House of Ill-Repute
This is a nicely-constructed little House in
Urban TIM, constructed by
Empedocles. To get there from the TinyTIM
Nexus, go "interplace", "city", "north", "east", "east", "east", and "north",
or else just
@teleport to #38480 and then go up.
The House has all sorts of fun rooms, with fun MUSH-coding to appeal to a
variety of tastes. Disclaimer: Empedocles tried to make
the House appeal to a wide range of tastes. If there's something that
offends you in it, stay out of that room. Here are a few of the features:
- Cozy Room
- A lovely foyer for the House. Sit in the couch, but don't forget to
stand up before trying to leave. You may need to visit the bathrooms
there; look at the graffiti.
- Please Brutality Rooms
- Commands here are law for other people! Be careful what you ask people
to do, they have to obey. Other rooms off the main one have a similar
feature, except that only members of one sex or the other can command
there.
- Dark Room
- Pitch black; you can't tell who's doing things, you can just hear and
feel someone. Bring friends.
- Bondage Room
- Real, working MUSH-coded bondage frame. The "bondee" can see and hear
what's done in the room, but can react only in controlled ways. An
interesting experiment in the interaction of role-playing and coding, no
matter your preference.
- Bower
- Large semi-public room where anything consensual and sanitary goes.
Make sure you wear a nude description, and don't pass up a chance to lounge
and swim in the hot tub!
- And more...
- Really, some of the cleverer stuff has to be seen to be understood.
People often come to the House, unfortunately, with some misplaced
expectations. They expect things of the House for which is really wasn't
designed. Here are some things the House is:
- A cool place to wander around and check out funky coding. Ask Emp for
a tour.
- A fun place to come and talk with people in a variety of atmospheres.
- A friendly place to play with people you meet and use the MUSH
facilities to enhance your fun.
- A place to hang out and meet other people who may be hanging out, or
invite friends over to. The facilities are always open to the public.
There are, however, some things the House is not:
- A place to go to find willing, ready partners for whatever you have
planned with a snap of your fingers. If you want that kind of thing, find
a local bride-by-mail service, or a singles bar.
- A place where there's always someone just dying to become
your squeeze. A few people do live in the House, but they're real people
just like you or me or
Sketch (well, maybe not like Sketch) and have
lives of their own which they may or may not choose to live in the House at
that instant.
- A place where everyone you meet is... well, meat. The people there,
as I said, are real folks who may or may not have any desire to take part
in whatever dastardly plan you have. Please, use some taste and class.
Pick-up lines like "Okay, so where do we go to have sex?" are not generally
considered the height of suavity.
So, if you think you have the hang of that, why don't you stop by and check
it out? Remember, at Empedocles' House of Ill-Repute, it's our business
doing pleasure with you.
