Welcome to Medietas! Have an interest in joining the game? Maybe you have an old muse that you want to dust off? Or, maybe you're just looking for a place to voice test a brand new character and would like to do so in our little island setting among friends? Well, whatever the reason, this is where you can do that!

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. Of course, you can't help wondering what the heck is going on, or how you even got on the boat in the first place. But as soon as the vessel docks you are greeted by some lovely locals who offer you a map and a communications device before leaving you to your own. You probably have questions and there seems to be a number of people there already who may or may not have those answers. Talk to them! Or, get on the network and introduce yourself!

2. Getting Settled: So, now that you've arrived and wandered around the starter home you've been given, it's time to check out the rest of the islands. There's a market on Aerilon that is full of treasures. Or, you can check out Chapter Six bookstore. Perhaps you wander over to the Mean Princess facility on Mulciber. There is so much to see!

3. Event: Teams are being put together to venture out deep into the islands of Eurus and Mulciber to track and destroy a vicious beast who has been the reason for the disappearances of several island locals. Please help stop the creature before anyone else goes missing!

4. Wild Card: Got something else in mind and want to create your own scenario? Go for it!

Zane Donovan - Eureka

[criminalstud]

@ Docks/Restaurant/Bar/Cafe

This was one of the weirdest things to ever happen to Zane. Luckily one of his many many talents was keeping a level head. He was happy to have all of his limbs intact and took that as a sign that whatever he’s gotten himself into he can get himself out of. At least he’s not stuck in Eureka anymore, that’ll probably piss Carter and Lupo off. The mental image made Zane smile.

Taking long, confident, strides Zane made his way off the weird boat and onto the floating island. The lack of tech wasn’t much of a comfort but being handed a phone brought a devious glint to his eye. He flashed his charming boyish smile at the locals, got some information and then found a place where he could get to work.

He wasn’t even going to see if anyone was here, he had to get this damn tracking bracelet thing off his wrist.

He found a corner table at a local place and set to work. He pulled the back part of the phone off and carefully rewired the circuit. With everything in the right place he held it up to the bracelet on his wrist. The result created a spark and a clunk as the bracelet feel to the table. There was a red burn on his wrist but at least the tracker was off.

@ Video

[After procuring a new phone Zane decides it's time to address the masses. He can't say he hates it here but he needs something to fill his time. A charming smile flashes at those looking at their phones.]

So, what do you all do for fun around here?

[gijo]

Jo couldn't even say that this was the weirdest thing that had ever happened to her OR that she was surprised that this had happened to her. She might not have been surprised but she was pissed because unlike being sent to alternate Eureka, she was... On a fucking floating island.

She rolled her shoulders, reached up and pushed her long ponytail over her shoulder. No, this really wasn't Eureka. But how the hell had she got there? Fargo. He'd probably pushed or touched something he shouldn't have at GD - thinking that since he was in charge, he could do it. Ugh! She was going to break his little geeky fingers!

Jo was grumbling under her breath as she made her way through the city (town? whatever) - the items she'd been given tucked in her suit jacket pockets. Well at least here, she wouldn't have to deal with the fallout of accidentally telling Zane about everything when she'd thought he was a figment of her imag--

She froze, spotting Zane of all people through a window-- taking of a tracking device? What the hell?! She didn't even think past that, she just moved to the doors and pushed them open, charging inside. "Zane. What the-- What are you doing?!"

[criminalstud]

Zane looked up when he heard the familiar voice and smiled his trademark cocky grin. "Hey sexy. Didn't know you landed here too." He held up his palms, ignoring the fact that he took off the tracking device. "Before you say anything, no this isn't my fault."

He stood up from his head and took a step towards Jo. "But I am happy to see you." His tone was clearly trying to egg her on. After all, he's done nothing wrong in this world.

[gijo]

Sexy? Seriously? She looked at him in complete disbelief. The Zane she'd last seen had only barely tolerated her and had a thing with Zoey. This one must have hit his damn head while he'd been getting off of the floating ships.

"I never said it was your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's probably Fargo and his need to push buttons." Her eyes narrowed a bit and she stared at him unconvinced. She was still thinking of the Zane in her world and the fact that she'd been pretty much hallucinating him.

"Why? What did you do?"

[criminalstud]

"Fargo?"

Zane looked at Jo with an expectant stare. He'd thought she'd yell at him, hell he planned for it. He enjoyed getting under her skin if only to see a break in that serious expression of hers. His smug expression dropped to a frown.

