[Plot] So who likes a speakeasy?
This derp here is Pidonus. She's a lot of things, as a recent post has revealed. With the reveal of what's about to happen to Exsilium, though, she's figured out that the Initiative's about to order evacuations (though not yet that they're going to the mooooon). She also knows how this sort of thing tends to end up - namely, with minimal supplies, and no luxuries.
She's got a plan for dealing with this, thanks to an odd magic item she had custom-made soon before she got called to Exsilium, which gives her an extradimensional "Mansion" space that grows and can be reconfigured as she levels. Better yet, she can place the gate anywhere and specify who goes in and out.
Her vile-ish scheme: A Transports-only speakeasy, initially funded by basically looting Exsilium. Furniture, books, toys, games, and, most of all - drinks. She'll be robbing the market stalls under cover of night, using her powers to their fullest.
She's looking for three things, in order (and a fourth begrudgingly):
1) People who she chooses to conscript into helping her "acquire" everything. Her charm powers can let her convince people to help her who might not otherwise go with it, unless doing so is truly against their nature.
2) Staff for the actual "speakeasy" once it's supplied and prepared. Besides the obvious wait staff and such, she'll also be looking for cooks, coat check, and a few other roles. Pidonus will not use her powers to talk people into this, but will be seeking people who need a distraction from what's going on.
3) Suppliers. This one's going to be less of a concern until the place is open, but Pidonus will pay as she can for items of use to a place of entertainment and drinking, or tools that could enhance the place by, for example, providing electricity or water within it. (Pidonus herself will also be running supply runs frequently.) Note that the place does have magical lighting.
4) "Competition". Pidonus built the place with several bars, all in the same (large) room, and is only stocking one. Anyone who asks and can stock one of them can run their own operation, as long as they're largely in it for the enjoyment and psychological well-being of the other Transports.
Questions? Ponderances? Volunteers? Please ask within!
While Pidonus' actions will be going for the days surrounding the exit, an IC post will be going up tomorrow for in-character interactions about this.
