Salty Badger Diner
The Salty Badger Diner is a gritty 24-hour establishment near Crescent City's docks, its flickering neon sign featuring a weathered badger holding a saltshaker. Inside, the diner feels like a relic of the past, with cracked vinyl booths, checkered floors, and the scent of greasy burgers and burnt coffee hanging thick in the air. The regulars—dockworkers, drifters, and the occasional vampire—are served by Nina, the sharp-eyed waitress who misses nothing. While its worn decor suggests a simple greasy spoon, the Salty Badger hides a darker side; its back room is known for hosting clandestine meetings and shady deals, making it a hub for the city's underworld. At night, the diner takes on an ominous atmosphere, where whispered conversations hint at secrets and danger lurking just beneath the surface.
