Test Drive

[medietas_mods]

Welcome to Medietas! Are you interested in joining the game? Do you have an old muse you want to dust off? Are you looking for a place to voice test a brand new character and would like to do so in our little island setting? Well, you've come to the right place!

You all know what to do but 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. New Arrival: You have just arrived on the island of Medietas, in the city of Aerilon via a floating boat with people you may or may not know. Of course, you can't help wondering what the heck is going on here, or how you even got on the boat in the first place. But as soon as the vessel docks you are greeted by some lovely locals who offer you a map and a communications device before leaving you to your own. You probably have questions and there seems to be a number of people there already who may or may not have those answers. Talk to them! Or, get on the network and introduce yourself!

2. Getting Settled: So, you've arrived, but now there's five islands you should get yourself acquainted with. Meet your starter home neighbors! Start your new job! Check out the market on Aerilon. Or, attend one of the many block parties!

3. Lost!: Somehow you got yourself turned around and confused and getting back to where you want to be is looking impossible.

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

Bran was quiet also after hearing all that. He'd known it was true but he hadn't wanted to believe it. Until now.

He swallowed and asked his next question. "And how...long ago...was that?"

He arches one eyebrow in turn, before he returns with all due tartness, "Why start at the middle, when I can begin at the top and take in all the rolling scenery?"

He sighed, rubbing one hand through his bright golden curls. "I see. Is there a library here, with more information?"

He could not work like this - he needed context, background, something he could set his feet on and walk towards.

"I would like it," Sansa says, giving him a soft smile. The smiles come easily around him and that comforts her. This is much easier than she thought it would have been.

"So long as you like it?"

[tallasaking]

"Well, so I have been given to understand. Honestly I have yet to see the truth in that." Tyrion looked over at him, before stating simply, "I can also take no for an answer, as well."

[tallasaking]

He looked at the other boy, his voice soft as he spoke, "It has been about three years, give or take."

[darkestauthor]

Henry snorted and continued on. He might have been frustrated by the slow pace had he not been previously used to it. Thankfully, he hadn't long been out the door when he'd run into Tyrion.

"Here we are." He opened the door and held it open for the smaller man before closing it behind him. "And I'm not good at giving out no as an answer. Too much negativity in the word."

That got a soft snort of laughter; not many guys had a comeback to her sarcasm, much less an actually funny one. "I like you, you're funny," she chuckled. "Yes, there is a library, though I've yet to find any concrete answers to the 'why are we on floating rocks' question that don't involve legends from a long time ago and way too much mystical crap for my liking."

She's much more fond of facts, numbers and physics and laws that can't be bent or disregarded. "Would you like me to walk you to it, or are you feeling froggy?"

[summerswarg]

Three years. What had he been doing as a cripple for three years? Riding? He mustn't have gone to King's Landing, that much was obvious, but could he really be trained to be Lord of Winterfell if he had no mobility of his own?

Eventually, Bran tore his mind back to the Imp and he turned his gaze upon him. "Thank you. For telling me the truth. And for having the courage my family did not."

At the question, Adam paused, hesitated, and then shrugged one shoulder a little. "Just a feeling, I guess," he replied, tossing the rag he was using to wipe things clean over his shoulder for safe-keeping. He, sadly, hadn't yet noticed the sensation beneath the earth. The hum in his deaf ear was too vague, too much for him to really focus on, and if it was a line like the one beneath Cabeswater, it definitely didn't need any help so far.

"I mean, unless you know exactly where you're going." A beat. "Maybe it's just that you don't look like you have a set destination. Not like most people around here."

As he spoke, Adam's eyes slid sideways, away from Medivh and over to the greatstaff. Most things didn't stand up like that all by themselves. He couldn't help but stare a little.

[tallasaking]

"Is that so? While I have spent a lifetime hearing it, and giving it to others. You must have had a much happier childhood than I did." He stated wryly, as he looked around with wide eyes. Taking in everything, exploring the room before him. The electrical lights were the first thing that drew his eye.

His lips quirked up - there was still nothing better than having a woman laugh at his humor. "I do what I can to amuse, outside of juggling rotten fruit." He hummed for a moment, before dipping into a slight bow.

"I am not ... froggy, but I am Tyrion Lannister. Would you be so kind as to escort me there?"

[tallasaking]

"Oh, it is not courage to be cruel, Bran Stark." And now the Imp sounds weary beyond his twenty odd years. "It is merely practice."

[darkestauthor]

Henry laughed out loud. "A happy childhood? What's that?" He was very glad his father was at work as Henry knew Neal's reaction would be pained. Henry took a seat in the living area and gestured for Tyrion to do the same, still chuckling slightly because after everything he'd been though, a happy childhood sounded ludicrous.

[summerswarg]

"You're not cruel. But I wonder if you would be if you stood a little higher on the ground."

Was it Tyrion's deformity that gave him compassion? Or would it have shone through regardless?

[tallasaking]

He looked over his shoulder at the young man, one eyebrow raising before he went to go sit down near Henry, "You are a puzzle, Henry Mills. You sound so hopeful for one who says he has tasted sorrow."

[tallasaking]

"By the Seven, I hope not. Even with a few more inches to me, I hope that would mean I was ever moved to kindness and not bringing pain to others." His face twisted then in memory. Save him from becoming his father, his sister. Even Jaime, to some extent.

[darkestauthor]

"I would hope so. It's the only thing I bring to the table. Though, technically I would say my grandmother brings hope. My mothers and my grandfather bring magic. My father and my other grandfather bring swords. I bring...belief. And stories." It sounded so pathetic when he said it like that. But he tried the magic and it didn't work. He'd never go down that road again.

"What do you bring, Tyrion Lannister?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

At her gentle smile, his own moved up at the corners, easing his expression into something warm. "I would like it, as well."

[summerswarg]

Bran nodded and managed a smile again. "Come on. We're meant to be finding Sansa."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"You can keep the rotten fruit, horrible sarcastic humor usually does me better," she said easily, with a tiny lopsided smile.

"Froggy is an expression, not a name, but it's nice to meet you, Tyrion Lannister. I'm Nori, short for Ashida Noriko." And she gestures him ahead of her, so sure, she's willing to walk just about anywhere.

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"Well, what I lack in height, I make up for in sardonic comments, so you are in luck." He smirked back at her, before starting to waddle in the direction she spoke of.

"Interesting -- what does 'froggy' mean, Nori?" Ashida Noriko - so her last name was in front of her first name. He would ask why in a moment.

[tallasaking]

"Ah, then you hold the true secrets then - for those are all wrapped up in stories." He smiled a little, before he thinks, "I bring knowledge, and wit, and ... usually some level of drunkness, but I am not sure if that is a detriment or otherwise. So I shall stick with knowledge."

[tallasaking]

"After you, Lord Bran." Tyrion bowed respectfully once more.

[darkestauthor]

Henry inclined his head, accepting this answer. "Would you excuse me for a moment? I may have something that interests you."

He stood, heading for the door and returned a few minutes later carrying a large book and setting it on the table in front of Tyrion.

"You like knowledge? My family's history is in there, if you can read between the lines."

[summerswarg]

Bran smiled wider. "You can call me just Bran if you like." They were both Lords in Westeros, but here they were simply a boy and a dwarf. Why bother?
