NOTES: This is unfortunately the last of the notes I had written ahead of time so things may move slower. Hopefully I've made enough posts that you all can understand the format I'm going for. Joyce's Reality Lowdown is going to take a long time to work through
Shivers - Winter, slow to let go of Revachol, flecks some more wet snow from above...
You - Look around you.
Shivers - The snow falls lazily, making the beach sand paler still, mixing with the rust-coloured sewage run-off.
Shivers - And to think -- it seemed as though it were already spring.
You - How does it feel?
Shivers - Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. To distract yourself, you look around...
Replaced with "Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. The toes of your one bare foot are growing numb. To distract yourself, you look around..." if HasShoes() == false and (CheckEquipped("shoes_snakeskin_left") or CheckEquipped("shoes_snakeskin_right"))
Replaced with "Your teeth chatter as the snow melts on your exposed skin, running down your chest and your back in icy rivulets. Your bare feet are growing numb. To distract yourself, you look around..." if HasShoes() == false
You - What's in the west?
Shivers - More winding coastline lined with abandoned buildings. Crumbling piers, salt water lapping at their dark piles. Grey and red, forgotten city blocks. What remains of the pre-revolutionary effort to gentrify the coast.
You - And beyond that?
Shivers - The waters turn black. Coal City in the shadow of Saint-Martin, a boom town, back when coal extracted from countless shafts near the city was needed to power Revachol.
Shivers - No more. The coal was supplanted by petroleum from the ocean floor and hydropower from the Esperance. Everything crumbled. These days, only the weakest remain in Coal City. Their hopes of getting rich linger in the defunct shafts under their feet.
You - What is there?
Shivers - Below the old mines -- L'Ossuaire Municipal, Revachol's underground cemetery. *Les petits rats* brave the underground passageways, trying to get to Le Royaume...
You - Le Royaume...
Shivers - ...where the Filippian kings were interred, with their doctors and their admirals. Mausoleums, burial chambers, leaf gold still remains on the Double Door of the Morning.
You - That's where Cuno said he's gonna go...
Shivers - Yes. To peel the gold off with his fingernails.
You - Les *petits rats*...
Shivers - Children under 14. They go underground, looking for artefacts to sell to foreign museums -- and for fabled relics. Their parents let them. They go deeper...
You - Deeper...
Shivers - ...after rubies, melchiorite, lapis lazuli plundered from Safre and Seol during the time of the Suzerain. In the burial chambers of the kings: Grand Old Filippe, Guillaume II, and even in the mausoleum of Filippe the Opulent.
Shivers - Two kilometres underground, in a winding shaft along whose walls mirrors have been placed so that daylight may eternally fall upon the richest of all the kings.
Shivers - The mausoleum contains untold quantities of gold -- and that special, purest-of-the-pure magenta cocaine favoured by Revacholian royalty.
Electrochemistry - Did someone say *untold quantities of cocaine*? Drop everything immediately and go looking for this hoard!
Logic - How can it be pure if it's magenta?
You - Wipe the snow from your shoulder.
Shivers - Few *petits rats* return from the shafts -- and even fewer find what they're looking for. A small child steps out of a black tunnel, with silver trinkets in her pockets.
Shivers - All around her, white snow on the extinguished coke furnaces, and on the weather-worn shacks, where fathers beat their sons after drinking. The snow melts on your fingers, turning to water.
You - What's in the east?
Shivers - The canal you crossed to get here, and beyond it -- Martinaise proper, the district the police forgot to police. There is laughter, lights, attempts at entrepreneurial activity, cynicism.
Shivers - Someone is scraping snow off their windshield. At the roundabout, in the midst of which a statue of Filippe the III serves as a destination for grade-school field trips and a fine perch for winter birds.
You - And further...
Shivers - A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood.
Replaced with "A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. You've seen it. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood." if Variable["jam.dlc_truck_shivers_orb_done"]
Replaced with "A fenced-off yard. There's a truck belonging to a logistics company parked next to the gate. You've heard about it. Bright light from a building behind the fence reflects off its hood." if Variable["village.idiot_cocaine_dlc"]
Conceptualization - Clean white light, coming from the windows of a clean cube-shaped office building hidden amidst ruins. A secret...
You - What's in the north?
Shivers - The abandoned church. One of two remaining stave churches which were collectively called les Sept Soeurs. The other six sisters were destroyed during the Revolution.
You - And further north?
Shivers - A serpentine strip of land weaving its way into the Martinaise inlet. Unfortunates on the run -- from the law, from themselves -- sometimes hide out on nearby islets. Little dots in the ocean that are occasionally submerged when the tide is high and the weather foul.
