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!

That's just mean.

[She pouts but in the end its a very small detail. She peers over Harry's shoulder as they descend.]

So this is my 'house'

[She'd use air quotes if she wasn't holding onto Harry. She's skeptic of the idea of a house and what she might find there. She doesn't expect to stick around but it wouldn't hurt to check out.]

[Harry blinked.] Why mean?

[The wheels touched down and he rolled up to her house.] Looks like.

[he pulled up in front and parked, then slid off, and held out a hand to her.] Want company, or no?

[Freya shrugs.]

It's a lot of walking.

[Not that it bothers her but for a regular person that seems like a hassle. She slips off the bike and inspects the house from the outside. After his question she turns towards him, placing her fingertips together.]

There isn't anything weird or murder-y in the house right?

[She's still on that train of thought.]

[Harry blinked.] It's not that far.

There shouldn't be. Most people find a few things from home waiting for them. I found my bike.

[That makes Freya tense.]

Um...everything I own is in my backpack. Is there always things from our home?

[Now she really doesn't want to go inside.]

I don't know. I've only heard people say so, but I have no idea what else would be there.

[he eyed her.] Want me to go in?

[Freya looks a little skittish as she glances between the house and Harry.]

Yes, you go in for me and tell me if there is anything in there that doesn't look like it belongs. [She steps to the side and ushers him with the wave of her arm.]

[ooc: I haven't decided the 4 things yet but ones going to be a family photo which will make her freak out.]

"Sure, I can do that." He started inward, peering around, and was inside for a few minutes, then peered out. "Not a lot here, but, ah, there is a photo..."

He brought it out slowly, holding it up for her to see.

[Freya froze when she sees the photo and promptly turns away from the house. Her fingers lace through the straps of her backpack tugging it close to her back.]

Yeah, if that's in there I'll opt out.

[There are things that legal belong to her but she'd left them standing alone in an abandoned house. She doesn't want to look at them now.]

I'll just find another place to crash. [She's done it before.]

Harry blinked.

"Freya? What's wrong?" He stepped closer, wondering what he had stepped into now.

"Nothing." She's very quick to answer waving her hand in the air as she turned to walk away from the house. She'd made no secret of her travels but she wasn't ready to face what she was running away from.

"I don't want to see what's in there. It's that simple."

Harry arched an eyebrow in doubt, but she was welcome to her secrets. "Okay. Ah, my place is a two bedroom. Do you want to bunk in the second bed? I tend to be out a lot, anyway, so I probably won't make that much noise."

he had been using it as a lab, but he didn't need the space, really.

Freya turned back towards him, eyeing him curiously. Slowly her lips break out into their usual smile.

"So you're saying we can have a sleep over with pillow forts and hot chocolate?"

Harry snerked, putting her picture inside the house and closing the door firmly.

"We can do that, too, if you like. But I just meant you can come live there, if you want someplace to hang your hat."

He nodded.

She knew what he meant but the levity helped her and at this point it was a part of her. "I'll make sure to buy a hat then." She teased as she moved back next to him.

"Wait but where do you live?"

"Eurus. It's a rockier and more mountainous island, to the southeast of here." He grinned "It's connected to the main island by a bridge, same as this one."

He settled on his bike again and smiled. "Want to fly, or drive? We can do either."

"If it's long enough we can do both."

She half skipped over to his bike, waiting for him to slid in behind him. This was one of those moments where she was happy that she was so small. It was easy to slip behind him.

"Maybe drive first? Where did you get this thing anyway? Or did you make it?" She moonlighted as an engineer but she had a feeling it was more akin to magic which she knew nothing about.

"Okay." He smiled as he kicked it into gear and they tooled forward down the avenue toward the edges of the islands. All roads led to the rainbow bridges.

"Sounds like a plan. And I made it with the help of a friend. Used the base model that was owned by an ally, then fixed it up and made it more than meets the eyes." He smirked.

"Okay you said a lot of words but barely said anything at all." She laughed and shook her head. It was hard to talk to him when she was behind him so she just tried to get her lips as close to his ear as she could.

"A friend, so someone. A base model of what? Owned by which ally? How did you fix it and turn it into a stick?" She was impressed but also curious.

Harry laughed. "I used an old antique World War One motorcycle, and me and my friend Elaine worked on restoring it together and she used a lot of baseline enchantments to bring it to good working order, and to make it work on magic. Then we finished it together, and i put more enchantments on it."

He smirked back at her as they turned a corner, seeing the bridge ahead, and he slowed as there was a lot of foot traffic here.

"We used an ally, Mac's shop, and magic, and I used a transposition spell, along with an alteration framework to do the transformation."

"Sounds like a lot of work. Why did you guys do all that?" Not that it wasn't really cool and useful. It was definitely classified as both of those things but it seemed like a lot of work.

"Or was it just practice? Like did you guys study magic together?" Now she's just thinking out loud but it made sense in her head.

"I wish I knew how to drive."

"Well, mainly because back then I couldn't get near real tech for very long. The field of magic around me is normally very anti-tech. These days, I'm better, but we needed an anti-tech vehicle for me to move around in. We started with an old machine, converted it to magic running, then went form there." He smirked as he cleared the Bridge, then kicked off the ground to sail slowly upward, and over the immediate area of Aerilon.

He banked them slowly East.

"You could learn. Probably. Not many vehicles here, but maybe."

"So gears over computer chips." She nodded her head. It was probably ironic that Freya could fix a car but not drive one. She'd always been interested in building machines and even now carried two textbooks in her backpack. She had the concepts inside of the books almost memorized and being a little bit of a loser has tried to build ridiculous things like a grappling hook from scratch.

"Yeah but I'd rather fix cars. I bet I could build a regular bike you could drive." She thought about it for a moment.

"Though I have no magic so it wouldn't top this and it'd be a torsion motor so you'd have to have magnets or wind it because you can set torque motors to wind themselves without magnets but as long as they are running they'll keep going. Those are also DC motors and marketing has mostly gone to AC." She paused realizing she'd been going on.

"Sorry, sometimes I don't stop talking."

"Actually, yes, and no. Even with this, it wouldn't work, save for the magic. Sometimes even dumb mechanical things break down around me. Not as much these days, but it still happens sometimes. MY world's magic is... not happy with science. Kind of a competing science, I think."

He nodded.

"I don't mind. Your talking is kind of cool."

"Kinda cool? I have the technical know how of someone from the 80's." She shook her head before pressing her cheek against Harry's back. He's too tall and it's hard to keep trying to look over his shoulder.

"So even gears wouldn't work? Or basic pullies?"

Sorry Harry but that sounded like it really sucked. Not that Freya spent a lot of time around technology, it was too expensive and she never held a full-time job, but she at least knew how to use the tech of the 20th century. Sometimes she wished she had a laptop, if only to use google. Then again, she would spend to much time on wiki. Wiki is dangerous.
