Tail Club

The Tail Club was a combination diner and hangout spot located on Tiger Lily Road and run by Kitsune Inari. The diner section featured classic '50s style food such as burgers and fries. The establishment's gimmick was that it is designed in particular to serve the anthropomorphic and quasi-anthropomorphic population of Yuriba, as well as their supporters. A box of fake tails was always present by the front door so that those not naturally endowed could fit in.

The staff consisted of Kitsune was owner and co-manager with her wife Lizz. Miki, the singing Tanuki, was lead chef. Kisune's sister, Hikaru Inari, her good friend Athame, and a new hire named Curia all acted as waitresses on occasion.

Foundation

The Tail Club was originally founded by Kitsune Inari after observing several spring-blessed girls receiving less that favorable treatment by the island's largely human population. It occurred to her that humans often fail to understand the challenges faced by "Tail-Girls" (as she tends to refer to those gifted naturally or by magic with a tail or other anthropomorphic attributes) when trying to integrate into a human dominated society. She decided to create a place where anthromorphs and other "Tail-Girls" could gather and be treated as equals, regardless of things like accents, poor grammar (often due to differences in brain structure) and seemingly odd social customs native to their particular race or species.

With this goal in mind, she began to build a club where such persons as those (and their understanding human friends) could gather together and socialize. Not wishing to make anyone feel uncomfortable, she provided a box of fake tails at the door which anyone is free to use so that they don't feel out of place.

Features

OOC: Payment

Yes, you really did have to pay for your food at the Tail Club, unlike many other Yuriban establishments. However, the prices had been kept low enough for anyone to pay for a meal and have Lilies remaining even if all you had is what you get for logging in. Additionally, the coding was rather complex and designed to add to your enjoyment, so a charge of a few lilies wasn't bad for what you got. ^_^

Main Room:

The Tail Club's main room was a 50's styled diner, complete with jukebox and booths. While there were staff members working as waitresses on occasion, the diner was set up to run on its own, and the till could be operated by any patron in absence of serving staff.

Meeting Room:

The Meeting Room is seldom used, but served as a place for members of the Tail Club staff to meet and discuss business, and could also be reserved on request for special events by patrons. It featured a relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seating and plenty of room to lounge around and talk at leisure.

Petting Pit:

The Petting Pit served as a place to engage in the traditional social bonding practice of many Tail-Girls, petting. While nudity was permitted, heavy petting should be confined to actual Petting, and not sexual activity. For those who become overexcited, the management suggested one of the many fine hotels or inns available on the island. Absolutely, Positively NO yiffing was allowed in the petting pit.

Notable Personalities

In addition to the owner/operator Kitu, the Tail Club was frequented by many of the island's Tail-Girls some of whom can be found there at any time of day or night.

Hikaru Inari, Kitu's elder sister was a former miko (now retired) of Fushimi Inari, the primary Inari shrine in Japan. She came to the island for Kitu's wedding and had remained since, having come to love the friendly populace. Frequent visitors to the club would notice that she remembered them and (for those who were nice to her) became more friendly once she got to know you. Possessing a wry wit (especially when her sister is around to tease) she was always good for a laugh.

Miki "the Singing Tanuki" was a kind and matronly figure who served as the chef, entertaining the patrons with songs whilst cooking, and occasionally with her antics (try ordering a hot fudge sundae). Though she didn't speak often, she had been known to occasionally spout a word or two of wisdom, and undoubtedly made the best Yuridog on the island.

Curia (the roller-skating waitress) was a new hire who'd become popular with patrons of the Club for her friendly personality and eagerness to please. She was a part timer.
