You have accepted the offer to an "Entertaining evening of a macabre nature". You do not know anything about any of the other guest involved. You only know that the evening is your initiation into an elite secret society which celebrates splendor, mystery and the beautifully grotesque. This secret society is simply called Krankhaus.
Making Black Wine
Today Krankhaus is initiating new members. The first step of any initiation is to prepare the Black Wine.To prepare Black Wine, an established member of Krankhaus is placed in a bath. The member has had their kidney's removed and replaced with charcoal. Charcoal works very effectively as a filter - filtering out any traces of human waste.The charcoal is impregnated with Ololiuqui (made from the seeds of the morning glory) and Harmine (a Harmala Alkaloid). These act as a hallucinogenic.A thick black liquid made from lashings of Aniseed, Kava and Soma (an intoxicating drink for the Brahmins). This is administered to the Krankhaus member. Their charcoal kidneys produce a black sweet wine. When drunk, Black Wine acts as a hallucinogen that leaves the participant with a strong feeling of trust.
The Black Wine will be used to add to the atmosphere of tonight's events.
Pre-dinner entertainment
Before dinner we will engage in some light entertainment - a live vivisection for your pleasure!
All tonight's guests, indeed all members of Krankhaus, have a keen interest in the bazaar and macabre….and a vivisection is always a favorite!Tonight's patient (unbeknown to the new members) is another established member of Krankhaus, who has developed all their potential usefulness, and is now a glorious canvas whose flesh beckons.The guests look on with interest, but try to remain poised, as the concept of "trying to look cool" has not yet been invented.
Dinner
Tonight's main meal comprises of eel, eggplant, a selection of black meat and various other black dishes.This evening we will be joined by two veteran Krankhaus members. They will be encased in a glass container and will take prime position in the middle of the table. The new guests will not be humored or horrored by this - as the practice of having starving people in glass cages is not uncommon in high society's burlesque restaurants.
What could be more entertaining than watching starving people watching you eat...?
Masochistic Compulsion - Surgical Addiction
Dinner was an overwhelming success!
While the Black Wine takes effect on the guests, The Mistress and Master stow away for a moment to relax and engaged in a more intimate activity - scarification and self mutilation. Both The Mistress and Master entertain a Masochistic Compulsion (known as Surgical Addiction).
Organfleisch Poker
What a better way to wrap up a wonderful night with new friends!
Tonight The Mistress and Master show their guests how to play a variation on an old favorite - Organfleisch Poker (Organ and Flesh poker).Throwing a dice will navigate their fate along a winding board game. Sometimes they lose a measure of blood, other times they lose an organ. The evening flows much smoother with the help of a cocktail administered at certain times of the game -made from Conocybe (A mushroom that contains the hallucinogen psilocybin) and Amanita Virosa (a mushroom known as the "Destroying Angel").This, mixed with the Black Wine, ensures that the guests enjoy the game with much enthusiasm and commitment.As with any game of Poker, there must be winners and losers…and in this game, when you lose, you lose ALL. The Mistress and Master seem to have a natural talent for this game - their collection of organs fills an entire room!
New Home
New members are escorted to their new lodgings. Unsuccessful applicants are packed into the hearse for cold storage. The Black Wine in their system will dye their flesh black so as to fit the colour scheme of the next Dinner.
