John's Home: A former servant’s quarters where the pathways to the main home have been bricked off
In the Marquis Quarter.

There is a hardware store that sells tools that criticize work. They are highly prized by artists, and not cheap. Their criticism may be constructive or not and it is pondered if their tastes affect the art world, or if the art world truly affects them.
A music shop converts memories into music. The music is discordant and not thought of as being very good, but the Elderbin shop there regularly and keep the place profitable.

There is a small graveyard plot nestled in between the large wealthy buildings. Three tombstones reside there. They are very worn, the names lost to time. All that is legible is what would have been beneath the names and dates:
“Father” “Mother” and “Beloved Child”
While generally plain, it is well maintained.

Neighbors:
Hope and Charity. Two old ladies that had been performers and married high class gentlemen. They are now both widows and board together with their dusty trinkets and memorabilia of days long past. The both enjoy fruit pies with cheese melted onto the crust. They are very welcoming but boorish in that they will always tell self-aggrandizing stories of their former careers.

Chevron Celcius. A fine chef at the Applegate at Rue de Ruex. He specializes in serving burnt emotion dishes. He is lauded for not only the quality of the food, but for the sense of catharsis dining there brings. He tends to get blind drunk after work, and is dumped off at this doorstep at the wee hours of the morning singing loudly.

Paper’s Aunt Eustice Marygold DeBur, lives in the building attached to his.

Interesting happenings:

Laughs materialize in the neighborhood. Angels tend to collect them like a mix between street sweepers and beggars scrambling for coins.
On a full moon air raid sirens blare at 30 minutes after you go to sleep for a good 45 minutes. Everyone is sleep deprives, but no one has nightmares.
There is a stall of candies and chocolates that moves around the neighborhood. They tend to make people sick

Lower Taverswood
Neighborhood: Ridgewood

Places of Interest:

Mordekai's House: Behind a lamp post at the street corner of Sunrise Blvd. and Sunset Ave.

The Arclight. A club made of a large dome. It is filled with floating spheres that shoot lighting between each other. Several of the signature drinks and dishes are cooked via a lightning strike.

There is a statue of a previous Gerrent. Everyone knows who it is, but no one can agree on its pose or how it looks.

There is a large map of the district available and it will provide you directions of wherever you want to go (including outside the district), however the directions are always off a little, though rarely disastrously so.

Neighbors:
Thomas Ofthomas. There is a bustop just outside the lamp post Mordekai lives behind. There is a broken down bus at the stop. It isn’t towed, other transport just parks in front or behind it. Living in the bus is a war vet. He still wears a uniform, but without badges or medals. There are freyed stitiching, and a deeper color of fabric that wasn’t sun bleached where they used to be. He insists the war is still ongoing. He can’t speak of the enemy of course “loose lips” and all that, but he gets angry whenever anyone says “we won.”

Chris Ashley. Chris Ashley were once two people. But loving each other so much but disliking the idea of marriage they were fused together instead. They have a face on each side of their head, but both speak in unison and are of one mind, effectively being one person now. They respond to any pronoun. Across the street corner they run a barbershop and specializes in animate hairdos. They have four chairs in the shop and eight arms and treats all the customers himself. They have a standing deal with Mordekai of free haircuts in exchange for a homecooked meal once a week. (They insists they are all thumbs in the kitchen) They lives above the barbershop.


Ghent Seltic. A hotshot visual artist and graphic designer he tends to frequent the same recreational locations and Mordekai. He loves debate over a wide range of topics and is self confident that he is always the smartest man in the room and if people would just listen to his advice their lives would be so much better.


Interesting Happenings:
There is rumored to be a debt collector in your neighborhood who will buy off debt to collect it. He is notoriously hard to find though as the streets change and shift their relationship to each other.
Children play in the streets regularly in the district. The two favorite games being “hopscotch” and delivering glitterbombs to the unwary.

