Blue once described it as being stuck between the new and the old.


That's definitely a good way to put it.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Oh. Did your world's history look a little like this?


No. The steampunk aesthetic never really was a thing, outside fiction.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

What's that?
*Steps off the elevator once we get to ground level, onto a cobblestone mainway*


Huge events where people go to pretend they’re living in a way older period of time. For fun.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*The roads are full of people wearing a variety of clothing, from rags to top hats and monocles, some outfitted with brown leather vests and gloves, and many accessories with mechanical appearances, with one stand-out trait being a clear class divide between residents*
This part is at least a little more safe.
*The buildings are outfitted with winding brass staircases and twisting, enormous gears, and laced with notched pipes possessing color-coded stripes at each joint*


I feel like I’m at some sort of Ren Fair with a weird twist.

*We pass several floors of the garage until daylight peeks out from the top of the lift*


*Gets up on my toes to try and peek out at the town before we fully get up there*

You pick up what not to touch pretty quickly.


Quick enough to keep my head, I hope.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Steps in as well*
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Yep. Just don't trip.
*The next one slows when it nears our floor and the top of the lift peeks out*


I’m not that clumsy.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*When we reach the inset holes, a small lift moves up on one side and a few moments later another moves down on the other*
Get ready.


Elevator?
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Sure, we can tune in.
*Taps the pipes on the other car*
Also, these light up.
*Walks toward a set of rectangle cutouts in the bronze wall*


Ooh, nice.
*Steps out of the car myself*
