No one shall
play without signed waivers and checklists.
I have to
admit when Dakota Trace came to me and said; “Hey, have you seen the new sub
call?” I was a little apprehensive. In about six or eight lines, we were given
directions for what Decadent wanted in our stories. A little mystery. A dash of
steel. And a hint of whips. Thrown all together you get The Carnivore Club.
But, it was new. The only directive we got…be creative. Big no-no for someone
like me. I will go balls to the walls and design this elaborate club, because
once I get started, I don’t know where to stop. With that in mind, I sat down
with Dakota and we started planning. The biggest question, if this was our
place to play in, what would we want? What would stand out as cool and unusual?
As you’ve seen
in Dakota’s post, we went underground. We built The Devil’s Playground into a
mine shaft. But, how did we keep it a secret? How did we continuously surprise
our guests? Well it all starts in the ballroom.
Like with any
ballroom, the place is opulent. High vaulted ceilings with chandeliers. Natural
toned marble floors to match the playground below and in the middle of it all
is a giant star—which is so much more than it seems. The room is circular with
six archways leading to different areas attached to the space. Of course to the
naked eye, you would hardly notice any of it. We wanted everything to appear
seamless.
In a way you
can call Dakota and I magicians. And, like every good magician, we won’t tell
you our secrets. However, at midnight, all of our surprises will be revealed. You
can see for yourself in Kotori’s Sacrifice, The Bodyguard and The Dom and Their
Secretary. You’ll experience with the characters how the ballroom transforms
into something more.
As for the
Masquerade itself, we wanted to do something a little different. Since 1Night
Stand is famous for putting together two people who sometimes don’t know each
other or in some cases do know each other, we wanted to have a little fun. Play
with the matchmaking a little. As soon as Kate said, the club is brand new and
just opening, I jumped at the chance to make it a party. So, once Dakota and I
got the basic concept of the ballroom and the playground drawn up, we started
on the idea for the ball.
We wanted
something that would fit the theme of the club, so we started throwing titles
out. Saints and Sinners, Good and Evil, and Devils and Angels to name a few.
But, for it to have more of BDSM vibe, we went a little dirty and a little
gritty. As soon as Dakota popped off with Sins of the Angels, I automatically
saw a demon spanking an angel. Kinky, I know, but it worked.
Once we had
the title, it was easy to come up with the dress code and the costumes were
provided by Madame Eve. Some are book characters and some are anime. While
others are mythical creatures. In order to for the characters to find their
date for the evening, they had to search for their match. For my two stories, I
chose Faust (The devil and the virgin maiden) and Dracula. (Dracula, Jonathan
Harker, and Mina.)
In the end,
what I believe we’re both hoping for is to entertain, you, our readers. We want
you to have an amazing time in the little world we created, and to keep coming
back for more. As of right now, I am working on another story centered at The
Carnivore Club and it will involve two of the characters you’ll meet in both
mine and Dakota’s stories.
