<<back>> A40 * Wrote and added a new scene for Eve that can take place in the afternoons in her bedroom in the servant's area. Requires highish stats. 10.2k words of content generously sponsored by Braidborn. * Wrote and added a new scene including Anna, Eve, and Yami to the servant's area in the evenings. 2.4k words of content. * Meal time content has started to see it's overhaul. Got a single meal done for breakfast. For the time being this has been added to the original breakfast content until that can be converted as well. This includes around 8.5k words of content. * Wrote and added three "Feather Play" intros to the St Andrew's Cross. .3k words of content. * Wrote and added eleven "Feather Play" scenes to the St Andrew's Cross. 1.5k words of content. * Wrote and added a new pregnancy related scene for Anna to the sleep function. Requires 22 weeks pregnant or more, plus ok or higher stats. * Wrote and added two new scenes for Anna when she's pregnant. One in the Bathing Room, the other appearing in most places with a couch or where you can assign her to sleep. .4k words of content. * Wrote and added a scene to Mid Main where you can buy an angagement ring for Anna. Happens at very high relationship levels and between 8am and 8pm. .8k words of content. * Added Casual Talk option to Sidra. Currently includes 13 small scenes and which scenes appear are subject to relationship stats. 1k words of content submitted by hospoguy76 * Added three new meal time events for Sidra to the lunch and dinner meals. These will later be worked into the new meal time content but for the time being they fire as their own events. All three require that you have Anna, Eve, and Sidra eating with you, the third requiring that you have middling or higher relationship values with both Eve and Sidra. 2.5k words of content submitted by hospoguy76 * Added a new scene to the Youkai Emporium for if you own Mitsuko. 8k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom. * Added a new karaoke scene for Mitsuko to the karaoke function in the game. 1.1k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom. * Added a new scene for Jenna (Jen) to the game that introduces the character. Takes place in the evening if you drive into town. This is a fairly rare event and requires that it be raining or storming. 2.6k words of content submitted by The Exile. * Added a new conversation for Mitsuko to her Casual talk. .2k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom. * Added a new NPC, Jen, to the game. * Added the framework for dog and horse breeding to the game. Mostly this is code and has little content at this point in time. Thanks to Anenn and Principle Chorus for all the work they've put into this. * Added a ton of supporting code to the meal time content. EVERYONE should see either increases or decreases in stats according to whether or not they eat with you in every meal now even if the scene doesn't depict the character. Characters not yet in the mansion will not be affected by these stat changes. Meal time has officially become a way to grind for stats. In most cases, eating with you will will move every stat for the affected character one point in the positive direction, sometimes more. If you have lots of characters in the mansion, then it can be very effective in giving a small blanket increase to everyone. This probably accounts for about 10k words of raw code. It's proving to be a nightmare to set up, but it's going to be SO worth it when it's done! (NOTE: Anna doesn't mind serving table, especially if Eve has a place at it. But it's going to upset her if she's at the table and you make Eve wait table.) * Added a cheat option to the Cheat Menu so you can increase or decrease the MCs Alchemy score. * Added a cheat option to the Cheat Menu to allow players to change the name and gender of babies. This is in response to an earlier misfire situation with the birthing where babies were being created but you weren't given the option to name them. * Added placeholders for three types of movie to the Theater. This includes art. Nine new images added to the game. * Added five new images to the west grounds location. This includes the winter weather image set. * Added five new images to the east grounds location. This includes the winter weather image set. * Added six new images to the boathouse location.

This includes 23 new pieces of content including four new intros for the function. This adds 4.3k words of content to that function. * Wrote and added a new job into the game. You can now work in the Pendleton Theater. Between the interview and work scenes, there are about 1.1k words of content. * Wrote and added a scene where you can potentially take Gaia's virginity.

<<talk "player">>Business.<</talk>>\ You tell him simply.

