Justice Tower

**Justice Tower** also known at one point during its construction as *Twitch Tower* is a massive housing complex, large enough to be described by some as "a town compressed into a tower." The Justice Tower Massacre that occurred in the vicinity was the event that kickstarted the Peninsula War and the RUC's invasion of the Peninsula, and it served as the main headquarters for the RUC during this invasion until they were defeated. Nowadays it has undergone new management, and many of those who fought against the RUC reside in here.

Despite the name it is not a superhero hideout or anything. Lots of people make that mistake.

## History

### Construction

Justice Tower was vanity construction project of sorts by a (rich baron or something) named (?). Justice. Construction began in x/xx/xx, and was completed after many years, over the course of which many workers died from preventable accidents during its construction. For much of its early years, (?). Justice served as the head management of the tower, and began hiring many people from across the Republic to work and even live in the tower, enticing them with the offer of free rent should they be employed. (Though, special treatment was given to Justice's rich circle of friends).

### Peninsula War

The tower came under the control of the RUC after they carried out the Justice Tower Massacre (which despite the name, most of the killings actually took place in the vicinity of the tower, rather than inside, though not to say that the inside didn't see its own fair share of bloodshed.) The management at the time applauded the RUC for their efforts, and invited them inside, only for the RUC to indiscriminately slaughter them all instead. The RUC then used Justice Tower as their main base of operations for their path of conquest throughout the Peninsula.

## Rooms

[Various rooms. Bedrooms, cafeteria, other rooms]

As a housing complex, the vast majority of the tower's rooms consist of apartments for its tenants. Besides this, there are various stalls and other locations where diners and various other facilities can be set up, and these are often present on every (numeral)th floor of the tower. The first floor of the tower consists almost entirely of these other facilities.

### Apartments in General

After the change in management, every room is at least supplied with basic standard-issue furnishings.

### Notable Places

#### Papa Swan's Diner

Located on floor ??, originally called Papa Swan's Pizzarium, it became Papa Swan's Diner after the decision to expand his menu. As the name suggests, the place is run by Papa Swan, a refugee who was on the run from the RUC during the Peninsula War and found himself under the protection of Hugo's forces. Famed for his pizzas, for most of its early days when it first opened up in Justice Tower, the place only served pizzas. As a result, many people residing on the floors closest to the diner had to deal with the fact that they would have only pizza to eat. Eventually, following the advice of A.B. and Fredericka, he expanded his menu, thus this is no longer an issue.

#### Loading Dock

Located on the ground floor, this is effectively where the tower receives its shipments of supplies and equipment. Nothing much more to say on this front.

## Maintenance and Management

### Present Day

After driving the RUC out of the Peninsula, the new management was hard-pressed to repair the tower and restore its functions. First things first, the new residents elected Hugo as Director of operations. The path would not be easy, as many of the residents, new and old, had to work overtime just to get the basics functioning again. Removing all of the posters took an entire month. In addition to this, if they wanted to restore the tower's original purpose of providing housing to tenants, as well as a source of income for the people working here now, they would have to re-register its status as a legitimate business with the Republic's government. For a while many of them actually worked without wages, mostly seeing their efforts as a form of home-renovation, rather than a proper job.

Thanks to the new management's maneuvering, they were able to complete the registration process while also avoiding the topic that they, and many of its residents were effectively armed militants fighting against a Republic-backed paramilitary. They even managed to successfully apply for a grant, allowing them to pay the residents and help with the tower's upkeep, but this grant can only take them so far.

Now, most of Justice Tower's basic functions are back in working order, though there are still some frequent maintenance issues that continue to crop up. Such as [examples]. Due to the new management's focus on having the tower serve as a way a for the residents to make a living, rather than profit for its own sake, wages are pretty tight, and income is low. Realizing this, having the tower also provide a temporary vacation home or lodging for paying outsiders would be necessary to keep it running. Ad campaigns included but are not limited to: posters inviting people to visit the Peninsula "Admire the wildlife from afar, like, really far. Please do not get close to them they will try to kill you."

Strangely enough however, visitors from the Republic mainland are very rare, as if they're avoiding the place or the Peninsula entirely. People moving to and from (mostly from) the Peninsula often stop by the Tower, and recently some adventurer parties have also become a common sight, but non-staff residency is still somewhat lacking.

For the most part however, life is fairly stable.

### Jobs

[basic: There are various jobs that need to be performed for the maintenance of the tower]

#### Maintenance Team

[basic: they are responsible for ensuring the pipelines and electronics and other stuff work properly.]

#### Supplier Team

[basic: they are responsible for receiving shipments and allocating them throughout the tower]

#### Salvager Team

[basic: most prominent in the early stages of restoration, but thin out as restoration is completed. They clean up debris and salvage whatever parts can still be repurposed. Will be dispersed into the other teams as the debris is cleaned out more]

## Post War

(WIP. Just making the Basis.)

After the war, many of the survivors and veterans of it would eventually choose to move into the Tower, picking rooms close to each other for easy access to hang out with each other. Some of the resistance members who moved in here would either move out due to pursuing a new line of work, marriage, travel, or family.