Fartown

Neighborhood: Last Exit

Places of note

Paper's house. Has animated furniture inside. They don’t’ sing. I can’t remember anything else. Christina make something up. It is in Fartown

There is a cat park in the town. It has a double fence which extends into a dome to make sure they don’t escape. Inside are scratching posts, catnip bushes, thoughtform mice to chase, and alternating shady spots and rays of sunlight that beam down.

There is a porcelain shop that serves high tea. They make the most exquisite little finger sandwiches and pink cakes. The liquid flows up, which makes it obvious who ware the regulars and who is there for the first time.

There is a spiral hedge maze that spins up and up like the tower of Babel. It leads to nothing. Or at least nothing anyone can remember.

Neighbors:

Ashley Jenks: She looks like a steampunk Viking that is really into cosply but never quite gets rid of her underlying persona. She adopts every stray cat she can find. She then gives them away as gifts (not necessarily that people want) after she has cared for them, the cats become carnivores, and favor eating spiders. She used to be married. She has boyfriends but seems to get a new one every few months (no they’re not eaten by the cats).

Torn: An animate rosebush named Torn lives in a house made of flesh. It pulses and quivers, and opens a great toothless maw to let visitors in and out. Torn used to me a monk in a monastery and is still grasping speech. Torn has a sweet tooth and enjoys candies dissolved in water.

Ittch: An old man sits upon a pedestal 20 cubits high. He sits and observes the passers by on the street. There is a rope ladder he lets down to let any who call to him up.


Interesting Happenings:
There is a rumor of a portal to the cat-verse. It is unclear if the cats are coming from it or going to it. The cats, so far, aren’t talking.

The local Garrent holds an extravagant firework display which lasts for at least six hours on his birthday every year.
There is a group of street sweepers that litter the street rather than clean it. The Garrent’s primary form of punishment is community service to clean it back up.

Neighborhood: Bends Wash

Places of Interest:

Blair's House: A clock-tower, the highest building in Bends Wash

Hot and Sour- a noodle shop that makes two types of noodles. It is more of a bench really. There is no kitchen or cook there. The single employee there has two doors, one for hot noodles one for cold.

An allyway bears only the graffiti of The Invisible Church and several sects from the cloister of cathedrals. Several individuals come to study the graffiti. No one can ever catch the people who apply it, yet sometimes is changes.

There are several golden arches over-reaching a walking area. They glow like reflecting light any time of day or night.

Neighbors:
Teacake Vandervault- Old man who complains about everything. Lives at the base of the clocktower. Spends most days looking out a hatch (I mean it isn’t a window) and watching passers by and complaining about the state of the world

Mr. Tym and Mrs. Sayge Fyre- parents of Jayden, Jordyn, Sybina, Phylis, Cybil, Yosyf, Beyrt, and Aympersandra. The kids look so frighteningly similar only their parents can tell them apart. They are very pleasant and outgoing. They live in a picturesque version of what you normally think of a child’s drawing of a house. Door in the center, two windows a chimney on top of a wedge roof. You hav never been invited inside.

There is a ruin next to you. The windows are boarded up and part of the roof has fallen in. Six young men live there. They come and go as they please, though rarely together. They keep mostly to themselves. In fact you only know they are there from the complaints of Mr. Vandervault.

Interesting Happenings:

Your part of Fartown is overpopulated. The housing here is not only dense with many apartments built up with little yard space, but like the inverse of a TARDIS there is never quite enough room. People tend to group together as roomates or families and never get a place quite big enough.

Missing posters littering the walls of the outside of buildings let you know that there are a number of missing people. New posters appear every few days, but it is hard to keep track.

Your local Gerrant fines relentlessly for lack of building maintenance, or modifications without his express approval. These extra expenses might be why everyone saves a few orbs by cramming together for less rent. Of course, it may be that the gerrent just doesn't approve of anyone unless they overstock the housing as well. Blair only got the upper part of the clocktower to himself
because nobody else wanted to live above Mr. Vandervault.

Neighborhood: Silver Hills

There is a missing street here
