Introduction:

These hangout facilities are designed to look like the luxurious version of Outlander mines (for mining metals and gemstones) with an Abercrombie & Fitch decor twist. Fully furnished with chair-and-a-halfs, loveseats, and beds, as well as giant-sized staircases with more beds instead of stairs (rising up toward walls like amphitheater seating), and fully stocked with books, jukeboxes, pleasure silks (ultra-skimpy slave-girl outfits), and other amenities, these lounges are among the finest in all the world.

Dimensions & Layout:

The openings to these lounges are the size of a normal mine’s; just wide enough for a cart on a narrow set of train tracks to pass through with one average human walking on either side. The deeper one (a guest) proceeds within, though, the wider and more cavernous the chambers of these lounges become, with their largest ones measuring more than 100 feet across; more than 10,000 square feet of floor space (marked as ~2×2 pixels on the Inisfree top-down map). With cascading lofts up near ceilings sometimes 30 and 40 feet high, these lounges can be considered as having between four and eight stories (four normal-height floors, those then sometimes divided in certain places by lofts and other platforms).

All of our timber-mine lounges are arranged around our central mountain, near the top of its slope, hundreds of feet away from the base of the Avalanche Wall, all of them at the same interval/spacing from each other.

Special Features:

Like all Inisfreean basements and other structures extending down into Inisfree’s ground, these lounges include numerous hidden hatches (ship-like doors) linking them to the silos grid buried deep beneath the surface. The difference here being that in these lounges… those hidden hatches to the man-made subterranean network are expertly concealed behind bookcases and under their many mattress-based giant-staircase steps.

History:

Originally (in 2011), there were only two; there was one timber-mine lounge up on one side of where the Apartments Array neared the Avalanche Wall, and the 2nd of these first-two timber-mine lounges on the other side, both up in the alpine area’s redwoods tree-line there, ‘tucked away’ in all the big sturdy flora and snow high on the slope of our central mountain. These first two were the point in the central mountain where the first Tunnel-Boring Machines (TBMs) 3D-printed in fledgling/proto-Inisfree dug their way into the central mountain to start the long, slow process of shaping its hollow core (so it could become an even bigger 3D-printing facility; the one that made the first of our ColonyPods, it being called “the Main Womb”). Once those TBMs had bored through, these mines were kept open for additional/later 3D-printed TBMs to make their way in to join that effort.

(The TBMs were 3D-printed by industrial-scale 3D-printers assembled inside what became these first two timber-mine lounges; pre-Inisfreean personnel dug into the side of the mountain up here, brought in the parts for those factory-like 3D-printers, and went from there.)

In 2012, after all that TBM-based digging had come to fruition, those two first mine-like access-points were sealed off on/along their inside/underground ends/sides, then furnished and left as reminders of the hard initial work that it took to start/shape Inisfree. It would be another decade before they were as complete and luxurious as the other places across Inisfree. They had always been spacious and promising of this future, though.

By 2021, there were 24 timber-mine lounges; roughly two new timber-mine lounges had been added every year since Inisfree becoming operational (“mostly complete” / “complete enough” –to launch expeditions and other operations). None of the new 22 have any mineshafts connecting them to the Main Womb, though; only the first two had that (though those passageways are sealed). There are no more timber-mine lounges planned as future additions to Inisfree; Inisfree will only have/keep these 24.

Novels Excerpt:

Also nearby where they were, high up on the central mountain’s slope facing the Welcoming Square, was the entrance to one of the mineshaft-themed underground lounges he’d had installed at that altitude. There were a few others if one walked all the way around the mountain at the same level. Each had the same entrance tunnel; that of a horizontal mine, minecart rails and all, which led to a luxurious show-home-like suite at its end.

The ‘timber-mine lounges’, as the Inisfreeans called them, were designed and decorated to look a lot like Abercrombie stores or summer-camp lodges. Chill music was playing on their overhead speaker systems, people were playing tabletop games, and light snacks and drinks were being served. An Inisfreean girl welcomed them with hugs and their city’s greeting. “We are one,” she beamed a winning smile before walking on.
