Welcome to Medietas! Do you have an interest in joining the game? Is there an old muse that you want to dust off? Or, perhaps you're looking for a place to voice test a brand new character and would like to do so in our little island setting among friends? Well, whatever the reason, this is where you can do that!

You all know what to do! If you don’t, just follow the instructions and HAVE FUN!

How To Play:

→ Comment with the character you’d like to test drive. Don’t forget to add their name and canon in the subject line.
→ Choose a scenario, or start your own!
→ Tag around!

Possible Scenarios:

1. Getting Settled: So, now that you've arrived and wandered around the starter home you've been given, it's time to check out the rest of the islands. There's a market on Aerilon that is full of treasures. Or, you can check out Chapter Six bookstore. Perhaps you wander over to the Mean Princess facility on Mulciber. There is so much to see and do!

2. Islands: There is definitely some weirdness going on around the islands from the sidewalks that glow to the mysterious energy that doesn't seem to have any direct source. There are statues that hum softly and seem to grow every so often. And what is with these bridges? Go forth and investigate! Puzzles are FUN!

3. PARTY: Every month or so there's always a celebration somewhere, be it on Mulciber, Imber, Mundus, Eurus, and now Nidus! Eat, drink, dance, talk among the other islanders. It's about making new friends and enjoying yourself, right? Even if you have been stolen away from your home world to a bunch of floating islands.

4. Trouble!: All is quiet and calm when suddenly the warning signals across each of the islands sound. Not long after, or, at least only long enough to get prepared, a large hydra creature crawling out of the lake on Imber. Do what you can to help remove this threat before it gets to any of the other islands!

5. Wild Card: Got something else in mind and want to create your own scenario? Go for it!

Wednesday Addams | Adult Wednesday Addams

1. GETTING SETTLED
Wednesday had opted on going directly to the bookstore, hoping to find some kind of tome on the myths and lore of these islands. She didn't recognize them from any book contained within the vast Addams library, which meant she may be the first of her family to be here. Fortunately there wasn't much sun on this particular day, which suited her pallor much better. Even so, she did walk a little faster than she usually would until she was sheltered within the cool confines of the bookstore.

From there it was simply a case of browsing the shelves. Browsing in her style, that is, which involved intense scrutiny of each and every book spine, and giving the section containing children's fairy tales a wide berth. She never had gotten over her childhood heartbreak of hearing of a knight in shining armor killing a poor, defenseless, dragon.

What kind of person would do such a thing?


2. ISLANDS
She had just been passing by when she overheard - just barely - the nearest statue humming. It was a soft noise, barely there, but her hearing had always been sharper than normal, and it caught her attention. She knew, from being told, that there was strange energy here. A type of magic, really, but it wasn't as something she was as informed about as she would like to be. Grandmama would be disappointed. Wednesday excelled in potions and poisons, but the theoretical side of magical energy had never been her strong point.

She watched, seeing the statue grow just slightly, and tilted her head. A phrase passed her lips, one that was not hers, but perhaps no one would mind her borrowing it.

"Curious."


5. WILD CARD - NETWORK
USERNAME: W.ADDAMS
So I am taken from my home, placed on a flying vessel, and brought to new islands which contain an odd magic in the air. I expect to find human-like hyrids, or some other kind of grotesque. Though I would not be adverse to painful experimentation.

The man who was in the bookstore looked like some kind of skeleton or maybe scarecrow. He was a little ways away, looking through the shelves with a thin and reedy hand. Despite this, he looked over and waved a little. "New here too? To the bookstore I mean."

[outofthemanor]

Wednesday turned from the books, looking at the man with a look that would make you think she was looking right through you, inspecting your intestines.

"Yes," she replied simply, turning back to her scrutiny of the titles available.

[i_am_here]

Wow, he hadn't felt that unnerved for a moment. But she was a kid, albeit scary.

"If you're looking for the history section, it's over there."

[outofthemanor]

If she had heard his thoughts, she would argue strongly against being called a 'kid', having passed the legal age of majority. It was a milestone in life that Addamses took very seriously, after all, being one step closer to the grave.

"Will the history section provide information regarding the magic that is entrenched in these islands?"

[i_am_here]

Sorry Wednesday, he thought of most people as kids, due to his fatherly-like tendencies. "I'm not sure," replied All Might, picking up a book and skimming through it. "I haven't seen anything as comprehensive as that yet."

[outofthemanor]

There is no change in her expression but she does feel something akin to annoyance. Of course there would be no comprehensive text, people rarely think to mark these things down. Largely as it usually drives those who do mad, but that would be such a rare treat.

"Then is there a mind-numbing history?"

[i_am_here]

"There is that." He said, handing the book over. "There's enough to get by on these books at least."

[outofthemanor]

She takes the book, beginning to flip through it. It's reasonably sized, not exactly an ancient tome but respectable enough. She nods, and then looks around. "And your occult section?"

[i_am_here]

"Uhhhh, over here I think? I actually don't work here, but I frequent the place."

Moving over to the section, he plucked a few books out that he knew were good and offered it to Wednesday.

[outofthemanor]

"Then you likely know more than the staff." It wasn't unkind, as such. Wednesday was just well aware that visitors to a store tended to pay more attention that people who worked there. Mostly as they weren't as overwhelmed as those who were slaving away at minimum wage.

[i_am_here]

"Sounds about right. I know at least that several of the staff actually pay attention though. A change, good for the worker spirit." said All Might. "Oh, I'm uh Toshi. Nice to meet you."

[outofthemanor]

"Wednesday Addams." She turned her attention to the books. Looking through them, there didn't seem to be anything new as such that stood out at her, but further reading could provide that.

[i_am_here]

"Wednesday. Neat name. Is that a running theme in your family or just unique to you?" asked All Might curiously, working at shelving another book.

[outofthemanor]

"Mother promised to name her first daughter after a day of the week. She was glad there was one decent line in the corresponding poem," she explained.

[i_am_here]

"Oh, I getcha." How did that old poem go again? Something something... ah, he forgot.

"Your mom has some good sense then."

[outofthemanor]

"Of course." Wednesday's Mother is her idol, she would never say a bad word against her. Her parents are complete monsters, and she's entirely grateful for that.

[i_am_here]

Priorities, he could respect that.

"So do you need any more books?" asked All Might as he started to go through the occult section. "I think Tobins Spirit Guide is here..."

[outofthemanor]

"It's an amateur work." She had read the spirit guide at a young age, and found it woefully inadequate compared to some works her family owned. One of her Uncles had written a far more informative spirit guide, but it had been rejected from every publisher it had been sent too.

[i_am_here]

"Really? I've heard some swear by it, but I'm sure there's others. Lets see... Spates Catalog and Spectral Almanac?"

All Might really didn't have much experience with that after all.

[outofthemanor]

"Those who swear by it have never read anything more ... informative." Wednesday has perhaps too much experience with this. Being able to converse with the ghosts of your ancestors does that.

[i_am_here]

"True that. There's a lot of stuff out there that can't be explained anyhow, but there's plenty of people who know better."

He grinned just a little.

[outofthemanor]

"And plenty of fortunate people who stumble in blindly, and end up being driven mad for their efforts."

[i_am_here]

"Er, yeah. That's something that happens. Even in a superhuman society there's some crazy stuff out there."

[outofthemanor]

"People should appreciate what they have. We all die alone, and each instance of life is a gift. Perhaps more near death experiences would make them realise this."
