BACKGROUND: Jimmy hasn't been in Dead End long but the Red Light District already feels like home to him. The folks at the Dark Rose Detective Agency and the Rub One Out Parlor are family. And Jimmy helps Family. On the face of it, the sex shop will be precisely what it advertises to be : A sex shop with a no-questions-asked photography / videography studio attached. But the goal is not just to sell sex toys or videos but to become a "one stop shop for all your sexual fantasies" as well as support both the DRDA and the Rub-one out parlor by expanding their clientele (or in Lyss's case, employee base as well). And this is just the start. More details in following sections.

UNIQUE: The Spunk R Us is a legitimate business of course and will operate as such. Sex toys, Bondage gear, Fetish wear, Porn along with discrete photography and videography services upstairs. All quite above the board. The differentiator is that Jimmy knows people. And people who know people. And of course will introduce his employees to the same. Looking for a specialized restraint? Don't worry. It may take a little time but we will get it for you. Looking for information on how to convince a certain sweetheart to go out on a date with you? Don't worry. the Spunk R Us Clerks will be more than happy to help. Or if you have simpler needs and just want a blowjob, the Spunk R Us will be happy to deliver a whore to you. Note that the reason the scope appears to be so large is because the Spunk R Us is not really doing all the work themselves. They are taking a comission off the top in return for shielding you from the people who really do the work. At present, this is mainly the folks at the DRDA and the Rub-One-Out Parlor though I am always looking for more RP connections. This business model allows the Spunk R Us to mitigate risk as well. The cops wouldn't find anything besides a worn-out diary with names and numbers should they randomly raid. If they get put in the leg-work and time it right however, they might find everything upto a full-fledged orgy upstairs.

EXPERIENCE:I have been roleplaying for more than five years on second life. Of those, I have spent more than 3 years as roleplay mentor and SIM administrator (Before you ask, not in DE or CD). Jimmy of course is an incarnation I made specifically to fit into the darker shadier world of Dead End. I understand how roleplay works and how to bring diverse people together into common storylines. Jimmy's character as one who specializes in gathering information by "any means necessary" has actually allowed me to do so with multiple people across SIM. The Spunk R Us is just taking the roleplay one step further and disseminating the information back to the community as well. Specifically, I see it as a means to foster increased RP Cooperation by allowing the not-so-dark segments of the Dead End Community to get access to information and services provided by the truly dark.

IDEAS:The business I am applying for appears to be a SIM owned business. So the ideas I am mentioning here are just from the props I already see on the property and Jimmy's own RP background. Roleplay is fluid and a product of imagination (both yours and mine) so this is by no means an exhaustive list. Items / Services on sale : 1. Sex Toys & Bondage Gear 3. Lingerie & Fetish wear 4. Pornographic Books & Videos Very little of the above items will actually be on display. We at the Spunk R Us believe in "personal" service. Most goods will be available as part of a catalog at the counter. If the goods you are interested in are in stock, perhaps you can convince the cute little salesperson to give you a little demonstration or help you try on the same. We aim to please. 5. Room / Videography equipment on rent Anyone can rent the videography equipment and the room upstairs for your own nefaroius or not so nefarious purposes. Whether you are recording or not is totally upto you. The management will turn a blind eye to what goes on in there as long as no one's getting killed. They will also (for the right price) turn a blind eye should you feel like 'waiting' in the office though you don't need to specify what you are waiting for. 6. Photography and videography services Additionally, the Spunk R Us will also contract with photographers and videographers (Yes I am looking at you Sara) as required to provide end-to-end services for anyone desiring the same. Specifically, Jimmy wouldn't mind 'helping' young actresses / models who are just getting off the ground. Rest assured, no one's maintaining a copy to blackmail you into prostitution and no one's forcing you to do anything you would rather not. The drug in your coffee before you get started is merely to help you loosen up. 7. Behind the counter stuff - On request 7.1 Escorts 7.2 Professional dominants / submissives 8. Behind the counter stuff - For trusted customers only 8.1 Potions / Drugs 8.2 Fantasy kidnap / Rape services 9. Outright criminal behind the counter stuff - For REALLY trusted and RICH customers only 9.1 Slave training (voluntary or involuntary) 9.2 A 'blind' (and helpless) date 9.3 Whatever YOUR imagination can come up with None of the above services (7,8,9) will be provided directly by the Spunk R Us. The Spunk R Us is a legitimate business after all. However, a little phone number here, a little blind eye there in return for a commission and voila. All of a sudden you have a one stop shopping experience for all your sexual fantasies. The fact that the property itself may be used to cater to diverse sexual fantasies is an added plus of course. Nor should you be surprised if some of the salesgirls offer to suck your cock or lick your pussy as the case may be. I already have contacts for almost all the above. As I mentioned earlier however, the goal of RP is cooperation not competition. We are all here to write an engaging novel one post a time. If you have existing roleplay that involves any of the above, I will be happy to rope you in as one more of Jimmy's 'contacts'. This applies even if you are from cross cutting factions. You just may be a bit lower in the Spunk R Us catalog is all. Of course, if you outright threaten the Spunk R Us or any of the businesses he is affiliated with, that picture will be quick to change as well. That's roleplay. As far as new players go, there are both employment opportunities and "employment" opportunities. I personally gravitate towards extended storylines instead of short scenes and so I would encourage new roleplayers both signing up for my business and/or just visiting (voluntarily or not so voluntarily) to get involved in the same. I have mentored both ICly and OOCly. For the purposes of DE however, I intend to teach by example and through IC means unless I feel something really needs OOC involvement.

OTHER:Since I see the topic of events brought up in almost every proposal I am going to expand on the same here. The Spunk R Us is a sex shop yes... But that does not mean it should hide in the shadows. The best place to hide is in plain sight. Not to mention, visitors means potential customers and customers mean money. Given the venue limitations however, I am mainly thinking of either collarborating with other businesses in the area. Or hosting a fetish block party - perhaps with a different theme each month (BDSM, Leather, Latex, ideas anyone?). The Spunk R Us will offer costume / equipment discounts in the weeks leading up to the event to promote RP surrounding the event as well and not just the event itself. The grand re-opening would just be an instance of one such event.
