[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 âThe Nightmare before Endwalkerâ. 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 eventâs storyline. ( like @whisper-in-the-wall )
Feel free to hop in, even if youâre not sure if you want to participate yet. This will help you get a feel for everything and ask questions directly if youâre still on the fence.

A massive thanks to @theupsetâ for setting this discord up for me while Iâve been busy getting a leg up on the posts and stories to come for the event. It really helps out my work load <3.
Reblog this if you promise to your RP Partners that they can safely tell you they want to drop a thread without you being rude or manipulative about it
I'm not dead even though I've not posted anything in ages.

A Very Important Announcement!
HEY EVERYONE!
Please with @tsukikotanshi a very happy birthday!
Reblog if Iâm allowed to send you in character asks even if we have never talked before.
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 canât be on the street with two cats. https://www.gofundme.com/f/rent-and-bill-assistance-for-2-months
The Future
Is it too early to start pounding on SEâs 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 itâs 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 âattackâ 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 didnât want to impose on Phaeâs 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 ]Â Â
 Weâre pleased to announce that weâre opening our doors once more in search of high-quality writers and role-players to add to our growing family!Â
  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 youâre 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 theyâre 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 youâre 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 donât want to, but please donât apply and then act like you didnât know what we are â weâre one of the few places that doesnât hide this.
Companions are classed as sexual and non-sexual. Again, youâre never forced to do something you donât want to do. Want to explore a character designed around comforting people but never touching them? Bring it. Dreamed of playing a masseuse sans âhappy endingsâ? Weâd love that. Want to be a private dancer? Weâd love that, too! We donât 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; weâre 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 youâre interested in us and what we do, but youâd like to get to know the players and get comfortable, please get in touch. Weâre happy to invite you into our Discord where you can mingle and get a feel for our dynamic with no pressure to join.Â
Important Links:
  â Our Tumblr - https://redlanterns-ffxiv.tumblr.com/

Interested? The Carrd has just about all the information youâll ever need and more, including links to the application. Something not working? Pop us a message! Weâll get it fixed and answer any questions you might possibly have.Â
We look forward to meeting you! Yes, you!
[ Weâve opened our applications once more. We look forward to meeting you! ]
[ Still open! Weâre nearly filled on house staff, and would prefer security and sex workers of any type! Donât be shy! ]
[ We have officially filled on house staff and are looking specifically for security and sex worker characters. If you have questions or concerns, you can direct them my way in a private message or Discord! ]

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.
