“Come on over, don't delay! Are you hungry for food, thirsty for drink, for gaming, for gambling, for singing, for swimming? Do you just need a place to wind down then go to sleep? Then come on over to The Dreaming Cloud where the cloud is your ground and the dream is your sky!”
The Dreaming Cloud is a recreational center located in Coruscant. It boasts itself upon housing various establishments catering to daily and nightly needs, from restaurant to hotel, as well as its flexible pricing structure that coincides with its sublime architecture and immaculate maintenance.
Located in the upper levels of the Uscru District, the facility does not appeal to high- or low-level elements outright, but is otherwise open to any and all. This level of unbiased welcome appeals to the masses worldwide throughout the ecumonopolis; where the poorer elements might not often visit here, they have the opportunity to with simpler meals and basic lodging.
Meanwhile, the middle- to upper-class elements of society find prime time to dine and much and more.
Be it upscale food and drink, including a VIP lounge, betting between the casino and sports lounge, enjoying the open air of the main restaurant's balcony or the rooftop and its swimming pool, or even a break for gaming in the arcade or watching a movie in the cinema, The Dreaming Cloud is thusly named unto itself: A cloud where people of all types can go to dream.
'Sub Hubs'
Within the primary roleplay hub setting that is The Dreaming Cloud, various sub-settings exist to both offer roleplayers unique opportunities to cater to their characters and stories as well as to help separate threads within the overall hub.
It is highly encouraged to create threads unique to each 'sub-setting' or, if the occasion calls for using a single thread where various such sub-setting exist, to at least use an in-post tag that displays which sub-setting your post is in.
Ultimately, this is to help keep posts in order, especially if the thread is large with a number of participants. While you don't need to wear a uniform in The Dreaming Cloud, keeping your posts in uniform is a definite plus!
Main Restaurant
The main restaurant area of The Dreaming Cloud is among the most spacious areas of the overall facility. With tables and booths aplenty, the only reason to reserve a table is if you have really specific time and area in mind, such as facing the window, or a number of guests that caters to an exceptionally long table. Otherwise, there is room for you upon walking in, and the menu is both big and bold!
Main Bar
Adjoined openly with the main restaurant, the main bar is a four-counter establishment with bartenders aplenty. The bar serves just about any and every alcoholic or non-alcoholic your throat could conjure. If you can't find a stool then just wait until one opens up, or take your drink to a table and grab a bite!
Main Lounge
The main lounge is openly adjoined with the main restaurant and main bar, albeit at a healthy distance, and is generally reserved for those patrons who are winding down from food and/or drink, looking for a more leisurely experience, but who may just as much bypass the former to come here and maybe unwind with a good book.
Main Balcony
The main balcony is just a door away from the main restaurant. It is an area in the open air of Coruscant, with a perfect day and night view of the skyline, and with its own bar to boot. Enjoy the fireworks of a romantic night!
Rooftop
Like the main balcony, the rooftop has a clear view of the city of Coruscant, even more broadly, and boasts its own bar and restaurant setup. More uniquely, it features an outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi. When it gets hot, enjoy a cold dip. When it gets cold, sink into the hot tub!
Dance Hall
Some come to The Dreaming Cloud for some simple rest and relaxation, others for that and to dance, and whether you've had your fill of food or drink the dance hall is the place to come to! Featuring music blaring over speakers and live music both, you are sure to enjoy yourself on the dance floor or watching those on it while you partake in the open bar!
Hotel
Sometimes you just need a place to stay. It's not uncommon for the average spacer to reach Coruscant and nestle in the closest nest which just so happens to be The Dreaming Cloud. Others stay in this hotel because of ongoing adventures in the casino or otherwise but, rest assured, affordable pricing will find you a room!
Casino
An onboard casino is just what you need to gamble your woes away and make that much more money on top of 'em! Come to the casino where you can play slots or solitaire, poker or blackjack, pazaak or sabaac, and walk away a winner no matter what!
Arcade
Not much of a gambler? No matter! Hang out in the arcade with just yourself or your family, especially your kids, and you're bound to find a fun time by spending those credits for tokens without having to worry about who owns 'em!
Sports Lounge
In this world we call the galaxy, we have managed to marry the casino with the arcade with the bar, and there comes your sports lounge! Watch your favorite wrestling and boxing matches, your pod-racing and huttball tournaments, share drinks with your friends and make bets on which team wins!
Cinema
Sometimes so much excitement proves to be too much and the best you can do is go to sleep for the night or call it a night by watching a movie. But why watch a movie in your hotel room when you can do so on the big screen? A dedicated theater caters to the latest movie releases so don't miss 'em!
VIP Lounge
We get it, you saw 'affordable pricing' and 'caters to all' and thought that this is no place for a CEO or a Senator so backed out. But, rest assured, The Dreaming Cloud has plenty of space for you corporates and you politicians so come on down to the VIP lounge where you can isolate your executive selves!
Observation Room
No matter who you are, rich or poor, ISC or FWA, Jedi or Sith, sometimes the best thing to do isn't to drink the day away at a bar or sleep the night away in a hotel but to watch the sky unfold from day to night. Do it all in the observation room, where the chamber rotates every single degree to give you a full view of the daylight sky and the stars of night, and bonus points if you kiss your significant other in the meantime!
Intent
To create a social hub for roleplay. Expanding on that, it is highly encouraged, but not required, to specify which 'sub-setting' you are roleplaying in within The Dreaming Cloud per thread. This is especially encouraged for threads where PC participation is high, such as social gatherings, in order to help differentiate between the areas.
You can take it a step further by isolating threads to a given sub-setting, even if all occur relatively at the same time in The Dreaming Cloud, such as a thread for the Casino and another for the Main Restaurant.
What does all this nonsense mean? Just so: Encouragement to roleplay in this setting that, really, I do not own but that you, the player, owns upon playing in it. Do with it as you will, have fun, join the club, and may the force be with you, whether the Force or the force of literary power as you plow through muse and writer's block and craft stories worth fighting for in this ocean we call our own.
