** Shinji Akamura (Tropers/CrystalGlacia): Daisuke's father, a skilled mercenary who got captured a few hours prior to the start of the thread by Koboyashi and [[BadassInDistress locked up in some kind of a maximum security prison]]. Very fondly spoken of by his son.

[[folder:Guidelines]]
* Although it is recommended tropers join at the beginning arrests, one may freely write in their character at any moment during the thread. During the preparation stages, you can hint that our mutual benefactor has sent you to help at the last minute. In the heist itself, you can ask the heist coordinator (the meng watching the monitors at safehouse) to join in, and she'll get you acquainted with what help is needed.
** Alternatively, you can join with the Casino staff/guard as an opposing view to the story. Security is especially tight opening night.
* As a crossover thread goes, we know how weird it seems to put say, a psychic elf beside a cyborgized ex-soldier. To fix any possible grumbling, assume [[WeirdnessCensor everyone is used to seeing things]], however strange it is.[[note]]Needs possible rewording. This point might not be clear enough.[[/note]]
** Counter-point: Try not to insert Gods and characters on the heavier end of the SuperWeight scale. Don't want to make things ''too'' easy for us, would we?
* The general policies for all Roleplay/{{Character Development Thread}}s apply here. Try to keep a good etiquette of role-playing, for people to contribute to the story.

!City

!!Various Stats
* Climate: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_continental_climate Humid continental]]. The area sits in a temperate zone, which is reflected by the vegetation (temperate plants like oak trees as opposed to tropical plants like palm trees)
* Season: Mid-Late Spring. Still gets cool at night, but in the daytime is anywhere from cool to warm.

!!Location Descriptions

[[folder: Residential and Commercial Districts]]
These two districts are similar to one another in terms of architecture and building usage - the buildings here all look reasonably modern (though there is the occasional building with architecture that looks like it's from the 19th century). The difference is in the majority of the buildings - the commercial district consists mostly of restaurants and stores, while the residential district is home to homes. Most buildings here are 2-3 stories high, though the buildings closest to the historic district start reaching 5-6 stories.\\
Interestingly, most of the bars are found in the residential district.

!!Hospital
The hospital is the largest building in both the residential and commercial districts. It's about 4 stories high and is constructed of white brick. The internals of the hospital look fairly ordinary - each floor has a waiting room with appropriate furnishings, while the rest of the floor is dedicated to rooms for the patients. The first two floors are mostly for humans, but the second two floors look to be ready to treat other sorts of beings should the need arise.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Business District]]
The business district is filled with skyscrapers many stories high. However, the skyscrapers here are still much shorter than those in the historic district, and look much more modern. As the name of the district suggests, the skyscrapers are used to hold the offices of various corporations. Usually, only the bottommost floor of each building is open to the public - the rest of the building is restricted to employees of that specific corporation.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Entertainment District]]
The entertainment district is home to four buildings: the Stadium, the Convention Center, the Library, and the Theatre.

!!Convention Centre
The convention centre is the second largest of the four buildings in the Entertainment District. It looks like 19th century architecture at first glance, but a closer inspection will reveal that the two humps of its roof are very modern looking glass windows.\\
The building has a single floor consisting of one main hall plus various external rooms - the walls are brick, but the floor is polished wood. The main hall has a stage sitting off to one side. By default, there are chairs facing the stage, but depending on the event being held these are often taken to one of the side rooms for storage.

!!Stadium

The largest building in the entertainment district, the stadium is used not only for sports, but also for the occasional sparring match. As per stadium standards, it consists of a central green field surrounded by rows of seats. It is one of the most modern-looking buildings in the city. The structure around the field, besides holding the seats, also holds various sports memorabilia.

!!Library

The library is the smallest of the four buildings in the Entertainment District. It is a typical public library of complete 19th century architecture, and is 3 floors high. The second and third floors have balconies that let the patrons of the library gaze upon the first floor (the center of which appears to be a simple reading area, complete with couches and appropriate furniture). All floors have shelves with many books, but the third floor also has such curiosities as animal skeletons, which essentially allows it to double as a mini-museum.

!!Theatre

The theatre is not a movie theatre, but rather a place where plays and operas are performed. Like the convention center, it is mostly a mix of 19th century and modern architecture. A single large stage dominates the back wall, with rows of seats facing it. The seats are divided into four areas, along with a high-rise box for wealthy patrons. The lobby offers refreshments, posters featuring advertisements for plays, and restrooms.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Historic District]]
The historic district is home to the tallest and oldest skyscrapers of the city, and also serves as the seat of the city's government. Most of the buildings have 19th century-style architecture. As opposed to the single-use skyscrapers of the business district, the skyscrapers of the historic district are multi-purpose, and most of them are open to the general public.

!!Centerpoint Tower

The single largest building in the entire city, Centerpoint Tower is a massive skyscraper a half-mile[[note]]~0.8 km[[/note]] high. It's also the oldest building in the district, being completely composed of 19th century architecture. The lower half of the building, like the other skyscrapers in the district, are multi-purpose. The building also has an observation deck halfway up, which provides a nice view of the rest of the historic district and the rest of the city.\\
The upper half of the building is unoccupied and closed off to the general public. What, if anything, exists on these upper floors is known only to the city's government. A sharp point with a lightning rod at the very top decorates the roof of the tower.

!!City Hall

If Centerpoint Tower is the most dominating building in terms of size, the City Hall is the most dominating building in sheer style. In stark contrast to the 19th century style of the rest of the district, the City Hall has Greek-like architecture. Its windows are golden in color, stretch from the roof to the foundation, and function as one-way mirrors. The roof of the building is pyramidal in shape.\\
The building is no less extravagant on the inside. The ceiling is decorated with fine frescoes, and the floor is covered with a blue carpet. The second two floors overlook the first via a pair of balconies that face the entrance. Only the lobby is open to the general public without an appointment.\\
The police department of the city makes its home in the City Hall's basement. Given that it's hidden from the sight of the general public, it is nowhere near as extravagant as the rest of the building - the walls are concrete, and only the offices have any sort of decor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Memorial Park]]
Memorial Park is a mostly forested area that stands out radically from the surrounding urbanization. The center of the park has a massive pond, in the center of which sits a fountain. In front of this pond is a statue of the founder, and plaques around the pond tell visitors of the city's history.
There are other places in the park that pay tribute to the wars of the past and have memorials that honor the lives lost to them. The four major memorials form a rectangle, with the pond sitting in the center of it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Construction Zone]]
In constrast to the mostly organized city, the construction zone is an area of hazards - home to heavy machinery and half-built structures. It appears that the zone is dedicated to the expansion of the business district, but there are certain areas that look suspiciously like ruined buildings that are in the process of being repaired.

!World's Fair

[[folder:A stall can...]]
* '''Be suited for any level of commitment.''' Stalls can be created as incidental plot devices, such as obtaining food or reminding a character of something, and quickly forgotten about, or they can be run by characters that explicitly belong to a certain writer or writers, or anything in between. Writers are under absolutely no obligation to control any stall that they contribute beyond the original purpose that they brought it to serve.
** If you make up a nondescript stand that's selling pizza for the purpose of having your attendee character buy some and leave, the stall has served its purpose. You're free to never write for or mention it again, and it's fine if it disappears into the ether because nobody else had their characters visit that particular pizza stand or another writer brings a more detailed pizza vendor that's explicitly different from the one you brought. Alternatively, you and any other writer are free to decide later to flesh out that same stand whether by retconning it into being larger, changing the NPC running the stand into a writer-controlled one, or any other change you can think of.
** Of course, if you bring a stall representing something from your work such as a character's business or a faction that plays some role in your setting or plot for the sake of developing the characters and/or that faction, you have to be mindful of the commitment. The characters and/or the the faction they're promoting should be written for with reasonable depth and care.
* '''Be at the fair for any reason, in-story or out.''' A stall could have the more traditional aims of selling something or promoting a faction or organization, such as a government, business, guild, culture, political party, club, school, or anything else you can think of. You can add a stall for the sake of fleshing out a force in your work, developing the characters running the stall, steering the thoughts and/or conversations of non-stall-running characters in a certain direction, simply giving other people's characters something to interact with, or any combination of the above.
* '''Offer any service, attraction, and/or product.''' Food (any sort), weaponry, apparel, animals (to sell, see and/or pet), amusements, art, psychic readings, tools, advancements in any field (with demonstrations?), healing/first aid, anything you can think of, at all. And don't be afraid to let any of it make a mess so long as you don't disrupt large parts of the setting or any groups of characters whose writers would prefer to stay unmolested.
* '''Come from anywhere.''' Our world, your work's world, or another place entirely that you made up on a whim. Brought a character who can't eat or doesn't like any of the food that's currently at the fair? You could give them a good day by making up a stall selling one of their favorite delicacies, let your character and the stall-running character exchange a few words, and let the stall fade away if you so wish.
[[/folder]]

If you choose to run a stall of your own, create an entry for it in one of the three folders below, depending on which category you think it would fit the most. Its heading should contain its name (such as the faction it's representing), your troper handle, and whether it's active (you're currently available to write for it) or inactive (you're unavailable and can't write for it). Below it should be a description of what a passerby will see as they look at your stall.

Any stall with a writer's name on it cannot be controlled by anyone else without that writer's explicit permission. Furthermore, if a writer finds that they're too busy to continue controlling a stall with their name on it, they can write the stall closing up or (if the stall has attracted characters) the stall can become unexpectedly crowded with NPC attendees, convincing characters to leave and come back when it's less busy.

!!Locations
[[folder:Entertainment Hall]]
!! Dueling Ring (Shared, NPC-run, Permanent)

Here in this inground, wood-floored, two-person ring, anyone in the mood for an honorable scuffle can gather an opponent and fight it out without having to worry (too much) about accidentally harming spectators, who sit safely in the wooden bleachers behind a short wall.

!! House of Horrors (@/{{Elfhunter}}) [Inactive]

A ramshackle building made of wood and stone, though if one would look closely they would notice it was made without a single nail or ounce of mortar. A small hallway from the entrance leads left into the first room of four, each large enough to hold all the creepy statues, paintings and other paraphernalia, while leaving a cramped walking space. With the windows sealed up and only the one entrance, the insides are pitch black, the torches handed out to entrants being their only source of light.

A man in pre-Gregorian era clothing stands at the entrance, and is the only visible attendant. Although running a place this big seems tough for one man, [[{{Slasher Smile}} he won't give you the opportunity to complain]].

!!Rufus's "Ask Me to Do Anything" Stall (@/{{Ryuhza}}) [Closed]

A somewhat suspect looking stall that consists of a public bench (cleverly disguised with a large tablecloth) and a small table with a self-described "merging of man and beast" lizard person sitting atop it, offering to do anything (within decent reason) that a fairgoer demands, and utilizing a pay-what-you-want model for the resulting performance. It has had surprisingly little success thus far.

!!Ejra Demori's Fantastical Emporium (@/SolipSchism) [See Note][[note]]Please PM @/SolipSchism or post in the Discussion if you'd like to visit the stall, as he is only skimming posts from characters that aren't already interacting with him.[[/note]]
!!!Unbelievable Spells And Enchantments To Amaze And Astound!
''Buy One Get One Free On All Nonpermanent Spells! Inquire Within!''

A small tent that probably ought to be in the Market Hall, but the proprietor doesn't seem like the type to rely on more than a token amount of logic most of the time. Packed with ceiling-to-floor and wall-to-wall shelves covered with trinkets, it looks like a knick-knack shop or antique toy store, but each item is a spell--that is, a person with sufficient innate magical talent will be able to channel that power through them to cast specific spells, most of which are suited for combat. He has quite a respectable selection of spells that ''don't'' require any innate magical ability, too.[[note]]The general idea of "spells" as magical trinkets is taken from the pre-revision ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' novels, and all of his spells are actual cards in the game.[[/note]]

!! Madame [=voSudir's=] Ship of Marvels (@/{{nrjxll}})

A small (~150 meters) sea-green spaceship resting alongside the edge of the hall, it consists of two hemispheres joined together, with bright red holographic text on the larger hemisphere flashing its name in different languages. A pair of hovering disks of similar appearance are outside, with one reciting a carnival-style sales pitch.

Details of the interior will follow once (or if) someone goes inside.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Showcase Hall]]

!! Martian Dynamics (@/{{Night}})

A small whitish prefabricated building with an area out front under a raised tarp showing various bits advanced technology that seemed to be parts of larger and more complex machines. There are a couple of obvious exceptions; a mid-sized construction machine of some sort with a bubble canopy and a five-meter-long gun designed for something with much [[HumongousMecha bigger hands]] than a human. A square flag flies above the building, divided in half horizontally: a distinctive rust or dirt red below and black with white speckles above; the Southern Cross if one looked close. The tarp and the building both have a large "MD" logo that faded from the same red to a sky-blue.

A half-dozen people in sky blue vests or overalls attend the area, along with one African-looking man in a dark blue suit. All of them seem to be a few inches over normal height.

!!Drs. Tsaadlo and Whittaker (@/TeraChimera) (Inactive)

A scientific booth and poster, it largely displays technical and biological information and has a title of "Physiological Effects of Full and Half-Merged Transfiguration". Even for the layman, it is relatively easy to see that it examines the effects of magical transfiguration on a body, ranging from biochemical changes to organ rearrangement. Included on the poster are two pictures: one of a Nobel prize -- for Physiology or Medicine, if one looks closely at it -- and one of a rubber chicken hunched over an egg atop a stand that says "Ig Nobel Prize". Two scientists are sitting at the booth, one a freckled, sandy-haired human wearing a nametag that reads "Myles Whittaker", the other a seven-foot-plus green-scaled, blue-striped humanoid dragon known as a chimera whose nametag says "Richard Tsaadlo".

!!Western Amalgamated Tent (@/KillerClowns)

A large white tent, run by two of Western Amalgamated's level-headed employees, Dr. Mary Xiong and Olara Veneris. They are grilling and providing, for free (with a per-customer limit), sushi rolls of varying authenticity and vegan hot dogs and burgers. Also available if necessary are some medical supplies; Xiong has basic first aid training, while Veneris is an experienced medic. Though Western Amalgamated is primarily an agricultural biotechnology company, they're not actively seeking to sell anything. Their main goals are patching up any previous disagreements they were involved in, learning about the others who have found their way here, and leaving others with a good opinion of the company so agents wearing its uniform can find allies. Any deals they make or artifacts they obtain are just an added bonus.

%%!!Bindery of Leison (@/FlowingCotton) [Inactive]

%%A stall showcasing various rectangular pieces of glass (which are by no means normal) as well as glassware. It has a dark green theme. Currently, Lyra and Aida serves as the stall's hosts.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Market Hall]]
!!Food Court (Permanent)

On the western side of the Market Hall are the various and sundry food vendors of the Worlds' Fair. A vast expanse of chairs and tiny, freely movable tables has been placed close by for attendees' dining pleasure.

!!Youkai Showcase (@/{{Yomegami}}) [Inactive]

A small stall run by Mahiro Inoue and his daughter Nagako. It mostly consists of a few shelves with a black awning over the top of it all. On display are the finest works the youkai can offer, or so Mahiro would have one believe. Among other things, there are fine silks, jewelry, and whatever else Mahiro could get his hands on that he felt would make a good impression to outsiders. In lieu of conventional payment Mahiro accepts trades if he finds the item being offered to be of interest to him.

Nagako is often not present as she's usually wandering around to see what else the fair has to offer. If she ''is'' present, she has a small sub-shop of her own, where she sells live stag beetles as pets. Most are small [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucanus_maculifemoratus miyama-kuwagata beetles]], although she has a few [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorcus_curvidens oo-kuwagata]] as well that are considerably more expensive.

!!Rare and Mystical Artifacts from Across the Seven Spiral Arms by Tevarian T'jok (@/{{Sonzai}}) [Inactive]

A medium sized booth, filled to the brim with a wide variety of antiques, gadgets, and artifacts. They look as though they are from an impressive variety of planets, species, and civilizations throughout time. Tevarian is always inside the booth ([[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14111550060A18769400&page=1#8 Intro/Description Here]]), and is more than willing to answer any question about the objects on display, what he might have in stock, or what's recommended. These artifacts range from the mundane to the fantastic, and may have the power to solve or cause many problems, depending upon how they're used. There's also a '50% Off Sale' sign on the table, but there aren't any prices marked on any items. Of course, any actual prices, in cash or trade, are all certainly negotiable.

%%!!Western Amalgamated Aquacultural Foods Stall (@/KillerClowns)

%%A large white tent, run by two of [[MegaCorp Western]] [[TrueNeutral Amalgamated]]'s more level-headed employees, Dr. Mary Xiong and Hadia al-Filasteeni. They are grilling and providing, for free (with a per-customer limit), sushi rolls of varying authenticity and vegan hot dogs and burgers. Also available if necessary are some medical supplies; both have basic first aid training. And like any good 21st century corporate setup, there's swag; a seemingly unending supply of large canvas tote bags bearing the Western Amalgamated hummingbird logo.

Any deals they make or artifacts they obtain are just an added bonus.

