Carnival of Calamity» The Carnival of Calamity is the only five star hotel in the city; it looms high above most of the buildings, it being located within the neutral territory. The outside is beautifully done in dark green, any and all borders done in cherry mahogany. Beyond the double doors is a foyer, a check in desk sitting on the far wall, usually occupied by the Hotel's employees. This being quite the swank place, the foyer leads off to a set of stairs, or two other rooms. One is a lounge, full of leather couches and chairs, a bar set against the wall; also occupied by an employee. The other room is a dining room, set in a restaurant style, chandeliers high above the wonderful tables that spring up from the ground like polished iron mushrooms. Up the stairs (Or the elevators for the lazy) lay the next couple floors that hold nothing but high class rooms.

The Carnival of Calamity had been Noel's cash cow from the very beginning; it was how she had built her fortune in this world of death, feeding off of the higher up society's need for privacy. What was the carnival's purpose? It was a five star hotel, ran by the mistress herself, as was security. Those who were caught stealing from the premises or taking a free night in a room got to spend one on one time with Noel -- And no one wanted to do that, especially when her palms itched to hold the leather handle of a flogger or a bullwhip. If she were to catch someone, well, let's just say they wouldn't want years of training and disuse to crash upon them.
Two days the hotel had mysteriously been closed, no lights on anywhere on the premises, no signs of life or death to be sighted anywhere. Noel had also been missing for two days; so what was the big mystery? Easy -- She had called a meeting between sects. The master/mistress of each sect was to be closed up in the hotel for two days and nights to mix and mingle - Make friends or enemies within the confines of the hotel. Once in, after a certain time, there would be no leaving for those two days. Alcohol and food would be served at all times and the patrons would be given their own private room; though whose room they stayed in was up to them.
Finally when all light of day cease to be, the hotel lit up like a christmas tree, beckoning to those that were to make their way there to the sit down. A 'sit down' was just another name for a party for leaders -- Not that she wanted to do this, but it was always wise to announce that you had taken over, right? Do a bit of grandstanding, getting to know each other and then everyone could go home happy. Golden hair was plaited back in a french braid, strips of black, white, red and purple silk braided into the thick locks. Very little makeup graced her face, only a bit of mascara and shadow to enhance the look of her two different colored eyes.
The doors had been unlocked, a doorman waiting infront of the double doors, a guestlist within his gloves palms. Noel, on the other hand, was within the lounge, a glass of champagne enclosed within delicate fingers. The cocktail dress she wore was made entirely out of little black, red and purple glass beads, the pieces so small that there were thousands upon thousands woven into the garment. Each of the little ornaments caught the light as she shifted, long legs set out beside her on the leather couch as she waited. It was her hotel after all, and she could lounge as she wanted -- It was quite the regal pose, the ethereal critter awaiting her prey to come in the front doors.
