Dion’s Birthday is the 31st of this month, so he wants to throw a party. He is only telling a shortish list of people ICly that it is his birthday, but still a party must be had none the less. When I was rolling the idea of doing a party around in my head I got an image that I would like to share with you all before detailing the Event I am planning for the 25th.

Escaping from the crowded streets of the city, the musty scent of the old tunnels, saturated with decades of lake run off, permeates the air. The passage opens into a large chamber crafted from the same milled stones and bricks that crafted the passage to it; a long underused section of the sewers now only in use during the annual floods. Clearly the door that you pass through may be one of the many causes for the flooding the city copes with. Before reaching the chamber the dull thud of the bass can be heard, echoing off the walls and through the tunnels, leading to the room.

The chamber is a lit with activity. First impressions of the sight will not be far from that of an underground rave. Hidden away beneath the city streets, the throngs of people cavort about to the music and the lights, ingesting booze and drugs of all sorts. To the Left of the room, there are groups of stalls, where in one of them, a man stands renting out scantily clad women to those who have the proper coinage.

The prostitutes, some willing, some not, are taken off to the booths or other dark corners of the chamber to be used as their renter desires. But it’s in the center of the room, where the mass of people gather round, to the rough etched ring, that most of the attention is given.

Fighters battle it out in a bloody and brutal contest behind barbed wire laced fencing. The combatants fight for their lives and their freedom. Some of the fighters entered the cage of their on volition while others have been forced to fight against their will; some chemically coerced into a rage. Some of the victors may just earn the right to leave the ring with life and limb, others with the prize of their fallen foe. The free fighters all battle for glory, and a slice of the winnings, from the bookies gathering bets from the teeming crowd. Uniformed masked men roam the area keeping the peace, throwing those that dare to battle outside of the ring into one of the other cages to fight until they fall to the dirt in a heap, some not long for this world. Drugs are taken, alcohol drunk, flesh is used and pleasured, and blood is spilled.

In short, I want to hold an underground fight event, much less structured then the last event but ICLy much more dangerous for the combatants. If I can swing the space and the location, I will try to have more then one fight ring set up so there can be more then one fight going on at a time. Still trying to keep the length of a fight to about an hour or so RL time just for sanity sake.

I understand that a gathering like this is not going to be everybody’s bag ICly. So with that in mind, I will detail several ALT role options for people that may like to show up and have fun with the RP, but can not see their main getting involved in it. News of this will be ICly spread by word of mouth. I will have some people doing that, but seeing that you have read this here, just consider that you have heard about it. In theory, the word about the party may not reach the more civically upstanding sorts of people, so if you want to play at the event, but you don’t fit that bill, we have plenty of temp ALT NPC like roles that will need to be filled.

The event will run Fri, Mar 25 – Sat, Mar 26 @ 6:00 pm – 1:00 am Long, I know, but it is a party so don’t feel like you need to be there the whole time. It will either be located in a skybox I set up on my land in Dead Fall or in ‘The Fix’ if I can get permission to set up in there. I prefer the later not only because it is an existing build in De that gets too little use, but it would allow people to loiter about topside and perv on the scene.

The Cult will be working to fill the pimping and dealing slots but if other factions or individuals want in on the action I am sure they can work something out with the people I am placing in charge of each of those tasks.

IC Rules:

Ok these are the things the Security team will try and enforce. Giving fair warning now about them and what Ic consequences to expect if you’re caught violating them. This is also possibly good way of getting in on some of the fight action. This is not me saying that you cannot do these things ICly just that if you do, there may be consequences, and what to expect from them.

No cameras, video or still. People will be doing lots of illegal shit and should feel safe about that.

No theft. This not only goes to Cult sellers of whores, drugs, and booze but anyone that we allow to sell there.

Selling ‘wares’ without getting cleared. Consequences on this may just be the taking of a larger cut of your take, not caging in a ring.

No Fighting outside of a cage. If you have issue with someone take it to a cage. If you get caught you will be tossed in one regardless, so just save yourself a beating.

Interfering with a fight. This will be treated as stealing since bets are being made on the fights.

Visible weapons. Basic De street rules on weapons if we can see it the NPC bouncer won’t let you in with it. Not disarming people just wanting them to stay hidden so people can relax some. It is a party after all.

Most violations will be handled simply by being dosed up with a drug that sends the vic into a rage and thrown into a cage. There will probably be some chaining to keep them from rushing the gate next time it opens.
