Description

The trickle of water is the first thing you hear. You always hear it. If you scent the air, you could be forced to vomit on the spot. The scent of feces, waste products and the sickly smell of rot wafts up from anywhere nearby, so much that the only aerating holes for the undercity of Carcosa are left to be present in the underdeveloped, or underfunded districts.

There are two levels of the undercity, the sewers, and then underneath that, where the modern-day Carcosa was built on top of it, and is often dripping with sea water and swarms of rats, spiders, roaches and other such undesirable scavengers. Either part is accessible, but long ago did the sewer workers choose to only do their maintenance during the daytime, with excessive amounts of light. No, there are no alligators in these sewers, but there has been other things in the waist-high refuse in places.

One of the most dangerous jobs in Carcosa is working in the waste management tunnels. It pays well, but then most people still won't take that blue-collar job. Still, there are those that do, and none of them will go into the oldest parts of the undercity, if they go past the normal junctions at all. Occasionally, people wish their houses to have escape passages down into the wretched darkness of the Undercity, and these people just shake their heads and wonder why. Don't they know that tunnels work two ways? Nevertheless, they work on it during the days - with flood lamps burning in all directions.

Even still, with such precautions taken... sometimes, little skitters of noises still sound from the depths. Workers generally call it an early day when they do; the carbon monoxide count in the air is too high, they say. Anything to justify it to themselves and their superiors to get the hell out of there. Their superiors know, though. They've been down there before, too...
