OOC:

Time and again I've met folks who RP homeless or vagrant characters. I'm offering free IC squat space on one of my parcels in Devils Pocket, adjacent to the Palace trailer park:

Old Bossier Farm:

Please don't rez anything - if you take up residence there and there's something you think would make sense to have, shoot me an IM (Miriam Levy [melissa.ishtari]) and I'll see what I can do.

The Bossier Farm hasn't been active in several decades. Only the buildings remain, the old farm, the old milking shack, the rusting silo and water tower. People have taken to dumping unwanted things there, everything from old tires to barrels of toxic waste.

The old milk shack is occupied - minimally renovated by an absentee descendant of Old Man Bossier and leased out to some lady cop who keeps to herself when she's there at all.

Some say the whole place is haunted. The mournful lowing of the wind passing through the old silo sounds like cows lining up for the slaughter. The shriek of decaying metal sounds like the last cry of a tormented woman. The odd grasses that grow beneath the decrepit water tower sometimes seem to lay in the shape of a fallen body... somebody told somebody and somebody else swears they saw it move once.

Still, beggars can't be choosers. Discarded mattresses molder inside the musty barn and the roof and walls are decent enough to keep out the wet and the wind when the hurricanes spin.
