Abercorn Drive
Location: Runs the length of Hawthorn Point (Amptons, Plymouth Point & Starkhorn Heights) Predatory Taint: 0
Atmosphere: Welcoming
Welcoming locations are both more active than Accepting locations and more mercurial. Likely environments include underground raves, meetings of secret societies, impromptu drum circles, biker gatherings, and the like. Some places, which require either an invitation or some secret information to find, assume that those who are there share some common interest, ideal, or understanding, and therefore are places where one’s guard can be lowered. Others, whether due to naïveté or an impressive amount of faith and trust in humanity, simply happily welcome any who find them. Both environments, however, can turn ugly very quickly when the most meager of slights is committed. Whether an accidental signal that tells others that the outsider isn’t supposed to be there or a taboo behavior or simply ruining the party, all such acts are punishable with snubbing, expulsion, mockery, or even attack depending on the mood and lifestyle of those present.
Description
Abercorn Drive, named for the prominent Abercorn family, stretches the length of the entertainment district on Hawthorn Point. Like most places on the island, the street is lined with brick sidewalks and Victorian style faux gaslights.
The light doesn’t end there though, while the strip isn’t garish enough to have neon there are lights from the clubs and cars driving by at all times of night. On the far end of Abercorn drive is the Links golf course which most people generally accept marks the end of the entertainment district and the beginning of the residential.
On Friday and Saturday nights the section of the road mostly dedicated to clubs is barricaded for cars to facilitate the safety of foot traffic. It’s not unusual to see large groups of wealthy patrons walking from club to club as the scene shifts throughout the nighttime hours.
