Gotham Community Safehouse: Eddie (& Death?) Quicklog
[The building in one of Gotham's poorer neighborhoods had become an oasis in the city, even once things began to improve. Improvement was a relative thing - certainly it was better than it had been in the dark of a blackout, rationed food and lack of water. It had offered all of things that people were missing - those essentials, and (of even greater importance) safety. Anyone looking for the building to bring harm to it or to its temporary residents would find themselves turned around in circles, eventually ending up blocks away and headed in the wrong direction. But to those that needed the sanctuary, the building was sturdy and safe and providing all they needed.
There was a staff of volunteers on-site, each of them stepping in once they found themselves already seeking shelter and wanting to pass along the kindness shown to them. Everyone learned what needed to be done from another volunteer, and no one was quite certain where the ladder ended, who was at the top, in charge. Of course there had to be someone there - someone who started all of it. But it didn't seem to matter all that much. Those who really tried to look found themselves eventually forgetting what it was they were doing and moving on to something else.
And that was the way it continued, even after the city began to improve. The building stayed open, stayed serving the community around it. It became a part of Gotham. A quiet, steady, surprisingly good part of it.]
