Test Drive 006
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. When the Carnival Came to Town?
Take a look at the prompts from our latest event and go to town (or the carnival).
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)!

"I was referring to your comment that implied you thought Ororo's old costumes were too revealing," she said with a shrug. "Not your Gala. I was a model, I'm aware of what Galas are. I'm not at all surprised that Emma would go all out. I hope you did the same yourself."

"Oh, well, come on. They were," Tommy said with a shrug.

But he smirks and nods.

"Yeah, of course. You ever think I wouldn't?"

"I'd be curious to know what you wore, too bad you can't show me here." She shrugged. "Then again maybe you will. It's not as though I know much about what goes on in this place." Maybe it had Galas too.

Tommy grins and winks. "Yeah, but it's not relevant here, is it? So I'll keep the mystery to me."

And he is amused by that. He gestures for her to walk with him.

"I know a place for good lunch. Lemme buy you something."

"I guess we all need our mysteries," she chuckled and then began to walk by his side.

"That's kind of you to offer."

"I mean, I'm not an X-Man, but I figure I should be polite anyway," he answered with a shrug. "I know a place that does a good shepherd's pie."

"Don't feel as though you need to be polite to me just because we're both mutants," she replied casually. Fake politeness went out of style in worlds like these. "But I'm not going to turn shepherd's pie down."

Both mutants. Tommy keeps smiling. That's been complicated hasn't it? He's probably a mutant. But the people accept him more or less, so it works.

"Awesome. Because I'm fucking starving. Too much of today delivering packages."

"That's what you do here? Deliver packages?" How...mundane. Did people here really get just mundane jobs?

"Yeah, set myself up a business and everything," Tommy answered. "I work with a lot of poor and homeless kids. Not all manipulating them shit, but paying them pretty good wages, and using company funds to get them food and clothes. Tell them it's part of working for me."

He's trying, because he could have used someone to look at for him these days. "The amount I get paid to carry packages long distances in a few breaths is fucking insane. Works for me."
