Sin City Zoo
pt.12
Under the Sea
The club was buzzing in the change room before the night’s big show. The guest performer for tonight was named Meri Kelby. Audrey had learned but there was precious little else to learn from the gossip. Audrey found a note taped to her locker. It read. Thanks so much for your help with Carrie last night. I would never have thought of something like that to solve the problem. Expect a little bonus in your check tomorrow night. Ted. Audrey grinned and tucked the note in her purse. After dressing and changing Audrey walked the room looking for someone to keep company during the show. Audrey was a little depressed she couldn’t see the show with Marty tonight but she ended up with one of her favorite regulars of the clubs special shows. Mr. Gregory Barton owned several small chain businesses around the city. Audrey liked Greg, he was just rich enough to fit in here but not so rich to be snobby like some of the casino exec’s. He was also a snappy dresser and had a good sense of humor. Of course he was a perve like the rest of them, and on more than one occasion she’d had a good groping from him during a lap dance but Audrey was beginning to ignore the patrons that were only semi creepy, it was after all what she was here for.
As everyone settled into their booths and their drinks the house lights dimmed and the MC stepped up to the podium that was set up on the floor in front of the stage rather than on the corner as usual. That’s strange Audrey thought. “Gentlemen tonight’s show is an exclusive guest performance from our sister club in Miami called Down By The Bay. We at The Zoo are pleased to present our special show for the night, Viviane the Mermaid.”
The curtain parted on a plate glass wall at the edge of the stage, a sort of under water set was built behind the glass. Oh my god it’s a fish tank. Audrey thought as it was clear the whole thing was full of water. A soft sort of aquatic music like what they play in the background at those tourist aquariums started to play and Viviane swam out to center stage to very stunned applause. Just like any classic mermaid Viviane’s legs merged from the hips and her still perfect ass down to one thick tail that ended in a colorful fan. Her body was covered in iridescent scales that shimmered as the light hit them. Her skin had taken on a light blueish tint where there weren’t scales and her hair must have been dyed because it was a matching light green like seaweed. Viviane’s other even more incredible trait was her breasts. Viviane’s breasts were enormous, well beyond even the Zoo’s freakish sizes Viviane probably couldn’t even get her arms all the way around them. Each were at least the size of large beach balls with slightly darker blue nipples and swayed lazily in their underwater setting. Audrey figured if it weren’t for the fact that she was weightless under water Viviane wouldn’t even be able to stand with those things, if she had legs of course. The only thing that ruined the effect was the small air tank she held in one webbed hand, she obviously couldn’t breath under water. As the shock wore off the applause in the room picked up.
Placing the air tanks mouth piece between her teeth Viviane began an elegant sort of under water dance consisting of flips and twists in rhythm to the slow music. Audrey knew how hard it was to move with any sort of rhythm under water, it was clear that Viviane must have practiced for years to become so graceful under water and with a tail instead of legs, not to mention all that extra buoyancy up front. The soft music faded out and with it the lighting on stage changed, darkening and with flashes of light above that Audrey figured was meant to represent a storm above the ocean. The guitar to Jimi Hendrix’s Valleys of Neptune started to play and at the far end of the tank someone dropped into the water. As the bubbles cleared the man that feel into the water became visible. He looked like he’d just stepped off the cover of one of those cheep romance novels, he wore an old time sailors shirt that laced up the front, very tight café skin pants and had long blond hair. As the song picked up Viviane swam over to him and started circling in an enticing way. It soon became obvious the second actor didn’t have an air tank in hand and as he began to struggle. Viviane swam up, curled her tail around him much the way Audrey did with hers, gabbed his shoulders and kissed him. The small stream of bubbles that came from their mouths showed she was passing him a breath. As she released the sailor and leaned back the look of shock mixed with appreciation on his fact made Viviane laugh. She grabbed both sides of his head and introduced him to her own underwater valley in perfect time with the songs chorus and the crowd cheered as a wash of bubbles escaped Viviane’s massive cleavage.
