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!

I'll have my cook take care of it, if you're worried.

[She will, too. She twirls the sword around before lowering it--the point has been made.]

But the sooner you cooperate, the sooner I can be on my way.

[forgottendecade]

I pity your cook.

[because pirate gumbo is basically 'hit everything over the head with a rock and shove it into water until it stops struggling'. Joji just adds rum to mask all the rest of the flavors. the only way for that mess to burn if is he drops a match into it.]

What kind of assistance can I provide?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Pf. What do you think they've been eating? Karen actually thinks it's kind of edible with the right seasoning.]

Three days ago a sailboat was raided and then sunk. The description of the attacking ship matches yours.

[forgottendecade]

[ he's been eating other stuff and he also snorts at her words. ]

This is not my ship. I'm only here because they fished me off of a raft.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen reacts about as strongly as if he'd said "I'd like to wear a hat."]

Then I'm sure you have no particular attachment to it.

[forgottendecade]

Do whatever you want with it. Ah... [he does pull away long enough to grab a small rucksack.] There. I cannot leave my tools behind.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That'll have to be searched. I'm sure you understand.

[forgottendecade]

So long as they are all returned to me. Blacksmithing tools are hard to come by, especially those that are made to handle more delicate pieces of equipment than a horse shoe.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Don't worry about that. My crew can be very careful.

[As if on cue, there's a loud crash from somewhere out of sight.]

Most of my crew are very careful.

[forgottendecade]

I'm sure they are.

[he's so glad that his more important equipment is not on this plane of existence. he so did not feel like explaining his arm canon to these people.]
