Thank you, Leg. Yes, I had an NPC by that name in my Pirates of the Vistula PbP. He and a couple of cronies ran a floating brothel he called his "Floating Emporium of Forbidden Pleasures". It was a dingy river tour boat "staffed" by a half dozen rather unhappy prostitutes, including his younger sister. Damien also dealt in drugs.
Anyway, price would depend on the local market. I see the most of the Twilight world reverting to a barter economy. So, ask yourself what the pimp and/or prostitute wants or needs.
Damien, for example, needed food and fuel. So, that was the starting price. He also needed drugs for resale so he'd take those as well. What Damien really wanted, though, was nice things- jewelry, furs, alligator skin boots, fancy zippo lighters, aviator sunglasses, etc.
Also consider the local market. In Krakow, for example, maybe the price would be ration tickets. I suppose one could barter a service for another service. Perhaps a John could pay be performing some task or duty that the prostitute/pimp needs done.
Life is cheap in T2K and I reckon sex would be cheap too. Throughout history, women in warzones have turned to prostitution in order to survive and or feed their families. When one has lost everything and is on the verge of starvation, prostitution quickly becomes a viable option...
