CogsWorth

CogsWorth is a large tower at the center of BarksBurg, doubling as a clock tower, and a job specializing in fixing clocks and making them.

## Appearance

CogsWorth, also known as Big Bell is a large clock tower at the center of BarksBurg, doubling as a clock tower, and a job specializing in fixing clocks and making them. The clock tower uses a series of gears, pulleys, driving pistons, and rods, (Similar to Bortron’s moon, Zorori) along with a large quartz crystal to power itself and tell the time. The clock resembles an old clock tower from the 19th century, and has 4 clock faces on each side of the tower.

## Location

The location of Big Bell is at the center of BarksBurg in town circle. The clock is surrounded by a large winding bridge that curls around it and leads off to god’s keep. The cog store, Paradise Mall, and The Candy Shop surround Big Bell at a roundabout.

## Areas within

### Base floor

The base floor is the waiting room, and place to schedule an appointment with it’s main clerk, Type-E.

### Gear hub

The gear hub is a large emptied out section of the clock tower, filled with gears and other means of power that keep said clock tower running. If the gears were to stop turning, or the crystal was removed Big Bell could cause a AA-freeze frame scenario. More on that later.

### Clock fixing area

This floor is where the main characters, Luke, Satie, Ava, and Pat work. In this area Luke fixes and makes the clocks and send them to Satie and Ava to give to the customers. Their boss Pat sits in his office either being a lazy bum, or doing boss stuff.

## History

Big Bell has a rough history. In the year 1897, construction began on Big Bell. Years passed by and the clock tower was completed. Then in 1929, the first war between predator and prey happened, nearly resulting in the destruction of Big Bell. After that the clock tower was shipped from its original home in sveetzerlund and shipped over seas to Acorn Island. There in 1929 were the calmest years in its life. Then in 1967 the second war between prey and predator happened with a small pause and then the third war between predator and prey happened, peace following shortly after. And in 1999 the clock almost stopped after two gears in it jammed, nearly causing an AA-class freez frame scenario. Then in 2006, the clock was permanently cemented into the ground at town circle and it now stands proud and prideful in the current year 2021.

## Dangers

If Big Bell were to stop working, it could cause an AA-class freeze frame scenario. Everything and everyone in a 1 kilometer radius would become frozen in time. Objects outside of the bubble coming inside remain animated but overtime the longer they stay in, the slower time passes for them. In a 48-hour span, any living organisms would become frozen in time. It is unknown why Big Bell does this but it may have something to do with the gears inside the moon, seeing as both gears run in perfect synchronization. If Big Bell stops, the moon stops and vice versa. If Big Bell is stopped for a 168 hour span, the clockwork in the moon will grind to a halt, causing an BA-class freeze frame scenario. Where whatever side the moon is facing on Bortron, all time stops there.

## Trivia

Big Bell’s name is pun on Big Ben

In almost every destructive event in Furry Friends, Big Bell’s clock dials are alway sprung out of the tower, suspended by a small spring.

Big Bell has been on Bortron for well over 100 years

In season 1 of furry friends, Big Bell had a small crystal on its roof. In season 2 this was dropped and swapped for a large heart instead.
