| LOCATIONS |
The Nameless Island consists of two primary domains. First is the Nameless City, a utopic luxury island resort town staffed by helpful robots and rife with highly advanced technology, which exists synergistically with lush tropical plant life to create a "solarpunk" or "eco-punk" aesthetic. Player and NPC businesses and attractions are located in the Nameless City. Unspoiled nature is also abundant, with vast blue seas and exciting mountain terrain for Islanders to enjoy in their free time. In the City, all Islanders will reside in one of two resorts: the Apartments (ideal for singles and couples) or the House of Worship (larger residences designed for groups). Thanks to the Augur's gift of Augmented Reality, these residences are completely customizable with Augur rewards. The second domain is Sim City, a simulated world which shifts periodically according to the whims of the Augur. Safe havens requested by characters are located in Sim City, and the look and feel of them may or may not shift to match the current setting. Following Simulation 001 (posted in October '21), Islanders may choose to upload a part of their consciousness to the simulation in order to seamlessly enjoy both the goings-on of the simulation and the Resort simultaneously. As Sim City is highly influenced by the minds of the participating Islanders, players can feel free to play fast and loose with locations as needed! WEATHER UPDATES: The climate of the Island is typically comfortable and tropical, with occasional weather events. The seas are calm and perfect for fishing, swimming, and boating, but do not venture too far into the fog which still lingers on the horizon some miles off. Those who do will find themselves looping back to where they began, with temporary amnesia effects. TRANSPORTATION: In addition to the Augur's tendency to warp Islanders from one place to another, a trolley system is available between all major attractions, businesses, and residences. 🞃 public locationsBEACH | You wash up on the island onto the beach, a small cove of pink sands and gently lapping waves which are surrounded by coral reef, tropical vegetation, and a path to the city. Tents and rustic shacks are available on the beach as temporary housing or relaxation options. NAMELESS ISLAND & NAMELESS CITY | The Nameless Island appears to have no bounds. Once you wander too far beyond The Nameless City, you will encounter a thick fog which conscientious robots will warn you to stay away from, lest you lose your memories. If you travel, fly, or swim too far beyond the shores of the island itself, you seem to circle back around from whence you came - with no recollection as to how you got there. HOSPITAL | The Hospital houses and guards the Augur on The Nameless Island. It is the central feature of the Island, and Islanders can receive supplies and provisions from the robots here. The Augur is set up in what would be the chief medical officer's room. Recently, one of the unused wings was set aside entirely for PCs to fix up and use as their personal facility! Robots will not go inside their wing of the hospital without being invited. This wing even has its own entrance for emergency accessibility. RECREATION CENTER | H̴u̶m̷a̴n̷s̷,̸ ̴e̵x̷e̷r̸c̴i̶s̶e̵!̴ ̸H̴u̵m̴a̴n̵ ̶s̴e̶x̸e̸r̷c̷i̵s̴e̵!̸ ̶W̶e̷ ̷h̷a̸v̸e̶ ̶r̶e̴s̸t̷o̷r̸e̶d̶ ̴a̵ ̶p̷l̶a̷c̶e̴ ̵o̴f̴ ̴b̵o̸d̸y̵ ̸w̵o̷r̸s̷h̵i̵p̸!̶ The gymnasium/rec center has been upgraded! Here, Islanders will find everything they need to keep their bodies in peak physical condition... and more! Dildos of all colors, shapes and sizes are mounted on about half of the machinery. Some are positioned well for vaginal insertion, others for anal insertion. There are sanitary wipes in every room, at least. The outdoor track includes a standard sized sports field and a shed full of equal amount sex toys and sports equipment. P̷l̶e̷a̴s̸e̴ ̵e̶n̴j̵o̴y̵ ̷y̷o̷u̸r̵ ̸r̴e̶c̶r̴e̵a̴t̶i̵o̸n̷.