Please tell me about hot time is currency in your wip.

Sooo I'll start with some exposition: the setting of my wip, CLOCKED OUT, is the city of Klairva, which floats in the middle of the sky like a minecraft skywars island. Legend says that Klairva, along with a handful of other known cities, was pulled from the crust of the Earth by the hands of gods—in Klairva's case, this god is known as the Clockmaker, who dictates the passage of time. However, the Clockmaker has been dead for centuries, and left in his wake are the Cardinals: strange "magicians" who are half-human, half-monster and can warp time to their liking. Klairva has since fallen into an aristocracy where the wealthy Cardinals rule with an iron fist—controlling the masses with their only advantage, time itself.

Now for the actual currency part...

Upon birth, every citizen is issued a pocket watch. This watch constantly ticks, moving counterclockwise from the 1 o'clock position toward 12 o'clock. The position of the clock hands depends on the time in the user's bank; for instance, someone with a wealthy amount of time (100+ years) will see the time of their pocket watch as 1 o'clock—the farthest it can be from 12. Someone with a poor amount of time (<1 year) might see their watch as reading 12:15 or 12:10. Watches that strike 12:00 (when all 3 hands meet at 12) essentially represent someone who has run out of time, or in other words, someone who is "clocked out."

(note that most watches don't start ticking until 12 years after birth. from then on, the child must find their own source of income or receive support (e.g. parents transferring their own time to their children) to prevent being clocked out. the watches, as godly magical artifacts, are indestructible, and will always reappear within someone's general vicinity if they have been lost/discarded. in addition, the exact value of time one has left is printed on the watch's clock face—counting down in year/month/day/hour/minute/second form.)

The watch, which serves as a "bank," is also the medium of transactions. With no physical currency, transaction and business in Klairva works similarly to credit/debit cards of the modern age—an amount is willed forth, the two watches make contact, and the exchange is done.

But wait, you might be wondering, if you're a multi-millionaire in this world, couldn't you technically achieve immortality and NEVER run out of time?

Well... no. The thing is, the amount reading on the watch doesn't represent how long until you die; it's how long until you clock out. People can still die from disease, violence, etc. despite having centuries left on the watch, just like perfectly healthy people can clock out if the watch strikes 12. So it's quite common for the desperate to hold people at gunpoint and demand a year or two. Most rich would rather hand over the time than get a bullet through the skull.

So what happens to those who clock out? Basically no one knows. They just disappear. Known as the timeless or the twelve-struck in urban legends, the general consensus is that the Cardinals whisk them off to eternal hell, a realm with no happiness and constant torture, a fate worse than death. But of course, the actual fate of the timeless will be uncovered by my lovely characters throughout the course of the story ;)

I think I covered pretty much everything sfkslfslfkwkfl that was a lot! Honestly I'm very scared as to how I'm going to explain all of this in the actual novel without info-dumping like hell, but fuck it I'm just gonna try my best and worry about editing it later LMAO. thank u for reading this far if you did <3

Title: Clocked out

Show/Movie: The Bear

Love interest (s): Carmen Berzatto

Main/Original character: Cleopatra “Cleo” Starkey ; played by Deborah Ann Woll

Writing stages:

Plot? I’d say about 90% done ig? needs some more work

Outline? COMPLETELY FUCKING FINISHED (go me)

Anything actually written? I’m working on the first chapter right now! roughly 1k words in

Posted? Not yet, gonna try and write it all first so ik none of it needs altering, and then I’ll do it chapter by chapter

Edit count? 5 & 1/2

Current focus? Working on some OBX fics rn, so I’ve taken a break but I’ll be right back

Plot details: (the ones I wish to disclose…)

Cleo has been working at The Beef for about six months before Michael dies; Her and Michael grew close over the time they knew each other, eventually starting to see each other outside of work. Often in the evenings, be it getting something to eat, or him walking her home just so they could talk.

Multiple things happen between the two of them (spoilers shh) just before he dies, and so afterwards she kind of retracts away from the restaurant, and into herself as she quietly blames herself for what happened.

Once Carmen shows up, it’s been a few weeks and despite her having seemingly quit with no notice, she tries to get her job back; something Richie was firmly against (again, to be disclosed at a later date), but Carmen wanted all the help they could get and she already knew the kitchen and the crew, so he hires her again. (With a distinct lack of background knowledge)

The second half, follows cleo as she helps the place get back on its feet, and as the relationship between her and Carmy grows more tense. (and then snaps-)

CLOCKED OUT - Character Intros

there's been a bit of radio silence on clocked out recently, so i thought it'd be cool to do an actual intro of the project's major characters :D ! without further ado, with drawings illustrated by yours truly... (+ picrews lmao)

lola ríos velásquez: the mechanic's assistant living in klairva's southern district of snakesborough, and the story's main protagonist. lola is a fierce, determined person who will do anything to protect her family. unfortunately, bad luck seems to follow her wherever she goes - and an unlucky encounter with a Cardinal, one of the city's time magicians, leaves her cursed to run out of time in weeks. desperation to reverse the curse leads her on a frantic quest with some of klairva's most eccentric outcasts...

