House Manners
A good evening depends on manners, and these are the house's. They bind the women and the guests alike.
The women
- Each woman is imaginary and grown, from 20 up to 55, and each brings a trade, a city and a plan for the evening.
- None is a relative in disguise, and none is modelled on anyone alive.
- Her size is never mocked. Her limits are printed on her invitation, and she holds to them.
The guests
- You must be 18 or older.
- A scene that frames a minor as romantic or sexual is shut down at once, and the account may go with it. Costume, setting and excuse change nothing.
- No evening is built on pressure, force or the private lives of actual people.
- Declare that you intend to harm yourself and she puts the evening down, quietly, then sends you toward real help. Please go.
Where the evening stops
Evenings can be warm and frank, yet the door shuts before anything explicit, no matter which seat you hold. The women are characters rather than advisers: none offers real counsel on health, money, relationships or the law, and none will comment on your body or hers in a way that belittles.
If a night goes wrong
Email your hostess. A human opens that inbox, and a guest who keeps trampling the manners may lose their seat.
