The Stairs lead away from the mortal nightclub to a subterranean area set aside for Kindred use...
Anyone descending The Stairs will detect the tangy aroma of freshly squeezed lemons wafts up from the sub-space.
Once at the foot of The Stairs a new arrival can see the layout more properly.

In the cellar vault beneath the nightclub the lights are low. The silence is almost tangible.
A calm atmosphere prevails.
Recessed lamps cast a soft glow and the bright and rich scent of freshly made lemonade and squeezed lemons fills the air.
A Latin motto is inscribed over the doorway as one descends The Stairs. It reads in delicate silver lettering: "Per Ardua Ad Astra" ~ through struggle to the Stars.
Any new arrival will find the Court area is decorated with long black and purple silken drapes cascading from floor to ceiling. Draped in elegant bunches and gathered into valances across door frames and between supporting pillars.
There's a rich and lingering scent of exotic rose incense; the lighting is intentionally low.
A delicately painted pattern and illustrations of ancient and strange Zodiacs adorn the ceiling.
Adorning the walls and carefully lit are truly large digital prints of NASA's renderings of the largest galactic entities and the very farthest reaches of Deep Space.
Martha stood not too far from The Stairs and stretched out her legs and arms in preparation for another Patrol.
She was eager to build on her recent experience with the three legged race. It showed Martha a need to work harder at running...a lot harder.
Dressed in a short Kelly green netball style skirt, simple no-brand sneakers and a pale lemon tennis style top she was limping hard along the path.
Her C-Leg would soon be working harder than usual. Still resting her hands on her knees, she noticed the kneesock on her C-Leg had rolled down to the ankle. Peering over her spectacles.
Martha emits no Beast.
The short netball skirt reveals the tone of her remaining flesh leg...it's muscular, hinting at the study of dance or athletics...she's clearly undergone an amputation at some point: her left leg is a simple metal C-Leg.