̷ HANGAR | The hangar was once the rundown, rusted and barely maintained storage shed for mecha on the Island, but it has been greatly upgraded since then! It is cleaner, streamlined, has robot drones helping in maintenance and repairs on mobile suits as requested. There are gravity controls that work when all doors to the hangar are properly closed and the anti-gravitation only lasts for two hours before it needs a recharge. Then there are the simulation chambers! Two full-size simulation cockpits back-to-back have been installed that react to each other in a PVP format, but otherwise work independently. All mobile suits currently in the hangar are already downloaded into the system. Any upgrades that occur to these suits will also be added into the simulator. Any AI systems built into the mobiles suits will also be replicated within the full emersion simulator, although without any of the physical complications (nothing that would cause brain damage or other injuries). But there is a small addition, the robots modified into the systems. Any AI system will also include a subliminal messaging of sexual thoughts and possibilities. Something to stimulate more adrenaline and further arousal while piloting the system. Some may notice it after a while, others may never pick up the change. It also may lead characters to being more susceptible to acting on impulsive thoughts and desires they had while inside of the simulator after they exit. They'll need to burn off all that energy somehow. But they only work when the people using them are mostly unclothed or naked. Skin exposure is needed to activate them and keep them working. Right outside the hangar is the new Pump'n'Plug Refuel Station! It is a kiosk-style gas station with some supply of varied fuel reserves for islanders' vehicles and mechs, but it is limited and will need restocking by request. The more fuels requested, the more squares necessary. LIBRARY | The city library stores media data chips that can be freely downloaded to your bracelet device. Or, if you prefer, you might be interested in purchasing a tablet-like electronic reader to peruse your selections on a larger screen. Most library data has been resorted: nonfiction including history, linguistics, horticulture, etc. Descriptions of various periods of history around the multiverse have been transcribed from the memories of Islanders, often with a bit of sexy embellishment of various historical feats. In fact, everything seems a touch sexually explicit...? The library also houses the community college, which hosts robot-led classes for all sorts of subjects. Any Islander is welcome to attend a class and augment their knowledge of math and science, cosmology, operation of Erku technology, and exciting new sex techniques. Inquire within if you would like to teach a class! BATHHOUSE | A bathhouse is also available for public use. The steaming, mineral-rich waters have healing properties for organic lifeforms, which hasten the healing of minor wounds, reverse effects of Augur-related events and aphrodisiac-laced foods and items, and eliminate the memory-wipe effects of the fog that lingers over much of the island. Not only that, but these baths will help you feel instantly relaxed! Just sink into the waters and feel your cares wash away. GREENHOUSE | An auspicious Greenhouse has been built up by robots who've heard that humans like organic food. They'll help you grow and maintain anything you ask - although they might not always do the best job, and you might find yourself with an unusual, Erku-native variant of your desired plant instead. VENUS GLEETRAP BOTANICAL GARDENS | Welcome to the newly constructed Venus Gleetrap Gardens, where you can enjoy gorgeous blooms from all over the known universe! The indoor botanical spectacle is temperature controlled and carefully maintained by robot stewards. At the giftshop, Islanders can buy anything they might need for a pleasant picnic, as well as cuttings of any flowers they take fancy to, so they might grow them at home. Holographic lightshows of beautiful (if psychadelic) spring days are presented twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. No two shows are alike! HOMESTEADY DAIRY FARM | Formerly run by Jesse Mccree. The homestead currently contains several acres of fenced off land, several milking cows and a few calves, a plethora of cats, a cattle barn, and a farmhouse. It is now run by robots and the milk is given away to Islanders who request it or “donated” to the local restaurants. Near to the farm but on public lands, potato fields, citrus groves, and vineyards thrive. They are mostly tended by robots, but Islanders are welcome to pitch in and take home the ample produce. FAIREST FOWLS AVIARY | For our bird lovers, say hello to Fairest Fowls, a large robot-run aviary to help care for the recent spike in the bird population. Visitors are welcome, but please mind where you stand. HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY BODY | Healthy Mind, Healthy Body is a mental health office! Dr. D. Love and his small robot staff will listen to any troubles that people may need to talk about and offer solutions for your troubles (usually through sex therapy). DIRTY & CLEAN FUN LAUNDROMAT | Dirty & Clean Fun Laundromat is now open for business! It's a 24/7 laundromat with very helpful robots who will even fold your laundry for you! Just be careful, because they may mix up laundry, lose some of them entirely, or you might find your undergarments leaving you feeling very aroused to the point you just can't keep your hands out of them. 