Hiro strutted back to the brothel the very next Friday, exactly ten minutes before eleven o' clock.
If there was a word to describe the way he felt, it was "pimpin'"; this probably had something to do with his gaudy red suit and huge, fur-trimmed jacket. He was shielded from the cold everywhere but his head, for he had chosen to let his mane flow manly and free instead of suppressing it in the sissy device known as "a hat". He still wore his gaudy purple sash, however--it clashed even more horribly with this outfit than it had with his last.
He stormed through the front door, finding the coat made it difficult to get inside. Nonetheless, he squeezed through after a few minutes of struggling.
He pointed to the lady at the counter, his many rings glittering in the light of the lobby.
"Hello, Gladys--it's nice to see you again! Fetch me the beautiful lady by the name of Bera--I'm here for an appointment with her. And by an appointment, I mean sex."
"My name isn't Gladys," replied the woman at the counter irritably. "If you're--"
He raised a hand to silence her.
"Hurry up and get her, I haven't got all day--her break is soon." He ghetto-snapped to emphasize his point.
Sighing deeply, the woman whose name wasn't Gladys nodded at a small boy who in turn ran off to fetch Bera. Hiro sat down, barely able to fit in the chair but looking quite pleased with himself.
"So," he said, crossing his legs and staring at the woman, "How are you doing? Kids alright?"
