Funtom Toys & Sweets
Business Type: Toy and Confectionery Shop
Character's Name: Ciel Phantomhive (Owner) | Gilbert Nightray [retraced] (Manager)
Character Journal: Ciel Phantomhive [littlest_lord] | Gilbert Nightray [retraced]
IC Contact: Ciel's Contact | Gilbert's Contact
Location: Sector 4.
Affiliation: No Affiliation.
Hours of Business: M-F 9:30 A.M. – 6. P.M. Sat&Sun 10:00 A.M. – 5:30 P.M.
Description:
A quaint toy and confectionery shop. The store itself was originally a small house with a large front window Ciel had Sebastian purchase in sector four under Gilbert and Ciel’s names. All the rooms have been cleared out and fixed up to accommodate a bakery and sweets area and an equally large room for various toys and amusements. There’s a kitchen, closed off to staff and also a quaint, but richly decorated sitting room where customers can enjoy their hot or sweet beverages and treats.
The sweets and bakery section is probably the most alluring room of the whole shop - it's filled with various candies and sweets but the center of attention is the freshly baked desserts. Cakes, cupcakes, cookies and pastries - sometimes specifically themed line the glass counter.
As for the toy section walls are lined with toys, many traditional and aimed toward younger children, but there are also elegantly designed chess sets and other board games. It's a colorful and pleasant room.
The décor of the shop is highly Victorian in style which gives it a distinctive feel compared to other shops in the area. Every so often, Funtom picks a new theme and runs with it, producing limited edition toys or plush or sweets to be eaten. The décor inside also reflects these themes and promotions at times.
Job Openings: While there aren’t a slew of openings, there’s always room for more clerk and baker help in the bakery section and in the toy section of the store. Cashiers as well. Gilbert can’t do everything by himself, after all. Even if he thinks he can. The pay is decent, with the potential for raises/holiday bonuses.
The Purgatory, formerly the Lux
Business Type: Cabaret and bar
Character's Name: Gabriel, aka The Trickster (Owner, Proprietor, and Emcee)
Character Journal: painhumbles (
Location: Sector Five
Affiliation: Neutral
Hours of Business: 12pm to 6am
Description: On the outside, it still looks like The Lux, except the awning is now a standard black and the sign on the window is a neon red little number declaring "PURGATORY" in elegant lettering. Walk in and it looks like something ripped off a Fosse set. There's a huge stage with tables set around it and a bar set against the opposite wall. Just off from the tables, in the middle of the floor, is a dance floor for when the performers aren't dedicated to showing you their moves and the audience can get in on the action. Off on the left side is a winding black metal stair case that leads to a second floor, which has a balcony that wraps around the entire building, so anyone allowed up there can see the entire place from on high. Upstairs houses the manager's office, a meeting room, a few dressing rooms for performers, a storage room, and two general dressing rooms for the wait staff- male and female. The upstairs area is off-limits to guests and are purely staff-only. The standard is something that looks like this, only in a more traditional black and white. The bar looks something like this , only… Again in black and white. The club’s color scheme and design, however, change depending on Gabriel (or Jinx’s) mood.
Job Openings: Waiters, bartenders, busboys, cleaning staff, etc. The club doesn't serve much in the way of food, unless you're looking for sweets, so there's a demand for dessert chefs. There's no call for bouncers, because, well, Gabriel is the king of his castle and he makes his own judgment calls when it comes to throwing people out. Performers are also screened and booked on a monthly basis and get paid significantly more than the people who work there full-time. Payroll is just above minimum wage, plus tips for the wait staff and bartenders, and there is a pretty strict dress code for employees. You can thank Jinx for that.
Other Notes: It's also pretty much designed and directed by Gabriel's power, so anything that nullifies abilities IS NOT ALLOWED IN. Conversely, if Gabriel comes in contact with something that can nullify his powers (or if he's killed), the interior reverts back to pretty much whatever it was before Lucifer worked his magic- a standard, old club, nothing fancy, and covered in dust. So if the boss is in trouble, the staff and the customers know it immediately. Despite this, it's Darkness-proofed at all times.
The Wayside Inn
Business Type: Cubby Motel/Convenience Store/Repair Shop (Browning Stop only)
Character's Name: CURRENTLY NPC RUN
Character Journal:
[optional] IC Contact:
Location: The pilot branch is at Browning Stop, but it also has branches at the Hawthorne, Underground Mall, and Grant Stadium stations.
Affiliation: Neutral. It's currently sponsored by the Transport Department as part of an ongoing effort to encourage use of the subway system.
Hours of Business: 24/7
Description: Originally a fairly plain coffin motel, the Wayside Inn has been upgraded to a much more charming establishment, promising "affordable luxury for citydwellers on the go." It's accessible both at street level and subway level (with appropriate anti-Darkness measures taken). In addition to the 'rooms' (which are rented by the hour, discounted the longer you stay) the Inn offers showers (complimentary for stays longer than eight hours, charged by the minute otherwise), laundry services, and hot meals. While individual cubicles are private, there's a common area for mingling and the occasional diversion.
For customers departing during the Darkness, the convenience store attached to the motel offers a selection of arms and ammunition to choose from (at a price, of course) as well as first aid kits. There's enough promotional material around the shop to suggest that there are plans for expansion and more features.
Despite its cozy air, the Inn is fully equipped with surveillance equipment, and the shop assistants are chosen for very particular customer relation skills.
Job Openings: ( Employees whose shift covers the Darkness are paid better, but must demonstrate a clear capacity to defend themselves and the Inn should any emergency come up. Positions available are front desk attendants, janitors, shop assistants, and general service-level positions. An ability to work with machines is a plus. Entertainers will be considered on a case-to-case basis. All potential employees must be personally interviewed by Rin beforehand to determine their suitability.
Other Notes: Absolutely no pets (speaking or otherwise), and the minimum amount of time to rent out one of the 'coffins' is an hour.
Uzushio
Business Type: ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) & onsen (hot springs)
Character's Name: CURRENTLY NPC RUN (AGI)
Character Journal:
IC Contact:

