- The Mistress of Pain || Nightclub-.
.




The Mistress of Pain is a Nightclub on Coruscant which specialises in dark music, exotic dancers and it's gothic aesthetic. It is owned and operated by Cassiopeia and is located in the lower levels of the City Planet. Typically frequented by less than savioury individuals it is known for playing host to a number of criminals from many factions and various other citizens of note - although many of them are not simply there for a drink.



DESCRIPTION




From the outside The Mistress of Pain looks like any other nightclub - blood red neon signs draw the attention of those who walk past and attractive dancers of various races patrol the streets outside, trying to convince patrons to come inside and spend their hard earned credits. On the inside, the club has two levels and is mainly circular in shape. It is usually playing some form of heavy dark synth music or dirty rock.



On the first floor there is seating along the edges, a circular dance floor and then in the center is a circular bar. In the direct center there are dancers bathed in changing lights. This is the primary level and is mainly used for dancing and partying, the standard nightclub activities. On the second floor there is catwalks leading across the sections and several private rooms. This is where more intimate encounters with dancers may occur.



The Mistress of Pain is staffed by a large variety of races with little discrimination - infact it almost seems encouraged that anyone wanting to work there possesses a criminal record of some description and the requirement that they are very good at keeping secrets. It's bouncers are also a variety of different species, the only requirement being the willingness to crack some skulls if they have to.



While popular enough, less than 10% of the Mistress of Pain's regular customers know it's true purpose - to serve as a front for Cassiopeia's real business. The Blood Pit.

- The Blood Pit || Arena-.
.




The Blood Pit is an illegal fighting arena owned and operated by Cassiopeia and is located underneath The Mistress of Pain. Patrons of The Blood Pit are welcome to place bets, observe fights and enjoy a drink from the private bar. If they know the password. The only way to access the Blood Pit is by ordering a 'Euthanasia' cocktail in The Mistress of Pain. Fighters in the ring range from willing blood thirsty gladiators, unwilling slaves and even wild animals.



DESCRIPTION




The Blood Pit is accessed via a secret back door in the private lounges of The Mistress of Pain. In order to access it, you must be 'in the know' and know the password. Simply by ordering a Euthanasia cocktail at the bar the bartender will signal to a host or bouncer to take you to the entrance. Weapons are confiscated at the door and scanners are inplace to detect wires, hidden cameras or secret cybernetics.



The Blood Pit has two levels, with the Arena itself is a large square shaped arena with 4 entrance doors, each door leading to a different containment pen (or barracks for the willing participents). Combatants are either volunteers, paid employees of Cassiopeia, unwilling slaves captured from the streets, pesky Law Enforcement that the criminal underworld want to see suffer and, if sentient combatants are in short supply, Wild Animals can even be pit against eachother, or against humanoids. The Upper Level consists of an observation area - which is protected by Transparisteel barriers - where patrons of the Blood Pit can watch the fighting, enjoy beverages from the bar and even gamble on who is going to win with the broker.



Customers of The Pit use it for a variety of reasons. People can gamble and place bets (which is Cassiopeia's main source of revenue), offer to settle their disputes by fighting in the ring themselves, fight for fun or for money. Cassiopeia may also throw people who displease her into the pit to dispose of them. While in a standard match there are no rules, rules may be added to create unique challenges or threats in 'specialty matches'.



Fights do not always have to be to the death, infact Cassiopeia prefers they arent so that she can milk multiple bouts out of her fighters. The only time fights are fatal are for championship matches or if the combatants both agree to it. Or if she's just feeding some useless or runaway slaves to a vicious animal for fun.



Fighters in the pit, especially unwilling ones, are often outfitted with Cassiopeia's 'Motivational Collars' which consist of a durasteel collar around their neck that, at the push of a button, can send a debilitating electric shock through the wearer to varying degrees, ranging from discomfort, incapitating pain and even death.



It goes without saying that all activity that occurs in The Blood Pit is highly illegal.

Site Lore. To create a write up for Cassiopeia's business and to create a fighting arena for other players to engage in PvP, PvE, Gambling or have underworld meetings with some gruesome entertainment.

Paired these together because they are technically the same venue.
