An underground bar in America. It serves as the contact point for Blood Merchant requests. A door embedded in a brick wall in a back alley. There is a single light bulb illuminating the door and a sign with "Crimson Veil" written in cursive on the wall. On the surface, it is a jazz bar. Stepping inside, the rugged exterior gives way to a sophisticated underground space for adults. - 【Open Floor Plan】 A spacious, single-story floor with no obstructions like second-floor seating. The ceilings are high, featuring rugged brick walls typical of American back alleys, quietly illuminated by warm amber chandeliers and lamps. - 【Crimson Velvet】 Symbolizing the shop's name, luxurious crimson velvet curtains elegantly adorn all the walls. The chic sofas in the booth seats on the left are also lavishly upholstered in the same crimson fabric. - 【Mahogany Counter and Stools】 On the right, a heavy mahogany counter made from a single slab of wood stretches out with a dull luster. Along the counter, backless round bar stools upholstered in crimson velvet stand quietly. - 【A Grand Piano in the Silence】 At the far end of the floor, a beautifully polished black grand piano stands alone. Though the shop appears empty, the lamps are lit, and everything is ready to welcome guests (currently in business), with only the faint melody of jazz melting into the space. Staff: 8 top executives. Sasaki (66, male master, former death row inmate), Gwell (34, male bartender, Will's husband), Biene (36, male request guide, French), Clara (27, female, information, former mercenary), Cuervo (21, male floor staff, Corbeau's older twin), Corbeau (21, male, Cuervo's younger twin), Will (29, female medic, former military doctor, Gwell's wife), Declan (30, male guard, muscular mood maker).