Affiliation: AGI
Hours of Business: 24-hour
Description: link
Job Openings: Hosts, maids and attendants, masseuses, "masseuses", acupuncturists, sushi chefs, cooks, bartenders, security.
Other Notes: Anyone boycotting slave use should avoid Uzushio, as most of the employees are slaves. Also, newcomers get half-off their visit if they request a visit to the "whirlpool room", a passphrase seen on coupons only available at the Tower Apartments.
Violet Systems, Inc.
Business Type: Innovations Development Corporation
Character's Name: Lee Chaolan, President & CEO
Character Journal: excellentviolet (your character's journal name)
[optional] IC Contact: Violet Systems | Lee Chaolan
Location: Sector 2
Affiliation: SERO
Hours of Business: M-F 9am-6pm (regular hours, Lee often works overtime and on weekends as well.)
Description: Violet Systems calls itself an "Innovations Development Corporation" but it specializes in robotics considering that its founder, Lee Chaolan, is a robotics engineer. With recent developments, though, and SERO giving the business an award, the company has expanded to reach into new possibilities.
With that said, the facilities for Violet Systems has expanded as well. On the first floor is the reception area, and consultation rooms for meetings with guests. The testing room is there, too. The second floor is totally devoted to engineering, with all the necessary equipment there. There is also space for company meetings.
Despite its SERO affiliation and the nature of the company, the company building is actually pretty attractive. All white with splashes of violet. The floor is wooden, made out of birch, which gives the facility a cozy feel.
Job Openings: Lee offers jobs for Engineers, Programmers, Testers and a Receptionist/Gofer. Stockholders and part-time consultants interested in contributing to the company are welcome, too. The pay is above-average-- which actually becomes quite hefty if an employee wishes to take advantage of the research/project leader bonus.
Studio Slingsby
Business Type: Photography studio
Character's Name: Run by "Eric Slingsby," Grell Sutcliff's mild-mannered alter ego
Character Journal: deathknellgrell
IC Contact: HERE

Affiliation: Unaffiliated
Hours of Business: noon to 4pm and by appointment.
Description: Portrait, glamour, and fashion. Weddings and other event photography. Vintage black-and-white art photography is a specialty.

