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!

NGHHH....If I could access another form I had, I would, [he finds himself cursing, voice altered heavily by the shape and size he's taken. Even so; while he might not be able to properly move, he at least tries. He thrusts as much of his weight into moving forward as he can, coils practically collapsing around one neck and then the other as he tries to wind parts of his own around them. If he can do this much, he's already immobilized them pretty effectively. Now...]

KGHH....Don't let any of them lose their heads, or we'll find out how close to myth this thing is! [It sure would be upsetting, after all, if they had MORE to deal with. Another bite down, and he tries to send more venom through the thing's system. It's massive after all-so one bite takes a bit to kick in. But if he can get this circulating properly...maybe, assuming it isn't immune, it can just give out.]

[au_yusei]

[Of course. The legend of the Hydra.] Then we will subdue it before it escapes! Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight, grab the other end!

[Jack was grateful his Soul listened to him so well, and responded so eagerly. The Dragon roared a challenge, keeping the other heads at bay even with the other heads starting to lessen in thrashing.]

[noasark]

Gh-

Good! [One more bite down; this would probably be easier if he had some way to administer the venom directly to the heart, but...well, he settles for testing his luck and hoping he finds arteries instead of veins. The hydra is certainly slowing at least-between the bonds and restraints, and the growing concentration of poison in its system, it's probably not going to last much longer.

Also good, Noa thinks-because he's not sure how much longer HE'LL last either.]

[au_yusei]

[It looks like both of them are slowing down, and that was fine. Still, Jack kept a finger on his deck just in case. He had the cards for Double Tuning, but it seemed like the boy had everything in hand.]

Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight, make sure it doesn't run away.

[The Dragon nodded, going over to the pair and gesturing to Noa to release the Hydra so it could take over holding it down.]

[noasark]

[Not a moment too soon. With a gasp, the body of the snake shrinks back down, collapsing onto hands and coils into the naga's original form. This hydra isn't down for the count yet...but he certainly feels he is, and his venom reserves are drained dry.

Still. With determined, sharp eyes, the boy looks up, a few sparks coming off his hands. He probably has one last burst in him...

...if it comes to that...]

[au_yusei]

[Jack will attend to the boy later. For now, the Dragon maneuvers the Hydra into a literal sleeper hold. Without oxygen and venom pumping through its veins, the monster soon passes out in a snoring pile of tangled heads.

Jack shut down the D-Wheel and with it, the Dragon vanished. Getting off, he removed his helmet.]

Boy, are you all right?

[noasark]

Hhhahhhhh....as well as I can be, [he grumbles in reply, groaning as he attempts to 'stand'.] ...It's been...quite a while since I've been in a fight, let alone with something that large...

[au_yusei]

You did well. I was surprised that you could do such a thing, but it helped quite a bit.

[Replacing his deck into his carrying case, Jack held out his hand in greeting.]

Jack Atlas.

[noasark]

Hnn! I'm a 'monster', after all, [he replies, his voice caught somewhere between proud and self-deprecating. He is smiling all the same, somehow, and he meets the hand with his own to shake.] Being able to fight is something I need.

...Noa Kaiba, [he introduces. And then he waits-if this is someone with duel monsters, he's very much ready to shut down any 'THAT KAIBA?' questions, after all.]

[au_yusei]

[Jack only nods, the name not registering to him at all. Different Jack after all, but he smiled.]

A pleasure to meet you Mr. Kaiba. I'm glad you were a help here.

[There was no recognition in his voice. At all. Only one equal to another.]

[noasark]

[.............Mr............ His smile twitches somewhat with amusement, and he shakes his head.] Noa is fine-I'm also still a child, after all, [he chuckles, adjusting his glasses. Astonishingly independent, it's true-but somehow it just feels a little too much to hear a 'mr.' these days.]

You were fairly impressive yourself. I've never seen Solid Vision of that strength.

[au_yusei]

It's called Real Solid Vision. The Solid Vision was adjusted years ago to have Mass introduced into it. So there is also a rudimentary response for the monster as well.

[Jack nodded.] Noa. I'm sure the authorities are coming to pick up the monster.

[noasark]

Hmmnn... [He looks...intrigued, for once. Cards may not be his thing, but the tech potential is actually rather interesting...] I'm impressed it's holding out here; it has an independent engine from the older forms of Solid Vision then? [he asks, sounding less and less like he should be some sort of other worldly monster and more like someone properly involved in the business.

And ah yes. The hydra.] Mnh-should we remain until they arrive then?

[au_yusei]

My D-Wheel. [Jack gestured towards the bike which was cooling down from it's run.] I can generate Real Solid Vision within a large radius.

We should. It would help our reputations.

[noasark]

D-wheel...?

[Wait so he didn't just.

Tack a duel disk on the arm-rest that was

what] ..........You have a solid vision generator...in your bike...

[He's torn between 'wow' and 'why' right now. Leaning toward 'why'.]

[au_yusei]

That's right, it's called a D-Wheel. A Duel Runner in other terms. It's a system for playing Riding Duels, duels of speed and skill on the open road.

It is the ultimate expression of freedom!

[noasark]

[..............................He feels the sudden intense need to murder the elder kaiba-

Wait no that's all the time.] ...I see it wasn't just gameplay they were working on then, [he mutters under his breath after rubbing his forehead a moment.

Though, to be fair, it's a little hard for a snake to ride a motorcycle.]

[au_yusei]

You're familiar with the game then?

[Because people knowing what it is was not uncommon anymore.]

[noasark]

With what's apparently a much earlier form, at least-I knew of the first series duel disk, and the cards of that time.

[au_yusei]

Ah I see. So I'm assuming Standard Duels then. That was something that most Commons indulge in when they are unable to afford Synchro Monsters.

[noasark]

[Uh.

He narrows his eyes.] ....Commons? [Standard, as far as he is aware, is referring to duels that do not have bikes involved.] ...I assume the 'next step up' in dueling would be out of the average man's pocket, thought.

[au_yusei]

Commons were the lower rung of society in City, until everything changed thanks to the efforts of some very good people.

[Better people than him, but Jack's shining endorsement of the new King of City, Yuya, was more than enough.]

Some of the Commons were able to build D-Wheels for competing in the Friendship Cup, and progress has worked towards the former Tops, the top of society, aiding the former Commons as well.

[noasark]

[...Well that's extreme. He does nothing more than sigh and adjust his glasses however, shaking his head.] Wonderful, [he mutters sarcastically] so we become even MORE stratified as a society...

...It's good to hear that isn't a permanent matter then.

[au_yusei]

We might not be from the same Dimension however. As I understand it, the world was once one Original Dimension, till a disaster split it into four. Fusion, Synchro, XYZ and Standard Dimensions.

For someone such as I who have been trying to enact change on a small gradual level, it was welcome.

[There was the rub.]

[noasark]

[...............

You broke him. The naga blinks, once. Twice. All four of the snakes on his head are assuredly staring, on that note-]

....They SPLIT into FOUR?
