Located to the east of Lightning Street, the Orange District is the turf of the UG, one of the two major factions of Step City. The Orange District is roughly the same size as the Purple District, and favours orange Eco-Brutalist concrete architecture with nature in a very SolarPunk aesthetic.

VALHALLA
VALHALLA (stylized in all-caps) is a music hall and games bar, located in Orange's Metal District. It is MC Xavier's main venue.
The ground level of VALHALLA is a live music venue, dance floor, and nightclub. Most acts that play here are heavy genres: metal, punk, rock… but VALHALLA will host just about anyone, especially if the artist is a friend of Xavier's. You can join the mosh pit on the dance floor, or take to the upper balcony to sit and listen. The ground floor can host about 800 guests shoulder-to-shoulder.
VALHALLA’s basement is a games bar. The vibe here is more relaxed than upstairs. There are arcade cabinets, pool tables, darts, and a humongous selection of board games. Sit at finely carved wooden tables and chairs to enjoy a beer and Scrabble with friends. A few nights a week, the basement is closed to the public for MC Xavier's private events (D&D nights.)
There are two full bars, one on each level. Both offer a wide selection of beers on tap, hard liquors (including the best mezcal in the city!), and a house-brewed mead. Requesting a Cosmo might get you an eyeroll from the bartender... you'll still get one, but you’ll be JUDGED. The bar also serves tacos, pizza, nachos: no-frills foods meant for getting your hands dirty.
Sitting above the concert hall is MC Xavier’s apartment and rooftop patio. This is private to Xavier and his guests, only accessible via a secret entrance.
Being an MC's Venue, there is a strict UG-only policy at VALHALLA. FM and Banditos trying to enter will be attacked on sight.
Employees:
Ayrin - Bouncer.
Avalon - Dungeon Master.
Finnegan (NPC) - He/him. Fiddle player. Bartender, lower level.
Jagmeet (NPC) - He/him. Heavy metal singer. Bartender, upper level.
Roach (NPC) - She/they. Head of security.

Lauryn Hill General Hospital
A block east from UGHQ is the go-to medical centre for Orange’s residents, Lauryn Hill General Hospital.
Because of the island’s “Do No Harm” medical care oath, no patient will be turned away from Hill General; however, Orange patients are prioritized over outer-faction ones. FM and Banditos should expect an increased security presence while being treated, including an escort back to the border once released by a physician.
The hospital is larger than its Purple counterpart, St. Summer’s. It's a concrete building, in Brutalism style like most structures in Orange. Its façade is decorated with mural art that changes out every few months or so. Greenery is abundant in the hospital’s courtyard and rooftop garden.
Hill General was founded in X108, following the Funk Mafia’s push for Orange territory. The OPP and its Dr. Vendys were stolen, limiting medical resources for UG. The UG council cobbled together what supplies and funding they could, and the hospital came to be. While the OPP has since been reclaimed and the stolen Dr. Vendys are back on Orange soil, the hospital remains open to provide services better done by human hands.
The hospital is equipped with an emergency room, a walk-in medical clinic, and a state-of-the-art compound pharmacy. There are different wings for specialized care, including a maternity ward for in-hospital births, and a fertility clinic.
All services are offered at a lower cost than non-essential Dr. Vendy care. These include:
Given the futuristic nature of medical care in Step City, most doctors here are "jack-of-all-trades". Surgery, pharmaceuticals, family medicine; everyone dabbles in a little of everything. Volunteers are welcomed, whether they have a history working in medicine or not. (There’s lots of jobs to be done around a hospital!)
Employees:
- Dr. Ingrid Ostman-Vargas (MC Xavier’s mom) specializes in endocrinology, obstetrics, and gynecology. She is head physician of the maternity ward and fertility clinic.
