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!

Kamala Khan | Ms Marvel

[ms_perfection]

[5 Wild Card]
This is Medietas. My new "home" so to speak.

Not like I have a home to go back to, if I was to be all honest.

My name, is Kamala Khan, I'm a Inhuman, and I guess this is my new life now: kicking and punching bad guys on an island that has minimal amounts of crime from day to day. With my world coming to an end, I guess I should be grateful something plucked me from the jaws of, well, ending.

But people are the same no matter where you go. Look at these guys, trying to break into a building. Not on my watch. First, Superhero Landing.

With a thud, Ms Marvel slammed to the ground, knee bent, fist down as the thieves whirled on her. "Hey, didn't anyone tell you guys that stealing is wrong?" she quipped before embiggening one of her hands and ramming it into a still-surprised man.

Oh yeah, nailed it. WHOA!

Dodging backwards from the thrown knives, Kamala leaped up and brought down her foot in a drop kick, accelerating her mass as she did so. The fight was short and while Kamala nursed a bit of a nick on her arm, the men were down and the contents of their packs rummaged momentarily.

"I'll just leave you losers for the police," said Kamala smugly as she embiggened and leaped away after tying them up with some rope she had found in their packs.

Anyway, this is my life now. Ms. Marvel, champion of the floating isles. has a nice ring to it I suppose.

Landing a block away, she sighed as she sat down on a nearby rooftop. "Well, I suppose this is easier than keeping Jersey's streets clean."

[2. Islands]
Looking around Nidus proved to be enlightening, with all of these fancy ships, houses and buildings everywhere. Some familiar like Avengers Tower, some not like the weird and terrifying maze.

It was here that Kamala was wandering around aimlessly, poking her head into shops and checking places out. If you're a shopkeeper, maybe help her out when she's running around your place? And if you're a semi-familiar face, she'll wave at you.

One of the shops that Kamala would have poked her head into would be Steve Roger's Patriot Portraits.

And the man himself is in the main area of the gallery, doing a painting for the walls. This one is of the Brooklyn Bridge in the daytime, the sky that perfect blue seen in the fall, and a ferry from the 30s skimming across the water.

Steve notices Kamala, and sets his paint brush down, standing up as he wipes his hands on a paint-streaked rag. He was dressed in a t-shirt and jeans today, his button-down shirt tossed over the back of his chair.

"Hello. May I help you?"

Re: 2

[ms_perfection]

"Oh uh yeah, I'm new here and kinda looking around," said Kamala, stepping inside and taking a moment to blink at Steve. He looked kinda like Chris Evans? But not? Like way more buff than she expected but...

"Oh, I'm being rude. I'm Kamala Khan. Nice to meet you." said Kamala with a smile. "This is your place?"

[willingtopaytheprice]

Steve smiled as he nodded. "Steve Rogers. A pleasure. And yes, it's mine. So you're new, Miss Khan? Welcome to Medietas."

He offered a hand for her to shake. "The floating islands part is a bit hard to take at first. Everything else can be adjusted for."

[ms_perfection]

She shook, but had a big, wide eyed surprised look on her face. Ignoring the second part for a moment, she stammered out, "Steve Rogers? You look... I mean... you're not a grandpa... Sorry, that was rude, let me restart."

His grip was amazing though, and she shook firmly. "I just... this is a lot to take in, because where I come from, you're kind of... old, and shrivly, and got a cane and everything. I'm from Jersey, so I've seen all of the Avengers before growing up but uh... did anyone tell you, you look a lot like Chris Evans?"

Smooth self. Real smooth.

[willingtopaytheprice]

Steve's face froze for a moment, but that perfect eyebrow winged up as Kamala finished her blurt.

"A cane? What, did they manage to get all the serum out? And who is Chris Evans?"

[ms_perfection]

"Uh, in order, you're old, a fight you, or Captain America had with another guy drained the serum and stuff happened and now you're unofficially teamed up with Deadpool last I checked and uh... Chris Evans is an actor? Really good one, when he gets the right role."

Kamala shrugged helplessly. "Honestly, I get about 90% of my info from Deadpools Tumblr. So I don't know how accurate it is to be honest."

Tony generally tried not to get too carried away with it, but sometimes a man just had to take his suit of armor and go for a joyride. Being in the armor genuinely did soothe his nerves more than a little, which was something he tried not to think about too hard. He'd been accused of having too many attachment issues as it was.

But flying generally lower than he liked, thanks to the forcefield, meant that he at least got an excellent view of the fight going on below, once the sensors pulled his attention to it. Something about a girl beating up a group of men would do that. But she...seemed to be holding her own. Better than, really. No reason to step in.

He did keep an eye on her, though, if nothing else than because that definitely wasn't baseline human movement. When she finally came to a stop, he gave into the urge to duck in closer.

"That's probably because it's Jersey," he said as he dropped gently down a little bit away from her. Let's not startle the apparent super-human.

Re: 5

[ms_perfection]

The soft clang rang in Kamala's ears as Tony dropped down, but the voice was... familiar? Turning around, Kamala's stance dropped to a relaxed, if surprised look. "Oh wow... um, hi? Iron Man, Mr. Stark I didn't think this was your territory. Or wait, there's a bunch of people here and I needed to work out some stress and I saw these guys breaking in and... yeah."

