<br/>​</div><div style="text-align: left">The One Night Stand is a place of legends, frequented by countless supernatural miscreants of Valesport regardless of the ancient appearance of the complex. In a less populated part of town by the docks, a line of closed businesses decorates either side of the street, with the eccentric bar seated right smack in the middle. From the outside, there’s little to the One Night Stand that sticks out, save for the small hanging sign with the name. A short walk from crumbling sidewalk to the door gives you a view of the entrance decorated in archaic symbols most wouldn’t be able to decipher – but sensitive souls might notice they resonate decaying dark energy, perhaps offering a warning to anyone who enters. <br/>
<br/>
This bar isn’t your normal dive bar.<br/>
<br/>
The policy is an open bar at the ONS, but usually, when a bartender is available, they're willing to serve. The main barroom branches directly from the entrance, and a collective of tables, chairs, and booths seem comfortably spaced for a large population looking to enjoy their privacy. The main counter is a different story, with stools tightly compacted for intimate conversations among the more social customers. Posters line the walls, stating various slogans, phrases, and obscure rules - but they're antiquated and falling apart, hinting at the true age of the run-down establishment. The floors and walls are wood, and surprisingly clean considering the sort of patrons the bar attracts. Foreign runic symbols are engraved every so often, ostensibly burned into the wooden surfaces evenly throughout the length of the building, and upon closer examination, one might note the strange and ancient magic they seem to contain.<br/>
<br/>
The windows are spaced and dreamily paned, giving the outside world an artistic and surreal appearance to the viewer. A worn down sofa and love seat set are also available near the fireplace in the farthest corner from the door, which appears out of place in the rough and tumble main drinking hub, yet are a popular spot for those simply looking to get out of the cold.<br/>
<br/>
Through a door to the side of the counter, one would find the kitchen and all the amenities provided within. This portion of the One Night Stand has been renovated in (semi)recent times and has practical versions of the usual appliances and tools for preparing, cooking and storing food. The ingredients within are typical ones for an Americanized establishment, but once something is stocked, it has a tendency to be restocked at the end of each evening. In large writing across the wall beneath the door frame, it reads<br/>
<i>'Please don't screw here! This is where we make our meals!'</i>​</div><br/><div style="text-align: left">(This is in the vein of logic as the message one would be able to find in the public bathrooms, but those are located off near the fireplace common area.)<br/>
<br/>
Leading down from the kitchen through the back of the pantry is a wine cellar that is used mostly for alcohol storage. The door is always locked and has no real purpose other than to store Errol's collection of vintage wines.<br/>
<br/>
A stairwell leads from the entryway of the barroom to a long corridor of the exposed upper level, though it seems only to serve as a funnel for the seemingly endless rooms the inn portion of ONS is able to provide. More of the strange runic symbols cover the walls and floors of this hallway and indeed are included in the rooms, should one choose to stay the night. Each room consists of a king sized bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a lamp, a chest, wall shelving, a personal bathroom, and an alarm clock. These features never change, but other qualities of the somewhat uniform rooms might. Lucky guests have windows, and some are balcony view or fitted with bay windows. Others might have a vanity or extra chairs, or maybe even a full sized bathroom with a tub, rather than just a shower stall.<br/>
<br/>
Lastly, somewhere in the bar is a passage that leads underground, and through it, one can find themselves traveling a series of intricate tunnels that seem to follow the metro system of the city. What the purpose of these tunnels was, no one is sure of yet, though the mystery may one day be solved, should anyone choose to investigate it.<br/>

__________________________________________________________<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
The city itself is similar to Boston, meaning it’s on the waterfront of the Atlantic (or whatever the fantasy equivalent would be). The name of the city is Valesport. The weather, transit system and general look/feel are all the same as a northern eastern US city, so keep that in mind when posting.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>⊱ Downtown</b>​</div><br/><div style="text-align: left"><br/>
Downtown is considered the red light district and usually contains little police presence, due to how unmanageable the populace who live here is. The One Night Stand is located here, and this area is closest to the docks. Half the businesses are boarded up, and the other half are unsavory to some degree.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>⊱ Midtown</b>​</div><br/><div style="text-align: left"><br/>
This is where the city generally thrives, and the area plays host to a rich mecca of culture and business, giving the economy just enough of a boost to continue its steady life.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>⊱ Uptown</b>​</div><br/><div style="text-align: left"><br/>
Known as Brighton, the rich and powerful often choose to live and work here, though it offers little else for the average citizen. Minus the more upscale activities one could partake in here, like the opera, this isn't the place to go for typical bar goer fun. It is, however, considered the safest portion of the city - meaning police activity is high and the crimes committed here are always kept track of and looked in to.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<b>⊱ The Docks</b>​</div><br/><div style="text-align: left"><br/>
Remnants of the port city's past, the Docks are seldom bothered with by anyone outside the fishing and canning industries, though even those workers seem scarce now due to how uninhabited the waters have become in recent years. The businesses that still try their luck in this area do so ineffectively, and generally just leave behind more skeletons for the building graveyard it's become. Older houses encroach on the beaches, but they're few and far between, and only continue to exist because the city is incredibly proud of it's older properties and their 'historical value'.<br/>
