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!

The party had been nice. The people nice enough. They blatantly ignored it when Elsa accidentally frosted one side of the boat as she was getting out. That was a good sign to the Queen. The rest of the day had been spent trying to convince herself that Anna was more than capable of Running Arendelle without her. At least for the time being. She'd figure a way home. Eventually.

She hadn't wanted to make it to the party but it seemed like a good way to meet everyone else. Maybe talk to them to see how long they had been here. As soon as she arrived, she followed the sweet scent of chocolate though and found herself walking right up to the chocolate founding.

"Anna?"

Now that he's had a chance to get settled in to his house, and used to the idea of being in a strange new place, he's going to take advantage of the nice weather to go exploring a bit. After looking through the house, he estimates that there's enough there to last him for about a month. That gives him time to start familiarizing himself with the place before he needs to worry about a job, but it doesn't hurt to get an idea of what's out there.

Come and find him when he's out for a walk.

[a_chipped_cup]

She shook her head, glancing over her form for any injuries that might have escaped her notice. No, her coming here was almost peaceful. "Who are you? What is this place?"

Adrian knew he shouldn't be drinking and yet, here he was, getting sodding drunk so that he didn't feel the cloying press of Spirit against his mind. When he drank, he heard Tatiana less, he heard his own self-doubt less, everything was simply less. It felt better.

Currently he was balancing an unlit cigarette between his lips and an over-full glass of scotch, trying his best not to spill it on passersby. "Careful, not all here," he called out as warning.

Understatement.

[gotbackin]

"Least I know when you lose that helmet of yours, your head doesn't go with it." Seriously, Cap. Knock that shit off. It's enough to give a girl a heart attack before she turns thirty. Sam has found herself a nice wooden crate to sit down on and people watch, because the people here are a little wild. Nice. Very friendly.

But way too accommodating of an influx of immigrants who shouldn't even be coming in.

[siriuslydementd]

"The whole house has it in for you." It would be a joke if it weren't probably true. He wouldn't put it past any of their forbears to have put in traps against anyone of less than pure blood. His father had taken measures to hide the house from the Muggle neighbors, after all. "You're not going to fall off this place, are you?"

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric smiles a touch more, himself, at seeing hers, even if her words hint further at the sorrow he already suspects. But, no need to pry. He chuckles, relaxing against the trunk of the tree, and raises his eyebrows at her question.

"...well, a varied tale, if I'm to confess the truth, Lady Stark. I had tutors, of course, and I've traveled and met musicians far more talented, but had also the good fortune to count among my friends the families of the staff on my family's estate. I learned at least as much from them--even if many of those lessons would not be entirely appreciated at Court."

He figures he doesn't need to explain that, not if her family's referred to as a House. Surely, she knows people who would turn their nose up at anything done by a commoner; and really, for all he knows, she might, but he'd rather assume the best, all else being equal.

"But, as my grandfather would say, there's something to be learned from everyone."

[stephrogers]

When her eyes fell upon her friend, Steph beamed and made a beeline to her, wanting to hug her.

"What's the situation here? They pulled you in too? How long have you been here?" She asked.

[a_chipped_cup]

[The sound of his voice jarred her awake from her daze. She had been sent away from Storybrooke, having only just turned around after receiving Henry's call. The sudden detour into wherever this was, it had taken everything in herself not to break down. Gold had proven himself to be unselfish and caring, he put her first. The realization had left her longing to be with him.

Of course fate had intervened. But with his arrival, it felt as though she had a second chance. A way to make things right without the constant threat of Storybrooke tearing them apart.

She darted towards him, wrapping her arms around him.]

Rumpel!

[a_chipped_cup]

Are you all right?

[She recognized that look of longing and loneliness. It was one that she bore within her features, eased only by the presence of so many new people. She could distract herself, as she hoped to offer him.

The bandage on his hand worried her. Had he been injured on his way to the island?]

Re: Oliver Queen | Arrow | Party

[redarrowqueen]

Thea nodded since she knew Oliver was right, they needed to understand this place on every possible level. "Consider me your right hand girl, well one of them." since he had mentioned Felicity being around. "What about gear?" she asked,"Because somehow my bow and arrows made the trip." shuddering slightly from the pain racing through her back.

[a_chipped_cup]

"Anna?" It hadn't been too long since she had seen the princess last. The Snow Queen had sacrificed herself and the sisters had been sent back to their home. Everything had ended as happily, as close as it could be with such a bittersweet parting. There was less guilt in Belle's heart, unburdened by her efforts to right the mistake she made long ago.

It was why she could greet her friend with a genuine smile, truly happy to see her again. "I'm so glad to see you!"

[theladyofwinterfell]

"Perhaps there is. There are things I certainly should have learned from the smallfolk," Sansa says, smiling just a bit. It's been a long time since she's talked with someone gracious and sweet and highborn.

"And things I should continue to learn."

