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!

[The voice has her tense, and she looks in the only direction danger could be coming-- out to sea. She has no sense of the arm reaching for in. Instead, she threads her arm around the rope responsible for securing the gun, the same one she used to catch herself, and ducks so her back is to the rail.

The force of the wave sweeps over the rail, the water rushing to escape pushing toward port, but she holds to the line with her hand, presses her back to the rail, and secures her foot in front of the braced wheel of the gun.

Only as her mind processes that the danger is past for the moment (she doesn't give up her position, just in case there is more to come) does she realize what her shipmate tried to do.]

I'm fine.

[Or, more accurately, too stubborn to want help from someone.]

Oh okay. [which is good because he got drenched with seawater and his arm is piled on the deck like a pale limp noodle while the rest of him barely clings to the mast]

Stupid waves need to stop. [he wants to enjoy the storm not get drenched in it]
