To your left as you walk in, there is a glass-fronted green baize noticeboard to which is pinned a single neatly typed notice:

The Gentlemen's Club is situated in a large country mansion a short way out from Durem. From the outset, it is apparent that this is a building from a much older time. It has merely been renovated and altered to keep it a safe and well kept home. From the wrought-iron gates to the wide expanse of well-cultivated gardens to the huge wooden doors, this place exudes luxury and elegance.

The stone steps lead up into a thickly carpeted reception. A huge grandfather clock sits to the right of the carved wooden desk (which is complete with a little bell). Next to the clock, and behind the desk is a set of wooden pigeon holes, mounted on the wall. Some of these hold various bits and pieces of paper. Corridors lead off to both the right and the left, with the same lush red carpets and various pieces of artwork upon the walls.

As you enter into the lobby, a young man looks up from where he is languidly leaning on the desk. His garb seems a little unusual for such a formal-looking mansion. While suits and evening gowns would seem to fit right in, he is wearing dark leather and mesh shirts. And sunglasses. Indoors.

The man seems to take measure of you for a moment, his expression growing decidedly arrogant. Nevertheless, he greets you more or less cordially.
"Greetings. I am Ishachus, and this is the Gentlemen's Club. A highly exclusive society where the rich and the famous can relax. What is it that you want?

What? You're just here because your nose is too big for your face? Alright, what do you want to know? (This better not take long..)"

During this exchange, various young men have been slipping quietly between the corridors and through the reception. They obviously work here. Several of them are quite obviously not human, with wings or animalistic tails and ears. The one thing that they have in common is that they are all rather pretty - fangirls would term them 'bishie'.

"What do we have here? We have everything a connoisseur may wish for - a fully staffed bar, recreation rooms, galleries, an excellent restaurant, huge gardens, a lounge to relax in, and a lot more that you don't look like you can afford." He sneers just a little at this.

"The staff? What about them? Where do they come from? What kind of stupid question is that?
"I.. collect my staff from, shall we say, the backwaters of humanity. I bring them here, clothe, feed and educate them in all the ways of courtesy and etiquette. They are good staff, loyal... though if I were to be offered enough I might think of parting with one. Just don't go interrupting them. They've got work to do."

There is a discreet sign beside the driveway, with the name of the establishment in gold leaf letters. Underneath is a small glass-fronted panel, with a neatly typed piece of letterheaded paper pinned inside:

Rules
Rule number one:
Don't be an a**. Bitching, arguing and general nastiness are duties reserved for yours truly only.

Rule number two:
No art theft. It's simple: steal this art, and I will personally hunt you down, and make you one of my special staff.

Rule number three:
No whining about availability or price of my bishies. I make sure that my art staff work their pretty little asses off for you, and I treat the insinuation that I am a purveyor of cheap, inferior products as a deep personal insult. I provide only the best, and if you don't want to pay for it, that's your problem.

Rule number four:
My staff do not enjoy being bent, folded, spindled or mutilated. Funny haircuts are right out. This means no editing the artwork. Incorporating them into a signature is permitted, providing the name of this establishment is visible somewhere.


Rule number five:
You must have adequate accommodation for your new bishounen. I'm not putting them up indefinately for you. In other words, no direct linking: use your own damn web space! For a list of places to get free webspace, read this.

Rule number six:
Keep off the damn grass!

There is a delicate wrought-iron stand near the dining room entrance, with what looks like a menu sitting upon it. The room itself is dimly lit and elegant, the decorations continuing the wrought iron theme of the entrance. Tables are scattered over the dark red carpet, made up with dark tablecloths and silver cutlery. At the front of the room, on a small stage, stands an ornate iron lectern, as if the room had been set for an auction or conference.



Auction information:
Status: Closed

Flatsale information:
Status: Closed
All bishounen are individual - there will only be one of each available (We don't do cloning). Currently, sales are on a first-come-first-serve basis. Successful buyers will receive a tag containing their staff member.

Flatsales cost 10,000g each.

