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)!

That voice! Even before Yusuke himself investigated, Ren was moving toward it, evoking his Third Eye briefly, in only to verify what the voice told him: his friend was here. Before the young man had a chance to respond to the artist's question though, he came into view and they both had their confirmation. Morgana, it would seem, was not in the alleyway, but Yusuke certainly was and he smiled when his eyes fell on his over-dramatic friend.

"Yusuke, it's you." His mind wandered back to the sounds of clattering glass and a thought occurred to him that dropped his brows in concern. "You weren't rooting through the garbage back here for 'inspiration', were you?"

It was a valid concern.

Yusuke’s expression shifted to something akin to joyful disbelief. It really was Ren! After a couple months of being here on his own, the teen had practically given up hope of seeing a familiar face again. The bag was dropped entirely as he rushed over, hands on Ren’s shoulders as he greeted the other teen. Taking in the sight of his friend he hadn’t seen in what felt like forever, and looking for signs of time missed.

Personal space was still something Yusuke did not have the best grasp on when carried away, but what was a personal space between friends you hadn’t seen in months?

“And it’s you! Oh, what an absolutely fortuitous turn of events!” He beamed, tilting his head one way and then another. “Did you only just arrive? No, of course you must have. I would have seen you around if you had been here longer.” They were the same age, they would have been housed at the same place, after all. “Hm? What?” He uttered with some distraction as Ren’s questions finally connected. “Oh! While I can’t deny I was taking the long way home from meeting an acquaintance in hopes of stumbling upon some form of inspiration, no, I certainly was not rooting through anything this night.” Yusuke explained with a small gesture.

“Although…” He murmured thoughtfully, head titling back towards the alleyway. “That might be a marvelous idea, Ren! One never knows what treasures some may have thrown away.”

Whoops.
