Casa Dourada

Their building is the most visually distinctive on the Red Velvet Strip. Their workers are the most recognizable faces in District 7. Their services are listed on a publicly accessible price board at the entrance. There is no subtlety here.

Casa Dourada is a brothel. They are explicit about this. The price board at the entrance lists every service, every available worker, and every relevant detail. No euphemism, no pretense. Their founding principle: the transaction is honest, the consent is absolute, and the experience is worth every Lumen. Workers set their own limits, availability, and rates within the house structure.

Founded and run by Beatriz Carvalho, who enforces a strict comfort-first policy for her staff and has permanently banned clients for misconduct.

Cultural Identity

Distinctly Brazilian aesthetic: warm gold and deep green color palette, carnival-influenced decoration that manages to feel luxurious rather than garish, and an organizational culture built around the idea that pleasure is a legitimate and honorable profession deserving of genuine craft. Warmth that is immediate and unselfconscious, spectacular visual presentation treated as a professional standard, and a worker culture built around mutual support and collective pride.

The Estrelas

The six named workers who form the house's most recognized roster:

• Dona Marta — The Veteran. Books as often for conversation as for anything else. The person newer workers go to when they need advice.
• Esmeralda — The Showstopper. Commands every room she enters. The highest rate and most limited availability in the house.
• Sombra — The Quiet One. Communicates through touch and expression. Beatriz considers her the most technically skilled worker in the house.
• Florzinha — The Sweetheart. Most consistently booked worker in the house. Her warmth is completely genuine, which is her most valuable asset.
• Aoi — The Professional. Clinical, precise, delivers exactly what was agreed. Nothing more, nothing less.
• Carnaval — The Celebration. Every session is treated as a personal festival. Not for clients who want quiet.

Known Relationships

• Valeria Nocturne: The only person in District 7 Beatriz treats as a genuine peer. Unspoken territorial respect and an equally unspoken agreement not to push questions neither wants answered.
• De Wachters: Formal security consultation arrangement for high-risk client situations. Rarely invoked and always effective.
