The Bistro down the Street

C’mon everybody, meet me at the quaint little bistro just down the street. Ah, the stories its walls could tell, of hopes lost and luck found. Everyone is welcome there. Dine inside…
…or relax outside in the sun with a cuppa of whatever you fancy.
And if you’re the artistic type, meet kindred spirits in the lounge upstairs.

Allow me to introduce… HT

Name: HT
Age: 26
Born: New York City, USA
Occupation: storekeeper

Just to make this clear, kids, this young man is not a role-model! Whether HT is a true culprit or a victim is not quite known, though.

A few years ago, he was found, drugged into oblivion, in a run-down appartment with a broken window. Below that window, they found the body of a prostitute.
HT claims to be innocent and says he does not even remember what must have been the party of his life. Nothing was found to actually prove his guilt beyond abuse of illegal substances. He served his sentence and after he was set free, could neither find a place to live, nor a job – until he ran into Corvus, who was desperately looking for someone to help him around the [hate this] warehouse.

Corvus doesn’t judge people. For him, the young man smelled about right – which was enough for the Kitteh to hire him and allow him to move into the warehouse.

OOC information:

Originally, [hate this] was founded by two people, Rubicon and me. HT was created as a business account to be used by both of us, but after Rubi left SecondLife, I continued to run the store under my own name. Sometimes, I use HT as a photo model, and while I was having fun with some friends, he got his background story.

Every once in a while I pull him out to run him through a hunt or two, or simply go freebie hunting. And that’s exactly what I did today (and why this post is a bit late).
Through the generous gifts for the Men Only Hunt, HT got a complete makeover today. And while I will admit, the outfit isn’t quite my usual style, I still had a lot of fun putting it together.
