Starting over

When I got to Dominion I was quickly handed off to a refugee crisis consoler which I didn't really need but I did keep his info. Then I was taken to processing where I had my identity confirmed and I was given an identification brand on my chest which was a bit strange but I just went with it at this point. Lastly, though I was taken to an integration specialist, I had never lived outside of the city so I was a little surprised when sat down in front of someone who looked like the devil himself in an off the rack suit. He stood up as I entered and reached out a hand "Hey there you must be Leo, my name is James I am here to help you resettle in the DARK Empire" as he said the last part he waved his hands about like he had said something especially spooky with a mocking smile on his face.

After pulling up my file he helped me fill out paperwork to give me a shop that had been seized by the government. He also started the application for a business but I confessed I didn't know what I wanted to do yet. He patted me on the back and gave me a chit to a local inn and told me to message him when I knew what I wanted to do.

I walked across the street to the inn in a daze and sat down at the bar. I was staring down at the counter thinking as a massive set of breasts came into my view. Looking up I saw another devil looking at me from behind the bar, she had almost nothing on and an alluring look on her face. "Is there anything you would like a sir". I paused for a moment and looked around, what I saw was not the inn I was expecting. I saw lots of red soft booths with men and women surrounded by and catered to by scantily clad demons. Now that I was listening I also definitely heard people fucking upstairs. Looking back to the rather well-endowed barmaid I said "I am not sure I am in the right place?"

For a moment her mask held and then it changed into an 'Ohhhh' and asked: "You must be a refugee right?". I nodded before asking "How did you know?". She smiled and poured me a drink passing "Well the government here buys lodging at the cheapest hotels in town which are places like us". I nodded and said "let me guess, most people don't spend the night and you make more on what they do in the rooms". She smiled and said "Now you got it, but don't worry we keep a few rooms set aside for staff and customers like you and they are kept very clean."

I sighed as I took a deep drink "So that one is on the house but if you want another one you are going to have to tell me what happened". I looked around and asked, "Could you throw in some food". She laughed and said "Sure come around back" and led me into a kitchen with a few people working in it. I ate and told her the basic outlines of my story. When I finished I realized the cooks had stopped working and were listening too, when I finished one of them gave me a giant pat of the back before getting back to work.

Looking around I turned back to the barmaid and asked: "So are brothels like this common?" She wrinkled her nose and said, "Not really, they are expensive to run and you have to meet a lot of regulations plus frankly, our society isn't as hung up on sex as yours so why pay for what you can get for free." She looked around and said "Anyway I need to get back to work good luck, and let me know if I can do anything, really." and with a wink, she was gone.
