Path of the Vampire forum

Alexis shook her hair in anger, when she was called 'rusty' but she knew it was true... and her ire cooled when CC went on to offer her a job as a waitress anyways. After all, Alexis had been the one to bring up that she would do any job. Her right eyebrow arched and she grinned as hew new boss went on to explain how she would train Alexis and that she could still make good money as an 'escort'.

Tossing her hair again, she grinned and walked forward with a hand out to shake CC's. "You got a deal... Boss. Just know I want more and I'll be working hard to get it. So as much time as you, or anyone you want me to train with can give me? I'd like more."

They stood together at the door and Alexis gave CC a wink. "So what sort of 'uniform' am I going to be wearing?"

With a wicked grin, she went on. "And when to I get to meet "Ginger" ? is she as awesome as you are?"

She watched the emotions crossing the woman's face and couldn't help but grin as she saw the anger and annoyance flickering over her face. The woman obviously thought she was better than she actually was, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing because you did need the confidence in yourself to be able to do this sort of work. She reached out her own hand and shook the proffered one with a nod, then turned and headed for the office, expecting the woman to follow her.

"Ginger is downstairs right now, just starting her shift actually. So once you're dressed then I'll take you down to meet her. She's ok, hard as nails and won't take any **** from anyone and helps me run the place. My right hand woman as it were. She's put in the miles and proven to me a number of times that she's good enough and trustworthy enough. So you trust her with anything and she'll see you right - just as I will."

She opened the door to the office and wandered in, kicking off her shoes as she did and shrinking down to her 5' 4" in bare feet. Her toes curled happily on the cool wooden floor as she padded over to her desk and sat down in her chair. She bent down to the bottom drawer and opened it, rummaging through the various packets that it contained and pulling out a few of them. She laid them out on the desk one at a time so that Alexis could see all the different colours, shapes and meterials.

"Here you are. There are feathers, cloth, plastic, sequins, leather and a couple of other materials there. Some have tassles and some don't, but it's totally up to you which ones you wear. You seen them before? They're pasties and they cover your nipples - one on each. Oh! And if you need adhesive, there's a little shop just down the road that sells the best sort. Just tell the guy you work here and he'll know what to get you."

She left the woman to study them and got up again, this time walking around behind the woman to place her hands on her hips. She smootherd her hands down either side of Alexis' hips and then down over her buttocks and nodded, moving towards the numerous clothing rails down the other end of the office. She disappeared between the various rails and the metallic hangers could be heard scraping over the metallic rail as she thumbed through the sizes and styles of shorts she kept there. Finally, she picked out three of the same style in different colours and once more emerged from the rails to offer them and a pair of clear stilletto heels - all in the perfect size - for her.

"There you are, your uniform. Black shorts are for the week, coloured for the weekend. Pasties are any colour you like, any time you like. Just so long as the nipple is fully covered then you're fine. You'll find the more sparkley ones draw the light and the eye and get you the bigger tips. And as for wanting more - let's see how you go with the bar work first. So why don't you slip behind the rails there - if you're modest - and get changed and then we can go down and introduce you to Ginger so you can shadow her for the rest of the night and get the gist of things?"

She sat herself down at the desk again and crossed her legs, leaning back and waiting.

Alexis followed her new employer as CCo went down the hall, nodding as the woman explained about Ginger.

"She sounds alright, I like the no-nonsense types." Was all the girl said, until they were in an office Alexis presumed must be CC's. The "fitting" seemed strange but Alex said nothing, looking over the pasties while CC looked for the rest of what Alexis would be wearing.

She wasn't too crazy about having glue on her tits, but she supposed going topless wasn't an option. She made a mental note to ask her boss later if it was just the policy of Silks or if it was some fucked up law.

CC was back quickly with an awesome pair of shoes and some shorts. Seeing as it was the weekend, Alexis went for the red ones and then debated between two pasties. Finally choosing the red ribbon ones that would match the shiny shorts.

She went ahead and changed right there in front of CC, no point in being shy at this point and after an embarrassing moment with the adhesive backing,got the pasties in place.

"How's this look?"

She looked over some paperwork while the woman changed, not caring about the nakedness as she'd seen it so many times she was immune to it all. She did cast a glance up though, just to assess more thoroughly what she'd just hired, and was pleasantly surprised. She figured there was a dancer in her somewhere, it just needed to be brought out. She continued on with the paperwork until the woman spoke, asking how it looked. Looking up she looked the woman over thoughtfully and nodded.

"Not too shabby. Nice pairing of pasties with the shorts. Now..."

She slid some paperwork over to the woman, with a pen, and pointed at various places to sign and boxes to fill in.

"Give me as much info as you can that's true and real, make the rest up - but for god's sake, make it believeable!"

She had no illusions that some of these young women had no intentions of giving their real details. But by law, she needed to have been seen to have tried. She was all for giving people a chance, a way to earn some cash, if they had what it took. But she sure as **** wasn't going to be fined or imprisoned for their **** ups.