The rest of the act was a choreographed sort of dance in time with the song. Audrey realized this to was very impressive because the dancers could not hear the music under water. There must have been some sort of timing signals only the dances could see. As the song wound down the sailor parted with Viviane and began reluctantly swimming for the surface and his supposed ship above. The sad look on Vivaine’s face as he left her was excellent acting, it really conveyed the emotion of loss. As Vivaine slowly swam off to the side out of sight the curtain closed and the roar of applause that fallowed was just as strong as when Audrey did her premier pole dance.
There was a short intermission after the show. Some how Vivaine was going to work the room tonight too. Audrey made small talk about the show with Greg and when the call came up Audrey went to stand with the other girls as Vivaine came out from back stage. The doors opened and Vivaine stood with her partner on two long shapely legs. Vivaine’s breasts had changed as well, down to the normal Zoo standard. For covering she wore a small divers speedo, her breasts were bare but the scales on her body had re-arranged to form a sort of natural bikini. She made her way into the crowd and Audrey and the others were completely forgotten, she now knew how it felt when she’d done her premier show. Audrey eventually made her way over and got a chance to talk. “Your show was amazing.” Audrey said as she shook Vivaine’s webbed hand. “Oh your Squirrely.” Vivaine said. “I herd about your show too, your supposed to be an excellent dancer.” As Vivaine let go of Audrey’s hand Audrey rubbed her fingers together, they were all slimy. Vivaine laughed. “Sorry part of my costume. You know that slick coating fish have? It started as a joke but when every lap dance is wet and slippery one how could I pass up charging extra.” Audrey laughed awkwardly and moved on, now her hand smelled like fish. Eventually Vivaine met with everyone and paired up with her first lap dance of the night. She pressed herself up against the tuxedoed business man and left his whole shirt front wet. Rather than being angry it seemed he was actually into it and she led him off to the lap dance pit. Audrey made a grossed out face and went on to find a dance for herself.
At the end of the night Vivaine and her partner met with all the girls out in the hall after they’d changed and dressed. Meri Kelby and her partner slash husband James Kelby looked like the perfect super model couple. Aside from Meri’s still bright green hair she had the slim figure and natural endowments that any centerfold would have. James was a sculpted bronze god of a man any girl would give her right arm to have. Meri explained to the group that her performance costume and her every day costume were actually two different pills. Her under water costume was for obvious reasons was not practical to work a room in so that pill only lasted an hour or so, long enough to do her act. Her normal costume would be another pill and wore off an hour or so quicker so she could finish the night. James explained that he married Meri shortly before she took the job as Vivaine. They were both starving performers and when Consumac offered them a stage show together how could they refuse. James worked security on nights he didn’t have to play Vivaine’s swash buckling partner and apparently had no problem with his wife stripping and giving slippery, slimy lap dances when they weren’t performing. Meri answered all kinds of questions about what it was like to have an actual tail instead of legs and told equally embarrassing and hilarious stories about all the time she had troubles adjusting to her tail as well as her monstrous rack she nick named The Barnacles. The club Meri worked at was called Down By The Bay, it was in Miami. It was obviously way out of the way of the normal tourist spots and sported a more ocean inspired theme. Many girls at the bay had costumes that were colorful fish or crustaceans, and many performed in big stage shows like hers so they had to work under water. The Bay only had one stage and two large performance tanks. “Our club gets a lot of experimental stuff.” Meri explained. “A lot of the new things they’re coming up with come through there. Our shows an old classic but Consumac is always working on new stuff, they’re even supposed to be working on a new octopus costume for one of the girls.” “That’s a long ways off though they can’t get the extra arms to work right.” James added and Meri nodded like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Several of the girls asked for autographs and after a few drinks that Ted suppled the crowd broke up and Audrey headed home. On her way out she saw Meri and James kissing and laughing as they headed down to the elevators, they’d probably spend the night and leave in the morning. They looked so happy. Audrey thought. It was obviously a really weird lifestyle but they made it work. Maybe there was hope for her and Marty too.