[completely_ordinary]

"ELSA!" Anna grips Elsa by the upper arms and bounces twice before dragging her into a hug. "You're here! I mean, you're here." She bites her lower lip and pulls back to look at her sister, concerned. "Arendelle has done okay without us before...Right?"

[nott_caine]

"So I see," Selene answered, managing to side step before he had the chance to spill on her. Leather, thankfully, wasn't in much danger of being ruined. It wasn't as though she didn't have a change of clothes, carried in her knapsack, left behind in her room. "Drinks should go on the mouth, not the body." She smirked.

"Make it up to me. Got another cigarette on you?"

[ladenga]

She hugged her back tightly and just let that part of her settle in the knowledge that she was with Anna and that Anna was safe.

"It should be." She sounded confident but their home was now in Kristoff's care. That had her slightly worried.

[ooc: Information can be found here! ]

2 - Party time!

[ As a rule, Adrien would not have been caught at a party unless dragged or blackmailed into going. But given that the list of unknowns about this place (and what he was doing here) vastly outstripped the list of knowns, it seemed in his best interest to attend.

He wasn't a particularly engaging figure, preferring to stick to the edges of the celebrations, watching the people who were obviously locals and those who appeared to be just as lost as he felt. Nursing a mug of some fermented type beverage, he fell into the habit of so many wallflowers and ended up circling the food table a couple of times.

He'd just finished eating a bread and cheese snack and moved to chase it down with his drink. This marked the first time he'd actually drank from the mug and as soon as the beverage hit his throat, he coughed and spit it right back up. ]

What the ever loving hell is in this? [ He exclaimed, staring down into the mug suspiciously. Seriously, it had been like tasting pure alcohol! To be fair though, Adrien was a lightweight. ]

4 - Bells! Seamonsters! Chaos! Oh my!

[ Between the bells and the anxious calls of parents and caretakers, it was bedlam all around. Adrien was just getting his bearings, following the flow of the able bodied crowd towards the city's edge, overlooking the body of water.

Just in time to see the creature rising from the waves. ]

Knew that party was too good to be true. [ He grumbled, perhaps just speaking to himself or perhaps commenting to whomever was close enough to hear.

Regardless, he reached into his coat and withdrew a bastard sword, hefting it with obvious familiarity. ]

Anybody have an idea of what would constitute high ground around here?

[ Maybe he should have spent a bit more time exploring. ]

Re: Oliver Queen | Arrow | Party

[viridescere]

"I have my bow too. I don't have my suit," Oliver said. It was not an ideal situation but at least with a bow and arrows, he could defend himself. It comforted him that Thea had hers too.

"We'll be in a good position to defend if we need to."

[thekittenqueen]

[She stared in amazement. Sansa had managed to escape one monster, Joffery, but was placed in the arms of another. It made her heart sink. There had been hope that when Sansa had fled King's Landing, that she had gone somewhere safer and happier, perhaps with Tyrion. The two of them had gotten along well enough, despite her feelings towards his family.

That she had been married to the Bolton bastard, the family that had betrayed hers, it made Margaery sick.]

I'm so sorry. I wish I had known. Who placed you in the Bolton's grasp?

[royalunderachiever]

Adrian flipped another cigarette out of his jacket pocket and offered it to the woman, lips quirked in a smile that was only just this side of a smirk.

"Can I consider myself forgiven? I would never be able to live with myself if I was on the bad side of a beautiful woman."

Re: Oliver Queen | Arrow | Party

[redarrowqueen]

"No suit for you but we're both armed. Weird but a weird that can be dug into." Thea mused between tiny bites. "And exactly, we can defend if nothing else and can let us be a part of things." she observed. "And yes I'll let you give me a once over given the boat based patch up job."

[gotbackin]

"Think Sokovia, only less robots and I'm here." She spreads her hands wide and shrugs. "This whole place is floating up in the air and as far as anyone can tell me around here it's always been like that."

Yeah. Likely. Sam is a pretty big believer in the weird these days, but even that sounds like a whole lot of crap to her.

After a moment she reaches out and hugs her friend. "Man, it's good to see you." Alive. Not unconscious. Or bleeding. That part is real nice.

[theladyofwinterfell]

[Sansa dips her head a bit, ashamed at how naive she'd been. She's no player in the game, that is for certain, and it has been to her detriment.]

Lord Baelish. He claimed he was going to give me Winterfell, that I wouldn't be harmed. He lied.

Re: Oliver Queen | Arrow | Party

[viridescere]

"You probably need it," Oliver said, voice tinged with the bittersweet knowledge of how long injuries like that could truly linger.

"You think it's better and it's not. It's just a patch, not a fix."

[brochtuarach]

[ With the expectation of solitude, and suddenly finding that expectation broken, it's no wonder his instincts kick in for a moment. Jamie is halfway to drawing his sword when he realizes he's being addressed by a lass. A lone, single lass. Out in the forest.

His shoulders drop a bit, and he shakes his head. ]

Aye, I'm fine. Ye shouldn't be out here alone. [ It's meant kindly enough, from his perspective. ]
