Everything ends. Now, Placide's life, too, is inching towards its end every day, even though they are not really looking forward to accepting it.
La Cage is their whole life. Placide built and repaired it four times with their own hands, always making it better than before. They were there when the place first became a hospital, and they were there when it stopped being a hospital. It was Placide who went ahead and managed to build a bar inside the hospital. A bar! Nobody believed in it back then, and now it is one of the staples of the place. Placide did this, and Placide even made some money from it all.
But, while La Cage can be rebuilt and repurposed, it's starting to seem that Placide can’t. Very soon, they will need somebody to take care of them - and of the establishment they created. While life dedicated to the bar brings a lot of acquaintances of various flavours and smells, it brings very little family. In its place, Placide only has old friends, youngsters who look up to them and most importantly, lots of people trying to steal what Placide and other good, local-born Revacholians have built.

Apartment Block B

Everybody who lives in La Cage is mostly poor and desperate. The families and professionals living in Apartment Blocks are the ones who really try to keep some semblance of normality in their lives. The Block B consists mostly of tradesmen and people of other desirable professions. People with no exceptional wealth or status, but the ones who are good and honest at their job and are beneficial to the La Cage. Educated, but not burgeois - teacher, nurse, students, social worker or people jilted from Block A. They mostly want to stay far from the troubles and extreme ideologies (to a small degree of success) but are willing to help each other as much as they can - like a big family.

Druggies

Life in La Cage could never be called easy, but nothing takes the edge off like a little something to tickle the brain. The Druggies are less a formal group and more a handful of users that found themselves in the same grim alley every day to take the edge off before the corners got too crisp. Whether trying to escape or enhance reality, to get a grip or lose it, the Druggies explore the fractals behind their own eyelids, may it lead to enlightenment or their own destruction. The users of the group are enabled by the suppliers that take advantage of them: manufacturers and smugglers with their own agendas. Should the users ever manage to get it together, they might find some clever ideas to turn the tables.
