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!

She glanced at the hand, and the communicator, then shook his offered hand. "Trini," she said, cautiously. What was going on here? As soon as she could politely do so, she would withdraw her hand. "I don't suppose you want to tell me what's going on? Where I am, Andros?"

[killedzordon]

"Short version? You've been kidnapped. I don't know who is behind it but it's not any of the dimensions I'm familiar with. The stars aren't familiar either. The islands and the natives don't seem outwardly hostile, and we're all assigned places to live, but there's some kind of security system or forcefield around the island. Maybe it's part of the island itself, I'm not sure. It wont let us leave, and if you investigate too much, it knocks you out, kills you and revives you. I really, really don't recommend it until I get some more information."

He could go on, Andros, like Billy, enjoyed gathering information. But, that was the short version.

[speaks_billy]

Rita. Had to be Rita. "And the long version?" she asked. she would find a way to get them out. Whoever them might be. She didn't know who he was or how he had the signal, but if he was trapped here too as part of some scheme, she would get him free. Him and whoever else she might have trapped here. The mention of the stars being wrong concerned her. It implied they had been there for some time. How had Zordon not noticed that people were being kidnapped?

[killedzordon]

"The long version? The locals are friendly but either don't know anything or are under orders not to tell anyone anything. I'm not sure which yet. The islands are governed by a monarchy that's almost never seen and there's a type of either technology or magic working on this island. Whatever is making it float might also be controlling the boat you came in on, as well as the bridges that connect the islands. I'm not sure what they're actually made up of, but they look like solid rainbows." Andros really had a problem with those rainbow bridges and the floating islands.

"It really didn't like me poking around it either. Whatever it was it was powerful enough to disrupt my morph, apparently kill me and revive me a few hours later. And I've met a couple other rangers. Possibly members of your team. I'm not familiar with the other earth teams."

Andros knew he should mention Astronema, but he didn't want too. Not until he knew more about this ranger. Karone was still his sister, no matter what she did.

"Does that answer your questions?"

[speaks_billy]

"Some, and it creates a whole lot more," she said rocking back on her heels a bit as she thought about that. "Are you certain you were actually dead? That could be one of Rita's tricks. If there are others of us here why haven't you all been working together to get out?" They would be, now that she was here. They had to. She really wished Jason were here... Which lead to another question, "Which other rangers are here?" If it was anyone from her team, then she really didn't understand why they were still here.

No, it couldn't be. She'd seen everyone at school earlier that day. So it couldn't be. To meet other Rangers from other groups, to work with them... She hated the circumstances, but when would she ever have a chance like this again?

[killedzordon]

Andros nodded his head, his hand reaching up to fiddle with the red elastic he had held part of his hair together with. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I thought it might be a kind of teleportation device at first, that I got drugged, but several others confirmed I was dead. It's apparently happened to others here before. As for getting out, it's not that simple. We don't have all of the information yet. I'm working on building a scanner to see if I can detect what kind of energy or forcefield is responsible for what happened to me. We can't make a move until we know what's going on. It's too dangerous. There are too many unknown factors."

Sure, Andros rushed in to situations when he was angry and emotional, but when he was calm, he was a good strategist. And always believed in having a plan. But to have plans, you need information. They were no good blind.

"Kimberly Hart and Billy Cranston. Do you know them?"

Andros really wasn't sure how to tell her this. She was obviously one of the teams before, well, before his space team. She didn't know what happened in the future. But he had to make clear one thing. "It's definitely not Rita. Besides, there's nothing overtly evil here. It's only fought back when I investigated too closely. "

[speaks_billy]

"But people who are dead don't just come back..." she said, shaking her head a bit as he spoke, frowning at that. It seemed on the surface like it would be a wonderful thing, if they found a way to undo death... but it wasn't. Overpopulation was already a real problem. If no one ever died or stayed dead, and people kept being born, they'd destroy their world no matter how good their intentions.

"I'll help with the scanner," she said. She'd helped Billy before, she was used to working in a lab. Even one as insane as her uncle's. "But we can't take too long, our teams might be in trouble back home, might need us."

she would have said more, but then he said who was here, and her knees almost went out under her. Kim. Billy. In part she was relieved to not be here alone, to have her friends at her back and to be able to protect them, but if they were sent here to split the team up... the others could be in trouble. Big trouble.

She nodded. "We need to talk to them, they'll help." She was completely confident in that. It wasn't something she needed to check with them, she knew they would do all they could do to help with the escape, to free everyone stuck here.

"Are you certain it isn't Rita? She's seperated us before. And killing someone who was kidnapped for trying to find a way to get home sounds overtly evil to me," she pointed out.

[killedzordon]

"No, they don't. I agree with you. But without the scanner or more information, I won't know how it was done. I work alone." Andros inwardly cringed. That was bad wasn't it. Right people skills. He could people. "I work better alone. But I'm sure Billy would appreciate your help. He's working on creating a Galaxy Glider--it's a method of transportation I use." Honestly, what was Billy's team and teamwork. It was almost like they didn't know how to work by themselves. It was kind of annoying.

"Your team might not know we're gone. If they do, they're looking for you. If they don't, then there's a time differential between this dimension and our own. Besides, it wont help them if we're caught without a plan. People have been here for months. So far, most people haven't been hurt, besides a few isolated incidents."

Andros was really missing the days when his team did what he said. Apparently Trini's team like democracy. "It's not Rita. Or any other threat you might be familiar with. They've been ....neutralized. They're no longer a threat."

[speaks_billy]

She gave him a small smile and out a hand on his arm, if he'd allow it. She'd try, anyway. "Even if help hasn't been the most useful to you before, doesn't mean that we can't help now. We're Rangers. We stick together. Billy will have my help too, but if you know more about the project he is working on, won't both projects go faster if you help him with his and he helps you with yours? And Kim and I will help you both. You'll see."

