House

House #6 is a house in The Village and is a perfect replica of the character's original home. The house is actually quite small, as it is a recreation of a mid-sized apartment in a house-like form. There is a maid who routinely cleans the house. You can speak with her, and she will be very interested if you are able to offer her something new or interesting. She'll even make tea in exchange. If you interrogate her concerning her past however, she immediately becomes vehemently defensive.

## Layout

The house is a perfect replica of the character's original house, down to the minute details. It has a cozy feeling, with pale green walls and a study-room decorations. There is a small table in the living room, as well as a library shelf. All furniture can be moved around as desired. Most decorations are old-fashioned, often related to history or anthropology. There is a small antiquate globe at the coffee desk, and also a bedroom and small kitchen. There is a maid who lives in the house, and will occasionally greet you, though she rarely speaks. She sometimes asks for extra cleaning, or complains about the quality of the food, but otherwise seems to just mind her own business.

There is an expertly placed secret camera in the eyes of one of the figurines, which can be observed with an awareness check of **15**, and dismantled with a technology of **197**, or the figurine can be simply destroyed.

### Secret Flat

The wall will lift to reveal a hidden compartment flat, apparently meant for the maid. Though it seems to be an accidental fluke, it is an entirely deliberate mind-game and is meant to sow suspicion in the character. The flat is complete with small but modern rooms - living, bedroom and kitchen. There are several lava lamps, and the cupboards are stocked with '*The Village canned goods*'. The walls are adorned with posters relating to various scientific concepts, such as fractals, and other oddities.

After spending some time inside the house, the maid may call out to you if your disposition is high enough, asking you to come see the back room. If this disposition is not quickly reached, or is too low, the room will reveal itself.

### Balcony

The house has a balcony overlooking the town, it has a small marble statue on its stone railing and a blue and white striped umbrella table in its center.

## Advantages and Disadvantages

House #6 is the first home that the character will acquire on their quest, and is also the most easily accessible and safe of any home. This house is also the least likely to contain anything of interest for the player; there is no technology to be found inside, nor any other items. It is unable to be *robbed,* and undergoes free cleaning and maintenance. However, it can only seldomly be renovated, and decorations are limited to items gained from journeys.
