the grand opening of the raccoon room

Who: YOU AND YOUR BEST BUDS
What: The Grand Opening of the Raccoon Room
When: October 31st
Where: The Raccoon Room in Cellar Door

Content Warnings: N/A for now

Welcome to the Raccoon Room! Code


You find a green door on a townhouse nestled in the middle of a long, cute cobblestoned street. There's a raccoon logo emblazoned on the door. When you enter, you're greeted by sumptuous green velvet drapery, a marble statue of a familiar looking guy with devil horns on his head, and surly ticket taker (Mako, rather unhappily wearing a Victorian style vampire outfit, including vampire fangs) who will make sure that you're paying your fair share for your ticket. That's either a nice rock, a nice shell, or a beautiful feather. If you don't have anything that's worth the right amount, he'll ask for more, or give you drink tickets if you over paid. Does Mako know what makes a feather beautiful? Who knows. It's all subjective here.

You enter the venue through heavy velvet curtains. The light is dim, there are tables scattered everywhere with plush chairs and flickering candles. It's a large room, but it feels intimate. You find a seat, get a drink, or take a look around.

At 8:00pm sharp, the show begins, with Wu, dressed in his grown, flowering top hat, made by Fern, and an impeccable green tuxedo with tails, a gold cape and fake vampire teeth, takes the mic.

"Welcome, welcome to the Raccoon Room! I'm so, so, so glad that you're all here. Things are dreary and dangerous outside, but in here, sit back, relax, and enjoy yourselves."

And with that, he waves the first performer on.

Throughout the night, you'll see Scorpia and Zari Tarazi sing, Fritter (Wu's raccoon omen) and Pabu the fire ferret perform tricks, and the headliner, Ryan Akagi of Chicken Choice Judy, rock out. Wu comes up between the sets and vamps, makes jokes, and applauds the performers, adding plugs to come talk to him if you want to perform.

Over at the bar, Mako's moved on from taking tickets to making drinks. You can order any old beer, wine, or cocktail, or the Jade Dragon, a speciality absinthe cocktail Mako created for the Raccoon Room.

Feel free to top level, make your own night of it! Your esteemed host will be a bit preoccupied, but this space is for Sleepers to come, enjoy themselves, and mingle.

If your character wants to perform, let Wu know.

Hm-mm. [ She just replies with a nonchalant sound.

This isn't the sort of thing Ange would usually be doing. But it is technically still Ruby's birthday, even if it won't be for long anymore, and Ange is already way too weak when it comes to a specific one-eyed girl. Saying no to Ruby is hard on a regular day, which ups the difficulty of it to straight up impossible on Ruby's birthday of all days.

It's why Ange is here. Part of Ruby's little mission. Because Ruby desires so. She even put on a cloak herself, just to play into the theme more. The things she does to make a girl happy.. ]


Seems like they've already closed. I don't think anyone is around anymore by now.

[Ange is a trooper. She really is. An inspiration to anyone in Deerington on how to handle a relationship.

Ruby grins and glances takes a look around before joining Ange at her side.]


That's perfect~!

Then we can sneak in and set this guy up.

Then tomorrow we wait for a text from Wu to show us Mako absolutely losing it when he sees this.

[She keeps on pulling the wagon toward the door.]

Check and see if the doors unlocked-

If we can roll this right in and skedaddle we'll be in the clear.
entreats: (i heard an unhappy ending)

[ DON'T REMIND HER OF THIS BETRAYAL TO MAKO...

But sometimes the happiness of your girlfriend has to go above the dignity of your pal, huh. Sorry, Mako, she'll make it up to you one day. For now Ange just steps closer towards the building, over to the doors. ]


Surely they wouldn't actually keep the doors unlocked at night, right? [ That just doesn't sound like a good idea in a place where actual monsters wander around sometimes.

She grabs the door handles, pulling on it, but.. ]


Right. Locked. [ She turns to glance back at Ruby. ] We'll have to find another way in to unlock them from the inside so we can move it in.

[SHE IS REMINDING HER!

She frowns slightly when it's confirmed that the doors are locked. She steps back and observes the building for a minute before she gets an idea.]


Oh! The windows! We could sneak in through them.

We just have to get up there.
entreats: (so in love with the wrong world)

I guess that's the next option. [ Considering they sure aren't going to get through a locked door - especially when Ange isn't sure yet if her magic is strong enough to open it without destroying the doors. She doesn't want to wreck Wu's proud little theater project right after its opening.

She, too, casts a glance up at the windows before looking back at Ruby. ]


.. did they teach you any wall climbing techniques in monster hunter school?

[ Look, they apparently taught her about how to fall, it's not like it's an outlandish possibility! ]
