| {{:gm:setting:restaurant.jpg?200 |}}Once, this sit-in restaurant would have served fancy dishes in evenings for fine dining participants, looking for a taste of the high-life within a theme park. Its outside condition is impeccable, seemingly reinforced at some point and keeping it standing. | {{:setting:restaurant.jpg?200 |}}Once, this sit-in restaurant would have served fancy dishes in evenings for fine dining participants, looking for a taste of the high-life within a theme park.

| The building is now mostly empty, save for a large mechanical tube running through it. This **Umbilical** outputs useful supplies for living in the Fourth Place, like spare parts, clean water, plant food, meats, and other resources. From here it splits off to reach all the other buildings. Just inside the restaurant's kitchen it has been severed, the vast tube somehow torn in two. | The building is now mostly empty, save for a large mechanical tube running through it.

| {{ :gm:setting:umbilical.jpg?200|}}A vast tube wrapped in matte plastic, that delivers resources to the hotel from deeper in the Fourth Place. It emerges from a maintenance tunnel, deep underground, runs out through the **restaurant**, then splits to deliver power, food and water to different buildings. | {{ :setting:umbilical.jpg?200|}}A vast tube wrapped in matte plastic, that delivers resources to the hotel from deeper in the Fourth Place.

| It also connects to a deposit that accepts both scrap and biomass, which it draws away to be recycled. Presumably these inputs are needed to keep the whole system running, given how enthusiastically the deposit is advertised. | It also connects to a deposit that accepts both scrap and biomass, which it draws away to be recycled.

| ==== Plaza ==== | ==== Plaza ==== |

| {{:gm:setting:plaza.jpg?200 |}}Just past the gates is a large, open plaza. It’s filled with tents, stalls, and miscellaneous small rides to spend time on. Most of these have completely collapsed due to the lack of permanent infrastructure around them, but some skeletons remain. If anything, it resembles a large pile of rubble in the centre-front of the Fourth Place. | {{:setting:plaza.jpg?200 |}}Just past the gates is a large, open plaza.

| Aside from in the hotel, some decide to hoard their resources here, and it has become the immediate welcoming area for any new visitors to the Fourth Place. Many believe there are still things waiting to be found beneath the rubble. | Aside from in the hotel, some decide to hoard their resources here, and it has become the immediate welcoming area for any new visitors to the Fourth Place.

| {{ :gm:setting:theatre.jpg?200|}}The theatre was once the crown jewel of the Fourth Place, and seemingly from where the theme park expanded from. Palace-looking and located directly in the centre of the park, it visually clashes with the rest of the park. Its vintage feeling reflects its indoors as well, with red velvet carpet and neoclassical architecture. A shame almost all of its doors are locked except to the main stage. | {{ :setting:theatre.jpg?200|}}The theatre was once the crown jewel of the Fourth Place, and seemingly from where the theme park expanded from.

| {{:gm:setting:aquarium.jpg?200 |}}This old aquarium is currently flooded, and more akin to a swamp than any fresh or seawater tank. It's a home for some aquatic inhabitants of the Fourth Place, or at least a feeding ground for any basic mosses and algae in the area. If water supplies ever get dire, then this place is always an option, to the dismay of its dwellers. | {{:setting:aquarium.jpg?200 |}}This old aquarium is currently flooded, and more akin to a swamp than any fresh or seawater tank.

| Most of the inhabitants tend to stay near the surface of these waters, letting them run down the various large streams of the Fourth Place, but who knows what could be hiding within the depths. | Most of the inhabitants tend to stay near the surface of these waters, letting them run down the various large streams of the Fourth Place, but who knows what could be hiding within the depths. |
