Storytime with Lady: Players & Pearls at Club Surrender — Part 2, Act I: The Show

(Written by Jessica Holter)

Welcome back to Coffy Town, where the lights burn low, the secrets run deep, and every performer carries a story behind their smile. In Part 2 of Players & Pearls at Club Surrender, the curtain finally rises on the full show — a night of music, mystery, and unexpected turns.

This episode opens with our Radio Announcer setting the tone for a Black Noir evening inside Lucy’s legendary nightclub. From there, we step into the spotlight with Ruby LaRoux, Lotta Moxi, and the Coffy Shop Band as they deliver the kind of performances that make Club Surrender feel alive again.

But just as the night hits its stride, something goes wrong.

Ruby disappears.

The band vamps. The crowd murmurs. Skawla tries to hold the room together. And backstage, Lucy learns the truth.

Lady confirms what she already knows in her bones — Ruby is gone. And with that, the promise Ruby once made becomes the only path forward: “If anything ever happens to me… call Detective Jimmy.”

This installment closes with Jimmy getting the call that will pull him back into the world he thought he left behind — and straight into the heart of Club Surrender’s unfolding mystery.
