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!

You have one of those too? Mine is going crazy. Wait, did you say killer bunnies? Like Bugs?

The weird-o-meter has its moments of running off the charts! [But Ed's grinning.]

Killer bunnies a la someones backfired science project from what the stories have been. Complete with venom that made people relive their nightmares.

Oh..... yeah I got nothing for that. Alert the media.... I am speechless. Wait, you don't work for the media do you, because that would be all levels of bad.

[radical_hacker]

Nope, just a lowly little IT girl. But in my real time Ed's a cowboy, what we call bounty hunters, along with working as a hacker.

There is nothing low about us sweetness. We are Goddess' right?

Re: Penelope Garcia | Criminal Minds | Post 12:4

[radical_hacker]

We are! [Cue smile from Ed.] We may be from different worlds but our computers are the link. [She spins her device around to show off Tomato.]

[superiorgenius]

Ooooh Nice! I left my babies back home. [she looks devastated ]

Sorry. How long have you been here Ed?

[inbedbynine]

He looks surprised. "Oh yes," he said, "I actually was assigned to Agent Carter by your....father back in 1946. We had several adventures together."

[tript]

"My mother always brought me up to be a gentleman." Not that she'd ever thought he'd be escorting a woman to drains. For one thing, she'd probably thought he'd grow out of getting into trouble one day.

"I haven't mapped out the whole place yet, so I will follow your lead." There was a definite twinkle in his eye as he gave her a small bow.

[buildsomething]

Tony blinked before giving him a slightly bemused smile. "You never told me that."

[needstoknow]

Oh, no! That is not at all my doing. It was already in existence before I arrived here. I just joined it.

[Although there had been some words with Derek, who certainly had not wanted her to work there. Teach at the school... She liked kids, surely, but teaching had never crossed her mind.

Emily did pause though.]

Morgan's here to. He was here before me, actually.

[And now that she thinks about it... It is hard to gauge when Garcia is from. She doesn't look at her like Derek did when she first arrived, like she was back from the dead... That will be a whole new bag of treats to ope there.]

[democratically]

Padmé had that very thought, and the twist of her lips might well have given that away. After all, they were about to go gallivanting about in a place where who knew what was there. Yet, it certainly wasn't something new for Padmé. She had tossed everything aside to go and rescue Obi-Wan with Anakin before, to mention just one of the times.

"I suppose I could lead you astray... Although that would hardly be polite." Yet she tilted her head a little. "It is a bit of a walk. Do let me know if your injuries trouble you in any way."

[luckyescape]

If Freya could hear Jyn, she'd be proud to be called a lunatic and probably brush off the statement at the same time. She wasn't human and the basic self preservation of humans didn't really click with Freya. It used too. In the past Freya had been all about herself but that had recently changed.

She clapped a bit when Jyn's weapon hit the creatures eyes. That was two down. Not too hard though Freya was a little distracted by the fact that the gun went pew pew. She was pretty sure that that only happened in video games.

Freya saw the two mean who where currently standing and watching the show. That was stupid. The head was falling towards them though it only looking like one of them men was in the way. Ignoring the fact that there were heads now aiming to strike at her, Freya took off. One of the Hyrda's jaws managed to clip her shoulder but Freya used the momentum to send her forward. She grabbed the man and pulled him four feet back while face planting in the sand. When the Hydra's head smacked against the ground it sent a shower of sand over all three of them.

They were now all buried in sand and while the Hyrda's necks were a bit tangled thanks to Freya, it was still pissed and moving forward to strike.

[kestreldawn]

Jyn covers her eyes with her arm as she feels the quake under her feet, anticipates the shower of coarse sand. After blinking to regain her balance and her awareness, she sees Freya and the men, lodged in the sand. She mutters a few choice words under her breath before calculating the odds - the best approach of getting them all out to safety while also avoiding death herself at the jaws of this creature.

They were tangled enough that Jyn could come in, stay on the defensive with her blaster, aid in digging them out. It would be close, she knows, but it should be enough. And those are better odds than she's used to.

