Setting

setting; UNDERGROUND STATION
Numerous tracks pass through this underground station, connected by simple walkways, stairs, and escalators, all enclosed with no view of the outside. Looking down the train tunnels reveals that the tracks fade into pure white, and attempting to physically travel down one of these tunnels will result in the passenger looping back and appearing at the other end of the tunnel.

While it's very easy to get lost down in the station, there will always be signs leading to the single set of stairs that connect to the Main Station Entrance and the Somewhere Station Hotel past it. Be careful of the stray roaming mini dinosaur down here though! While they've been shrunk down (brachiosaurs are horse-sized, T-rexes are human sized, raptors are dog-sized, pterodactyls are bat-sized), they've retained the same hunting and roaming habits their full-sized versions have.
MAIN STATION ENTRANCE
At the top of the stairs, just before entering into the hotel is the Main Station Entrance. This is a large open area with high ceilings and numerous signs line the upper walls, displaying train arrival/departure information.

In the main station is also where you can find a single Help Desk on one edge. Here is where you can find the Station Myaster, at least when it's time for their shift.
SOMEWHERE STATION HOTEL
Upon exiting the station, characters will immediately find themselves inside the lobby of the Somewhere Station Hotel. Here, free rooms are provided for all passengers on a first come, first served basis. A passenger need only to tap their ticket case against a room door and that room will be registered to the passenger for the remainder of their time within the station.

In the lobby of the hotel, an interactable screen shows which rooms on which floors are currently occupied. The screen does not show information on the passenger registered to each room, but simply whether a room on a floor is occupied or not. Information on selecting a room can be found in the ticket case capabilities section of the Character Arrival page.

Rooms inside the hotel are all identical, with 10 rooms per floor. Each room has a queen-sized bed, desk and chair, along with a separate bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower/bath combo, and a kitchenette station that includes a sink, stovetop, small fridge, microwave, and cabinet for storage. All rooms are decorated in belle epoque fashion, but once registered to a passenger, can be redecorated as the passenger sees fit. Otherwise, no matter what has happened in/to a room, it will restore itself into its original condition once a day.
MALL
In the hotel lobby, opposite to the station entrance/exit, the entrance to the station mall can be found.

The mall has a total of 1 active floor and 143 offline floors, with details of all active stores on the mall stores page. All inactive floors have their lights off and storefronts solidly shuttered; attempting to break into any of these stores will reveal a large, empty room. The broken-in storefronts will reshutter themselves over the course of a day.
OUTSIDE
There are numerous doors and windows showing the outside of the station, but all there is to be found out there is endless white space. Passengers are free to leave the station and explore outside, but there is nothing to be found for miles upon miles upon miles...
