There is electricity in the basement, but only a few spaces to put plugs. There is one light-bulb on the cieling with a chain you pull to turn it on. This will turn on, for now. Until the light bulb runs out.
Also, to clear a few things up. There is a small, working sink in the corner of the basement behind a matress. Upstairs, on the ground level above the basment is the ruins of a burnt store. All there is is one huge room with burnt down walls. That's why the basment has been ignored.

I have a few more things that will be found out later to add to the plot. I'll tell you ahead of time now, but I will start all of the plot-twisters when I feel nessesary.
1) Behind a large stack of matresses there is a really small door with no doorknob, but it can be broken into. On the other side of the door is a small safe with the code 12-03-39. The code is written on the bottom in roman numerals. The safe contains the plans of the building, some legal documents, and nearly $5,000 (about 3,540 EUR for my brittish friends) in cash.
2) If possible a new character will be introduced to the story.
3) The group in the basement are found by a group of people who decide they want the basement for themselves. Or, another version of this idea, a group of cops make it through the city in disguise and stumble upon the basement, and decide to sleep there for a night, unknowing it had other ocupants.
I'll add more once I think of them. I'm not guarenteeing all these will be used, they are just potential ideas.

You'd be astonished at the intimate stories, hidden struggles, and heartfelt dreams that people are willing to reveal if only they find someone who'll truly listen. — Arcticus
