Q was still around and came over. "Hey guys. Did you like that?" he asked. I turned to him and nodded. "It was great. I do need to go now, but I'll be back soon." I said. It got everyone to focus on what we were saying. He just smiled at me and wished me luck. I walked to the door before the twins followed me. They both made sure that we exchanged numbers. I got on Brown's back and had him walk us back to the better house since it was closer to the club. From there, I got ready to got to the college for classes. I taught my classes before taking a bus over the Frisky Iguana. A girl named Peaches was dancing when I walked in. It was a nice show and I was up next. It was still the mid afternoon and there was still some empty space in the club. I got ready when Momma came up to me. "Day 3. It gets tougher after the second day. You have the same responsibilities as before but you'll now be "on the menu" for private dances until the end. That means an hour on the floor during primetime each night from now on." she said. I groaned but I had to suck it up. I was not looking forward to it.
I was on the main stage for a pole dance. I put a good basic show on with the beginner routine. It was a 84% performance that people enjoyed. That meant that I needed to go on the floor and see if anyone needed me to give them a private dance. Momma assured me that it was a No Touch policy in the private areas. I also would not get paid until the trial week was over. As I was talking with some of the patrons, one asked for a private dance. I told them the price and they gave me the money. I took them to the VIP area and closed the curtain. I them began the dance. It was a 76% mostly due to the fact that I was not too into it. The customer I was servicing was a polite and pretty restrained guy. He was a Najja named Percy. He had gray eyes, honey complexion and electric yellow hair. I decided to ask more about him. Percy was a big whiz kid programmer that was focusing on making an A.I. That is something that could be useful. It was not on the level. He was stealing tech and from places and hacking larger labs and firms for code. He was a loyal customer and protected by the gang.
The ability to get a good A.I would be necessary for further attempts to make androids. I smiled at him and exchanged numbers with him. He gave me his number almost immediately. I told him that I was interested in his work and he blushed. I said "If you could a self aware A.I, that would be great. You could easily be the most rewarded by the gang if you could show how good it would be for them." He nodded and said "I am working on it, but it's really hard to do it, you know." I nodded and left the room to wait until the clock run out. The next customer was a pushy Adamu and I hated it. He said "I don't give a shit about all those burned out junkies and sluts. You are a bit different and I can see that from you." I rolled my eyes and gave him his dance. I did not exchange numbers with him. Luckily for me, that was it for the first shift. The next shift saw me get three requests. I danced for them and left the club when the hour was up. I made sure that I showed up at primetime and that meant that I did not have to double up shifts anymore. I was still on the hook for the higher traffic slot though.
Now that I had adjusted, I was able to get through the week. Momma and some of the strippers that I got to know were there to throw me a party at a nightclub. It was at a subversive punk rock joint called "Fizz". It was a large group coming with me. Cheetah, Snowberry, Claret, Cerise, Q, Peaches, Alice, Jane and Momma. I was treated to the best food and drinks they had and I was able to choose what I wanted to do. I decided to be a soldier as a fighter could get me to level up sooner. I had some good allies around to call on and party up with. My androids could back us up and also even hack things we needed. Momma nodded with a smile. "We have a few jobs for a soldier. I'll tell you what they are and you can choose." she told me. I nodded and she said "One. You can go to a rival brothel that some shitty pimps have set up. Tell all of them what they owe us or shut it down. It's up to you to go and decide. Two. Shake down the local health clinic. They are pulling out on a deal to treat our guys and girls. Teach them a lesson. Three. Particpate in a territory scramble for a needed district in the north."
