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!

"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.

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?"

[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.

[luckyescape]

Freya walked back over to Jyn, shaking off the sand and then wiping the blood from her shoulder and leg. "You know, I really liked this outfit. Oh well, at least that's done with." She looked up at Jyn with a bit of a smile.

"Nice pew-pew-ing. That was fun. I'll probably see you around but I need a shower and to change." She also wanted to check out her leg because it still hurt despite the fact that he shoulder had healed. Freya needed to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong with it that might compliment her rapid healing.

[kestreldawn]

"Understood. Do you -" Jyn notices the wound on her leg as she waits for the end of her blaster to cool enough to tuck back into her trousers, "Is there a med bay we could take you to? Get that looked at and patched up?" She gestures to her leg with her blaster, then raises her eyes to meet Freya's, a hint of concern showing amidst the cooling of adrenaline.

[luckyescape]

Freya rolled her shoulder in a shrug. She didn't look all that concerned. "I got it." It was already healing. Turning in the sand Freya took off inland, her steps light despite the injury. Her fingers ran through her long hair and soft curses could be heard as she walked away.

There was sand everywhere.
