Test Drive for April 2014 Apps

[highseasmods]

Welcome to your monthly Test Drive for high_seas! Here is where new players can test out their characters' voices, old players can 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!

[that was good of you. Now the cannonball will smash into the mast which someone will need to fix. You broke it you bought it, Smoker, which he will bring up when the matter comes to a head.]

And what will you do if you catch him?

[and since one damaged mast is quite enough, he'll extend his effort a little to send a sheet of ice over the sea, over their ships, not to freeze the people in place but to give them a little chill. It's not like he can send them to prison and doing anything more will be that much more an effort

Oh except he managed to freeze their ship in place as well. Mah, well, it'll work itself out]

[justicereigns]

You mean when.

And that's the real trick of it.

When I catch him, I'll actually have a prison to put him in.

[lazyjustice]

Are you going to become a warden?

[deliberately misunderstanding here as he watches the pirates seem to panic]

You'd never wear the hat.

[and he is caught in a strange conundrum of wanting Smoker to catch the Straw Hats and not wanting him to. It will be a culmination of his efforts, true, and it's not as if they don't stir up enough trouble-- But he can't shake the feeling that Smoker will end up feeling the worse for it; like killing a fledgling bird, mid-flight]

[justicereigns]

Hats disrupt my flow.

[Huff.]

[lazyjustice]

In that case forget it.

[forget what though? He'll leave that up for Smoker to decide. The pirates seem to have recovered and are picking their way across the ice toward them]

Ararara Clever. [he hadn't counted on that]

Well I'll leave it to you.

[Smoker is capable and his sun chair is calling his name.]

[justicereigns]

[Gives him an annoyed look, but whatever. Kuzan is Kuzan. Whether as a hobo, or admiral, some things never change.]

[Smoker jumps down, breaks a few ice berg floes off with his jitte, hops his way over to the enemy ship and commandeers it.]

[WEEEEE.]

[Face his unruly justice!]

[KICKAPOW!]

[PUNCH OF JUSTICE!]

[KICK OF JUSTICE!]

[CHECK OUT HIS AWESOME JUSTICE MOVES OF--]

[............]

[Glances back.]

[Totally doesn't sulk.]

[NOT!DAD STOP SLEEPING UP ON DECK! GAWD.]
