Editing The House on Half Street (section)

==History ==
It was given to Verona by [[Ken]] as a place for her to hide the furs,<ref>“How was your errand?” Lucy asked.<br><br>“I guess we’ll see if my hiding spot is better than Edith’s,” Verona said.  “Ken helped me pick the location and tuck it away out of sight, and I had him forget where he put it as part of the gift.  Then I copied what Edith and her group did, but… I think I did it better, if I may say so myself.  I’ll show you later, if you want.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/03/20 Excerpt] from [[Shaking Hands 9.12]]</ref> he then promptly forgot about it.

After [[Lis]] became [[Kennet|Kennet's]] new city spirit she gave it back to Verona on condition of a statue to commemorate [[John Stiles|John]], [[Edith James|Edith]] joining the council and a temporary truce.<ref>- [[Left in the Dust 16.5]]</ref>

The [[Kennet Undercity|Undercity]] version of the House on Half Street is occupied by stuck arounds which Verona cleared out before claiming the place as her demesne. She also freed two people that had been taken hostage and tied to a radiator.<ref>- [[Left in the Dust 16.7]]</ref>

In order to mark her claim [[Verona Hayward|Verona]] slept with [[Jeremy Clifford|Jeremy]] in the house three times, afterwards she claimed the hosue as her [[demesne]].<ref>“Let this be my claim.  I claim the House on Half Street, the property given to me by the city spirit Ken, by the city spirit Lis, and marked by me over these last few days.  Here, I have shed sweat, I have shed tears, I have shed blood, all earned.  I even threw in the fourth bit of Self if you want it.  I claim this space in Kennet above, in Kennet below, and in a version of Kennet yet to be realized.  I claim the connections in those three versions of this space and no others.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/04/left-in-the-dust-16-7/ Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.7]]</ref>

Verona is planning on turning it into a bookstore.<ref>There’s a certain secret bookstore that’s in the works.  If you don’t mind it being really far from done… there’s some cool books you won’t find anywhere else.”
