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!

[And...Here's a fine example of what he's talking about now.

Gods save him from the idiots.]

Yo what, mate.

[And waiting for the yoho joke. Like he hasn't heard it a million times before.]

[allendsmeat]

It means hi. [he peers curiously] What are you doing?

[justguidelines]

What does it look like I'm doing, looking for a crew, ain't I?

[Not that anyone in this place qualifies.]

[allendsmeat]

Ehh really? You're kind of a weird old guy. [he never heard anyone getting crew this way. But...he could help out. He spots a scruffy dog peeing against a wall] What about that guy? [point] He looks pretty cool.

[justguidelines]

[Careful, Luffy. You're pushing all of those buttons, if the look he's giving you is any indication.]

Well, I'd venture to say he's probably a better pirate than any of you lot.

[allendsmeat]

haha you think so? He'd be great to fetch but it doesn't look like he'd be any good with sails. Maybe he can be like a cabin boy! You can have him fetch slippers or something like that!

[that's what a cabin boy does, right?]

[justguidelines]

[Hell if Hector knows, he doesn't want other people poking around in his cabin.]

Aye, and what do you know about sails, then.

[allendsmeat]

Not much. But I can tie them up and let them down and do whatever Nami tells me. [he picks his nose absently] What about you?

[justguidelines]

Oh, I don't know, lad. [Bless him, he's a gross little thing, isn't he?] Been captain many a year. You tell me.

[allendsmeat]

Haha I'm Captain, too! Let's see... [he ticks off on his fingers] You eat a lot, go on adventures, find treasure, beat up jerks and have a lot of fun!

[justguidelines]

[No, Luffy, that is not how do captain. Not at all.]

Oh, is that what a captain do, then. My, and all these years I been doing it wrong.

[allendsmeat]

Well a pirate captain can be whatever he wants. [otherwise why be a pirate?] But I'm sure you're fine, old guy! Don't worry so much! [friendly whacks on the back]

[justguidelines]

[Oh boy is that an eye-narrowing straight out of Hell. You're not one of his pirates, keep the hands to yourself.]

I know I'm a good captain. Certainly don't need confirmation from the likes of you. [Seriously, a captain can do what he wants? Sure, if he wants to get mutinied.

Just ask Hector's good friend Jack.]

[allendsmeat]

haha you're pretty confident, huh? That's good. [he looks at all the people. Some of them look pretty lost, though others look more confident. Still....] I wonder if you can find the kind of people you're looking for.

[justguidelines]

Of course I can. This certainly ain't the first time I've put together a crew.

[allendsmeat]

[nod. nod.] Well good luck, old guy! Maybe I'll meet you on the sea!

[justguidelines]

Pray you don't.

[allendsmeat]

hiihii We'll see.

Sailing by your shipwreck. Waving. Gonna happen.

[justguidelines]

[And with just a small narrowing of his eyes, he turns away.

You're dismissed, Luffy.]
