  The hour is late at the nightclub dubbed Seventh Circle, and you knock upon the heavy back door. The viewing hatch opens, and pale eyes meet your own. A moment passes, and the door opens, if only a short ways. The man asks for your name. You tell him. He glances down at his list, and looks you over one last time. The corners of his mouth curl into a smile, and he stands aside, holding the door open.

  The Seventh Circle is a popular nightclub situated on the outskirts of downtown New York, tucked away within a narrow alleyway neighbored by other bars and lounges. It boasts an urban aesthetic, with a street-inspired clubroom and an adjacent luxury seated bar for gentler patrons. The ambiance is painted by red neons, and drinks are served from 8PM - 4AM, Mondays 'til Saturdays.
  
  Humankind frequent the club, though those of the monstrous sort have a particular affinity for the club's alter ego, The Midnight Meat Market.
  
  At the stroke of Midnight every Wednesday and Saturday, the club's heavy basement door is unlocked and manned by a bouncer. Those with their names printed on the VIP list are then given access to the underground sales room, designed for the purpose of housing and selling human livestock. Patrons generally consist of the flesh-eating sort, though vampires frequently attend to seek new bloodbags and thralls. Few questions are asked upon entry, though infiltrators are dealt with in a swift and efficient manner.
  
  Access to The Midnight Meat Market is gained by word of mouth. Newcomers must be signed in by a current patron; otherwise, a weekly-changing password must be given to the bouncer at the door. With the latter method, the newcomer will still be unable to enter the market on that day and must return for the next opening when their name is on the list.
  
  The club was founded by the malevolent Ser Janusz Koltyk, and is kept stocked by The Warden. Livestock is usually selected from club attendees throughout the week. Suitable stock is added to The Warden's hit-list, and is soon hunted down. Though the market usually only sells live human meat, it may sometimes advertise more exotic stock, most popularly half-demons and succubine creatures.
