Who: YOU AND YOUR BEST BUDS
What: The Grand Opening of the Raccoon Room
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.

[ Mako's had to explain this a few times now and he's still not any better at it, still shifts awkwardly, looking up at Wu and Bolin on the stage for a moment. ]
We have bending, for one. Stuff like— [ Mako glances up, then holds his palm up and flicks his fingers, making flame appear in the palm of his hand. It dances there like a candle for a second, and he snuffs it out. ] —that. A lot of people can do that now, which is a lot more like home, but in the dream it was just me and a couple other people. My brother's an earthbender.
It's hard to explain. It's really different.

Laurel watches in silent awe as the fire appears out of nowhere in his hand. He made it look really easy, but she could imagine that having such a skill probably took a few years of practice to master. Those kinds of abilities would only be possible for metahumans where Laurel is from ]
So bending is like being able to create or manipulate fire or earth? Or anything similar I guess.
But it does sound complicated. Thanks for trying to help me understand better.

[ Probably in the audience unless Korra decided to keep to herself tonight, too. She's been harder to reach since they got to this new city. ]
Anyway, firebending's less of a big deal here because most people with my blood type can use fire now. Been trying to teach them how to burn their houses down.
no subject
[ Her natural curiosity makes Laurel want to ask some more questions about it, but maybe she'll save them for another time. ]
Yeah, the different blood types have different abilities, right? I'm a paleblood myself, but I haven't seen any powers manifest yet. [ A slight shrug. ] It's good you're able to teach people how to handle their powers.
