TEST DRIVE 004

Welcome to Aterat!

Here is our forth 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 | Locations & Bestiary | Residences & Housing Info | Businesses | Rules & FAQ (ask questions here!)

A. 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.

B. A Winter's Ball

What brand new ballroom would be complete without a fancy new winter's ball to break it in? Things are a little strange at the ballroom (check the prompts) with mistletoe that traps you for a kiss with a random passerby, strange gray meringue that makes you willing to overshare, not to mention the fact that one of your strange possible overlords funded the whole thing. What's the worst that could happen?

C. We're all hanging out at the park, right?

The park near the Complex has become a glittering expanse of show! Children and adults alike build snowmen and even sled down some of the higher hills in the area. There are stands around the park selling hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and cider, as well as sweets and wrapped snacks for the day in the park. Speckling the park at regular intervals are standing fire pits designed to ward away the cold and allow for gatherings and conversation.

The pond in the park has frozen over as well, affording the abilities to ice skate as the ever-industrious Raimon is renting skates, and maybe even challenge people to a hockey game. How hard could it be to find some makeshift pucks and other accoutrements in order to play a game?

Tell Phone

The Tell Phones everyone are provided when they arrive are capable of voice transmission and texting as well and photo texts!

Yuki was at work, trying to get some of the more important files written down and put away for organization. It seemed like a day at the office, same as any other. His tea sat on the side desk so that it wouldn't accidentally spill into anything important and he sighed.

There was a whole fresh stack of papers in front of him it seemed. Paperwork just never managed to do itself and he got up from his desk to file away what he'd just finished with. No sooner did he file it when he thought he heard an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the tell phone.

Picking up his tea to have a sip before it got cold, he picked up the device and listened. Wait..this place was a significant improvement? That reminded him of something Mister Nomura had mentioned. But his grey eyes blinked a few times and he put his tea down.

"Well there have been earthquakes every now and then. And the monsters here can be pretty..tough." That was an understatement considering there was that demonic bear that killed both Caelan and Jacob. He'd worried so badly and had felt so useless, especially after finding out what had happened to his friends.

Yay, Yuki!
