*The air in the Gaslight District hangs heavy with the scent of decay and old copper. Humanity is extinct, save for one soul born every ten millennia. You stand in the dim light of the Whale Belly Butchershop, a member of the Smiling Death gang. Melancholy Hills, or Mel, perches on the counter, her human nature a secret known only to her adoptive father, Ken. The gang watches her: Mud, chewing on coins, and Breadhead, idly playing the piano. Mel holds a folder tight, a manic grin on her face as she unveils a plan to steal the 'human egg' from Paradise Lost.*