🞃 residential locationsAPARTMENTS | Typical apartments, fully stocked with all the amenities an Islander may need for a sexually liberated life, are freely available for island residents to claim. These apartments are sparsely furnished in a high-tech minimalist style, but can be freely modified to an Islander's taste with Augur requests. The size is ideal for singles or couples. HOUSE OF WORSHIP | The House of Worship has been upgraded! These spacious apartments are ideal for group living. They are furnished similarly to the smaller apartments, and they can also be modified freely through Augur requests. Your imagination is the limit! 🞃 entertainment locationsENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT | The Entertainment District is active! The energy robots are able to harness from the sun increased their productivity exponentially, and a colorful multi-level entertainment district has sprung up to surround a few of the city’s familiar locations. Here you will find: Tailor shop that will sell you some fresh new underwear, or at least some pants. The Forge and its associated marketplace, featuring chainmail bikinis, swords with penis-shaped handles, and anything else your trashy heart desires. Flashbang: a greasy diner with free food on Topless Tuesdays. The Full Moon(ty) Theater has two screening rooms that show different features all day. Fridays are cosplay day. Come in costume and get a free popcorn! You can also get free food by volunteering to work the concessions! Steaming Carafe: a cafe that changes decor monthly (the theme being related to the Kink Special of the month or an upcoming Native Holiday) selling coffees, other caffeinated beverages, and sometimes food specials The Limp Noodle Shop is a robot-run shop has three small tables and a long counter for serving customers. It caters to various noodle foods and soups from any world and their menu changes regularly, but Wednesday is All You Can Eat Ramen Day. Try the Special Spicy Fishcakes to get a free drink, but they might make your noodle anything but limp and you'll need some help to calm it down. Effects can last up to three hours. Ticket To Ride is an all-purpose arcade with tacky carpet and games that yield tickets like skeeball and Whack-a-Woody, which can be exchanged for sexy, colorful prizes! Trés Gueule is a robot-manned cosmetic kiosk. Besides selling makeup, it also provides basic options for body writing (e.g. body paint and non-toxic markers/pens) and items to superficially disguise one's appearance (e.g. cheap party/masquerade masks and wigs). Supply is limited but does change up weekly so there's always something new to look forward to. Queen Me! is a gaming café for board games and card games, including Gwent, Dungeonwalks & Dragonqueens, Stripped Magic Battle, and more. It will be open in a quieter area of the entertainment district. Once a month sexy strip Campaigns happen. What does that mean? Who knows, the robots make up something new every time. CURLY CUBES MAKEOVER SALON | A styling salon is now open for business! Or would be if it had any staff. Two chairs and hairdryers, but one of the chairs comes with handcuffs and a dildo attached. Maybe you’ll convince a nearby robot to come take care of you in the shop, but who knows what style they might come up with... THE DIVE | The robot-staffed bar has been newly upgraded to suit the Island's luxurious atmosphere. Free drinks if you do a karaoke performance! The karaoke machine inspires emotion based on the song being sung. THE CORNER STORE | A convenience store that sells life's small pleasures: cigarettes, alcohol, single can cat food, pervertibles... Other items may be carried at random times. TUG-TUG BOATHOUSE | The boathouse is stocked with water crafts, such as paddleboats, surfboards, and a slightly larger rowboat that can fit up to five people. The rowboat will be available for traveling to and from the dock at the beach and another dock close to the Shame A Long House resort. STREET FOOD KIOSKS | Robot-manned food kiosks from various cultures and worlds will show up randomly throughout the city. That is not to say these foods do not have any effects as sometimes the robots may add a little extra to