[Wids]

So Tristella, Raven and Marrick all partied up last night and went to the Sweet Petals brothel. Being a couple of Velsharoonites, Raven and Marrick, having heard Tristella's description of the place, followed Tristella to see the Pale Master who serves as the brothel's pimp. Tristella went for her usual "temperance"--as she calls her episodes of financially supporting brothels and harlots for their expected purpose--and Raven and Marrick hoped that they might watch Tristella in the act.

Boy, did they ever. Tristella has sampled each of the three options at Sweet Petals several times in the past, and this time she chose something exotic. "Something exotic" costs 500 Talons for a session, and Tristella had 1,033 Talons in her purse at the time. So she paid for the prostitute (who turned out to be an erinyes...one of Tristella's favorites) and, much to her surprise, Raven went upstairs with her and the erinyes, leaving Marrick and the proprietor to voyeurize through the crystal ball downstairs.

The erinyes did a surprisingly capable job of handling two people at the same time, and both Tristella and Raven learned something new from the hired menage-a-trois. What I didn't notice until afterwards was that Tristella had been charged twice for the erinyes' service. And that explained why Raven went with her. If she hadn't run out of money, Marrick would have joined them as well. (Unfortunately, Tristella and Marrick have vastly differing ideas on what an ideal coital partner is, but that's neither here nor there. :P )

Of course, with that came the realization that all three of them would have gone upstairs if Tristella had hired a woman instead of something exotic.

...or a man instead of something exotic. Heh heh heh... :D

It's just a little something to keep in mind the next time you party up and go a-whoring. This has been a Public Service Announcement. Remember to support your local brothel today! ;)
