A few hours within his arms made her realize she could trust this man, this somewhat awkward but handsome and kind actor. Philo reminded him a lot of her previous lover before she had become a courtesan. Marco had been so honest, so kind...

But he was dead, killed by some hired thug. It was then ...

For Philo:

For the first time in a long time, Rebecca felt comfortable around men. This Philo seemed so down to earth and friendly, as well as perhaps a little modest deep down inside. Maybe he would be the one she told her problem to. However, that would have to wait. She still had a job to do ...

For Philo:

When they all returned to Francis' favorite table he signaled one of the wait staff, a tall man with dark skin and very deep green colored eyes.

"Poel, could you run behind the bar and grab a bottle of cha'ree ."

The very large man nodded and walked away.

" Cha'ree is a fabulous ...

Welcome to the thunderdome of introductions.

I hope you stop by the Ale Star sometime.

"Well, I already have quite a good security staff here as you can see by my latest acquisition in this Mr. Naru. However, even they need a rest sometime. Please tell me about your wares," Andreas said. He then turned to Naru, "Thank you for seeing him to me, Naru. I think Otak needs some help at the ...

Andreas Ricoletti- Is the suave, sophisticated owner of the brothel. Although many condemns his business he fancies himself a member of the community, often giving to charity and undertaking housing projects and putting on artistic productions. He loves the city of Marn and will gladly help ...

Rebecca giggled like an innocent schoolgirl would. Francis could tell that she was already taking a liking to him. Many of the employees enjoyed tumbles. In fact, he and Mae sometimes took turns being the other's customer for a night. Nothing could be better than intimacy with someone else who sold ...

"Is it okay...well, let's ask the lady herself...Rebecca, are you busy?"

Rebecca shook her head no.

"Do you find my partner Philo to be a pretty dashing fellow?"

"Yes," she answered softly, blushing a bit.

Francis couldn't help but chuckle. It was always funny to see one of the working girls ...

For Philo:

Francis laughed heartily at the question.

"Why yes, I almost always wear dresses Philo! Who else is going to give the ladies a run for their money?"

Veronica and others chuckled at this remark.

"I'm glad you asked about the theatre, would a few of you ladies like to join me as I ...

For Naru and Gimmel


Otak gave a knowing wink to the gnome after he finished the drink

"Oh, I know what you mean, mate...keep it strictly business. My missus says the same. And I'm feeling generous," Otak said, pushing the money back to the gnome, "it's on the house, we always value those who ...

For Gimmel

Otak smiled at the new customer.

"We've been open an hour or so now mate. This is the grand reopening of the Ale Star. Are you planning on being a paying customer? Cause there is a free drink in it if you are."

For Philo

"Oh, I'm very sure, lad. It's always nice for us boys ...

For Naru:

"Well, you've come to the best place for work then, my friend. I have need of more waitstaff, bar tenders, and security. I'll have you get trained, which will be paid, and after that you consider yourself an employee of the 'Star," Andreas said after listening to Naru's qualifications ...

(sorry about the wait)

For Naru:

Andreas notted the new employees appearance. One of the things he usually falted himself for was his desire to help the unemployed find their start within his business. However, he had a good feeling about this man. The man reminded him of his Uncle Ropert, who ...

Otak was only distracted for a moment, he thought there might have been altercation happening at the front, but it settled itself out. He returned his attention to the man, who spoke the exact words he needed to hear.

"As a matter of fact you can find some work right here in the Ale Star lad. As ...

For Philo:

Andreas raised his glass, "Indeed, to many, many standing ovations!"

Andreas, in the spirit of brevity, swallowed all of the contents in his mug and slammed the glass down upon the table with a celebratory yell. He wiped his mouth and smiled, noticing that the lower classes were still ...
