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, Eurus, and now Nidus! 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 home world to a bunch of floating islands.

4. Trouble!: All is quiet and calm when suddenly the warning signals across each of the islands sound. Not long after, or, at least only long enough to get prepared, a large hydra creature crawling out of the lake on Imber. Do what you can to help remove this threat before it gets to any of the other islands!

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

With what's apparently a much earlier form, at least-I knew of the first series duel disk, and the cards of that time.

[au_yusei]

Ah I see. So I'm assuming Standard Duels then. That was something that most Commons indulge in when they are unable to afford Synchro Monsters.

[noasark]

[Uh.

He narrows his eyes.] ....Commons? [Standard, as far as he is aware, is referring to duels that do not have bikes involved.] ...I assume the 'next step up' in dueling would be out of the average man's pocket, thought.

Lyndon had never seen a chair on wheels before, but then again, until quite recently, he'd never seen a flying ship, either. Still, after everything he had seen in recent days, the entire situation the man found himself in was tame to say the least. He, of course, wasn't precisely certain where he was, whether he'd been lost or taken, or why the people here were being so generous, but they were all questions with answers he would most likely find as he went along.

Under normal circumstances, the rogue would simply look the other way, but the boy in the rolling chair seemed as at a loss as he did, and he also looked like he could use a push. Both the camaraderie of being equally lost and the strength to move a boy in a chair were within his power, and so the lithe man with the big crossbow strapped across his back approached, a wry sort of smile on his whiskered lips.

"This place doesn't seem so bad, now, does it, lad?" He cast his eyes around at their surroundings before settling on the boy in the chair, resting his hands on his wide belt before continuing. "Whatever this place is, anyway." He made a motion with his hand as though batting that little problem aside for the moment. "At least nothing's trying to eat us...you know, at the moment." He paused for just a moment, as though letting the temporary silence shift the topic. "My name is Lyndon."

Marie had been at the beach painting when the sea began to bubble and twist in unnatural ways. Instinct moved her and she dropped her brush in lieu of two short blades that she kept hidden in her boots. It was the only reason she continued to wear the brown shoes even when she went to the beach. She'd never fight a human but she's been trained to fight monsters. Her dress wasn't meant for fighting but Marie didn't care.

Her feet sank into the sand as she shifted her weight and darted forward. She slipped close enough to pull herself into the hydra's range, her blades flicking in her palms to lay against the flat of her wrist. She baited the creature, only to sidestep as a head shot towards her, dragging her blade along the side of it's face before stepping a little further back.

[au_yusei]

Commons were the lower rung of society in City, until everything changed thanks to the efforts of some very good people.

[Better people than him, but Jack's shining endorsement of the new King of City, Yuya, was more than enough.]

Some of the Commons were able to build D-Wheels for competing in the Friendship Cup, and progress has worked towards the former Tops, the top of society, aiding the former Commons as well.

[noasark]

[...Well that's extreme. He does nothing more than sigh and adjust his glasses however, shaking his head.] Wonderful, [he mutters sarcastically] so we become even MORE stratified as a society...

...It's good to hear that isn't a permanent matter then.

[au_yusei]

We might not be from the same Dimension however. As I understand it, the world was once one Original Dimension, till a disaster split it into four. Fusion, Synchro, XYZ and Standard Dimensions.

For someone such as I who have been trying to enact change on a small gradual level, it was welcome.

[There was the rub.]

[noasark]

[...............

You broke him. The naga blinks, once. Twice. All four of the snakes on his head are assuredly staring, on that note-]

....They SPLIT into FOUR?

[au_yusei]

As far as I can tell. Four Dimensions, each by specific summoning methods in the game Duel Monsters which is a way of life in our respective Cities: City for Synchro, Heartland for XYZ, Academia for Fusion and Maiami for Standard.

[noasark]

[YOU KNOW WHAT....

He rubs his head. No...no, he's traveled through two different worlds, including one where he lived out his days blending human flesh in a blender for food.

He's not questioning a split into four dimensions.] Which means that was what you meant by 'standard' duels...

...I see Domino never survived then, [he says quietly.]

