Them Dang Other Things (OOC )
The Golden Swan.
It's a high society place of the type you need a membership card for - they come in rainbow colors, starting at indigo for regular guests for the nominal fee of ¥1 and going to blue for public figures not needing to pay, which would include the president for example. The closer you go to blue the more money you pay (and the more help you'll get from the club members - everyone orange-red and above is in some way involved in power plays of one sort or the other,while at orange you'll find a lot of high class runners and hitmen and the like). There are a lot of rumors about the amount of money needed to buy a violet card.
The Golden Swan picks members above yellow-green level carefully. Simple starlets or net personalities rarely advance beyond unless they are really really rich and stop the shenanigans. Generally, the members of this club prefer privacy over publicity.
The Golden Swan is notorious for getting almost any band - lots of them jazz groups or modern classics - to play at their locations and they also host a number of artistic variétés (don't ever say variety here!), poetry slams and readings of famous authors. The artwork keeps changing irregularly, because the artists exhibiting here do so to sell - for exorbitant prices, but then, they also have to pay the club a fee unless they are members. A year ago, the World Championship in conservative dance were held in the Golden Swan in Washington. It will probably not happen ever again because one of the commentators had referred to the club manager as "slightly on the fat side."
There are 9 Golden Swans throughout the world. The owner, a female mountain dragon named Tazia, supposedly claimed that having lots of clubs was a fine thing, but having 10 would be just too excessive.
There is no matrix access in the club's main halls for security reasons. Drone cameras are used, and they are all kept off the matrix until their memory is read and do not have remote access at all - they follow pre-programmed flight paths or hover in place. This makes for a better security in some way, but to have a quick response for problems, the Golden Swan relies on magic. There are as many rumors about at least half the security staff being dragons. It is yet another rumor that Lofwyr was asked about this once, and almost could not stop laughing. Of course this only meant that there are now theories about him laughing not at a ridiculous idea, but being amused that no one has found out yet that they are all dragons.
The club encourages all the rumors.
To begin with, the card color would probably be normal orange.
