LONG DESCRIPTION:

This is a major plot point in Val’s story. She had finally quit her retail job on this particular night and headed straight to her new job but not before grabbing several items to prepare an outfit for her first show. 

When she was training on how to pole dance she had beginner stripper outfits that she didn’t really like as they weren’t her style. While prepping, she decided to make her own outfit out of an old demon costume she hadn’t worn since college (more on that in a bit) coupled with some boots she purchased the same day. 

After putting on the outfit and applying her makeup, Val is ready for tonight’s performance, her first proper performance. 

As Val heads out to perform, she gives Dana and Yuri the signal to get the stage ready for her arrival. 

Val steps onto the stage the crowd excited for their newest performer.

Val performs the crowd cheers.

After finishing her performance, Val has a strong sense of euphoria from it all, even earning a decent amount of money from it. In her head she like “Worth It.”

The comic ends here.

Notes:

*The Demon Costume was given to her by Daria (Tony at the time and a major antagonist in Val’s story) on Halloween back in her college days. Gives some nice lore to this particular outfit

*This is the first canonical appearance of Val’s demon/seductive eyes