You - And on the islets?
Shivers - The remains of a camp on a jagged piece of rock -- a tent, old dishes and cutlery. Long since abandoned. A hermit crab scuttles among the debris, looking for a new shell.
Shivers - Further out, the lights burn bright on Résurrection; way beyond Martinaise -- a popular spa destination for ample-bodied Ozonne kids with equally ample pockets.
You - And on the other side of the inlet?
Shivers - Then there's Ozonne... but the snow falls too thick. You cannot see that far.
You - Before that? Before the curtains are drawn...
Shivers - The Bay of Revachol, vastness, great depth -- over 1200 m at its deepest. Water, air brinier than here. It is crisscrossed by huge cargo ships bearing company logos: Wild Pines, ZAMM, Moriyn.
Shivers - And, at the farthest reaches of the Bay of Revachol -- the shadow of Coalition Warship Archer, on perpetual patrol duty, ready to unleash artillery fire if you were to rise up against the market. You shudder.
You - What's in the south?
Shivers - The raised motorway, 8/81, separating Martinaise from Jamrock. Vehicles whoosh past one another day and night, while those who reside in the labyrinthine alleyways beneath the motorway attempt to carry on with their lives in the snow and the slush. And south of the 8/81 is the Pox.
You - The Pox...
Shivers - ...was once a park, a place for reflection and recuperation for the patients of the Old Military Hospital. In the Twenties, it was used as a quarantine centre during a measles outbreak that killed many children. Most everyone has avoided the hospital and surrounding park ever since.
Shivers - The Pox is completely wild now. Evergreen thickets covered in snow and industrial dust. Feral dogs and even wolves roaming in packs. The police try to keep the deepest corners cordoned off.
You - But still...
Shivers - ...heavy drug users do slip through and hole up in the Old Military Hospital, hoping to find something to get high on among the hastily abandoned supplies. Or just to overdose in peace.
You - Further south...
Shivers - A line of motor garages with armoured carapaces, hunched in the cold. A mechanic is hard at work, patching up bullet holes in the side of a Coupris 40. These are the garages of Precinct 41. Snow settles on the roof of the re-purposed silk mill that serves as your station. Shivering RCM personnel hurry in and out of the main entrance.
Mack Torson - "Wonder if Vic's found his hetero-sexual life partner yet." The man in the fishnet wifebeater looks over at Chester McLaine.
Chester McLaine - "Damn, I don't know. Even a real *bröderbund* like that can't survive everything..."
Shivers - Around you, the snow continues to fall. To the west, the ocean swells.
You - No, it was home. I want more.
Shivers - The stairs descend -- to Central Jamrock. A man named Kuklov has a snow-covered stall there, in the market across the bridge. He sells kebab infested with fly larvae to your colleagues who believe eating it will make them immune to food poisoning.
Shivers - Snow falls on the utility district: the library, the florist, the Saramirizian restaurant that offers homemade wine. And also on the brothels and drug dens, and the chop shops of the zemlyaki.
Shivers - All of this built around a lake that formed in a meteorite strike. At the centre of this lake, there is a little ship. There are lights at the bottom of its hull. They are lights directed toward the sea floor, looking for something, like whiskers...
You - For what?
Shivers - A chill comes over you, crawling down your back. The sand under your feet is wet. Somewhere in the south, tarpaulin flap in the wind.
You - What's below me?
Shivers - Layer upon layer of sand poisoned with industrial run-off. The storm drainage. Hidden bunkers. Rats scuttle...
You - Tell me a secret of the sands, wind.
Shivers - Someone's stuffed a big old polar anorak into a concrete pipe under the boardwalk. It would keep you warm. You will probably never happen across it, but who knows.
You - Stomp your feet for warmth, brushing off the snow. [Finish thought.]
Kim Kitsuragi - "We should keep moving. Who knows when this snow will let up?"
Design, AU, and overall characters here belong to @afrothunderxx96
REALLY a huge fan of the corrupted knights design and overall the snippets of color swap versions of the CTYH cast, it really makes me wonder how the whole CTYH story would have been in that kind of setting.
The idea of Blixer being a Guardian of the artifact while his minions and lycan act likes subjects makes me think of the palace being this huge garden cause the minions are plant shaped! Guardian of the Garden.
