Lobby
A large room that is fairly large and open, the size of a small shop. The floor is covered by a thick plush carpet and the walls are covered by a dark purple, silk fabric that moves gently with the flow of the air conditioning. The sounds of the clubs inside can be heard within the room. There is a large oak counter that serves as a coat and hat check with a young woman standing behind the counter. Across the far wall is a large red crushed velvet couch and large plants sit in each corner of the room. Across from the entrance is another set of oak double doors that lead into Limbo next to a set of the stairs that lead down into Hell. The room is filled with patrons who want to get away from the music and crowds. A security camera behind the counter and several bouncers watch over the room.

Dress Code:
The bouncers here maintain a strict yet unwritten entrance policy which stresses style more than anything else. A 17 year old, properly dressed, has a better chance of getting in than does a successful 30 year old yuppie in a leisure suit. They are more on the look out for the unstylish than the underage. If you are dressed in a t-shirt and jeans or the like, chances are that you will NOT be allowed in. Make sure that you are properly dressed before proceeding further.
Privacy:
The top two floors are the only parts of the club other than the store rooms and offices which is not accessible to the general public. One of these, the third floor, sees almost no visitors. The owner keeps this level as their private penthouse. Please do not go to those floors unless invited. Thank you.
Limbo
Once inside the club, most visitors immediately notice the state-of-the-art sound system and immense amplifiers. The bass amps remain constantly pointed at the floor, and no matter what the DJs play, the floor pulses with the rhythm. Other prominent features include a huge dance floor and a huge rectangular bar featuring a wide variety of brand names.
Three hanging dance floors also provide needed space for the large number of people crowding into the club. Accessible via spiral staircases from the ground floor. The dance floors are the only well-lit areas on the ground floor. Arranged in the blackness surrounding it sits tables, chairs and two bars. Billowing cigarette smoke makes the room seem even darker than it is. Waitresses rely more on memory than sight to find the way from the bars to their customers. The bars have just enough light for the bartenders to see what they are doing, but little more.
On the right side of the club are stairs going up to the balcony level and above. In the far left corner is a stairway going down to Hell. In the very rear of the club is a storage area with freight doors and a loading dock on the outside. On each side of the storage area are fire exits which are locked from the outside but provide easy access to the parking lot in back of the club.

Bands:
When a band plays either level, bouncers guard the stairwells to make sure no one sees the show for free. During these times bouncers have hand stamps for both levels, and those trying to go from one to the other have to pay the appropriate cover charge which range from $10 to $25 depending on the day of the week and who the band is.
Music:
Usually the club features Industrial dance music, and DJs have been known to play entire CDs from Sisters of Mercy non-stop. Sometimes, live bands play on the larger hanging dance floor which has been transformed into a stage. These bands range from local unknown bands to mainstream goth bands. These band include The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, AFI and others of the like.
Security:
There are several bouncers positioned throughout the club and keep the place remarkably free of trouble. There are several bouncers that move through the dance floors to keep a close eye out for punks, whose combat boots have been known to do severe damage to the floor when they begin stomping around and are thus "encouraged" to patronize the less elegant basement club. There are also security cameras placed throughout the club.

Heaven
Accessible via staircases in the right of the club, Heaven lies fifteen feet above the ground floor, but it might as well be a hundred for all the differences between the two levels. The view from this balcony of the dance floors serves as it's main attraction, but those who spend any time up here have found Heaven and Limbo to be almost a completely different clubs. Since the design of the sound system aims most of the music at the dance floor, the balcony remains relatively quiet and people are able to carry on conversations without having to scream in each others ears. It runs completely around the walls of the club, and the club's older patrons tend to stay here, leaving the dance floor to the young and energetic.
The club's most sophisticated patrons can be found here as well, sipping wine and mixed drinks from the elaborate balcony bar. The bar has a wider selection, the teak wood tables are more widely spaced and the chairs much more plush than those found below. Ceiling fans keep the smoke filled air circulating, and several well-clad waiters move agilely between the tables, delivering drinks and notes. In a separate part of the balcony, the DJ's work their magic, spinning CDs well above the crowd who so enjoy their talents. The center of the club is opened and one can easily look down into the club below and watch the dancers below. Along the wall is a black ladder that leads up to the rafters and catwalk above. Behind the large bar is a set of stairs that lead up to the third floor, but is unavailable to the public.

Bands:
When live bands play, the balcony stays packed with fans, but bouncers make sure they do not get into the area behind the hanging stage. At other times, the bouncers assigned to this area have little to do as undesirables generally find the cloying, upper crust atmosphere most inhospitable. When Blood Dolls do make their way up the stairs they quickly discover how out of place they are, and soon leave.

Catwalk and Rafters
A series of catwalks run across the third story of Haven, supporting the club's sound and lighting systems. A lattice of wooden beams criss-crosses the fourth floor, providing both support for the building as well as across to the roof and electrical system. From up here, patrons can look down at the club below.
Both these setups have provided a great deal of amusement for gutsy patrons, while a number of Blood Dolls who have come up here for privacy is small but growing. Random graffiti and occasional splotches of blood mark their visits. Those who are really brave have even dive down into the Limbo's massive dance floor below.
VIP Suite
Here, those patrons that are on the owner's good side relax in the plush luxury of the fourth-floor observation lounge, sipping wine and enjoying each others company. A large, black, over stuffed couch sits along the far wall and another two on either side, forming a horseshoe shape. In the center of the couches is a glass coffee table. A local florist brings a collection of fresh flowers to liven up the rooms each day. Against the eastern wall is a fully stocked bar next to an open doorway that leads into a small art gallery. Across from the couches, the wall is made completely out of glass, with a large sliding glass door in the center, which overlook the entire club.

