Since we're all citizens of the great city of Union, we all presumably have houses. Since all of the buildings are enormous towers, these houses can range from anything to multi-story buildings that take up several floors of an entire tower to modest studio apartments that are just a small chunk of a single floor on a tower. So! What does your character's house look like? Do they share with friends or family? I wanna know!

The Moreno "Estate" (Imogen's father started calling it that as a joke when she was young) is a rather impressive three floors near the top of one of the older towers. The home is sized for a full serving staff, but has been functioning on a reduced staff since Imogen's father grew 'ill.'

Louis spends most of his time on the third level, where his study was located. His fluctuating mental state means only the closest friends and family visit him, and the members of the staff loyal to him. Imogen's 'storeroom/office' is kept on that floor as well, as Natalie never wants to see her discoveries from the Old City, and Imogen loves being near her father, even if he is sometimes... painful, to be near. Her office is generally cluttered and haphazard, the rhyme and reason of it known only to Imogen herself. She rarely has other delvers there, but if she finds something a Historian might want to give a look over, it will be here. This space used to be the home office back when the residence was first made, so most of this space used to be conference rooms and offices.

The second floor has a more proper collection of bedrooms, a full bath, and a modest sauna. The family in the past was much larger, and often housed closer in-laws in the past, so it's rather large for the current brood. Imogen's childhood room (closest to the stairs) was modified as a nursery for her expected half-siblings, and her room was moved further away as punishment for Imogen bringing home... strays (both Pokemon and people). Imogen keeps a room next to the family's library, which is still filled with older tomes from two generations of teaching. Most of the books are rather expensive, and part of the 'acclaim' the family holds now. One of the guest rooms is technically for Natalie's 'consort' but he spends most nights, unsurprisingly, in the master bedroom. Two other guest rooms are held by staff, who keep house and care for Louis while Imogen is away.

The main floor consists of a lavish ballroom, kitchen, dining room, and greenhouse area. Moreno, in the past, were connected to the construction of this tower, so the greenhouse is two stories in some places and the wall is modified for that purpose. A gift to the wife when the apartment was first constructed. This was before Imogen's family moved to academia, culminating in her father. In spite of the lower staff count, all public areas of the house are well maintained.

Family and Staff:
Louis Moreno - Imogen's father.
Natalie Moreno (Granger) - Imogen's mother.
Fabian - Natalie's consort. He's a chef of decent enough position that he could accompany Natalie to social events in place of Louis without raising an eye.
Butler and Nurse live in house, with a Maid-slash-prep chef and Gardener who live elsewhere in the Residential district.
