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!

"Let's find out what it is." He kept his phone off - they were probably better off letting their eyes adjust to the growing dark. He walked slowly and cautiously and the humming grew louder as they got closer to it.

And then there was what looked like a large, gray shape in their way. Trip turned his phone back on and shone it ahead of them. It lit up a statue. "How did that get here?"

It was ginger steps that Padmé took, one small one in front of the other. While she did not expect anything to pop out in front of them, she also hadn't expected to come back to life. Yet here she was.

Shading her eyes for a moment, Padmé blinked owlishly at what he was referring to. "Well. Either on purpose, or not. Given this place, I would go with the latter."

Stephen didn't know where he was, which was a problem but as much as he thoroughly hated not knowing something it wasn't necessarily a big problem. The big problem was that for some reason his sling ring wasn't working, which meant he couldn't leave wherever here was. So not only was he annoyed he was also trapped.

And yes, the strange sort of energy he could feel thrumming about the place certainly didn't help reassure him that this was an altogether safe place. While he was absolutely capable of dealing with danger if necessary it wasn't as if he went around telling people danger was his middle name. Because it wasn't. His middle name was Vincent.

"Alright," he said, glancing around and eyeing a few bubbles rising up from a lake suspiciously before glancing in the direction of what sounded like a party. "I can't say this is the worst welcome I've had to another realm but at least the last time something showed up to great me."

[ooc: Spoilers for Doctor Strange, obviously. Feel free to respond with whatever of the scenarios would work best for your character!]

"So would I." He shone his phone closer to get a better look, but it just appeared to be a humming statue. That was impossible to get round without touching it.

"We can't just leave and can't just stand around looking at it." They could, of course, but Trip wasn't happy with the mystery staying a mystery. So he poked the statue with his phone.

ooc: I'm happy for you to surprise me with what the statue does (or doesn't do) to Trip (or Padmé)

"There are other places we might try," Padmé supplied, frowning slightly in thought. Would they all be like this though? She didn't know but it could have ended up here as a buffer against whatever lay beyond it.

She had been wondering if there was some way to move it if even a little so that they could slip by, when he did poke it. The humming seemed to grow, and grow, and grow, until Padmé could feel it through the tunnels around them, and the statue started to teeter back and forth. "Oh! I don't think it liked that..."

It's the screaming that gets his attention. It would get anyone's attention, really, but it's not that far from him, and then it's followed by repeated words in Spanish, words that express what seems to be the opinion of just about everyone when they first arrive here.

He wouldn't bother if it weren't obviously a child doing the screaming, but a child in distress is something he can't ignore. Then as he gets closer, he notices that she's punching the rocks but sustaining no apparent injury. That's interesting.

He addresses her in Spanish, since that's the one language he knows she knows right now. "There is no getting back. At least not yet." He's not saying it in a cruel tone. Rather it comes across as a message from someone who understands completely the desire to be somewhere other than here.

"HI! I'm Ceilidh! This is Mayhem!" A small child, around six, with a county cork accent speaks up from behind the good doctor. She's holding the fluffiest grey kitten imaginable and beaming up at him. Her hair is an unnaturally brilliant red, her eyes a vivid green and she's wearing a princess pink t-shirt with a pastel pony wearing a crown on it with the words "Princess ponies" on it.

The kitten is then presented for Strange to pet.

Near by is a man with the exact same hair and eye coloring; obviously a relative.

[Canon point for Tony: post-Avengers, pre-IM3]

Tony didn't tend to wander around a lot -- there were far better things he could do with his time than walking -- but there were occasionally times when he had to venture out of his engineering cave. He had made a point of caffeinated himself as a reward/enticement to actually go out, so he was feeling pretty aware of things.

Which was why after he passed by the gentleman in the fancy cape, he abruptly stopped and then backtracked to peer at the guy a little closer. There was something vaguely familiar there, but Tony just could not put his finger on what. Which meant it was time to ask. And not just stare.

"Sorry, have we met?"

Laura punched the ground and then stopped. Her knuckles were stained with blood but as always she healed.

Her thin frame shook as his words pressed against her physice. There is no getting back. He couldn't know that, not unless they tried. They were finally going to be free and then... Laura gritted her teeth to try and stop the rage that filled her small frame.

"North Dakota." She looked back at Erik, her eyes looking more like an animal. "
regresa"

[ Thanks to Jasper Sitwell blabbing, Steve knows HYDRA is after Stephen Strange, but he is just after being fished out of the Potomac by Bucky in TWS so he only knows Stephen's name. ]

Steve's on his usual circuit of the islands, both as exercise and to keep an eye on anything peculiar, well more peculiar than recent events that is, and so he pauses at the sight of someone he hadn't seen before.

"I take it you're new."

Strange gave the child a wary look. Just because something looked cute and harmless didn't mean that it couldn't also practically eat your face. Also, the child might be possessed and be some sort of horrible monster. The kitten certainly was a monster but that was just the nature of most cats.

