# STEAMPUNK ENVIRONMENTS - KREA2 (natural-language prose)
# Victorian-era (1837-1901) retro-futurism: brass, copper, riveted
# iron, polished wood, leather, glass - never plastic. Steam power,
# clockwork gears, pressure gauges and needle dials, valve wheels,
# copper pipe runs, gas lamps and oil lanterns, furnace glow.
# Includes weird-west settings (frontier saloon, main street) and
# gaslamp-fantasy settings (alchemist's laboratory, churchyard) -
# occult styling stays material, never depicted magic effects.
# Distinctly NOT dieselpunk or cyberpunk: no internal combustion,
# no plastics, electronics, LEDs, neon, chrome, digital readouts,
# or glowing elements beyond flame, ember, moonlight and limelight.
# Composition: counted single objects and one anchor structure per
# line, with explicit negative space (bare walls, clear floors,
# shadowed far ends) - collective nouns (walls of, ranks of) are
# avoided because the model tiles them into clutter. Repeated
# elements always carry a small explicit number (three, four, six)
# plus a bare facing surface - "a wall of X" bounds location, not
# quantity, and the model tiles X while discarding the container.
# Counts are DIEGETIC: every quantity is what the real space would
# hold (one master regulator in an atelier, three boilers in a
# stokehold), set-dressed to the aesthetic - never arithmetic
# chosen only to suppress tiling. Organic masses (foliage) are
# exempt and may stay unnumbered.
# Person-free settings. Pair with __steampunk_pose__ and an outfit
# line. One environment per line. 24 interiors + 17 exteriors.

# -- INTERIORS
an airship bridge in the forward gondola, a single spoked wheel of brass and mahogany before a rake of slanted viewport glass, one binnacle compass and an engine-order telegraph at the helm, a chart table with one unrolled map, the deck planking behind left clear, warm oil-lamp glow at the helm against cold sky-light through the glass, brass and mahogany palette
a cramped airship engine car, one compact steam engine of brass and bottle-green iron at its center, a single panel of three pressure gauges on the near bulkhead, a relief valve feathering one jet of white steam at the ceiling, a lone coal scuttle by the firebox, the far end of the car in darkness, lantern light shivering to the engine's beat, oily brass and bottle-green palette
an airship first-class promenade saloon, a long curve of canted observation windows, two wicker armchairs and a single potted palm set against the glass, one mahogany sideboard bearing a pair of cut-crystal decanters, a wide stretch of marquetry floor left open, afternoon sun pooling through the windows with cloud shadow sliding across the empty boards, cream, wicker-tan and polished walnut palette
a ground-side stokehold, three riveted boiler faces in a single row with one fire door open and roaring ember-orange, a lone long-handled shovel leaned by the coal bunker, a safety valve venting one hard white plume near the ceiling, the floor plates swept bare, furnace glow the only light and blackness beyond its reach, soot-black palette broken by ember orange
an inventor's garret workshop, one workbench holding a half-built brass automaton and a few loose gears - the room's only clutter - a single treadle lathe in the corner, one rolled blueprint pinned open on an otherwise bare plank wall, a brass flying harness hung from the rafters overhead, empty floorboards between, an oil lamp with a green glass shade and moonlight through one dormer skylight, warm oak and brass palette
a clockmaker's atelier, a single long workbench under a north-light window, one tray of sorted gears and a jeweler's lathe on its surface, one tall master regulator clock in a glazed case against an otherwise bare paneled wall - the shop's reference timekeeper, a glass dome over a finished automaton hand at the bench's far end, the rest of the room plain and orderly with empty floor, soft north light onto green baize, walnut, baize-green and brass palette
a machine-works foundry floor, one steam hammer exhaling a slow white breath over its anvil block, a single crucible glowing at its lip some way off, one line shaft with a leather belt running down from the girders, the wide pour floor otherwise empty, molten glow against deep shadow in the far bays, iron-grey and furnace-orange palette
a brass computing-engine hall, one monumental difference engine of numbered brass wheels and crank arms standing as the room's centerpiece, a low brass rail ringing the machine, one clerk's high desk with a green-shaded lamp facing it, polished parquet stretching empty on every side, three frosted gas globes along the centerline, mahogany, brass and ledger-green palette
a gentlemen's club smoking room, two deep buttoned-leather wing chairs facing a marble fireplace, a single terrestrial globe on a brass stand between them, one green-shaded lamp lit on a side table, wide stretches of dark paneling left bare, the far corners of the room falling into unlit shadow, coal-fire glow and one pool of lamplight, oxblood leather, walnut and gold palette
a grand ballroom, an empty stretch of parquet beneath three tiered gas chandeliers, three tall gilt-framed mirrors on one wall doubling the empty floor, swagged velvet at two tall windows, a single row of small gilt chairs against the far wall, the room otherwise bare and waiting, warm gaslight shimmering in the mirrors, ivory, gold and burgundy palette
