Hey there! We'd love to see what Bruce can do with D4 and his own visions and how he decides to get there. We think the idea to repurpose the old prison into housing, and at the same time employ those workers in D4 who might have little else they're qualified for in relatively steady jobs, to be an awesome starting point. He's not the only person trying to improve interdistrict relationships, neither is he the only one attempting to help rehabilitate D1 - perhaps some sort of network announcement about a charity event or the like? Simply looking for investors in that service which is available, considering how scant a time he's been in the city and how little a chance he would have had to really build up his own connections thus far.
In terms of your specific questions, but without the list code bc I'm exhausted and lazy:
1. It's... feasible. It will take some time, and no doubt there may or may not be obstacles (at certain points I'd imagine the method will be that Bruce and his partners (not investors, as they have little say in things beyond the money) will present what they have at that time to the mods and we can either just approve it or roll for an obstacle - I'm not yet sure how it will work, but. In short, yes, feasible, but perhaps not easy. 2. Uhhhhhhhhh. Well, D1 has more or less been left to itself due to it's... being better left to itself (although the recent kidnappings and sniper teams may cause public opinion to run otherwise. D3 has never had need of such, being the military/industrial/Bifrons/science complex, and D2 isn't in need of anything beyond advancements in farming. 3. This information is best known amongst locals, or Immune who have been in Proles for a fair while, or simply by Immune who have shown an IC interest in figuring out how things operate here, and furthermore how to fix them. Simply understanding has little bearing here unless one doesn't also possess the vision with which to fix such issues. He would be able to ask anyone who seems receptive, or again, try the charity event for expediency in terms of getting potential contacts all in once place. Or whatever you think would work - it doesn't have to be charity. 4. Once you have the specifics worked out and it is to be a business, esp if you manage to wrangle any natives/Immune into it, we would appreciate it if you did, yeah. Thank you for even remembering to consider that though.
AS FOR the actual like, Batman/vigilantism, we do unfortunately need a bit more time to discuss how those in the dome would eventually react/what the later repercussions would be, &c. While Bruce is free to continue being a vigilante, we have yet to determine the repercussions of such, so. Basically you're welcome to keep playing vigilante and potentially accept one of two or three unexpected consequences (or hey maybe D4 citizens love it, who knows), or chilling out on it and saying Bruce is focusing on the business or w/e you want to say and giving us a little time to work out how that would wind up playing out.
But I mean either way we love the idea, and we're excited to see where you wind up with it regardless of the various paths it could take.
Thank you for the prompt response! ( And apologies for this slightly late one! ) A charity event is about what I was thinking for a starting point, and I hope to have an IC announcement up soon regarding that. Once I have a more concrete idea of what he will have available to work with, I'll type up a detailed plan and send it your way for any tinkering. :'>
Re: vigilantism, that's perfectly fine! Initially, he will be focused on recon as this is a completely unfamiliar place. Furthermore, he's alone and he knows he would need the support of at least one person in law enforcement if he plans to get away with half the things he used to. That said, he is also completely incapable of standing by and doing nothing if he sees a crime taking place so there may be odd reports of a guy — or was it a giant animal? — stopping a break-in or interrupting an assault or whatever. These will remain largely rare, however, and easily dismissed as fabrications or delusions ( so just like they had in Gotham. ) If/when he starts vigilanting in earnest, I'll let you know well beforehand.
