Two nights had passed. Five thousand dollars was transferred through underground channels, each dollar making its way to the hands of the seedy backers who were running the game there in the back room of the dive bar, Blink. Faceless men. Nameless organizations. All the money, a cut going up and up and up until it reached the very top in the hands of the darksiders who ruled Sacramento's night. But a seat at the table had been purchased. Perhaps, tonight, Pepper would win.
The only easy way to the back of Blink was through the bar, which was filling with patrons for this Saturday night's drunken pleasures. A couple of girls worked the bar and the room, wearing way too little and baring almost everything that their managers would allow them. More tips. That's why they said they did it, and why not believe them? It makes perfect sense. That is, if you ignored the rumours about the gals being willing to do a little extra on the side for a little extra on the side.
The World of Darkness is a hard, dangerous place. Blink is one of the places where the ignorant go to escape it, and where predators go to embrace it.
A couple of rough looking bouncers guarded the door, checking IDs. There is also a metal detector, some light attempt at securing the place from idiots who weren't allowed to bring weapons in from doing so.
Go ahead and narrate any preparations! You had two days, so let me know what you did.
