As the crowd continued their chant, Jane's face grew as red as her hair. Unfortunately, she didn't see any other option other than to do what the crowd demanded if she didn't want to end up out on the streets where she'd run into the police.
"Just pretend you're doing this in front of Liara..." Jane said as she slowly began to move her body to the music, much to the cheering and laughing of the crowd. She was thankful that no one seemed to recognize her as her face heated up behind the clown makeup.
"EDI! Put me through to Aria as soon as possible!" Liara demanded, wanting to get Shepard out of this situation.
"Right away, Dr. T'Soni."
"So... My student and your sister, huh?" Jack asked Miranda as the two older women watched as the now dressed younger women nearby, Oriana trying to stop Rodriguez from having a panic attack at the thought of having sent Commander Shepard flying several feet. "Never would've fucking guessed. But I'm happy for them."
"I am happy for them, too, Jack. It's just..." Miranda paused for a bit, "I'm a little surprised. I never thought that Oriana liked women in the same way as I do."
"Well, she technically is you..."
"You know that I hate when you make sense."
"Aria!" Liara shouted into her holo, getting the attention of Jack, Miranda, Samara, and Ashley. "I need you to shut down that club you put here immediately!"
"Close down my business on one of my most busiest nights on this planet?" Aria asked with a scoff. "Why?"
"Because Jane is there right now!" Liara replied. At the sound of the purple asari's laughter, the blue asari shouted, "This is not funny!"
"You're right. It's hilarious!"
"Or perhaps you'd like me to send a certain holovid file to every last individual in the universe? See if that's funny?"
Aria immediately stopped laughing, an angered scowl coming to her face. "You wouldn't dare..."
"Shadowbroker."
"... ... ... Fine!" Aria huffed. "I'm not shutting down my club, but I will call my manager on duty tonight to make sure Shepard doesn't get into any trouble. Just get your ass over their and pick up your girlfriend."
Kasumi snuck into the club with an embarrassed grin, her arm over her breasts as she placed a hand over the tear in her unicorn panties. Thankfully, it seemed that the crowd was too busy watching the dancing red head on stage removing her tutu to notice -
Kasumi did a double take. "What the -?!" She whispered.
Sure enough, she saw Jane twirl around the pole in just a coconut bra and thong, an embarrassed smile on her clown painted face as she looked out to the crowd...
Before becoming a look of primal rage as the redhead made eye contact with the thief.
"YOU!" Jane growled, her voice just barely audible over the crowd.
"Uh oh." Kasumi squeaked, turning to flee as Jane jumped off the stage and chased after her, the latter's biotics flaring up as Jane pushed through the crowd of still cheering costumers and chased Kasumi out the door.
"Get back here!" The Asari Manager screamed, stopping as the front door slammed shut. The asari groaned in annoyance as her omnitool sounded off, pressing the button to answer. "Now is not a good time, A-Hole!"
"What did you just call me?"
"B-boss!" The Asari yelped before letting out a sheepish chuckle. "I'm so sorry for that! I'm just a little stressed out right now because one of the human dancers we hired, Kasumi Goto, just ran out mid-dance."
"... Kasumi Goto?"
"Yeah. Red hair, green eyes, pale skin, about my height."
"... What was your name again?"
"Uh... Shari M'Kanna, Ma'am." The Asari, Shari, replied in confusion.
"Fired or new dancer, Shari?" Aria said coldly, "I'm giving you the option to choose your fate..."
