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!

The island name sounded familiar, probably from the studying that Izzy'd done of the map. That didn't mean she had every detail memorized, though, not by any means. The shadowhunter nodded, though, taking in the details that Gabriel shared with her. Of course, the really blue door and shudders bit stood out in what he shared because it was a particular detail. "I take it you're a fan of the color blue, then." Izzy laughed, lightly as she bobbed her head in a nod. She now had a little bit of direction to go with a common place that she could find her brother.

Stopping someone had definitely paid off thus far. Izzy had quite a bit more information than she had wandered out of her starter phone with.

"With that description I'm pretty sure that I couldn't miss it." Izzy shared, truthfully. It was vivid enough that the details would stand out until she managed to actually match the building. The only problem with having the details now was that she wanted to find Alec. He'd waited a month, though, and he had no idea she was here. So, he could wait longer; it was Izzy that had to fight for patience at the moment, though.

"Now that doesn't surprise me." And it didn't. Gabriel, himself, was much more of a surprise. He was almost a direct contradiction from what someone might expect of an angel...in every sense. "I'm just going to be grateful that you're not the nephilim-hating sibling, especially since you're the first person that I've approached."

Izzy had more questions than she could get out in a first meeting. And some of them depended upon seeing Alec, at the same time, so she offered Gabriel a smile. "I've probably taken up too much of your time already, but thank you."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Hey, it's colorful and serves as a good reference point for someone who needs to find it in a hurry," Gabriel says with a shrug. Of course, it is a rather nice shade of blue.

"On the bright side, those of my siblings who are here aren't offended by your existence either," Gabriel offers. "In our universe, nephilim are the results of angels getting a bit... friendlier with humans than certain older brothers of mine would prefer, rather than as a line of defense against demons and anything else causing problems."

In other words, they weren't supposed to exist. "I've told Alec that I'll warn him if any angels who wouldn't react well to you guys show up. Anyway, stopping by wasn't a problem. I actually came looking for you when I sensed you were here."

He gives her a wry smile. "You're kind of a glowing sign to those who know what to look for."

[withstyle]

"Oh, you're not getting any arguments from me on that point." Izzy grinned, unable to help herself. Blue just wasn't her color, personally. And before she could stop herself that, basically, anyway...came tumbling out of her mouth while she reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, her bracelet shifting slightly on her wrist. "I'm a little more partial to red, personally, but blue works, I'm sure." It probably hadn't even needed said, minus the probably part.

After all, Izzy's lipstick (as always) was red and made that plenty obvious enough.

"Sounds like all of the angels here are the modern thinkers." Izzy commented, maybe a little amused. Modern thinking and angels seemed to be total opposites of each other, bu she was definitely looking at what appeared to be an angel doing exactly that. She didn't expect his explanation of nephilim though and didn't quite hold back the snort before it came back. "It sounds like your universe is a lot different. I can't imagine that happening in mine."

She didn't know what she made of the differences, but she filed the information back, just in case she needed it later. She really hoped that she wouldn't need that warning, truth be told. This place was an unknown for Izzy and she needed time to settle in, but even after she didn't look forward to the possibility of coming face to face with an angel who wouldn't react quite as well at her mere presence. "Lets hope that none of them show up, no offense."

Izzy grinned and couldn't help herself as she crossed her arms, considering what Gabriel was telling her. Glowing sign? Well, she'd been called worse, she was sure, and she always stood out in her preferred wardrobe. "I've always had a tendency to stand out." She joked, despite knowing that it was serious; that was just the way she dealt with things. If an angel that didn't like nephilim showed up...she'd have to deal with that, but for now...luck was on her side and Izzy'd take that. "Guess it's not just from my amazing sense of style."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Enh. More like all the ones here are the ones who left Heaven for whatever reason we've all had," Gabriel says with a shrug, as he shoves his hands into his pockets as something to do with them. "We've all had different reasons. I don't feel like getting into them right now."

Considering he's told Alec, she can bug her brother for it.

"Oh, while I'm thinking about it, there's a nephilim from a different universe than either of ours running around. Watching him and Alec go around in circles, not quite figuring things out was fairly entertaining before I took pity and clued them both in." That was a popcorn worthy show he was treated to. Pity Jo wouldn't have let him produce some for himself.

[withstyle]

Izzy could definitely be described by the word meddlesome at times, but the thing was that that applied to her brothers, mainly. So, she wasn't going to pry information from the angel if he didn't want to share it. She accepted his decision that he didn't feel like getting into the subject now. She didn't know him well enough to really pester for more information. Plus, the fact that Alce was here (and that she needed to find him because of that) was still at the top of Izzy's priority list.

So, she couldn't exactly be too bothered by Gabriel not expanding on something that seemed like it was a personal subject.

