Night at the Inferno

They headed back to the Pink Pitcher and the mood was relaxed, though John was slightly disappointed that Lady Orana and Raeva were no longer there, even if he could have only thanked them for the recommendation.

They stayed for a single drink before heading off to the next location. Keeping with the theme of nature, Robin led the couple to a venue close by. The exterior was similar to the Pink Pitcher; however, this location had an indicator that said it was between Pride and Gluttony.

Inside the building, the trio came to a clearing in a vineyard, woven willow walls kept the bar area separate from the rows of vines. The clearing was covered above by four pergolas, and the area had plenty of nicely set tables. Curiously, despite seeing several waiters walking the area, there was no bar.

They were quickly greeted by a young elvish boy. He seated the trio and served them a generous complimentary charcuterie board, which consisted of cheese, crackers, batonnet vegetables and an assortment of fresh and dried fruits.

The boy brought out several tasting bottles of wine which were made from the fresh fruits of the vineyard. The boy sat on the other side of the table to the trio and walked them through how they should be tasting the wine. He answered several questions from Ellie and John and was quite patient when they started asking about him and other elves. He would answer their questions but quite professionally steered the conversation back to the wine or the foods which were brought out to compliment the flavour of the drinks.

Their next stop was a karaoke bar. The street it was on looked like the images John had seen of Tokyo, and the inside of the bar looked just like the places he’d seen in anime. The three of them ordered some drinks, opting to try some of the Japanese non-alcoholic drinks they had on offer.

The three sang and made idiots of themselves but that just made them laugh harder. John felt much more comfortable singing and dancing around in the private room they had rather than what he knew as karaoke back home.

Still in the mood for music, the trio spent some time at a rock bar. It was what you might imagine if you thought of a biker bar, though quite a bit cleaner and with much less fighting. The stage wasn’t large and the band was already playing when they’d entered, so unfortunately they didn’t catch their name. While there, the band played some classics from Queen and a few other similar bands. The band's redheaded lead captivated John and Ellie, not just because she had a powerful voice and seemed to just explode with energy but because the girl was extremely attractive. Despite them wanting to continue to ogle, Robin had other ideas, dragging the two out to go to the next stop.

Walking through a large stone door, they found themselves in a large mead hall. The place reminded John of when he had met some of Hemet’s guild; that image was bolstered by the fact that John, Ellie and Robin were in the minority of being some of the very few people standing above a metre and a half.

Dwarves laughed, sang and cheered loudly all around them. The entire bar was bustling, and it would be difficult to be miserable in a place like this. Everyone was extremely friendly and the three were pulled onto one of the long tables, joining the rest of the patrons.

At some point, Olivine was brought up in conversation and John was surprised at the reaction. One dwarf almost spat at the mention and several others seemed displeased.

“Olivine and her sister! Both despicable. If it’s not one, it’s the other, but Olivine is the worst. Stripping so that she steals more customers, it’s disgraceful! Then she pretends it’s all an accident, how do you accidentally pull your clothes off and start flaunting your tits?” the disgruntled dwarf chided. “What’s worse is that she actually has skill, yet she still gets her tatties out to bring in more business… it’s sickening!”

None of them knew how to react, but soon another dwarf chimed in, and then another. The laughing and jokes stopped and the table was now filled with comments like: “They put people off and drive away business”, “she’s just using her body to steal all our business”, “I’d love to put my face between her tits”, “she’s just doing it for attention”, and “I bet she gets off on it.”

Counter arguments were then thrown out by other dwarves, and eventually, the shouting matches got so bad the barmaid had to come over and remind the guys that if they were planning on getting physical, they either step into the ring or head to Wrath.

Some of the angrier redder-faced dwarves stormed off towards a back door clearly labelled with a lion in a similar design to the indicators of the Sins. The rest seemed to have calmed down a little but not enough to quench the fire, so several of them got up and headed to a large white-painted circle between the tables.

After stripping down to just their jeans. The first two started the match. It had been the first time John had actually seen a sumo fight, so he wasn’t sure if they were doing the right thing or not, only making it more curious and odd because he’d never imagined dwarves sumo fighting.

The laughter had returned once again, and all mention of the dwarf blacksmith had vanished, bringing the mood of the ale house back. Though they could have stayed for longer, John suggested it might be time to move on before they started another argument or another fight broke out.