a music-hall stage seen from the wings, one limelight lamp trained on the empty boards, a single painted canvas backdrop hanging from the flies, one prop skip parked in the wing shadow, the fly rail with its belaying pins fading into darkness above, dust hanging in the one beam of limelight, crimson curtain, gilt and shadow palette
an apothecary's dispensary, one apothecary cabinet of small labeled drawers behind the counter - the room's single dense object - a marble counter bare but for a brass balance scale, three stoppered amber jars on one shelf, one bunch of dried herbs hanging in the window, the shop floor open and empty, low afternoon light through bottle-glass panes, amber glass, walnut and faded gilt palette
a Victorian operating theatre, one scrubbed wooden table centered under a great frosted skylight, tiered horseshoe galleries rising empty into shadow, a single tray of instruments on a stand beside the table, a carbolic sprayer alone in the corner, the boards around the table bare, a ring of gas jets lit low beneath the skylight, chalk-white and iron-grey palette over worn oak
a consulting detective's study, one desk holding a brass magnifier on a stand and a single stack of case files, a corkboard of pinned maps on one wall only, an armchair with a violin case beside the coal grate, the remaining walls bare and the floor clear, pipe smoke hanging in one shaft of light from a green-shaded desk lamp, tobacco-brown and bottle-green palette
a submersible control room, one periscope column at the center with folded handles, a cluster of three brass valve wheels on the near bulkhead, a single depth gauge the size of a dinner plate, one plotting table beneath a gimbal-hung oil lamp, a lone porthole of thick green glass, rivet seams weeping single slow drops, deep shadow between two small pools of lamplight, wet brass and iron-green palette
a diving-bell wet porch, one brass diving helmet on its rack beside a single hanging suit, a rope-railed hatch of black water open in the floor, one hand-cranked air pump with twin flywheels against the bulkhead, a coiled air hose on one wall drum, the riveted walls otherwise bare, lantern light wobbling off the black water, tar-black, brass and sea-green palette
an alchemist's laboratory-library, one long bench carrying a single alembic over a spirit burner and three wax-sealed jars, one bookcase wall with a wheeled ladder - the room's only crowded surface - a brass orrery alone on the desk, one chalk diagram on a slate wall otherwise clean, candlelight through the curved glass and darkness gathering at the ceiling, midnight-blue, aged leather and brass palette
a glass conservatory, white iron ribs and panes beaded with condensation, deep benches of ferns and hanging baskets massed along the glass walls, one brass irrigation pipe with a single valve wheel breathing fine mist over the greenery, a scrolled iron bench on a clear stretch of tile at the center, low sun flaring through wet glass, fern-green, white iron and terracotta palette
a luxury rail carriage interior, two button-tufted velvet seats facing across one walnut table with a single fringed lamp, one etched-glass gas sconce lit on the paneled wall, a lone portmanteau in the brass-net rack, the aisle carpet running empty to the far door, landscape smearing past the window, warm gaslight against blue dusk in the glass, burgundy velvet, walnut and brass palette
a locomotive footplate, the firebox door glowing at its crack, a single cluster of three brass gauges above the regulator handle, one oil can on the tray, coal heaped in the tender mouth behind, ragged wisps of steam whipping past the open cab sides, gauge lamps and firebox glow the only light, coal-black and ember-orange palette with worn brass
a frontier saloon interior, one long bar of scarred mahogany with a brass foot rail, a single mirrored back-bar holding one shelf of a dozen bottles, one card table with hands laid face-down, a lone pot-bellied stove, the sawdust floor open between, one oil lamp lit in its wall bracket and batwing doors ajar to dusty light, whiskey-amber, smoke-grey and raw pine palette
a submersible's grand salon, one great circular viewport of riveted brass opening onto deep green water, a single pipe organ of dark wood and gleaming pipes against the iron wall, two velvet armchairs on a Persian rug, the riveted ceiling ribs converging overhead, the rest of the room in warm shadow, oil-lamp glow against the cold light through the glass, deep-sea green, velvet-crimson and brass palette
a lighthouse lamp room, one colossal brass-and-glass Fresnel lens filling the center of the room, a single wick-trimming table against the rail, glass panes on every side looking onto empty night, one spiral stair descending through the floor, the lens throwing slow spokes of light through the dark, lamp-gold, glass-green and iron-black palette
an ironclad's armored wheelhouse, one ship's wheel of brass and oak before a narrow slit of viewing port, a single engine-order telegraph at its side, one speaking tube capped on the riveted wall, grey plate iron on every surface, the slit of sea-light cutting the gloom, a hanging lamp swaying gently, gunmetal-grey, oak and dull-brass palette

# -- EXTERIORS
a gaslit cobblestone street at night, one cast-iron lamp post wearing a halo in the fog, a single pillar box at the corner, steam curling up through one pavement grate, wet cobbles doubling the one light, the terraces on either side dissolving into grey-green murk, a lit clock face floating far off in the fog, amber gaslight, wet-slate palette
