The City of Yellowed Brick

The City of Yellowed Brick, also sometimes referred to as the Old Brick City, is a mazelike city made of, as the name implies, yellowed brick. It's generally circular in shape, with gates to the north, east, south, and west. In the very center of the City is a fronting room, which for most of the system's history has been where the hosts lived and fronted.

The City of Yellowed Brick has changed a great deal over the system's history, and the complexity and height of the mazelike walls has been a long-standing indicator of things like the system's trust, how heavily we are masking, and conflicts between members. For many years it was almost completely abandoned, with the exception of the folks who front or assist front often. Only recently, in 2021, did it begin to be populated regularly again.

Front Room

---

The front room for the City of Yellowed Brick has historically been the 'main' front room, where the (usually frontstuck) hosts would spend their time. This front room appears, from the outside, to be a perfectly cylindrical(or occasionally hexagonal) room in the dead center of the City, topped with a glass dome at around 100 feet high, give or take some depending on the influence of whoever is looking through it. Through this glass ceiling one can, of course, see into the front room itself.

On the inside, the front room appears to be a plain grey room surrounded by a completely smooth, cylindrical(or occasionally hexagonal) wall. One can only find this wall if one is looking for it; otherwise, when standing within the front room you are surrounded by the front void. In the center of the room is a massive console, with a number of dials, screens, radars, levers, and buttons. This console is the means of interfacing with the body, and the specific functions of the various buttons tends to vary depending on who's using them.

In front of the console is either a large grey chair, metallic and imposing(but with a comfortable seat), or a piano bench of sorts for when more than one person are sharing front. It's not uncommon to see small structures, like blanket forts or piles of cushions, sitting around behind the console, as folks have a tendency to camp out here.

Function

The City of Yellowed Brick has historically been the base of support for system hosts, as well as the main forming place for new members. Most members of the City have fronted at some point in the past, or act as support members for active fronters and new arrivals. Due to the trend of new members showing up in the City, there are a number of methods in place for new members to get a place to stay, temporarily or permanently, as they get their footing.
