Nightwisher
And don't you dare go hollow....
The building in front of the group was made of red brick, with as few windows as possible it seemed. Noise could be heard from the roof -- laughing, music, general club sounds with the mixture of splashing water. One may have thought that a rooftop pool was a bit much for a club, but none of you could really be too surprised with it when the building itself was surrounded by a rather wide moat made of pure ice. Steam rose up from it, but it made no signs of melting for whatever reason. But, even that wasn’t the strangest thing about all of it. No, the strangest part were the human, and even alien, like limbs that were reaching out of the ice. Arms, legs, some people even frozen at just torso with the looks of fear on their faces as if they’d seen Medusa herself. As the group approached the sturdy, embellished wooden bridge that passed over the moat, those who dare look over would be able to see even more frozen beings resting at the bottom of the clear ice.
The building itself stood three stories high and had a dark red door. The sign above it flashed with nine rings. Eight of them red, with Roman numeral numbers marking each. The ring in the center, number IX, was white, matching the letters that flashed above it “Cocytus”. It seemed quiet, but whoever made it past the bouncer knew that the inside was far more lively.
“ID, please,” the man who stood in front of the door stated. He was a giant of a man, standing at around 22 feet tall. Besides that however, the strangest thing about him were the paw pads on the palms of his hands. Luckily for the lot of you, however, a stunningly beautiful woman with long white, perfect hair was standing outside, a cigarette in her mouth. Her red eyes passed over you all. They seemed so innocent, but to those who looked harder, they could see the slight hint of deviousness. She was wearing a light blue dress with a heart neckline, with a tie around the neck, the ends of which were the length of her hair -- to mid back--. The dress itself hugged every curve of her body perfectly, two slit up either end that showed off her legs and left just enough to the imagination that people always begged her for more. When the light hit the dress just right, it even seemed to look see-through. Though, maybe the dress wouldn’t be the most distracting part for some of you, with the ram horns sticking from either side her head and curling around her ears until the the pointed tips nearly brushed against her perfect jawline.
Before the group could be turned away for lack of identification, she let out a puff of smoke and flicked the butt of the cigarette into the ice, where it sizzled before being frozen over. “Don’t worry about it, Kuma, we’ve been looking for people like this.” Her voice was as smooth as velvet and as sweet as honey. The bouncer gave a huff, but didn’t fight it. Clearly, this woman had some kind of pull around here. “Well, don’t you look like a rag tag group of wandering, lost, damn souls?” She asked, her voice still sounding just as sweet and enticing despite her words. She crossed her arms over her chest, giving another sweeping look over the lot of you. Then, a dazzling smile danced across her lips. “Welcome to Cocytus, let’s get you all a drink. You must be absolutely parched.” Without another word, she turned around and led the way into the club.
A purple translucent smoke covered the floors of the club and almost seemed to wrap around your ankles like slender, ghostly hands reaching to pull you down below. At the corners of the room were stone statues of giants, chained to the wall and tasked with holding the roof of the building on their backs. The inside of Cocytus rocked with loud dance music, playing from the DJ stand off to the left, where everyone would be able to see a set of twins working the system in perfect sync.
In front of DJ stand was an ice-like dance floor. What may catch more eyes, however, were the eight cages with female dancers of all sorts, scattered around the main floor. Humans, Asari, and Twi’lek occupied the cages, performing the sensual and erotic dances of their cultures for all to enjoy. The bar, which took up nearly all of the farthest wall, held three more cages so people could enjoy a show as they drank.
Off to either side of the room, on the wall with the bar, were two doors, both guarded by two other bouncers. The one to right, everyone would be able to see a few people allowed in who were wearing dresses similar to that the white haired woman was wearing. It was a stark contrast to the more street clothes like dress of those on the main floor. On the left, one would be able to see someone whisper something into the bouncers ear before being let in while another patron approached, demanding entrance, and was turned away.
The woman that had gotten you entrance into the bar, despite age, species, or any of that, made her way to the bar, leaning over it to say something to the bartender before throwing the group another look. Without another word, the woman stepped away and disappeared behind a door closest to the bar that was nearly invisible unless you were right there on it.
“Alright, what can I get for all of you?” The bartender asked.
