If you asked any human in the city about the old apartment building, they'll tell you it's been abandoned for years. Rumor has it the place is haunted, and no one feels like upsetting a bunch of spirits by demolishing it, so it remains standing. A feeling of Something being wrong lingers around the area, and many claim to have seen a horned figure patrolling the roof. Between that and the generally unwelcoming exterior, most humans stay away. But to the synths of the area, this place is a safe haven.
The interior is a stark contrast to the exterior. What once was the lobby has been converted into a strange sort of living room. Although it's all been cleaned thoroughly, it's obvious the furniture was grabbed from various garbage piles around the city. The bookshelves are filled with everything from children's picture books to technical manuals. Bizarre, alien technology is messily embedded in the walls, supplying power and extra structural integrity to the old building. Usually, a pink-haired synth dressed in green can be found cleaning around the area, happily welcoming anyone new.
Just up the stairs are the apartments, most hardly different from any other apartment. The only truly noticeable differences are the boarded windows and the large charging stations in each bedroom, made from the same technology keeping the power running. Only a few of these apartments have permanent residents. Most only stay here a short time before either returning home or escaping somewhere far away. But they'll always be welcome if they choose to return. That's why the Vipperloids made this place into what it is. They know better than anyone how terrible the world can be to their kind, and they don't want anyone else to feel as hopeless they did. Every synth deserves a place to feel safe, even if only briefly.
