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!

Oh god, so it was him. She doesn't bother waiting for him to really dart toward her. Instead, she moves towards him and wraps her arms around him in a tight hug burying her face into his chest. She could feel the tears trying to well up because this is something she'd wanted, hoped for. Just... this was more than she could've ever hoped for. Right now, however, she didn't want to let go of him. After all, with how her brain worked she figured if she let go then he'd disappear.

"You're okay. You're here."

[sheriffdad]

He held on to her, tight and close, stroking her hair as he had so many times, hands making sure it was her, and then holding on. She was safe. And maybe, yes, he would wish she could be safe at home... but home was never safe. At least here,, he could be around, and try to help.

"God, I'm glad to see you, so glad." He murmured the words to her, holding on. His girl, his daughter, was here and seemed okay. And that meant his world was back on axis. Back on right on it's correct function.

He could breathe again.

...if she didn't squeeze his lungs out, that was.

...eh, he could deal.

He smiled as he held on, and if there was moisture in his eyes, it was probably dust, or allergies. Yes.

"Seems like you found an adventure again."

[cant_take_waiting]

Eventually she pulls back and gives her dad a smile. The tears, they were going to be ignored. As long as her old man ignored the ones that were forming in her eyes. All she knew was that she couldn't be happier to see him.

"You're not hurt are you? You're really okay? Nothing hurts? Where did they even house you?" Well, sheriff, this would be your daughter talking a mile a minute. Hey, they were all valid questions that she needed answers to as well.

[sheriffdad]

He could totally ignore those, Yep. Even as he grinned like a loon. "I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Are you fine? What's going on?" Because really, they were on floating islands. He needed perspective. "I'm really here. And, ah..." He dug out the paper he had written down his assignment on.

"I'm on Imber." He nodded and stuffed it back in his pockets.

"How long have you been here? Where are you assigned? Where's Scott?" Because, again, imagining one without the other was... hard.

[cant_take_waiting]

"I'm doing great," she says with a bit of a laugh. "As for what's going on we're in a place called Medietas and we're on, well, floating Islands. That much was obvious though wasn't it?" Hearing where he was being assigned she couldn't help but give a huge grin," I'm on Imber in 106."

"Uh... I've been here for a while, lost track of how long." Because so much has gone on since she's gotten there. So it's been a while, that was for sure. "As for Scotty, he's here too. So is Lydia and Derek."

[sheriffdad]

He listened to her. She sounded normal, even okay. And that was good. He smiled and relaxed, just a little, As long as she was okay, he could deal with... whatever this was.

"Have you eaten recently? Taken your meds?" The words were soft, meant for no one else's ears, and totally dadspeak.

"Sounds like we're neighbors. Think you can deal with being near your dad again?" He grinned at her, worried and impressed, both, with how well things were going.

"So... half the pack. And Derek." Okay, so he tended to treat Derek as the red-headed step-child of the group. Yes. This was true.

[cant_take_waiting]

She was as okay as she'd ever be. Which was to say that she had a little voice in her head that she was actively trying to ignore. Maybe it was because the meds had stopped working or perhaps it was because she'd stopped taking them. "Yes and yes, dad," she says with a bit of a chuckle.

"I don't know... maybe I'd prefer it if you moved in with me instead," she tells him. It would make her nights easier and there'd be less nightmares. At least that's what she told herself anyway. "Hey! Leave my sourwolf alone. He's pack too, you know. Always will be even if disappeared for a while."

"ALSO, I have a job here."

[sheriffdad]

John smiled a little. She was just as opinionated and quick to speak those opinions, as ever, and he loved her all the more for it. "Sure having dad in the house wont cramp your style?" He spoke it with a little smirk, but he was half-serious. The last thing he wanted to do was get in the way of his daughter having a full life, even if he cringed at the idea of her having sex. Or rather, of knowing about it.

He had made damn sure she knew everything she could about it, as soon as he could, as awkward as that had been. No daughter of his would ever be uneducated. Ever.

"Okay! Okay. I know when I'm defeated." he raised his hands in surrender, then grinned, eyes wider, if maybe a little playfully.

"You got a job?"

[cant_take_waiting]

"It's not going to cramp my style, dad," she says with a bit of a grin. "Besides, I'd rather have a home that has my dad in it than one that's got me by myself. I don't like the silence of the place. That actually kind of sucks." It did a bit more than sucked. Especially when she didn't hear her dad coming or going at all odd hours. Scott had stuck around a little bit, but not permanently.

"Yep! At a little coffee shop here," she tells him with a grin.

[sheriffdad]

John nodded, then smiled wider. "Well, then, okay. As long as i can find a job and help."

he paused. "You really have a job?" It was teasing, and gentle, and there was pride in his voice. His girl was growing up!

"Well, you know me, I'm the noisy neighbor." He felt like he had gone through a time warp. Here was his girl, doing adult things, even more than saving the world. How had he missed this?

[cant_take_waiting]

"They've got a police department here if you want to go back working for the Force," she points out with a smile. "Or you could work in one of the bars or shops around the Islands." She can't help but laugh a little," I really have a job, daddy. I work for Mugs Coffee. So ALL the coffee I could ever want whenever I want."

[sheriffdad]

"I guess I'll have to look into it." He would love to say he would find something easy to do, but really... he was a cop. And a dad, too, over all. He would likely always be those things.

"Someone let you have unlimited coffee, and the islands are still standing? I'm impressed." He poked the wall near them. "This place must be sturdier than i thought." He teased her lightly, eyes on her, warm with love and laughter.

[cant_take_waiting]

"Guess you will," she says with a bit of a chuckle. "I mean, I can't really see you doing anything else." Actually, she tried to think of her dad doing something other than being a cop. That really didn't sit right with her.

"The islands are still standing and I've had all the coffee I can handle," she says with a grin. "It's pretty damn sturdy."

[sheriffdad]

"Good to know. How about you show your dad around, and maybe we get some of this coffee you're talking about, since you're gainfully employed and all." Teasing his daughter? Was fun.

He gently hugged her shoulders with one arm, enjoying being able to do that.

"And how's your sleep been?" Don't think he didn't notice, young lady. You may be good at keeping some secrets, but not all of them.
