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!

It has been years since he's seen her but he recognizes her. It's Claire, Galen's lover, and she's someone he did consider a friend if not a close one. Galen, the second apprentice he'd failed. Damn.

"Claire? Where's Galen? When did you get here?"

[guessihavelostcount]

Realizing that it's actually him and not some copy, that he actually knows her, feels like a little punch to the stomach for Claire. It leaves her just a little breathless even as she smiles at him. Or at least, she smiles until he mentions Galen.

She falters a bit. "I just got here today. As for Galen, I haven't seen him...in years."

[only_hope]

Obi-Wan frowns at that. He had hoped if they went another place that they'd go together. Seeing her alone hits him like a physical blow.

"I'm sorry, Claire, truly. I know he cared greatly for you." That was an understatement, to be sure, but he is at a loss of what, exactly, to say. Dealing with loss is never easy.

"I'm glad to see you again, though, in spite of everything."

[guessihavelostcount]

Truthfully, she had hoped the same thing. She had even convinced herself that it might actually happen, that she might get to go with him to his world or that he could come with her to hers, but it hadn't happened. It had felt like losing herself when she had lost him but she learned to live too.

"I know he did." She murmured softly, unable to deny the pang she felt. "I loved him too."

Swallowing thickly, she pushes down the emotions as she looks up at Obi-Wan and smiles again. This part is easier because it's always good to be reunited with people. "I'm glad to see you too. You have no idea how glad."

[only_hope]

"I think he would be glad I was here...that we're here together to keep watch over one another."

Obi-Wan had become excessively good at watching and waiting and this was no different than the time he'd spent watching over Anakin's son.

"We can take care of one another."

[guessihavelostcount]

Hearing that he thought Galen would be glad that Obi-Wan was here, and that they could take care of each other, caused Claire's throat to tighten with a surge of emotion. She believed him, of course. She knew without a doubt that Galen would be relieved to know that his trusted mentor was there to watch over her but also for an entirely different reason.

"We can." She nodded, reaching out to touch his arm with a gentle squeeze. "But first, I should show you something."

Turning, she looked over to where a little boy was sitting on a chair against the wall. He was sitting with his legs crossed on his seat, his hands resting lightly on his knees as he watched everyone with a quiet expression. His hair was a soft sandy brown and his eyes were nearly a definite match (maybe just a shade or two darker) for her own but the quiet demeanor? The look on his face? Nearly everything else about him? Definitely all belonged to his father.

"We named him Ben." She murmured softly, looking over at Obi-Wan.

[only_hope]

The boy was young but he could see Galen in him all the same, in the tilt of his chin and the way he carried himself. He was certainly his father's son, even if it was more subtle than Claire's features stamped across the boy's face.

"Ben," Obi-Wan said softly, touched that they would choose that name for their child even though he'd disappeared before ever meeting him. "Claire, I'm honored. I could never be more honored than this."

[guessihavelostcount]

"You meant a lot to Galen." She murmured with a soft fond smile as she watched her son. "And, by extension, to me too."

"His full name is Benjamin Noah Marek." She nodded, thinking again that maybe she should have changed his last name to her own but she wanted him to have Galen's last name. Another part of his father since he would never likely see him again.

[only_hope]

"It's a strong name," Obi-Wan said, voice tight with emotion. It was difficult to think of his apprentice, to think he failed him, but this...this was no failure. This was a success.

"Did he continue his use of the Force after I left? I would hate to think he put it aside even though I wasn't there to guide him through the trials."

[guessihavelostcount]

She looked pleased to hear that he thought the bane was a strong one and she found herself nodding in agreement.

"He did, all the time." She answered with a nod, watching Obi-Wan again. "He got better too. He seemed happier and more settled near the end before he disappeared. I just hope it was enough for him to survive whatever it was that he went back to. I still hope that every day."

[only_hope]

"I didn't want to fail him," Obi-Wan admitted. "I'd failed my first apprentice and I felt I owed it to Galen not to fail him when Anakin had failed him. I wanted...I wanted him to have a true Jedi master to learn from. I wanted to help him as much as I wanted to assuage my own guilt. I am glad he learned from it, grew, was happy. It's all I ever wanted for him."

[guessihavelostcount]

"I don't think you failed him one bit. I think it was hard when you were gone but he seemed determined to make you proud of him. It meant a lot that you saw something good in him. Something worth helping." It was the same thing she had seen. It was another part that had caused her to fall in love with Galen.

"Perhaps you could help Ben?" She murmured softly. "I was always worried that he wouldn't have someone but...maybe now."

[only_hope]

"Of course I'll help him," Obi-Wan said. "I couldn't do anything else, Claire. I'll help you both with anything you need."

If he could help Galen's son, it would be almost like being able to finish his apprenticeship, see him become a full Jedi. It would be the right thing to do.
