Trotting Tiger Tavern

General Information
The Trotting Tiger Tavern (T.T.T.) is an intergalactic tavern that bridges space and times. How it accomplishes this feat remains to be seen, and it is possible the secret died with its founder. For those who arrive via any of its multitude of entrances, visitors find a homey and warm establishment. Run by Malli, the Tavern is a place that all are welcome. Children are welcome as long as they behave and are not allowed to drink.

Reputation
In space, the T.T.T. has good reputation within the local territory. However for the places that it frequents elsewhere a mixed reputation due to both its elusive nature and its tendency to cause patrons to disappear with it when it moves.

How To Get There
For those who arrive from space, the Trotting Tiger Tavern is situated on a personal asteroid that is large enough for a sizable space docking area. In addition there are a few wharf-like protrusions where larger ships can moor. There are no external security cameras or guards of any kind, so patrons are forewarned. It has a reputation for being a good, oft rowdy, always crowded and lively establishment.

Exterior
Space - The Trotting Tiger Tavern is housed on a massive asteroid within the Primordium System. It is roughly halfway between Debar and Illton. The asteroid is one of many in a thin ring that includes various other asteroids. From space the T.T.T.'s tiger emblem is easily seen as it is perched atop the thick semi-circle of the protective dome. The asteroid outside the tavern's protective dome is considered the 'parking lot'; however no artificial atmosphere is provided between the parking lot and the tavern proper. Multiple airlocks prevent decompression.

Elsewhere - The tavern is a wooden and brick two-story building that appears in a style similar to the other buildings in the area. It is frequently mistaken for a 'local and long standing' tavern, no matter how long it has been in the area.

Interior
The tavern itself is L-shaped, with the short end off to their left and the wide longer side in front of them. An open-rafter ceiling with heavy timber cross beams arched over a chamber made of brick and stone. Though the floor faded into the shadows near the walls, the floor itself appeared to be a single stone slab. Recessed lighting lined the heavy crossbeams, leaving the place above in fading shadows. Burnished browns, deep greens and other similar hues are prominent here, giving the place a woodsy feeling.

Following the interior curve of the L, the bar traversed the far wall. The long, curving bar of polished wood dominated the area. Mirrors and shelves full of bottles lined the wall behind the bar. Shields and hubcaps (that to an untrained eye might appear to be shields) hung at intermittent intervals. Two swinging doors behind the bar led somewhere else.

On the longer side, In the corner to the left was the inlaid platform that provided a surface for dancing or live entertainment. Canned lights bordered the inlay. Musicians may be found here on occasion, playing soothing melodies, unless more people arrive or the conversation gets loud. Beyond that, a narrow walkway and part of the bar counter with bar stools. Round tables of various sizes and chairs with cushioned seats are scattered throughout the rest of the open-beamed establishment. Stout wooden partitions divided four booths along the right wall. Tables bookended the booths and filled the floor between the booths and the bar counter. Embedded into the further corner was a fireplace large enough for someone six feet or less to stand within comfortably.

The populace includes various species and genders.

There are stairs that lead up to rooms-for-rent. There are doors that lead to others places and times here. However, none of them are labelled.
