One score ago,
Doctor Alexei Guskov scored one night with Daniela Jenice, some skanky gypsy with nothing better to do than make Persian rug angels with men who thought she was pretty. She had other things to do, like run a medicinal herbal storefront, but she was never very good at controlling herself when a cute customer came her way, especially one like Alexei. He had just the right amount of madness in him; and for the most part, he's left her baby girl Gustava alone.
In the end, though, Daniela taught Gustava ("Gus") the practice of phytomedicine. It was a pretty indoctrinated style of mothering, but she needed the extra hands and throwing her own kin onto the street seemed almost as crazy as her father. If the crows didn't pick her to pieces, first, the wolves would have devoured her. Besides,
The Atrium was a thriving business-front and made a great face for her illicit dealings. There was no sense in gypping Gus the luxury of the trade.
The life wasn't half-bad. It was probably considered
good considering the scenery. Sure,
The Atrium has always had odd-ball employees come-and-go as time passed. Yes, some of the character were more unusual than the others, but all of them had their own unique touch that Daniela had no qualms about portraying proudly in the shop, even after they had left. Gus even picked up some interesting tips from the people who came and went; not all of the tips have been extremely interesting or exciting. Although, Gus could easily attest to having a higher sense of curiosity and a stomach (from her father) to go with it.
The current odd-ball employee at
The Atrium is
Lian Lan. She's upped the security units around
The Atrium, to say the least, which has evidently lead to a little more backroom activities that the GM has yet to disqualify from the game-play. Basically, business is booming.
