The Azdak Bathhouse is the only bathhouse in the city that caters to both Men and Women. Its pools and bathslaves(npc as I sold or otherwise rid of them) reknowned Gor-wide. It comes fully stocked (with webpage as it should be when we leave or otherwise must give up our properties). ((OOC - Post the r/p of looking, negotiating and buying here and it will be transferred over)) **Note.. If you already have a business, leave this for those that don't. Remember that only one business pd per person. www.creative-chat.com/work/Novlyne/Bathhouse/DoABathhouse.html

So, not being too sure as to to how much properties go for in Tetrapoli, I put in my bid
(05/27/07-23:35:24) Ulrika Stonegate Caste of Singers Tetrapoli-CC
== Tetrapoli == - Along one of the city Streets -
: says to ALL:.... *Fixing the street veil once more, I walked, the pair of guards my brother had set for me flanking me. I looked about the neighborhood, recalling veyr well what Desire had said about this district, that it was not for the aint of heart* Okay. Now, why would my brother recomment I buy that business here again?

== Tetrapoli == - Along one of the city Streets -
: says to ALL:.... *Stopping, I make out the lettering on the signs, turning to the entrane for women when a man stride out Wiping his palms together gleefully, he calls my name* Yes. Brandanon did send word ahead of me *I chuckle, the nervous smile hiden by the veils* Yuo are the agent of the owner? Excellent. Why don't we get this started, sir
(05/27/07-23:40:03) Ulrika Stonegate Caste of Singers Tetrapoli-CC
== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *He turns for the entrance for men, leaving me for an Ehn on the steps. When he returns, arather sheepish expression on his face, I nod* Well, I was going to use the other door, Sir, and, do not fear, I was not planning on using the baths tonight *He laughes, leading me into the house.
Darke yes looking about, I count the number of stalls and te niches* Is there ever a need for more than seven? Ah, I see *I smile, then look to the drains* These are cleaned daily, yes? There are thralls for suchwork?
(05/27/07-23:43:51) Ulrika Stonegate Caste of Singers Tetrapoli-CC
== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *He explains that there are kajiri for such work. I chuckle, more to myself, using the northern term, old habits dying hard. When he explains taht there is a man on staff who checks for weapons, I smile* Good. I'd not wish for any rough business to occur in any establishment I owned. *The man, a trifle pudgy, bowed as he led me into the next room. I cough, instantly feeling my garments grow heavy from the steaming water* Okay, looks fine. Lets's move on *He laughs, leading me to the next room, explaining there were slaves to keep the fires burning* Those come with the cost of the business, yes?

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *As we walk into the next room, he explains that they are, indeed, included with the cost of the business* Good. Do they often need replacing? *as I say this, I look up to the vaulted ceillings, wondering if perhaps they should be adorned with mosaics. I chuckle wryly, thinking no small plans*
(05/27/07-23:49:28) Ulrika Stonegate Caste of Singers Tetrapoli-CC
== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *He indicates that, right now, there are no men within the baths. My expression must have disconcerted him for he quickly explained that he had told patrons the house was closed so i might bettter inspect the works. I nodded to him as wel explored the women's bath, looking over the various tubs and pools, places where women might safely get away to have some of the cares of the world steamed from them* There is no trouble? No one looking in, to see what they ought not? No hidden spy holes? *For each he shakes his head, explainng that if I wished, I could hire a woman to keep a better eye on things* I think I shall do that, sir

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *Passing among various fronds of ferns, i look on the massage tables, nodding. Finding a small tabnble, i open the drawers, looking withi at the tools, the stirgil, the soaps, the oils* It is like such in the men's portion? *He chuckles and nods* Excellent. Now, the cold pools? *Without another word, he leads me to another chamber, the ambient temperature here noticeably coolr. I crouch, kneeling in tower, setting my hand within the water. nodding, I rise to my feet* Monthly, what is the rate of maintaining these baths?

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *Explaining the costs, he leads me into an office, the two guards still behind me. the way one always reaches for his sword makes the agent a bit jittery. As I kneel, he offers me the books and accounts* Thank you *As I read, he starts to explain. I look up and smile beneath my veils, dark eyes narrowing slightly* I have some experience with ledgers, sir *He nods and bows, walking from the office. in all, it takes about an Ahn to go through the accounts, to d the figures on a piece of rep paper. On his return, I rise, handing the ledgers back to him* If there are no othe roffers, I should like to put in a bid. *I chuckle wryly* Idun knows my Mama will be flabbergasted I thought to bid anyway

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *He chuckles, his hands on his paunch. Thinking to catch him unawares, I quickly announce* 30 gold tarns *HE stops, a bit floored by the offer and responds, after nearly half an Ehn* Oh, dear, taht is a bit rich for my blood, Sir *I bow my head graciously, then turn for the door. This prompts a quikck reanalysis of his offer* Now, that is a little better. 40

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *He reminds me that the bath house does come with slaves, prompting another counter by himself. I nod, staring at him a moment, then stating* But I shall have to hire a woman to serve as, I suppose it is attendant, for the female section. Is there already an overseer on staff? *When he nods, I reply* 50 then *He scoffs, walking to the door, avoiding my guards, reaching to open it. A bit concerend, I quickly reply* 70 then *He pauses, then chuckles, countering me once more

== District of Azdak == - At the Azdak Bathhouse - Bathhouse Site
: says to ALL:.... *In the end we settle on eighty gold for the establishment. Feeling rather as if I'd been taken, schemes already run through my head on how to make that money back* Very well,Sir. I shall have my agent bring you the coins in the morning, or, at the very least, a bank draft. That will do, no? *He nods, looking every bit like the giani who got the songbird, even though I had reduced his initial price in half. Perhaps I'd not done so poorly after all* Thank you once more, Sir *I turn, leaving, the pair of guards in my wake, close by*
