The price of silence.

As Ruby made her way over to the bar, she wondered what Coco could want to talk about, though if she was completely honest with herself, considering how things were going lately, she likely already knew.

"Hey there Ruby." Coco waved to her over her drink, while Yang's latest dance started up on the stage off to the side. "So, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that that nice man that was sending to heaven really IS your dad." At Ruby's nod, she continued, "Wow, kinky. But given how he's talking, I'm gonna also guess that he doesn't know that you're working here, and especially working here like THIS?" A smaller nod, that prompted a bigger grin, "Oh, this is rich, he didn't even realize that Daddy's little girl was about to have an orgasm at his hands. Hell, he thinks you haven't even kissed a boy yet." Ruby tried to hide her reaction, but it clearly wasn't enough, "Wait, really? You're walking around buck naked, getting groped by an entire night club, and you haven't had your first kiss yet?"

"..."

"Answer me, Ruby."

"...No, I haven't had my first kiss yet."

"...Well, aren't you an interesting little overachiever. Let's have a little fun with that, shall we? We're gonna play a little game, and that's gonna determine what my price is for pulling your cute little butt out of the fire over there." The pinking of Ruby's face was as good as an answer to the brunette. "Great! Now, I've got a couple options in mind for what I want out of you, but I'll be nice and make them all one-off favors, and don't worry, I've got a pretty good sense for what someone would consider 'fun' as opposed to 'cruel.' You go off and continue your shift and I'll have it cut down to just a few options by the time you return." With that comforting(?) thought in mind, Coco proceeded to shoo off Ruby to return to her 'job.'

As the night went on and the hands kept coming, Ruby, though she was e̶n̶j̶o̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ enduring the gropes, pinches, and caresses, couldn't help but wonder both what the game that Coco would have her play would be, as well as what she could ask for, favor-wise.

I wonder what kind of game it'll be. I̶'̶m̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶h̶o̶r̶n̶y̶. I hope that she doesn't get too crazy with the favor she has me do. N̶o̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶. She said that she's pretty good at telling what someone would find 'fun,' does that mean that she thinks that I like this? H̶o̶w̶'̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶? Of course I don't, I'm just doing this to pay off the damage to the club from that night. M̶y̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶s̶a̶l̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶u̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶n̶u̶s̶. The fact that I'm getting wet...down there, is just a coincidence. Of course I don't like being made to show off my naked body to strangers. I̶ ̶L̶O̶V̶E̶ ̶I̶T̶. Why would I like losing clothes every time I come down here? T̶A̶K̶E̶ ̶I̶T̶ ̶A̶L̶L̶,̶ ̶M̶A̶K̶E̶ ̶M̶E̶ ̶S̶P̶E̶N̶D̶ ̶E̶V̶E̶R̶Y̶ ̶W̶A̶K̶I̶N̶G̶ ̶M̶O̶M̶E̶N̶T̶ ̶O̶N̶ ̶D̶I̶S̶P̶L̶A̶Y̶!̶

Shaking her head, Ruby decided to pull herself out of her d̶e̶n̶i̶a̶l̶ thought spiral and just go over and see what the older girl had in mind.

S̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶a̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶.̶

As the young red-head maneuvered her way through the crowd, catching the more-than-occasional hand upon her breasts and butt, she saw Coco writing something down on a bar napkin. She seemed to finish up just as Ruby made her way over to her.

"Hey there, Red. Perfect timing. I've written down a list of the favors I want to see you do, so I'm gonna give you this die that one of the bartenders was kind enough to lend me, and you're gonna roll it to see what you're gonna be doing for me."

Ruby picked up the list and started reading:

1. Give a masturbation show to the entire club.

2. Finish Beacon's Initiation naked.

3. Have your first kiss with your dad.

4. Take a ride on the Vale Subway wearing an outfit I choose.

5. Let my friend and I film an interview with you. You'll be naked, of course.

6. Roll again with an extra favor owed.

Putting the list back on the bar, Ruby just looked at the girl in shock. "Those were the BEST options, I could think of that I thought would fit ya. Don't worry, you only have to do one, well, unless you get a six of course, but I doubt it'd happen more than once if it does. And I'll even let you treat a roll as a 6 if you REALLY don't want to do what you rolled." Coco had a mischievious grin as she said that. "Personally, I was really tempted to make you do it all, but giving you a chance to get out of most of it feels more fun!"

As Ruby's shaking hand started reaching over for the die, Coco grabbed it and her face lost the smile as she grew more serious. "Hey Red, I'm having fun with this, and I'm pretty sure that you are too, but if any of this, and I do mean ANY of this, is the kinda thing that's gonna leave you crying or feeling more miserable than aroused, tell me, and it is OFF the list, got it?" Her eyes were almost glaring at Ruby as she said this.

Ruby was taken aback at the sudden tonal shift. Wait, what? She's saying that she wouldn't have to do any of this? That is such a d̶i̶s̶a̶p̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ relief. I can just tell her that I d̶o̶ don't want to do A̶L̶L̶ any of this, and I can just focus on e̶n̶j̶o̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ doing my job and getting Junior paid off.

Before Ruby could open her mouth, Coco continued, handing her a pen and the die. "I'm gonna let you cross off whatever you want on this list, or just write NO to say that you don't want to do any of it, and I'll let you off with signing the picture that my friend took the other night, but if and when you roll the dice, you are committing to following the rules of the little game I've laid out. Am I clear?"

Ruby stared at her.

"Am. I. Clear?"

Ruby jolted at the firmer tone and nodded. Looking down at her hands, she saw the pen in her right hand and the die in her left.

Alright, all I've gotta do is write NO on the napkin and hand back the die, and I can get past this with just signing the picture that they took of me last night, when I was naked. It's not great, but it's better than all of this, right? I just have to write NO on the picture.

...

Just write NO.
