Regina would like to acquire Witch's Island to use both as housing for her extended family and to open a business.
She would like to use the castle, its grounds and the island its on as an event destination, ie. weddings, parties, small concerts could be held in the rose garden; a small, elegant carriage house could serve as a honeymoon getaway or an overnight stay for bridge & groom during a wedding, or celebrities in need of a break; the rose gardens and castle grounds would be open for tours; Evie Grimhilde would have a branch of the clothing shop she'll be opening on the grounds; Maddie Hatter will have a tea shop and run afternoon teas; and so on. In addition, she'd be hiring staff to help run the castle, protect the guests (and the family from the guests in consideration of future plotting), transport from Fayren to the island.
A few questions:
1) Is it possible to combine business and housing in this way? 2) If so, can the **** for a new business be applied to the income requirement? 3) If not 2, can the stars budgeted to acquiring a location for a new business be deducted from the cost of the Witch's Island? 4) If not 2 or 3, is there a way to obtain a business loan in Genessia? :D
Sorry to plague already busy mods with these questions. Regina *really* wants this castle and the rest of the family/cast is excited about the idea. Plus with Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto coming in to try to claim Fayren, having a castle as a siege location/base could be a lot of fun.