them. You are what you eat after all. SHAME A LONG HOUSE HOT SPRINGS RESORT | WELCOME TO THE SHAME A LONG HOUSE. Robots will provide various attire for comfort and insist that visitors take advantage of all the possible amenities of the hot springs! Only the non-transformational hot springs are available, but their effects are still active. PAOLO’S BAR | Formerly run by Bruno Bucciarati. It is a lowkey stand bar on the beach for your parched needs. MIDNIGHT HOTEL | A mysterious underwater hotel grants absolute privacy for your every need. Those who seek to explore darker kinks can enter the Midnight Hotel and find rooms filled with items to scratch any itch. You will be given a keycard to open a room and to enter inside is to agree to the contract of that key. No one may exit the room until a darker kink square on your card is completed. But do not worry, each room is designed to cater to exactly what you need to fulfill those squares, in whatever way that may be. The Midnight Hotel is also subject to changes by the Augur and its robot denizens, ever seeking to find new ways to fulfill its goals and encourage completion of Auspicious Acts. SIX FLAGELLANTS | Welcome, one and all, to a thrilling new location! Robots have worked tirelessly to build, from the ground up, what can only be recognizable as an amusement park. You are just in time for the grand opening of Six Flagellants: Great Advagtures! The Ferris Wheel routinely stops when lovebirds reach the top, waiting for a kiss - or something more daring! - before it starts up again. Robots warn of the scary Haunted House: a dark building with wall-to-wall creeps, and hot and cold running chills. Flickering ghosts roam the halls, and you may find an eerily realistic Headless Horseman -- who bids you, "Come closer. Give me head," while pointing to yours. Hey, get your mind out of the... Nevermind. The Carousel is a two-story affair. Nude figures with familiar faces lounge about, waiting to be ridden, and closer inspection proves that they have the faces of your fellow islanders. Hop on your favorite person and take them for a spin! There are even Bumper Cars, which have the interesting effect of making one feel more aroused with every bump and impact. (It's randomized each time, so don't try to guess based on car color!) What should be a similar ride, the Teacups, has the robots' madness written all over it instead. They have misunderstood the gentle spin-cycles for dangerous, dizzying loop-the-loops across a wide track. Some would swear that the ride has a supernatural invocation for fear. Others are simply man enough to admit they're afraid. The Tunnel of Love is not what you expect. Although flavored lube and guides to cunnilingus are on each fleshy-log-shaped boat, the motion of the ocean is quite soothing, and there's a pleasant floral scent in the air that causes a light intoxication. Two newer additions to the park are the Hall of Mirrors where people will see very distorted (but often sexual and provocative versions of themselves) that somehow have less clothing on them than the you do yourself. And the viewers' tent to watch the awe-inspiring prowess of the Great Be@stm@ster! With a sound of their whistle or crack of their whip, the Be@stm@ster can tame any beast to their will to do many tricks and feats...including volunteers from the audience. And if asked nicely enough, maybe they'll allow special guests to test out their whip, trying their own hand at beast-taming. And then there is the new waterpark! The Watersports Funtime Zone is a large water park with splashing rides and rollercoasters, a wading pool of cooling and arousing waters, the Rainbow Power Sprinkler Run that leaves visitors covered in dyes that just so happen to be deliciously edible, and the Streak And Shine nude waterslide! You will be liberally lubed down by a robot attendant (or helper of your choice) before enjoying the speed and pleasure of the twists and turns of the rushing slide. Don't forget to try the food! Similar to the Street Kiosks, there's a ton of faire food: cotton candy, corn dogs, and the like. Mascot outfits are available and those who wear them will be rewarded generously with credits. Two toy machines will be just outside of the amusement park. One of these will have miniature figurines of items or people from characters' home worlds. The other machine will have green figurines of other characters in the game! Naked figurines. In extremely sexualized poses poses that emphasize their physical assets. LAID BARE MASSAGE & SPA | There is a new addition to the