Enter the Longhouse

It's faded and a little dusty. A faint odor of ash and stale rain rises to meet you as you sink into the well-worn crevasse. The edges of the cushions are frayed, but years of use have rendered them incapable of bestowing anything but unparalleled comfort. 

The crack of a fresh beer breaks your concentration. You shift in your seat and a forgotten Xbox controller clatters to the ground. Someone is sparking up a J.
