Last Resort
When there's no where else to go there's the Last Resort
-
A former FX Studio now sorta half lived in
-
Tucked inside of a mundane warehouse
-
The bunker is a family secret
The Place
330 Alameda St. is a large warehouse that was formerly occupied by a VFX studio that worked for Hollywood but didn't work out. Heavily soundproofed, the building is completely silent once closed, sealing the outside world out and providing a peaceful repose for anyone indoors. Completely separated from the local grid, constant power is provided by several racks of solar panels hidden by the parapet surrounding the perimeter of the roof during the day and a battery the size of a small van in the warehouse. With the building at full capacity, it could provide power for three days without sunlight. With just Logan? Probably two weeks at minimum. Water is provided by rainwater in rooftop tanks and purified by a reverse osmosis system. Loads better than Los Angeles' drinking water.
The majority of the building is vacant and closed off, with plastic covering doorways and A/C dampers shut to keep costs minimal, but two main areas are used on a near constant basis - the Living Quarters and the Warehouse.
Where things get done, the warehouse is the more public part of the private building. Space that was once taken up by shelves and storage has been converted to indoor parking for a couple of vehicles, a small, locked armory, and a well-stocked medical suite. This suite, separated by a low wall, has a couple of surgical tables and lights, an X-ray machine, and a locked drug cabinet, all covered in sheets of clear plastic to be kept dust free and mostly sterile, ready to be used 'just in case.'
The Living Area area is mostly vacant, with decent-sized offices surrounding a large open area. A few battered couches are arranged in a circle around a couple of coffee tables to make an impromptu conversation pit, with a few pinball machines and a copy of Ms. Pac Man against the far wall for entertainment. Several vacant offices are here, each one easily able to be converted into bedrooms or additional storage, along with a large kitchen, laundry room, and a locker-room style bathroom with showers. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but it's better than a tent on the street.
OOC NOTE: The Last Resort has extensive security, is stated as a base of operations and not widely known outside of the kinfolk community. If you have any questions at all as to if you should know of this place please contact Logan, Tink or Sundance
The People
The Last Resort isn't just the structure, but the people that frequent the place who have created their own rag tag 'found family' to be able to survive the constant barrage of disasters thrown at them.
-
Nicole Oakes: pocket size bad ass, often the grumpy one with the guns
-
Logan Buffels: the reasonable and reliable one, also medic
-
Jana Balakin: pocket sized bad ass in training, wants to change the world
The Rules
With great hospitality comes great responsibility and there are rules for everyone's safety regarding the Last Resort. Those who cannot abide by said rules will be barred from entry and may suffer consequences amongst their communities for endangering the Kinfolk who rely on the place for safety and security.
- The Golden Rule is key
- DO NOT bring undo attention to the warehouse, if you suspect you are being followed or cannot be subtle in your approach please contact Tink or Logan to discuss alternate options
- DO NOT bring friends to the Last Resort who are not verified shifter kin - if in doubt at all, contact someone listed above in 'The People'
- DO NOT bring Fera to the Last Resort who have not been cleared by the Garou and Sept (ie. if they're allowed in the Sept/Bawn it's probably kosher), or not been okayed by Tink or Logan
- Likewise, if you present a security risk greater than average for the community (Example: being hunted specifically by a spiral pack, having recently pissed off a local vampire, or have pissed off a faerie - ever, etc) please contact Tink or Logan before approaching
- If you are a Garou and you are at a time of the month which you are prone to being less in control of your temper (your moon, the full moon) you are not allowed on or around the premises - this is non-negotiable.
- No Shifters are allowed upstairs in the living quarters
- No one's allowed in the upstairs living quarters without Logan's permission
- No one's allowed in the bunker (or to know how to get to the bunker) without Tink's okay
- If you are in doubt or uncertain of anything, please ask someone listed above in 'The People'
- Don't be a dick