"The hell is wrong with you? You're not going to arrest me again?" He didn't answer her question because he had already established that he hadn't done anything and it didn't feel important enough to repeat.

sorry for the late reply! recovering from ankle surgery!

[gijo]

"Why would I arrest you? I'm not a deputy any..." She trailed off and looked him over. This was weird, weirder than normal weird Eureka stuff. He wasn't reacting how she was use to and wasn't cracking jokes about Fargo.

"There's nothing wrong with me," Jo sighed and then rolled her shoulders. Right. She was use to weird and she was use to pretending she didn't give a damn about Zane. She could do it all again. Hell this probably wasn't even the Zane she'd just seen or the Zane from her original timeline.

"What do you remember last before coming here?"

You're all good!!! I'm excited to keep going

[criminalstud]

Zane's eyebrows rose expectantly at her. "Seriously? You and sheriff-dipstick put that tracker on me so I would help you with your weird project. Look you can't keep me locked up here when we don't even know what these freaky floating islands are." He assumed that she was going to go on some crusade.

He wasn't from the alternate timeline but he'd only just arrived in Eureka and was still under probation. He didn't really want someone watching him while he was here, more so with this tech level. Zane wanted to see how far he could push those boundaries.

"So let me get this straight. We're the only two here?" His smile was getting a little wider as perverted thoughts came to mind.

Belle | Once Upon A Time

[littlechippedcup]

Arrival

[The boat ride had been a bit jarring, to say the least. While she was unbothered by the boat and being at see, it was the fact that she was traveling to parts unknown that made her worry. Rumplestiltskin had entrusted her with protecting Storybrooke while he and the others traveled by boat themselves and it was a poor way to keep to that job if she was being sent off and away.

Upon reaching the shore and being given a map, Belle begins to explore while also being mindful of others who might also be lost. She wanted to help, after all. This wasn't Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest but she was far from helpless.]

Chapter Six Bookstore

[Anyone wandering about would be surprised to see someone unfamiliar already making themselves right at home in the book store. Already she had a good sized pile sprawled out on a table, thumbing through each one as she tried to immerse herself in this new world. She wanted to learn its secrets and... maybe see what they had for a romance or adventure novel or two. Having yet to see a familiar face and giving up looking for the moment, Belle's last refuge was this distraction.

She had come to the conclusion on her own that she was the only one here and the others had safely arrived in Neverland. At least that was what she tried to tell herself.]

[disneydescendant]

[Henry enjoyed frequenting the bookstore. It was another place he could hide away from his mother's incessant whining that he needed to go to school. This was a compromise in Henry's eyes even if he couldn't bring Mister Spots inside.

As he browsed the shelves, he noticed someone familiar but also new. Smiling, he headed over there. This would be interesting depending on her timeline point. Especially when Grandpa found her considering his.]

Belle! [He stood there, saying nothing else, looking older than she would expect, but with his usual grin on his face.]

[littlechippedcup]

[Belle looks up immediately, dropping her book to the pile in front of her. While Henry was not unwelcome, he was unexpected. It certainly was a better surprise than finding herself on a boat to a foreign land.]

Henry?

[Pushing herself to her feet, Belle takes him in once he steps closer. She had no idea about timelines or confusing things like that, or that Rumplestiltskin and others were present on the islands. For now, Henry was enough.]

Wh- how?

[This was not how she imagined some grand reunion to be like.]

[disneydescendant]

[Henry chuckled.] We're not entirely sure on the how but I can try and answer the other questions I know you have.

[Because it wasn't Belle if she didn't have a million questions about any given subject.]

Though I do have to ask...what's the last thing you remember before waking up on the boat?

[littlechippedcup]

The last thing I- everyone was boarding the Jolly Roger to save you from Neverland.

[But what remained of him and the others?]

If you're here - is Rumple here? Where are the others?

[disneydescendant]

Neverland. Right. [Henry muttered to himself. Then he heard her next question and smiled.]

Sort of...The thing is...time works a little weird here. People can come in from different points in time. You're from my past.

[littlechippedcup]

[It takes her a moment to absorb his words and when she does her brows knit together, showing her confusion.]

Is it some sort of curse?

[She's not the most experienced in magic but she's read enough about it.]

[trueloveskid]

[Regular trips down to the docks are a habit of hers, even when she's not working. It's a good walk, and sometimes (though rarely, to be sure) she comes across someone she knows from before arriving in this place. She almost misses Belle among the crowd at first, but then she catches sight of the familiar woman.]

