Dread Zone Rebirth : Celestial's New Vegas Debut Part 1

The massive array of neon orange lights were always a sight for Celestial. The elven gardevoir was so eager as she stood in her private mansion cube, one of the Royal Retreat Mansion like living spaces that freely floated inside the giant barrel of the Dread Zone Station. It had been a few years since Celestial had last seen the view, and it never ceased to be a wondrous sight. In just a few minutes though, the station would no longer need to stay hidden in the skies over the blue and brown world. Although she knew that this world lacked the technologies to view much past their own skies anymore, the Dread Zone Station was still half the size of the sole moon around the world. With their full array of lights on, it would be easy to spot the station even in the middle of a clear day.

She couldn't be that surprised though, the Dread Zone Empire's primary income and majority of its designs were all based around entertainment of course. While there were others like her, an intergalactic pop-star, and even multiple other types of entertainment options sold on and broadcasted from the station, its major selling point were its live action unrestricted blood sports arenas.

Celestial was only very rarely connected with that aspect however and she was happy for that. Still, the games were a sight to behold as they always got larger and more detailed. She couldn't help but wonder how the games would change again for the upcoming season as she sat on her balcony only to quickly stand up, her thoughts interrupted.

The small rows of warning lights along the inside of the barrel ring lit up, a series of circling light blue and yellow lights cycling all around. These lights were of course all considerably softer then the real lights of the Dread Zone Station, but in the darkness inside the barrel, they were very easy to spot and find. Quickly grabbing her goggles and putting them on as not to blind herself having adjusted to the darkness of the barrel ring over the past three years, these early lights were to let everyone get ready for the real deal.

Already many people on the station were getting ready to see the Dread Zone neon orange lights and holograms return to life, while others would hide from the sudden increase in light around the station for a while until they adjusted to the bright lights once more.

For Celestial though, it was just so exciting as she got a bit eager. In just a few more minutes, it would all be a grand sight to see. Already getting impatient and tapping her fingers on the railing of the balcony, she almost jumped for joy seeing the first lights turn on. Slowly at first, the inside of the barrel was getting brighter now as the heart of the station began to wake up as many put it. Four massive glowing orange lights lit up below her as she looked down over the edge of the balcony. Her floating mansion residence that rested above the central arena of Dread Zone, and the four lights below were the four major spot lights of the Dread Zone Core Arena. Slowly they turned and rose upwards, the arena itself quickly outlined in glowing pulsing lines now showing off the layout easily as directly above her, a giant square platform seemed to appear on the top of the barrel's insides.

That one square quickly turned in five though, and then thirteen, and then twenty-five, the grid growing rapidly in order now adding the light as new holograms started up along the barrel as well. Bit by bit, the entire inside of the barrel was light up, showing off all the other floating ships, store fronts, platforms, and other things that took cover inside the station.

Celestial just couldn't hold herself back though, practically jumping at the sight of the station coming to life in full once more only just barely keeping even her toes on the ground. She knew it would be another few years before guests starting showing up properly, but those few years spent in darkness hiding above the world while her master Baroden Sethor, leader and owner of the Dread Zone Empire made arrangements on the world below just felt wrong a bit.

It was still bright inside the walls of the station, and just as lively if nowhere near as cramped, but without the proper view outside the windows, it just wasn't the same. Her face showed nothing but awe as she looked around, only to turn just in time to see an image of her face show up.

At once Celestial turned red as a cherry, blushing hard as she saw herself on screen, a replay of one of her last live concerts before the end of the last season. She quickly turned away, hands covering her face knowing instantly what costume that she wore for that concert by the two silver rings in her left ear. "Oh, why!?" She gasped a bit hearing the song start up, a test of the systems and free show for the station residents.

"C-come on. I had dozens of other songs... why replay t-that one!" She whined, just so embarrassed. While most of it was from the costume she had picked out for her to do that specific show in, what really tipped the scale about that show itself was that one of her biggest fans, who had paid several million in bolts, the Dread Zone currency of choice, just to have the seat closest to her. Once she had finished her show, the large goat like tigertaur beast stood up for everyone to see, and openly confessed his love for her in front of pretty much the entire galaxy.

While not the first time that it had happened, this particular time had her self proclaimed lover had dressed up almost exactly like her, declaring that the outfit that she had worn was given to her by him as a sign of his love to her, and went into a giant speech, including how he would have gladly have gotten surgery to change the size and shape of his penis to better suit her desires to fulfill all of her needs. What would have been a full on speech was thankfully interrupted as Celestial was taken off the stage while security dealt with the overly ambitious guest.

For it to happen so publicly though, and then get directly asked if it was true and she ended up getting pestered with all sorts of questions, many of them from other stalkers about who she really liked and to move into wed lock with them, starting a whole large scale scandal across the galaxy.

Celestial was now entirely red like a ripe cherry now, her normally silver skin tone hidden easily by her blush even despite her efforts to try and hide her face in her hands. A hand on her shoulder quickly made her look up though, one of her handlers at her side and her newest one at that..

"And to what moment do we owe this sudden case of embarrassment?" The elven man asked looking over her. Dressed in a full orange business suit, he almost looked like the newly turned on lights of the station as he just gently guided Celestial back into her mansion. Celestial just remained silent though as she walked back into the mansion. In her embarrassment, she had completely forgotten her newest handler's name.

While she did try to get to know everyone on the team assigned to her, this elf was still new, having only been hired at the start of the current down season, the time between the Dread Zone Games. She knew that his name started with a "sha" sound, but she couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed a bit now being unable to place his name fully as she walked with him.

"Very well then, you may stay silent on the subject if you so desire. You've seen the reactivation of the station's lights, but you have a show to prepare for though." The elf stated as he moved over her down the stairs to the lowest level of the floating mansion, the bottom floor rather empty, aside from a small glowing circle on the ground, with the occasional flicker of a cylinder of light around the circle.

"Come on, we have a show and only an hour to get ready. It should still be twilight on the planet, but it is a human world and their night approaches fast. It won't last long at all." He stated, walking with her into the circle, and then in a flash of light followed by a very sudden chill and endless void of reddish like star filled sky before it all returned, her handler having only take her to teleporter and then staying behind.

-x-

The new room was quite the set up, but still nothing new to Celestial. A large make up table, massive wardrobe, sound equipment, and of course some of her personal set of handlers all there to help get ready for the show, those present already at work to get the show done.

She easily made out the small form of her gold and green feathered dragonoid hardware manager, Neewk already at work checking the equipment. The small dragon, barely a meter tall always looked cute in Celestial's eyes, and in the eyes of many others, but Celestial would never call him that herself. The little dragon had a height complex after all, and being one of the smallest fully grown species on the Dread Zone Station certainly did not help.

Despite this, Neewk was perhaps the hardest working member of her team, and worked in over the top methods at times to make sure that all the hardware that the team needed was up to specs and ready for the shows. "Somebody get ma anotha drink. Its bleeding ot in here. Und make it somtin light." His voice yelled out, somewhat muffled and changing sounds from where in the machine his head was. As always though, his tail was very much tucked away though, and kept safe, entirely out of the way as he worked, crawling a bit more into the machine.

Celestial just smiled, always thinking it was cute, and liking to look at Neewk sometimes just for being cute, but she knew better. She knew that as long as Neewk was working, he would always likely be in half the machines and large devices that Celestial's team would need. He was her hardware specialist after all, and it fell to him to make sure that all the hardware components that her team used were properly made and would more importantly work for the show they were performing. More so, since it was the first that these systems were operational at all, she knew that Neewk would take extra time working though them.

She also easily noticed her sound manager, the bronze skinned ancient elf who was still very clearly young, or rather physically young, easily a youth. Salzi was one of the slowest growing and oldest elven species in the entire galaxy. Even though he was still nearly twice as old as she was herself, he was still no more then a teenager by the ways of his race, and still had a very long ways to adulthood.

The bronze skinned elf still looked like a child, maybe in his mid-teens, but he was still over 100 years old, a bit closer to 200 years even as he checked his list of things against the data he had stored on a few tablet like devices, checking the recordings he had for the songs Celestial would be singing to. While Celestial would still have a musical crew on instruments, a number of her songs had very clear electronic techno beats and various other sound effects.

It was Salzi's job to see to it that these parts of her musical show were ready and proper. Despite his age and mental maturity though, and even with his few mental medical conditions, Salzi was an expert at his job already, and always managed to see every show he had been through done right.

She already knew she was still in good hands though, but a clear lack of two of her team, her fashion designer and her make up specialist immediately told her that she would be working someone else, and turning towards the opening doors behind her, she knew exactly who it was, smiling some even.

A massive four armed naga had entered and was moving up to her, three hands already out, but his lower left arm just missing its forearm and hand. Despite this, he easily stood out dressed in fancy scales this time, almost tribal in looks, but still holding a complete aura of nobility around him as he worked his way in, another elf at his side that Celestial also recognized even without his fancy suit.

"Oh, there she is, my little elven princess." The snake quickly stated, moving up to her, his voice so high and perhaps somewhat feminine, as if flaunting his style in a way. "Come come, I've got just the outfit for you this time." He stated, holding his head high. "No no, off with those rags. I know you enjoy them, but they just will not be a sight for the show tonight! Don't worry though, this outfit shall be just as comfy and warm, but oh oh oh don't we..." He perked his lips and brought a hand up, before kissing his fingers and pulling them up and away rapidly, Celestial not really sure what he doing, but still listening as he seemed to stop.

"You... okay there Thera?" Celestial asked in his pause, only to quickly be silenced again by the large snake.

"Oh I cannot give words tonight, I am just so excited." He finally regained himself, shaking his hips before moving over and pulling her along. "Come on, off with them. Off, off." He commanded, one hand on her hips to hold her still, his other two quickly helping the elven gardevoir undress as two of his assistants moved up to help, Celestial still blushing hard as she was stripped down to her silver panties that went so well with her skin tone.

