For those that have difficulty because they just want a little place to store some things, a bedroll they can see, and a portal, but places that rent rooms are full or you are just starting out or whatever, Acacea's treehouse at 158 Silverdell Grove is really not a house but more of one converted to a waystation for those passing through. Despite appearance there is no real lock on the door so it is always open. Anywhere that there is space you can lay down a mat and a small chest - the small ones hold the same amount as the large ones, now. The most space is probably "down" - go up to the room with the piano and the two rooms (the left one is Jaelle's, she can speak for whether or not it's available), and then walk towards the crate in the wall. There is a little transition there.
It looks strange but it's there because we've always roleplayed it as simply climbing down the crate - it amuses Acacea to no end to suddenly disappear into it.
Anyway, down there there is a fair amount of space. A brownie was already tucked under the stairs - I don't know if she's still there.
It's not glamorous or anything, but it is there and it's open and it's got a portal. There's been a few people that have used it as a transition to a rented room, and then to their own place. There's also a scattering of books there if anyone wants to check them out - just put them back after. There's reasons and stuff. For those of you especially meanieheaded, yeah there are elemental wards, please play accordingly.
The crate by the bar usually has foodstuffs in it, which people are welcome to eat out of if they need it. The only thing that was asked was that should they come into more than they need later, that they toss some back in for others. Somebody may have eaten it all by now, as I think the Lily and Jennara were the only people still putting anything in it :p
Acacea is rather unlikely to be in, but that is really no change. You never know, though. Okay, sometimes you do.
PS: Because of tileset strangeness, you may be puzzled when you first enter as to the tiny space and vast blackness - just walk into it and it will spread out.
PPS: For very older players, Aleister's lab actually remains intact and in use (well, not anymore), but it is hiding! The rest was converted and opened at least in part to irk his decaying corpse.
