Special Guest Appearance
Maria did miss her stripping job. It was fun and the money was nice. Not that she needed the money, but it was a job where she could have fun and not have to worry about getting her ass kicked or have Bruce looming over her. So when the opportunity came up she eagerly accepted the offer to do a guest appearance. Candy Starr would dance at the Diamond Club once more.

Her music started and she took a deep breath and went out on stage. She was dressed as a cowgirl. Green leather vest, green leather chaps, white boots, white hat and a green mask on her face. Two silver six shooters were in holsters at her waist.

	Unsurprisingly, 'Candy Starr' has done a good job covering her tracks. Even in this guise, he hasn't been able to figure out who she is - and, of course she's wearing a mask. Nonetheless, Tomas was there for the show. Besides, some other clue to her identity might come up in the process... as if he wouldn't have shown up just to see Huntress out of the bat-uniform.

	'Candy' was dancing to Lady Gaga's Just Dance. She was half way through her routine and down to hat, boots, guns and green thong when she spotted Tomas. What in the hell was he doing here? There was a moment of hesitation in her routine before she continued. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's very, very glad for all of the training in reading and responding to body language, managing to keep from showing any signs of recognition or that he noticed her hesitation. But something to ponder. As the dancer continues, he leans forward a little, quite interested now. If she recognizes him, that narrows the possibilities down some. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Maria was very glad for her mask and the fact that Maria was currently a blonde. Huntress and Candy wore a black wig to help hide her identity. Maria liked Tomas and a part of her didn't want him to know she was a stripper. Though she didn't think he would mind, but she didn't want to risk it.

Still, she was curious to why he was here and thankful that Skanda hadn't shown up yet.

	Strippers can readily wear masks. Customers, not so much. Thankfully, his identity and general curiosity about the town make for an easy excuse to be just about anywhere. The mask hides enough of her face he can't make out a lot, and the hair isn't familiar. Still, he commits her to memory - not hard to justify looking a stripper over rather thoroughly.

	Maria continued her routine though it was difficult to concentrate with Tomas sitting there. Something nagged at the back of her brain, but she had to concentrate on her routine. She didn't want a misstep. The song was almost over and Maria was winding down her routine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He is, in turn, somewhat curious if she goes full nude or not, of course. One only gets so many chances to see this side of a superheroine. Something is nagging at him too - trying to place her, since she obviously recognizes him from somewhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria went full nude at the last moment of the routine. She smiled and tossed her green thong at Tomas. She gave him a wink and then headed backstage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets a laugh and a wolf-whistle in response. That was not a side of Huntress he'd expected to see in that state, ever. And yet, something is still bugging him at the back of his mind. He's not sure what, but perhaps when there's not quite so much distraction... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria headed backstage. She shook her head. What the hell was she missing? Whatever it was it would come to hear at some point. She removed the rest of her costume except for the mask and wig and pulled on her clothes. Sweats and sneakers. The mask and wig would stay on until she was on her bike and could put her helmet on.

	When Tomas asks after her, he finds no one really knows her non-stage name, and apparently she's already left - so he can't hire her for a lap dance. One show, and a quick exit. Curiouser and curiouser. But a good show. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria headed out the back door and started walking toward her bike. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time, waiting for her out back is Skanda, having found his own place to get changed. "Bouncers weren't too keen on masked men, but I managed to find a nice vantage point to catch your show anyway, Candy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was wondering if you were going to show," she said. "What did you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-03 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Wouldn't have missed it. Shame it was from a distance, couldn't be helped. You look better without the batsuit." he replies, the last bit with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-03 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Maria let the bat suit comment slide. "Yes, well you have a long way to go before you get an up close and personal show. Encore performances are costly." Though she wouldn't mind giving Tomas an encore performance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress was breathless and leaned against the wall for support. Her knees were weak and her head was swimming. "That was..." she said breathlessly. Never going to happen again no matter how good it was. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-17 12:45 am UTC (link)
	He's as out of breath as she is, though recovering. He's leaned forward, one hand against the wall for support. "...A one time thing." he fills in. Seems they at least currently think they're in agreement there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-17 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Agreed," Huntress said. "But it was amazing." Mind blowing would be accurate. It reminded her of sex with Tomas. At the thought of him a small twinge of guilt hit her. Though it wasn't like they were exclusive or anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-17 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	She's continuing to be extremely familiar. He'll figure it out, he's sure. He's glad Maria doesn't know - even though he's not sure he's more than a good time to her... and that's likely for the best. "Yeah." he agrees. "Amazing. But just this once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "Relax. That was as much for my benefit as yours. To keep me from looking for the right spot for round two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-18 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"The only place there will be a round two is in your dreams," she said. Huntress pushed off from the wall and started walking toward her bike. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's still grinning a bit, muttering to himself. "Yep, totally consistent, that one. No change from moment to moment at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress rolled her eyes and mounted her bike. "It was fun." She started the engine and peeled out. (Reply to this)(Parent)