[au_yusei]

If it helps, I have never heard of "Domino" as a city before. If it was in our past, before the worlds were Four, then I can only imagine that it might have been part of the world before the split.

[Jack shook his head.] Do not worry. It is possible we are from completely separate Dimensions even outside of the former Original Dimension.

[noasark]

Domino was a district of Tokyo, to be fair; it wasn't quite a city on its own so much as a section of it along the coastline.

[And he grimaces.] I would think it doesn't matter anyway, given I died in my original one...

[au_yusei]

City is a fair ways away from Tokyo. It might not be part of it in my Dimension then.

[Mmm what to say about that. He seemed rather frustrated with that.] But you were given a second chance.

[platetectonics]

"That's just dumb," Toph declared, but the weirdness of being on the boat for so long was finally wearing off completely. She dug her toes into the dirt, letting her awareness drift down, and down, and...hit the bottom?

"Whoa," she breathed, looking startled. "It just...stops."

[noasark]

Perhaps, [he hums, not particularly caring one way or another anymore. He merely shrugs, and crosses his arms, glancing over the red and gold scales covering them.] ...I was-but not there, and that's something I've come to accept by now.

I can't go back to where I was born; that's impossible.

[au_yusei]

I see. But, the truth of the matter is that you have a second chance. Even if it is not ideal, you have a second chance to do right by it.

[noasark]

Naturally~

...I'm not entirely certain where stopping a Hydra fits in, but hopefully it's in the better half of things...

[last_decade]

"Ah, again?" asked Tsukasa as he joined Lyndon at the forefront of the battle as he strapped on his buckle. "Seems like this lake has a never-ending supply of Hydra. This makes it, what the fifth one this week?"

The Hydra did not look happy at the sight of Decade once again as he transformed in a flurry of images. Dusting his hands, Tsukasa drew a new card from his deck. "Oi, you," he said to Lyndon. "Keep it busy and then get back. This is going to get interesting as its Time to Operate. Henshin."

KAMEN RIDE: EX-AID!

In a flash of energy, a large graphic appeared behind Tsukasa as the world seemed to turn into large blocky pixels for a moment. Huge square blocks appeared everywhere along with shining symbols, displaying things such as Strength Power Ups, Speed Power Ups, and almost anything one would find in a game. Even Lyndon would be able to recognize some of them as some of them closely resembled "health" and "power items" from his own world of Sanctuary.

Energy flared up as a select screen spun around Tsukasa as Decade reached out and hit the button.

LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME WHATCHA NAME!? I'M A KAMEN RIDER!

Tsukasa changed, but in his place was a short, squat, and chubby sort of man in armor.

"... The hell is this....!"

[last_decade]

"Told you, floating."

He had noticed that her eyes didn't follow the motion and on closer inspection, Tsukasa realized she was blind. But the way she moved was surefooted, too sure for a blind girl. Which meant she had some special ability.

"This place is pretty nice, all things considered."

[element_wizard]

"You're welcome," Alec said, a small smile on his face. "Come on, let's get you out of here. I've got a lot of strong points but holding up shields for other people isn't one."

He gestured towards the outside of the markets.

[blueeyesbond]

[Whaaaat.] Uhm... Synchro Dimension? What's that mean? What city are you from again?

[blueeyesbond]

Yeah... complicated. [He sure bets it's a long and complicated story.]

Not here. I just got here. I was somewhere else for a few months too. [He tilts his head to the side curiously.] What was the place called where you were? [He knows it couldn't have been Cerealia.]

[noasark]

[He nods, if only to confirm-but that's odder news.] Someplace else? [he repeats, narrowing his eyes.] ....I came from Ryslig, [Noa explains.] ...You...weren't there, were you..?

[He said 'a few months'-of course it couldn't have been Ryslig, they'd both be inhuman if that were the case, but the words escape him without thought. The slightest possibility is enough to bring the fear.]

[blueeyesbond]

No, it doesn't sound familiar. I was in a place called Cerealia. They told us aliens had destroyed our worlds and the people who ran the city had saved us a code so they could try and find a way to rebuild our worlds and us again.
