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!

"Well... alright, if you insist, Sunset." Twilight said, finally surrendering.

Re: 1

[shimmer_on]

"Trust me, it'll be good for you." Maybe ONCE she'll make Twilight get up and jog with her. Maybe once.

Re: 1

[lyricalfrndshpismagical]

"Heh, I'm sure it is." Twilight said, grinning a bit. She knew it was, but science first!

Re: 1

[shimmer_on]

"Should we go get Spike then so you can move in? I mean, we need to set up your lab extensions in the house," remarked Sunset. "Along with my own..."

Re: 1

[lyricalfrndshpismagical]

"Yes, let's. The sooner we get everything settled in, the better!" Twilight said, nodding.

Re: 1

[shimmer_on]

"Sounds good then. Good thing I paid for the books already." Taking up her bags, she offered one of Twilight's to her while taking her own. "Lets go!"

Re: 1

[lyricalfrndshpismagical]

Twilight took the bag and followed behind Sunset. "Just be careful when you get to my house - it might be something of a death trap. I got a little carried away."

Re: 1

[shimmer_on]

"Twilight just how much did you build?" asked Sunset as she walked backwards to talk to her friend.

[seriesblack]

"Work." Seriously, Ziggy, wasn't it obvious? And Dillon wouldn't agree with him being a total fuck up. There were those shadow puppets, after all.

[oopsimaranger]

Ziggy looked nervous anyway, "Right. I'll work on that. Think you can cover me for today?" He flashed his friend a cherubic smile.

Raven | Teen Titans | Mid-Season 4 (Just post: The Prophecy)

[azrthmtrnznthos]

1--Getting settled

Normally dealing with crowds people was not high on Raven's "Things to do" list. She preferred small groups at best or to be left alone, especially lately. But finding herself on a boat, waking up (when she didn't remember falling asleep or being knocked out) and having any questions given vague answers at best?

Crowds it was, as Raven kept her cowl up, and listened. Keeping her Empathy tightly shielded as she moved through markets and crowds. Maybe she'd get lucky and find a library or town-hall or archive or something. Mostly she was just trying to figure out what matched the 'vague' answers and what didn't. Listening for now, learning the lay of this place.

(Future) Trunks Briefs||Dragon Ball Z || 2 and 4

[light_of_willpower]

2-Islands

Trunks had thought he was used to strange things--considering what his life had been like, and his mother, not to mention his own heritage being 'half-alien'... Glowing sidewalks were new, and he couldn't figure out where the energy for it was coming from. It didn't seem to be based in technology. Then the statues caught his eye--had he heard 'humming' from them? Turning his head, and then another one seemed like it changed size.

What was going on?

4-Trouble

He'd grown up in a world under constant threat of attack--a warning signal was a warning signal, even if this one wasn't one he knew right away. Tensing, taking a moment and trying to figure out a direction. Not away from the trouble, but towards it.

As he gets closer, the threat is rather obvious and big. Well--this'll be fun. Looks like he wasn't alone in going to try and deal with...whateveritwas. Taking a moment to observe, since this was all new territory, before Trunks headed towards one of the heads at a charge.

Almost on cue an arrow came flying past as Thea hopped off a nearby ledge to get a better line of sight. "Hydras are something out of bad movies, not real time!" she quipped as she hopped onto another higher vantage point. She calls,"Aim for the eyes, it works in movies at least!"

Re: Raven | Teen Titans | Mid-Season 4 (Just post: The Prophecy)

[tendershepherd]

Sorey looks up from the recently returned book that had been distracting him when he hears the sound of the door opening. He smiles brightly in greeting before quickly marking his place in the book and closing it. He'll return it to its shelf....soon....but for now there's a potential customer and possibly a new friend.

He studies her for a moment. While he certainly didn't know a lot of people here yet, he feels fairly certain he's at least never seen her around before. Was she a new arrival then? She seems a little lost from where he's sitting. Not one to just leave people who need help alone, he decides to see if he can be of any help to her.

"Hey there!" He greets her from where he's sitting behind the circulation counter, "Can I help you find something?"

[light_of_willpower]

Eyes? Well, eyes he could do and it made sense. Deviating from his forward-charge to dodge to the side, then up--into the air. Oh good, he could still use his ki to fly. That would help as it gave him more room to work with. Hands moving out to his sides, calling more ki to manifest in his palms--a faint blue light--before bringing them together in front of him and aiming a coil-like blast at an eye on one of the serpentine heads.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

It had taken a bit, but Raven had finally found somewhere that seemed to be close to a library, if not a proper library itself.

If nothing else it was quieter than being among the crowds; in more ways than one.

A sigh of relief as she slid in, only opening the door enough to get in and then closing it behind her. The greeting was perhaps a bit more friendly than she was expecting, but--not unexpected really. Looking up at the boy sitting behind the desk, although she didn't smile back. Just made her way over on quiet feet. "Maybe. Directions to the history section would be helpful."

[tendershepherd]

He doesn't mind if she doesn't return the smile. That sort of thing doesn't really bother him, the hopeless ray of sunshine that he is.

Her request almost seems to brighten him up even more. History is, by far, his most favorite subject, so of course he took it upon himself to make it the first section he wants to learn by heart when he started working here.

"You're in luck! It's right this way," he says confidently with excitement as he hops up out of his seat and starts to make his way over to the section a short distance away.

Of course, he glances back to make sure she's actually following and when he gets to the row of shelves for that section he pauses.

"All of these shelves have history books," he says this as he motions to aforementioned shelves with his hands, "Is there a particular book you're looking for? I...kind've don't know all these books by heart yet. But I'm working on it."