Raffle information:
Status: Closed
Raffle tickets cost 100g each. Entrants can buy as many tickets as they wish, and raffles are open to anybody unless stated otherwise. If you wish to buy tickets, send your trade to Ishachus, labeled "TGC raffle". The numbers will be allocated by Ishachus. Do not ask for specific number(s).


Should your tastes be rather... specific, we may be able to obtain a bishounen that meets your requirements more fully. This service will not come cheaply though - do you know how difficult it is to find an exact, breathing replica of what is going on inside your head?? But, we aim to please, so for hefty price, we may well be able to come up with the goods.
Again, successful buyers will receive a tag containing their specific staff member. For slots, check Ieyasu and Alyosha's studios.

Those wishing to purchase a custom should PM the studio staff member that they wish to procure the bishounen from after reading the relevant section at the bottom of the page.

This wing of the building contains two guest bedrooms. Each bedroom contains a sizeable double four-poster bed, a tall wardrobe, and a mirrored dressing table. Smaller doors in each room lead off to a bathroom fitted out in a Victorianesque style, complete with claw-footed iron bathtubs and fluffy white towels.

A very discreet notice beside the towels reads: "Towels should be placed in bath on checking out, not in suitcases. Thank you - The Mgmt."

Breeding Information:
Each TGC will be asked to donate a certain amount of 'personal matter' voluntarily upon signing their contracts.

TGC's who wish to breed with each other may pay to have their genetics scientifically mixificated™ and have them sent off to be surrogated by one of our staff at our 'sister' facility before being speed-grown in our specialist nutri-gro™ bags. We endeavour to implant any wanted personality quirks and abilities into the growing bishi but any 'flaws' in temperament and fashion sense are fully the responsibility of the parents.

Because of the difficulty of this genetic mish-mashing if all due care is not taken some of the carrier's genetic traits can get thrown in the mix. So, for example, if a pair of employees contact a surrogate of the 'black cat' humanoid type, they may find their spawn present some of the features of that mother unless due care is taken.

You can also choose to have your boy throw his lot in and go for the 'normal' conception process in which case we'll simply pass his 'matter' onto the willing surrogate. Her genes will, thusly, be a far greater part of the admixture so TGC's employees and their contract holders would be wise to choose the surrogate with discretion.

The type of breeding slots available thusly, are:

Fast (Pair) (omg where did he get that tail?) 20k
Slow (Pair) (no accidental mixes, guaranteed) 25k
Single (mix from a single bishi and his chosen surrogate) 20k

Please also note that the amount of 'special stuff' we take from our new employees is generally only enough for three mixes in total. If they then wish to breed more, they may, but they will have to pay a steep administration fee for preparation and storage and this does not guarantee them another chance, but makes it possible for them to obtain a surrogacy slot when it becomes available should they so wish.

Also, those who use the fast and the single methods using the same surrogate must take care that their children don't get entangled - we don't want ugly three armed, 5 headed mutant babies running around! The surrogates will, however, change every once in a while and some may only be available for a short time, to allay this problem and some special surrogates may allow use of their genetic material only to the highest bidder.

There will only be one child from a breeding. Children may be given away, but you may not sell them. To request a breeding, PM a member of studio staff with an open slot (the current status of slots is given below).

Breeding: OPEN - see page 568!

This small office behind the reception houses a couple of large ledgers, a rack of pigeonholes, and a stack of dirty magazines. One of the ledgers is marked "STAFF ROLL", and has several bookmarks throughout. Opening it at the first bookmark, one would find smooth white pages filled with writing in an elegant, ornate hand.

This room is currently darkened and unstaffed, although in the dim light from the hallway one may glimpse a wall of bottles, mirrors and twisted wrought iron behind the bar.

This well lit south-facing room contains several overstuffed and comfortable-looking leather couches, each one accompanied by a footstool and a small drinks table.

Beside the entrance, there is a low table and chair. On the table sits a large open book, with a pen tethered to it by a length of red silk cord.

The doorway to this room is slightly out of the way, down a short corridor off the main hall. A large sign is screwed to the door, with elegant gold leaf letters spelling out the following:

Elegant sign

A slim black-covered book sits on top of the reception desk, with "Directory" stencilled on its front. Opening it, a host of business cards and leaflets are taped to the pages.
