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!

Re: Hello, Queen Elsa. Have Queen Cassidy!

[ladenga]

Elsa looked at her. Well. This one seemed kind and was approaching her with her arms set in a more welcoming position. But she called her sister. The Queen stayed where she stood, just in case.

"Sister? You're not my sister."

Red hair, yes. Kind and pretty looking, yes. But Anna had a completely different approach to people. For instance, invading their personal space in a time span less than three seconds. To be fair, Olaf did the same. She had to keep herself from raising her arms in a more defensive stance.

"Who are you?"

[lady_cassidy]

"Mother Night," she muttered, shaking her head as she lowered her palms. "I'm sorry, I keep forgetting Protocol is different here." A very dangerous thing to forget. "Among the Blood, my people, Sister is a formal greeting between two witches when they meet for the first time, or when they are close. An implied kinship among all females of the Craft, united in our magic, and our difficulties with males."

She offered a small unsure-but-game smile. "I am Lady Cassidy. I arrived here not that long ago."

[ladenga]

"Arrived here but have not left? Why?" she asked. She knew that protocol required her to greet Lady Cassidy more formally yet the setting was as informal as they could be and the circumstances. Well, extraordinary at the very least. Elsa didn't budge from her spot, rooted just in case Lady Cassidy wasn't entirely friendly all the way through.

[lady_cassidy]

"If we could figure out how, we would," she said simply. "Jaenelle is working on it, and I trust her. Until then, I am doing what I can to learn this place, and to give Jaenelle whatever help she needs or wants. A lot of people have been brought here, from many different places. It makes figuring out the Protocol quite difficult indeed."

She gave a warm smile. "I was buying the fixings for lunch, would you like to join us?" she asked.

[ladenga]

"Who is Jaenelle? Is she a captain?" she asked.

Her stomach betrayed her as it growled at the prospect of food.

"I...I suppose so. For now. Then you can tell me more of this place, Lady Cassidy. And perhaps we would be able to talk to someone to let us all home."

[lady_cassidy]

"A... Captain?" She wasn't quite sure about that term. "She is the Queen of Ebon Askavi." She smiled a bit at the sound. "You are welcome to join us, and I will tell you all I know," she said with a warm smile. "I do not think there is anyone we can talk to that has the power to let us go home, but should we find someone, I assure you, Jaenelle and I will be more than happy to help you convince them," she said firmly a hint of fire in her eyes, a hint of warming in the air around them. There... and then gone.

She offered her hand, palm up, arm straight, as though she were a male offering to serve as Escort for a Lady. Sometimes one female could walk that way with another, though it was not done often. "Shall we, then?"

[ladenga]

Another Queen. Perhaps they would be able to discuss how to get home. She looked around, to see if there would be anyone else she could talk to before taking a few steps toward Cassidy. A hint of warmth was more than enough to surprise Elsa. She looked at her curiously, then looked at the offered hand.

She hesitated before taking her hand.

[lady_cassidy]

Once she did, Cassidy began to lead her inland, towards the house she and Jaenelle shared. "Jaenelle and I both arrived here at about the same time. Neither of us had our Courts with us, so we decided to stick together, so the boyos don't have an excuse to fuss at us when we get home. That, and we're old friends, even if she hasn't met me yet." This place is seriously weird, okay?

[ladenga]

Elsa followed her lead.

"How could you be old friends if she hasn't met you yet? And you mentioned witches. Are you a witch? Is Jaenelle a witch as well? Do you both have powers?" she asked, question firing off one after another. She took in the surroundings and the people that passed by them.

"I...really need to get back to Arendelle. I mean, my sister just got married and the people need to readjust after being frozen for 30 years..."

[lady_cassidy]

"We are both witches, but she is Witch," she said it with significance, as though there was a difference. "I don't know how it is possible, but when I arrived... Jaenelle... she is older in my memories than she is here. I... have heard stories of her when she was this age. *****'s Fire, I lived in SaDiablo Hall for four months with her father and brother, how could I have not heard stories. But... she hasn't been this age for some time. She's young, here, somehow. Younger than I ever knew her. But she's still Jaenelle. Still my friend."

[ladenga]

"What's the difference? Why is she Witch?" Elsa asked. "So it takes you from various times? Not just different worlds?" she asked. "What...Where are those kingdoms?"

[lady_cassidy]

"She is dreams made flesh," she said simply. "she was born to the Black, and has a dark ability to protect us all. She is wonderful," she said proudly, but also protectively. "And apparently," she said. "I don't know why. But now I know how hard it must be for her and Shira and the other Black Widows, to not tell them things about the future when I know it. It's easier just being a Queen." She sighed slightly. "Which Kingdoms?"

[ladenga]

That...was certainly a description she hadn't heard anyone use before. There was so much information that Elsa's head spun a little.

"The kingdoms you've mentioned. Are they further south or east of the Southern Isles?" she asked, trying to orient herself with those kingdoms.

[lady_cassidy]

"You mean..." she was trying to remember which places she had mentioned. "Ebon Askavi? Dharo? Shalador Nehele?"

[ladenga]

She shook her head at each one. None of them sounded familiar. Maybe a map would help. Surely, Elsa was able to point out Arendelle on such a map.

"Do you have a map of these places?"

[lady_cassidy]

She nodded. "My Steward keeps the better one, but," she stopped walking and took her hand back, spreading both hands out like she was holding a map, and focused, then... swore softly. She closed her eyes and tried again. And frowned. She tried once more and suddenly she was holding a small carved wooden box of seeds. And a hat with a chunk missing. And a club. And a spare set of clothes. and four gold bangle bracelets. And then.... things stopped appearing, and she went dead pale, her freckles the only color on her face.

[ladenga]

Elsa waited patiently as it looked like Lady Cassidy was to summon something into her hands. When nothing happened, she waited patiently as the redhead tried again and again. Elsa took a step back when she saw a box in her hands, then...a misshapened hat. And then, other things that didn't seem relevant as to what the woman wanted.

Elsa was about to say that she didn't need to go through such trouble with an awkward smile when she saw how pale the woman was.

"Lady Cassidy?" she asked softly.

[lady_cassidy]

"Why can't I call in the map? Or my marks?" she blinked at what she was holding, and some color returned as she swore with words her father pretended she did not know. "Or my better gardening hat? I don't carry much, but I carry more than this..." She blinked, starting to take stock of what else was missing. "My silver offering cup," she whispered. "My good gardening dagger." Mother Night and may the Darkness have mercy.....
