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.

[Serving, no. Preventing weird alien children from just trying drinks that they find curious even if it's not theirs? Not so much. Also difficult to account for.

He glances over at her, giving her a look like her question is funny.]


No. Why should I avoid the night? Because humans dislike the dark?

[The comment makes her blink for a few moments before she shakes it off.]

No. That's not it at all. You're way too young to be out here. Human or not.

[Especially after drinking.]

What's your name?
peripheries: (women!! amirite fellas?)

Nagisa. Kaworu Nagisa.

[He puts his hand into his pockets. He is young, as much as he likes to claim only his form appears to be young.]

The younger you are, the more dangerous the night then?

I'm Laurel. Laurel Lance.

[She looks around for a moment, keeping an eye on their surroundings. It's quiet.]

I think the dark can be dangerous for anybody, but younger people can be especially vulnerable. I've seen it firsthand back home.

Oh?

What happens back in your home home?

[He doesn't seem concerned, unfortunately, more curious than anything.]

[She won't go into great detail, but Laurel could keep it general.]

Kids and teens can be taken by some really bad people. The kind of people who would do them harm.

[Laurel watches him for a moment.]

You not worried about that?
