Location Ideas

Mhmkay. So, I got down a few food places for the site, with descriptions. Not sure if you two will like them, or anything, but we can work off them until we're satisfied. I even did the description for the food board.

Though the times may be desperate, and members of families may be dying, we all have to eat to survive. As much as one might not want to survive in a world that’s captured over Essex, it’s mandatory to stuff your face until you can no longer feel your jaw. There’s many places to pick from, ranging from McDonalds, all the way to fancy restaurants like Brewbakers.

Ah yes, the most known fast food joint around the world. Even a place as horrible as Essex has managed to put up with the smell of its food on the streets, no matter how bad the food really is for a human being (let alone any other specie). As usual, the seating areas are crowded, the large playpen is full of children, and the workers are completely disgusted by the food they're serving.

The fresh smell of rich, and highly expensive, coffee and cappuccino mixtures can always be smelt no less than fifteen feet from the doors. The employees are usually always in a good mood, unless you get the oddball out, and are ready to take your orders with patience. Or maybe it's just the caffeine getting to their heads. The chairs and tables are as fake as the smiles pulled across the employee’s faces, the fake leather always annoyingly sticking to any exposed skin, and the constant sound of public writers hammering away at the keyboards seems to drown out any distasteful music they’re playing.

Brewbakers is a famous restaurant, known for its wide variety of wood-fired oven pizza, pasta, seafood, steaks, desserts, and many more wonderful dishes. With insides seating, as well as patio seating, it's been said that reservations are always booked. Even with the staff, it's a hard squeeze to get into employment. Clearly high maintenance, yet surprisingly affordable.

Being one of the finest Chinese restaurants in Essex, NJ, it’s important to send a clear image of what they have to offer. There’s also seating available for customers, as well as wheel chair accessible. A variety of food is set out for your pleasurable picking, ranging from Chinese food to sea food, all the way to a few modern pieces they’ve picked out. The setting within the restaurant is casual, giving off an easy mood to chat to, and feel comfortable in. The prices are low, only adding to the decent mood you’ll be feeling when you leave. As if that wasn’t enough, they take delivery calls, as well.

Just like those annoying chimerical with talking animal heads indicate, Montana’s is simply the best place to choose if you’re looking for some well cooked meat. Any way you like, they’ll serve your favorite dish to you in a timely manner. The menus are easy to read, with a lot of variety to choose from, not including the separate dessert menus available. The seating ranges from indoor to outdoor, classy radio tunes playing barely above the conversations carrying. The steakhouse lives up to what people have made it sound with their affordable prices and delicious dishes.[/ul]

Like I said, not the greatest, but it's a good start so far.[/size]

Kay, so, TJ and I were discussing (kinda, not really) last minute ideas for the other places. I've done rough sketch of what we want, but I haven't put in any description yet. I'll do that when I wake up.

The mall is one of the only places you will ever find Teenagers, Adults, and seniors all mingling willingly. Various stores allow various tasks to be completed, whether you’re shopping for clothing, new accessories, or just looking for a place to pick up someone to talk with. Even with its crude security officers, the mall seems to be one of the hottest places to hang out if you aren’t of legal age to drink.

It’s a grease-lovers dream. The food court is filled with the most known fast food places such as KFC, New York Fries, Mr. Sub, McDonalds, and Boston Pizza. Right around the corner is this neat place called Bulk Barn, where loads of candy and other baking supplies can be bought by the pound. The seating within the food court are arranged so that each table has their own personal space, though it’s not ridiculously spaced.

We all know the wonderful items HMV carry. The shelves vary from dvds, cds, to video games. This hot spot is the best place to pick up the latest films, music artists, and console games for a decent price. Also available are posters, t shirts, the usual small figurines of dead artists or highly interested characters from movies. What more could you ask for?

There isn’t a single soul that doesn’t know the bookstore called Chapters. Booklovers come into Chapters seeking new things to spend countless hours feeding into their bodies. Aside from books, Chapters also holds many bookmarks, magazines, cards of all kinds, and sometimes even small knick-knacks like key chains, and pens. Each model of Chapters seems to be the same, the carpets are always and orange brown, the walls a dark maroon. The shelves range from the colours beige and oak-red, keeping the temperature of the rooms always a nice and toasty feeling. To top off their high prices on books, there are also many available leather seats to lounge in.