Belle?

[littlechippedcup]

Emma. What's going on? What is this place? Where?

[She wasn't as frantic as she'd been on the boat, just drifting along until she reached shore. It made her less anxious having a familiar face, even if it wasn't Rumplestiltskin.]

[trueloveskid]

Let's sit down. [It's a lot, and it's overwhelming. She remembers just how overwhelming. She leads Belle to a nearby bench.]

We're in a place called Medietas. And that's about all anyone knows about it. We don't know why we're here, or how, or who's responsible for bringing us here. Or how to get home again.

[littlechippedcup]

[Belle moves to sit almost as soon as she reaches the bench with Emma. This was all just so much.]

And Storybrooke? Is everyone alright there?

[trueloveskid]

I assume they're the same as they were went we left them. This place seems to work in a way similar to Neverland, instead of time not moving while we're here, it won't move while we're gone. Apparently we return to the exact moment we left from.

[littlechippedcup]

And we all just - we just stay here and wait?

[The only thing she could think that would possibly be good about this situation was having Rumple here with her and yet her father wasn't here. Their friends weren't here. What could they possibly do to go back?]

[magicsprice]

[When Gold had left for the market, he never thought his world would be so turned upside down due to the sight of one person. The obvious answer was that whatever was responsible for dragging people here had managed to also drag her here before...

He stopped that train of thought before it could go much further and silently debated if he should go make his presence known. She would learn of him soon enough, best perhaps to let her know personally that he was here. Perhaps even apologize to her for his actions prior to making her leave his castle.

These chances to amend things with those dear to him had him wondering again just why whomever was responsible for this actually was doing it.

Gathering his resolve and what little courage he had, he made his way toward her and hoped his changed appearance didn't make this even harder than it already would be.]

Belle?

[littlechippedcup]

[Rumplestiltskin was far from the last person she expected to see. She believed in fate and in Rumple, even when he did not. He would find very quickly that he would not need to rely on courage just to face her. For Belle, what happened in his castle had long been forgiven and forgotten. Had there ever been something to forgive? It didn't matter now because as soon as he spoke her name she moved towards him. Few were even allowed in his personal space but Belle didn't even hesitate to throw her arms around him.]

Rumple!! [She was content to hold him close and be held.]

I'm so glad you're here.

[ 'Let this be real, let him be real.']

I'm so glad you found me.

[magicsprice]

[That certainly hadn't been the reception he'd expected and he wondered just when Belle might be from, even as he let himself return the embrace.]

I'm glad you're here as well.

[More than words could really express, because the alternative was something he'd really rather not consider or dwell upon. But time to bite the bullet as it were and learn just from when Belle was from and then perhaps explain the matter of time being so malleable here.

Though there was the possibility she already knew that last part, and given her clothes, he wondered if she'd already been here for a time and he just hadn't been aware of it. Still, the matter of possible differing time frames should be addressed regardless.]

This may sound strange, but what is the last thing you remember before you arrived here?

[littlechippedcup]

You and the others were leaving to go rescue Henry from Neverland.

[It's said automatically, though she realizes he might not even know about it yet. What was the last thing he remembered? It made her feel anxious all over again, that time she had been without her memory. There had been nothing - not of him or anyone else. Not until Regina had toyed with her to hurt him.

At least he knew her, that was enough. Surely that was enough for him too, considering so many other things that had come between them.]

You asked me to stay behind - to protect Storybrooke with a cloaking spell.

[magicsprice]

[That resulted in a confused expression that held a trace of concern lurking beneath it.]

You--I--Regina... [He silenced himself before he made himself look more of a fool to collect his thoughts and try and put the pieces together.

The first being that Regina had flat out lied to him about Belle's demise. He was partially furious with her over that, but also in a small way angry at himself for accepting it as easily as he had. He should have looked into it, but he hadn't... he'd accepted it and moved on with his goal to reunite with his son, while nursing a grief and more regrets that he could have settled had he not bought Regina's tale so easily or completely.

He wondered just where Belle had been within the town during the curse. Regina no doubt had her tucked away out of his sight, so her falsehood wasn't revealed for the lie it was.

He gave her a quiet smile that held an undertone of sorrow and regret, yet he tried to sound reassuring and proud as he addressed her last statement.]

The town couldn't have been left in any better hands.
