<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Everything happening IC in The Park (and the restaurants and businesses there) of Moon Base Aluce should be posted in this thread. </span><br/> (#10 on the map (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260093.msg12842691#msg12842691))</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Under the dome in the center of Moon Base Aluce lies the hub of commerce and recreation for the whole base. The Park is a cavernous chamber, mostly given to a park intesected by paths wide enough to accomodate Zentraedi, with some areas clearly marked for micron use only. In the center of The Park is a bandstand surrounded by an amphitheater that can seat both micronians and macrons (but mostly the former, as giant-sized people can still enjoy a show seated around the perimeter of The Park).<br/>Around the perimeter of the Park, shops and restaurants line the walls of this large chamber, the ground floor given to giant-sized shops and restaurants, while the micron shops occupy the upper level, with storefronts, walkways, and outdoor seating on balconies that are about head-high for the Zentraedi going about their business below.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Map of The Park</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/82/TheParkMapMacross2032JPG.jpg)<br/>I am not putting a scale on this map, but the whole area is probably about 1 square mile large, maybe a little more. Just to give you a sense of scale that would mean the sports grounds (B) might be large enough for around ten football fields, maybe a dozen.<br/>A - The bandstand<br/>B - Sports grounds (micronian only)<br/>C - To military quarters<br/>D - To Command Center<br/>E - To Zentraedi Quarters<br/>F - To Luna City (civilian section)<br/>G - Zentraedi-sized businesses<br/>H - Fountain<br/>I - Flower beds (all the "triangular" sections in the middle of the park)<br/>J - Trees and bushes (other areas are meadows)</div></div><br/><strong>Businesses in The Park:</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">1: The Pancake Parlor</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f0/MikiEstebanMacross2032JPG.jpg)</div><strong>The Pancake Parlor</strong><br/>Run by married couple Miki and Esteban Salgado, this micronian restaurant is tucked away in a corner of The Park, close to Luna City. The Pancake Parlor is a small business, seating 8 around the U-shaped counter and another 16 at three tables for four, and two tables for two. Miki and Esteban serve coffee, tea, and other non-alcoholic beverages - and of course pancakes. Specialties are Apfelkuchen (apple rings fried in pancake dough), and a unique dish they call a "pancake pizza", a savoury dish of meat and vegetables rolled in pancake dough, somewhat similar to Lahmajoun (Turkish pizza).</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">2: Roast In Space</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/af/KiraAvatarMacross2032JPG.jpg)</div>The <strong>Roast in Space</strong> is a coffee shop run by Kira McKlane, an Irish woman in her thirties. The Roast serves - of course - coffee, but also home-made pastries and other baked goods, but the bakery part is not the main business, so it's a "first come, first served" deal. The cafe has an almost Irish Pub feel to it with faux painted walls that look like wood and lots of old worn sofas and tables to give the place the feel of having been around for ages. Kira's brother works in the zero-gee construction business. The siblings also have a cousin in the transportation business who gets them good deals on their coffee deliveries from Earth.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> 3: The Copper Kettle</div><div class="spoiler_body">A restaurant that serves both Zentraedi and micronians. The <strong>Copper Kettle</strong> serves stew from a perpetual stew cooking all the time. Ingredients are added almost at random, depending what large delivery is available to feed giants. The Zentraedi seating is only for a handful of people on simple chairs and small tables, so sometimes you'll have to wait a little. A waitress at the Kettle is Bethany, a young pink-haired Meltran. </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">4: Valhalla</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a5/CarlAnderssonAvatarMacross2032JPG.jpg)</div><strong>Valhalla</strong><br/>A bar near the sports fields, patronized mostly by Valkyrie pilots. The atmosphere is surprisingly casual, given the alcohol provided. The drinks tend to be on the more expensive side, partly due to the higher pay of officers, but also to meet the restrictions placed on flight privileges. One of the selling points of Valhalla is the staffs familiarity with such restrictions; you can show up, get reasonably drunk, and not worry about fucking over your career.<br/><br/>In addition to drinks, Valhalla has other recreational options, including arcade cabinets, pool tables, and a few karaoke boxes.