 10/2/98      Ceit & Trevor    Premium housing!

[The Portmanteau Club, Sitting Room]
The scent of gardenias lingers in this room, pushing away the odors of the
 street outside.  A brace of wide, chintz covered couches face each other
 across the narrow bounds of a ring-marked coffee table, and armchairs
 gather around a many-branched reading lamp.  You also see a swinging door,
 an ashcan, an archway and a large blackboard.
Also in the room: People
Obvious exits: none.

Trevor Rage wanders out of a nearby crowd.
Trevor Rage waves.
Trevor Rage says, "Lo, folks."
Trevor Rage smiles.
Ceit Galbraith steps out of the shadows.
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith exclaims, "Heya!"
Trevor Rage asks, "So.. I assume a few of you are interested in these homes,
 then?"
Xenia Wilson asks, "How much are they, Mr. Rage?"
Trevor Rage asks, "Wellll.. doesn't take long to dig into the money issue
 eh?"
Trevor Rage grins.
Trevor Rage says, "Price is still being worked out."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Okay, ready to start?"
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Trevor Rage nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Trevor Rage says, "I think so."
Ceit Galbraith says, "I'm moving a bit slowly tonight, seems I'm in a bit of
 a mental fog."
Ceit Galbraith says, "First things first...we're probably going to end up
 OOC tonight, as is the standard with forums."
Ceit Galbraith taps a cup of cappucino.
Ceit Galbraith exclaims, "Gotta stay awake!"
Trevor Rage shifts his weight.
Ceit Galbraith says, "The current status of the premium housing...."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "It's coming right along."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Trevor and I are working diligently trying to get
 things to the point of usage."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Have y'all seen some of the new facilities opening
 up?"
Snake Silvertongue says, "Nice places, especially in the Downtown Cul de
 Sac, by the way"
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "I'm glad you like them, Snake"
Crimson Beauregarde says, "I've seen the loop on Macaw.."
Joy Nalewi says, "I'm never going to be able to choose."
Ceit Galbraith says, "There will be more."
Joy Nalewi grins.
Crimson Beauregarde says, "But i'm not sure..."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Um, can we hire cleaning ladies?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Each residence will be one room.  One of your
 characters on your account will have access to this room."
Trevor Rage grins.
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, the janitors will be sure to pick things up,
 Snake."
Ceit Galbraith says, "There is *NO* storage in these rooms.  They're not
 designed for storage."
Ceit Galbraith says, "You'll also be able to have one guest assigned to your
 home."
Ceit Galbraith says, "This guest can come and go into your house as they
 please."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Even when we aren't here on the island?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Snake Silvertongue.
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Can we ever change that guest?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Your friends, other than this guest, can only get in
 your house when you permit them to come in."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Yep, it's up to you to select that guest, you can
 change or remove that guest at any time."
Marissa Tenchavez asks, "Can the guest be someone on your account, or does
 it have to be someone else?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "You don't even need to have a guest if you don't
 want."
Ceit Galbraith nods to Marissa Tenchavez.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Can be either."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Can you EJECT people like in some other personal
 rooms?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Snake Silvertongue.
Trevor Rage nods to Snake Silvertongue.
Angela Bond asks, "If we leave things on the floor, will they disappear?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Angela Bond.
Ceit Galbraith says, "No storage whatsoever."
Trevor Rage coughs.
Trevor Rage says, "Let me interject a moment and explain that a little."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Now, when we get these houses up and running..."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith nods to Trevor Rage.
Trevor Rage says, "No storage means this.."
Trevor Rage says, "These rooms are much like many other rooms.  There is a
 silent janitor that cleans garbage.  You can lay things down, but if you
 do, they might be taken."
Trevor Rage says, "As well, if you get bumped offline or leave the room,
 they WILL be deleted--immediately."
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Can we put them on things? like coats on racks,
 etc?"
Ceit Galbraith looks over at Crimson Beauregarde and shakes her head.
Trevor Rage says, "There may be a way to store one personal item on the
 wall, such as a hanging sword, a picture, whatever.  That feature is being
 determined, however."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "But not sack full of stuff?"
Trevor Rage says, "Nope.  That's the bennies of being level 50."
Trevor Rage chuckles.
Trevor Rage says, "Or getting an auctioned room."
Ceit Galbraith says, "We can't make any promises with the one personal item
 on the wall.  That's still undetermined."
Trevor Rage nods.
Julie McCoy asks, "Can we have a BCC room and a apt. or condo?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Julie McCoy.
Julie McCoy says, "Oh good"
Ceit Galbraith says, "I promised on the message boards that we'd hold a
 forum as soon as possible.  So not all of the issues are totally decided. 
