Pioneer's Jubilee
It is a day of festivities in Golden City. Pioneer's Jubilee that celebrates the start of Golden City, when the first piece of coal was mined and the success of Golden City started. Most of the citizens are free, except from the Inquisition who are about to face their busiest day of the year. With so much to do it is easy to lose track of the crowd and who mingles within. Extra caution is needed and all Cloaks are summoned and stationed all over the city.
The Land celebrates this with a rare day off for the miners and for most of the human factory workers. A fanfare can be heard and seen through the streets of Golden City and the day seems all the more brighter. At the Center the tinkerers come together to show off their latest developments, advertising what their little shops holds and presenting the progress of their harsh labour and research.
With the festival the Pioneer's house in The Sky is free to visit for all as well. This also means by extension that the citizens can get an elevator ride up for free. It is one of the reasons why special attention is given to the upper layer of the city.
Another reason, and the most important of all, regards the Council. With Pioneer's Jubilee the Council makes a rare public appearance together. Every year they announce and introduce their newly appointed president and vice-president to the public. However, the appointments of these positions is never a surprise as the Council tends to stick to their choices of the previous year. What is more exciting, however is how the Council is planning to fill up the seat of the lost McAllister family. Last year they could excuse themselves with the story that the McAllister heiress was unable to make an appearance yet. However, with years passed since the incident the public is demanding for the seat to be finally filled proper. The hope is that they will elect someone from the Land. The question is, how and who?
Despite all the happiness and celebration there are also dark clouds ahead. The Pioneer's Jubilee is also the day in which the cults make their rise again. These who worship the Pioneer as some sort of deity and these who have become obsessed with the mystery surrounding the founder of the city all rear their heads today. Another headache for the Inquisition to deal with, it seems.

Weather
The weather seems to favour Pioneer's Jubilee well. The smog rate in the city is low, enabling the people to see rare patches of the blue air as well as a glimpse of The Sky. Though, it is still advisable to wear a mask when going out. As far as warmth goes, citizens don't necessarily have to wrap themselves up, but it isn't the weather to go out in shorts either. The smog rate is expected to rise up in the night when the temperature drops and the houses need heating again to keep warm.
Chapter Aim
No big plots are happening as of yet, but there are hints of it for the careful reader. This is your chance to explore Golden City and get acquainted with the layers. I hope to set up a solid base for all on what sort of place Golden City is and to get to know the citizens living within. Since this starting point only has one thread I advise all to indicate their character's location within the post as to avoid confusion. I hope that with future expansions of the plot we will be able to organise it over several threads to replicate the layers of the city.
