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!

[Being this close to the ocean is something entirely new to him.

Kurt's enjoying the warmth of the sunlight, the heat of the sand beneath his feet, broken only by the occasional wave that washes over his toes. He's awestruck by the blue of the water, the scent of the sea air swirling around him, giving everything that faint, salty tang.

Hesitating in his languid stroll along the shoreline, he tips his head to look up at the sky and settles his hands behind his back, fingers lacing together at the base of his tail. It's been a short amount of time since he's arrived here. While he misses his home and his friends, he has to admit that standing here, on this beach with only the crashing waves to keep him company, it's peaceful.

He's enjoying it, regardless of the disadvantage of it not being his actual home. Perhaps, if his fellow teammates or even some of his teachers were around, it would be more comfortable.

A wistful sigh passes his lips and he continues walking, the spade of his tail flicking out to graze over the surface of the water every now and then.]

[frankensteinian]

[It's not uncommon for him to go for walks on various of the islands. He doesn't go on Imber as often, because he doesn't live or work there, but sometimes he wants something a little different. Which is why today he's on the beach. He's crossed a few oceans, more than once, but never really took much time to look at them. Not that this beach compares in any way to what's back in his world.

The first thing he notices is Kurt. Kurt's hard to miss. He knows that there are people here from places that are not his world, but something tells him that Kurt is. He doesn't have Charles' ability to detect mutants, but he's picked up a few tricks along the way.]

Nice day for it.

[Every day here is a nice day.]

[shadowblends]

[The water and sand have done enough to keep his attention and at first, he thinks the voice is a figment of his imagination.

Still, he draws his head up and glances toward Erik, iridescent eyes blinking in bewilderment. The last time he had seen the man was when he had left the school, headed off to only God knows where, leaving most - if not all - of them to wonder if he would ever show up again.

He turns to face him, the end of his tail flicking water droplets across the sand with a wide grin.] Fancy meeting you here, mister Lehnsherr!

[frankensteinian]

[Well that answers that question. The one about Kurt being a mutant, at least. How Kurt knows him is another question. It probably won't be the last.]

I've been here a couple of months now. And you are?

[shadowblends]

[His brow furrows at the question, nose wrinkling in confusion toward Erik. How could he not know him?]

Is this where you came when you left the school? I ... I'm Kurt. Kurt Wagner. [A pause.] Nightcrawler?

[frankensteinian]

I haven't been to a school. [Not recently, anyway. All he knows about a school is that Charles used to talk about turning his house into one. A real one, not like the training they did for their mission with the CIA.]

Did Charles start his school, then?

[shadowblends]

Ah, but you-- [He stops, lips pressing into a thin line, eyes narrowing with skepticism, but Erik looks absolutely serious.]

... ja, he did. I am one of his students.

[frankensteinian]

Not everyone comes here from the same point in time. [Which he knows because apparently he and Charles hadn't.] Or even from the same universe. There are other mutants here, but they're from a different version of our world than we are.

[electro_kinetic]

[ Noriko is not walking. She is in fact swimming, gauntlets shucked along with her shirt and shorts on a towel; Nori is shortly coming out of the water, and honestly at first doesn't notice Kurt: weird-looking people are normal to her.

That said, he is kind of between her and her clothes, and so she has to at least acknowledge him, lifting a hand as she squeezes water out of her hair. Not much without her gauntlets marks her as a mutant; her forearms are heavily scarred, yes, but that's not indicative of much aside from having been burned, and blue hair dye is available widely. But her glowing like she's been lit from the inside sort of does mark her as abnormal. ] Hey. You new?

[ She'd like to think she'd notice someone that blue hanging around. ]

[shadowblends]

[Unsurprisingly, Kurt is completely lost to his own thoughts, so it's no big deal when he doesn't automatically notice Noriko in the water, right?

He does see the towel with the clothes on it and that's what makes him look up, golden irises scanning the area until he sees her standing there. At first, he says nothing - attention focused solely on the scars that litter her arms; he should not be staring, but he can't help that he's curious, considering he is covered in his own markings. They are different in his case, of course.

Is she ... glowing? Well, that definitely makes him wonder if she's a mutant or not. Maybe they can share tips on how to keep the blue in their hair longer?

It takes him a moment to register that she's speaking to him and he winces his eyes shut, shakes his head then brings his gaze to her face once more.] Ja, I am.

[electro_kinetic]

[ Yeah, she glows. It's kind of cool to her sometimes, unless she has a headache, in which case she's really glad sleep masks exist. Noriko smiles, obviously at ease with his appearance and their surroundings. Worse things could happen and all. She takes him in, making no effort to hide the appraisal--though her version of it is distinctly lacking in malice--and jerks her chin in greeting, acceptance even. ]

Nice hair.

