Place · Book 4, The Gate of the Feral Gods

The Desperado Club

Known in the first book only as a dagger tattoo burned onto Carl's neck and Donut's shoulder out of a Bronze Asshole's Box, three drink tickets, and a warning that holding a Desperado Pass forfeits a Vanquisher pass. Mordecai will not discuss it before the third floor.

Arc

A dive bar in Hump Town with a third bodyguard, Very Sullen, the Penis Parade's hats and boas, and a booth where the tomb raiders get their map (ch. 7, ch. 8); an office where a Syndicate liaison sits (ch. 19); the Silk Road's Pustule for detonator pus. Its door is the requirement for a rescue: every gate opens from a Desperado, and a bubble whose entry pub is destroyed cannot be reached (ch. 32, ch. 33). Katia's last hug is at its ground-level entrance (ch. 33). The ninth floor's entrance bar is drowned with the market (ch. 34).