<<talk "bruce">>Pleasure? I suppose I can spare a few minutes to converse with a friend.<</talk>>\ Bruce's tone is playful, on the verge of being flirtatious. For several minutes, the two of you talk, skirting the topic of slavery and your uncle, but never straying far from it either. You're just about ready to ask about your great uncle when Bruce abruptly stops mid-sentence. <<talk "bruce">>I'm really sorry to cut this short, but it would seem I have a matter of business to attend. I hope we can do this again some time.<</talk>>\ You barely manage a 'goodbye' before the line goes dead. [[End.|$location]]

An hour later, you're sitting at the desk in the study when a gentle knock on the door draws your attention. Anna looks at you expectantly. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, you have guests. Shall I see them in?<</talk>> You indicate that she should, then lean back as you wait. You don't have to wait for long before Bruce enters the room. On his arm is a petite Asian woman, one of her hands grasping Bruce's elbow to act as a guide while she holds a small collapsable cane in her free hand. <<talk "bruce">>As discussed, I brought the property you were interested in. Feel free to inspect her before we finalize our transaction.<</talk>>\ Somehow, every word he says is smooth, enticing in a way that leaves you hanging on his every word. As he speaks, Misaki steps close, one hand outstretched until she finds your chest, then her fingers move upward until she reaches your face. You can see a faint smile forming on her lips as she seems to look through you. <<talk "misaki">>My new master is handsome.<</talk>>\ Her voice is clearly pleased. The very next instant, you feel cool air on your crotch and take a half step back in surprise. Misaki's hand follows you, her fingertips encircling first your cockhead, then sliding part way down your shaft with hands so soft that it nearly makes you sigh. Across from you, Bruce laughs, his profressional nature vanishing in an instant as he does so. <<talk "bruce">>I did warn you she is a nympho. She's completely insatable, and doesn't seem to understand the word 'no' when it comes to sex. You can do any freaky thing you can imagine to her and she'll keep begging for more. I've only ever met one other girl even remotely like her, and I'd wager that Misaki's sex drive is even higher than Maki's.<</talk>>\ <<if $morichiMeet gte 1>><<talk "thought">>Seems he knows who Maki is. I wonder if he knows her in a professional, or personal capacity.<</talk>>\ <</if>><<talk "bruce">>Misaki, the man hasn't paid for you just yet. I'm sure he'll satisfy your need for //attention// very soon, but for the moment you need to restrain yourself.<</talk>>\ There's no bite to his words, but Misaki pouts all the same, allowing you to withdraw enough to pull your zipper back up. Once Misaki has returned to Bruce's side, you talk with Bruce a little longer, listening to him tell you a bit more about Misaki before giving you an account number to transfer your money to. With a friendly handshake, you conclude your business, and as Bruce prepares to leave, he turns toward Misaki. <<talk "bruce">>Misaki, you belong to him now. Serve him well.<</talk>>\ A second later, he's out the door of the study and Misaki turns toward you, her sightless gaze staring blankly at a spot just over your shoulder. Even as you watch, she bites her lip seductively and purrs. <<talk "misaki">>Would master like to use me now?<</talk>>\ Just then, Anna enters the room again, and realizing that the best place to start for Misaki would be to familiarize her with her new home, you turn to Anna. <<talk "player">>If you can help familiarize her with the mansion, and help her get settled in, that would be a big help.<</talk>>\ Misaki pouts slightly, but Anna nods and quickly leads Misaki away, presumably to do as you asked. [[End.|$location]] <<run $misaki.addFlag("owned")>>

