《Welcome to the Upward Bound System!》Night on the town, Chp. 7
Advertisement
Dante and his parents departed the Inn, which he found out the name of which was, The Crystalfoot Inn. They walked the streets taking in the city's sites. They saw many interesting creatures and met many interesting people but that is a story for a little later.
His father and him were growing a bit bored as all the while his mother was busy browsing clothes to come back for later. It just so happened that Dante looked out the window and saw a sign that peaked his interest immediately. It read, "Brothel Alley".
Seeing a chance to aleviate their boredom, he grabbed his dad indicating for him to keep quiet and then pointed to the sign he had spotted. It only took his father a moment to find the sign and a new flame burned in his eyes. His father smiled then nodded and walked over to Dante's mother, "Hey honey." "Yes dear."
"Me and Dante are going to go look around together. Why don't you find something really nice and we can come back for it in a day or two." Laura, Dante's mother, smiled and stated, "I'll hold you to that and i'm going to make it very expensive." She said as she raised her eyebrows. Frank, turned back to Dante for a moment who simply gave him two thumbs up for assurance. Frank turned and said, "Whatever you want dear."
He and his father walked out of the store, not too slowly or too fast. As they did not wish to arouse her suspicion.
Laura who had seen the sign on the way in knew it was only a matter of time until they spotted it. She knew her husband would be faithful, and she knew her son had no girlfriend. She began moving toward the back of the midsized shop. Where the more expensive items were.
Frank and him continued down the long street taking in the sights. What caught Dante's eye was two large three story buildings, of more modern appearances, standing right next to each other. On the right was, The Golem Menagerie, and on the left was, The WorkHorse.

Each letter in the sign for the Golem menagerie appeared in varying different colors and patterns. While the Work Horse had a hammer moving back and forth striking a chisel that almost appeared to be carving the W of the sign.
Dante pointed it out to his father who readily agreed to go in, but stated, "If i don't like it I will walk out and let you do you." Dante simply nodded as he thought about a gold coin appearing in his hand, and so one did. "Where did you get that?" His father asked, "It was a special reward from the system. I have 85 gold. That might cover a good bit of her purchases, or very little. We can find out later. We need to start making money sooner or later though."
Frank placed his hands upon Dante's shoulder's and stated, "You have no idea how much I love you right now. As a father." He offered his father a warm smile.
Out of curiosity he began inspecting the golden coin to see if it had what he needed. On one side appeared to be the face of Virgil, a golden, vaguely humanoid figure. On the opposite side there was an ornate symbol he could not decipher.
'It will work well enough.' Dante thought as he flipped the coin into the air. Catching it with little issue he found it to be heads. "Left it is, and if we don't like that one we'll try the right. Don't like that one either, we move one." He stated to his father. He replied, "Sounds like a plan." Dante stowed the coin away where it had come from.
Together they walked into the WorkHorse.
The main room of what turned out to be a shop was not exactly what he had expected, aside from seemingly being empty of any other people. There were large and small dildos every variety to the left side of the store. On the right side of the store were what Dante could only describe as, "Fleshlights!"

There was the sound of shifting from behind the counter. A tall four armed man of midnight skin stood up from behind the counter. He looked like a more realistic enderman from minecraft. He was bald with emerald green eye's much like his own, except instead white around his eyes it was grey.
He wore a large bloody apron and leathers, that looked equal parts made for a butcher and a craftsman. Due to all the pockets and tools he saw on it.
His voice was almost like several people speaking in unison. Like a small choir, with a slight french accent. "Ah my first customers! Please come in, come in!" He said whilst motioning with his right top arm. Dante and his father approached the counter as the towering 8 foot figure of the, for lack of a proper term, enderman, leaned over the counter. "What can i do for you two? I.." He had begun to motion towards the dildo's before something gleamed in his eye's.
"My apologies, it took me a moment to see you were father and son." "It's fine. Can you please explain your business and maybe the one over that way." Dante asked as he pointed his thumb right to the Golem's menagerie. It was then that he noticed the empty doorway connecting the two buildings.
The shopkeeper turned to his left, the right of the entrance of the store. "Ah you are interested in my other business?" That increased Dante's interest in this already interesting place. "Yeah, so you own both, that's pretty cool. Can you tell us about your businesses?" Dante asked. A bit of excitement finding its way into his voice.
"Here in this building I sell what is behind you in addition to, how should I say, larger items. This building you see, it extends all the way onto the next street over. However on that side, the name you would find is the Walking Corpse."
"I'm leaving." Dante's father stated plainly, but was held back by Dante grasping his arm, "Do you mean its the place that buys the corpses of monsters by chance?" Dante asked, trying to make a reason for his father to stay.
"The very same! Where do you think i get my inventory from?" Dante released his grip allowing his father to step back from the counter without saying a word.
As the shopkeeper's words ran through his mind. Then it hit him. "Flesh golems! That must mean that...OH my!" Dante exclaimed as he turned to look back at the very large variety of very realistic toys for sale.
"Explain please Dante." His father asked of him. "This guy turns..." He paused for a moment as he walked over to a 4 foot tall, 1 and a half foot wide reptilian phallus, clearly labeled, Dragon's Pride. "He takes the dicks and stuff off of monsters and magically makes them all shiny and new again. Cuts them off and places them in these enchanted containers to keep them alive." Date said as he motioned down toward the large metallic cylinder from which the phallus emerged.
"Ok...What's..." Dante's father and him watched as a tall figure walked by the empty doorframe. It was a female equitaur? The same kind of horse minotaur he had seen earlier. Dante's father's mind swam with the possibilities as he realized just what this guy did for a living. He could not deny it to himself, he was impressed. 'Why am I even surprised a place like this exists?' Dante's father thought.
