Locations ✨
BASE
In every room and bedroom on the base, a flatscreen TV is mounted on the wall in one corner. Though you can turn the TV on and off, it does not seem to be streaming anything at this time.
Common Room
A relaxing area for participants to socialize. The lighting in here is soft neon and changes color every so often, alternating between red, orange, green, grey, purple, gold, pink, and blue. There are several very comfy couches and chairs, side-tables, and coffee tables for you to use as you wish. In each side-table there are notebooks and pens, you heathens. On the wall near a cluster of couches is a TV screen that normally only displays eight symbols on it. If you fiddle with it, however, you have access to a fairly extensive list of romcoms, and some very tasteful softcore pornography.
On the far side of the room is a fully stocked bar. Anything you can think of is in this bar, including garnishes like lemons or salt. There’s the sound of dripping that you can only hear when you’re behind the bar, and it’s just inconsistent enough that you can’t get used to it being in the background.
There’s a hot tub in the corner of the room. The lights at the bottom of the tub follow the neon color changing pattern.
Sleep Bay
Welcome to your sleeping quarters. The Sleep Bay is divided by a hallway, with rooms on either side. Each room has a nameplate with two names on it. At the end of the hallway is a single lamp on the wall.
Check out the rooming page for more information!
Laundry Room
The laundry room has a wall full of washers and dryers, similar to the kind you'd find in a laundromat. Some of the machines don't work, some don't open, and one of them in particular seems like it's always full of water. However, participants will find all items necessary to clean their clothes including detergent, fabric softener, bleach, buckets, washboards and dryer sheets.
Kitchen
The kitchen is state of the art, full of futuristic appliances. Seriously, you’re not even sure what some of these things do. There’s a fridge, two full stove and oven combinations, a walk in freezer, and a pantry. The fridge is always stocked with fresh ingredients, though every once in a while you might find a rotting vegetable or two. Don’t worry, just close the fridge and reopen it, and everything will be fresh again!
Against the opposite wall of all the appliances, however, is a vending machine. It’s touch screen activated. Through a series of menus you can build your own meal that will pop out of the conveyor belt portion of the machine, hot and freshly prepared. You can even pick options that will bundle it up to go. Any food you can think of is on this machine, including foods from home (though if it’s from a restaurant, it’s off-brand. McRonnie’s, anybody?)
Rec Room
There’s just about every form of entertainment you can think of in here. One section has bean-bag chairs and these podchairs. An entertainment cabinet with a TV in it has various movies, video games and board games tucked away inside the drawers. During the initial weekend here, the TV only plays A Recipe for Seduction, presented by KFC. There’s a mini-fridge in the corner with junk food and energy drinks, and an abundant amount of whipped cream cans.
Another section has a couple of knock-off arcade machines, a Dance Dance Revolution machine, table tennis, air hockey, and a basketball hoop.
There’s also a switch on the wall. If you press it, oops, there goes gravity! Enjoy the anti-grav effect. It won’t turn off for an hour.
Gym
GET SWOOOOLE. A spacious room covered in some areas by sturdy floor mats. There’s a smaller boxing ring near the center, complete with mouth guards, head guards, and boxing gloves. Along the walls are various exercise equipment: treadmills, weights, stair masters, and aerobic bikes. Near the ceiling are two pull-up bars for the gals and bros who enjoy competing romantically with their gym partners. For those who want a more relaxing exercise, one corner has a cabinet with yoga mats. In any clear space of wall, there are motivational posters illustrated with buff moogles saying, YOU CAN DO IT! and HANG IN THERE! and MUSCLE MILK GET SWOLE!
Music Room
A large room full of musical needs. One side is neatly organized with one of different musical instruments: a rolling piano, brass, woodwinds, strings, and percussion; if it can play in a band or orchestra, it can be found. There are several three-ring binders of sheets of music from different characters' worlds. On the other side of the room, there's a DJ set-up: a large turntable with thumping audio hookups, and controls for show lights. Unfortunately, the only thing the DJ table plays are frustratingly catch tunes.
In the middle of the room is a slightly raised platform for dancing or playing in groups. Some folding chairs and music stands can be procured from the back wall.
Simulations
This room is completely empty save for the podium in the middle of the room. If you approach this podium, an outline of a hand appears on the top. Upon pressing your hand to this, you’ll hear a voice explain to you that whatever you can dream up can become reality in this room. Go buckwild with virtual reality - it feels, smells, looks, sounds and tastes real.
