"But I got a question about rule one..." Most of their advice had made sense, and she only had something to ask about the first rule: "I get why falling in love is a bad idea for both sides, it's more trouble than it's worth, but what if it's a client powerful or rich enough to make it worth it... but that's too remote to worry about practically, like getting a royal flush, I guess?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Perhaps, although we tend to be a cautious lot," Serndi said. "The story of the 'Red Mage' is a common cautionary tale. On a night long ago, a mage disguised as a noble used magic to disguise pieces of rocks as gold coins. He purchased a working girl, and the pimp was all too eager to sell her without checking the authenticity. the girl was ecstatic, for her new master seemed powerful and privileged, and indeed he was. But when his ruse was found out, the pimp came to retrieve the girl out in the desert. He found the Red Mage standing over her body, bite marks in her neck. She rose as a vampire, and they both fed on the now-dead pimp. She was now a thrall, denied both freedom and death."<br/><br/>"The moral of the story is, don't be too quick to rush after money," Lista said. "I know that not all working girls are in this voluntarily, but Lady Awan...she doesn't want any of us to become one of those lost girls. There are many wicked nobles who would gladly purchase slaves, only to subject them to terrible fates."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Hey, Muni, what do you think of Haruka and Miyako's job? 200 gold pieces will cut off a fifth of the debt and our time here - or even more, if we're being charged interest on the outstanding balance. But we need experience, and that means... that means giving up our pride, and doing... doing whatever it takes. To be honest with ourselves, it'll happen sooner or later... at least this way, we'll get the most out of it." It was as much to convince herself as her sister. "Anyways, I was thinking we should talk to Haruka and Miyako tomorrow to see if we can't reserve the job, and then I'll talk to Lady Awan about... getting the experience we'll need... before the deadline."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"It's a good idea," Munira said. "And if we don't seize it now, then someone else will. Let's see them again tomorrow."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">Making Reservations</span></span></div><br/>The Lion Hotel had good accommodations like the ones the marid stayed at, but it had a more unique design: imagery of vast savannas decorated the walls from floor to ceiling, miniature statues of bronze lions decorated the tables and booths. Closer inspection revealed that the mouths of each one ejected small paper slips bearing numbers upon them.<br/><br/>Haruka and Miyako were in flowing robes designed with blue floral patterns all over. The sisters were busy staring at a strange piece of abstract art on the wall with the vague outline of a face surrounded by streaks of color, cubes, and triangles. They both were too engrossed in the visual art to notice Neferi and Munira.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception DC 30</div><div class="spoiler_body">Neferi fully comprehends the painting. It's meant to symbolize the fragility of life and the uniqueness of every living being. Every day in this world, a treasured soul is lost so that others may live.</div></div><br/>"Ummm, hello there Haruka, Miyako," Munira said. "We got your noti-"<br/><br/>Miyako gave a slight jump as though forcefully woken from a deep sleep. "Ah, sorry, I didn't notice you there! Hey, didn't expect to see you two so soon!"<br/><br/>Her familiar smile returned to the sorceress' face. Haruka's was stoic, little different than the time she was admiring the painting. "Hmm, didn't expect you both to answer the summons; Miyako, did you place the flyers in the correct places?"<br/><br/>"Yeah," Miyako answered. "Massage parlors, bathhouses..."<br/><br/>She made air quotes after the naming of each establishment. "But, I suppose you two are fine...errr, do you know what we're hiring for?"<br/><br/>Munira nodded. "Courtesans to provide entertainment for male desires and companionship. We were wondering if we could put it on reserve, if that's possible."<br/><br/>"We can do that," Haruka said, "but I'm afraid that our job is not that simple. Are you familiar with the concept of 'kenjataimu?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Knowledge Local DC 25</div><div class="spoiler_body">Neferi remembers in the estate's library reading about the continent of Tian Xia. In the kindgom of Shokuro, the people had a word for the state after orgasm where a man becomes clear-headed and is no longer impaired by lustful urges.<br/><br/>"That's correct!" Haruka explained with an impressed smile.</div></div><br/>"As merchants we've discovered that many men can get distracted and perform rash actions with the promise of sex," Haruka continued. "Even among wealthy and veteran traders, a beautiful woman's promises can manipulate them into a price less favorable for them."