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!

Merlin nodded. Good questions. "As far as I can tell, this is a world where Powers that Be, unnamed, have reached out across time and the multiverse to pluck people to this world for an unknown purpose. They do not communicate with us, but provide us with homes and some small resources to start, then, seemingly expect us to try to live and survive here."

he wave a hand around them. "There are natives, and even a King and Queen, but they seem all unaware of why this has happened, or how. So far, most of us are settling in, even as we continue to try to look for ways out."

Merlin nodded to her. "As for why you, in particular were chosen, I do not know. There seems to be no common denominator between all of us."

She cocked her hip to the side, resting her hand on it while her other went to her chin in thought. She was taken by force by the powers that be? Deities, obviously. But no reason given? Not even to the local monarchs?

"And the monarchy is alright with more people in their homeland? After all, we would be taking jobs and space from the natives."

[themerlin]

"In truth, they seem not only okay with it, but downright welcoming. Well, as much as one can say that when they secret themselves away in their castle, and do not open their doors to us. But we are given homes, and good ones, and some money to start, as well as a chance to live and work here."

He shook his head.

"There seem to be far fewer people here than possible jobs, actually." Which Merlin found suspicious, and worrying.

Genesis' brows furrowed at that. Then, her eyes widened.

"Please don't tell me I'm here to repopulate," Genesis looked rather insulted at the thought. "Even if I wanted to, I would be of no use."

She had better be here for more than that, if she was going to be forced to live here.

Sorry for the slow tagging!

[themerlin]

"Not as far as i know. Some have... begun to enjoy that most ancient of practice, but most seem just content to trying to find ways to... live." He chuckled.

"Many of us are looking into the limits here, pushing them in small ways, and trying not to... incur the wrath of the powers that can snatch people across time and space... not until we have a way to make it count." His voice started out merry, and turned grim in there somewhere.

<3

Genesis nodded at that, a bit visibly relieved. People having sex really didn't bother her, but as she was unable to bear children and hearing that there were not many people here to begin with, her mind naturally went to that.

"I see," She went back to looking thoughtful, resting her chin on a finger as she mulled over the information. Pushing the limits seemed plausible, especially in small ways. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission was something she most often used herself back in her SOLDIER days. "Has it yielded any results?"

"Not yet. So far as I can tell, there is a sphere surrounding us, and it obscures all outside it. It cannot be closely approached, not attacked, lest you wish to grow tired, dizzy, sick feeling and eventually die... only to rise again, sick with a feeling worse than any plague I've ever known in all my many years."

Merlin shuddered. "Over slow days that feeling goes away, but yes. Another here, an archangel, a being of power, grew frustrated with things, and used his power to try to break out or break things down, and lost his power for some time."
