===== Dome Quarter =====

==== Community Hall ====

{{community_hall.jpeg?300 |}}

The community hall is a large, neutral space that is transformed by the people within it. The hall is the venue of choice for events and celebrations in the block, as well as for regular meetings of the more popular societies. Every person living in Block 2845 knows this place well, as it is the location of Psychopomp's biweekly checkups on citizens' progress towards ascension.

Not every society is popular enough to warrant use of the sizeable community hall for its meetings. For smaller gatherings, the more modest meeting rooms provide the perfect solution. These adaptable locations provide a place for societies to gather more members and progress to the community hall, or simply remain small and intimate. Block 2845's therapists sometimes use these spaces to hold group sessions where citizens are invited to share their problems with each other and find solutions together.

==== The Dome ====
{{dome1.png?150 |}}

Arches, pillars and sullen curves of white marble give the Dome a markedly Renaissance look, Michelangelo-esque paintings stretching over the walls. The ceilings however, are crowded with constellations. A retrofitted planetarium, the Dome functions as a place for individuals to reflect, or pray, or spend a moment in private solace. At intervals, the Dome hosts lectures and discussions on rehabilitation, Dante can be found here, maybe preaching on the tenets of ascension, maybe in fervent conversation with a visitor, maybe sat in quiet. The Dome is accessible by marble stairs from street level, carved doors always open, urging people in, yet, interestingly, is one of the only buildings in Block 2845 to have nothing above it. Apt, I suppose, for a planetarium to have a direct passage to the stars, you only have to look up.




==== Jenny Waters’ Office ====

{{counselling_office.jpeg? 200 |}}

The assortment of therapists and counsellors in the Threshold all have different personalities and specialities, so it's no surprise that their offices reflect that diversity. Some are clean and clinical, others are warm and welcoming, but all are havens for people who seek support and advice. Citizens are welcome to book appointments with their therapist of choice who will help them through the day-to-day stresses of living in Block 2845 and guide them towards ascension.

Jenny Waters’ office is a cosy space, lit by the soft glow of candles which perfume the air with the scent of flowers. Strewn around the somewhat-messy room are beanbags, cushions and blankets which provide the perfect place to relax and unwind.


==== The Nest ====

{{nest.jpg?250 |}}

Intricate tapestries, canvases, haphazard sketches and drying paint cover every surface of the Nest, Canary’s art studio, nestled in a corner of Block 2845, a good few storeys up, yet easily accessible by ladder or plank (although you will have to come in through the window, Canary pasted over the door a while back). Gaudy, artisan wallpaper that echoes the Victorian Arts and Crafts Movement just about peeks out from behind the half finished projects strewn across the room. With every medium a person could need, the Nest is the perfect place to go if you want to get creative.
