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!

[Alice turns her head when the sweet voice reaches her ears. A smile touches her lips at the woman approaching.]

Yes, there is a lot I'd like to see. [Her accent is thick but she speaks with the clarity of someone who's used to speaking to others.

She tucks a strand of dark hair behind her ear as she moves to stand. Her pen is placed in the binding of her journal and she closes the thick pages before placing the book beneath her arm.]

How far along are you?

[She gestures at the woman's belly.]

It's a beautiful place, full of everything you could want to explore.

[Lorna smiles and looks down at her belly, feeling warm and happy.]

I'm seven months in, now. The first part was so smooth, but now I feel huge.

[She offers a hand to Alice to shake.]

I'm Lorna, what's your name?

[Alice shakes the woman's hand before allowing her arm to drop back to her side.]

I'm Alice. It's nice to meet you. [Her brow furrows in confusion when her eyes fall on the heavy looking bag that Lorna is holding.]

What's in there?

[She feels like she shouldn't be carrying anything that heavy.]

Rocks! [she says it like it's the most natural thing in the world.]

Here, look at this one.

[She puts the bag down and rummages around in it to find a light purple rock.]

I have no idea what it is! It's gorgeous.

[Alice's eyes light up at the odd purple hues.]

It's definitely a sedimentary rock and it looks like it's set in a hexagonal close packed structure. [She looks up at the other woman curiously.]

Where did you find this? If I can see the site I might be able to see how it was form and then what the composition is.

[Her tone and expression are more serious though excitement brimming just beneath the surface.]

[Lorna produces her photographs of the site, and plays her notes.]

I'm a geologist, this is what I wanted to do when I was a kid. I agree with your assessment, and I would be happy to show you the site. This is only a small sample, there were many others on the area.

[Alice's own excitement is growing as well though she's learned to contain it. She looks over at the other woman, her dark eyes shining inquisitively.]

It's an honor to meet you then. I'm a Mineralogist.

[It's nice to meet others in her field.]

If it isn't too much trouble to show me the site. I can always come back later. [Which she probably will.]

That's great! Follow me, I'll show you.

[Lorna motions for Alice to follow, heading off the way she came.]

What got you into mineralogy?

I can carry those samples for you?

[She falls in step behind the other woman easily. There is nothing super human about Alice but she's spent a great deal of time traveling and has the form to prove it.]

My father. He'd been a field researcher and I knew when I was very young I wanted to study the earth. I selected mineralogy in my Junior year. It spoke to me in a way that other disciplines didn't.

[Lorna gratefully hands her bag of rocks over. It's not terribly heavy, but her back is bothering her so it's nice to get a break.]

That's great! My parents got me into it too. We went on hikes a lot and I loved to poke at the rocks and sides of cliffs and. . . [she laughs] It's so fun! It hardly feels like work.

[Alice slips the bag over her shoulder and finds the weight comforting. She's used to carrying around rocks and speaking with someone in a similar field has eased the tension she felt creeping into her shoulders.

She follows behind the woman enjoying the air, the company and the floating island which begs for discovery.]

Do you know how the island floats?

[Is it a unique rock or something else?]
