## Notes

10/13/2019 - Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - There is a patient in the White Dove currently. He is a DORA (not linked to us, in a I know him from somewhere feeling) who appeared in Burlington and could not handle the situation. He repeatedly attacked Doc, Mildred & myself. After determining that he was crazy, surgery was performed to calm him down. We are expecting/hoping the DORA healing abilities will bring him around. We hired a nurse to take care of him as while he is healing faster than a background person, he is not quite there yet. Please check on him and if he becomes conscious and lucid, gently talk to him and see if anything useful can be learned.
On another note, a Mr Jacks (dressed in adventuring gear with a sword and crysgun at his side) turned up at the White Dove and offered to sell us a very rare magic item for 100g. We did not have the money at the time and told him to come back in a couple of days. See if you can get the money together and purchase the item. He may be able to be negotiated down in price by those skilled in haggling. We did not attempt it. Also we had not seen the device so we unable to verify his claims before parting with the money (please try and verify).

(as an aside there was a gentleman in a pink tuxedo watching from the other side of the street when Mr Jacks was at the door. Do not know if he was an ally of Mr Jacks or unrelated and interested in us)

Do not sell nor let Alex sell the flying car to get funds.

The White Dove is going to need an injection of funds to keep paying the staff shortly, so this is something else that needs doing.

10/14/2018 - Joshua MacKay - Did the patient wake up? Did you buy the magic do dad?

10/14/2018 - Aeolous - The car is not missing. We found it after a guard crashed it into a building, after which I flew it and landed it (barely) just outside the city (I did not feel confident in landing it anywhere in the city what with all the building and people everywhere). We then had it toed back to The White Dove and is currently being guarded until someone can get it back into the garage (which is partially destroyed now). In our pursuit of the Pink Tuxedo Man, one of the guards mistook our order of "help" as getting into the car and flying it out, crashing it into the garage on the way. Not entirely sure what the guard was thinking but he may need to see a psychiatrist or something to see if he isn't clinically stupid.

10/15/2018- Aeolous to Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - No and I don't know. We never checked on him. For my record keeping and because I'm slightly confused, what is the realm in which The White Dove is situated called?

1/30/2019 - Aeolous - The White Dove - I guess this was going to come out sooner or later… Might as well explain. I was in The White Dove doing some research in the library while Doc was out selling some things to try and keep everything up and running. After several hours of research and no results, I came out and decided to make myself something to eat as I was rather hungry and the Butler had gone out with Doc to help him…
I, uh… Look I'm used to using modern stoves. Something went wrong with it and well everything kind of caught on fire and despite my best efforts to put it out, I was not able to. So it just has one level right now… Everything else kind of collapsed/burnt down.
I did manage to save the painting of the library at least. That's still there. Not sure if it's been hung up yet. Doc decided it would be best to sell the flying car to try and raise some more capital – not sure how that's going. The Butler said he would take care of it. The car needed a new battery anyway and so it wasn't functional.
So, uh… I sincerely apologise for my massive fuck up. I know a lot of hard work went into that place. I'll do my best to try and fix it in whatever way I can. Do let me know if there's something you would like me to do.

3/2/2019 - Joshua - The White Dove - 4 months have passed & two crys batteries for flying car needed purchasing.
52,848.64s now in the bank. 116 weeks left.

If we wish to purchase the White Dove in it's current condition, it would cost 175,000s. Once we owned it we would be up for rates/tax of 4000s a year.

Once we did that we could upgraded it to level 4 condtion which would add various crafting stations that would give 5% bonus to the associated crafting skill and the areas around the crafting station (eg the smithy) would be fire proofed.

Upgrading the White Dove to level 5 condition would have it converted to a stone building, further Aeolous proofing the place and giving a very good PC base of operations in a full magic zone.

3/8/2019 - Glenn James - The White Dove - The staff were rounded up by the gestapo. There is a notice on the front of the building saying no entry. (Be sneaky). I assume the place has been raided by now, so anything stored there (besides the library painting, which we were able to get out) is probably gone.

3/24/2019 - Raslen Rad - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - Go visit Mr. Hunt in Gothic to discuss the White Dove.

3/24/2019 - Raslen Rad - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - Plus, the White Dove is torn apart and the basement was turned into a torture chamber and the butler was killed.

3/24/2019 - Raslen Rad - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - The Gestapo did it. But now there's a new military junta taking place. Some blokes with a 'V' on their flag.  Anyway, they're all enthusiastic and throw some nice rallies, and they've managed to kill and run off the Gestapo fucks.  Yeah, the Gestapo tore the place apart, but left behind a couple flying magitek cars in the garage that are probably worth 10k apiece.
Also - Mr. Hunt is probably insured, so dont let him try to get you to pay for the repairs.

