The Johnson... by the time she got to Sakura's place he still hadn't responded, and this was with post-work rush-hour traffic driving times into Downtown Hong Kong, to the Wanchai-Causeway in fact, the closest thing to Las Vegas: Hong Kong Edition around.  Not uncommon though; Fixers were more the sort you wanted to talk to about jobs after all.  Luckily, tonight was Sakura's night off it seems, and she was more than happy to 'entertain' her company for the night.<br/><br/>After gods know how long - it was nightfall and the neon and AR was in full blaze by the time she arrived and parked - she was finally in the nightly crowds of the Causeway, wall to wall people like any good urban sprawl, minus the 'sprawl' part.  It takes what feels like ages to get to the 'Nihongo Hostess Club,' which was several dozen stories high like many buildings down there, Sakura living there on the seventh floor (really the 6th, but no building in all of Hong Kong FEZ has a 4th floor, the same reason why none in the UCAS and the CAS don't have a thirteenth).  Inside it's... well, like one would expect of a Hostess club, a more upscale one of course, greeted by the gorgeous Japanese elf up front (many were elves, humans, and nicer-looking orks and dwarves, but<em>all</em>were Japanese).  She would of course be allowed up front, Sakura having told her to let her up.  Passing by many to the elevator, she shares the elevator with twelve others, eight of which were clearly working there, three others men and one woman.<br/><br/>Seventh floor, and Alice is out and on the main landing, a hallway that goes down, splits in a cross shape, and is lined with room after room, like an apartment complex with the occasional enclave filled with places to sit, watch, and entertain... no poles though, it was a more 'subtle' place than that, and in fact many really did show up for the companionship, the 'room service' costing extra... and of course the rooms were also the girls' bedrooms and living quarters, not a bad setup.  Sakura's room, and the door opens as she arrives, not even needing to knock as the door is opened and a gorgeous,<em>gorgeous</em>Japanese elf opens the door, dressed in a nightgown and... bunny slippers?  Yep, definitely off-work tonight...<br/><br/>"Alice!  So good to meet you old friend!" she said, bowing and then gesturing for her to come inside "Pleas, come in!  You want something to drink?  I was just enjoying my favorite trideo sitcom from Japan..."
