Boston

=**Notable Locations**=


 * Name:** The Candelabra


 * Description:** Corner shop just outside the business district. Catering primarily to the hippy culture and all it's mystic crystal gazing, incense burning and drum circle banging. The Candelabra's main customers aren't in the know, but mostly think they are. You'll rarely find someone there who knows more about magic than the average palm reader. Not to say the shop is necessarily a waste of your time. Ran by the proprietor Helena Washington, the shop may not be a good local to get your depleted uranium, but they got low end resource declarations in spades. Including but not limited to crystals, divining rods, tarot cards, chalk of any colour and make. And if they don't have it, Helena's not averse to personal orders of the unusual kind. If you can pay the price that is $$$

This place is **Theme**


 * Idea:** A good place to find the have nots and get goodies/gossip.


 * Aspect:** The Fringe of the Boston magical community.

High-African American occultist. Trouble-Staying out of trouble Panders to her clients Proprietor of The Candelabra
 * The Face:** Helena Washington

At first glance Helena comes off as a well-spoken witch. She dresses and acts like she just stepped off the boat from merry old England and opened up her own Merlin shop. Get someone who knows her though, and that facade quickly changes into a spitfire of base insults and bronx accents. Her best stat would be a 5-resources tied up completely in her store and surprisingly for someone whose face is a con, a 4-contacts for the magical community. She's protective of those she gets close too and in the game tipped the npcs off on several nasties harassing the norms and magical community. Sometime using that as a price for some of her items or knowledge. She's not completely out of the loop for what's really out there, but despite several direct face-to-faces w/ things that bump in the night, she never really learned how deep the rabbit hole went. A 3-Lore and rapport balance her out, default her mental/social skills to 2, phys to 1/0 if you really need to stat. Despite her associations and appearance, she's a pure mortal. Maybe w/ a skill or 2 in performance or resource.


 * Name**: Lotus Club


 * Description:** Officially, it doesn't exist. It's one of those place that you only get into if a friend brings you in. It's frequented by both the upper crust and the lowest user. No one's sure where it will be and not many more ever hear about it. Unknown to all but these select few it's financed by the white court, and one of the few terrors of the red court. It's kept mobile for these same reasons, rarely being in the same place for more than a week. The purpose of this place is to supply the very unique narcotic red court saliva to those who can afford it or those willing to risk their lives to help supply it. Here, there's no mounds of cocaine or fields of mary jane. You only get the best in gut shotted and heavily chained red ct vamps. All designed to make harvesting that delicious drool easier and more efficient for those who can't function without. White ct leader of the town of Boston Dante Malvora unofficially uses it as a way of controlling the growing red ct presence in Boston as well as swelling his own influence by those he allows in.

This place can be **Theme** or **Threat** depending on the game


 * Idea:** A good place to establish or extort contacts if that's your thing. Or make some quick resource selling downed red courts.


 * Aspect:** A wretched hive of narcotics and social bloodletting

High-Manager of the Lotus Club Trouble-Addicted to my own product Sells out the Soulless
 * The Face:** Sky high

Sky High isn't much more than your average drug pusher. A little more organized, but it's Dante who makes the final decisions. Standard white ct writeup altered to your game would work fine for his writeup. The place tends to reflect the appearance of where it ends up. In my Boston game at one point it was in a slaughter house and, with the exceptions of a few comforts, the whole place could have pranced out of an Eli Roth nightmare. Another time it took place in the bottom floor of a upper end mansion, few downed vampires in site and paintings on the walls.
