THE LAST DANCE.

[redsoil]

█ The Last Dance is an underground ( lit. ) arts venue and performance space that sprawls throughout the Below. Trim and streamlined, the Last Dance is a darkly colorful and evocative space that inhabits several intersecting alleyways, providing both a comforting density and a claustrophobic atmosphere. Every alleyway appears to have a different theme, different parties or events happening, but all are connected as one under the banner of the Last Dance. INSPIRATION: The Old Vic Tunnels, London, bazaars and underground artistry.

COMMUNITY.

[redsoil]

The Last Dance is owned by the community found in the Below. Located at the edge of Springstar-proper, the Last Dance is the foundling child of a variety of like-minded libertines from Springstar itself, with express invitations made to those of Highstorm during its creation. Created as a neutral space, the Last Dance evokes the timeless quality of equality, equity and uncontrolled freedoms — it is defended by the people who inhabit its sprawling, flowing alleys and given to periodically selecting clients as "leaders" due to their longevity of attendance.

The current authorities are a triumvirate of impassioned artists, whom majority agreement grants the right to represent the Last Dance in the realm of defense, publicity and investigatory quality. Shard-bearers have been known to find their way into positions of power within the Last Dance, with the understanding that the business entity is a hivelike structure focused on supporting freedom, artistry and boundless pleasures.

BUSINESSES.

[redsoil]

With a focus on art, cuisine, music and theatre, the Last Dance is a front for a vast network of intermingling cultures that reflect both the joyous remembrances of Springstar with the austere hopes of Highstorm. Businesses within the Last Dance range from dark corner taverns rife with exotic perfumes and smoke, inhabited by salt-of-the-earth old-timers trading the same stories again and again, to golden displays of theatrical might with cavorting dancers and entertainers upon makeshift, pop-up stages a la Cirque de Soleil.

[ THE SEVEN BLACK OATHS. ]

[redsoil]

█ One of the many businesses embedded within the Last Dance, the Seven Black Oaths is a dusky, occult-style venue known for prioritizing esoteric knowledge, otherworldly theorem and the anonymity of patrons. Like a private gentleman's club, individuals rent or purchase the small booths within, and are granted membership and status; known as "taking the Oath", it is the first and foremost step towards becoming a member of the secretive and defensive network within.
