You imagine a
map of the city as you understand it, a remarkably accurate one in fact. Even if you don't know what some areas are called.
You also consider your current social circle, if it could be called that.
Of course there is Annabelle, your older sister, maid to the regent's cousin. She's only a servant but she's a servant of royalty so she always has food and a roof over her head. She lives in fairly cramped servant accommodation just outside the royal compound. The two of you have looked after each-other ever since your parents died in that tragic and unexplained explosion.
There is also Olf Flinn, Blasted Olf as some call him, you were both apprentices at the same time and although he went on to study 'explomancy' as he calls it. He's employed at fort Anderson and used to get you work there repairing the automatic cannons on occasion. The last year or so they have made a policy of employing their own Mechanists on a permanent basis.
There is also Garrick Browning. He's a guardsman prone to embezzlement, gambling and drinking, he also practices poetry and dancing since which gives him the image as quite a classy gent. You can't remember when you met Garrick but he's also good friends with Olf since they both work at the fort. He's happy to lend a hand if you or Olf need any muscle(for a minor fee of course).
There is also Susan, less a friend, more a reason you can't go to the garden markets anymore. You didn't know the public flowerbeds outside her shop were 'hers' so when you tried to take one of the flowers home (to pot and put by the window) she ran out and nearly beat you to death with the pot.
310 Yollars is a fair amount. Bread costs about 2yl and most machine parts cost around 2-10 depending on their size and complexity, Swelterstone costs anywhere from 20yl to 30yl.
It took quite a while to do the map since my first attempt was a pretty big failure. So I'm just going to leave it at this. Next update I can either move you downstairs or zap you straight to the markets. I'll also address what kinds of things you can make.
