An escort is a person who works in the red-light industry (sex work). Specifically, an escort is a person who offers companionship and sexual services in exchange for money to customers, referred to as ''johns'' or ''janes'' depending on gender. Escorts can themselves be of any gender, but the vast majority are typically humans and halflings. (See [[Escort#Youkai and escort work|this section]] for details.)
+
An escort boss is the leader of an [[escort|escort]] ring.
  
−
The term ''escort'' is synonymous and partially interchangeable with ''prostitute''. Escorts consider that prostitution is specifically the sexual aspect of their job and that the word "prostitute" does not fully encompass the range of services they can offer, which ranges from simple companionship to advanced sexual services.
+
A ''pimp'' is a male escort boss, whereas a ''madam'' is a female escort boss. Alternative terms include ''ringleader'' (because they run an ''escort ring''), ''zebra'' or ''Mr./Mrs. Stripes'' (after the zebra-patterned clothes they commonly wear).
  
−
There are two broad categories of escort work; independent and organized.
+
Most of the duties of an escort boss are managerial. Their jobs include providing food, shelter and safety for their subordinates, arranging meetings between customers and their escorts, organizing special events and offers, managing the ring's finances, and setting the cut they take from each subordinate (can vary greatly, ranging from 15% to 75%). Rarely, escort bosses perform sex work of their own, depending on age, physical condition, and popularity.
  
−
Organized escorts are the most common. An organized escort works for an ''escort ring'', led by a [[Escort boss|boss]] (pimp or madam). They usually work within a designated area; usually a single town. Large rings may operate in larger geographic areas. An organized escort must pay a percentage of their earnings (ranging from 15% to 75%) to their boss in exchange for protection and fulfillment of basic needs, usually [[food]] and shelter. Most escort rings are themselves subordinate to a gang or criminal organization, generally for the purpose of protection.
+
The majority of escort bosses are themselves subordinate to a gang or criminal organization, particularly if their brothel is located in a town controlled by such an organization. These organizations themselves take a cut from the rings under their control, in exchange for guaranteeing their safety, providing heavily-armed security and threatening misbehaving customers and competing rings with violent retribution.
  
−
Independent escorts are rarer. They do not work within a ring and therefore have no bosses, usually working alone or in small teams of 2-4 escorts. Being independent allows them to keep 100% of their earnings, but they are fully responsible for their own safety and protection. Independent escorts generally have more freedom, usually operating in a designated area or adopting the ''itinerant escort'' business model, travelling between towns and intersections, and selling their services "in passing", using the temporary nature of their stay as a selling point.
+
The Yatela Crime Syndicate is in control of the majority of all escort bosses in the Mazes, and are known for being extremely aggressive towards rings that refuse to submit to them. In turn, independent escort rings are fairly rare, small, and usually far removed from the Syndicate's influence.
−
 
+
−
Many escorts work in a [[strip club]], where they are also expected to perform strip dances and keep company to customers who request the "host/hostess" or "girlfriend/boyfriend" experiences. It is customary for escorts to push their customers to bring alcoholic drinks to share, [[valuable]] gifts (especially [[jewelry store|custom jewelry]]), or to go for one of the more expensive club services.
+
−
 
+
−
The [[Yatela Crime Syndicate]] is thought to possess the largest network of escort rings. They are known for their aggressiveness towards competing networks and independents, usually harassing or attacking their customers, coercing them into assimilation into the Syndicate's own network, or driving them out of business through more violent methods. This campaign of domination of the escort industry - nicknamed ''Operation Toss The Pineapples'', referencing the stereotypically unpopular pineapple pizza - is thought to have begun in [[History of the Mazes|E7-694]]. Within 2 years, the Syndicate gained control of a majority of escort bosses across the Mazes and managed to successfully suppress legitimate youkai escort businesses, virtually driving all of them out of existence.

The costs of an escort's services vary greatly. They can be defined by an escort or fixed by their boss or organization, and they can be fixed prices for specific acts, or hourly rates.

Typical prices (organized escort working for the Syndicate) for each service:

* Companionship (may be variously referred to as ''the girlfriend/boyfriend experience'', ''friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/etc. for hire'' and other similar euphemisms): [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''50''' for an afternoon, [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''250''' for a full 24 hours. Light touching and kissing usually allowed but sex acts cost extra.

** Certain escorts may offer a more expensive "all-inclusive" package with fewer restrictions. These can cost several thousands of [[Parallars]] and last for several days.

Although strictly speaking, youkai escorts ''can'' exist, they are virtually impossible to find. As part of the Yatela Crime Syndicate's ''Operation Toss The Pineapples'', the Syndicate consistently harassed and drove youkai rings out of business, often with extreme violence and prejudice, to delegitimize youkai sex work and ensure the Syndicate's control over the industry. The term "pineapple" was briefly known as an underground euphemism for a youkai escort.

+
−
Today, youkai sex services are confined to youkai communities, inside of secret, exclusive clubs that do not openly advertise their services. These clubs are reserved for a curated selection of customers who are usually sworn to secrecy, to protect the escorts' names and identities. Breaking a club's rule of silence is generally punished by death, and retribution is believed to be carried out by Youkai Nation activists.

An escort boss is the leader of an escort ring.

A pimp is a male escort boss, whereas a madam is a female escort boss. Alternative terms include ringleader (because they run an escort ring), zebra or Mr./Mrs. Stripes (after the zebra-patterned clothes they commonly wear).

Most of the duties of an escort boss are managerial. Their jobs include providing food, shelter and safety for their subordinates, arranging meetings between customers and their escorts, organizing special events and offers, managing the ring's finances, and setting the cut they take from each subordinate (can vary greatly, ranging from 15% to 75%). Rarely, escort bosses perform sex work of their own, depending on age, physical condition, and popularity.

The majority of escort bosses are themselves subordinate to a gang or criminal organization, particularly if their brothel is located in a town controlled by such an organization. These organizations themselves take a cut from the rings under their control, in exchange for guaranteeing their safety, providing heavily-armed security and threatening misbehaving customers and competing rings with violent retribution.

The Yatela Crime Syndicate is in control of the majority of all escort bosses in the Mazes, and are known for being extremely aggressive towards rings that refuse to submit to them. In turn, independent escort rings are fairly rare, small, and usually far removed from the Syndicate's influence.
