≛ THE SS ISKAULIT ≛

The Iskaulit was added to the Drift Fleet's ranks during the summer of its first year, after a tragedy befell its original Nunnilis crew, and a related colony thanked the Fleet for attempting to save the crew by granting them possession of the emptied ship.

Whether because there is something wrong with the computers, or Atroma has somehow gotten its hands on it, it will only follow an autopilot sequence following the Marsiva's path.

While originally housing a self-sustaining merchant colony, the ship has since been gutted, allowing all manner of establishments to be built in its plentiful rooms and empty spaces. Any passenger is welcome to set up something for themselves--either publicly or privately--as the Iskaulit has more than enough room to spare.

≛ THE SHIP ≛

The Iskaulit, (meaning a certain rank of lesser female nobility in the Nunnilis' native tongue) is roughly ten times the size of a standard Drift Fleet ship, but still nowhere near the size of the Marsiva. Though it is built of standard metals and synthetic materials, it has a very organic design. Like the Marsiva, it is rather ovoid in appearance, but the surface has a distinctive rippled, grooved look.

Since this is a vessel originally built for on-board trading, the docking ports of the ship all merge into a big communal entry space in the interior. It's meant for the crews of many smaller ships to be able to park and interact together--and it is from this entryway that the massive, central hallways branch out and coil up and down the ship, with rows of rooms and spaces branching off of them.

≛ ROOMS ≛

The central halls of the Iskaulit wrap around in several giant coils in the ship, leaving a slight slope to most of the hall floors. The halls are built both wide and tall, probably meant to mimic the space of a market promenade, and the structure itself is plain and not very well lit. The attention is all meant to be focused on the "shops" that set up in the dozens of alcoves lining the halls.

Some of the alcoves are open-air and welcoming, without a wall of any kind dividing them them from hall. These rooms are probably meant to be shops enticing as many customers to them as possible. Other rooms are walled off with massive windows to display their interiors--while others are much more private, with solid walls and smaller doors leading in and out.

As for windows facing out to the grandeur of space, alcoves with exterior windows only make up about a third of the available rooms. However, even if a room doesn't have exterior windows, panels set in the the outer walls can be temporarily switched to "panorama" mode, which makes them appear transparent.

And if someone is looking for something a little less legitimate, there are air ducts and interior spaces of the ship that were not originally meant to be displayed to the public. You don't get windows, an easy entrance, or much space with these nooks and crannies, but you get much more privacy.

≛ ESTABLISHMENTS ≛

Any passenger (or group of passengers) may set up space for themselves. And don't worry if someone has already started something similar to an establishment that you want to start. There's nothing against having multiple clubs, clothing shops, gyms, etc. The more, the merrier! Just fill out the form below and reply here to the ESTABLISHMENTS comment, and it will be added to the Current Establishments post as soon as we're able.

In the event of an owner character leaving, possession of the establishment will pass to the other owners listed. If all listed owners drop, the establishment either passes on to a listed "inheritor," or goes up for grabs to the rest of the Fleet if no one is listed.

To edit or add to current information, including taking over an ownerless establishment, reply to the ESTABLISHMENTS comment with whatever it is that you want changed. If you want to alter displayed text, please include the entire block of writing along with the changes, so we can just copy and paste the whole thing over.

[bb_wolf]

Given Bigby's size, would be be able to move freely about the hallways and such of the Iskaulit in his natural shape?

QUESTIONS

[dancingmd]

Provided we get together the right people with the right skills to gather the equipment and build the space, would a surgical center on the Iskaulit be a possibility for an establishment?

Name of establishment (or whatever you want listed in the directory): Creepy Necromancy Bunker
Is this establishment open to the public: No!
Type of establishment: Personal hidden workshop
Description and information (200 word max.):
Inaccessible except via ventilation tunnels and interior walkways, this space was presumably once used by the Nunnilis for storage or egg-brooding, or some other purpose that required isolation from the population at large. In here, Coil has set up a rather dungeon-esque workspace for all of his necromantic needs. There are wards drawn on the interior that make the room difficult to find by trespassers, keep the magical aura contained within the room, and prevent entry by any undead creature. Though most of the lighting is via candle and lantern, there is also a large battery set up in there to power small things. The rest of the room is mostly full of scribing and magical materials, and all of the little arcane things that he doesn't want anyone to find.

