He has some shots of whiskey then takes a closer look at Cheetah dancing on the stage

Ed went to the bar and grabbed a shot of whiskey, he gasped for air as the taste burned his mouth, it tasted real enough but was that just because he imagined it did. The weight of the question hurt his head so he grabbed a couple more shots before turning his gaze on his dingy kingdom. It was what it was, a sleazy place where desperate men came to throw money at women who where even more desperate than them. The other three strippers walked around the floor, roboticly offering dances to the Vanilla Unicorns customers, the accuracy of the virtual world strip club compared to reality was pretty amazing. Ed's temporary sense of superiority slipped away as he watched Cheetah at the stripper pole and he contemplated how many times he'd been frustrated that he couldn't gone on a "date" with her in the game.

She had an athletic figure that wasn't too exaggerated by gaming standards, her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail, while she was wearing a grey bra which had a red outline, a grey pencil line skirt, white knee high sports socks and black high heels. The effect was an unrealistic version of a slutty schoolgirl. She had one leg wrapped around the dance pole and was swinging herself around it.

Ed took a fourth shot of whiskey and decided to get a closer look at Cheetah dancing on the stage. Close up she looked as real as anything else he'd seen when he'd been in the real world, the hint of a nipple was clearly visible if he stared hard enough as her body moved to the music. Ed reached into his back pocket and took out his wallet, he threw some dollar bills at her and more appeared in his wallet which made him laugh almost hysterically to himself. The blonde stripper crawled towards him and rubbed her body for him as he showered her with bills.
