Headquarters

Headquarters is a location inside Riley's mind in Inside Out.

It is the home of Riley's emotions, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. It is the most direct connection between Riley's mind and the outside world, and is the site of production of the memories, which are stored temporarily in it. It also houses in permanence the five core memories, which are stored in a special circular compartment.

Within the mind, Headquarters takes the form of an immaculate, round dome-like house on top of a thin stalk. It is very high up and somewhat separated from the rest of the mind. Its interior is overall of purple hues, very round with a somewhat organic, irregular quality.

The front end of Headquarters features an oval screen which shows what Riley sees. Just in front of it is a control panel, which is one way the emotions can give their feedback to the situation Riley is in. Five windows open on the back, giving a view on the rest of the mind.
