The two-story salon had an artistic styled sign across the entrance with the name Lotus. The location of the building, nestled on a walkway near other artistic venues, suggests Bushing would be advised. The lighting within the salon allowed one to see the space, yet was dim. When you move through the entranceway, a walk-in coat check where Liam waited to accept coats and accessories was to the left. The next door led to a small room with a few seats along the wall, yet mostly open space. This space was where ghouls and proxies were sent while business was conducted. A small hallway with two locked doors led to an upstairs area, reserved for a small office area for managing the salon.
Liam leads guests as they arrive down a hall. You leave behind the rooms that most of the members of the Invictus have visited: the small yet well-appointed study. The meeting room specifically designed for gatherings of the Invictus that had hosted the Oath Swearing ceremony of Whip o’Brien. The medium sized room with some artwork on the walls to reflect and converse on. Two large glass globes with small openings at the top were just before the hall. Within these globes, lotus flowers floated in clear water.
You arrive at a small ballroom. The room was appointed in finery and spared no expense, decorated tonight in green and gold. There are expansive brocades of gold and green silk draped over the walls. A low table bore small vases bearing roses, alternating pattern of a red rose to a white rose.
There is great room to stand in the center to converse. To even dance. A look around reveals a long table with a green tablecloth set up with some floral strands of white roses. There are trays of small delicacies: one held colorful macaroons. One held small glass figurines of various roses. One held small, exquisitely embroidered hand fans.
There were two sitting areas: one facing the hallway with seats for six in comfortable arm chairs, each arranged for conversation. There was another sitting area on the far wall, with seats for four. There was a basket set on a table by the door to the ballroom with a small sign: Place your musical selection here
