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!

Estelle | Tales of Vesperia

[founditinabook]

A. [Ships doctor of course. She was working hard at healing people after the recent skirmish. Luckily, her artes still worked here, even with the absence of mana. Maybe it was her innate powers adapting, but otherwise...]

Stop squirming please and let me work! You're going to tear yourself open again at this rate!

B. [Estelle's sipping a rather rank drink without flinching. How many did she have? But it was a cold night and the rum was watered down to keep the chill off.]

It feels like a chill wind tonight...

[Despite this, her eyes were very clear at best.]

C. [A boarding party had lead to swordsmanship, and Estelle was weaving through the crowd, clashing blades and mixing it up with opponents. She was doing rather well, even among the cannonfire. A barrier arte went up and grapeshot raked the shield.]

That was close!

[soundandfurry]

-It wasn't so much flinching. She'd dealt with wounds before, even worse than this, in the wild. It was just... the fur. She hated people seeing her fur. And with the moon cycle still not yet waned, it hadn't all gone away yet.-

S-sorry... -She gave a distinctly puppy-like whine, whimpering in a mix of pain and humiliation.-

Re: a

[founditinabook]

It's okay. Don't worry about it. Just relax and we'll patch you up as quick as possible.

[The soft light of Estelle's healing artes filled the cabin as the doctor set to work...] Any pain so far?

[soundandfurry]

It still kinda hurts... But it's feeling better. Is it supposed to feel warm?

[founditinabook]

It's supposed to feel warm. Is it tingling anywhere?

[soundandfurry]

Kind of... But it's kind of ticklish, too. I guess it's because of the extra hair. -Said in a mortified tone.-

[founditinabook]

Mmm. It's no problem, you're healing at a good rate. [Her power was a bit diminished, normally she could heal this faster. But she had to work harder here.]

[soundandfurry]

Should be, ah... good to dress and go, right? I mean, you shouldn't waste all of your energy on me, right? -And she desperately wanted to cover herself up.-

[founditinabook]

Mmm... just a moment longer. Aaaand there. Okay, just keep the bandage on and you'll be okay.

[pyrostorm]

Move it or lose it, princess! [ Estelle's crazy shipmate is standing just a little behind her, fire growing around her as she prepares to let off an arte. ]

Ahahahahaha, it works for me either way!

[ Hopefully Estelle does take Agria's advice, because that's all that the other girl gets before Agria's letting off an impressive fire arte towards the enemy ship.

There are perks to being a fire-specialist on the sea. Who needs a cannon? ]

Re: c

[founditinabook]

[Thankfully Estelle is used to Agria's unhinged methods and jumps to the side seconds before that fire arte rockets past her.] You should really be more careful.

[But of course all of that chiding went in one ear and out the other, considering how many times they've done this dance before.]

[pyrostorm]

Don't be such a killjoy. It's your own fault for being in my way.

And look! Now we can watch the enemy ship burn! Their cannons won't be of much use now!

[founditinabook]

[Estelle looked over and yep, those cannons were on fire.] That's a lot of power if you managed to burn the cannons.

[pyrostorm]

They're bronze and wood. It's not hard.

[ A small laugh. Still a crazy one, though. ] Maybe for you it would be.

[founditinabook]

Well I'd have to use an actual fire arte though. Because I'm not too good at those other than certain kinds.

[pyrostorm]

In other words, you're just useless.

Am I right?

[founditinabook]

[Estelle managed to look just a little perturbed at that.] And just who protects the ship with defensive artes?

A!

[carptricks]

[Fighting wasn't exactly Kaito's area of expertise. . . and yet despite that, he certainly wasn't a stranger to injury. He had sustained his fair share of gunshot wound grazes before (a risk that came with phantom thief territory), so really, he didn't think the gash he had sustained on his upper arm was that bad]

[With a grumpy sigh, he forced himself to stop fidgeting]

Oh c'mon, it's just a scratch. S'not that bad!

["Just a scratch" indeed]

Re: A!

[founditinabook]

Just a scratch? Your arm could have been taken off if you weren't careful!

[Estelle's seen her share of injuries. Her homeworld was not a safe one, even with the immediate threats to the world dealt with so far. She was trying to apply a healing arte but of couse Kaito wasn't making it any easier with his fidgeting.]

Re: A!

[carptricks]

My entire arm? No way. I wouldn't have let that happen.

[He sits on his free hand and holds as still as he can to give Estelle a chance to apply the healing arte, his shoulders relaxing as the magic does its work and the sting of the injury lessens significantly]

The guy who did this just got lucky.

Re: A!

[founditinabook]

Lucky or not, a little more and it would have required stitches as WELL as my healing artes.

[Estelle sighed a little, running her hand over the injury a inch over the wound.] We're lucky I can still perform healing artes. There's no mana here, or aer.

Re: A!

[carptricks]

[Ah, yes. . . magic. A very different kind of magic from his own. The unfamiliar terminology got a few blinks from Kaito]

Aer?

[Mana was easy enough to figure out; he had played plenty of video games back home. But aer was an entirely new word]

What's that?

Re: A!

[founditinabook]

It's sort of a particle, an energy source that was once utilized by Blastia, devices to channel it. It makes up the world around us, or at least it did when I was in my own world. Since then, the Aer was converted to Mana, a safe version of power.

Re: A!

[carptricks]

Particles. . . that make up the world around you. . .

. . .

The science of your world is pretty strange.

Re: A!

[founditinabook]

Yes, but it's my world that is quite unique among others. Aer made up everything, from protective barriers to blastia that made them run. It also created monsters however.
