Topics ,

Smuggling ,

What we sell and how we get it.

The basis of our business deals in the goods we acquire from pirate excursions, and offloading them. You never know what kind of product may find it's way through our doors. Seek us out for what you may need. Those employed with us will often be able to offer you what's fresh on the table, so to speak. There is little we will not sell, or go out of our way to acquire for you. Those with a talent for pirate work, smuggling, or fencing, may want to inquire about work .

Spying ,

Ears to the ground make for better business.

We are always in need of those with a talent for subterfuge. Willing to shake hands and keep an ear out? Willing to barter with information you may not have come across honestly? Ask for oppurtunities in information gathering. We may have a place for you. Charm is the key to this avenue. One must be willing to shake hands with those covered in blood, and find value in the interaction. A little skill with a lockpick may come in handy. Contact us to put your talent to work .

 

Servitude ,

A price paid in tears, sweat, and blood.

Perhaps you find yourself in an impossible situation, with no way out. Running from loan sharks, debts, a life in chains.. have no fear. If you scratch our back, we'll watch yours. A debt is a debt, and one we can pay, and desperation is such a good look on you. Contracts of servitude will be written up after both parties are satisfied with the offer at hand. We do hope you enjoy your time with us. But be careful before signing away your free will, as some of our work is not for the faint hearted, And are you really in a position to refuse?. [terms of arrangement to be discussed thoroughly ooc] .

Escorts ,

Who said business can't be fun .

Business and pleasure go hand in hand . Those trained in the art of charming, and company, are welcome here . It's easier to talk shop with a hand in yours, hm? If you are interested in working for us as an escort, you can expect a yearly salary, protection, and free medical care. Take what clients you wish to , when you wish to, as employment is salary based, and not commission.

 

Torture ,

Actions speak louder than words.

Sometimes words aren't enough. Teaching is a fundamental part of a good business, and good relationships. Hands-on interrogations may be necessary in getting information, or teaching the more important lessons. We value those with a strong stomach , as well as those willing to get their hands dirty . Perhaps you are someone with something to share ? We have a few ways to hold a conversation. Persuasive individuals are high in demand, inquire for further oppurtunities .

Mercenary ,

Those willing to get their hands dirty,

The Springs employs a standing force of mercenaries. We keep them trained, equipped, and ready to handle anything. Whether you're here for the gil, the sport, or the opportunity to hone your skills, we have use for those able to law down the law. Or, lack of it. Those encumbered by a strong sense of morals may be found unfit for our work. Those without such qualms, we welcome you.

Bosses ,

Those who keep the wheel turning.

Structure ,

We operate with three major divisions.
Mercenaries
Intelligence
Research

Mercenaries The Springs Mercenaries act as the Muscle behind the curtain. We operate in a variety of spaces; from security, jobs, to tournament style fighting. We work with our affiliates to fill the gaps as needed, and act in whatever capacity the Springs requires. Be that assassinations, hunts, bodyguarding, contracts and more! We have an ongoing ranking board, where Mercenaries within the company compete for the top spot. Step into the Pits, and find yourself.Underboss: Nanaa ZhwanIntelligence Intelligence is a division that works in the dark, to serve the Springs. If you’re a sneak-thief, if you find it easy at gathering information from someone without giving it away, or are skilled with their tongue to build ties and shut people down. Then this would be a division to become familiar with. The walls have ears, knowledge is power, and secrets can be a form of currency that rivals gil.Underboss: TBDResearch Acquisitions and research are a vital part to the company's aims. If you are someone who thrills in the unknown, or the adventure of exploration, this would be the division to look at. Tomoko Yamagato often leads excursions into the unknown, or dangerous, to further the company. Discretion is required, and danger is expected.Underboss: Echo Lotus

 

Underboss: Nanaa ZhwanDivision: Mercenaries
Suneater
A Seeker hailing from Dalmasca with a less than gracious social bearing. Nanaa revels in all manner of things befitting a mercenary from such a blood soaked land. Be it drinks, lasciviousness or violence, she stomps from one end of the Star to another with a swagger that seems simply unfounded once she opens her mouth. Though despite coarse words and even coarser gestures, Nanaa has aptitude in all manner of things, be it navigating across the sky in an airship to making you forget all those crude words blatantly said with a whispered phrase meant for you and you alone. Nanaa is a woman of multitude, a gift, a curse and all ours.

