avri, richard garland

To the residents of this station, both old and new, and to those who may have recently discovered this place, I would like to make an announcement.

For the last year and a half I have worked towards cleaning and rebuilding one of the hotels in Wheel 1. Now, it is at last ready to be opened. I have named it Sanctuary, and it will stand to serve as a welcome place for those who have just arrived, as well as act as a home for anyone who wishes to stay. There are a vast number of rooms now ready for new guests, and I do aim to make it as welcoming a home as possible.

It will also serve as a refuge, should the station and its residents be faced with another terrible enemy or hazardous situation.

Of course, I will be looking for those who would be willing to help run Sanctuary. We will need a cook, a few cleaners and perhaps an on site medic, as well as a bartender and perhaps someone who would be willing to serve people their meals and drinks. No payments are required to stay at Sanctuary either. I intend to run this Sanctuary in line with how the rest of the station creates its trade.

I thank you for your time. Any suggestions or comments, I would ask you leave them below.

Richard Garland.

	I could help clean? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-13 07:55 am UTC (link)
	That would be very much appreciated. Might I ask your name? You are one of the new arrivals, are you not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-13 08:01 am UTC (link)
	I am. My name is Avri. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-13 08:18 am UTC (link)
	It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Avri. My name is Richard. You would, of course, be welcome to a room at Sanctuary should you want or need it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-13 09:20 am UTC (link)
	It's a pleasure for me too, Richard. I might take you up on that, are there any small rooms? The rooms are so very big on the station. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-13 09:38 am UTC (link)
	How small would you like the room to be? I can make arrangements for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have beetles where you come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-15 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Why do you ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-15 09:21 am UTC (link)
	Well, a room that would be suitable for someone the size of a beetle would be good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-15 09:38 am UTC (link)
	Ah, I believe I understand. Would you prefer something within the hotel, or would you like something on the hotel grounds but closer to nature? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-15 09:46 am UTC (link)
	Closer to nature, please. Especially if you have flowers. Are you okay with me using magic to clean the rooms? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-16 04:19 am UTC (link)
	There is a small courtyard on the grounds in the centre of the hotel. There is a small pond with a waterfall, a few trees and some flowers. I will make sure that you have a small home there to call your own. If that is how you are comfortable, of course I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-16 09:03 am UTC (link)
	That sounds very lovely! I'll make sure the trees and flowers flourish, if you do. It will make things easier. Otherwise I would have to be tall, and I'm much more comfortable as I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-16 09:33 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. I am sure it will make a positive difference to those who live here. Well, we wouldn't want you feeling uncomfortable, now would we? You are free to be yourself here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-17 08:03 am UTC (link)
	What kind of trees are they? I'm good at projecting my voice so larger beings can hear me, so I'm not mistaken for a bug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-17 08:32 am UTC (link)
	Cherry blossom and Ash. I do believe there is a young Oak tree there too. I look forward to meeting you in person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-17 10:31 am UTC (link)
	I'm going to have to stay away from the Ash, for the most part, but the others should thrive. I look forward to meeting you too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-17 11:36 am UTC (link)
	Is something wrong with the Ash? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-18 04:29 am UTC (link)
	It's not good for fae folk, but it's avoidable if it's in tree form. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-18 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Should it cause you any discomfort, please inform me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-18 08:00 am UTC (link)
	I should be fine, it's only the wood that is bad. I can pollinate it from a distance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-18 08:59 am UTC (link)
	Should you have any requests for the garden, please do let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-18 09:53 am UTC (link)
	If there isn't already some planted, honeysuckle would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-18 10:29 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I'll see to it. I am due to pick up supplies for the hotel through the current door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fairy_queenavri 2024-03-19 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Thank you very much! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You can't be serious about people living there for free. I've learned there is a system of trade and favors. I won't do the jobs you mentioned, but if you need information processed/inventoried or anything else to do with computerized tech I can provide that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I am quite serious, sir. This place has no need for the exchange of money for services. The people here are quite content to look out for one another and Sanctuary will not be any different. I simply aim to contribute in whatever way I can to this station and the people here.

If you are able to work these computers, then your help would be most appreciated. I must also ask, are you looking for a room as well?

	feelyournoise 2024-03-26 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Very noble. If I find I’m too unfamiliar with the local computers I'll either figure it out or use my own to do the work you need. In exchange you can provide me with a room. Does that seem fair? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-27 02:13 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. You are welcome to a room here. Do you have any sort of preference? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	theboysandcrash 2024-03-15 03:52 am UTC (link)
	I'm a pretty good bartender, I think, so I'll throw in my hat for that. I actually own my own little bar on Wheel One as well, but it's mostly for just my wife and me. I learned from the best, so if you will have be, I'm more than willing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-15 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. Your offer is most appreciated. However, I am afraid I must ask. I am not entirely sure we have been introduced properly. What is your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theboysandcrash 2024-03-15 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Of course! I love this idea. Not properly, no. We've crossed paths at some of the meetings we used to hold, and some of the parties.. My name is Blank. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-15 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. It was discussed some time ago. However, it has taken a while to organise the entire hotel into what it is now. It is good to finally have a name to the face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey, sometimes Ideas take time to get to fruition. You should have asked some of our tech guys. But.. That's neither here not there.

Ah, fuck. Where are my manners!?! My parents taught me better than how I have acted..

It is an honor and a pleasure to formally meet you, Mr. Garland. My fully name is Blank Adler, and I am more than happy to help Sanctuary work to it's fully capacity.

	mrgarland 2024-03-15 07:06 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully I was able to get some assistance. Otherwise the hotel would not be ready yet. Thank you, Mr Adler. I do hope that Sanctuary will be there for anyone who needs it, and that includes you. Your kindness will not be forgotten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theboysandcrash 2024-03-21 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	That's good! I wish I had known about this, I would have helpe, too! I'd make a joke about the "Mr. Adler" thing, but meh. There's no need for thanks, I like bartending. Is a black and green suit suitable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-21 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Should I be in need of your help in the future, I will be in touch. What would you prefer I call you? I am sure it will be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theboysandcrash 2024-03-21 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Please do! I'm more than happy to help. Ha! Blank works. That is the name my "parents" gave me. I'm used to that. Awesome! Trust me, I look amazing in green. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrgarland 2024-03-21 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	If that is what you prefer to be called, then that is the name I will use for you. I am sure you do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