Bands:
When bands play the club, however, the suite takes on an entirely different character. The band members, their entourage and everyone else who can wrangle a backstage pas pack the upstairs. Two bartenders work the bar and at least one waitress moves in and out of the crowd, carrying food and drinks on silver-gilded trays. When the time comes for the band members to take the stage, they open the glass doors, head downstairs to the elevator and then ride it to the balcony level.

Stairwell
A well lit and very nice looking stairwell. The ground is covered by a red carpet and the walls have a dark oak paneling. The walls have various art hanging. Along the wall is a solid oak door. Next to the stairs leading down is another set that leads up to the next floor. Across from the stairs is an archway that leads out onto the catwalk.
Hallway
A long hallway that has an oak door at either end as well as one along the end. The floor is covered by dark gray marble tiles and the walls are painted in an off white color. There are several wall lamps that illuminate the hallway and in between the lamps are various paintings from different artists.
Storage Room
A large store room that is filled with boxes and furniture that have been put away. The furniture are all covered in a white sheet. There are various of other items, passing the time in this room. Along the walls are shelves of various papers and business records that have gathered through the years. A single large lamp provides the lighting for the room. The floor is covered with white tiles and the walls are painted on off white. One area near the back corner remains clear of clutter. There's another oak door that leads into a full bathroom.
Cell (Hidden)
This is a small cell that is completely bare save for two sets of arm and leg manacles bolted to the wall and a single bare light-bulb. This is the only room on this level with a window, though a thick metal plate covers it and it is secured with a combination padlock. The walls, floor and ceiling are all made of gray cinder block and concrete.

Manacles:
Characters may notice that if the window were opened, sunlight would shine light directly on to where one of the sets of manacles have been stationed.
Bedroom
The sanctum sanctorum. The bedroom is a large room that is completely windowless. A large canopied water bed dominates the room, and the only other furnishings present are a luxurious armchair and a small coffee table. Along the far wall is a large walk in closet and a door that leads into a full bathroom. Hanging from the center of the room is a dimmed chandelier, providing the only light. The floors are covered by a plush, blood red carpet while the colors of the walls are hard to tell in the color.

Bed:
Only the closest of examinations will reveal the scattered bloodstains around the room, and such an investigation would require more light than the dimmed chandelier provides. There is no light switch in the room to raise up the light.
Private Lounge
The private lounge overlooks the balcony much as the the balcony does the dance floor. The floor is covered with a red plush carpet and the walls are covered with a colonial wood paneling. There are several lamps spread throughout the room. There are two large, fully stocked bar and a large black overstuffed couches. Across from the couches is a large open bay window that overlooks Heaven. Soft classical music plays through an expensive looking stereo system.

Office
The office is a fairly large room with a wooden desk and a black leather chair behind it. In front of the desk are two chairs along the west wall is filled with a row of filing cabinets. Along the east wall is a water cooler with a small trash can next to it. There are several paintings by unknown artists. The floor is covered by a blood red carpet. Next to the cabinets is a table with a large amount of monitors on it and a DVR for each monitor.
Hell
The city's more dangerous elements seem always supernaturally attracted to the club's notorious basement. Speed metal, punk, militant rap and other violent bands play this level, attracting a bewildering assortment of fans from the dregs of society. Gang members dressed to the hilt and bedecked in gold stand next to punks in torn shirts and leather pants while watching long-haired metal fans compare tattoos. When they feel they need privacy, they slip off into the darkness of the Labyrinth, a huge maze which runs along the outside of the basement. In its various nooks and crannies dealers hawk their wares, couples embrace in passion and Blood Dolls share their blood. A small bar sits to the right of the stage. Below the stage is a mosh pit that has been dug into the ground.
There are four entrances, though only two are available to the general public. The most commonly used entrance feds in from the parking lot. The less commonly used entrance comes from the heavily populated ground floor. There is another bar at the south western end of the room with four pool tables. While the lack of exits makes the basement appear to be the worst sort of fire hazard, the fact that it is made of all brick and concrete, as well as the state-of-the-art sprinkler system means that fires could do little physical damage here.

Bands:
When prominent bands play down here, the line to get in weaves in and out between the stationary cars in the parking lot, sometimes setting off a car alarm when those who have waited the longest sit upon the hood of some Yuppie's BMW. The cover charge is between $10 and $20.

Parking Lot
The parking lot sorely lacks enough space to meet the demand, so cars circling the block on the hunt for a space bags down with taxis, buses and through traffic. The lot is fully enclosed in a chain link fence with razor wire on the top, mostly for looks. Two large bouncers stand on either side of a set of concrete stairs that lead to a single metal door below a red neon sign that reads 'Hell' that leads down to the basement. The bouncers make sure that no one takes drinks outside the club and that they pay the cover charge.

Traffic:
From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekends, the average speed rarely exceeds 5 MPH. While nowhere near as crowded on the weeknights, the club still manages to draw on a large regular clientele. When open, Haven is never empty.
