The Perfumed Pleasure Garden

In honour of the Feast of the Exceptional Rose, Mrs Plenty has decreed an Oriental pleasure garden. Well, what she considers an Oriental pleasure garden might be like. Apparently they had sideshows and a food stall. The 'Turks' have Manchurian pigtails and the 'Hindoo Philosopher' is wearing a fez. A small group waves placards protesting at the decadence of it all.

Enjoy the decadence

Relax on a chaise longue. Enjoy the perfumed smoke and music. Try a hookah. Appreciate the dancers. Isn't this what life's all about?
Unlocks: 1 x Carnival Ticket

Reward spoiler

Pleasing if inauthentic

The chaise longue may usually reside in Mrs Plenty's parlour. The musicians are more used to fiddles than sitars. Still, the garden is enjoyable enough and you pass an hour or two in hazy pleasure. The smoke stings your eyes a little, but you will sleep soundly tonight.

Hedonist increase
Scandal increase
Nightmares decrease

Unlucky spoiler 2012

What did you expect?

The dancers are more enthusiastic than skilled. There is warm beer to drink. The cushions are lumpy and the hookahs overpowering. The garden is enjoyable enough, even so, but the chanting of the protestors outside floats through the air and curdles the atmosphere.

Scandal increase

Join the protest

The crowd of protesters is small but earnest. They are aghast at the shocking lack of decorum on display at the pleasure garden.

Reward spoiler

Down with…

Down with this manner of behaviour! Scripture strongly discourages dancing in diaphanous silks! There should be a law against throbbing rhythms!
 
The rhetoric is heartfelt and some of the protesters are eloquent. One must be careful, however. The Masters are known to be uneasy about anything that upsets trade. Even this sort of trade.

Reward spoiler

An exceptional hoax

It is a fake. A really good fake. How they squeezed that child into that velvet rose you'll never know. He does put on a sterling performance, though. He'll go far on the stage. Seeing that you are about to expose them, the carnies buy your silence with a roll of tickets.
Watchful increase

Lucky spoiler

What a performance!

You dance. You whirl. You writhe. All eyes follow you around the garden, spiced smoke in your wake. Collars are loosened. Ladies swoon. Gentlemen swoon too. Jealous spouses castigate. They love you.

Unlucky spoiler

Pleasing some of the people

The crowd at the pleasure garden loved your performance. Well, most of them did. Your dancing became a little exotic for some of them, but things were going so well until the protesters charged you en masse. Some people have no appreciation for art or beauty.
