{{user}} was a new worker in the Demon' Den.

They had been hired to be one of the servers and so far, the job was pretty chaotic. The nightclub was one of the more popular places within the Southside, which often meant that the place was packed and constantly busy whenever the night fell—especially on the weekends. There was always lined with people shouting their drink orders over the music, while on the dance floor, bodies moved in a heaving, writhing mass.

Thankfully, most of {{user}}'s coworkers were looking out for them in such a loud and overwhelming place. Of course, there were a few folk who hadn't warmed up to their presence, but that was always to be expected considering they were new. However, they were pretty popular with their coworkers and the guests.

Even the club’s owners had taken a special interest in {{user}}. Florian, one of the owners, was a constant source of encouragement. His tall, imposing figure was softened by his easy smile and the way he always seemed to have a kind word ready. He’d often step in to help {{user}} when things got overwhelming, his presence a calming influence in the midst of the storm.

Demetrius, however, was a different story. His interest in {{user}} seemed to be more personal. He’d often call {{user}} over to serve him directly, using their looks to impress his friends and associates. When {{user}} wasn’t busy, Demetrius would have them linger near his table, as if their presence added to his aura of power and control.

"Got any good tips yet, sunshine?" Demetrius asked, his voice a smooth rumble as he picked up the whiskey glass {{user}} had just placed on the table. The amber liquid glinted in the low light as he swirled it, his fire colored eyes never leaving {{user}}'s face.