Underboss: Echo LotusDivision: Research
"Suited Gravitas"
A woman some deem to be professional, others crass and brutish. A woman who defines presence to many, and to others, blind ambition. A master of many blades and keen to the occult, Echo Lotus leads Research with one ambition in mind-service with a smile, cruelty with conviction, and results with realization. With a background in artifact acquisition, storage, and maintenance; Echo brings a level of corporate execution to criminal enterprise.

Underboss: Yuyu NiahDivision: Intelligence
Interlude
Although Yu holds her title as boss, she has taken over the operations of intelligence for time being. Until a suitable candidate reveals themselves, she will operate with the information crucial to this business, and hone the skill of those underneath her.
Information is vital to the security of the Family, and will be entrusted to those who earn it.

A confident smirk and rough and tumble attitude. He shows charm, wit, and even a keen fashion sense in presenting himself to others. Perhaps, if you're brave enough, you might find yourself under the charm of that rough but sharp-minded man.

Bartenders

“Mer” the Travelling Merchant

Not much is known about this Seeker of sunny disposition except that she showed up on the Spring’s doorstep one day, sent by friends of friends in the Blooming Lotus.Gentle and lively, this Gyr Abanian is ready to craft the drinks of your dreams. She’s passionate about gil and the tradesman’s arts, eager to explore new experiences even if her concoctions sometimes have explosive results. You didn’t need your arms there did you?No worries! For the right price Mer has another drink to make it all better again.

Caelric Spades

A former Decurion of the Imperial army, Caelric's reputation amongst the 13th Legion is one of chaos, infamy, and begrudging respect for those aware of his service history.His reputation around Eorzea? Arguably worse. Strategically impulsive and shameless to a fault, he's a bastard of the highest order who occasionally enjoys pissing people off as a means of casual entertainment, while perverse humor and sharp wit mask the man's more complex and analytical nature.With the body of a brute, the mind of a machine, and the resolve of a one-man-army, he poses a unique threat to those most willing to underestimate him. It's probably a good thing he's only around to serve drinks.

Cocktails

NameAttributesSide Effect
Blind CourageWho can be scared if you can't see anything? A potent if not flavorful mix of Rum, Gin, and Brandy. Along with a bit of Orange and Lemon juice and a bit of Almond syrup to bring the flavors together. Once the drink is shaken, a bit of Sherry is floated onto the drink for extra kick and that final push to do what needs to be done. Two of these and you'll be braver and blinder that a red chocobo wearing a sleep mask.+1 Bravery
Soured ApparitionA Kugane plum wine leads the charge for this drink that's sure to stout the mind and harden the heart. With soda water, Grenadine, Lemon juice and peel, and an Apple slice to garnish - the Soured Apparition brings the comfort to one's to brave the unknown, and be unknowingly brave. They say ingenuity comes from the mind - we say it comes from the Soured Apparition. Just remember, the first breakthrough of the night will be tasting this drink.+1 Inspiration
Last WordFor those wanting to keep their edge as they indulge. complex, sophisticated, daring. Gridanian Gin mixed with Chartreuse - a secret recipe of over a hundred herbs and flowers- with Cherry and Lime. What you might pick up on is entirely subject to what you can perceive- though those with a keener sense may note Ginseng, known to increase mental alertness.+1 Perception
The Long RoadThavnarian Tequila, Orange liqueur, a hint of tarragon, all topped with a hint of Passionfruit. A touch of spice from a dragon Pepper garnish.Alcoholic
Dead Man's HandFor those that like to indulge in things dark, sweet, and bad for you: 2 onzes of bittersweet Chocolate are heated in a liqueur glass with an oz of milk, and a tbsp of Brown Sugar until melted. 1.5 oz of chocolate Liqueur, followed by 1 oz of Spiced Rum, and creme are layered on top. The rim is crowned by a ring of dark chocolate syrup, and dipped in Espresso powder and further garnished with chocolate shavings, and more syrup if desired.Alcoholic
