Place · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

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

Orren's office is entered through it (ch. 1); its Zockau entrance collapses on the hunters inside (ch. 5); Hurk designed it and is paid in compliments (ch. 31, ch. 33). By the end its floors are segregated, a hidden stair connects the bathrooms, and the Hunting Grounds level's casino carpet leads to the liaison again (ch. 58, ch. 59).
