Ballroom Babes

The Ballroom Babes is a group of 40 women of various ages, races, and faiths engaging in the niche art of being clowns with inflatable suits. They were first formed in 2017, but became a true company in 2018. Their first four members were recruited by a mysterious man known as Locke, who represented an unknown company known as "The Bureau" and seemed to have limitless resources. They are one of two main groups in the "City Babe" genre - alongside the "Swinging Sisters".

In their early days, the Babes lived on a locomotive owned by the "head" of their group - Jessie. The train pulled two carriages, one holding four rooms which held one girl each, while the other was their storeroom and living space. However after recruiting a second "Squad", another dorm carriage was added. After so long the Babes were given a replacement "Big Babe" locomotive by their handler in the Bureau, but later chose an immobile HQ in the form of a once-abandoned candy factory, dubbing it "The Ballroom", which in itself contained a "Practice Ballroom".

The Babes were recruited due to their hereditary exposure to Void Elements - usually as their ancestors had some point aided the Bureau. Therefore the Babes are in "witness protection". Jessie and Lilly were approached by Locke one day after their "Initiations" and invited to join the Babes, but from there on the members were given a list of potential members and had to go recruit them personally.

Each Babe has one or more "Gimmicks" that make her suit and style unique. They often reflect her personality, fears, or fetishes. This can range from a dress falling off to turning into a full-blown blueberry.

A Babe is usually "chosen by fate" through a series of circumstances not-well-understood. At a point in her life after a "low", such as being humiliated or losing something valuable, the Babe will receive a boost of courage at the same time as a mysterious package arrives at their residence. The suit contains a unique Esme Suit which the Babe will likely put on soon, leading to her first inflation. This is called "Initiation". While some follow the Ballroom Scenario, others are completely different. A Babe is usually recruited shortly after their Initiation. A Babe may join the group to improve her life, improve her social skills, find love, or just make money.

Trivia
The Ballroom Babes all have an "-ee"-sounding name or nickname, including making up new, nonesense-sounding ones like "Ree" and "Pammy" to fit the theme.

Squad X has two meanings - it means both "Squad 10" and "Squad Extraordinary", as the Squad consists of four beings not native to this Dimension, aside from Genny, who is a GenRec/clone.

A rather peculiar "social feature" of the Babes is the concept of "Unhooking". This involves the Babe letting one or both of her suspenders fall from her shoulder, hanging loosely around her lower half or midriff. Babes that depend on her suspenders to keep their lower wear up will only unhook one. This is used to symbolise to other Babes that the user was recently sexually satisfied, and thus is not in the mood for more sexual interaction. This is linked to their "Yanking" practice where in a Babe who wants to engage sexually with another one will pull on her suspenders to get her attention.
