I'm not at all averse to awakening with a warm body beside my own, but I am not the sort that gorges himself on wine and excess to the point of memory loss. One of the reasons is that I enjoy remembering my exploits, particularly how I came to have someone in bed with me. Admiral, you would do well to remember that.

One of these days you ought to place me in a locale with which I am familiar. For once I'd like to not be the silly foreigner who comes from a time bereft of electricity and adult book stores.

That said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So what do the Romans here, do?

Stildyne's grumpy would be mitigated if only he could see Dat Icon

They assault innocent men with sales advertisements, is what they do. Who thinks a man stumbling out for coffee, obviously hung-over, wants a prostitute?

[Sorry, Stildyne; that's just you. You have the Creeper Look that makes you look like a very good mark for the card-slingers.

He squints down at the fanned set of cards he wound up in possession of in the three whole blocks between the hotel room he awoke in and the coffee shop down the street.]

Or perhaps they're trying to make sure I'm equipped for Disinterested Sex Worker Poker.

Gamble, drink, spend money, attend shows. If you have the money to do all those things at once, great. It may not be the Vegas I'm from, but its still just the same, unsurprisingly.

Pretty much whatever they want to do short of killing and maiming. Just keep your pants on in public.

[impure_tale]

My poor Brachi. Perhaps you'll join me in taking in a show?

[impure_tale]

You're very familiar with the locale, then?

[impure_tale]

Honestly, the people in your time. As if nudity were the most scandalous thing a person could manage.

[most_feared]

You gonna try to push the envelope?

[umgekehrt]

Certainly I'll escort. Security detail for someone so out of place here. [Which means, and the Marquis almost certainly knows it, 'There's not a planet or time you wouldn't be the height of poise and you know I know it.']

[peter_vincent]

Lived here for the past couple of years, so yeah. I'm more than a bit familiar.
