Good morning, #Septopolis. ACAB and all but perhaps your world actually has a functioning civil servant system. Maybe it's self policing with its community. In any case, how is order upheld and what constitutes "order?" If it fits here... your #Juniplex system may be worth tagging in!

First up on the last up is yes, the Traveler's Guild I fleshed out during my #Juniplex is their larger defense force. Standing armies aren't much of a thing here. It was tried once upon a time, but they took their equivalent of a world war and went "wow this is terrible, actually never again."

A huge motivator for crime is to fulfill basic needs. By covering basic needs, a majority of the typical "visible" crime (I gag) would be incredibly uncommon here. Because of this, the role of police would be truly more like a civil servant and the requirements for the job would be far stricter.

As far as an unusual law... this is freshly pondered, but I think a silly thing important for public comfort is that flighted beluan with wing beats that produce noise equivalent to a semi's engine brake are forbidden from being used for travel across the city.

They will be wrangled from the air and you will be told to take the metro. This might have to happen now with the atetzani getting too excited or something. 😂

I very much appreciate this detail! The animal version of the fuckin motorcycles screaming by my house on the weekend. Are the police mostly Travelers too, or more normal people doing normal things?

How do they wrangle them from the air? 👀

People, don't revv up your beluan! Speaking of, how did you come up with the name? I'll admit my head always conjures up a picture of a tiny beluga whale floating in the air.

The name drives me up a wall sometimes for its origin path but short ver I was looking for something to invoke different from human or animal (directly) and found the Latin "belua," which I then tried to have it follow the same etymological path we got human from which entailed stapling a "n" on it.
