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!

Thor } MCU } 2

[almightythor]

Thor had not been on these islands for long but it had been long enough for him to realize that the rainbow bridges weren't Heimdall's doing, the flight he could sustain was not to his normal ability and Mjolnir seemed little more than just a warhammer.

Something was grounding him here, something he didn't quite understand, and it was puzzling to him. Also puzzling was the thought that he would have to obtain and sustain some sort of employment, earn his keep, and that was something that he'd never done as the son of Odin.

At the moment, he was attempting to follow the recipe for one of the elaborate coffee drinks at the coffeehouse and failing at it. First, he forgot the vanilla, then the cream. In frustration, he gripped the handle of a mug too tightly and it shattered in his hand.

"I am the son of Odin! Why should I have to toil in such a menial way? I am no thrall, no mere human!"

While it seemed logical to him, his employer did not see it the same way and after words were exchanged, Thor took his leave of the place. So much for that.

/shhhh

[anomaliiiiies]

Well, obviously Jane has spent way too much time in the library to even notice Thor was here. She expected him to yell over the devices, to be completely honest. But she needed to run to the main island for something, and lo, look who is going to pounce.

"Thor? What are you doing here? Well, never mind about what, when did you show up?"

Re: /shhhh

[almightythor]

Seeing her always struck his heart. Perhaps it was unwise, to have such a weakness, but Thor had a fondness for Midgard that rested solely on the shoulders of Jane Foster. He would do anything to protect her. He would do anything to make her happy. Seeing her now brought a smile to his lips and a light to his eyes that hadn't been there since he first arrived on this damned island.

"Jane," he said, his lips turning up in a broad smile. It only took two steps to close the distance between them, two heartbeats to lift her up into his arms. The job could wait.

[anomaliiiiies]

She's very used to not touching the ground around Thor, both literally and metaphorically. Jane smiled up at him, her hands running over his shoulders and chest, before she tunneled her hands in his hair to pull his face closer for a kiss.

"Hi."

[almightythor]

"When did you arrive? How did you get here?" Thor had come on the boats and it had felt, for all the world, like Valhalla. He had thought that surely he must have died and yet, he lived. He lived because of her and the light she brought to his life. Without her, he was a warrior without aim.

"The boats? I didn't see you when I came in."

[trueloveskid]

The son of Odin? Of course. It's the kind of thing she'd expect to hear in Storybrooke, with its seemingly endless surprises, and now it seems that the same thing is happening here, Which really shouldn't surprise her, given the people she's already met in this place.

There was a time when she would have insisted that Odin was just a story. Now, hearing someone claim to be his son is just a thing that happens.

"I think your problem is that Odin has no authority here."

[almightythor]

Thor snorted dismissively and shook his head. "Odin has authority even in Midgard. I don't know which of the nine realms this place is but surely the All-Father has power here. He has power everywhere."

There were certain things that Thor refused to believe. One of those things, one of the inevitable truths that he kept close to his chest, was the power of Odin. Even when they butted heads, Odin had proven loyal and powerful to both his family and his people. There was no way there was a world he hadn't touched in some way.

[trueloveskid]

"I'm pretty sure we're not in Midgard anymore." Not that she knows where Midgard is. But she does know that no one she's talked to here has ever heard of this place before, or has any idea where it is.

"Besides, power and authority are two different things."

[almightythor]

Thor was aware of the difference between power and authority and had, in fact, learned that difference in a very hard way. Still, he didn't necessarily like to hear of it from someone he did not know in a place that he did not recognize so his only response was a snort of derision.

"And who is the authority in this place?"

Bruce is post Thor Ragnarok just so you know he has been to Asgard

[wearebothangry]

Bruce had just entered the coffee shop when he heard a familiar voice express a tiny amount of frustration. Chuckling slightly he stepped up to the counter. "You've just expressed the thoughts of every working person ever my friend," he says with his gentle humor.

Re: Bruce is post Thor Ragnarok just so you know he has been to Asgard

[almightythor]

Thor snorted a bit and tossed his head. While Bruce had a point and that point may have been a good one, he wasn't exactly in the mood for logic. He would prefer, instead, to complain for a little while before going to seek employment once more.

"It seems this world is not equipped to employ me in a manner which I find acceptable."

Re: Bruce is post Thor Ragnarok just so you know he has been to Asgard

[wearebothangry]

"That's the wonderful thing about working," Bruce said, "you can change your job any time you want." He smiles. "humans do it all the time. I'm one of the lucky ones who found work he loved on the first try."

