Rookery — Roleplayer Guild

Conference Room #3 - Welcome Building
8:30 AM

Open Roads’ case workers gathered in the small conference room. There were ten in total, each responsible for eight to twelve residents. Andrew Rhodes was standing in front of them holding the latest files. He’s planning to shift around the newer residents so that the work load is equally distributed. The senior case worker was only responsible for six teenagers at the moment since two of his ward have already graduated and started living a responsible life. Among the six were long timers Holy Daly, Alistair Knight and Erika Sutherland. Andrew was concerned with Erika. She’d shown little improvement since her arrival and it’s been nearly a year. By the time she turns nineteen, she can no longer stay within the shelter.

He pushed these thoughts aside and address his co-workers: “As you heard, we got an influx of new residents these past few days. We have to assign these kids a guardian, who’ll be us. They accepted the commitment of becoming a resident. It’s our responsibility to guide them to a better road than they are on now. So I asked, can anybody of you take an addition? Mind your work load though, we wouldn’t like you burn out.”

Howard Brown, one of the older employees of Open Roads was the first to volunteer. “I can take up a couple. I only got eight and one of them is graduating today.” He tends to pick up the harder cases since he has one of the greatest patience and have dealt with troubled youth all throughout his career.

Andrew passed him Callie Evans' and Anthony Ware's file. “Ms. Evans has been with us for nearly a week. She has shown little signs of cooperation. According to Diane, she might have something against authority figures.”

“I’m hardly an authority but I got a lot of experience with such kids before.” Howard chuckled.

Samantha Geer was the next one who volunteered. “I currently have nine youngster on my hands but they’re progressing well. I think an addition wouldn’t hurt my load.” Andrew assigned her Isabella Roma and Azai Chasina.

“I don’t think these kids will give you much trouble but they’re lost so guide them well.” The senior case worker gave her an encouraging smile. Sam was warm-hearted and her aura made the kids feel comfortable.

“As for I, I’ll be take up the rest since I have the lightest load. That’ll be all.” He dismissed them and thought about the files he has on hand. There was one kid is particularly interested in, Ruben Batista. He reminds of himself when he was young. Maybe he can teach him a few life tricks he learned in his youth.

Showers and Toilets
8:30 AM – Levi Ackerman

Britt has been recently employed in Open Roads as a janitor. Unlike the other places she was employed where the work load was evenly distributed, cleaning duties here were gambled – nightly. She loss the poker game and now she was assigned to clean all the toilets and the showers of the Shelter. Assholes. She cursed her colleagues slightly. Brit just started mopping the showers and toilets for the guests when she heard vomiting. Shit. She checked the stalls one by one until she opened one with a person hunching over, as if praying to the Gods of Indoor Plumbing. She took out her phone from her blue overalls and texted one of the nurses in the clinic.

“Girl, you better not puck your stomach out. It’s a bitch to clean.” Was the only thing Brit said while standing guard until the Nurses arrived to help the poor girl into the clinic. The janitor noticed the symptoms since she was down the same road before, withdrawal hell, and from the looks of things, the girl might be staying over for another night.

Special Needs Housing – 3rd floor, Residential Building
9:45 AM

Claire was just half way through her meal after an hour and fourth-five minutes. She waited exactly five minutes for every bite. An hour fourthy-five, twenty-one bites equals to half a meal. Three hours and a half, fourthy-two bites equals to a full meal. They won’t allow me to have a full meal. I need three hours and a half to eat a full meal. They just give me two hours. Two hours equals to twenty-four bites equals to half a meal. These thoughts raced through her head. She set her wrist watch to ring within five minutes so that she could take her next bite.

Claire has been a resident in Open Roads for nearly a month. She was a half-starved amputee, diabetic and homeless 15-year-old kid who’s luckily came across the shelter. Unlike the other guest, she got special treatment when she arrived. According to the nurses she was a minute away from death but some kind of saving grace brought her here. Whatever, she’s just happy she can eat without begging or scavenging for left overs. Her alarm and the PA system rang at the same time. Claire took a bite and listened.

“Calling the following Residents to the Assembly Room in the Welcome Building: Isabella Roma, Callie Evans, Anthony Ware, Azai Chasina, Ruben Batista, Benjamin Vaughn.”

The message was broadcast twice more then it went silent. Newbies being assigned Guardians. Claire looked out the window and wondered if she could recognized the new faces.

“Welcome to Open Roads.” She said to no one.

Scenario [+]

Dragonbud said Also, question, do guests get therapy sessions or is that only for residents? And would a guest/resident be able to have a phone on them?

Group Therapy are only for residents but a guest may talk to a therapist 1x1. Phones are allowed of course, but keep it safe, you're among homeless too (Not saying they steal all the time but some might).

Studies and Training depends on the Character. If a bunch of character is on the same level then they have classes together. If a character is smart and college level, they're provided piratical training. If the character needs a special curriculum then they'll have 1x1 studies.

Wernher said Any possible roomies? EDIT: Also, possible list of courses/trainings? Seeing how my character is the nerdiest/Possibly only one to have aced high school, it would be interesting. Maybe have to use this time to help tutor others since she's more educated?

I'll be giving you guys the option on your roomies but you're free to have your own room, mind though that you're sharing it with a Common Resident if you're resident, or with many others if you're a guest (the pavilion is the Guest Sleeping Area). Also keep in mind, it's segregated i.e. there is a girl dorm and guy dorm.

To TraceStHusky, You're CS is accepted :D
