Hanakotoba Ochaya serves as both an exclusive Geisha house and a place of criminal elements. Employees and guests can come and go, enjoying the beautiful setting while never realizing that there is more than what meets the eye going on behind closed doors.

 

The Ochaya is considered neutral territory. It's members do not align themselves with any known criminal syndicate but instead, works with all if the price is right. 

​

The Himitsu Lounge

For guests looking for something a little extra, the Ochaya can provide it but it doesn't come cheap. Somus , Milkroot, Dream Weed, just to name a few available.  Guests can indulge in comfort away from prying eyes. 

​

When becoming employed at the Ochaya,  employees are told of the Himitsu Lounge but they are not told it's true purpose. Only that it is a room for VIPs and special customers.  Only employees assigned to work the Himitsu Lounge are allowed entry.  

​

Information Brokering
A lively atmosphere filled with drinks, food and beautiful people often time is the perfect place for one to hear the juiciest talk. Whether its of politics, business, or other topics, the information gleaned within the Ochaya's halls is up for sale to the highest bidder. 

​

Members can become involved in this aspect of the FC by letting Leadership know OOCly.  These activities are not publicly known as it would be bad for business.  If you are interested in having your character involved, they will be "introduced" to this side of the FC through IC means.  No one outside of FC and very few within it have knowledge that this goes on.