 But we felt we were far enough along to meet."
Brian Indiana asks, "how is it determined who gets what room ?"
Brian Indiana smiles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "I'd like to go over some of the steps that you'll take
 when you're ready to purchase your house."
Ceit Galbraith grins at Brian Indiana.
Ceit Galbraith says, "That'll be part of this."
Brian Indiana nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Ceit Galbraith says, "One of the policies that Simu decided when they
 planned these houses was that the homes would be affordable enough for
 every premium player."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Of course, you're expected to have at least a bit of
 money, since you have to be  premium for 3 months.  So you're not just off
 the boat...but it's still going to be totally reasonable."
Ceit Galbraith says, "However, we know that some locations are going to be
 more..."
Ceit Galbraith gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Ceit Galbraith says, "In demand than others."
Ceit Galbraith says, "So, when we start up the homes, we're going to set a
 high price for the areas that we feel are the nicest."
Ceit Galbraith says, "And then, as the houses are sold, we'll be dropping
 the prices."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Like the Cul de Sac, Downtown?"
Snake Silvertongue smiles.
Ceit Galbraith nods to Snake Silvertongue.
Ceit Galbraith says, "My personal fave is probably Aracaris."
Dana Charleston raises her hand.
Ceit Galbraith says, "So, you'll be going to the real estate agent and
 buying your home."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Dana?"
Dana Charleston asks, "Hi, I'm considering becoming premium.  I was
 wondering if you could say the benefits again?"
Dana Charleston says, "I mean, about the room."
Ceit Galbraith smiles at Dana Charleston.
Dana Charleston says, "Because I'm having trouble seeing the difference
 between the room and the ATM."
Dana Charleston giggles.
Brian Indiana chuckles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "The room will be a private room, available only by you
 and your selected guest to enter."
Ceit Galbraith says, "By private, I mean that other playerss can't access
 the room without your permission."
Dana Charleston says, "Ah."
Ceit Galbraith says, "And, you'll be able to decorate your room to a
 certain extent to fit your "personality""
Ceit Galbraith says, "Which is a bit further on."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "You can't decorate the ATM."
Derrie Fields says, "Though I've seen people try."
Trevor Rage says, "Well you can, but if you make a mess with a multitude of
 drinks from the Pub, that's not much of decorating, and I'm likely to come
 after you."
GameMaster Trevor Rage idly taps the handle of his sawed-off shotgun as he
 glances around the area.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Okay..so when you buy your home, you'll go to the real
 estate agent and pay your fee.  Then, you'll go to choose your home."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Once you have your home, the home will have a standard
 "description""
Ceit Galbraith goes way OOC here.
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Um, what about a mess of drinks from the Cantina
 istead?"
Snake Silvertongue glances at Trevor Rage.
Trevor Rage pokes Snake Silvertongue in the ribs.
Snake Silvertongue seems nervous.
Ceit Galbraith says, "You will have a huge selection of scents to choose
 from, you can modify the scent that is wafting through your room at any
 time."
Trevor Rage smiles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Right now, I've got a house set up for myself.  Lily
 of the valley for me."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Berana Gregory asks, "Will we be able to buy furniture as soon as the homes
 are available or will there be a wait?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "There will be furniture shops open as soon as the
 houses are open."
Brian Indiana asks, "will the real estate agent have an office ?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "You'll be able to go to these shops and purchase
 different furniture"
Trevor Rage nods to Brian Indiana.
Ceit Galbraith says, "The furniture so far will be..."
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Is there gonna be a way to customize the
 furniture?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Floor coverings (carpet, hardwoods, etc)..."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Wall coverings (colors, wallpapers, etc.)"
Ceit Galbraith says, "A light source (lamps, etc.)"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Different styles of beds"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Tables..."
Xenia Wilson asks, "How 'bout a fire place?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Wall hangings (only 1 per room)...."
Ceit Galbraith grins at Xenia Wilson.
Ceit Galbraith says, "No fireplaces.  It's a bit hot in the Caribbean for
 fireplaces."
Angela Bond asks, "Do you know what the average price range will be for the
 houses?"
Ceit Galbraith looks over at Angela Bond and shakes her head.
Trevor Rage grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "That hasn't fully been decided.  We'll start them out
 high though."
Berana Gregory asks, "air conditioners and swamp coolers?"
Robert Gould asks, "Well how about central air?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Your electric bill would be way too high on this
 island."
Ceit Galbraith winks.
Julie McCoy asks, "Can you give us a ball park figure as to what
 "reasonable" will be in terms of construction costs?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Some residences may have windows, but this will depend