If he had allowed her hand to make contact, she'd squeeze his arm gently. "If my team is looking for me, and yours for you, then that's all the more reason for us to get home as soon as possible. And we will get home. Together."

She let her hand drop, either way and study him. "What do you mean Rita is no longer a threat?" Rita has always been a threat.

[killedzordon]

Andros let her touch him. Over the past year and a half he'd gotten more comfortable with being touched by other people. However, he flinched when she squeezed his arm gently.

"I appreciate the offer. I do my best work alone. I'll be there to help Billy though. Besides, I'm not from your planet. You're unfamiliar with my level of technology." Hey Trini, at least he didn't call you a pathetic monkey trying to use tools, cause, well, he could have. "KO-35 is much more advanced than Earth. You would need training. It would take too long." He had to train his own team, to catch them up. He didn't want to do it again.

"I'm from the year 1999. Things have changed. Rita's been taken care of."

[speaks_billy]

"If nothing else, I can hand you tools, and be someone to bounce ideas off of. Neither of those requires training. And neither does being a friend," she said with a warm smile. And I'm sure we would love to learn more about your world, and the other Rangers you work with."

1999. The future? But... They beat her that soon. This isn't forever. A few short years and the Earth would be safe. If... if he was right. But just thinking about that possibility made her smile. They could all go to college, have actual jobs, follow their passions, knowing the world was safe.

[killedzordon]

"I'm telekinetic." Andros was really trying to smile at her. Really he was. But without his team with him, without those who knew him and knew when to give him space and when to not let him wallow, well, he'd regressed a little. And Andros wasn't a people person to begin with. He had really started to grow, be comfortable with people besides his own team. And then, Kendrix. It really was their fault, when you thought about it. They hadn't been able to beat the Psycho Rangers. They lost their data cards and when they revived, Psycho Pink killed her. Sure, it wasn't that simple, but things rarely were.

"You don't want to know about my world. You should count yourself lucky on Earth. KO-35 has had to deal with monsters attacks for much longer." Andros paused, and tried to start over, realizing he was being prickly. "Alright. What do you want to know?"

[speaks_billy]

"Telekinetic?" she asked. She would have said it was impossible.... until she had met Zordon and became a Power Ranger. She supposed that was possible, given everything else. "Well, that handles the getting you stuff, but not the having someone to talk to," she said with a warm smile.

"Well, maybe we can come help for a while, after we get out of here. I'm sure Zordon will be okay with it, so long as he can bring us back." Except the whole future thing was kind of difficult. But she had faith in Zordon and Billy to figure it out.

[killedzordon]

"I don't need anyone to talk to. No offense, but I don't know you." What was it with Earth Rangers who thought they could just get him to open up and smile? It was probably a yellow thing too. Even if he didn't know what color her shirt was, he could have guessed from her personality. She had to be yellow.

It was kind of annoying.

"The people on my planet have trained since we were young. I tried to teach some members of my own team, but they never caught on. It might be limited to Karovans." Andros explained.

"I don't think we should be messing with time lines." Andros said, avoiding talking about Zordon. "You have your own future to deal with. I wouldn't want to put that at risk."

[speaks_billy]

"Talking is how you get to know someone. Talking, and listening. And I'd be happy to get to know you, you're family now after all," she said with a bright smile. She was so yellow.

She nodded at what he said about the PK, but they could discuss that later, perhaps. She was more concerned with his seeming to feel like she wouldn't care about his problems for some reason.

"I could understand how we might risk the past, but the future is the future. Everything we do in the present impacts and changes our future, so going to the future should be no different. Billy would know for sure, of course, but I see no reason at all we can't help. Two teams of Rangers? Those monsters won't know what hit them."

[killedzordon]

Andros honestly wasn't sure how he felt about that. But he also knew that was his own issue with family, and most recently, his relationship with Astronema. But she was right. The rangers were family. Once a ranger, always a ranger.

"Alright. You're right. I'll....give it a chance. Give you a chance." He might have even smiled.

"I'm more concerned with you changing my past. I'm from 1999. It's my present. If you or any of the rangers from the past come in and help, the past could be changed. You're needed where you are. But, what I can do look into reaching out to other rangers, like yourself, in the present." It would be...difficult, but possible. Maybe. If they could get over what happened to Zordon, and if the Space team contacting them didn't blow their own cover. There was no reason why other teams had to have their identities blown just because the Space team revealed themselves. The reporters and fans made living life hard in general.

[speaks_billy]

She gave him a bright smile back. She almost hugged him, but stopped herself. Small victories. She gave a small reluctant nod to what he said about changing the past though, and she considered. "Reaching out to other Rangers in your own time is a great idea. And you know Billy, Kim, and I will come to help. In fact, knowing the year in advance, we can make sure we're all ready when you call."

She gave him another warm smile, feeling happy suddenly.

[killedzordon]

He didn't want to crush her spirit, so he just nodded. Unfortunately, there was no guarantee that the other rangers on Earth still had their powers. When he met his team, they had lost their powers. He wasn't sure if it was t he same for the rest of the earth's previous teams or not. But he couldn't imagine rangers retiring if they still had abilities. At least, that was the way it was on his planet. You were a ranger for life.

[speaks_billy]

That was how she saw it too. So she planned to still have her powers, and if somehow they lost them... she counted on Zordon, Billy, and Alpha to figure something out.

"Good, if we have that part of the plan ready, let's work on the part that gets us all home, okay?"

She felt great. They had a plan, they were going to help.. and he was welcoming them to do so!
