Lee's Rat Emporium
Small Bar/Lee Bradly, Owner/Bias Against Wussies
Seedier than seedy, even the ageing jukebox appears drunk as it slurs
out oldies at half speed. Lee, an ork, is smashed most of the time, never
bothering to clean the place up resulting in a good half foot layer of
beer cans, napkins, and vomit covering the floor. Lee serves two kinds
of drinks: Beer (one brand, known simply as "beer") and whiskey (one kind,
known simply as "whiskey"). All drinks are served in large mugs....including
the whiskey.
Neurotics
Medium Nightclub/Sam Fragment, Owner/Subtle Bias Against Everybody
It is impossible to spend more than five minutes in Neurotics without
acquiring the unnerving feeling that everybody believes you want to kill
them. In turn you tend to feel a bit threatened over the possibility that
they may be thinking the same thing about you. Granted, the general decor
of the nightclub doesn't help: It is an array of flashing lights and large
trideo screens depicting unprovoked acts of violence. Even the bartenders
and waitresses are nervous, frequently spilling and dropping drinks for
no apparent reason. Needless to say certain speed freaks who thrive on
this type of chaos make this their favorite hang out.
Bad Vibes
Small Nightclub/Allison Preacher, Owner/Bias Against Non-Magicians
The most disturbing thing about Bad Vibes is that you almost never hear
anybody talking. The music is rather subdued and sitarish like, nobody
really dances that much, and you rarely see any outward hostilities. Everybody
communicates either through signals or by sliding pieces of paper to one
another. If the club is perceived astrally a magician is certain to notice
that the place has an enormous background count, so high that virtually
any attempt at magical expression would be engulfed by it. Many magicians,
and virtually all shamans, avoid the place completely while other continue
to patronize it when looking for a magic user whose methods veer towards
the darker side of the profession.
Stupids
Small Bar/Eerk Fleck, Owner/Bias Against Intelligent People
Located right next to a mental asylum, "Stupids" acquired it's incredibly
politically incorrect name by hiring people too mentally deficient to operate
alone in society, but too well to go into the institution. The result has
been the acquisition of diligent, yet rather inept, workers who can usually
get your order from the bar to your table, but only after fifteen tries
to get the order correct. The bar is run by Eerk Fleck, an elf, who is
mentally perfectly normal unless you take into account his preoccupation
with plastic explosives.
Fourth Down
Large Bar/Brutis Clay, Owner/Strong Bias Against Fans Of Non-Local Sports
Teams
If you want to get yourself hurt really, really quick then cheer for
the wrong team at the Forth Down. The patrons are maniacal in their devotion
to the local teams and anybody ever making the slightest of slip up will
find themselves clobbered in an instant. Most of the patrons are security
guards, thugs, and heavies from all walks of life who are willing to put
their differences aside for a few hours of heavy drinking. Many patrons
are large and cybered, as is the owner, Brutis, a troll and former combat
sport player who apparently possesses everything but cyber nose hairs.
He has extensive contacts within the local cyber and bio-ware trades, both
legal and illegal. |
