Test Drive 006
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!
Arrival & General Information | Setting & Bestiary | Locales & Businesses | Residences & Housing Info | Rules & FAQ (ask questions here!)
I. Crash Into MeNot 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)!
no subject
His head shook. "Well I'm sure you've been assigned a place, by the looks of the satchel you've got. I can show you to it and we can grab a bite to eat if you're hungry. And there's someone I want you to meet."
no subject
Fuck, that hurt more than Zack knew how to deal with to face. If what he'd calculated after escaping Nibelheim was right...
Maybe it was the fate of the First Class to die young?
"You know me, I'm always down for a meal. Blame the mako infusions." Granted because of their infusions they could also go longer than most without a meal, but damn he got hungry. "Alright, show me around then. Not like there's much harm to it."
no subject
He still had some of the coins from when he arrived and he knew it would be more than enough to get their meals out of the way.
"There's a tavern in town not too far from here, so we'll start there."
no subject
He had theories, they seemed fair, and he hated them. But if the two people he cared about were safe, then he supposed he could deal with it.
"You buying? I'm fresh enough off the train that I don't have any work lined up yet."
Open your bag, Zack, geez.
no subject
He was so used to taking care of Zack it was almost second nature. Even if he was unsure as to how his pup had made it here.
no subject
"And I'm guessing they aren't the sort of Tonberries you can befriend."
no subject
He really had no idea what to do with it.
no subject
Let it never be said that Zack's limit break was in any form sane. Being able to copy other people's techniques when in high stress situations was a very odd thing indeed.
"A week or two is more time than I've had I guess. And it's not like you've got that much on me. I did leave home a decade ago, Angeal."
Though he had spent some years in a test tube.
no subject
The former First looked over at his pup and had to laugh a little even as he mentally did the math presented to him. "Let's just focus on getting food. When was the last time you even ate?"
no subject
Still, he wanted to roll his eyes at not being taken seriously. Oh well. Angeal would never get it.
"Uh... days ago probably. Was saving the supplies for Spike."
no subject
There was a sigh as he got the report about saving supplies. And he briefly thought about how if the person Zack was referring to meant the young blonde infantryman that he had knocked him down, just enough to knock the breath out of him. He was pretty sure that was the kid.
Saying nothing about that, he just kept walking. "Just make sure you don't go away hungry." Because he'd gotten here, the only one to cook for was the puppy and since he was so small, he didn't eat much as of yet.
and having cooked for three grown Soldiers, he ended up making too much food.
no subject
"Oh come on, you know me. I love to eat. Guess I gotta find work here so I can eat my fill. Like, seriously. Think people will be down for some sorta handyman?"
no subject
However there was no issue.
But as far as a handyman went, Angeal had to smile. "There are a lot of places that need fixed up in certain areas. And there are people moving into housing, so I don't see why they couldn't use an extra set of hands."
no subject
He had so many unanswered questions in his head. So many things he wanted to explain to Angeal. So many more he wanted the man to explain to him. But... but this wasn't the time, and he had learned something about keeping things to a time and place.
no subject
But they got to the tavern and Angeal grabbed the door first. The smell of the food got to him and fortunately his stomach didn't growl like he thought it might.
This made him wonder if it was a perk to being deceased.
"Let's get some food, Soldier."
no subject
"You dont' have to tell me twice. Or, well, not three times at least."
no subject
So finally he lowered the menu and looked at his pup.
"Is everything alright Zack?"
no subject
"No, Angeal. Not... It's been so long and looking at you I'm so confused. You're... you're okay. You look fine. Better than when I last saw you. And I don't get it."
no subject
He now bore physical scars of their fight, but that wasn't important right now. What was important was Zack. "The Lifestream has a way of mending things."
And Angeal wasn't sure he should get into how he was on his way to go pick Zack up and bring him there after that fight with the Shinra troops.
So he didn't.
no subject
"Then... Why did you leave?"
It hurts, he doesn't know how to even talk about it.
no subject
And he looked at the table, unsure how to communicate that. There was also that punch to the gut that he'd given Zack, ending up in the other meeting the Ancient in the church. There was an unspoken apology for that too, along with so many other unsaid things and so many regrets.
So the former Soldier sighed with a shake of his head. "There was so much going on. I wasn't...myself."
no subject
"Like Sephiroth was sorta... fucked up in Nibelheim? Genesis made it worse, so much worse."
no subject
And then he turned and abandoned the one who needed him the most.
Guilt wracked through him but he couldn't really show that because he'd always been strong for Zack, or at least tried to show that sort of thing even if he felt that he was failing at it right about now.
So he nodded almost miserably. "I know, I saw the damage."
no subject
"How did you see that?"
