D6This future crime city
1is flame-scarred, charred and dim in the smoke-filtered light, perpetual blazes towering titanic over its skyline.
2is collapsing into its own over-loaded & aquifer-drained foundations, leaning skyscrapers making a labyrinthine arcade of its downtown.
3is crampedly-dense and piled upon itself, ever-bright gaudy & anarchic architecture jutting together.
4has been overgrown by urban gardens and oppidan farms, a true concrete jungle.
5is sprawling, cracked and sun-baked, the reek of roasted garbage mixing synaesthetically with the heat-haze.
6is always dark, always raining, slick and black with mold - the rich live high and shining with artificial rainbows, the poor barely keep their heads above the flood.
D6Crime became law in this future crime city
1because psychology was proven to be false, meaning it was normal to be like the Joker.
2because a corrupt corporate pothead pushed through legislation that made it mandatory to include marijuana oil in fuel, filling the city with a narcotic smog of slovenly belligerence.
3because libertarians went too far, and made everything legal.
4because liberals went too far, and made it illegal to arrest anyone.
5because of the rising of Cthulhu out of the ocean, or something near enough like him, which caused a localized psychic zone wherein the sensitive were driven to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves.
6because the keys to the city were given to a nefarious character, who then used them to unlock all manner of mayhem upon it.
D6The mayor of this future crime city
1is a fiery reformer who is currently being held for ransom by a gang of former mailmen who can throw paper with deadly accuracy.
2is an inveterate playboy by day, but by night dons a costume and beats up those who oppose his criminal enterprises.
3is an actual, literal goblin, summoned up from the underworld by the city's chaos.
4is secretly gathering all the most evil criminals in the city to overthrow the federal government and have himself elected as crime minister.
5is a musclebound blockhead installed by those who assumed he was as dumb as he looks - though he isn't, and has his own subtle agenda.
6is a feckless and sweaty appeaser, making regular televised appearances to tell people that everything is fine in the city - though it most assuredly is not.
D6The good fight in this future crime city is still fought
1by a cell of militantly pacifist Quakers, whose non-violence ends up helping them as much as it hinders.
2by a convoy of cyber-truckers fused to their vehicles by a mad scientist.
3by the luchador Tremendo Rex - though he has been struck down several times he always returns - in truth his mask is lined with magneto-cybernetics, which allow his personality to possess anyone who wears it.
4by a crew of kind-hearted though abjectly freakish vigilantes who wear ratty old mascot costumes.
5by a citizens' militia as anal-retentively disciplined as the city is anarchic.
6by a commune of troglodytic cannibals, who aren't moral paragons by any means yet still relatively decent sorts for this city.
D6The public transit of this future crime city
1is streetcars, but they have been taken over by hoodlums and equipped with bladed rails that carve their tracks into any surface.
2is a subway system - all the cars have been joined together, each converted into a mobile den of vice, together a veritable hell on wheels.
3is a rickety monorail - and the price of admission now is to go "mono a mono" with another rider.
4was dismantled for scrap, though death-trappy gondolas and ziplines are constantly being set up to fill the void.
5was some ferries, now converted into the floating fortresses of crime-lords.
6is buses, now bristling with welded-on armour and mounted guns.
D6The popular new drug on the streets of this future crime city
1is "speckled jenkem" - the fumes of fermented feces from people infested by mutant tapeworms - its high is often compared to suffocating in the warm and nourishing confines of a giant's lower intestine.
2is the lost (and now found) episode of a defunct podcast - it is of such perfect mediocrity that listening to it induces a blissful torpor.
3is adrenochrome extracted from the brains of terrified people - no longer exclusive to the elites, now everybody can get a hit.
4is the powdered horns of wooly rhinoceroses - a species transgenically re-created in this city due to its lax scientific ethics, to the dismay & crushing deaths of many. Snorting the keratinous stuff prionically reshapes brain-tissue, imbuing the user with false memories and feelings of prehistoric majesty.
5is "the derp", a strain of herpes which causes lesions on your genitals & your prefrontal cortex, causing libidinally-charged and uncomfortably-Freudian hallucinations.
6is "black ice" - a sentient variant of crystal meth which grows parasitically in and on its users, and links them into a psychotic hive-mind.
