No New Posts Holo-ball Arena

The arena resembles a modern day pantheon. The dome and roof is the entire upper hemisphere of the arena, the bottom is the enclosed section where the seats and snack bar reside. The seats are made of plush black fabric, the fabric is covered in lighter grey waves. The bottom part is all steel and chrome, almost blinding were it not for Touchdowns almost constant cloud cover. The building can seat well into the millions, and it can contain more spectators standing. The arena is a large globe near a thousand feet in diameter. It seems to be made of some plastic relative. It is very solid at first, but gives way to players entering from the bottom. Once inside, the bubble gains altitude, hovering in the air. The entire thing is zero gravity, so the bubble arena floats at least ten feet from the ground. The anti-grav effect extends to inside, where the players and the balls float. Players move by shifting in currents that flow inside. The goal is to get your ball outside the top the most goal within the time limit. Extra balls are fed in through the bottom.

--When tournaments are not going on [SPRING] , this arena is open for public play. Schools have holo-ball leagues, which instead of the expensive anti-gravity zones, are played with levitating shoes.

No New Posts Crag's Run

A large dome that's near the outskirts of Touchdown. In this place, new tracks are designed and grown overnight, each being wholly different. One heat might have a tundra causeway, and another might be through a deadly swamp. Whichever one it is, the Atmosphere Race particapants must be wary of hidden traps; secret passageways, and fellow aviators with pick-up power-ups scattered along the track.

No New Posts The Touch Cine-plex

A tall, round tower set near the Holo-ball arena. It is nearly 20 stories in height, and it is one of the buildings that dominate the landscape. Entering one of the 4 double sliding doors, you see chrome and glass tile. The movie stand is in the middle, with snack vendors along the sides of the building. The carpet is lush, and red--the stands made of dark mahogany. The snack machines are extremely retro--old popcorn poppers, and candy stored in little boxes. Once you get your ticket, you then proceed to where your movie is showing. Each theatre has 5 screens, one on each wall and to the sides. With the expansive 3-D technology, virtual reality and surround sound; movie-goers are truly in the movies.

-- This is the only theatre in the world that has completely integrated alien customers. A large tank in the front, is filled with water--for the choroids. Some chairs are also much larger--in order to accomodate the rather large species.

No longer do the movies require ridicoulous glasses--the 3-D technology is holographic in nature, and requires nothing more then a crystal screen.

No New Posts Loop-De-Lanes [BOWLING]

The game of pins and dominoes has remained pretty much the same over the years. The shoes may be cleaner, and the lanes may occasionally loop-de-loop, but not much else changed. You pick up a ball, now made of lightweight carbon, and throw it at a pyramid of levitating pins. You play for ten turns.

This bowling alley is no different. It has a large wooden counter-top [which are very rare], and emanates a very rustic feel with its faux electric [solar is more popular] lights. It contains ten small lanes, little red dots mark the floor, the lanes themselves are made of shining wood. Grass like carpet covers the area outside the lanes, small tables of wrought iron litter the surface. Like most bowling alleys it contains a small bar, and a very snazzy light show for late at night.

No New Posts ORCA WINGS [CASINO]

A feat of alien architecture, an amazing example of teamwork and ingenuity. Not to mention, an amazing place to waste all your money. Unlike the other ground bound casinos Orca happens to be one with the air. Shaped like a classic UFO from the fifties, and covered in neon lights, and multi-colored glass, this casino hovers hundreds of feet above the ground, and occasionally goes outside the dome surrounding Touchdown City. In the daytime it is simply a silver disc hovering above, and one can occasionally make out passengers along its top rail. At night however it comes to life. Inside one finds a zero-gravity zone where everything from poker games, to drinks floats in the air. The interior is sleek and contemporary, and almost all silver. The lights blink in multi-colored strobes, and highlight those around them. Each machine has some kind of tether to hold yourself down to.

Slot machines dominate the north part of the disc, card games the south, virtual competitions the east, and rooms the west. You don’t only win money here, you can also win companionship, clothes, and brand new cars. Occasionally you also can acquire gift-certificates, and extremely valuable items.

How can you get a ride on this other-worldly ship? Simple. You wait at one of its docking points [there are four around the city] , just before noon, and it beams you up. Other passengers can be let off twice a day, everyday.

Who owns this little shin-dig? An aspiring Vishnu-choroid half-breed by the name of Orca.

No New Posts Glass Menagerie [CASINO]

It looks more like a skyscraper than a casino. Extending three-hundred stories from the ground, this casino tapers to an angel topped point some three thousand feet in the air. It is all metal girders, and business like styling. What a boring casino! Oh wait, I forgot to mention the place is made entirely of transparent glass. At each hour of the day the entire outside does something odd, at two o’clock it becomes a waterfall, at other times it turns into a giant television. Most of the hours however it pulses with light shows. Inside you can see the gamblers flitting from table to table, accompanied by dutiful servers, and large bags of cash. This casino is the closest to the criminal underworld, its shadowy intentions are hidden behind large panes of clear glass. The place every month has a theme, sometimes its pirates, and other times it is Halloween.

Like all casinos this place is made to suck up your money, and every inch that could be spared is taken up by a gambling machine, a bar, or a pay to enter dance floor.

The original owner of this place is currently missing, and the place is ran by a female android, one built especially for him.

No New Posts EASTER ISLAND CASINO

A cool corner that is the primary hang of the mature generations. Placed near the richer areas of citizenry in Touchdown. It is designed like an ancient Aztec temple of white and silver. The first three floors are held for a bar and grill establishment. The bars are along the sides of the walls. The walls are covered by floor to ceiling shelves filled with every single drink known to every man and alien. Each bartender has the knowledge of every drink to give to patrons. The middle of each increasingly smaller level is a stage for bands and dancers.
The top three levels are a very popular casino environment that caters to only the top level of society. Tuxedoes and dresses are a must.

Like all casinoes its main goal is to make money. It is filled with ancient little gimmicks such as:

Be the Virgin Sacrifice
and
The Volcano Slide

No New Posts THIS IS WHERE DA PARTY'S AT [BARS//CLUBS]

Not every dive is as flashy as the casinos. Touchdown is littered with old-world pubs, and dirty teenager infested dance clubs. Feel the thumping beat beneath your feet, or drink it up with your alien friends.

Your choice.

[[NOTE: You can create bars//clubs, but the casinoes are the truly famouse dives.]]

Board Description
The Fun
Bored? Have worries to wash away?

Allow the bright lights, slot machines, and fast paced action to sweep you away.

From the chink of casino slot machines, to the laughter of skating children, and the sounds of bodies thumping together on the dance floor.

Be cautious dears. The drunks that often emerge from this sector of town--the aliens for the most part--usually find themselves in very bad situations. THe least of which is a simple purse--or bag snatching.

But who am I to tell you that? This stuff is here for a reason! Have a ball--or a holo-ball!
