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!

"Mm... I understand your concern, Your Highness. ...I, too, have matters to which I must return, when possible. However... it is my understanding that our pressing affairs can be expected to wait for out return, from this place--that we will find no time has passed."

He tilts his head slightly to acknowledge how peculiar it sounds.

"So I gather, at least, from those who have returned to their homes and arrived here, again, afterward."

[almightythor]

That was not something that he expected. Most Asgardians had a rudimentary understanding of space and time that exceeded the average human's but this was something that Thor hadn't experienced. It was wholly new.

"And how would you know that time hasn't passed? Have you traveled between this realm and your own? How was it done?"

[knighterrantofthedragon]

"I have not, myself; others whom I know, however, have... although through no choice of theirs."

A troubled look crossed his face, at that, and he shook his head. Most of those he'd heard such stories from were associates--perhaps friends, even, if he could be so bold--from Westeros, and he couldn't wholeheartedly wish for anyone to be sent back there. Especially in light of how those return visits had gone for them. Still, he smiled, if more wanly; it was important to be a calming, comforting presence, and maintain some standard of decorum, after all.

"I can recount only their reports of the experience, although they are people of merit whom I've no reason to disbelieve. It seems, so far, to have happened more or less at random; or if not, the cause is yet as unknown as that behind our presence, here."

[almightythor]

"Random isn't comforting," Thor said. It was a bit obvious, yes, but he had always been blunt and obvious with his dealings. It was difficult to contemplate that he could have been brought here solely by chance.

"I would rather it be for some reason."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

"Mm, I'm inclined to agree, generally... given a reason, there may be some means of acquiring a degree of control over the situation."

He smiled to himself at that, understanding well the frustration of having so little control over matters.

"However... it doesn't, at least, seem to be malicious. Merely... poorly understood, as yet."

[almightythor]

"I have been in situations before that were poorly understood," Thor said, wary about that. "And they have turned out to be malicious in nature. I don't trust that which I do not understand."

It was too difficult to account for all the variables in a place like this, especially since those variables seemed to keep changing.

[knighterrantofthedragon]

"I will not show you the disrespect, Your Highness, of pretending that we can be wholly certain merely to soothe your understandable concerns. ...however, if there is malice at the heart of this, it seems to be a most inconsistent, halfhearted malice. A number of us are here from the moment before death, reunited with family whom they might never have seen again; nor does death seem to have any hold on us, here. I cannot find the malice in that--at least, not directed toward us. I suspect we are meant less to be imprisoned than..."

He trailed off momentarily, glancing aside as he searched for the best word.

"...'recruited,' perhaps, although I could scarcely begin to guess for what purpose. Quite rudely recruited, as well, I will admit, but I've seen no sign of ill will, yet. Certainly not from the people native to this place."
