In the City of Claires, the prison population is overflowing, and it sucks. What sucks even more is when you're let out, finding your way to one of a dozen halfway houses that litter the town, from the inner city to the suburban outskirts. What sucks the most however, is trying to get into one when you're a Myth. Only a few generations have passed wince mythical creatures "Came out" to the general public, and boy has the public had a hard time adjusting. Prejudice abound, incarceration rates high, and little is given to this overwhelming majority that (at least they feel like) they are fundamentally other. Most halfway houses will find some way or another to deny access to the myths coming out of prison, so there are many that are homeless. That is, unless you can get to the only myth-specific halfway house. Called "The Oasis" by a few of the former criminals, its a two story halfway house run by a human woman who ends up acting like its a bed and breakfast, but with job help and therapy and other things a halfway house [i]should[/s] provide. According to her, at least. Here's hoping that with enough support and courage, The myths that leave are better than when they arrived [hider=The Rules of the Halfway House ] These rules are framed up ear the front door, and the woman that runs the place goes over them each time a new person comes to live there. In no particular order: - No fighting or violence of any kind. This includes verbal arguments.

There is a myth-friendly gym down the street. If you must let out any steam, please go there! - If you have any problems or questions at all, please come to me. I'm here to help! - This is no place for children for a variety of reasons, but if you have a child and want them to come visit, please let me know at least a day in advance. - No loud music or sounds after 9 PM - No Alcohol or smoking in the house - Be kind to each other.
