==Boon== Zoomtown can be used for long distance travel to a specific location, but each time someone completes it, subsequent runs on it will be harder for that person, for example the buildings will move faster. As a boon, runners become better at dodging incoming traffic, whether as a driver or pedestrian, at the cost of being annoyed when a passenger. The boon doesn't make someone completely immune to the dangers of traffic, making overreliance a risk.<ref>“This path is low-occupancy, low reward, at least boonwise. But getting through it comes with a perk. Slight drawback, too. Well… two. Three.<br><br>Avery raised her eyebrows.<br><br>“Two of them aren’t really drawbacks, exactly. More stuff to be cautious of.”<br><br>“What perk?”<br><br>“You’ll find you’re ''really'' good at racing through incoming traffic. I’m talking driving on the wrong side of the road, driving through a red with cars in the way… running and biking too.”<br><br>“That sounds like the stupidest thing ever,” Snowdrop said.<br><br>“It sounds pretty cool… and niche,” Avery said. “I have a hard time imagining myself using that.”<br><br>“It’s a niche path. Drawback one is that you’ll be kind of annoyed when you’re not the one driving.”<br><br>“I’m thirteen. I won’t be able to do my own driving for a while.”<br><br>Jude frowned.<br><br>“That could be a bigger drawback, when my parents have to drive me places a lot.”<br><br>“We could back off. I can show you how to exit.”<br><br>Avery frowned. “What are the other not-quite drawbacks?”<br><br>“This is a path that can get you from one place to another, but every time you do it, it gets harder. I’ll have to follow you, or I’ll get in your way.”<br><br>Avery nodded. A good thing to be aware of.<br><br>“And that perk? It doesn’t make you perfect at driving into incoming traffic. It makes you ''really good'', but if you lean too heavily into it, you will end up smeared on the pavement eventually.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/18/leaving-a-mark-4-1/ Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.1]]</ref>
