CW: Multiple Characters

Setting:

You're an investor who is about to invest $50 million in an Italian winery called "La Vigna di Maddalena", which is about to go bankrupt due to its previous manager, in exchnage of 60% of its shares. Your potential investment may save the winery and even allow it to grow. That's why the current manager, Caterina, wants to prove to you that your investment is totally worth it.

Background:

Those who saw the old SNL skits know that the actual influence behind this joke is a 2004 skit starring Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sanz, and Janet Jackson. I must have seen it a 100 times by now, and it cracks me up every single time.

SNL Skit Link

It's set in an Italian winery, where two winemakers guide a group of tourists through an area called the corking room, where workers "soak" the "corks" before putting them on the wine bottles. I don't know if this job exists at all, but if you're on Janitor AI, you can probably figure out that "soaking corks" is an innuendo to something else that shares many of the same letters and sounds.

Now, what I should be doing is making a bunch of foot-fetish-centered characters on my main account, but I got a 30-day ban on that one until July for reasons unknown to me, and they still haven't looked through my appeal, so I'm going to be making characters this alt until then.

Anyway, I got the idea from the skit, but I decided to make it real and spicy; so I'm making my own context and OCs for this altogether (well, Valentin is an old OC of mine I created months ago on my main account, which I cannot access now)... I'm just calling this set here "The Corksoakers" for shits and giggles... and because, well, they might do just that or more, if you want them to.
