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!

"Hm," says Hijikata, with a tone like he doesn't even know what the word "fun" means. He glances Basco over, quietly calculating, wondering what's going on behind that carefree smile. If there's one thing he's learned from the company he used to keep, it's that how useless someone acts and their actual capability have very little relation.

In that case, Basco will just have to teach him! Right? "Do you never smile, Hii-chan?" Yes, he just called him that, and he doesn't seem like there should be anything wrong with it. Calculate on, but his true form, or his sadistic side, is not possible to spot.

What an awful nickname. Hijikata found himself reminded all too strongly of the things about Souji that drove him up a wall... Though even Souji referred to him almost religiously as Hijikata-san.

"There was a rumor I did once, as a child, but it's disputed."

[silvergoldengun]

But nicknames are fun and endearing. They also drive Mabe-chan insane, which was another bonus. Anything that, anytime in the future or close time, is an objection to the nickname, will be ignored.

“Such a pity you don't anymore, a handsome face should wear a smile at least once in a while.”

Hijikata fights the urge to roll his eyes--yes, definitely reminding him of Souji. He withdraws a long, thin pipe from a pouch at his waist, filling the bowl of it with tobacco and fishing for a match.

"A damn shame. Maybe if my crew weren't nothing but trouble..."

[silvergoldengun]

“Not everyone’s gonna be trouble, I’m sure.” He smoothly fish matches out of wherever Hijikata had them. Lit it, and lit the pipe for him. He grins. “Different people have different use.”
