Beach Strip – Austin Bunton Designs

This is where all the shops, eateries, and off-sand hangouts are just up the slope from the surf, “beach bunnies”, and piers.

Orientation:

While there are numerous strips of beaches throughout Inisfree, such as those bordering the canyon’s river, the two ponds by Arch City, the moat around the highway-cathedral, the channels of Waterfall City, and the many individual residence pools, ‘The Beach Strip’ is the term Inisfreeans use for a particular stretch (section) of the smooth, soft, slightly moist sands which form a rectangular ring (border) around Inisfree’s main lake.

Half of this beach is reserved for civilian use (citizenry; the Inisfreeans, and patrons; approved Outlander guests), and half of it for military use (the NWO military personnel of Inisfree, who practice routine landings, take-offs, SPIE-rigging, amphibious assaults, beachhead obstacles breaching, and related special warfare and sex-fare operations).

At the foothills beneath the San Diego Hills neighborhood, you will find the section of all this with the shops, cafes, lighthouse, and rooftop lounges; this is Inisfree’s ‘Beach Strip’. The lighthouse is on the sandy side of the bend in the lower of the two terraces. Each of those terraces is wide and long enough for many parking spaces in a loop around that terrace’s span of side-by-side and back-to-back buildings; the alternating restaurants and shops on both terraces are in a 2x# formation/cluster which follows the (2) straightaways and bend (in the ~middle) of each terrace.

Parking is all the way around both of the two terraces that make up this beach strip; the upper one (farther from the lake) and the lower one. With how the highway here bisects the upper terrace, that results in three separate parking-lots for the beach strip. To get from one terrace / parking-lot to another, take any of the under-highway pedestrian-tunnels.

All told, there are:

100 buildings along the northern half of the upper terrace;
50 along the backside
50 along the beachside
100 buildings along the western half of the upper terrace;
50 along the backside
50 along the beachside
148 buildings along the lower terrace;
74 along the backside
74 along the beachside
374 buildings total for the beach strip;
187 which face/open away from the beach/lake
187 which face/open toward the beach/lake
174 are shops, so 87 face the lake
173 are restaurants, so 86 face the lake

Nevada has “the strip” in Las Vegas; considered the best part of that town. Here in Inisfree, our equivalent is this one; this is the well-lit nexus of an even more-relaxing sandy paradise within a paradise.

Dimensions:

The terraces/sections of the beach strip measure:

northern half of the upper terrace: 264′ wide buildings-group, x ~3,300′ “long” (.625 mile); 871,200 square feet
western half of the upper terrace: 264′ wide buildings-group, x ~3,300′ “long” (.625 mile); 871,200 square feet
lower terrace: 264′ wide buildings-group, x ~4,884′ “long” (.925 mile); 1,289,376 square feet
3,031,776 square feet, total, for this portion of the beach strip; the area/footprint of/for all its shops and restaurants

Each building of the beach-strip terraces has:

a ~66′-wide storefront
~132′ “length” (depth; from the storefront to the inside back of the building)
8,712 square feet of floorspace
20′ ceiling
1 or 2 levels (a loft as the 2nd, if it has 2)
a rooftop area often open to customers and passersby alike; a hangout area with the best views of the lake from that location

The parking lots are/have:

~132′ wide –all the way around the three sections/groups of buildings
divided into inner and outer rings, with the inner ring being for vehicles-parking, and the outer ring being for mobile-houses parking
~10′ wide x 20′ “long” (deep) parking spaces for vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) –separated by ~5′ of landscaping along their 2 longer sides
~450 vehicle parking-spaces around both halves of the upper terrace
~620 vehicle parking-spaces around the lower terrace
~1,520 vehicle parking-spaces total; ~4/building (shop or restaurant)
~40′ x 40′ parking-spaces for mobile houses
~165 mobile-house parking-spaces around the northern half of the upper terrace
~165 mobile-house parking-spaces around the western half of the upper terrace
~250 mobile-house parking-spaces around the lower terrace
~580 mobile-house parking-spaces total; ~1.5/building (shop or restaurant)
enough room between the inner (vehicle) and outer (mobile-house) spaces that a waiting/stopped mobile-house will still not block the flow of parking-lot traffic; cars and trucks will still have enough space to drive around it
and the upper terrace, being a couple stories higher than the lower/beach-level terrace, has room beneath its parking lot(s) for their expansion; to either double their current spaces by having one basement-level added, or triple it if two basement-levels are added

Lighthouse:

10 10′-tall stories; 100′ from base to light-beacon/balcony/wraparound
~20′-diameter at the base
slightly narrows toward the top
beam is multiple stories over the upper-terrace rooftop-hangouts; it does not shine in anyone’s eyes or any storefront as it rotates

–

Shops:

Everything in Inisfree is free, so the term “shops” is only in the sense that these buildings look like traditional well-taken-care-of shops elsewhere in the world.

