Crammed between skyscrapers, shopping centers, and apartment complexes are hoards of cars and gaggles of people all coexisting in the polluted air of downtown. Carved into the city structure are countless streets crisscrossing each other, holding many slow-moving cars with rude drivers behind the wheel, cutting the city into sectors and blocks. Between buildings, dingy alleyways call to be explored, riddled with dumpsters, hidden treasures, and sometimes separated by fences. With all the excitement, a wandering dog or two is often overlooked in the scheme of things. 6 12/22/04 7:49 pm   » junkyard Around the large area designated as the junkyard is a splintered wooden fence, broken in some places to allow for small creatures to pass through. It opens onto the street through a large opening, made for trucks to pass easily and dump their load. This is not a garbage dump, however, except the large variety. Rusted and mangled vehicles find a final haven here and an assortment of various home and garden furnishings coat the dirt floor. Almost any treasure can be dug up, but the careless will only find pain since the place is riddled with sharp items wanting to pierce through fur and flesh. 12 12/21/04 1:42 am   » church cemetery The cemetery is a pretty creepy place even by a dog’s standards. Tombstones of many shapes and sizes are plotted irregularly about the grass-covered ground, standing as straight as sentinels. Scrawled on many are words in the human language of which hardly a dog can read. Near the center is a wooden gazebo with benches protruding from the octagonal walls and covered by a decorative roof. The graveyard gets few mourners anymore because of its age, which accounts for the tiny, stone church on the back of the property virtually going out of business. It’s practically a one-roomed structure with a small reception area before the sanctuary, furnished with pews facing toward an alter and a massive cross. A broken window is the only way of entry, leading the trespasser into the stony basement. 15 12/16/04 6:30 pm   » park The park is probably the nicest place to spend any amount of time in. It’s relatively clean and peaceful with the occasional ruckus of playing children in the populated areas. Miniature hiking trails wind their way through a forest of massive, old trees, secluded from the noise of the city and a lot of sunlight. Where the trees are spread widest, long green grass covers the large lawn, lending to picnicking humans beautiful scenery and a soft seat to spread their blanket. On one edge, a jungle gym and swing set provide the necessities to make the park a favorite place of children also. 5 12/24/04 6:24 pm   » pier The smell of fish is constantly in the air around the pier. Here, boats come and go, picking up and dropping off various assortments of cargo. The dock is enclosed in a little bay off the ocean and is a large source of commerce to the coastal metropolis. To either side are rocky stretches of beach, scarred by ugly cliff faces instead of smooth sand. People swarm around the open-air markets selling fresh seafood and trucks stream in and out with many company logos on them to gather goods to stock their store shelves. Jutting into the calm waters of the bay are wooden docking ‘stations’ used for anchoring the myriad of ships. Not all of them are used, for not all are structurally sound. 4 12/20/04 3:32 pm Protected Territories   » school Xymos center The old elementary school has stood unused for several years until a gang of dogs calling themselves Xymos moved in. The layout is in the shape of a square with four main hallways lined with classrooms to either side. Only the library is carpeted with thin, blue-gray carpeting on which sits a long desk, a few square tables, and rows of short bookshelves, some still holding books; the rest of the school is tiled. A cafeteria and gymnasium sit largely empty at the end of this square. Outside, a blacktop area and grassy field with play equipment complete the school grounds. A backdoor has been kicked in by meddling teenagers and on some walls of the school graffiti is painted. A few of the windows have also been broken, providing more than one way of entry. 1 12/18/04 11:45 pm   » theater Lavinia center Standing on the opposite end of town from the school, the more recently deserted theater was the victim of persistent gang violence and finally shut its doors to the public. The dog gang, Lavinia, took over shortly after. The neon lights of the old theater have been indefinitely turned off as has all of the electricity. Upon entering from the front doors is a large area where movie tickets and concessions were sold. The counters still stand even though there’s no food. To either side are hallways leading to the movie rooms, three on each side, with rows of seats and an aisle in the center. With no windows, they are constantly dark. The main way in is through a small opening in a side door hanging on its hinges and leaning against the building. 0 11/25/04 10:42 am Archives   » dead threads Finished in character threads or inactive ones go into this forum, never to be posted in again. To help the staff out, if a thread is ready to be moved into dead threads, please put an [arc] tag on it. 12 12/18/04 11:42 pm ezboard Ring: ezboard.com Support Forums   Affiliates and Listed Founded on November 26, 2004.