cuckoo: resident mad scientist of the crow's nest - southern klairva's infamous crime underbelly. she's ambitious, kind of unhinged, and determined to overthrow the cardinals' rule of tyranny using her innovation. when lola shows up at her doorstep, desperate to be saved, cuckoo sees her as an excellent opportunity... for an experiment.

belle macy: a jazz singer in the vibrant clubs of sunswick, the wealthy northern district of klairva. shadowed by a dark past in the effervescence drug trade, belle wants to rise to riches and fame - no matter who or what gets in her way. when she finds out the true identity of her close friend, alaric latcha, she decides to use him as leverage...

alaric latcha: the Cardinal himself! well... Cardinal-in-training. alaric leads a reserved life in the shadow of his father's disapproval - despite being born with time magic in his veins, he's afraid of his own power. with one final chance at redemption, alaric is determined to cast his doubts aside and make his father proud. the shame of it otherwise would be unbearable. besides, his best friend belle is helping him out, so there's no way things can go wrong. right?

rowan wu: the somewhat clueless, charismatic "sidekick" of cuckoo, who claims to owe her a favor. behind his easy smiles, however, lies a complicated past that he's trying to escape from... a past he dulls by doing cuckoo's dirty work. but his involvement in lola and cuckoo's experiment ends up bringing him right back to the past that he so desperately tried to hide.

Another link to this post. Meet the parents style.

So, Danny and Jason have been fake dating for a while now, and ended up marrying each other solely for tax benefits. Also, they got cool ass fucking friendship rings that they just couldn't not wear everywhere and being married is convenient so...

Anywho, so Jason has met Danny's parents but Danny hasn't met Jason's parents. Danny knows that he has some ties with the vigilantee scene due to being a Crime Lord-he still doesn't know what to think of his parents connecting the dots immediately when they only met him once while it took him more than that while living with the guy.

He thinks Jason may have been an ex-vigilantee at some point before turning to crime.

Then Danny gets blinded by rich people aura when he finds out that his bestfriend is the long thought dead child of Bruce Wayne. Frankly, he's insulted.

You mean to tell him that his could've been buying ice cream from that high class place all this time!? He shook (literally he grabbed and shook him) that point into Jason, he doesn't care that Jason never told him he was rich but he could've at least bought some high class ice cream once in a while.

Jason who was busy solidifying his power as a crime lord, avoiding his family and making sure not to leak his identity at all: I'm a literal crime lord, and the only thing you care about is me not buying you ice cream?

Danny: YES!!!!

Jason: Dork.

Right anyways, so Jason takes Danny along to meet Bruce and his fam but did say as soon as he started being uncomfortable they're leaving. The batfam is a bit blindsided by Danny, because they thought Jason was bringing his partner but its good to also get a feel for Danny's personality.

Danny and Jason did what's normal for them when Danny starts getting comfortable around the manor full of things that cost waaay more than his rent. Like half-heartedly insulting each other, being snarky, leaning on each other and other such things.

The batfam start thinking that there's more there than they know of. So they start watching a bit closer and ask a few round about questions that fly over Danny and Jason's heads. They just forget they're married often, unless it's regarding taxes.

All of this sends the wrong message when they walk into the same room and, being nosy, one of the batfam comes up to the door and uh. They hear the bed moving quite a lot.

So.

Meanwhile, Jason is trying to wrestle with Danny because this man does not pick a lane. He'll either be the human octopus (who is cold as hell) Jason has ever seen, he'll try to kick him off the bed in his sleep as if Jason personally offended him in some way, or he'll sleep in some wacky position that interrupts Jason's sleep. The last one is tied to the other two, however.

So, Jason has to frequently wrestle this man into a proper position where they both manage to get some sleep and it wouldn't have been so bad if Danny wasn't a goddamn sleep fighter. He would know, he had to nurse a bruised jaw for a few weeks.

Why do they sleep together? Listen, when you're in an apartment with not a lot of money, you gotta cut costs where you can alright?

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #dcxdp #dc x dp crossover #Danny and Jason are platonically married #I'm not gonna put this in the post but I had a random thought of Jack and Maddie meeting Bruce Wayne and they instantly clock him as Batman #It's not even Maddie #Jack just took one look at him and sniffed out something sus until his himbo brain connects the dots to him being Batman #The thing is they managed to find this out with barely any evidence so they think they might be wrong without knowing that they're actually #right #Anyways #Jason is tired of this mfer Danny and how he sleeps #Every time they go to bed Jason walks into their shared bedroom like he's about to wrestle a fucking bear #The batfam think they be fawking but they actually aren't it's just Jason wrestling to get a good night's sleep #Why did I make this? #I have no clue
