Regular Habits

The entire state of Washington is generally obsessed with coffee. Every town has espresso available in one place or another, be it in their local diner, or in a nearby gas station. Starbucks is generally considered to be the McDonald's of coffee, and true coffee drinkers lean towards one of the other popular brews.

The only thing that rivals Washington's coffee drinking is Twin Peak's donut consumption. Per capita, Twin Peaks consumes more donuts than anywhere else in the world. They're also known for having damn fine pies and coffee.

The excessive amount of clouds and rain make it safe for vampires to venture out if they have a high SPF sunblock. However, Twin Peaks also has a fun phenomenon known as sun breaks. Seemingly arbitrarily, the clouds will part allowing sunshine in.

In a town as small as Twin Peaks, the sewer pipes are only about 12 inches wide. Hardly the ideal crawling space for ghouls. Also, during busy hours, the pipes can be quite full. These are not like the sewers you find in Europe and the like. All these carry is sewage. Rain is carried along storm drains to local bodies of water. Storm drains can be bigger than sewers, and generally safer.

Spokane has larger sewer pipes, probably a good 6 or 7 feet wide, and at low hours a person could wade through the hip deep sewage, but it's hardly a fun prospect.

The Columbia River is the big river around Washington. It goes by Twin Peaks, runs down to the Oregon-Washington Border, and then empties out into the ocean. Prime escape route for aquatic beasties and personal submarines, right? Wrong. The first problem you run into is hydro-electric dams. There's a few of those along the way. Then there are rapids and waterfalls. Also not a prime thing for sub-aquatic travel. Some creatures can clamber out to shore and go around those bits, but that produces problems all its own.

There are no homeless in Twin Peaks. A few grizzled mountain men living in the woods, but that's it. Spokane doesn't exactly have a lot of bums leaching off society either. If you're looking for easy prey that many people won't miss, you have to go all the way to Seattle and Tacoma.

In Twin Peaks proper, there isn't much night life. But across the lake, in Canada, there's a casion/brothel called "One Eyed Jack's". Aside from being a place for illegal gambling and prostitution, there's rumored to be a healthy drug trade going through the place.