She grinned sheepishly at the man in red and added, "Would it really be remiss of me to say that your suit looks awesome right now? Like it's all lit up and it's dark and I think I haven't seen it up this close in a while and I needed to ask if there was a scholarship last time but then things happened and wait... if you're here, does that mean you're from MY universe or the universe one over where Steve Rogers looks like Chris Evans? Because if you look like, I dunno, Robert Downey Jr. then I'm totally okay with that just fyi and did I mention I'm Ms Marvel if we're going through this?"

Re: 5

[buildsomething]

"Uh," Tony said intelligently in response to the onslaught. It took a moment or so to pick through what to even answer first. "I..don't think we've met, so I'm going to guess not the same universe?" And wasn't that a headtrip. But she did seem concerned about what he looked like, so after just a brief hesitation, he reached up to pull off the helmet and tuck it under one arm.

"And I wouldn't say it's my territory. Or anyone's. I was just passing through," he said, gesturing to the sky overhead with his free hand.

Re: 5

[ms_perfection]

Oh wow he does look like Robert Downey Jr. Man, why are all of these other world heroes I know look so hot I mean awesome I mean really cool?

"I guess you're right, on both things. Lemme start again. I'm Ms Marvel, a superhero from another world, and you are Tony Stark, am I right? Billionare playboy philanthropist? You're kind of a big deal where I come from." Kamala held out her hand for a shake as she added, "It's kinda nice to see familiar things in this world at any rate."

Re: 5

[buildsomething]

"Well that's good to know. And yes on all counts," he said with a flash of a smile as he reached to (gently) take her hand. More than one world where he was Iron Man. That felt good, actually.

"So you know me and you know Cap," Tony added, eyes narrowing in consideration. "What about Thor? Or Black Widow?"

Re: 5

[ms_perfection]

She shook firmly with a grin. Nodding at his question, Kamala replied. "Yeah, I do know them actually. Wait, we talking classic Thor, or the woman Thor? There's a new Thor in my area now and she's like this tall viking lady with really awesome boots. And Black Widow, I definitely know that name as well. I'm pretty sure we're from parallel worlds which is kind of comforting in that manner."

Which meant she didn't have someone to commiserate with since her own world ended.

[frankensteinian]

He's usually only on Nidus when he's making use of the Danger Room (since he neither lives nor works there), but sometimes when he's leaving the Danger Room, he'll stop in one of the businesses before heading for home.

Which is how he ends up coming across someone who seems to have no specific destination in mind. "Are you looking for something?"

Re: 2

[ms_perfection]

"Mostly looking around," said Kamala almost in an absent tone as she looked around the city blocks. "This place is a hodgepodge of other worlds, and I really wanted to check it out."

Gesturing towards the Institute in the distance Kamala asked, "Is that really the X-men Mansion? It looks a lot different than the Jean Grey Institute but then again, that place has blown up like six times already..."

[frankensteinian]

"It's..." He starts to answer, then is distracted by something else she said. "Jean started her own school?" No one has mentioned that yet, but then again, the Jean they know is hardly old enough to be past being a student herself.

[ms_perfection]

"Ah well..." How to explain that it's only in name only and the current Jean Grey was still a teenager after being yanked from the past to the future?

"It's in her name. Logan, Wolverine named it after her, after the... uh... six, seven times by now it's been destroyed? Time was not friendly to it. It's the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning now last I checked."

[frankensteinian]

"Logan." There's a name he hadn't expected to hear (unless he's talking about his cat). "Logan is associated with a school?" Admittedly they hadn't known each other for that long (from his perspective, at least), but Logan didn't really seem like the type to be associated with a building intended to teach others.

[ms_perfection]

"He runs it," said Kamala with a nod. "He's one of the founders of the new Jean Grey Institute. He's got a long association with him."

"I'm guessing you know of Logan?"

[hearts_beat]

"Keeping the streets clean? Are you a street cleaner?"

And facing Ms. Marvel, golden yellow eyes blinking curiously at her, is Cure Beat, her strange blue-and-white outfit a major difference towards the Inhuman's more conservative outfit.

"Eheh, s-sorry... bad joke, I know."

[ms_perfection]

Despite herself, and her growing sparkly eyed expression at how cute Beat's outfit was, Ms Marvel smiled brightly.

"No, no, it's okay! I just... I didn't expect another crime fighter to be out here. You've got such a cool outfit though. How does it go on though? That's all cloth isn't it? I don't see latches or zippers either..."

[hearts_beat]

"Y-You think so?" Cure Beat said, blinking in surprise. "Yeah, it's cloth... well, it looks like cloth, but it's magical - both in durability and how I can put it on.. It can really take a beating and all!"

A small pause before.

"You really think it's cool?"

[ms_perfection]

"Oh that is so cool," said Ms Marvel with a nod. "It really is! You're like one of those Japanese superheroes from anime. I'm not very knowledgeable about them but hey, superheroes are superheroes right?"

Getting up, she offered her hand to Beat. "I'm Ms Marvel, nice to meet you."

[hearts_beat]

"I'm Cure Beat. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Marvel...!" Beat said, taking the other heroine's hand. "Though, me? An anime? Eheh, there's no way they'd make me a superhero. Not with what I've done."

She grinned sheepishly at that. Yeah, her past isn't that great.

[ms_perfection]

"I dunno, you look the part, more than I do anyhow. But hey, Cure Beat? That mean music powers?" asked Marvel, shaking firmly but not too hard.

"Oh don't worry, you don't have to be squeaky clean to be a hero. There's plenty of somewhat grey people out there in my world."

She says knowing one of her heroes was Wolverine.
