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!

[As per usual, Henry was down at the docks just in case any other family members had been dragged here also. His puppy, Mister Spots had followed him. Upon seeing Neal, Henry didn't stop and think. He just ran and hugged him, having missed him dearly over the past few years.]

Dad! [He yelled it as he ran and he mumbled it a second time as he continued to hold on. Mister Spots barked, unsure, but Henry didn't care. He had his dad back for a moment. Until it all, inevitably, came crashing down around him.]

Edited 2016-09-10 23:55 (UTC)

[A young boy coming up and hugging him is the last thing that he's expecting. He looks down in confusion before lightly placing his hands on the kids shoulders. He doesn't recognize Henry because he's never been reunited with Emma.]

Dad? [That word alone made his heart sink in his chest.] Hey, kid. I'm your father?

[Who's his mother?]

[The question made him pull back, his grin fading. Of course Neal wouldn't know him yet. That was his life in a nutshell. But he kept himself together and nodded.]

Yeah. Emma Swan's my mother. She's around here too somewhere.

[Mister Spots came up and sniffed Neal, barking again as he recognised the scent. Henry shushed him with a wave of his hand. He needed time to think. At least he was Neal and not Baelfire.]

I'm Henry by the way.

[Emma... the name balances at the edge of his lips as he looks down at Henry. The realization settles against his shoulders and he feels himself lowering so that he can look Henry in the eyes. There is a slight smile on his lips, mixed with disbelief and affection.

He clears his throat.] It's nice to meet you Henry. Sorry it took so long.

[Emma will be another conversation. Right now he wants to be here with his son. No son should grow up without a father.

Neal coughs and wipes at his eyes as if he thought he might cry.] How long have you been here? Maybe you could show me around and we could talk. [He wants a chance to get to know Henry. It feels as if nothing else matters.]

[Henry chuckled.] Yeah. You said that last time. [He smiled again because Neal was smiling. He believed him. It felt good.]

Not long actually but I can show you where I know. Can I ask you...what's the last thing you remember before you arrived on the boat?

Well, [He tilts his head to the side as he rises to stand.] somethings don't change.

[Neal glances around before placing his hands awkwardly in his pockets. This is going to be a whole new world for him.]

I was living in New York. You said you knew me? What do you remember?

Yeah. I guess not. [He patted his leg so Mister Spots would follow but most of his attention was on the man he was walking with.]

New York is where we met. Grandpa was looking for you. The three of us took a trip there a few years ago.

[He was being very careful with his words. He didn't want to scare Neal with thoughts of the future. Especially with how short it would be for him.]

[There is a lot that Neal would run from and a lot that Neal doesn't want to face. Emma is one of those unknown variables but right now he's focused on his son. Even if he is faced with his father he'd stay, he'd never abandon his son. Not to say he's happy with the idea of meeting his father again but Henry is already more important than running.]

A few years? I didn't think time jumped that far in between places. I guess something about this place is different. [Which he already knew.] So, um... when you found me. Did you know I was your father?

[Neal had no idea that he had a son; until now]

This place is special. It doesn't run on the same magical laws that govern the other worlds back home. So people come from all over the place, in space and time. So I'm technically from your future.

[He shrugged. This was old news to him. He'd been in another place like this before here. And having grown up in Storybrooke, it took a lot to rattle him.]

No, I didn't. We were looking for Baelfire. Grandpa was desperate to find you. Then when we did, Mom recognised you and you figured out I was her son and my age fit to when you guys had been together. That's when I found out you were my father. [He grinned.] Making Rumplestiltskin my grandfather.

[It takes a lot to rattle Neal as well though suddenly having a son neared the top of that scale. He lightly places his hand on Henry's shoulder as if to confirm that they were both there. He gave the boy an affectionate squeeze before dropping his hand back to his side.]

A lot of worlds are different. [He knows from personal experiance.] I hope the future is bright but you don't have to tell me about it.

[Neal knows that it's better remaining innocent about such things. However, at the same time, if Henry feels that he has to talk about it then Neal will listen.] That sounds about right. [He coughs and awkwardly rubs his eye.] And my dad, Rumple, he's been good to you?

Yeah. I know. I've been to a few. [He doesn't touch the future thing. It's complicated and mostly crap. But he doesn't mind talking about his family.]

Grandpa's great. He gave me a job in his shop back home even though I was using it to spy on him. He helped me out even before we knew we were related. And in the last place I was in, he got me my puppy.

[Mister Spots barked again, determined to be noticed.] This is Mister Spots.

[Neal looks down at the puppy and smiles.]

He's cute. I like the name too.

[It doesn't sound like his father but he isn't about to argue about that. It's a small comfort that he'll allow himself, a comfort he never thought might help.] Did he arrive here with you?

[The more Neal listens the Henry the more he's coming to love his son. He really is something special.]

Thanks. He was in my cabin when I turned up. Apparently everyone arrives with some items from home. I got my comics, my storybook and the Author's quill and ink.

[Henry bent to scratch Mister Spots behind the ears again.] He'll warm up to you. You just smell familiar to him.

I look forward to it. [He likes dogs.] Your cabin? They give us a place to stay?

[Neal is curious about this place though he's more curious about his son.]

What have you been up to here? School or something else?

Yeah. [Henry nodded. He felt like he was saying that a lot though.] Being a kid, I was assigned to the Village but I've moved into Mom's house now. You'll have a place marked on the map they gave you.

[At that, Henry shrugged. He hadn't done much yet if he was honest.] A little. There's one here but it's not that interesting. So I've been mostly exploring and training.

I'll check it out. [A smile pulls over his lips.] Thanks kid. [The word is spoken with an affectionate tone like that of a father. He has been a father for a very short time but it feels right. Neal's gotten used to trusting his feelings.]

Training? Working on becoming a knight?

[He's curious as to what his son is up too.]

[Henry chuckled and stopped walking. He turned to face his father with a smile. Then he extended his arm sideways and a large Keyblade appeared in his hand. He held it backwards but stood ready for anything.]

Sort of. Managed to accidentally be worthy of this magical weapon.

Impressive.

Does that mean you already know how to use it?

[Magic always makes Neal tense but he tries not to show it. He doesn't know how the Keyblade works and he can only hope that Henry hadn't had to trade something important to get it.]

I know how to fight with it. It's sort of like using a sword. I haven't quite mastered the magical properties within it though. My teacher didn't come here when I did so I've had to muddle through without him.

[He's glad Neal approves. He doesn't think Emma even knows about it.]
