Deerington; TRUST
Tactical Regimented United Special Training
OVERVIEW:
"All Sleepers should be as prepared as possible to defend themselves."
TRUST is meant to be a place where anyone can train, learn how to fight, and/or improve or learn new combat, tactical, and/or survival skills.
The organization does not ask people to join or enroll in TRUST to use its training hall, attend classes, or even teach, merely offers its resources as things for the Sleepers to take advantage of, free of charge. It does ask that you check in so they can schedule accordingly. That said, characters are welcomed to join/work for TRUST if they choose.
Feel free to treat TRUST's training camp, the farm, as a location in game that can be used as a setting for training, sparring, teaching, etc. While there are sign-ups if you want to be open for further plotting, that's all optional!
LOCATION:
Just off Main Street in the Clarke Acres neighbourhood of Deerington is a former farm and current Training Hall & Camp for Combat and Survival Training: the headquarters of TRUST.
CURRENT IC STATUS: Under Construction (equipment and buildings described may be incomplete/in the process of being built)
The Farmhouse functions as the administration building, including Ironwood's Office. It's also the place to go for the kitchen, washrooms, even a laundry room (hey, training can mess up your clothes). The living room has been transformed into a lecture space, for a more comfortable learning experience when the training hall won't do. The former bedrooms are available for various other offices or purposes. Furniture is sparse.
- Offices: Ironwood (main floor);
- Utilities: washrooms (2); kitchen (main floor); laundry room (basement)
- Other: first aid room; [space available]
The Barn This has been hollowed out and repurposed into becoming the Training Hall. Hardwood floors and lots of space, it's available for sparring and training indoors. A shed right next to the barn houses any equipment that can be borrowed for use in the hall.
- Available equipment: wooden staves; wooden dummies; targets; protective ear muffs; mattresses
The Fields or, basically anything outdoors. There's plenty of space to put or build things here, or simply train outdoors.
- Firing Range: a fenced off outdoor area with targets set up at the other end. Safety equipment can be borrowed from the Training Hall's shed.
The Silo, currently unused and closed off.
The Stables, currently unoccupied and closed off. Includes a small horse track that can be used for running laps.
ROLES / EMPLOYMENT:
There are employment opportunities! Most employment is in the form of part-time combat (or other survival skills) instructors, however you do not need to register your character as an employee to train or teach someone at TRUST. It's completely optional if you want to make your affiliation with TRUST more official. Getting officially hired can be handwaved. If you'd like to thread it out, feel free to plot with Ironwood here or contact his inbox. (or insert person with equivalent hiring power here)
Feel free to think of other ways your character could work for or with TRUST, such as administrative, support, janitorial, etc.
If you would like to make things more official, comment with your character here. And remember to register with the game too.
Services are offered free of charge, including classes. As an organization rather than a business in Deer, compensation ends up in your character's bank account. Ironwood may give your character bonuses out of his own pocket for good work, though.
EMPLOYEES
- Administrator: James Ironwood
CLASSES AVAILABLE:
Please comment to this thread if you want classes to be on the chart. You don't have to set a specific schedule, just give a description of the things your character is teaching. They don't have to be an official employee either, acting in a more informal or freelance capacity, coming in and using the space when it's free. Ironwood prefers if you ask permission, but that can be handwaved.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Surveillance & Security: There are some old 1950s security cameras around but their capabilities are limited. See here for information on Ironwood's surveillance of the farm! At the moment, there isn't much security either outside the farmhouse. Characters can even come to use the farm "off-hours" if they wish to avoid dealing with Ironwood directly, at the risk of... whatever is out there at night. That may change in the future.
Ironwood Plotting: James Ironwood has his own plans and goals for TRUST and there's some optional plotting opportunities with him specifically; go here for that.
Development: other ways characters can contribute to TRUST; Comment to this thread.
Just want to throw up a simple plotting comment? Here you go!

(frozen comment) Surveillance;
Around the farm is a a couple old 1950s surveillance cameras, but they're technologically limited; the video feed has to be actively monitored, lacks sound or colour, and Ironwood's doing that himself. At some point he may figure out how to rig the cameras to his fluid or scroll, but for now they're not being recorded.
On top of that, because they're not easy to find he only has a couple of cameras (basically one per area) so there's huge blind spots. Characters who don't like to be watched can nudge the cameras to point away to further those blind spots - though he may notice that's happened.
Essentially, it's fairly easy for him to miss what your character is doing if you don't want him to see!
If you are interested in having him observe, either through the cameras or far more directly (he may come watch sessions in the training hall or farm; for things outdoors he can even look out the window of his office to watch), please let me know in Plotting below & feel free to include whatever details he might pick up!
