a guy that "booked" you all night long started to throw ice on the floor while you were performing on-stage?
The gal who dances for me was booked all night long by some high-roller. When it was her turn to go on-stage, he walked along side of her at floor level and then opened up an ice box and began to play with an ice cube in his hands. He turned the cube over in his hands for a few seconds and slid it on stage towards her. Obviously, it had begun to melt and I could see it leaving a trail. I don't think she noticed the first time, but def by the 4-5 time, she had. She made a confused face and then started to dance towards the opposing side of the stage, but there he stood, playing with another ice cube in his hands and then this time, tossed it towards her (underhand).
I was kinda worried she was gonna fall, so I got up quicker than I usually do, looked at him, and then began to tip her. He looked like a normal douche bag, full of ego and machismo, and I knew that it would make him sit down right away- to which it did exactly that.
I've seen the the DJ warn people over his mic for a lot less and the bouncers flock to the stage, just in case. In this instance, none of that happened and I'm sure it was because he drops a lot of money at the club.
I'm interested (as a writer), would you ladies have done/reacted differently in any way? I understand and see the bind she was in...she certainly didn't like it or appreciate it, as she recognized how easily she could have slipped in her heels (I watch at least a few women nearly fall down while trying to walk around people and things in those tall heels), so I can't even imagine what a slippery floor with melting ice cubes could do while you're on stage.
