New Costumes
You leave immediately prior to your morning routines, making your way to work with the quickest possible efficiency, as to catch up with Roxy as soon as possible. The normal route to your job never seemed to take as long as it took today; you spent your morning worrying about Roxy and why she could have just ditched you like that, you should have known better!
When you enter the club that evening you barrel through the entrance, craning your head around to search the room of the familiar stripper who comes there every night: Roxy. You approach the bartender, a familiar face that you’ve checked in on multiple times this week.
“Evening Charles.” You say to him, the neatly pressed suit he wears rustles, as his attention is now occupied by your presence.

She slithers through her high rise condominium, leading you past wall-sized glass windows. A large wooden double door lies just within the threshold of her master bedroom, in the near distance you can see the master bed laid directly in the middle of the floor, taking up the majority of the space in the center of the room.
Your eyes shift forward to meet the enormous doors of the walk-in closet. The walls are lined2 with various hues, saturations, and values of outfits, a multitude of different styles meant to be lazily or pristinely juxtaposed atop one another to create the daily dress-up routine of your local hooker.