[seriesblack]

"Think I can stretch to that." The tone is long-suffering, a wry grin on his face.

Skuld >.>

[manga_goddess_skuld]

The young goddess was riding on Banpei in his bike mode, and nearly ran the other girl over as she stood tall to look above the crowds, never mind how dangerous that seemed at the speed they were going. Her hair was flying behind her in the wind. She pulled up to stop just past the other girl, realzing she almost hit someone.

She hopped off her bike and turned around. "Oh wow, sorry about that I was kind...." her hand had been behind her head sheepishly, other hand held out to shake or offer help, but as she got a good look at the other girl her words got slower and she seemed a bit less sure of herself. "of... in...a... rush..." the last word was almost whispered.

She couldn't help it, the girl looked.... creepy. Almost Demon level creepy, but since Banpei was just wheeling his way over, she knew that wasn't a threat at least. So long as she wasn't a ghost or some sort of monster, Skuld could handle it. right? Right?

2. Please excuse the in-progress rubbish icons.

[im_with_stupid]

Have someone else new to the islands. Well, she had been there about a day. Maybe two. She spent most of it in the Tardis trying to figure out why it brought her here and no one else.

But here she was, no Doctor, no Rory, no River. And the Tardis seemed... wrong. Somehow. So she was doing what companions did best in the absence of the Doctor. Try to figure out what he would be doing if he were there. Of course, this being Amy, trying to DO what he would do if he were there wasn't exactly the game plan. Knowing what he would do just gave her a place to start.

So when she saw someone looking around like he was trying to figure things out, she wondered what the Doctor would do. Probably go up to him, acting like he already knew exactly what was going on, despite having no clue, and start talking until he figured it out.

Good to know.

So now, the question was, what was she actually going to do? She watched him a moment, leaning against a building, legs crossed slightly, arms crossed completely, when she followed his eyeline to the statue. She frowned at it, looked away and when she looked back....

If Amy were the type to curse, she would be cursing then. She pushed off of the wall, eyes locked on the statue as she approached him, closing one eye at a time rather than blinking.

"That statute, only one changing, yeah? Or are there others? If there are, look at them when you answer, not me. And not at their eyes."

Oh great... she was doing what the Doctor would do....

[redarrowqueen]

Thea sends another round of arrows flying into the creature. But the light and him going airborne peaked her interest,"Advantage new guy!" going for a joke to show no harm was meant or hopefully done.

[oopsimaranger]

"Sweet!" He padded along besides his friend, chatting about everything that they pasted. This wasn't an ideal situation but he was happy to have his friend there.

[seriesblack]

Dillon listened, a dry smile on his face. It wasn't bad, Ziggy being here. It could have been a lot worse, and at least it was a face he knew well and knew wasn't just something Venjix planted in his mind. Reassuring, that would be the word. Not that he'd ever tell him that

Nancy | Oliver Twist

[gonetoofar]

1
To Nancy, this place is like… well, she can't help but wonder if it's a dream. Or if she's gone soft in the head somehow, and is hallucinating whilst she rots in a gutter somewhere. Who gives someone a house for nothing, food, drink? It's not real, surely?
Nevertheless, she goes for a wander through the streets of this new place. Used to skulking in the shadows, she keeps close to the buildings, her eyes lowered to the pavement. She's not comfortable, and it shows. It's better by the time she reaches the market, for these at least, she's used to. She's comfortable enough to shove a couple of apples in her pocket when the stall keeper isn't looking, and to tuck a delicately beaded necklace into her shawl when the stall owner's back is turned.

Nancy loves a party. At home, in the Three Cripples, she's been the life and soul of the pub before now, rousing other customers to a song with her bawdy tunes. Here, she sits close to the bar, drinking gin. She drinks hard and fast, the gin straight or weakened a little with plain water. It's the taste she likes, and the looseness it gives her. Slowly, the world is becoming hazier, and faces and voices meld into one.

"It's so bloody brilliant, ain't it?" she slurs to whoever happens to be listening.

Wednesday Addams | Adult Wednesday Addams

[outofthemanor]

1. GETTING SETTLED
Wednesday had opted on going directly to the bookstore, hoping to find some kind of tome on the myths and lore of these islands. She didn't recognize them from any book contained within the vast Addams library, which meant she may be the first of her family to be here. Fortunately there wasn't much sun on this particular day, which suited her pallor much better. Even so, she did walk a little faster than she usually would until she was sheltered within the cool confines of the bookstore.

From there it was simply a case of browsing the shelves. Browsing in her style, that is, which involved intense scrutiny of each and every book spine, and giving the section containing children's fairy tales a wide berth. She never had gotten over her childhood heartbreak of hearing of a knight in shining armor killing a poor, defenseless, dragon.

What kind of person would do such a thing?


2. ISLANDS
She had just been passing by when she overheard - just barely - the nearest statue humming. It was a soft noise, barely there, but her hearing had always been sharper than normal, and it caught her attention. She knew, from being told, that there was strange energy here. A type of magic, really, but it wasn't as something she was as informed about as she would like to be. Grandmama would be disappointed. Wednesday excelled in potions and poisons, but the theoretical side of magical energy had never been her strong point.

She watched, seeing the statue grow just slightly, and tilted her head. A phrase passed her lips, one that was not hers, but perhaps no one would mind her borrowing it.

"Curious."


5. WILD CARD - NETWORK
USERNAME: W.ADDAMS
So I am taken from my home, placed on a flying vessel, and brought to new islands which contain an odd magic in the air. I expect to find human-like hyrids, or some other kind of grotesque. Though I would not be adverse to painful experimentation.
