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.

[Varian's glad at least that Ryan seems to find some familiarity in the noise. That's...well, that's something.]
A...synthesizer?
[He's never heard of one of those before, but Ryan looks so goddamn earnest about this, of course, he's going to reach out and take the guy's hand. This isn't the first time he's experienced contact-based visions (thanks, Wu) but it's still a shock to the system. He's at least aware this is something he shouldn't dig too far into- people's memories are their own business. Still, this is fascinating and he leans in to look. ]
YES!! Yes, that's the exact sound! It was playing along with your music.
no subject
He pulls back once Varian confirms it as the sound he heard, but he still looks a little shaken.]
That shouldn't be possible. Min always played synth and he isn't here. And I didn't like replace him, so it wouldn't have been anyone else.
[But at the same time, it's hard to mistake a synthesizer for anything else really.]
no subject
Hmmmm, that's...odd. It was definitely that sound. Do you think your powers might have...I don't know, amplified that? Like, you were always used to him playing with you, so maybe your powers just...supplied that?
[It sounds crazy but so is him being able to shoot fire out of his hands now. Nothing is too wild to be discounted. ]
We know so little about our new powers. Maybe this is something they can just...do?
no subject
I...guess so? They've never done anything like that before. It's all been like, accidentally thinking my thoughts out loud, and feeling people's feelings, stuff like that.
[He can't deny that he was missing Min-Gi though, and he did wonder what Min would do with some of the songs...he frowns a little bit though.]
Kind of a bummer I couldn't actually hear it. Did, uh. ...Did it sound okay?
no subject
[It sucks that Ryan couldn't hear it himself, though. Though that's about right for the casual cruelty of this world. He offers a little smile.]
Yeah? I mean... it was definitely a new sound for me, but it sounded really good!
no subject
[It isn't self-deprecating though - he loves that about Min. They make a great team that way. As much as he tries, songs just don't feel complete without Min's parts.
Whatever he imagined must have sounded at least kind of okay though. He smiles just a little.]
Cool. Good. I don't want to go around ruining Min's reputation before he even gets here.
no subject
[He's almost sad Ryan is apart from him. But then...wishing for others to come to this place almost seems kind of cruel. There's a fine line between wanting them at your side again and not wanting them to suffer, he's learned.]
Don't worry! I'll give him a good word to people who don't even know about him yet. Maybe sure he has a great rep ready.
