Akatsubaki, one of the many esteemed oiran houses of the City of Many Sins, can be found at the entrance of the district’s pleasure alley; the building jutting out of the façade of an old entertainment complex filled with cinemas, clubs and restaurants. Closed during the day, Akatsubaki comes alive after sunset, its dimmed windows glowing warmly in the night. While the exterior of the old building has been worn down by sunlight and acid rains, the interior is lavishly decorated with crimson and gold, giving an appearance of decadence and luxury.
At Akatsubaki, discretion is valued and each client is given privacy in their appointments. An elevator connecting the house to a quiet alley is available for those who wish not to be seen stepping through the colorful front doors. A pre-arranged appointment is expected when seeking out any of the oiran working there. Those who come without an appointment are at the mercy of the schedule and the oiran’s whim, with a well-armed security detail ensuring the safety of the oiran and their patrons.
Akatsubaki employs both male and female courtesans, all of whom are classically trained in the ways of conversation, art, and games.
Location rules: Akatsubaki is open from Early Evening to Midnight. Please do not expect the GM to play as the entertainers for you - this location is meant as a classy meeting place and the players setting up threads here should write the staff performing and serving them drinks. Anyone writing the staff doing anything that goes past PG-13 will duly get booted out of the game.
