The Golden Bull

by Paladinltd

”What? Don’t look at me like that!”
– Hel Tripol, proprietor

”Absolutely disgusting! Even worse than the Requiem and they cater to the dead!”
- Yume Sukuchi, local resident.

The Golden Bull, despite its glorious name, is a nondescript building residing next to the Red Cat. There are no glorious poets or beautiful concubines to attend to the patrons, who for the most part are grubby, lower class, often-married ruffians who desperately try to hide their faces from any stranger visiting their strange little corner of heaven.

The Golden Bull was established by Hel Tripol, a former farmer and business prodigy, who knew there was a certain desire for the more… bovine tastes. He has made a quite a hill of jade and is quite happy despite the fact his wife and children have left him. He has made so much money, in fact, that he has been able to hire a God-Blooded serving girl, Cattlena, who bears a striking resemblance to the bovine that the Bull is known for.

The least colorful brothel, let alone house, along the entirety of The Avenue of Enigmatic Philosophy, Hel has provided for the privacy of his customers who have no desire to be seen at such a… distinct locale by buying the house next to it and connecting the two through a secret tunnel. Known as the Purple Mouse and run by Hel’s cousin, it is seen as an ordinary brothel, though there seems to be strange goings-on in there at night.

Rumors

• Hel Tripol is a Zenith Anathema; hence the name "Golden Bull".
• Darkallee Krace is alive and well and has taken up residence within the Golden Bull (though he has yet to partake of the “pleasures” within).

Secrets

• Cattlena is the daughter of Ahlat, and is using the brothel to focus more worship to him in the east.

Comments

Hmm... is there any reason to have that Zenith there, besides the naming coincidence? It seems kind of bland to have one of the ~150 Solars - mighty heroes of Creation - dedicate his life to cattle whoring. It would make more sense if he had some other agenda going on. Or maybe if the place was named after a Zenith who was off doing something else. *shrugs* That's just my opinion, though. -Everyl

You do have a point. I really should think out what I'm doing before I write something. Revisions coming soon. - Paladinltd

Also ... well, not to put too fine a point on it ... but if I were Ahlat, I'd be seriously pissed about humans raping cattle. Maybe Cattlena's also trying to destroy the brothel. Incidentally, please remember to make phantom NexusProject entries into subpages rather than top-level pages.

Don't know if he'd mind it too much. Its not as if the cows would actually care (I've seen men shove their arm up a cows ass as far as their elbow!) and it is attracting a least a bit of worship, albiet strange and disgusting. - Paladinltd
