Cunningly placed drapes and divider screens allow a customer to select any level of privacy they desire and though light contact is allowed, full on sexual activity is actively discouraged and guests are escorted to areas more appropriate to their needs.<br/><br/>Wait staff of both sexes circulate to provide drinks, light foods, and any other items that might be desired with the exception of themselves; they are not permitted to engage in erotic or even flirtatious contact.<br/><br/>Brides and Grooms spend much of their time in this room, greeting clients both scheduled and those without appointments in hopes of securing a contract for their exquisite and highly sought after services.<br/><br/>From the Great Room there is direct access to:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Miscellaneous IC Threads</span><br/>The Bazaar<em>(the area outside the brothel)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266265.0)<br/>Behind the Curtain<em>(Staff business)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266388.0)<br/>Production Crew<em>(Staff Lounge)</em><br/>Dressing Room<em>(Bride/Groom Lounge)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266271.0)<br/><span class="bbc_u"><br/>Socializing Areas <em>(preludes to sexy times)</em></span><br/>Great Room (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266080.0)<br/>The Casbah<em>(The Restaurant/Bar)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266114.0)<br/><span class="bbc_u"><br/>Socializing Area (<em>sexy times can occur)</em></span><br/>The Oasis<em>(The Inner Courtyard &amp; Pool)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266116.0)<br/>Madame’s Delights<em>(BDSM Room/Dungeon)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266117.0)<br/>The Vestal Virgin<em>(More romantic/innocent themes)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266383.0)<br/>Magic of Mirrors<em>(for those who want to ‘perform’ for an audience / watch)</em>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266384.0)<br/><br/>Thus, the Great Room serves as a hub for access with most other rooms radiating off of it.  Recognizing that sometimes clients may not wish to traverse across the Great Room, Madame Celeste has secured, at no small expense, a system of magical portals that may be summoned by simply speaking one's wishes aloud.  However, security authorizes each request and will not allow someone to be transported to an area where they do not belong.