Of course it wasn't that bad. The elf she knew was Nero and he of course had worked with her from the very start. She was very use to his gentle and kind hands on her, having helped her get dressed and undressed on many occasions, and Nero always treated her with respect. Even the other elf seemed to be respectful as well, never actually touching her, just taking the clothing that Nero was handing to him and folding it up nicely, putting it in a tray to be washed and returned to her living space later. It was always easy to trust Thera's personal staff as well and she didn't struggle or hide. Even with all of them being males, a requirement to even work with Thera's staff, they were all so polite and gentle.

"Oh... why are we so red tonight. Oh has someone touched you before coming. You should know better, you always get so flush and red in bed." He stated turning her around to face the wardrobe, the unnamed elven assistant opened it revealing a whole new set of suits, these outfits based on the culture of the world, both from modern cultures of the groups that survived that nuclear war that brought the world to ruin, as well as many pre-war cultural styles. "Now now, try to lose that blush. You are much to red for these outfits tonight. Red is not their colour." He stated firmly.

"S-sorry... its..." Celestial started looking down shyly again, but shook her head, and was quick to recover her posture as she felt the excitement around her starting to build if slowly. Although still red in the face, she smacked her cheeks lightly and stood up confidently now. "No, its nothing. We have a show and I'm going to do it." She stated firmly, reassuring herself now as she moved up to look over the outfits properly.

"That's my lovely elven lass, so strong and ready." The naga proclaimed loudly and moved up beside her. "Now, this time we have two major styles here. A pre-event style and a post-event style. Personally, I favor the post-event style here, but I am lightly biased towards pelts and the like. Still, this pre-event style is bit large and having to work around that was a slight hassle to pair up with you for this event." The naga started, reaching out with one hand to hold onto Celestial's waist and guide her up to one of the doors, another hand reaching into the wardrobe and pulling out the first of three outfits.

"Now, to start, the fabric. I've used a mix of stell silk and orsca plant fibers to give the real look. Its hard to tell the original fabric designs with no surviving records of the material choices, but this looks and for the most part feels like that what I image it would have been in its pristine state. As for styles... well that was the hard part. The females of this world or at least this region appeared to have some very reserved and very limited proper styles. Bright colours, but limited patterns makes for a poor selection to work with sadly." He starts, his third hand going up to tap her long elven ears.

"Now they preferred large wide hats for their summer wear, but I wouldn't dare cover these beauties. Instead, I've looked away from head wear and you'll just be using your visor for this. Still, getting it fit for you was a bit hard. They did not have much in the way of teasing outfits aside from their swimwear, so I had to improvise. You'll find these three are a little loose on your hips but we can use long socks. The striped pattern and the spotted patterns are the most common ones seen throughout the United States Empire. Like I said, it was expected for women to be very reserved and fully covered aside from coastal wear, and even then, it was limited. I've gone with short sleeves on these three styles, and a sort of belted waist to help hold them on your hips. You're entire chest will be covered, so I've put more emphasis on your legs. The skirt is slightly shorter than traditional ones, but it should still be well within standards. More so, the back of the shirt will be opened to show that a bit, but this is highly against their traditional standards. The open back will give it a much need relaxed look that still compliments the current world without losing its reserved look however, but it was very much needed." He stated, pointing out each of the points he mentioned.

"I've got with the golden highlights on a white base style for the first one, and then a Dread Zone inspired black and orange striped version, while our spots version has a bit of floral life to it, just something I thought I would throw together. It turned out better then I thought, but still lacks a little something, although I'm sure what." He stated, showing off the colors of the first three outfits, which were all pretty much the same aside from design.

"Honestly, they are much too reserved, and it looks like most of the culture was very very private about courtship, showing bodies off, and even such simple things as letting people choose how much skin they want to show off before the cultural crash. If I didn't know they were humans, I would have sworn we wondered another a pathetic Thsisick world, and uh... have they no desire to show themselves or their emotions, its like they are machines." Thera gave a heavy sigh, before quickly perking back up and opening up the other side of the wardrobe, and quickly returned to his usual enthusiastic self.

"Now, for our post-event styles, I've got heavy on the hides. Most of the locals use scavenged outfits at best, and new materials are hard to come by aside from hides and obscure materials. I went with a mix of what they call golden geckos to form the bases of the outfits here, padded with fursal hides to give them comfort. I've chosen highly different accents for each of these however." He started, reaching over and picking out the first one.

While the inner parts of the outfit were made of what looked small scales, a dull gold in color with a few black stripes and spots, the outfit had some larger leather pieces, heavily along the back, the shoulders, and with a large split skirt like leggings that would rest on her legs down her knees and then some, but let the inside of her legs shine freely. The leather was a bit rough at first glance, but Celestial just reached out and ran her fingers of it, finding it overly smooth and nice. "What kind of beast is this?" She asked picking it up and looking it over. A large slot in the middle would show off her belly and the bottoms of her breasts as well, and it looked like the bottom would slip easily between her legs much like bikini bottom, but aside from the twin skirts, would show off about all of her inner thighs.

"They call this deadly monster a deathclaw. Some kind of mutant I'm told, manufactured post-event before they went wild. Some of them apparently can speak, but no one has ever seen one in recent years or at least reported any such sighting. Most of them are now feral. Honestly though, I'd rather just avoid them. The locals are so insistent that they are a total mess, and now Baroden is out catching a few to put in the games this season. Their hides are rough, hard to use, but its fierce and strong. You can see some wounds that this one survived and I wanted to show them off a bit. I'll be showing you off in this outfit alongside Aelita to be the star of a set I'm making. Scales are making a comeback and leathers are always nice, but this... Oh my this will be a whole new line. I went with a brutal look here, but clean and direct." Thera smiled, as usual giddy about explaining a new out fit.

"And the scales?" Celestial asked running her hands over the scales. "Wow... these are smooth, but feel so strong, like armored glass."

"Oh my... you distracted tonight. Is it the excitement, or that blush?" Thera grinned some, shaking his head, but accepting of her words, even if he had named them once before. He would forgive her, as he always would.

"As I said, they were skinned from Golden Geckos. The scales feel much stronger then they really are, but the look of them. These mutant lizards favor radioactive arenas, but it seems like they are highly resilient to genetic damage. Their scales actually repel most forms of radiation. Now the scales here have been fully cleaned, not a trace of radiation left, but they seem to have lost some of their sheen. That said, this new dull color is perfect to go with the hides and furs. They are dirty, they are rough, and they just have such a look to them. I intend to breed some just for the scales." Thera smirked. "Oh, I just cannot wait to show off this new line." He grinned, even giggled some.

Celestial just nodded a bit, looking over the outfit a bit more. "And the other two?" She asked.

"Oh yes yes, of course." Thera grinned, and pulled out the next one. Much like the first, it too was made of hides and the same golden scales, but Celestial quickly blushed, gasped out and turned, covering her face once more from its look. While Celestial quickly noticed the main scales, her eyes were quickly drawn the colors on the outfit, and of course bright colors always got Celestial's attention first. And among those colors were various feathers that lined one of the shoulders and Celestial was instantly reminded of the same incident that she had recalled in her mansion suite.

"Huh... oh Celestial... is something wrong? I thought you loved feathers? No, don't tell me, did the razor condors get loose again, did they hurt you?" Thera quickly asked, reaching over and holding her shoulder, trying to get her attention. Looking around for any clues from his staff, one of them just handing him a small glass cube.

Thera took the small cube with one his hands and tapped the top before looking in. At once, an image of Celestial in a similar to the one displayed appeared, putting on a song.

"Oh my word... Does that evil man know no bounds!" Thera gasped out, quickly moving over and wrapping his arms around the heavily blushing gardevoir as if trying to shield her, to comfort her. "Oh, dear dear girl. Its okay. That silly beast will never be allowed in a live show again, and I'll have a personal talk with Baroden about his treatment of you. I don't care if you are his slave, for him to use that session to test the network." He stated, rubbing her head a bit, just comforting Celestial.

"Nero, get that new Dread Zone outfit I designed for Celestial. We'll show her off in a Dread Zone grace this time, the poor girl needs a break." Thera said, just still holding Celestial and rubbing her shoulders. "Is that fine with you?" He asked, pushing her back just a bit so that she could look up to him.

"S-sorry... I..." Celestial started, only for him to put a finger on her lips to silence her.

"No, you never have to explain that. That whole show was great, but that ending and that foul beast trying to force himself into wedlock with you. You have a show to do still, but I won't make you wear anything like that right now." Thera continued. "Its all alright, its all fine."

Turning just a bit, Thera smiled as Nero brought over a large black seamless metal box, very very different from all the other wooden ones present. "I was saving this for your first live seasonal performance, but it will do nicely now." He stated, gently easing Celestial into a chair beside him and the box. "There were a few tweaks that I wanted to get out of the way, but we can manage. You'll still look fabulous in it."

Celestial just nodded as Thera pressed a hand down on the top, and the top of the box quickly rose up into a standing display several times larger then the box was tall, a large wavy blue field of energy holding the new outfit up.

It was more then enough to distract Celestial though as she looked over the new outfit. "It needs some adjustments to the size, and I was going to give it cyber wings, but no no, these crowds wouldn't care. Let them be dazzled as it is now." Thera smiled, standing beside it, all of his arms open wide over it, displaying the outfit in full.

Mostly a strong if dull neon orange with black accents and highlights, with a very strong black coat that had orange neon glowing seams, Celestial always loved the colors and they felt right to her, even strong in a way, but there was still so much more the outfit.

"Starting from the top, I've altered your headset into a new style for this outfit. Its not much of a change, but noticeable. I've slimmed it down to be more aligned with your ears, and be a bit more catching. The new scales look with turn and adjust light as your ears twitch and move with your during the music, and the new cheek mics are more defined, highly visible over the usual variations. They'll even cover the need for any blush on your cheeks, and no one will have to see your embarrassment from silly little things again unless you turn all red." Thera started. "More so, I've added these cute little hearts on top that will bounce with your ears. You said you like them on other things, so let's crown you with them this time."

