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!

"I'm infected," Elena said by way of answering the girl's question about her health. "But I can still think. I'm going to help you, I promise."

She smiled for the girl, but that may not have been as comforting as it was intended. Her teeth were...too large somehow, and looked more like a wild animal's than a human's.

"I'm Elena. I've never seen this place, but I promise to keep you safe. And I keep my promises. Tell me about your father. What does he look like?"

[allineedisyou]

Elena's physical traits were alarming but Grace believed her. She offered the woman a small hopeful smile. "Thank you. My name is Grace." It might be a fleeting emotion but Grace was happy because someone stopped to try and help her find her father.

"He's very tall and has brown curly hair. He was missing before I woke up here. His name is Jefferson." They didn't have a last name.

"Do you really think he's here?" Her voice was soft and yet filled with so much hope.

[hungryzombie]

"It's going to be okay, Grace," she promised. "I don't know if he's here, but if he is, we'll find him. But first, we need to get you somewhere safe." Sure, this place looks like a pre-infection town, but...that just means there's no preparations to be made. The dead will come, Elena figures.

"Let's find a nice, fortified building to set up in. Do you have something to protect yourself with?" Giving a gun to a child this small was a terrible idea. But if the shamblers got close enough to her to use a melee weapon, she was dead anyway. Hiding didn't work on enemies that hunted by smell... no, Elena had a pocket knife she could give to the girl. It wouldn't help her, but it might make her feel safer.

Of course, all that thought was built on the idea that the dead would come. Elena's new here too, and doesn't realize that the only zombie here is...her.

Grace shook her head. "No but I'm a really good hider and a really good sniffer." She'd been able to hunt mushrooms in the forest for her father. She wasn't a fighter and she didn't know how to use a knife outside of cooking.

"Is it really not safe here? Everyone seems so happy." Relatively but more so than they had in the Enchanted forest.

[hungryzombie]

"They do seem happy, right now," she agreed. Had they really been able to keep this place that isolated that people didn't even know about the virus? Somebody missed new arrival orientation, mostly in the hurry to get the hell out of an overly populated area.

"I want to make sure they stay safe and happy. And that you do, too. Having someplace safe to stay is the first thing you should always do when you're somewhere new."

[allineedisyou]

Grace had never been outside of the enchanted forest. She nodded her head before turning to look at everything around her.

"They said that they gave us a house. Why don't we go there?"

[hungryzombie]

"Did they?" She frowned. Maybe running off right away hadn't been the best idea. "Sounds like you know more than I do right now, Miss Grace. Did they tell you where that house is? Or, if you can show me the people who told you that, I can ask them a few things and get us somewhere safe."

[allineedisyou]

Grace turned and pointed back towards the dock. "There was a nice woman who gave me a thing called a phone. She said it would lead me home and help me call people here." Though she still wasn't 100% sure how it worked.

[hungryzombie]

"Yeah, they handed me one before I ran off." She sighed, digging into her pocket. "Let's see what there is to see..." The phone wasn't really designed to be used with her overgrown claws, but a ribbon dangling from the side allowed her to tug out a stylus. Handy!

She turned the phone on, and started using the stylus to scroll the network and query information. "I know how to use phones, I can probably get us a map and some basic information... This place is so strange..."
