Episode 1 - London
For all the player characters except Ernst(a):
You have each received a telegram invite to meet with Madame “G” herself at
the Alchimie Noir nightclub the very next Monday night. As you know that this
is a hub of Psycrafter activity and that Madame “G” is a powerful force in the
Psycrafter community you feel it is unwise to ignore.
As you leave your lodging to make your way to Alchimie Noir on Coventry
Street in Soho you pull your fur-lined collar up to protect your neck from the
bitter cold. Even with fur-lined hat, gloves, and boots you still feel
miserable. Pretty much par for the course these days. For the last few months
it hasn’t made it above freezing except for one balmy 41°F day.
The air is bad again too. Electricity demand has meant the coal furnaces
running on overtime. Not many people out. No surprise. Better take the tube.
As you stand on the platform waiting for the train a constantly flickering
fluorescent bulb just needles at your brain.
You rub your temples in an attempt to stave of
the otherwise inevitable headache. Since the
government ordered all lights replaced with
the new special UV emitting bulbs the extra
glare is yet another brick in the wall of
misery that is life in London. But then again
it could be worse... you could be living in
the U.S. or even Russia god forbid.
Trudging your way from Piccadilly Circus
Station the remaining short two-minute walk to
Alchimie Noir the simple red neon sign pierces
the gloom. You notice cars dropping patrons
outside. The biggest bouncer, and he is BIG,
holds the door for you, already knowing you
belong.
