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.

Teach a little science, clean up the rooms... double as a jungle gym for them. They could probably use just about anyone.

[There were all kinds of roles to fill over there. All kinds of needs to be met. Heck, he'd probably do some cooking if he were capable of it.]

Hmm, would they maybe want a volunteer to read to them? I'd do clean up, but I already kinda do enough of that at the house.
shiro2hero: (right ok pretend to listen and look cool)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-12 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
You know? I'm sure they'd like that.

Great! I wouldn't mind that at all!

You know, I don't think I'm that much older than them, but after everything that's happened, I can't bear thinking about kids suffering anymore. If I can find a way to make things a little better for them, I'd like to try.
shiro2hero: (incoming dad jokes hold on)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-13 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Then you'd probably be a great volunteer.
imaglyphwitch: (psyched)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-11-13 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be nice to do something good that doesn't involved blood magic and escaping monsters. Just simple volunteer work.

With voices. Maybe puppets. Probably a few small fireworks if I can manage it...

Please don't set the orphanage on fire.

[Look, he knows Varian - when you know that kid, and you hear the word 'fireworks', you get Nervous.]

What, why would I do that?! I mean, I wouldn't anyway, but I'd make sure to cast a shield if I were actually doing anything close to fireworks for real unlike last time !

shiro2hero: (what did i say about the tentacles)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-16 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Do... I want to hear about 'last time'?
imaglyphwitch: (befuddled)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-11-16 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
It was a school project. I actually didn't even get to do it, which was a good thing.

I was a bit more..."experimental" back then.
shiro2hero: (why am i awake at 3am)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-17 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
And... it involved fireworks.
imaglyphwitch: (Plenty excited)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-11-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah! I wanted a big finish!

At least, that was what I thought at the time.