!!Nhesvrasila, Inc. (@/TeraChimera)

Based more than a bit on paranoia, this tent proclaims that it sells products for protection against magic. A large wall and several display cases packed with goods back this up; for the most part, they strongly resemble normal self-defense products: stun guns, Mace, collapsible batons, that sort of thing. However, there are a few objects that stand out a bit, such as something that resembles a cross between a fanny pack and an odometer. A certificate in the middle of the back wall indicates that it has been accredited by the Bureau for Arcane Control. It is manned by a short, yellow humanoid dragon, whose nametag reads "Shane Keridan".

!! Fellow And Neighbour's ''Make Your Own [=PInt=]''-Automat (@/{{m8e}} Inactive)

A 1x4x9 meter perfectly black box towers on the back end of the stall. Out of it runs bunches of tubes, hoses, cables and whatnots into a vending machine at the front of the stall. Next to the machine stands a standard stall table with brochures, various promotional merchandise and whatever such a stall might need.

Two bearded men in t-shirts just as black as the tower and the vending machine work the stall, showing how the machine works, giving away brochures/promotional materials and make sure the machine works by pouring themself another pint when their last one is empty.

[[folder:Outdoors Areas]]
!!Courtyard (Permanent)

Located outside the covered walkways that connect the three buildings of the fair, this grassy area offers plenty of benches and seating around its fountain and trees that should offer a welcome relief from the constant noise and crowds of the fair. It's also a short walk from the Market Hall's food court, should anyone decide that they wish to dine in some fresh air.

!!The Cloud Gate Hotel (NPC-run, Permanent)

Known for its love of sky-themed decor and curved mirror ornamentation in homage to its [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate namesake]], this elegant, glitzy establishment has flung its doors wide open for the fair. Its rooms have been dressed and grouped to fit as many budgets as possible while still providing top-notch service, whether a family or group of friends on a budget or a representative of a powerful force of the world. Cheaper rooms have been placed on the lower floors, with more expensive ones ascending in price, features, and offerings with the floor number.

!Capital

!!Locations

[[folder:Visitor's District]]
The Visitor's District is an area filled with impressive architecture and a variety of nice but affordable restaurants, hotels and other establishments available for recently arrived visitors to the Capital. The district is intended to give people a good first impression of the city, and has been built accordingly with wide, clean streets lined by various small monuments and the occasional tree, and with huge banners hanging from the side of the buildings, welcoming the visitors.

There are also a number of currency conversion units and public transport terminals in convenient places around the district. These can be found all over the city, but seem to be more common here.

!!!Visitor's Terminal

The Visitor's Terminal is the first thing many a visitor sees. For the most part, it bears resemblance to a typical train station, but with one very noticeable difference: instead of a train, there is what appears to be a massive gash in reality at the back of the building, with an arch built around it. For whatever reason, it isn't harmful; it can't break minds no matter how thoroughly it's examined, it won't attract beings that should not be or at least will not let them enter, or anything like that. In fact, it is rather benevolent; it is the primary means through which visitors come and go, and is extremely reliable in getting people to where they want to go.

Elsewhere in the station there are number of desks at which visitors can request information or even transportation around the city. The usual mode is by taxi, although more unusual methods are available if that is what a visitor prefers. There are also numerous benches if one wishes to sit down and rest.

!!!Zan's Fast Food Diner

This place is easily identified by the large sign above the entrance in the shape of a cartoon hippopotamus wearing a purple fez. The interior resembles a classic 50's diner, but with an excessive use of chrome and neon lights. The kitchen provides a wide variety of dishes from all across the multiverse, but different variations of what looks like pizza are by far the most common. Despite the generally friendly and inviting atmosphere, visitors often get the feeling that something is not quite normal about the place.

!!!Hotel Fantastique

Despite what the pretentious French name may have one believe, this hotel actually aims to present a welcoming, family-friendly image to potential guests. The entire place has a pleasant feel to it, and the rooms are affordable yet very clean. It has a dining room, a swimming pool, and an exercise room, and offers room service if so desired. Should any guests have special needs, the staff will take care to make sure those are met as well.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: City Center]]
Known simply as the City Center, this is the beating heart of power and influence in the city. This is where the various political and economic dealings between the most influential of the city's interdimensional visitors take place. It's the safest part of the city by far. Architecturally, it's dominated by many skyscrapers done in a neo-futuristic style, gleaming with glass and metal during the day and lit up brilliantly at night; there is also a small park.

!!!The Spire

If the City Center is the heart of the city, this tapering three-sided pyramid is the heart of the City Center. The tallest building in the entire city, the Spire (as it's locally nicknamed) is where much of the most important political and diplomatic business is handled, within conference rooms that offer impressive views of the city skyline. It also houses some of the central mechanisms of the city's own authorities, including a security center.

!!!Embassy Row

Not actually containing any embassies in the conventional sense, this long street is home to a number of high-class - and highly-priced - hotels that offer suites to particularly large groups of visitors. They're often taken by diplomatic delegations to use as both a residence and a temporary headquarters for their stays in the city, earning the name.

!!!Downtown Park

This small park exists near the very center of the City Center, mostly to add a splash of greenery to the place. It lacks the long walking paths and animal life of the Museum Park, containing mostly trees, grass, and benches. It's a popular place to visit briefly, but the city security forces tend to drive off anyone attempting to camp out overnight. Littering is discouraged in even stronger terms.

!!!Fournier's

This expensive restaurant is located on the rooftop of one of the middle-sized skyscrapers, overlooking Downtown Park. Much of it is open-air, though there is also a glass dome in the center that contains the elevators down through the building. Tasteful sculptures and rare plants are scattered throughout. The food itself, which is prepared on the floor immediately below and brought up with escalators, is perhaps more "fancy" than actually "appetizing", but most people eating here are doing it as much for the prestige and the location as anything else.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: New City]]
While it occupies its own district, many consider this part of town to simply be an extension of the City Center due to the great similarities in aesthetics (though it is noticeably lacking in skyscrapers). However, it isn't quite as focused on playing host to meetings between interdimensional political powers. Rather, as the youngest part of town, it is a hotbed of economic experimentation and is second only to Market Street as a place to set up new businesses. It also serves as the home to the Capital's rich and elite, which gives it a bit of a stuck-up reputation among the residents.

!!!Multidimensional Marketing, Inc.

The HQ for this business is a tall, super-modern looking structure near the center of the New City. Multidimensional Markerting, or MM Inc. as it is also known, prides itself on being the very best choice for distributing the latest in top-of-the-line products. Enterprising developers who don't want to try selling their creations themselves can try bringing it here and pitching it to MM Inc.'s staff. As long as the product in question is reasonably complete, MM Inc. will happily handle the advertising and general sale of it and split the profits with the creator.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Old City]]
The border between technology and magic is a thin one in this city, but generally, it's a place more of the former than the latter. The Old City, though, has not forgotten its arcane roots; a strange medley of bohemians and arcanists, it's easily the most magical part of town, and certainly one with a flavor all its own. Those from older times may find themselves particularly at home; even non-mages in this part of town disdain technology or integrate it into old-fashioned aesthetic. Capital Security isn't entirely welcome here, and is usually only called in an emergency; too many anarchists of various stripes to make them feel entirely comfortable.

!!!The Old Arena

Hosting both non-magical and magical tournaments, the Old Arena is the place to go for friendly competition. Actually several sparring rooms, its shields seem to be invincible, and its medics more than able to patch up anything up to and including atomization. The especially competitive can enjoy letting loose here; it's said that one can learn a lot about a warrior by how they fight an unknown foe.

!!!The Fallen Flags Coffeehouse

Named for its impressive display of flags from extinct empires across the multiverse, the Fallen Flags Coffeehouse is a gathering place for would-be revolutionaries, iconoclastic artists, and other of that sort. Serving an eclectic vegan menu, and featuring art often too "controversial" (or perhaps meaningless) for conventional museums, it's a point of interest for reasons well beyond filling up with caffeine.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: West Side]]
The West Side was once a bustling industrial neighborhood, but hard times have sapped it of wealth and vitality. Its warehouses and light industry are often shuttered and abandoned, its apartment blocks crowded and ill-maintained. Most people here just try to eke out a living, in whatever ways they can. Not all resist the allure of crime as a way out of poverty, ranging from merely selling illegal goods to more violent crimes against likely-looking victims. Even in a trans-dimensional nexus, where the most innocent can prove devastating, sometimes the risk of possible death beats the risk of certain starvation.

!!!Ted's Canteen

Probably the safest place in the West Side; you won't find a fight unless you're looking for one, and security forces tend to move a bit quicker when called here -- though Ted is usually happy to let fights resolve themselves if property damage stays minor. The food is cheap and greasy, but good for the price and passes health inspection with room to spare. Mostly it serves as a meeting place for the down-and-out to commiserate and figure out ways to help each other, but there are many dark and dingy corners where not-technically-legal deals can be made in relative safety. (You won't get ''violently'' robbed, but check the merchandise.)

!!!Whitehall Motel

The Whitehall Motel is the kind of place that advertises itself on a complete lack of bedbugs. This is true, but there's a certain lack of other luxuries. The beds are only somewhat preferable to stone slabs and usually just clean enough to not present a health hazard, the showers rarely more than lukewarm, the breakfast only technically sustenance. Still, it's cheap. Really, really cheap. And the management doesn't ask too many questions as long as you don't seem to be planning anything that would harm their business.

!!!The Undercity

The Capital is built on the remnants of an older city, but only in the West Side can it easily be accessed. Not just a sewer but a buried acropolis, it is said to hide many treasures. Indeed, some especially desperate residents manage to emerge from the depths with incredible treasures that change the lives of their families for the better... often at the price of their own sanity.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Museum Park]]
The Museum Park is simply that: a large park with various museums and other such attractions surrounding it. Considering the rest of the city the park is surprisingly rural; while there are numerous concrete paths through the park and a large, clearly manmade pond in the center, it seems like the city is content to let nature do what she pleases with the rest of it. Most of the flora and fauna within appears to be North American, though given how many visitors from many different places come through on a daily basis there's bound to be some more unusual organisms living there.

The attractions of the outskirts are dedicated to many different things, although the city does have high enough standards to prevent cheesy sideshow-type attractions from being set up there.

!!!National Museum

The biggest and most elaborate museum in the park, the National Museum is a large and vaguely Greek-like structure with two floors that sits at the park's southern end. Its exhibits are mostly obtained from visitors to the Capital and as such are a hodgepodge of things from many different worlds covering all sorts of topics from prehistory to engineering to astronomy and everything in between.

While the museum staff takes effort to make sure everything is well preserved, it's debatable whether or not they actually know what half of the exhibits are even supposed to be (though given that they come from many different places with their donors having their own theories about them, it's to be expected). As such, the descriptions can be a little...inaccurate at times.

!!!Monolith

The most prominent structure in the park sits at the northern end of the park, directly opposite of the National Museum. It is a massive, black tower that rivals some skyscrapers in height. It appears to be made mostly of obsidian, with a number of odd symbols carved into its surface. Although it looks like a building, it is quite solid and cannot be entered.

A large display in front of the structure contains some theories about what the structure could possibly be. It's generally considered to be a monument of some kind, but any records about it have long been lost and possibly never existed in the first place.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Waterfront]]
The Waterfront is a young district, where the newly rich -- ranging from self-made heroes to tacky swindlers who got lucky -- hang out, away from the judgment of more established peers. Hip, sleek, and sometimes a bit phony.

!!!Experience

The sort of restaurant that considers a single portentous word a perfect name. The mysterious chef there is an innovator and experimenter who has apparently seen more of the multiverse than a human lifespan could possibly fit. Results of their experimentation vary, but the result is always at least interesting, and if one has a truly bizarre request, this is the most likely place to find it. It also offer fine wines, micro-brewed beer often as strange as the food, and a general atmosphere of lively mayhem.

!!!Marina

The reason to build a home on the waterfront. A large facility that offers equipment for scuba diving, para-sailing, canoes, and even miniature submarines for rent. Plus the equipment to magically cordon off large areas of water, for whatever purpose -- usually an unusual arena to settle a wager or rivalry between mages.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Market Street]]
Running nearly the entire length of its north edge, Market Street is home to many of the shopping and entertainment opportunities of the city. Its nature tends to be a reflection of the district below it: above the City Center, it's home to shiny, highly-rated, and expensive establishments, while at the west end things are much more run-down and questionable (though it's still the safest part of the West Side). In between, locations run the full spectrum from classy to glitzy, though there are relatively few small or "quirky" shops outside of the main shopping complexes as such things are found more commonly in the Old City.

!!!The Arch Center

This large, H-shaped shopping mall earns its name from the way in which its middle section extends over Market Street itself as a vast arch, with stores located in the middle and glass windows allowing visitors to see the street below them. Situated directly above the City Center, it is futuristic and expensive, with stores within selling some of the most cutting-edge items of every sort; visiting characters will find relatively few odd knick-knacks here.

!!!Open-Air Bazaar

Located near the middle of Market Street, this broad clearing features a wide variety of small stalls that constantly change as the day goes on. Sitting across the street from a number of small food places, the bazaar has some of the most eclectic goods offered on Market Street, and is popular with visitors whose ability to purchase things is limited. Currency conversion units similar to those found in the Visitor's District are also located here.

!!!Mmphrlgmn's Casino

Found on the east side of the western canal, this sprawling casino complex is owned by a mysterious and reclusive being with an unpronounceable name, and is therefore widely just known as "M's". It is divided into several buildings, each taking a different stereotypical casino "theme" - pirates, Ancient Egypt, a volcano - though all are lit up at all times with an excess of neon or flashing lights. Despite its proximity to the West Side, visitors are kept relatively safe by a highly-trained private security force, though their money may not be so lucky.

!!!Hole In The Ground

This small shopping complex, found within the West Side, lives up to its name: it is literally located underground, within a section of the Undercity that is (supposedly) cut off from the rest of it by cave-ins. It's home to many small shops offering cheaper, harder-to-find, or sometimes illegal items; haggling is a recommended skill here. Despite its location and poorly-lit nature, Hole In The Ground is safe for most visitors, though anyone waving large sums of money around without being wary of observers might be in trouble.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14248981950A88250400&page=7#155 Kyana]] (@/{{Sphinxyness}}) - A wannabe super heroine with the power to summon and control fire. Always wears a strange scarf with colors that reflect a fire turning into ash. Very naive and energetic but has her heart in the right place. Her goal is to become a famous super hero so people won't fear her for her rather destructive powers. However she sometimes doubts if she could use her fire powers for good.

Naoko comes off as strange to others for her monotone voice and emotionless stares but Kiyumi and Midori don't mind her at all.

She is also seen to have strange shadow abilities that have yet to be explained (though the other two don't question it).

!Frontier

!!Locations
[[folder: The Town]]
The town is a typical frontier railway town with two major roads laid out roughly in a T- the top of which runs east to west, parallel to the railway line, and the stem of which is the Main Street starting opposite the railway station and extending south. The major roads are each about 120 feet wide (36m)- wide enough for a large horse-drawn cart to turn around -and there are narrower roads leading off each that service the residential areas.

The western end of the top of the T is the "less reputable" area of town where may be found Black Eye Joe's and the "cat house". The eastern end is more up-market and is where The Washington may be found. The main street is the town's centre of commerce where one would find the bank, Sheriff's office, telegraph office, livery, hotel, The Tipsy Toad, General Store, "Doc" Carson's surgery, and numerous other useful stores. The narrower back streets echo the major streets- the houses on the east side of town get progressively better and more expensive the further east from Main Street while the houses on the west side get progressively more run down the further west.

!!!Black Eye Joe's
One of three saloons present in the town, this saloon caters to the more dubious element among its visitors and residents. Poorly lit and with its paint flaking, it's a two-story building located at the far end of town from the train station and other more upscale establishments. Guests typically come more for the somewhat risque stage acts than for the watered-down and overpriced drinks that the surly bartender serves, though the food is surprisingly decent. A number of back rooms exist for sleeping and other purposes, but only the extremely poor or careless would want to spend the night here.

!!!The Washington
One of three saloons present in the town, this saloon is the most fancy of the lot. Its decor is somewhat old-fashioned, but pleasant, with a number of paintings on the walls and many glass windows scattered about that make it much better lit than the other two saloons. The food and drink is not overly high-class, but it is tasty and affordable, and the menu offers a wide selection. The staff are considerably more polite than at the other saloons as well. It does not offer places to stay, as most of the people who would stay at this type of establishment can generally be instead found at the hotel.

!!!The Tipsy Toad
One of three saloons present in the town, The Tipsy Toad is the popular favorite with the various rough-and-tough visitors and residents such as miners. Of all the saloons, it is perhaps the most like the stereotypical image of a Old Western saloon in its architecture and staff, with swinging wooden doors and a bustling atmosphere. Due to its crowded nature, visitors tend to take less notice here than at the other saloons, though they can still be singled out sometimes by drunk locals looking for a fight. Thanks to the general feel of the place and its cheap but strong drink, bar brawls are common here, though the staff takes care to prevent them from becoming too serious. A second floor features a number of small but affordable rooms that are somewhat nicer than those at Black Eye Joe's.