"Next, we have the shirt and shorts. Made from the finest of Deathkin Silks, these should never tear, and you can easily care them. I've laced them with nano-steels and plascs even. They'll block any just about any small solid munitions round and just devour most energy points as well, but the look of a slowly shifting perfectly flowing cloth to streams of hardened shiny armor flowing over your body will be mesmerizing in and over itself. This lovely low cut V dip top was an obvious choice being both comfy and light, but also showing just enough of your chest and that lively little heart stone to be enchanting and yet hiding more then enough to be both teasing and respected, but still carry that urge of desire to see more because they've seen a taste." There continued, two hands outlining the shirt, while his third ran his fingers down it slowly, the strong bright orange color made them appear very bright in the current light, while the black glowing seams and lines over the shirt gave it a very nice Dread Zone feel.

"The shorts are much the same. You'll probably have to change panties for them, but I've got a set of nice lovely neo-black string tie set that would hold wonderfully onto your hips and let every one have a minor view of the strings to help further the look, but beyond that, these beauties were made just for you. They won't chaff or anything, and will fit wonderfully on you, but at the same time be more then loose enough to never drag. A simple half thigh length will give you a heavily relaxed and desirable look." Thera's hands now moved down to the shorts, showing a small pull of the waistband, the colors matching the shirt easily.

"The bands are still firm, but stretch, will adjust quickly, and they won't ride up and need to be pulled back down even if you do a vertical splits. More so, a shadow weave blended into the waist band and upper thighs will never let anyone see whats underneath, just let those panty strings tease them instead." He grinned, leaning the shorts forward a bit, and it just looked like darkness inside them.

"I've of course gone with the standard Dread Zone colors for these but I've swapped them around just a bit. Notice the energy lines glow black and even soak up light this time, but only enough to be truly there without hiding the shine of the orange. And of course, The Dread Zone gear is now in their preferred placement of iconic status, no one would dare argue about who you are with and galactic fans always love it when your show your own desire to be with Dread Zone. Barbaric yes, but still enticing no? Don't all the good boys always love it when they see someone showing a bit of power, and how many would risk taking on this gear without Dread Zone permission." He smirked, running a finger over the seams of the shirt.

"All the seams are lined with the black bar of course, but I've also included a few other patterns into the outfit as well so we can easily change it up a bit as needed. It could even be a nice and lovely advertising outfit that you could wear regularly. I know you love the techno look and this should fit all the needs even without the coat." He smiled.

"Now, the coat is something new entirely however. Its taken some influence from a trench coat yes, and the galaxy loves them. You're no warrior though, so I've slimmed it back, made it lighter, and split it further up in the back then normal by any means. I've altered its slack to be far more like a skirt then a coat, and if you ever wear a tail, it will always be comfortable and still be shown off." Thera stated now focusing on the coat, even turning the display to show off the back of the coat. Unlike the shirt and shorts though, the coat was mostly black in color, with matching neon orange seams and icons running over it, but one stood out easily along the back.

"Another gear here, but full designs and even more detailed then usual will be great for rear shots and poses, but more so, any shot of you bending over from behind should still be heavily accented. The skirt is soft locked and while it will still flow, twist and turn, and even open up for a spin, the skirt will never actually fully close and just hang a few centimeters off your legs and never actually touch them once activated. You can personally pull it a little closer if you want during breaks to hide your legs, but with this look, your inner thighs will always be on view." He explained turning the display back around after a few.

"More so, the insides of the coat will be always be shifting in a spiral design once you're on stage. Its a nice little hypnotic touch that the crowds should love. Humans are drawn to shifting lights, so it should keep their attention even more than most. It should be highly comfortable though. The same soft lock that keeps the coat open over your legs is also applied on the neck and your shoulders. No more having to worry about anything rubbing your neck too much with this one." Thera continued, hands to the shoulders and neck now, opening it up just a bit even.

"Its not as strong up here as on the legs, but it will rest gently like air on you, and should never catch on anything. Speaking of the legs though, I have a very special pair of boots for you on this one. The boots were originally designed as an early model of knee high combat boots, but I've relined the insides with padded wool and fine scorned leathers. These are likely the most comfortable pair of boots on Dread Zone at the moment. Self locking clips, and even an automated threading system ensure that the boots are easy to put on, and a quick release makes them just as easy to take off. They even have grav boot technologies built in so you can walk up any grav-tech surface. And even when you walk on the ceiling or walls, your coat will stay aligned with you." Thera smirked, showing off the boots for a few, before at last showing the whole outfit with his hands again once more.

"I've also taken extra care to ensure that the whole outfit teleports freely with you and will pass through everything you would find on the stages and between them. It will stick easily with you and can only be taken off personally, no worries about accidental leaving it behind." He smirked, already knowing that he had his elven princess as he called her hooked on this outfit.

Celestial didn't speak at first, just getting up and moving to the case, turning it lightly to look over it in full. "Wow Thera... you really over did it with this one." Celestial said after a long silence finally looking back to Thera. "You always have the best things for me."

"Truth be told, this is my third iteration of this outfit." Thera stated, moving a hand to his chin, while his other hands moving to Celestial's hips, just holding there in front of the outfit, and them moving up the hips of the shorts. "You seem a little lighter. Are you eating well?" Thera asked moving his hands to her shoulders now and then to the shoulders on the shirt.

"I'm fine. I've just been a lot more active lately. I've been doing a lot of training to help me pass the time between seasons." Celestial stated looking to him and taking a step back, spreading her legs a little bit, as well as lifting her arms up just a bit as to show off her body's shape and size to much larger snake man. "I didn't lose too much mass did I?"

Thera just looked her over a bit, but smiled. "No, not much. You're not too thin to worry, I'll just have to adjust it a bit more then I thought. I'll be sure to personally order you a healthy platter for after the show though, I can't have my star choosing to starve herself. Nero, get Juro on the line, we need something for Celestial's after show performance."

"J-Juro?" Celestial stated quickly losing her pose and looking over eager and excited. "When did he get back? I thought he was out and wouldn't be returning for weeks." Celestial stated already eager for some of his food, he was second best chef she had ever known and was even quickly his way to first. Everyone wanted a meal from him on the station for the most part, but he was always so busy.

"I spare no expense for you my little angel." Thera smiled. "And you could use the distraction after that horrid show this evening." He stated, his voice showing he was still a bit salty over which show Baroden had picked to tested the stations holo-gram systems with.

"Now now though, we have a show, let's get you ready." He quickly stated changing the subject.

Celestial quickly nodded, and moved over to the wardrobe again, opening up the bottom drawer though as Thera pulled the new outfit out of the display and put it on a large table, spreading it out and pulling out a sowing kit and few other things as he quickly went to work making a few minor adjustments to the shirt and shorts.

This left the rest of Thera's crew to prepare the rest of the room while Neewk and Salzi finished up with their own work. A few quickly went over a large floating set of keyboards and screens of holographic nature while one of them took Celestial's headset and began to work on that. A few more went over and quickly started to spread out a large number of make up kits even, while the last of the assistants moved to Thera and started to give his massive tail a massage as he worked, knowing that he worked best under pampering hands.

"How about this set?" Celestial asked pulling up a very thin but double string tie set of panties, a shiny space black in color, but with large strings. "Would these be long enough to be tied around my back to them but still show up on my hips?" Celestial asked.

"Why yes they will." Thera stated turning over to look at her for just a second, before going back to work. "Nero, doubly bow tie the outer strings along her back, but make sure they really reach up over her hips. We want the audience to see them."

Celestial just nodded, quickly slipping out of her current set of panties, blushing a little bit, but moving over to a stool. Sliding the new set of panties between her legs, she took one of ties to hold them up while Nero moved up behind her. "How loose do you want them?" Nero asked as he took one set of strings and kneeled down at her side, to tie the first set of strings. Even as he worked, Celestial looked around, already catching Salzi trying to catch a small glimpse of her fully naked form. Upon catching her eyes though, he quickly turned and went back to work though.

"Tight enough to stay on my thighs, but not enough to leave marks." Celestial told him, Nero nodding and tying the first string along her thighs so that it held in place, and then gently running a finger over the strings so that they gently stuck to her skin. This was all she said about Salzi looking at her however, and would just bring it up later. She had no intention of scolding him, she knew that he was still a child though, a teenager no less.

"Like this?" He asked, Celestial nodded. "Yep, that's tight enough." She smiled, and then turned letting him tie the lower string on her other side. With those two done, the panties would now stay on her hips, but that still left the other set of strings. "Thera, how high up would you recommend the strings?"

"All the way up, around your hips. We just want to give them a nice teasing look at the strings, nothing more." Thera stated, still working, but turning to face her, holding up the shorts, and then putting them back down to work on them a bit more.

"As high as we can then." Celestial stated looking back to Nero who took the other set of strings down and running a finger along them over her skin, the string just kind of staying placed as he worked to make sure to tie the string as high up as possible. Moving it up over her back just a bit, he then took the other string and did the same thing, before tying it into a large bow, and then doing the same with the other strings running them over her stomach before they wrapped around to her back and tying a second bow. "Thanks Nero."

Nero just nodded as Celestial stood up again and shook her hips a bit to make sure that the strings stayed put. "Oh, these feel nice. What did you do? They are nice and silky smooth but lightly chilled, comfortably so." Celestial asked before taking the top and holding it up, then holding it to her chest.

"Oh, just the usual. Mostly I shined them with prast oils and let them sit in the solar field to dry so the oils sunk in deep." Thera explained, before taking the shorts and moving back to Celestial, holding them to her hips. "Ah, perfection. Now listen, you need to stop starving yourself. You're a little thin for my liking and I won't have any of my models under fed or showing bone." He stated firmly. "You're one of the smaller species after all, you can't afford to be losing too much weight anyway. When you're back to normal, come see me again and I'll start another pair of sets to wear."

"Oh... you always spoil me." Celestial giggled some, but putting the shirt on before taking the shorts and putting them on as well. With that done, she took up a few poses. She put on her best smirk and leaned forward a bit, showing off her chest, with her hands on her hips, before leaning to one side, and doing a full vertical splits. Standing on her left leg, and holding up her right leg, wrapping her arms around her leg like it was a pole, she even lightly adjusted herself moving on her heel and then on her toes a bit on her leg, giving her calf a small teasing kiss. Afterwards, she just dropped to the floor, just hovering over the ground a few inches, her legs spread out in a standard splits, but facing away from Thera, before leaning backwards and smiling at him even if her back was almost bent in a very clear upside down U shape.

