Welcome to Medietas and our first ever Test Drive Meme! As we approach the grand opening of the game on April 1st, we thought we’d kick things off with a little something that will get you all interacting in the new setting! And it’s one less sample you have to worry about on your application if you’re considering our little game here.

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’ve just arrived on the island of Medietas, in the city of Aerilon via a … floating boat, with people you may or may not know? You can’t help but ponder what’s going on here, but the vessel seems to be approaching a harbor and when it docks, some lovely locals are standing in wait to greet you. After that they hand you a map and communications device and invite you to find your accommodations and explore.

2. Party, party!: On the evening of your first night in the city, a party is being thrown on Aerilon in honor of your arrival. Eat, mingle, dance, meet the other new arrivals! The locals put on quite the celebration!

3. Go Exploring!: There's plenty of places to explore, be it in your designated housing area, or on one of the adjoining community islands! Hike the mountains in Eurus. Sit on the beaches of Imber with a cocktail, or go swimming. Adventure in the forests of Mundus. Be careful though! Every area has it's dangers.

4. The Bells Are Ringing!: And that means a islands wide warning that something dangerous is approaching! But where the heck are they coming from? Nevermind that, the caretakers rally the children and the senior citizens while Scykal, Imber's local sea monster, emerges from the large body of water on the island.  Interesting.  He hasn't been spotted in a long time.  Help the locals defeat him!

5. Wild Card!: Choose your own scenario!

"A boat," he deadpans. Since really. What other answer was Balthazar expecting?

Gabriel tilts his head a little, looking at Balthazar beyond the physical level. "You're from later than I am. About a year or so, I think?"

And he's glad to see you too, little brother. You're one of the fun ones, rather than one of the stuffy paper-pusher types.

[Elizabeth waits patiently, and doesn't really hear anything...but she is butted in the leg and confronted with a very large dog wolf!]

Ohmygoodness! [She staggers back a few steps, staring at the creature.]

I do believe anyone who happens upon me shall think I've gone mad...but...Mr. Wolf, are you the gen - man, [No gentleman would run about naked!] I met a moment ago in a quite unfortuanate state of undress?

[Without thinking about the risk of injury, she extends her hand in an offering gesture like she might a hound at home, so that he might have her scent and feel at ease.]

[badpuns]

There was no other answer Balthazar expected, and his grin widens. "Not to mention whatever floats it, hm?"

The grin fades as he turns a bit more serious, studying Gabriel for a moment. "I would say that's about accurate, yes. Give or take a few months, perhaps."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Sam told me they went with the back-up I gave them," Gabriel says, in a roundabout way of saying he knew perfectly well what that meant for him. "Speaking of, try not to give him too much shit right now? Give him time to work through the issues being our big brothers' chewtoy's gave him. Then be a pain in his ass."

[thisismyship]

"When you've earned a thank you you'll get one love," Hera says with a soft smile as she grips the offered hand and helps use it to pull herself up, "as for your messages I've just arrived and haven't really gotten a chance to check that device they gave me for any yet. The bells gave the impression they needed to be answered first."

Once Hera is back on her feet she throws her hands around him and gives him a huge hug. "I suppose that means you missed me then?"

[dr_wells]

He just hugs her tighter. "I love you too Jesse. I'm so sorry you got mixed up in my mess."

[tauraran]

He imagines demons are much like Orcs. The story is very familiar and, if names are replaced, very like the tale of Arda. Eru favors the Elves - not Morgoth - and he makes Manwë the King of the Valar as well as the only one who can communicate with him - not Morgoth. One can hardly blame Eru's choice, yet it was a catalyst for the Dark Valar's rebellion.

"I am beginning to think Lucifer and Morgoth are one and the same."

[lotsoflaughs]

"If Morgoth got to go from everybody's favorite and generally getting whatever he wanted to no longer being the favorite and kinda pissed off about it, sure." Not that he thinks Lucifer would appreciate the comparison. Not to mention his field of fucks on that score is barren.

[tauraran]

Her hair caught his eye first; it was gold and silver and much like his own. Thranduil was drawn to such beauty, yet the current circumstances had also made him wary. He was not merely wandering about his home nor was he amongst his people. This woman - this child - was likely from another world entirely and that alone inspired caution.

His long robes of silver and burnished copper were not easy to miss - and the crown on his head, one made of intertwined twigs and leaves, was not one often seen - if ever. He stood at near seven feet tall, yet his sword was not drawn nor did he seem ready to threaten her.

"A lady should not wander alone."

[tauraran]

"It is similar. Morgoth is, without a doubt, the most powerful of the Valar, yet Eru favors...others. I think he knew of his child's Darkness." but then one must ask: why let Morgoth continue existing?

Every Elf knows there is a balance to such things. Darkness must exist for Light to penetrate it.

"He has been known to twist and corrupt those Eru favors into images that are both monstrous and disturbing."

[tauraran]

A King is watching her from the forest, the dark patterns on his silver robes allowing him to hide himself skillfully within the shadows. He can sense that she is one who has suffered and he has no wish to add to it, however she does look...lost.

It is not within him to deny a child in distress. Thus he makes his presence known by stepping in the sunlight.

"Do you seek solace or answers?"

[lotsoflaughs]

"Michael's the strongest of us. Maybe Dad went 'hmm, maybe I should dial the power levels of the next one back a bit'." Who even knows. While Gabriel has asked God plenty of things in a 'young and wants to know everything' sort of way, that's not one of the things he asked.

