The Void

Channel Description
A peaceful place, despite the sense of liminality. Remember to **!look** around, if you're feeling lost.

!Look Message
A large open space, pitch black aside from the many old-style street lights illuminating several paths, whose intersection is marked by street sign, standing tall next to a metal bench. At the end of each path is a well lit staircase leading underground. One shorter path from the sign leads to the Waffle House, on the back of which is a ladder leading to its roof. The total silence of this place makes you very aware of the sounds your own body makes as you walk around, and the overbright lamps strain your vision even as total darkness envelops you.

The Waffle House
As nondescript as its façade, the Waffle House has a very simplistic interior, going for a slightly modernized mid-century look. The warm lighting of the incandescent lightbulbs combines with the crispy fresh air coming from outside and the old timey music to give the place an extraordinarily comforting ambience. The entrance directly faces a short counter manned by old man Leopold, a pleasant guy in his 70s with a thick European accent who seems to run the entire joint. A few tables are laid by the windows, with a view that makes you wonder if you've gone blind.

Cool Shit To Know
Contrary to what the name suggests the Void is actually chock-full of useful that even some earthly districts fail to match. The Void holds the Waffle House, a restaurant where you may order food, as well as the Black Pond, the best pier in the game harboring some pretty quirky and expensive ghost fish. The Void also acts as the primary hangout spot for ghosts and staydeads alike.

deprecated: "The Void can never be shambled, meaning the Waffle House and Black Pond can be utilized regardless of how anal the shamblers are feeling;"

that is not to say that the Void is easily utilizable though. Ghosts may easily enter the Void via The Sewers while everyone else has to find one of 3 portals in a random district, which expires after 20-60 minutes. If you have the mutation you may also !loop to the void from the moon and vice-versa. Additionally, the Void may be enterable as part of an event in Mining, as well as (kuri)'s asshole being rumored to be a portal, tho no one has attempted that route so far. If you are already in the Void, it is easy to tell where the portals connect to using the !look command; so you could tell people where the portals are without them having to stumble upon them by chance. Ghosts will mainly be doing this to bring mortals to ghost fish with them at the Black Pond.
