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!

Ship.

[A dinghy is a boat. These are ships.]

Call a ship a boat to a captain and you'll find yourself governor of a little island, mate.

...

Sorry, I really gotta ask: do you mean that in the GOOD way, or the BAD way? I mean, really, I wouldn't mind being the governor of an island and staying out of all this hullabaloo.

[Oh dear God.]

They'll maroon you, mate. One pistol, one shot, no supplies.

[razor_hill_hell]

Oh.

[ Pause. ]

Oooooh. Okay, that's- uh, hold on, why do captains gotta be so touchy about what a boa- ship is called, anyway?

[justguidelines]

Because they're your livelihood, mate. No man as has respect for the ship he sails on deserves anything better.

[razor_hill_hell]

Right. Guess that explains the names, the figureheads, and all that other stuff...

If it's all the same to you, I'll, uh, keep my feet on the ground.

[Lubbers are so cute, sometimes.]

Probably for the best, mate. No one likes a seamen with no sea legs.
