HECK CITY STRUCTURE/ORGANIZATION

Like the internet, Heck City is used for specific sets of things, but in Heck City all these things are grouped together in physical zones, and they resemble metaphors of what they're about.

NEWS - Made completely of glass, every single cell has glass walls. You can see everything going on everywhere in this zone, even if you can't hear it from your room. People unlucky enough to get a personal scheme here have to deal with the zero privacy and 4 glass walls in your personal space. All current events around the globe are reported and shared and spread here, with runners that carry news to other parts of Heck City being an important service. Smells like ink.

It's field of influence inflects a black and white WW2 edward r murrow, watergate, paranoiac, film noir sensibility to everything it borders.

People who live here are called Sorkins? Dittoheads?

SEX - Made of wallpaper and candle wax, smells like cheap perfume. This is where people go to indulge their lust, and it is the largest, most populated section. Most people who find their cells in this zone are gross lonely people who've been trying to get here and stay here, because they have no reason to leave. The obsessed and gross.

Runners from here are sex workers that go on call, and make good livings.

The zone inflects a furtive, sensual, lurid red or ultraviolet glow to everything it borders, like a CSI or late night cop show. People who spend most of their time here or live here are called chans or channers or incels.

INTERTAINMENT - the movie and tv zone, made of iconic movie sets. Fantastical, huge theatrical plays, unbelievably real productions that involve the audience. Smells faintly of B.O. and ozone.

Runners from here are standup comics.

Everything has a glitzy, schmaltzy, overblown vibe that borders this. Think bright as fuck camera lights, everything is stressful and embarrassing and on the verge of breakdown that borders this zone. It's like intense, needless drama, like fake scenes on reality television.

BUSINESS - the trading floor and shop district. Everything is grey, grey walls and grey furniture, the lights are grey. All the trading of elan and shopping is done here. Smells like money.

Runners are bag men, sending and accepting money.

The borders of business are reflected by a horribly boring, office culture vibe, a kind of bean counter, sad sack vibe.
