Artful Loungers are part of Superior Saturday's elite forces. Known to be wild and vicious, they will assault any enemy in sight. They wear precisely the same thing: glossy patent leather shoes, checked trousers, pastel-blue peasant smocks, and berets. Their smocks are all unbuttoned slightly in a "careful, careless way". Their weapons are curved blue-steel swords and crystal stilettos infused with Nothing. These stilettos are only good for a few hours, before the Nothing eats away at them, but they are powerful enough to kill even a Denizen. In Superior Saturday, their offices are described, predictably, as lounges, each with a standing lamp. The fabric in the lounges range greatly, from "black leather to bright floral patterns", and the lampshades match.
