[OOC Post] Discord Server Now Available!

Hello wonderful people, just wanted to let you know that a wonderful victim friend of mine took the time to set up a discord server for this public event quickly becoming known as ‘The Nightmare before Endwalker’. Yes, that is the name of the server too, ffs.

This will help keep everything organized with the stories, prompts, fellow opt-ins, etc. Especially once more of the other entities / factions start showing up to progress this event’s storyline. ( like @whisper-in-the-wall )

Feel free to hop in, even if you’re not sure if you want to participate yet. This will help you get a feel for everything and ask questions directly if you’re still on the fence.

https://discord.gg/6nSgjq6s42

A massive thanks to @theupset​  for setting this discord up for me while I’ve been busy getting a leg up on the posts and stories to come for the event. It really helps out my work load <3.

Despite the help I had gotten a month or so ago the rental office is still demanding payments despite me explaining the situation and me waiting on paperwork from rental assistance. So I have set up a gofundme to hopefully get something so I can lower the overdue balance more to hopefully appease the rental office til my Disability hearing in January. Anything at this point will help. I can’t be on the street with two cats. https://www.gofundme.com/f/rent-and-bill-assistance-for-2-months

Is it too early to start pounding on SE’s door telling them that we need lady Hrothgar and Viera men?

Recovery and Contemplation

((A short one to try and get back into writing for this guy. Not super happy with it, but opted to toss it on here anyway.) Lan caught himself flexing his left hand once again, it had become a bit of a habit since the procedure several weeks ago. It was as if his brain was still amazed that he once more had two arms, and even more amazed that the prosthetic felt so natural to him, the doctor really had been a miracle worker. With a shake of his head and a rueful smirk he continued into the courtyard that would serve his needs just nicely today. Not his courtyard mind you, there was no way he could afford this home, but thankfully his client had been all too happy to let him use the space.

He left his boots closer to the corridor he had just come from, and paced off to what looked to be the center of the area, setting his bag down and starting to unpack the things he had needed. Several candlesticks as well as the candles themselves, all set up in an arc of a full 180 degrees. Next several steel ball bearings, each one placed atop an unlit candle until every other candle held one of the small shiny spheres. Straightening up from his work, the Seeker took a moment to look over everything to make certain that it was set up as it should be, giving a satisfied nod before tossing the bag off to the side out of the way and following that up with the linen shirt he had been wearing.

Powerful muscles began to warm up as he started to stretch himself out, even old aches limbering up before he would set his mind to the exercise before him. Of course now that he had been treated to a massage from Phaedra, no amount of warm-ups and stretching would even come close to how good his muscles had felt under her hands. A small smile spread over his lips as he allowed the events at the baths to play out in his head again, a treat that he had not expected at all, but one that he silently hoped to repeat in the near future.

His client was on his mind a lot these days, and he admitted to himself that it was not only work related, the woman was just enjoyable to be around, even if her flirting challenged his restraint more than she realized. Shaking his head as he straightened up from the last bit of stretching he did his best to push thoughts of the exotic Au Ra woman from his mind, as pleasant as she was, he needed to focus for a bit. And even absent she made that difficult.

Smoothly his blade came clear of the scabbard, curved steel moving to a ready position as Lan took a deep breath and adopted the familiar sensation of centering himself. Metal flashed in the light of the courtyard as a simple metallic click rang out, the first ball bearing having been shifted from it’s home candle to the next one in line. And then the weapon became a whirl of activity, as he fell into a rhythm of shifting the spheres between candles. The exercise required precise movements to lift each bearing using the flat of the blade without cutting the candles and manage to settle each one on the next empty candle. The process was repeated over and over again, the quiet clicking sound of metal meeting metal forming a quick tempo as he flowed smoothly between various patterns of “attack” in which the sword did not always move in the same arc of motion. It was actually just past the next bell when Lan finally brought his blade to a halt, a thin sheen of perspiration showing on that scarred torso of his, dark hair damp from the exertions of the work-out. Sapphire colored eyes scanned the candles arrayed before him and the lack of damage to any of them made him smile some.

And now it was time to just take a breather, get some water, and limber up a bit more. He was already planning to pack things up so that the courtyard was cleared out, he didn’t want to impose on Phae’s hospitality, but afterward it would be time for a bit of a run, something else that would help him clear his head.

The Red Lantern; Recruiting!

[ Updated September 6th, 2020 ]  

 We’re pleased to announce that we’re opening our doors once more in search of high-quality writers and role-players to add to our growing family! 

   Our current goal is for 4 - 5 male/male-presenting and female/female-presenting characters for companions, 2- 3 stellar security team recruits, and 4 - 5 members of staff.

   We are no longer running our Freelance program - if you’re interested in working with us either individually or as a Free Company, please get in touch with Tsukiko Tanshi in-game or over Discord @ Tsukiko Tanshi#9604.

