Les Escaliers de la Butte Sont durs aux Misereux

5-6; La Bohème
L'année est 1899 et les âmes d'une génération fêtent. Er, no maybe the year is something else. Well regardless of the year, the City has transformed to look like turn-of-the-century Paris during the Belle Époque. Corsets and can-cans tempt passersby into red light establishments and the green fairy offers a taste of special elixir to anyone who'll have her. Painters, writers, and musicians continue to hone their craft while searching for the perfect muse. Network devices might take on the appearance of the indispensable typewriter and voice posts may sound like they're coming from a phonograph. Whatever the case, the spirit of truth, beauty, freedom, and love is here and the show must go on. [The Deity Office will maintain the appearance of the elephant building throughout the curse. Afterward, on the 7th the Deity Office will remodel itself to look like this. Each tentacle tip is a laser. Yes, a laser.]

And herein is an organizational post to share fictionalized and temporary backstories for characters for the curse, plan out plots and situations and romances, and figure out who's tightening whose corset strings (no, no, no: control your own corset strings).

Please remember that the City has not turned into Paris (there's no Arc de Triomphe or Champs-Élysées, for example), but it will look like it--think of it as AU!Paris, if you will, like Moulin Rouge set in even more of a fairy tale city, exuding the spirit of the Belle Époque.

So for truth, beauty, freedom, and love and a hard-boiled egg, go forth!

Just a note here to say Saya is going to be Solomon's kept woman. Every supplier has to have one. Before Solomon paid his pretty price for her (namely the opium and ongoing medical care for the Master's ladies), she was part of the Master's brothel. So any of you lovely ladies that are part of his collective, feel free to recognize her/like her/be snooty at her for being kept/etc.

As such, she's going to do a whole lot of lounging when she isn't keeping Solomon company. Any of you other kept ladies want to be in her little circle, since you fashionable types won't hang out with her?

Ah... speaking of being in Solomon's company... >.> what kind of perks is he getting for having a former prostitute kept woman?

What a way for their relationship to advance... O.o

[liveontoday.livejournal.com]

Pfff, well, historically kept women were kept to be available for sexual relationships. So you pretty much get free reign here, Solomon. After all, you're the one paying her room and board and that's how the arrangement works. XDDD

Sure is an ice breaker, ain't it.

Solomon is a very happy man... >.>

Ffff, well now I'll have the mental image of Solomon going, ";w; T-thank you, Deities."

Lol~ yeah really! Of course the aftermath might be a bit... uncomfortable as Solomon will still want to continue the relationship. "We were meant to be together, Saya... even the deities seem to agree."

Ah poor Saya, she won't know what to do. A good while of jumping every time he comes in the room maybe.
