CherriesInBrandy: Summer was waning, in theory, but it was still hot as hell, in Pepper's opinion. She had been anticipating a balmy ending to the season, tampering with grace into Autumn. Only Summer was not going quietly. No, it was sweltering, obliging Pepper to fight with nine months of grime caking the windows to get them open the few stingy inches the rust allowed. This provided some air circulation to the narrow shop sandwiched between a taxidermist and an abandoned butchers. A faint breezier stirred the iron and wood sign of 'Magda's Potions' so it creaked eerily- or perhaps irritatingly. In winter it would have been eerie. Inside the shop it was somewhat cooler, being that it was dark and shadowy. The few shafts of sunlight illuminated the dusty contents of the tall shelves which occupied the front section of the store. No potions; those had to be made to order, lest they loose potency. Instead there were the ingrediants and merchandise for potion making and miscellaneous alchemy and magical pursuit; dried plants, empty bottles, talisman, stone idols, carved fertility wands, powdered hens teeth, dragon scales and such. Further into the store one found a circular marble topped counter fitted with a preparation center where the potions were mixed. In the elft corner were bulk items in barrels and baskets. To the right? Books, cauldrons and other large items. The Proprietress was there, too. Lying stretched out on the floor.
JunesTemptation: Madame June, the owner of the Bordello on a small island that if asked she'd merely never speak of. Her eyes looked down to that basket. She disliked mainland. She knew though it was something she had to go through to get supplies. She'd dressed according the styles of the main land woman liked to cover up and though she wasnt exactly a stranger to prim and proper she wasn't going to give a word about who and where she was from. Her smile remained on her lips with each pass of strangers, she had two hours before her ship would leave port and yes.. this was a business trip. She knew about it or at least heard Of it. A little shop that would hopefully help her out just a tad. Entering the shop she tugged up that basket, filled with goods she'd purchased along the way, and even a bit of personal items for herself. Her hair was tied up and laced with not only pins but the fine weave and wig that made it twice higher then it really was. Her eyes finally began to look around from a shifted left to right. It wasnt one more step forward until she saw the sprawl of arms and legs. Pausing mid-step to the unusual scene... "Hel..lo..? " [d]
CherriesInBrandy: Pepper was dressed in a fairly common assortment of skirts, and fine shawls and bits of this and that she fancied wrapped around her middle. A plump girl, with an hour-glass figure cinched tight in a chocolate brown corset. The blouse she'd coupled it with rather modestly swathed the figure in a social class accostomed to advertising the physical attributes. The only concession she had made to the heat was to peel off the mismatched socks and leave them, like abandoned snake skins on the floor. She wasn't dead at least, for the ehad rolled the Madame's direction. Pepper had a round face, with round features that was rather common garden. Her hair was so blond it was nearly white, gathered messily into a tortoise shell comb. Sweat stuck at her front and flecked her brow. "I am not yet dead. Were I, the smell would be five times as worse than the stink of fish blown in from the docks." Said she, voice laden with something close to sarcasm...if only she could have gotten the energy to be biting. Lailac toned eyes flipped up and down the woman. She didn't recognize her, and Pepper had an eye for people- still, better not to offend someone of a mor significant standing, so Pepper heaved herself to her feet, coming to five foot two inches precisely. She looked moderalty attentive to satisfying Madame's demands.
