It was time to venture into my large, overhead neighbor, the Sky City. I hadn't been there since the last Mad Scientist Convention, so I was prepared for some changes, and changes I found in spades!
The Control Room was the same...
...as was the end of the city nearest Oxbridge Village, with the Steam Man statue looking over the Looters' Emporium on the left and xxx on the right.
The latest incarnation of Miss Mari Moonbeam's Moonbeams store seems to be in the grasp of a giant hand.
Miss Glorf Bulmer's cafe is dominated by the geared clock on the wall:
Mr. Red Quixote has his wares in the cleverly-named The Eclectic Company:
Next door is Mr. Balpien Hammerer's InMotion Store:
Across the stern is Lady Dawn Starbrook's Starbrook Designs, Ltd....
...and her Blue Moon Teahouse, a touch of Japan in the Steam Sky City.
Also on the aft side is one of the few spots that has remained unchanged: the Worlds' End Cafe and Salon (Miss Magdalena Kamenev, proprietress).
Below, the mighty engines that keep the city aloft:
Next to the Caledon Air Transport offices is Miss Erehwon Yoshikawa's Aetheric Engineering shop, specializing in Fantastical Accessories and Impossible Devices, both of which are desperately needed.
Circling around to the fore starboard side, Dr. Garth Goode has his shoppe, Goode Inventions, stocked with a variety of indispensible doo-dads on the first floor and books on the second. (That reminds me to put out my force field to zap any intruders.)
Looking down the corridor on the starboard side, the first shop contains Kheph's Creations, Writer Steam Works, and E. Laval Aether, carrying a wide selection of Steampunk merchandise. Next is Miss Magdalena Outlander's Luxuria Mystic, carrying limited edition prints. Further down is Hax Autonomous Experiments (Dr. Croquet Hax, prop.).
Last, but not least, are the Steamlander offices (Sir Excalibur Longstaff, ed.).
Whew! I didn't get to every nook and cranny in the city, but that's quite enough for one day. I plan on keeping a careful eye on what my lofty neighbors are up to, so prepare for updates.
