Housing Questions!

[ferabird]

I am personally amused by the housing limits.... but Vlaj is not. If I backtrack and count up his various points, is there anything that can be done or strings that can be pulled IC? I've already maxed his prestige as a beginner, but he's not happy without his palace-quality opera house.

Somehow a cottage just isn't the same! What a baby...

Aaaaand.... need I get his starting house submitted and approved in order to begin roleplay with him pitching a fit over the 'best available accomodations'? XD

Housing page fixed because I am a LOSER.

D:

Jenn had brought up the lack of a middle-class housing as well. So this has all been remedied with a lazy fix.

WOOHOO

I would like for the Memmers to review mah housing situations! Also to approve Juber's, if possible. <3

Mask is homeless, living on the streets and in the alleys of Terra. Should I just describe his situation a little bit or leave "Homeless"?

Atreju lives with Dayobi wherever she be. Is it alright if I leave this alone and just don't reference it much until after she's rebooted?

Maati lives in guild headquarters now for the Searchers. I know that it would make his soul just glow to live in a building near so many humans, and it mentioned that was okay for members of guilds to live at headquarters. I'd imagine it would be handy for them to have him so close if something ever happened. How would you like me to describe this?

Kaerjius I'm kind of waiting for more information on castles before typing up, on the housing page like the other types have. Should I wait, or should I use something else as an example and go ahead? If so, any suggestions for the basis of a Sultheren castle? <3

Jesetmund... not sure yet, as he has yet to grow and have prestige assigned.

Juber...

One of many, Juber's private flat is a ninth-level dwelling in a classy apartment complex that mostly caters to Defore. Flats are identical in structure and layout throughout the building for a uniform level of middle-class quality. The exterior of the complex is metal and the ground-floor entrance has a locking call-box system that requires either a key or the permission of a resident to enter. Both a tight stairway and a small elevator lead to various floors in the tall building. The ground floor is entrance, mail room, maintenance, and storage only. All flats also have small balconies jutting off of the locking glass doors in the living areas.

A polished brass "9" decorates the door to the flat, matched by a polished brass knob and keyhole as well as a small brass peep hole.This leads to a short, narrow, featureless entrance hall with a thick mat on the floor for wiping feet and paws. Several brass hooks hang higher on the wall for outerwear. Neutral gray carpet and paler, lightly patterned gray wallpaper continue through the door at the other end and lead into the main hall, which consists of nothing but five other doors branching out.

The leftmost door from the entrance conceals a storage closet. The door left and closest to the entrance contains the flat's private indoor bathroom facilities, which include a tub, a toilet, a sink, and no windows. Brass sconces on the walls illuminate the space.

The doors in front and to the right of the entrance open into two bedrooms, the smaller of which is being tentatively used as a study with a large couch should guests stop by. The larger is a proper bedroom, with a full bed, trunk, and large chest of drawers for storage. Both rooms have large windows that overlook the back alley far below - not a particulary impressive view. They are often covered by thickly woven darker gray curtains.

The door to the front left of the entrance leads to the living space, dining room, galley kitchen, and balcony. The locking glass windows dominate the front of the moderately sized living space, which is sparsely decorated but looks often used. The thick gray drapery is often pulled away from the more interesting view of the bustling residential street. The dining room's small table could uncomfortably seat four individuals without space for more than the table and chairs. A large but simple red-themed oil painting hangs on one of the walls, not particularly impressive. It adds a splash of color to the otherwise bland room. The kitchen is lacking in space and houses an average array of equipment for the casual cook.

Personal touches are minimal throughout the space. Juber hasn't much bothered to personalize his dwelling since moving into a better neighborhood two years ago. He rarely invites anyone to his flat and sees no need to spend money on expensive decorations and furnishings when he doesn't need to show his home off beyond owning it.

Mask: You can leave his "housing" description as homeless. No explanation is needed.

Atreju: Bumming off of someone else is totally fine. I would simple reccomend not roleplaying him in his house until Dayobi is all set up and he can make a proper description.

Maati: I would suggest describing his room in the guild headquarters. Not so much material/color as organization, furniture, and belongings. Is it normally messy? Clean? Does he have a bunch of knicknacks that would make setting something down difficult. Perhaps his furniture is very sparse, with only one small sitting/sleeping area...potentially making visits awkward.

Kaerjius: Inspiration!, more, more!

Juber: The description is awesome. I like the subtle use of higher technologies (like the elevator and locking key box) to make it obvious that this flat is in Anygh. Not those other measly provinces. Bleh! The only thing that bothered me was this sentance: "The door left and closest to the entrance contains..." I'm not sure what "the door left" is supposed to indicate. It's a little awkward. Otherwise, it's amazing, Jenn. C: You can go get it approved any time you like.
