Welcome to Celeste Cit- HEY! WATCH WHERE YA GOING!
Listen come here. I’m gonna give you a little tip. This bustling city ain’t for the weak so you better toughen up or get eaten alive. If you see anything, no you didn’t. Its none of your business so stay out of it. The cops come snooping around like starving hounds on the prowl every now and then so it might be in your best interest to avoid ’em unless you wanna be interviewed every time to see what you know. Any secrets about the rebellion and what not. Oh, speaking of the rebellion, their name’s the Claws. They do underground work tryin to overthrow the government and their members are scattered all across the city. Trust, you do not wanna get in their way. Especially that smug brat they call the Shadow, she may look young but I witnessed her easily take down three cops with my own eyes. Aye don’t give me that look, there’s nothing to fear. They’re good folk on an actual righteous mission to save people like you and me while those rich pigs in the government try to keep us beneath their boots. But that’s all for now. So once again, welcome to Celeste City. And good luck . . . you’re gonna need it.
The Inspiration
This post was inspired by Create a Place from the assignment bank which gave the directions of using sound to create a place. For mine I chose to bring Celeste City to life since that is where my character Runa Starr aka the Shadow lives. I used Audacity for my audio editing. Since it is a cyberpunk themed city I thought it would be cool to make it based off of New York city so I used audio sound effects from the city like sirens, people talking, car alarms, and the sound of footsteps are also included to portray walking on the sidewalk. Lastly, I added in spaceship sound affects in the background because in a futuristic city I am sure they would have highly advanced technology like aircrafts. My script above was originally supposed to be included in the audio with an Ai generated New York accent voice, but none of the free voice generators sounded realistic enough and the other apps like Canva required payment for using long scripts for voice acting. So instead I just made the script readable while the Celeste City sounds play in the background.