Slowly righting herself, she smiled happily as Thera grinned. He had been watching her the whole time, a hand to his chin, his other hands making a small frame of sorts as if directing a camera. "Nice nice... but... you need a bit more practice. You're still as fine as ever, but I won't have you straining yourself. Don't worry, we have a year at least to get you ready for the early shows." Thera smiled, helping her up and using his tail to get her coat while Nero brought over her boots. "Come, take a seat and us see how much you've really lost." He smiled, curling his tail back some, and offering her a spot on some of his smoothest tail scales.

Nodding lightly, Celestial just sat back and let him weigh her, just resting gently on his tail for a few. "Hmm... I'm not sure this healthy for you, but you still look nice. Make sure to treat Juro right now and savor everything he makes for you." Thera stated. "You clearly lost a bit of weight, but we'll worry about that after this."

"Don't worry. I'm still a bit heavier than all the other mature gardevoirs on the station. I know I'm still about half elf, but my nano-scans says its still all fine and I'm healthy." Celestial smiled, rubbing his tail a bit.

Thera just nodded some, but reached over and took her boots, holding one up and then letting Celestial slide her foot in. It easily slid in and once it was on, Thera just tapped the clips on the boot, and they quickly sealed and adjusted. "Oh, that is really comfortable." Celestial smiled, putting the other one on as well. With both of them on now, she hopped up and walked around a bit, even doing a small quick spins on her heels, before giving a few quick jumps. "Wow, these are nice. Its like I'm walking on vulpix fur, so soft and nice, but they also fully support me."

"I told you they may be the most comfortable set of boots on the station." Thera grinned, lift the coat up a bit and then taking it with his hands and then helping to slide it over Celestial's arms. Once it was, he just ran his hands over the neck, then down the sleeves, and finally down her sides. With the pass of his hands though, Celestial felt a small shift over her, feeling a cushion of air surround her where his hands passed over her and it almost felt a strange massage. More importantly though, the coat started to stick to that cushion of air, which stuck her. The coat was just now floating on her and staying with her even as Celestial walked over a wall. The panels of the wall normally a silvery gray quickly shifted to a rippling purple and blue now though and lifting her leg up, her boot just stuck to the surface and with some practiced movement and a quick half jump, Celestial was now standing fully on the wall. Although her hair fell back still moving towards the floor, the coat stayed with her and sure enough, the pull of gravity for her body was aligned against the wall now.

"Its nice... I can hardly feel it." She said, slowly walking up the wall as though she were on a catwalk, making sure to pose a bit, but more so making sure her walk was solid and accented her hips, legs and chest a lot. She even did another set of splits on the wall although she made sure to keep one full side of the boots on the wall at all times, watching her coat stay with her legs easily. As she moved though she just kept up her poses and stance, but started to pay more attention to her outfit. She eventually hit the ceiling with its gently curve that allowed her to just keep walking.

Even when fully upside down, when her hair fell back still towards the floor and covered her ears, her coat just stayed on her shoulders and the skirt with her legs. "This is really nice. I still can't even feel it pull down while up here, just the same gentle airy cushion." Celestial smiled as she looked down to Thera who was clapping excitedly from his newest work of art.

"Oh yes yes. This is just perfect and you are more so my wonderful elven princess!" Thera claimed out so happy and excited, oblivious to the fact that someone had entered the room. "Now... try teleporting." He called out so excited.

Celestial herself was just as oblivious at the moment as she closed her eyes, and the world flashed in a sudden bit of heat and warmth around, her body shifting in an instant feeling herself floating freely in that one tiny spec of time, of existence. In her mind, her senses were heightened and fell in a rush to the floor, righting herself,and when she opened her eyes again, she was where she had pictured herself. A sudden rush of everything, from taste to color, even sight and smell blended into everything for the shortest of bursts and then it was over. Celestial was now standing by Thera as she looked up to Thera again, the outfit still perfectly with her.

"Oh, this is nice." She smiled, quickly looking herself over in full, running her hands down her sleeves and over her shirt, before inspecting her shorts and finally her boots.

"Lovely! Lovely!" Thera cried out so loudly as the newest person to enter the room walked up. Dressed in a full suit and what looked like a silver mesh over the suit, the armor was easy to identify as the man walked up, holding one arm behind his back, but still had a noticeable slight limp.

"Thera, small problem. Nake-Dashi queens are sending more packages... rigged with fangs an-" The man started only for Thera to seem to go pale white. His eyes while facing the man, looked down between his legs. A very slight trail of glowing purple gel like substance was following him from the door to where the man was standing.

"Is... is that... b-bloo...bl-lbo... bloo-oo-od." Thera started, shaky and unnerved only for his eyes to slowly slide up towards the crown of his head and then fall back collapsing hard, a very loud thud sounding in the room, along with a loud crash as the large naga's upper body collapsed into the table that had been working.

The man just watched though, just giving a sigh. "And poi... and never mind..." The man stated, his head dropping.

"Thera?!" Celestial cried out, everyone just looking on as the man finally pulled his arm out from behind his back, wrapped in a hellish red fabric with stains of purple throughout.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. I'll just call for the Ex-Tem guards to come pick him up and move him back to his ship." The man sighed.

"What... hey are you bleeding?" Celestial asked finally noticing.

"Yeah, Nake-dashi venom doesn't heal well even with nano-surem. Sorry for the intrusion, I'll get someone to clean it up. Thera is very very insistent that I personally keep him updated on his kind though after last time." The man sighed, before leaving.

"Good luck on your show, I hope he did his part well. He'll like be out for several hours now..." The man said as he left, a large horse like arachnid alien moving in. Celestial easily recognized him as the head of her usual cleaning staff though, and merely gave a small wave as the janitor went to work. Easily leaning down and rubbing a silver cloth over the blood on the floor, before applying a bit of a spray to the spot, the man wiped it down with a red cloth and then moved on.

Celestial had tried many times to interact with everyone who she worked with regularly, but this janitor while great at his job never seemed to want to talk with her, or anyone for that matter. Celestial had asked more than once even if he was mute, but everyone she had asked just said no. She knew his name was Zeke, but she had still never heard him speak though.

Still, she spared him a glanced as he repeated his work on each splotch of blood, before looking back to Thera. Two of his personal aids were over by him, making sure that he was okay, but the rest of the people present were still working with Celestial to get her ready.

"Come now, let's finish here." Nero stated, and while Celestial was still worried, she moved back to the seat she had been on. "Thera will survive, a little thing like that means nothing to his kind."

"If... if you're sure." Celestial stated, but still looked back to Thera a few times.

"I am, I know him well enough. He hates blood remember, but Dread Zone offers him protection and gives him unlimited access to his true desires. He tolerates what he calls barbaric sports for the freedoms and protection he is given." Nero explained while Celestial nodded.

"Ready for your new head set?" One of the other workers asked looking back to Celestial now as she moved up, carrying a pair of small glass like covers for Celestial's ears. "Caneoko approved them while I was resetting, but she's having a small spat over the alignment of two of the holographic emitters on the V.I.P. ring and is trying to get them replaced with proper parts. She already approved the rest of the show as well."

Celestial just nodded and reached her hand out to take the small devices. "Thera went over the new designs with you already?" She asked, Celestial nodding lightly. "Do you have a preference on foundation color?" The assistant also asked, pulling up a small case of makeup. "You won't need much, just a light layer to help keep the shine off. Thera got a new shipment of nice combination make up kits. You're not allergic to any of the listed ingredients and Celica approved it all herself as well."

"Just some basic pale moon color. How is Caneoko doing otherwise?" Celestial asked taking the two small devices and setting them on the table beside her. Reaching for a small comb, she gently brushed the little bit of fur on her ears now, making sure they stood up straightly now while the aid opened up a small case and took a brush.

"She is ... occupied and busy. She is managing, a little out of it today, but working well. She said she refused to miss the show today and has been a little slow, picky, but otherwise she seems very healthy." The assistant stated, giving Celestial a quick pat down on her face and cheeks, before rubbing the brush gently over Celestial's face. "Now about your headset? You do know how to operate them fully? I'm not fully familiar with this model, these custom sets are rather strange."

"I know how to use them. I helped design the basic set for my use. I hate the glasses, but these fit great on my ears." Celestial nodded, reaching up to her left ear which tilted down and forward a bit. Although just barely in her sight now, it was more then enough for Celestial to see it and run her thumb of the first device. The small device quickly opened up and a glowing pair of blue strings held the device together. Reach up and placed the piece like it was a helmet over the tip of her ear. Gently closing it, she adjusted it just a bit so that it rested comfortably over her ear and didn't mess with the little bit of fur she had tipping her ear either.

Doing the same with her other ear now, Celestial took a few to swing her ears from side to side and back and forth even before smiling. "Okay, I got them fitted on nicely. Load up the new visor program." Celestial smiled as the devices got a little warm, perfectly warm and comfortable even.

The devices took a moment to get ready, and then suddenly, holographic large varied scales quickly slide down her ears that looked like armor, shifting and circling her ears as they moved before they fly covered her ears. With her ears now covered, a few new things appeared as well. Over her cheeks, a pair of bright neon orange circles appears and rested just over her skin, and a large orange bar appeared over her eyes. The circles quickly adjusted to match the shape of her cheeks, and the bar moved and shifted into a fancy visor like a set of holographic glasses.

Although fully solid in color at first, the circles and visor quickly faded in color, more than enough to see through at last letting Celestial see easily. A quick change of colors appeared over the visor, before it returned to its orange color, but only on the outside. From anyone looking to her face, the visor had stayed a neon orange color, but for Celestial, she could see the whole world in color with only a slight orange tint. A string of words and information quickly showed up for Celestial as well as a facial recognition system that showed the faces of people near her, along with their names and other basic information.

"I've reading a full sync with the test system." One of the technicians stated, before looking to Celestial.

"All good here. Ready for a sound check?" Celestial asked, Salzi nodding quickly now.

Celestial just closed her eyes and took a breath before nodding and then sang out a quick set of lyrics from one her songs that night. "~Take a hint, Take a hiiiint.~" As soon as the words rang out, the circles over her cheeks shifted, several different layers on them all shifting to match the sounds that they had picked up, a perfect set of circular sound bars.

