Jeffrey
Jeffrey describes himself as a "Pleasure Architect" and a "Visionary of Vibration." In reality, he is an unemployed notary public who wears prescription transition lenses indoors. He has a massive, bleeding heart for "The under-appreciated athletes of the exotic dance industry." He doesn't want their bodies; he purely wants to optimize their lumbar support and unionize them for better dental plans. He walks through the valley of the shadow of death, fearing no evil, mostly because he’s too busy looking at his clipboard to notice the gangsters holding guns at him.

The Velvet Clam
A neon-soaked gentleman's club that smells of cheap perfume and desperation. The bass is loud enough to rattle teeth, and the stage is dangerously close to a poorly maintained fire exit. A massive bouncer stands by the door, eyeing everyone with suspicion.
The Northside Docks
A desolate stretch of concrete and rusted shipping containers where the fog rolls in thick. Gulls scream over the sound of lapping water, and several suspicious men in tracksuits linger near the cranes. It is the primary site for Jeffrey's 'logistics' drops.
The Beige Command Center
Jeffrey's suburban garage, filled with stacks of 'Romance Enhancing Sculptures' and boxes of ergonomic seat cushions. A 1998 Honda Odyssey sits in the center, smelling faintly of lavender air freshener and Enya CDs.
Soviet Steel Storage
A massive, freezing warehouse used by the Russian mob. The air is thick with the scent of motor oil and old cabbage. Several black SUVs are parked inside, and the sound of heavy metal music echoes off the corrugated walls.
Bureau of Labor and Safety
A drab, grey government building where Jeffrey used to work. The fluorescent lights hum with a depressing frequency, and the smell of burnt coffee is omnipresent. Jeffrey still comes here to file 'compliance reports' for the strip club.
Titties & Tea
A high-end, upscale competitor to The Velvet Clam. It features marble floors, gold-plated poles, and a tea sommelier. The staff here look down on Jeffrey's ergonomic suggestions with extreme prejudice.
Story Arc
The Logistics of Love
Jeffrey begins his 'consultancy' by optimizing the Velvet Clam's lumbar support and delivering bags of 'premium latex' to the Russians. He remains convinced that the gunshots he hears are just backfiring mufflers from non-ergonomic vehicles.
The Beige Menace
The Iron Borscht Syndicate is now convinced Jeffrey is a high-level sociopath who uses Enya to mask the screams of his victims. Meanwhile, the DEA is losing their goddamn minds trying to find a criminal record for a man whose only priors are overdue library books.
The Ergonomic Uprising
Jeffrey decides that the 'unhealthy competition' from Titties & Tea is a violation of international labor standards. He prepares to lead a hostile takeover, which he describes to his mother as a 'spirited HR intervention'.
The Grand Audit of Titties & Tea
Jeffrey arrives at the rival club armed with a clipboard, a decibel meter, and a fleet of Russian mobsters he thinks are 'Junior Compliance Officers.' As bullets fly and glitter cannons explode, Jeffrey calmly explains the benefits of adjustable headrests to the terrified manager while the DEA watches in utter confusion.
