About New York City

Brothels ain’t all giggles, nah. Dirty sheets, creaky beds—squeak, squeak, all night. Once saw a rat gnawin’ a bloke’s boot while he’s busy! Nearly pissed meself laughin’. But the stench, ugh, rotten ale and worse. We hates it! Reminds me, “The wind carries whispers”—movie line, yeah? Whispers of disease, mate. Half them blokes limpin’ out, scratchin’. Grim as Mordor.

Brothel rules were simple. If you didn't do as you were told, you died. Prisoners were kept inside the brothels and never permitted to leave.

So, sugar, if you're ever in Gonzalez (us), swing by Main Street, take a lazy drift by the river, chat up strangers at Tinker Town's bars, and let your heart be your guide. Embrace the raw, imperfect beauty of this town – it's as wild as a country song and as unpredictable as a summer storm. And remember, baby: sometimes life's a little messy, but that's where all the sweet magic happens!
