Test Drive - 001

TEST DRIVE 001

Welcome to Aterat!


Here is our first ever 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. Welcome to the Jungle

The URBAN jungle, that is. 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, see what you can waste your meager starter coin on in the Market District, or maybe just meet the neighbors.


B. We've Got Fun and Games

At least there's entertainment. In various parts of the city, there are street performers, slight of hand tricksters, and probably a game or two of poker in one tavern or another (there are several to be found, after all). Start up a game of darts, or just sit broodily in a corner and watch the others coming and going.


C. You can have anything you want but you better not take it for free

The Harbor District is a rough joint. There are pickpockets, swindlers, but also hardworking folk and more than a few buildings that seem to be locked. It sure would be a shame if someone were to go about performing some casual Breaking & Entering...you know, as long as you don't get caught. There are guards around, though not nearly as many here as in the other districts. It's almost as though they like to avoid the place. People talk about wererats in the shadows at night and it's not unheard of for the unaware to go missing when they're traveling around here after dark...


D. What's that smell?

As if being carted off to what looks like a city out of a video game weren't bad enough, there's an entire district to the northeast that seems to be walled off, warded, and in all ways inaccessible. According to the sign, it's the cemetery...and boy does it smell.


E. Speaking Crystal

You could always take a look at the instructions that came with your crystal and see who else is listening. Remember, though, these devices are Voice Only and cannot be filtered. If you speak, anyone with a crystal can and will hear you. Now, whether or not they choose to respond is another thing entirely.




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

If you would like to explore any aspect of the setting more indepth, please PM the mod account OR comment here! All comments are screened!

I have explored a bit but I hope to explore more and I'd like to go outside the city.

My understanding is that there are dangerous out in the area around the city.
faithfulsupport: (Are you seriously considering that?)

[Well this was a report.]

If it's dangerous, it would be wise to err on the side of caution and perhaps take someone with you.

[Yes he's being chivalrous which can be totally misunderstood like Aranea had done a time or two.]

I hope so. I wanted to advertise for a team before going out there.

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-07-12 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
So you have a team prepared?

whereishe: (happy talking)

[personal profile] whereishe 2020-07-12 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet but I will.

I just need to find them.
faithfulsupport: (And your next question was?)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-07-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She couldn't see it, but he shook his head.]

Then I'm afraid I will have to be your first volunteer.

[Ladies didn't belong in danger.]
whereishe: (This way)

[personal profile] whereishe 2020-07-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Are you able to fight?

I don't know what's out there.
faithfulsupport: (Fond gaze -r)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-07-13 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I most certainly am capable.

[There was a smirk[

Only one way to find that out I suppose.
whereishe: (happy talking)

[personal profile] whereishe 2020-07-14 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. You're in.

Let's go find out.
faithfulsupport: (As you wish)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-07-15 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[There was a smile and smothered laughter.]

And here I thought you were searching for a team.

I am but I want to make sure that everyone is safe too.
