( INFORMATION ) DISTRICT 4
DISTRICT 4. east.
Despite being predominately abandoned since the onset of the outbreak, there is still distinct evidence of life still persisting throughout District 4. This district was hit the hardest by the virus, potentially not helped at all by the close quarters and lack of resources. What's left are rickety structures and narrow, dirty streets, poorly done repairs on houses that weren't even constructed that well in the first place.
There are several factories here, the majority of them abandoned. Similarly the jail that used to operate by way of the Order of Justice in the area is also abandoned and hasn't seen usage in some time. The area receives the least consideration - the leftovers, mostly. Fresh meat is laughable, any dairy at all much the same, and the majority of the technology available is either cast-offs the other three districts had no use for, or came in by way of the black market.
What does provide the most life in this area are the various illicit trade opportunities available. The black market can probably find you nearly whatever you'd like, provided you've got the patience and credits for it. Similarly, if you're looking for an illegal upgrade, or potentially looking to join an excursion outside the dome to look for... Well, anything you think might be out there. It isn't uncommon - not that it's an everyday occurrence - to see the occasional visitor from another district here to procure something that is either not found within their own, or is simply too expensive or dangerous to obtain through more legal means. However, the majority of people living within the district tend to make their living through somewhat less illicit methods - a lot of them sift through the refuse looking for recyclable electronics or any other form of the semi-precious metals still scattered throughout the area to trade. And still, miraculously, there are some actual shops here and there. It isn't uncommon to see greedy individuals attempt to hold them up from time to time, but shops don't survive long in District 4 if they haven't invested heavily in good security.
Culturally, there isn't that much to speak of. Drink what you can get a hold of, don't listen to the addicts who tell you to sniff the industrial waste for a hallucinogenic high, and don't leave your shit out where someone else can get at it. Given that the district doesn't receive very much by way of regular assistance from the other three, the people of District 4 have an odd relationship with one another: they've managed to build up a mild resentment to anyone from the other three quarters, but have yet to actually create a solid level of comraderie amongst themselves. Such potential unrest is a cause of some growing mild concern, especially for those District 1 individuals living on just the other side of the wall connecting them. Since the burned portion of District 1 is also on this border, the northern-most corner tends to attract those for whom curiosity is perhaps too high, as there is a heavier surveillance effort monitoring the area. As such, most of the black market trading tends to happen more towards the centre of the district.