Izzy's eyebrow shot up, slightly interested in the knowledge that there was a nephilim from another universe here. What were the differences, Iz couldn't help but wonder. "That's...interesting." Izzy commented lightly. "So, grand total, there are three of us now. Two from, presumably, the same universe...not accounting for variations, but the third from a whole different universe right out of the gate. Nice and complicated, just the way I hate things." Izzy's voice was light and she even gave a little bit of a shrug with it, but she wasn't speaking lies, not at all.

Complicated things could get annoying, particularly when it came to time, magic, and this kind of thing. The girl could already feel the headache developing from all of this. "Do I even want to ask if there's anything else that I should know before I go and find my brother?"

[lotsoflaughs]

"C-H-R-I-S can go popping about just as easily as full angels. Saying his name also pings him, resulting in him tending to show up to see if he's needed." Hence spelling out the guy's name. Gabriel doesn't want to need to tell him to go away. "His angels are... a lot more involved than my siblings and your angels. I think he's had time to get used to the fact not all universe's angels are hands-on, so he shouldn't be having a tantrum in your direction about it."

Gabriel gives her a wintery smile. "He's lucky none of my big brothers are around for him to pull that shit with instead of me. We've since hashed things out so he won't stick his foot in it again."

[withstyle]

Izzy tilted her head at the explanation of the other person in the whole angel mix. It was probably immature, but Izzy could already feel herself fighting the urge to actually try calling out to Chris, just to see if he actually popped up like Gabriel said. Izzy had definitely never heard of anything quite like it. Warlocks could travel via portals and everything, but hearing their name and then bang, not so much. "Well, that's definitely new." Izzy lifted her head, a bit of a grin in place.

She was resisting her urge, just barely, but she was resisting.

"Though, I will say, spelling out a certain someone's name does take a little longer than just saying it." Izzy spoke, amusement coloring her tone. If someone who was Chris' version of angel had to pop in any time they heard their name...she could definitely understand how they'd wound up much more hands on. Izzy nodded a little bit, not particularly concerned about tantrums. She'd have been able to handle it even if this stranger she didn't know had a tantrum at her. "Seems like it'd be hard not to wind up hands on if you hear your name pings you, but good to know all the same."

Izzy studied Gabriel a moment, getting the feeling that as personable, and as willing to interact as he was...that he could also be mercurial at times, if what he was saying was anything to go from. The shadowhunter nodded, to show that she'd heard Gabriel. "Hashing things out is always for the best, especially since it seems like we're all sort of lumped together by virtue of what we are."

Plus, Izzy had a feeling that being completely at odds with someone like Gabriel wouldn't go well.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Welcome to a place with people from multiple universes," Gabriel says dryly, smile becoming decidedly less chilly. "Different rules for different versions. I once referred to him as 'He Who Shall Not Be Named Lest He Pop Out Of Nowhere'. You're not someone he knows, so he... probably won't show up if you use his name."

It's true that while he's the most easy-going of the archangels, he can fairly rapidly snap into a rage if someone was fool enough to press his buttons. Even then, he's more likely to give someone a chance to decide it's not a good day to die than his brothers would. Granted, usually not that much of a chance.

[withstyle]

"Where things are more complicated and twice the trouble." Izzy added on, a bright smile pulling at her mouth. It didn't quite match Gabriel's dry tone, but it still finished the words that he threw out, nonetheless. She could feel the difference in his tone now. She definitely wasn't going to forget the cold edge that crept up when it came to Chris, though.

Interpersonal realationships and emotions...well they were Izzy's thing...most of the time. As was meddling. Even if she didn't admit that out loud all that often. She'd decided that was the case, at least, from what she gathered on Gabriel's side of things. She didn't have a clue if Chris felt the same, but there was something there to note and not forget for the duration that she was stuck here, at least.

Letting out a laugh Izzy shrugged. "Maybe that's my excuse if I decide to test out pinging him, then." A joke, yes. Still, she'd be lying if she said she weren't curious. Izzy was just about always curious, though. "I'm resisting for the moment, though, obviously. I've got a brother to find, after all." Izzy smiled, finding the friendly nature with ease.

"I should probably let you go so I can go do that. He'll be making grumpy cat faces if he finds out I was here for very long and didn't go and find him. Well, I'm guessing, anyway." Izzy figured that she was guessing right, anyway. And even if she were wrong, she seldom admitted it.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel and Chris actually got along fine the first time they met. Chris has only himself to blame for things going sour.

"Feel free to let him go nuts trying to figure out who told you. There's a few of us who know how to get his attention," Gabriel says with a grin.

"Anyway, see ya. Probably at whatever point you decide to check out the Roadhouse. I'm fairly often there," he says before disappearing with a quiet whisper of wings.
