Since one of Ferral's buddies is a regular at a nightclub I Thought I'd detail the club itself. GM - feel free to use it, change it, or ignore it at your leisure.<br/><br/><strong>The Black Orchid</strong><br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>This nightclub is situated in the Elven District of downtown Seattle (Or a simular location depending on where the game takes place). The Black Orchid was set up and is run by Juliet Grey, an African shapeshifter-human (Panther) in her mid thirties. She started the club ten years ago and despite several attempts by rival clubs to put her out of business, has built it up into one of the most popular night spots in the district.<br/><br/>The nightclub is one of the regualr haunts of the Green Knight biker gang, an all elven gang who make it their business to protect the district from the more unsavoury criminal elements that threaten its stability. One of their memebers, a japanese elf named Lotus, performs at the club as an exotic dancer and is one of the club's main attractions.<br/><br/>Juliet had links to both local street gangs and runners. If a Mr. Johnson needs a job done, then Juliet can often find a team of runners willing to do the job - at a price, of course.<br/><br/>The music played here is mostly a mixture of gothic and chrome, so it is a regular haunt for chromeheads and jammers. You'll find a good mix of humans and metahumans, mages and shaman's here. It even has a few orcs and trolls, despite being in the elven district.<br/><br/>Protection for the club is provided by a brother and sister act. Two Japanese humans razored to the hilt. Aside from this the locals themselves don't take kindly to strangers trying to cause trouble. Anyone who looks like they're going to start a fight are asked to take their differences outside. Those that refuse are dealt with, often with deadly force - but always swiiftly and quietly.<br/><br/><strong>Layout</strong><br/><br/>The ground floor of the club supports a locker room where a punter can stash his or her belongings for a few credits. Behind that is a storeroom where waepons, fetishes etc are stored. Punters are always thoroughly searched  for dangerous items. Any items must be stashed in the lockers and not taken into the club. No one has yet been able to smuggle anything inside and there has never been any major crime or violent incident in the club in all of its ten year lifespan.<br/><br/>Aside from the locker room is a large dance area, surrounded by tables and chairs, with bars at either end of the area. In the centre of the dance area is a raised stage where acts from all over the city come to perform. The club also has its own army of singers and dancers. One of the most popular at the moment is Lotus, an exotic dancer who is a hit with punters of both sexes.<br/><br/>Above and around the stage is a balcony with seats and tables, and on this level are an area of private rooms that can be hired for personal use. Juliet sometimes uses this room to set up contracts for various runners, who she acts as a fixer for (Lotus is one such runner). The local law enforcement  is aware of Juliet’s sideline, but they are some of her most frequent clients and they keep the standard security services from getting too nosy.<br/><br/>The final level supports a restaurant that serves exotic dishes from all over the world, as well as a set of simsense booths, a pool table,  and a large chill-out room.<br/><br/>The nightclub is open from 6pm to 6am and is always kept clean.<br/><br/><br/>