[ Forgive her if she stands there to talk in an eye-searingly yellow and barely-there bikini; it's warm and sunny and she's not going to put on overclothes until she's a little more dry. ]

[shadowblends]

[How fantastic! He hasn't exactly met someone that glows like she does, so he can't help the urge to let his gaze momentarily linger. The fact that she hasn't turned and ran at the sight of him is also a plus in his book, since most people take one look at him and respond that way. Or, they try and fight him. Kurt blinks, raises a hand to his dual-toned bangs and flashes sharp canines in a grin.]

Thank you!

[Thank goodness, he's extremely considerate and keeps his gaze on her face, even though it doesn't keep his cheeks from flushing slightly. Perhaps, he will feel less awkward if he continues to make conversation.] What's your name, miss?

[electro_kinetic]

[ She snorts once when he blushes; for all that he looks alike to the Kurt Wagner she knows there are some subtle differences, lacking fur and actually having irises being a major two. Being way young is another, but that she can't really hold against him. ] It's Nori. Ashida Noriko. And you don't have to call me miss.

[ She's pretty okay with him not. ] What about yours, boy blue?

[shadowblends]

[He opens his mouth to say the word again, hesitates then glances out at the ocean, fangs gleaming in a broad smile when he turns back to her.] Nice to meet you, Noriko.

[Kurt will have to remember to avoid using it, then. It's odd, but he's got a thing with calling ladies 'miss'.] My name is Kurt Wagner!

[electro_kinetic]

Then guten tag, Kurt Wagner. [ Another familiar name, without a familiar face. Noriko is beginning to wonder if anybody except herself and Remy are from the same place or time, but while she sighs just a bit, not much of it makes it through her expression. ]

Do you have another name? [ Nori would offer her hand, except that doing so would probably shock him at least a little, and she doesn't want to do that. So she sidesteps him and slips on her gauntlets, latching them to the locking ring at her elbow before she offers a sun-warmed hand. ]

[magneticxman]

Lorna was enjoying the sunshine with her new baby. They were both pretty tired still, so she was standing in the water up to her ankles, wiggling her toes in the sand. Erika was asleep in her blanket, one fist in her mouth. Lorna wrote a serene smile, which didn't eager when she looked over and saw Kurt. "Oh, hello!"

[shadowblends]

There's a hesitation in his movements and he brings his attention up from his feet, glancing toward the woman standing in the water first then to the nearby bundle. Was that ... a baby? Kurt shook his head, returning his gaze back to Lorna and letting a small smile come across his face. "Hallo, miss."

[magneticxman]

Lorna moved closer and used her powers to draw Erika close. Once the baby was in her arms Lorna closed the distance between herself and Kurt. "Oh my gosh you're so young! You are Kurt Wagner, right?"

[shadowblends]

His brow furrowed at that, head tipping to the side in confusion; he was young, considering some of the other mutants he knew, but how did she know his name? She didn't look familiar.

Curiosity got the better of him though and he couldn't help the urge to barely lean closer to see the small child. He smiled gently, bringing his attention back to Lorna, "Ja, I am, but ... how do you know me?"

[magneticxman]

Lorna held Erika out a little so Kurt could properly admire her. Why wouldn't he wasn't to see the most perfect baby in existence?

"Um, well, I know an older version of you. We were x men together."

[shadowblends]

And admire her he does. Kurt tentatively bent closer, his grin widening at the adorable sleeping bundle in Lorna's arms. "She is beautiful."

He's tempted to ask if he can hold her, but he'd only just met the two of them, even though the woman mentioned being fellow teammates. "Really? So, I stayed with the X-Men as I got older?"

[Charles was still looking down at his legs as if they would suddenly disappear. In some ways he was afraid he was dreaming and he would suddenly wake up and he would be sitting in that blasted chair once again. The chair he had gotten used to and now it was like learning how to walk all over again.

He spotted a familiar blue man, smiling he stepped up next to him. ]

Hello Kurt, beautiful isn't it?

[shadowblends]

[He had stopped at the edge of the water again, watching the swell of the tide wash over his feet before it receded once more. Kurt didn't look over right away - simply nodded his head in agreement to whoever had decided to join him.]

It is, ja.

[Wait. The person had said his name. He glanced from the corner of his eye and stiffened when it was someone he recognized.] P-Professor?

[The shock was obvious in his voice - both at the sight of someone he knew and the fact that the telepath was ... well, standing there.]

[protectsthosewithout]

[ Charles smiled and placed a hand gently on his shoulder. ]

It's me, Kurt. I've met someone here who can apparently do the impossible. I can understand though why it would shock you. The last time I saw you I was in a sorry state wasn't I?

[shadowblends]

[He briefly glanced at the hand now resting on his shoulder, blinking in a rather deliberate fashion. Before he could stop himself, he shifted to draw Charles into an embrace, doing his best to not start shaking.

Someone who actually knew who he was.] We were all rather roughed up at the time.

[He stood there a moment then noticed how this was probably awkward, cleared his throat and pulled away, cheeks a vivid shade of indigo, but there was no denying the brilliance of his smile.] I cannot express how thrilled I am to see you.

[Okay, he could, but he felt like screeching for joy at the top of his lungs would ruin the serenity of their surroundings.]
