When: October 31st

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.

Deep fried. Topped with melted queso and bacon bites.

[If he's going to make her hungry mentioning a food they don't have she'll just keep going. Misery loves company.]

... You're kidding.

[That sounds like a heart attack.]

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

[She wasn't allowed to eat deep fried or fatty foods like bacon when she was little. She maybe got into them a bit too much after she was healthy enough for it.]
shiro2hero: (how to look leader like step 1)

Yeah I'm... going to have to pass. On that.

[She laughs loud right then, her metal hand squeezing the back of the chair as she bent over to the point it creaked.]

I'm sure that's not the craziest thing you've ever eaten.

I... really don't think I can answer that question fairly.

[He was in space. Traveling with aliens. He's got an unfair advantage in this arena.]

[The laughter fades as she turns to stare at him with a glint in her eye.]

Okay, now I know you've eaten way crazier things than friend broccoli with bacon and cheese. Spill.
shiro2hero: (nnnnnnno that's not happening)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-22 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He... sighs.]

I was stationed on an alien ship during a war. I... really don't have a name for a lot of what we had to eat.

[For a while, anyway. Until Hunk took over - bless him.]

[Her eyebrows go up a bit. She hadn't gotten to meet enough people who have been to space, really.]

Alien grub? I'm gonna guess that manages to top beetleworms. What did most of it taste like? Did you try different stuff on every planet?

A... lot of it looked and tasted like gelatin.

Plain gelatin.

Except it was green.

[Her eyes go a bit wide but then her eyes cut just a bit. She maybe looks just a bit disbelieving.] Jello. You lived off green alien jello.

Okay I take it back. Space jello can't be that bad. ...Right?
shiro2hero: (guys i am so tired)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2021-11-28 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Jello implies it had flavor.

This was... gelatin.

[The look on her face was one of disgust but the more she thinks about it the more it turns into a grosses out shrug.]

As long as it doesn't taste like tapioca.