"It all looks good." Salzi quickly stated, reviewing everything on his screens as the door opened once more, a large pair of robots entering the room. Large in size, with what looked like a massive engine for a chest, but still elfoid in body shape, Celestial easily recognized them. Although the looked much like her personal body guard and head of personal security, these robots were just of the same robotic populace. In any case, Celestial still couldn't help but feel safe around them.

"Sorry to intrude ma'am. We're just here for Mr. Mageez." The first one stated, both giving a small bow.

"Be gentle with him. We don't want him bruised like last time. He's still a bit soft from collapsing into the table." Nero stated moving up and walking with them towards the feinted body of Thera.

"He fell a bit hard on his bad arm, and heavily on his back, so let's try picking him up from the front here, maybe under his upper arms?" Nero suggested, the first of the two robots nodding and moving to carefully grab and then pick up Thera. "His tail should be safe in full, so wherever you can get a good grip."

The second robot nodded, and leaned down to get a good grip on Thera's tail before picking him up. Carefully, the two robotics moved into the corner of the room, and gently laid Thera down on a large pad that had opened up from the wall. "Destination?" The first one asked. "His private vessel, bay 3. I'll go with him. Good luck on your show Celestial, may you take their hearts away." Nero smiled and gave a small bow himself, before his body went entirely rigid. Engulfed in a wire like green light, his body quickly disappeared in segments along with Thera in seconds and then they were gone.

With Thera now handled, the two robots bowed again, before leaving. Once they were gone though, Celestial finally looked back and as her eyes passed over the mirror, she quickly had to look back. The final piece of her head set was up at last, two bright pink little hearts were now setting on top of her ears. She tilted her head a little bit, watching them both follow ears and bounce around as if on springs now. Grinning some, she straightened her head out once more, and then quickly spread her ears out away from each other, then fully up and forward, before tilting them from side to side with a grin, watching them bounce on her ears.

The others just watched Celestial for a few, before one of moved up to. "I think that's everything. The show starts in about 10 minutes, roughly 15 minutes local time." One of them stated. "I'll make sure Nero is back in 8 minutes."

Celestial just nodded as she moved towards the opposite door as them, moving up behind the main stage wall of the Rave House. Already she could feel the excitement, running her hand down the wall and it gave way to color. Although the stage remained unchanged on the other side, the newly activated one way glass wall let Celestial get a good look at the crowd, a crowd that had only known of the Dread Zone musical tastes for a short while.

To Celestial's knowledge, ever since the cultural shattering of this world had taken place, they had been locked into old recordings and only rough instruments for music. While still varied in style and such, they music of the world has easily gone stale and she could easily feel true excitement building from the crowds on the other side of the glass.

She looked over, a small table and cushion for her sit on already here, a cup of warm sultan tea having been already brewed for her to enjoy. Moving over and lifting her coat back, she sat down on the cushion and took the tea pot from its place just floating over a glowing red disc in the center of the table. Pouring her drink slowly, she looked over the cup and its emerald contents, slowly looking back up to the glass wall.

Releasing the tea pot, it just floated back to its spot over the small glowing red disc before nodding lightly to herself more than anyone else. She had been restricting her thoughts and mind for a bit, but taking her cup, holding the bottom on the cup in one hand, and the side with her left hand, she tipped it back to sip at the drink, her tongue darting out and collecting a little bit of the tea before her tongue slipped back into her mouth carrying the drink.

She just savored the little bit of the drink, before slowly going back for a second and third dip of her tongue into the drink.

With each sip of her drink though, she began to let the emotions of Rave House flow freely around her. She had always been able to tune into the feelings and desires of those around her. It was just part of who she was. For the first time doing this with someone, it was always a strong feeling and it took Celestial a bit to adjust to their feelings. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue for her though, she could easily do this with one or two people at a time without it begin a strain on her own mind.

For shows like this that easily numbered in the thousands though, it put a lot of strain on her. Even with this strain though, it was just as exciting for her, exhilarating and addictive even to feel the desire and urge of the crowd. She knew it would only get stronger though, more powerful as the seconds ticked by.

She knew all the songs already, and while the thoughts of her show were on her mind, she just focused more on sipping her tea. She let the feelings and minds around her expand for her into a single giant collective consciousness that she just let wash over her now though.

Her heart began to race and her breathing got a bit quick, her mind accepting and adding her own excitement to the mix around her now.

Quickly lost in time, and not even realizing that her tea pot was empty, she still sipped at air in her trance like state, only suddenly brought fully back to reality to the hand on her shoulder.

"Celestial, the show is starting." A familiar voice started and as she looked back, it was Nero. "The pre-show song list has already ended, and your countdown has already started. We only have a minute to get you to your cage to start the night."

"W-what... o-oh... Oh yeah, yeah." Celestial quickly stated getting up and running down the hall quickly to the other end of the long room before moving up the set of stairs there, before looking back over the stages and main room of the Rave House. From the second floor though, she could easily see V.I.P. ring of the main room.

While normally filled with high paying customers, usually non-local guests, Celestial could place most of the people currently on the elevated ring that was built to rest over the main floor. With Dread Zone have only just openly declared their purchase of the planet and revealing themselves proper, there weren't any real guests that fit the role of large time customer.

To help get locals use the idea of them not being alone in the galaxy however, Baroden allowed selective residents of the Dread Zone Station to come down to the planet without hiding themselves instead. Two of them of course stood out easily for Celestial however, two that she was very good friends with.

Looking very elfoid in shape, their many large fluffy pink tails quickly gave them away though as Celestial looked on smiling, glad that they could make it. Looking above them and towards the ceiling though, Celestial quickly spotted the cage she would start her show in and focused hard on it.

Closing her eyes, the world around her seemed to go quiet and faded away aside from the catwalk she was on, as well as the cage she was so focused on. Once more, Celestial felt the warmth and heat of the world around her heavily, feeling the world give away in full around. Her senses heightened again, she willed it and jumped forward off the catwalk before dashing through the wall and even through the V.I.P. ring as well as a few patrons moving to the cage that was hanging just above the ring.

Although it felt like seconds for Celestial, not even a second had passed for Celestial as a bright flash of light gave away her arrival as she now rested in her dark cage. Although having a solid floor, the cage was very basic, large thick bars like a small bird cage, the cage was very familiar for Celestial as she opened her eyes. There was plenty of room in the cage, room enough for a few people in, and more then enough for her to spin if around she wanted to, just standing in the middle as the cage finally began to slowly drop.

Giving one last look over herself to make sure that her outfit was still there in full on her, she smiled as she noticed the final timer appear on her visor.

-x-

The new music place certainly proved far better than advertised. Already an overly impressive sight for the locals, none of could tell that prior song list and light show wouldn't even qualify as an appetizer for the show. With over 1750 locals present already, and still a line outside, the place was fairly full, but there was still room for plenty more.

While locals weren't allowed access to the V.I.P. ring which acted as the second floor of the Rave House as Dread Zone had named it, it was still easy to see that it was in use. A number of foreign creatures were using it to hang out and talk and enjoy the night, but none of them were human it seemed. While most had what looked like human features, most had other strange features. Some had animal like fur or tails, even ears and claws, and others still had more than two arms or legs. There was still something vaguely human about them though, but there were glimpses of some very non-human in any way or shape things moving among them. Still, a pair of smaller, but still what appeared to be heavily armed robotic guards stayed at bottom of both stair cases to help make sure that no one went up.

Although a strange sight, none of the locals seemed keen on starting a fight, they were all there for the live concert which was supposed to show case a whole new series of music and show. The Pre-Show song list was clearly not from the world to begin with, but the locals seemed to enjoy it, and the stage effects of holographic instruments flashing in and out with each note was definitely something to look at.

The entire place was a whole new place for anyone as well. What appeared to be polished glass walls and floors, with lots of neon lights, the very clearly fancifully dressed bartenders, nude pieces of eye candy waitresses and even a few waiters, as well as the large two to three meter tall neon colored walking talking and possibly even thinking robotic guards were quite the sight. The locals knew that not even a week ago, this whole place was just a rubble filled set of collapsed city blocks, but now it seemed to be the new home of music and dance.

It was just one bit of amazement after the next for them as the last song died down, and yet another fool had dared to the touch the eye candy, only to pull his hand back with electrical burn marks now, before getting grabbed and dragged to the doors. Everyone knew by now that rules of no touching the eye candy were heavily enforced aside from a few drunk fools, but none of them cared about it as long as they weren't thrown out with the offender.

With the last notes of the song dying down into silence though, the floor returned to a neon black color with neon orange lines forming a large grid to keep the place somewhat lit while holograms all slowly shifted back into small spheres that just hung out underneath the V.I.P. ring above them. The room's three stages, the one main stage along the far wall away from the entrance was clearly the largest, while the two smaller stages were in the corners of the room on either side of the main entrance.

The back wall of all three stages quickly changed to clock however, beginning the final countdown to the main event for the night. More so, someone from the V.I.P ring was walking down from the ring along one of the two stair cases up to it. Dressed in a flowing silver dress that came down her knees, the rather tall, but vaguely humanish dark skinned woman with overly tall ears and long fingers moved up to the main stage.

Easily moving up to the main stage, she just grabbed a microphone that appeared at her side, and began to address the audience. "Thank you all for coming to the Grand Opening of my Rave House. I'm sure all you have all enjoyed a taste of what you can come to expect from my hall of music. Of course, it all pales in comparison to a live show, but don't worry, our lovely star Celestial shall grace the stage shortly." The woman started.

"Don't worry though, there won't be such a long break between the basic shows and live performances next time. I just thought that I'd use this chance to help remind you of a few things. For starts, the bars will be serving drinks only during live shows. Our staff enjoy the shows as much as you will, and while there will still serve you drinks, make sure you place your orders for food before the live shows. Secondly, since I've noticed a number of you have been touching the eye candy we have on staff for you." She continued.

