    Description taken from RCPedia.

    Nestled into the intersection between Oppression and 40th sits The RavenBlack Bite. The building is layed into the ground, its entrance marked by a steel-crafted sign reading "Bite" and 13 steps downward, flanked by steel banisters on either side. The stairwell is well-lit with wide, circular rows of LED lights powered by the generators in Bite's basement. There is a plaque by the entrance that offers thanks to those who helped erect the building; blackdragon and Mictian.

    Upon passage through the studded steel double-doors at the base of the stairwell, visitors are greeted by an industrial-based, ominous office. Yet the building appears to be empty, with the exception of Bite's owners and editors. This is not a bustling publication, there is no secretary typing away at the curved steel desk in the front, nor making appointments. Though several passerby might stop in to utilize the rows of slimline, desktop computers lining the walls in order to access Bite's online publication, the part of Bite available to the public is often subdued and quiet, most of its raucous activity taking place over an internet connection.

    Further into the underground building, beyond where the public is granted access to, Bite houses a full printing press. Perhaps this is where one would see the most 'bustle', if one were invited in. The press is constantly running, concentrating on the new comments filtering in at every moment and printing the latest copies of Bite at rapid rates. Its ink never appears to run dry, and each copy printed is different, containing the newest news and public commentary. It is not immediately obvious how the printing press seems to instinctively know when and how to update its copy, yet many do not question it.

    Moving even further into the building, the industrial theme continues, the same LED lights utilized in the stairwell continuing sporadically over the ceiling to illuminate the business and its innermost workings. Across a concrete hallway one finds the mail room, equipped with more computers to sort their incoming emails and a post-room to sort their incoming paper mail, which may appear out of thin air thanks to teleportation scrolls. Mail is immediately opened, sorted, and printed in order to appear in the most recent copy of Bite almost immediately after it is received.

    The Bite building is large and spacious, despite the limited amount of space needed for its employees and the work that is done. Hallways may seem to lead to nowhere, containing hundreds of empty cement rooms, not equipped with windows or contact with the outside world. And yet at the end of another long, sparse cement hallway one reaches the cubicles, where all of Bite's 'magic' truly takes place. Fourteen cubicles flank the room; each cubicle maintains a desk and either vampire's personal computer, as well as a chair, a cot for overday worknights, and a small mini-fridge. This is where Coquette can be found more than 75% of the time, surrounded by scattered papers and Post-it notes, typing frantically away at her computer.

    This is Bite
