 +=== How Knave's Cove became Ocean Shore ===

In 9984 SF Knave's Cove was home to several bands of pirates who looted the various ships that traveled the Rhine's waters, Both the Natatorium and the Cove Marina date back to this time, most of everything else was nothing more than a slum, much like Prall.
  
 At the time, the favorite hangout of all the pirates was a small shack called the Four Fins. The pirates would come in after a long sea voyage to describe their plundering and pillaging. The Four Fins disappeared late one night though. The residents of Knave's Cove awoke to find a ten-story luxury hotel complete with a empty parking lot, a heated swimming pool, a fancy restaurant, a staff of fifty, and a security system that resisted all conventional attacks on the hotel. At the time, the favorite hangout of all the pirates was a small shack called the Four Fins.

 The town itself is quite calm. The pirates went into retirement, leaving their children and younger counterparts to run the shops. Most of the retired pirates enjoy games of Gahlf and visits to Midge's Pub and watch their investments in the town grow. The town itself is quite calm.

-===== The Character of Ocean Shore =====+===== The Culture of Ocean Shore =====
  
 Ocean Shore is a small town of only a few hundred people. It is a quiet. calm, and dull town in most respects. That is why people travel for hundreds of mets to get here: relaxation. There are no loud bars, no brothels, and no shiftless panhandlers. Ocean Shore is a small town of only a few hundred people. It is a quiet. calm, and dull town in most respects.

Line 123: Line 123:
 Until the destruction of the hotel, the decision was that no outsiders would be allowed to become staff members of the hotel. Now that most of the staff died in the attack by the mysterious reptile, the hotel has begun recruiting people to work in the hotel. Most of the positions were filled by family members of the now dead hotel staff, however ten positions needed to be filled. The outsiders are carefully screened by the upper management of the hotel and then only a select few were approved for training. A player character who joins the hotel becomes a permanent actor. No one ever leaves the hotel once they become part of the staff. Until the destruction of the hotel, the decision was that no outsiders would be allowed to become staff members of the hotel.

 +==== The Sunrise ====
 +Open from 5 AM - 6 PM. A open air bar constructed out of black marble with a sign made out of red, yellow, and orange gems that resemble the top half of a sun rising above a horizon line. When the sun hits the black marble the entire bar is filled with shimmering reds, oranges, and yellows that glisten on the marble. Sister bar to the Sunset. The Sunrise has three bright colored drinks in frosted glass bottles that are a signature of the bar((These details added by Lauren G. 2/6/2022)). They are... 
 +  * Pink: Strawberry Shiraz (1 GP per bottle) - A strong strawberry liqueur with sidenotes of faint vanilla and razberries.
 +  * Blue: Sky Blur (1 GP per bottle) - A deceptive drink that tastes like a spiked blue raspberry lemonade, this will require a 3D6 HEA check for anyone with less than 10 HEA to see how drunk they are.
 +  * Dark Purple: Dark Berry (3 GP per bottle) - A sweet blackberry liqueur that goes down easy and takes you down easier.
  
- +==== The Sunset ====

The Sunset has three neon glowing drinks in clear cracked-textured bottles that are a signature of the bar((These details added by Lauren G. 2/6/2022)). They are...
