I have stolen the name and city and exit strategy. I am adding a bunch of places all created by psi active people who dissolved/ascended. Pariah is the strongest presence
Here's the places I've gotten so far:
Ruined City:
Primarily Russian from Pariah’s influence
There are places in the city attuned to other psychics these come as sites or neighborhoods. These places appear in the city, sometimes in different places where the rules of the city are subject to change as well as the constructs appearing differently.
Sites:
The hospital: The hospital: A huge building modeled after an idealized Osmania General Hospital the first sign of the building is the palm trees and shadows moving quickly about. The building holds the architectural glory from the real world. The inside is large and spacious with beds everywhere each holding a construct, things of gauze and tubes wrapped around injured flesh. Tubes writhe from these construct seeking to attach to other constructs or unfortunate humans. Blank mannequins in nurses uniforms or janitors coveralls carrying toolboxes float through the halls stopping by beds to prune the gauze and tubes and sometimes giving shots from long needles that sprout from their fingers. Further in, strange doctor shaped things made of shining machines and immaculate cloth move about and the patient constructs appear cleaner.
The Mission: built in a 17th century Spanish Colonial style sitting on rocky ground sprouting from the street
The Bunker: A French bakery in bright clear sunshine sits on the street, inside past the pastries, counters and chairs there is a black staircase. The staircase leads to an underground complex appearing first as a military instillation turning into a large playroom, classroom and living quarters for a young boy. The walls are covered with French music and propaganda from the eighties. This is the domain of Andre St. Claire a young pyrokenetic who the French government didn’t know what to do with. The constructs here appear as large asbestos containment suits each emblazoned with a number sequence. Though powerfully large and solid, they cringe away from any threat. There are also the generals men made of light and chocolate with either a clipboard or military hat. The servants fear and obey these.
The Reactor: a bleak dome rising above the other buildings with faded signs written in simplified Chinese warning that intruders will be shot. Inside there is only one path, ranging from a 2m wide by 2m tall tunnel to a massive curving room stretching hundreds of meters into the air that spirals to the center, a sparse bedroom and giant dynamo. The constructs here appear as humans with elongated legs, arms and head, their mouths filled with syringes in place of teeth and long sharp rubber claws in place of hands and feet. They scuttle on the walls, ceilings and floors. A young telekinetic boy lived here providing power for much of Yunnan province.
The Deli: “Joe’s Subs and Pierogies” the color is washed from the store and surrounding area, there is a constant drizzle and never any sun. Inside the deli, faded gray men smoke, drink, eat, read newspapers written in a combination of all written languages. There are no constructs here, this is the resting place of psi spies from the Cold War who weren’t ready for their deaths or had attachments that prevented them from going to wherever people go. This is rather safe as long as people don’t spend too much time here and become grayscale. The spies can be helpful and can make demands.
Neighborhoods:
The Hills: a rural forested hilly place with many pines and sometimes covered in snow it seems to be in the city just starting somewhere almost randomly. People often have a hard time noticing when they cross into The Hills. The area is full of animal sounds and light filters oddly through the trees. This is the domain of Jenny Duncan, a Californian psychic who was never discovered. She died/was absorbed in 1976 at the age of 14. The Exit is a small two story wooden house where Jenny grew up in with a stump in front of it. The constructs here appear as animals of wood, earth, stone and bone with glowing red eyes.
The tunnels: Anyone who’s gone urban exploring in the tunnels under modern New York can recognize these. Dwayne Johnson, a young biokenetic spent his short homeless life here living among the “mole people.” The sewers are dank and oppressive where water drips and flows from somewhere to somewhere, sometimes waves of sewage crash down the tunnels. The tunnels are accessible from most of the Ruined City through manholes, storm drains and pipes. The constructs here look vaguely human formed from sewage, broken glass, rusty cans and other garbage.
The University: If anyone knows it, they can kind of recognize Ain Shams university’s medical campus from Cairo, someone who’s been there or checked it will recognize the era as the seventies. The constructs appear as students made from chrome, clean glass and other shiny metals, their movement is more like gliding as a fish through clear water. Except for the leaders, large obsidian or black metal in the shape of men carrying briefcases who stride the area their feet fracturing the ground sometimes stopping to pulverize a student.
As for exiting from the city. Each site or neighorhood has an exit (except the Deli, they know there's no way home). A simple symbolic action here is all it takes, chopping a chicken in the Hills or turning off a heart monitor in the Hospital etc. I need to add these.
