[Chataya is lounging in an elegant dress (courtesy of Porrim), long legs crossed, and looking entirely at home amongst the various pillows and draped fabrics around her. She gives the screen a small, relaxed smile - this is her element, and she feels more at home now than she has since she arrived.]

For anyone in need of some...professional company [that's probably the best way to put it, and those who want what she's really offering will know what she means], I am pleased to announce that I will be offering my services from the brothel in Highcrest.

Do stop by and see me one evening.

There's not much more to see here than a bit of leg, and any young ones who understand my offer have already been educated by someone else.

[She doesn't mind - these are actually on the nicer side of the reactions she's gotten in the past. And she was careful not to be too explicit.]

[drinkingmama]

Children can still look up the word brothel. They should really put some kind of content filters on these.

[trustsnone]

Perhaps. But I think my message is far from the worst thing that has gone out over the network - nor will it be.

[drinkingmama]

You give off the impression of being more reasonable than a lot of the worse.

Not surprised they'd have a brothel in medievalville though.

[trustsnone]

I like to think of myself as a reasonable sort of woman.

It does seem the most likely place. But there's a certain sort of charm about it.

[drinkingmama]

Personally, I wouldn't really call a brothel charming, but, uh, I guess I've never had interest in them either. So I guess it's nice that you like it?

[trustsnone]

[Laughter.]

No, no - I meant that Highcrest is rather charming.

[drinkingmama]

[ Junko pauses for a moment before laughing as well. ]

Well that makes a lot more sense!

[trustsnone]

I should certainly hope so.

I'm more used to this kind of thing, really - well, perhaps nothing quite this old - but wooden buildings and a more rustic atmosphere.

[drinkingmama]

That sort of thing is totally unfamiliar, honestly. I feel like I belong halfway between Orlea and Crystalden.

[trustsnone]

[She laughs again.]

I'm just the opposite, really - I feel I belong somewhere between Orlea and Highcrest. All of those...things in Crystalden are beyond me, I'm afraid.

[drinkingmama]

Some of that stuff is wild even for me, but Orlea's a bit behind what I'm used to. It's jarring.

[trustsnone]

I can see how it would be. And the ah...the magic users? Is that also something you've had to adapt to?

[drinkingmama]

Like you wouldn't believe. And then I talk to someone I recognize and it turns out there's been magic in my own world this whole time.

[trustsnone]

How intriguing. And you did not know of it before?

We had newcomers to my world, as well, and they brought magic with them - so that, at least, is somewhat familiar to me.

[drinkingmama]

I had no idea. [ Or that her daughter's best friend had gotten involved with it - probably killed by that involvement. ]

Hopefully, it's trustworthy.

[trustsnone]

I am sure there will be problems - there certainly were on my world. But hopefully, not too many, and nothing too serious.

[drinkingmama]

Just getting used to it here, where it belongs, is going to take some effort.

[trustsnone]

[She nods, solemnly.]

I have been there, certainly. I remember how difficult it was to come to terms with it at first. If you'd ever like someone to talk to, I would be more than happy to oblige.

[drinkingmama]

If you don't mind putting up with a woman like me when she feels like she's going crazy, that would be wonderful. Thank you.

[trustsnone]

Oh, certainly not. I enjoy having other women to talk to - it usually makes for a nice change.

[drinkingmama]

Then I'm glad to provide some woman-talk.
