[For Alaric Melbourne]
Things couldn't be going any smoother. Already The Treasure Trove had started picking up business that it simply hadn't when it had been The House of the Blessed. Perhaps people were too turned off by the fact that it had been located in an abandoned church. When Peter had taken over the business he had moved locations entirely, closer to the center of town though, being a brothel, still off the beaten path.
The interior was far more luxurious and even the poorest folks, assuming they could still afford to pay for food and drinks of course, would feel like royalty when they entered. Roscoe stood just inside the door, ready to welcome any guests but also let them know simply with his presence that foolery would not be tolerated. Still, he smiled while also flexing those giant muscles of his.
Peter was busy making sure that everything would be ready for the evening crowd. The stage was being set up for the first performance that would start in about 20 minutes. Ruby and Cobalt were on stage, trying to keep their argument subtle as they worked on setting up the stage. The two of them butted heads more than any of the other Treasures. Onyx, dressed entirely in black with leather straps today, made a joke and was laughing loudly on one of the sofas with Opal who was blushing and hiding behind her hands as she chuckled softly.
Glitter was chatting it up with Jewel and Topaz at the bar, both of which were fully engaged with smiles in the conversation. Glitter easily brought out people's best moods. Lafayette could be heard singing from the kitchen while Abner wandered around the room in slow circles, observing everyone. Jade was busy flirting with a guest who had lingered from earlier in the day and the man was clearly struggling to keep his hands to himself at the scantily clad woman. She was sure she'd have him up in a private room within the hour at the very latest.
