ATTLETON

CURRENT GUARDIAN: VACANT
LEGAL NOTICES: The following laws have been added by player characters in this city:

Description
A peaceful little community, with a few franchise-style restaurants and fast food joints, numerous shops and small businesses, and a cozy sort of small-town feel to it. Inhabitants of this suburban paradise are warm and welcoming for the most part, but you do have to be on the lookout for social miscreants after dark who aren't afraid to mug or bully an easy target.

Attleton Academies
Attleton Academies is a small school with small class sizes, including an Elementary, Middle, and High School branch. All the branches are connected on one campus. The resources aren't the most updated, but they're not horrendously out of date either, as the city does its best to care for its youngsters. Lunch is provided for students and staff members.

Attleton Boardwalk
Exactly what it sounds like! A boardwalk. With several openings for shops, restaurants and the like, open enough to roller blade on! Because the mayor who pushed for this project never left the 90's. It's your standard wooden boardwalk, stairs leading up to the main walkway, electric lamps to light the way at night, raised high off the ground to keep it dry from... from all the no water. Because there's no water.

Attleton University
Looking to further your education? Get your college degree as one of the Space Cowboys at Attleton University! A wide selection of programs are available for academic majors. Make an appointment with a counselor today to see if we're a match for you! Financial aid is available for students with *** or lower income. Academic perks such as the library, computer lab, tutoring, and more are available to all students.

Battle Colosseum
There's a special bus stop where people can board and be transported to a place resembling ancient Roman times, where an enormous Battle Colosseum is filled with cheering fans. This is the only place in all of Genessia where death is not permanent or penalized. Grudge matches can be held here, and any and all fights are generally met with an uproar of applause and cheers. Characters who are killed in battle here are regenerated in the medical area of the Colosseum; they do not have to sacrifice anything to return to life.

City Guardian's Office
The Guardian's office in Attleton is much like a small-town sheriff's station. There's a main area with a desk and a couple of chairs in it, a filing cabinet, two small cells for temporary holding made of iron bars, and an office for the Guardian himself. Toward the end of 2017, it was renovated to add in a dedicated interrogation room and a second large office for deputies. The former conference room was flipped to become a rec room with a sofa sleeper for night shift naps. The current Guardian is always welcome to redecorate to with their own style or keep it as-is.

Downtown Market
Away from the suburbs is the retail district, similar to just about anything you'd find in a medium-sized American town. There are all kinds of shops, stores, and businesses, ranging from pet shops to tax consultants. There's also a large covered farmers' market open year round from 6AM to 5PM, where one can buy homemade baked goods, produce, fresh fish and meats, or handmade crafts.

The Garden Bistro
The Garden Bistro is a rustic designed classical Italian bistro located in the small town of Attleton. Discuss with our wine sommelier what best accompanies your dining choice and enjoy the atmosphere that makes you feel rich without breaking the bank.

Juliet's Lair - Owner: Grell Sutcliff
Juliet's Lair is a lingerie shop which, for the Attleton location, will cater to those who have high class tastes yet within affordability, and those who want to buy things discreetly via catalog mail in service (distributed once a month to subscribers). Why does such a place need to exist? Well, not everyone wants to buy just any type of lingerie, and some people are shy or literally don't want their laundry known by all of the world. She can even go to a person's place of abode to outfit them with what they need at an extra cost. The store will be open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and closed weekends. Mail in orders take 3-5 business days to process and be delivered. Express delivery available at an extra fee.

South Attleton Safety Society
Marked by a lawn sign, the South Attleton Safety Society meets twice a month to discuss ways to let the Town Hall know their safety concerns. Their current primary issue is achieving equality in safety for non-powered folk and making sure that all dogs are walked on leashes, not off.

Schnee Company, Attleton Branch - Owner: Winter Schnee
Located near archway entrance inside Attleton, Schnee Company provides information and services in order to help newcomers to Attleton adjust to technology levels to modern technology both from futuristic and archaic practices, travel services, finding housing and employment within the city, basic maintenance of city events and planning, as well as travel planning and assistance with public transportation services. This branch of Schnee Company focuses on Attleton-relevant services. Schnee Company offers workshops on street safety, driving classes, assisting in enrollment in traditional STEM education, and more.

Skate Park
A park with a number of dips, ramps, half-pipes, and so on for skaters, bikers, bladers, and other riders to enjoy. Ride at your own risk, and there are signs that say to always wear a helmet and padding. There's also an emergency phone in case something happens posted toward the center of the park.

Tinkey's Toys
Tinkey's Toys is a heart-to-home toy business that creates toys by hand for the children of Attleton. It isn't run by a corporation, but by a kindly gentleman who simply loves toys of all kinds and loves to put a smile on childrens' faces. It reminds him of his grandchildren who died in a tragic Attleton serial killing incident, but still live on in his heart.

Town Hall
The mayor and other city employees work here! It's a small government building with older-style desks and a quaint feel to it.

Current Archways Activated

12's Office at St. Luke's University Bristol, UK 2017 - Activated by The 12th Doctor
It's just a regular old professor's office, somewhat like his old one but a bit bigger and a bit posher. A desk sits in the center of a room packed with bookshelves and some ornate lights. There is usually a guitar sitting somewhere. In one corner of the office sits a big blue police box, completely normal and common place and nothing extraordinary about it honestly. Link.

Oak Tree Town - Activated by Annie
A peaceful country village with a thriving farming community! The streets of the main town are cobbled and well-maintained, with little landscaping touches here and there to make it relaxing and pretty. One can visit a carpenter's shop, an antique shop, a restaurant, a general store, or head to the main plaza where different vendors come to call from foreign lands. There's a comfortable inn with two vacant rooms for rent should someone wish to stay in town for a while. At the guild hall there's a doctor's clinic as well as a registration desk where farmers can sign up to take their livestock on safari to a relaxing, lush green field filled with exotic animals and plenty of places for miners to pick up some ores and gems. Outside of town the roads are dusty and there are all kinds of insects to catch. A lazy river winds past providing plenty of water for the fields. Not only is it safe to swim here, but it's also great for fishing. Just don't fill it with trash! Following the dusty road, one can see the various specialty fields meant for growing certain crops. If one is particularly good-hearted or has supernatural senses, they might even see the tiny Harvest Sprites visiting the fields, though they typically don't interact much with humans. At the end of the dusty road is Annie's pride and joy, the Home Farm, where animals graze on large patches of grass, and a series of little manufacturing sheds quaintly designed to resemble their purpose are lined up in a row and humming along as they process raw goods into finished products. There are lots of fruit trees and seasonal crops, and four greenhouses set up to simulate each season so that crops can be harvested year-round. The seasons pass much more quickly here than they do in the real world, each one lasting only a month. So it's entirely possible to escape the winter cold of Attleton and bask in the hot summer heat if the months line up right!
