A Strip Club On The Mainland | Wednesday Early Evening

On the outside, the club looked pretty seedy, and it was hard to tell whether the small number of cars in the parking lot was a good sign or a bad one. For at least a few of the cars already there - including a limousine with tinted windows and a very sad-looking sports car that still had half of a JUST MARRIED sign affixed to its rear bumper -- it was probably good, but for any Fandom students looking for a positive strip club experience, it was a little harder to tell.

At the door, there was a bouncer checking IDs (or fake IDs, as the case almost universally was with this crowd), and inside... well, inside was a strip club. There was a stage, there were dancers (of multiple genders, even!), there was a breakfast buffet that looked like it served bacon, and there was a bar. And there was glitter. Lots and lots of glitter.

The night was young, the bouncer was easily fooled, and The Silver Glitter Club was open. Enjoy, Fandomites. Or at least try not to pick up any diseases.

[[open for business! feel free to have tagged along whether or not you were part of I Never; i'm deliberately not specifying whose idea this was and how people were notified, 'cuz it definitely was not gert's, so handwave away.]]

When Maddie had a chance, she came over just to boggle. "You are way more confident here than like... well, everyone but the boys."

"What's to be nervous about?" Kenzi asked, gesturing around. "We're the customers! And we already got past Goofy the Doorman. Seriously, it's not like we're required to do anything... hi there," she commented to the dancer on the stage behind Maddie. "How you doin'?" Don't turn around, Maddie. No, really.

Maddie totally turned around.

And then turned back to Kenzi really quickly, blushing. A lot. "Okay, maybe I'm not used to all that. Onstage. In public. In the company of everyone."

"Best way to get past the uncomfortable, power-through," Kenzi counseled, looking around for a server. "Did you get a drink yet? That helps too!"

Kenzi: Best Role Model Ever. For Reals.

"I had one. Should probably have another." No, you shouldn't, Maddie. She was going to grab the first drink that came by, though. "Because who really learns from one hangover already in the week?"

"Professional drinkers! ...although really, I don't know anyone who gets paid for that." Kenzi took a long slurp of her drink, and leaned against one of the tall tables next to the stage. "And just drink lots of water before you let yourself pass out. And go to the diner for greasy food the next day."

"The absolute last thing I wanted was greasy food," Maddie said. "Mostly I wanted to curl up and die."

So naturally, when she caught sight of the stage again the only natural thing to do was to down half her drink right there. "You know what, worth it."

Kenzi cackled and toasted her as she did that. "Isn't it? GO TODD, GO TODD, WORK IT! You gotta give them encouragement," Kenzi counseled. "DAISY DAISY DANCE GIRL!"

"You know their names?" Maddie was actually kind of impressed.

"The trick to not-objectifying is personalizing," Kenzi advised. A little tipsily. "And beings supportive, not exploitative! WORK IT, GUYS!"

The, ahem, guys, worked it.

"That's... actually a good way of looking at it," Maddie said thoughtfully. "And wow, they are really working it. Go, you."

"Thank-you," Kenzi said with a little half-bow. "So hey, this means you've marked off a few things on that I Never list, right? ... which I only say, 'cause some of you weren't drinking as much as me and Cade." Nobody had been drinking as much as Cade. It was impressive.

"I haven't really been trying," Maddie admitted. "I don't think I can really drink much more than I was, aside from, you know, seeing Todd there shake it. Have you done more things?"

"Not since Saturday," Kenzi admitted. "Although I was thinking a tattoo could be fun. Not when I'm drunk, though, 'cause I heard that makes it hurt worse. And stealing a car isn't as much fun when we can't even drive it back to the dorms." Pout.

"Well, we could, just probably with police escorting us via car chase. Which would count towards getting arrested." Oh god maybe the future potential supervillain shouldn't have Kenzi as an influence but whoops, too late now. "Well, what else do you have that we could maybe check off?"

"Already been arrested," Kenzi started ticking off on her fingers. Yes, as influences go, Kenzi's Way was only good for at least saying you didn't have a boring life. "Already dated a guy, already been blonde... what about you? What sounded fun on that list, hmm?"

"Umm. Well, I'm not mooning the principal or setting fires." Just getting that out of the way. "I vaguely remember things about wearing fancy dresses-" Thanks, Victor! "-and kissing girls."

"You'll get to wear a fancy dress if you take classes long enough, or at least a complicated costume," Kenzi said, remembering a few courses where she'd had to do that. "I don't think I've kissed a girl either." There had been all that flirting with Miley, to mess with her head, but... hmmmm! She grinned at Maddie.

...Huh. "Are you saying you want to?" Maddie checked, because she was sometimes bad in social situations and this was something she should really ask about first.

"Why not?" Kenzi grinned. "I've got a boyfriend, but we're both cute, and I'm a good kisser." How about you? went the unspoken challenge.

Maddie considered it, and didn't really find any reason to say no. Especially since she was two drinks down. "Uh. Well, okay then."

And then she went in for the kiss before she could talk herself out of it.

Yay, kisses! This might be a bad idea tomorrow, but that was tomorrow.

Kenzi leaned in too, carefully because she was a little dizzy, and made sure to tilt Maddie's jaw so it would be a nice, careful kiss, no teeth-bumping or nose-mashing.

It probably said something that Maddie was more comfortable kissing a girl in a strip club than she was watching anything that happened in it. But hey, Kenzi actually was a good kisser, so.

So after letting that happen for a little while, Maddie pulled back and noted, "One down."

Kenzi snickered, and put her hand up for a high-five. "The rest to go!"

The strippers were cheering. Quietly, though. Hey, they were still on-duty.

"...Maybe another night!" Maddie said, but high fived her anyway.
