☪ Map and locations
Paradise City is a collection of buildings scraped together by the residents themselves, brought to a form of order that is livable for now.
The city itself is surrounded by a hastily erected wall, which temporarily holds out the animals and other nasties wandering the radiation-soaked wastelands. Venturing outside is dangerous, but it is possible. However, once you set foot outside, you're on your own.
The bright green areas have a harmful radiation content and are to be avoided if at all possible. Your NOC has a warning meter which goes off if you venture too close, so keep it with you.
We've included a few images of the city itself, just to give you a "feel" for the place. Thanks to Lady Heather and her "city shifts", Paradise is on its way to restoration, but the journey will be long and perilous.
As new buildings are restored by the city staff, they will be assigned numbers and added to the listing. Each building will be given a general description (house or shop) and residents may apply for whatever suits their needs.

1 - Solamente Park - Open to everyone; there are little pathways inside the park, a carousel, a few old swingsets and playgrounds for children or "big kids". Due to the city's "restoration shift", a lovely fountain has appeared in the middle of the park, and a winding path leads to the bridge over the Paradise River.

9 - Enforcer Headquarters: Constable/police of Paradise City. Responsible for keeping the peace and dealing with any outbreaks of monsters/mutants inside or just outside of the walls. Citizens are allowed to apply for positions if they wish, pending acceptance of their resume.
10 - The Regent's Manor House. Do not approach, you will be shot on sight if you appear without invitation. No questions asked.
11 - Hydroponics Laboratory - Stationary structure of the city. Information
12 - Paradise City Hall: Unavailable to common citizenry.

14 - Holy Angel Chapel: Open to all, confession available for those with heavy hearts and needing repentance.
15 - Water Treatment Plant - Stationary structure of the city. Information
16 - Mystic Emporium: Lady Heather's shop of mystery and a little bit of mayhem. Where did she come from? Well, no one knows.

Carries all sorts of enchanted items, materia, magicks and other mystical paraphernalia.

A shrewd haggler, under close watch by the Enforcement Division, he's rumored to be a front runner for the black market of Paradise, but as his shop is the largest in the city, residents are more less obliged to bring him business.

Staff:
• eveningladies - Bouncer
• lightasabreeze - Bar staff/Waitress
25 - Hydroponics Hamlet: Sells food from the hydroponic labs. Steep prices, as residents are given a ration of food every month. But they do have fresh vegetables, seeds for growing, and meat from the threaded stock slaughtered in the stockyards.
Staff:

• embracedempathy
26 - Empty Building (shop only)
27 - Georgie's Critter Cave: Every month or so, Georgie advertises those animals he's managed to bring in from the wastes (as babies, of course) or obtain from the stockyards and posts them for purchase. What's available changes regularly, and residents have to apply for whatever animal they wish to buy. Also, purchasers must have been in the city for six weeks before they are eligible for animal ownership. And there are no refunds or restitution if your new pet does not work out. Caveat emptor!
28 - Rejse Camp -- Stationary part of the city. Welcome to Strangeville, folks. Really. Information
The world beyond the walls... Believe us, you don't want to go out there.
☪ Obtaining lodgings
Residents are welcome to request quarters in any of the three community buildings, but in order to occupy an empty house, residents will have to apply and have residency in the city at least four weeks, and the city code group has to ensure the property is radiation free and safe for occupancy.
Furnishings in the apartments and houses are whatever you manage to either find or buy in the city. Houses and apartments are furnished with the basics. But any large "luxury" items, such desks or couches are rarer to find, but not impossible to come by.
If you wish to move in to a residence that is already occupied by another character, make sure you receive permission beforehand.

☪ Mercantile and business
About once a month, the shopkeepers will post what they have for sale and residents are welcome to haggle for items. Just be aware that nothing is free here in Paradise and there are generally no returns or refunds.
Want to start your own business? It's doable! Just fill out the following application and the city code group will evaluate it and make sure your requested building is available and safe for use. It will be your responsibility, however, to advertise your wares or services.
The same goes if you'd like to seek employment at one of the existing businesses or government agencies. Every so often, one of the shopkeepers might advertise for help at their store. But no need to wait until then; pro-activeness is always looked for in good applicants.
