Spacecafé

A spacecafé was a small restaurant on a space station, providing a location for space travellers to break their journeys, refuel, eat and drink or shop, and important locations in BHH. Along with certain bars, spacecafés were one of the main physical venues for the Underworld. They were seen as analogous to outer-space filling stations or motorway services.

From at least 2017 to the end of Glastieven history in March 2020, it was traditional — supposedly inherited from the Acteriendian BHH roleplays — that all BHH roleplays had to begin in a spacecafé (or a bar). This tradition was interpreted as a rigid convention in 2017–18, but by 2020 there were BHH RPs that started in the Fourth Army base. While the rule is of dubious provenance, there certainly were at least some Acteriendian BHH roleplays that started in spacecafés, and the concept was also invoked in the Oburron and Jenner paracosm.
