Neon Maze
The What?
Neon Maze. This is an underground neighborhood, located in East T@Ö#Å3. It consists of a series of corridors lit with colorful neon lights, and different shops. As the name suggests, the layout of this whole area is basically a maze. It’s really confusing and easy to get lost in, especially if you’re under the influence of one or another thing that you can buy here. The floor and ceiling is made of metal, and all of the shops have large windows with neon lights and neon signs in them.
What goes on there?
Anything goes. Absolutely anything. Here you get anything from strip clubs to gambling bars, from drug stores to butcher shops. Sure, you can find a lot of that above ground as well, and even in Å+*4~ if you know where to look, but here just the abundance of it is something you won’t find anywhere else. Every single shop here is dedicated to one or another sketchy or barely legal activity. To elaborate, these are some of the more common ones.
Strip clubs
Pretty standard if you want to enjoy some nice wholesome pole dancing, or hire a prostitute. A nice spot to grab a drink with your buddies while buying drugs or selling your internal organs, and the safest place to go to if you’re here for the first time or only visiting. But be aware that most of these aren’t your run-of-the-mill vanilla strip clubs. Most of them focus on some weird fetish stuff.
Gambling bars
Still on the wholesome side, there’s gambling bars if you want to try and make some extra money. Here, you can play a variety of wholesome board games, but for money. Or other things. Anything goes here so there’s no limit to what you can bet or ask for in a game. Hey, if you gamble away your kidneys, you have butcher shops who will get it out of you :D
If you're afraid to lose your money or a kidney, you can always play a drunk board game instead - here instead of betting money, whoever loses has to drink, or sometimes take drugs.
Inconvenience stores
Have you had anything stolen recently? Do you want it back? Then you might wanna check one of these stores. They offer a variety of random things, usually only the ones you don’t need and none of the ones you’re looking for, and keep in mind that most of the stuff here is stolen. If you do find something you lost or got stolen recently, be prepared to pay at least the full price to get it back, if not more. The shop owners here are somehting else and there's no way you're winning their dumb mind games so don't even try.
Drug stores
Drug stores are a pretty common sight here, and as the name says, they sell drugs. While you may find drug stores above the surface too, the ones here are more open about selling poisons.
Weapon shops
Again pretty straightforward. If you need a gun, a knife, or even a flail, you’re welcome to see what these weapon shops have to offer. Actually if you only need a knife or a gun you won’t have much luck here. To attract customers, the shop owners here are coming up with more and more strange and brutal weapons to sell.
Butcher shops
Probably the sketchiest place you’ll find down here is the butcher shop. No, they don’t sell meat here, don’t worry, we’re not that messed up in our world. Butcher shops specialize in organ trafficking. If you gambled all your life savings away in one of the gambling bars, you can come here to sell an internal organ or two, and if you fried your internal organs with excessive drug use, you can get new ones here! Of course, ideally you would go to your local Glitter Temples and request a brand new internal organ from Glitter God, but these can be quite expensive, and butcher shops are a cheaper option. You could get your organ transplant here, or just buy your new organ and take it to a proper hospital. Don’t worry though, these butchers are passionate about their work and know a botched transplant is no good, and they try their best to provide a top quality service.
There are always a good place to go to if you got injured in some illegal activity that you really wouldn’t want the fairies at their herbal gardens to find out about.
People you'll meet here
I don't have to tell you that East T@Ö#Å3 is already full of strange people, but down here, things get even worse. Freaks especially prefer to hang out down here, and most of the people that come here aren't up to any good. You're not gonna come here for a lovely afternoon stroll or to get some groceries, that's for sure.
Even if you don't enter any shops, you'll have plenty of shady people offering their goods and services to you. They may offer you drugs for cheaper, but god knows what's in there. If you need a killer to "dispose of" someone for you, you'll surely find someone glad to offer a service here.
One positive thing about this place might be that children aren't allowed here at all, and trust me, this is not one of those places where they'd even want to weasel their way in with the help of fake IDs and whatnot. Seriously, do not bring your children here. However though, if you maybe want to buy or sell a kid, this is actually exactly the place to go. Among these sketchy characters lurking around the corner, you'll surely find a child trader as well.
