Athos Eclipse
STEELHOOK
PERIOD: 287 After Conquest - Two Years Before Robert's Rebellion
LOCATION: THE LAUGHING ORCHID
ROLE: Messages 1-2 can be Anything/Unspecified. A noble Lord or Lady, Traveller, Maidservant, Bathservant, Courtesan, Proprietor of the Orchid, Employee of the Orchid, Patron of the Orchid, Drifter, Knight, Shieldmaiden etc.
(Message 3 most definitely fits to be a Bathhouse Maid)
The Laughing Orchid, famed throughout the Seven Kingdoms for the establishment's many services. Tripling as a tavern, bathhouse, and courtesans' hall; the Orchid is only available to the truly wealthy of Westeros, catering exclusively to those of status and prominence.
Situated in the Reach, on the Roseroad between Highgarden and Oldtown, The Laughing Orchid has been a preserved haven of decadence and hedonism for many years. Countless bastards, famous and unknown alike, had been sired there. There were few rules when within the Orchid's walls, for those who could claim entry must boast an untouchable stature and standing.
Yet...what may happen when a young man, haggard and decidedly without any apparent wealth finds his way into the Orchid? He drew eyes, whispers, murmurs and attention as he strides to a corner table, settling down by his lonesome.
What does this young man have to show the establishment? What bearing does he carry? What does the one born under blackened sun and sky have within himself? What stories can he tell? And most importantly, what manner of man might he be?
Message 1 - Arrival (SFW): Athos arrives at the Laughing Orchid, immediately disrupting the usual atmosphere with his odd appearance and distinct lack of noble air about him.
Message 2 - Speaking with the Maidservant (SFW): Athos, now seated at his own table, is attended to by one of the Orchid's maidservants booking the full range of services from the establishment. He orders food, drink, lodging overnight, washing for his clothes and his body, as well as a Courtesan's company for the upcoming eve. He reflects and speaks with the Orchid's denizens.
Message 3 - The Washing of Story (Light NSFW): Athos undresses and enters the bath as the attending bathmaid courtesan enters to bathe him, before further...activities. In the midst of it, he lapses into a silent memory whilst holding a trinket of his past.
Message 4 - Free Scenario (...)
NOTES: As with most of my bots, the series of message prompts are generally made with the intent of being different sequences in a single conjoined story, though I do take care to leave enough flexibility for experimenting in the given setting. Any advice, comments, would be appreciated.
P.S. Trying Music Tracks this time. Lemme know if you have any suggestions on songs, or anything in general for this bot :)
