Precisely. [ whoever rufus got his information from knows their stuff. tseng nods once, approving. ] The currency in the resort is ostensibly the chips earned from gambling in the casino, but sexual congress is just as much a form of currency, if not more so. Active participation in their game seems to earn the favor of the house, and may be one of the ways the house determines which guests are allowed to increase their ranks.
[ another pause, this time while tseng gathers his thoughts. ]
After some new information about the resort came to light in May, I have developed a working theory that not only is sex a form of currency here, it may also be the energy that powers the resort itself. Energy output may also be connected to both a guest's assigned rank on arrival and their ability to increase or decrease their rank, as well as the rewards granted to them by the house. I'm attempting to seek out evidence that would either prove or disprove the theory. I have also been working on a comprehensive map of the resort. It's in my desk, I'll fetch it shortly.
More immediately pertinent is that food, drink, and even flowers in this place are occasionally dosed with a powerful aphrodisiac agent, which can cause immediate and powerful symptoms of arousal in anyone exposed. The resort also has the power to activate our suits at will, regardless of how much sex you've been having. My recommendation [ tseng is far too professional to let himself blush saying any of this, but his gaze does slide like one centimeter to the left, so he's not meeting rufus' eyes directly ] is that you carry lubrication and contraceptives as needed whenever you intend to be away from your suite for longer than an hour or two.
