Design
art deco.
Sensory & Appearance
smoke hangs in thick swirls throbbing with the rhythm of the jazz quartet on the small stage in the corner. upright bass, drum, piano, sax.
Denizens
the downtrodden and hopeless, the losers who haven't lost hope, those who've accepted that they're stuck but haven't dissociated into the game yet.
most of the people who spend time in the café are compelled to do so. something inside of them knows its the only place to restore the hope of winning.
Contents & Furnishings
café-style tables and chairs. small and intimate. dimly lit. smells of smoke and booze and glazed hope.
Special Properties
the café drips with the muted allure of sadness that clings like tar to everyone who lingers for a drink and a song. it's where people fortify themselves for one more go at the tables. it's where they console themselves for giving in to a game they know they can't win. and it's where some—a very special few—decide to become useful pieces in the game rather than remain an easy sucker.
cigarette smoke lingers in the air even when the joint is empty. the dim glow of table votives and the lights on the stage are the only illumination.
