Forum: Story Ideas

In semi-historical setting (antiquity/early/late medieval). Mysterious merchants arrive, on huge steel ships (or even some flying vessels, like zeppelins or UFO-like spaceships). They look perfectly human, although, nothing like the locals. They are neutral-friendly, but don't let anyone try to bully or rob them.
They offer an astonishing variety of goods, from grain, veggies and meat (in bulk) to 'magic' stuff (future tech). Or medical, engineering, scientific services.
The catch is, they take only one kind of currency: a special amulet has to be worn(a camera), and the person has to spend days (hours) in the nude in public. Women (especially beautiful, especially of higher social status) nude-hours cost a lot more.

Is your idea for the ladies to feel humiliated if they go nude in public. To begin with many would feel humiliated I would think, but with more and more going nude then there humiliation should not last to long.

you say they don't let anyone try to bully or rob them. what do they do if someone does try to rob them, what is the punishment they dish out if they catch a theif.

Sounds a lot like Epstein's Island.
