>>5434719As you pass through the front doors of the establishment, your senses are assaulted by thumping music, flashing lights and a haze of sweet-smelling vapor.
https://youtu.be/mAGbRTxk6zEYou never were one for clubbing.
Still, you quickly adjust to the dim environment and take a look around, finding yourself in what is essentially a vestibule.
In front of you are two more bouncers who are blocking the hall, and to your right is a woman behind a thick pane of glass who immediately tries to speak with you.
"Welcome to Sephora! Please note that phasers are not allowed inside the building and entrance fees must be paid up-front. Still, please enjoy yourself! Will you be dancing tonight, or do you require our 'massage' services?"
The woman in front of you is... well, you wouldn't call her unattractive, but she's not your type. Too many eyes. Either way, despite standing on a platform back there, you can tell she's about Cylia's height.
So when you walk up to the counter, your figure must seem quite imposing. You can tell that she's nervous as she stares up at you, despite the barrier separating you.
Part of that may have to do with the fact that you're clearly heavily armed. Folks may not recognize your gear, but they know what a weapon looks like.
"I'm here to see Civis." You answer, speaking up so that you can be heard over the music.
The small woman's nervousness immediately doubles.
"I-I'm sorry, i'm afraid i don't know..."
She tries to deflect, but you're not having it.
"Don't fuck with me, i'm not here to play around. Understand?"
The girl nervously glances back and forth between you and the two bouncers, who in turn look at eachother, as if determining if it's worth it.
Your muscles tense as you prepare to pounce on them the very moment they make that decision, but you don't get the chance. Instead, another woman makes her appearance.
She grabs them by the shoulders and pulls them apart, making room for herself to walk though.
Extremely tall, thin and gangly, she's wearing a white sequined dress and large, silver-hooped earrings. The bouncers quickly move out of her way once they recognize her.
"That's enough, all of you." She demands, looking between the bouncers and the greeter. "I'll see this man myself. Please, come with me." She asks, directing you with her hand. This must be Civis.
She doesn't seem like she could take over a daycare by force, no less a business.
