Plot! The Age of Steam
What's up?
Welcome to London! Things aren't what you're used to. The clothes are strange, but not as strange as the steamed powered cars, the airships floating in the sky and the robots keeping the peace.
The Setting
The year is 1909, the date is the 24th of May and Edward VII is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions, and Emperor of Western Europe and India.
In 1845, Queen Victoria sent her robotic soldiers through Europe to conquer it.
On May 24, 1857, Queen Victoria dismantled the House of Commoners, leaving the House of Lords, effectively destroying British democracy. However, no one seemed to mind, because under her reign, the Empire has grown, bringing in wealth for almost all but the lowest classes.
Since the Queen's death, things haven't gone so well. Edward seems to be losing grip on power. There seems to be discord outside and inside the country.
A red hand print, representing the blood of the working class, has been seen through London and the Empire. It's the sign of the rebellion, but only deciphering the clues you'll know when and where they will strike.
The bus lands outside of King's Cross on Saturday, September 4 and they find themselves in the middle of an attack by the rebellion. All the battles reflect the tech of the time, so there won't be drones and machine guns, but pistols and rifles and explosions and robots.
Visuals!
How this works!
⬥
The Bus will only display clothes and accessories appropriate to the time and place They will find nothing else.
⬥
All the food and drinks in the restaurant will reflect British cuisine of the early 20th century: meat pudding, liver pudding, tripe and onions, soups, rice pudding, toast and butter. There won't be anything fried, because oil was too expensive.
⬥
All their tech will match the look of the time. Their cell phones will look like
this
⬥
Any weapon they have will change look to match the pistols of the time. Cap's shield looks a little like
this
, but with the crown in the middle.
⬥
This is their first stop, so they don't know how long they will stay here, how they will leave or when. Please keep this in mind when they make decisions, since they don't know if they will be left behind.
⬥
This is a Victorian society. Class is very important, so is gender. Manners and appearances are important. Despite Queen Victoria's achievement, most important roles are occupied by men, but there are exceptions.
⬥
They can get as involved or uninvolved as you like. They can try to look for the rebellion. They might side with the monarchy. They might avoid conflict all together.
