Plasma is a Vampire/Goth nightclub owned and run by the New York Vampire Coven. According to Chris Gordon aka the main character of the Demon Accords novel series, Plasma is the most bizarre place in the Big Apple. The patrons of the club are typically some of the more serious Goth and Punk types, though famous celebrities are also known to visit frequently.
History[]
It is a Brooklyn building that now houses a nightclub but it once housed a newspaper. The club appeared to only hire professional dancers as staff since they all moved entirely too gracefully to be regular clods. A rumor circulating around had it that the club’s owners were originally from Moscow, with possible connections to the Russian mob.
Plasma didn’t bill itself as vampire owned at all, but every ad featured shots of the ethereally beautiful, preternaturally pale staff and the vampire part was mostly spread by word of mouth.
Description[]
The center of the building, where the printing presses had operated when it was a Newspaper, was open all the way to the ceiling, three stories above from the first floor. The club’s entrance brought you in on the second floor and a labyrinth of stairs provided passage to the top floor or down to the bottom where the dance floor was so you can get your groove on and band stage where you can listen to music. The walls were a black color and most of the lighting came from red neon that bathed everything in a bloody glow according to Chris Gordon, the main character of the Demon Accord book series. There were an abounded amount of dark nooks and corners that are sometimes occupied with a strange mixture of serious Goth and trendy nightclubbers.
The second floor has railings and the first floor has corridors. There is the dance floor, stage, and main bar on the first floor. The club also had a bar. In the back of the stage area, there was a door guarded by several large bouncer types that opened into a long institutional corridor and stacked on the sides were cartons and crates of supplies and the lighting used in the corridor was white fluorescent. The air was musty and cool in this corridor. Somewhere up ahead after entering the first door guarded by several bouncer types, there was a sharp left that brings you to another metal door and past this door are walls in the hallway are made of cinderblock. On the other side of the hallway is a crash bar-equipped door. In the same hallway, they have a door that goes into the dressing room.
The building has multiple support posts which also gives you a place to lean on. Near the back of the stage area, there is a metal door and the door opens into a long, institutional corridor, with supplies stacked on the sides and the lighting is white fluorescent. The corridor has cinderblock walls. The hallway has a crash-bar-equipped door.
