I'm hoping to do something really cool with this. Let me know in a review or a PM.
On the far right is Mr. Fix-It's. It's a small building that has three lop-sided windows. The lights from inside makes it look like the place is on fire all the time, but it never is. It's owned by a man named Gobber and he's the best fix-it man in the city. There is only one other worker. His name is Hiccup and he goes to the college nearby. He moved to the city recently and is looking for a place to live, maybe with some roommate to share the rent.
The next building is Bunnymud's Flower Emporium. It's a tall, narrow building that has big windows on either side of the small door. It's a lovely, peaceful place that has seats in the windows and if you're quiet you can sit there all afternoon. The man that owns the shop is called Bunny. His real name is Aster, but because of his last name everyone calls him Bunny. He doesn't have anybody that works for him because he doesn't trust anyone with his flowers. However there is a young man that's studying at the college to be a botanist. He helps Bunny when he doesn't have any classes. His name is Neville.
The largest building is the apartment building. It was built in the 1920's so not everything is perfect about it. The windows aren't straight and you have to take the stairs if you want to get off the first floor. It has a front door with a short staircase leading to it. There are three different colored bricks that look like they used whatever had been left over from something else. When you first look at the place, you get a feeling that something is different about it, but you can't put your finger on it. You would be right though it's not the building that's different. It's the people that live there that make it give off an aura that just makes you want to stop in and say hello to a friend, even if you don't know anyone that lives there. The rates are cheap so it's mostly college kids that live there.
Then there's the magic shop that's owned by a man everyone calls Doctor. They don't know why or what his real name is, but no one's really questioned it. Three people work there and all of them go to the college. Harry, Luna, and Ginny have gone to school together since they were young and are very good friends. Luna and Ginny live in apartments next to each other and Harry lives across the hall. Ginny is roommates with Rapunzel and Luna is roommates with Merida. The four of them have been friends since before they started school, but they could only find places that had two rooms. They were happiest with apartments next to each other. Luna is in love with a guy that lives on the third floor. They're been best friends and have been dancing around their feelings for years, but everyone knows about it. His name is Neville. Harry is roommates with Jack. They have a third empty bedroom and are looking for a roommate. They think they've found him when Hiccup moves to town.
The Doctor is a strange man that owns and lives above the magic shop with his wife Rose. No one's sure how long they've lived there or when they bought the shop. It's like it wouldn't be Storytown if the Doctor and Rose weren't there. Nobody knows much about them as they keep to themselves, but they are always kind and make sure you get just what you're looking for (even if you don't know yourself) when you walk through their doors.
Jack is a lively fellow that always has something to say. He's tall and lanky with snow-white hair. He keeps to himself most of the time, but once you get to know him you can't get him to shut up. He met Harry at the college and they got along well enough that they decided to get a place together. He knows that Harry is in love with one of the red-heads across the hall, but he's not sure which one yet. Jack works at the ski lodge that's about twenty minutes outside of town. He was the one that brought up the extra room when he heard that Hiccup had moved. He saw the other boy around school and wanted to get to know him better, besides Jack thought he was cute. He gets along really well with the Doctor and North. The magic shop and the toy store are where he spends most of his free time. He likes to annoy Bunny, but they get along okay. He loves to visit with Tooth, but hates it when she's at work. His two best friends are Rapunzel and Merida.
Just passed the magic shop is Tooth's, the dentist office. It's a rather strange building with a very large tooth on top of it. It has tall narrow doors with uneven bars that open them. It has five floors, four of which have three rows of windows. The first floor doesn't have any windows. The building also has three apartments. Tooth lives in one, Babytooth lives in the second, and Bunny lives in the last. Tooth's real name is Anna. She got her nickname because she loves her job so much and when she had the tooth put on the roof, the name stuck. She's lived in Storytown all her life and never wanted to be anything other than a dentist. The happiest day of her life was when the practice she lived above and worked at was handed down to her.
Babytooth is Tooth's assent/secretary. She lives in one of the apartments above the practice and is attending her last year of school at the college. Her real name is Becca. She got her nickname because of how much she was like Tooth. She never had a word to say against it. She has a school girl crush on Jack (he's only a year below her), but she knows that it'll never happen. She's getting over it and he's becoming more of a big brother to her anyway. Her favorite place to be when she's not working is the toy store.
