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!

Balthazar | Supernatural | New Arrival

[badpuns]

Well, you - you've always got little old me.

It's the last thing Balthazar remembers before waking up on the boat. Assuring Castiel that, despite any betrayal, he would side with him. Followed by agony, and looking down to see his favourite brother's blade protruding through his chest, before darkness overtook him.

Then, suddenly, the boat. The boat that's airborne instead of floating on the water, and docking in a harbour on an airborne island. It's strange and if he didn't know better he might think that maybe this is just what happens to angels after they die.

Still, the island seems pleasant enough. The locals are helpful when it comes to his questions, and neither the map nor the device seem particularly complicated. Armed with both, Balthazar sets off to explore.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel sensed him almost right away, but waited a little bit both to make sure and to give him time to orient himself before he gets an archangel dropped on him. Okay, more like appearing while leaning against the nearest wall with arms folded across his chest like he'd been there all along. "Hey, bro."

[badpuns]

Balthazar pauses as he wanders the streets, and pulls out the map, reading it over. He looks around, and turns the map over so he's reading it right side up, when his eyes land on Gabriel.

"Gabriel. It's good to see you." Maybe he should rethink this theory of angels coming here when they die. He grins. He never expected to see his favourite of all the archangels again; he can't pretend he isn't pleased. "What brings you here?"

[lotsoflaughs]

"A boat," he deadpans. Since really. What other answer was Balthazar expecting?

Gabriel tilts his head a little, looking at Balthazar beyond the physical level. "You're from later than I am. About a year or so, I think?"

And he's glad to see you too, little brother. You're one of the fun ones, rather than one of the stuffy paper-pusher types.

[badpuns]

There was no other answer Balthazar expected, and his grin widens. "Not to mention whatever floats it, hm?"

The grin fades as he turns a bit more serious, studying Gabriel for a moment. "I would say that's about accurate, yes. Give or take a few months, perhaps."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Sam told me they went with the back-up I gave them," Gabriel says, in a roundabout way of saying he knew perfectly well what that meant for him. "Speaking of, try not to give him too much shit right now? Give him time to work through the issues being our big brothers' chewtoy's gave him. Then be a pain in his ass."

[badpuns]

Balthazar nods. He understands exactly what Gabriel's not saying. "The plan you gave them worked brilliantly from my understanding." The mention of Sam catches his interest, though, and he raises his eyebrows. "Sam's here too, then? Did his soul make it out too, this time?"

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel blinks slowly at him. "I think you have some stuff to fill the both of us in on. Possibly at one of the bars. He went from being a chewtoy for our brothers to here. There was no in-between."

Hence, Sam needing some time before little brother is an ass.

[badpuns]

"A good bar sounds like a wonderful idea," Balthazar nods. "Tell me they have several here."

They'll have plenty of time to play catch up, after all, and a drink or several certainly isn't out of the question.

[lotsoflaughs]

"You're in luck. There's basically one bar per island." A beat. "One of them's a juice bar, but the others have alcohol."

He doesn't promise there's a bar on every one, just most of them.

[badpuns]

"A juice bar? That's very disappointing. Have you tried them all yet? Do you have a favourite?"

A few good drinks is probably the best suggestion Balthazar's heard at least since arriving on the boat.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Seaman's Flagon," Gabriel says promptly. "Means I can bother Sam at work. Also another hunter named Jo. The place is basically a beach bar."

[badpuns]

"Sounds delightful," he gestures for Gabriel to lead the way. "Jo? As in the boys' friend, Jo?"

[lotsoflaughs]

"Yup. The very same," Gabriel says, walking in the right direction. "She was less than impressed about my 'heard you were dead' comment but since I immediately moved on to something else, there wasn't much for her to complain about. She apparently gets that a lot. Along with being crushed in hugs by whichever one of the boys wound up dropped in whatever world she ends up in."

[badpuns]

"It's starting to sound like this is the place to go for those who are supposed to be dead," Balthazar follows along beside Gabriel. "It sounds like Jo is particularly well traveled, though. Is there anyone else we know here?"

[lotsoflaughs]

The 'supposed to be dead' comment gets a sharp look at Balthazar as Gabriel stops dead. "What happened?"

If little brother was hoping to avoid this conversation, he picked the wrong words to do so.

[badpuns]

There's a pause as Balthazar stops, and glances back at Gabriel. "Well, you're here, Jo's here. I suppose we could count Sam too since stuck in the Cage with Michael and Lucifer is a fate far worse than death."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Jo's a version who never died in the first place and you're avoiding the question," Gabriel says pointedly.

[badpuns]

"I think my point still stands. Mostly, at any rate."

He studies Gabriel for a long moment, before finally giving in with a sigh. No, this wasn't a conversation he wanted to have, especially not while sober. "Castiel. Castiel happened."

[lotsoflaughs]

"He-- what?" To borrow a phrase of Dean's, son of a bitch. Gabriel stares at him for a moment before marching towards the bar that's their eventual destination. "Time for drinks."

[badpuns]

"That sounds like an excellent idea," Balthazar nods, following after him again. He could use a drink, or several, if Gabriel wants to know the full story.

[idisobeyed]

Anna isn't quite sure what is happening when she steps off the boat with a frown. If she is wary about what is going to happen next, no one can blame her for that. After spending what felt like years in 'angel prison' and then being killed by her brother, she isn't sure she can trust what is coming next.

She does stop long enough to get her phone and her map before moving a few steps away from the people handing them out. She is tense, she knows that, and she is expecting an attack but she most certainly isn't expecting to see a familiar face. Or at least not the one she spies.

Not that she says anything at first. No, she just sort of moves into his peripheral vision as she frowns lightly and studies him.

[badpuns]

Balthazar hadn't noticed her on the boat, but, then again, he hadn't paid any particular attention to the other passengers. His head snaps around as he catches sight of her just out of the corner of his eye. He takes a couple steps towards her, but it takes him a moment to get over the shock and offer her a warm smile.

"Anna. It's so good to see you." He gestures around vaguely, "Maybe this really is angels go after they die, hmm?"

[idisobeyed]

Anna desperately wants to believe that he might actually be happy to see her and so she offers a tentative smile when he moves a couple steps closer to her. It could be a trap but she takes a step closer as well.

Then she frowns. "After they...did Michael get you too?"

[badpuns]

"Michael? No, no - nothing like that," he shakes his head. "It was Cas, actually."

It hurts more than he really cares to think about - that it was his favourite brother who turned on him. He would have done almost anything for Castiel. Even the act of betraying him to the Winchesters was done primarily because the alternative may have meant all of their deaths. He still hopes the boys were successful, and Cas is safe.

"It looks like there were far worse places we could have ended up, though."