 on the sort of housing."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Will each 'house' only have one room, or will the
 higher priced one's have more than one room?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "You'll be able to close the windows so that people
 can't see in."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Or leave it open."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Only one room."
Ceit Galbraith says, "I wish I could, Julie, but that's something that
 hasn't even been broached with Siri yet."
Robert Gould says, "Will gm's be aloud to listen in the houses"
Trevor Rage says, "Costs are not at all decided, Julie.  But I assure you,
 you WILL be able to afford a home of some type."
Ceit Galbraith nods to Trevor Rage.
Trevor Rage says, "The homes are subject to all the standard policies and
 such."
Brian Indiana asks, "can non-premies be selected as our guest ?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Brian Indiana.
Trevor Rage says, "So, if you are breaking a policy, yes, we may hear it, we
 may warn for it.  Standard rules apply.  GM's don't just go looking about
 for things to see."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "What other questions are there?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Oh, you'll also be able to "rearrange" your rooms."
Brian Indiana raises his hand.
Ceit Galbraith says, "In the description of these rooms is each of the items
 that are in your home."
Ceit Galbraith says, "You can "rearrange" the rooms to choose from different
 methods of describing the rooms."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Indy?"
Brian Indiana asks, "does the owner have rule over the guest...like for
 tossing them out ?"
Brian Indiana glances at Ceit Galbraith.
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Can we write our own descriptions?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Yep"
Brian Indiana nods.
Ceit Galbraith says, "No, Crimson.  Those are in the system."
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Oh."
Joy Nalewi raises her hand.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Joy?"
Joy Nalewi says, "Will the Premium houses always be available?  I want to
 make sure I can pay for my house first"
Joy Nalewi grins.
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Yep, we've had the builders make more than we have
 premium subscribers."
Joy Nalewi nods.
Ceit Galbraith says, "But, you may not get the best neighborhood if you
 wait."
Brian Indiana raises his hand.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Indy?"
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Can you give a few examples of the Neighborhoods
 to come?"
Brian Indiana asks, "can we sell our house and buy a new one ?"
Brian Indiana grins at Ceit Galbraith.
Ceit Galbraith nods to Brian Indiana.
Ceit Galbraith says, "I *believe* you can."
Trevor Rage says, "It's a matter of looking around for the best place and
 nabbing one when you're ready.  The only limit is that all neighborhoods
 have limited homes in them.  We will add new neighborhoods or more to
 existing neighborhoods if the need arises."
Trevor Rage smiles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Oh, Crimson.  We can't give you all the excitement
 now."
Ceit Galbraith winks.
Robert Gould raises his hand.
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Can you *trade up* later, if you miss out on a
 townhouse?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "We'll be releasing new areas, but I can't say where."
Robert Gould says, "Will there be mortgages"
Ceit Galbraith asks, "What do you mean by "trade up", Snake?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "And no mortgages, Robert."
Trevor Rage says, "You might be able to use your current home as a "trade
 in" on a new one.  That feature isn't designed yet, no promises, but it'll
 be considered."
Snake Silvertongue says, "Well, I mean if you buy an apartment and a condo
 becomes available later, could you pay more for a better place"
Snake Silvertongue nods to Trevor Rage.
Snake Silvertongue says, "You answered before I asked"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Would you like to see what a "standard" room
 description, before modifications, looks like in DR?  It'll be a bit
 different in MO, for obvious reasons."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Walls of rough-hewn oak and a hardwood floor covered
 by a tasseled cotton rug enclose this room.  In one corner lies a simple
 stick cot, and near the cot sits a sturdy oak table.  Above a small firepit
 hangs an Estate Holder plaque.  The room holds a mild scent of dust.  You
 also see a door."
Ceit Galbraith says, "And when I talk about "rearranging"...."
Ceit Galbraith says, "A mild scent of dust fills this room.  Its rug-covered
 hardwood floor supports a simple stick cot and a sturdy oak table, and the
 area is enclosed by walls of rough-hewn oak.  A small firepit sits at the
 far wall, above it hanging an Estate Holder plaque.  You also see a door."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Does that give you a little better idea of what I
 mean?"
Ceit Galbraith smiles.
Crimson Beauregarde nods.
Brian Indiana nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Joy Nalewi nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Xenia Wilson nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Ananya Karinovna nods to Ceit Galbraith.
Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand.
Joy Nalewi asks, "Would the plaque have a name on it, or is that a DR
 thing?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "The plaque doesn't have a name on it in DR, I'm not
 sure what we'll be doing with it."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Crimson?"
Xenia Wilson raises her hand.
Berana Gregory raises her hand.