<br/><br/>One of the more striking features of Valhalla is a a completely disassembled VF-1 Valkyrie hanging piece by piece from the ceiling. A number of the components are heavily damaged; its something of a bragging right to have a piece of your Valkyrie that was damaged by enemy fire replace one of the existing parts hanging from the ceiling. <br/><br/>Valhalla is owned by Carl Olaf Legros, a retired Destroid pilot, often addressed by the staff (and some regulars) as "Sarge".</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">5: Selene's</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Selene's</strong> started out as a lingerie boutique, but at some point branched out into also selling fetish clothing in a separate section of the store. Recently a limited selection of sex toys and related items has been added to the 'specialty clothing' section.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> 6: Zipangu</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/48/ZipanguMacross2032JPG.jpg)</div><strong>Zipangu</strong> was opened five years prior to the start of the story. Its "hole in the wall" location is a deliberate choice by its owner, Ryoko. She does not advertise her Pub's business, but instead relies entirely on word of mouth to draw in customers. The Pub offers a wide selection of Liquors, and beers though it does carry more Japanese alcohol than foreign. Zipangu is open five nights a week (Wed, Th, Fri, Sat, Sun) from 4pm - 2am, and closed on Monday, and Tuesday. Though they may be open on occasion for a holiday at the discretion of the owner. The Bar has no TVs, nor Wifi. The guests are encouraged to talk with each other rather than be engrossed in electronic devices.  While the primary clientele of Zipangu seem be the Japanese denizens of ALUCE base, others are welcome as well. While the Pub does not serve meals, they do offer the typical bar snacks such as edamame. <br/><br/>The Bar's lay out is that there is a long "L" shaped counter along the left wall with a large mirror, and shelves of high end liquor behind it. Several stools line along the counter. Along the back wall, and the right side of the Pub are booths reserved for parties of at least 2, or more. Paper lanterns, and low lighting add a intimate, and cozy atmosphere. Soft Japanese folk music is often played for ambiance. The Space can seat fifty patrons, but Ryoko does not like the number exceeding thirty as she feels it takes away from the relaxed atmosphere. Though usually, the most the Pub would see a night is about twenty five.<br/><br/>The Pub employs three waitresses; Ayame, Hina, and Futaba. <br/><br/>Two waitresses always handle the customers while a third acts as busboy and gathering the dirty glasses, and plates. <br/><br/>Ryoko is the Pub's owner and tends the bar. She is cool, composed, and keenly observant. She has strict rules on how her patrons are to behave, and any that cross the line are immediately expelled from the Pub. She is protective of her girls. Though she doesn't show it, Ryoko has a fondness for females as oppose to men. She doesn't appear to be overly concerned with how profitable her establishment is, just so long as her patrons are happy, and enjoying themselves. There are rumors that she has ties to the Yakuza. <br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">7: Cordoba</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/LuizDaCostaAvatarMacross2032JPG.jpg)</div>Cordoba bills itself as "the best steakhouse in outer space", and no one has contested the title yet. Given the cost of importing meat to the Moon, Cordoba may also be the most expensive steakhouse in space, but the steaks are considered worth the price by the patrons who can afford them. In addition to Argentine beef, Cordoba sometimes serves more exotic meat (depending on availability), including Moose and Kangaro steaks. For those on a smaller budget a wide variety of nachos, tacos, and burritos is available. Opening hours are from 1100 to 1500 and 1800 to 0100, all days of the week. A few small tables are available on a balcony overlooking the main room for those wanting a somewhat secluded dining experience (reservations for those tables may not be required but are strongly suggested).<br/><br/>Cordoba is owned by Luiz Felipe Moreno daCosta, who makes it a point to not just prepare every steak personally, but also serve them himself. <br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Interor Image</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1b/Cordoba02.jpg)</div></div></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">For all post, please use the following post header:</span></strong><br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img padding=5].....[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b]Name:[/b] <br/>[b]Date:[/b] <br/>[b]Location:[/b] <br/>[b]With:[/b] <br/>[hr]</code></pre><br/><strong>Character images</strong>should be the usual avatar size (150x200).