scenery at the beach, and everyone is welcome! Especially new arrivals, who will be ushered to the recently-established Laid Bare Spa, where (provided they don't slip away from the bots' helpful grasp) their uncomfortably wet, sandy clothing will be stripped away and they will be lovingly pampered by the cold metal hands of the resident robots. Long-time Islanders and newbies alike are welcome to enjoy such amenities as hot and cold baths, sauna rooms, scrub-downs, thorough whippings with birch brooms, skin treatments, massage and energy work, and more! All rooms are thoughtfully decorated with tasteful murals of naked and disrobing bodies. Maybe you'll see someone you recognize?! (Maybe you'll see... you?) Islanders who happen to find their clothing mysteriously missing are welcome to borrow a Laid Bare branded towel to cover up with on their way home. LOUDINUS OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER | Remain on the trolley until the last stop, and Islanders will find themselves at the open amphitheater just in time to witness a troupe of robots acting out a traditional play of the ancients! (That's strange, how did they know you were coming?) No matter what the play is, the 'bots sure don't skimp on the sex scenes. Nor are they stingy with their famous (aphro-laced) popcorn! Just a few credits will net a buttery bag of deliciousness that never empties for as long as it remains within the amphitheater area. Why not share it with a friend, or a stranger? 🞃 player-run locationsSHARE YOUR PLAYER-RUN LOCATIONS IN A COMMENT BELOW | Players can request businesses or the tools and supplies to start their own business through Augur Reward Requests. Requesting basic supplies and a building is usually one-square request. All Player-run businesses will be posted in comments below. If you used an Augur Request to bring a business to the game, you have the option of taking on the business to be run by your character.

The Erku Chocobo Stables
Run By: Eskel |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic: Located in a quiet part of the city, the stables maintain a simple but polished rustic aesthetic inside and out. It's been spruced up and upgraded into a solid, trusty structure. The scent of wood and hay, earth and oats is in the air. Perhaps it seems old-fashioned by comparison, but that's a part of its charm. Besides, the animals are happy with it.
Business Set Up: The stables provide chocobos for transportation and recreation, as well as housing for individual's steeds. There's a riding/racing trail, a nursery, and an infirmary, all for caring for your beloved beasts.
INFO POST: Here
Mei Mei (玫莓) Maid Café
Run By: Xiao Xingchen |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic:
Within the city, tables and chairs have been set outside a small building. The facade's black and white design is cute in a tidy kind of way. A few potted plants decorate the front, flower-dotted vines crawling up a trellis. [general outside idea]
Inside, the seating is arranged for ease of getting around in the relatively small space. The atmosphere is definitely aiming for being cute, soft, and lively. [interior setup, more or less]
However, a couple of times a week, the aesthetic will suddenly change into something new. Sometimes it may be decorated in the style of mysterious dark academia, bubbly pastels, raunchy erotic designs, or it might even become something utterly bizarre. Naturally, the maid outfits change along with it.
Business Set Up:
Service: Pastries, drinks (including champagne), and other sweets, served by sweet, attentive, and frilly maids. Note that not all the maids might be that sweet. Or attentive. But definitely cute and frilly.
There are a number of items and special foods within that have peculiar effects, which can be found detailed in the info link below.
Payment: Credits, but if you don't mind putting on the uniform for a day, other plans can be arranged.
Availability: Open to the public, breakfast to lunch. Occasionally, things will happen after hours.
Advertising: Aside from handwaved occasional network posting, maids go about handing out napkin packages with the business' name on nearby street corners. They also have a Augurnet webpage with maid selfies, images of menu items, and updates about some of the changes to the interior.

Dick and Boobs Shop
source
Run By: Xue Yang |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic: Located within the city. From the outside, it's a pair of two conjoined unassuming low buildings, one with a large sign declaring the name of the shop.
