castle

The most difficult part of living in that castle was utilizing all the space.  I was alone at the time and passing through those immense empty rooms just shed light on how solitary this life could be if I allowed it.  Not to mention my phobia of immense empty spaces.  So of course I invited all my friends to live with me.  That still left a few rooms empty.  So each empty room was designated as studios, mapping rooms, a greenhouse, a giant laser building workshop, etc.

The location was great as well.  We had a great view looking west over the East River, an empty lot to the south and a junk yard to the north.  The east side of the building faced the street where we could easily load and unload from the building.  I wasn’t about to call it a utopia but it seemed like a nice little niche that we had carved out.

I thought that the “trick door” on the south side of the building would be great to keep just in case I decided to turn evil.  It would be something that would really get me going by telling someone that the next room over was absolutely amazing . . . go ahead, just walk through that door.  In the end, I knew it would only be used to take in the views of the south.

The castle was in a bit of disrepair but I’d figure that we could start on that the next day as it was getting dark and we had no food inside.  This meant I would have to leave the grounds and venture back into town . . .
