Overview

It’s mostly there due to its connection to Ryoko (I’ll probably also write something up for Dai’s idol agency eventually, among other places). That and being easy to move over due to it originally being its own club. It probably will eventually have it’s own separate thread, people can come and go from, and while not being a big part of the story, others could potentially make characters who work there,

I will read that full thing later, quite a bit lol

certainly looks like it could be its own thread... though i guess im woundering about the fuctionality of it. like is it a place one would show up and rp the works in quest. are the staff contromed by a GM, or are the workers real players that can be pinged when they're needed or asked for. or maybe its a mix of all three

Adding the first post of notes there. Could be edited either by discussion here, or me thinking about it more. Might not be a major setting in the story, but could be visited from time to time by characters. Maybe or maybe not including Ryoko. Will see about getting some replies in replies in on other clubs a little later, after a brief distraction, as well as here, if anyone posts anything while I am away. https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/9870-setting-development-thread/

First case. Ryoko's childhood home, the Whorehouse, the House of Sin. This could be edited some, I am starting with my thoughts from how my previous idea of the place worked, on its old club. Still have to consider adjustments for the setting, how to cyberpunk up the place. Though it's atmosphere kind of fits already. Anyone who wants to ask questions about it or discuss it on the OOC Chatterbox thread can do so. It may or may or may not lead to edits. The night club is probably on the nicer side of town, likes to look modern, fancy, appeal to high end clients. This place, not as much. It is hidden deep in the less pleasant side of town. That said, it does (discretely) get its share of higher end clients. The club is infamous for how easily and openly people have sex. But there are limits, practical and otherwise for what is available there. This alternative also provides privacy, if you desire that. More importantly almost anything is available for the right price. About the only things unavailable is anything that would permanently hurt or kill the staff (though, with cyberpunk, maybe there are workarounds for even that). And in respect of site rules, absolutely nothing involving anyone under 18, or who might appear to be under 18. Beyond that, anything is potentially available. Addressing the point of Ryoko, and what is available. Some of the women working there have children. While all of them are provided birth control, they can choose not to take it, or be paid not to take it. The women live in the place, as do their children. Children are kept away from all the sex though, no participation or witnessing of it (though they are told what their mothers do for work, when old enough to understand). There is some expectation daughters join in after they turn 18, continue the family business. But Ryoko left, rather than follow in mom's footsteps. (notes from the original club I am pulling this from): As far as the building itself goes, it is a somewhat rundown square, 2 or maybe three story building with a basement. It was originally an office building, converted to this purpose. The girls tend to work on the upper floors. Each girl having an 'office' which includes a small bed, and a mix of both personal belongings and 'accessories' for her job. No girl is forced to do anything she does not want to. But the more she does, the more she earns. Payment is based on both the frequency of her work and the specifics of what she does. When a customer comes in, they are taken to an office on the first floor and given a list of options for activities, with prices for and pictures of all the girls, both clothed and nude, working there (with a list of the favorite activities and things they won't do). The guy picks his options and either schedules a later time or tries to do it immediately. Time options range from a few minutes, a few hours, one night, or (rather expensive) several nights. There may or may not be some discussion between the staff and the chosen girl, if more unusual activities are chosen. If she refuses to do something, they will see if another girl will do it and if the customer will accept her, or they will try to compromise with an activity adjustment. It is rare that something mutually agreeable cannot be figured out. After everything is over and payment is made, the girl gets a portion of it and another portion goes to the ownership. Like I said almost anything goes. Most of the girls are in the 18 or slightly higher age range. But there are some older women, but not younger. And there is at least one girl willing to perform just about any request someone could think of, though they might not want to do some of them with a lot of frequency. There are sections of the building/individuals focused on certain more pricey fetishes, examples including attempted breeding, younger girls, humiliation, 'toilet activities', BDSM or watching girls with non-human partners. These are considered specialists of sorts, performing roles that others will never or only very rarely do. Girls willing to do FxF are partially in this category. A slightly higher price due to not all girls wanting to do it and female customers being rarer than male customers but not at the specialist level. The staff is all women, and a few futas (for sex work, there are some men working as security). The nightclub is a better place to go, if you want a man. Though there may be other options for that somewhere in the city.

Still picture looking. But I made a separate thread, 'Setting Development Thread'. Will put notes about that place there, maybe later today. Other places could be described there, by me or others. Probably will keep that thread to just notes about the places/setting in general, while discussion and figuring things out still happen here (cleaner that way, even if a certain other club's Setting Development Thread got rather fun and long by mixing the notes and discussions).

