Test Drive - 001
TEST DRIVE 001
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!
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!

Jacob turned away from the water and stared up at the hooded stranger. He wasn't planning to ask Altaïr for any personal information but the remark made him wonder-- what kind of world this stranger was from? He probably didn't read a lot of fiction.
"What if no one is a native? We don't really know anything, do we?" Jake was used to not knowing and it didn't bother him as much as it used too.
no subject
It was a truth he'd not really wanted to consider, but there it was - stated plainly. The shadow of his hood kept the narrowing of his eyes hidden, but it happened all the same. If no one here was from here. If even those he thought of as citizens had once been dropped here as he had...
What did that mean for this place? What was this place, in truth? Would they ever reach their homes?
More to the point: Would he even want to?
His brows drew down and he wondered. He doubted if he would, all told. Not to an Order that treated him as the Brotherhood had. Still. It was disconcerting, and the low sound he made deep in his throat spoke to that fact.
no subject
It was something you had to learn when you were a regular kid adopted by a werewolf.
"But hey, if I figure anything out, I'll give you a shout out." Not that he knew this guy at all... "My name's Jacob. Not sure if I mentioned that before." He might have. His mind was all over the place and it was hard to remember how the conversation had started.
no subject
The Templars, perhaps? They seemed more a blunt instrument than anything that could be considered a predator. They liked to sit in their positions of power and have others get their hands bloody for their behalf.
Which meant this was something else entirely. Perhaps worth knowing.
Jacob was an old Christian name. He was familiar enough with it that he didn't blink to hear it. "I will remember," he said, though he didn't give his own name.
ooc: I dont know where he will actually be living but just assume its correct.
It was hard to see the features beyond the man's hood but he saw the darker skin and the scruff at the tip of Altaïr's chin. If that wasn't enough, he would recognize this man by his lack of recognition.
"Cool. Oh. I'm living in the green building room 210. So you can find me." He moved around Altaïr, continuing to keep his motions light and easy. "You're welcome to stop by whenever. I'm game for answering anything, though I might not find out much." In many way's, Jacob was an open book.
"I guess, until next time." He paused and waited for some notification before heading off the room using the same method he'd used to get up there.
