Resting Room Location: Silco was in his office, getting Set high when the great repose began in Draumahol, deep in the center of Kowloon, and oddly? That's where he remained for the entirety of his long sleep.
Description: What was once Silco's locked and inaccessible office quickly became a place for Kowloonites to show their respects. The doors were opened, and furthermore, once it was discovered there was a hidden cornerstone in the office, it became a heavily trafficked area, and Draumahol itself became an expansive site of adulation and drug den all in one. The second-floor office was eventually turned into something of an overlooking balcony, where Silco was interred. He was essentially left behind his desk, and because of... well, his glowing, unblinking eye looks down over the entirety of the establishment. It's an eerie atmosphere in the smoky den, and though Draumahol was once a thriving nightclub, it was just a bit too weird for partying, and the almost cult-like adulation around Shard-Bearers meant that Gregór moved the majority of Draumahol's operations up to Old Springstar. Although they still maintain and deal with a great deal of drugs in this location, it's just not the main party site anymore.
The sign has been changed outside to only the wide, unblinking eye 👁 that once replaced the "o" in Draumah👁l, flickering with violet neon, and the inside is filled with Downtown Kowloon regulars, the desperate, and the poor. The top balcony overlooking the entirety of the club's floor has been filled with everything from cigars and drinks, to fresh kills and gifts of blood, to trophies from Kowloonites' own murders or deals. Thankfully, because he's a vampire, Silco looks exactly the same as the day the Repose happened, still in the same chair that he'd fallen asleep in, one arm extended over his desk, as if inviting someone to reach out and touch. Strangely, because Silco's hands were exposed from dispensing shimmer before the repose began, he's become an odd symbol associated with giving power to the needy, as the desperate of Kowloon will often touch his hand, and occasionally are granted the gift of a shimmer hit, leading to great attacks or rampages of shimmer-powered individuals as they tear through Kowloon. It's considered an implied endorsement for the plight of whomever touched his hand.
Purpose: What rose in the den of Draumahol — now simply called The Eye — is something of a cult of the spirit of Kowloon itself. Some come to beseech him for power, granted occasionally by the gift of shimmer, and some come to court favor with the bearer in the form of gifts or trophies from their kills. It is considered "blessed" to make a deal under Silco's unblinking eye, so it is a favored place for dealmaking. However, it is also considered "blessed" to murder an ally who has lost their use, or an enemy that needs to be eliminated. Inviting someone to The Eye is considered high risk and high reward, whether it's an ally or an enemy.
It's not quite a cult, but it is close, given that Silco is something of a deified figure in Downtown Kowloon. Many aren't looking for gods, which means that there's no cult, but there's something in between an atheistic appreciation for the supernatural, and cultlike superstition, which means it is just on the cusp of tipping over into a true cult when bearers awaken.
Caretaker(s): At first, it was Gregór, Silco's retainer who took control. He is the one who got the resting room essentially established as an open-air viewing in Draumahol, but as he has been forced to spend more and more time topside in Uptown, several Downtown business owners rotate duty making sure there are no rotting corpses, disposing of overdosed bodies, and generally ensuring that he's cared for. They even apply makeup every day. :) How nice of them. I'm sure that he'll be grateful and won't be weird about it.
