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.

Yeah, I already know of two people like that. My sister has been seeing someone.
[Laurel has her suspicions about another possible couple, but it hasn't been confirmed for sure.]
I'm just glad she had someone to look out for her - both here and back in the previous place.
no subject
Oh yeah? Someone outside of your home world? Who is it? I might know them.
[As much of an anti-social weirdo he is, Varian's at least quasi-aware that he talks to fairly large swathes of the population. ]
Yeah, knowing people aren't alone here...helps? It uh- it makes surviving this place a lot more bearable.
no subject
[Knowing a lot of people here is probably a good thing. But it also might be difficult to keep track of them all.]
It's always good to have that kind of support and back-up. There was a time when I didn't have that and it wasn't so great.
no subject
[Though this is getting a much bigger city these days- that's getting...tricky.]
Yeah, I know how that feels. [Though his was mostly self-inflicted. ] It's...definitely not ideal. Luckily, it's a lot harder to get away with that here.
no subject
It's incredible the amount of people around who are so willing to help. Without expecting anything in return.
[Laurel wants to give back if she can.]
Like I said to Luz earlier, tell me if you need anything.
no subject
Well, we kinda learned to look out for one another in the Dream. It carried on through here. We only have each other.
But thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm sure she did, too.
we could wrap up soon?
[It's one of the things that Laurel likes about her. She had really taken a shine to the younger girl.]
Anyway. I meant to ask if you were going to perform again or is it just a one off tonight?
works for me!
[He laughs, shaking his head.]
Probably a one-off, unless Wu needs help again- though I'm sure he'll manufacture a gooood reason. For now, I'm gonna keep using this as a date spot for me and Fern. [He dusts himself off.] Which now I've finished with this wiring, I should probably get back to.
/wraps it up!
[One of the nicest people she's met.]
Oh, okay. Well, I'm glad I got to see your one-off performance. [Giving him a smile.] I think it's a great date spot as well as a nice place in general.
But yeah, you go ahead and meet up with Fern again. Enjoy the rest of your night.