They walked for a while before John and Ellie became very aware of the tone shift. No longer were the buildings around them pubs and taverns. Instead, more modern-looking buildings began towering over them, and not in the same way as the clubs they’d seen upon first arriving.

Women and men walked around in various states of undress, some in lingerie, some in just bottoms and some even completely naked, but all of them tried to entice people walking by into the clubs they worked for.

Not only were there people trying to pull you into clubs but the towering buildings had displays showing guys and girls dancing, with some of them including live sex performances.

“You guys don’t have a change of clothing, do you? This next place has a business casual attire requirement. Like, they’ll allow you in if you at least have jeans, a shirt and a dinner jacket,” Robin explained. “The place we’re going to has a rental place in its foyer, so if you need some clothing we’re good.”

John thought for a moment. “Oh, my clothes can literally look like anything I want, so I can just change them to suit my needs,” he explained.

“And I do have some nicer clothing in my lab, so I could go get changed there. I don’t suppose magic items count towards the no using magic do they?” Ellie asked.

“I thought that’d be the case; you’ll both need to be in the changing room to use those. John, you should be able to do it literally in the doorway of the changing room, they might even just tell you to change in the lobby. Ellie, you’ll definitely have to go into the changing room, and it’s likely a bouncer will need to accompany you into your lab and then search you before allowing you out,” Robin explained.

Ellie nodded and John raised an eyebrow and looked at Robin. “So, Robin, I’m noticing the clubs around us are a little more… naked and I’ve seen that a lot of them have a peacock and fox on them somewhere, I’m assuming the fox is Lust?”

“Nothing gets past you, does it?” Robin sarcastically replied. “Yeah, we’re in the Strip Club District, or if you wanna use its actual name, the ‘explicit entertainment district’. I thought we could come here before heading back to the Seven Circles to round out our night.”

“Ooh, nice. I haven’t been to a strip club in a while,” Ellie cooed. “Wonder what an Abyssal one would be like, is there gonna be, like, live sex? Can I pay a waitress to get under the table and give me some customer service? Oh, could I pay a waitress to sit on John’s dick while she’s under the table giving me customer service?”

Robin sighed but laughed. “Some of them would allow that, yeah. The one we are going to is seen as a little higher class than a lot of the places around here. The gentleman's club isn’t between levels, it’s squarely on Pride, but they have links that take you to their brothel on Lust. You might think that’s dumb, but there are quite a lot of restrictions for places that are between sins. That does mean that the club itself is limited to non-sexual contact but it means they can basically do anything they want in the brothel.”

The three continued walking as Robin explained more, “So in the club, you’ll notice that every staff member will wear some kind of band jewellery, be that a ring or bracelet or what have you. They come in several colours. Black means that they’re unavailable for the brothel, and you will be kicked and banned from the club if you try anything with them, even inappropriate touching.

“The next colour is pink, anyone wearing those are ‘on the menu’ which essentially means they have a standard price and what you can do with them is strictly on the menu; there may be some secret menu items I could tell you about some other time. Silver is the next tier up. They have a ‘menu’ but it’s a little looser; they don’t have set prices and you have to be the one to offer what you’re willing to pay. They’re significantly more expensive than a pink-tier host, and if you offer a price they’re not happy with, they might either refuse you or tell you to raise your price.

“Next are the gold bands; they set their prices. You can make it obvious you’re interested in them and they’re likely to ask if you’d like to move over to the brothel. Asking them their prices directly is allowed, but just some insider knowledge: if you do that, their price gets an extra fee which is usually like thirty percent or something depending on who you’ve asked. Do be aware that because they set their prices, it’s not a fixed one, so John and I could be offered by the same host, and the host could offer John a blowjob for 2k, they could then offer me the same thing but it might be 1k or it could be 2k, it’s completely dependant on the host and guest.

“Finally mithril bands. I doubt you’ve seen mithril before, it looks like a brilliant silver but with a very noticeable blue-green shimmer to it. So mithril is the VIP band. They’re basically black bands as far as you’re concerned. Don’t touch them, don’t ask for prices, and don’t make offers. If they take an interest, they will tell you exactly what they’ll do to you, or let you do to them, and they’ll give you a price. There is no bartering, no counteroffer, your choices are to politely decline or follow them into the brothel.

