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)!

She took a step back from him, her confusion settling more toward hurt and bitter disappointment. "I am a blood cell. And I'm glad I'm not yours."

Because it meant that her student, and White Blood Cell, and the little platelets - and Killer T, for all he was scary sometimes - hadn't just leaked out of a thoughtless human.

"If you're a blood cell, then you're not from my world's version of them," Tommy said with a shrug. "Cells don't have minds and intelligence. That's not how it works where I'm from."

"And how do you know? You've never talked to one before." Red Blood Cell crossed her arms. "Right now, neutrophils are being dispatched to the front line of that wound to protect you from all of the bacteria that you let in. They think it was an accident. They're risking their lives to help you. And you're not even thinking about them."

But now she had to wonder. Did her world - her body, where she delivered oxygen, even if capillaries were a pain - think of them? They were so small. She knew that. But...

But... did any human think about them, working inside them all day and all night, day after day, to keep them alive?

Seriously?

"Because people study the body. And can see cells under microscopes. They don't have legs. Or arms. Or heads."

Geez, this kid is insane. And this was just a mess. Don't be like that.

"...Well, I hate to tell you this, but you're obviously wrong." She looked at him with one brow raised, head tilted. "Because I'm a red blood cell. Arms, legs, head, and all."

She paused.

"And more than that, you're being a jerk."

Seriously? Tommy sighs.

"I'm saying they don't in my world. Which this isn't. And it's not your world either. Geez, how do I even get you to believe something obvious? Do I have to haul a chocobo over here?
rbc_ae3803: (All throughout the body)

"Your world would have to work the same as my world. Red Blood Cells do the same thing everywhere - we just got some new ones only a little while ago, and they do the same things we do, and they came from a different world." And that was evidence.

...That was how that worked, right? Surely. She thought. No, honestly, she was probably wrong. That was...

That was kind of her track record.

This is bad evidence.

"Sounds like a blood transfusion. So that's not a different world. That's a plastic bag."