There are as many of these attractions on this beach strip as there are restaurants.

Above many shops is a rooftop hangout area.

As of 2022, all the shops of the beach strip are available; they only become actual stores/presentations once a non-ICV resident of Inisfree decides he/she wishes to maintain one of these locations to show off one or more of his/her artworks or other creations/products. (Since all of downtown is just for meetings/planning between the leaders/representatives/teams of the businesses we allow to have a regional office in our city/realm, and since our shopping mall is just for our favorite vegan products of those businesses/corporations, this beach-strip is where individuals in Inisfree, whether they have an official business or not, show off and offer their own.)

Shop 1 of 174: Name TBA, product category/ies TBA, started by [Character Name], managed by [Character Name], business hours: [open]-[close] [Mon.-Sun.]
Shop # of 174: [Business Name] of Rhonna Romanovski – for assisting freed slaves start their (free/d portion of their) lives/businesses

Every shop has a toilets-room with several stalls and sinks.

–

Eateries:

There’s something for everyone here; this is one of a small handful of areas in Inisfree which boast every single one of the restaurants we feature in our realm. Each of these establishments is spread out along the beach strip, separated from nearby restaurants by the shops and hangout structures. The result is a checkerboard-like layout showing how they uniformly alternate all the way from one side of this area to the far one.

As of 2022, the 56 “chains” (where there is more than one of those restaurants in our city) each have a location along this beach-strip. All of those 56 are in the upper terrace, 28 per half of that terrace. All of them face the lake.

That leaves 117 buildings/spaces available/vacant; 117 new restaurants can be started here. That will depend on when our residents decide to open restaurants of their own. Whenever they want to show off their cooking skills and unique set of recipes, they’ll be helped by ICVs to get going right here.

New Restaurant 1 of 117: Name TBA, culinary genre/region TBA, started by [Character Name], managed by [Character Name], business hours: [open]-[close] [Mon.-Sun.]

As always, all of these establishments will have ICVs issued to them to be managers, hostesses, and head chefs, and kajirae issued to them to be cooks, waitresses, and janitors. Since none of them require any pay or the kind of benefits-packages that are often state- or federally-mandated in the Outlands, you can keep your focus entirely on your cooking/products and the customer/visitor-experience. The ICVs will understand what you have in mind and help you to maintain the creation and offering of it gracefully, and the kajirae will always be eager to do their part/s (pun not intended).

Every restaurant has a toilets-room with several stalls and sinks.

–

Hangouts:

Above ~1/3 of the attractions/buildings of this beach strip are rooftop patios, some with trellises and other tasteful accents/features. The shops’ roofs which have one… are accessible from a staircase or AIOW not connected to the inside of the shop the rooftop area is over (in order to prevent through-traffic unrelated to the shop/s), and anyone can use these whether they are shopping or not. Most of the restaurants which have one reserve theirs for the people dining/ordering at them.

374 buildings / 3 = 124 rooftop hangouts, only some of them touching an adjacent-hangout’s corner
~60′ x 60′, surrounded by 1 or 2 (concentric) railings all the way around the border/edge of the rooftop each hangout is on
lit by strings of golden-white Christmas-lights or similar bulbs for a romantic/chill look/vibe
hangouts are unnamed, or referred to by the shop or restaurant they are on top of

Hangouts do not have their own toilets-rooms; you can use the ones below; whatever shop or restaurant you are in will have one.

–

The Lighthouse:

Since the adjacent body of water is only 1 mile by 3 miles across, this lighthouse is only for its look; aesthetic appeal, completing the whole theme/vibe of the beach strip.

Its light is kept off during daylight, and on in dim skylight and darkness; from just after sunset… to just before dawn/sunup.

Rotating at the speed normal lighthouse lights/beacons rotate, it casts a gentle spotlight-like beam of pale white out over the lake every few seconds or so.

This is one of the only parts of the beach strip which is staff (ICVs) only.

It is always staffed by 1 or 2 ICVs, but is autonomous, so they are just there as per their maker’s will.

