Invisible Paris | The Belle Epoque | Bohemia

The one who knows and Knows

They say that Guan Daosheng bathes in the blood of her most beautiful dancers to preserve her youth. They say that she sold her soul for beauty and influence. They say that she has mastered the Invisible Arts. The last sentence is spoken only in a careful whisper, when the gossips are sure they are not being watched by the watchful eyes of the Bureau of Silence. For those who understand even a little of the secrets hidden beneath the skin of the world know that it is the honest truth.

The Ivory Hall cabaret manages to be both almost secret and one of the most famous in Paris. The dubious luxury of a balance between the worlds. Malicious tongues even claim that its fame is based more on scandals and problems with the law than on the dancers' skills.

Perhaps this is true, but Guan Daosheng is not a merciful person, and makes the dancers train until they sweat. But sometimes their diligence is rewarded with secrets that they cannot learn in other places.

Character for an event (because I love music).

Song: HUMANWINE - Zero Gravity

The series is heavily inspired by Cultist Simulator, my hyper fixation of the last two years (though I didn't even try to cram all the game's huge lore here, so everything is simplified and distorted) and some real-life figures from the Belle Époque. And this character is really strongly inspired by the game (if you think that Sulochana was her prototype, then you don’t think so). The rest of the series will be less echoing the game, but I needed her because the Dancer playthrough is too beautiful.
