This post is what is posted in the Advanced Interest Check thread. This is for easy reference if anyone needs this during game play. A mysterious benefactor has sent out letters to a group of people- the homeless, the abandoned, the lonely, and the hopeless. The letters have each been delivered with a different item- a meal, a bouquet of flowers, a promise of scholarship, perhaps a gift needed to achieve some personal goal- from a nondescript delivery person who has already received payment. The letters all read: [hider=The Letter] [i]Greetings, You have been selected to participate in an interview with Silent Wheel, Inc. Please arrive tomorrow at 9:00 PM promptly, at the address listed below. Ring the bell three times. Dress code is casual. Duties and compensation will be discussed over cocktails and dessert. 6200 Belladonna Drive Leyden City, PA Warmest Regards, [img]https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/quiz/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2014/05/20140531-govbeat7.png[/img] Silent Wheel, Founder and CEO[/i] [/hider] Upon further research, or for anyone knowing the dying city in which they dwell very well, Belladonna Drive proves to be a private road leading to an estate about 20 minutes outside of the city limits. The house has been featured in a local project meant to highlight historic locations. The photo used in the newspaper and resulting book of local history can easily be found with a brief search in the local library archives.

Leyden City was doing very well during the industrial period of America. The slow death began in the mid-1960s, and sped up considerably by the mid-70s. Now the city struggles with empty and abandoned buildings, low economic growth, homelessness, and crime. There are attempts within the city itself to revive it, but nothing has taken off. Despite this, there are still some amenities in the city that have managed to hold on and continue working, even if at a lower capacity than before. Maple Grove College is still in operation, and there is a local newspaper ([i]The Leyden City Chronicle[/i]), a collection of public schools, a handful of local restaurants, the usually expected kinds of chain businesses, and quite a collection of local bars. There are old stage theatres, some of which are still running, and a single large, historic movie theatre. A handful of museums of various sorts are also in operation, but are constantly on the brink of shutting down. There is a public transit system that is also barely hanging on.
