“So Susan your at the bar tonight?” inquired Mary as she got ready “backstage” of the Mermaid’s cove bar. Backstage was where the women and men prepared to go out into the restaurant bar area, since it was between 8:30 and 9 pm the bar was closed. It would reopen at 9 and stay open to 4:30 am as an adult only bar and show. Normally the bar would close at 3 am but it was string break so it would be a mad house out there tonight but if all goes well by the end of spring break everyone would have a much more heavy wallet.
“Yes.” Confirmed Susan as she applied some waterproof make up, she would be spending most of the night at the swim up bar or going around delivering drinks to that area of the place. She wouldn’t be alone in doing that part but given the rest of the girls and the boys in their own backstage room currently preparing to slip their legs into the fake mermaid/merman tail she would do it most it.
Of the 16 members of staff, six of them, three merman and three mermaids who would normally be out in the water at any one time. Then at certain points in the night they would slip out of their tail and switch with the staff in the restaurant area delivering drinks and food while those in the restaurant area, would get into tails and swim among the guests. Another pair would be sitting on rocks/sand dunes all night posing for photos or going into the large pool behind the bar to perform.
They took turns doing certain jobs, tomorrow night she would be slipping her own legs into her own tail to perform but tonight she was bartender, so she didn’t have to put on her own tail. She still had to fit into the setting, so she put on something a bikini bottom before heading toward the mirror.
The mermaid cove still called itself a bar/restaurant even during the adult’s only time but it was closer to a strip club. The two people assigned to the underwater preforming each night would do a strip tease and multiple times during the night the mermaids would remove their themed tops and do a show in the water before guests.
Since she was bartender she wouldn’t be doing that but she was going to be putting on a show. She pulled quickly and skillfully applied stick on fake mulit color fish scales to her breasts covering her nipples and the surrounding area. She finished it and nodded her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She knew she was good looking ever since high school and while she didn’t really like her current job at what was basically a strip club the pay was amazing and in a year, she would have her degree from the nearby college and have no student loans to pay back. That alone was enough for her to tie back style her honey brown hair and apply some more fake fish scales to her body to make her look like a transforming mermaid before heading to her station for the night to begin.
Her station was a bar located beside the ocean which had a step leading up to what they call the “dry” bar. It was only “dry” in turns of the bar not being in the ocean itself. As Susan stood in waste high water, preparing to serve drinks from the taps behind her, her fellow bartender hadn’t appeared from backstage yet but they would handle the dry bar and prepare some other drinks up there before handing it off to her at the wet bar. Overall it looked like it was going to be a normal, at least as normal as one can be during spring break night.
Little did she know the night was going to be extra crazy.