"Charmed, I'm sure," Strange said, reaching out and shaking the kitten's tiny paw. "I'm Doctor Strange. And is Mayhem the place, the name of your cat, or both?"

He watches, again, as this happens, but still says nothing. It's not an ability that shows up very commonly. But he's not going to comment on it until he has more information.

"You're a long way from North Dakota." Or anywhere else familiar, seeing as she's from a world with North Dakota in it.

It would be impossible for anyone from his realm not to recognize that face, even without Strange's photographic memory. Not only was Stark a billionaire, philanthropist playboy but he was also and Avenger. Perhaps the second most recognizable one, right after the big green one.

"Yes, Bern in 2000. I believe we were both after the same woman. The more important question is... where are we meeting now?"

Tony...did not remember much of Bern. That was probably not much of a surprise, considering. But this was at least someone from home, so he was inclined to be nice. Niceish. He tried.

"This place? It's called Medietas," he said with a vague gesture at their surroundings. "No one knows how we got here or how to get back and it makes no logical sense. Welcome," he added with a lopsided smile.

While Ceilidh is not possessed she still is a horrible little monster. That was only because she was a McCallum. McCallum children are generally horrible monsters. Fortunately they grow out of it.

"Mayhem is Mayhem. This place is Medietas. It's stupid."

As for the kitten... The kitten gives a bit of a meep when his paw is shaken and then yawned... showing off three rows of shark-like teeth.

Well, this was certainly a day. Strange had seen a lot of things lately that were abnormal so seeing Captain America didn't exactly shock him, but he wasn't exactly expecting to see an Avenger here. At least not one that was just running around without anyone chasing him.

"I've been around the block a few times personally but this is definitely the first time I've been here. I think."

"Fortunately for you I specialize in things that make no logical sense," Strange said, returning Stark's smile. He could appreciate Stark's frustration, having been a man of science himself. But since then his world had been... expanded to include the sorts of things that didn't make logic sense.

"Now, if you'll just stand back," Strange said, his cloak flowing out behind him as he began to levitate. He spread his hands out wide and began to use his ring, moving it in circles as... absolutely nothing happened. It only took a moment for him to realize it wasn't going to work and he sank back to the ground. "Usually that doesn't happen..."

Okay, as much of a blur as Bern was, he was pretty sure he wouldn't have forgotten...that. Tony's eyebrows flew up, but he did take the requested step back. He was getting enough practice with weird stuff to know that they definitely shouldn't be interfered with.

Of course, when nothing happened, the eyebrows hiked a bit higher. "What exactly were you aiming for? Because it was a pretty good light show."

Strange peered a bit closer at the kitten, which was very obviously not just an ordinary kitten with a mouth like that. He was very glad that he didn't actually try to pet the thing or he might have had even more problem with his hands and he'd had quite enough of that.

"And I have to say I'm not really a fan of Medietas at the moment either since I can't exactly leave here."

"It's hoooorrriiiibllleee," she said. "I miss my friends and family. There's nice people here but they're not my family."

"He's part goblin and can eat anything," Ceilidh informed Strange seriously when she saw him peering at Mayhem. "His favorite food is magic."

In fact Mayhem has gotten a good sniff of Strange and his cloak and vanishes from Ceilidh's hands to reappear on Strange's shoulder.

"He can also teleport."

Seeing this, the man starts to come over.

Laura glared at him. He wasn't being very helpful and her frustration rose with every second of confusion and anger that twisted inside of her. There was so much rage for someone so young.

She then began to list the name of her friends but unlike when she'd been talking to her father she added his name to the list; James. There was no way of knowing who she was talking about but it was now someone else she wanted to get back to. Yes, he was gone but he wasn't here, the future she paid for with blood wasn't here.

Glare at him all you want, Laura. He's used to it. He's also a master of anger, although he'd been older than she is when anger had first gotten its hold on him. He's not the one who can help her.

"Are you just going to keep beating those rocks up?"

Laura didn't reply to him, not verbally. She ran at him and as she moved her claws extended. She screamed as she attack him, fueling the strike with all of her frustration and rage. Laura had no problems with killing, she understood that it was a burden but she'd do what it took to survive.

Right now Erik looked like her enemy, someone who would keep her here when all she wanted to do was go home.

"Normally that opens up a portal to another location or dimension. Hmmm, worrisome," Strange said with a frown. His cloak still worked so magic was possible here but something was blocking his access to other dimensions. Strange flicked his wrists and his shields appeared, which was a relief. Waving them off he decided to try one last thing.

He slammed his hand down onto the ground as he made the incantation, the world around them shattering like a mirror for a moment before reforming.

"Well, at least most things work properly."

Strange eyed the creature on his shoulder, much more interested in that than the whining child. He'd seen children face much worse than this with much less complaining. For a moment he was worried that the... catblin? Gobat? That the whatever it was would try and eat his cloak.

His cloak seemed to have the same concern though as the high collar batted the thing off of him. Strange conjured a small globe of light and tossed it at Mayhem.

"Here, have a snack."
