Maps, Area Descriptions, and Location List

[montauk_mods]

Below are detailed descriptions of all locations that characters have explored or are immediately likely to explore within the city, and maps of every part of Seattle proper. The areas further south (Burien, White Center, Tukwila, Bryn Mawr-Skyway, Normandy Park, and SeaTac) that are also accessible do not have maps yet, and we're currently also looking for a map of SeaTac International Airport that includes the 1973 renovations but (for obvious reasons) not the ones that began in the 1980s.

Overview

[montauk_mods]

The Teratoma is a six story tall apartment complex, and one of the few buildings in the city whose windows are intact; viewed up close, they appear to be made of squamous tissue, with hair inclusions instead of cracks. Most of the walls inside the building are a dirty, very pale bluish shade, and some of them pulsate constantly, on a very low frequency that upsets the nerves; others contain fissures that are full of human teeth. Here and there, outgrowths of tissue with a leathery texture push through the walls and floor.

The building has electricity, but it's unreliable at best, and the lights always seem to flicker at a migraine-inducing frequency. Despite the unreliable power, the building is always a constant 60° F, winter or summer. In some areas, a strong sense of paranoia and sightings of shadow people are common. When you turn on the tap, sometimes you'll get water that's tea-colored from all the rust, and sometimes, it will smell like it's just come from the bottom of a bog; sometimes, what comes out is blood and tissue fragments.

For the moment, this building is one of the safest places in the city.
