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!

[Now it's Elizabeth who pauses. How could he not know?]

The shambling dead? As a result from the Black Plague. London had fallen before I was suddenly...[She shrugs, but a bit worriedly.] Here.

Which isn't precisely there, is it? I do apologize. I should not have assumed you'd be familiar with my situation.

[brochtuarach]

Shambling dead? Nay, there's no such thing where I come from. Only monsters I know of are human. [ Only humans could be capable of committing monstrosities against one another. ]

[otherqualities]

Well, the walking undead were formally human until infected.

[She cocks her head, studying him a moment.]

Given the plethora of folk I've met thus far, one must assume I think, that we are not all of similar origin. Perhaps the wisest course is to assume that the manner of where I come from is not the same as others. [She's not ready to grasp the idea of different worlds/realities/dimensions yet, but give her time.]

As such, please accept my most sincere apologies, Mr. Fraser, for any uncertainty or confusion I may have caused you. [An English woman and virtual stranger, offering him a sincere apology. Hell freezing over, maybe?]

Though I do concur that human beings can be just as monstrous as those who have become such in more evident definition.

[brochtuarach]

Ye've nothin' to apologize for, mistress. We've all been put on our ears by showin' up here.

[ And a Scotsman who is gracious and gentlemanly! Will wonders never cease.

Also, he's used to women in his life talking about things he knows nothing about and can't understand. The perks of marrying someone from 200 years in the future. ]

But if you'd like, I'm happy to accompany ye, wherever you're going. [ Regardless of how good she is with those weapons, a woman shouldn't be wandering around unescorted. ]

[otherqualities]

[Elizabeth would be in complete agreement on the matter of escort...well, maybe 80% of the time? Now and again a woman just has to get things done, and can't wait. But by and large, it's a gentleman's role to lead the charge, so to speak. Where she comes from, women are competent combatants, but it's not as if they can join the army.]

To be quite honest, I was merely trying to get a measure of the terrain. This land is new to me, and obviously you as well. I had no specific destination in mind, save to eventually return to the quarters which had been granted to me. I would quite welcome an escort, provided I am not hindering you from your own purpose.

[Strength in numbers.]

[brochtuarach]

There's no hindrance, I assure you. I was doing much the same, myself. Might as well do it together as not, eh?

[ He offers her a faint smile. ]

[otherqualities]

Indeed. Thank you, Mr. Fraser.

What directions from this point have you explored thus far?

[She moves to her pocket, pulling out a paper that she carefully unfolds. It's the map they were all given upon arrival, though there's also some penciling in of terrain that she must have added during her explorations.]
