Neo New Orleans · Year 19
The household starts its own record.
The Board calls the hum running through the drowned wards civic maintenance. At the Anvil, Yvonne Celestin sets seven bowls for six living mouths. Shrine water rises against gravity, the hum goes rough, and the household records what the city wants filed away.
DISSONANCE follows the people who keep Ward 7 fed, connected, and answerable to one another through relay logs, ration ledgers, witness testimony, and case reports.
