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.

[Which would explain why those flowers bloomed when she brought up Varian's name. Abilities being tied to a person's emotions isn't completely unheard of where she’s from.]

Wow. That's pretty cool. Before coming here, I probably would've thought it was impossible, but after hearing other people talk about their worlds, it doesn't seem that way.

Thanks for explaining it. Sorry if it was a weird question.

[It absolutely explains those flowers. Those ridiculous flowers are full of love and there's nothing Fern can do about it.]

It's cool, my whole deal is pretty weird. I don't mind questions.

So like, what's your world like? You don't got weird stuff going on there?

[She has no problem sharing things about where she's from. Whether or not Fern will consider them weird is up to him.]

Let's see. Is time travel weird? I don't think everyone here has that. We also have people with special abilities - like super speed, shooting out energy blasts, being able to fly.
laminae: (:x)

None of that's weird to me, but I don't think that kinda junk is common in most universes. [Time travel certainly isn't.]

But man! Being able to fly, that'd be sweet.

Flying would be pretty neat. No need for public transport.

[She laughs softly, remembering how much she relied on public transport to get around back home.]

Probably be a lot of trial and error trying to get it right.

Right! No more buses and junk!

[Not that he took the bus often in Deerington, but it happened on occasion.]

Yeah, but it'd be fun.

Oh, definitely fun.

[Laurel agrees with a nod before her gaze falls on the stage.]

Dang. There's another performer coming. I'll catch you later, okay?

[She gives Fern a bright smile before heading back to her seat.]