She makes a mad dash towards the three of them, eyes oscillating between their wriggling bodies and the enraged heads remaining. She counts: four. There are four heads left; between she and Freya .. they should be able to secure a victory. As she reaches them, she falls to her knees and uses her momentum to slide herself forward in the sand, one hand furiously digging at the dune that trapped them, the other clutching her pistol.

One of the remaining heads rears, stretches open its jaws, and the heat of it makes Jyn squint, shield her face. She takes the opportunity to point her blaster directly into the back of the creature's throat and expel three quick shots in rapid succession - pew pew pew - causing the head to snap back, unable to screech properly, lifeless at the end of a rope-like neck.

"Three left," she says, finding Freya's gaze, continuing to dig them out.

[luckyescape]

Freya helped dig herself out and she was cursing just as much as Jyn was. "This is why you get the fuck out of the way. I now have sand everywhere saving your stupid pale ass." She tugged with her arm and pulled the man out of the sand next to her, tossing him a foot or so away. "Damn it, I have sand everywhere now!"

She rubbed at her eyes and then at her hair. Her right shoulder was covered in a caked paste of blood and sand thanks to one of the heads and Freya was just annoyed.

"Okay." She turned towards Jyn feeling uncomfortable. "Do you have a plan because it is super hard to think pass all the places that I have sand right now." She really wanted to jump into the water or something.

[kestreldawn]

Jyn catapults a very terse but comprehensively deathly glare towards the men, who are scrambling to get themselves away from the shore. One tosses a very casual word of gratitude towards Freya, to which Jyn responds with a less-than-subtle roll of her eyes.

"Charming."

She forces her attention back to the beast, readjusts, recalculates.

"Three heads, between the two of us. I don't have a second blaster, but -" She retrieves the truncheons that had been nestled against her back. Presses the button on each handle to extend them out to be about two feet in length. "You seem to be more than capable with close-range combat," she adds, shooting a warning shot towards one of the remaining triad. "You can deal with the mess of sand after we've cleared the area, secured it. Gotten rid of this thing."

[luckyescape]

"Yeah, my aim is currently a work in progress. I'll end up hurting you and myself if I try that. So I'll stick with a stick." She smiled and took the truncheon. It felt cool and she had a feeling she'd lose it, just in case she made a mental note to make Jyn another one.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." She grumbled while rising to her feet. "Okay, I'm going right. I'm going to try and draw their attention by doing something super stupid. So you keep shooting their eyes or mouths if they happen to open because they're probably be about to eat me." Which Freya didn't want to happen.

Holding the baton in one hand she popped onto the pads of her feet. When she moved she did so at impossible speeds, moving like an animal that was hunting and less like a girl. She used the dead neck to climb up and land on the creatures back. She then rocked her weight forward, stabbing the baton down and into the body of the creature. The head's roared, it was pissed, and as Freya promised it was stupid.

She also now had it's attention.

A head snapped forward and Freya jumped, just in time to land on it's nose. She then kicked it in the eye, causing it to rear it's head up, sending Freya into the air.

[kestreldawn]

Jyn offers a very vague smile, something to symbolize solidarity, camaraderie - or at least something very close. She nods, allowing the woman room to do whatever it is that she does (Jyn makes a mental note to ask her about it after the area is secure). She moves at incredible speeds, far faster than any humanoid creature Jyn's experienced in her life. She wonders, then, if perhaps Freya isn't all that human to begin with ..

The screech of anger snaps her out of her thoughts, her feet digging into the sand as she positions herself, varying her glance from the beast to the direction in which she was running. The kick to the eye is all the opportunity Jyn needs, quickly aiming and firing off a handful of bolts one after the other. The last one misses as the creature rears its head back, but the others had done enough damage - the eye is a goner.

As it opens its mouth to let out its mournful howl, Jyn lets off another volley of bolts into the gaping hole. It falls as the other had, a dead weight at the end of a rope.