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Did you say we could choose the smell?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Crimson Beauregarde.
Crimson Beauregarde says, "And..."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Scent of dust in that room."
Ceit Galbraith says, "You can also select the strength of the smell. 
 Instead of mild, it could be strong."
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "You also said some stuff was already in the
 systems (as in options) will you be adding a more of a variety as time
 passes?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Most likely, yes."
Ceit Galbraith nods to Crimson Beauregarde.
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "So we can like...have a garage sale with our old
 furniture and buy new stuff, or does it always stay the same?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "You could use your furniture as trade-in for new
 furniture at any time at the furniture shops."
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Ah."
Crimson Beauregarde nods.
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Okay."
Ceit Galbraith says, "I could trade in the walls for a different set of
 walls that suit me more."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Xenia?"
Ceit Galbraith smiles at Xenia Wilson.
Xenia Wilson asks, "Would there be any verbs available to use the fire pit I
 saw in the discription you gave?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "There won't be a fire pit in MO."
Ceit Galbraith says, "It'd be a light source of some sort, like a lamp or
 track lighting."
Xenia Wilson says, "Ah.  Thanks for clarifying that."
Ceit Galbraith says, "And there may not be verbs for the light fixtures,
 those might be added later."
Julie McCoy raises her hand.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Since we're in a totally different time period, we
 need to do some extra things to  make it more realistic."
Ceit Galbraith says, "And that extra stuff would be added later."
Xenia Wilson says, "Of course."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Berana?"
Berana Gregory asks, "Will we have peep holes in our doors to see who's
 outside?"
Berana Gregory asks, "or is that the windows?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Hm.  I'm not sure whether those will be implemented or
 not."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Um, satillite TV? Coke machine full of beer? Any
 chance of that?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "I do recall seeing something about that, but I can't
 promise it, Berana."
Berana Gregory says, "ok"
Ceit Galbraith pokes Snake Silvertongue in the ribs.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Nope, no television nor soda machines full of beer."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Julie?"
Julie McCoy asks, "Can Christmas lights be a lighting source option?"
Snake Silvertongue says, "Jeez, some vacation"
Snake Silvertongue smirks.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, that's another thing we'd like to get from y'all
 tonight."
Ceit Galbraith says, "These are going to be your homes."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "Well, home is where the coke machine full of beer
 is, y'know?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "I'd love to hear some ideas for decorating that y'all
 have........."
Ceit Galbraith says, "But remember that the items would be put on a menu for
 all to choose from."
<Note: I deleted asking for some pets somewhere in here> :)
Rebekah Taylor says, "No pets"
Rebekah Taylor smiles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "So no purple and pink banana-scented wallpaper."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Raven?"
Raven Blackheart asks, "If I am understanding your request... you are
 seeking like specific items to be added as "extras"?"
Raven Blackheart asks, "Shelves, and wall hangings, and the like?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "More like what sort of walls, floors, light sources,
 beds, tables, etc."
Brian Indiana asks, "do you want to go through the various categories ?"
Brian Indiana glances at Ceit Galbraith.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Feel free to just spew all sorts of ideas."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "How often do you really get to just spew out ideas?"
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Consider it a brainstorm session."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Hm..let's see.  Things I've  thought of so far..."
Snake Silvertongue asks, "What if you customized things for different
 professions?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Green shag carpet, hardwood floor, Oriental rug..."
Ceit Galbraith nods to Snake Silvertongue.
Julie McCoy says, "Batik wall hangings"
Julie McCoy says, "Mosquito Netting beds"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Any ideas that you'd like to throw out into the fray."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Ooh, I like that one, Julie"
<A whole bunch of ideas deleted.> :)
Snake Silvertongue says, "What if you brought the Fashion skill and other
 things into it"
Kim Canella says, "No, Snake, I would end up with linoleum"
Snake Silvertongue says, "Like, the higher your Fashion skill, the more
 options you had or something"
A look of pain crosses Ananya Karinovna's face.
Trevor Rage grins.
Ananya Karinovna says, "I would be in much trouble."
Trevor Rage begins chuckling at Ananya Karinovna.
Trevor Rage says, "I took a moment to prepare an example, since we don't
 have an actual room to show off."
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Ceit Galbraith smiles at Trevor Rage.
Trevor Rage says, "Want to see?  Just the contents of the room."

