Lola Powell

Neon lights decorated the inside of the large building, the whirring of slot machines and roulette wheels echoing throughout the halls. "Hit me",a large man grunted out, staring at his two cards intensely. Lola had seen this type before, they were halfway through their money and felt they could make a turn around. Pretty soon they would be just like the gentlemen at the other side of the table, looking at his cards as if they were his last hope. Just another day at work. Part of her heart stung at the thought of seeing him crumble like so many others but she had to remind herself that they had chosen to do this and they should accept the consequences. But then again, they were duped into believing they would make a fortune. Though even they should be smart enough to know that casinos aren't built on the winners money.

"Damn",she muttered under her breath, the situation was giving her a headache. Glancing up from the deck she noticed a blonde woman wearing a similar tuxedo uniform.

Walking away from her table, she quickly tapped her on the shoulder."Hey Candace, can you finish my shift for me?",she asked in a polite tone, her words almost being silenced by the swears of a nearby gambler. A sigh left the blonde's lips and she raised an eyebrow at her, quickly realizing why she was asking her," You know that they brought this on themselves, besides, you practically grew up her. You should be used to it by now." Lola frowned slightly but her eyes were pleading. After a minute or so the blonde frowned,"Fine, but next time I get an ass pincher table, your taking it." Lola merely smiled before rushing off to the lockers to grab her dress. Usually she only had a few minutes to change before she had to go on but now she could take her time. She was heading the main stage tonight and Lugino said that some clients who were considering investing in her were going to be there. There was the possibility of them merely considering to be a sugar daddy for her but she would make sure to let them she was not interested in that. However, being a little sweet wouldn't hurt. Sliding out of her tuxedo like uniform she quickly shimmied into a sleek black dress which flattered her form before attaching her earrings and putting on the barest hint of makeup.

"Positive attitude",she said, taking a deep breath as she put away her uniform. Giving herself a bright but still somewhat polite smile in the mirror, she closed her locker and quickly headed towards the main stage. This performance was going be one of her best, she could feel it.