Inheritor(s): tbd
Name of establishment (or whatever you want listed in the directory): Community Gardens
Is this establishment open to the public: Yes, though the crops are not entirely free for the taking (see below)
Type of establishment: Gardens/Park
Description and information (200 word max.): Always a work in progress, this room is dedicated to growing all types of plants, collected and harvested from the various planets the fleet visits. Emphasis on food crops and medicinal plants, but there are decorative ones as well. The aim is to eventually create a park-like atmosphere, but for now, it's more akin to a greenhouse, with sunlamps and a recycled water filtration system. If people need or want use of the plants, they must contribute in some way to the maintenance of the garden, though the definition of that is flexible: help with the actual gardening, technical maintenance on the tech, or making a useful trade of some sort.

Type of establishment: Space asshole parkour course (Gym)

Everything is movable: boxes, walls, dummies, ropes, scaffoldings, giant metal wheels, etc--everything that can be combined to make an incredibly fiendish combat obstacle course. Including automatic, motion activated weapons that will fire tennis balls at you. The only dulled training weapons Loki keeps there are daggers and a spear. There is basically no safety equipment such as mats, and Loki will regularly chuck out anything like that if it's left in the room because he thinks it's unnecessary. Two of the walls are set up with mirrors.

There's a sunset that she's painted for herself, a starscape, a cityscape, a rendition of a memorial wall, and it just keeps going. She's always happy to let other people add to it as well. There are a couple places to sit and look at the mural, and it's in a quiet area.

[tsunergy]

Hey mods! Got some fixes that I noticed while going through this for unrelated reasons.

1) Counselling Office
-Current owner: Kaname Buccaneer
-Original Owner: Billy Kaplan

2) Interfaith Center
-new link for the info page, as Stefan's post has been deleted - https://faesphere.dreamwidth.org/26171.html

3) Study Room
-i don't think we have an Xavier anymore? so current owner would be None afaik.

4) Art Therapy Studio
-not sure if anyone else is involved with this, but Uraraka Ochako has taken over its general upkeep.

5) Movie Theater
-Kirito is no longer a Current Owner, so it would just be Katie now.

6) Aquarium (Mikleo's)
-this was more my error and I honestly don't think anyone else cares, but this location should be in Private Area c:

7) The Greenhouse
-Hermoine dropped!

THATS IT

[spaceshipit]

Thank you very much for this! I'll make the changes ASAP.

PS, You totally beat me to the punch - I plan to make an announcement soon-ish to ask people to claim unclaimed spaces and help correct errors, now that I'm back in action. This definitely helps!

Update to Obstacle Course (FINALLY)

[wallcrawler]

Super late update from here, let's just pretend he was testing it this whole time and it's not late because I kept putting it off, oops

Player name: Saint
Player contact: SaintCynicism
Names of IC owner(s): Spider-Man yes he's seriously trying to hide his name, but Peter Parker works if that's not possible

No changes to description, aside from the following to be added on:

Following a visit to the Baruut system, the equipment has been significantly upgraded. The entire course is now automated, and can be prepared (or randomized) from a central console. Depending on the chosen difficulty, the course may actively attempt to sabotage the user, either by introducing more automated weapons, new obstacles, or deliberately causing obstacles to shift or fall while in use.

Is this establishment open to the public: Only those curious and skilled enough.
Type of establishment: Private area
Description and information (200 word max.): Tim has slowly taken over each of Isabella's safehouses. Each is still a hard-to-get-to room that is supplied with a bunk, non-perishable food, a first aid kit and some basic armour and weaponry. All traps have been replaced with ones designed to capture or knock out but not kill. A good working knowledge of lock picking, hacking and/or being small and flexible are required to get past them. No two traps are the same. If a trap is triggered, Robin will receive an alert to come to free the poor sap.