!!!Hotel
This towering building, the largest in town, is where most visitors choose to stay. Although it is somewhat costly, it is generally considered a preferential alternative to renting a room at one of the saloons or small boardinghouses that can be found scattered about. While visitors are not too common at this wilderness settlement, enough come by that the hotel is able to maintain a fine sense of decor heavy on chandeliers and a professional, if somewhat old-fashioned, staff. Stays include a complementary breakfast.

!!!General Store
Although a number of more specialized stores such as a gun shop and livery can be found nearby, the General Store is the place where most visitors planning to explore the wilderness do their shopping for supplies. It is surprisingly large and well-organized, and is run by a friendly and garrulous proprietor.

!!!Doc Carson's
The sole medical practitioner in the town, "Doc" Carson is a somewhat mysterious individual who manages to serve to the medical needs of both the townsfolk and visitors with surprising effectiveness. He seems familiar with treating even the strangest sort of ailments and can generally patch up his patients in a very short time. The doc's services cost very little, but come with the requirement that patients not ask him any personal questions.

!!!Train Station
Dominating the north end of town, the train station is a large red brick structure topped by a clock tower, and is where most (though not all) visitors originally arrive. The trains seem to come from and depart to just about anywhere on a schedule that is a complete mystery to most, but fortunately its employees are able- through equally mysterious means -to provide plenty of advance notice on a large mechanical arrivals and departures board inside the station's main hall. The train tracks themselves are found on the north side of the station, with a long waiting area that has plenty of benches below them.

!!!Sheriff's Office
The town's Sheriff's Department and small jail. Particularly problematic troublemakers will be thrown into a magically durable cell before being chucked back into their home dimension.

!!!Livery Stable
Main Street. Travelers may, for a fee, leave their horses here to be tended to and casual visitors may hire some of the stable's own horses for reasonable rates. Horsecarts are also available for a fee; horses paid separately, of course.

!!!Zeke's Hunting and Fishing Store
Main Street. Here the outdoorsy type may purchase fishing tackle, firearms, ammunition and all the things a fisherman or hunter of the mid- to late-eighteen hundreds might need. The store is spacious and well stocked but the items are eighteenth-century standards: firearms are bolt-action, pump-action, lever-action, revolvers etc. No modern semiautomatics or higher technologies.

[[folder:The Wilderness]]
Participants are welcome to create more specific points of interest on locations below, to serve a specific narrative purpose or just to liven things up. Just remember to make it not too disruptive for other players.

!!!The Desert
An area of dry arid badlands with numerous gullies and ravines from long-dried rivers as well as mesas, buttes and hoodoos sculpted by the wind. The stratified layers of siltstone, mudstone and shale along with ancient layers of volcanic ash have produced a banded colourful terrain similar to the famous Painted Desert of Arizona.

Towards and into the lower foothills, the desolate "Painted Desert" gives way to scrub-covered desert terrain similar to that of the Sonoran desert. Here may be found numerous plants of the agave, cactus, palm and legume families, sage, creosote bushes, indigo bushes and many others. Wildlife is also common in this part of the desert- numerous species of birds, lizards, snakes, small mammals (mice, bats, ground squirrels, gophers, kangaroo rats etc) and coyotes inhabit the area. Progressing up higher into the foothills, the desert starts giving way to taller trees of the forest.

!!!The Forest
Mountainous region with wind and water-sculpted pinnacles and cliffs, numerous valleys and a few slot canyons. The streams and larger rivers converge to feed a large river that drains into the fertile plains to the East. The upper foothills and mountains are covered in temperate coniferous forest - primarily evergreen conifers with a mix of broadleaf deciduous trees and a wide variety of shrubs. Wildlife includes grey wolves, coyotes (not as common as in the scrubby desert lands), mountain lions, black bear, elk and deer. Features spectacular views and scenery.

!!!The Fort
Located in the Northwestern Desert next to the river and on the other side of a hill from the water tower, this nineteenth-century fort is similar to Fort Sam Houston, and it's currently occupied by only a single platoon to keep the fort maintained and the flag flying.

!!!The Ruined Temple
Located a mere hour's walk into the Southwestern Desert, this odd, dark stone temple gets very few visitors, or in fact people who have seen past its atrium thanks to its diligent guard, a flame-wreathed lion-beast. But is it really guarding just mere riches, or could there be more...?

!!!Hidden Cave
A sizable cave located in a shallow ravine just a little off the beaten path down one of the main southern roads. Innocuous at a glance, but home to untold depths.

!Dream II

To prevent full thread chaos, writers should keep the following in mind:
* New locations that your characters find in the forest should be added to the "Locations" list.
* Like in the previous thread, writers with characters in the same CastHerd will be taking turns to come up with new locations, but your characters can still leave a mark on places established by other writers, if you wish.
* While it is encouraged to bring things into the dream that evoke strong emotions in your character or bring back certain memories, be mindful of your fellow writers and make sure everyone has an opportunity for character exploration.

[[folder:Locations]]
* Forest: These misty woods serve as an in-between place for the other areas. Distances are not fixed, so you can wander this area as much or as little as you like before arriving somewhere else.
* Farm: A small, well-used blue-painted barn and pasture, enclosed by a fence and gate. Strangely, it seems to be morning, but only within the confines of the Farm's pasture fence. Its animals are slowly returning.
* Ritter Clinic: A house/ medical clinic by a frozen river. The area around it is snowing heavily. It's formally known as the Gamino District 2 Clinic, but the people of Andelin have taken to calling it after their local doctor ever since he was assigned there.
* Wasteland: Arid badlands where the soil is red and dusty, complete with a barren city. Hot, dry and desolate. A deeply hostile environment... except for the Hakoda Imperial Academy nestled within the city, a safe haven containing a large garden with birds fluttering about.
* Ruins: The remains of an ancient civilization, with partially collapsed buildings and many statues and carvings featuring fanged creatures. The shadows of those who lived here remain, as do the shadows of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent undead]] who lived here.
* Tranquil Underworld: A subterranean realm of memory and healing, in which lie unfulfilled dreams waiting to be made real and preserved beings of past eras. Its Gate lies under a small pyramid with a bell atop, which is periodically ringed by the Gatekeeper. The Underworld proper is an infinitely big upside-down tower inside a star-filled void, that combines architectures of various eras, inhabited by cursed people in various degrees of insanity, and their ghostly caretakers.[[note]]No longer active[[/note]]
* San Francisco: From Lauren and Henry's memories. Two versions: hippie-era (1967) at their house, and 1980s at their warehouse/residence.[[note]]No longer active[[/note]]
* The Eldritch Factory: [[EldritchLocation Mysterious]] place of [[WombLevel organic]] design, the place is much like a factory- Entire sections dedicated to the creation of specific components, such as The Forest of Bone (littered with 'trees' resembling humans reaching skyward) and The Heart Forge (a giant heart-like dome where blood flows like water, with hearts being grown) amongst other areas. Connecting it all together is [[HubLevel Sanity's Descent]], the only known way to enter and leave.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14534540090A11293900&page=27#673 The Graveyard]]: A place ravaged by ancient magical warfare, contaminated and twisted. The laws of physics are notoriously weak around here, with all sorts of weirdness going on.
* [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Misery Manor]]: An [[OldDarkHouse old dark]] [[HauntedHouse haunted house]] inhabited by zombies, originating in a DeathWorld, but recently re-located to the Graveyard. The interior of the manor used to be cursed such that its appearance and architecture [[PsychologicalTormentZone reflects the deepest, darkest fears of anyone who enters]], but now it's just an ordinary collapsed and abandoned house.[[note]]No longer active[[/note]]
* Beta Town: A small city populated by unfriendly robots, ruled by a HumongousMecha named Lord Metatronic. Originally from the virtual world of Mystrica, where the Elemental Guardians are from.[[note]]No longer active[[/note]]
* Yukijou-minato: A port town where the Senjimese Navy's Northern Fleet is based. Located to the south are Akamori, the pine barrens, and Yukijō(Snow Castle), a massive castle complex with a five story main keep. The north part of town contains the harbor and naval shipyards.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14534540090A11293900&page=35#869 Twilight Ball]]: A lively gathering taking place in an open-air and open-sky (through a glass ceiling) hall with an aesthetic similar to CrystalSpiresAndTogas (minus the togas), in the twilight region of a TidallyLockedPlanet called Orenya. There's a stage, several tables, and even a buffet serving every kind of food and drink imaginable.
* Marble Corridor: A plain marble corridor. It is lined with arched windows that currently show pristine snowfields stretching out as far as the eye can see.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14534540090A11293900&page=43#1061 Field of Souls]]: An [[AlwaysNight eternally dark]] wasteland with a powerful magic field that makes thoughts manifest as images.

Please feel free to put in links to posts containing initial descriptions of locations - and if you "break anything" (e.g. your character's tank inadvertently blows a hole big enough to take a school bus in the side of a temple) please update the appropriate description and provide a link to the relevant post.

It would be handy if the descriptions herein were up-to-date indications of the state of the locations...

[[folder:The Hub Town]]
The town is an oasis of new life and hope amid the ravaged landscape, where magic, technology and nature come together in synergy. Solar and wind power, renewable magic(k)s and a "green eco-friendly" ethos.
* '''Town Square:''' More circular than square but "Town Circle" sounds weird. There are trees and lawns and there's a notice board in the centre.
* '''Hotel:'''
* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=1#12 Solstice Café]]:''' On the edge of the circular square, near the hotel and visible from the parking lot. Standard breakfast fare, '''''really''''' creative with what they can do with eggs, amazing coffee.
* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=9#219 The Purple Fez Tavern]]:''' First building counter-clockwise from the West Gate road. Marked with a retro-futuristic neon sign.
* '''Restaurant:''' Next to the hotel on the edge of the square.
* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=27#comment-674 Crater]]:''' Wain Fallwen crashed his spaceship on the edge of town square next to the hotel and restaurant.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web of Friendship Scouter Hummingbird]]
A {{Magitek}} spaceship in geosynchronous orbit above the town, [[WetwareCPU piloted]] by [[CyborgHelmsman Arilay]]. Please note that Arilay regards this ship as an extension of her body, and as such, it is bad form to enter the body of a SpaceshipGirl without permission.
* '''Transporter Room:''' This room is built on a basic rectangle. One short end is entirely taken up by the teleporter (large enough to comfortably fit an elephant on it), which is slightly separated from the rest of the room by an armored half-wall just big enough for three people to duck and cover behind. The half-wall has a computer terminal embedded into it and joins one long side of the transporter room, which is dominated by an arranged row of {{spheroid dropship}}s up to the point where the half-wall attaches. The other long side has a quarantine airlock directly to Sick Bay situated between the teleporter pad and an entrance into the corridors leading to the rest of the ship. The wall section between the airlock and the corridor looks like the corridor walls — the wall is rough and knobbly like an exercise climbing wall and there's a dead-end pipe with an airlock into the aquatic express lane. The last short wall of the room has a large garage-like door next to a series of smaller crawl-space-sized access panels, all of which lead to a small storage room. Two mechanical tentacle-arms have free roam of the ceiling and can reach any point in the room for the purpose of assisting cargo or less mobile people on and off the teleporter pad.
* '''Sick Bay:''' Hovering pods for individual patients maneuver themselves from storage racks on the ceiling to various medical stations and rooms for patients.[[note]]descriptions of stations and sick rooms coming soon maybe[[/note]] Currently one pod is out of the room.
** '''Quarantine Room''': Uses a blueprint similar to a holding cell in The Brig.
** '''Medical Library''': For the purposes of brainstorming and memory-refreshing, you can grab an ebook, sit down among the shelves and browse the centralized computer databanks, or you can enter one of multiple small holodecks that are programmed to simulate elaborate three-dimensional StringTheory images.
* '''Corridors:''' With different lanes for [[BizarreAlienLocomotion different locomotions]], the corridors are complex enough to require a very detailed description. They twist and turn so that if the ArtificialGravity goes haywire, there's only a short distance to fall in each direction. Humanoids generally walk in the middle of the floor.
** '''Arboreal Express Lanes:''' Dangling from the high ceiling where it meets the walls are evenly spaced mixtures of criss-crossing tree-branch mockups, interrupted by the occasional trapeze or swinging ring. Such structures are limited to directly above the pipes (see below). The space above pedestrians' heads is not part of the ceiling jungle gym, for that's where the dimmer-bulb lights are installed.
** '''Aquatic Express Lanes:''' Where the floor meets the walls, large transparent water pipes run, curving through protruding wall corners. At regular intervals along the pipes are airlock-like escape hatches.
** '''[[MouseWorld Small Runner]] Express Lanes:''' In between the water pipes and the rest of the floor are two yellow lanes with small circular bumps, wide enough for a raccoon to run on. Additionally, the joints where the pipe sections attach to each other are decorated with short, evenly spaced rods lying parallel to the pipes. The rods' purpose is less than obvious -- miniature ladders for miniature crew members.
** '''Walls:''' The tall walls are rough with lots of inert knobs for handholds and footholds, with communications or maintenance panels positioned on strategically placed wall bulges. At regular intervals are hollows in the wall, each with a peculiar potted plant that looks like an African Violet except the leaves are black and the flowers glow. These plants are there just in case the lights and/or atmosphere control systems fail.
* '''Rec Room:''' A comfortably spacious room piled with bean bag chairs and blankets.
* '''The Brig:''' A series of holding cells, each with their own airlock, Faraday cage, and ''el-kor'' field. The el-kor field is the equivalent of a Faraday cage for blocking telepathy, telekinesis, and teleporting. Other security measures not yet specified.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Wilderness]]
* '''Ghost Town:''' Moderate-sized town (formerly around 7,000 occupants) that was abandoned years ago. The place has become overgrown and wild animals have set up habitats within it - rather like Pripyat in the Ukraine. Currently under TeleportInterdiction; teleport out of it is possible, but into or within it is not.
** '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=40#comment-977 General Store and Motel]]:''': These two buildings are across the street from each other. The motel has two shot bandit corpses inside, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=40#comment-993 one with his heart displaced]].
** '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=40#comment-992 Disused Well]]:''' This well is full of mud, hence why it's disused. One of the nearby buildings is on fire.
** '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=41#comment-1004 Clock Tower]]:''' A run-down tower with a giant clock missing its hands makes a decent but obvious vantage point for snipers.
** '''City Hall (former):''' A three-story building that once stood in the center of town. Used to serve as a base of operations for Black Morgan. Was leveled by an overzealous Haydn's fire spell during a raid on the building.
* '''Forest:''' A dark, forbidding forest populated by strange animals and scattered with overgrown ruins. There is a cave near the east edge, and an improvised leading from that cave to the edge, where all the vegetation has been either hacked down or trampled.
** '''Forest Ruins:''' A bunker and a radio tower overrun by kudzu. Supposedly contains an ancient repository on dragons. Animals tend to avoid the place.
* '''Smaller River:''' Originating within the Forest, the smaller river flows under The Scar and into the Harbor.
** '''Edge of the Forest:''' Sufficiently alert trackers will be able to notice [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=11#252 horse hair caught on the bark of the outermost trees]]. A few steps south into the grasslands, there's a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=15#353 D'voreem corpse with a broken skull]] lying in a trampled path of grass leading south.
** '''Intersecting The Scar:''' The muddy riverbanks both upstream and downstream of The Scar have lots of equine hoofprints. The northern riverbank's hoofprints upstream of The Scar has the majority of the hoofprints, muddled in every direction. The northern riverbank's hoofprints downstream of The Scar point downstream towards the sea. The southern riverbank's hoofprints downstream of The Scar point upstream, but do not reappear upstream of The Scar.
** '''Mouth of the Smaller River:''' RoadApples have been left along the beach. Discerning trackers will be able to tell the manure came from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=7#166 horses]]. The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=8#180 desperate, weak homunculus]] previously there was driven off.
* '''Grasslands''': In between the two rivers grows grass tall enough to tickle a horse's belly.
** '''Battlefield:''' Starting where the Smaller River exits the forest, a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=15#353 D'voreem corpse with a broken skull]] lies in a wide trampled path of grass leading south. Further along the trampled path, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=15#354 a large circle of grass]] has been trampled flat. In this circle is a headless D'voreem corpse, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=15#371 its head sliced cleanly off]] and missing somewhere in the untrampled grass, and its [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=19#453 torso is torn open with its heart missing]]. At the edge of this circle, another D'voreem corpse has been [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=15#371 thoroughly trampled]]. The trampled path of grass continues south to the Exsylvan Tributary.
* '''Larger River:''' This river has three tributaries from the Forest, Mt. Bifrons, and near the Necropolis. These three tributaries join and flow under The Scar and into the Harbor.
** '''Spirit Tributary:''' The first and longest tributary starts in between the Necropolis and Mt. Bifrons and flows north (within sight of the Necropolis) before taking a sharp turn for a long journey east (within sight of the edge of the Forest). Its waters carry a chill that is usually described as death-like.
** '''Bifrons Tributary:''' Originating from Mt. Bifrons' hot springs, this tributary flows north down the mountain and joins the Spirit Tributary where the river turns northeast. As the waters mingle, the last lingering warmth of the hot springs and the last lingering chill of the Necropolis cancel each other out.
** Tricky Section:[[note]]Administrivia/NeedsABetterName[[/note]] Caution is recommended for attempts to ford the river along this stretch. Sufficiently careful attempts will generally succeed, but getting cocky about it is TemptingFate.
** '''Exsylvan Tributary:''' Originating within the forest, this tributary flows east out of the forest and joins where the river turns east before flowing under The Scar.
*** '''Trail from Grassland Battlefield''' A [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=22#comment-534 wide path of trampled grass ends at the tributary's northern riverbank]], with scattered deposits of RoadApples directly [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=23#comment-574 across the tributary from the trail]].
** Seabound Section:[[note]]feel free to rename[[/note]] At this point, there's so much water that fording the river is dangerous and difficult, it is recommended that travelers cross at The Scar instead.
* '''Hellmouth:''' A piece of Hell that has merged with the world, where devils roam seeking mortal souls.
* '''Hollow Mounds:''' A cluttered group of skyscraper-sized termite nests. Its original inhabitants have been long gone, but many other beings may have made it their new home.
* '''Mount Bifrons:''' A twin mouthed volcano surrounded by a forest where rivers of lava flow around trees that have turned to black glass.
** '''The Lava Lake:''' A lake of lava sitting in the middle of the forest surrounding Mount Bifrons. May be home to a demon.
* '''Necropolis:''' A hill where the dead have slept through the ages. Towering Mausoleums overgrown by vegetation, graveyards built on top of buried pyramids, labyrinthine crypts that have no end nor beginning, and even long-abandoned archives holding lost knowledge. It is a peaceful region, silent and welcoming like an open grave.
** '''Avenue of Angels:''' A route through the Necropolis lined with ancient, uniform mausoleums, gnarled trees, and rather disturbing angel statues.
** '''Cody's Cove:''' A series of crypts where a wayward ten-year-old has decided to take up residence.
* '''Sun-Dry Sea:''' A dried up sea where coral and other sea life still lives, while alien jellyfish float freely through the air, and various beasts roam the ground.
** '''The Salt Swamp:''' A shallow group of puddles made of undrinkable salt water and hardy plants, home to small flies that feast on the corpses of nearby dead animals.
* '''"Ridge":''' A humongous canyon, filled with tough vegetation and wildlife, and rock formations in shapes possible only through erosion over time. Some of the walls sport large holes, though what made them does not seem to be around anymore.
* '''Rainforest:''' A relatively small but heavily overgrown wooded area. It's very warm and humid here, with frequent rainfall... in fact, the place generates its own climate. Home to many birds and giant insects and various treetop critters, and dotted with suspiciously deep pools, as well as a murky river with dolphins that may or may not be friendly.
** '''The Caves of the Abyss:''' The pools in the rainforest are just the surface of a vast network of water-filled caverns. The water is very clear and fresh but also very dark, and strange fish inhabit its depths. It also contains pockets of dry caverns above the water level, hidden within mounds in the rainforest.
** '''Northwest Scar Entrance:''' Just beyond the trees, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=32#comment-786 on the floor of The Scar]] is a bloodstain and thoroughly shattered bones missing their marrow. The remains are from a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=30#comment-727 juvenile moufreta]], but the bones are too fragmented to make that immediately obvious. A little further in, alert enough trackers will notice [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=36#comment-878 a light dusting of ash]] on the bottom of the trench.
** '''Path of Dead Trees:''' A trail of dead trees leading away from The Scar. Presumably, the missing child walked this way and the curse on him killed the trees. Seenarnha has left a dozen blue Christmas baubles at eye level along the trail, starting from The Scar. A yellow Christmas bauble marks where a dragonhorse split from the party.
** '''Mirage-Mangled Corpse:''' The trail of dead trees ends in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=55#comment-1363 a deadly mirage holding a small child's circulatory and nervous systems]] on display.
*** A {{spheroid dropship}} belonging to the Web of Friendship Scouter Hummingbird is parked nearby. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=57#comment-1411 Its beacon is active]] to broadcast a warning to stay away from the deadly mirage.
** '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15194176290A98089200&page=40#comment-999 Shriveled Moufreta Corpse]]:''' A short distance off the beaten track, a juvenile moufreta has had all its blood messily extracted through a rather large rasped hole in its neck.
* '''Warpfields:''' An abandoned battlefield warped by chaotic magics, where spellcasters must worry about magical backlash and possible mutations.
** '''Petrifying Pond:''' On the border of the Warpfields is a tiny pond, marked with three close-together stone trees and an unfortunate petrified duck. Don't drink or swim in it.
** '''Suspiciously Knobbly Ginormous Stone:''' Twenty miles east of the petrifying pond is a humongous stone. With the right perspective, it looks like a half-buried reptilian foot clenched into an approximation of a fist, but with too many digits that have too many joints.
* '''Wasteland:''' Nothing has grown here in centuries, nor is anything likely to ever grow again in the sterilized soil. Water isn't hard to come by, but precautions should be taken before drinking it. Numerous magical, technological and magitech ruins.
* '''Fields of Abyss:''' A gentle steppe pockmarked with enormous kilometer-wide holes ringed with metal that seem to drop down into the core of the planet itself. No one knows just why they're here or what they're for, but the locals- if one can even call the City's residents that- treat the area with a measure of reverence.
* '''Coast of Chills:''' This strip of coastland has stormy seas and high, chilling winds. The sea here is dotted by icebergs and windswept rock islands.
** '''Cave of Secrets:''' Nobody knows where the entrance to this cave is, except that it's somewhere on the Coast of Chills. Unlike the watery caves underneath the rainforest, these are supposedly dry.
* '''Harbor:''' Located right next to the city, it is the gateway for ocean travel around the continent. On the surface it seems benign, but who knows what hides beneath its gentle waters.
* '''Island:''' Located at the mouth of the harbor and home to interesting flora and strange landmarks.
** '''Island Ruins:''' Ruins with strange topology.
* '''The Scar:''' The Scar is an enormous concrete trench that wends a circuitous path across the breadth of the continent. Whatever process used to create it obliterated whatever terrestrial feature stood in its way without exception- forests, rivers, entire mountains- and left a uniform grey floor and slanted walls in their place. The Scar was named before the City's explorers charted it far enough to realize that it formed a closed loop, as the curvature is shallow enough so as to be unnoticeable from an individual perspective. At any given point, it appears to run straight, and those few parties that venture out from the City use it as a convenient road of sorts to get from place to place.

