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 the Frozen Lick ice cream shop. Perhaps even 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? Oh, and what about the mainland with the huge crater in the middle of it? 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 homeworld to a bunch of magical islands.

4. No Filters: Every once in awhile, very strange things happen on these islands. This time, it seems like people are just saying whatever they think. It doesn't matter how silly, how dark or even how awkward it might be, people just can't seem to help it. It's like you have no filter anymore! Everything you think, you say! So what goes on when that starts happening?

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

"Whoah--hey, whoah." Jack replied, arms spread and anger rolling off of him at her snap judgment. One thing Jack had learned was to read people--which angle to run to sell those last couple of papes, how long he had before someone tipped off Snyder, figuring out who knew Snyder or had heard of him...

He weren't wrong about this girl. She had the refuge on her face...so why the hell was she judging him for cutting and running with a good deal?

"If there's one thing Jack Kelly's got, it's an eye, dollface." he pointed out, jabbing a finger in her direction with a dangerous spark in his eye. "And I see where you come from--the streets leave grit in yer eye. So you can run off and buy your bread 'n your milk with all that money you don't trust--but first you tell me where the hell you get off judgin' me for runnin' wit' a good deal while I can. I'm from the same streets you is...and there's only one way you keep from bein' a charity case: that's doin' what you gotta do on your terms. If that means takin' a pile of money what been offered by some mark in a fancy tower? Sweetheart, I'm gonna take the dough and spend every red cent 'fore the marks catch on, you hear me?"

"Now who the fuck said I was judging you? I don't have a reason to. You haven't given me one." She straightens herself to her full height, annoyance rolling off of her. But not anger. She won't let herself get mad over something like this. That's when fires start and people get hurt, despite how badly she doesn't want to hurt anyone. So she fixes Jack with a look of confusion.

"If that's what works for you, go for it. Spend the money. In my own personal experience, people aren't nice. Not this nice. Not without wanting something. Not without taking someone..." And here we have Charlie flinch just subtly at her own slip, eyes closing for a second as she redirects her words. "Taking something I need in my life. So before you assume I'm judging you for doing things your way? Maybe take into consideration the streets we're both from aren't quite as similar as you think."

Unless of course Jack has powers and had a government group after him for said powers.

"I am very, genuinely sorry if you think I was judging you. I'm the last person who should be judging anyone for anything."

[goodolcapnjack]

Oh no. No, Jack caught the slip, and it stabbed at him something awful when he pictured Crutchie being hauled away, all beat up and broken...

Then, of course, there was the bills Pulitzer threw at him.

"There's one simple fix when they take someone from you, dollface." Jack replied, jaw still set with anger and dark eyes burning with quiet, simmering fury.

"You take everything else. You stop the world. And trust me, I seen it done."

For a second, Charlie feels like she's looking into a god damn mirror and it's terrifying. She's been that angry before. Worse. And people paid dearly. But there was something about this short tempered, plain spoken guy that she enjoyed. Still, she was cautious. Always and ever cautious, even with that voice telling her this was fine. He was okay.


"I'll tell you about it sometime." An implied she's been there already in the quiet way she says it. It's just for him to hear. Just Jack. She's starting to think maybe she can trust this guy. Probably.

Foolish decision, most likely.

[goodolcapnjack]

He hears that much--but Jack's far more interested in the words than the implication. His anger's gone in an instant, replaced with a sly smile as he reaches up to remove his cap and resettle it more securely atop his head.

"That mean I am gonna see you 'n dem gams again soon?" he asked hopefully

[that_cost]

The face she makes at what he says is probably nothing short of hilarious. It's confusion at the phrasing, even if she does know what he means, and just a look of purely amused 'what the fuck?!' That a phrase like that is directed at her.

"Well, unless I take horrifyingly drastic measures, that's kind of a given. They're sorta attached to the rest of me." Did we mention her sense of humor is dry with a side of somewhat dark? That should be a warning label somewhere. At least there's a hint of a smirk on her face.

"Most likely, Jack. Most likely." Not that she'll be seeking him out yet. But she won't try to rabbit off if they run into each other again.
