Drawpile Wing (location)

The Drawpile Wing is a location in the BVA that houses everything that has to do with the community Drawpile for the Egg PAC. Along with staff-only offices and amenities, the main attraction is the two-story digital mural wall that visitors can draw on. Computer workstations are also available for those who prefer that.

Most notably, this is the coldest location in the BVA building, where the thermostat in every room is set below freezing at all times due to the area being (almost) entirely staffed by penguins.

About the Area
Before entry, visitors must pass through the airlock on both of the wing’s floors, whether you’re coming up from the stairs or elevator, in order to control temperature changes. The normal operating temperature of this wing is about -6° Celsius (20° Fahrenheit), so winter clothing is required for those not used to the cold. Winter jackets and penguin costumes are provided on loan, but the penguins tend to not wash them and the jackets may or may not be of the RosaJon kind...

The official entrance is on the 118th floor, where penguin staff greets you and provides visitors with a drawing tablet if they so choose to participate. There are special drawing tablets for the big mural screen that pinpoints to the exact area a user wants (requires setup on the user’s part). The 119th floor leads straight into the guest ice rink entry or the upstairs drawing room entry for the topmost drawing platform (see below for both).

Drawing Room
This is the only room that reaches two stories high, in order to accommodate the big digital mural wall used for Drawpiles. Visitors can stand anywhere on the ground or on two of the designated platforms to draw from using a drawing tablet provided by staff. For those who prefer a monitor, they may draw at one of the 20 workstations available to them on the ground. The first platform, by default, starts at half a story high, while the second platform is always accessible from both the main and second floor.

Once the group drawing is finished, both platforms temporarily collapse and everyone gets to see what mess they made.

For the purposes of crediting artists, contributors are asked for their usernames before it is posted onto the ProtonBooru, as well as a quote if they have one. Due to the nature of the staff, Drawpile Booru posts are subject to error and guests are urged to check in with Eudyptes to check for errors.

Staff Offices
As the main staff people of the wing, Eudyptes and Fayelinya have their own offices (the latter of which shares a space with Scelis). Despite having helped the staff in the past, Kyupo does not have an office here (at least, for the time being).

The other penguins share an office located in the server room. They have small computer workstations they sit at, and the server towers are accompanied by ladders to help with height issues.

Eudyptes’ office is currently a mystery. Rumors suggest that it might double as an armory for the penguins instead of an "office," but that's a trade secret.

Fayelinya’s office is the only room in the entire wing that can be set to “reasonable temperatures” since she’s the only human on staff, at a max of 69° F (20.5° C). Out of respect, she doesn’t set it anywhere reasonable while her door is open or if Scelis is in her office, whom she started sharing a space with due to the events of the Digital Shadow invasion.

On the wall behind Faye's desk are the games she cleared throughout the year. However, in 2020 in particular, she’s only cleared three (as of November), so there are many blank frames on the wall. She frames other art, such as her favorite Drawpiles, some of the art she’s contributed to them, and posters of her favorite games.

It is also the only sound-padded room in the wing, as requested by Faye herself to reduce the noise pollution caused by her glitched phone that unexpectedly plays random meme sounds in random intervals. Though, she also takes advantage of this when playing her tuba, which tends to scare the penguins when played loudly. At night, she usually plays a lullaby or softer tune instead over the local intercom that broadcasts exclusively within the wing.

After the events of the Digital Shadow invasion, Scelis works in her own corner within Faye’s office. She has a small computer workstation like the other penguins have, but with a larger desk space. Her desk is the first one you see when entering, as Faye’s desk is hidden behind a conveniently-placed partition at the entrance due to shyness.

Copy/Storage Room
It’s a copy and storage room, what would you expect?

Break Room
The staff break room can be accessed from the entrance or within the staff-only hallway and is usually available for anyone visiting. Only cold-brew coffee and iced tea is served due to the temperature control. All tables, chairs, and sofas can be moved, usually done without warning by staff. This also serves as a refreshments area for the ice rink above.

Ice Rink
The second floor of the wing also contains a staff-only ice rink that’s specifically made for the penguins to roam in, usually filled with snow to emulate their habitat. This area has strict temperature control and is always set to the aforementioned “below freezing” temperatures. Even though it’s meant solely for the penguins, the area is open to the other BVA members in the winter on non-Drawpile nights, or whenever people want to play ice hockey, upon polite request from the penguins. The rink has guest and staff spectator stands for this very purpose, including access to the break room for refreshments on both sides. The stands go beyond the roof of the 119th floor slightly, but we don't talk about that.
