Summary
The Juniper Cross Community School was Founded in the 1920's, originally built by Black educators and community leaders determined to create a safe and empowering place for learning amidst segregation. Named after the resilient juniper tree, the school became more than an academic institution—it was a hub for activism, church meetings, and civil rights gatherings. Over the years, it weathered systemic neglect, while remaining a sanctuary diverse and underserved students to gain an education, befor ultimately closing in the late 1980s, it was partially shuttered, with many wings boarded up. However, the heart of the school remained, figuratively, alive through a host of community programs, such as providing free tutoring, meals on wheels to seniors, free breakfast and after school programs.
But there is a power here, fed through the Juniper Cross community that surrounds the school. The community that built the school with their own hands. The community that filled the school with educators. The community that nurtured their children's education and dreamms in that school.
The Juniper Community has fought a great many battles against much larger enemies, the loss of the school is a mighty blow, but don't count them out yet. For they have many allies both seen and unseen.
Plot Details So Far
- 1/19/1995 - Ryoko reports on the potential of Juniper Cross as a possible site for a City Caern, highlighting its defensibility, spiritual strength in the Umbra, and the presence of Kinfolk in the Third Ward. Archimedes adds that Juniper Cross could serve as a good staging ground and suggesting the possibility of multiple strategic strongholds. Father Abe supports the idea, highlighting the Ratkin's resourcefulness and their ability to use the school as a base for hiding and sustaining themselves. Lunafreya concludes the discussion by officially designating Juniper Cross as the first foothold in the city, setting guidelines for its use as a duty rather than a permanent home and outlining plans for its protection and development.

Notes:
- Investing in the Juniper community happens at a spiritual and physical level and will impact Caern/community mechanics. (mechanics in process)
- Community Tasks are things the community has specifically asked for. These will have higher rewards. (mechanic in process)
- If for any reason there are no community tasks available, you may substitute donations of time in 10hr increments (We love short stories with the tickets)
- Because of the nature of the community, and it's relationship with The People, money is not especially good at investing spiritually, though it still has all of it's mundane applications and powers. Resources work in a 2:1 ratio when invested directly.
- Investments in the community that don't fit nicely in other buckets will go into the Misc group and be weighed case by case.
- All other investments are a 1:1 ratio
- Investing backgrounds takes them out of play for the month.
- SPECIAL NOTE: The community and spirits are watching, undermining other characters will add negatives to our relationships with this community.
