In the disreputable Dockland District of the grand city of Ludgrave is a rickety old pub known as the Mask and Castle. A popular establishment, it is nevertheless a place haunted by its fair share of rogues- pickpockets, bodysnatchers, pirates and forgers. The beer is weak, and the food suspect, but prices are low, and you can be sure to avoid any unwanted attention.
And despite its reputation, it is certainly safer than the world outside. Amidst the dark, Gothic spires of the city, illuminated by the great clock tower of the Imperial Parliament, dark rumours are swirling like fog. Vampires, demons, and other such monsters are whispered about by those who keep their heads in strange books. And for the skeptic, there is always Jim the Ripper to fear, leaving his bloody trail through darkened alleyways in search of his next victims.
But enough of the murk and the fear! Simply relax, pick up a copy of the Ludgrave Times, and enjoy the drinks and the company. A band in the corner are playing some new music hall hits, and several of the more inebriated patrons are dancing along.
Characters:
James the bartender- a mild-mannered guy who somehow keeps this place running
Darius de Roy- a hulking older guy in a black trenchcoat and wide-brimmed hat.
Silas Dryfoot- a sailor returned from his last voyage with a perhaps suspicious amount of wealth.
Rules (Credit to Yondor, Drummer, and Overkill)
1. No PVP without permission from both people playing the characters. If that is agreed to, then PVP may occur outside, but no such fighting may happen inside the Mask and Castle itself. If you do end up fighting in the Mask and Castle, you will be... punished >:D
2. If you wish to have an encounter or something similar, let's talk about it over in PMs and I will see if I can run it.
3. Please do not use overly vulgar language (such as repeated swearing or the f%&@ word). I will give you one reminder if this rule is violated.
4. If an argument gets out of hand, there are always PMs to talk about it so it doesn't clutter up the main thread. But just do your best to be respectful.
5. Please keep things appropriate and go easy on any 18+ scenes or content (Fade to black/suggestive scenarios). We are not aware of the age of thread participants or how comfortable they are with it, so please keep things down and be mindful of these kinds of things. If you and other players would like to do things like this, please take it to a PM.
6. Please go easy on quote chains for ease of mobile users. If someone has very long chains, please let them know in a respectful way.
7. When speaking OOC, structure it like *this*.
8. Please put 'apples and pears' in your first post to show you've read the rules :)
9. Have some fun!

You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
A musician plays a gold-detailed fiddle in the corner. His appearance is obscured by a veil hanging from the brim of his top hat, letting his jaunty music speak for itself. His clothing is much too good for a place like this, made of white and gold silk and tailored specifically for his strong-yet-lithe physique. It looks rather gaudy, given the location, but not so offensive that the darkness can't muffle it.

Darius tosses him a coin. 'Good performance'

The man grabs it out of the air. "Thank you, sir. I used to play sad songs, but they blend into the background here."

He shakes his head. "Good is not an inherent trait in this universe. We must create it ourselves. The problem is, to create good, one must acknowledge the non-good parts as bad. And therein lies the rub."

The Educated Man nods. "Sometimes, a wound must be opened to make sure the patient recovers correctly. Hurting before healing." He taps his bow against the floor. "But we must be sure not to cut too deeply, too quickly."

*Does the Mask and Castle have apples and pears on the menu?*
If I’m being annoying, tell me to shut up. Seriously. Just say “Bananer shut up.” And I will. For a few seconds!
Don’t listen to the folks down at Adohands. It’s good for me to overwork myself.
Professional idiot! Trans! Pansexual pancake! I am a minor so you will do none of that (GP) with me! I use He/They pronouns :3
