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!

Matt Cade | OC | #1

[pawnshopheart]

Matt is shoved in a corner somewhere on the boat, having come to with panic and confusion crashing into his brain forcing him suddenly conscious. He doesn't even remember falling asleep, and he definitely doesn't remember being on a boat and surrounded by strangers.

As others slowly start to come to, more emotions mix in his mind, twisting and crashing over and around one another until it's just a giant mess he can't sort out. He isn't sure where one person's feelings end and another's begins, doesn't even know which are his own. Nothing has been this bad since the last time he let Jasmine talk him into going to a party. He's used to being alone, or in small groups, prefers it that way because it's easier to control what he picks up. Put him in a crowd and he can't think, can barely breathe because it's absolutely suffocating to sense so much at once.

Like now.

Everything feels too intense, sounds too loud in his head and there's a weight on his shoulders he can't quite place. His knees are drawn up halfway toward his chest, eyes darting suspiciously around at the faces of his fellow passengers as he slowly realizes his chest feels tight and his breathing is off and-- Oh, God, he's going to have a panic attack. No, no. no. No, not here, not in the middle of all of these people--strangers, ones who won't understand and he can't explain because they might be the government's lackey's in disguise and he can't risk it. No one outside his handful of friends had known a damn thing since he'd lost Emily, he'd managed to fall of the radar and he needed to keep it that way.

So, even as he is trying to slow down his own thoughts and find his own emotions so he can sort through them and calm the hell down, Matt stays suspicious. Keeps an eye on the people surrounding him, and just tries to remember how to breathe.

"Breathe." Came the gentle urging from the shadows beside him. At least it seemed to be nothing but shadows at first till a small shifting of movement revealed a slender, dark haired woman sitting only a few feet away from him. Her knees were drawn up too, slightly parted, and she had her arms draped over the top of them as she watched him. She looked relaxed but there was a low hum of tension radiating underneath the surface. She was unsure of her new situation too but the panic she was sensing nearby was a good distraction.

"In through your nose and then out through your mouth slowly." She figured that he probably knew exactly how to breathe in that moment but sometimes even just a reminder would help. That or he would be too annoyed with her to focus on what was freaking him out in that moment. Either way.

She could understand it though as she had suffered a moment of panic too when she first regained consciousness. At first she thought that maybe she had been captured, knocked out somehow and then locked up. There was no one taunting or threatening her though. Just other people who seemed to be feeling the same confusion, and sometimes panic, that she was. After that, she focused on sitting back and listening to everything around her. Doing so left her with more questions than answers but that wasn't really a surprise to her. Not at the moment.

Now she was looking at the young man beside her, lighting sniffing at the air as she waited for a response. Unless he chose to ignore her.
