[Video] June 8th [cw: sex work/prostitution]

[As Hanzo comes into focus he clears his throat, straightening his yukata as he gathers his thoughts.]

Greetings. If you do not know me, my name is Hanzo Shimada.

In light of recent events I have been more thoroughly considering starting a business to provide paid chroma replenishment services. For those who were left drained and suffering caring for dragon eggs due to lack of companionship, this would provide services to provide them with chroma to avoid depletion for a small percentage of chroma generated as payment.

Additionally these services may also be used by those who are looking for companionship further than hugging and hand holding for whatever reasons. We will not ask. I plan to have clientele remain anonymous if they so decide.

In order for something of this nature to be plausible I would need to know if there is any demand for such services and if there are any moonblessed among us that would be interested in employment as sex workers. You would be paid well, protected, and treated fairly. No one will have to take on clients that they, for any legitimate reason, are uncomfortable with.

[He leans back a bit casually in his seat instead of being rigid and upright. His father would be ashamed of his manners but made proud by Hanzo's initiative, so he briefly offers a smile as he moves stray strands of hair from his face.]

As stated before, I understand this topic may be taboo for some, so you are free to leave feedback publicly or anonymously. Could you support a business venture like this? Would you be willing to do work that is necessary but not necessarily easy? Let me know your thoughts, good or bad. All feedback is welcome.

Thank you for your time.

I don't see why there wouldn't be at least some demand. Hal talked about making a network or app to help people connect with others who needed Chroma help at one point. It seems like it would be more than fair to have this kind of service too.

Honestly, this may be the easier option for some people. Or preferable. My way is for... well, I intended it to be more for safety purposes, but not everyone's tech savvy.

It's the oldest profession, after all.

I've been down to Level 3, and there is a red light district -- but they're not Moonblessed.

I can see the pros and cons to this, but I just can't get behind it on a personal and moral level. Call me old fashioned, I guess. But as the above stated, I have been trying to make a check-in app for folks. This is the most straightforward way, I imagine.

Good luck. If I were a different man, I might even offer, but I do what I do with special people.

uh

how are you gonna generate any business using a model like this, exactly?

we all generate the energy intrinsically, right? why would anyone pay to generate it? they'd be losing chroma to gain chroma...??

you could probably make more of a profit just spooning with someone for eight hours.

( Her expression is... slightly complicated, compared to what he's used to seeing, but she's sure he'll understand why. Still, she has no warnings or harsh words for him; as others have already stated, there will certainly be a demand for such a thing, especially for those who aren't particularly skilled at forging their own connections with others.

It could be significantly easier for someone to walk into a shop and get their chroma fix. )


I'm sure there would be many who are thankful for a place to simply go and know what will be expected of them as well as those they employ. If anything ever happens, I hope you know you can call me. I will do what I can for whatever may come to pass for your employees or those they may need protection from; I'm sure you'll take good care of them, but that's not to say the guest you throw out won't be injured, as well. And by then I'm sure they'll have learned their lesson.

( Her tone turns up a bit at the end with her teasing, a little lighter now. But she means it; she wouldn't be able to help him with the business nor would she be interested in "working" for him, but he will always have her aid if he needs it. Having a doctor on call may help assuage anyone who wishes to help others for a wage, as well. )

Oh, there’s demand alright.

From me, definitely.

But I’m sure there are other people who’d want this.


[Though, let’s be real, Greed wants this more ‘cause he’s a horny dude than ‘cause he has any concerns about his ability to get Chroma or find people to have sex with. He has full confidence in himself when he comes to that stuff. But, being Greed, he’s both horny and of the belief that more is always better.]

Oh, that is a wonderful idea! Having such a service available would certainly have made things much less stressful for me while I cared for my egg.
Granted, at this point I cannot say for certain how frequently I would be likely to patronize such an establishment. And it is also probably too early for me to say whether I would have an interest in working there.
But in concept, I most definitely support it!

I'm actually somewhat surprised that services like this aren't already available, considering.

[Dorian has no issue with this, prostitution and sex work isn't as taboo in Thedas as long as discretion was practiced.]

Many brothels back home exist under the protection of some kind of guild with guard type situations for the protection of prostitutes and patrons. So there's a certain degree of respect along with discretion.

[Well that's certainly a remarkable name. It's the first thing that catches Mikazuki's attention but not the first thing he comments on for the time being.]

It was following that logic that lead me to open my own establishment. You would have to do a very poor job managing it, not to see any returns, what with the way chroma gets generated.

I imagine what you're proposing would also have a certain demand as well, given the discretion and reserve many would prefer to hold onto while here.
