Neo-Victorian Heroines in Attic Conservatory

Scene & Setting A sun-bleached attic conservatory perched above a whimsical Neo-Victorian cityscape at golden hour. Dust-mote shafts slash through lead-framed windows, back-lighting swirling crinolines and storm-tossed ringlets. A battered globe, teetering book-stacks, and clockwork birdcages crowd the foreground while copper rooftops and drifting airships glow beyond the panes. Characters (left ➜ right, all mid-action) 1. The Razor-Wit Aristocrat — ash-blonde up-do, pearl drop earring (one missing!), ruffled jabot, velvet riding cloak flaring like raven wings; right hand clenched around an oversized fountain-pen “rapier,” eyes wide with amused outrage. 2. The Runaway Alchemist — honey-gold mane whipping sideways, long trench-collar popped, fingers crackling with blue alchemical sparks that halo her emerald gaze; smirking as though she started this chaos on purpose. 3. The Bookish Sharpshooter — raven curls escaping a messy bun, round spectacles flashing, clutching a leather-bound grimoire that ejects luminous glyphs; posture half-crouched, brows arched in “oh-hell” determination. 4. The Incognito Heiress — soft chestnut waves tucked beneath a floppy canvas hat, ribbon bow trailing; caught mid-twirl as she brandishes a brass parasol like a cavalry saber, cheeks flushed in gleeful panic. Narrative Beat All four heroines have just discovered that, in their frantic rush to infiltrate a masquerade of sky-pirates, they’ve accidentally swapped earrings—a trivial blunder that will blow their covers if the monocled pirate-captain (lurking off-frame) notices. This realisation hits simultaneously, freezing them in a tableau of exaggerated shock, determination, and barely suppressed laughter—right as a gust from a passing dirigible hurls open the windows and whips every ribbon, curl, and cravat into a kinetic cyclone.