"Surely by now, you understand that I was very serious about the fact that they are not to be touched. You will get hurt, and then you will get tossed out. They are here to look nice, and give you a nice view, but they are not here for your pleasures. In the coming weeks, there will be a gambling station, and a sexual delights spa in the lower levels, but just because we have eye candy here doesn't mean you get to play with them. So, hands off because there are no refunds." The lady smiled, the countdown still going as she gave her little speech, nearing its completion.

"Of course, with those little announcements out of the way, I'm sure we can all agree that there is something you want so much more. The lovely star gracing our stage tonight is none other then one of the lovely stars of the Dread Zone Empire, Celestial." She cried out loudly now, as the clocks began their final count down.

"Tonight will be a short show, but trust me when I say you have never seen anything like her. And one last reminder, even after the lovely star leaves our stage, we will return to a standard musical show. Even more, there is a gift that Celestial shall give away after she has left the stage. It is not mine to give away, so don't ask me to rig it. You have nothing of value that you can offer me anyway." She smirked.

"With that however, I give way to the star. Enjoy the show." She said at last, before walking off, and returning to the V.I.P. ring as the counter finally hit its final minute, counting down just the seconds now. By the time that the lady had finally returned to her seat

With her words, the final few orders of foods were being taken of as the bars put up drinks only signs, all in preparation for the upcoming event.

As the final orders were being taken out and last of the current batch of drinks being served, every one was left wondering what kind of singer this girl with the fancy name of Celestial was supposed to be. The clocks all continued to tick down, and with everyone looking to the main stage, no one paid much attention the flash of light above the V.I.P. ring.

With only a few final seconds ticking down, the cage that had been hidden in the darkness dropped down now, quickly getting bright. A very noticeable glowing neon orange cage held up by a neon silver chain caught everyone's eye as it dropped down, Celestial in the cage now.

"I'm just like candy, I can be sweet." Celestial's cheeks quickly shifted and vibrated with the words as the song started, matching round sound bars appearing on the sides of each stage now as she was lowered over the crowd. Her hand just held to her chest at the moment, everyone looking on could easily see her through the bars at last.

"If you're a good boy, I'll be your treat." Although there were only a few slower held out notes to the song as Celestial seemed to speak the words more then sing them to start, she already had everyone's attention now, but this slow start only served to get people's attention, and from there everything would change.

As soon as she finished her first verse, she vanished in the same light that she had appeared in the cage in, but the same light also appeared on the main stage now causing a massive stir among the locals who were searching for Celestial, but her voice quickly revealed her once more.

"~I'm just like candy, I can sweet.~" The lines may have repeated, but now in full song now as she appeared at the back of the main stage, slowly walking forward now, a pair of back up dancers at her side. While dressed very similar to Celestial in matching tops and bottoms, they lacked the coat Celestial had and their boots were considerably smaller as well. Celestial's outfit however was already shifting lightly back and forth between its free flowing cloth like form, and strands of hardened plating like bars traveling down her outfit, heavily accenting her hips and chest.

"~If you're a good boy, I'll be your treat.~" She easily walked up to the front of the stage, her back up dancers with her just matching her pose and walk as she moved over the stage. Each of them were clearly swing their hips a bit wide, making sure to drawn attention to themselves as walked though nearing the end of the stage.

"~It might be nice, but whatever you do.~" Celestial hit the end of the stage at last, one foot just barely hanging off the stage, as she leaned forward a bit, her hands on her knee of the leg she had resting just barely over the edge.

"~Don't have too much, I'm no good for you.~" Celestial quickly turned away from the crowd and waved a finger at them as she moved towards the back of the stage once more, utterly teasing the crowds now as her back up dancers feigned surprised, hands over their mouths and stepping back to let Celestial pass, before her back up dancers teleported to the other stages.

"~Now unwrap me and you'll see~" Celestial jumped back to the end of the stage where a chair was waiting for her now, slowly spreading her legs and moving her hands up to her coat as she leaned forward teasing as if she would pulling her coat off.

"~One little taste brings you to your knees.~" Celestial's back up dancers were already on their knees now as if begging for a taste for Celestial to let them back with her as she ease her coat down but quickly brought it back up proper.

"~It might be fun, but whatever you do.~" She smiled leaning back up and proper, closing her legs quickly now as she smiled at the crowd.

"~Don't have too much, I'm no good for you.~" She once again waved her finger at the crowd like they were naughty children, but this time even her ears moved back and forth with her finger as if telling the crowd no before she vanished in light once more.

As the song continued with just the echo of the last word, the two back up dancers jumped to their feet and looked around a bit, and starting to dance some by themselves. As more gentle echoes of the last lyric sounded though, the entire crowd looked around themselves for Celestial, everyone wanting this new figure greatly now.

For Celestial though, she had continued to tease the crowd. Teleporting in once behind one of her singers, she blew the crowd a kiss, but by the time that everyone had turned to face her, she was gone again. Still the song continued as the crowd searched for Celestial who waited a number of seconds before teleporting back in, this time on top of the speakers by the left side bar. She appeared for only a few seconds though, facing towards the entrance with her legs crossed and giving a teasing smile towards the crowd, but quickly teleported away again as the looks rushed towards her.

"~I'm just like candy, I can be sweet.~" The lyrics started once more and now Celestial and her back up dancers were once more on the center stage. Celestial never stopped the teasing though as she cupped the cheek of one of her dancers who looked over excited and trying to lean into her now.

"~If your a good boy, I'll be your treat.~" She continued, now cupping the chins of both of her back up dancers as if holding them up and encouraging them, both of them on their toes leaning in towards her.

"~It might be nice, but whatever you do.~" Celestial slowly let her dancers lean in more and more as if they were going to give her a kiss on the cheek, a sly smile on her face even as she sang out.

"~Don't have too much, I'm no good for you.~" Celestial quickly pushed them both back and they flailed their arms a bit as they were pushed, falling back and landing on their hands and back sides, before quickly teleporting back to their previous stages once more leaving Celestial to jump back slowly and take a few poses for the song, before teleporting back to her cage.

A nice cushioned rounded seat quickly floated up from the bottom of the cage for her when she returned to her cage as she took a seat as if on a floating bar stool now, which she quickly sat on as she looked around, the cage just a meter off the floor now in the center of the room. Although some quickly tried to reach in, the cage repelled them back easily, a gentle blue film like energy cover stopping anyone from touch Celestial as she teased them all now.

"~Lick me, Suck me, and bite me gently,~" Celestial teased everyone around her, giving herself a slow careful hug, a lollipop appearing in the cage for her, which quickly took and toyed with.

"~It doesn't matter if it gets a little messy.~" Celestial continued, holding the candy in front of her mouth like a microphone now, lifting a leg up slowly towards the crowd in front of her.

"~I'll tell you can you stop or when you can have more.~" Celestial just slowly held out the nibbled on lollipop now, as if going to offer it to the crowd as she slowly lowered her leg again, before she vanished once more, teleporting away while the cage quickly rose back up over the crowd, many trying to follow it though.

"~I'm just like candy, I can be sweet.~" Celestial returned to the main stage, and the show ramped up once more, several dozen pieces of holographic candy appearing to rain over Celestial now as she sang out. Most of course were pre-war candies like those in advertisements, but there were still a number of post-war treats that the locals easily recognized as well, along with bottles of Nuka-Cola.

"~If your good boy, I'll be your treat.~" Celestial slowly walked up towards the end of the stage once more, her back up dancers mirroring her image as she took her time with her slow walk, before leaning over the stage in a very dominant, but revealing and almost lusty pose.

"~It might be nice, but whatever you do.~" Celestial leaned her head and shoulders forward a bit more making it very clear that she was really talking with the audience.

"~Don't have too much, I'm not good for you.~" Celestial waved her finger as if telling the crowds they were doing something wrong and needed to be stopped, almost scolding them while her ears once more waved alongside her finger, before quickly jumping back to the other end of the stage against the wall once more onto another floating cushion.

"~Now unwrap me and you'll see.~" Celestial just once more lifted a leg, running her fingers down the strings that held her boot on, the crowds watching as they loosened instantly as her hands moved over them.

"~One little taste brings you to your knees.~" The cushion that Celestial was one slowly sank down now until she was eventually on the floor, her hands at her shoulders barely pulling her coat down and off.

"~It might be fun, but whatever you do.~" Celestial never stopped her teasing as two large pyramids of Nuka-Cola appeared at her sides as she eyed the crowd now.

"~Don't have to much, I'm no good for you.~" She quickly pulled her coat back on fully, her boot just as quickly tied and on proper again as she jumped up, knocking over one of the pyramids that just fell back into the stage and vanished, quickly followed by Celestial herself.

As the lyrics turned to just the instruments once more, Celestial once more played with the crowd, hiding as a set of spot lights rapidly moved around as if searching for her now, the usual Dread Zone theme of a nice bright neon orange color spinning around the room.

After a few, they quickly zoomed to the right side of the stage were Celestial was sitting behind the bar sucking on her lollipop once more, but once found, she grinned, held it up, and then flicked it towards the crowd as she vanished. Just as her lollipop would have been caught though, it too quickly vanished in the same small flash of light.

As the beat continued, the lights spun around again, only this time they quickly zoomed onto the left side of the bar now, where Celestial was now sitting on the top of the large shelf full of drinks, sipping at one herself.

"~It doesn't matter of if gets a little messy.~" Celestial teased, slowly pouring the bottle back and watching as the contents appeared to splash over her chest. Although it was clearly a hologram and there was no real liquid as she vanished once more, the sight only heavily turned on the crowds even more.

"~I'll tell you when you can stop or when you can have more.~" Celestial reappeared this time on the bottom of the V.I.P. ring, walking slowly updside along it. Her hair reaching down, the coat and rest of her was walking as if normally along the ceiling now, a set of holographic bags in her hands filled with treats, first held tightly to her chest, and then offered out as if giving them away.

"~I'm just like candy, I can be sweet.~" Celestial sang out, her back up dancers now on the bottom of the V.I.P. ring with her, before she teleported to the underside of her cage, still standing as if on the ceiling.

"~If you're a good boy, I'll be your treat.~" Celestial continued looking around at every 'above' her as she spun around slowly.

"~It might be nice, but whatever you do.~" Celestial happily sang out, giving one last spin, letting her coat spread out behind her.