[[folder:Creatures]]
When wandering the wilderness, one is liable to encounter any number of creatures, dangerous or otherwise. Some are animals, while others are of a more anomalous nature. In either case, their origins are unknown, and wanderers are advised to be on their guard when exploring lest they run afoul of any of the local wildlife, such as it is.
* '''D'voreem:''' Large carnivorous primates (about 1.6-1.8m tall when standing erect on hind legs, 70-90kg). Humanlike hands, prehensile feet with elongated, finger-like, toes - all digits tipped with sharp non-retractable claws. Pointed snouts with sharp carnivorous teeth; large cat-like ears. Climb very well, jump considerable distances from branch to branch in arboreal settings, run on all fours at around 50km/h on the ground. Operate in packs of 10-20 individuals, preferring to surround their prey, use relay tactics to herd and tire their prey if necessary but will attack camp sites ''en masse'' or stalk, surround and ambush slower-moving prey. Prefer arboreal settings, found primarily in the Forest and Ghost Town.
* '''Graveskitter:''' An undead creature made from a collection of bones and half-rotten muscle tissue in the shape of a random number of vaguely insectoid legs, surrounding a small spherical core with a few eyes haphazardly strewn over it. They come in different sizes, but are usually never more than half a meter or so in width or height. They feed on WildMagic, especially the kind associated with necromancy or other dark arts, and can often be seen skittering about in haunted crypts or on battlefields where spells were used, sucking magic from the corpses to sustain themselves, conveniently making them stay dead. Graveskitters are mostly harmless and tend to flee when disturbed, but have been known to occasionally attack careless magic users. They hate sunlight and loud noises. Found primarily near the Hellmouth and in the Warpfields. Mysteriously absent from the Necropolis, aside from maybe one or two that went wandering.
* '''Zebreer:''' A herbivore with the appearance of a zebra with a deer-like head with black antlers. Usually found in Sun-Dry Sea, feeding on the hardy pale grasses that grow there, but can also be seen wandering around other nearby areas.
* '''Gloamfeeder:''' These beings resemble tall humanoid figures with mottled green-black skin. Each stands at least three meters tall, with elongated limbs and necks, and they have a massive vertical gash running from their eyeless heads down their entire front, throats and bellies open as if split with a blade. They are so named because, though sightings are rare, they can most commonly be glimpsed in the twilight hours feeding on corpses of the recently deceased, tearing them apart and shoving the pieces into their open maws. It is unknown if they are aggressive or simply scavengers, but it's not unheard of for people to go mysteriously missing when out wandering at dusk.
* '''Homunculus:''' Amorphous and vaguely humanoid masses of doughy flesh, Homunculi have the capacity to alter the shape and texture of their bodies to resemble other humanoids they encounter. They only do this however if the individual they are attempting to imitate is dead- or, in the case they are not, making sure of it themselves. Their bodies are capable of projecting chitinous spurs they use for attacking in close-quarters, and who knows what other offensive abilities. If left for long enough without a host, a Homunculus might attempt to imitate an inanimate object, though they will typically displace or destroy the original before attempting to do so- and humanoids are always preferred to objects. It is for this reason that a Homunculus that is posing as an object will attempt to kill and imitate the first living being it sees.
* '''Shriver:''' Six-limbed humanoids dressed head-to-toe in tattered dust-colored robes, ancient sigils tracing the hems and sleeves. The only thing visible of them beneath their robes is a long proboscis that hangs down from under their hoods, and few get close enough to discover more because- without exception- they attack all others on sight. Shrivers can conjure a black mass of corrosive particles which they hurl at trespassers, and like a swarm of locusts under the Shriver's direction, these particles follow and devour their target until nought but bleached bones remain.
* '''Skvader:''' A small six-limbed herbivore that resembles a feathered hare or rabbit with two wings sprouting from it's back. While incapable of true flight, these creatures can often be seen performing impressive feats of jumping and gliding. Both the skvaders themselves and their large, oddly colorful eggs are considered quite delicious by some people. They are attracted by the scent of alcoholic beverages. Found primarily in the Forest, Ridge and Ghost Town areas.
* '''Aeon-bloom:''' an unusual plant, with an underground rhizome and thorny, twisted, entangled stalks protruding from the ground. At the top of each there is a large flower with spiral pieces, stamens becoming white petals, petals becoming green leaves and leaves shrinking into thorns as it grows, so it always seems to be blooming. The tips of the petals emit a faint, pulsating green glow in the night, as if it was sending a signal. The plant is indeed doing so, and should someone decode it they would notice that the plant is monitoring soil conditions and broadcasting said information. They are specially common in the Graveyard, and almost completely absent in the Sun-dry Sea, the Wasteland and Mount Bifrons.
* '''Moufreta:'''
** Juveniles of the species are frail, 2 meter long, raptor-like omnivores with lanky, underdeveloped bat-wing-like arms. While highly curious, they aren't terribly bright, and can be quite aggressive.
** Adults can grow up to 15 meters or more, with a distinct theropod build. They can fly and breath fire.
* '''Ashwalker:''' These creatures resemble emaciated corpses with ashen skin, with heads like slugs, grey blobs with a single puckered orifice in the center that belches fire. Metal objects held in their grip as improvised weapons inexplicably become red-hot, and though individually they are fairly weak, their ashen nature makes them unnaturally tough and they are rarely found alone. Ashwalkers are invariably hostile to strangers and adventurers, and what's more, they appear to share some degree of collective consciousness. It has been commonly observed that if one of them notices a fresh victim, all of them become aware of the intruder.
* '''Mirage:''' A flicker, an odd reflection, a shimmering silhouette. These may be the last things you ever see. It is unknown whether Mirages can even truly be called creatures, but the threat they pose is mythical to the City's residents. Mirages are typically bound to specific areas, which become incredibly dangerous to traverse. Victims are found arranged in impossible positions- limbs bent at mathematically precise angles, partially phased through the environment, or even just hanging in mid-air, body sectioned and re-arranged into a collage of carnage that all who gaze upon it can't help but describe as inexplicably beautiful.
* '''Witch Snake:''' A nocturnal snake dwelling in forests, plains, or anywhere where small rodents may dwell. Identified by a purple and black diamond pattern. While they have fangs, they are not venomous... in the usual sense. Instead they provoke prey into biting them back and squirt their corrosive blood into the wound. What is even more peculiar about them is their innate magical ability; their blood contains a curse that makes it even more corrosive and also eats away at a victim's life force. Additionally, they are very difficult to kill; they are thought to become undead after reproducing. On the flip side, they are quite intelligent and easy to tame, and leave much larger creatures alone unless threatened. Due to being attracted to ambient magic, quite a few of them inhabit the Warpfields and the Hellmouth.
* '''Sneeder Bird:''' Named after their call (which sounds like "'''Snee'''der, '''snee'''der, '''snee'''der, '''sneet'''!"), this stealthy bird likes to hide and sing at dawn and dusk, trying to lure predators (for example, humans) into a fruitless chase. The longer a sneeder bird can hold the attention of a predator without being spotted, the more impressed the sneeder bird's potential mates will be. The song has a psychic component to [[CuriosityKilledTheCast artificially boost the curiosity of other species to dangerous levels]]. This bird can be heard everywhere, but favors staging its chases in areas with less visibility, like forests and buildings.
* '''Wild Pigplant:''' Basically a pig with chlorophyll in its skin. Mainly sunbathes and scavenges corpses, but also eats plants in a pinch. Can be distinguished from its domesticated counterpart by the thorns and tusks, erect ears, {{red eyes|TakeWarning}}, HairTriggerTemper, and superior strength, speed and intelligence.
* '''Domestic Pigplant:''' Basically a pig with chlorophyll in its skin. Mainly sunbathes and eats farmer-provided slop. Can be distinguished from its wild counterpart by floppy ears, green eyes, dimwitted and docile nature, slow flabby muscles gone to waste, and lack of thorns and tusks.

!!Guidelines
[[folder:Guidelines]]
#The OP (Chihuahua0) has a set of characters. Cathy (the owner), Brent (the bartender), Carl (the cook) and Stephanie (the housekeeper). While the former is controllable by only one person, other players can direct the other three for the sake of roleplaying, since they are considered [[{{NPC}} NPCs]].
#No fighting. Cathy, the owner of the Cantina, has a set of rules that she can enforce. She has the ability to easily fling someone to the other side of the room, or even reject the person from the Cantina. If it's not Cathy, it's either Brent with the laser shotgun or Carl and Stephanie with their powers.
#See the rooms on the second floor? [[SexyDiscretionShot Use them]], but don't dwell in them too long.
#Don’t try to put in ContinuityCreep. Although the Cantina has many rooms, most of them are closed for the entirety of this thread. Use what limited resources you have to create compelling conflict.
#Once things slow down, the end game will be started by the OP (Chihuahua0) in a similar fashion than Carnival. However, destruction will not be involved, only mayhem.

!Mansion

!!Locations
[[folder:Outside]]
!!Outside
The mansion is situated in a chilly coastal marsh: a large, treeless, grassy, mucky swamp gently leading out into the ocean, filled with mushrooms, insects, crabs, oysters, small birds, and the musty scent of still water, with a hint of salt. Those with an enthusiasm for nature in all its forms might find it an enjoyable place to explore, but for the rest, it is a sloggy, wet, buggy, shoe-destroying waste. The ocean itself is just as chilly as the air: the daring might find a brief dip invigorating, and the cold-resistant might enjoy a swim, but for the rest it is best appreciated at a distance.

The mansion itself is built in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_architecture Georgian style]]: square shapes and red bricks dominate. It is set upon a stone foundation, an island of stability in the soft swamps. Those who examine it will find it the foundation was not built, but rent from the very earth by some sort of geomancy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:First Floor Rooms]]
!!Entry Hall
The entry hall is well-decorated, if slightly minimalist. It divides the mansion in half near-perfectly and heads from the front all the way to the back. The floor is a dark, hard wood – possibly birch or maple – and covered with a sanguine carpet. Paneling of the same wood lines the lower halves of the walls, interrupted at roughly equal intervals by a door, three to each side. The ceiling arches two stories above; coupled with both the length and breadth of the room, this provides a rather spacious feeling. There are no sculptures, paintings, or indeed any kinds of art at all in the hall; that is the domain of the art gallery.

!!Parlor
Wreathed in luxurious accoutrements the parlor is a room into which members of the house can retreat for more privacy. It was most commonly used this way when two men wish to discuss politics, or the swath of other topics not considered conventionally polite by the manners of the time. That is to say, most of them.

It is also used as a place where the head of the household can entertain guests, as is considered the duty of any good host. To both of these ends, the room is tastefully furnished with a set of very expensive looking mahogany furniture. A long table took up the center of the room, almost dividing it in half in a way, with chairs pushed in around it. Off to the side was an oxblood chaise longue back against the wall, and glass cabinets to either side of it displayed a wide array of odd and in some cases arcane-looking bits and bobs. It is a diverse collection, with each group of artifacts fitting a certain theme or bearing a certain commonality. Many of them, clustered in groups, looked to be related or of the same origin.

A stack of periodicals rest on a rack near the door which look to cover a wide variety of topics, and some of the titles might be familiar to those who might care to browse- though one can only guess how the Mansion’s enigmatic host managed to get his hands on some of the more recent editions.

