Man In Black

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

703 Sutter St, Folsom, CA 95630

Rumor has it that it began with a round of handshakes and gentlemen's agreements during Prohibition. Whatever it's origin, or original name, beneath the Folsom Hotel and behind a heavy steel door lies the location simply called the 'Man in Black'.

It might be a tribute to Johnny Cash's performance at the Folsom State Penitentiary, whose long shadow begins a stone's throw away. Or it might be a reference to the anonymous identities of those looking to get jobs done.

Of all it's mysteries, some things are unforgivingly known:

• There will be no violence in, or around, the premises. Bartering, bargaining, extortion, and threats are all fair game -- but the restitution shall be made elsewhere. Violating this First Rule will result in immediate and total ostracization, or worse.
• It's a who's who of the underworld's upper echelon, and their guests (single guest per member). Entry is carefully screened and vetted (see below).
• Said membership's preferred currency is power and influence. Within these walls, money is all but meaningless.

One dot less than the requirement for entry confers knowledge of the existence of the Man in Black, but not entry.
