Chapter 5 by dearnise dearnise

Roll +Cool (0) to start stalking Mia Rocha. Can you find her among the Saturday Night crowd?

Miss - A new dancer comes along.

It really is a busy place as people come and go, up to where you can't see where Mia is. After all, she's no taller than 5'7"--5'4" without those high heels of hers. When you combine that with her rather petite frame, she can be pretty hard to find in such a busy night. So you start to trudge your way through the crowd, minding of people talking to one another, or other patrons who are perusing things in the bookstore, or those few waitresses who are trying their best to get to their destination without spilling the contents on the tray.

Your eyes can barely see where Mia is now, but it's still hard to see what she's doing, much less determine if she has another patron with her, or if one of the staff--or the club owner--is there alongside of her. You continue to work your way towards her. However, when you get to within 10 feet of her, you hear someone else call out to you.

"Hey, Eric!" You turn around to see who that was, and turn to see another dancer come over to you. From the look of her, she's one of the newer dancers at the club, fresh out of college. She also looks like a woman who likes the Gothic culture, with her various tattoos on her body, black lipstick, and a leather collar with an ankh-shaped amulet hanging from it. Given the darkness of the main hall, though, you can't really tell what she's wearing, though, but you know from your knowledge of such people, that she has to be wearing something of such a nature.

"Mia's busy, as she's working on getting her vacation time set up with the boss, so that she can go to a major comic con." The new dancer tells you, then she extends her hand in greeting. "I'm Abbie, one of the new dancers here, who started a week ago."

You take her hand, and give it a friendly handshake. "Nice to meet you, Abbie. You said that Mia is trying to get time off to go a major comic con, right? Would that be the one in New York? Or the one in Los Angeles?"

"Both of them, and a couple of others, from what she told me." Abbie looks to you, and smiles. "Basically, if she gets it completely her way, after tonight, she'll be gone for the next couple of months."

"A couple of months, right. Time in between comic cons to rest, work on her cosplay projects, and fill online orders. I understand." You nod to Abbie, taking a peek to see what Mia is doing, as you can just see the club owner there, talking to her. Then you look back to Abbie, trying to decide on what to do next.

What do you do? Do you continue to try to get Mia's attention? Or do you let her be, and settle with the young Goth, Abbie? *** Remember to roll +Cool (0). ***