"~Don't have too much, I'm no good for you.~" Celestial came to a quick stop, her dancers rushing to her side and making the small jump as the landed still upside down underneath the cage behind Celestial.

"~Now unwrap me and you will see.~" The backup dancers moved their hands to gently take Celestial's coat and teasingly start taking it off.

"~One little taste brings you to your knees.~" Celestial faked a quick kiss to one of her dancers who quickly let go of her coat and did in fall to her knees on the bottom of the cage.

"~It might be fun, but whatever you do.~" Celestial gave a longing look to her dancers, her hands moving up towards the dancer's face.

"~Don't have too much, I'm no good for you.~" Celestial quickly instead grabbed her coat, pulled it right back up, and gently pushed the other back up dancer back, before teleporting away once more.

The song and show alone had the entire crowd riled up heavily, but having witnessed Celestial in the flesh at last, no one in the crowd could even try to argue that the price of admission, the two thousand caps that they had paid and didn't know how they could say it was worth it.

Even more, most of the people present were already fairly wealthy in some regards and just wanted to see what this new faction could truly offer. A few had even been hired to get in and try looking around to see what was going, but once Celestial finished her first song, pretty much everyone was overly eager for more.

Over the course of the next hour, through twelve songs, everyone cried out and began to demand more from Celestial as she gave one final bow with her back up dancers, before they left the stage in one last flash of light. While the first song had been a very clear show of how much of a tease and woman she was, around half the songs put just as much into show casing how good of a singer and dancer that she was.

As her show ended at last though, the bars returned to full service instead of drinks only, but most of the crowds seemed far more interested in crying for more. Although the stages returned to a large set up of holographic instruments that began playing once, and the dance floor appeared to fall back into a black hole underneath the glass tiles, it barely slowed the crowds at first.

-x-

12 short songs, a simple local hour long show with a few small breaks between the music to help Celestial recover between them, and already the crowds were screaming for more. The Dread Zone residents knew it would be a short show by their standards, but this performance was far more for Celestial and her master Baroden than the locals to begin with, being more a live test of the equipment and chance for Celestial to get some live experience once more. Still, even in a private room above the main floor, Celestial could feel the crowd's excitement and hear their cries.

Celestial was already panting a bit as she sat in the new room looking over the crowds below from the window. Turning back and moving over to the bed to sit down, but unintentionally falling back into the bed and laying down, Celestial smiled some as she could still feel the excitement, the desires and urge for more, and while there was still so much lust outside on the main floor, she couldn't help but enjoy that feeling.

"Now now my lovely lady, we mustn't be so quick to sleep." A teasing voice started as someone looked over. The girl looked mostly human, but her seven large flowing fluffy pink tails and very clear markings of tattoo like whiskers on her face gave her away along with her densely green eyes.

"Oh, hey Celica." Celestial smiled some, just looking up. "Did you enjoy the show... where's Aelita, I thought I saw you both together."

"Oh, we both enjoyed the show, but Aelita is a meeting with her mother and Mr. Sethor. They are discussing a few things with a few of the ambassadors from our angry neighbors to the south east. I don't care much for politics, but Aelita of course has to learn them if she wants to please her mother." The new girl stated, pulling up Celestial into a sitting position. She then just smiled and helped take off the coat Celestial had. "So... ready for the after show? Going to pick someone quiet this time after what happened on the station?" Celica teased getting a major blush from Celestial.

"Yeah... I could... slow is just best tonight." Celestial said softly, trying to lose her blush again as she slowly leaned back up, eventually sitting properly. Now just watching as Celica turned and moved for the wall, running her hands over one of the panels, and the wall opened up. Dozens of small cases were present and the fox girl just opened up a few of the boxes, taking a few from their shelves.

"So... how about... a nice cherry red build, to help hide that silly blush tonight." Celica teased. "I can easily order up a nice three piece for you tonight, and... oh oh, I know I know." She smirked, reaching up for a large flexible sheet of glass that was resting on the side of the shelf. "How about... a Nyxin Solar Bar Dress, with long gloves, long socks, and pair of spider heels?"

"W-what? N-no no. I want a slow night!" Celestial gasped out, blushing hard, burying her face in her hands and shaking her head. "That's a courtship outfit! I'm not ready to commit to a mate yet! I'm still too young for that... I'm not even able to have children yet!" She cried out loudly, her face entirely red now at Celica's teasing.

Celica just laughed. "Oh... I'm just teasing." She grinned, moving over Celestial, slowly pushing her back onto the bed, holding her down, and then just barely grabbing and squeezing the gardevoir's left breast. "And its not a courtship dress, only two cultures demand such an outfit for courting, and we both know you don't follow them." The fox girl teased, leaning down close over her.

"But... if you're interested of course... I'm still available." She teased further, Celestial gasping out and burying her face entirely in a pillow that she had just grabbed, hiding her face, her chest, as much of her body as she could under the pillow. Celica just burst out laugh, giving Celestial one last teasing squeeze before getting up and sitting on the side of the bed with the glass pane, pulling up a few more outfits while Celestial hid.

"Hmmm... Solar Rose Red... or, let me see here... Royal Ocean Blue?" Celica finally asked after a few, reaching over and pulling the pillow off a still very red Celestial. "Come on, up up. I'm done teasing for now." Celica giggled some, reaching over and gently pulling on Celestial's arm to pull her up slowly. There on display of the glass pane were two very different, but rather laid back outfits.

The first one that she had mentioned and pulled up was a simple strapless dress that almost looked like a kimono, a shiny red that matched the color of shiny red roses under the light of a sun, a small shine over it as well as a small shifting pattern of small lights over it. It was a decent long dress, with long gloves, but clearly lacked the full assortment of high standing jewelry, cuffs, and collars. "This one is always loved across the galaxy. I can get a simple set of light sandals to wear with this, and we could go with a basic traditional look for the Pokus Homeworld, where your gardevoir ancestors came from."

"Or... we can go with this." She continued, swiping her finger across the sheet pulling up the next outfit. A deep ocean blue, but nicely polished and very strong with its color, this outfit was a two piece, what looked like a simple one piece swimsuit under piece with long sleeves that came down to pair of rings that would hold it on her index and ring fingers. The outer piece was half open face robe, with large shoulder fur that would hang just barely on her shoulders, while slowly wrapping around her waist, but leave her breasts and upper chest open for the most part, but still covering her legs nicely.

"Its far less traditional compared to the former, but many groups in the Beta Quadrant like it for nights on the town. Its not overly popular on the galactic scale, but its a simple piece and rather easy to wear and is still easily laid back." Celica explained as she pulled back up both pieces and let them rotate side by side on the screen.

"Of course, we could go with something else, but this is what I'm thinking tonight if you want something simple. No fancy prep time, and we would only need some like make up to pair with them as well." She offered, but Celestial had already made her choice seeing the two outfits.

"No, no that second one looks nice. Is the one piece made to-" Celestial started, only for Celica to know exactly what she was going to ask.

"Its best worn without under garments, but we can get one in your size no problem. It provides some support on its own for your chest and will be comfortable below as well." Celica explained. "Thera already updated your sizes, so there's no need to get a full size adjustment again today at least. I can order it and have it shipped over in just a few minutes, which is perfect to get your old make up off."

"Yeah... okay, I'll wear it." Celestial stated, getting up and taking off her boots, before moving over to a small seat beside the bed and next to the large shelves of make up.

"And... ordered. It will be in here shortly." Celica smiled, before moving over to the shelves beside Celestial now. Reaching into the shelf, she grabbed a small tray with a few padded clothes and some oil like liquid. "Now let's clean you up."

Celestial just nodded, and held still while Celica dipped one of the pads into the oil and let it quickly soak into the cloth, before wrapping it gently around two of her fingers. "Its a little cold, but don't worry, its not freezing." Celica smiled as she gently rubbed Celestial's cheeks down with the rag. The oil easily left small trails over its path as Celica worked.

"So, do we have a pick for the after show meet up yet?" Celica asked easily finishing with one cheek leaving it with a shiny layer of oil that just lightly stuck to the gardevoir's skin.

"Maybe... I can feel a few minds that are ... gentle? Excited yes, still lustful, but they aren't needy. They just want to relax... well at the very least they don't..." Celestial said, her voice a little slow, not sure on her word choice, but still trying to find the right words.

"They want to enjoy the music first and aren't planning to head to the rebuilt Gomorrah?" Celica teased, working on her other cheek now. Although the oil hid any blush under it, Celica knew that Celestial was red underneath it once more.

"Y-yeah..." Celestial stated, starting to feel the chill of the oil proper, but still didn't move. She was a little eager to get the oil off though, before it did get much colder though.

Setting the first cloth back into the same basin that the oil had been in to start with though, the oil was quickly pulled from the cloth leaving it fully dry once more and Celica just folded it back to set it back in its slot. Reaching for another cloth, Celica used this one to slowly wipe along the oil on Celestial's cheeks and with just one good pass, the oil and all the make up from before the show was pulled off easily from one cheek, and then Celica easily cleaned the other cheek as well, no make up left on Celestial.

Celestial was rather happy though to feel the oil gone. She very rarely enjoyed the cold after all, and feeling the oil come off so easily was always a nice thing. "I still don't like that stuff." She stated as she looked over into a mirror to see her proper skin shining nicely on its own once again.

"Now now, its a nice make up remover, and its gentle on your skin. Its also fast and clean." Celica said, setting the oiled cloth onto the back empty slot of the train, where a lid closed over it and pulled out the oil and makeup right off the cloth. When the lid opened up again, the cloth was dry once more, and the oil basin in the middle of the tray was slowly filling back up with now clean oil, while the make up components were dealt with. "You just don't like the chill." She teased.

"So... how are you dressing me up tonight?" Celestial asked rather quickly, trying to change the subject, looking slowly over the shelf again, watching what Celica was picking out.

"I'm thinking just a light shine to let the fire place do its work and let you stay relaxed, but still look nice, but I am going to high light your eyes a little, and maybe give you a little gold blush. Just enough to add some color and brighten you up." Celica explained, picking a few small bottles and some trays. "Do you have a color preference to add some flavor to your eyes?"

