Towny

Part 1: Dawning

           "So here's some wood for your new house, make sure it looks similar to ours, like, the same theme." Pineapple said, there was only two other buildings being built at the time. His own, a house without a roof, and Jack's house, a large area, yet missing it's roof also. They both rested along the cliffside, their soon-to-be backs facing the sea. The area around was filled with many acacia trees that grew high up, blocking your vision from seeing outwards.
           So I decided on building a high frame for the first floor. I placed down oak wood with natural oak bark lining on the edges. The ceiling would also be oak wood slabs, and stairs would lead to a 2nd floor. The second floor would have the similar area as the first, but with a porch hanging onto it. I knew that my house had to have a big roof and not just a flat roof so i built an attic with the ceiling being the roof.
I walked over to Pineapple's house to check it out. He had a huge roof similar to a hat that was a dark oak color to it. While gazing at the mountainous roof, Pineapple sat atop, building onto it. He called down,
"Ya like it? It looks like hat, ha! But have you seen Jack's house yet? His is nice, good look for architects. Even has a church up in the attic."
"Haven't seen it yet, I'll go check it out." I replied. I walked down the street to Jack's house where I saw him sitting outside on his porch enjoying a steak. He looked up at me in surprise.
          "Ey! Come here real quick." he said to me. He put down his steak onto the ledge of his porch and leapt off his chair. He trotted to the side of his house, signaling me to follow. On the side, there appeared two sets of ladders side by side. They both lead up to trap doors, that lead to an upper deck. We both climbed up and slid through the trap doors. We got up onto the deck and revealed that it was connected to the inside of a 2nd floor.
          You could see the beautiful sunset on the horizon of the waters out. The red sun flowed out an orange that faded into the blue sky. Jack snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention. I shifted to head to look at him. He was on the ladder already, about to take another step up.
        "These ladders go higher, straight up to the roof. Be careful these or your head'll be as ready as that sun there if you fall off." He started up the ladders. I followed after.
          We got to his roof, where there was two large doors leading into his attic. The wind was stronger up there and you had to keep your feet planted down on the roof or you'd be blown off. But once we got into his attic, the wind stopped and the scent of candles rushed to your nose. The smell of Helen Rose infused candles filled my lungs as he explained the room to me. There was a small platform in the front, and two rows of chairs side by side each other facing the platform. As I walked through the room, I saw another trap door in the corner, close the the side of the roof that was faced to the street. I looked down into and saw only darkness.
"That leads to the basement and other floors. Don't tell no one, but down in the basement I've got a small farm growing out tobacco and some Helen Roses. If Pineapple makes tobacco and other drugs illegal, I'll have to get rid of it before I get busted. Who knows what Pineapple will do. You know how Factions and other things turned out." His tone was serious when he said that to me. It was true, Pineapple doesn't cut slack sometimes.
          Later that night, after touring the church of Helen, I heard the sound of hammer against nail outside my house. I walked out, and saw Pineapple nailing some signs in a small building across, and to the left of my house. I walked in. The room building had a large opening, instead of doors. It was only lit by 2 torches on each side, inside and outside of the building. In it, "Town Rules" read on one sign at the top, and rules on the the wall below it. It read each one.

1. Members of the Town shall not murder each other inside the Town areas.
2. No one shall steal from another Town member.
3.One shall have a house or settlement that looks similar to it's neighbors.
4.Plants or any other drug such as Cannabis, Tobacco, Cane, or White Bean cannot be harvested, produced, bought, sold, or obtained.
5.No one shall revolt to overthrow the Town Government or Town Leader/s through violent acts.
STATEMENT: The Town shall now be called "Wolvesburg"

         "Dang. Now Jack-."I said. Oh no, Pineapple's going to suspect Jack. Dammit! I thought. Pineapple turned his head at me with squinted eyes. Oh shit. Now he knows something is up. I got really hot and my face turned a little red. I held a serious face but my nervousness showed. He could tell something was up.
         "... Whatever Jack did... He better fix it," he said to me. "... Have a goodnight." he had a real serious face on the whole time. He grabbed his box of nails and his hammer and walked back to his house.
          The next morning I had just been done with sorting a chest with some farming materials when I heard a knock at the door. I walked over to the large window facing the street and tilted my head to see him. I opened the door.
"Hey Red! Long time no see, yeah? How's you get here?" I said while letting him in to the house. He was a lot taller now, it had been over a year since we saw each other. He stood almost a whole foot taller than me and he still had his red hair. He was built more, probably from all his mining and construction work back in his hometown.
"Hey, Pineapple sent me a mail with a letter about the town and invited me to come over here. So I brought my ship." he replied.
Red pointed to the sea down by Jack's house. There was a large area of sand that the boat was partially touching, and the boat was huge. It towered up to about as large as a Jack's house. It had a dark finish to it and the flags on the boat were a solid black.
"Woah, we'll have to build a deck for that in the future. Would you like to see the house? Just got finished the other day." I said.
I toured him through the house and told him about plans for a town clock in the attic facing the town. He had to lower his head just a bit to be careful his head wouldn't hit his head.
         "Eli, do you know anywhere that I could build a house for myself?" he asked me as we walked down the steps to the 2nd floor from the attic.
           "Hmm... you'll have to ask Pineapple, but theres a little elevated area parallel to Pineapple and Jack's house you might be able to build on. I'm sure he wouldn't care, but just ask him to be sure." I replied.
           "Alright, cool. Pineapple invited me to stay the night until morning. So I'll be on my way. I think Jack's preparing dinner for everyone tomorrow at his house if you want to come." He said as he started for the door.
           "Yeah, I'll be there." I said. Then he walked out and over Pineapple's house.
           I stepped into bed after I finished sorting my chests . This Town is going pretty well. I'll have to tell Jack to get rid of that farm tomorrow.  I thought to myself while I laid down on my bed in the 2nd floor. I fell asleep soon after to the sound of raindrops calmly hitting the Town.
