[ action | OPEN ]

Who: Tannusen and/or whoever!
Where: Genessia City - Velvet Lust (Please read that link if you're gonna tag in!)
What: A general Velvet Lust catch-all post for August. Back-tagging in the future, and back-dating now or later are both fine. And continuing your threads in old VL posts is also fine!
Warnings: Will add if anything comes up.

🌟 OTAs, and closed threads between people who aren't Tannusen are also welcome!
(Please note it in your subject line, so I don't barge in!)

There are rules! And there are enforcers. Characters (or NPCs!) who step out of line will be removed from the premises.

A. [OPEN - obligatory Tannusen prompt, now with engagement ring]

It was night-time, and Velvet Lust was open for business. Tannusen could be found either at the bar downstairs, sitting on one of the stools instead of helping pour drinks, or upstairs at that bar trading commentary with the snarky bartender on duty. Either way, he was drinking tea.

The Faerie's right hand was scarred with burns only a few months old, now, from gripping a knife hot enough to cook flesh. A tentacle marking of additional burn scarring looped up and vanished into the sleeve of his suit. A ring was present on his right ring finger, over the top of the shiny scarring there; a white gold claddagh.

B. [OTA - the pocket angel prompt]

Upon the downstairs bar sat a small, ornate ball on a folded bit of cloth to keep it from rolling, its top half opened like flower petals and a colorful, six-inch tall hologram of a six-winged angel projecting from it. Its cheerful voice could be heard from a distance away, despite how tiny it was! (Note: This NPC is played by Squid!)

C. [OPEN or LOCKED - that body swapping event]

(A reminder for anyone looking for somewhere to play body swapping shenanigans; Velvet Lust is open all night, every night, from sun down to sun up. That means it was open when the event started, and open again when it ended at midnight and everyone suddenly switched back. Feel free to play with any of it at Velvet, if you want! OTAs, threads locked to people who aren't Tannu, etc, are always welcome as well.)

D. [OTA or LOCKED - choose your own adventure]

Of course, plenty of patrons came to Velvet Lust without intending to seek out the proprietor of the place. Whether to meet up with friends or just to chat up anyone they ran into, or perhaps to just linger outside for one reason or another...

E. [LOCKED - current Velvet Lust staffers]

Before the bar opened for the night, Tannusen could be found on either floor of the establishment. Stocking things, fixing something, or... even lounging around as a tiger. Staff were always allowed to come and go for several hours before opening time.

D. LOCKED to that tiger guy (Tannysin or something like that)

[He'd seen the flyer advertising for a cook the other day, and knowing he needed to find some more solid work sooner rather than later, Jag decided to make his way down to this "Velvet Lust" some people liked to talk about. Back home, he wasn't particularly fond of places like it: too many people, too many destinies flying about the place. It always made for a sort of static in his head. The time he'd spent in Genessia though was proving to be a sort of reprieve. His visions seemed to be quieter here. He still couldn't control when they came, but they came less frequently and less intensely, at least so far...

...pushing his luck or not, though, he needed money to live here and while he'd never been a cook before, he'd waited tables and had often thought of going further. It was easy work, and kept him in the back, away from patrons from other worlds that may want to tempt his powers into more intensity. Still, he probably had to interview first, and that meant meeting the boss of this place.

As soon as he stepped in, even has he made his way to the bar, he could tell there was something...more about this place. He couldn't see it, which in itself was strange, but there was something...other than what it presented, something of a...muchness that was hidden behind a mundane facade, to put it in Lewis Carroll terms, and it was both comforting and unnerving to feel it.

There was a muchness to the white-haired man sipping tea as he approached, too, and while this man's particular 'muchness' was singular to himself, he'd become so used to so many people having something more to them around here he didn't pay it any mind. He cleared his throat as he approached, trying to put a certainly into his tone before he spoke.

Pardon me. I'm...looking for the owner? Tannusen? [He speaks the name uncertainly, like he's not sure he's saying it properly.] I'm interested in work, saw a flyer at the temp housing...?
