Boire
Rave with two current locations, Ames and Saint Louis, owned and ran by Lee. House motto, "We Practice Pitchcraft."

Saint Louis
The Saint Louis location is at 517 Withers Avenue, in an old rundown industrial section near both tracks and close to the river. The club most nights has a line of those waiting to get inside that can wrap around the block. Inside on the main floor one finds a wrap around bar. There are no windows in the location to the outside. There are no cameras inside.


 * First floor: The main room has a wooden floor for dancing, and lots and lots of movable lights (spotlights, colored lights, disco balls, etc) on the ceiling (with semi-visible wiring). The walls are covered in anime punk paintings, with everything else left very industrial. There are various tables scattered about with a middle pole up to the ceiling for dancers, and there is a stage dead center in the room for live bands, or live whatevers. There is little to nothing hanging on the walls with the exception of five keys embedded in the wood behind the bar towards the center. The bar top is treated redwood, and cared for religiously. Doors to the restrooms, and kitchen are off to one side, under the stairs to the second floor. The bar is a full bar and serves all kinds, as best possible, although since the crowd is *OFTEN* mixed human and supernatural, digression in ordering is expected. Off the kitchen is a door to the alley, a hallway to Lee's office's, the staff's break room and private bathroom, and the dancer's changing room with private bath and a shower are all located, along with storage and current roof access through a small unused room. The back alley gets used for staff parking, and has the things one might find in a city alley, and a rather large and funny smelling compost pile.


 * Second Floor: The upstairs rooms are adjacent to the big open main room, either open to the big first floor room, or with one sided glass for more privacy. Some are filled with formal or lounging furniture. One larger room has dining type seating. There is a rumored black door with a gold handle, somewhere upstairs. The DJ booth is in one of those rooms, right above the middle of the bar.

Note: Boire is neutral ground, as declared by the St. Louis Night Congress at large, and individually by most of the Voices. Is also apparently a Pokestop.

Staff

 * Bouncers: Boris, the Bouncer -- Might be a bear, might just be a wolf. The primary bouncer, so he's probably outside the warehouse at night. Who knows what he does during the day, really. Clan Petrov, big men and women, all look rather similar, rumor has it that they are all related and used to work for Ringling Brothers, and are all werebears.
 * Waitstaff- Kristi, Misti, Shandi, Bambi, Mandi, Rubi, Staci, Anni, Jaci, Dani, Miri, Lexi, Bob, Dick, etc, all NPCs of some form of supernatural race.
 * Bartenders- Lee, and Amri, and Little Billy (who is 7 feet tall and almost as wide as he is tall)
 * Kitchen Staff- Sparkles, Odball, Wingo, and Speckles.
 * Exotic Dancers- Contracted out with The Suzans, a very private dancing service known in the circles as providing talented "dancers", and in the supernat community as hiring those with nonhuman ties. All dancers answer to some version of the name Susan. Lee contracted for specific numbers of dancers at specific times.
 * DJ's- various, no house DJs as of yet.
 * Guest bands. This week: DiscoDoggies Next week: Daftfunk [Note: Live music on Friday and Saturday nights].

Rumors

 * Someone may be sleeping upstairs, somehow never gets caught.

Ames
The Ames location in an industrial section of old Des Moines, has a full bar, and a tiny minimal kitchen (Ie fridge, sink, etc). Rave is open 7 nights a week, and staffed by a mix of various supernaturals, which include were's, mages, and those who fall in other categories, including many who are currently unrecognized or unknown. Owned by Lee, it allows for both mortal, immortal, and the in-between patrons to party, dance, and exist in relative peace. Rumor has it it has ties to old organized crime, and entities most area's do not acknowledge. What is known, is that the lines are long, and it is considered one of the premier party locations among the "In Crowd". Lee started there as a bouncer, and worked her way up to owner, expanding the original club, while keeping on all the original staffing and management. She is known to appear now and then, to take a shift as a bouncer, or even behind the bar, as a bartender. Rave is in an old industrial district, and area is not entirely safe so she has bouncers at the door, and a few patrol the immediate street. Inside, the dance floor is old and scuffed. There is a bar at the far wall, a corner for a D.J., and a old coin style juke box. There is no kitchen, but they do serve precooked snacks, along with a full bar (that serves sups as well.). The room has one outside entrance, and one exit, which takes you to a hallway, where there are bathrooms, a small kitchen, staff rooms, and a stairs up to offices and storage. Her manager's office is up there. He was the previous owner, who she bought out over time, but stayed on in a half retirement sort of thing. Lee has mentioned she plans on expanding and matching the setup in her Saint Louis location, as she has the rest of the building and the space to expand, just waiting on the financing to come through.
