Codeville HOME 1/2
I started to head straight for Codeville, the locals waving me goodbye, although some were too absorbed in dancing with the country music. It really was good music, No Focus Reader! You need to get your own home! You follow the dirt path, there are dozens of branching paths leading to new sites and game locations. There is a Farming Game on one of these paths aren’t there? Wow, you get distracted easily, you’ve almost gotten side tracked three times now. In your defence it has been a while since you’ve seen anyone jump rope, it’s an underrated game that is for sure.
Still, eventually you made it to the checkpoint, There was an Officer Player there, [Omeri] How would you pronounce that? Ohm erh ri? You could ask the Officer, but he’s looks kinda busy filling out paperwork… It’s surprising how much paperwork there is in the HUBs, it used to be messy, but a few people managed to put together an Organization in charge of keeping track of changes and people. This allowed for better future planning if we were ever to make a new HUB or something. Frankly there are too many Players to keep track of everything via one organization, so we have one for each major location on each HUB, like the Caretaker for the Astral Ruins.
The dirt path begins to change into concrete. You look up, no longer in your own head, and examine the place. Codeville is a big town, but a town nonetheless. The place is surrounded by a field that causes a bigger on the inside effect so the town doesn’t take as much space as it would. You feel the world shift as you step into Codeville. Then you examine everything, many of the houses are beautifully decorated. You open your HUD Map, so you wouldn’t get lost, and then you looked for the [HOUSE MANAGER] They were actually quite close by. You avoided the herd of Players wandering the streets or doing street performances… Is that player a mime?
You shake your head, FOCUS. You slowly manage to make your way to the area where the HOUSE MANAGER is… and you see a couple people GATING there. You really need to learn how that works, It’s not teleportation, but it’s close enough. Seriously you would save so much time if you could simply make a portal to the locations you wanted to go too. Then again, you wouldn’t get to meet as many people… Maybe you’ll learn it one day.
You approach the structure that looked kinda like a Mayors Home, it is quite big. You feel the familiar sensation of a size field. You would visit the Archive after talking with the [HOUSE MANAGER] You follow the signs on the walls which leads to the various facilities in the beginning… We got a psychiatrist? When? It takes a bit of searching, but eventually you find yourself in a small office. [SKYRIMISBAE] was sitting behind the desk, they were a khajiit, a brown and gold khajiit.
“Hello, Skyrimisbae?”
“Yes, I know, screwed up during the naming screen, just call me Sky.”
“Alright, I’m here to look into purchasing either a Door or a House.”
Sky nods as they pull an ipad from their inventory and a hologram of the village map appears. The village is the size of a small city. Then all the buyable locations light up green.
“Can you limit the search by homes buyable for 3,000 creds?”
Sky nods and about two thirds of the map goes dark. Mainly homes near the center, homes on the outskirts are rather cheap. You eventually decide to pick a home for two thousand and three hundred creds. You watch as your bank empties once more. You really need to make some more creds.
“Thank you Sky.”
“No problemo Reader. I got a bit of paperwork to fill out, You should get to your new home.”
You smile as a [HOUSE KEY] appears in your inventory. Technically you didn’t need it, but it was just so you could get that new home feel. You check your map hud as you leave.
The ARCHIVE was on the way. You would most likely stop by the place. The ARCHIVE was a collection of knowledge afterall, you were interested in seeing if it was any different than the ARCHIVE on HUB16.
Then again, you had only been to the ARCHIVE once in your life, you really wanted to visit the Fiction section again, what was that story you were reading… Huh, you can’t remember. Anyways the ARCHIVE probably has some data on how to actually use your CREATIVE powers, just like everyone else, you had them. Normally you would just summon up food to satisfy cravings, although you didn’t need to actually eat.
Huh, you’ve arrived. You look at the ARCHIVE. It was a massive Library. It had a Size Field over it, just like the [HOUSE MANAGER] place. It kinda looked like the white house… It was definitely different from the HUB16 ARCHIVE, mainly because the ARCHIVE in HUB16 was a giant metal box that kinda looked like the tower for a PC setup. Why? You have no clue.
[AUTHORS NOTE: I got too tired to continue, I’m ending this part early cause of that. No voting for this chapter since it’s not technically complete.]