"My brother hadn't been really given much of a chance to do that after the first few. The ones he'd made took over from there." Given he had been locked up where he couldn't cause problems.

Alric was definitely more on the mingling side of things, at least for this particular soiree. After all, he needed to get a look at what "dancing" consisted of, here, before attempting it, unless someone bold and a bit fearless felt inspired to try coaching him on the spur of the moment.

That of course seemed relatively improbable, so he was quite prepared to spend the evening people-watching, and getting to know the attendees. He made a point, also, to avoid drinking more than was necessary to be sociable, fully embracing diplomacy mode. Surely, there would be other people there who weren't entirely comfortable, after all, and while getting acquainted, perhaps he could help to put them at ease.

He happened by one such person as he milled about casually, and smiled at her with a courteous nod, his demeanor calm and reassuring.

"...your pardon, Miss, but are you looking for someone in particular..?"

[theladyofwinterfell]

Sansa startles just a bit, if only because she hadn't heard his approach. This is the most beautiful man she has ever seen and she trembles a bit, unsure if she should curtsy or not. He looks like one of the Targaryen kings of old, silvery hair and light eyes.

"My lord, you startled me. I did not hear you." She pauses for a moment and cants her head, thinking about his question. "Solace, I think. The answers are not so simple."

Re: (2)

[radishearring]

"Just seeing if by sheer luck this place has anyone from my world." Luna gracefully explain since in spite of her misery she could still be a lady. She spun around on a heel when she was spoken to,"Its also too many questions and too few answers, was honestly sure a spell had backfired to be truthful."

Alric of House Caelegart | Original

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Party: Well, there was a party, and Alric was meant to be at it. This was hardly the first time in his experience, but he suspected from what little he'd seen already that the company would be far more pleasant than the usual unavoidable social gathering. Many--perhaps even most--of the his fellow new arrivals seemed to be relatively laid back, and although he made sure to be presentable and courteous, he pointedly avoided standing on ceremony beyond what propriety demanded of him, keeping his demeanor relaxed and affable. Surely some of the others might be uncomfortable, after all; he wasn't qualified to serve as a host, of course, but he could do his best to be a reassuring presence, at least.

Exploring: The forests of Mundus had been the strongest lure for Alric, recalling those around his family's estate where he'd grown up, and it was the first place he went--partly to explore, and partly to find a place where he might feel a little more at home. It wasn't so much the alien environment and strange people, as he'd been traveling for some time alread; rather, something about being so far from home, so completely removed, made anything at all familiar seem comforting. So he took to wandering into the forest, as much to learn about his environment as to reminisce and center himself. And if he should find trouble, he was of course ready for that, as well.

[tauraran]

"I would be surprised if you could hear me." he answers honestly and with a touch of humor, "You are of the race of Man."

Clearly that is explanation enough, though she is forgiven if it only confuses her more. Thranduil is a proud Elf who prefers to be recognized.

"Such answers are never easy. Do you fear for your safety in these lands?" it is a beginning. He focuses on her with cool blue eyes, seemingly seeing beyond the surface.

1.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel had come down to the docks to see if anyone he knew happened to be one of the new people coming off the boats when he notices her, raising an eyebrow at the feel of the magic coming off her. Well then. It'd definitely some sort of witch magic although it doesn't have that same nasty feel as the magic he's used to coming from the ones on his world.

"Hey there, kid. Anyone give you any sort of run-down on the place yet?" Can't hurt to ask. And gives him an opening to eventually ask about the whole magic thing.

[lotsoflaughs]

"You have got to be the only one of your kind on the planet," Gabriel says, approaching at a stroll so he wouldn't startle her by popping out of nowhere.

Re: 1.

[radishearring]

"Got the quick and dirty version to borrow the expression." Luna gracefully explained to the older man who spoke to her. "Got the map and an address to an island, beyond that its more questions than answers."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Plenty of confusion to be had for new people," Gabriel agrees. "Particularly for those used to islands that don't float a few miles up in the air. Granted, that's a new one for me too, but not anything I can't handle."

[idisobeyed]

Anna isn't quite sure what is happening when she steps off the boat with a frown. If she is wary about what is going to happen next, no one can blame her for that. After spending what felt like years in 'angel prison' and then being killed by her brother, she isn't sure she can trust what is coming next.

She does stop long enough to get her phone and her map before moving a few steps away from the people handing them out. She is tense, she knows that, and she is expecting an attack but she most certainly isn't expecting to see a familiar face. Or at least not the one she spies.

Not that she says anything at first. No, she just sort of moves into his peripheral vision as she frowns lightly and studies him.

[theladyofwinterfell]

"I fear for my safety all the time," Sansa says, casting her gaze downward. She has been used ill for so long that it is difficult to trust anyone. This strange man, though, seems to be calming and trustworthy in spite of her natural tendency not to trust anyone any longer.

"My husband uses me ill. I do not know if he will show up here or not."

[radishearring]

"Weird I'm used to but this is a whole new level of weird." Luna mused, her Irish accent more intense than usual. "My name's Luna by the way." she quickly added, thankful her wand was currently passing for a chopstick.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Mine's Gabriel." Given there's a Winchester around, no point lying. "Getting dropped here has been less than awesome timing for some, great for others, depending on what's been going on. You aren't yelling about needing to go back home right now, so I'm guessing there isn't terrible timing for you."