A wide fireplace dominated the southern wall, coals smoldering quietly within it. A loose ring of recliners huddled around it, rich with the warmth of the hearth. A gold-hilted sword rested on a mount atop the mantlepiece, and a pair of stuffed heads hung from plaques either side of the chimney, evidently trophies from some previous hunt or exploit. One was what appeared to be a single saucer-shaped eye gazing sightlessly out of a spheroid, meatball-esque face. This face had another feature, a massive gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth that split the face wide in an almost comical pac-man style grin. The other trophy appeared to be the severed head of some kind of hobgoblin creature, complete with yellowed teeth and tusks sprouting up from its gums. By the wideness of its brow and the set of its eyes, an onlooker might be struck by the feeling that it had been sentient once. Inscribed below the first head was the word Planescape, and below the second, Greyhawk.

!!Smoking Room
The smoking room is cast tastefully in burgundy. Whether by accident or design, the scent of what has been smoked here has not cleared, but it isn't oppressive, either. Rich, somewhat heady smells waft through the air, lingering on the edge of perception.

In the center is assortment of comfy chairs arranged around a long coffee table, on which rest several crystalline ash trays. They look somewhat out of place among the plush upholstery, being not made of glass but instead some kind of blue amethyst, roughly hewn and sanded down. The floor is carpeted, a rich green not unlike the manor grounds outside, which are visible through three windows on the room’s eastern wall. A set of velvet drapes hang pinned up around each of them, and a crystal chandelier of the same eerie blue crystal as the ash trays is suspended from the center of the roof.

Cupboards to the north and south sides hold cases of exquisite cigars and other tobacco products, as well as florid decanters of some of the choicer drinks that could be found down in the basement wine cellar. Near them are a pair of visible hatches that open to a compartment that is magically refrigerated. Packed inside are innumerable cubes of ice along with a delicate assortment of saltwater taffies. The mansion’s owner seems to particularly enjoy these, as a box of them sits open and half-finished near the end of the coffee table.

!!Art Gallery
The art gallery is a fairly large open room the walls of which are hung with a myriad of tapestries. Its floor is set in a pattern of maroon tiles and subtly lit by lamps hanging from fittings around the room. Light seemed very important to the Mansion’s owner in this room, seeming to regard the ambient light as just as integral a part of the viewing experience as the artworks themselves.

The gallery is home to not only paintings, but also various sculptures, artifacts, and other curiosities that sit in glass cases or on rectangular pedestals. Here one can find a stone tablet inscribed with a string of faintly pulsating runes, while there might be the fossilized remains of some long-dead creature with a bone structure so alien that an observer would have trouble telling it from a piece of coral. Benches are dotted about so that patrons may sit and observe some of the works, though in most cases one would need to stand to see any of the gallery’s items up-close.

!!Dining Room
A room large enough to hold a feast. It has a number of square tables that could, in theory, be combined into a single massive one. But in the time-honored tradition of transdimensional hotspots everywhere, they are instead scattered about the room and surrounded by chairs for people whose primary desire is to eat, talk, and have a firm sense of exactly whom they are socially expected to interact with.

A number of insectoid, brass clockwork creatures float silently above, ostensibly supported by comical, dirigible-esque balloons but actually kept aloft by magic. Although utterly uninterested in the conversations below, they are swift and efficient waiters who have a way of being where they're needed right when they're needed.

!!Kitchen
The kitchen appears very old fashioned at first glance, as if left untouched since the mid-19th century. But a chef will soon notice that this is skeuomorphic design. All the modern appliances of a modern master's kitchen are present, but shaped to not interrupt the feel of the room.

A number of small, clean brass contraptions scuttle about, keeping a polite distance from people. Like the room, they are more advanced than they appear: although at first glance clockwork contraptions, when necessary they can occasionally be seen melting their mechanisms into a gray goo and reforming to a more useful shape. A nearby note explains that they will obey any cooking-related directives, whether it be outright preparing food or simply helping another chef who wishes to do so themselves.

!!Study
The study is a room in dark greens, with a number of comfortable couches arranged in a circle around a coffee table, as if left that way from some meeting of a book club. There are also three desks, each containing a computer which appears to be functionally identical to a modern one, but whose clear case reveals that the insides are entirely clockwork. That each is still functionally a modern computer with a familiar operating system suggests both powerful magic and a desire to irritate engineers and scientists.

!!Library
The owner keeps a wide variety of books in this library, a place filled with the wonderful scent of old paper. Ancient tomes, powerful spellbooks, and classic novels, are present. But the owner isn't living the past, and has also seen fit to keep books more commonly associated with popular culture than higher learning. There's something strangely intuitive about the way the books are arranged as well -- the patterns just seem to fall in place, meaning one will quickly find whatever book they seek. (The possibility of benign mental magic cannot be dismissed, but nor can it be detected if one looks.)

The only thing the library lacks is pornography. Unless one counts owner's "erotica". (The difference between the two appears to be the length of words used, artistic aspirations, and lack of pictorial aids.)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Second Floor Rooms]]
!!Balcony
The back third of the entry hall is also home to a balcony overlooking the room. Accessible by a staircase on the back wall, the landing opens up to two more rooms on each. For those who wish to talk here, or eavesdrop on those below, a small table and several chairs are set up. The chairs are rather subdued, with small cushions on the seats and none on the arms, but always provide comfort. A window on the rear wall looks out over the grounds behind the mansion.

!!Master Bedroom
Surprisingly (or perhaps not), the master bedroom is about as subdued as the rest of the house, although a little less so. The bed is a gargantuan four-poster, with crimson hangings, fine sheets, and more than enough room for two people. Evidently, whoever had it made slept quite restlessly. However, no one else who uses it will; to sleep on it is to sleep within the gentle caress of a cirrus cloud. There is a large selection of pillows, with a wide variety in how plump they are, able to suit everyone’s needs.

The closet is large enough to be a walk-in, with plenty of shelves and hangars, although it is empty at the moment. The mirror on the outside is mounted to the wall, rather than the door, and is quite large. Its frame is finely engraved with smooth, flowing designs not unlike ocean waves. The dresser, painted a uniform white all over, is a bit smaller than one would expect, but the drawers appear to be larger on the inside after a quick look-over. A lowboy vanity is positioned in one corner, made from a bright chestnut, but it gives the feeling of having rarely been used; perhaps it was an unwanted gift. A few small busts and a painting are dotted around the room to give it a bit more ambiance. The painting is of a small schooner heading into a gorgeously painted sunrise on a foggy morning. Its style is Impressionist, and brings to mind Monet’s “Impression, Sunrise” for those in the know.

!!Bathroom
The bathroom is decorated a bit more than it might need to be. Where some would have minimized, if not utterly eschewed, decoration and made the room merely functional, here, objects are made in high quality. Marble, in particular, appears to be in abundance; the counter is topped with it, and the shower appears to be carved from a single, flowing block. The handles on the drawers, the faucets and sinks, and the showerhead are all a brighter-than-normal brass and decorated in a way that suggests whoever did so had too much time on their hands. Dark wood makes up the floor, covered by a large shag rug.

In general, the bathroom is fairly large. The shower is rather spacious for one person, almost suggestively so. Two different sinks, sharing a single long mirror, allow for two people to converse as they clean. However, there’s still only one toilet; there are some things not meant to be shared. A small room connects the bathroom to the master bedroom and the balcony in the main hall.

!!Guest Rooms
The guest bedrooms are arranged more-or-less the same, for ease of cleaning and such. A twin bed in each, with excellent mattresses and those really soft sheets that you really wish you had but are too stingy to get because they’re just bedsheets, and who spends that much money on bedsheets? The head- and footboards of the beds are a warm, soft mahogany, carved with a remarkable amount of flourish for something that isn’t seen when it’s being used properly. However, they are not flawless; there are little chips here and there in the boards of the bed in the northern room, as well as a few places where the finish has been worn off.

Each room also contains large dresser with remarkably roomy drawers. Their handles are well-shined brass; a bit of style was needed, and gold plating was too opulent. To provide maximum contrast, the dressers are painted a glossy black. For those who prefer a more organized approach, there are also closets, each with a large amount of empty metal hangars. The doors double as full-bodied mirrors, for the vain, and the particularly observant will notice that not a single speck of dust ever seems to meander within two inches of the glass.

Unfortunately for the guests, neither room is connected to a bathroom. A vestibule of sorts connects the two together, and this opens on to the balcony. The vestibule is rather bare, with only an ancient vase on a small table for decoration. This room and the guest rooms share a floor design, a soft cream-colored carpet. The tint is uniform throughout, in spite of the color almost inviting dust, dirt, and grime to ruin it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Basement]]
!!Wine Cellar
The name is, in fact, something of a misnomer: wine is but one of the many forms of liquor housed in this comfortable cool den, which also includes a vast array of liquors -- not all of terrestrial origin. In fact, search long enough (and ignore the pulse of energy that may or may not be magic spontaneously converting energy to surprisingly complex matter) and you'll find whatever intoxicant you seek, no matter how obscure or patently illegal it is. But the real centerpiece is the owner's own wines. As well as being a smooth, flavorful vintage, they are a miraculous mixture of science, magic, and things that manage to be neither which will intoxicate any creature in the multiverse. (Unless their creator-god has absolutely no sense of fun, of course.)

The cellar also contains a fully-stocked bar, for those who want something to sit around, or a place to mix together concoctions of whatever sort they desire -- as well as a number of premixed Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters, just waiting for some poor soul to try them.

An elevator can be found sitting enigmatically in the corner. It doesn’t look particularly reliable, but it’s held together by a combination of powerful magic and mundane duct tape, ensuring its safety despite appearances.

!!Underground Garden
It's hard to tell just how far below ground this grotto is: the elevator rapidly brings its passengers to the cave and back, but various inertial dampening spells make it far smoother than any normal elevator. The only evidence those within have that the elevator is in motion at all is the rattling of various gears -- why this disconcerting cacophony is not muffled by spells is a mystery. Those who try to discern their location with magic or technology while in it will find they are very deep indeed.

The air down here is filled with a subterranean chill, and glowing crystals of a blue, amethyst-like stone illuminate the garden well enough to see, although the glow is eerie to the human eye and many shadowy nooks remain. But it's enough for the strange vineyard that dominates the cavern. There are a number of fungi, most prominently a field of plump, purple, helmet-shaped mushrooms. A waterfall fills a small pond used to irrigate the grapes, but the water is just as cold as the air.

!!Sparring Room
A wide open room. Its floor is soft enough to cushion falls, but close examination will reveal it is made up of countless soft millimeter-wide hexagonal tiles that can be raised and lowered on request to simulate height and uneven terrain. The wall is similarly padded to ensure those hurled against it aren't ''too'' severely damaged, and a first-aid kit is nearby. On a weapon rack lie a number of staves, kendo swords, paintball guns, and other such training weapons, including some very "impractical" and obscure ones.

A drone, appearing to be a clockwork gyrocopter with a comically old-fashioned camera, floats around the room, broadcasting the battle to the theater. It never seems to actively try and avoid any of the attacks, weapons, or spells the combatants fire at each other, but it nonetheless has an uncanny way of being wherever they are not, and it always manages to keep a good view of the fight

!!Theater
Small by the standards of theaters, but most unquestionably a theater nonetheless, with red plush chairs, lit walkways, and of course a massive screen. The only oddity is the large empty circle in the center -- for those that have abandoned two-dimensional screens in favor of three-dimensional holograms, a few button presses at the projectionist's booth can reconfigure the entire room towards the circle and its holographic display.

A carnival-style popcorn machine stands at back of the room, as well as a large, old-fashioned soda fountain with the usual offerings... and a number of extra taps with plain white labels and a pencil lying nearby. A note taped beside the blank tapes helpfully explains that one has but to write their drink of choice upon a tap, enjoy, and not worry too much about logistical details.

The projector is a disarmingly simple machine: the projector itself, a tray, and a switch with three options: "sparring room", "film", and "off". A note nearby explains that one merely needs to place the medium to be played in the tray, and not worry too much about how, exactly, the projector manages to automatically interpret it. Scrawled on the bottom in a different hand is the dire warning: "placing multiple films in the tray will result in terrible, procedurally generated crossover fics." Below that, yet another warning: "the unwatchable kind of terrible, not the hilarious kind."

!!Guidelines
[[folder:Guidelines]]
* While the host is a very libertine individual, and will not expect guests to cling to conventional etiquette, fighting outside sparring rooms in the basement would be... frowned upon.
* The various drones and robots described here can be assumed to be swift and competent -- you need not wait for somebody else to post them bringing food and drinks.
* The mansion's supplies of food and drink are more than adequate, and the host is very eager to let both flow freely. The stories that are shared and formed here are payment enough.
[[/folder]]

!Inn

!!Basic Information
* There is no force field that prevents violence, but the inn's security is more than prepared to handle any sort of altercation. One can use the dojo's second floor for friendly spars, but elsewhere start fights at your own risk.
* You don't have to wait for the {{Non Player Character}}s for such things as checking in and getting food ordered, although the five listed under "host characters" below will usually be happy to converse with guests if they so desire.
* The stay is more or less completely free, as is the owner's wishes, despite the fact that some of the staff desire otherwise. Do be warned that your characters will be held responsible for any major damage[[note]]To elaborate, your characters don't have to worry about accidentally leaving a scratch on the wall or getting the carpet muddy. They will wind up paying for it if they smash the phonograph, blow up a toilet, burn a room down, etc.[[/note]] they might cause, however.

!!Locations

[[folder:Outside (Lower Level)]]
The inn sits directly at the foot of one of the mountains. The land it sits on bears the appearance of a flat surface carved out of the mountainside, although the slope at the inn's base is only a gentle downwards slope. The slope behind the inn is considerably steeper, however.

The inn itself is built in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoin-zukuri Shoin-zukuri style]], mostly out of wood. It's colored very plainly in shades of naturalistic brown and tan. Its two most notable features are its large, sloping roof, and the fact that it seems to be built into the mountain's slope. It also has quite a few windows (mostly marking guest rooms), and the entrance is a large sliding door.

A dirt path leads up to the front of the inn. About twenty feet away from the inn, a roughly fifteen-foot high, mostly red [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torii Torii]] stands over the path. For one reason or the other, travelers often appear underneath this Torii, and just as often leave by walking underneath it.

The surrounding area mostly consists of bamboo forest. It has not been heavily explored, so there are probably some secrets hiding in there....
[[/folder]]

[[folder:First Floor]]
Internally, the inn very closely follows the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washitsu Washitu style]]; tatami floors abound, and the grand majority of doors are sliding (although the guest room doors are hinged with locks, in the interest of keeping them secure).

!!Entry Hall
The entry hall is the largest room in the inn, and also the most decorated. Coloful murals depicting one event or another decorate the walls above the doors, and the doors themselves are also marked with artwork. In between the doors are large, padded chairs in which guests with nothing better to do can sit down in to rest or possibly chat with the other guests or a bored member of the staff. The opposite end of the room from the main entrance has the check-in desk sitting in the middle, above which is yet another large mural. On either side of the desk are stairways leading up to the rooms and down to the theater.

To the right of the desk, sitting right next to the stairway entrance, is an oddly out-of-place [[http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/PTCDCS3UIP_large.jpg old-fashioned phonograph]], sitting on a rectangular stand. It's usually playing an ambient tune of some sort, although perhaps it might play other types of music if one decides to fiddle around with it.

!!Dining Area/Kitchen
The dining area actually consists of two sub-rooms: the dining room itself, and a kitchen, split in about a three-to-one ratio.

The dining room is colored warmly in shades of orange and gold. A large mural depicting a Japanese landscape stretches across all four walls, and the floor is covered with a fine carpet. There are easily enough tables to fit as many patrons as the inn can hold. The menu mostly consists of traditional Japanese dishes, although if one would desire a different sort of meal the chefs are skilled enough to prepare it (even if it's something they might not have heard of).

The kitchen is normally off-limits to guests, although if one is insistent on cooking their own meals it's certainly possible to get in. It's designed mostly for functionality, with everything one could possibly need for cooking. The ovens, dishwashers, and so on look archaic, but are actually very sophisticated and work much like their more modern-looking counterparts elsewhere.

!!Bar
A large wooden bar fills the right side of this room, accessible from the Entrace Hall, just to the left of the Dining Area. A variety of drinks are on display on shelves behind the counter, mostly focusing on Japanese classics such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake Sake]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dch%C5%AB Shochu]], but still including a healthy selection of beers, wines, and other popular drinks. In addition, there are a variety of more exotic spirits available from stores less visible, including [[GargleBlaster many that only the wise (or crazy) would order]]. Seating is available along the bar, or on the left side, with windows facing outward towards the entrance path and bamboo forest.

!!Indoor Spring/Bathing Area
Upon entering, one would notice a split, the left side for women, and the right side for men. Upon entering each side, there is a small changing room with lockers and rental swimsuits, leading into showers. Traditionally, one should clean thoroughly before entering the springs themselves, so as to not dirty the natural water.

