Test Drive 005
WELCOME TO ATERAT

Here is our Fifth Test Drive Meme! There are a lot of areas of the city to explore, so please have a look around! In case you need a little help getting started, I've included a few prompts below, or feel free to start your own! Exploration and player initiative are the names of the game here!

Helpful Links to Get Started

Arrival & General Information | Setting & Bestiary | Locales & Businesses | Residences & Housing Info | Rules & FAQ (ask questions here!)

I. Crash Into Me
Not exactly, but close enough. You have just arrived and received a strange satchel from a tiny, strange little man and are left more or less to your own devices (more information on what to expect upon arrival can be found here)! Follow directions to the north and check out the housing, or maybe have a look around the Historium and try to get some information from that giant glowing ball, see what you can waste your meager starter coin on in the Market District, or maybe just meet the neighbors.
II. What Goes Bump in the Night
It looks like Aterat proper has a spirit problem. Maybe you're seeing specters, hearing disembodied voices, your windows rattle when there's no breeze outside. Maybe there are cold spots in your place of business (or your apartment, which is so much worse). Either way, you're 100% convinced you're haunted. Hopefully, someone else believes you, or maybe you're used to feeling crazy.
III. A Mean, Green Mother from where now?
There's a pollen problem in the city, and by that we mean it's everywhere. Yellowish green pollen seems to be caked-on everything with the misfortune of being outside, whether it's windows, banisters, carts, you name it. If it's outside for a duration of time, it's a free game to have a layer of dust settled upon it, and it plays havoc on anyone who breathes it in. Allergic to pollen? Your allergies are horrible. Not allergic, well, you might just have the sniffles anyway, and another problem. You seem to be completely unable to tell a lie. Not only that, but you feel the overwhelming need to tell people things you'd usually keep to yourself. Maybe you like to put cream in your coca-cola (you monster) or maybe you've done something terrible and you really need to get it off your chest either in person or over the network.
IV. Try the Network
The Tell-Phone allows for text, video, and audio transmissions to everyone else who has one. Give it a whirl!
V. Wildcard
The above prompts are all options, and there's much more to the setting than what they provide. Do your best (or your worst)!

Jacob knew the meme and couldn't help the curl of his lips to stop the smile that threatened to expose his knowledge. "I can tell. I should probably work on getting that done faster for you." He paused and then considered. "And maybe buy myself a jacket."

He had some money but it wasn't enough for a full set of winter clothes. He'd likely have to borrow money and then pay people back. It's that or freeze his ass off all winter.

He missed space heaters.

"I don't remember ice being too bad last year but there was a lot of snow."

"Yeah, there's a good seamstress and tailor in town. A Cut Above. They're customers of ours. Try there," Tommy suggested. Not that they'd necessarily have good winter coats. They might know where he could look though.

"Wasn't here last year, and I'd rather the cart in a situation than running."

Jacob nodded. "Thanks." He didn't remember a place called A Cut Above but he remembered a few others telling him about a tailor in town. Sounds like he should actually go and check out this tailor.

"I'll make sure to help Gary get your cart in time." Gary always complained about doing things himself the last time he was here, so he imagined that he'd be handed the heavy lifting again. That is after Gary yells at him for disappearing without a trace.

"Anyway. I don't want to take up too much of your time. Hopefully, we can talk again sometime." They both had work to do after all.

"Good man," he grinned and offers a brief wave.

"Gotta go make sure the tiger didn't get into my meat sticks again. He gets peckish sometimes. Have fun with work."

The next time they met, he was going to ask about the tiger.

"Thanks. You too." With a raise of his hand, Jacob bid his goodbye and turned back towards Gary's shop to get yelled at my his old boss.

He was welcome to. Tommy waved and was gone in a blur of light. Tiger boyfriends were for later.
