The city of Cheawold was a rather prosperous city.  A port town in the wooded north, it was two sides forest, one side river, and one side ocean, being right at the ending mouth leading into the ocean.  Across the river was a small village by the name of Neathy, mostly farming land carved out of the nearby woodlands with years of work and tilling of the land, both cities covered on at least two sides by high stone walls courtesy of Cheawold's Tower Wizards, the closest thing to a wizard's academy within several hundred miles, though there was a decently sized academy located in the city center, as if the city had been built up around it.  With a merchant's district, the port, and various housing, service, trade, and administrative districts, the city was large enough to have most anything one might need, barring the truly extravagant.<br/><br/>In the middle of the merchant's district stood a three-story stone and wood building, with the name 'Mew Mew Valyer' on a sign atop it.  None as one of 'those shops,' the type strangely placed away from the red-light areas off in a further-away district closer to the gate of the city, or dotting the port area.  It had an... interesting reputation to be sure, as much for the contents as for the owner and her 'pet'.  The first floor was the storefront in front, with the kitchen located in back with the oven built into the first floor, the second floor being living and bathing quarters in addition to a workshop for the floor below.  The third floor... well... nobody really talked about what was up there, but it was also rumored that the place had a basement too, with a 'natural' hotspring located in it, and lord knows what else, but nobody really knows for sure about it...<br/><br/>It's currently the slow period of lunch, where even the merchant district is slowing down for a time, though the shop was surprisingly busy earlier, actually made some good sales!  The scent of cooking meats and spices filled the shop from the kitchen, as a tall, big-breasted woman in a black-and-white maid outfit hummed a tune and cooked, her skirt nearly leaving her ass exposed for all to see, but clearly not caring a whole lot about such modesty.<br/><br/>As for the owner of the fine establishment...
