SLURL: AES/SHELTER ((TEMP))
TYPE: Soup Kitchen

OVERVIEW: I want this business to be a sort of alternative to the shelter, however working closely with it. Ben is offering the hospital as a temporary basis until more something more permanent is arranged, but I still want to work with shelter even if this business was approved and moved. My character is generally very caring and is no stranger to helping people out. It won't be strictly the same as the shelter as it'll be more of a soup kitchen of sorts. Plus, what if the shelter needs a little help sometimes! I know the topic of giving out free food will come up, but on occasion I would like to arrange it so we go out and catch our own food as well as offering food for a lower price to those that may be staying within the shelter or potentially seeking a place to reside with Anna. I don't want lower prices to have people ditching Dom's place as well as Kim's since that is not the intent. Perhaps in this sense I could acquire a list or something of the sort from Ben to see who is staying within the shelter if he did something like that along with having a list of people seeking Anna for shelter. I know this might be a little hard to keep track of people but it may also require a bit more role play between people! Also, with that being said I'd like to incorporate a lot of trading with this business. It'll pretty much be the basis of it like many should and are. I will be frequenting the ATC a lot and most likely S-mart for things other than just food. My character is also very social so she would be no stranger to get out and talk to people. Perhaps she could hand out flyers for businesses to post or to even socialize with them herself to let the know of her services in case the AES is not an option for certain people. I hope to do a bit of exchanging of goods rather than money though. That always tends to be a bit more fun rather than just have it money based even though it is how you buy most things. Of course rarer commodities might be exchanged for money. I also wouldn't mind role playing things without the hud as well since it is a place that will be helping people secondary. It will need a lot things than just food and whatnot.

EXPERIENCE:I've run a business before in Dead End, however Outbreak is a bit different and so is the business. My character is ICly very caring and it would be her way of helping those in Arklay that needed it. I just think it would offer another option instead of just the shelter regardless of working close with the shelter. The idea of more options I feel helps also if somehow there tends to be IC conflict somewhere and if the shelter eventually got too full/needed help.
