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!

He listened quietly, taking in the information as if he were reading it in one of the many books back in the library of Karazhan, his home. What seemed perplexing was hearing of the many different people here. Was his title carried over? If so, why? The things going on in Azeroth were far more threatening than a relatively peaceful floating kingdom.

And those were only his initial thoughts on the matter. Medivh couldn't even fathom at the moment that all these people were brought in from so many different places outside the realm he was tasked in protecting.

"Why? And for what purpose?" he questioned further. Why him?

[themerlin]

"None have found a reason why, nor a purpose. When confronted the Kind and Queen of this place denied any involvement or interest in the knowledge and shut their doors, making a magic-proof castle as far as is known."

Merlin arched an eyebrow.

"Some think there will likely be something we are needed for." He paused, then nodded.l "Something whoever need us for it is afraid of telling about, or cannot."

[thelast_guardian]

As if something called to him, he looked towards the castle's direction. It was indeed an interesting structure, not out of similarity to Llane's castle in Storwind. But because there was a draw to it.

"An impending threat." Medivh mused audibly, glancing down as they continued their walk. "Or, the feeling of. How does one prepare for one after so long of a period of peace?"

A rhetorical question.

Now, in saying, it's likely easy enough to tell that he speaks from experience than gleaning that from a 'feeling'. It had been 6 full years of peace in his world, enough that boredom set in and sculpting happened. Among other things.

Was this the calm before the storm like it was in Azeroth?

[themerlin]

Merlin grinned. "By learning of your world anew, by stocking what can be stocked, by posting sentries of good mind and open intellect, and by training and waiting." Thus spoke a quiet voice indeed.

"In the meantime, we have smaller things happening. Briefly, there was an attack by bunny monsters."

He said it with a straight face, utterly serious.

[thelast_guardian]

A scoff nearly sounded, but as ever, Medivh remained perfectly controlled. His expression never even hinted at how ludicrous that sounded. Then again, there were plenty odd creatures in his world. He wouldn't judge.

"A little smaller than the threats I have to contend with, or the realm at large. In fact, I fear the worst for them now that I'm here and not there. Where I should be. I have a purpose." Medivh explained.

[themerlin]

"All have purposes. I was the defender of my world, of both small and large threats. And we are not the only such. Good and evil, heroes and villains, kings and commoners, all have been brought here, with no explanations given."

Merlin chuckled bus his eyes blazed with passion. "The powers that be here care not for who we were or what we are. One and all are imprisoned here. And we strive to find out ways out, but for now this realm is where we are, and if we are defenders and guardians, then it is not just a place we guard, but a belief, and a reason."

[thelast_guardian]

In listening, Medivh's expression turned to one of surrender and agreement. The words from the other man was mere confirmation after the mage had crossed paths with numerous individuals to himself, all bearing a power of their own, aware of it, or not. But there was that burning question of 'why' that echoed in the minds of each of those he met. That much was easy enough to see.

It was quite apparent the explanation to the entire riddle would reveal itself when the time was good and ready.

"Is that what everyone believes? That their imprisoned? I don't feel that." he shook his head, blue-green eyes wandering off to the passing scenery of buildings and otherwise fairly happy people.

The atmosphere reminded him a lot of Stormwind.

[themerlin]

"Nay. Some think this is the afterlife, others a second chance. And the natives... they often seem reluctant to say anything at all. Some seem to think this is a protected place, though less so since the attack of the monster bunnnies." Merlin spread his hands and between them a picture formed of one of the bunnies in motion, spear in hand, growling and spitting toward a humanoid shape.