BEFORE YOU APPLY:

Due to the theme of the free company, we absolutely do not accept players or characters under the age of eighteen no matter what role they wish to apply in.

We strive to interact with the community through fun-loving events and networking with other smaller free companies for the betterment of all; our activity requirements ask for more than lurking or passive interaction.

We encourage members to consider at least two roles, especially if applying as a companion; we cannot, and will not, promise constant companion work and we are not a place for people to park alts they only intend to play when they’re in the mood to get their bang on.

We keep a small active roster because we believe in providing a quality environment not just for our members, but for those of the community who interact with us. This means that when lulls hit, we feel it harder than most. If you’re looking for a large FC, this is not it!

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS:

The Red Lantern is a brothel, and you are required to understand what that entails. You are not, and will never be, expected to participate in anything that you don’t want to, but please don’t apply and then act like you didn’t know what we are – we’re one of the few places that doesn’t hide this.

Companions are classed as sexual and non-sexual. Again, you’re never forced to do something you don’t want to do. Want to explore a character designed around comforting people but never touching them? Bring it. Dreamed of playing a masseuse sans ‘happy endings’? We’d love that. Want to be a private dancer? We’d love that, too! We don’t believe all intimacy is physical, so get creative.

Most of our members are based in the USA and Canada. We all have varying playtimes and schedules, and we do have a few folk in the EU. Our Discord is active at almost all hours; we’re a chatty bunch.

We love networking! Do you want to run events but you lack the staff? Drop us a line on Tumblr, or approach us IC! If you have needs, we want to fill them! Oh yes, I know what I did there.

Are you the sort who likes to get to know people before committing? We understand! If you’re interested in us and what we do, but you’d like to get to know the players and get comfortable, please get in touch. We’re happy to invite you into our Discord where you can mingle and get a feel for our dynamic with no pressure to join. 

Important Links:

   ○ Our Tumblr - https://redlanterns-ffxiv.tumblr.com/

   ○ Our Carrd - https://rls-app.carrd.co/

Interested? The Carrd has just about all the information you’ll ever need and more, including links to the application. Something not working? Pop us a message! We’ll get it fixed and answer any questions you might possibly have. 

We look forward to meeting you! Yes, you!

OOC: You Good?

Sharing some thoughts that for some reason I felt I needed to put down. And hopefully showing my heartfelt thanks to some of those that my life needed more than ever. I apologize for the sort of scattered feeling to this.

Four grown men, crammed into an armored vehicle which thankfully had air conditioning, sang “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette(very badly) as they led a massive logistical convoy northbound from Mosul. A typical day for the team and their platoon really, though sometimes the singing was a bit better. We hated convoy escorts, but it was part of the job we signed up for, so we carried it out as trained despite all our grumbling. So many miles on the roads, and all the excitement one could expect with cruising around in a war zone. It was a brief flash off to the left, brain barely registering the image before the dull thud and violent shift of the almost 30,000 lbs vehicle confirmed what everyone knew in an instant. I barely remember hearing my team sergeant yelling, “IED!”, both through the internal coms and over the radio. My hearing was dull, more than it had been after the previous blasts we had encountered, and for some reason the light inside the vehicle seemed very dim.The next thing I knew my sergeant was reaching over to hit me on the chest, “You good?!”I nod as I shake off what feels like the bits of a not so nice buzz. And the world went back to normal for us, gunfire followed the explosion, and we handled things as we had in the past.My team ended up getting into another vehicle as our’s was damaged enough that it needed to be towed. Later we figured out that I had gotten my world rocked with a mild concussion, but it was nothing career ending, something I was so very thankful for. I was even more thankful for my team, no, my family. 15 months in a foreign nation embroiled in a bloody conflict, and many times I would stop and think about how wonderful it felt to have people to count on through thick and thin. People that there were really no words to express just how much gratitude you had for them, but they knew, just as I knew that they felt the same for me.

Life presses in over and over again, a 37 year old man works from home like so many others do. A veteran of war and former military police investigator, I was witness to some of the worst and some of the best of things, so no matter what I move forward. Complaining doesn’t move my feet, willpower does. But still the weight piles on, even the things that eased burdens in the past seem to mire my steps forward now. Willpower keeps the trudging steps moving though, almost to the end of the tunnel, right? It becomes like wading through a waist deep bog. And each boot sucking step feels as if it is drawing me deeper and deeper. “Hey, you good?!” The words were not exactly the same, and came via typed words rather than the spoken. But they cut through the haze, they are what grabs hold and lifts me from the bog that had pulled me in so deeply. And thanks to people like @tsukikotanshi, @kogoeru, and the crew of the @redlanterns-ffxiv I keep moving forward for myself and for them, my family. I believe that even Shakespeare might struggle to help me find the words to properly say thank you.
