Duties and Rights of the House Security
Rights:
- Gaubert has the master key for every place apart from the offices, the vault and the laboratory.
- If any of the aforementioned places (offices, vault, laboratory) are found barged in without authorization, open or ransacked, every member of Home Security has the right to enter and investigate what happened. It would be ideal to find the culprit, capture them or kill them. 
- For what entails enforcing the House rules, Home Security has the right to respond to violence with violence. 
- If anyone is found trying to sneak in by the windows, the main door or any other way, Home Security has the right to rely on violence.
- If a client or a patron of the brothel bothers the girls, causes a ruckus and doesn't want to leave, Home Security has the right to rely on violence.
- If a straggler person is found entering the private areas such as the kitchen, the private corridor, the private bathroom and the living room on the second floor, it's reccommendable to ask them to leave. If they don't oblige, violence can be relied upon.
- For what concerns the inhabitants of the house, if Home Security witnesses a brawl between residents, violence can be used in order to sedate it. 

- If a resident threatens another resident and is about to use violence, Home Security has the right to respond with violence.
Duties:
- Home Security has the duty to protect and assist Dwassyith, Xihsa'li and Norien with anything that is requested and required. 

- If someone has to be killed for whatever reason Dwassyith reckons worthy of death, Home Security has the duty to assist in making it happen.
- Home Security has the duty to report of every altercation (be it minor or major) to the Head of Security. Alternatively, they can report directly to Dwassyith or Xihsa'li, should the Head of Security be unavailable at that time.

Front Door
There are always two Roegadyn males standing outside and in front of the front door. They alternate shifts with two others, between dayshift and nightshift. The Security at the door always collects the weapons of every guest coming in, and they return them once the guest is about to leave. The weapons are being kept in an armoury inside the establishment. Sometimes the guards may search guests with a more thorough body inspection, in cases where there is suspicion of hidden weaponry on their person.

Basement - The Red Hibiscus
The basement is where the Red Hibiscus brothel is, and it's the only part of the house that is up for free loitering for guests. The basement sees bartenders, waitresses, bouncers and dancers NPCs working in it, so even if they aren't actively played, you can safely assume that they exist in the background. The brothel opens from the evening hours till late at night. It extends to dawnlight during the weekends.
Underneath the staircase of the basement there is a locked and reinforced door commonly referred to as 'The Vault'. No information is provided over what the Vault exactly is, and the only one having the keys to open the door is Dwas.

First Floor - Living Quarters
The first floor is composed of corridor, kitchen, laboratory and private bathroom. Guests aren't allowed to loiter in this part of the house, unless they have to reach the private chambers (either for dancer services or to visit the private room of a resident of the house). Under these circumstances, guests must be escorted by a resident of the house to the entrance of the private chambers. They aren't to be let unattended and free to roam around the first floor.
The kitchen is where the residents can find food free for consumption. The food expenses are on the Black Hand, and so is the 'rent' of the residents' lodging. 
The laboratory is always locked, and the only ones who have keys to access it are Kebbe, Dwas, Xihsa'li and Gaubert.
The private bathroom is a bathroom only for the residents of the house. Not for guests.

Second Floor - The Offices & Lounge

On the second floor there are the offices and the private lounge. This living space can be accessed by guests only under appointment and they still have to be escorted upstairs by one of the residents. 
The offices are always closed and locked. Nobody has free access to them apart from the person of reference to the office itself. 
The lounge can be accessed freely by all residents of the house.
The Offices
Dwassyith (Middle office) - This is the central office, and the place of coordination for what entails every minor business underneath him (brothel and loan-sharking). It also is where Dwassyith coordinates his work on the docks, which is one of the rackets under the dominion of Vincent Aurora. Some of the papers in his office are in drawers, likely the less important ones. Others are locked away in safeboxes or downright hidden.

Xihsa'li (Left office) - This office has the placard 'Lifeboat Financing' attached to the side of the door, complete with the name 'Mr. Tayuun'. Here is where Xihsa'li receives appointments with potential clientele for his moneylending business, as well as deals with any other administrative duties he takes part in.  Much of his important papers are held in a safe within the room, the door always locked and the key carried only by himself.

Norien (Right office) - This is the office of Norien Devanney, the Madame in charge of the Red Hibiscus brothel management. Here is where she conducts her recruitment interviews, private talks and general administration tasks.

Additional Chambers 
The OOC additional chambers in the House are considered to be a separate floor that cannot be OOCly seen, but it exists ICly.

They see the presence of "Hibiscus Private Rooms", which are the rooms where the dancers take their customers to - alongside with several residents' private quarters.
There is also the House Clinic ran by Teirra (who goes under the name of "Luna"). The advertised services entail general medical checks, minor surgeries and standard treatment. Those who possess the keys of the infirmary are Teirra, Dwassyith, Xihsa'li and Gaubert.
