Okay ladies and gentlemen, submitted for your perusal, we have a casting call going out for a case of international intrigue.
The year is 1906. The city is Paris, France. A rare, and precious, Indian artifact has been stolen from its resting place in London. As a favor for an old friend an Investigator is sent to follow a suspected culprit to Paris in order to discover the truth and recover the artifact. The suspect is an established Nobleman of London society who has recently become enamored of the Bohemian lifestyle centered in the salons of Paris. As the Investigator arrives in Paris he is confronted by the lifestyle of the dancehalls and parlors of contemporary France. In particular is the jewel in the crown of the extravagant nature of the Bohemians, the Singer. She is the courtesan of Paris, admired by all, known by few. The Investigator gets mired in the indulgence of the era while trying to scrutinize the Nobleman's activities that delve into all aspects of Bohemian living. It's a heady time of wanton sexual enterprizes that the Investigator must find his niche in while trying to solve the theft. In the midst of this adventure a murder interrupts the carefree attitudes of the community, throwing chaos into the pandemonium of the culture. Now fear and suspicion has everyone looking over their shoulders as the rumored auction of the artifact draws near. What role is the Nobleman really playing? Will the Investigator solve all the riddles? What role does the Singer play in all of this? Is everything as it seems? Or are there larger forces at work?
Sadly the role of the Investigator and the Singer have already been spoken for. However, we still need the Nobleman. We need a Patron/Matron of the Singer, who is the wealthy socialite that owns the parlor where the Singer performs and solicits customers for her bed. We need other Courtesans, other members of the Bohemian culture, secretive and mysterious buyers who have traveled to Paris from every corner of the world to bid on the artifact, a Parisian Detective trying to manage his city. The doors are open on possibilities. We're looking for a colorful, sexual romp with intrigue and danger thown in the mix. Just leave a post with a brief character overview and how you'd like to explore this story. Questions, comments, concerns can be directed towards myself or Maid of Marvels.
