Life in La Cage generates a lot of complicated situations. You do not get your wage on time, but you need to pay the rent. You really, really want to PARTY, but you do not have any reáls on hand. Faustin knows what people need and how to provide it. And they found the perfect way to make that happen while providing for a family in a nicer part of the building: running a pawnshop. But Faustin is not young anymore and no longer plans to spend the rest of their days pawning pieces of other people’s lives. Days spent in between pawned curiosities gave them a better idea. At Faustin’s request, all three of their children (Kit, Ira, and Billie) will meet again in La Cage after many years apart, and the fate of the pawnshop will be decided. And meanwhile, Faustin will be completing their magnum opus: a great tapestry of everybody in La Cage

Apartment Block A

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 A is the wealthier one - it consists of people that are sure to have food even next week but are not entirely sure if they can get medical care in times of need. All while enjoying the luxury of reliable electricity and mostly repaired windows. The people living here have at least some "power" due to their jobs, but almost everybody is afraid that their little slice of paradise will be taken from them by relocation to a different flat.

The Regulars

Looking for a spot to unwind, spill your guts, or just soak in some good stories over a round of drinks? Well, you've stumbled upon The Regulars - a bunch of locals who've practically made the bar their second home. But here's the thing: you might find yourself a bit out of place because you are not one of them.
