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!

"You?" Will couldn't help but make a face. Maybe that wasn't so surprising. He wasn't sure. It wasn't like he had ever gone on a quest, and he didn't really hang around Annabeth that often when Nico wasn't around. He was more Annabeth-friendly by Nico proxy. "You've run out of ideas?" He gave a shrug.

"Have you tried asking Athena for any help? Cause my Dad's still....let's just call it out of commission." He really didn't want to think about Apollo's condition. He just hoped he was okay back at camp. If Apollo died......

[yearrounder]

"Yeah, I heard about that." Awkward didn't even begin to describe it. She'd feel weird if that happened to Athena. Not that she could even think of a reason that it would.

"The thing about Athena is that she expects her children to work things out on their own." There wouldn't be any help from her. At least not directly. "I haven't had a chance for an offering anyway."

[sonofacesius]

Will was thankful she didn't ask more. It was awkward. A whole lot of awkward. What did you even do when something like that happened? When your dad, the God Apollo, gets stuffed into the body of a 15 year old mortal boy. It was scary. It was also just plain weird, sleeping in the same cabin as your dad. And...having to teach him how to use things like the shower and a toothbrush.

Now he didn't even have any of his siblings to talk about it with. "Alright then, we're not getting any help." He paused. " Anything interesting on that phone? Think i should fish mine out of the trash can?" If nothing else they needed to eat. Maybe they could sell it?

[yearrounder]

Unfortunately, it seemed, she needed to prioritize what to worry about. The problem of gods becoming mortal was indeed A Problem (capitalized for emphasis and everything), but the more immediate issue was figuring out what had gotten them here. And where the exit was.

She didn't exactly blame him for ditching the phone, though. She wasn't supposed to have one either.

"I don't know yet. It might be better to have it, but I don't know what monsters are around. But my best guess is this one will work and the ones from home won't."

[sonofacesius]

Oh Annabeth, Will was both been there and done that'. Prioritizing was one of the things he did best. But it was kind of nice to let someone take the lead on it for once, especially considering no one was dying or bleeding out. And Annabeth had more experience with this sort of thing than he did.

"Might as well fish it out. I'll keep it turned off." Will went over to the trash can to grab the phone he previously dumped there. He figured if anything she should be the one to try it. For one, Annabeth had more combat skills than he did. And she was older. She'd lived a long full life!

[yearrounder]

"They seemed a little too eager to make sure we had it, it has to be important to somebody." Which probably meant that it actually would be the instrument of their demise, but then again, that could be anything. If whoever had brought her here wanted her to have a way to communicate, she'd take it--and find some way to use it against them.

"What I really don't understand is if they're going to abduct us, why would they let us run loose in an entire city?"

[sonofacesius]

"It will probably kill us," Will nodded, agreeing with her. She was right. They wanted them to have it very badly. It would probably seep poison or make monsters extra focused on killing you.

He turned to Annabeth. "We should seperate sometime and see if we can Iris message each other, rather than camp. Just in case. I don't know about you, but I don't want this thing to be the only way we can communicate." He took a look around. "I don't know, but I don't think we're in Kansas. Or New York for that matter."

[yearrounder]

"That's probably a good idea. I'm...not sure how effective it would be, though." Did she even bring any drachma with her? She wasn't quite so sure that Iris would take anything else, even if they could get a hold of her.

"I don't even know where this is." The architecture was strange, the whole place looked...odd. Like it didn't quite belong on Earth. But...that wasn't possible.

...was it?

[sonofacesius]

Will's heart sank a little. He had been hoping Annabeth would know where they were. For one, she had actually gone on quests.Like out in the real world. And two, she knew architecture. If she wasn't sure where this was....

"Do you think we're out of the gods range or something?" That was kind of a scary though. Something beyond the Gods or the Titans. Something more. And he was with Annabeth. Who he didn't really know all that well,besides what he had learned hanging out with Nico.

[yearrounder]

"I don't know." Not words that enjoyed saying, really. She was supposed to know. It's really the only thing she was good for. Not knowing was almost a new concept and not one she'd like having to get accustomed to.

"We should at least try. Maybe it will work. And if it doesn't that's more information that we can use." Maybe there was some more information out there and they just hadn't gotten to it yet.

