Test Drive for June 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!

[ Town Square. There is a tallish, silent young man staring down your decrepit statue today, journal dangling idly from one hand. Some people prefer to be more animated in their quick-thinking, situation-absorbing methods, but that isn't really his style. So he's been summoned by a pirate ghost to sail around until someone somehow puts together all the pieces of a magical gem like a puzzle... he has no cell service... Mitsukuni is nowhere to be found. But if he is here--

Well, if he is, then Mori has more to worry about than being kidnapped by Davy Jones. Basically, ain't nobody got time for freaking out. He turns his attention back to the journal, and then to finding his way around the streets after he's done a little more combing through it. ]

[Lost at Sea. ........who needs to stay on their ship anyway?

Oh, right. He does. In fact, he'd greatly prefer it.

Don't mind Mori here just paddling his rowboat towards whichever direction feels like it's housing his ship. He's got a turtle on his head and a fire of deep, moderately-stricken concern for the rest of the crew in his heart, and he'll jump out to swim the rest of the way if it gets him back in order faster. Or he'll jump out so he can push a rowboat full of fellow stranded crew members towards whichever direction feels right. Could go either way.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but he's totally willing. ]

[ Enemy Attack. WELP. They came invading, so they asked for it. Mori opts to skip the middleman in this instance by vaulting over the railing and taking the defense into enemy territory. It's rude as hell to lay siege to a ship just peacefully floating on by, isn't it? He has people to look out for on this vessel.

This is why he is casually working on shoving all the enemy cannons into the ocean.

It's a far cry from things back at Ouran (well. maybe not a far cry.), but sometimes a man needs to adapt to ensure a continued stability of existence. And stability, he can provide. ]

[literally whatever else you want.

I'm really easy like that tbh. ]

Lost at sea!

[Heeeey don't mind the pinkish dragon whizzing by there.]

[But seeing a person in a rowboat of all things, she pauses! And does a few loops around.]

Hey Mister, are you all right?

That's a very cute turtle friend you found! [She's just saying, because she wants to play with it.]

[ Oh look, a talking pink dragon.

Which is pink, and a dragon, and... talks...

Now, he's seen his share of strange things since arriving to this place- sea monsters, curses, pirate raids- and he would say he saw strange enough things back home. Impossible not to, with the company he kept. But lost at sea with a turtle and a dragon, well. There was a gap in his experience there. Mori eyes her flight path warily until he determines, in his particular instinctual way, that he probably won't need to spring to the turtle's defense against a predator. Which leaves him room for some mildly disbelieving staring on the side, so it all works out.

He looks up towards the turtle. Down to his freshy salt-ruined school uniform. Back up to the turtle. Then, last but not least, he aims for direct eye contact with his new acquaintance. ]

... Yeah. [ to one??? to both??? why did i decide to play this loser it's a mystery. After a moment, he very ceremoniously tacks on: ] I went overboard.

Re: Lost at sea!

[Well, he doesn't seem too threatening, because he's not lying that she can tell, so she carefully lands on the opposite edge of the boat, making sure not to unbalance it.]

So you have a ship nearby or do you not know where it is?
