14 for the settings game for rowan
Rowan: #14, An amusement or entertainment park, with loud and bright attractions and various games and snacks.
At least Rowan has a skill set that is universally adaptable – everyone needs someone to clean up. Living in the Circustime settlements on Halcyon means nonstop exposure to carnival music and noises, flashing lights (especially at night), crowds, and cheap popcorn everywhere. The atmosphere can drive an anxious person a little nuts.
And the clothes. Oh, God (or Architect), the clothes. It’s not the fashions themselves – Halcyon is very strict about dress codes – it’s the colors. The flair. The approved use of clown white as makeup.
When Rowan’s escape pod lands near a Circustime settlement, and Phineas Welles explains the need to overthrow the board? Rowan’s wholeheartedly behind it. Clown Town is a nightmare, and if this is typical of Halcyon, the whole thing has to come down.