[luckyescape]

There were two more heads left and Freya realized that there wasn't all that much she could do while falling. She had miscalculated this part. She turned in midair, which was much harder than it looked, and watched as a pair of jaws parted. Freya would like to state for the record, that looking down their throats was really gross.

She reached out and grabbed the things teeth to try and stop it from swallowing her. It's lower jaw sank into her right leg but she swallowed the cry. It'll heal.

"HEY! PLEASE SHOOT THIS THING!" Freya shouted but she didn't know if Jyn could hear her. Either way her focus was on not getting eaten and as strong as she was, she couldn't hold it's jaw open forever.

[kestreldawn]

Jyn's at a disadvantage - she can see the precarious situation Freya's about to get herself into, her body lofted in the air with nothing to catch her underneath, but there's not much Jyn herself can do about it. It isn't as though she has the incredible speed Freya has, even if she had the strength required to catch her safely.

The most she can do is ready her blaster, wait for the opportune moment to strike - hope that it doesn't end up in the untimely and unfortunate death of the unsuspecting blonde who'd swept in to show the creature a thing or two.

Freya's words pierce Jyn's ears, and in an instant, she lets loose a series of shots in the creature's eye, sprinting to get to a different angle to allow herself to attack the roof of the head's mouth. She's a good enough shot that she isn't worried about accidentally striking Freya; she's never once hit a civilian in all her years of war. She has no intention of starting now.

She manages to land one shot inside the creature's mouth, causing it to fall forward, lifeless like its siblings.

"One left," she mutters, racing back in closer. Once within range, she scrambles her way up one of the vanquished heads and reaches Freya. "Surviving?"

[thescoundrel]

Lyndon watched the boy for a moment, weighing his words. He couldn't exactly argue with them, being just as new as Bran of the Rolling Chair. He gave a look around to the milling crowd for a few moments before looking back to the boy, rolling his shoulder in a shrug and adjusting the strap of his large crossbow across his shoulders.

"I don't see anyone else with a rolling chair, Brandon of House Stark, but I may not be seeing things as you are." He smiles, rolling with it. "So, shall we explore this new world separate or together?"

[luckyescape]

Freya couldn't really see everything that was happening but she felt the rush of wind and then the hard impact with the ground. One left, that sounded okay. Her leg burned but she felt it slowly healing just like her shoulder had. The things teeth had pierced her skin but her bones don't feel broken.

"I'm good." She pushed her hair back, her chin tilting up to look at the last one. "It's freaking out. Should I play bait again or do you just want to shoot it from here? I'm pretty sure it's about to-" Before Freya finished speaking the head charged at them. "Yup."

She could move quickly if she needed to but she wouldn't leave Jyn's side. If anything she'd pull the girl with her but she wanted to give her time to shoot it.

[kestreldawn]

If there's one thing Jyn's noticed, aside from Freya's speed, it's her resilience. Such a trait automatically earns a certain level of respect from the battered war veteran, and there's a quiet, simple nod in Freya's direction to indicate the sentiment. She won't give voice to it - not yet, perhaps not ever - but she knows that, if there's ever another incident threatening the world, Freya will be high up on her list of people to recruit.

"Might as well," she says, raising the blaster to quickly line up the shot. It almost feels as though she's waiting too long, delaying too much - but it's all a part of her approach. She doesn't want to risk the dead weight falling on top of them when it's killed, so she waits for the right moment to strike, one that will allow them enough breathing room to not have to worry about being flattened.

Seemingly at the last moment, Jyn squeezes the trigger of her blaster and pew, pew, two shots are fired - first one eye, then the other. With a dying shriek, the lifeless head falls onto the beach, sending a tidal wave of sand back from the shore. She lowers her weapon, then glances over to Freya, extending a hand to lift her off of the ground.

Edwin looked surprised. "Well I suppose it wasn't a wise idea to tell a child stories like that," he admitted, "things did get...strange."

[buildsomething]

"And somehow everyone found plenty of time to tell me all about Captain America," Tony said with heavy irony. At leat that had been more Peggy and Howard, but still.