Once clean, doors on each side lead into separate luxurious interior bathing areas, with rock-lined pools of invitingly hot water. The natural waters are sourced directly from co-located hot springs, and provide salts and minerals to rejuvenate and cleanse the soul as well as the body. Of course, all potentially harmful chemicals or microorganisms have been filtered out, but it's still considered bad form to drink the spring water.

!!Game Room
Inside one would find a wide variety of games available for use. Obvious Japanese classics, such as Go and Shogi are prominent in the center of the room, already set up. However, there are plenty of empty wooden tables, and an impressive selection of board and card games are to be found on the shelves along the wall. Further in, one would even see folding tables for almost any game one might want to play, and even some stations that look like video game simulators.

!!Theater
The theater is the sole room on a basement level, reached by going down at the stairways instead of up. While fairly small for a theater, it is more than large enough to hold as many guests as the inn can manage. It is also fairly lavishly decorated with paintings of various sorts decorating the ceiling and walls. As with most modern theaters, the seats are cushioned and arranged in such a manner that each row is lower than the one after it.

A large white screen sits at the very bottom. It's obviously there for whatever movies the guests may want to watch, and in this it performs admirably. If plays, operas, and suchlike are more one's thing, however, the screen can be pulled up to reveal a large stage. Guests can try their hand at acting on their own provided they can find suitable props, but if that fails there's a few members of the staff who will be more than happy to put on a show themselves (though the selection is usually limited to depictions of Japanese myths).

In the back of the theater, separated from the rest by a thin wall and two more sliding doors, is a snack bar built into the center of the wall as well as a small, sliding door right next to it on the left. The snack bar offers a surprisingly wide array of refreshments from all over, meant to appeal to all sorts of tastes.

The small door, meanwhile, opens up into a rather cramped stairway that leads up to the projector room. Compared to the lavishness of the main theater, it's plain and designed more for function than for beauty. The projector itself is a fairly advanced modern model that's more than a little out of place, designed for both maximum film quality and to make removing and inserting films easy to the point where even the most inexperienced can manage it with ease. Film is stored in a closet in the back of the room, behind yet another sliding door. Oddly enough, one will always find the movie they are searching for, no matter where and when it's from.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Second Floor]]
Compared to the more exquisite appearance of the first floor, the second floor is quite plain in design. The colors, while bright, are rather plain, and the murals and paintings that decorated the walls of the first floor are absent.

!!Hallways
The hall splits in three directions from the stairs. In the back is another door that opens up onto the path leading up the mountainside. The hallways to the left and right, meanwhile, are lined with entrances to the guest rooms. There are twenty rooms present, numbered from 100 to 120.

!!Guest Rooms
In contrast to the sliding doors elsewhere in the inn, the doors that serve as entrances to the guest rooms are more modern hinged doors, with surprisingly modern locks that utilize a keycard system. Beyond this door is a small entrance hall, separated from the main room by a more congruous sliding door.

The rooms themselves are fairly spacious. Each one is equipped with a private bathroom with modern-looking plumbing, a futon mattress, and a small table in the center of the room. There's also a massive window that provides an excellent view of the surrounding environment. Next to the window is a small alcove containing a small painting and a statue. There seems to be enough room there for guests to add their own decorations if they wish.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Outside (Mountain)]]
!!Mountain Path
A second dirt path extends from the inn's back door and leads up the mountain quite a ways. The bamboo forest from below still extends up here, although it gets thinner as one goes higher. The path ends upon reaching the garden.

!!Garden
The garden is a large, circular area that sits on another shelf-like area. The plants within are mostly varied native Japanese flora, including plenty of flowers and more than a few groves of trees, although there are likely to be quite a few plants from elsewhere if one looks hard enough. The center of the garden is marked by a large pond ringed by stones, with stone paths radiating from it much like spokes on a wheel. Smaller paths link these paths together at varying points.

Overlooking the pond is what could best be described as a shrine of sorts. A structure consisting of four pillars holding up a domed roof holds up a large, gray bell, with four sets of stairways arranged at 90 degree angles leading up to it. While there is a bell hammer leaning against one of the pillars, there is also a sign nearby that reads, "Ringing the bell without good reason is prohibited." Some ways below that, another notice reads, "Simple curiosity does not count as a good reason."

There is no path that leads further up the mountain, but at the same time there are no fences or gates in place to prevent anyone from trying to go up further. Perhaps there's more to see up there...?

!!Dojo
The dojo sits off to the right side as one enters the garden. It is a sizable two-story building, with the same sloping roof and sliding doors as the inn. It opts for a more vibrant color scheme consisting of reds and golds as opposed to the inn's dull coloration.

The first floor eschews the tatami mats of the inn in favor of a hardwood floor. The design is largely barebones and favors functionality over beauty, although there are a few murals depicting battle scenes higher up on the walls. The main room is easily large enough to allow all sorts of exercise to take place. If weight lifting is more one's style, the far right side of the room, separated from the main area by yet another group of sliding doors, consists of a number of surprisingly modern exercise machines and weight benches.

The far left side of the room, meanwhile, is mostly marked by the stairway to the second floor. This side of the room also consists of a large weapons rack with a wide array of choices.

The second floor serves more as a sparring area. It has much the same aesthetic as the first floor, although the floors and walls are covered in padding to lessen the damage caused by potentially getting slammed against the floor or flung against the walls.

!!Tea House
Off to the left side of the Garden is the tea house, suspended above the ground on wooden stilts, stairs leading up to what appears to be a relatively simple patio where one might sip tea and contemplate the mysteries of the multiverse. However, inside there is a medium-sized [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chashitsu formal tea room]], where all the necessary materials for a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_tea_ceremony Japanese tea ceremony]] can be provided, if one were to be so inclined. Otherwise, the patio provides excellent views and the staff is more than happy to serve guests here in a more casual capacity.

!!Outdoor Spring
If one were to instead follow a split in the path off to the left, before entering the garden, one would find themselves in a small open area within the Bamboo forest. Within is a rock-lined hot spring, with invitingly steamy hot natural water, filled by a small rock waterfall. There is a small building nearby with individual showers and changing areas, for one to clean off and change into swimsuits, if one is so inclined, as in this location, all guests bathe in the same spring.

!Halloween

!!Locations

[[folder:The Grounds]]
[[http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee492/qrtxian/qrtxian001/halloweenlayoutv3.png Map]]

A sprawling region that surrounds the castle. The castle itself sits upon a craggy cliff that rises up to overlook the surrounding forest. An old dirt path runs through a cleared part of the forest and up the slope to the castle gates.

!!The Forest
A tangled morass of trees, some in autumn colors and some of them leafless and dead. Some parts are clear enough to offer paths for visitors to explore. A few of the trees near the edge of the forest are strung with orange lights, but the vast majority have none and cast thick shadows as the sun sets. At night, the forest is full of the hooting of owls and, in the distance, the howling of wolves with a disturbingly-humanlike element to them.

!!The Graveyard
A small patch of land set aside for the remains of the castle's staff, it is fenced off but accessible. An empty gravedigger[=/=]caretaker's house sits at the front. Inside, a wide variety of gravestones and markings exist. During the day, it's a peaceful place of remembrance, but once night falls, it's rather more intimidating.

!!The Pumpkin Patch
A thick patch of pumpkins to the side of the path, overlooked by slightly disturbing-looking scarecrows that don't seem to do anything to prevent the patch from housing more than its full share of corvids. This might have something to do with the fact that they aren't always there...

[[folder:The Castle]]
[[http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee492/qrtxian/qrtxian001/halloweencastlecenterv2.png Map]]

An old castle in the Gothic style, with soaring, craggy towers and steep walls. Built from dark grey stone, it looms over the surrounding area. Though it has been kept clean and intact, there are only a few modern conveniences inside. The inhabitants of the castle are curiously absent, though visitors might see a black cat or two roaming the halls. Writers should feel free to invent new areas as they stray off the map, keeping to [[http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee492/qrtxian/qrtxian001/castleoverviewm1.png the basic outline.]]

!!Entrance Hall
A simply-decorated room with stairs and huge, ornate doors. It is lit only by a single chandelier hanging over the center of the room, and is full of cobwebs in the corners.

!!Dungeons[=/=]Crypts
Visitors following the staircase down from the entrance hall will be let out into a well-lit but stark antechamber, with entrances on the left and right respectively leading to the castle's dungeons and crypts. The details of what they contain are left open to writer invention.

!!Ballroom
An elegant if dusty room decorated with astronomical motifs. Two huge chandeliers are solidly affixed to the ceiling. The center of the room is a circular dance floor. Several tables, chairs, and benches are set to the sides.

!!Parlor
A small room decorated mostly in shades of green, with comfortable chairs and a fireplace. This room seems curiously immune to the unearthly aura pervading the rest of the castle.

!!Dining Room
A long, narrow table dominates this high-ceilinged room, that seems to have room for more no matter how many visitors are sitting at it. The light fixtures in the dining hall are all covered with cobwebs and flicker intermittently. Before night falls, much of the light in this room comes from windows set high in the walls.

!!Gallery
A long room with the floor covered by a dusty red carpet, this room is home to a collection of paintings and portraits of the castle's past (and long-dead) owners. Naturally - and especially as the night grows darker - their details tend to change when people aren't looking, and the eyes of the portraits sometimes seem to follow people.

!!Long Hallway
Running the length of the center part of the castle, this room has no lighting save for a few torches. It's dominated by a huge skylight covered in indefinably-unsettling stained glass artwork.

!!Central Tower
A winding staircase lit by flickering candlelight leads up inside this tower, periodically letting off into side rooms. Most of these are ornately-furnished but clearly long disused bedrooms, but the first room visitors will pass is a small[=/=]library, dominated by a huge portrait of an elderly man with a piercing gaze. At the top of the tower is a small but intricately-designed observatory that is full of cobwebs. (Writers should feel free to improvise details of other towers along similar lines).

!!Clock Tower
The upper portion of this tower is home to much of the castle's bat population, but this doesn't seem to stop it from periodically tolling out the time. The details are otherwise open to writer interpretation.

!!West Wing
Characters exiting the doors on the east side of the Long Hallway will find themselves in the castle's West Wing. While many of the rooms here are open to writer invention, one important fixed location does exist:

!!The "Fear Room"
Unlike the rest of the castle, where the various spooky events of Halloween night are essentially harmless, characters venturing inside this room may encounter things they find truly frightening, or otherwise deeply revealing of the psyches. Though no physical harm may come from entering this room, it can have a powerful effect upon the mind, and a sign reading "Do Not Enter" is affixed to the door in warning. Writers should feel free to heavily improvise when it comes to what their characters encounter should they disregard this warning, and cooperation is encouraged.

!!Guidelines
[[folder:Guidelines]]
* Tonally, Character Halloween is meant to be '''creepy but good fun'''. Writers are actively encouraged to have minor spooky events occur, and increase in number as the time in the thread grows later. However, this is not a horror-themed thread: these events should not be physically or mentally dangerous to characters (with one exception noted below), and the overall feeling should remain that of a PG-rated haunted house or something similar[[note]]This is not to suggest that events '''between''' characters need to remain PG-rated, of course[[/note]].
* Characters can arrive at the thread by any means necessary - there's no requirement to particularly dwell on the specifics, though if it's helpful to your plans for the thread feel free to do so. A certain awareness that they're coming to a party or gathering might be helpful, but is also not required.
* While characters may feel free to investigate or speculate about them, the various supernatural events that will occur over the course of the thread are effectively immune to magical tampering from visitors. This should be considered a basic conceit of the thread, and it's encouraged that writers play along even if their character might otherwise be able to interfere with any supernatural forces.
* This is a casual thread, meaning that violence between characters and severe disruptions of the thread environment are discouraged. Should violence occur, writers should feel free to invent explains for why it proves ineffective - preferably in a way that matches the tone of the setting.

!Space Liner

!!Locations
An overall deck plan of the ship can be found [[http://imgur.com/cbmFMms here]] (to zoom in, Shift-click the image to open in a new window). Much of the areas are ambiguous, but the most important ones are as follows:

[[folder:Main Deck (Decks 1-3)]]
!!Deck 1
* '''Abandoned Theater:''' A truly grand and futuristic-looking theater, spanning Decks 1-3 at the front of the ship. However, it has been abandoned for some time, as all entertainment has been diverted to other areas. It's possibly haunted as well, but also makes for a great combat area due to how surprisingly indestructible it is. The orchestra pit contains musical instruments that can be either played or thrown at opponents.
* '''Arboretum:''' This place offers a glimpse of nature in a technological complex. There are few trees here, mainly flowers and such, and the place is supervised by robotic butterflies. There's also an enclosed meditation garden for silently contemplating things.
* '''Library:''' This great repository of books is watched over by Miss Shush, a robot librarian who insists on keeping the place quiet. Like the Nebula Lobby, it spans Decks 1-3.
* '''Computer Room:''' Adjacent to the library, this place has computers and other electronic gadgets available for rent. It even has a soundproof room for some reason.
* '''Nebula Lobby''': A grand lobby spanning three floors (Decks 1-3), where many of the guests meet. Has many curved staircases for decoration, as people mainly travel between floors via elevator (indicated by the "L" boxes in the floor plan). Adjacent to this is the information desks, staffed by secretary robots who provide you everything you want to know about the ship and arrange room reservations and such.
* '''Storage Rooms:''' ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The floor plan is not accurate with these - there are as many storage rooms as are needed for the characters. The hotel rooms flanking the arboretum may be converted into storage rooms too.
* '''Spaceship/Pod Docking Area:''' Here characters can park any small spaceships they have arrived on. The area also contains various space pods - larger ones transport characters on and off the ship (so that the ship doesn't have to stop anywhere), while smaller ones are available for rent so people can fly around outside the ship.
!!Deck 2
* Nebula Lobby, Library, and Abandoned Theater, 2F
* '''Lucky Star Casino:''' The adult counterpart of the Quasarcade. It's designed like the themed casinos of Las Vegas minus the eating establishments (unless Square Root of Pie counts), with an outer space theme. Requires constant ventilation to avoid becoming stuffed with cigarette smoke. Of course, the cashiers and card table dealers are robots.
* '''Comedy Club:''' Pretty typical coffeehouse-ish area, featuring a bar that serves both liquor and espresso, and hosting open mics.
* '''Quasarcade:''' An arcade along the side of the ship. Also features individual gaming rooms. Great place for kids.
* '''[[PunnyName Square Root of Pie]]:''' Mainly a pizza parlor, but it also serves dessert and savory pies just for S&Gs. It's a great place for arcade gamers to take a break, and even has a stage area where they host gaming competitions.
* '''Black Hole Lounge:''' This place is in total darkness, making it a perfect place for guests with non-visual senses to hang out.
* '''Sickbay:''' Located in the "Meeting Area" of the deck plan. This is the ship's main hospital, for anyone who is sick or injured on the voyage.
* '''Moonshine Bar and Lounge:''' The name is completely accidental. This is a wide open space featuring two dance floors flanking a stage area, and a long crescent-shaped bar staffed by robots all [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep named Barkeep]].
* '''Waste Facility/Combat Zone''': Can serve either purpose. This large area spanning two decks features lots of floating platforms and other kinds of architecture you might find in the unstaffed area of a starship.
* '''Starlight Restaurant:''' Located in the rear of the ship with many windows opened to the outside, this massive dining area spanning Decks 2 and 3 serves every imaginable cuisine in the universe. There is no menu - simply tell the robotic waiters what you want and they'll try to come up with something suitable. If you ask nicely they may let you help out in the kitchen as well.
!!Deck 3
* Waste Facility/Combat Zone 2F, Library/Nebula Lobby/Abandoned Theater 3F
* Starlight Restaurant 2F - features an area where you can watch the robots in the kitchen at work.
* '''Mini Mall/Art Gallery:''' Features shops for gifts, clothes, jewelry, what have you, plus an art gallery with a special exhibit on holographic art, and also a 3D printing station.
** ''Galaxy Apparel'' - A large vintage/secondhand clothing shop featuring clothing and trinkets from everywhere across space and time. Run by a boyish young man named Gerald; the rest of the staff is robotic.
* '''Sushi Gundam:''' A sushi bar staffed by human-sized mechas. Where they get the fish is anyone's guess.
* '''Zero-Gravity Lounge:''' A large area of Deck 3, this place features floating tables, recreational areas... basically no structure, just have fun.
[[/folder]]

!!Hotel (Decks 4-8)
These decks are where people sleep. There are bath areas and small lounges interspersed throughout. Each floor features rooms of many sizes, from compact rooms with one or two beds, to suites containing several bedrooms and a common area.

Room plans and indicative pictures can be found [[https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/Queen-Elizabeth here]].

