Big Town Banky Blaine's Rockabilly Barbeque

Big Town Banky Blaine's Rockabilly Barbeque, BTBBRBBQ or, more commonly, The BBQ is a dimension separate from the likes of Orbis and The Old World, meaning The Old Ones have no influence over this realm. The BBQ is a very small dimension, only being the size of a small city, and is entirely filled by an arena and the surrounding market and taverns.

This pocket dimension is also separated from all others in terms of time, existing in the same state from the start till the end of parallel dimensions. Time passes at the same rate inside The BBQ as outside it, yet you can meet people from your home-dimension there, who haven't yet been born, or should be long dead, by the time entered the dimension. None quite understand how this works, even Banky Blaine himself bows before the sheer unknowability of the inner workings of The BBQ.

Entering The BBQ
The only way into The BBQ is through the dimensional rift known as Bear Ghost, creatively named due to it manifesting as an ice-blue semi-transparent brown bear.

If one makes eye contact with Bear Ghost, they will immediately be moved into The BBQ. When they wake up and where differs on a case by case basis, but in general it happens in intervals of unknown duration, meaning that a group who all travel through rift within an hour in their home-dimension, will sometimes appear in The BBQ at the same time and places, and sometimes not.

Seeking out Bear Ghost is a fools errand. No-one understands it, and it can phase in and out of the spatial dimensions, as well as time, seemingly at will.

Escaping The BBQ
The only way to escape this dimension, is to complete the sentence given to you by Banky Blaine, the self-elected leader (read "Dictator") of The BBQ. These sentences vary vastly, both in duration and in nature. Some are order to fight in the Arena, others are ordered to serve as merchants for years before earning their freedom.

Sentencing is an incredibly biased process, being influenced more by the mood of Banky Blaine that day than any other factors combined. Should you be particularly unlucky, you may even be deemed unworthy of the surface, forced to live out your days as a sewage rat, only being allowed to leave the tiny dimension once you do Banky Blaine the favor of dying.

Residents
Those who decide to not fulfil their sentencing are doomed to forever exist in the pocket dimension as residents. They have no homes to go to, instead sleeping where they happen to be as they get tired. These people take up a myriad of jobs, ranging from prostitution to banking or bodyguarding, to keep funding the only thing making their existence even slightly bearable; A salesman's guide to non-existence, shortened to "Guidance" or "Salesman's rock", a unique mineral found in the sewers of The BBQ, which when digested temporarily removes all emotion from the consumer.