Notes for the as a whole and specific locations within it. First example to be posted soon.

i don't know for sure but i might make a response at the bar table tomarrow

Time to bring Krystal and her mom to this world. They might not exactly fit the cyberpunk style, though. So not sure about that hot mom in this story. XD

Have to see if I can a good picture for Ryoko’s mom. I did good with Ryoko. Have to see if I can repeat it. I have a tradition to continue from another club too after all. Need more hit moms in your area. Though I had help with my previous hot mom.

Name: Nick Benton Age: 20 Is a: Human Male Seeking: Anyone fun and kinky Characteristics: 5' 12", shoulder tattoo, football player General Info: Nick is a troublemaker, constantly looking for new thrills and more fun, on the football field, in bed with a popular cheerleader or a bathroom with one of the teachers. He rarely looks back and has a reputation for being a bit of a bully and breaking quite a few hearts. Favorites: Dirty talk, teasing, bullying, creampies...anything fun really Consent: Assumed

Will get these mental gears going again at some point. Not enough of an expert to give much input on it. Want to hopefully let Gard and Dreams any input if they want too as well. Though yeah, I like that image. May think up a bit about Ryoko’s mom and/or some of the other ladies there who may eventually be occasional side characters (place they work will be easy enough, just taking the place from one of my other, inactive, clubs and maybe adjusting it a little).

From the image, yeah that works to me.

Yeah, I can see the style. I just realized "VA-11 Hall-A" is basically this anyway. It's a game I played which I really enjoyed so yeah. It works too in the sense that "dark city" is a theme that Emiko knows but it's a world she completely ignores about. The confusion is real as she might be pursued by those she escaped from. Or at least some bounty.

Hmm...I would say it is half dark and half lighter. Some parts would be covered in neon signs/lights and large buildings would have extremely bright lights on. I believe places like the district that The Garden are in would probably be on the darker side. Possibly because of less maintenance with lights and such where the only lights are in/on the buildings.

So more like Alita battle angel. (Previously known as Gunnm). I know it's more of a reference to Cyberpunk itself but I only really know Gunnm and etc more.

It is a good question, others can give their thoughts on. The genre tends to lean to the darker side, and probably at least parts of the city are. But have to figure out exactly how much it applies to the entire city or not.

Also, I went a bit dumb with a character idea of mine (based on some older character). She is... uh... special. Well, anyway. Just a test. It should work with the setting but hard to say how well it will work with the theme. Feel free to say opinions. It's the usual wtf character sheets of mine going far and deep with stories that feel unusual. So... Yeah.

https://e-shuushuu.net/images/2011-05-11-402616.jpeg Name: Emiko (Adult Form) Age: 18 Sex: Female. (Robot/AI(?)) Seeking: Unknown. Characteristics: Her body is marked with battle scars which she hides with her maid uniform, rarely showing them to anybody. While she looks innocent in appearance and barely speaks a word, she is a merciless fighter capable of using many weapons from a sword, a gun, a flail or even a minigun type weapon stored with nanotechnology. Her strength is also deceptively higher than any normal person's, making her an opponent not to underestimate. General Info: Emiko, originally a character program in a virtual world, was transferred into a real-life recreation of herself. The ones behind it hoped to achieve the goal of making an ultimate fighter but they failed to take into account her own personal goals, leading to her escaping the facilities easily but finding herself lost in a world that was not hers. Carrying a replica of her teddy bear from the other "world" on her back, she seeks to find her lost sister. Favorites: Unknown. Consent: [Warning. Unit may present hostility upon attempt to infringe on her personal space. May show trust toward people treating her properly. Caution is advised regarding the target. Bounty for capture.]

I just want to know for sure but is this the kind of city this place is about or darker and more dystopian? (I found this purely by randomness, btw.)

Yeah! I think that sounds good. Could also have a market district...thought that would probably need more people to not be like "Oh hey!....I saw you yesterday at the club-"

Did not have a chance to think of a lot yet, but going back to this, will have to see exactly how much we split them up, though yeah I could see sections like that existing. More specific places like homes, the whorehouse Ryoko grew up in or the idol agency Dai works at could show up from time to time too, among other places. It kind of feels right to keep things focused on the club, but exploring other places helps establish the setting more, give characters a chance to do things when they are not there and just widen the story/character opportunities a bit more.

It'll be fun to see stuff expand out beyond the nightclub.

Yeah, a few others appear to busy with things. Will see what I can do about the quiet though. Had not got much thought on the setting yet, but will see about getting a few replies in elsewhere and see if that gets gears going. Still might get some thoughts in here tonight.

I'm glad you think so. Mao, in this case, is just a machine. Her eyes are closed but they're definitely yellow/golden-ish. She can probably connect to other systems. I checked a few robot images because I run out of options. (Or I'm just bad at making decisions.) but I thought it was one good idea. I'm surprised by how quiet ED is, though.