- The main building has dense rows full of shelves of sexual products, packed close enough that two people can walk an aisle side-by-side but a third might have trouble passing them. The lighting is a little bit dim but still plenty bright to see things by. Very loosely based on here (nsfw).
- The secondary building is a sex dungeon, with many fewer items spaced out much better for active use. There is a large bed in the center of the room with everything else positioned around it. The lighting is even dimmer here to set the mood.
Business Set Up: Try-before-you-buy sex shop. It has all manner of sex toys and some dungeon products, though if you are looking for specifics you can check the info post below. Xue Yang occasionally advertises it on the network. He accepts either credits or bartering, with sex being a very acceptable method of payment. Hours are very scattered since he isn't particularly serious about the place and runs the shop alone, though if someone reaches out to request it he will open it for them. Since he's always present whenever it's open and is
hornynosy, I'd like to be involved in any threads that take place in either the shop or the dungeon. If there's no recent post related to the shop, feel free to reach out OOC or set up something in my inbox.INFO POST: Here!
Aphrodite's Temple
Run By: Aphrodite |
Robot Staff: Yes. Just a cleaning crew that comes through to keep things looking pretty. Mods are free to use this space for events.
Description/Aesthetic: The Temple of Aphrodite is located on a cape overlooking the sea. A beautiful structure both on the inside and out, the temple serves not only as Aphrodite's home, but a place that other islanders can come and indulge in the lavish surroundings for an evening. A semi-private garden features a topless statue of the goddess herself, and the temple features rooms both intimately private, and big enough to house an immodest orgy, all decorated with cushions, rugs, and lounge chairs to maximize comfort. Maybe it's aphrodesiacs in the air, or just the beauty of the surroundings speaking to you, but every corner looks like the perfect place to make love to that special someone. Aphrodite promises she won't peek.
Inexplicably, there always seems to be rose pedals scattered all over the property.
Business Set Up: Functionally it is just a large pretty location that Aphrodite lives that is open to the public to come visit/worship/have sex with each other. There's no need to plot with me to use her temple in any threads, go wild! (Just don't cause any irreparable damage to it)
INFO POST: Here
The (mini) Colosseum
Artist Credit
Run By: Robot Staff (created by Aphrodite) |
Robot Staff: Yes
Description/Aesthetic: Located farther from most other structures at the foot of a mountain range. This modest sized, stone ampitheater is simple in design. Rows of seats surround a circular field of dirt, enclosed on all sides. The purpose of this location is readily apparent from the selection of weapons that line the entry into the arena. Don't worry, most of the weapons are blunted (as well as some more... suggestively shaped options.) so you probably won't get hurt too badly! For those less battle inclined, there are also a number of heavy weights and balls suitable for training and sport. Don't mind the large, iron bars at the back of the pit nor the monstrous noises coming from behind them.
Inside the arena are a few private chambers with a bed and a wooden tub that are ideal for washing off and licking your wounds. None of it is overly fancy but there's a rugged, warrior aesthetic to the whole place. It's solidly built and situated far enough from the rest of the island that any of the over-powered types can unleash their worst without worrying too much about collateral damage.
Business Set Up: A fighting/training arena. This location is open to anyone using it however they like, ideal for getting some good hurt/comfort action in. For those that don't feel like doing PVP there are a number of robots available for characters to fight and the potential for monster battles. Inside the cage is a collection of arachasae ready to be unleashed and fought.
The Tattoo Parlour
Run By: Akira |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic: Located centrally in the Nameless City, the Tattoo Parlour consists of two rooms on the second floor of a smaller vine-covered building. There are no exterior decorations and the painted sign on the tinted glass window is partially obscured by plant-life. The interior is mostly done in a warm monochrome palette with minimalist decor. In the waiting room, tall narrow metal lockers contain body jewelry displays and tattoo art albums to sift through. The second room houses a black leather chair and the tattoo equipment and inks in a rolling tool cart.
