The Shade

Picture, in your mind's eye, the perfect place to have a discussion. Whether it be a casual, banter-filled conversation, or a strict and heated debate, this particular place cannot go wrong for you. What do you picture? Is it a luxury jazz bar with silken seats, picture-perfect lighting, and a private entourage of musicians reproducing your favorite track? Or, perhaps, it is a scabrous pub hidden-away on some corner of a village backroad, filled with patrons freely dolling out their lives' stories, with voices as loud as the liquor in their hands? Maybe, it's simply your own home.

That place is The Shade, the second veil of the Branglesphere, and domain of the Fuck Boy Phantom. The Shade is a place where patrons can take a load off, have a good drink, and unload their troubles with others like themselves. It is an establishment of the highest caliber, and aims to provide a curated experience for all of its patrons. The Shade is a place where you are free to speak your mind, and become acquainted with your own person.

Phantom is the owner and manager of The Shade, and controls its every aspect with the power of his Tabilities. Akin to a director, he carefully designs each form of The Shade to provide an oasis for travelers of the rocky road. Everything from the lighting, to the scents in the air, to the feel of the furniture is a result of Phantom's deliberations - even the working staff are his carefully crafted creations. The one thing Phantom does not create are the patrons, who, to have arrived upon the same form of The Shade, must be kindred spirits.

While The Shade sits at the second veil, there are entrances to the establishment located all over the Branglesphere. The rocky road can be a long and harsh walk. Whenever one feels fatigue in one's bones, or doubts gnawing at the fringes of one's spirit, look for the signs - they are easy to spot. So, come into The Shade, have a drink, a good meal, a healthy chat, and night's rest. Tomorrow will come, and your will renewed.
