* * The Barn * *

MelberLime's base of operations, so to speak, is located near her wing of the complex. It is a building that appears to be a traditional-style barn, complete with red siding and white X's on the doors. This is where she keeps her "zoo."

It's a 5-storey building, with only 2 storeys visible from ground-level. In the top storey are the things you'd expect to see: bales of hay, a feline or two, and perhaps a bat. One might find MoogerMint's winged tiger here, rolling in the straw. Down one floor, ground-level, are where several stalls are situated, including one for ShanIon's blue mare. Several perches are also located here, for the occasional bird to stay.

And so it continues, each floor optimized for different types of creatures. Each storey is sealed separate from the others, to maintain the safety of each species in her care. Each floor has its own distinct climate, and the elevator linking them is inconspicuous and against a far wall, speedy and nearly silent, all of this to make everyone more comfortable.

The purpose of this sanctuary you might ask? Primarily it is a rehabilitation center for animals MelberLime has come across in her travels. Many animals will never leave, while others may stay for a season.
