March 9th - Xzotic? Seriously?

[Sara Stanton]

Still not entirely comfortable with the idea Sara makes her way through Mutant Town and to Xzotic. Figuring in the early afternoon the place might not be quite as bad she walks up to the entrance.

[Narrator]

"Hello, what can I do for you?" the bouncer said to Sara, eyeing her dubiously.

[Sara Stanton]

"Hi, uhm... I'm kinda looking for... Serena?"

[Narrator]

"She just got here, I'll see if she wants to talk to you. Ms......?"

[Sara Stanton]

"Stanton." she says, grinning a bit at that despite the awkward situation.

[Narrator]

"I'll let her know." the bouncer said and headed off.

A few minutes later, he returned with Serena, who was quietly assuring him that yes, everything was fine.

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Hi." Serena said, leaning casually against the wall "I'm Serena."

[Sara Stanton]

"Hey. Uhm, not to sound like the angry wife or anything, but you were at Will's bachelor party, right? Green hair, about this high... His best man was half-monkey?"

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Yes, I was." Serena said, smiling indulgently "Would you like me to tell you about it, or would you prefer a demonstration?"

[Sara Stanton]

"Okay please stop that..." she says awkwardly. "I just wanted to ask you if... well... Will doesn't exactly remember much of that night and he was wondering if there was a lap-dance or something he doesn't recall."

[Elizabeth Miller]

"There were a couple of lap dances." Serena said "Well, more than a couple, but Will only got two."

[Sara Stanton]

"How, uh, 'thorough' were they?"

[Elizabeth Miller]

"You don't need to worry, Will was too embarrassed to enjoy himself very much." Serena said, the memory of tasty morsels of chicken putting a bit of kindness into her voice.

[Sara Stanton]

"I know. He told me... He just wondered how much... physical contact there was he doesn't remember..."

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Well, it is called a lap dance for a reason." Serena replied "I was on his lap the whole time, more or less."

[Sara Stanton]

"I guess that have done it..." she mumbles before she realizes she's talking.

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Could have done what?" Serena asked, trying to appear like she didn't know what Sara was talking about.

[Sara Stanton]

"Oh! Nothing, he just... he's been having some trouble with his powers recently."

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Oh. Thats too bad." Serena said, sounding politely sympathetic, but not really interested.

[Sara Stanton]

"Anyway... Thanks for your help. I'll let you get back to... you know... work now."

[Elizabeth Miller]

"Glad I could help." Serena said "Please tell Will I said 'hello'."

[Sara Stanton]

"Yeah, sure." she says in a tone that makes it obvious that she plans to conveniently forget about that within the next 5 minutes.

[Elizabeth Miller]

"I'll see you around, then." Serena said, and sauntered back into the club with her usual cat-like grace.

[Sara Stanton]

Well at least I didn't have to go inside... she muses as she walks off.
