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!

"Not seen anything yet." It's an honest answer, if a little vague.

It's a thing. Get used to it.

[Luckily she can give as good as she gets.]

Wow, what a charmer. Talk like that to all the ladies or an I special?

Asuna Yuuki | Sword Art Online (New Game Mechanics AU)

[stayed_solo]

A) Arrival

Asuna looked a little lost as she arrived on the boat, her face still hidden under her red cloak. This certainly didn't look like the next floor that opened up. Granted she had just heard rumors about it and finally made her way to it. Seeing all of the NPCs and PCs walking around in clothes decidedly not from SAO. Of course, she could just be unsure of what's going on and how they look here. Right now, it was time for answers and maybe start working on getting stronger. Maybe work on those spells she's obtained...

B) Communicators

Oh, a new chat program! Didn't expect this to be here, but I got my own program to use. Either way, it's nice to meet all of you. My name's Asuna and I'm looking for information on this floor's boss and if anyone's beaten it yet. I prefer to work by myself, but I wouldn't mind some help...

Leafa had been here for a while, and while she preferred looking "normal" as in Suguha, she also wanted to get used to walking around as Leafa.

She was looking about before noticing a certain red cloak. It looked familiar and approaching the lost looking woman who had just gotten off the boat, she raised a hand. "Hi, you new?"

[stayed_solo]

"Huh?" Asuna turned to face Leafa, blinking in surprise. Calming down, she nodded at her. "Yeah, I'm new. At least new to this floor." She said, smiling. "I'm Asuna. I'm looking for information about this place."

[leafheld]

"Well info I can give but this isn't a floor or anything like tha--" That face! Leafa blinked in surprise, there was a few differences but... "Asuna? Is that you?"

Considering Leafa had never seen her IRL before, the difference between features was close but huh...

[stayed_solo]

Asuna blinked as she pulled down the hood of her cloak, confused. "Have... have we met?" She asked. She wasn't certain she met this girl before and yet there was the nagging suspicion she had.

[leafheld]

"Y-yeah, I guess... huh. We're friends, or at least I think we will be? Different world or different timeline, I'm not too sure. I'm Leafa, at least my game-name is."

Rubbing her head, Leafa sighed. "This place, floor, whatever you want to call it, it draws in people from all over the multiverse, so I might be from a different world than the one you know."

[stayed_solo]

"Leafa... Leafa! Oh, I remember you! One of the Outlyers!" Asuna said, smiling widely. "Oh, ah... where I'm from, you're one of those who could still log out from the game...!"

And as for what she said about this world... "The multiverse? Really? And here I thought what I was stuck in was bad."

[leafheld]

"Ah, yeah, where I come from I can't log out, well, kinda. It's complicated. Basically my situation is one of those "really in the game" sort of things. I'll explain all about Elder Tale later." said Leafa, relieved that in some world she could still log out.

"Yeah, it's weird. I mean, I'm glad I didn't come here without powers, and stuff, but I miss my guild and everything."

[stayed_solo]

Asuna shook her head at Leafa missing her guild. "Honestly, I couldn't take being in a guild. Mostly because I've been soured by one person's interactions..."

[leafheld]

"Believe me, being in a guild is great where I come from, but yeah there's a lot of stupid people. There's this really dumb solo player back home who tried to solo a area boss at level 45. It was a lv 80 mob." Snickered Leafa. "What a dope!"

[stayed_solo]

Asuna laughed at that. She could see that happening, especially with so many who could log out of the game without the worry of dying. "Now that's the sign of someone who is a bit too confident!" She said, smiling. "Though, I have to admit, I'm guilty of an action or two like that."

[leafheld]

"Yeah, the you I know back home has a bit of a reckless streak to be honest. But then again, you're a higher level than I am." Leafa shrugged a little with a grin. "So I take it you're from a world where you can't log out?"

[stayed_solo]

"Heh, at least some things don't change...!" Asuna said, laughing. "But, yeah, I am. But, it was so weird. It seemed that it was meant to be a massive number of us trapped, but it's only a low number." She shrugged a bit. "I mean, yeah, 10,000 isn't that small at all, but it seemed that the one who trapped us in the game was meant to capture millions."

She chuckled a bit as she added. "I guess that's what happens when everyone tells you to delete a certain program and you don't..."

[leafheld]

"That sounds like a grave miscalculation," mused Leafa with a shake of her head. "It doesn't sound like they planned for your game to be running in that capacity."

"The Apocalypse, or at least what we're calling it, was the event that brought thousands of people to the world of Elder Tale. I was logged in when the expansion went live, and I found myself in the city of Akibahara. The rest was mostly me getting used to the world."

[stayed_solo]

"I think a lot of us is trying to get used to our situation... at least until someone hits all of the floors and beats the entire thing." Asuna said. "Though, by the sounds of it, I'm safe here..."

[leafheld]

"Yeah, you're pretty safe here all things considered. The islands just came down out of the air which was kind of awesome all things considered, but having real beachfront property is probably the best thing ever."

Leafa grinned a little as she added, "I suppose since you're here I can introduce myself in a IRL fashion. Suguha Kirigaya. Nice to meet you again Asuna."

[stayed_solo]

Asuna laughed a bit as she nodded. "Asuna Yuuki. I know, I'm original with names. Yay, me." She said, laughing again. "Though, I wonder about how much of game me is still intact..."

[leafheld]

"People tend to have pretty much everything from where and when you arrive," said Leafa, tabbing in front of herself and bringing up the status screen for Asuna to see.

"It probably looks a lot different than what you're used to at least. I have stuff like my friend list and my inventory here in my magic bag, and all of my abilities as a swashbuckler."

[stayed_solo]

"Wow... yours looks a lot better than mine!" Asuna said, bringing up her own menu, which looks a bit haphazardly put together. "You can see where some don't fit. That's because they had to quickly overhaul the game... or at least, that's what my brother said."

[oopsimaranger]

Yeah you know.

[He expands his fingers as if to show eyes at least 20 times larger than his. He wished he had something to doodle with.]

[oopsimaranger]

"Ahhh." Ziggy didn't look like he was particularly filled with confidence.

"So you're saying... we're stuck and we don't know what's going on." He paused. "Great. Just great." He was clearly not happy about it.

"So what? We have all the time in the world. Just doing whatever we want until something attacks." Another pause. "I guess that isn't much different from normal." He flicked his lollipop in his mouth. "At least they have candy. And you know, I could get used to a place without super robots but do they have pizza or smoothies or... you know, important stuff."

They had a candy store which was the most important.

[blindpuppet]

Enis shook her head. "I don't have a preference." Talk or not, she'd listen, it's just how she was.

"I'll try and think of something." She paused before turning to head back to the music store. "Let's go."
