MUSH Description
<Ar>gosy(#177Rn):
This is the densely populated city of Argosy in Inustan's midwest. A large gambling town, Argosy sees a good number of tourists on a day to day basis. Besides the native Inustani, many other languages are spoken here, with Common and Lanese of particular importance.
Argosy is known as the city which never sleeps. Casinos are open all hours of the day--as such, streetlamps to light the way to, from, and around them are always kept lit. Street performers and musicians take advantage of this and can also be found any time of the day or night. It is, all in all, a very crowded, bright, and noisy place.
Businesses related to the casinos have cropped up and filled nearly every possible niche in the city's market--from establishments which change currencies for the numerous foreign tourists to any number of souvenir shops. Of course, tourists do not alone make up the entirety of the city's population. There are also groceries, fabric shops, realtors, and other necessities for those who call Argosy home--churches, schools, and libraries are also to be found.
The "resident" sections of Argosy are typically organized throughout the city in small oases from the larger "tourist" sections. When found by non-residents, they are often stumbled upon quite by accident. It may be quite a shock and surprise as the resident sections are quite a world unto their own inside the larger Argosy, whose overwhelming noise and light provides a strange backdrop in the residential areas.