"No, I trust you'll pick something nice. Just... keep it gentle tonight." Celestial said, a little more relaxed now, if slightly slow. It was clear that she was starting to restrain her mind once more, the "high" of the excitement from the crowd no longer as strong in her. Its not that she didn't enjoy it, but she always feel that it was more proper to focus more on the person she was spending time with when meeting them. She knew her friends and crew well enough that she never worried about trying always stay in sync on a mental level with them.

"How about... some Pale Lunar Moon base, and a little Spacial Void Black to let them stand out some, but not too much. It will blend well with your natural tones, but shouldn't be aggressive." Celica stated and pulled out one last tray and set it down in easy reach.

"Eyes closed, stay relaxed." Celica started, taking the first tray and a small brush getting a nice very pale color ready.

"That one looks new?" Celestial stated, having given it a small glance, but doing as she was told.

"Fresh order. Normally I get my whites and similar colors from L'Mest, but Fichi came out with a new blend. Nero told me that Thera is using it, and Aelita says her mother swears by the brand, so I gave it a try, it passed." Celica explained applying a nice quick, but solid coat over her eye lids. "It supposed to be entirely impossible to feel and should last up to four galactic days with no concerns. Nobles in the capitol worlds favor Fichi just for the durability, feel, and lack of allergies. See? Already done."

"Huh?" Celestial opened her eyes and looked to the mirror. Her eyes very clearly outlined with a new color now, a very dark line around her eyes, that easily faded to white, and then back to her natural silver skin tone. "W-wow, that was fast! And I really didn't feel a thing." Celestial stated, usually disliking the feel of anything on her eyes even when closed.

"The brushed helped." Celica grinned, but just easily started putting the first tray away. "It won't be so quick to remove as your last batch of make up, but it will last even despite any personal interactions that your guest may partake of."

Celestial just blushed a little more, but still nodded. "I really hope someone out there isn't interested in sex tonight..." Celestial stated, but still leaned forward a bit more once again as Celica opened a second tray.

"I'm sure you'll manage and find someone you'll be happy enough to spend some time with tonight." Celica smiled, pulling out a large brush. "Just a little color tonight, a simple layer. We only want to add some color to your face."

Rubbing the blush over her cheeks, Celica gave them a gentle coating of a golden blush. "Nice and quick." She smiled, Celestial nodding as well, both turning when a light appeared on an empty shelf. "Ah, and there is your outfit for the night. Shall we get you dressed?" Celica teased, moving over and getting the small black crate from the dressing room. It quickly opened up as easily as before, the coat already resting and freely floating inside.

Still sitting up, if bending forward a bit, Celestial easily slid her new boots off, happy with how easily the came of and kinda sad that she wouldn't get to wear them a bit more, she did love how comfy they were. "When you get a chance by the way, make sure to ask Thera commission you a set-" Celestial started, only for Celica to grin, but shake her head.

"Now now, don't ruin my night talking about him. I know he you like him, but we have our issues, and we'll sort them out on our time." Celica said, still be rather cheerful, but Celestial knew that it was her being polite. She had tried to help the two talk with each other a few times, they could do great work together after all, but it just never seemed to take.

"Okay... I'll let it go." Celestial said, nodding some. "Those really are some great boots though." She smiled as she took off her shirt now, and then handed that to Celica as well, who happily put it back in the case along with her boots.

"Oh, those are some panties." Celica teased as Celestial finally pulled off her shorts now. "That was a lovely tease though hiding them in shadow weave." Celica giggled, before putting the shorts away as well, before putting the black case away. She quickly picked up a new smaller box however and set it on the bed beside Celesital, and opened it up.

"Oh, that is pretty." Celestial said, leaning over the box a bit, running a hand over the fabric. "It feels warm to the touch? Warmer then usual for a freshly printed fabric?"

"Its the blend. It will stay for a while, it holds heat well. Should make it perfect for tonight. If it really is a slow night for you, you'll have a warm blanket over you all night." Celica teased, reaching in and holding it up. "Come on, to the mirror." Celica smiled, standing up and holding the main piece of the outfit. Celestial did as well, moving over to the mirror and looking over it as Celica stood behind her, holding the outfit up in front of her at her shoulders.

Celestial just nodded a bit and looked at it resting over her. "That does feel nice, and it looks good too." Celestial smiled.

"You showed a lot of leg tonight, let's keep up the theme." Celica teased, leaning over her shoulder a bit, before leaning up and giving her long ear a nibble. "I may want a taste of you with this myself." She giggled, Celestial gasping out and covering her face.

"NO... no no... come on Celica, I've still got to finish this night, no m-more teasing." Celestial gasped, half whining, but also submitting a bit.

"Oh fine fine." Celica giggled once more, but let up. "Can you hold this?" She asked, letting Celestial take the dress. "Ready?" Celica asked, a hand on her hips, ready to untie the panties for Celestial who just nodded, and with a quick tug, the knots were undone, and Celica just let the panties fall off, onto one of her tails which moved them to a small bin to be washed and sent back to Thera.

Moving back to the box with the coat though, Celica let Celestial put on the under piece on her own to start. "Oh... some help with my hair and these arms?" Celestial asked, Celica just taking the coat and bringing it over, setting it on a chair though.

"For you, anything?" Celica said, reaching up and taking Celestial's hair, holding it back some letting Celestial pull the under piece up and over her chest. Swaping to using her tails to hold up Celestial's hair, she reached over and held out one of the sleeves for Celestial to put her hand in, and then helped her get comfortable in it, even slipping the rings over her fingers for her before moving to the other side to do the same thing again.

"There, nice and snug, and oh so warm." Celica smiled, before moving for the coat. Still holding up Celestial's hair with her tail, it was easy to help Celestial put on the coat. "You should love this outfit even on cool nights. I'll make sure Lexxy gets the fabric blend so he can make some more outfits out of it."

"Thanks." Celesital smiled, looking over herself once more, now properly in the outfit though.

"I'm glad you like it, I-" Celica started, only for one of her tails to start with a small tune. "Oh... and here I was hoping to help you pick out a guest." Celica whined, but merely lifted a tail up to her shoulders and reached into it with a hand, silencing the song.

"Wasn't that?" Celestial asked turning to face Celica.

"You're lovely duet with Anderial, why yes it was. I loved it, and made it my holo-tone." Celica grinned. "Makes it easy to enjoy... even if it means I need to step out. Enjoy your night, I'll hopefully be at the party back up on the station afterwards." Celica teased blowing one last kiss to Celestial before stepping out of the room.

Celestial just nodded though, knowing that she still had to pick a guest now though, and looking back towards the wall as Celica left.

Finally alone, and dressed in full, it was time to finally pick a guest. Although Celestial had a ideas in her head, it was time to find out she one would spend an hour, maybe even more with her. Using just the small window for now, she looked over the crowd, letting her mind feel the emotions of those still present once more. A few minds quickly stood out, but Celestial just shuddered and pushed those emotions of obsessive desire out of her head. She quickly flat out avoided the groups of anyone with such a mind.

There was still a lot of lust in the place though, everyone one still wondering what the prize of the night was. Many of course were clearly hoping for sex, and while that was just part of what had become Celestial's thing, it was still something that she didn't really want that night given the events of the day. Even thinking about it made her grow red once more, Celestial just lightly shaking her head again.

Searching for new emotions, Celestial was looking for someone quiet, someone who just wanted to talk perhaps, or maybe ask for a private show. Those emotions were a bit harder to find though, and she considered looking just at female guests for the night, but upon finding one girl, a very questionable lustful woman who felt of murder, Celestial quickly would have turned away, only to notice her grab one of the waitresses, and she knew that the girl wouldn't be present for much longer, a pair of Ex-Tem guards already moving to collect and toss the girl out.

Shuddering some, she quickly turned and looking off to the main bar, she found a few minds there that were rather quiet, but what finally drew her attention at last was one that seemed to be more curious then anything else. Curiosity wasn't a trait that was often showed up in the Rave Houses, not on a world like this. On the Dread Zone station most certainly, but not on a culturally destroyed planet.

Her own curiosity peaked now, Celestial searched over the bar and found the group where the feeling was coming from. Although there, it was still over powered by other emotions, so she wasn't quickly tell who it was coming from. Moving over and tapping the wall, its color faded and she looked over the room in full. Like before with the stage wall, it was of course a one way image, and no one could see her as she looked down over them.

"Voice Operations, Celestial... Menu... Profile Selection... Placement Selection, Main Bar..." She stated at last, a menu quickly appearing to her side, but Celestial of course knew it by heart now, the basic hologram interface something she worked with frequently. She knew the commands she needed, and she knew that she just needed a few seconds for it to bring up the proper commands.

With her last words spoken though, a holographic window appeared at her side, a dozen pages present in the window that could easily be looked through. Merely tapping the wall again, it faded back to its proper color. Reaching over, she pushed her fingers through the new window, and grabbing the air where it was with her thumb, she pulled it along over the table, and took a seat.

Pressing the window to the table, it quickly filled the table with a series of windows now for the people at the bar. It was a brief read over each of them, and one by one, Celestial just put her fingers on the windows and threw them to the side, just removing the windows until only three were left, and she went about reading them.

Now in silence, Celestial just read up on the three remaining files, a man and two women that she might spend the night with. Looking over the files slowly, and reading them, she at last threw one last one away, and began reading more and more and the remaining two. It wasn't uncommon Celestial to look to see who might spend the night with her by looking through some profiles, but tonight, since she wanted a slower night, she was more picky than usual. Still, she knew she had to pick someone, and at last, finally made her choice, a bit intrigued with one of them, finally getting up and moving back to the wall. "Voice Operations, Celestial... Call Hunter." She stated at last.

At last Hunter came into the room, the large robotic entity easily twice if not even taller then Celestial moving up. "Have you selected your guest for the night Ms. Celestial." Hunter asked as he kneeled down to be more eye level with Celestial, and looking over the few holo-windows that Celestial had up.

"Yes, I think I have." She said a last, tapping the wall, and letting its color fade away to reveal the main floor before. She just easily pointed to the main bar and spoke a name. "Samuel Menand."
