Okay, sorry it took so long, but now we're here with all of the island information you need. If it's not enough then give us a poke and we'll give you what you need.
The island is a big place, relatively 78 square miles. The island itself is a thinly shaped ragged coastline crescent facing toward the west coast of Scotland. At the southern curve of the crescent lies the village. This will be an entire post within itself that we'll try to condense here for you all. The town with a current number of 150 residents sits at the open mouth of a small river that winds itself up half the island. A small bridge connects the southern and northern ends of the town that during floods can sometimes be seen sloshed by the high tide. On the southern side you'll find a host of what the staff would like to consider more "family friendly" establishments. The majority of family homes are on this side are one story spread out on decently sized lots with the most colorful assortment of doors imaginable. The mayor's wanna-be stately manor with its garish yellow siding and ornate gingerbread trim make it pop from the rest of the islands architecture. A small shrine to the sailors past of the village sits in a small wooden rotunda in a overgrown traditional english garden only minutes from the towns craggy two story courthouse/town hall which has regular meetings every Sunday evening. A small grocer supplying the island with a few needed goods not found from the sea sits near the bridge; inside is the crammed 6 by 6 foot store stocking their Victorian shelving and woven basket filled with cheeses, fruit, veggies and mainland animal meats. Don't be surprised to see some chicken with the feathers still hanging on. This isn't your local super market! Across that shop flanking the other side of the bridge is a small shoppe that's ridiculously baroque in interior and almost not noticeable from the outside. Inside it's at the whim of it eccentric owner Madame Lillana (aka Molly Pike and captain's widow) the menu always varies but a good cup of herbal tea and decent hot chocolate are always available.
Moving to the north side of the town there lies a whole lot more activity. The hilltop manor, equipped with a lovely basement bar red lights, satin sofa's and a fabulous mint cocktail, but be warned many of the village women claim that it's a more sinful place then just a gentleman's club, leaning more towards a whore house than any dance club. But that's a decent walk away from the rest of that side as a row of ghost homes and shopped sits between it and the fish market, burned one hundred and fifty years ago in a lover spat. Deadly Deana and Loose Louis still roam the area, sometimes if you're not careful you'll get caught in one of their other worldly fights. The fish market only open between 2am and 8am is a perfect cold warehouse job for anyone looking to make extra cash, but of course you have to be able to strip and gut the creatures of the deep! Further down along the small windy paths of the northside you'll find a fisherman's club only open to those who brave the rough seas, but next door you'll find a darkly light, nautical themed pub serving traditional fare but also some fairly odd dishes and drinks. Do you think you can drink more gilly weed beer than the local pub crawler Dan? We wouldn't try it. An apothecary shop, hanging alligator and odd things in glass jars included care more old school potions and cures than you'd find in Diagon Alley. Finally a store that's large and two stories filled with knick knacks, floor to ceiling, this shop can get you whatever you're looking for, whether it be your favourite chocolate bar or an oddly shaped glass door knob, they'll get it! Though it may take a few months ^__-
Alright so soon we've noticed this post is going to be HUGE if we keep going so the rest of the island will be mentioned in another post hopefully by the end of the week!!! If you have any more questions about the village feel free to poke us anywhere! (Here, aim, email)
If you've noticed the shops are not named, this is an opportunity for you to be involved in the games plot and suggest names and later we'll have a voting poll!
