The Other Side Diner's VIP Lounge
From Changeling Venue
After knocking an intricate rhythm while holding the door handle, Tom opens the door at the back of the restaurant. The air swirls and shimmers before you. As you cross the threshold, the door closes behind you. You follow the stocky brewer up the stairs, the stairwell illuminated dimly by wall sconces, to a room reminiscent of a Victorian parlour with mahogany walls and plush red couches. A crackling hearth provides enough warmth to be comfortable, and the scent of mulling spices fills the air. The room is lit in a comfortable autumnal twilight. This place bears an Otherworldly essence, and rightly so; you are within the hollow of the Upstairs Underground -- the area of the Other Side Diner that is truly a safe house for Lost.
There is a bar in the far corner of the parlour, which appears to be well-stocked with bottles of interesting shapes and diverse colours. You think that you see one labelled, "Essence of Bitter Spirits." Polished brass bar taps, again of fanciful design, stand prominently on the bar.
The room appears to be at once cozy and yet capacious enough to fit a freehold of at least two dozen Lost comfortably. However, there are side doors that ostensibly lead to other chambers.
Tom takes his customary place behind the bar and asks, "Oi! Wot can I get'cha?"

Unless you've made special arrangements with Tom, however, you cannot stay for too long in the Lounge. Return to the diner?
