The Desperado Club
the Desperado
The club Donut actually got into, to a rival crawler's open regret.
Story so far
Prepotente raises it as the one flaw in an otherwise delightful acquaintance: he was so very disappointed to learn that Princess Donut had obtained access to the Desperado Club and not Club Vanquisher, where he would rather share a brandy with her and discuss their shared status as the dungeon's only sapient Earth creatures. The exchange confirms that the two clubs are mutually exclusive memberships among the top crawlers.
Role
Donut and Carl's club, and the wrong one according to Prepotente.
Relationships
Princess Donut — Her membership, which Prepotente regrets.
Club Vanquisher — The alternative he belongs to.
Prepotente — Disappointed by her choice of club.
