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!

[For everything that the two of them have been through, and have shared, it's extremely difficult for Felicity to find her voice. Moreover, she's afraid that if she starts talking, she's going to make excuses for the things she's done, even though she had no choice for a goodly number of them - except this. Not so much a choice, but careless to the extreme that she's never, ever been and now--]

There's someone. Nick. His name's Nick. We were... [She glances back over her shoulder again toward the crowd and the dock and then back at Oliver.] ... supposed to be on our back home. Starling City. We ended up here, instead. Two and a half years on that island, and believe me, the irony is not lost on me as I say that to you, and I was finally going home. Now this.

[There was someone else. Oliver expected that to happen eventually back home considering that Felicity had broken things off with him but he had hoped for a little time to prepare, a time to shift into being friends instead of lovers in which he could be genuinely happy for her and not feel jealous or hurt. Instead, he had gotten hammered with this now when he was still reeling and it was hard to know how to react.

Maybe most people would have lashed out in anger but Oliver had always been the sort to turn that inward, to draw in when others might reach out. He did that now, reserving himself, and he hoped that Felicity would understand.]

Did he arrive here too?

[The problem with being near someone for years, getting to know their tells and signs was that Felicity knew the moment that Oliver shut down. It wasn't just a look, but a feeling, and it caused her to ache inside. Putting herself in his shoes, she knew she'd do the same - or worse - and she cleared her throat and nodded in answer to his question, pointing.]

He's a good guy. We, um. [Could there be any more ways to cause the man closest to her in the world pain?] I'm pregnant, Oliver.

[That was a lot to handle all at once and Oliver stepped back for a moment, trying to get his balance. Felicity was in a relationship with another man and she was pregnant. It wasn't something that he had really been prepared to handle and, at this point, accept but he wouldn't hurt her. He needed space, sure, but he didn't want to sacrifice their friendship for it.]

This...is going to take some time. I am happy for you, I promise, it's just hard for me to see my fiancee pregnant and happy with someone else. It...it will take some time. I'll make it work. I always do.

[The reaction was what she was expecting, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt and, when he pulled back even further, she took a deep breath. Hugging herself around her middle, she shook her head once as he spoke.]

I'm not-- Oliver, I'm not your fiancee. I never was. You didn't want me. [She exhaled, frowning, then reached up to rub her hand across her forehead, feeling completely out of sorts herself.] I know it's going to take time, all of it is. Being here. I still think we need to work on getting home.

[Oliver shook his head. He needed Felicity to know that he had always, always wanted her even if it was probably not the best course of action at the moment. How did you tell someone you loved more than life that you would rather break their heart than see them hurt because you acknowledged them? How did you reconcile your need for a personal connection with the need to keep everyone around you safe?]

I always wanted you, Felicity. Always. Don't ever think that I didn't want you. I wanted to keep you safe more than I wanted to be selfish and have you for myself, that's all.
