[Heliotrope] Madam Glitterbell's

When one considers that fairy tales are not only spread among the human population, but others as well, then there can be unforeseen consequences.   For example, the tale of the little mermaid was a cautionary tale for mermaids in Outer Fairy until about twenty years ago when some disney dvd's began to leak through Terra.  Not every Earth story leaks over, but the ones that do cause...interesting effects.

It should be noted that Madam Glitterbell's has existed for over twenty centuries, serving Roman Legionaires at the time of Ceasar.  Madam Glitterball is not just a brothel.  Madam Glitterbell is an institution.  Rumor has it that she is half fairy, but no one dares ask what the other half is.  She certainly LOOKS human but seems to be effectively immortal.  The resort exists in the legendary city of Stays In, by the Desert by the Sea.  It has ...well, according to rumor, if you have a Slot A, they have a Tab B.

When Blixie the Mermaid, daughter of the Duke of Baja, saw the DVD of the little mermaid, she was determined to get a prince.  She was convinced that her natural magic would let her get legs, and while this was technically true, it also did not get rid of the pervasive smell of fish.  Fish breath. Fish hair.  And it only got worse as she stayed on land.  Attempting to douse herself in sea water would not help and perfumes were few and far between.

After several months of this, her gold ran out and she desperately returned home, only to find that her father had disowned her.  There are few options for a royal mermaid tainted with the scent of human; and without the magic to remove the smell, there were few that would have her.  Madam Glitterbell was one who would.

Blixie was reluctant to provide these exotic services at first, but when combined with her services as a night singer, she continued to say long after she had successfully paid for the Periapt Against Omega 3.
