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!

"Because some people are idiots." He looked at her knee and with the same tone of voice he said, "you have a brace on," repeating her. He didn't want to assume too much without looking at her, but there was a remarkable amount a spirit healer could do as opposed to someone with non magical healing talent. Anders just happened to have both. Kinloch Hold, as much as Anders hated it, had prepared him well.

"I'll take a look." Anders replied.

"Well, you don't know where we are, or who we got here, or I'm assuming how to get back. I'm beginning to think it might be easier to just ask you what you do know."

[paidforward]

"Yes. It's the standard treatment for an injury like mine back where I'm from. Surgeons can't always fix something like this." She even taps at it with a finger, Anders will hear the soft ding of metal under her pants leg. Maybe he's from a world with magic? It might explain a few things but she would rather not have to leave if he's from a weird anti-magic place.

"They were expecting us. Our names and everything," Brenda starts with a shrug. "I found a few of my possessions had been brought here without my knowledge and placed in this.... little house they had set up for me."

She doesn't appear happy about that but touches a finger to a moon stone pendant she has with her. It was one of her things.

"I'm a little leery of the fact they had my notes. I don't like people prying into my research. But so far they seem to be pretty content to let us wander between the islands. The castle on the central island is closed up right now. I guess whoever really runs this place must be inside.... But I'm not about to poke around there until there's more information out there. Like why we're here. I'm not... exactly well thought of back home but it's not like I did anything wrong."

Surgeon was an unfamiliar word to him, but he could surmise the meaning. Some kind of healer. And the brace she was using on her knee was made of some kind of metal. "I can't fix everything either, but I'd rather not just leave you alone without taking a look." He shrugged.

"Well at least they're prepared for their kidnap victims. Maybe they even have food." Anders could use some food. Maybe even something that wasn't prepared in the hanged man or the sewers. Amazing. "Don't poke around until we know more. Or have some more numbers. For all you know we've been kidnapped by sentient giant spiders and they're fattening us up for a tasty meal. "

His insistence is a little worrying to Brenda. So far she has been able to keep people from finding out why her leg is the way it is. The deal she had made to make sure they could send that thing back to it's realm had been dangerous and foolish.

"Fine. If you insist." There is no bite to her tone she's just resigned.

"They had food. Fairly decent." That gets her to smile a bit. "I know. I already 'outted' myself to some of the others about my skill set. To get people thinking."

[possessed_mage]

Deals were a dangerous thing. If there was anyone who knew that, it was Anders. He hadn't realized just how foolish and dangerous trying to 'help' a friend had been, and in doing so, had changed and corrupted himself forever. But, Brenda would still get a lecture. Anders was also a complete hypocrite.

"Good. Now that's out of the way." Anders gave her a grin. "And what do you mean 'outed?" He asked carefully, not wanting to give away another mage if magic was dangerous and looked down upon here, but if she didn't mean magic?

[paidforward]

Brenda has gotten her share of lectures for what she did. Anders joining in on it will just make her feel at home. Besides, maybe she will get to explain to him why she made the deal. The others never really understood the pressure she had felt at the time. If they had failed? Brenda can't let herself think on that for long.

"Apparently we've been pulled from different worlds. Literally. Some of these people had no idea magic was real. Or if it is real like in my world, it works differently." Not even afraid at this point because that part seems gone Brenda focuses so she can at least pull a bit of fire into focus. The sparks dance briefly in the palm of her hand before she lets go of the spell and gives her hand a shake.

It always feels strange to not use a full spell. "No one has said anything about it. It's gotten to the point where some of us can openly discuss theory without being worried about unnerving anyone."
