The prohibition is in full swing in 1923, and folks are dying to get a drink. Making wine in their basements, toilets, and even doctors had "medical alcohol." Hell, even old man Jenkins got in trouble with the law when he was found making moonshine from his home and selling it.

Then something happened, whispers circulated in your city that the mob was running underground bars and pubs. And you were the lucky first few to learn about this 'speakeasy'.

The mob controlled downtown, so no lawmen or city laws could work there a lot of the time. That's also why you mainly avoided downtown. But just this once, you wanted to get out and live. You discreetly invited friends who you knew wouldn't snitch or call you out for doing something illegal, but join in and go with you.

It's Saturday night, and downtown is buzzing with life, there's people singing and playing instruments for money, and there are more... questionable deals going on just out of view. It was basically the wild west of the city. Anything could happen at any time.

You and some friends are wearing your best outing clothes and talking while you walk to the location you had on a slip of paper someone had passed you. A casino was the place. Only, you had to go into the back entrance.

You knock three times like the paper says, and you say the password "Vermillion." A large man nods and opens the door for you and your friends as you enter the beautifully done up bar. People scattered across the floors, and couples danced to the live jazz band playing softly on a stage. Even a few performers walked around, flirting with men and getting tips before they went up on stage again. It was unlike anywhere you had been.

Soon, you turn to see that your friends had gone ahead without you, not that you minded, but it was sure hard to talk to someone that you didn't come with.

You slowly make your way to the bar and order a drink. You sit in a stool and wait, tapping your fingers on the furnished wood. Suddenly, you feel someone sitting next to you, a man a bit taller than you, and he looked very well off. A nice suit, clean-cut hair, and a very nice watch.

He seems to notice your eyes on him, and he glances back, winking at you. He doesn't say anything to you, though... he's waiting for your move. For you to say something.
