Scouting for Rubies

"You seem to handle it well"

She chuckles. "Well thank you" she smiles.

"So whats it like working here? I imagine the customers can be difficult but is your boss okay at least?" Chariot asked

"The bosses are good. They pay very well, and give great healthcare benefits" she smiles. "The customers, or, clients as most prefer to be called though can get a bit excessive with their demands though" she then says making grabby hand gestures. "We dont all offer the same perks for showing off our 'perks'. Some dont get that, and so Gerry usually gives em a good kicking" she then chuckles.

"i see" Chariot nods, Any hint of a lie or like she's avoiding talking about something?

Roll it, wits + empathy.

Shes telling the truth, and she doesnt appear to be avoiding anything.

"So do you just waitress here or do you occasionally feel the urge to get on stage?" Chariot asks

Also given the information chariots gathered so far is there anything that might seem out of the ordinary regarding this place? Specifically regarding the evidence of abuse but lack of response?

Her general health and her demeanour and the apparent veins of a junkie seem to contradict each other. Chatiot can see [because geist vision for telling someones health status rocks] that she is in perfect health and doesnt seem to take drugs that would junk up the system. But her wrists look like they have had needles repeatedly stuck in them over prolonged periods.

"Im just waitressing, its enough for me" she smiles glancing at the stage.

"Cool." Chariot said "so what kind of stuff do you do with your free time?"

She gives a small shrug. "Not much... This place takes up a lot of time" she admits.

Can chariot see anything supernatural about her junkie veins?
He'll also look around for a staff only area
"Really? even when you're on a day off?"

She looks relatively healthy, almost as though she's never taken drugs in her life. Her veins simply look like someone who's been having needles repeatedly stuck into them.

Roll wits.



Chariot can see a door behind the bar with a staff only sign. He also recalls a staff only door in the private dance area.

"Days off come few and far between" she chuckles, "usually I just stay around home... Why?" she asks flirtatiously.

1 on the wits.

"Well maybe the next time you've got some time off you and I could get together to do something fun" Chariot said with a flirty wink

Chariot can determine that there are only 2 ways that she could have gotten her wrists and veins into this state. 1, she's a junkie. 2, she's had several precision medical procedures that have involved her veins. He has already however determined that she is not a junkie from the general state of her health. So she has likely been either receiving medical injections or has been donating blood frequently.


Ruby seems a little awkward. "Oh... Well..." she goes quiet and glances back at the hairy barman. "... Usually we're not aloud to go out with customers..." she says quietly and apologetically, but not in a 'turning him down' manner. She seems conflicted by the offer.

"Forbidden fruit is a lot more fun" he said "We can be subtle"

"But what if i get caught? I dont wanna lose my job, or anything else" she says quietly, but still in a 'not turning him down' manner.

"Well I could stop showing up here, then I wouldn't be a customer any more" Chariot suggested "Besides, you work so hard you deserve a little fun now and then."

She seems to think. "... What do you have in mind?" She asks.

"Well I was thinking we keep it simple, hows about we get dinner and see were things go from there?" Chariot suggested

She goes quiet for a few monents and looks down briefly. "... Im a lot different away from the club you know..." she says.

"I figured" Chariot said with a wink "Wasnt expecting you to show up in uniform"

"Or without as the case may be" she chuckles lightly. "... So... When?"

"How about [A few days from now] evening?" Chariot said "If you're free"
