And I don't understand 'Cause I'm not as smart as them But even a parachute would have shown that they cared

SOME WORLDBUILDING!!! FOR MY STEAMPUNK/SCI-FI/SPACE STORY!!!

ive hit a wall with the outfits for my steampunk sci-fi space story BUT the inside of the ship is similar to, say, the fortress of meropide in genshin. without all the oceanlike references. the ship itself is massive and its sectioned into floors (i'll sketch this out later </3)

these floors are made to resemble human civilization as closely as possible. they are wide and oval, and in the middle is the giant elevator that takes you floor to floor. on each floor theres a clock hand on the ceiling that tells you which area will be in sleep mode (better name pending. maybe.) in which the area is dark for about five or so hours.

they dont actually record time. you have a curfew bell and you're not required by LAW to go but its reccomended because there is literally 0 light. like walls come up (you can go thru a door to the other areas still) but. theres a wall. theres no light. u need a flashlight. womp womp

phones are where the scifi bit comes in. theyre holographic. bc its cool. usually through a watch.

bug lights are popular. a little bug that flies ahead and has a small but effective little light. theyre prone to exploding though. hm.

factories are on the lower floors, housing is from the middle to the top. higher up means higher status usually. housing floors usually also include stores and things, because ppl buy buildings and sell their own stuff. but theres a mall floor owned by the company.

most money earned is company money. you work to keep your house, and you can use company money in the company mall. real money is something you had to have brought along with you. and you only keep it if you're actively making it. that said, most stores will take company money. you just cant buy a building without real money. keeps buildings open for businesses.

cops are called guards instead because it sounds less threatening to criminals that live there. more "theyre keeping us safe" vibes. they look out for smugglers and stowaways mostly.

people who came were mostly applicants. a lot of ppl were afraid to go at all because. wooo scary space. and because of a certain incident OOPS!!!

they bring in new people and add to the place all the time, so the common living area is pretty cramped.

prisons suck. like really suck. it'll be hard to get hired again after you're out too. which means yeah hurray bias and prejudice (because remember this is based on before companies had regulations. capitalism at its worst.)

the food can be really bad or really good. depends on how much you're paying. living closer to the factories usually means you work longer shifts. or you're a criminal trying to stay away from the (literal) higher-ups.

working on the ship itself pays better than factory work. like waaayy better. as well as guard work and school jobs. (yeah we have schools. theres three in each living area.

company CEO is very rarely seen. its moreso his bitter wife and his daughter who i love sososososo much

main characters are Alice Riis, William Spargo, and Eva Tarbell. Alice is a journalist, Will is a factory worker, and Eva is a an upstanding citizen whos definitely not a smuggler. But there are others, like the CEO's daughter, Laika, and a salon worker, Vera. there's also Will's mom, his dad, and his cat. We love his cat.

Will came on the ship because his father worked for the company. the whole family went.

Eva was intended to be a guard, but she snuck off. she avoids detection by staying in the lower levels and couch-surfing basically.

Alice practically begged to be let on and write stories for them. they only let her go because someone else cancelled last minute.

thats all i have i think hurray!

[hearts401]

20 22 26 for oc ask meme anyone!

i'll do different characters for each then!!

20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? (With Raz <3) He'd probably not really have a way of explaining it. I guess he'd say they're not very different at all. Romantic is impulsive to him, and platonic is familial to him.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (They become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? (With Laika) Very bitter. But like... She's bitter in a petty way. Especially if it's Will she'd taunt him a lot over it. Or she'd just ignore him. Anything that'll drive him up a wall pretty much.

26. What is their preferred mode of transportation? (With Koya) He's only ridden a horse once, but horses. 100%. He loves horses so much.