–

Rules:

Use an outdoor-shower station/pad to wash all the sand off you before you walk from the beach into any of the beach-strip buildings (restaurants and shops alike).
Only ascend and descend buildings via their staircases/AIOWs; no climbing up or jumping off their outsides.
Keep food and drinks from one restaurant at its own tables or on their way to your home; don’t carry them from one to a different restaurant.
Relieve yourself only in toilets in the toilet-rooms.
Sex anywhere is fine. Just keep it quiet and respectful if you are doing it inside a restaurant or shop.
The only music allowed is that which is played at a quiet/reasonable volume by the speakers inside each/any restaurant or shop –and even they are not allowed to play any that is heard outside them, such as in/by adjacent restaurants/shops.

–

Culture and Sights:

When you come here, you’ll see naked girls everywhere, all of them in perfect shape, sexy as can be. You’ll be able to tell which of them are ICVs because those are the ones whose hair and eye colors will be slowly changing through all the colors, their complexion/tans sometimes slowly changing, too. The kajirae will be the ones with a slave-collar, and possibly branded; a small (~1″) cursive “k” will be on one of their thighs (something they will proudly display, having worked very hard to earn it).

In the restaurants, ICVs and kajirae alike are always available for “full use” at your table. You’ll often see one or two of them below the tables, on their knees, giving a blowjob or pussy-nom-ing (sometimes as two girls on the same patron). That’s in addition to the girls on golden gurneys being used to display non-hot food nyotaimori tableside –whom you can all fully use as you please, which is a typical/traditional part of any meal’s dessert.

In the shops, again ICVs and kajirae alike are always available for “full use”, typically in the dressing rooms. They’ll help you pick out, try on, model, and decide about whatever is offered in the store you are in. They always work naked, making it take as little time as possible to get into whatever you want to see them wear/modeling.

Up on the rooftop hangouts, ICVs and kajirae snuggle up beside just about everyone –so long as that company/closeness is wanted by each person. This is where slightly-more-audible sex goes on, though everyone still does their best to keep the volume to an understandable level; you won’t hear anyone screaming / sex-crying as they go at it. Sometimes you’ll see an ICV or kajira fallen asleep alongside, or in the embrace of, one of our residents or guests, sleeping peacefully as she lovingly clings to him or her.

Down on the walkways between the parking spaces and piers, ICVs will be warmly hurrying over to greet and hold hands with anyone they can sense wants that, and kajirae will often be strutting around with only their slave-collar and a coin-belt on, making it clear that anyone who wants to put even a pebble or seashell in their coin-belt slot will have full use of that girl for as long as it takes them to feel satisfied. The ICVs make sure all the kajirae feel great, too, and even stop to kneel or bend over beside them, holding their hair for them so they can focus better on giving blowjobs and so forth.

It is a very common sight to see a kajira get thoroughly fucked by a passerby right out in the open, or in a car with wide-open doors, and then walk over to wash herself off under one of the outdoor showerheads, then immediately eagerly resume strutting around, hoping to be fucked all over again by yet another total stranger, each time filling her whole body and soul with well-earned pride. When someone wants to do this with a waitress, hostess, or anyone else on shift, they are happily replaced/covered by a fellow coworker so they can join hands with the interested person or party, walk out to/across the parking lot to a vehicle or mobile-house where they can be free and noisy, and then return to clean up and get right back to their shift. Any resident or guest can ask ANY girl they see here to pause whatever they are working on (except when they are taking orders at a table, or walking those orders out to a table), indulging in several minutes to even a half-hour of great public or semi-public sex.

The only thing the ICVs and kajirae here will want to know / ask you is: how you prefer them to have sex with you; do you want it to be a quicky, or for them to take their time, and do you want it more like wild sex… or sweet and romantic, like a GFE (Girlfriend Experience)?

Female residents and guests usually participate in these free-love activities, too; most girls who come here, even though they are free and sometimes “taken”, all consider themselves to be in open polyamorous relationships, perfectly close-enough with everyone else who is from or visiting Inisfree, to the point that spontaneous sex with anyone else here is considered to be no different than waving hi to a friend or going for a morning walk. The ICVs can always sense when they are fantasizing about joining in or starting something with someone, and walk over to politely and warmly encourage them, helping break the ice and do everything else, if that is desired. Males are likewise encouraged and helped by the ICVs to hook up with any females they are into; the ICVs become their wingmen, so to speak, and the kajirae always follow their lead.

