The Divine Comedy(OOC), Snowfall Options

[Coldhand Jake]

The Divine Comedy represents 4 floors of a remodeled, reinforced warehouse in downtown LA. It is in a rough neighborhood, with gang presence, as well as it's share of the downtrodden. However, the Comedy is a haven for those with the manners to not start shit.

The lines out front are often long, because the front door is a security checkpoint, walking in scans your PAN for an ID, charges a 15 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) cover, logs your entry, and scans for guns and cyberware(Rating 5 scanner). If someone has not been specifically invited by Jake or the girls, people are asked to leave their guns and ammo in the car, and unload any cyberguns. Otherwise, even the most bristly bladeboy is let in, but his ID already has been flagged as "Potentially dangerous" and he will be easily noticeable by the bouncers using their AR overlays. There are no scans for mages or technomancers, as the Divine Comedy does not discriminate against them, and those scanners ain't cheap. Jake is a legal SINner, and this is a legal club, and any trouble, he will report. If you are on the list, you are allowed to bring in anything as large as a heavy pistol as long as it stays concealed. Steve is not stupid, and will use his discretion as to what you can and cannot bring in.

Coming in the main entrance leads you into Purgatory, the club's quite well-manned restaurant. The cuisine is consistantly rated some of the best in the city for a place like this, called "5 star quality in 3 star dishes in a 3 star town, for a 5 star experience". The food's presentation is to the filling and delicious rather to the haughty overpriced works of art cuisine some places serve. The bar is also stocked with some of the best, as well as the most popular brands. Private booths with audio jamming screens provide conversation with resistance to eavesdropping. Jake himself usually bartends from the Purgatory floor, and keeps an eye out for those with special permissions and invitations. The AR here is mostly professional, menus, drink lists, selections of tasteful dining music...

Descending from Purgatory leads one through another soundwasher into the Inferno, the Comedy's strip club. Little shame is made in what is given here, women willing to get completely naked on stage and have little reservation in what they will do to themselves with an audience watching. Kink is exceedingly rare, but happens, but a girl might come out on the stage with a guy, another girl, or a toy about every other night. The heads of security here are the twins, Lara and Kara, a pair of ex-runner elves with the skills on the stage, and in kicking someone out. The AR is a dark, smoky interface with profiles and email drops for the girls, as well as tipping accounts. The Comedy is not a gentleman's club, and does not run a prostitution ring...but some of the girls do thing on their own time, and they do call Jake "Big Daddy" to tease him. A charismatic sort might find an invite to the VIP upstairs, if he or she impresses...

Coming up one floor from Purgatory is the Paradise, a throbbing, DJed dance floor with multiple AR overlays, social networking, a P2.0 tracker, and a dedicated bar. DJ Doomtrain does a nightly show of throbbing synthbeats mixed with music as varied as old school hiphop to the latest in electronica and metal, and simsense overlays provide mild emotional emphasis to spontaneous video he creates live. He does his job well, and his P2.0 ratings are enviable.
Above the dance floor, and accessible by stairs is the VIP, which looks down on the dance floor, but is shielded against the throbbing music enough to hear a whisper or a lover's gasp.

Above all this is the apartment Jake and Mei share, it is accessible only by a key-locked command in the elevator, or by a locked stairwell. Those with invites to share shadow data with Jake and the girls are usually brought upstairs to enjoy a meal, and talk in their home. This is not a offer given to just anyone, but people Jake, as a fixer, thinks can be trusted.

Let's get this started.
