About
Camera Noctis is a semi-secret members-only BDSM club operating out of Subconium House on the eastern edge of Verdant. It is owned and operated by House Subconium and serves as the organization's public-facing cover. The building is a Queen Anne-style home built in 1895. A plaque on the brick fence reads Subconium House.
Entry
The front gate is closed to the public. Entry is through a side gate at the far end of the block, marked by a soft green light that is easy to miss from the street. The path leads to the rear of the house, where a red light sits above a stairwell descending to a black door.
Two ropes hang by the door. One bears an unfamiliar symbol. The other has a butterfly charm. Pulling the butterfly rope announces arrival with no audible sound.
- Access requires invitation or sponsorship by an existing member
- The passphrase is Under the Hemlock
- A consent and liability form must be signed at a podium inside
- Numbered lockers are available in a locker room inside
Wristband system
A color-coded wristband system is posted throughout the club. Blue wristbands designate submissive first-timers and come with specific safety nets and rules.
Framework
Camera Noctis operates under a Safe, Sane, and Consensual (SSC) framework. A strict "don't be a jerk" rule is enforced. Consent violations or code of conduct breaches result in permanent expulsion.
Events
Saturday nights are always themed. Arriving out of theme results in a punishment: the make-up corner. A semi-regular masked event is held periodically, at which all attendees wear masks in the play space. Alcoves feature RESERVED/OCCUPIED flip signs.
Student access
Nox Iuvenis vets and mentors members aged 18 to 32 who are interested in BDSM and kink. Membership in Nox Iuvenis is required to access Camera Noctis for those under 32. Only a handful of students know Camera Noctis exists.
Faculty policy
Faculty-student interaction is technically permitted but self-regulation is expected. Professor William Taylor avoids playing with his own students.
