as we gear back into new amsterdam, emma (jyn erso) and i have been looking into the girls' new apartment, which we are affectionately calling henceforth the barbie dream house thanks to its dreamscape origins. we have some questions about the building, and are curious how much leeway we have in playing with this! the below is kind of a mix between "here's where we're at" and "here are our questions", so we'd appreciate any heads up if anything is a no-go in game.
— we know the high-rise is located in the financial district, and from my understand of the setting, this would be considered a more well-to-do area of the city for people to have established residency. for visual & concept inspiration purposes, we've been playing with the new amsterdam equivalent of the real-world mckenzie building in downtown seattle, which is built as a luxury high-rise for affluent clientele in the city.
— we'd like to know if it would be kosher to play off some of the real-world inspiration's special amenities (things like their rooftop garden, dog spa, on-site concierge services, et cetera). in addition, we'd like to know what kind of futuristic adaptations to expect in the building.
for example: in the mckenzie building, there is 24-hour staffed security & a welcome desk, and all visitors are required to be on an approved list. if an outside vendor like a postmates clerk or a grocery delivery service comes, they are met by staffers who take the items and then personally deliver, preventing any "unvetted" people from accessing private resident floors. we'd expect something similar to be in place here, though with perhaps adjustments for scanning neural ids instead of checking physical drivers licenses for guest access to things like elevators and residences. if any of this is off-kilter or doesn't make sense, please let us know!
— daisy in particular would make it a point to learn about the people she'd be living in somewhat close proximity to. though she wouldn't go so far as to plant bugs or other surveillance equipment in public areas, she would use more traditional skills of eavesdropping and social engineering (posing as someone a little more cheerful and friendly, striking conversations in elevators or lobbies, et cetera) to get information about the other residents of the building and who they might be. is there anyone in particular that might be interesting or the subject of rumor that she could learn about? there isn't a specific avenue she'd plan to pursue here icly, and oocly i'm really open to any ideas you have for this!