Wright & Co Law Offices
Business Type: Law Office (Attorney, Signatory/Solicitor and Consultancy)
Character's Name: Phoenix Wright (co-founder)
Character Journal: lawyerific
IC Contact: HERE
Character's Name: Maya Fey (assistant)
Character Journal: acemedium
IC Contact: HERE
Location: 212 Oxford Row, Sector Four
Affiliation: Neutral/Newcomer affiliated. Supported by the Newcomer Fund.
Hours of Business: Summer: 8.30am-12pm, 1pm-7.30pm, Winter: 8.30am-12pm, 1pm-4.30pm
Description: A small, compact office on the third floor of a purpose built concrete building put up in the eighties. The room is functional, with wide glass windows seperated by vast swathes of plain grey wall. There's no point seeing outside because a much older building - a hotel - stands opposite, cutting off the daylight for most of the day. The narrow alley below, because of the lack of light, suffers a lot from lawlessness, and as a result there are very heavy locks on the door. Unless entered with a key, the office has to be called to buzz open the door on the ground floor. The lift is out of service, and has been since the year it was put up, when the cables were cut and three people died. Behind the door and inside the main office, the scene is drab, cheered up with only a green plant by one of the heavily blinded windows (Phoenix is scared of heights). There are lots of filing cabinets and a very old looking computer on a very tired looking desk. The reception room is filled with bookshelves covered with law books, a plush, comfortable looking sofa, coffee machine and a table with old magazines and newspapers. Clients are made comfortable, the cutbacks only sting the people who work there--that's one of Mia's rules.
Job Openings: The Wright & Co Law Office is open to applications from any defense attorneys, and currently is looking to hire a second clerk. It can offer temporary pay for investigators, but does much of its work charitably, with employees supported by the Newcomer Fund and not afforded much in the way of luxuries.
Other Notes: Wright & Co was founded by Apollo Justice and Phoenix Wright in mid-2010, and currently employs Miss Maya Fey as an assistant. It offers free defense for Newcomers if they find themselves accused of criminal deeds or if they are sued, and free legal advice in other matters including soliciting (residential laws, deeds, wills etc.) As it's supported by a charitable fund, the onus is on the client to in turn support the Newcomer Fund when they are able, rather than being required to pay hefty legal fees.

Other Notes:
Imperial Finance
Business Type: Ostensibly a financial consultancy firm, but the main focus is on illegal money lending.
Character's Name: Yukio Tonegawa
Character Journal: 12second_orz
Location: Moved to the outskirts of Sector 3, on the border of Sector 1
Affiliation: AGI
Hours of Business: Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM. Nonetheless, clients can expect to be called at any time, day or night.
Description: Imperial Finance's new building matches its interior much better: a square grey building with matte silver lettering on the front and (particularly thick) glass windows. The inside is slick and professional, made up of a waiting area and reception, a studiedly tidy office in which consultations are conducted and a back room for files storage, plus a larger staff area with a few couches and a series of desks for his collectors to work from.
The business itself is run like a classic sarakin money lender's, with large amounts of fast, easy money exchanged for high interests rates- expect a discount if you’re allied with AGI. Sometimes the rate may be increased if there’s any chance they could get away with it (like when dealing with a particularly gullible client). The usual shame-and-scare tactics are used to ensure that all money is paid back in a timely manner.
Job Openings: On the off chance that someone with experience in the field comes along, there’s definitely a place for more people to work as loan sharks. Generally, though, there’s always debt collection work for anyone physically intimidating or emotionally manipulative with loose morals. There are also openings for secretarial work.
Heiwausou of Kogakyo (& Underground Loan Sharks)
Business Type: Japanese tea and theater house.
Character's Name: Owned by Yukio Tonegawa but run by an NPC
Character Journal: [Unknown site tag]
Location: Sector 3 upper class, right in the peak on the map, between AGI and SERO territory.
Affiliation: AGI, but flexible in terms of employees
Hours of Business: Monday to Sunday its open 12noon till 12 midnight.
Description: The house looks like this on the outside and like this on the inside with traditional and erotic Japanese art over the walls and paper doors. Here is a place to relax, enjoy Ukyou's Geisha as they preform tea ceremonies and fan dances, you might even be able to hire them out as Geisha, but Ukyou prided himself in looking after his Geisha, so nothing sexual, this isn't a brothel. Most of Ukyou's women are there against their will, some are slaves he bought, others were local whom he kidnapped, though almost every one of them is happy to live in the Heiwausou as they are treat like royalty. It's fairly safe, so long as you're not a machine/robot or someone from SERO snooping about to cause trouble. It can be a little seedy as an underground loan sharks den is run in the basement. For the most part its a relaxing, friendly place to stay.
Job Openings: Tonegawa is currently on the lookout for a Newcomer to take over the running of the place. The Heiwausou is always looking for more Geisha. Bouncers would been needed possibly with Samurai or Shinobi training. Cooks and chiefs could been handy too.
Other Notes: The loan shark business is now an extension of Imperial Finance (see above); the same rules therefore apply.

It is probably one of the safer places to visit - the owner does carry at all times and puts up with NO shenanigans.
