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!

"Etiquette? Like what?"

Freya felt her lips tugging into a smile at their own volition. She can't help it, she's probably the least 'civilized' person that she knows and being part wolf didn't even have to do with that. It was simply because she saw the polite thing to do and decided not to do it. Life felt more interesting that way.

"Also what kind of music? Do you play? If so what?"

This might feel like a job interview with a dog considering how many questions Freya gets out before he can reply.

Alric shifted in place a little, but more than anything to sit a little more comfortably while speaking to her, since it seemed she wasn't about to run out of questions any time soon. ...which, in fairness, was at least a bit flattering.

And he couldn't help but chuckle to himself at her asking about etiquette in the midst of bombarding him with personal questions.

"...ah... civilized manners, rules of conduct, how to present oneself in a respectful, yet dignified manner. That sort of thing."

Of course he wouldn't say it's not the sort of thing she'd be interested in, although his tone might have playfully implied it.

"I've been growing accustomed to some of the music, here, which is... quite unlike anything in my homeland. What I am used to is perhaps nearest to what many here call 'folk' or 'classical' music. And... yes, as far as the instruments available here, a little bit of piano and flute, although I much prefer the guitar."

Freya never ran out of question though she did sometimes lose focus and have to loop back to previous topics. There was a lot about this place she had to learn. Etiquette was merely a dying practice in her time and she thought that he was teaching it was cute.

"Sounds boring but interesting." She'd never go to a class for that but she might ask him about it to learn a tiny bit each time they spoke. "What?" Freya questioned his tone with an innocent expression.

"Guitar's hot." Freya didn't always think before she spoke. "So you can rock out to Red Hot Chili Peppers or be a Jukebox Hero but you prefer Bach or Bruce Springsteen? Oh! Hungry like the wolf. I love that song." She didn't know how much of that he understood but she really liked music and knew about classics as well as newer trends. Some of her favorite stories involved musicians, it's also how she ended up in Japan for two weeks.

He gave her a quizzical look at "boring but interesting," which to its credit was perhaps the most bewildering thing she'd said--then more so at her reaction to the mention of guitar and his musical tendencies.

"Ah.. I am still familiarizing myself with the music of worlds other than my own, here--and I've quite a bit of catching up to do, I must admit, in that respect."

Alric paused a moment, smirking slightly.

"......and, I said that those are most similar to the music to which I am accustomed. I've certainly heard some very interesting things since arriving here... I have been studying, ah... 'Van Halen' and 'Guns and Roses,' among others. The instrumentation of deliberately distorted patterns of sound is something new but fascinating, when used well."

Freya stood by her comment. It was an interesting concept, how structures and societies worked and were built and how people were expected to act but she also didn't know how well she could learn it. She would probably frustrate him to no end.

Her lips curled into a smile. "All good. So what's your favorite song of the new things you've heard." She held up a finger as if to stop him from answering. "This does have a correct answer by the way."

She'd be sad if he picked a lame song.

Alric raised his eyebrows and chuckled at the unexpected quiz.

"I have to choose..?"

He glanced off pensively, at that.

"...mmm... it's difficult to select one alone, when they differ so greatly. For its masterful use of the guitar with other instruments, however, 'November Rain' is certainly outstanding."

Freya stared at him for a long time before finally rolling her shoulders in a shrug. "Okay fine, not a bad choice." There were others she thought were way better but it was really a matter of opinion.

She stretches her arms over head while a smile pulled at her lips.

"I think it's time for me to explore some but-" She looked over at Alric. "I like you so you can bet that you'll see me again. Who knows, maybe I'll stop by one of your classes sometime." Mostly to tease him.

"..ah.. well, I'm sure you would be welcome, if you wished to."

He smiles to himself, suspecting she's not exactly 100% serious, but not about to call her on it for no reason.

"And if you've other must-listen suggestions, I'd certainly appreciate being pointed in the right direction."

"I'll make a list." She paused mid-step and turned back to grin at him. "A long list."

Freya turned back towards the direction she'd chosen with a little excited hop in her step. She didn't know what she'd find in this world but so far it's been interesting. Her long hair trailed behind her, shimmering in the light as she gracefully disappeared into the crowd.

Alric raises his eyebrows and chuckles lightly, tilting his head in a nod.

"...I'll endeavor to prepare myself for that. Good day, Miss Freya."
