[ Open Log | Somnifery | In Progess ]
WHO: All who wish to attend!
WHAT: The Grand Opening of Somnifery
WHERE: Via Argine Calopinace & Via Paolo Pelicano
WHEN: 9.00 pm to 5.00 am - June 13 [ Day 45 ]
A night for the romantic and adventurous was about to begin. The curtain was ready to open upon a premiere unlike any the city had seen b
before.
The backup generators were ready to go, following the earlier blackout situation, and at the entry to his kingdom Damien Crandall waited. He was dressed in a nicely tailored suit, his crow perched on his shoulder with a docile expression. Fifteen minutes of anticipation, and then it was time. The instant the hand on his watch hit 9.00, he gestured to the bouncers at the doors, smiling slightly as the doors flung wide to allow entry.
It began with a crowd of people held behind blue ropes, kept in something resembling a line as they waited for the opening. As the bouncers took their places, a low rumble moved through the assembly- a noise of impatience that quickly turned to murmurs of awe as the wall they stood along was illuminated from within by several thousand blue lights. After a few minutes of watching the display, one would notice the slightest variations in the brightness of the lights, creating a moving illusion not entirely dissimilar to the motion of tides. The majority of the crowd was too busy paying attention to their gradually thinning masses, however, and so it went largely unnoticed. Soon they were being ushered through a side door, the slow drone of bass weaving through the speakers.
A turquoise carpet was laid from the main entry to the curb, allowing VIP guests to simply step out of their vehicles before the valet whisked their cars away to parts unseen. As they entered the club, it seemed as if one was entering a submarine city, creating a facade not unlike a modern Atlantis. There seemed to be a myriad of entries in the space, all illusions to frame the steps and threshold to the interior.
Ascending these steps, one would find themselves in the first level of the club, a dance floor of deep blue, dark, winding, electronic dance beats thrumming through the LED floor. The bars were found on the higher levels, beginning with the second floor's hip-hop theme. The room was varying shades of purple, a simple bar running along with walls. One level farther, however, the tone was a blend of hot pink and blacklights, pounding gothic and industrial in the speakers.
Throughout all of these dance floors, there were upraised areas, metal balconies creating a second level for observation and some scattered cages for the patrons to dance in. This layout allowed for a rather eclectic look, letting anyone move about and take a bit of attention if they so desired.
The first floor had a pair of elevators tucked to opposite corners of the room, an architectural anomaly in the setup. A rather large bouncer stood before each, carefully awaiting identification before allowing entry to the black doors. Each of these was the only unlocked access to the upper levels, one for the individual families of the city.
The floor for the Monacello family was a design of modern yet dark tastes, creating an atmosphere just relaxing enough to compliment the calming music while still stimulating the senses. Behind the bar, two smartly dressed bartenders were ready to serve any request, be it for drinks, food orders, or drugs.
The Vescovo level had a lighter taste, though the classic feeling did not interfere with the modernist sense of the area. The bar was the focal point of the room, servers ready to cater to all the needs of their guests.
The party would continue until 5.00 AM, providing nothing disastrous occurred. Damien would do everything in his power to assure that nothing ruined this evening, no matter how drastic the means to his end were.
[OOC INFORMATION:
• This post is planned to be open June 13 to June 21, closing at midnight.
• It counts as one day in character (a Friday).
• This event will run in a series of sub-threads. You post a comment with your opening post here and define where it is taking place and whether it is open or closed in the subject, and characters can reply accordingly. You can be in more than one sub-thread if you wish to have your character be a social butterfly.
• You are allowed to do things in the game outside of the party, so long as it doesn't contradict events going on at the event, of course.
• Feel free to comment to the concerns/complaint box or IM the moderators for game-related question, and feel free to contact me (petticoat pretty on AIM) with any questions, etc. in regards to the venue.
• Once the event officially closes on June 21, no new sub-threads are to be created, but old ones can be wrapped up until June 25.
* ANYONE CAN COME TO THE PARTY but if you received an invitation from Dane/are a VIP (read: very important) guest then you are allowed to bypass the massive line that will form outside, and will not be subjected to a weapons check. The weapons check for all characters will be rather cursory, and the staff honestly doesn't care if you are armed as long as you are not armed excessively. If you do cause trouble, you will be promptly escorted from the premises. No questions asked.]
