‘Out of the eater came something to eat, out of the strong came something sweet’
In the dismal coastal swamps of West Tantalium, a most curious sight can be found by those foolish or adventurous enough, or those simply with the abysmal luck to be born there. Sprouting up from the endless mud is a greasy but glittering city, Stroopville, built off of the back of its army of teeming workers, and it is always looking to attract fresh meat.
Commissioned by none other than Baron Leopold van Stroop, a deranged millionaire with a taste for the occult, the city has a well-known darker side. And it is that which has given it its unique place in the world. For underneath the marshlands is a huge, whale-like creature known to the people above as the Leviathan. A sleeping giant, it is suspected that if it ever awakened, it would destroy Stroopville in one bite. Nevertheless, the danger it poses is not without opportunity. Many years ago, when cryptozoologists were dispatched to study the monstrous creature, they found, amongst other things, that its blood was filled with a mysterious sugary elixir. With a taste so enchanting to leave grown men changed forever. The perfect sweetener.
The Baron’s drilling operation has brought growth and prosperity, allowing his town to expand into the sprawling wetlands beyond. Customers come from far and wide to taste this ‘Red Syrup’, diluted for the common masses, or served in high concentration for gourmands, occultists, and the insane. It does not matter that half the city’s folk live in squalor, or that religious terrorists target the syrup rigs, or that the Baron has not been seen in decades. The machine must go on pumping…
You start in the Sweet Tooth, a small dockside restaurant serving the finest produce of Stroopville- waffles, pastries, drinks made of fermented Red Syrup, and, at a higher price point, the smoked meat of the Leviathan itself (It tastes like salmon, but twitches on the fork). Attended by all kinds of people, from travellers, syrup workers, crooks and revolutionaries to wealthy investors and law enforcement, it is the beating heart of the docks. Who will you be, in this demonic and delectable city?

Rules (Credit to Drummer, Overkill and Yondor):
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 Sweet Tooth itself. If you do end up fighting in the Sweet Tooth, 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 the name of a dessert in your first post to show you've read the rules :)
A man walks into The Sweet Tooth. He’s missing an eye and wearing an apron slowly dripping… red liquid. He takes out a small metal device, putting one end in his mouth and in the other a drop of Red Syrup (yes its a vape).

The barkeeper, a huge, disfigured man in a neat white uniform, asks if he wants to buy anything
A man in a black suit is sat at the bar. He appears to be taking notes
“Give me something salty, I’m tired of sweet.” He walks over to the man in the suit and sits next to him, but doesn’t start a conversation
'Something salty? Well, how about some Leviathan sushi? There's a real savoury kick there, they say there's nothing else like it.'
“Spent all day mining that stuff. If it’s all you have-“ he stops and takes out a handkerchief, coughing into it loudly, “-then I suppose that’ll do.”
'Perfect, one sushi, coming right up'. The bartender nods, and a hunk of meat is taken out from the back room. He slices wriggling slivers off of the thing, prepares them, and hands them on a board to the customer. 'Used to be my favourite, back in the day'

“Hm. What happened to change your mind?” He asks, before taking one of the sushis and eating it whole

The sushi does not resist, in fact, it goes down remarkably easily for something that is able to move. 'You ever heard of too much of a good thing?'

An obese strugel in fluffy clothes wanders in, followed by a massive death knight in a suit. The stoat sits at the bar and yawns before patting the wood. His dreadnought picks up a menu and holds it in front of him, which he then reads carefully. It's massive before him, given that he's a little over two feet tall.
The death knight taps on the shoulder of the man in the black suit. "What's your favorite?" The mini mage asks.
