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)!

[ Aerith pops up on screen with a very confused expression on her face. ] What kind of materia was it? [ She hadn't really heard anyone else talk about it here, so that managed to peak her curiosity. ]

It's hard to imagine anyone here stealing it. Maybe you just misplaced it?

[WHAT THE FUCK?!]

AERITH!

[Yuffie stumbles and after a blur of purple and black is popping back onto the screen.] Forget that! [For now, she'll get back to the Materia question in a second.] You're here! And Alive?! What the?! Shit! Where are you?

[ She looks surprised then confused, slowly blinking at the screen. ]

Yes, to both things. I think this is the most interesting greeting I've ever gotten.

Well, I am awesome.

[Yuffie grins before realizing that she's getting off track again.]

Wait! Stop doing that?! You don't remember me? This is crazy. [She grabs her head and tries to think back to... everything. Her face pales and her stomach turns uncomfortable.] This is really crazy.

I'll sum up. I know you because I joined you and Cloud and Tif and Vinny and Barrett and... you get the idea. Anyway, we were doing save the world stuff but we meet in Wutai which is where I am from. [Her lips tug into a smug smile.] You might have heard of the White Rose of Wutai. That's me! The great Ninja Yuffie.

So then we were chasing crazy silver-haired Seph guy and you got hurt like... a dead-ish amount... [This is awkward.] So I am really happy to see you because you were one of my first friends. [She isn't the best at making friends though she's better than she had been 3 years ago, when she'd first met Aerith and the gang.]

I think that sums it up. It's hard to go into details because I wasn't entirely paying attention. [At least she's honest?]

[ Okay, well, that's a lot of information to take in. Some of it isn't too surprising, but she still can't help but feel just a tiny bit overwhelmed. Her expression drops for a fraction of a second, betraying that discomfort that she'll eventually move to try to hide. ]

The White Rose of Wutai, huh? Sounds pretty impressive! [ Even if she's not entirely sure who she is, she'll go with it. Though, now she just feels super bad she doesn't remember her. ]

I'm sorry, a lot of that doesn't sound too familiar. When I'm from we've just left Midgar. [ She smiles encouragingly. ] I'm sure we can still be friends, though!

[Yuffie just breezes past the information and keeps on going. This is all totally normal.]

It is totally impressive. [She isn't even a little bit humble.] So where you at? [The video shifts as Yuffie jumps from her window and lands on the ground outside of her apartment. Of course she has to attempt to find her old friend. It doesn't seem to matter to her that Aerith doesn't remember her.

That's clearly a small detail.]


I was actually just in Midgar. Chasin' some stuff down for Reeve. Wait, do you remember him? Or who do ya remember?

I'll just have to take your word for it. [ She can accept someone not being humble, it's kind of funny in a way. ] At my shop in the marketplace! [ She steps outside and shows a quick look at the surrounding buildings and what her flower shop looks like from the outside. Seems like the best way to try to give people directions. It was strange to have someone know her and not recognize her in the slightest, but she's certainly a tiny bit curious about what's going on. ]

Reeve? Like the head of Urban Development? [ At least she thought that was his department. ] Mmm....Cloud, Tifa, and Barret .

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2022-07-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
A shop! [Yuffie grins excitedly.] That's so cool! Do you sell flowers there?! I'm going to come and see!

[She keeps the phone on and facing upwards but is walking towards the marketplace or at least where she thinks it is.]/small>

Yeah. That's sorta a long story. Yeah! That's the Avalanche crew. Guess you haven't met Vincent yet either huh? Are any of them here? Wait! [Her thoughts veer off and she frowns.] What if they don't remember me either!

Yup! It's a nice little flower shop where I sell things from my garden. [ She gives a little awkward smile. ] You're welcome to come! I can show you the garden sometime too if you want.

No, no Vincent yet. Maybe I will though. It's a big world out there. [ A bit scary new world. ] Cloud's here.
