PB Paper House
PB Paper House is passion project, started by two sisters with a dream of creating a newspaper that would one trial rival the Rynmere Gazette. Eventually, the younger of the two women, Rose Bones, married and opted to leave the company, leaving her sister, Penny Bones, the sole owner and operator. For the last ten arcs, Penny has put her blood, sweat, and tears into her work, scrounging up enough money to buy their first printing press - second hand from a certain rival newspaper overseas - and has taken it upon herself to learn its workings in case she should need to perform any maintenance work upon it.
While welcoming to strangers, Penny asks many questions and rarely gives anything up herself. This could be attributed to her history as a reporter and somewhat... strange mannerisms, but she is pleasant and always interest to see what she can learn from those around her. It should be noted that the business itself, which hardly looks functional at all from its alleyway entrance, is minimalist at best. Much of the lower floor is filled with stacks of paper rolls, taller than any man, and clunky machinery. In the back are rows of cubicle offices where employees would sit (if there were employees), to write up their stories and submit them for review. One of them resembles an art studio, where Penny swears will a top honor when they can acquire an full-time commission artist (2D), but in the mean time it remains mostly unused.
In fact, the business struggles. They have no major foothold in the city, and as of Ashan 720, they have not been able to garner attention from any Merchant guild. With only Penny running the space, it limits the stories she can pursue and so she must extend her services typing up records for nearby companies and government offices, or creating pamphlets for bounty boards and funerals.

Other Information: Penny Bones is a wiry woman, shaped similarly to a willow stalk with angular shoulders and tiny hands. Her face is average at best, her nose a bit upturned and rather stunted, always pink with a thin upper lip that gives the impression of a perpetual worry. While perhaps a bit blindsided in her ambitions and eccentric nature, she is a shrewd business woman, putting her work above all else. Despite her positive approach to her career, her sister, Rose, is convinced she is jealous of her and her marriage to mutual childhood friend, Benji Copper.
