The Candy Store is a relatively new club but has already picked up a large clientele. With over 10,000 people walking through the doors every night the Candy Store is becoming a popular night spot for all kinds of Operatives.

The Candy Store is a three storey building about 4 miles from Central. It sits on the corner of Westland and Grat street and is automatically recognisable by the two huge candy stripe pillars that mark the main entrance to the club.

The candy motif is continued inside with all the tables and bar surfaces being made of brightly coloured sweet rappers sealed under Anti-Shock glass. The dance floors are also decorated this way. The main dance floor is surrounded by 12 candy stripe pillars.

The clubs ground floor covers 250,000 square feet and is split into three areas: nightclub, private bars and restaurant.

The nightclub has four dance floors and there are several bar areas around the walls of the club. The lighting and sound system are suspended above the main club area and was designed and fitted by the famous High-Zip entertainment specialists. The club is bright and noisy affair with most of the decor being in primary colours. All The walls of the club are painted with React ^(tm) a paint that alters it's colour depending on what sound and light frequencies it's exposed to. The nature of the lighting/sound system allows this to be altered to make the club a much darker affair, especial on Freaky Friday.

The restaurant area is set slightly above the dance floors of the main club. The restaurant is fitted with a static sound wall to cut out most of the decibels from the rest of the club.

At the back of the ground floor there is, what looks like a street front complete with road and side walk. This street is the private bar area. It consists of 20 bars that are independent of the rest of the club. These bars can be hired and an hourly rate of 50 Credits/hour. This will give you and up to 20 friends your own private bar for the evening with your own personal barman. If a specific member of staff is requested an advanced booking may be required.

The second floor of the club is taken up by the Fusion Cart garages and race track. This area is open every night and has to be booked in advance, normally 2 weeks. There are time trials, challenge matches and a Cart League that can me entered. The Fusion Carts are capable of speeds of 120mph. There are 40 Fusion Carts available at any one time with the track able to accommodate 15 for any one race. The Carts bodywork and colour schemes are designed by Calaharvey.

The third floor of houses the administration offices and staff areas for the club it also holds the Ebon Visage System that is used mainly on Ebon only nights. The Ebon Visage System is basically a huge VR system that is similar to the ones found in the Pit. The Visage looks like a huge Ebon swimming pool and can hold up to 100 people at any one time.

Staff

General Manager

Artisan (Human, SCL 4, Age: 46, Gender: Male)
A tall slim man with little in the way to distinguish him from any other face in a crowd has been employed by SLA for 28 years. The first ten of those was spent as an operative working in Mort City. After a rather nasty BPN that ended with the deaths of his entire squad he left that side of his employment behind. Travelling to New Paris he found further employment working as a security for the various clubs and bars there. He returned to Mort almost five years ago and has worked in most of the popular bars including The Pit. Now a recognised face on the entertainment circuit Artisan is well versed in the running of nightclubs of any size. He is a friendly outgoing man with a pleasant nature and always has time to talk to the patrons of the club.

Security Manager

Yanarow (Wraith, SCL 4, Age: 28, Gender: Male)
Being an "old" Wraith Yanarow has been an operative for SLA since he was a cub and has lived his life exclusively on Mort. He has went through a number of carrier changes in his life and is well known throughout the various departments of SLA. His last appointment ended somewhat prematurely when involved in a altercation with a few late night revilers in which he took a bite out of a corporates wife. Now working with long time friend Artisan Yanarow seems to have calmed down and leaves the dirty work to his security personnel. A rather aloof person Yanarow seldom talks to anybody except Artisan and his security teams.

Entertainments Manager

Grin (Brain Waster, SCL 4, Age 28, Gender: Male)
Perhaps not everyone's first choice for an entertainment manager Grin performs his duties with a passion and "aggression" seldom seen in the industry. He is the original "party animal" with an eye for the current and future trends. His talents are such that even The Pit have copied some of his theme nights. Never stopping Grin is always out and about looking for new venues for his famous "Mystery Tours" some of which have ended with the issue of a Red BPN to control the chaos he often leaves behind. On any given night you can find him running around the club talking, dancing and generally enjoying his job far too much. Those he talks to all have the same opinion of him "For a mad bastard Brain Waster he's really cool."

Security Controller

Neon (Xeno, SCL 5, Age: 3)
One of the many Stormers employed at The Candy Store Neon is a large and very brash character. Very aggressive and generally unpleasant to club patrons. His duties include organising the door staff and keeping Yanarow informed of any and all happening. Well equipped to deal with practically any situation thanks to 10,000 credits worth of Stormer Configuration* implants Neon is a rather impressive looking members of security. Neon's skin is normally a bright blue but changes depending on the situation. If there is a possible security threat it turns black and if there is an actual fight it turns bright red. A good indicator as to the general mood of the club is to look at what colour Neon's skin is. *Quad-Limb Dominion, Assertion Tendons (x3), Maul Claw and Teeth Enhancers and Lash Vertebrae Elongation.

Security Teams

On busy nights there are normally seven teams operating in the club with another team operating crowed control at the doors to the club.These teams consist of a Stormer (313) an Ebon or Brain Waster and two or three humans (augmented), there is an occasional Frother on some of the teams but only on Clan nights.

All are well versed in the making of all the popular and some of the more obscure cocktails. They also are required to double up as waiting staff for the restaurant.

Tour Staff

"The Candy Store or should that be the money pit? Even though this nightclub has some of the best entertainment and events it still has been shunned by some of the more prominent socialites because it is far to expensive. Artisan, manager, was unavailable for comment..."
