Publicly, the lower-echelon pleasure providers (called whores) are really just courtesans in training. That is true is some cases. In other cases, they are former courtesans who failed to live up to expectations or just short-term employees who won’t be there long enough to learn the techniques.
There are also some who are not there entirely by choice. They are employees who upset a customer or even clients who ran up such a debt that the only way to pay it back was by coming to work for the resort (sometimes for short stints at a time.) Employees are all trained extensively, so Shambhala considers them an investment. The contracts they write require employees to work for them for a period of time to pay back this debt. If they quit or upset a client, then they have to work off the debt in whatever way the management deems fit.
Conveniently, the contracts also include a non-disclosure clause. If they tell anyone, they get risk being made to serve for longer.
You needed some cash. Or you messed up. Whatever the reason, you’re now a whore and there’s no two ways about it. You are told a room number, you go, you have sex with whoever is on the other side and if you’re lucky, they’re nice about it. Sometimes they hurt you, sometimes they do other things.
You just have to make them happy, because if they’re not, you know who will suffer for it. Some of you are aspiring courtesans, and the sessions are excellent ways for you to practice your skills. You learn techniques for reading people, for sensing and responding to moods and you grow accustomed to the idea that your body is for rent.
When you are not in appointments, there are many ways for you to spend your time. Your residence is a simple apartment you share with a fellow whore. The apartment building is a two-story affair that is considered an employee-only area.
Some study in the courtesan classes (which are open to all, even those who don’t plan to actually go that far) some take online college courses, play PS3 in the game room, workout in the gym or just read quietly in the library. Meals are provided in the cafeteria three times a day and while it’s not prepared by the world-renowned chefs employed in the restaurants, it’s nutritious and plentiful.
You are expected to remain in the apartment building area unless in an appointment. You have a pager that tells you if you are needed in an appointment, but the whores are the less pricey merchandise, so the management limits their visibility.
