Were doing this on forum, not on a pad, so you don't have to be afraid.

(Collab by bebithetuffle, SP2398salt and TerrifyingObject)

PLOT

The year is 1923, technology has advanced in a way far different to the way we know it in our existances. Everything runs on cogs, gears, and steam. This planet we live on is called
"Mehkai". The world we live in works on a tier system:

1.The high class, living in large balloon structures

2. The middle class, living in high towering buildings

3. The lower class, living in shabby houses and on the streets.

Then you had the government. They live in the highest part of the Balloon city. To put it simply, the government can't care any less about lower class than they do now. The police in the lower city don't do anything about the constant crime. The streets are filled with shouty hobos and body bags.
However, there also existed a rebellion. They took up arms for the rights of the lower class, expecting a change, not expecting to be pepper sprayed back to the ground, there is still an active resistance, working every day for rights, however.

The plot is quite loose, but we will pretty much make it up as we go along.


The rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrules.

If I need to put rules in here, i'm going to curl up under my desk with a bottle of gin and some chocolate cake, and put myself into a coma. -Bebi.

-Saik

I leave the house, and head for my repair shop down the street.
I greet a few friends that are also heading to their job, and then I enter my shop. A few minutes later, a shabby man enters the shop. He's wearing a ragged coat and is holding a little clock.
"Can ye fix me clock please?" he asks with a strange accent.
"Alright sir. Please hand me the clock." I reply.
The man gives me his clock, and I turn the small lock on the back, revealing the inside of it. It seems like one of the gears has a piece chipped off. I grab a few gears from a cardboard box behind me, and look for the right size. I then simply lock it in to place and close the clock.
"There you go, just a chipped off gear. That'll be 4 dollars." I say to the man.
"Here ye go good sir. Thank ye!" he says, while giving me the money.
"Have a good day!" I say to him, as he leaves my shop.

Name: Callum McCready.

A.ge: 28.

Gender: Female.

Class: Resistance.

Appearance: Callum stands at 6'3, with a rather lanky build, though still feminine and curvy. Her skin is quite pale, almost unhealthily so, and is riddled with scars from fights and such. She has pale grey eyes, flecked with blue and gold specks, and are enhanced by long, thick eyelashes and thin, angled eyebrows. Her hair is jet black, choppily cut and hanging down to her waist. She will often tie it back with a black satin ribbon.

Callum dresses much like a man would, much to the disappointment and disgust of the "ladies" of Mehkai. She wears a simple, loose fitting, white linen shirt, and a black corset, tied extremely tight, over that. Along with that, black breeches that hug her legs, and gold-buckled, knee-high, gold-plated boots with a slight heel, probably an inch tall. Sometimes, she'll wear a black coat with tails, a bit dirtied, with a gold stopwatch hanging from one of the pockets.

Weapons: She carries a few daggers, hidden in her clothing, not very extravagant in appearance, and a flintlock pistol. Callum does have a flintlock rifle, though she rarely uses it.

Biography: N/A.

Inventory: About 20 dollars, maybe a few coins here and there. She also keeps a stopwatch, and a pair of old spectacles.

I was walking down the street when I decided to look at the time. My watch had broken, that was odd, I had just bought it yesterday, i'll head down to one of the little shops and have it fixed. I headed down to a middle class repair shop and headed in. "Excuse me, sir, can you fix my watch?"

A fancy man, probably upper class walked in. He asked if I could repair his watch.
"Of course my good sir, let me take a look at it." I said to him.

I grabbed a screwdriver and removed the back. A gear was put in the wrong way. I simply put it in again, this time right.
"Here sir, you don't need to pay me for this. It was but a misplaced gear."

He wears grey trousers with a brown double-breasted brass-buttoned waistcoat over a white (usually dirty) dress shirt. On his head he usually wears a tweed stiff-brimmed greyish flat cap, angled crookedly. His long trousers usually cover the ankle of his black gumboots, usually dirty with grime and dirt. He is of average size and build, with lanky features and an long, oiled moustache on his upper-lip.
Weapons: A long-barreled cap-and-ball single-action revolver with a nickel finish, usually resembling a colt revolver, is hidden at half-co.k inside the inner left br.eas.t pocket of his waistcoat.

His father was murdered in a bar brawl when he was only a lad, and he resolved to set off into the world by the time his widowing mother died of pneumonia when he turned eighteen. He made his life driving a carriage, both as a traveling taxi and a transport for the cargo he usually moved as a peat-digger to feed cookfires and indoor heating.
Inventory: Around fifteen dollars lie in his purse, extra dosh from his gamblings. He also has a monocle in his pocket.

The crunching bounds of rusted axles and the turning of wagon wheels on the streets bore into my ears as I reined my horses to a stop by a repair shop. With due haste, I made my way off the cart and headed towards the door of the shop. There were still many rounds to be done before dark.

(Change my class to Middle Class. Accidentally put Resistance.)

Callum sighed, observing the world from her residence. She sat in the window seat, her chin resting in her hand, elbow resting on her knee, watching as the clouds rolled by. It was extremely boring, her life, sitting around and such. Sighing once more, Callum stood and walked toward her door, grabbing her coat off of the hook and stepping out into the hall of the tower where she and many others.

(I somewhat imagined the tower as.. an apartment building, I suppose, in tower-form. So. yeah.)

Easing the door open, I step into the room, and head towards the man who stood behind a long counter. "Good day, sir." I do a slight bow and clutch my flatcap to my stomach. "I was wondering if you needed any peat for heating your shop, or for fueling fires."

(For someone in the middle class, $90 is decent.

But I'm not counting inflation, which means that we're either looking at 1900s dollars or today's currency.)

"Well, depends how much you want, sir." I had lost my formal tone despite who I was talking to, now stooping over, arms placed on the counter-top. "If you want to fuel your shop for a day or two, five dollars; several increments a week, eight."

(Well, bebi said I could carry like 20 dollars. Dunno though.)

"I'll have fuel for a day. Here's five dollars." I say to the man, handing him the money.

"Alright." I reply cheerfully, snatching the coins and stuffing them quickly into my pockets. "Hang on, it'll be just a minute." I return my flat cap to my head and head out the door to my cart.