“Oh wait, I forgot one more band; this is for customers. So you might see one or two customers wearing a vibrant copper-coloured band, it’s called blood gold. If someone is wearing that, it essentially means they’re DTF; you can talk to them and get a room in the hotel on the brothel side of the club. If either they or you try to offer cash for sex, both of you will be thrown out and banned from the club. Understand all that?”

John and Ellie nodded as they listened. Once Robin had finished he stopped right outside of a very nice-looking building; it was like the outside of a nice hotel or casino. Rather than actual staff being on the streets, there were holographic tubes which showed men and women dancing.

Robin led the two through the glass doors and to the front desk. “Welcome to Elation. How may I help you today?” the gorgeous bunny woman asked. She then cocked her head. “Oh, Robin, it’s good to see you.”

She stood with perfect posture, looking up at the trio over her glasses. Despite her business suit being completely sheer and see-through, allowing John to stare at her large chest, John felt like he could have a full business meeting with her and have it be completely professional. Her aura radiated professionalism.

The bunny girl seemed to notice both John and Ellie staring and she gracefully altered her posture. Her right arm moved beneath her breasts, hefting them up slightly and causing them to bounce pleasantly, while her other was placed behind her back, before she pushed her chest out further. Despite this obvious display and show, she retained her professional radiance.

John noticed her right hand fidgeting slightly which drew his attention and allowed him to see that she was spinning a ring on her finger with her thumb. As the silver band rotated, John spotted the club’s logo and remembered what Robin had said about the staff wearing bands.

Robin cut through as John stared. “Hey, it’s good to see you too. I’ve brought some friends for their first time here. We’ll need to use the changing rooms. I have a suit in storage, my female friend would like to access a pocket space, and my male friend has clothing which can magically alter itself.”

The leporine woman smiled and nodded. “Of course,” she said, pulling the arm from behind her back in order to gesture towards one of the doors which opened by itself.

John began following Robin and Ellie before being stopped. “Excuse me, sir. It’s not necessary for you to enter the changing room. Feel free to alter your clothing while in the lobby. Just remember that once you enter the club you will not be permitted to change again unless you come back here,” the woman said in a polite but firm tone.

John nodded and moved back towards the desk. He closed his eyes and pictured the clothing he had worn for the outing with his mother before spinning on his heels. His clothing quickly shifted and morphed into the smart clothing he’d once worn.

The receptionist hopped and clapped. “Very smart, sir. I’m sure your entourage will find you quite stunning.”

John noticed something when she jumped, which prompted him to peek behind the desk and see that the floor was thirty to fifty centimetres sunken, making the bunny girl look much shorter than she actually was; he also noticed the girl's legs and feet which reminded him of Miruko from My Hero Academia. She noticed him looking and turned slightly in order for him to see her ass and the twitching tail above.

“It seems you have exquisite taste and a good eye. Don’t be shy, look all you want, I have a fondness for people staring. In particular, I enjoy the leer of eyes on my chest; they’re completely natural and very sensitive. If you’d believe it, I am much more likely to orgasm from stimulating my breasts or nipples than anywhere else on my body. One of my favourite things to do is rub cum into them after giving someone a mind-blowing titjob. Feel free to make me a good offer, and seeing as you’re friends of Robin, I might even allow you to touch my ears,” the woman cooed, bringing the silver band into view once again.

“I’m more than positive these two would love nothing more than to take you up on your offer and find out what it really means to fuck like rabbits. But this is their first time visiting, and they’ve been living like mundanes until very recently.” Robin laughed as he entered the lobby and walked around to stand on the other side of John, putting his arm around his friend. John on the other hand was shocked and didn’t hide it very well as he began staring daggers at his friend.

The bunny girl huffed and crossed her arms under her boobs, ensuring to bounce them, and winked at John. “Does that mean I’m the first Vieran you’ve ever met? If so, I hope I have made a good impression on you. And please, if you want to experience more of what a Vieran can do, make sure you visit me.”

Robin smiled. “I’m sure you would be. Anyway, John, I have a gift for you that I think you’re going to love. It should be arriving any time now,” he said.

At that moment footsteps almost echoed from the dressing room, prompting John to look in that direction.
