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!

"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.

"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.)

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"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.

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?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[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.

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"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.

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'."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"It's cute how you think I'm a lady," she said, laughing. "Or how you think I've never heard that size claim out of a guy before."

At the mention of their intelligence, Nori lifts a brow. "Well, they sound like they could either be incredible friends, or the worst enemies you'll ever have." Not unlike the people she was thinking off, oddly. "Do you not insult many people, then?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"I like to assume every woman is a lady, until she proves otherwise. I have found it true of queens and commoners alike." He gave her a sly smile, "Beyond that, how will you know I am lying until you see for yourself? Supposition without fact is a dangerous way to play any game, Nori."

He thinks about the reports he had of House Reed terrifying other Houses all along the North. "I would say ... yes." Now, he laughs. "It really just depends on the day - and my mood. Sometimes I go out of my way to insult people as best I can."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"Oh, now I have to ask what your criteria for being a lady are," she says. The better to disprove them that way! It'll be fun, Tyrion.

As to that smiling comment she looks down at him with an expectant look. "Well if that's you offering to whip it out in public, don't let me stop you. I'm sure someone would get a kick out of it." Noriko likes that laugh he has, and finds herself amused about it. "Good, I'd hate to be insulted badly. I like some creativity if people are gonna give me shit."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"A true lady had sense, some kind of wit, kindness beneath whatever roughness, steel beneath the sweet. She should defend the weak, and denounce the feckless. Fine manners are all well enough, but nobility is not born, it is made."

"I never whip my cock out in public unless I am going to use it. Otherwise it gets excited for no reason whatsoever, and I don't like to tease the poor thing." He stated smoothly, before he smirked back up at her. "Oh trust me, my insults will vary, and dance upon your ears with tiny daggered wings."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"So a man with tits," she said blithely--yay, gender equality--as they walked, nearing the library. "You might be disappointed with fine manners out of me, I always hated the whole hiding-behind-politeness thing." Somehow, though, she doubts Tyrion's going to care about her manners.

All for the better. At his teasing about the aforementioned poor thing, though, she was expecting an entirely different answer, and her glance at him is sharper, more perceptive if anything, though it's also a little more luminous. She's known guys for whom blue balls were not an option. "Man, you know how to make a girl feel so special."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"Or a woman with balls, however you would like them to swing." He shrugged, because honestly it could worth either way. He looked up at the library, his mis-matched eyes gleaming with intent, before he looked back at her. "Some of my dearest friends were as blunt as a hammer. I have a feeling you are the same way."

Now he laughed again, before he looked up at her, "One has to be given the opportunity to do so first, I've found. Whipping one's cock out for a lady's approval never seems to have the right effect in these cases."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"They're swinging? That just got interesting," she chuckles. "I don't tend to pull my punches, no. I don't like or have a lot of patience for people hiding behind words when they don't have the stones to say what they mean."

She rubbed a hand over the back of her neck at that, pretending to be thoughtful. "I wouldn't worry, you'll probably get another chance. Some of us are easy."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"Well naturally -- you can't expect them to observe all the proper etiquette if they do not swing." He volleys back at her, before he tipped his head down thoughtfully.

So he stops, and turns, and arches an eyebrow at her, "Now, when you say some of us, does that mean just myself - whom I know is quite loose in my sexual favors, or were you implying you would be willing to be loose with me -- or you have suggestions on where I can find others who are of a similar witty and seductive timber. I am equally pleased with either of the latter options."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

Noriko just stops for a minute and laughs--she'd be sorry, except she's really never had anyone ask her to specify what she meant quite that way, with that many options.

"I meant that I'm pretty sure not everyone in this place is uptight. I haven't found a brothel yet, though. As far as the two of us knocking boots, that'll take a couple more conversations."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

Now, he'll just smirk at her because any time he can get a woman to laugh? Means he is that much closer to charming her.

"Well, the first option is good to hear. The second, alas, not so much but I believe I shall be avoiding brothels for ... some time." He arches an eyebrow at her, shaking his head and clicking his tongue just slightly. "My dear Nori, you should know. Talking is one of my best talents. I look forward to our verbal spars."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"You know, you really shouldn't say that," she says with a cheeky grin. "It'll only encourage me."

Beat. "What're you avoiding them for? You catch the clap?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"I like encouraging beautiful women to do questionable things with me." He states with a mock serious face.

Another beat. "No ... I ... fell in love with a woman from a brothel. That feeling was used against me. I am afraid I am quite soured on such affections."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"Oh, talking with you is hardly the questionable part," Noriko replies breezily, talking over her shoulder as she climbs up the stairs. "Usually that's what comes later after you're already trashed."

She looks down for a second at his admission, but covers it well. "...Fair enough. People can be assholes." She'd know better than most, as the two bullet scars in her back can show. "Want to go in?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"That's true ... I do tend to get rather thrown off by large amounts of liquor." He smiled softly, "However if I am not trashed, what will you do then?"

He sighed softly, "I agree. People can be do a great deal of harm to one another." He looked up at her, arching an eyebrow, "Naturally. I am like a fish out of water, without my books. After you?"

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[electro_kinetic]

"What, if we're both sober?" she shrugs, seemingly thoughtful as she strolled to the doors, pulling them open. "Don't know. I'd have to think about it. And figure out if they have contraception around here."

Re: Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF | Option 3

[tallasaking]

"Well we don't have to be completely sober - but I would like to make sure I am seducing you and not a tree. That would just be embarrassing." He stated with a completely straight face, as he followed her through the doors. "Now, what is contraception?"
