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!

Alric nodded appreciatively at that gesture, smiling a touch more reassuringly.

"A place called 'Medietas.' There are many of us who are.. guests, here, so to speak, although I fear the details are as yet.. obscure. My name is Alric, of House Caelegart, of the Kaithenian Empire. And you are..?"

[littlexfinger]

"How many Starks are there here?" That seems to be the largest group from Westeros, and he should know what he's dealing with here. "I've known one of them since we were children."

[rockysmash]

Rocky's cruising by the docks, just looking to see if any of the latest arrivals are werewolves...

And he hears it.

Turning his head towards the battle cry, his jaw drops open and his eyes go wide. It's not long before his slack mouth is twitching at the edges as he fights not to smile.

"Motherfucker, you've gotta be fuckin' fucking with me." he breathes, moving towards the paladin.

"Hey, bro!" he calls out. "You all right?"

[brainiac5]

I hope that your amusement doesn't imply that you've already given up.

It may not be within our grasp, given the level of available technology. With such limited resources even I may have difficulty.

[element_wizard]

Given up requires there to have been an up to give.

I've been in these situations before. You're not getting out unless they want you to get out. There's no technology that can breach the barriers unless they want you to. This is a Genus Locus.

Re: Neville Longbottom |HP | 1

[pulledthesword]

Neville felt the magic, but it somehow felt familiar and he relaxed into it. It stabilized him enough that he didn't fall over.

"Luna?" The sword clattered at his feet as he raced towards her, sweeping her up into his arms.

[pulledthesword]

"Maybe? I.... I don't rightly know," He said looking at the man a little bit strangely. "I'm not supposed to be here."

[brainiac5]

[Eyes actually widen briefly at this news, assuming it on face value, which he doesn't, means any attempt they do make would fail.

His expression his mixed, annoyance, surprise also, but far less than his annoyance. Could it even be possible that nothing could be done? He admits it's far less likely for him to be able to be effective in a place like this than it would be back home with access to all the resources the Legion had at his disposal. It would be nothing to actually travel through dimensions with the machine he had just built.]

Any being that would be able to prevent such a breach is immensely powerful, as is bringing us here in the first place.

Is there a known reason?

Also... Other situations?

Re: Neville Longbottom |HP | 1

[radishearring]

Luna let herself be swept into Neville's hug, she had needed this more than she knew. "Its me Neville!" she was smiling for real now as she kicked the sword out of the way but made sure it was within sight of her and Neville. "Humor me for a second? What was the last thing you remember?" since she and Sirius had two different memories it was a way to know what was going on at home.

[element_wizard]

[Secretly... well, no not so secretly... Alec enjoys telling people in these sorts of situations that all is lost, they are all pawns etc. He needs better hobbies.]

Very powerful. Godlike, even, but I don't think they're gods. Just really powerful.

Known reason... hmmm... shits and giggles?


Yeah. Getting trapped in a pocket dimension, alternate reality, nexus point, take your pick for a while. Sometimes a few days sometimes years.

[brainiac5]

[You really do, Alec. It can really come down to that ancient concept of Karma, if you're not careful.]

...That is highly discouraging. Not outside the realm of possibilities. [Even magic, he had to begrudgingly admit, though it pained him, had been explicitly demonstrated to him. He does not care to recollect that incident.]

And how common is this? [Should he happen to escape, he may have to devise a mass exodus of kidnapped individuals away from these... Nexus dimensions.]

Re: Neville Longbottom |HP | 1

[pulledthesword]

Neville just held on a little tighter as he breathed in Luna's scent for a moment. He wasn't sure if he was ever going to see her again.

"I'm so happy to see you," He whispered. "I killed the snake.... and then nothing. I don't remember."

[element_wizard]

[Oh, Karma regularly kicks him in the ass and dumps him head first in the trash. He knows it too. There's a reason why he gets stuck in so many frustrating realities after all. That being said he and common sense have a restraining order against each other so he continues to do what he does.]

Nothing is out side of the realm of possibility. Somethings are less probable than others but nothing is outside the realm of possibility.

[Which he knows, being a probability manipulator.]

How common... hm... it depends on the type. Alternate realities are, of course, so wide spread that you can't spit without hitting one. Pocket dimensions aren't that common, it takes work to set them up or the natural circumstances to create them are rather difficult to trigger. Nexus points are about the same, but where as pocket dimensions are rather like a slight bulge

[He draws a glowing line in the air and then adds a small nobby bit on the edge of it.]

Like that. Nexus points, on the other hand, are cross over points between various universes or realities.

[Some more glowing lines, this time crossing over each other at a particular point which he then circled.]

These, if you know what you're doing can be artificially created or they can occur naturally, as well.

This place here, I believe, is an artificially created nexus point. Beings created portals or ... something...

[Vague handwave.]

To pull others here for some reason or another.

Rather like a black hole!

Catelyn Tully Stark | Game of Thrones

[wintertrout]

She doesn't recall having boarded the boat she wakes on. It's alarming, given recent events, more so when she can find no one familiar aboard the boat and no answers as to why she's on it. The alarm turns more into confusion when she gets a look at beyond the boat. She is not on any river, nor any sea, instead the boat travels through the sky toward a collection of islands that also float in the sky with no support to be seen.