JunesTemptation: Her eyes were a blue but in a moment had seemed far more musky and dark due to the surprised look on her face. She didnt like the way she was being spoken to as far as anyone knew she was wealthy, and of course she was. Her expression however lacked the softer curves that this Pepper had. A woman and no girl she wore the years of her life in everything about her. It was yes extremely hot for the time of year and between her and Pepper there was the bit of knowing that would have been her undressed and willing to catch a breeze. Yet, was that what she was doing? Unsure so she avoided asking better not to pry and get the use of idle conversation. "Quite. Well now I need the following items." Her hand slipping into her basket and handing her a thin parchment written in her own hand that made the components of be-ridding oneself of pregnancy. "A friend of mine has a problem to be taken care of." True story. Her girls were getting a little careless and after a beating and and compensation she was now fixing the situation. "I need a good amount now. If you able to oblige me if not.." She felt her brow growing harder, yes she was used to be in charge her tone was almost like nobility and yet she was nothing of the sort under her skirts she still could feel the cool pistol packed and loaded for a shot. The dagger neatly sheathed between her breasts. -d
CherriesInBrandy: Pepper was surly, unpleasant and a few other uncomplementary adjectives, but she knew her job, and she knew it backwards and forwards. She knew what the applied components created; as evidence by the slant in a brow so pale it was nearly invisible beside her peaches and cream skin. She stuck her tongue at the back of ehr teeth in her mouth and contemplated how to address the issue..."Instead of the yew, some willow bark does the same trick, without the cramps and vomiting," She said cautiously...The locale magistrate knew she was mixing up such 'hideous concotions' to aide 'Moral-less Harlots' and had given her several threats. Of course, since he looked the other direction when it came to paternal claims, Pepper didn't feel the elast guilt in breaking the law. Bare feet padded about her store as she gathered the items that would be required in mixing such a tonic. Quick, efficiant. Smelled sort of like girl-sweat, woodsmoke and rosemary. "You want I should mix this?" She asked when all and sundry was assembled. She was beginning to suspect who this very regal person was. One didn't dart over the line of elgality and not learn of other immoral activities occuring locally. Not that you'd know Pepper was ahving any ponderings. She was basically brusque to everyone...and ehr face was like a stone wall.
JunesTemptation: Morals were just as good as assecories your wore them for show. She smiled a bit.. and interjected on her suggestion to change the prescription. "Oh no love I would indeed perfer the woman to be feel the discomfort. May it be a lesson to any one else who refuses to obey my rules." Slipped out a bit of her cruelty behind such a lovely face. She smiled at the lovely girl healthy by the looks of her men liked that. gangly looking woman meant poor health and possibly sickness. "And yes, I have a need for it quickly." She didnt mention that this woman who was doomed for this was already four months along and trying hard to keep her child. June could not have that in her brothel nor did she feel she had to let lose this woman from her contract. When you paid for some one it was only fair that they pay off the owed debt. She moved back from the woman, and began to look around, glancing at titles and such from books that had been in sight. She'd smiled lifting a small charms and spells book. "Witchery?" A plain question but that wasnt what she cared about flipping through the pages at the notion of a charms of love. Yes silly woman had always wanted to know if such things were possible. -d
CherriesInBrandy: "Purely scholastic." Pepper said in a tone that said 'who? me? Deal in the illicit? naaaw'. She had books on medicine, witchcraft, studies of heathen practices, a smattering of philosophy...and some other not on display stuff. That magistrate was nosey, afterall. She remained behind that circular counter, pulling various tools out to begin mixing the thick black sludge that could rid a woman of child. "I have a few Love Bands from the Orient," She added, referring to carved jade and ivory bands that went around the base of the penis to stave off erection. "Virility powder, too. Made from the cocks of tigers." Carefully measured out a powder from one jar...then pouding the goop with the pestle to make sure it was well combined. Apparently she was better stocked then you'd think. Probably she had to diversity to keep in business. She also had Chinese pillow books, chastity belts, a few fertility idols, and of course she could mix aprhodisaics..and get her hands on other off color items.
JunesTemptation: Any other woman would have left that shop, but she was not any woman. She had been listening all the while having a man in mind to test on. She was not cruel when it came to the idea merely curious about it. "Interesting." Was the only word she seemed to use. Her hand quickly swished that skirt away from her feet the boots of her were pointed and made from the finest stitch then once more covered from sight. "And there." Her blues intent on the back passage of the shop that was most likely off limits to people like her and others. She had many uses for such things but no skilled hand to make them herself. She made a mental note to remember the shop and with a look back to the antidote to Her problem this woman was still working on. "Please hurry deary I have to board ship and collect my girls" Yes it was clear now she wasnt hiding back that she was indeed a Madame all evidence pointed to it. She narrowed her eyes before looking at this woman. " What do you have for potent aphrodisiacs? Oysters are fine but rather unpleasant in smell." She didnt like eating them either! "Say something that would be lovely in scent but strong enough to lure some one." -d
