Bouncer’s Union
Bouncers are exactly what they sound like, security guards for the many establishments of Octant Dionysus. There is a siblinghood in this profession, and the many bouncers of the octant have joined together to make a guild dedicated to supporting each other while protecting their charges. This union remains functional as their frequent communication with each other ensures they’re being treated well by their employers, or getting paid and compensated fairly for their work. Neon Angels
The Neon Angels are a collective dedicated to making sure party-goers are safe. From handing someone a glass of water after they’ve downed their second alcoholic drink in a row, to shutting down a stranger’s unwanted advances on another, to helping the young and reckless when they take something they shouldn’t have. While anyone can just be a good person and do these things, Neon Angels have made this their duty, often equipped with first aid kits or other useful items on their person. The easiest way to spot an official Neon Angel is to look for someone wearing a black denim jacket, with neon angel wings painted on the back and a member number on one of the front pockets.
