Jacob
Jacob hurried down the quiet street, his arms full of blueprints and notebooks. He couldn't wait to get to his workshop and finish the project he had been planning. He skidded to a halt in front of a short brown building and went inside. This was his workshop, where he build everything from book shelves to engines. Usually he spent his time here planning and improving his own inventions for his engineering class, but every once in a while someone would come in to buy or request something. Jacob went behind the desk in the back of the shop, and into a second room. He set his papers own and began working.

Ashwin
Ash shrugged the jacket on and checked himself in the mirror. Good enough. Slipping the tazer into his belt, Ash left the building and headed into the street for patrol. Eyes and ears open for the amiss, he walked down the street. He would walk his sector many times throughout his shift.

Nyla
She giggled as her friend Jonah went tumbling, having gone down the slide a little too fast. He picked himself back up and brushed himself off. The sound of his mother calling him from the house reached the two kids. They said goodbye and Jonah hurried into the house. Nyla walked away, heading into the streets. She looked up at the sky and grimaced. Even that looked off. How could you poison the sky? Memories of the pure earth came to her. It had been a subtle, yet pretty rapid, decline into this mess. Before anyone knew it, really. The signs had been there, though. Nyla sighed.

Desiree
Another day in the city. Desiree sighed as she settled into her swiveling office chair at the security station, focusing her attention on the monitors.

Skye
Skye tugged the right sleeve of her jacket farther down over her wrist. She knew people couldn't tell that she wasn't completely human, but she still felt self conscious. Who wouldn't, when half your body was made up of metal? Skye hoped that she was inconspicuous enough not to be noticed, although most of her long strawberry blonde hair was visible and only the majority of her face was shadowed in the hood of her jacket. 

Mason
 Mason sighed in mild boredom, tossing his cigarette onto the ground. He stood up from where he had been sitting on the steps of an abandoned warehouse, brushing off his pants and repositioning the strap of his bag on his shoulder before finally heading away from the building. The destination that he had in mind was an old grocery store nearby, which would probably be a risk-free trip, though one could never be sure, considering the copious amount of patrols.

Perry
 Perry gently adjusted the overhead sprinkler, nodding in satisfaction when the light spray of water fell upon the small flowers. He took a few steps to the right, once again reaching up to adjust another sprinkler. As he fiddled with it, the sprinkler seemingly didn't want to cooperate, which at one point resulted in a burst of cold mist getting sprayed in his face. He angrily pushed the sprinkler into place, wiping the water off of his face, which was splotched turquoise with shock from the sudden cold. "I need a raise," Perry muttered, grabbing a stained hand towel from the table behind him and using it to wipe off his dirt-covered hands.

Skye
Skye ducked quickly into a corner as a patrolling policeman passed. She took deep breaths in an attempt to steady her racing heart. Don't let them see you. If you're discovered, we'll have a problem.

Ashwin
It was way too quiet today, which always made Ash suspicious. He didn't understand why anyone would want to go against the Head, but people did. Rules were there for a reason. That's why Ash was honored to have been put on patrol, enforcing those rules. He glanced about. A few people walked past, people Ash recognized. Heading to their employment offices like they always did at this time. He narrowed his eyes, hand automatically reaching for his taser. Something was amiss today. He glanced behind him, to the place he had just passed. There was someone in the shadows of a corner, someone he had completely missed. Get it together, Ashwin. He approached her, keeping his posture relaxed. No need to be threatening unless a problem occurred. "Hello, miss. May I ask what you're doing hiding in a corner?" 

Nyla
Nyla was still staring at the sky glumly when her foot hit an uneven patch on the walkway and she tripped forward, running into a pole she hadn't seen. "Ow," she complained, rubbing her forehead and glaring at the pole as if it was its fault she hadn't been paying attention. She stepped around it and looked about her, wondering where she had wound up. Cool! A section of town Nyla hadn't yet explored. Cheerily, she kept walking, looking about her. No signs restricted the area, so she wouldn't get in trouble for being here.

Skye
Good one. Don't get caught, you say. "Oh, officer! I've gotten a bit turned around- I don't usually leave my neighborhood. Could you point me in the direction of main street?" 

Ashwin
"Of course. It's that way." Ash pointed toward Main Street, which was a few blocks away. He knew how easy it was to get lost in the city. He and the other patrolmen had helped countless people find their way back to their homes.

Skye
Skye nodded. "Thank you. I'll be on my way. Have a nice day!" she said as she walked in that direction. At least he didn't see your face.

John
The small wailing as she was passed over made John made him frown down at the baby with concern, even more so when her cries turned to spluttering, small body racked by large coughs. "Hi, sweetheart." He murmured, moving to the door at the back of the large entrance room. "-You can definitely visit tomorrow, though." He told the fussing parents as they exited and he nudged the door with his shoulder, stepping through and running right into someone. "Oh, Hey Lawrence!" The young nurse grinned, and he returned the smile. "Hey, Chelsea." He handed over the baby, and she grimaced. "She's got bronchiolitis, can you take her to Nia? My shift ended half an hour ago, and I'm really due home." The girl nodded, heading down the corridor. "Poor little thing!" He hung his long coat on a free peg in the hall, slinging his small bag over his shoulder and heading out the door. He walked for a while, watching the dark ashy sky lightening into...... a slightly lighter ashy sky, and eventually he turned right onto a tiny side street, patting down his pockets for his keys. "Uh oh..."

Skye
Once she was out of sight of the patrolman, Skye ducked through side streets and alleys in no particular order. She didn't quite know where she was headed, but she found that her wandering method led to many interesting insights about what was really going on in the city.

Ashwin
He continued down his route, being careful to keep his eyes and ears open this time. That had been a blunder, not seeing the girl at first. He couldn't mess up like that. He liked this job, and wanted to be good at it. Ash tipped his hat to a supervisor who walked past. He was ignored. The man was probably busy, and Ash was too. That was normally how the exchanged went, anyway.

Nyla
This area looked more rundown than other areas of town. Nyla stooped to pick up a round stone. Holding it in her palm, she noted the pretty blue color. Natural? Probably not. She discarded it and continued walking.

Jacob
Jacob lifted his tool chest onto his worktable and picked out a small screwdriver. He picked up a small trinket and tightened a few screws. He had been working on this for many days, and it was nearly finished. Soon, he would bring it to his professor for a grade. He never got any of his inventions back, though, so he kept his favorites to himself.

Desiree 
Desiree watched an exchange between someone undoubtedly familiar and one of the patrolling authorities. Where do I know that person? 

Skye
Skye literally almost ran into a guy still wearing his medical uniform, since the street was so narrow. I have to be more careful.
