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.

Oh boy. What is going on there?

"You meet some interesting people the more you talk to strangers," Luz managed to say, trying not to think of the implications of imbuing the things Varian was just talking about and doing her best not to judge crazy pants actions like that. "Maybe the Vile blood makes it so he doesn't die from it?"

Grasping at straws at that point.

"They're both really great people from what I've seen! They were helping out a lot during the last months of Deerington, and Korra told me about how active they were in trying to get supplies for others. I'll admit that I'm a little more familiar with Korra than them though, since she was helping me when I was having my whole thing."

"You seriously do. And genuinely, he drank like... an entire tin of my glow pain in Deerington, before he got vileblood. He really can just...do that. By himself."

He tries not to think about it anymore. It just hurts his head.

"Korra's a friend, to be sure- but I've known Mako a lot longer. I um... we've been through a lot together. But I'm really glad they're all still here."

"Huh. So he's just like that then."

Cool. Ok. More crazy things. Why not?

"Of course you have. Hasn't Mako been in Deerington longer than Korra has, or am I wrong? Then again, I might have just met and connected with Korra first. I'm with you though: I'm glad there are more of them from their own world. It's comforting to have that."

"He's just like that."

Just another crazy thing to add to the crazy pile.

"Um, I think Mako's been here longer? But I got to know Korra after I knew Mako, soo opposite of you, really. But yeah. It's easier to have someone from home...though...stressful, too. Always worried about them."
imaglyphwitch: (Rough start)

"Koo-kay."

Yup, that was definitely a character, but Luz liked people who challenged her perception of things, even if that meant he should definitely have died!

"Actually, I also met Mako first. But after that was when I really started living at the house with Eda and Margot, so I didn't see Mako awhile, and right before Eda left, I met Korra. We vibed and she definitely helped me with dealing when Eda woke up."

Aww, that's...nice at least. He offers her a little smile.

"I'm really glad that she was able to help you."

"He's a nice guy! A bit standoffish, but real nice and definitely helpful."

Wu seemed really great too.

"I was really lucky to get to know her! I have to go and hang out with her again! It's been a little while since we lived together."