Re: Bruce is post Thor Ragnarok just so you know he has been to Asgard

[almightythor]

Thor didn't think he was so lucky. He was a King of Asgard and a warrior by birth. Working in a coffee shop or as a day laborer simply wouldn't satisfy him. And, yet, this place required that he had employment in order to keep himself clothed and fed.

"I am no scientist. Jane is, yes, but she has had years of schooling. I am only good at fighting and championing those who need a champion. I don't know what manner to seek employment for that."

"Welcome to reality and to some this is a nightmare, the having to find a proper job part I mean." Violet was still distrustful of most adults and it showed. "We just have to accept fate and brave the working world as best we can." as she slung some tools into her toolbox, having only been out to deal with a stuck door. Which in itself was driving her crazy, she needed a project and fast.

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[almightythor]

"I shouldn't have to have one. I am perfectly employed in Midgard." Being a member of the Avengers did come with a stipend, something that Thor appreciated. It meant he got to do what he wanted and be paid for it in the Midgard fashion.

Here, however, there seemed to be no need for the Avengers.

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[invented_misery]

"Is going into business for yourself an option? Its one I'm starting to consider." Violet offered. The idea had intrigued her since it meant not having to trust anyone but herself. "And pardon what will sound as the worst question but what is Midgard?" ever polite in spite of not trusting anyone.

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[almightythor]

"Midgard is the realm of humans," Thor said, giving the girl a smile. It wasn't her fault that he'd been trapped in this damned place and he shouldn't take his foul temper out on her.

"I presume that's where I am, considering all the humans around."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a hand in a soothing, diplomatic gesture as Thor was storming (haha) his way out of the establishment.

"Ah.. pardon the intrusion into your affairs, but I couldn't help notice you seem.... ill at ease."

He smiled politely and amiably, keeping his demeanor calm and reassuring. Notably, he wore a sword at his hip, and the style of his clothes were somewhat nearer Asgardian than modern Midgardian, if relatively simple; also notably, he showed no sign of aggression, or of fear, in spite of the outburst, although he was certainly watchful.

"My name is Alric, of House Caelegart. Many who have come here, including noblemen, royalty, and even a king or two, have found it... uniquely challenging to adapt to circumstances, here. If I can be of any assistance, it would surely be an honor."

[almightythor]

"It is not my role as the son of a king that makes it difficult to work here," Thor said, giving the man a wary look. His natural tendency was to be a bit annoyed since his temper was in a storm but he tried to take a step back and accept help as it was offered.

"It is my role as a warrior that makes the task so difficult."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric nodded courteously with another raise of his eyebrows, his smile just as polite despite that look, pointedly unruffled.

"Ah- I beg your pardon for my ignorance, then, Your Highness. I certainly meant no offense--only to reassure you that others have had such difficulties, as well."

He pauses a moment, giving Thor a contemplative look.

"Perhaps a more... active occupation would suit you better. For example: there are a number of guests, such as ourselves, beginning to settle down--there may therefore be demand for work in construction. Not the same as soldiering, certainly, but I can assuredly sympathize with the need to remain active."

[disneydescendant]

Henry had heard the frustrated shouts as he passed the coffeehouse and was surprised to see Thor heading out of it. It wasn't new to Henry that the superheroes from his comics were real. He'd been very good friends with both Jane and Darcy back in Ruby City and had even met Tony Stark and Steve Rogers there too. So awesome.

But Thor was new, so Henry followed and waited for the God to calm down before introducing himself.

"Hi there." He gave a short wave, very awkwardly. "You seem troubled, friend." Then, just to be sure. "You're Thor, right?"

[almightythor]

"I am, yes," Thor said. It wasn't unusual to be recognized by someone. Many times, children ran up to him in the streets in New York and other places because he had become famous on Midgard as part of the Avengers.

"I presume you hail from Midgard, then, since you recognize me?"

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[abyssum_invocat]

"Are you really?"

Such a small girl to ask such a loaded question: Sinthia was standing neatly in the way in clothes (too precisely coordinated to have been truly chosen by any normal child) all in shades of mint and gray, dark hair covered in a sparkling beret.

"The son of Odin."

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[almightythor]

"Yes, child, I am the son of Odin," Thor said, giving her a smile. It was difficult to be happy when he was as frustrated as he was in this place but he had to try. It wouldn't do to alienate everyone in this foreign place.

"You know of Asgard, then?"

Re: Thor } MCU } 2

[abyssum_invocat]

"Of course," she replied. "It's where the Aesir live. And the rainbow bridge connects it to Midgard," Sinthia said--as if this was the most normal thing in the world, it being simply how things were for her.

"I have a necklace of Mjollnir, I know all the stories." She digs it out on the thin steel chain looped around her neck, and sure enough it's stylized but it does resemble a hammer covered in runes.