[[folder:Entertainment Center (Decks 9-11)]]
!!Deck 9
* '''Fitness Center:''' A place where guests can work out in pretty much any way possible.
* '''Stellar Salon and Spa:''' A perfect place to relax after a good workout. Here guests can get massages, haircuts, manicures, and all your other beauty and relaxation needs. Kind of interesting having robots do all these things. There's a hair salon and a nail salon and several individual spa rooms scattered about.
* '''Pool Deck:''' This place is encased by a large glass window with a view of the stars. There's a wading pool, a lap pool, several jacuzzis and saunas, and even a few waterslides (don't heed the floor plan). And too many poolside lounge chairs to count. Several service robots staff the place, providing towels, pool noodles, beach balls, water guns, what have you. What are called "bars" on the floor plan are actually drink and snack stalls.
* '''Dark Matter Lounge:''' Located adjacent to the pools. This lounge is a bit quieter than the Moonshine Lounge. There's also a bar, and you can take the beverages "outside" into the pool area. The stage is set up for karaoke.
* '''Solar Clubs:''' A series of clubs named after planets of Earth's solar system. Each contains a small bar area, a stage, and lost of cool flashing lights. Six robot [=DJs=] perform here (one per club): DJ Mercury, DJ Venus, DJ Mars, DJ Jupiter, DJ Saturn, and DJ Neptune. Club Mars, Club Venus, and Club Jupiter are on Deck 9; the first two are supposed to be gender-exclusive, but nobody enforces it.
* '''Holodecks''': Four of them, specifically. Here you can conjure pretty much any inanimate object imaginable, including furniture, from HardLight. Watched over by robots who will rent you headsets needed to create such, and security robots to help prevent trouble. Each holodeck has different levels of gravity - heavy, moderate, light, and zero. Each also has windows open to the outside.
!!Deck 10
* A few Stellar Spa rooms, a smoking lounge, and a billiard room
* '''Comet Cafe:''' This Art Deco themed cafe mainly features light snacks, desserts, and an espresso bar - the latter is infamous for its [[KlatchianCoffee Rocket Fuel Shot]] which contains so much caffeine that you'll be bouncing off all the ship's walls for hours. For some reason the lead robot barista, the eponymous Comet, is dressed like a reindeer.
* '''Club Saturn:''' One of the Solar Clubs, this one looks the most futuristic. The barkeep is quite the lunatic.
* '''Planetoid Park:''' For kids or kids at heart, this area contains a playground and even some small amusement park rides. There's even a soda fountain and a candy shop.
!!Deck 11
* '''Sports Area:''' This area features a bowling alley (the top "empty" area) and a few courts that are switchable to suit different sports - everything from basketball to tennis to cricket to fencing... or football if you don't mind a small-ish field.
* '''Club Pluto:''' Located in the checkerboard area above Club Saturn. Was one of the Solar Clubs, but now this place is abandoned. People who die on the ship are dumped here, so it's the perfect hangout spot for necromancers.
* '''Club Bizarre:''' Formerly Club Uranus. On the back half of Deck 11 is a multi-purpose room containing haphazardly scattered toasters, beanbag chairs, disco balls, and various things to make you lose your mind. A popular place for people to astral project or teleport to. Also features a bar famous for absinthe and various {{Gargle Blaster}}s, and a tea parlor where the tea is served on flying saucers... get it?
* '''Clubs Mercury and Neptune:''' If Club Bizarre is too weird for you, you can go to these more normal Solar Clubs instead.

[[folder:Deck 12]]
* '''Cockpit/Control Room:''' The front half of Deck 12, collectively called the {{Adminisphere}}. This entire area is off limits, as it holds the cockpit in the front and the main data systems for the ship in the back. Looks kind of like [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/73K0f3H6-XU/maxresdefault.jpg this]].
* '''Spirit Room:''' An area dedicated to metaphysical practices, conveniently located above Club Bizarre.
* '''Observation Deck:''' A spacious area in the rear of the ship encased in a large glass dome offering a great view of the space outside. Bright lights are not allowed in here.

!Archipelago

!!Locations

[[folder:Pax Island]]

!!Big Kahuna
Anyone who walks into the Big Kahuna bar knows exactly what they're getting into. A somewhat goofy logo is mounted over the entrance, framed by two large tiki statues. The statues are detailed enough to make one wonder if they were made for the restaurant or reappropriated from some of the ruins. It is tall for a bar, about three stories. There are several outdoor areas in case the weather is good, including a balcony on the second floor; the railings are made of a rich, red wood. The roof is thatched and hangs over the walls, giving a little bit of shade.

The inside is more of the same. Much of the walls are lined with bamboo; this makes the construction seem flimsy, but in actuality, it is sturdy enough to withstand intense rainstorms, the occasional earthquake, bar fights, and name lawsuits from Quentin Tarantino. The tables and chairs are framed with more bamboo, and the seats of the chairs are designed to look like mats of woven grass. Although there are two stories, the ground floor is much larger than the second floor, which is not much more than a walkway around the edges. Colored lights hang all around the walls and ceiling, mostly in shades of red, blue, and purple, broken up here and there by various Polynesian, Indonesian, and Hawaiian artifacts of debatable accuracy. Tiki torches are dotted around the edges, wafting a small amount of smoke all over the room and giving it a woody, slightly heady smell.

However, the smoke is not intense enough to drown out the aroma of the food drifting from the kitchens. The menu seems to have been made by someone who thought that, as alcohol is formed from fermented wheat, it counts as a grain, and is bound and determined to give you more than a full day's serving of grains. Even moreso than other bars, the selection of drinks is staggering, ranging from the mundane to the exotic, in all sorts of different mixtures. Flair bartending is the name of the game here; watching some of the drinks get made is half the enjoyment of them. The food is much of what you'd expect: lots of meat and barbeque, particularly burgers, a local favorite. Most patrons agree that they really are tasty burgers. However, a surprising range of fruit is also in abundance, a good chunk of it grown nearby. They offer a wide range of serving options to appeal to most customers, one way or another.

!!Royal Hotel
The oh-so-creatively named Royal Hotel seems to have taken the saying "a man's home is his castle" a little too literally. Built almost entirely out of the finest white marble, the four-story, somewhat imposing structure definitely bears resemblance to a castle, especially considering that the corners are built in the style of classical Greek pillars. The lobby definitely keeps up the appearance, to the point that it looks more like a throne room what with the long red carpet stretched out before the check-in desk and paintings of kings and queens from all over covering the walls. A pair of meticulously carved stairs leads up to the second floor on both sides of the desk.

The first floor is also home to a fine dining room hiring only the best cooks, a gym that looks much more like a medieval armory, and an elaborate ballroom. The second floor and up have fourteen rooms apiece, all with two king-sized beds, a complete bathroom, and a private balcony with quite the view.

Given its opulence, it's surprisingly inexpensive, although it's still much more costly than the neighboring Aurora Motel.

!!Al's Casino & Bar
A run-down, low-budget, somewhat depressing place for bitter labourers to drink their troubles away with cheap booze and then sink their remaining money into a few slot machines of questionable functionality. What limited food is served is notoriously bad, but the drink is strong, cheap and the bartender rarely asks questions. The establishment relies almost entirely on money brought in from the low-wage workers employed by Pax Island's classier businesses.

A very out-of-place red door is easily spotted at the back of the building, though it doesn't seem to lead outside...

!!Aurora Motel
The neon, multicolored lighting on the sign boasting its acquisition of color television makes the Aurora Motel hard to miss, even for bleary-eyed patrons stumbling out of Al's from across the street. The complex itself is U-shaped and mostly yellow with brick-red accents. The lobby, located in a tiny building between the arms of the U, is just large enough to suggest that at one time, it probably wasn't as sparse as it is now. Its wood-paneled walls are adorned only with tobacco stainage and a wall of hooks for Yale-lock room keys behind the one-person counter. The laminate tile floor has long since lost its shine to the involuntary emptying of too many potential lodgers' stomachs.

This is a place left disillusioned from too many raving, destructive drunks and careless drifters that will probably never be seen again. The rooms are more of the same- 1970s wood paneling, overscrubbed laminate, and few decorations, all in a room engulfed by a single queen-sized bed. The attached bathrooms only have room for a shower, toilet, and sink; no bathtub. Despite this, the entire establishment is kept clean, fastidiously so. The sheets are changed between every guest, the bathrooms are scrubbed top to bottom, and it lives up to its promise of a color television in all twelve rooms, each numbered 1-6 on the ground floor and 11-16 on the second. Encased in plastic wood grain that could probably withstand a nuclear strike, but color television nonetheless. What actually makes its way to the grainy [=CRTs=]- and how -is another matter entirely.

!!Volcano Casino
A rather opulent and excessive building towers above most of the small town it is placed in, the Volcano Casino. It has various island and volcano-themed decorations outside, including a small realistic-looking volcano that occasionally erupts magma-colored ooze. The staff greets all as they enter, to find a magnificent interior, superbly decorated and ornately designed, with the constant sounds of cheers and slot-machine ringing. The inside boasts multiple restaurants, all-you-can eat buffets, and more games of chance than should possibly fit inside.

Its maze-like interior seems somehow to always be crowded with gamblers of all persuasions and species, despite the relative exterior vacancy and isolation. An expert observer may notice that in fact, many of the patrons entering and leaving the Casino through its great revolving doors in the front are not traveling outside at all, but to universes and dimensions unknown.

!!Ruins
These odd ruins are located deep within the jungle of Pax Island, a good distance away from the town. Given the sheer desolation of the place, even the natives tend to stay away despite the fact that they're protected by the same force that guards the rest of the island. However, lost travelers always seem to find their way here. Their architecture, in utter defiance of the rest of the setting, seems to be a bizarre mix between medieval Gothic and classical Greek. Even more strangely, all of the buildings are eerily intact, although most of them are covered in moss and suchlike.

Besides the fact that they seem to be built around the library at the very center, what sort of settlement they once were is not clear. No one seems to know who built them, when they were first built, or why they were built. Even more ponderous is the question of what happened to the original inhabitants; the state of most of the buildings seems to suggest that the island's protective force was here when they were, which rules out hostile invasion.

!!!Library
At the very center of the ruins is a large building that at first glance could be mistaken for a Greek temple. Circular in shape with a large domed roof, it appears to be made mostly of volcanic glass and has numerous pillars lining it that hold the roof up. However, all of the pillars barring the two that mark the entrance appear to be built into the walls rather than being built separate. For whatever reason, the signs of age that mark the rest of the ruins are absent.

Upon walking in, it becomes obvious that this is no place of worship, but rather a library. Once again, there's a clash in architecture - the floors and walls are covered in hardwood that definitely came from somewhere other than the island, with the floor boards arranged in rings around the center. The ceiling, on the other hand, has an abstract design that vaguely resembles a cloudy summer sky. A chandelier in decidedly Gothic style hangs from the very middle, at such a height that one wonders how it was put up there in the first place. The shelves are made of the same sort of wood that covers the walls and floor. They are arranged in such a manner that they resemble the spokes of a wheel when viewed from above.

The whole place is disturbingly well kept for a building that's supposedly very old. Even the books are in good condition, although the language they're written in does not use the Latin alphabet and as such is mostly illegible to all but the most hardened linguists.

!!Tour Area

Near the edge of town are a couple of tour booths, next to a few moderately-overgrown dirt roads out of town, one heading around the island, and the other heading up into the jungle.

!!!Steve's Jeep Rental and Guided Tours

This booth is really more of a run-down shanty shack, mostly constructed of wood and metal siding, proudly displaying its name on a worn-out, rusty sign. A few older jeeps can be seen outside, mostly with inflated tires, but modern amenities like air conditioning, windshields, and seatbelts are likely to be in short supply. The proprietor, Steve, does have one pretty-functional jeep he uses for tours, and the prices marked in the front of the shop are all but rock-bottom. He is currently out, taking Noriko and Mizuki on a sightseeing tour of the Jungle, but will be back (hopefully) soon.

!!!Pax Island Tours

This tour agency is quite the opposite, and operates a ''perfectly'' spotless stand. Inside the small building, a sharp-looking attendant is always standing ready to answer any questions or book tours, at any time of night or day. This inhuman dedication and unflinching pose may be a clue to their true nature, but you'd have to ask to find out for sure. Outside the stand, a small paved parking lot can be seen, with a couple small helicopters, a few modern-looking all-terrain vehicles, and a few brand-new jeeps, all without even so much as a speck of dust or a single scratch. A sign points down a short paved walkway, at the end of which is a modern-looking private dock, where a couple glass-bottomed boats and a small submarine are docked. Surprisingly affordable, given the extreme quality, even if it is a bit sterile, but still quite expensive - especially the helicopter and submarine tours.

[[folder:Other Islands]]
!!(Defunct) Azatha's Fortress of DOOOOOM! (previously known as Uncharted Island during Cogbeard's Quest)
Currently non-existent, although it used to be: Azatha's fortress, where she has invited any other villains, evil overlords, or even just minion applicants to visit and/or join her in her attempt to rule the multiverse. Located in a (slightly) unstable region of reality, and still has a few oddities and anomalies around, despite CC and Azatha's best efforts to stabilize it. Most visitors will likely enter through the interdimensional door at the front of the throne room. [[http://recreationalreality.com/images/Azatha_Fortress_Map.png See the Map here!]] Azatha is currently allied with Consolidated Conversion (CC), and the Uncountable Empire, so one may see a few of their members hanging out as well. Previously known as the Uncharted Island. Cogbeard & Co. looted the interdimensional cruiseliner, ''Quantum Princess,'' which wrecked along the island shores, not knowing that Azatha had already taken up residence. After defeating the pirates, she converted the island, with the help of CC, into its current form.

!!(Defunct) Nulbarak Island
Close enough to Pax Island to prevent lethal injuries, this island used to serve as a pirate hideout, and still has a certain number of dangers. Plus a few bottles of liquor that Al would like back.

!!Castle Boreas
The base of operations of scientists Vinicio Acquati and Lillian Cline or a rather convincing copy of certain areas of it, placed on a bluff overlooking a vast, seemingly endless snow-covered evergreen forest. The interior of the castle is decorated in a mainly French baroque style. Though lacking in a true nonviolence field, it tries to make up for it with a veritable army of NighInvulnerable (though still fallibly human) servants poised to defend against any threat, whether to another guest, their master's property, or even the very existence of its tiny pocket dimension, or simply serve hors d'oeuvres and refill the coffee. Is something of a SpiritualSuccessor to Character Castle. Maps are [[http://imgur.com/DktnrkV here]] and [[http://imgur.com/I6eDt8q here,]] and a description of the castle itself (as well as how to get to it) is [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13811457890A77333300&page=86#2148 here.]]

* Nathan Maroon (@/{{Masterofchaos}}): A twenty-five year old man who's traveling with his neighbor Thomas and his adopted father George. He seems to be a bit annoyed with his father's constant researching of the other visitors of the island. ([[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13811457890A77333300&page=1#6 Description]])

* Howell Brooksley (@/{{Ryuhza}}): A strange young teenager, with scaly red skin, a pointed demon or dragon-like tail, and a head that may vaguely resemble a snake's. He is stranded on the Archipelago with his sister, Iris. He often likes to do or say strange things just to view people's reactions, and rarely shows his outward emotions by accident. Can come off as a bit thoughtless or uncaring, but his actions almost always have some form of reasoning behind them.[[labelnote: click for more info]][[http://ryuhza.deviantart.com/art/Put-Hands-In-Pockets-Stare-446334582 Illustration]][[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13811457890A77333300&page=4#93 Introuctory Post/Outfit Description]][[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13811457890A77333300&page=10#249 Description of Head]] [[/labelnote]]
* Iris Brooksley(@/{{Ryuhza}}): A young woman in her early twenties, stranded on the Archipelago with her peculiar brother, Howell. Can be a bit temperamental or overbearing, often both at the same time, but her actions usually have good intentions.

* Joseph T. Weller (@/{{Ryuhza}}): A formerly-human lizard (and/or salamander, though this is not distinctly known to him)-like young man, who was transported unexpectedly and inexplicably to the island. Plagued by fear and self doubt, Joseph struggles to understand the purpose of the events he is surrounded by. Despite this, he tries to be friendly and useful when he can be, or at the very least, out of the way.

* Mud Manfred Malinconico (@/{{Ryuhza}}): An odd looking, odd talking man with the elaborate look of a showman about him. Posed as an employee of Pax Island's Royal Hotel, when in actually he had temporarily changed the real employee into a moth, for little perceived reason beyond his own personal amusement. Often talks in circles to get people to agree with whatever he's got planned, however loose that agreement is.

!!Guidelines
[[folder:Guidelines]]
* Pax Island is under a strange and powerful force -- something beyond mere magic -- that ensures attempts at violence fail. Punches miss, guns jam, spells fail, et cetera. The other islands, however, are not similarly protected, and may hold serious risks. Plan appropriately.
* Before taking your characters out to a new island, be sure to bring others along. (You have to convince both the characters in-universe and writers out-of-universe your idea will be enjoyable, naturally.) And make sure everyone's on the same page about what the sub-story will be about. Even if the characters are unsuspecting of whatever is planned for them, no writer likes their characters being dropped in a ShockingSwerve.

!Ren Island

Thirty years ago, Yinha Ren defeated the Kartalians and Ren became an independent state. On a balmy spring evening, the celebration of the fateful battle begins. The farmers and villagers who live on the outlying sky islands pour into the city of white stone to join the fun. Even Renesians who spend most of their time abroad--merchants, scholars, explorers--come to see their families and take part in the festivities. And a few lost travelers from different places entirely may find themselves on one of the ships rising to the Sky Islands from the sea...

