THIS TIME ROUND: CHEESECAKE WITH DATES, SIDE B Dammit, that one-eyed vulva-monger Scarlett was going to beat him again! The Proprietor brooded at his desk. This Merchants' Association charity swimsuit-calendar gig was a good chance to both get in some advertising and score a few brownie points with the citizenry... but only if his staff's contributions overwhelmed their rivals' from the Steel Maiden. In other words, whoever produced the most scantily-clad totty would win. The enemy's assets: one sexy vampire bouncer; one hot Movellan strumpet; and Scarlett herself, who might be considered a bit MILF-ish. His own assets: the delectable door-warden Polly, who readily agreed to be a model; the adorable android maid Neimi, who insisted on a large bonus for such work as per her contract and was thus beyond consideration; and the attractively incorporeal Sandra, who had taught him that telekinetic slaps hurt as much as real ones when he'd insisted she participate. Three against one. He _had_ to improve those odds. He just needed someone cheap, willing, and utterly sexy... Aha! ---- Adric opened the door to ask his boss something, but after a moment simply closed it and left, already trying to forget the sight of the Proprietor in a blonde wig, shaving his legs. --BKWillis 'Doctor Who' is property of the BBC.