<br/><br/>"So you want us to tempt some men into a rash financial deal?" Munira asked, sounding uncomfortable with the idea.<br/><br/>"No, not at all!" Miyako said. "Just the opposite in fact."<br/><br/>As though on cue, she conjured an image of several Chelish woman. Pale skin, red hair, clad in revealing black dresses, they were the spitting image of northern infernal beauty.<br/><br/>"The Empire of Cheliax conquered much territory over the last twenty years. After the process of invasion, they set their sights on exploiting the resources and markets of subjugated territories. The Sirens of Hell are a particularly savvy consortium who use their looks and wits to get what they want. They plan on negotiating an exclusive with some members of the Pathfinder Society, and we want them clear-headed and free of temptation in the forthcoming meeting."<br/><br/>"Ah, I see where you're going with this..." Munira said as she stroked her chin.<br/><br/>"We're gonna give the Pathfinder Lodge a night to remember," Miyako exclaimed excitedly, "but the two of us can only handle so many admirers, if you know what I mean. We'd like some hired help to back us up."<br/><br/>"Two hundred gold, one night, that works for us," Munira said. "It's a done deal!"<br/><br/>"Great," Haruka said as she shook both her and Neferi's hands. "It won't be until week's end, so you have four days to prepare. You can meet us back here, but in the meanwhile we might need to shop around for some proper attire the day before. You're welcome to come along."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">More Experience</span></span></div><br/><em>More experience? My, and here I thought you'd need further adjusting,</em>Lady Awan said.<em>But who am I to refuse the wishes of such an eager apprentice?</em><br/><br/>Neferi was staring down the length of a thick dark shaft.<br/><br/>"Grip the shaft in one hand," instructed the blue-haired catgirl. "Stick out your tongue, move down, wrap your lips around it..."<br/><br/>Obeying, she leaned in closer...<br/><br/>"Good! Now tongue the head, move up and down slowly, let his hand guide your movements..."<br/><br/>The marid could feel the sensation of throbbing life in her mouth. Tabansi's manhood tasted surprisingly neutral; it wasn't acrid nor was it sweet, the bush of pubic hair lacking any significant odor. It was too long for her to fully take in, and the hand upon her head was gentle, pushing her down slightly as she came up yet not so much that he'd trigger her gag reflex. Eventually, after much fondling of the balls and licking the shaft and head, Neferi noticed that telltale sign of oncoming orgasm Rosbul told her about.<br/><br/>"Let him finish in your mouth!" the catgirl roared. "Try and maintain your composure, but just in case..."<br/><br/>She pulled several tissues out to hand to Neferi. Tabansi's hand was no longer on her head, allowing her to withdraw if necessary.<br/><br/><em>Roll a DC 13 Fortitude Save. On a success, Neferi keeps her composure and swallows the load. On a failure, she gags and the cum spills out of her mouth, needing to clean herself up with the tissues.</em><br/><br/><br/>...<br/><br/><br/>"The blowjob is one of the most powerful weapon in a masseuse's arsenal," the instructor said as she pointed a finger up in salute. "Perhaps just as important as the handjob! Use it well, and you'll be guaranteed more tips; in time, it will come naturally to you, and in time you'll learn the vaunted deep throat technique."<br/><br/>"One word of caution, though; not all penises will be as nice as Tabansi's. Be sure to apply extra oils during the handjob phase to get rid of any unwanted tastes!"<br/><br/><strong>Sex Perk: The Almighty Blowjob:</strong>Neferi can perform a DC 13 Fortitude save as part of her Perform (Sex) duties, representing her oral sex techniques that day.

Unlike the three or four handled during the first two days she's expected to handle as many as ten a day, only getting the rare break after every four clients. There was too little time to do herbalist duties as a side job, but thanks to her accumulated materials she had on hand high-quality lotions, oils, and scented candles to help the mood.<br/><br/>And again the middle-aged man returned, her first real regular client.<br/><br/>"I've been thinking of several answers as to your nature," he said. "I considered other magical disciplines, but judging by your appearance I think it's more...innate. Your mother was a mermaid who fell in love with a man, but I take it he was no ordinary man. After much thought, I believe I have the answer."<br/><br/>He leaned over to whisper into her ear, happy to share in this 'secret' with her.. "You are half-mermaid, half-genie," he whispered.<br/><br/><em>Roll 3 Perform Sex checks (and Fortitude saves if using blowjobs), representing the results of each day of work.