Trevor Rage moves the furniture around.

[Trevor's Home]
A strong scent of hyacinth fills this tiny room.  Its rug-covered hardwood
 floor supports a plush four-poster bed and a polished mahogany table, and
 the area is enclosed by walls of smooth eggshell-white.  A slim metal lamp
 sits at the far wall, above it hanging an Estate Holder plaque.  You also
 see a door.

Julie McCoy nods to Trevor Rage.
Brian Indiana nods to Trevor Rage.
Brian Indiana says, "oooh"
Raven Blackheart says, "Futon bed"
Joy Nalewi says, "Oh, I like that"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Raven Blackheart.
Crimson Beauregarde exclaims, "WATERBEDS!"
Crimson Beauregarde beams happily.
Trevor Rage says, "Now, notice the strong scent of hyacinth.  That could
 have been a lesser scent.  YOU set that.  You also change that scent at
 will."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Good one, Raven"
Berana Gregory asks, "Will we be able tap the plaque to get rid of it?"
Trevor Rage says, "I'm not certain at this time, Berana."
Ceit Galbraith nods to Berana Gregory.
Trevor Rage smiles.
Snake Silvertongue says, "Okay, so not everyone has a high Fashion skill,
 what if you could employ someone who did, and it would lower the cost, or
 give you access to more items"
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Raven Blackheart asks, "Are chests, or locked cedar chests ok?"
Trevor Rage says, "Now, I could change the furniture around a bit.  You can
 do this at any time as well."

Trevor Rage moves the furniture around.

[Trevor's Home]
A plush four-poster bed and a polished mahogany table rest upon the hardwood
 floor of this tiny room.  A slim metal lamp, an Estate Holder plaque
 hanging above it, sits at the edge of the cotton rug covering the floor. 
 Smooth eggshell-white walls enclose the area, holding in its strong smell
 of hyacinth.  You also see a door.

Ceit Galbraith says, "It should be in there, but we haven't checked,
 Berana."
Trevor Rage says, "Or again."
Ceit Galbraith chuckles.

Trevor Rage moves the furniture around.

[Trevor's Home]
A hardwood floor spreads across this tiny room into surrounding walls of
 smooth eggshell-white.  A slim metal lamp, an Estate Holder plaque hanging
 above it,  stands guard over the plush four-poster bed and polished
 mahogany table that rest upon a tasseled cotton rug covering the floor.  A
 strong scent of hyacinth fills the air.  You also see a door.