Business Set Up: Contrary to a traditional tattoo/piercing shop, the Tattoo Parlour primarily operates on a rental model. Islanders can rent the space for a time to practice their tattoo and piercing skills with the equipment available. Sex on the premises is permitted and encouraged. Payment is accepted in credits, but other deals can be arranged upon request. The space is available by private rental only and therefore does not have public operating hours.
INFO POST: more info here
Pizza Slut
Run By: Lelouch vi Britannia |
Robot Staff: Yes, by these animatronic cheese curds.
Description/Aesthetic: Found some ways into the city, the pizzeria is easily recognized by its distinctly vibrant red roof. It has beige, gray, and gold paneling, one wall that looks convincingly made of maroon brick, complete with a few windows and a set of double doors. There are some art deco influences, but it's made up like any mainstream, by-the-numbers restaurant with the inclusion of seating, tables, (unused) breakroom and bathroom, and a multimedia section. The cutlery and furniture are distinctly modern. The entire exterior of the building is shuttered down by metal on the rare occasion that the place needs to be renovated. For some inexplicable reason, the restaurant's name rhymes with Pizza Hut.
Business Set Up: It's a pizzeria that serves pizzas. That's about the long and short of it. Refreshments are also included (not free of charge). Since it's primarily robot-run, it's open to the general public, runs 24/7, and takes credits as its typical currency. Thanks to its de facto but incredibly negligent owner, all of the menu items are just a touch too pricy. The robots will probably serenade you and/or put on a show if requested, though.
No permission needed to use this location in a thread, do as you like.
Skin Contact
image source
Run By: Shi Qingxuan |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic: Found in the city, Skin Contact is illuminated with the softest hues of pink, blue and yellow neon-fluorescent lights, bright with many mirrors that lines its many walls. It's on the softer side of candy-colored vaporwave style that would make Barbie proud.
Layout: 1 2
Aesthetic: 1 (source)
Business Set Up: Skin Contact provides clothing of generic modern street fashion. The selection will be up to date but also always less respectable and less formal than it can potentially be. This is not the place for your average business dress code, but do browse to your heart's content through hangers of form fitting shirts and crop tops. Customers can receive discounts for modeling the more salacious selections, whether to be photographed for display in the store or to lounge around and advertise the store and its wares. The store owner will be able to tailor clothes to perfect fit upon request, accommodating everything from different heights and builds to tails, horns, and other limbs.
Hours vary depending on Shi Qingxuan's availability. Styling appointments are also available but do vary, too, depending on Shi Qingxuan's availability. Sobriety is optional.

Scarify Me
Run By: Noiz |
Robot Staff: No
Description/Aesthetic: Located across the street from the Tattoo Parlor lies Scarify Me, a branding/scarification parlor. The storefront features a minimalist design with no windows, only a sign hanging above the front entrance by wrought iron. The sign reads 'Scarify Me' in carved script and features woodburning techniques in its design. There is an electronic security keypad for inputting an access code.
Inside are two rooms. The front lobby is well lit with white chairs and discreet wall art. The minimalist private parlor where the modding happens has chairs and a modest supply of equipment. This includes electrocautery tools, branding planchettes, and specialty scalpels. Since the shop is brand new, it only has a small selection of premade designs for transferring onto bodies. Other supplies include disinfectant, autoclaves, gloves, saran wrap, forceps, etc.
Business Set Up: The business does not have regular operating hours and is only open by appointment or on a rental basis. Customers who wish to rent the space for their own body modding purposes may do so for a modest fee. If they so choose, Noiz is available to perform the branding and/or scarification himself by appointment only. Acceptable forms of payment are credits, food, items of value, completing a square, etc. So long there is something for Noiz to obtain, he is open to negotiation. Sex is permitted on the premises, provided the clients clean up after themselves. All customers are expected to acknowledge that the body mods performed here take a while to heal, and that they are responsible for caring for their wounds themselves and preventing infection.