Besides that, the corrupted knights really strikes my interest. For some reason I imagine corrupted Cider having this voice similar to Ghostfreak from the original Ben 10 series... that and he strikes as some kind of vampire/ghost with the cloak and all of that. Overall, I love their designs.
been meaning to make this for a while now! a moodboard of the vibes i get off jamrock / how i picture it in my head.
in no particular order the american-centric / romania-centric vibes in my head for jamrock are as follows:
bombed out wwi and wwii buildings, bucharest communist apartment blocks and boston back bay brownstones + new york brownstones for the residential housing projects, detroit for the neglected city (no pictures here, but it's in my mind), pruitt igoe housing project failure for grand couron, hapsburg dynasty palaces for the old suzerainty era monarchy palaces, 1930s new york for the skyscrapers and for the streets with horses/carriages/old cars, 1930s bucharest for the paris / france but to the left vibes + horses/carriages/old cars, enola holmes (netflix movies) and carnival row tv show (amazon prime) for the victorian london industry/factory/corporate negligence and pollution. lots of pollution everywhere
important to note i think of revachol as being the industrial heart of elysium bc it's got no regulations and no taxes. so all the foreign corporations are making bank off revachol, completely taking advantage of her with no care for the consequences. my version of revachol is a hell of factories and pollution and no labor laws. unions only happen if you're lucky or you know who to bribe

JAMROCK is a reggae music project by Charamek
“The stage belongs to the reggae superpower 「Oneness」, which has kept the peace of the nation for many years. But one day, a group called 「Babylon-Nova」 jacked up speakers across the country and declared a revolution in reggae. In no time, he swept the top charts with stimulating music. In response to the chaos caused by the rise of the new forces, the largest ever audition project held across the country, 「Ragga Clash」 attracts selected young people to gather here now for their wealth and fame"

Hello I tried to translate the prologue voice drama tracks of JAMROCK (Music Project) and I’ll share them one by one. The wiki fandom page for it is on the way so I hope JAMROCK will reach more fans ✨✨
Here are the links to the drama track on youtube and spotify. The prologue tracks’ video on youtube is really fun so I’d reccommend watching it
Translation of [Prologue: TRACK01] on below:
[Prologue: TRACK01]
One: Ah, ah~, …. AHEM!! Yo people~! Are you REGGAEing alright?
Yknow today… After eating chicken in morning, somehow, I got a stomachache…
Aah, right, and also, as Oneness organizing, it looks like we’ll be making a country-wide Reggae audition. YA~Y! HAHAHAHA!
If you like Reggae, anyone is welcomed~ If you win the audition, we’ll give you money and the right to make your CD debut.
I'll listen to whatever you say. Hehe.
Listen to the detailed rules by Oneness’ members. I also dunno much anyway.
GYAHAHA!
Well, lately skillful newcomers are being noisy so, I thought I might discover some youngsters~ Somethin like that?
Aah but, FREEDOM ・LOVE ・ PEACE are Oneness’ motto so, get along and have fun ok?
And lastly, this tournament’s name is Ragga Clash! Sounds fun right?
So! ♪ I’m waiting for everyone’s submissions, ok~ Peace out~
Even though I polish here to be sparkling-clean everyday, and rise the water temperature to highest!!
Regular Customer Old Man: What izzit? You’re not satisfied with only me!?
Hideri: It’s not like that! You’re coming here everyday gramps, and I’m super grateful! But….
Regular Customer Old Man: Well, those regular customers from the past all got their legs and foots weakened now, so they became unable to come even if they want to.
I’m the only one left.
Hideri: Gramps…
Regular Customer Old Man: *sigh* Tora Hot Spring in the days when you were little is really nostalgic
In those days, your grandpa was doing well, and there were many customers so it was lively here…
You used to sing a lot in the bath together with your friend…
Hideri: Aah… Stuff like that happened right?
Regular Customer Old Man: Yeah… Is your friend doing well?
Hideri: Hm? Ah—… I haven’t met up with him for a while, so I dunno.
Regular Customer Old Man: Is that so…
Hideri: Is he doing well I wonder, that Tama…
Regular Customer Old Man: *sobs*
Hideri: Huh? Wait, gramps are you cryin’!?
Regular Customer Old Man: *sob* I recalled a lot…
Hideri: Ehh…. Ah, should I wash your back?
Regular Customer Old Man: Hm… Please….
[One: Ah, ah~, …. AHEM!! Yo people!~ Are you REGGAEing alright?]
Hideri: Ah, what?
[One: Yknow today… After eating chicken in the morning, somehow, i got a stomachache…]
Hideri: So it’s the ruler’s management broadcast huh… Whatever
Regular Customer Old Man: Woah…! It’s One Paisen!? Th-Th-Th- That means I gotta go!!
Hideri: Eh….Wait a sec gramps! What about your back!?