"Just some paperwork, waivers, contract, bank details. Usual stuff."

She smiled and then wandered to the door, waiting for her to fill everything in and follow her once she were done.

Alexis nodded and took a seat, ready for the 'red tape'. At least she thought she was... there was more forms to fill out than she had expected. Wish a dramatic sigh, the girl got to work and more then a few times had to sit back and consider what to fill into the forms. After what seemed like forever, at last Alexis was done and wondered if CC was even still there or had given up and left. She wouldn't have blamed the woman if she had.

But the owner of Silks was still there, waiting by the door. Her new boss must either be very understanding or had more endurance to boredom than your average human.

Alexis stood up from the chair and stretched, fighting down the urge to yawn. She hadn't expected to start right away when she walked into the club that night looking for work. But she had no one she had to answer to now and she was anxious to make some cash. Besides, she was new and wanted to make a good impression on her new boss. Crossing over to CC, Alexis handed over the paperwork with a grin.

"I hope I dotted all my ' i's' and crossed all my 't's'... I didn't expect I'd have to fill in so many blanks." She chuckled and gave CC a wink so it would seem as if she didn't care that there were more hoops she had been asked to jump through than she had expected.

"I was thinking about a stage name. What do you think of: 'Angel Fire'?"

She took the paperwork from Alexis and slipped it on top of the filing cabinet before heading off down the corridor to take her to the bar to meet Ginger.

"I'm sure you did just fine."

She'd not actually looked at the paperwork before setting it down. She'd look later and then fill out anything that was missing with some made up crap. She couldn't help but curl her nose at the name the girl picked for herself and then shook her head.

"No, we already had a 'Fire' - so another isn't the best of ideas. Plus, you're not pale enough or blonde enough to be an angel really."

She turned and walked backwards / sideways so that she could look her over thoughtfully, trying to think of a name for her. She did like the names to be able to be relatable, and look like they fitted the girls.

"What about.... Trixie Tickletower? You'd have to get yourself feathers for that one. You could easy come up with some interesting routines and outfits for that one. Or if you put a chunky stripe in your hair of another colour, you could be something like Blaze Glittershock. You've certainly the attitude and we keep plenty of glitter in stock - perhaps with a cannon?"

She looked where she was going as she went down the stairs and then strode right across the club to the bar, turning to watch how Alexis got through the punters. As she waited, she beckoned to Ginger who came over on the other side of the bar and then leant over, watching the woman with an almost predatory look.

"Fresh meat?"

CC nodded her head and grinned too.

"Mmm Hmm, show her the ropes, get her settled in, show her some of the more.... enthusiastic clientele and then send her homw for the evening. We'll see if she comes back again tomorrow, or if one night and a taste is all she can handle."

Although Alexis was not crazy about either name, she knew it was just business and despite the bruising her ego had taken she kept her head held high. :I like the idea of a cannon filled with glitter." She smirked as she went ahead to follow her new employer. "Although not so sure about the one big streak in my hair. Maybe a couple of multi coloured ones?"

The trip down stairs was way more eventful than the trip upstairs had been and Alexis rose to the challenge, knowing she was being watched and tested to see if she could handle herself.

She dodged gropes and lewd comments, keeping a smile on her face the whole time and even blowing kisses to the more attractive of the clients there. Once she had managed to make her way through the crowd, she stood beside CC as her boss gave the one Alexis knew was called 'Ginger' a run down. Alexis couldn't help but hear every word, they were trying to be subtle. And she met the eyes of both women who must have thought it would take her longer to catch up then she did.

Stretching herself to limber up, Alexis gave them a cocky grin. "Yup. That's me. Fresh meat. Show me your worst. I'm here for the long haul."

A man reached out to grab her tits and she sidestepped his hand and then took it, giving it a long deep kiss before letting it go with a wink. "Watch it, friend. I don't come for free."

CC grinned at Alexis at the bar and nodded her head.

"You can create your character however you please. We can work on it all as we go and you learn bits and pieces. So that by the time you take centre stage, you'll have it down pat and know exactly what's what and who you are."

She rolled her head on her neck, loosening up and shivering as she watched Ginger sigh, shake her head and then open up the bar to let the girl come behind and see how everything was laid out. Once Alexis was behind the bar, CC headed for the man who'd tried to grope the girl. She sat herself on his knee and looped her arm around his neck. The man obviously thought he was well in here - until she leant into his ear and hald whispered, half growled.

"You do not EVER, ******* touch anyone in here you slimy little ****!"

A knife had appeared from somewhere upon her and was currently being pressed into his ribs, making him nod hurriedly and swallow nervously. Her other hand came up and ruffled his hair, smiling as she did with a nod.

"Good. Now, there's a little seat over there by the stage, I suggest you sit in it and tip your server and the dancers well."

