Welcome to Medietas! Do you have an interest in joining the game? Is there an old muse that you want to dust off? Or, perhaps you're 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! 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. 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 and do!

2. Islands: There is definitely some weirdness going on around the islands from the sidewalks that glow to the mysterious energy that doesn't seem to have any direct source. There are statues that hum softly and seem to grow every so often. And what is with these bridges? Go forth and investigate! Puzzles are FUN!

3. PARTY: Every month or so there's always a celebration somewhere, be it on Mulciber, Imber, Mundus, or Eurus! Eat, drink, dance, talk among the other islanders. It's about making new friends and enjoying yourself, right? Even if you have been stolen away from your homeworld to a bunch of floating islands.

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

"Gotcha." His eyes eagerly hunted Henry out of the crowd. He would have to take a moment and say "hi" to the kid later. "Thanks for the endorsement, sheriff." He lifted his glass in a toast to her and took a sip. "Guess that title is off the table here, though," he went on thoughtfully.

[trueloveskid]

"Detective isn't though." What job to get had been the easiest decision to make. It had also been a pretty easy job to get, given her experience. "How long have you been here?"

[unvarnished]

He let out an impressive whistle. Detective was a nice promotion and fit well into her "finding people" background. "Just got here. How about you?"

[trueloveskid]

She's been getting a lot of use out of her investigating skills, too, even if the missing persons case that had taken up so much of the department's time had taken so long for them all to resolve. But in the end they had, and with the help of many people from all around the islands.

"Since April. I was part of the first group to arrive, actually."

[unvarnished]

He nodded, though the time didn't mean much to him. They both knew better than most that time behaved differently in other worlds.

"Anyone else here or is it just us?"

[trueloveskid]

She knows that time works differently here; there are three people now who have left and returned from a different time period, with no memory of having been here before. She's not that worried about that aspect of it.

"Henry, obviously." Since she's just mentioned him. "Gold and Neal too. No one else though." She does hope that her parents might show up sometime though.

[unvarnished]

So at least the people he liked were here. As for Gold... well.. he'd deal with that later. "You, Neal and Henry all together. That's great." And he truly meant that. He messed up pretty badly when he convinced Neal to leave all those years ago.

[trueloveskid]

"Except that Neal came here from before we found him in New York." Which is not August's fault. It just means that things aren't as simple as them all being here together. Which August hopefully is aware of.

"And for some reason, Gold thought you were his son. Why might that have been?"

[unvarnished]

August frowned at that. He wondered if Neal had gotten his postcard yet... Emma reminding him of his trick on Gold made him cringe. "Uh, yeah. I let him think I was Baelfire so he would lower his guard and show me his dagger." And that part of his plan worked. It just hadn't expected the dagger to be worthless.

"I was dying anyway," August shrugged.

[trueloveskid]

"You probably should avoid him for awhile." Even though he doesn't have magic right now, she knows he's still got the capacity to be quite angry. "And you might not want to let Neal know about that trick either." Even though Neal wants nothing to do with his father right now.

"Speaking of. Why aren't you child-sized right now?"

[unvarnished]

Well, obviously he wasn't going to purposefully run into Gold if he could help it. But not telling Neal about it? That one was going to be a little tougher. August would just play it by ear.

He answered Emma's question with a thin-lipped smile. "Because I'm an adult," he said flatly. "Is there something wrong with that?"

[trueloveskid]

"Of course not." She's curious, that's all. "The last time I saw you, you were Pinocchio, and now you're August again. To tell you the truth, I kind of missed August."

[unvarnished]

His smile came back hearing that. "Yeah, I missed August, too. Believe it or not, we have Gold to thank for me being me again. Long story. One you'll have to wait on." Hey, he was still going to play with her a little. It wouldn't be August otherwise.

[trueloveskid]

"Why do I have a hard time believing that one?" She doesn't think he'd lie to her, not about this. But it doesn't match up with what she knows about Gold, especially after what August has just told her about what happened between him and Gold.

[unvarnished]

"Belief has always been a little hard for you," he commented, the look in his eyes assuring her he was just teasing. "He needed me for something, so he brought me back. Pretty simple."

[trueloveskid]

"It's easier for me now." She's seen the Enchanted Forest for herself. It's hard to deny its existence, or that of any other world that sends its villains to their town. "That sounds like the Gold I know."
