Full Description of the Bar
Set back towards the outskirts of the Radditsu District in one of the area’s known for having a slightly…rougher…reputation for non-Saiyans stands a bar known as the Brawl Hole. From the outside the building, or more precisely the small cluster of joined buildings, is an unassuming white construction like most of the District, rough flat sides and a domed style roof making it fit in with many of the surrounding buildings, with only a few windows here and there around the walls. Like most of the district there are obvious signs of wear and tear on the outer skin, even a few patch jobs visible if you look close enough at the craftsmanship where something or someone perhaps has ended up making a hole. Sticking out perpendicular above the door is part of an old wooden table with the name of the place scrawled across it in red paint.
When open to the public…which is most of the time, the main entrance is a saloon style swing door that opens both ways, something the owner borrowed from Earth culture. When closed the heavy shutter rolls down and gives a decent amount of security against your average customer.
Inside, the bar is well lit with several smart lights of Tuffle design. These light orbs float about the bar space above patrons heads in a slow orbit of a brighter central orb and vary their intensity with the time of day. The best thing about the lights however is their Avoidance Sensors that allow them to quickly move aside when detecting any approaching objects.
The floor of the bar is a polished stone, the red of the Plants natural rocks shown off under a dense layer of protective coating that seems to be able to hold up to quite some punishment before cracking. The furniture, in a similar vein, is heavy, sturdy and easy to replace, mass manufactured pieces that are easy to get hold of in bulk…and while there isn’t a uniform look across all the pieces, it doesn’t detract from the look of the place.
The bar itself is still from the original build before the new owner took over, a long single piece of Namekian Iron Wood, polished to a high shine and covered in nicks, chips and dents from decades of bar fights and drinking sessions. Behind the bar, the shelves are stocked with bottles of all shapes and sizes, from multiple different worlds with everything from local Saiyan homebrews to some high class Arcosian Brandy’s and Konastian Gin’s. A chiller under the bar holds all manner of additional beverages. Strangely, and looking a little out of place, is a large primitive looking spear fastened to the wall above the bottles and drinks at the back...the tip still holding a green stain.
The staff only section of the bar off to one side features two small rooms that have been converted into modest living quarters, a well stocked kitchen and the large, well bolted stock room. The kitchen has been set up so that all manner of dishes can be prepared from around the universe however the vast majority of the menu outside of specials is heavily weighted towards Saiyan favorites. It also seems to have stools and steps randomly placed by the ovens and larger cupboards.
For most though it's through the single door at the rear of the bar that they come to this locale for. Out behind the unassuming bar is the feature that it draws its name from. Carved into the red rock of the district long before the Saiyan’s settled here and worn down by decades of impacts, sits a natural depression some 20’ deep and over 60’ across, somewhat circle shaped. The bottom of the pit has, over time, filled slowly with fine red sand, much like the fighting rings found all over the academy and training halls of the Saiyan’s. Crude railings have been erected around the lip of the makeshift arena and 3 platforms extend out just a little over the lip of the hole and instead of railings, each of these protrusions sports a ladder that allows fighters to reach the bottom of the pit if they lack the ability to fly. Closer to the main building are a number of lockers and a scattering of training equipment, the hopes of the owner being that many would show to improve their skills or teach others, and not just come for the betting and fights. So far the fights have been more popular than the training.
The fights them selves range from mere brawls to satisfy bruised ego's and who's settling the bill over a spilled drink to sponsored fights put on by the owner. The rules can vary from first blood to submission and even KO, but the one thing that is enforced as much as it can be is a no killing policy. Death is not an acceptable lesson for a 'friendly' match.
The Staff
Below are the 3 main staff members of the bar that OC’s are likely to interact with. There are others that come and go so feel free to use a throwaway if you’d prefer.
Kinoko (Approx PL 5,000)
The small aging wiry Saiyan woman, barely over 5’5”, who runs the bar of the Brawl hole for the majority of the time. Kinoko sports a straight cut style of hair to her shoulder, with one side of her head completely shaved giving a lopsided look to match the lopsided grin she sports, the scars on her cheek pulling her lip upwards into a permanent smile. A retired mercenary she doesn’t talk much about her past but she seems to know her drinks and appears to be no stranger to the many veterans that have started to return to the old drinking hole. No matter the noise she always seems to know what everyone has ordered, and is quick to point out when a tab is due.