3/24/2019 - Raslen Rad - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - Mr. Mike Hunt. Located at \*address\*.He's the landlord of White Dove and assures me his arrangement with you and Doc Fulton still stands, currently.
Don't know anything about a Shadow Council or Liches yet, mate. But if you need access to the Shadow Council, I can get you access to the Shadow Council.

3/24/2019 - Joshua MacKay - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - Wanted to confirm if it was the same individual. Mike Hunt took over his father's position on the Shadow Council. Is he still a member, has his position in the Shadow Council changed? Note that I'm unaware of any dealings Doc Fulton has had with Mike Hunt as it was Alex and Mildred that were with me when we assisted him with his sister.

3/24/2019 - Raslen Rad - Attn: Doc Fulton or Joshua Mackay - Once I located who the owner of the White Dove property was, Mike Hunt, my dealings with him were through one of his men. They(Logan) seemed a little confused on who they made arrangements with, so honestly, it could have been any of the DORAs.
So couldn't tell you the status of his memberships in various clubs or other extra-curricular activities yet, other than: I heard through a rather knowledgeable property broker, that helped me secure another space in Gothic, that Mr. Hunt struck a deal with the current Military Junta leadership to stay alive and all.

3/29/2019 - Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - Our bank funds have been unfrozen. Also I have made an agreement with Mike Hunt to purchase the White Dove for 100,000s

3/30/2019 - Joshua MacKay - The White Dove - Doc Yang came up with the idea, which I think is worth investigating, turning it into an Officers Club (with maybe some rooms to rent short term/long term). We can modify the building so that our private area is separate from the club which will prevent people accidentally wandering in (OOC: If anyone wants to do a map of the new layout, be it a bubble map or floorplan, Logan will be happy).
I've authorised Foxy at the Embassy to release 1100g of my personal funds to yourself Raslen & Freddy to finalise the purchase, paperwork etc. We took 400g over as a down payment, so 1028g is remaining to be paid. The additional funds are to assist with getting the ball rolling and whatever else needs doing in relation to the White Dove & Gothic. The receipt for the 400g is at the embassy.

I've had mention to me that there are several vehicles there. There may be other items stored at the location, so part of the contract of sale should include everything located on the land I'm thinking. An audit after this may be worth doing to see if there was anything left behind we wish to put somewhere out of the eyes of builders etc. The fact there were vehicles left behind makes me think they left in a hurry and there may be other things of interest to us, eg weapons, paper work etc.

I understand the the butler was tortured to death by the occupiers so it may be worth looking into what happened to the other staff and looking into if the current government has setup a compensation scheme for those people and families that suffered/were tortured etc under the previous regime. If George who was the caretaker/foreman is still around and willing to work for us again, he would be worth employing as he was a top of the line foreman.

In regards to upgrading the White Dove, it can be done in stages or "levels" with each stage/level costing 10,000s and improving condition of the White Dove. Level 5 would make it a stone building with high quality crafting stations, fire proofed area etc (this may have changed due to the current situation. An inspection should enlighten you).

In regards to getting access to the funds in the bank, you will need some new ID. Talk to Hunt's people about helping you arrange this if you don't have one already. And what may be involved in others of our group getting new ID. Some of us have the old ID, some have no ID.

3/31/2019 - Raslen Rad - The White Dove - fixtures, equipment, and other assets on the land, and under... anyone feel like digging for gold or building an underground lair, now's the time to plan for it.

We sold the cars, except for 1 of the flying cars so Freddy could take us for a spin. Since the Crys batteries were active and draining daily and the place is about to become a construction zone, didn't make sense to keep em. The remaining flying car ol Freddy flew like a real champ! But that's a whole other story...

Hired a construction contractor, \*name, address\*. Securing holes in the walls and installing new doors, so we finalize our plans for remodeling. The place is real shit house currently. For 750 gold, we can do a "lvl 5" conversion. It will basically be a rip down and rebuild. A fair dinkum stone fortress that's finished very upscale, suitable for a high end club. That price doesn't include the basement or any unusual modifications we'd likely want to make. And I promised Mildred that the basement and all it's toys are hers currently, until we build her a suitable "play room".

Biggest downside: There's no parking at all, but downtown places like this usually provide valet service, plus some of the clientele we're aiming to attract usually just have their drivers drop them off for a bit. Something we'll just have to factor in to see if it makes sense.

We should also consider changing the name. Since a lot of people associate the place with the prior administration, it's a target for fuckery. A mob of angry blokes were there with torches about to burn it down right after the closing. After a little chat, they decided to piss off. But they may be back, those little fucks... I don't know if there is historical significance in the name or not, but changing the name is an opportunity to build goodwill. Just a thought.

Other things -
Joshua, I had sweet Foxy put a little over 200 gold back in your safe. I'd like to get that sheila to purr, mate - you know if she likes catnip?

Also, I've got the paperwork n all on me currently. I'll just have Foxy put that in the safe too next time I'm at the Embassy.
Didn't look into the compensation scheme or George yet.
Chime in if I'm forgettin something, Freddy.