She could try to be positive. at least.

[sonofacesius]

Annabeth really didn't seem happy about not knowing things. Which made sense, Will guessed. As a daughter of Athena, her main power was her mind, and without information, she was at a disadvantage.

"I guess you're right. Now we just have to find a drachma. At least we can try that first. I think I have one." He had stashed one on him just in case he needed it during the race. In case Nico passed out or was too injured to complete it. He dug into his pockets and brought out the coin, offering it to Annabeth.

[yearrounder]

"Okay. All we need now is a rainbow." Finding one of those might be a challenge, but they could make it work. She glanced around the area for a few moments, but didn't see anything that could help. Frustrating, but that didn't mean that there was nothing they could do.

"We need to find a prism or something that can make some mist."

[sonofacesius]

Will shook his head. "I had a bottle of water, but it's not here anymore. I set everything down to work on Paolo." Looking around, he hoped to find a fountain or something they could use. "Maybe we could get a glass of water somewhere?" Will sighed, not ready to give up but there was only so much they could do without a rainbow. Now rainbow, no Iris Message.

"Maybe we can find something later. This place looks huge."

[yearrounder]

"Yeah. That's kind of what I'm counting on." There had to be something they could use somewhere, right? They might need to get creative, but there couldn't just be nothing.

"We'll figure it out. For now it might be best to just stay close to each other. Or else we do have these weird phones."

[sonofacesius]

Yeah, Will really wasn't that crazy about the weird phones. That's why he had thrown his out.

"But what about the monsters, Annabeth ? They'll hear us. Where ever they are. Hey, maybe they can give us directions." He grinned, laughing a little at his own stupid joke.

He couldn't help but look around, at the people milling around, the market place, everything. "Think any of them are demigods too?"

[yearrounder]

"It...might be alright. I've had a cell phone for a while and I'm still here." She paused for a moment, almost looking guilty. "Don't tell Chiron." He probably already knew, but she could pretend she had one secret left.

"Probably. There are a lot that don't make it to camp, even with Percy's reward for defeating Kronos." That was stupid, but really, she didn't expect any better from them.

[sonofacesius]

Will's eyes widened to find out she had such an illegal object on her. At least if they did attract monsters, maybe they'd kill Annabeth and her cell phone first? Great. "He will kill you if he finds out. You have to tell him."

Shaking her head good-naturedly at her, he shrugged. "Maybe we'll luck out. Maybe they wont find us." He looks around, trying to find a neutral topic to ask her while they investigate. Weaponless. With a cell phone. Technically 3 cell phones. The Gods were laughing. Except for his father who was probably still checking out his pimples and his flab.

"So....How's Percy?"

[yearrounder]

"It's for emergencies. Like 'Hey Annabeth, it's dad, I just found out your aunt died and you cousin is living on the street we should probably go take care of that.' I don't just use it, I'm not stupid." And it had come in handy when Piper had first come to camp. It had turned out more useful than dangerous. So far.

"He's fine. Studying most of the time." Which was kind of adorable when she thought about it. "How's Nico?"

[sonofacesius]

"You Annabeth, are anything but stupid," Will said, looking at her. "If you think it's worth it, I believe you."

Will gave a little smile when Annabeth asked about Nico. "You might not recognize him. I think I saw him smile the other day." He missed Nico. It was a little odd not being with him right now. After all, doctors note!

[yearrounder]

That remark about Nico earned a raised eyebrow, though she was trying not to smile through it. "Are you sure? I thought he'd explode if he did. You sure it's still Nico? Did I miss an invasion of pod people or something?"

[sonofacesius]

Will learned something new about Annabeth just then. She had a good sense of humor! "Nope, he can actually smile. I guess it's possible it was actually just gas or something though." He smiled. "Chiron's letting him sit at the Apollo table. Turns out there's bit of a problem if he sits alone at the Hades table. Zombie's pop up, cracks open in the floor. It's a little scary. Luckily he has a doctors note."

Solace gave a grin. "I'm his doctor."

[yearrounder]

"Uh-huh. I bet." Somehow, it really wasn't surprising, even though it really was. It was nice to hear that Nico was opening up to people, but with Will it was almost to be expected.

"How much fighting with Chiron did you have to do to manage that?"