Zakuro (Approx PL 100)
The kitchen Wizard. No ones sure how the owner managed to poach this Tuffle from his restaurants on the Arcosian capital but many are thankful she did. Barely waist high, this diminutive man has built up quite a reputation already in the District as one of the best cooks this side of Plant, with favourites like his Sweet Hot Saiba Rex Rib strew always selling out fast. Laser focused when in his domain, the smaller Tuffle is somewhat easily rattled when out of his element and has been known to begin reciting random recipes when nervous. Strangely for his choice of job location the man abhors the idea of violence as entertainment and refuses to watch the fights, going so far as to blast Konasatian Operas through the kitchen speakers when a match is taking place to drown out the noise. Why he stays is still a mystery.
Kotsuzui (Approx PL 15,000)
A mountain of a Saiyan, Kotsuzui, is known to pack away as much food and drink in a day as she serves on a shift in the bar. But then her almost 6'5 frame clearly needs a lot of fuel. Her round features and chubby cheeks make many underestimate her intelligence, thinking incorrectly that she is just another overgrown mud stomper and dismissing her as simple. Kotsuzui does little to correct this for the most part, seemingly happy to let others think what they will. When she isn’t working or feasting at the Brawl Hole, Kotsuzui works with the Saiyan Scientific Division Medical Branch, striving to advance her species' understanding of the universe and developing the technology that keeps them in the fight. Usually the smartest woman in the room Kotsuzui seems to enjoy her time making small talk at the tables and quietly reminding people what happens to patrons that try to leave without paying their tab. When pushed she is more than happy to push back.
The Menu
The below lists are not exhaustive and if you feel like having something else served then by all means order it and give a description. I’ll add it to the stock list.
List of Drinks
Quadruple Distilled Saiba Vodka - An almost clear liquid with a blue tinge to it. Burns on the way down, burns on the way up. Tastes oddly like menthol.
Saladean Brandy - Rare enough to be expensive, strong enough to eat through some metals. Great for getting relaxing by a fire or cleaning grease off engine parts.
Konastian Fire Water - A smooth alcoholic beverage that is actually on fire when poured from the bottle. Has a warming tingle on the tongue and tastes a little like smoke and cinnamon.
Oozaru Piss - A Low Class drink similar to moonshine in its production and strength. Rumoured to be able to power combustion engines.
S’Tarche Gin - Very dry with a hint of floral desert tones.
Namekian Pure - A glass of water from the polar regions of Namek. Simple.
Berri Beer - Fermented from the fruits found throughout the famous last forest on Plant. Like the Tuffles themselves, it's served short and not too strong…
Saiba Stout - Its green, kinda spicy with some explosive flavors popping on the tongue, and a smoky aftertaste
Berri Juice - A non-alcoholic sweet juice made from the freshly pressed fruit of the Berri forests. A favourite of the current Saiyan Queen.
Arcosian Iced Hot Chocolate - A drink of superheated hot chocolate, rapidly cooled into a thick liquid on the Arcosian iceworlds, infused with hardened flecks of sweet chocolate. So...Damn...Sweet.
List of Foods
Hot Sweet Saiba Rex Rib Stew - Stewed meat off the Rex rib bones in a fiery and sweat inducing sweet broth together with a host of ground veg native to Plant.
100lbs BBQ Saiba Rex Steak - Just like its sounds. 100lbs of prime Rex steak, barbequed over coals and slathered in a thick dark rich sauce. Served with a mountain of native veg.
Roast Saiba Raptor Dip Sandwich au Jus - A lighter bite. Roasted slabs of saiba raptor meat, marinated in its own juices and served in thick slices of earth style baguette.
Earth Style Taco's - Filled with a choice of pulled Saiba Rex flank, roasted Saiba Raptor breast, just native veg and greens or a full house style bit of everything. Served with a spicy hot green chilli ketchup (following an Earth recipe) and some kind of mashed sweetened red vegetable salsa.
Maima Native Soup - A boiled soup made with Namekian pure and imported blues and greens (styles of ground & root veg) from Namek's Maima farmlands.