Sitting at the desk in the study, you begin to thumb absently through your Great Uncle's phone book, not recognizing any of the names until you see one labeled with a simple //F//. //Wasn't he the man who sold Anna and Eve to my Great Uncle?// For a long time, you stare at the name and number, struggling with the decision as to whether you should call the number or ignore it. //He's a slave trader. Do I really want to associate with a person like that? Would I be able to learn anything about Anna and Eve's past by talking with him?// Your eyes move to the phone resting at one corner of the desk. [[Make the call.|Bruce Introductions 1a]] [[Don't make the call.|Bruce Introductions 1b]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Taking a deep breath, you reach for the phone and dial in the number. Each button you press is done so with care. When the last number is pressed, you raise the handset to your ear and listen to it ring. On the second ring you hear someone pick up. <<talk "stranger">>Oh my! What an unexpected pleasure! This is a number I never expected to see again. To whom might I be speaking with?<</talk>>\ The man's voice is smooth, like silk on silk, and instantly disarming. You find yourself replying even before you realize you've opened your mouth to do so. <<talk "player">><<print $player.firstName>>. Are you F?<</talk>>\ The man lets out a brief but good natured laugh. <<talk "stranger">>Heavens no! F was my mentor. You must be the nephew Dave spoke of.<</talk>>\ Without even pausing, the man continues to speak, his tone that someone happy to hear from a long lost friend. <<talk "bruce">>F //retired// a while back, and I've taken over all business dealings in his place. If he could have gotten you something, so can I. What can I help you with today?<</talk>>\ You consider for a moment whether or not to simply hang up the phone, but finally convince yourself to stay on and see what you can learn. <<talk "player">>I have two girls in my care. Girls my Great Uncle purchased from F a few years back. Or at least that's what I've been able to piece together so far. I was actually hoping I could learn something about their background, their past.<</talk>>\ There's a long pause. When Bruce speaks, his tone is not less friendly, but far more professional. <<talk "bruce">>I regretfully have to admit, that is one of the few things I am not in a position to help you with.<</talk>>\ Another pause as the man clearly gathers his thoughts. //Why do I get the impression that I just stepped into a minefield?// <<talk "bruce">>It's nothing personal mind. I haven't met either of those two, but I know of them. The contract involving those two involved a great deal of secrecy that I am not entirely privy to.<</talk>>\ There's another pause. <<talk "bruce">>I tell you what. In the name of new friendships, I'll ask around a little. I can't promise anything will come of it, but if I'm able, I'll point you toward answers.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>That's actually more than I expected.<</talk>>\ You admit. A shorter pause this time, accompanied by a sound from Bruce that makes you think he's smiling. <<talk "bruce">>I'd be doing myself a disservice by not asking. Are you interested in the services I can provide?<</talk>>\ Both of you know it's unnecessary for him to say exactly what he is offering. [[You're not interested.|Bruce Introductions 1c]] [[You are interested.|Bruce Introductions 1d]] <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

He spends a moment telling you what a pleasure it was to receive your call, then utters a simple 'goodbye' to you before hanging the phone up. //He's charismatic, that's for sure.

<<talk "player">>Let's say I'm interested. This isn't something I have a lot of experience with.<</talk>>\ <<talk "bruce">>Few people do.<</talk>>\ Bruce retorts lightly, his tone friendly. <<talk "bruce">>It's all quite simple from your side of things. You have the money, you inspect the property you wish to purchase, you sign a few papers for my own peace of mind, pay me a meager sum, and the property becomes yours to do with as you please.<</talk>>\ There's a short pause, its timing seeming calculated to give you exactly enough time to process what he just said. <<talk "bruce">>As a matter of fact, I think I have something special you may enjoy. I have a girl, she's a bit on the shy side, but she's young, in good health, and competent when it comes to maid work. She's been introduced to the pleasures of the flesh, but she's relatively inexperienced. English isn't her first language, so she has an accent that quite frankly is adorable.<</talk>>\ You know that he's likely using a line he's used hundreds of times before, but the way he says it makes the girl sound special, enticing your interest. <<talk "bruce">>She comes from the war torn east where females are naturally subservient to men, so slavery comes naturally to her and she understands her place.<</talk>>\ You're still weighing his words when he continues. <<talk "bruce">>Normally, I'd ask somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000 for a girl like her, but in the name of new friendships, I'd ask the token sum of $5,000.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>That seems very cheap. Why would you give someone you've never met such a big discount?<</talk>>\ You ask skeptically. You can almost hear him smile on the other end of the line. <<talk "bruce">>I find that the best relationships always start with the offering of an olive branch. Sure, I lose money on a single deal, but I gain favor in the eyes of those I do business with, and in turn, people are more likely to seek out my services again in the future. Your Great Uncle did a lot of business with my predecessor, just the knowledge that I'm doing business with his replacement grants me exceptional prestige. I earn my losses back in a few weeks at most if you never do business with me again, and if we find ourselves in a mutually beneficial arrangement, all the better!<</talk>>\ The well reasoned joy in his voice sweeps you along, nearly making you feel like a valued partner in crime. //This man is dangerous,// You realize, //He's the kind of man who can hand you a gift with one hand while robbing you blind with the other.// You grimace, //But I can't help but like him.// <<talk "bruce">>If you're interested, I should be in your part of the world some time in the next few days. I'll gladly bring her by the mansion, it would be good to see the place again, -I always loved the murals in the entry hall,- and it would give us a chance to meet in person.<</talk>>\ [[Decline.|Bruce Introductions 1e]] [[Accept.|Bruce Introductions 1f]] <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

Pushing open the door, you step into the building. As you look around, there are several patrons seated with friends or by themselves, nursing their drinks listening to the soft music playing. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, you spot Claire sitting at the bar. Navigating your way between the tables, nearing Claire you can hear her speaking to someone, noticing a hand raised to her ear. <<talk "player">>Yeah, don't worry about.