Unlike most clothing stores, Disco Inferno sells just about any style you want. Gangster, punk, alternative, thrift, prep. Whatever you’re into, you’ll be sure to find something you either like, or at least look good in, here. Along with clothing, they also sell shoes of all kinds, as well as accessories. One-stop-shop, as their logo says. Everything you need for your physical appearance.

What’s better than sitting in the warm sand with your love interest and splashing each other with cold water? Almost nothing. The beach is a perfect place to either discover yourself with a special someone, or find that very someone to share some “moments” with. It’s open to anyone and everyone, changing stalls and shower stalls for the surfers, and swimmers, even a few stands available for food and drinks.

Whether you’re taking a jog, or just strolling, the board walk is a great place to view the scenery with fresh air added into the mix. When the weather’s perfect, you can see people of all ages roaming around the wooden walk with their friends, animals, and families. Seating is arranged on either side of the board walk for couples and individuals who want to watch the water. Of course, there’s always a second purpose for the board walk. The path under it is always available for couples who just can’t wait to express themselves while their alone.

The docks hold a great many deal of boats to it. Some don’t even use the dock to hold their water vehicles. Most come to fish, or just to relax and dip their feet in the rippling water without the stuffy crowds of a beach around them. The docks are best viewed at sunset, the sun glistening off the water, casting shapes against the trees surrounding the water’s edges.

Sure, it's fifteen bucks to get in, but after the door fare the night you're having usually seems to pick up in mood rather quickly. The strip club's dancers are the finest in town, married or not, you'll get a lap dance without a complaint. The alcohol is expensive, but there's no id limit. Backrooms for private dances, and lord-only-knows what else.

Lunar Rouge is your typical pup, over flowing with beers on tap, pool tables, decent food, and entertainment Saturday nights. The waitresses are cheesy, the bouncers slacking, but all in all, you want to find someone who can take a hit, here would be your best choice.

That is all I can think of at the moment. Like I said, I'll do the descriptions when I wake up.[/size]

[THE ADMIN]

Descriptions.
Powered by THE Bitch/Vika/Ana’s boredom & fucked up mind.


Park
The best place for a calming stroll, either alone or with company, must be the park. Its favourable position in the centre of Essex makes it easy to reach, but takes away a bit of the peace and quiet. Throughout the morning and afternoon, couples use the park to hang out, office workers try to empty their minds and animal-lovers walk their dogs - in the therefore appointed area, of course. The trees provide plenty of shadow, even in the hottest months of the year, and there are benches to relax on. However, it is known to be quite the dangerous place at night. Proper citizens try to avoid the park after dusk, just in case, leaving it open for darker individuals.

Relation Charts
Charts for plots and relationships between characters may be posted here. Much like a database, it should contain information and facts. Use it as a reminder for yourself, after all, you wouldn’t want to forget anything, would you?

Phone Conversations
Any phone conversations will be stored here, whether they’re spoken through a cell or house phone.

Plotting Center
The place to discuss new plots, ask for ideas or help. You may talk about anything considering your character’s relationships and plots here. A polite cry for attention for a new character won’t be ignored - needless spamming will.

Hospital
As many other modern cities, Essex houses a hospital. The fairly large, dark brick complex doesn’t look appealing, many don’t like visiting it either, yet it forms a crucial part of society. Yellow hallways lead from room to room, from the operation rooms to the reception. Of course, the characteristic hospital smell bothers all around. The wounded, the drugged; basically everyone that’s taken damage in any way is transported here for treatment. The staff is professional - with a few exceptions, but they’ll always do their best to heal their patients. Crammed with the most modern technology, the hospital is a 21st century miracle. All in all, the chance you get out alive is large. But then again - that depends on the case - no.

Forest
Covering quite some ground, the forest is large enough for everybody. Just outside the city, it’s spacious and extremely quiet. At some places, the roof of leaves is so thick, it allows very little or no light at all through. Those places are quite dark and timid. Other than that, it’s a friendly place to relax in. Citizens come here to sniff the fresh air, watch the beautiful green scenery or spot some wildlife. You won’t find many predators here, just birds and an occasional raccoon. It’s not recommended for very small children: the forest has been kept as natural as possible, which means quite some sharp, broken branches that could be dangerous for the littlest ones
