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!

"He's from three thousand years ago!" Etain says, boggled. Maybe she shouldn't be surprised, considering this place brought her back from the dead, but still. What sort of place was this?

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "Well, yeah. I did mention that they weren't from the same time as us. I don't know how that works, but that's how things go here."

     It's one of those things Scorch doesn't try to think about too much because he wouldn't know where to start in trying to make sense of it. Why question it when obviously that's how things happened, here?

[jediforthetroops]

"I didn't think you meant from that long ago!" At least she's been rather thoroughly distracted and is willing to take a bite of her food now.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "Oh. It is a pretty long while back. He's got a depressing history. I guess Bardan's not the first Jedi to go Mando either."

     Scorch finished off one of the wedges finally, chasing it down with a gulp of water.

[jediforthetroops]

"I... don't think he joined the Mandalorians, considering they were definite on opposite sides." Although Etain is recognizing this opportunity to find out what actually happened. Considering the time that's passed, she's aware that a lot of details have been lost. Along with with anything that was flat-out suppressed.

"I'll have to look for him later," she says, shaking herself out of her wool-gathering to take a sip of teas.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     The clone arches a brow at her over his glass of water. "Well, now I'm curious to hear how the Jedi know it. I didn't know anything about it until I talked to him. Not sure if the Order now is as bad as the one from back then, at least from the things he told me."

     He shrugs, popping another potato bit into his mouth. It's more reflex at this point, given that they're sitting on a plate in front of him. "He lives out in that desert island. Speaking of which, you know where you've been assigned? They stuck me over in the kiddy village in Mundus."

[jediforthetroops]

"Honestly? It's not flattering. Not only did he become a Sith, another Jedi quit the order to marry him. Their child--I can't remember if it was a boy or girl offhand--was born sometime after Revan disappeared." She knows that Scorch is well aware of the Order's disapproval of pesky things like their members getting married.

Etain eats another potato wedge and shakes her head. "I haven't really looked at the comm unit I was handed. I was distracted by the map being paper, along with following you. You're with the children?"

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "He did mention some of that," Scorch says. "Well, I'll let him tell his side of things, whenever you get the chance to run into him." It's clear he doesn't think too much about the Sith labeling, but to him it's just a word he's heard mentioned by various Jedi, with only the vague idea of how bad they could be.

     Nodding, he peers at her as though expecting her to laugh. "Yeah, I am. I guess they only went by age when they were sorting newcomers. At least I get my own little space. It came with a bacta dispenser- pretty sure that's not standard with the rest of those cabins." He'd been a bit psyched about that. You could never have enough of those things out on the field. They're lifesavers!

     "The kids aren't too bad though."

[jediforthetroops]

"How confused were the people who run that area when you showed up?" she asks with a small grin, finally fishing the miniature comm unit out of her pocket.

Mention of children is deflating her mood, but she's trying not to let it affect her too much. It takes only a little button pressing to get it turned on and announcing it was hers, along with which island she was on. "...It already knowing my name isn't creepy at all."

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     Scorch grins crookedly. "They did look kinda concerned, but then I guess I'm used to that sort of reaction." It seems a fairly reasonable one when you find yourself approached by someone in full armor carrying weapons and enough explosives to level a city block.

     "Oh. There is that," he says as Etain looks at her communicator. "It's weird- the tech doesn't look all that complicated, but the coding they use comes up as complete gibberish." Figures he tried slicing it first chance he got.

[jediforthetroops]

She inspects it a little longer before turning it off to slip back into her pocket. "Since it's older technology, maybe it's an older form of code that's obsolete for us? Something that old would be hard to understand, wouldn't it?"

It's just a guess, but she thinks it makes sense.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "That's what I wondered. I guess it makes sense in general, given this is a completely different world- not to mention it has access to other worlds and times." It was still kind of annoying, but Scorch had decided that there probably wasn't much worth slicing into anyway.

[jediforthetroops]

She makes a face at that. "Maybe it's something to confuse anyone who knows what they're doing when they try to look at it."

She drums her fingers on the table for a moment as she tries to remember what she had been distracted away from. Ah, right. The other Jedi. "Did Anakin have relatives we don't know about?"

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     That gets a shrug. "Who knows? It's possible, isn't it? Although the thing is, he seems to be from some point ahead of us," Scorch points out. "He got really excited when I said I was from the Republic. And then I dunked him into a tank of water."

     Now that had been fun.

     "Oh, he's working on setting up a Jedi temple here."

[jediforthetroops]

Etain blinks at him, her original question she was about to ask forgotten. "Why did you dunk him in a tank of water?"

Because seriously. What?

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "He was asking for it!" Scorch laughs. "It was part of this fundraiser for the temple. There was this tank of water with a little bench attached to a target on the outside. I figured it wasn't a chance you got very often so I paid for a couple of balls to throw."

     It's no question of whether or not clones have good aim.

[jediforthetroops]

The first sentence, she somehow expected. The rest, she didn't. Although she couldn't help being a little amused. "Did you bother to warn him that him basically daring you to do that was a sure way to get soaked?"

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "Oh, I think he knew he was in for it the moment I said I was military." The target hadn't been all that far to hit. Scorch was used to lobbing detonators so much farther.

[jediforthetroops]

"Well, at least he can't say you didn't warn him," she says before going quiet to eat a few of her share of the potato wedges, mood becoming subdued, now that she no longer had something to keep her distracted.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     He nudges a few more of the wedges from his plate onto her's.

     "Want me to show you around the place after, or help you find out where you're staying? I was going to head to the station- I got a job with the Task Force here. Seems the closest thing to what I know how to do, anyway, but we don't see much action."

[jediforthetroops]

She eats one of the new ones without comment, only a slightly raised eyebrow. Well, not much comment. "Your way of saying haili cetare?"

She considers what to do for a moment, finishing the potato wedge. "I think helping me find where I'm staying would be good. Give me time to let things sink in."

Have a good cry in private. Particularly when she finds the datachip full of pictures and her son's toy. Not that she knows about either of those yet.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     "It's nothing much and I'm not Skirata, but I know you need something to keep you on your feet, at least for a while. House-hunting it is."

     Scorch nods, finishing off another wedge. He wouldn't be surprised if Etain wanted some time alone.

[jediforthetroops]

"Considering he was there when things... happened... he might actually have a heart attack if he saw me." She frowns a little as a piece of detail she missed at the time filters into her awareness. "I think he had Bardan's lightsaber with him."

She remembers the extra food a moment later and nibbles on one of the pieces.

[enemiesgoboomsir]

     There's a pleasant thought, he thinks dryly. Skirata was tiny, but Scorch knows better than to get between a Mandalorian and family. Woe to whoever got caught between that, especially if he'd witnessed what happened to Etain.

     "Sounds like some shabla party."

     Fumbling about a side pouch for the gold he'd need to cover the dish of appetizers and Etain's tea, he plunked it down on the table for the server. Then he helps himself to another potato wedge as though just remembering how good they are.

[jediforthetroops]

"It was a real blast," she says dryly. "Anything he did, I'm sure Ordo also did, since he was standing right by him. Everybody was there. I think they refused to be left behind when he and Ordo came to get me."

Which meant all of them got to see something they really wish they hadn't.

She looks pensively at her tea for a moment before looking back up. "When I asked if you were okay, what I really meant was were you alive. Considering what happened to me... It occurred to me to wonder if something horrible happened after I left."
