“No, no questions.  You seem to have that aspect of the business well in hand.”  Rayne was getting excited with the prospect of opening their own side business together.  It was serendipitous to have this opportunity just fall in their laps and with no other casinos as competition, they had a chance to make it big.  “Alright, let’s get the ball rolling.  First things we need to do are get this place cleaned up and make arrangements with a lender and the carpenter guild.  I don’t mind staying behind to clean since the other two things tend to be a little more on the negotiation side of things.” The wizard did a once over to figure out about how much the project should cost.  (Appraise check) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=26924)<br/><br/>“If nothing else, you could always try to cut some sort of deal with the guild.  Something like discounted drinks at the bar would help bring in customers while also provide some padding for the initial hit on our budget.  It’s a win-win since the potential money at the bar is likely to be made up for on the betting tables.”<br/><br/>He took a moment to survey the mess around the room and realized the amount of work set before him.  Placing a hand at the back of his head, feeling a bit bashful about the afterthought.  “It’d probably be safest if at least two went out to take care of those errands, but I certainly wouldn’t argue to a bit of help around here.”  Rayne half expected the room to clear out at the prospect of helping him clean rather than going out about town.  Sure enough, the others wasted little time in getting ready for a trip outside and promptly left the wizard to his volunteered assignment.  Rayne let out a sigh and mumbled to himself.  “You did ask for it.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The next few hours, Rayne spent wrist deep in trash and other such messes that are best not identified.  Fortunately he had his spell to clean the areas where the sight alone made his shudder with unease.  He was baffled by the sheer number of panties that had been left behind; it was enough to make him wonder if anybody from the night before had bothered to retrieve them on their way out.  After a moment of consideration, he realized that he probably would have done the same rather than risk putting on underwear that could have belonged to another.  He had even managed to skim the various items in the pool, both sunken and idly floating.<br/><br/>There was a sense of relief so great once he had taken all of the trash from the house and dumped it into the sewer that it practically was a physical weight lifted from his shoulders.  Rayne glared at the junk as it washed away as if threatening it malice should it decide to return.  Between his effort of removing the clutter and his magic doing the finer spot cleaning, the place was all but immaculate.  Save for the wizard who now felt a certain level of empathy for what the room had suffered through.  He wasn’t covered head to toe in filth by any means, but he could not shake the feeling of just being dirty as a result of the task he had just completed.  “I need a bath…”<br/><br/>His eyes drift to the building across the street, the signage out front advertising it as a bathhouse.  It had been a temptation from the moment he first looked upon it, but now he had just cause for enjoying their services.  Rayne locked up their place and walked across the street, doing his best to restrain the excitement that was beginning to boil up inside of him.  He stepped into the bathhouse and was cheerfully greeted by a pair of twins, the beauty of who caused his mind to wander into thoughts that were more carnal in nature.  “Hello,” He said with a smile, “My name is Rayne and I’m from the place across the street. I am interested in partaking of your fine services, may I ask as to what all you offer here?”
