008: THE INTERGALACTIC LOUNGE

THE VEILED VAULT — Intergalactic Nexus Lounge

“Here, the law wears perfume. Secrets cost gold. And no weapon dares to sing unless it’s dancing.”

🪔 What Is the Veiled Vault?

The Veiled Vault is the most sacred and scandalous rogue bar in the Myrran Spiral — a space-temple carved into the side of the gravity-warped planet *Valen Myrr*, cloaked from imperial systems. It’s part upscale lounge, part ceremonial bathhouse, part mercenary temple. Here, sovereigns toast beside spies. Warriors wash off war beside cosmic cartographers. It’s where rebellion and reverence drink together.

• Location: Inside a dormant obsidian volcano, floating within the orbit-bent fog rings of Valen Myrr
• Access: Chi-key imprint or blood-signature invitation
• Protection: Anti-weapon resonance field + truthbinding vow seal at threshold

🏛️ Interior Architecture

• Main Hall: Double-tier dome with golden star-lanterns, obsidian columns, and velvet-lit alcoves. Central ring bar shaped like a celestial spiral.
• Bar Platform: Molten-glass counters that shift color based on drinker’s mood. Bartenders are AI-spirit hybrids called *Siphons*, each trained in mind-reading mixology.
• Stage & Circle Floor: Rotating performance platform with holographic projection fields. Dancers, spoken-word mystics, alien violinists.
• The Ember Spa: Geo-heated soaking pools + salt steam vents. Includes suspended moon-massage nets and scent-coded chakra treatments.
• Private Deal Chambers: 13 velvet-draped pods, sound-sealed, cloaked in time-bend. Patrons negotiate in silence or through light language.
• The Spiral Vault Room: High-stakes backroom for illegal auction rites, memory trading, soul contracts, and artifact bartering.
• Sleeping Sanctums: 7 overnight chambers for rogue diplomats, lovers, or soul-weary wanderers — memory foam shaped like celestial bodies.
• Kitchen of Everspice: Open flame galley led by twin chefs from the planet *Kuro’neth* — menu rotates with lunar tides. Includes:
  • Smoked Starlight Noodles
  • Chi-Infused Spiral Dumplings
  • Venusian Wine Fog Cocktails
  • Zero-G Crème Blight for dessert

🧬 Who Comes Here?

• Runeblade Mercenaries: Tattooed time-shifters who carry contracts in their bones
• Broken Priests: Exiled monks who now serve truth through illicit poetry and drink
• Imperial Defectors: Former strategists turned smugglers turned mentors-for-hire
• Offworld Courtesans: Genderless beauty-sculptors fluent in 300 languages of touch
• Art Dealers: Brokers of banned works, soul portraits, and haunted star maps
• Star Orphans: Childlike seers abandoned in warp storms, now singing futures in riddles

👑 The Owner: Queen Seliyah of the Thirteenth Ring

Background: Once a cosmic war bride offered to a tyrant planet, Seliyah poisoned the priest who sealed the bond and burned the veil. She returned to Valen Myrr and claimed the dormant Vault by right of blood-ritual combat and lunar inheritance.

Appearance: Midnight skin with iridescent tattoos that shift when she lies. Wears silk armor laced with diamond dust. One eye sees the future. The other sees the wound in your past.

Power: Enforces all agreements in the Vault with her Will Mark — a psychic imprint that binds soul to vow. She can erase your name from memory… or crown you sovereign over an empire of thieves.