Ok later.<</talk>>\ Claire hangs up, sliding her phone into her sweater pocket. <<talk "claire">>Oi bartender, the usual.<</talk>>\ You continue approaching her, taking a seat beside Claire. <<if $claire.affection gte 700>> <<talk "claire">>Look who decided to show up!<</talk>> She throws her arm around you, pulling you against her for a second before letting go. <<talk "claire">>Would you like a drink?<</talk>> [[Accept the drink.|Submitted Claire Bar Scene 1a]] [[Decline her offer.|Submitted Claire Bar Scene 1b]] <<elseif $claire.affection gte 400 && $claire.affection lte 700>> <<talk "claire">>Hey, there he is.

You shake your head. <<talk "player">>Not tonight, just here to chat.<</talk>> You respond, Claire scoffs. The bartender returns placing a glass filled to the brim with alcohol, Claire grabs it, swallowing the liquid contents in a single gulp. <<talk "claire">>//Ahhh!//<</talk>> She slams the glass down. <<talk "claire">>Just to talk?<</talk>> Claire looks away. <<talk "claire">>Well, sine you're here. What did you want to talk about?<</talk>> She looks back at you... Her eyes staring into yours, eyebrow raised. <<talk "player">>Oh you know, things like //how you're doing// or //what's going on//.<</talk>> You raise your own eyebrow at her, waiting for a response. Claire sighs. <<talk "claire">>Bloody great and just sitting here drinking away.<</talk>> She pauses, chugging down a second glass the bartender had placed down in front of her. You stare at Claire waiting for her to finish, she finishes the drink, wiping the corner of her mouth. <<talk "claire">>What about you?<</talk>> <<talk "player">>I'm doing fine.<</talk>> You respond, the two of you sit in relative silence, Claire occasionally calling the bartender over for another drink. After a while you decide to leave. <<talk "claire">>Take care Claire.<</talk>> You say your goodbye, she merely nods as you exit the building.