Regular Customer Old Man: I’ll come back later~! Uii~~ I’m fired up~~!!
Hideri: Ha!? Where did your tears from just now go to! Before that, get on your clothes! Clothes I said! CLOTHES~~!
*One talking in background*
Hideri: *huff huff* Eh? Gramps already disappeared… Isn’t he too fast…
Anyway, the people of this country really love Oneness huh…
Is Reggae somethin’ that good? I don’t know that much…
[One: And lastly, this tournament’s name is Ragga Clash! Sounds fun right? So! I’m waiting for everyone’s submissions ok~ Peace out~ ]
*cheering sounds*
Hideri: E-Everyone is super fired up….A tournament will be done huh? Well, I don’t have any experience with Reggae so it doesn’t have anything to do with me.
More than Reggae, I think the bath-house is much better though….
It can make your fatigue disappear if you’re tired, can heal you, can warm up your body and heart…
Isn’t it the best?
I want to show a lot more people how good it is. I want to get back the cool old Tora Hot Spring like gramps said…
*sigh* Aah, can’t I make a use of this uprush since it’s a big chance… Making a bathing fee during the event for example…
For now, I gotta just check it out first
Hideri: Heh, info is already out as expected. It’s on top news?
I want Tora Hot Spring to liven up the world like this too— Wait, the one who wins until the end gets 10 Million donza as prize!?
Oi oi, if I got that much money in my hands, reconstruction Tora Hot Spring, no, rebuilding it wouldn’t be a dream!
I can’t be saying I’m inexperienced for this! I have to go!!
WOOOO, I’M ALL FIRED UPPPP!
WAIT AND SEE, 10 MILLION DONZA WILL BE WON BY ME, SENTORA HIDERI HERE--!!!!

Couron
not Grand-Couron [district in jamrock]
The Lower Middle Class
(Possibly the district the GRIH/57th is in?)
Jamrock
Burnt out Quarter in the heart of jamrock
Faubourg
“Almost as bad” and much bigger than Jamrock
Coal City
Poverty district
Martinaise
North of Jamrock
Strip of coast next to the GRIH
1200m distance between bookstore and church
NOTES: Finding the factoid about the distance between the bookstore and the church is HUGE! It gives us more of a scale to the map. I need to track down the conversation sources but i still want to note that Couron and Grand-Couron are separate locations.
Map Wall - Several maps have been attached to a bulletin board hidden inside the alcove. They're held up by small pins. The board has come loose from one corner.
Map Wall - The maps look old and faded. Your eye catches a map of Insulinde, a map of Revachol, and a map of Martinaise.
You - Look at the map of Revachol.
Map Wall - The north coast of a verdant island is shattered by the delta of a river. It is the River Esperance. Countless bridges put the shards back together, connecting city blocks to river islands. *La Delta*, says a great, artificial heart in the centre, teeming with lifeforms and construction.
Map Wall - To the east, rolling hillsides: Le Jardin, Stella Maris, the suburbs of Saint-Batiste, swallowed up into the megacity. They sound *rich* to you. This is Revachol East.
You - And west of the river?
Map Wall - Couron. It's somewhere to live. Not bad. Then there's Jamrock -- it's *bad*. People shouldn't live there, but they do. Then Faubourg -- it's almost *as* bad and much larger. Then Coal City. It's the worst.
You - And Martinaise?
Map Wall - It's so small you can't even see it on the map. No... wait. There it is! North of Jamrock, the strip of coast next to the Greater Revachol Industrial Harbour. It looks downright despondent. It's almost Coal City, to be honest.
Shivers - No. Coal City is worse. A charred limb. Rain falls on its slick black streets. And then there's the Burnt-Out Quarter in the heart of Jamrock... is it cold in this bookstore, or is it just *you*?
Volition - No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.
Inland Empire - You feel you're *just* west of Coal City. Somewhere above Jamrock and close to Coal City.

Kiiyan has joined a new reggae-themed character project: JAMROCK. He plays 22 year old military geek Ruisaki Jyukou.
In a land held together by the power of reggae music, a rival musician is rocking the boat. So the leader of the ruling band Oneness, has called for a country-wide audition: Raga Clash.
Listen to Kiiyan as Ruisaki here:
I was listening to music before going to sleep, and didn't realize autoplay was on which led me to the discovery of this hidden gem. Forget sleep, my night turned into a party!
my heart @ 1:22 though!!!! If it's possible to fall in love with a voice then it was at that moment 🫠💘
I immediatly went to check who the seiyuu was and of course it was ✨Yuto Uemura✨😍