an airship mooring field at dawn, one brass-capped mooring mast with a single airship riding nose-on to the wind, a lone stack of cargo crates on the grass, one tin-roofed dock office with a limp wind sock, coal smoke and white steam drifting together from a donkey engine, the field stretching empty to the horizon, first sun gilding the envelope against a slate sky, tan canvas, brass and dawn-gold palette
a rooftop chimneyscape, four chimney pots in one cluster exhaling thin threads of smoke, a single water tank on riveted legs venting a ribbon of steam, one iron ladder strung between slate slopes, the city falling away in smoking tiers below, empty sky above the stacks, low sun through smoke haze, slate-grey, chimney-red and smoke-gold palette
an iron-and-glass railway terminus, one locomotive at the buffers wrapped in its own steam, the great arched trainshed roof empty above it, a single brass-faced clock on a scrolled bracket, one porter's barrow holding three stacked portmanteaus on the bare platform, shafts of sun cutting the steam from the sooted glass, iron-grey, steam-white and brass palette
a frontier main street at midday, one false-fronted timber building with a painted sign, a single hitching rail and water trough at the boardwalk, one iron mooring mast rising far behind the rooflines, wagon ruts baked in the empty dust, heat shimmer down the vacant street, hard noon light and one long awning shadow, dust-tan, weathered timber and washed-blue palette
a moonlit churchyard, six leaning headstones scattered in wet grass, one spiked iron gate standing ajar, a single yew in deep shadow, one shuttered lantern left burning on a tomb slab, mist pooling low across the open ground, full moonlight silvering the mist, bone-white, iron-black and moon-silver palette
a harbor dockside, one ironclad hull riveted and rust-streaked at its bollard, a single steam crane chuffing one white plume as it swings a cargo net, three barrels and a coiled hawser on the empty quay, one paddle tug far out on tin-grey water, overcast marine light, tar-black, rust-red and tin-grey palette
a jungle expedition camp at a ruin, one canvas wall tent beside a cold fire circle, a single vine-swallowed stone doorway carved with worn glyphs, one brass theodolite on its tripod, a lone oil lantern hung from the ridgepole, the clearing otherwise empty to the tree line, green light filtering through the canopy onto ground mist, moss-green, khaki-canvas and old-stone palette
an airship passing colossal and low overhead, its riveted underside filling most of the sky, one dangling mooring line trailing above the rooftops, a single street lamp lit on the empty pavement below, the airship's vast shadow sweeping across the cobbles, open sky at the frame's edges, hazy daylight dimmed beneath the hull, iron-grey, brass and pale-sky palette
a high-altitude docking spire above the cloud deck, one lattice mooring tower rising from the clouds with a single airship easing alongside, a lone gangway bridging tower to gondola, an unbroken cloud floor stretching to the horizon, empty sky above, low sun flaring gold across the cloud tops, cloud-white, gilt and pale-blue palette
an airship construction slipway in open air, one skeletal envelope frame of curved ribs cradled in a timber gantry, a single ladder leaned against the lowest rib, one workbench of tools at the cradle's foot, bare trampled ground stretching away on every side, flat overcast worklight, raw timber, pale iron and dun-earth palette
a hillside airship wreck, one deflated envelope draped across the slope like a shed skin, the gondola canted nose-down in the grass below it, a single snapped mooring line lying downhill, empty moorland rolling away behind, low cloud dragging past the crest, cold grey light, faded canvas, tarnished brass and heather-brown palette
an airship running before a storm, one small airship with its running lamps lit against a towering thunderhead that fills half the sky, a curtain of rain hanging beneath the cloud's base, open dark air below the hull, the last low sun striking the envelope's flank, storm-slate, brass-gold and rain-grey palette
a great clock tower seen from the street below, one lit clock face high on the stonework, a band of fog wrapped around the tower's waist, a single gas lamp burning at its base, the surrounding street empty and wet, the tower's upper spire dissolving into night, amber lamplight under a charcoal sky, wet-stone, fog-grey and clock-gold palette
a railway viaduct striding a valley on tall brick arches, one train crossing high above with a long banner of steam trailing behind, a single river threading the valley floor below, open hillside on either side, late sun raking the brickwork, brick-red, steam-white and valley-green palette
an ironworks skyline at dusk, three colossal chimneys and one round gasometer black against a burnt sky, a single foreground street lamp lit on an empty lane, one thread of white steam rising among the chimney smoke, the district otherwise a flat silhouette, ember dusk-light behind the stacks, soot-black, ember-orange and smoke-mauve palette
a stone dry dock with the water pumped out, one riveted submersible hull resting in timber cradles at the bottom, a single ladder running down the dock wall, one crane arm reaching overhead, the granite steps descending in long empty flights, low-tide light under a gull-grey sky, wet-granite, iron-rust and timber-brown palette