Trevor Rage asks, "Did you mention custom merchants, Ceit?"
Crimson Beauregarde asks, "Ewe...doesn't it ^have^ to be [name]'s home?"
Ceit Galbraith looks over at Trevor Rage and shakes her head.
Trevor Rage nods.
Brian Indiana asks, "Trevor..are you controlling that or is it random
 arrangement ?"
Ceit Galbraith nods to Crimson Beauregarde.
Trevor Rage says, "It's random based on the contents of the room.  An
 amazing system, really."
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Maybe with different neighboorhoods there can be
 different home titles.."
Trevor Rage says, "There will be custom merchants to make special furniture
 from time to time, aside from the normal shops."
Ceit Galbraith says, "That's the way it's set up, Crimson.  There's no
 changing that part."
Trevor Rage says, "There's all kinds of scents, not just floral."
Ceit Galbraith says, "I thought of a few scents.."
Brian Indiana asks, "and the merchant furniture will be low-cost too right
 Trevor ?"
Brian Indiana grins at Trevor Rage.
Trevor Rage grins at Brian Indiana.
Trevor Rage says, "Oh.."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Leather...chocolate...citrus..."
Trevor Rage says, "Something else."
Ceit Galbraith says, "Vanilla..."
Rebekah Taylor says, "Rotting garbage, bad milk"
Rebekah Taylor grins at Ceit Galbraith.
Rebekah Taylor hums a tune softly to herself.
Ceit Galbraith laughs!
Ceit Galbraith just tickled Rebekah Taylor.
Rebekah Taylor says, "BO"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Rebekah has been helping a lot with  the brainstorming
 for different smells and designs."
Trevor Rage says, "You can lean on the furniture etc.  So, say a friend
 walks in.  He might see You sitting on the bed, So-and-so propped up
 against a wall, etc."
Crimson Beauregarde nods.
Audrey Reede giggles.
Brian Indiana says, "oooh"
Brian Indiana smiles at Trevor Rage.
Rebekah Taylor smiles at Ceit Galbraith.
Julie McCoy asks, "Can we actually lie on the beds?"
Julie McCoy grins.
Trevor Rage nods to Julie McCoy.
Julie McCoy says, "I could have sworn we used to be able to"
Trevor Rage says, "Lie, sit, stand, whatever."
Trevor Rage grins.
Trevor Rage says, "Maybe."
Trevor Rage chuckles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "I'll also keep checking the boards for additional
 ideas that y'all have for what sorts of furniture you'd like to see
 available in the shops."
Audrey Reede asks, "Trevor, sorry for getting here late, and I know this has
 been asked probley, but when will they first be avalible?"
Rebekah Taylor asks, "Cat box?"
Rebekah Taylor rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Rebekah Taylor says, "oh, no pets"
Trevor Rage says, "No set date.  We've been cranking on it though.  It's a
 very challenging system, but we're making good progress."
Brian Indiana asks, "how many rooms do you expect to have at the start ?"
Ceit Galbraith says, "Yes, there will not be pets.  I know some of the other
 products have said that they plan to have pets, but we won't be
 implementing that option."
Trevor Rage says, "Not determined."
Brian Indiana asks, "how many rooms are set up now ?"
Audrey Reede asks, "Will it be more than one?"
Trevor Rage asks, "Rooms per home you mean?"
Audrey Reede says, "yea"
Julie McCoy asks, "Why the anti-pet sentiments?"
Julie McCoy grins.
Brian Indiana says, "n ototal rooms"
Ceit Galbraith grins.
Brian Indiana says, "er total rooms"
Julie McCoy says, "I saw a GM walking around with a pet once.. I can't
 remember who"
Crimson Beauregarde points at Ceit Galbraith.
Crimson Beauregarde exclaims, "HER!"
Trevor Rage says, "Right now one room per each home.  That *may* change down
 the road, but that's a big change in the system."
Crimson Beauregarde says, "That little leopard.."
Angela Bond asks, "Can we change the scents to whatever we want whenever?"
Ceit Galbraith asks, "If pets haven't been permitted in the 50th level
 homes, how can we say that premium homes can?"
Crimson Beauregarde raises his hand.
Ceit Galbraith nods to Angela Bond.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, from the options that are provided."
Ceit Galbraith says, "You can't simply choose any scent you wish, it has to
 be one of the options."
Brian Indiana asks, "will there be doorbells ?"
Trevor Rage nods.
Ceit Galbraith says, "Which is why I was asking for suggestions for
 furniture and scents."
Trevor Rage says, "Nodding to Ceit."
Trevor Rage grins.
Ceit Galbraith says, "No doorbells, Brian"
Brian Indiana asks, "but you ca nknock ?"
Trevor Rage nods to Brian Indiana.
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Someone raised their hand?"
Ceit Galbraith glances around.
Raven Blackheart says, "Crimson did a little bit ago."
Ceit Galbraith asks, "Crimson, did you still have a question?"
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Oh yeah..."
Crimson Beauregarde says, "You said something about custom merchants...will
 the items they do be like everything else or will there be actions wth
 them."
Ceit Galbraith says, "They'll be like all the rest."
Crimson Beauregarde nods.
Julie McCoy asks, "Bathrooms?"
Crimson Beauregarde says, "Use the bushes."
Julie McCoy asks, "Will there be a communal dorm like bathroom on each
 floor?"
Crimson Beauregarde hums a tune softly to himself.
Brian Indiana chuckles.
Ceit Galbraith says, "No bathrooms or kitchenettes.  They'll all be the one
