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)!

Now that got a slow blink. "You're-- I think you'd know if you were - you'd be as afraid of that pseudomonas as I am," she said. "I mean. Unless you've never seen a pseudomonas before. I was only afraid of my first one after it threatened me, but I was still an erythroblast back then."

Her look turned guilty as her mind completely turned away from the previous subject and more toward this one - all thanks to her own memory. "I thought the first one was still the white blood cell who was teaching us."

"Oh, my, I meant I believe we are both equally confused. Though I seem to be doing a good job of making the situation more confusing." Perhaps it was a particular talent of hers. Or maybe it came more from her innate ability to make things slightly more awkward. Either way, Haru felt utterly awful that she had no idea what this young woman was saying.

"I am sincerely sorry that I don't seem to understand. The things you're saying...they are parts of the human body? But the way you are speaking like they're people?"

I love this whole situation XD

"Ohhhh. So you mean you were confused, too - I understand now." Her mind had been about one degree behind. But then, with a smile, she nodded. "Of course I'm part of a body. I'm a red blood cell," she said, easily agreeing with that. "And my friends are other red blood cells, white blood cells, the cute little platelets... I don't think I'd be brave enough to call the macrophages or the killer Ts my friends, but yeah, I know them, too."

That smile of hers remained through the whole thing. She'd been one of the first red blood cells to make friends with the immune cells. That was changing, bit by bit, and she was glad.

"Yes! Very confused," she said with a little giggle that quickly faded, to be replaced with an even bigger look of confusion. "But-but, if you're a part of the body how are you outside of it? And human looking." She looked like a normal enough person to Haru but perhaps there was something she was missing.

"I'm afraid this is all rather...strange to hear."

"This is how we all look." The rest, though--

"But. I... I do know sometimes we end up outside of the body, but that's usually a bad thing. Like through a wound. But one time we did get some new red blood cells from another body. It really saved us. Maybe something like that happened? I... I don't know."

"I....see...." No, she really didn't see.

"With certainty I can say that the rest of the people here are not red blood cells. Or from a body at all. I know I am certainly not and that would be something one would know, wouldn't it?"
