𝓑eginning the first chapter with all manipulative boredom, the weather has been set as to report that the sun is shining outside during this fine spring of 1892 and is radiating across the well-worked, steam-driven society. Puffs of white clouds decorated the youthful blue sky. Everything seemed to be processing as normal. Even the roundabout news was of silly-trivial things that were only categorized as such due to their unoriginal appearances. Missing persons happened from time-to-time, and thus, they were starting to be placed under this redundant soap opera of musings. However, this particular set of missing persons was indeed part of a larger class of mysteries that were only being advertised in a less-than interesting manner in order to keep the masses from seeing through the smokes and mirrors that contrived their make-believe society. π’œfter paying the paperboy with an average tip and opening local paper and flipping through several pages of some important details and other less than important details, a bloke will find himself casually glancing at several pictures of missing persons. One such person will be showed underneath this block of text. He was a man of strangely outstanding citizenship. Unfortunately, his citizenship was so outstanding for his young age that he never stood out in a crowd, and therefore, his whereabouts were politely unnoticed. However, his very personhood has become the center of attention to a string of unsolved mysteries pertaining to many such kidnappings and robberies with fingerprints that are completely invisible to the untrained eye. This is where our protagonists, Lady Alyssana Grey and Lord Finnegan Oaks enter into the mix of debauchery to play their part in the shenanigans plaguing the clockwork city. Only time will tell how their parts shall read, but before we begin the missing persons must be introduced: [h1] [/h1] [center][h2][sub]π“£β„Žπ‘’ π“œπ‘–π‘ π‘ π‘–π‘›π‘” π“Ÿπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘ [/sub][/h2][sup]___________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] π‘¨π’‘π’“π’Šπ’ [b][i]𝟷𝟾𝟿𝟸[/i][/b][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7LcN9xO.jpg?1[/img] [/center] [indent][indent][indent][indent]π‘΅π’‚π’Žπ’†: π‘‡β„Žπ‘œπ‘šπ‘Žπ‘  𝑂'π·π‘œπ‘™π‘™π‘¦ π‘―π’†π’Šπ’ˆπ’‰π’•: [i]𝟷.𝟾𝟻[/i] π‘š π‘Ύπ’†π’Šπ’ˆπ’‰π’•: [i]𝟹𝟽.𝟷𝟿[/i] π‘˜π‘” 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒏 π‘Ύπ’†π’‚π’“π’Šπ’π’ˆ: π΅π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘€π‘› β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘π‘ π‘‘π‘œπ‘œπ‘‘β„Ž π‘™π‘œπ‘›π‘”π‘π‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž π‘šπ‘Žπ‘‘π‘β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘” β„Žπ‘–π‘”β„Ž π‘€π‘Žπ‘–π‘ π‘‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘ π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ , π‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘š π‘£π‘–π‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘¦ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘ π‘  π‘ β„Žπ‘–π‘Ÿπ‘‘ π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž π‘Žπ‘› π‘œπ‘™π‘–π‘£π‘’ π‘”π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘’π‘› π‘€π‘Žπ‘–π‘ π‘‘ π‘π‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘€π‘› π‘™π‘’π‘Žπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘™π‘Žπ‘π‘’ 𝑒𝑝 π‘π‘œπ‘œπ‘‘π‘  𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒏: π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ πΏπ‘–π‘›π‘‘π‘”π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘› πΆπ‘œπ‘“π‘“π‘’π‘’ π‘†β„Žπ‘œπ‘π‘π‘’ [h1][/h1] [center]𝑰𝒇 π’šπ’π’–'𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’” π’Žπ’‚π’ 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 π’”π’†π’„π’“π’†π’•π’‚π’“π’š.

(As already has been noted above his Missing Persons advertisement.) However, he has been filed into the beginning of the line, but the line itself has extended to quite a dishonorable length. It has been brought to the attention of several individuals in society about the incidence causing some sort of commotion within the general population; and for such a reason, underground professionals have been hired to if not put an end to the news, at least make it so the layman public quiet their rumors around these subjects. The rumors are so small it's almost vanity to think that someone would go through so much length to nip these rumors in a bud. Yet, the society is quite pristine in such a political manner. For this reason, among the professionals, as who have already been mentioned by name, Lady Alyssana Grey and Lord Finnegan Oaks are among those who have been more-or-less summoned. Both prospective characters have a sibling who shall play almost equally important roles in the solving of this mismatched genre of mystery; adventures, cozy, criminal, suspense β€” all sparkled with logical, scholarly, and absurdist solutions. π“˜f by chance you are only a reader (thus pronounced as another unnamed character of the game) and not a player of this particular game, the narrator of this particular post would like to wish you many cheers along your adventure and perhaps even a small hat tip for helping break the fourth wall. In the mean time, the alternative characters whom all shall make appearances will be in various degrees of different types of professions and faces of fashion. One or more of the characters introduced shall be the culprit who has lead the mystery's beginnings. Some characters may know little to nothing or nothing at all, but the rumors are known by several innocent bystanders such as the paper boy, wearing his brown wool cap and camel coloured knickers. His rosy, flushed cheeks are probably part of the problem the rumors have even started. In fact, somewhere in the evil mechanics of all that has been said and done, the poor boy is wanted dead for having such a big mouth, but then again, killing off an unnamed character is something only characters such as Madame Sophronia know how to do in this game. 𝓐h, but who is Madame Sophronia, you ask? π“žr maybe you did not ask a thing. π“œaybe you have not a thought of wonder or curiosity left by now. Or, perhaps, you are still wondering who Lady Alyssana Grey and Lord Finnegan Oaks, are. Whatever the case, if by chance, you still have hold on such a playful mind of wonderings and imaginings, keep reading to find out. (And never you mind that murdering the paper boy would cause rumors to only spread like wild fires.)[/indent] [h1] [/h1]
