Test Drive - 002

TEST DRIVE 002

Welcome to Aterat!


Here is our second 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!

NOTE: While you do need an invite to apply to the game, you do NOT need one to tag or top level on the Test Drive!

Helpful Links to Get Started

Arrival & General Information | Locations & Bestiary | Residences & Housing Info | Rules & FAQ (ask questions here!)





A. Free-Fallin'

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. For the Benefit of Mr. Kite there will be a show tonight on trampolines

Just to the north of the market district, a small carnival has been set up in a square. As the sun sets, the stalls around it come alive with callers, carnival games, roasted meats are available as well as sweet treats. The games have prizes, stuffed animals and the like, and there are musicians. It's almost as though it's all in celebration of something, but what is anyone's guess. You're welcome to attend and see what's what, and any performers among the gathered are welcome to take part. The whole affair is very mirthful and fluid.


C. Delve Down into the Dark and Deep

If you're a more adventurous type, why not see what all the fuss is about in the sewers, or, if heroics are more your style, maybe look into why people seem to think it's fine to have monsters living just under their feet. Or just use the opportunity to keep your skills sharp. The sewers are pretty vast, after all.


D. Tell Phone™

Why not give that phone a shot and see who answers?




If you have any questions at all about setting or what is or isn't acceptable, please submit it on the FAQ!

It did seem that way. It's just unfamiliar.

[He might have already tried taking it apart to see how it works.]

Yeah?

[You know, it isn't until this very moment that it's even occurred to Thomas that someone might be pulled here from a different time.]

What would be familiar?

A telegraph.

This one seems to have the ability to do the same thing, just through a different mechanism.

A telegraph? [Seriously?] What year is it?

[OOC: No worries ♥]

[Seriously.] 1881. Although, given that this is decidedly not Paris, I suspect the year isn't the same, either.

That's a fair point. It's probably not the same year it was in Chicago, either.

Chicago. I haven't been to America yet. Perhaps one day.

I've never had the pleasure of Paris, either, to be honest, though...a friend always wanted to go.

I recommend it. It is the best city in the world.

I wonder if any city is the best one in the world anymore.
