Halloween Festivities At Fang Noir
Victoria had been determined, absolutely fixated, on not making Fang Noir a parody of its successful self.
It could not really be categorised as a 'nightclub', but whatever it was, the venue was geared towards the exploration of darker impulses and the last thing the vampiress wanted was for it to degrade into a stereotype of horror.
She drew the line at advertising the Halloween celebrations as 'fanged festivities'. That far and no more!
Really, this sort of a thing was a compromise. She knew enough about occult subjects to realise that it was not a time of year meant for 'evil', so much as appearing to signify a weakening of the barriers between this and other worlds.
Still, business came first... For Fang Noir, it was like Christmas.
For that reason, tonight had no specific historical theme, which made it something of an exception to the rule. It was more one to do with darkness in general. A sort of overview, as it were, meant to represent a culmination of the entire year's thematic luxury.
The entire place was now fitted out like a cross between butcher's paradise and HR Giger landscape come to life. One would not find pretend pumpkins and plastic skeletons here. Not in Fang Noir! No, Victoria had made sure it would be... Well, she had described it as being akin "to an erotic horror film," but even that seemed to fail to do it justice.
It was an artistic marvel. It was glorious temptation personified in architectural decoration.
Even an entity like Elfleda would feel at home in there.
Victoria was dressed as a vampiric Princess. An enriched, costumed tapestry of femininity, black cloak and knives. If ever she looked the part of a fanged temptress, it would be now.
And, if truth were told, she was hoping to engage in more than a few satisfying bites, tonight.
"OK, it's time!" She decided; features shifting to those of the vampiric, as she took her seat in the banquet hall. Those who wished to come straight through would be allowed, as ever. Any who wished to adopt some of the available costumes, however, would drift into the changing rooms first.
Either way, it was going to be fun.
"Let 'em in!"
Outside, the doors opened and Fang Noir's most auspicious night began.