Renesians of all walks of life are seeing what the carnival has to offer this year. The streets are filled with booths and outdoor stages, all bedecked with red and gold. The Ren family is hosting a massive gala at the palace, complete with a grand ball and the best Renesian cuisine has to offer. Those who can afford the price of admission (all proceeds go to charity) have access to the ballroom, banquet hall, and gardens. Otherwise, they are welcome to join the more rambunctious parties going on in the bars and pubs throughout the city. Those who prefer peace and quiet may find refuge in Phoenix Park.

!!Quick Facts

* Ren City is made almost entirely of white stone. Buildings are characterized by round windows and gabled roofs. You'd be hard-pressed to find a building, shop, or home without either a rooftop garden or a garden out front, and many have both. Orchids and miniature trees seem popular.
* Renesians are generally fairly dark-skinned with dark brown or black hair and brown eyes, but shades vary greatly. On this occasion, most of them are in traditional garb: red and gold robes with minimal decoration.
* All residents can use magic, and skill level varies greatly, but law enforcement is made up of the best mages in the city. Arcanoconductors, vaguely rose-shaped devices capable of storing energy, are carried by everyone, but many adults have contracts with Manifestations, which reduce dependence upon the devices. Children and weaker mages are heavily reliant.

!!Locations

[[folder:Ren City]]
[[http://i.imgur.com/CWDljQj.png Rough map of the city]]

!!Street Fair
Typical (and of course, nearly always rigged) carnival games can be found everywhere (but don't even think about looking for goldfish scooping games--there's too much respect for the precious creatures). Souvenirs are for sale everywhere. On stages, everything from works of renowned Renesian playwrights to reenactments of Yinha Ren's battle to reclaim her state are being performed. If you get hungry, you'll be able to pick up all kinds of snacks from the food stalls. Most of them are fried or floating in a rich broth. Vegetarians looking for anything that isn't dessert are practically out of luck.

The police are on alert for any trouble, but there's a lot of people around, and they can't be everywhere.

!!Phoenix Park
An enclosed area near the palace, meant to be an area of meditation. Anyone being too disruptive will soon be evicted by the gardeners, who aren't as mild-mannered as they look. For the most part, nature is in control, but they make sure all the plants are healthy and that no one's throwing trash in the ponds or trampling the orchids and whatnot. If literally hurling you outside is the only way to stop you, they'll definitely give it a try. Keep in mind that if a gardener isn't taking the night off to enjoy the festivities, they're probably even less tolerant of noise and general unpleasantness than most. They're steering clear of Taiyin Ren, who is sulking on a bench under a willow tree near the center of the park.

!!Governor's Mansion

An art museum in a wealthy residential area near the palace. You may find silk tapestries, portraits of historic figures, and watercolor paintings of nature that seem a bit abstract, but with their subjects still recognizable. Porcelain vases and figurines painted with great attention to detail stand on rosewood tables with intricate carvings. Everything has a neat little label beneath it with the artist's name and some brief background on the piece.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ren Palace]]
The gala is understood to be a formal event. You won't be barred admission if you're not properly dressed, but you'll definitely get some odd looks. Guards will not hesitate to throw you out if you're being disruptive. A magic barrier keeps you from entering forbidden areas, limiting you to the gardens, ballroom, and banquet hall.

The entire Ren family is present, except for Taiyin the mind reader (much to everyone's relief). They are more open than you might expect nobility to be and are always ready to chat, but there is an unspoken rule to leave politics at the door--it's a night meant for fun.

You will have to pay a fee before being admitted. If it's any comfort, all proceeds go to cultural museums and the Scholar's Guild.

!!Gardens

Unlike Phoenix Park, everything in the palace gardens is meticulously arranged and calculated. If Seilaan Ren thinks you look bored, she'll come to give a lecture on the mathematical beauty of every geometric pattern formed by the grey and white paving stones, the shapes of each pond, and the structure of every fountain--with actual memorized numbers. If you get tired of that (which won't make her shut up) you can also admire the many breeds of fancy goldfish kept in the ponds, the orchids that Seilaan personally tends to, and the multicolored pixies that follow you around to provide light.

!!Ballroom and Banquet Hall

Decoration is actually more austere than you might expect. The gilded wall inlays of exotic birds and flowers are the most lavish things you'll be able to find. Carved into each wall is the Ren clan's patron animal, the Cloud Fox that, according to legend, guided the clan to the Sky Islands. It appears to be an ordinary fox, except for its longer hair, standing on a cloud. All furniture is mahogany with red velvet cushions.

Laid out on several tables in the banquet hall is a fantastic array of food, kept well-stocked by the servers hurrying in and out of the kitchens. Grab a plate and help yourself.

!!Characters
[[folder:Hosts]]
* Seilaan Ren: Heiress of Ren, who has recently returned from an excursion to the ruins of Geier with a new metal arm. Lately, she's been a little less sweet and charming than usual and more... terrifying.
* Agnesi: Avatar of the Executioner. Currently contracted to Seilaan Ren.
* Taiyin Ren: Seilaan's older brother, who was moved down the line of succession for reasons people generally avoid discussing. His ability to read minds without consent, constant monotone, and lack of decorum don't exactly endear him to others.
* Lady Yinha Ren: Seilaan and Taiyin's mother and Ren Island's most beloved war hero, known for sharp wit and a fiery temper.
* Tempest: Lady Ren's Manifestation. She seems to emulate her partner's personality.
* Lord Matthias Ren: A member of the Fenrir family who married into the House of Ren. His pale skin makes him stand out, so he's generally self-conscious and nervous, but is still more approachable than his wife.
* Balto: Lord Ren's Wolfram companion. For a giant wolf, he has very good manners, but he's a bit skittish.
* Lieutenant Jinsui Feng: A young soldier who is clearly more at home in the battlefield than at the gala.
* Senator Jinhei Feng: Jinsui's haughty older sister and Ren Island's youngest senator.
* Colonel Xue: A no-nonsense military officer who's dealing with an unusual amount of shit tonight.

* This is not officially a casual thread, but it is heavily implied that violence and bullpucky are not tolerated in the main areas. You simply can't expect the police to ignore that at a street fair, the Phoenix Park gardeners to allow it in a place of meditation, or the palace guards to be okay with it disrupting the party. If your characters end up starting shit for some reason, just don't be surprised when the police show up.
* This page gives you a general idea of the setting's aesthetics and what certain areas look like. If you wish to, say, enter a building or some other area that the wiki page does not adequately describe, make sure it's clear what it is (bar, hotel, restaurant, etc.) and add some basic details (run-down, crowded, possibly haunted, high-class). That will let the host fill in more specific details. For example, if you end your post with your character entering a busy, high-class restaurant, the host will follow up with a post describing the interior of a busy, high-class restaurant typical of this setting, as well as the behavior and fashion and whatnot of the people inside. The host will then post that description of the specific place on this page in the "Locations" folder, so if anyone else enters a place similar to it, they can save some time by consulting that description.
* Just like in regular threads, you can control basic actions of native characters that are waiters, servants, cooks, shopkeepers, etc. In other words, if your character is ordering food at a restaurant, you don't need the host to post for the waiter unless you ask him a specific question or there is anything else he needs to react to.

!Titanic

!!''A Synopsis/Recap:''
In April 1912, Southampton, our characters board the ship amongst the crowd waving farewell. The ship has narrowly evaded a disaster with the SS ''City of New York'' on its way to Cherbourg.

* Sophia Noé (@/{{QQQQQ}}): A wandering Bohemian with her light luggage, seeking hope aboard the Titanic ship and the far-off destination of America. -- Second Class.
* Adrian Kunstler (@/{{Crystal Glacia}}): A wealthy aristocrat and owner of his family's crystal and glass company, he is vacationing with his beloved family. All three of them are in First Class.
** Sophia Rosenfeld Kunstler: Adrian's former maid, she has finally found acceptance and happiness with him, despite her infertility.
** Marla Kunstler: Six-year-old adopted daughter of the Kunstlers, she has a sunny outlook on life alongside her cuddly stuffed seal, Erin.
* Edmund Clark (@/{{Killer Clowns}}): A gigantic, ambitious, eccentric American entrepreneur, who rose from humble beginnings to become head of the largest provider of farm chemicals west of the Mississippi. Traveling in First Class.
* Alexia Knight (@/{{Chihuahua0}}): A sixteen-year [[{{Transgender}} girl]] who is going to America to stay a new life with her father. In first-class.
* Nafuna Grey (@/{{Lasty}}): A young Scottish woman going to America in search of opportunity. In second-class.
* Jesse Calthrope (@/{{Away Laughing}}): The son of a wealthy English family, hoping to make a name apart from his family name in America.
* Jacob[=/=]Thomas Byles (@/{{KSPAM}}): A cynic traveling under a false identity.
* Andrew Steele (@/{{honorius}}): An American journalist, the son of a poor rancher. Not quite used to traveling in first class, but he certainly likes it.
* Kyle Williams (@/{{nrjxll}}): (First Class) A lieutenant in the United States Navy, returning from leave in Britain.
* Karl Miller (@/{{Morgulion}}):: A German con/vagrant residing in Britain, who's looking for less infamy and more people in America. 3rd class.
* Flinn (@/{{Loni Jay}}): A sailor traveling in third class.
* William Ritter (@/SnowFoxOfDeath): A German-British jack-of-all-trades (but primarily a piano player) in second class with too many dead people on his mind.
* Gabriel Rockwell (@/{{GIG}}): The heiress to a weapons manufacture in second class, sent to America after her father's death.

* Ordinary {{muggle}} characters only for the historical voyage. If you wish to have people like [[RealityWarper Vince or Quon]] aboard, I suggest you may retool them as necessary, such that their backgrounds can fit into the 1910s setting. Essentially, you keep their personalities while they have to face the hard ground like everyone else. Drop the reincarnations and chakra and paper-manipulating abilities. This is to focus on the characterization, relationships and drama - the forefront staple of any story.
** Let us also discourage bringing exotic dangerous items aboard. They have customs. Perhaps they would allow a pistol or a revolver if you have the license.
* Pacing becomes the issue at the forefront in an ambitious thread such as this. How shall we handle how smooth the moments go? I know we have some tropers who can't be here for the entirety of our summer - and I do not wish for us to carry on pointless ondoings, filler things which contribute nothing to the story, gosh can we get on with it already?
** I imagine that recalling works with loads of characters will serve as our inspiration. With ensemble casts, they have groupings into dynamics. (I suppose you can have a look at Ensembles trope list for an idea where I'm getting at.) Each group can follow their own storyline, whether it be casino gambling or dance floor frolicking. Each group storyline will interweave with (bump into) other groups, often assisting or conflicting with each other. And to assist with which group we are following/belong to, we [[color:red:colour]] [[color:green:cast]] our first sentence in posts as easy reminder. We must keep track of many characters and absorb a lot of information, and we need not have to figure out which sub-story we are in.
** Perhaps there will be a lone ranger or two, following his/her path. In which case, I suggest you also contribute to the overall story of Titanic - such as opening the gates on the other side for another, seduce another character, etc. And either way, we keep it such that we maintain our sense of momentum in the story. We're all in this together.

[[folder:Guidelines]]
* Although it is recommended tropers join at the beginning arrests, one may freely write in their character at any moment during the thread. During the preparation stages, you can hint that our mutual benefactor has sent you to help at the last minute. In the heist itself, you can ask the heist coordinator (the meng watching the monitors at safehouse) to join in, and she'll get you acquainted with what help is needed.
** Alternatively, you can join with the Casino staff/guard as an opposing view to the story. Security is especially tight opening night.
* As a crossover thread goes, we know how weird it seems to put say, a psychic elf beside a cyborgized ex-soldier. To fix any possible grumbling, assume [[WeirdnessCensor everyone is used to seeing things]], however strange it is.[[note]]Needs possible rewording. This point might not be clear enough.[[/note]]
** Counter-point: Try not to insert Gods and characters on the heavier end of the SuperWeight scale. Don't want to make things ''too'' easy for us, would we?
* The general policies for all Roleplay/{{Character Development Thread}}s apply here. Try to keep a good etiquette of role-playing, for people to contribute to the story.

!City

!!Various Stats
* Climate: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_continental_climate Humid continental]]. The area sits in a temperate zone, which is reflected by the vegetation (temperate plants like oak trees as opposed to tropical plants like palm trees)
* Season: Mid-Late Spring. Still gets cool at night, but in the daytime is anywhere from cool to warm.

!!Location Descriptions

[[folder: Residential and Commercial Districts]]
These two districts are similar to one another in terms of architecture and building usage - the buildings here all look reasonably modern (though there is the occasional building with architecture that looks like it's from the 19th century). The difference is in the majority of the buildings - the commercial district consists mostly of restaurants and stores, while the residential district is home to homes. Most buildings here are 2-3 stories high, though the buildings closest to the historic district start reaching 5-6 stories.\\
Interestingly, most of the bars are found in the residential district.

!!Hospital
The hospital is the largest building in both the residential and commercial districts. It's about 4 stories high and is constructed of white brick. The internals of the hospital look fairly ordinary - each floor has a waiting room with appropriate furnishings, while the rest of the floor is dedicated to rooms for the patients. The first two floors are mostly for humans, but the second two floors look to be ready to treat other sorts of beings should the need arise.

[[folder: Business District]]
The business district is filled with skyscrapers many stories high. However, the skyscrapers here are still much shorter than those in the historic district, and look much more modern. As the name of the district suggests, the skyscrapers are used to hold the offices of various corporations. Usually, only the bottommost floor of each building is open to the public - the rest of the building is restricted to employees of that specific corporation.

[[folder: Entertainment District]]
The entertainment district is home to four buildings: the Stadium, the Convention Center, the Library, and the Theatre.

!!Convention Centre
The convention centre is the second largest of the four buildings in the Entertainment District. It looks like 19th century architecture at first glance, but a closer inspection will reveal that the two humps of its roof are very modern looking glass windows.\\
The building has a single floor consisting of one main hall plus various external rooms - the walls are brick, but the floor is polished wood. The main hall has a stage sitting off to one side. By default, there are chairs facing the stage, but depending on the event being held these are often taken to one of the side rooms for storage.

!!Stadium

The largest building in the entertainment district, the stadium is used not only for sports, but also for the occasional sparring match. As per stadium standards, it consists of a central green field surrounded by rows of seats. It is one of the most modern-looking buildings in the city. The structure around the field, besides holding the seats, also holds various sports memorabilia.

!!Library

The library is the smallest of the four buildings in the Entertainment District. It is a typical public library of complete 19th century architecture, and is 3 floors high. The second and third floors have balconies that let the patrons of the library gaze upon the first floor (the center of which appears to be a simple reading area, complete with couches and appropriate furniture). All floors have shelves with many books, but the third floor also has such curiosities as animal skeletons, which essentially allows it to double as a mini-museum.

!!Theatre

The theatre is not a movie theatre, but rather a place where plays and operas are performed. Like the convention center, it is mostly a mix of 19th century and modern architecture. A single large stage dominates the back wall, with rows of seats facing it. The seats are divided into four areas, along with a high-rise box for wealthy patrons. The lobby offers refreshments, posters featuring advertisements for plays, and restrooms.

[[folder: Historic District]]
The historic district is home to the tallest and oldest skyscrapers of the city, and also serves as the seat of the city's government. Most of the buildings have 19th century-style architecture. As opposed to the single-use skyscrapers of the business district, the skyscrapers of the historic district are multi-purpose, and most of them are open to the general public.

!!Centerpoint Tower

The single largest building in the entire city, Centerpoint Tower is a massive skyscraper a half-mile[[note]]~0.8 km[[/note]] high. It's also the oldest building in the district, being completely composed of 19th century architecture. The lower half of the building, like the other skyscrapers in the district, are multi-purpose. The building also has an observation deck halfway up, which provides a nice view of the rest of the historic district and the rest of the city.\\
The upper half of the building is unoccupied and closed off to the general public. What, if anything, exists on these upper floors is known only to the city's government. A sharp point with a lightning rod at the very top decorates the roof of the tower.

!!City Hall

If Centerpoint Tower is the most dominating building in terms of size, the City Hall is the most dominating building in sheer style. In stark contrast to the 19th century style of the rest of the district, the City Hall has Greek-like architecture. Its windows are golden in color, stretch from the roof to the foundation, and function as one-way mirrors. The roof of the building is pyramidal in shape.\\
The building is no less extravagant on the inside. The ceiling is decorated with fine frescoes, and the floor is covered with a blue carpet. The second two floors overlook the first via a pair of balconies that face the entrance. Only the lobby is open to the general public without an appointment.\\
The police department of the city makes its home in the City Hall's basement. Given that it's hidden from the sight of the general public, it is nowhere near as extravagant as the rest of the building - the walls are concrete, and only the offices have any sort of decor.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Memorial Park]]
Memorial Park is a mostly forested area that stands out radically from the surrounding urbanization. The center of the park has a massive pond, in the center of which sits a fountain. In front of this pond is a statue of the founder, and plaques around the pond tell visitors of the city's history.
There are other places in the park that pay tribute to the wars of the past and have memorials that honor the lives lost to them. The four major memorials form a rectangle, with the pond sitting in the center of it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Construction Zone]]
In constrast to the mostly organized city, the construction zone is an area of hazards - home to heavy machinery and half-built structures. It appears that the zone is dedicated to the expansion of the business district, but there are certain areas that look suspiciously like ruined buildings that are in the process of being repaired.
