Presenting
The Alms Ministry Safe House
Through the generosity of the City of Regalia to her people, the Alms Ministry is honored to have been granted use of what was once the Old Town Villa, henceforth the Alms Ministry Safe House.
The Alms Minister, Baroness Sivrid Sorenvik, encourages the public to make use of the space. When passing the Old Town bridge from New Town, simply continue straight until you see stairs and the green and white awning on your left. (/tp ArenaCourt)
Areas to note include:
The Entryway: Note the large iron gate, which can be closed at a moment's notice, and allow the villa to be fortified in an emergency. Feel free to wait in this area if you are called upon for a meeting, or continue further to explore the premises.
The Bunks: To the left of the courtyard is a living area for those needing temporary housing, and a bathing area. We invite those who would otherwise have no safe place to sleep to come and find your bearings here.
The Courtyard: The open area, with its floral trellises and ample seating, is where we will congregate for any number of reasons. To gather volunteers, or just to lift the spirits of each other. We invite those who wish to simply spend time amidst the community to come here and share their joys and their sorrows with each other.
The Tents: Emergency housing has been put in place for those displaced by the Petal Court fire. While we try to house as many as possible within the security of our walls, we invite the displaced residents to find some amount of comfort here, as well as food and support.
The Kitchen and Dining Areas: While we encourage anyone to make use of the seating throughout the villa, specific dining areas are located inside as well. The kitchen fires are available for use, and those who wish to donate food can host mealtimes or evening gatherings.
The Armory: Beside the kitchen on the first floor is a locked room where, as per our rights, the Ministry keeps a small store of basic armaments. In the event of a city emergency, the iron gate will be guarded, and trusted staff will be permitted the use of weapons while protecting the villa. Trusted staff are also permitted to be armed when overseeing community service with prisoner labor, if no guards are present. These arms are never available to Volunteers.
Minister's Office: Up the stairs and to the right, at the end of the walkway, is Lady Sorenvik's office. Meetings held here can range from donation requests, public service ideas, requests for promotion within the order, staff updates, and anything else. Simply pen Lady Sorenvik to request a meeting.
Managers' Office: On the second floor is the office of the Human Resources and Community Outreach Managers. They can take meetings here and get to know those within the villa. Ibrahim Batunoglu is available to connect businesses and mentors to those in need of work or training, and Tuija Viduggla will be hosting events for the benefit of the community.
What happens here?
On an OOC note, the goal for this space is to be used as a public meeting ground. Join the Alms Ministry Discord to be pinged as events arise, which may happen at spur of the moment times when the server is active. If you have ever wondered "Where's the rp?" or thought, "Damn, there's nothing going on!" feel free to post in the discord and let people know you're seeking rp. Better yet, use the space and your creativity to come up with a reason for people to congregate!
Discord Link: https://discord.gg/xEmMq5aEkG
Dinners, evening tea, star gazing, limerick contests, community projects, group therapy, giveaways, donation drives (ic items)- there really is no limit when you can choose to do good, or just to raise the spirits of the community.
Those whose characters seek shelter in the Safe House are welcome to rp here and congregate with others. Family rp and day to day things are welcomed!
I'm curious to see how the space will be used and what can be engaged with, and I hope those who want to push a bit of activity, or who have trouble "finding" rp at times, will join the discord and enjoy this new space!
