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!

[ A derisive scoff. The air shimmers in the square. Then, a cool voice offers: ]

sʜᴏᴜʟᴅɴ'ᴛ ʙᴇ sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇᴅ

ᴛᴀʟᴋɪɴɢ ᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀss.

[ And then his Decepti0n times out as he takes up a relaxed, defensive position only a few feet from Jack. The message is clear: if I'd wanted to, you would be dead on the cobblestones.

But it's the first day, maybe he should hold off on murdering anyone for a bit. Even if they have it coming and even if it'd be really, really easy. (He wonders if Jack has a bounty on his head in any other systems. Possible. Something to look into.) ]

Oh hey it's the pretentious haiku jackass. How're you doing? Wait, don't tell me, you answer is going to include seventeen syllables. That's so quaint, you know? Brings a tear to my eye to think just how devoted you are to that stupid trick of yours.

Question for you though, does it get easier over time? Do you think in haiku, too?

[yeah he is completely unphased by your stupid assassin tricks.]

[ The answer is that yes, he does think in haiku. But he's not going to tell this jackass that. Because he's a jackass.

Zer0's voice remains the same - calm modulated gravel - as his fingers drum against the hilt of his sword. ]

Yeah you're really trying on that one. "Upon reaching the last page," really? Why can't you just say it like a normal person?
