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!

[Sinbad would be offended! It is not bullshit! It's just pretty words and ideals he fully intends to follow through on, and now he has an adorable little assassin at his disposal.]

Come on, let's try this place!

[He suddenly reaches out to try and grab Ja'far's wrist, to pull him into the nearest bar they had almost passed. On a whim.]

[under_the_wire]

[Ja'far snatches his wrist away before Sinbad can grab it and is about to snap at him again when he sees where the other boy has decided to eat.]

Hmmm? A bar?

[It's not like anyone can see, but he's smirking behind all those bandages. Why not a bar? Maybe they could even get some booze. That'd be kind of grown up and awesome.]

Wait, do they have food there?

[borntochangetheworld]

Probably they do! Let's check it out.

[He pushes the door open and walks inside like he owns the place. Sinbad isn't going to stop Ja'far from drinking if he wants, after all, they're very important, aren't they?]

[under_the_wire]

[Ja'far peeks around the edge of the door before following. Checking for enemies, making sure it's safe, that sort of thing. Apparently Sinbad's too dumb to think about things like that. They're in unfamiliar territory, after all. You can't just go walking into strange buildings.]

Order booze. I wanna drink something.

[If he drinks it quickly, it should be okay.]

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad doesn't have to think about that, if there was danger, somehow he'd know.]

Sure. [He shrugs at Ja'far.]

What do you want to drink?

[under_the_wire]

[Ja'far pauses and just stares at him for a few seconds. What does he want to drink? How is he supposed to know? It's not like he's ever had alcohol before.]

How much money do you have? Get whatever's most expensive.

[Sounds like a plan.]

[borntochangetheworld]

Okay, sure!

[Seems as good a plan as any. He walks up to the bartender and orders, not just a bottle of rum but two orders of stew, figuring Ja'far needs to eat something. If not, maybe he can save it for later. He pays and then comes back to Ja'far.]

Let's grab a table, shouldn't be too long.

[under_the_wire]

[A table is easy enough to find, but it's clearly designed for adult patrons. Ja'far's not so short that he can't reach the table, but definitely short enough that he ends up having to sit on his knees to be able comfortably reach his food when it arrives. The next problem is that he has to pull down his bandages if he wants to shovel stew in his face. It kind of ruins his assassin-ly image when looks like any other freckly little kid.

He's also not exactly a master of conversation, so he just fixes Sinbad with his usual flat, vaguely threatening stare.]