‘Hoods:

The Beach Strip is home to several neighborhoods, often truncated in common speech by Inisfreeans to just ‘hoods’, which include the following:

The San Diego Hills: This ‘hood is modeled after the rolling foot-hills terrain of its namesake city from California’s southernmost coast.
The Wave-shaped Buildings: This ‘hood is biotecture; blending into the terrain.
The Atlantis Resort Complex: One of Inisfree’s signature attractions, this hotel follows the slope of the lake’s shore down into its underwater floor.
The Palms Hotel: A skyscraper-high complex of wings full of suites, this, too, is considered a full ‘hood.
Bora-tiki: Fashioned after Bora Bora, the Seychelles, the Maldives, and many other popular Outland island resorts.
Santorini: Built in honor of the breathtaking white and blue cityscape stretching up and out over one of Greece’s most famous landforms.

While all those are technically their own distinct areas adjacent to / outside of this strip of buildings, the term “beach strip” here in Inisfree is still commonly used to group them all together at times.

Location, Location, Location:

Vision is always a key element in any Inisfreean construction, and the Beach Strip is no exception; every single residence and suite here has a view of the main lake. This makes them some of the most sought-after properties in our realm. There are many wonderful heavenly views all over our city, but there’s only one big lake, and no other place on Earth where such a lake is surrounded by so many gorgeously-landscaped terraces, shops, and mansions.

(The High King himself has his own place along this lake, so you know it must be as good as it gets.)

Since the only property ownership here is in the form of apartments, houses, or castles reserved as an individual’s personal vacation residence, and since everyone in Inisfree considers themselves to be part of the same one big literal family of polyamorists, even when all the residences in this region are occupied/full… all you need do is ask whomever is at any one of them if you can hangout there with them; they’ll likely wave and hug you right in, offering you a drink, a meal, and a room. Anytime they aren’t at the place that is reserved for them, it is considered temporarily vacant, so you can enter and use it as you please. There is always an ICV around to make sure everyone is on the same page, and that all the residences stay clean and ready for whomever might be on the way to use them next.

As always, we make sure everywhere in Inisfree is pristine, litter-free. This being our most-touristed beach, we have taken the extra step/measure here by dotting it with a number of small one-story buildings whose sole purpose is to provide whatever might be needed to help maintain it or tidy it back up. Beach clean-up station info is here.

History:

2011: This whole area/region was part of the then-still-frozen, ice-covered, Trans-Antarctic Range peak named Mt. Kirkpatrick.
2012: The terrain is shaped, and the lake starts to be filled with thawed ice; its first liquid water.
2013: With the Grid Mind having formed the foundation and initial ‘skeleton’ (framework) of the beach strip, all its buildings (shops and restaurants) were still empty.
2014: A few of the first chain-restaurants of Inisfree had a location opened here, and the whole beach-strip was very sparsely trafficked; there were only a few hundred or so newcomers to Inisfree who checked this place out each day.
2022: ~1,000 or so come here for an hour or two during most days, mostly during daylight and early evening; right after sunset / into dusk/twilight. Overnight, there are usually still several dozen or so.
2023: High King Auz decided to ‘christen’ every single building and parking space out here, day by day, one or two per visit, with whichever girls are really interested any time he arrives. This may take years, but it’s just the kind of project and hobby he, being an Inisfreean, loves. All his wives and other fuckbuddies who have heard about this little subset plan or goal of his are also in love with the idea, soon to join in to help him accomplish it in style.
23000/+: With nearly 154 million people visiting Inisfree monthly at this point, this beach will be packed 24/7/365. Expect some several million here (all around this lake) during most daylight hours. That’ll come out to about 9 square feet per person on the sand; everyone will have a ~3′ x 3′ spot to sit, people-watch, fuck, or whatever. (There’s ~28,000,000 square feet of the main lake’s perimeter/beach which is always open to guests/residents.)

–

Location & Layout:

This map shows how hundreds of shops and eateries, and thousands of parking spaces (some outside, and some in public garages), all fit inside these 2+ miles of beach-and-lake-facing properties. The ones farthest from the main lake are higher than the others, giving everyone on every rooftop and balcony patio perfect line-of-sight to Inisfree’s waves, babes, yachts, and the lush low mountains on the other side. Up the central mountain’s slope right behind/above one of the three sections of this Beach Strip shops area are the spacious estates of the San Diego Hills neighborhood, its access street continuing up the central mountain even higher… until it reaches the legendary “ICGM” through the Kings Drive trees-archway.
