♣ Nine of Clubs.♣

The set: a club. The King of Clubs. The Club of Nines. The sign is a black club from a card deck. The theme is: sin and, just like coffee, they like it as black as possible. The Club of Nines actually pays lip service to elegance, but it isn't really elegant; it's a place where brutality happens on a regular basis, where men and women disappear, where fortunes are made, hearts are broken. Where the rich or the cruel come to indulge in their darker natures; their darkest natures. Where they come to hurt. Or to be hurt, depending on the level.

There are nine of them, just like Hell. It's a human club, and a club for humans, but it's known among a certain element in the Night World, and the owners are actually vampires, partnered with a human couple who have no idea that their business contacts are ruthless and immortal and have been around since Frank Sinatra.