Erku's Community Pantry
Run By: Peter Quill (+ other occasional volunteers) |
Robot Staff: Yes, please! The idea is that he robots would help with the storing, cleaning, and moving supplies around. But If any of them tries to mess with the supplies, add aphro foods or drinks into the mix, Peter would be pissed and punt them into the sun.
Description/Aesthetic:
The Community Pantry building can be found close to the city center. It's a big warehouse-like building with a storefront sign that read 'Erku's Community Pantry', with two different A-frame signs by the door.
The first sign explains that the Community Pantry is a nonprofit Islanders-run initiative that provides free food to anyone who needs it, and that it works on donations with the help of different volunteers. The other sign lists the available home-cooked meals of the day and what are the fruits/vegetables of the season.
The building is organized in different aisles, with labels on (almost) all the packaged food, listing the allergens. There are also two industrial refrigerators containing fresh fish/meat, and a small assortment of homemade alcoholic beverages: vodka, wine, and beer. All the food and drinks are non-aphrodisiac and free of any strange side effects The vodka is most likely to give you a hell of a hangover if you drink too much, but that's on you, folks.
At the center of the warehouse, there's a small cafeteria-like area with a hot food counter and a baked goods display. There are simple lunch boxes for those who cannot cook or need things more immediately. It's not a super fancy place, but there's obvious care put into the project.
Business Set Up:
The Community Pantry it's a reliable place to go to get food supplies with no weird side effects, like aphrodisiacs or accidental truth serums. It's available to everyone and it's open 7 days a week: those who can't or don't want to do what the A5 cards demand to survive, or for people who are new and are still getting used to living in a sex island.
The pantry works on donations. Chars who have rewards they aren't using and want to help the project can exchange them for food and other improvements to the pantry. The idea is "Take as much as you need and donate whatever you can."

Persephone's Temple
Run By: Persephone |
Robot Staff: Yes, Robot staff to clean the Temple and the surrounding grounds.
Description/Aesthetic: The Temple of Persephone is located in the middle of a lush and verdant field, close to the forests. Why don't you come on in and make an offering to the Goddess of Spring in the middle of your travels? The Temple itself is a large building with beautiful vines and flowers filling across expensive marble. Floral and fruity scents fill the air along with the sound of buzzing bees as they make their journey to produce the most delicious honey. There are some lovely hidden alcoves as well as an inner pond. Feel free to find one and spend some time with your own 'honey'.
The back of the Temple has a set of suites that is Persephone's home away from home, with a kitchen and other amenities a goddess may need. It is off-limits to the public except for those that she allows inside. Though the scent of freshly baked goods fills the air.
Business Set Up: This is a large complex, where one can leave offerings for the goddess. Food for her (vegetarian please), or her dog Cerberus (he is a hungry pup), clothing or bolts of fabric, plants, and seeds are all acceptable offerings.
Feel free to explore the gardens, watch the flowers and the bees. Spend time with a lover, and have fun.
There is no need to plot with her to use this as a location in your threads. As long as you don't destroy anything.

Immortal Plaza

Run By: Ming Yi |
Robot Staff: Yes
Description/Aesthetic: Immortal Plaza is in the gufeng/ancient Chinese fantasy style, though the Augur has given it some more modern amenities including bright electric lights. It spreads out a couple blocks to either side of a river that flows into the wetlands, though the plaza itself ends rather abruptly at its outermost edges. One can take a stroll along the water illuminated by lights, or enjoy the elaborate architecture, variety of trees, and colorful fish ponds that the plaza also has to offer.
Business Set Up:
The plaza contains:
- Inns - The Grand Phoenix Inn is more lavish with beautiful views, while the Maple Leaf Manor is more cozy and austere.
- Restaurant - In the Grand Phoenix Inn, Ming Yi runs Bright Moon Eatery, a family restaurant staffed by robots.
- Teahouse - The Cyan Bamboo Teahouse offers a calm, quiet reprieve.
- Brothel - Lingering Fragrance has robot staff ready to nudge islanders into new jobs.
- Shops - From street food to the arts to manuals for cultivation, have those credits ready.
