Cursing everything the evening before had consisted of, she rose from her covers and tried to focus on the compad display hovering obnoxiously close to her features. Maroon orbs danced over the details of her emails, sifting through various spam messages before pausing with a hopeful smile. Of course, such hopes were dashed quickly after they formed, as there was no new correspondence from Paskar. Wouldn't be the first time she chased off someone just by telling the truth. Her dream life, this charade everyone saw her pantomiming, was nothing more than a veil over those dark secrets she was harboring. If it wasn't enough to be forced into being alone, someone had to come along and rocked the foundation of her solitude by merely trying to help. Long fingers raked across her scalp, digging the nails in to try and bring a surge of energy through her tired frame. It took some convincing, but she found herself up and ambling towards the shower before she drew blood.
The water made her miserable, and she cried in the warmth. It embraced her like a lover would, but only as long as she stayed where she was in the sheer glass enclosure. Funny how life always seemed to drag her back to this less than perfect reality, and the filaments on the back of her neck stood like barbs. They were defensive, reacting to her inner questions, and she couldn't very well blame the reaction. There was nothing to be done about what was happening, save maybe find a new place to work, but that wasn't an easy option to bear in mind. No, she was being irrational. While the world continued to spin, and colony was blissfully unaware of the problems Daxet struggled with mentally in her shower, the Lepi still needed to get her affairs in order and suck it up.
Ironic.
Dressed and out the door some time later, the trip was done in complete silence, with only the urban sprawl as soundtrack. Through the back she moved when the Lepi arrived, to the dancer's changing room, which was pleasantly empty for the time being. Usually she was fine to listen to the gossiping girls when they were between shifts, but there were occasions she didn't have the perseverance to handle the caddishness. It wasn't uncommon to find a minuscule amount of peace in her lack of peers, and knowing how the usual crowd of Radius reacted to her shows, it was a very brief reprieve. A molecule of victory. There was no one better at what she did in the club, and there was certainly no one looking to take her place.
Wasn't that the biggest issue here? Trapped in a place she hated, doing things she hated with individuals she hated?
Shortly thereafter, Dax emerged from the restricted staff area behind the private rooms, and gave something of a smile to the room. Few dared stand in her way, but there were countless eyes set in her direction as the willowy dancer took to her cylindrical stage and waited for the outer tube to rise, sealing her in the display for the whole of the lower level to witness. Like any other night, the soundtrack played, and Daxet began slowly grinding to the sound, her body in time with the rhythm as if programmed to follow set commands of the beat. As sultry and inviting as the topless woman seemed, her insides were a barren, miserable place. Nothing good came from her feelings.
