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)!

It's odd, isn't it?
This place seems like a fantasy world.
I would have expected magic not technology.

[He's not really sure if he's entered 4D space or not at this point. But he hasn't seen anything that would tip him off that it was yet. This place seemed pretty backwards for so advanced a civilization as what he'd seen glimpsed through the Time Gate.]

Magic might exist here. There's a Wizard's Tower at any rate.

[He's not discounting anything as far as that goes. And he had no idea how to explain that little guy running at a breakneck speed.]

Is there? I hadn't gotten that far in the tour. Perhaps because my tour guide left me at the fountain to figure things out.

Do you know if there is a master of the Wizard's Tower?
angelofdestruction: (I don't know if I believe that)

[personal profile] angelofdestruction 2022-01-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't seem to be real helpful and only seems to be good at dropping things off and running away.

[Ya he's kinda mad about that. And even though she couldn't see him, Fayt was shaking his head.]

There isn't, I even asked.

It's true. I was a bit disappointed. It's the first time I've met someone like him.

[He runs very fast for a tiny man. She wonders what his leg muscles look like after all that exercise.]

Do you think there are many races who live here?
angelofdestruction: (Sus)

[personal profile] angelofdestruction 2022-01-19 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure how well anyone can meet someone who hands you things and then runs away.

[There was some salt there but then his green eyes grow wide over the next question.]

Other than humans you mean?

[personal profile] genius_sorcerer 2022-01-23 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That is true. Perhaps... acquaintance is the right word.

Yes. That small man looked to be something else.
angelofdestruction: (No)

[personal profile] angelofdestruction 2022-01-24 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

He looked something like a lawn ornament came to life.
genius_sorcerer: (76. question)

[personal profile] genius_sorcerer 2022-01-26 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A lawn ornament?

[It's been awhile since she's heard that sort of comparison.]

You might be right but I don't think he'd enjoy hearing that.
angelofdestruction: (What the -?)

[personal profile] angelofdestruction 2022-01-28 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She couldn't see it but Fayt was nodding. And then he thought maybe she had no idea what a gnome lawn ornament looked like so he didn't explain further. However, her next comment had him reach a hand up to scratch the back of his head.]

Well it's not like I told him that or anything.