Just uh, be careful not to get stuck in here. Sometimes you lose track of time, and you end up losing several hours of your life just trying to relive your finest moments. That’s bad, right? Seems like it might be a bad idea to give that much power to one room.
Command Bridge
There are so many buttons and touch screens and levers and switches in here! But none of them budge when you touch them. Everything seems to be running pretty efficiently, though? Occasionally something beeps or flashes, and a button will press, and the beeping will stop. At least someone knows what they’re doing, even if you can’t seem to see them.
There’s also a captain’s chair in the middle of the room. Engage.
Conference Room
Not much here. There’s a long glass table at the head of the room with eight comfy, black office chairs behind it and a large flatscreen TV on the wall above. Two more tables line the walls to the left and the right of the entrance, several chairs available to hold at least forty people. There is also what appears to be a window on the left wall, though there is nothing of interest to look at. Just plain darkness.
Execution Hall
This room branches off from the conference room via a small, airsealed door. Once two people pass through the threshold the door locks tightly and the lights flicker on to reveal a consistently-changing room. There is a window for observation, but the glass cannot be broken. This room can only be accessed on Sundays during a certain hour.

SECOND FLOOR
Opium Den
A somewhat spacious room where sweet-smelling smoke hangs in the air. The floor is a vibrant red carpet covered by a large, Persian rug with fine golden details; the walls are covered by soft red wallpaper. Four couches are turned facing each other in a group, and on the long, dark wooden table between them sits two hookahs with four pipe tubes a piece. Between them is a bowl of hot charcoal briquettes, and two pairs of tongs.
A paper panel divider is standing off to one wall if needed, the front decorated with a powerful, roaring tiger and Chinese pines. A circular, wooden display stands on the opposite wall; each of the four shelves has a small box with a black brick of opium inside, wrapped in cloth. In one of the bottom drawers, there’s a palm-sized, leather book that explains how to use a hookah to smoke opium. The bricks of opium will replenish when no one is in the room.
A Tea Room
The walls of this room digitally resemble a warm, spring day outside; the grass sways, birds fly by, and the fluffy clouds roll past in the sky. There’s even tickly faux grass carpet extending from wall to wall. In the center of the room are four round tables, capped by white table cloth, and six wrought iron chairs with cushions.
Each table has an array of tiered stands topped with decadent desserts and tiny sandwiches, teacups, plates, napkins, cutlery, and one large teapot. The ceramic teapot is full of hot water, and it can be used to make flavored white, black, and green teas from the loose leaves in little labeled tins and the accompanying nest strainers. There’s honey and sugar cubes for those who like their tea sweet, and milk for those who aren’t lactose intolerant. All of the food and drink will replenish when anyone leaves and returns.
A Circus
This peaked-ceiling room is draped from top to bottom in red-and-white circus curtains. The air smells like popcorn and sweet cotton-candy, and in the distance there’s laughter over the sound of growls and roars. The space is wide and open, filled with various things you’d find in the Big Top: flaming hoops, a tight-rope, the flying trapeze, a stack of juggling pins, a unicycle, and hoola-hoops. In the center of everything, a purple cape, riding crop, and top hat rest on a calf-high podium in the center of the ring. By the flying net and juggling pins is a chest with a red, spiky wig; face paint; a one piece clown outfit with a spade and a heart on the chest; big shoes; and a clown nose.
Near the back is a stage, and a black box with many slits sits off to one side; beside it is a barrel of swords. In a nook on the way to the stage is a purple curtained room filled with pillows, a low table, crystals gems, and a tarot deck.
Medbay
Oh, now this is exciting. The Medbay contains your typical supplies for patching a person up: bandages, gauze, over-the-counter painkillers, braces, splints, syringes, scalpels, suture kits, the works. These can be found in cabinets and drawers along the wall next to two twin-sized beds lined with hospital bed coverings.
However, the most fascinating part about this room are the Pods. A blue sticky-note is slapped to the front of one of them, and it reads:
If you’ve been foolish enough to come to any harm, this will handle it without the need to bother us about your injuries. You need only enter the pod and allow it to do its work.
Should you be dissatisfied with the results, do not take it up with us.
