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!

Isabela had smiled when the man had sat in front of her, and even if she was fairly certain he had caught on her cheating game, that smile hadn't faltered. His own skills made the game a better challenge, and the pirate wasn't one to turn it down. Her earnings gained and lessened with time, but wasn't much different from what she held from the start, though she couldn't yet say if it as because of the new comers generosity, or simply because Lady Luck was on her side that night.

The brunette had also noticed that the man's game was more aggressive when it came to one of the native sitting with them. She cared little for the reason of the feud, but it was entertaining to see the native getting caught in all the man's bluffs and key plays.

The cards in her hand were not that good, and there was no doubts in her mind that her hand would be on the losing side. But the coin pile of the native was growing smaller by the minute, and Isabela was starting to get bored with the cards, and more interested in the man sitting opposite to her. Leaning forward with a coy smile, she reached for her earnings:

"I'll raise you five gold coins," she said as she threw the amount into the pile, knowing that their third player would have to go all in with a hand that was probably not worth it. Her purse might be lighter by the end of the game, but if she could just get to know the handsome fellow that joined their game, it would be worth it. And if not, there was always other ways to fatten her purse.

She had skill, aye, and Remy liked that, and so he played a good game, with a wee bit of cheating thrown in.

The third player threw in the last of his money, as predicted, and Remy added the needed coins, then threw down his spread. A spread he knew was the best in the pot. Barely, but, that was how cards flowed. As the cards his the table, he smirked. "Cards down, all?"

His smirk showed wider when the third player threw his down and left, not even waiting, and he laughed at that, looking to Isabela. "And yours?" Because, well, there were always surprises, and he knew she just might beat him, cheating or no.

And he grinned at her, a different grin from what he had shown to the other man. A warmer grin, as his eyes glowed, red against black.

The pirate captain laughed as well when their third player left in a huff after losing all of his coins at their table. Isabela gave a look to the other man's hand and the faintest of surprise washed over her face: the man had played quite the bluff as her moderately good hand was beating his when she had thought it was her loss. Smirking slightly, she folded her cards face down with a shake of her head:

"Nothing good." After all, the man had worked hard to skin the sore loser, she wasn't about to take his earnings. And perhaps, this act of 'kindness' would be returned one day. But for the moment, Isabela raised an eyebrow slowly at the man's strange eyes, suddenly very aware of all the daggers hidden on herself. Eyes like those, back on Thedas, were signs of a mage about to lose control.

Carefuly, still smiling, she leaned forward, resting her head on her hand as she nodded towards the man:

"Quite the strange eyes you got there, Sweet Pea. Something you want to tell me?" She's long learned that in this strange world, people were coming from places she's never heard of, but she wasn't taking any chances. Hopefully, she was being overcautious: it would be a shame to hit such a pretty face.

Remy called the attendant to cash in the chips, then eyed her, grinning. Her mention of his eyes made him wince a little, but he shook his head. "Born and raised with them. Dat's why they called me Le Diable Blanc, as a kid. The white devil." He shrugged. "Just part of being a mutant, which I am." His eyes flicked to hers, warm, and brilliant in the light. His smirk was wide as well.

He lifted a single card, and if glowed pink, then shattered in a puff of pink energy. "Why, don't you like my eyes, beautiful? They like you, for sure."
