# AXIS DECK: wear (wear and occupancy state). 14 cards, OCC01-OCC14. All original writing.
# deck-description: Wear and occupancy state. From pristine to abandoned-and-returned-to; how recently and how hard the place has been used.

## OCC01 | Pristine
short: Pristine
essence: pristine and waiting to be lived in
text: Present it pristine: freshly finished, untouched, every edge crisp and every surface still deciding how it will be used; beautiful, a little nervous, waiting to be lived in.
registers: luxury, civic, craft

## OCC02 | First Week
short: First Week
essence: its first week of use
text: Present it in its first week: finishes still bright, a few arrangements still being argued with, the pleasant disorder of people learning where things go.

## OCC03 | Thoroughly Lived In
short: Lived In
essence: thoroughly lived in
text: Present it as thoroughly lived in: the paths people take worn into the floor, favourite places visibly favoured, comfort earned by repetition.
registers: lived-in, dignified, craft, playful, luxury

## OCC04 | Honestly Worn
short: Worn Honest
essence: honestly worn, nothing neglected, everything told
text: Present it honestly worn: edges softened, paint thinned at every touch point, steps dished by feet, nothing neglected but everything told.

## OCC05 | Mended
short: Mended
essence: mended with visible, proud repairs
text: Present it as mended: repairs visible and proud, a cracked surface stitched with care, mismatched replacements chosen for love rather than match.
registers: lived-in, dignified, craft, playful

## OCC06 | Shabby Grandeur
short: Shabby Grand
essence: shabby grandeur kept up by pride
text: Present it as shabby grandeur: the ornament still magnificent, the budget visibly smaller, gilt dulled and carpets threadbare yet brushed, pride maintaining what money no longer can.
registers: luxury, dignified, lived-in, civic, playful

## OCC07 | Mid-Transition
short: Mid-Move
essence: caught between two versions of itself
text: Present it in mid-transition: half-packed or half-unpacked, a new life stacked against an old one, the sense of a place between two versions of itself.

## OCC08 | Between Seasons
short: Between Seasons
essence: waking or settling with the turn of the season
text: Present it as the season turns: shutters just opened or just closed, the first fire of the year or the last, a place waking or settling.

## OCC09 | Abandoned and Returned To
short: Returned To
essence: abandoned and returned to
text: Present it as abandoned and returned to: dust sheets, plants that took over, light entering where it was not invited, and recent footprints proving someone has come back to claim it.
excludes: TMP05

## OCC10 | Peak Occupancy
short: At Peak
essence: at the moment of greatest use
text: Present it at the moment of greatest use: crowded, warm, loud, every surface in service, the architecture working as hard as the people.
registers: playful, lived-in, dignified, civic, luxury
excludes: ALR10, TMP07, LGT09

## OCC11 | After Closing
short: After Closing
essence: just after closing, with a private life taking over
text: Present it just after closing: chairs up, floors wet, lights half out, a last few people lingering and a private life taking over from a public one.

## OCC12 | Lovingly Over-Tended
short: Over-Tended
essence: lovingly over-tended
text: Present it as lovingly over-tended: every detail polished by someone's devotion, a little too perfect, as if the care itself were the personality.
registers: luxury, devotional, civic, dignified, lived-in

## OCC13 | Weathered by the Elements
short: Weathered
essence: weathered by sun, salt, dust or damp
text: Present it weathered by sun, salt, dust or damp: pigments faded to the colour of memory, surfaces textured by the climate rather than by neglect.

## OCC14 | Freshly Emptied
short: Emptied
essence: freshly emptied, the architecture suddenly audible
text: Present it freshly emptied: rooms echoing, pale rectangles where things hung, the architecture suddenly audible, and a single new arrival able to change everything.
excludes: TMP05, TMP10, TMP14
