The Metaverse: 
Backstory and Important Stuff

2.  The Hotel
The Blue Lemon
In the beginning, there was a bar.  Actually, the bar began life as a pub in Wales built out of the scavenged stones of a Megalithic Circle (think Stonehenge).

Anyway, the bar was moved to America stone by stone by a local coal magnate and reassembled.  Unfortunately, the stones were reassembled wrong, and strange phenomena began to plague the bar.  It was closed after a young woman dissapeared mysteriously in a glow of colored light in one of the apartments upstairs.

In the mid-70's it was reopened and converted into a theme club based on the vintage coal-age interior.  Again, curious things began to happen, and in the early 80's it was closed yet again after another bizarre event.  This time, the reappearance of the woman who had dissapeared nearly a century before.

Closed for years, the building itself was eventually put up for sale.  After years of rumors and neglect, the building went down in price to the point where two college-bound twins,
Zek and Aliya, decided to pool their money and buy the bar instead.

Then the fun started......
Based on a real building in my hometown, The Old Hotel Central is an abandoned coal-age hotel built along the heart of the old downtown. 

The main street of town has since become a side-alley to the newer part of town, and this gorgeous building lies empty and neglected in the shadows of modern society.

In the Metaverse universe, however, it is currently the residence of the
Evyl Boys

Due to the instability of the Metaverse portal, the hotel has also become a focus for strange phenomena, with several supposedly-fictional characters becoming trapped in our world. These are the
Evyl Boys, various Sith, Vampires, Mutants, and one very unstable clone of Obi-wan Kenobi, all stranded outside their own universes.
