'''Detonation Boulevard''' is a new shop on [[D_St._and_Fifth_Ave|D and 5th]] in Prospect that specializes in instrument repair and rock n' roll memorabilia. Within its walls, you can find everything from bootleg tapes and CDs (with band approval) to vintage concert tees and posters. Its proprietrix, '''[[Janneke|Janneke 'JJ' Johansen]]''', also purchased a great deal of its former stock from the prior owners of [[Off the Record|Off the Record]], so many of those darkwave, goth, industrial, postpunk, and other selections are blended right in among the hard rock, heavy metal, grunge, punk, and alternative.

Janneke does the repairs herself; simple fixes are done right there on site in the glassed-in work area, while more complex mending takes time and her larger private shop in the back (and off limits to the public).

The hours are somewhat erratic, but if the neon <font color="#000087">'''OPEN'''</font> sign is lit, you're welcome, whether it's 10 am or midnight. Come on by, check out the vinyl, the bootlegs, the assortment of rare and hard-to-find counterculture books of all sorts, the concert promo posters... and hell, if you're lucky, maybe you'll score some of the fresh-baked treats JJ keeps on hand for customers while you listen to some vintage deep cuts in one of the two listening booths. <br>

<br>
 +
Two listening booths that seat two are made from old, red diner-style small booths. They are equipped with an audio setup to listen to vinyl discs, cassettes, or CDs inside the plexiglass walls before you purchase them. Use of the booths is given through keys at the front registers. They can also be used, in a pinch, to put on music and discuss private matters if necessity demands.<br>

Meet, greet, eat... and sleep.



About Rêves Errant

"Rêves Errant" means 'wandering dreams,' and that's what this homey place is designed to serve.

Found just outside the Rhapsody Freehold, in the Lost in Time Market, and built on the site of the former Rêves à Vendre, this haven is meant as a welcoming home in the Dreaming for wanderers among the Fae, Kinain, chimera, and Bygones. It offers inexpensive (or free, to the indigent) crash space, food and drink, and a lively and welcoming common room that encourages storytelling by the fire, singing, dancing, and all manner of creativity and camaraderie. Want to catch up on gossip from other parts of Concordia or Pacifica? Want to meet Kithain from other places? Bored with the same old things? Come and visit, and meet new friends!

  • The peace will be kept by the staff. Put aside all conflicts at the door -- this is a homey space with no room for fighting.
  • New Chrysalids eat, drink, and sleep for free until they find a mentor.


Menu

The menu changes from day to day, but there are usually about a half-dozen options offered, plus specialties for Kiths with rarefied tastes. The Sluagh Salad with its artfully wilted greens and delicate slices of rotting carrot and softened mushrooms is well-regarded, as is the Nuts N' Bolts, a chili base of meat and beans mixed with washers, screws, nails, and other small bits of metal for flavor. Raw meat and fish is available for predatory Pooka and other fae.

More mundanely, the daily options include one stew or hearty bowl-style meal, one hot soup, two types of sandwiches, some sort of seafood fresh-caught, and a hot meal like meat loaf or pot pie available, as well as the always-available burgers, fries, fresh-cut potato chips, and grilled cheese. All food options are good quality and relatively inexpensive.

  • Drinks include hot and cold options: coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices of the day, faerie-brewed beers and faewines.
  • Desserts change daily, but usually include muffins, scones, croissants, and miniature cakes. All desserts, teas, and baked goods are provided by A Spoonful of Sugar in Prospect, CA.



Performances

Near the hearth is an open area used as a stage. Entertainers who come to visit are encouraged to stand up and share their skill, whether it be storytelling, music, sleight-of-hand, dancing, or other pursuits. A sign off to one side notes, "Tips for entertainers are encouraged!" If you want to sing for your supper, the staff will often swap food or lodging for skilled performers. (Relevant skill of 3+, usually.)



The Right of Rescue and other aid

While Rêves does not have its own Balefire, it is within a freehold that does. Any Changeling in need of Rescue can ask for aid from the staff here. Note that the staff are informed that it's a hand-up, not a hand-out; people who take advantage will be cut off from help. JJ is kind and giving, but not a sucker.

  • Anyone who cannot afford a meal or a bed, please speak to staff. We care for our own, and we promise to be respectful and discreet.
  • To fulfill the charitable purpose of our inn, we also run an exchange of new voile or crafted, barterable items for meals and service among local merchants as well as Dross. We hope to keep a small stock of clean Voile, clothing for the Autumn World, and other necessary items for Kithain or Kinain in need. Other needed items from the Autumn world like toiletries can be provided upon request.
  • JJ has a policy that Bygones who wind up here are to be given help to get back on track as well. It is the owner's belief that Bygones are the most obviously in-need of Prodigals in the modern world, and if they end up here, they are to be aided if there is need.



Staff

  • Proprietor:

Juniper Jupiter

  • Servers (NPC):

Polly, blonde Boggan wilder with a sassy but friendly demeanor
Gregori, dark and brooding Sluagh wilder who never forgets an order

  • Barkeep (NPC):

Evelyn, friendly and no-nonsense Grump Troll from elsewhere in Concordia, who also doubles as a bouncer.

  • Cook (NPC):

Bart Lightfinger, Boggan grump short-order-cook and chef

  • Security (NPC):

Steeltooth, female Redcap grump who's seen a lot of shit in her days
Karl the Short, male 6'9" Troll grump, Steeltooth's husband

  • Shop cats (NPC):

Dulcie, female calico usually found near the hearth -- spicy but sweet.
Spark, male ginger tabby usually found wandering among the tables, seeking pets.


NOTE: Any PC who would like to join the staff here should contact JJ; if you're willing to spend time in the place and foster RP, I'd be open to adding an additional staffer of some sort so long as they show up a few days a week to be available to players for RP.
