the sea.

The boat that, just recently, had been filled to the brim with gold.

"So... so much gold..."

"At least you didn't die out there." Oh look, Ships Doctor survived too and she's leaning back in her seat a little, balancing the dingy.

"It could be a whole lot worse."

"Don't say that," He said sharply, a hint of panic in his voice. "If you say that--"

But he was cut off abruptly as a large shadow appeared in the water, swimming under their raft and out the other side, its huge fin breaking the water to signal its intent as it began to circle them.

Tulio clambered up to his feet, his face a picture of despair. "If you say it, it always gets worse."

... Well that was something. Estelle drew her thin rapier and concentrated. "I'll drive it off."

Yuri did this arte so much, it practically ingrained itself into the team. Estelle reared back and SWUNG, cutting a sphere of blue energy through the water. "AZURE EDGE!"
idolator: (whaaaaa?)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-24 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The tiny raft bucked in the water as the magic arced out to the shark, that had already disappeared. Tulio nearly rolled off the edge, the flag slipping from his hands as he grabbed at the raft instead.

"Are you trying to kill us?" He shouted, his voice just a little too high pitched.

[personal profile] founditinabook 2013-08-24 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry! I could have planned that a little better!" Well it was an A for Effort at least right?

Well, things could not be worse. He lost the crown.

See, he doesn't exactly have a problem with the rough and tumble setting, because no one has his wanted poster, but the crown would have paid for a nice governor's mansion while he watched everyone else squabble around on ships as he waited out his kidnapping term. He hears the word 'gold' from the gentleman who seems oddly familiar and pauses despite himself.

"I know how you feel, brother! One day you're swimming with potential riches, the next you're stranded on a kidnapping landmass without the dignity of keeping it."

oh mr. rider, oh

"Oh, it's not all bad."

Miguel, in direct contrast to Tulio's sobbing, has been out and about the town, just now returning to their sad little scrap of wood and cloth- well, flag- with a bounce and swagger in his step. All this cheer being directly related to the newest scrap of parchment he has clasped in his right hand.

Not, it should be noted, any of the supplies he may have actually been requested to bring back to the sobbing mess of his partner.

"A bit of a set back, but I've found an answer to all our troubles."

Flynn raises an eyebrow glancing between the two. "So you two were already crew before you got here?"
allendsmeat: (so awesome!)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2013-08-24 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Luffy spots the flag from a fair distance and paddles closer in his little barrel to peer at the guy on the raft, close enough to hear what he said.

"Gollld?!" A pirates kind of treasure. "Where?! Where?!"
idolator: (well i'm fucked)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-24 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Tulio brings himself out of his misery long enough to give a very flat look to the stranger, and to point down into the water.

Deep, deep down.

Then he sobbed.
allendsmeat: (huh?)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2013-08-24 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. [he glances down. The guy must have just lost it all.] That's pretty tough. Hang in there, raft guy, you'll be okay. [pat pat on the shoulder]
idolator: (stoic look)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-24 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He reaches out, clasping the stranger's shirt with a desperation only found in a man who a) has lost everything and b) is melodramatic at the best of times. He shakes him, slowly.]

Do you have any idea... how much gold... I could have been a King!
allendsmeat: (shhhh)

[personal profile] allendsmeat 2013-08-24 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[haha this guy was actually pretty funny and Luffy can't help but grin] So get more! There's always gold somewhere. Don't give up til you get what you want!

"You look like a man who's just had his heart broken."

Really, Ashura thinks it charming--riches, those are a simple wish, and almost sort of quaint to hir. Then again, Ashura has always had riches, so perhaps it's natural that hir ambitions lie elsewhere.
idolator: (well i'm fucked)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-24 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Shattered," He agrees, still looking completely devastated. "A million... tiny pieces... A million tiny gold pieces--"

He gave another sob.

[personal profile] unbuyable_wish 2013-08-24 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It was hard to take him seriously... Well... At all, but it was also hard not to pity the poor man somewhat. Ashura smiled at him, removing a jeweled bangle from hir wrist and tossing it gently towards him.

"Will you give your dream up so easily, then?"

Miguel, on the other hand, seemed determined to be industrious to a fault in the face of this (latest in a long list) disaster. It was slow going, but their tiny raft was destined to become slightly tinier as Miguel attempted to pry a piece of wood off the very edge. To make a spear/fishing rod/seagull beating stick, naturally. The details of how he would manage to make it into the two former options to be decided once the task was accomplished.

"Well. On the bright side, Tulio. At this point it really can't get much-"
idolator: (oh yeah tough guy?)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-08-24 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"DON'T!" Tulio shouted, jumping up to immediately slam his palm down across Miguel's mouth.

But it was too late. With a sudden WOOOSH! the heavens opened, drenching them both.

"How do you always do that??"
pseudosol: (Default)

[personal profile] pseudosol 2013-08-24 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I am a- oh."

The raised finger and puffed out chest about to accompany the joking claim of godhood- their noted former profession- is cut short as very angry Tulio and his now all too drenched golden hair actually click into place. The puff goes out of him, leaving Miguel hunched over his wood-stealing project.

"Nothing. Truly, Tulio, on my honor I wasn't about to say a single other word."

idolator: (don't mind me just banging my head)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-09-01 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
A lone strand of very wet hair dangled between his blazing eyes as he lowered his hand to the raft again.

"Really. Really." But it's useless to argue, at this point, the damage has been done and whatever mystical karma that Miguel had a knack of hitting had come to pass.

He lowered his head into his hands.

"Please tell me you at least managed to save the supplies, this time."

The fact that he could say 'this time' made him want to sob.

There is a long pause. A long, drenched in meaning- as well as drenched in person, thanks to this rain, pause.

"On the bright side, I saved the ancient talisman destined to bring us fortune and prosperity?"

Or so had said the gypsy woman that had sold it to him. While laughing. While Tulio was away getting their former ship equipped, now that he thought of it.
idolator: (oh yeah tough guy?)

[personal profile] idolator 2013-09-01 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't move. Not at first. Then he slowly, slowly brought his head around, his face a mask of disbelief.

And then he launched himself straight at his 'well-meaning' partner.

"Fortune and prosperity?? Give it to me! I'll send it right down to the bottom of the ocean with the rest of our fortune and prosperity!"
pseudosol: (Default)

[personal profile] pseudosol 2013-09-01 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Tulio!"

As if yelling the mans name would be enough in the way of explanation, Miguel tripped over his own feet trying to back away from the man rather than offer further clarification at the moment. The fact that both hands went up to grasp a new necklace around his neck probably didn't help with the whole 'keeping Tulio from discovering the item' plan.

"It's all we have left!"

[Floating by on his own makeshift raft.]

[SAW THE WHOLE THING.]


You know, maybe next time don't steer your ship into the only rock formation in the entire ocean.

[Grumps a bit, because he'd totally been trying to catch up with said ship so he could hitch a ride, BUT NOW...]
