You are standing on the roof of the Bartlett Building, a tall grey-stone building with a squared roof. The wind is cool and whistles across the roof-top.
- It has been a while since you have looked across the city without a name from height. Nothing has changed because nothing has happened. Then was for a time ago. Now is for nothing.
That is not completely true. Everything is happening in your narrative.
Far in one direction is thick green of forest; far in a second direction are tall modern buildings spaced by short ones. You can see clearly from here an industrial district, with heavy blocks that are warehouse buildings, and smoke stacks that are uneven and grey.
In a third direction, in the direction that you think the correct one, you look for something like Latrobe, whatever such a building may look like, and whose description may be in your notebook that you may or may not have scoured properly for such description. But there is a fairly tall and very fancy building that is unlike any building you have seen––not like Blackmore, which was reverse-domed at the top. This building, with ribbed, vertical struts providing a sense of looks and not function, with a faint and impossible light at the top, indeed so faint that the colour is unclear––and underneath that and interior to the struts the many windows reflect the scenery in grey and a sad blue––and with all this together, this definitely is Latrobe.
Latrobe could be ugly; you are not quite sure; but it appears important and expensive. Its conflicting exposure to the aged design of all the buildings around it, and which forms an island of esteem and something else, seems to match the notebook's map. It is definitely Latrobe.
Possible actions:
- Go to what is definitely Latrobe
Inventory:
- You carry a knife; a journal and a notebook; a bloodied radio and a flare gun. You have a shotgun (2), a pistol (12) and three spare magazines inside your vest pouches. You are wearing a tactical vest, blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of shoes.
