her highness

The “Shojo-Gogo” is less seedy than I expected it to be and I’m glad I took Nicla’s advice to clean myself up a bit before we came here. The crowd are people with money and I would have stuck out like a sore nail in my usual kit of sweatshirts and broken chinos among the expensive suits and the bioware equipment attached and grafted to the customers like others would wear expensive jewellery. The place is darkened, the only lights are muted neon light tubes running along the walls, ceiling and partitions of the place. The music is an ethereal mix of ancient instruments hopped up on tec and a Japanese sex neutral voice is prompting the listener to various things such as relax, breathe, unfold, reach and begin. The dancers move in slow motion on little platforms and the clientele are seated on cushions on the floor around them, drinking sake and wordlessly admiring the young women as well as the young men in equal amounts, who are craning their bodies and changing their facial expressions by a minimum. It’s not like a strippers joint, it’s more of an odd art museum with living exhibitions, serving booze. Nicla cruises through the crowd in front of me, leading me to the bar. She’s changed her outfit too, into a monochromatic black, slinky dress and another not so shabby jacket. She’s still not wearing makeup yet and I wonder if she should be up and about this soon after surgery but hell, I was the one insisting she’d come. The gorgeous young man with a dog collar and matching make up behind the bar answers her questions discreetly in swiftly spoken Japanese and I can’t hear a thing they’re saying over the music. I let them get on with it until she gestures at me. The bartender dog boy hands me a plastic chip that’s probably my ticket and points discreetly at a corner of the room where a girl in full traditional kimono is standing by a door, bowing to those who she lets pass and more to those she turns away. Nicla pokes me on the arm.

-I’ll be over there, in the corner of the bar. I need to check my accounts and stuff and Wau-Wau said I could hook up here. Plus I need me a shot and they give me a discount here.

-I thought you didn’t want to stay?

-Just go on now. You’ll miss the show. And you give the door girl 5000 as you chip in, asking for sake time with Geisha after the show. She’ll say no three times and then accept your money discreetly.

-Roundabout way to do it…

-That’s how it’s done. Now, go.

I cringe but do as I’m told. And correct, three sets of “no” later, I’m 5000 creds poorer and let into the private show room behind the kimono girl.
