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!

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 take it you've gotten things from them before?" Can he actually offer proof that they make quality work? "I've been told I have high standards before." Often. Though only when it comes to the finer things in life. The rest of her life? That was a different story.

"Mm, I won't attract unwanted attention from locals." Though she doesn't elaborate on why that is. She does however seem exceedingly confident in that statement. After a second she lets out a little chuff. "I'm a mutant, I'm used to people saying things. Very used to it."

That was relieving to hear that there were at least some modern comforts to be found. She wasn't above roughing it, but she'd certainly prefer not to have to for an overly long amount of time. Not that she wanted to be stuck here for a long time.

"I see. What were these goals?"

“Indeed! Most of what I have was made by them?” Of course, aside from what he arrived in this world with. “And they’re excellent at smaller details.” He added, tugging out a handkerchief with a rather complicated looking floral pattern sewn into it. Something Rhy had made with him in mind, given Llewellyn needed things to fuss with and hold his attention while he tried to work on a problem. “This is an, uh- example of his embroidery as well.”

Llewellyn was about to ask how she wouldn’t attract attention from locals, given that seemed… a bit difficult? Until she continued a moment later, mentioning she was a mutant. There were some perks to having been around two of these worlds now. He knew the term and had a better idea of the kind of world she was from, thanks to that. “A mutant? Ah, I see, I’ve met one or two since I left my world… They seem to have rather varied abilities.” And so, he supposed she must have something that would help her blend.

Llewellyn was quite fond of the modern comforts himself, especially things like toasters and coffee makers… And microwaves that were not as large as a closet. Far less dangerous, those.

“The goals?” He rubbed the side of his face, while the other tucked his handkerchief away… Though his hand remained in his pocket as he fussed with it a bit, fingers running over stitches while he pulled what he knew of both worlds together in his mind. “Well, in this world I’m sure you’ve uh- already gotten the speech about the ruin that came to this place and that they want us to assist in rebuilding- which mostly just seems to be populating it and living our lives.” Simple enough in theory, though he had a feeling they’d find something more complicated to it than that before long.

“And in the last? Well… I had a conversation with the entity in charge, and it was the last of its kind… It wanted to study us as an experiment to bring back its kind. If I’m being honest, I still fail to see how we could have really given it answers. We were all very different from it… And the stages of the experiment I was there for didn’t really make much sense for that goal.”
