 One of the higher end bordellos in Chicago this dance hall is owned and operated by Amber. Unlike some places which cater to only one type pf client. This is a place where you can see dance shows of various kinds as well as enjoy the 'companionship' of the dancers...for a fee of course. Not aligned with any particular mob this os one of the free places in Chicago where all are welcome so long as they check their grudges at the door.
*This may be a brothel but use common sense. Gaia TOS is still in play here, no one needs to see cyber chat. The brothel is the front for other activity, which is mainly what will be rped. If you want to say your character is using the establishments services say something to the effect that you went to one of the workers rooms and leave it at that. If you do not obey you get two warnings third strike you get kicked from guild and your character dies in a manner I see fit. I won't have my guild ruined because people don't follow TOS!*

SIC VIS PACEM PARA BELLVM It took a while but Gerulf finally found somewhere to eat. He sits down and settles in to watch a show. The show isn't bad and the food isn't terrible. The booze tastes like it was brewed in someones bathtub though... After the show he sits there nursing his swill.

 Rose Walters Rose sat on a crushed black velvet feinting couch. The Rising Phoenix prided itself on its refinement and elegance the women who worked here were courtesans not mere girls for hire. They were beautiful dancers, educated, taught to play instruments and sing, taught how to make the man who;s arm they were on seem more important. Rose was proud of this reputation yet the hollowness of the lies and painted smiles on soulless hearts ate at her core. It had been seven years she had made this place her home, her work her whole life, she knew a scarlet lady was doomed to her self-made fate. Trying to push the downward spiral from her mind, she began to re-read the page she had started five times now. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne one of her favorite authors, escapist literature at its finest.

Rose Walters When Amber was killed in a car accident a week past, the ownership of the club fell to her as the vice-manager. The place had run well, but she wanted to do something more to bring in some new high rollers.

Rose Walters
The floor show had just ended to thunderous applause, Rose had watched form her table high in the right balcony it offered her a great view of the floor but also kept her secluded. Since she was the madam of the place, things had changed. She had brought in more entertainment and now wanted a connection to getting some better booze for her place. This bath tub hooch was not what high rollers wanted, they wanted they real deal smuggled in from Canada or Europe. For that however she would have to make some mafia connections. Something that Amber never would have done. something she had vehemently sworn she would never do when different representatives had come and offered 'protection and support'. With everything going well she thought now would be a good time to leave and see where the chips laid, her first business spot she would check would be the Irish they seemed to be doing well lately., and unlike her old boss and mentor she was not worried about the heat mafia connections might draw. So long as the right palms stayed greased there would be no trouble at all.

 Fiona HayesFiona Claire Hayes poured more coffee into the elderly patron's cup. Working at Lulu's Cafe wasn't something Fiona had had in mind when she came to Chicago six years ago, nor working at the public library. Fiona smiled at the elderly man as he said his thanks and then moved on to the couple that had just walked in. On her way over to the table, she overheard a two men talking about a nightclub called The Rising Phoenix. This might be her big break. Finally, somewhere to sing and dance. And to meet the gangsters she was always reading about in the papers. Fiona put all the information about the club in the back of her mind and went to wait on the couple.

Rose Walters Rose had hired a few new singers and dancers in the last few days to replace those who got married or just moved on down the road of life and away from her place. She still needed a few more girls and she needed them before the big gala she was planning to make her gem the talk of the windy city.

Fiona HayesThe Rising Phoenix was in the seedy part of town. Fiona pulled her tattered and weather beaten brown coat tighter around her. There were not many people out. The few men that were leered at her and let out whistles. Fiona had no weapon and would not know how to defend herself should she ever get into a situation. Luckily, the men only leered. Fiona put on her air of confidence. Instead of looking like a victim, she would pretend to know where she was going. If it was one thing she was good at doing besides singing, it was acting. The Rising Phoenix was out of the public eye. Had Fiona not been paying attention she would have missed it entirely. She made her way carefully down the stairs. She stopped at the door and checked her appearance. Fiona did not own many dresses and the few she did were not what a singer in a nightclub would wear. She pulled the cracked compact from her purse and applied more lipstick. She would try anyway. Fiona gave a firm knock. The good girl wanting a bad boy

Rose Walters Rose smoothed her hair and then put on her painted smile and opened the door. She smiled at the girl, probably another with stars in her eyes. "come in please" she said smoothly as she stepped back and opened the door wide to allow her to enter.

Fiona HayesThe woman that answered the door was beautiful, in Fiona's opinion. Dark black hair and porcelain skin, opposed to Fiona's slightly tanned skinned and fair hair and eyes. "Thank you," Fiona said, as the woman led her in. Fiona looked around The Rising Phoenix. Exquisite was the word to describe it. Forgetting her manners, Fiona turned back to the woman. "I'm Fiona Hayes," Fiona said holding out her hand. "Um...I don't know how I approach this," Fiona twisted her hands. She was more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full a rocking chairs. "I'm a singer and I'd like to audition? Please." The good girl wanting a bad boy

Rose Walters Rose closed the door. "Well hunny, you are in the lion's den here. There is a space between acts, if you want to try singing." Rose gestured to the mike. "If you want I can show you a costume room where you could change if you so choose." she added. the girl was young but, she also had a cute face. That would serve her well here, if she could survive her test.

Fiona Hayes'Acts?' Fiona thought. 'Why would there be acts in a nightclub?' This puzzled Fiona, but she was determined for someone to hear her sing. 'This maybe my only shot. Take the bull by the horns.' Fiona looked down at her drabby clothes. She had just taken off from Lulu's and had come here straight after. Even if she did have time to change, Fiona still did not have a glamourous dress to wear. "I'd be ever so grateful if you could. Miss...?" The good girl wanting the bad boy

Rose Walters "Walter, but call me Rose. Follow me." Rose said as she took the girl's hand and leading her to the backroom where the dresses were. "Take anything you like and change here. How would you like me to announce you?" She asked giving her an encouraging smile.

Fiona Hayes"Alright Rose," Fiona said. Fiona was led to a changing room. The gowns were beautiful, but very revealing. 'Goodness,' Fiona thought. She had never been sure of what singers wore, but from all the posters she had seen of Bessie Smith the dresses were modest but were seductive in a way. The dresses Fiona saw left little to nothing of the imagination. However, a sapphire dress caught her eye. She pulled it off the rack and changed. The dress had a thigh slit on her right side and the thin straps hung below her shoulders and was very form fitting. Fiona looked herself over in the mirror. Everything was perfect! Fiona smiled. "I guess just my name...Fiona will do." she replied to Rose's question. The good girl wanting the bad boy
