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.

	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)

	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)

	He grins. "You never know. Maybe I can afford it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who said it had anything to do with money?" she asked with a half-smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smirked. "What could you possibly have to offer for a private show?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A few moment's thought. Not at all sure if he should do this - but their information network is better than his.

"A deal. This isn't a partnership offer. I don't do things in ways the big, bad bat would approve of - and sooner or later, you know he's going to get involved, regardless what you say. This is his city and he's always treated it as such... but maybe we can stop tripping over each other.

I tell you what I'm looking for, and if you find leads, you share. In exchange, because I run across plenty of things I'm not going to care about in my investigations, if I hear anything about your clowns, or any of Gotham's other interesting colorful crowd - I'll give it to you. Strictly so we're both better informed, and can stay out of each other's way, of course."

	Maria thought about it for a moment. She held out a hand. "Deal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's sure he's going to regret this, somehow. He extends his hand to shake on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-05 09:58 am UTC (link)
	"Of course," she said as she took his hand. She didn't shake it. She pulled him closer and planted a kiss on his mouth. She pulled back a little and smiled. "Now it's sealed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-05 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	He grins again, not letting go. When she steps back, he pulls her right back in, dips her low, and kisses her harder. Finally, "I knew you were going to be trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-05 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	"You have no idea how much trouble I can be," she said breathlessly from the kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-08 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I can guess." he replies, letting her go, with a smack on the ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-08 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Automatic reaction made her spin around on a heel and bring her leg up for a roundhouse kick aimed at his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-08 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	He was expecting about that reaction, bringing an arm up, blocking the kick with his forearm - good block, but it still stung. He has to give her credit - she's good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-08 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	The block didn't surprise her, but she was impressed. Her leg came down and she scowled. "Don't do that," she warned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-08 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Unless I'm ok with getting kicked again for the trouble?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-08 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You'll get more than kicked." Her chin went up almost daring him to do something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-07-08 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	He just grins. "So don't spank you unless I mean it, got it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-07-08 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	He was so infuriating. How could a person go from being rather pleasant to being so infuriating so quickly? "You'd be lucky to get to spank me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
