Library or forest

Loft: free housing and utilities; no clear downsides

Diner: infinite free food; no clear downsides

Hotel: free temporary housing; unclear limitations on length of stay; implied risk of Shining-style shenanigans from guests

Shop: scope of shop stock and allowable “purchases” unclear; potentially infinite garbage

Forest: infinite free food; guaranteed restful sleep; time freezing outside while passing inside presumably causes you to age and die at least 33% faster relative to those outside if you sleep there every night

Library: access to knowledge in “known universe” presumably limits scope to things that a human of earth already knows; learning requires unassisted research; similar temporal risks to forest coupled with explicit risk of being lost in extra-planar space.

I’m moving into the Loft. If the magical door is always four left turns away, then it should be there even if I travel across the country, right? Traveling all around and always having my house nearby sounds pretty cool.

I love these, they’re always a good pastime.

I choose the library. I’d have to tie a length of string at the entrance in an attempt to keep my bearings.

Free rent without my parents would be a dream.

The loft :3

Death to America

Bunch of nerds here not figuring out how to metagame the system. Choose the shop, purchase a couple of new phones “free of charge” every week, sell em on Facebook marketplace, use the $5000 a month you’re making to live the rest of your life on easy street.

Also, hotel and loft are pretty much the same. I guess the hotel has other people in it and cleans itself but that’s a minor difference.

The Diner, Library, or Forest.

I think I’d pick Forest just to have a place to think without having to worry about losing time. Like if I really need to be alone and have restful sleep and delicious food, I can’t beat that.

If I’m having a bad day or just want more sleep, I can find some fruit, read a book and return when I’m ready.

The Diner is cool because good food again and just meeting people. It would be cool to just watch the day go by while enjoying free food in a secluded booth. Or I sit at the counter and chat with people.

I like knowing things and the library seems cool. I just wish I had infinite time to enjoy it. I would procrastinate returning so hard if I find a good book.

Final decision - Forest.

dinerchads, where you at??

Library and Hotel supremacy

all yalls lofts are gonna be lonely, imma be pals with hotel people. same consideration makes the diner desirable but it’s probably better to have access to a bed unless the diner is fine with drunken crashing in booths

Forests, since that’s my go-to irl. I will say that as a former second-shifter and insomniac the 24 hour diner has been a touchstone in my life time and time again.

The Forest for sure, assuming that magical deep rest works even on my ME/CFS. Can’t do any of the others without my health anyway

If I wasn’t sick, though, I’d pick the shop. For stress relief sometimes I enjoy making massive wishlists of items I never actually buy, and this is like the upgraded version of that. Just seems like it’d be fun to wander and marvel and gather and choose… Plus it’s the one that is most likely to be helpful to your outside life and other people you care about.

CYOA (Cover Your Own Ass)

When I was very little I had dreams of visiting a secret library with an elf librarian. I’d go Library if it wasn’t for the fact that it requires me to bring my own food which means I have to leave to buy food which means I must work in order to have money to buy food which means it’s not much different from my current situation if you consider the internet to be the Library in my pocket.

Hotel is the best. Especially if the rooms and food are free. Hopefully there are good restaurants and maybe a nice hotel jazz bar to hang out in, and if I ever want to be alone I can just go to a room. That honestly sounds magical.
