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!

"A skill I am only too good with." He picked up the book, and carefully flipped to the first page. He eyed it for a moment, then looked up at Henry, "You were understating your sad childhood, I see."

"Oh good, I generally make up for what I lack the same way. And froggy?" she continued, breezing right past what exactly it was that she lacked. It was a long list. "It means to be anxious to do something. Usually it connotes something violent or exceptionally foolish, but that's not mandatory. It comes from being jumpy. Like a frog."

Americans, what can she say. (Not that her own country's sayings made any more sense.)

[tallasaking]

"I will as long as you simply call me Tyrion. Or Imp, if you are feeling frustrated." He gave the boy a mock-solemn nod.

[darkestauthor]

"Oh, I'm not in the book. It's how my mother was born and how my other mother tried to take revenge my grandmother while being her step mother. It's a bit of a screwed up family tree."

Henry was starting to wonder if he'd finally met someone who didn't know who his family was first. So far, everyone knew the names of Snow White, Prince Charming and Rumplestiltskin but not the real versions. It was interesting to get the reaction from someone completely unbiased.

[summerswarg]

Bran nodded back. "Tyrion." He'd remember that though. Frustration could come quite easily to the boy even if it wasn't the Imp's doing.

"Mmm, I say that you have me by at least a foot -- so I shall happily take my prize as most concentrated sarcasm." He walked along, parsing that one out, "Considering what I know of the Cranognan children -- that is more accurate than I would have imagined." The frog-eaters were, if anything, anxious to bring back the old ways and scorn the rest of them for the Seven Gods.

[tallasaking]

"... Quite so, but Henry, books are like people, and they show an impression of the kind of person they are. You tell me this is your family's history - and I can see instead of the sort of loving disrepair of fondness and many hands touching this volume -- that it has been carefully preserved. Except for the binding, which I am sure falls open to your favorite spots."

He does prove Henry right as he turns over the first page, and frowns, "Who is ... Snow White?"

[tallasaking]

"I have a feeling you shall use both, and frequently." Tyrion stated simply, as he and Bran walked down the street together, side by side.

Nori let out a snort at that. "As they say, it's not the size of the wand but the magic in the holder. And as far as height I have you beat only just by about a foot," she said; she was short, there wasn't a lot else that could be said about that. But she made up for it in numerous and interesting ways, like being able to stop a man's heart at twenty paces. And glow, though the daylight mostly hid that one. Mostly.

"I have no idea who or what the Cranognan children are, but they sound interesting. Are they literal children?"

[summerswarg]

"I hope not." He answered. They walked for a while in silence then Bran pointed at a house. "There. That's Sansa's house."

[darkestauthor]

Henry smiling, taking a seat beside Tyrion so they could look through the book together. If the other man did try and find Henry's favourite spot in the book, it would be a picture of a boy.

"She's my maternal grandmother. And technically my sister."

[tallasaking]

He stops. He stares. He ... swallows, before he pulls on his tunic and clears his throat.

"Well, clearly this is as presentable as I am going to be. Shall we?"

[tallasaking]

He would try it, and he would look at the boy for a long moment, before looking back at Snow White, "I come from a family of many levels of inbreeding -- but even I have problems understanding that."

[tallasaking]

"Which just means I have more concentrated magic." He countered, his lips curving up in a wicked smile. "Amongst other things." Wit, knowledge, the ability to out-talk or out-annoy any of his enemies.

"They are literal children, born of the Cranognan men, our swamp people. They live towards the North, wilding children who keep to our old ways."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"Is that an admission on your wand size?" she asked, a vague smile flirting around her mouth as she looked down at the blond head beside her. "Among other things."

Two could definitely play at that game and it'd been a while since Noriko had the opportunity to be not only mouthy but teasing, because her brand of teasing--this--wasn't usually received well outside people who knew her, and she was not at that stage with anyone here yet. "Oh," Nori said. "Rednecks. Okay. Gotcha."

Ask her what she knows about them sometime. She could tell you stories that'd make sailors blush. "Kids aren't usually that hard to deal with, though."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"If I was going to admit to my wand size, I would tell you it would be considered disproportionate to someone of my stature." He arched an eyebrow up at her, smirking at that smile. "Among other things."

Well, Nori, you were in luck. You had fallen in with the most teasing fellow in all of Westeros. He frowned though, before shrugging, "Rednecks is a bit odd, but certainly."

"Depends on the children." This he knew personally.

[darkestauthor]

Henry grinned and flipped the book to the back page. On the inside back cover was a crudely drawn family tree with himself at the bottom. It always interested him to note how many different families seemed to be involved. Barely anyone shared a surname.

"The crosses denote dead people. And the wavy line is the important part. I was adopted as a baby."

[summerswarg]

Bran had already gone and opened the door but before he could call out for his sister, he was attacked by a large dog. Or rather, a small direwolf puppy. "Missed you too, Summer." He picked up his pup and let him lick his face. "Summer, this is Tyrion. Don't eat him yet."

Summer wriggled out of Bran's embrace and went over to sniff Tyrion while Bran went inside, looking for Sansa.

[tallasaking]

He peered to look at it, his finger tracing over the different families, his gaze widening. "Your family tree is certainly ...complex."

[tallasaking]

Tyrion knelt down, holding out his hand to Summer. Knowing all too well that Summer could at any point jump up and tear his throat out. "Well hello, Summr, it has been quite some time."

[darkestauthor]

"Yup." Henry agreed. "And those are just the names I grew up with. The ones with surnames have different ones in the book." He pointed to Mary Margaret Blanchard. "She's Snow White, but I grew up knowing her as Miss Blanchard. Then we have Prince Charming, her husband. The Evil Queen, her step mother and my adoptive mother, and finally my other grandfather is known as Rumplestiltskin." He pointed to each in turn as he spoke, first to David, then Regina and finally to Mr Gold. "The very latter of those mentioned are here in Medietas."

[summerswarg]

Summer sniffed the hand and growled softly, but heeded his master's order and gave the hand a single lick before trotting off to find him. Bran returned a moment later with the direwolf in tow. "Sansa's not here. But we can wait for her. There's always food in the kitchen if we get hungry."

"That would have to be awfully small," she said, smiling dryly. "Pity."

She huffed. "Redneck is what we can swamp people and their kin in my world. So named because they're usually too stupid to do much other than field labor, hence sunburns on the back of the neck. They're generally not fun people; what they lack in intelligence they make up for in rabid dislike of people who look different." Like her, even before the blue hair.

[tallasaking]

"So ... your grandfathers are here, along with your adopted mother, who is also your ... maternal step-grandmother. Which makes this one grandfather your grandfather and your brother in law." He scratches his forehead. "Are you certain this is not incestous?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"Other direction, my dear lady, other direction." He stated with mock severity. "Please give me credit where my credit is due."

Aaaaahhh. "Then no, they are not like that. They are more intelligent than most, and great fighters besides. I would never insult them by calling them 'rednecks'."
