The Rose Garden(#304RLCJ) The water fountain stands at the center of the Rose Garden, a circular pond with cement funnels, water turned off for the fear of ice. From it, running in the cardinal directions, are twin avenues covered in about six centimeters of snow; and surprisingly deep straits of water that extend to the distance. A light fog rises from the warm water, condensation slowly eating away the snowfall. Bracketing the fountain and several curled benches the roses grow, with the larger flowers still poking out from the white blanket in concentric circles out to the trees. A vertical orange wall with notes sticking to it serves as the bulletin board, and a drinking fountain offers something to sip on. A light dusting of snow coats the benches and skims on the leaves of the rose bushes, and the bare branches of the oaks reach over the pathways, with the leaves heaped against their trunks. Clouds begin rolling over the sky in the cold air, causing the snow blanketing everything to look darker. It feels like about 4 pm.

S5 W7 City Hall(#212RL) City Hall is a transparent, slightly dome wide-set at its base, with the swirling patterns of half-started spectrums swirling around the flimsy shell. The shell itself seems almost to breathe, as it flexes in the breeze and the changes of the people around it. A copper arch marks the most fixed spot and the easiest entrance to the hall. Around the globe a sparkling array of smaller globes cling to the exterior, each an office or a room or department, and these rooms swirl around as if to off-vertical ferrous wheels on a structure imitating a soap bubble. The park outside City Hall softly rises and falls, with spots of leaves and flowers of all colors popping into and out of being easily, and more rarely but still sometimes shrubs or bushes or even the odd tree makes it appearance, or exit, quietly but ever changing the light of the center. Clouds begin rolling over the sky in the cold air, causing the snow blanketing everything to look darker. It feels like about 4 pm.

Patashu's Personal Quarters(#29396RLJA) While the base is constantly busy manufacturing and researching and testing and shipping and soforth, Patashu often desires to have a space of his own to work on personal projects or to have discussions with friends and associates. The quarters start with an open foyer of sorts - having a lounge and holographic computer systems, workbenches and scientific equipment and a table (with the company logo emblazoned in gold along its surface) that can be used for conferences, gaming and eating just as easily. (Of course, there are amneties for organic visitors - food, water, beds and all!) (Oh yes, and there IS a pile of 'cushions' and 'beanbags'.) From the holographic screens, all activity of the base can be monitored, and base databases/security feeds accessed. Off to one side, a personal hangar has a huge, rotary rack of different robotic parts and even alternate bodies that can be swapped into and out of, as well as a maintenance system with automated scaffold lined with robotic arms. Kobolds clean, maintain and can be called upon for any necessary task. Posters and blueprints line many of the walls, some of them of products the base builds, some of them gaming related or based on legendary mecha, and the noise of the surrounding base is (mostly) dampened. Among the Cushions, you see it is empty.

From: Patashu On: 2021-11-17 16:28:15 Subject: PI Approved Interesting Spindizzy Places * Name: Feedback City * Owner: Azure * Directions: luge s5 e1;d;d;d * Description: A post-scarcity city formed around a shared desire to create art and technology. Has four quadrants, ranging from biotech to cybernetics. Great place to go to immerse yourself in a post-scarcity culture, invent or buy and sell. * Name: Abydos Spaceport * Owner: Myril * Directions: ([UND N8 W6]) luge s5 e1;d;d;d;d;d;n;w;w;w;w;t * Description: An ancient precursor stonetech spaceport, complete with atmospheric holding forcefields and launching ramp. Works as great as it ever did! Just a great aesthetic to take in, but also has value as transportation for the Underside, maybe for your discrete missions? * Name: Observatory of the Inward Eye * Owner: Voksa * Directions: luge n10 w3;i * Description: A dragon's hoard, but not of gold and treasures, but of unique experiences. A safe place to visit and experience new and unusual qualia. * Name: Sidereal Tower * Owner: Voksa * Directions: (from any overworld tile) up;up;o;st * Description: A technomagical research station floating in space. Here, strange scientific and magical disciplines are mashed together to form new areas of inquiry. * Name: Thistle Vlier * Owner: Voksa * Directions: luge n11 w2;gospace;enter vlier (or if the ship moves later, t #32553) * Description: A worldship sent from Thistle Forge, a galaxy in another universe. A nomadic creator culture that crafts space dragons, extraphysical materials and other creations, and travels the universe to see, learn and trade. * Name: Pseudospace * Owner: Myril * Directions: luge n0 e10;p * Description: A simulation dome where digital and physical environments are superimposed; virtuality and AIs are projected into our world, and two-way interaction is possible here, allowing for a meeting between the worlds not normally possible. Has a direct digital link to the Patashu Industries Incubator. * Name: Black Oil Caldera * Owner: 000 * Directions: luge s9 e3;c;c * Description: 000's nanofactory, a huge mountain shaped assembly that descended from space, forming a tile filling crater that has since filled with black nanite oil, constantly raining and muggy. Besides being 000's home base and manufactory (it has a gift shop and plushies too!), the ever-twisting lower levels are also host to 'Ferals', offshoot nanite beasts that don't follow the hivemind. 000 occasionally organizes hunting trips to deal with them.

Pedestrian Mall (N0 W1)(#303RL) The colors of the street glow in an unusual way. Somehow, it doesn't look quite real. The street is difficult for vehicles to navigate through, and is clearly a pedestrian mall, an extension of the park. The place is animated... hand-drawn, even. That would explain the glow. A set of windchimes in the middle of the street clangs in the breeze, on a pentatonic scale, sounding clear in the light breeze. On one corner of the mall, shaded by a cherry tree, is Ping's Foley [Studio]. The opposite corner holds a rather curious building -- at first, it looks like a business of some sort, but the roof holds short, golden-tinted reflective towers that glisten in the sunshine. A short sign above the door announces the building as a [M]editation Center, the rather plain front door beckons you above a few steps. Next door, the [Election Analysis Lab] is a tidy little office building, where miscellaneous notices that support obscure causes you've never heard of before, flap in the breeze, held by little bits of tape.

Large displays cover the walls, showing realtime statistical data alongside detailed maps, and boxes showing news anchors talking into fuzzy microphones in front of some windy darkness, but their speech is muted. The chairs here are a bit more comfortable than you might expect of a cheap office -- someone decided that if someone were to sit instead of pace around, it should at least be comfortable to do so. Clipboards, papers, and pens are scattered across long tables, and a bowl of halloween candy can be found in the middle of the largest table. This room is intended for OOC discussion of political and election-related subjects, for those who wish to do so during the nail-biting hours following the closing of polls.