The smallest building at the very end of the street is the toy store. It's a very square, very red building. It had two floors, and no windows. It doesn't have a sign to tell you it's the toy store, it's just common knowledge that it's there. It's owned by a man named North because that's where he's from and nobody can pronounce his Russian name. He's a large man with heavily tattooed arms. He's a jolly man that loves to help the children that come into his store. He lives on the first floor of the apartment building and is good friends with the landlord. He knows Jack very well and is starting to think of him as a son. He's known the Doctor longer than almost anyone, but even he doesn't know how long the man and his wife have lived there. He has one person that works for him. The man's name is Sanderson (Sandy) and he has lived in Storytown longer than even North or Lorax. North has always loved making toys so he thought that opening a store would be the best way to make money. He's become a rich man in his trade. He keeps the money he needs and gives the rest away to charity. Despite how many years he's lived in America his English is still broken and he has a very think accent.
Lorax is the landlord of the apartment building. The only person that's been around longer than him is Sandy. He's a short, plump, hairy man, but he has a heart of gold. Back in a different life he spoke for the trees, but the only trees in this jungle are the buildings. He still speaks for the trees, even if they're a different kind. He's the only one that cared enough about the building to keep it up and running. Though a lot of the kids that live there now help with repairs and things of the like. His two best friends are Sandy and North. One of his favorite pass times is to sit on the bench in his lobby and watch the teens that pass through. (It's not creepy, trust me.) He hears about a lot of what's going on in their lives by doing this. He helps with their problems when he can. The people that live in his building know that they can always go to him if they're in trouble or just need someone to talk to. He's the best landlord the building has seen in a long time.
Sandy is a short, fat man. He has a voice, but doesn't use it unless he has something important to say, which isn't very often. He's lived in Storytown longer than anybody, even the Doctor. He's the only one that knows when the man came to town with his wife. He likes to hear the stories that the others come up with though, so he keeps it to himself. He's the one that told Lorax that he should be the landlord of the building that they both lived in when the old one retired. He works for North, doing odd jobs for the man. He likes to hang out in Mr. Fix-It's because even if anybody wanted to talk, it would be too loud to do so. He also spends time in Bunny's flower shop because it's always quiet and peaceful there. He knows all of the teens that work in the shops along the street. He's friends with everyone (even Jack, who is sometimes hard to get along with.) Sandy is a good man that everyone loves and it wouldn't be Storytown without him.
Rapunzel is a tall, skinny girl who has very long, blonde hair. She normally wears her hair in a braid so that it stays out of her way. Rapunzel volunteers at the animal shelter across town and attends the nearby college. She hopes one day to inherit the shelter she works for. She's roommates with Ginny and is one of the only people that knows about her and Harry's relationship. Rapunzel is a gentle soul. She is kind to everyone and never raises her voice. When she's around everyone feels like equals, because that's what they are to her. She's always there if one of her friends are in need. On her days off she likes to sit in the windows of Bunny's and read or people watch. She's good friends with Hiccup as they have a few classes together. She's sometimes naive, but she's the most loyal person you will ever meet.
Merida is an average sized girl with flaming curls for hair. She can be short tempered, but she never means any harm. She works at the sports shop across the street from the animal shelter. She's also just started at the college and is happy to have someone to share rent with. She's roommates with Luna and keeps telling the spacey girl that she should tell Neville how she feels. Merida has known Hiccup longer than anyone. They were good friends when they were kids, before school started. Then Hiccup moved away with his family, but they kept in touch. She the one that told him about the apartment across the hall with the empty bedroom. While she can come on strong sometimes, she really does have a kind heart. She will fight for the people she loves tooth and nail. She would do anything in her power to make sure they never got hurt. Merida's fierce, but if you take the time to get to know her you will never regret it.
Storytown is a small town in the middle of modern day Kansas. It's a place where everyone knows everyone else, at least by name. It has an even smaller college nearby and has become more of a college town in the last few years. Most people that live there have done so all their lives. A lot of the kids that move there to go to school never leave. It's a wonderful place where you're not scared to walk the streets at night.
The street that everyone lives on is called Fiction Lane. It's a quiet street and everyone that lives there gets along famously.
