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!

3. Event: The Faire's in town! Feast, socialize, dance, play games! There's plenty to do and the grounds on Mundus are packed with festivities for all to enjoy.

4. Wild Card: Got something else in mind and want to create your own scenario? Go for it!

Remy was jogging when he spotted her, and swerved to follow her. Then he paused as she did and grinned. He waited for that perfect moment wit her bent and her head upside down, water streaming downward, to speak, his drawl thick.

"Now, there's a sight for sore eyes, chere'. Makes a man wish he had come along sooner." Remy'd never say that to anyone he couldn't joke with, but Noriko? He was better could take and give it, just as well.

"Not unless you like getting wet," she says. "May get soaked, even," Noriko amends, flipping her head back up and slinging water droplets off her hair, uncaring of them dripping down her back as she fastens it up again into a messy knot.

But when she sees Remy and the drawl of his voice clues in, her smile brightens and Nori leans back against the corner of the building she'd stopped at. "Same goes for you, Cajun," she says, shaking her head. "God, I'm glad to see someone I know." She didn't give him much more warning before she just tugged him in for a tight embrace, arms draping over his shoulders.

"Getting soaked sounds like fun." Remy grinned and caught her, pulling her close and hard, smiling. He got it. He'd been far away from people he knew and who knew him for long periods before. He understood. His voice murmured in her ears as he held her, not carting if he got wet from her wet hair, and just inhaling her scent and stroking her back gently.

"I've got you, Noriko. Not alone anymore." His voice was soft, for her ears alone, and he held her until she seemed to pull or push back, before letting go. Then he smiled down at her, lopsidedly. "S'good to see you too, NoriNori."

"Yeah, you'd think so," she murmured, half clinging to him out of gladness of knowing someone here, having found even a little bit of the familiar she'd been practically aching for.

"Oh my god, Remy," she said into his shoulder, fingers tightening against his skin. "I missed everyone so much."

"I'm sorry, Nori. I'd a known you were somewhere locked away, woulda come and gotten you, no matter what." Remy'd done a lot of bad things, but he'd never left a friend, or a student, behind. He gently stroked her hair, holding her close, and just breathing, hoping he could find a way he help her get home, help her somehow. That sound in her voice, that had torn inside him, and he just held her close, feeling a need to do so himself, too.

"Not going anywhere, dat's for sure, okay?"

"You better not."

She's not letting go anytime soon, and if Remy feels her vibrating, almost trembling, Noriko's unlikely to admit it. But for the past months at home she's grown almost used to the frighteningly small current number of mutants, the two hundred that she could name and list without thinking, and as soon as she'd gotten past the shellshock of that she'd been here, alone, without anyone else who could understand.

"Y' can count on me." He shifted, and half lifted, half shifted her toward s bench, where he sat and pulled her, whatever her size and weight, to his lap. And public or not, he snuggled her close, holding her to him and burying his face against her hair. "I got you, Norinori, I got you." His voice was gentle, warm, and quiet, and he was not letting go.

One hand edged up and stroked her hair, and he smiled a little to himself.

She simply folded up, heavier than she looked but still tiny, and wound herself out of the way. In many ways it was better for her to see Remy rather than someone she'd been closer to, like Sooraya or David. It was easy to forget that they were all only barely adults, and unprepared for what had been dropped on them after the Decimation, and without any support at all the cracks were showing.

"I want to go home, and there's no way to leave."

"I'm sorry, Noriko." And he was. He was not fond of cages. If he'd had a choice, or a Door, maybe, leading back home, it would be one thing. But this? No. This was a mess. And he hated, even more, that she had been stuck here, alone.

So he held her, and stroked her hair and back, and he remembered how his Tante Mae had done the same for him after he had come back from the tunnels. Noriko wasn't a child, just as he hadn't been one then, and he hoped she could take the comfort he could give. He pressed a kiss to her hair, and held her, and prayed for worlds where people didn't get lost in the chaos and noise.

"Can' take you home, chere', but as long as I'm here, you don' have to be alone."

She felt better in Remy's lap than she had the entire time she'd been here, and slowly she calmed down, the trembling ceasing as she lifted her head.

"I'm glad you're here, Remy."

Remy gave her a genuine and gentle smile, and for once, forwent the smart ass comments. "Thanks, Noriko. Why don't we get somewhere a little more comfortable for hugging?" He smiled softly. "Think you can lead me somewhere like that?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Or you goin' to make me carry you dere, m'self?" He grinned as he teased her a little. He'd do it, for real if she needed it, and he hoped she knew that.

"I have a house." They gave her one, which surprised the fuck out of her on arrival; she hadn't done a whole lot to it short of houseplants and some removable wall decorations, but it was hers and she didn't have to share. Yet.

She wouldn't readily admit it but she missed having people around all the time, a thought which wasn't much lessened as she unwound from Remy and slid to her feet. "It's on another island, though."

Remy rose, and smiled. "I'd follow you anywhere." He grinned at her with a little teasing, but mostly warmth.

"Remy would love to see what you've done with the place. Maybe examine your engravings."

"It's all just paper," she said, hair swinging as she shook her head. The impermanence, specifically the intentional kinds, struck a home-like chord in her and made it easier for her to relax a little.

"Yeah? Still. I'd be glad to see it, if you are willing." He smirked. "And I likely can't match you for speed, but I'd gladly jog with you to there?"

Because he knew he had interrupted her, and he didn't want her hurting because of him. He'd done enough damage in his life.

"We can walk, it's fine," she said. "I don't necessarily need the same kind of cool-down as everyone else." She'd never quit moving if that were the case.

"Okay." Remy blinked. "I didn't mean the cool down, I meant... I probably interrupted your run, and didn't want to do that too much, if I could help it." Remy paid attention, most of the time.

But he gladly walked forward with her. "Lead on, chere'."
