Week 2

[airlockedmods]

[Other than the reappearance of the Overseer, there's no real change in the routine. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

No other floors unlock, but Cece and Kip will still be appearing randomly to chit-chat.

All you know is... something has to change soon.]

Mah-what now?

[People act like she's talking another language when she's going on about magic but half the stuff all these Japanese guys are talking about makes her so confused.]

And hostess bars? There's something there I'm missing... pretty sure.

[buddyoldpal]

Ya know, mahjong! With the suits and the tiles... 's a game we got from China, guess you yanks don't play it, huh?

[ What a colassal shame, mahjong is way more fun than poker. ]

Yeah, see. Back home, the girls who work the clubs are called hostesses. At a cabaret, they'll sit down and talk to ya and sell ya booze so overpriced it basically covers their whole damn paycheck. So a hostess bar or a cabaret club is basically that, minus the act on stage. Just lonely fuckin' salarymen willin' ta pay top dollar ta chat up a girl before they gotta go home to their wives. 's real lucrative.

[goteachother]

Sorry, honey, I've never heard of that one.

[Maybe they'll get a set and he can teach her.]

So these hostesses get paid for flirting with fellas and bringing 'em drinks? That... sounds like a real nice deal.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He shakes his head. Shame. It's such a shame. But at least hostess clubs translate better. ]

It sure is, darlin'! They get paid real nice, it ain't a bad deal at all. Worst case, ya get sleazy customers, but that shit's what managers and bouncers are for.

[goteachother]

No worse than you'd get actually goin to a bar, and as an employee you've got people to look out for ya.

[Wistful sigh because this sounds like her dream job.]

Gosh, why don't we have em in America?

[buddyoldpal]

That's fer sure.

[ There's a reason he likes her so much... ]

Good question, huh? Dunno.. But you'd make a killin' as a hostess, Queenie-chan!

[goteachother]

Ya think so? [Flatterer! But she is so pleased with that knowledge.]

[buddyoldpal]

I know so, darlin'.

[ He smirks. ]

Any club'd be lucky ta have ya, that's for sure.

[goteachother]

Oh I dunno if I'd be okay workin at just any club.

[Nudge nudge.]

Maybe one of yers though, huh?

[buddyoldpal]

Hah! I'd put ya on the VIP list no problem, babe.

[ He leans up to her, still smirking. ]

Wouldn't hafta work. Ya can come 'round any time, I'd show ya good time.