Once more he nodded, and as soon as she stood up he beetled over to the seat she'd suggested and stayed put for the rest of the evening, being the perfect client. In fact, so much so, that she made sure she sent him over a couple of freee drinks as a reward for being a good boy. Once he'd been dispatched to his seat by the stage, she glanced over to Alexis and Ginger, grinned, and then made her way back upstairs to let them get on with it - wishing the girl luck as she dealt with Ginger and her demands and standards. It wasn't just luck that had gotten Ginger the job she held afterall.

Once she was behind the bar, the mood shifted. Ginger was exactly as CC had claimed, hard as nails. But she was very professional and the night was just getting started. One by one the regulars started showing up and before long the place was packed. If hazing had been part of the plan, there wasn't enough time for too much of it. Not having ever tended bar, Alexis just served beers and handed over the more complected orders to to Mixologist herself.

Several of the men tried to hit on her, flirt, or just outright mess with her but she was too busy helping Ginger keep glasses full to pay much attention. After CC had disappeared upstairs, Ginger took over the downstairs and the woman had her hands full. Despite being a fairly lazy girl at times, Alexis not only wanted to impress for the sake of the job. She found she liked tough older woman and was impressed with her take care attitude. Following the example she was being shown, Alexis tried to emulate the other woman but infusing her style with a sassy aloofness.

After a few hours, Ginger had someone else take over behind the bar and started showing Alexis around the club. She introduced the newcomer to a few men and even a couple women that looked Alexis up and down and tested her wits with a mixture of wisecracks and come ons. One woman reached out to touch Alexis' hair but stopped when Ginger gave her a look.

Next they went backstage and Ginger explained a bit more. "You'll also be heping to clean up back here. Doing some laundry sometimes too. Most of the costumes need to be hand washed. Next time you're here, if there is a next time, I'll introduce you to some of the other girls. You're done for now, it's almost Midnight so go home and if you show up tomorrow night that's fine but it's no skin off my nose if ya don't"

"Oh I'll be here, Ginger. You can count on it." Alexis gave the woman a wink before leaving the room to go change back into her street clothes. Going back up the stairs, she paused at a few doors to listen to the very interesting sounds that came from inside the private rooms before finding the one she had changed in and knocking lightly on it before opening it, just in case.

CC might not have been on the floor, but she was certainly still watching what was going on. Not only did she watch what was going on via the cameras that were dotted about inconspicuously, but Leo was also working tonight and she could see and hear everything he did through one of those powers she kept on developing. That reminded her actually, she needed to find out from him if he could see and hear all she did if he concentrated, or if it was just a one way thing. The girl looked like she had some promise, and CC was happy with what she'd seen so far. Even when some of the more, rambunctious, customers had had a go, she'd seemed to go with the flow and put them back into their place with a flirt and a sassy comment. She'd had girls before who'd not been able to take it and had gotten antsy and abusive or rude with some of the comments and attempts at being touched. But Alexis, she seemed to have it - and CC allowed herself a little grin as she turned away to a knock at the door.

She called out to come in, and found Cricket at the door. The woman oozed sex as she opened the door and simply lounged in the frame, playing with her nails.

"Brandon's here, he wants you tonight CC."
"Ugh, really?"
"Yup. He's waiting in your 'special' room"

Cricket looked at her pointedly, still trying to work out and fish for reasons as to why CC had now earmarked one of the rooms upstairs as her own. It meant that when CC wasn't using it, it was going to waste and so CC was losing money. Now, anyone who knew CC, knew that she wouldn't do anything that meant a loss of cash - which was why this was such a gossipping point amongst the guys and girls. However, CC was well aware of the chat, and what Cricket was hoping for - and she gave her nothing. She simply smiled, nodded her head and stood up.

"Right, well, guess I'm off to work then eh? What ar you planning for the rest of the night?"
"Oh, bit of this, bit of that. Got Nick D and Graham coming in for me later on, and I've got that new routine I want to try tonight"
"Yeh, that's looking really good Cricket! You've been working hard on it. I think it will go down a ******* treat! Now, piss off and let me go and see to dipshit!"

Cricket smirked, nodded her head and pissed off as instructed while CC sighed, put on her work face and headed for the aforementioned room to see to this very..... particular client.

It took a couple of hours, but finally she was done and Brandon left the club with his pockets a lot lighter and a massive smile on his face. CC went back to her office and sat down, leafing through the cash she'd taken from him. No-one was a fan of Brandon and his particular, 'tastes' - and he had his favourites he liked to rotate depending on his mood. Tonight, had been her lucky night! She did a bit of paperwork, stil looking at the monitors to see how Alexis was doing here and there, until she saw her being dismissed by Ginger. She glanced at the clock, wondering if the girl had done something wrong - and was surprised to see that it was coming up on midnight. So, the girl had made it through a whole shift, things were looking good for her!

She leant back in her chair and stuck her feet on the desk and waited until the knock on the door came and she called for her to come in.

"Yo! How'd it go then? Coming back? Got any questions or thoughts?"

And then she grinned, watched and waited.
