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!

That's... okay, that's more than weird. Worse than weird, that's extremely worrying.

[ She pauses, glancing around to make sure she hasn't gotten herself lost. ]

So how long has that first group been here?

[thisismadfreaky]

Yeah, tell me about it. [He shrugs one shoulder.] Couple months? Maybe three.

[trigeminalheadache]

An entire culture or... civilization that doesn't know its own history? It makes me wonder if there isn't something about this world, this dimension, that causes something like it. [ She frowns, the expression creasing her brow. ] So not very long then.

[thisismadfreaky]

[He spreads his hands and shrugs.] I have no idea, it’s crazy. Even the stuff in the library is scarce on the actual history of the place. [He pauses and stares for a second.] Like something that makes them forget it all…

[ It's one of the things they do so well, working with each other, riffing on ideas. The process helps them get outside the box when they need to. ]

It could be something in the environment that takes the memories. Or—or there's a common thread, in food or drink, that causes the amnesia. Or makes them susceptible to believing that they've always been from here.

[ She's walking a bit faster now, so she can get to his place and they can do this in private. ] I wish there was someone here longer that may know more.

[thisismadfreaky]

It's so wide open what could be causing it. Especially when you consider some of the people here can do magic-- like, real, legit, mages and wizards magic, it just adds even more to the whole realm of possibilities.

[He nods a bit.] Yeah, so do I.

[trigeminalheadache]

I would accuse you of overdosing on Dungeons & Dragons, if mages and wizards didn't make some sort of sense right now. Are you thinking that it could be... something gone awry?

[thisismadfreaky]

I don't know. It's possible, right? Something just...backfired and now this is the result.

[trigeminalheadache]

That's... an incredibly scary thought. And I say that fully acknowledging that we were part of a massive disaster.

[thisismadfreaky]

Maybe we can investigate it. You know, later, after you've settled in and everything. [Because no way is he going to make her jump immediately in on this day one. Even if he's pretty sure she'd rather have something to focus on anyway. Adjustment periods are kind of needed for all the headspinny situational things of showing up here.]