She disembarked and accepted the items given to her, unfortunately though her questions are largely brushed aside and eventually she gave up hope in getting any answers from the greeter after persistence gets her nowhere. The name and the map of the place she's been given is no place she knows and she doesn't understand what the item she's been given is, let alone what she's to do with it. After a fruitless minute of trying to decipher the purpose of the buttons it held, she put it up in a pocket along with the map as she headed for the town beyond the docks.

The greeter had been useless when it came to being informative, but surely she could find someone who was willing to give her the knowledge she sought.

Wildcard: Network
[There is a moment of static, followed by the sound of the docks. Just the audio and only for a few seconds before its cut off. A few seconds after it ended there's video and sound. An older tired seeming woman with fair skin, long auburn hair and frustrated blue eyes.]

I haven't time for this.

[The words are softly spoken, almost a whisper, irritated. The feed abruptly shuts itself off after the last word is spoken.]

Re: Neville Longbottom |HP | 1

[radishearring]

"We had just escaped Malfoy Manor last I knew." Luna revealed in a whisper. "Harry and the others had just saved me, Dobby and Mr. Ollivander. Then I came to on the flying boats, which are strange enough given home right?" as she attempted to fill in the blanks. "But my wand somehow is here, found it tucked into my ponytail."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric takes a moment to count for himself, glancing aside.

"Let's see... five, I believe? If I've not missed any, that is."

He smiles to himself, intrigued at that announcement.

"Indeed..? They certainly seem a respectable family, at least." A brief pause, there, and his smile fades somewhat. "...I gather the war in Westeros has been... exceptionally hard on them."

From what he'd heard, and gauging by Petyr's age, Alric has to assume the Stark in question is one of those he'd heard had died at some point in the ongoing conflict. No need to ask more directly, then.

[these_are_my_words]

[She doesn't sway. She never swayed when he shot her, she won't sway now. Instead she goes rigid as a dead tree, feeling hollow and brittle all at once.]

Dead? What do you mean safe?

Re: Jaenelle Angelline | The Black Jewels | Arrival

[birthrightblack]

"I've never been good at Craft," Jaenelle admits, laughing airily. "The big things, certainly, but I've never been very good at anything that requires a measure of finesse. I'm learning, though!"

She's hopeful that someday, in the future, she might be able to do those simple things better.

Re: Catelyn Tully Stark | Game of Thrones

[theladyofwinterfell]

When Sansa sees her, she's stricken for a moment. She has longed to see her mother for so many years and now when faced with her, she worries what she might think. Will she know that she's been used ill, that she's not the maiden that Catelyn had sent off to King's Landing.

Still, she's her mother. How could her lady mother ever hate her? Sansa runs to her, stopping just short.

"Mother! Mother, it's me!"

Re: Catelyn Tully Stark | Game of Thrones

[cricketsong]

"Are you in need of help, m'lady?" Cricket asked politely. She looked like a 'M'Lady' and not a 'ma'am' or "miss'. Bards were good at noticing those sorts of things. Even those wearing leather jackets, jeans and sneakers.

Ladies enjoyed polite people who were willing to defer and bow. While he won't completely bow to her, he will defer for now.

[alive_through_luck]

Winged eyes? Monsters? More floaty islands? What the hell?

"We didn't have to worry 'bout all that. Just...the Alliance. Loads of people got sick once..." BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT! Duo shook his head and looked at the environment around him. Loads of buildings, like the colony. But these were nicer. Much nicer.

"How much longer 'til we get to where we're going?"

Re: Catelyn Tully Stark | Game of Thrones

[themerlin]

"Greetings, milady, and welcome to Medietas." The voice was old, but strong, as was the man who used it. Merlin stood well above six feet tall, and thin, but muscled, something that showed in his current clothing of tunic, jeans, and sandals. He held on to a staff fully as tall as he, ebony in color, and wreathed with runes. And his waist was hung with a belt that holds many pouches, as well as a sword in it's sheath.

Merlin had seen the look on her face and well, he had seen that look before.

"Might I be right in assuming you are newly arrived?"

[kingofbadlifechoices]

When he sees his mother getting off one of the boats he cannot help a relieved sort of sigh. Of course, he should not. It is alarming that they took her from Riverrun with such ease. He steps out of the shadows, Grey Wind trailing close.

"Mother!" Robb waves at her, smiling a little. "I had not expected to see you here!"

He walks with large, sure steps.

"Have they treated you well?"

[orions_shadow]

"Give or take five minutes. Ida run if it weren't so hot. At least you get to ride." So hush up, little monkey.


"Sick, huh? I bet, a big floating space station n' the sky they prolly fucked up with something. Rebreathing the same air, redrinking the same water. Ick."

"If I run, I'll probably fall right over when we get there." But he does pick up the pace.

"You ever seen a horse before?"

Re: Jaenelle Angelline | The Black Jewels | Arrival

[element_wizard]

"My finesse sucks balls. I'm about as subtle as a using an explosion to destroy an anthill. At least that's what a friend says about me. He's usually right."

Alec knows that he'll never be subtle. It's a flaw of his.
