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!

Her lips stayed open for mere seconds before her entire demeanour shifted and she straightened up, clearing her throat and shaking her head, an ironic, bitter smile twisting up one corner of her mouth.

"Of course," she said, huffing out a brief, mirthless laugh. "I get pulled to different dimensions over the last several years after being taken from the home we shared in Portland, I'm finally reunited with you after so, so very long," --her voice broke slightly at the word 'so'-- "and it's not a version who's ever laid eyes on me in the slightest." Her eyes search, plead as she peered into his.

Thanks, universe.

Sean now felt even worse when he heard this. He'd loved this woman enough to share a home with her. He had never done that with any lover before because it implied a level of trust he had rarely let a partner have with him. "I know this may sound trite, but your Sean Renard is a very lucky man to have you," he said, "I don't know if I could have lived through changes like that for so long as well as you seemed to have done."

[doomed_copper]

She nodded dismissively, straightening her navy work blazer.

"Sure, no worries. It's--it was nothing. Sorry to have bothered you, Captain."

And with that, she turned to leave.

[thegrimmismine]

"Wait," Sean says softly, "just one second I don't think I got your name....did I? You know all about me. Don't you think I should at least know that?" He flashes her a smile. "Maybe we could....I don't know start again?"

[doomed_copper]

She stopped, turning around, and just blinking at him for a moment.

"Louise," she stated. "My name is Louise."

'START AGAIN'? It didn't compute. She didn't know this version's history, his entanglements, or what the dark side of him entailed.

[thegrimmismine]

Sean smiled. Not his political smile or the smile he gave his family when they had particularly pissed him off, but a real open and warm smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you again Louise. Any woman I seem to trust as much as my other self did you is worth getting to know."

[doomed_copper]

...Before they knew it, they were seated at a small café nearby the docks, small cups of espresso situated in front of them...but Louise hadn't touched hers. Her hands in her lap, her fingers laced and unlaced themselves as she looked into the eyes of her former lover, eyes which were both familiar and unfamiliar all at once. Casting her glance down to her lap, she finally spoke:

"I suppose I should start at the beginning. We met three years ago, London. I was working for New Scotland Yard at the time. There was a joint Portland-UK investigation into a series of deaths, seemingly caused by a certain type of wesen. It brought you to my building on a rainy day...we literally ran into one another outside HQ."

[thegrimmismine]

Sean listens with a calm, open expression on his face. If he was being honest with himself he was enthralled with Louise's story. It's like he's hearing about a part of himself that he's forgotten. Something he'd been trying to find when the Black Claw had offered him that poster of his face. He can't help the laugh that escapes when he hears about running into her. "I hope you didn't think badly of me when I ran into you?"

[doomed_copper]

She demurs, chuckling softly and her gaze returning to her lap. "Hardly. I spoke to you briefly, and quickly, I realised we were on the same case. I ushered you into my office, and we began work."

Her smile, whilst fleeting, was genuine.
