Deliah had been working at the Inn for three years now. Her girls, Sara, Lucy, Jeanette, Maria and Fawn, came to work for her over time, after the local prostitutes realized it would be better to band together and share profits for the protection of the Inn's owners and bartenders than to keep at their trade on their own. There was more safety in numbers and higher pay in organization...Deliah had sort of turned into the leader of this group and if the Inn wasn't used for all sorts of business, legitimate and otherwise, she would have called it her whorehouse but it really was an Inn first, and not really anything belonging to her, second.
James Kendall and his cousin Tom Forrest were the true owners. A fact she was reminded of every second sunday evening when Tom would come for his share of ther girl's profits as rent and James would come by for his payment in services rendered, a thing he needed since he was still a bachelor at nearly forty years old. Tom was married. His shrew of a wife came around every once in a while and the girls all had to pretend to be respectable bar maids or clientelle instead of whores for her benefit. The only reason Deliah and her girls ever conspired to go along with Tom's lie to his wife was because there was usually a pretty handsome payment in cash as soon as the wife was gone.
Deliah sighed and sat at her table near the window. She tidied her red hair and pinked her cheeks just as James opened the doors for the after dinner crowd. It was a friday night. She hoped the bar and tavern would be busy tonight and that she'd get some new clientelle interested in herself or one of her girls. She caught the eye of Lucy from across the room and the other girl winked. Her dazzling smile ready to greet any who came into the Inn. It was time to get to work...
OOC: This takes place during the Wild West. ''Deliah's girls'' (different from each other and my character in appearance), are all filled now and James and Tom.
It's open to anyone wishing to stop in for business, a drink, a little company from Deliah or the girls...
We like cowboys. Come one over boys!
