Arisugawa's Locket/ Shiori's Rose
Shiori Takatsuki had run her nightclub slash whorehouse for a few years, and the sexy redhead was very worldly.
THIS, however, was new.
"Boss, what...?" Mai Tokhia asked her, the extremely busty strawberry blonde looking a bit anxious.
About... half of where they were was Shiori's familiar place of business. The other half looked sort of like a nightclub, too, but much brighter lit. And was that a LIBRARY over there?
She saw two women standing over by the bar, and marched over. "Why is there a BAR in my club?" she demanded.
The orange haired woman turned around to face her, revealing a shockingly familiar face. "Shiori?" Juri blinked.
"Juri-sama?" Shiori replied, also blinking. What was her financial backer doing here?!
Juri gave her a thoughtful look as she said, "I think things aren't what they appear..."
A frowning Shiori listened as this woman explained about alternate universes and space-time travelling bars.
"These people are insane," Mai said flatly.
"Normally, I'd agree with you," Shiori shrugged, "but we DO have half of someone else's bar stuck here."
Mai made a face, "Point."
"So what, exactly, do we do?" Shiori then asked Juri.
"Good question," Juri sighed. She looked at her companion, "Setsuna?"
Shiori looked at the graceful, green black haired woman, wondering why Juri was asking her this. Though she did have an intelligent look about her... and she and Juri were wearing matching rings, she noticed. Well, well...
"We can try to contact Washu, but that's always hit and miss," Setsuna admitted. She shrugged, "We may just have to wait it out."
"Oh lovely," Shiori sighed.
Juri gave her a sympathetic look.
Before anything more could be said, a pretty brown haired woman in a maid outfit walked up to them. Not even a fetish maid, just a common variety maid out of a novel. She WAS very pretty though, Shiori had to admit.
"May, what can I do for you?" Juri asked.
May gave Shiori an apologetic look, "The women who appeared are... kind of undressed." She paused, "We've gotten a few complaints."
"Ah," Shiori blinked. Yes, her and all her 'girls' were all just in their underwear, basically. They stood out a bit.
"I'm not embarrassed," Minako Aino noted, the sexy blonde dressed in just a skimpy push up bra and panties.
"You're ALSO an exhibitionist," Shiori pointed out dryly. She looked around the merged bars and addressed May and Juri, "It appears our changing room is elsewhere."
"We might be able to wrestle up something," May sighed.
Robes were found, mostly from the upstairs rooms. Interesting half the rooms were normal, half were fetish dens from Shiori's Rose.
"The S&M room was a bit of an eye opener," Nabiki Tendo noted, the Locket's accountant looking bemused-ish.
"That's Misaki Saiki's domain. Saiki-sama is VERY popular as a dom," Asuka Soryu noted, the exotic redhead also on Shiori's staff.
"Well, this is nice," Mai twirled around in a much too small school uniform. It was so short and tight it was nearly lewder than her undies. "My girlfriend Mikoto would LOVE me in this," she added.
"You're dating Mikoto too?" May asked, knowing the woman in both universes.
"Yup," Mai beamed.

Amelia McFly had thought she had gotten used to being a waitress at Arisugawa's. Welp, today had clearly shown she wasn't, with the mob of nearly nude women popping up.
"So you're a REAL cowboy?"
"I would TOTALLY ride her like a pony."
"Saddle up, baby...,"
"Yeee- haw, put a strap-on on her and..."
Amelia slapped her hand down on the table, making them jump. "Ladies, I do not have to put up with being hit on. Dial it back, or we just won't serve you," she told them forcefully.
There was a LONG beat of silence, the women looking apologetic. "Sorry, sugah," Anna Marie apologized, "we get kinda rambunctious with our job."
"Still," Amelia said. The rest of the women apologized, and Amelia took their orders.
"She IS cute though," one woman added, watching Amelia's hips sway as she walked off.
Amelia just ignored that.
"Has anyone else grabbed you?" Mahoro asked, the android helping tend bar. Ryouko had vanished in the confusion, though they weren't worried. Much. The former space pirate could take care of herself...
"Just the once," Amelia made a face. "We might want to look into cutting the ladies off.. they are getting rowdy."
"Oh, lovely. I'll run it by Juri," Mahoro promised. She loaded up the tray of drinks and passed it to Amelia, "Good luck."
"Thanks," Amelia headed back to the table, "Here's your drinks, ladies..."
"Thank you," Anna smiled warmly.
Her brown haired friend leaned forward, "I know you have NO reason to agree but... would you like to meet after work?"
"KATE! No hitting up the waitresses!" Anna scolded her.
"But she's CUTE!" Kate defended herself.
Amelia fought to keep a straight face. "Sorry," she said briskly, "we're forbidden from seeing customers off hours."
Kate pouted.
Another woman opened her mouth to comment, and got elbowed in the side by Anna. "I KNOW you'd suggest something lewd or illegal. Shut it," Anna ordered.
Amelia decided it was just best to make her escape...

"I'm still a bit surprised I financed this," Juri admitted as she sipped her colored ginger-ale.
Shiori was drinking sprite. They clearly had similar habits... "You disapprove?" Shiori asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"More just wondering where the money came from," Juri admitted.
Shiori waved at the Locket club.
"Seed money, but a lot of investors," Juri conceded. "It's sometimes worries me that I won't be able to live up to their support."
"Oh, agreed," Shiori nodded.
Juri asked, "I only noticed women when your staff and guests appeared..."
Shiori smiled faintly, "Yes, like your bar we're women only." She sipped her drink, "You'd be surprised at the number of wealthy women who like to discretely fool around."
"Oh?" Juri had to ask.
"Different universes," Shiori reminded her. She smirked, "But yes, formula one champ Haruka Tenoh tended to visit, along with her posse."
"She doesn't know Michiru?" Juri had to ask.
"Who?" Shiori asked.
"That answers that I guess," Juri admitted. She looked up, then blinked as she saw Shiori going transparent.
Shiori noticed it too, "I think we're leaving..."
"It's been interesting meeting you," Juri said as the other faded.
"You too..." then Shiori was gone, and the bar looked back to normal.
Juri got up, walking back to the bar, "Sound off! Is everyone here?"
A few minutes later and they confirmed everyone who had started the night, was there now. And there didn't seem to be any leftovers of the brothel...

I might do a few chapters of 'Shiori's Rose' over on Archive Of Our Own, as it'll probably have more sex than fanficnet would allow.