<<talk "thought">>Why the hell not.<</talk>> <<talk "player">>I would, thank you.<</talk>> You accept her offer of a drink. Claire's eyes light up, she turns to yell at the bartender. <<talk "claire">>Oi tender, make it a double!<</talk>> Claire giggles, spinning around to face you. <<talk "claire">>So what brings you here love?<</talk>> Her accent is thick as she talks. <<talk "player">>Figured you needed a bit of company.<</talk>> Claire laughs, the bartender places two huge glasses of alcohol down in front of you and your companion. <<talk "claire">>Cheers babe, keep the tip.<</talk>> Claire slides the bartender a hundred-dollar bill. The woman behind the bar nods before someone yells for her. <<talk "claire">>You cheeky runt.<</talk>> Claire picks up her glass, raising it to her lips as she tips it back, the liquid flowing straight down her gullet. You stare, shocked as she doesn't stop, until the last drop is gone. <<talk "claire">>//Ahhhh//<</talk>> She slams her glass down. <<talk "claire">>That was good, you going to finish yours or did you want me to?<</talk>> Claire laughs, you roll your eyes before taking a sip of your own glass. The alcohol hits you immediately, burning your throat as it goes down, you nearly chock. Claire bursts out into a fit of laughter, wiping the tears away from her eyes she slaps you on the shoulder. <<talk "claire">>Come on, drink up lad, there's more where that came from.<</talk>> She winks, waving to the bartender. You and Claire spend several hours drinking and talking. A question comes to your mind, one you can't help but asking. <<talk "player">>You know, my uncle had some //unique// hobbies, right?<</talk>> Claire places her glass down, with a chuckle she turns her eyes meeting yours. <<talk "claire">>He did, didn't he?<</talk>> She takes another swig of her drink. <<talk "claire">>Didn't bother me much, the bugger gave me a job to do. So I did it.<</talk>> Her speech is beginning to slur, the twelve glasses of alcohol finally hitting her. You can feel yourself being affected by the liquor as well. <<talk "player">>What brought you to work under my uncle?<</talk>> You ask, Claire doesn't answer instead scoffing. <<talk "claire">>He approached me, offered me a new life in return for keeping his //assets// safe.<</talk>> She knocks back another drink, bringing the number to thirteen, Claire tries to speak but it's a slurred mess. You roll your eyes, nodding to the bartender as you slip Claire's arm around your neck, supporting her as the two of you walk out of the place. Remembering where she lived from the last time you brought her back, it takes a while with Claire unable to fully support herself. After some walking, you come upon her apartment, checking her sweater pocket you pull out her keys. <<talk "thought">>Sorry Claire.<</talk>> You mentally apologize, entering the building you take her up the stairs. Claire nearly trips you both several times but you make it safely into her place. You look around the room. <<talk "thought">>It's still as messy as it was last time.<</talk>> random articles of clothing laying on the floor, wrappers and squashed beer cans liter the place. You take her over to the couch, gently sliding her arm off as you lay her down, a sudden movement catches your eye before realizing Claire has you sitting down as she kneels in front of you. <<talk "player">>Claire, what are you doing?<</talk>> The liquor making your vision hazy. She doesn't say a word, unbuckling the belt before unzipping your pants. Realizing her intentions, your cock grows hard, she spots the growing bulge. <<talk "claire">>Oh, someone's happy to see me.<</talk>> Her speech is nearly unrecognizable, your own haziness making it even more difficult to understand. Your meaty rod springs free, fully erect, Claire eyes it lustfully. You meet her eyes, for a second she stares at you before going down on you. Claire begins licking the tip, her tongue swirling around, teasing your sensitive spots. You moan encouragingly, hearing this Claire takes your dick into her mouth, sucking the head/ Her tongue continuing to stroke and lick the tip and part of your shaft. You enjoy her ministrations, seeing this Claire gets bolder and starts taking more and more of your erection, you can feel your penis bump against her throat. You try to pull back a little to avoid choking her but to your surprise she starts bobbing her head up and down faster and rougher, all the while sucking and licking, the stimulation is almost too much as the warmth fills you, the pleasure growing inside your balls as you prepare yourself for release. You attempt to warn Claire of your impending climax, but all you can manage is a hollow groan. Feeling your cum pouring into her mouth, she swallows it all without skipping a beat. Several seconds later and your completely drained and she releases your cock with a wet //pop// noise. Feeling weak, you lay yourself out on the couch, pulling Claire up from off the floor. Through her drunken state she manages to lay down with you, her body resting against yours as you both fall asleep. The sun shines through the curtains of the window, you can hear the birds chirping away. With a yawn you blink several times, checking on Claire you find her fast asleep still. <<talk "thought">>I shouldn't wake her.<</talk>> You carefully remove yourself from the couch, nearly waking Claire up several times. You manage to quietly step your way to the door, looking back once more before exiting the building. You step out into the street.

<<talk "player">>No thank you.<</talk>> You politely refuse her offer. Claire shrugs, a moment later a glass of alcohol is placed in front of her. She grabs it, chugging its contents back in seconds, having swallowed the last few drops Claire slams the glass down. <<talk "claire">>//Ahhh// That's damn good stuff.<</talk>> She chuckles to herself.

You open the message. <<talk "claire">>//Hey luv, if yer missin' me so much ya can fine me at the bar during the evenings, sometimes the strip club ;) Ooor can catch me at the game store.

[[End.|$location]] ''By: Irish Major Tom'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

As you're about to step into the bar, you hear a noise coming from the shady alley way that sits beside it. There's the sound of scuffing feet and frantic movement. Amongst the commotion you can hear someone yelling in a strange yet familiar feminine accent. <<talk "claire">>Come on then ye bastards, I can take all of ye buggers on. Bring it!<</talk>> You can hear several grunts and yelps of pain. [[Investigate the commotion.|Claire Intro a]] [[Ignore it.|Claire Intro b]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

You rush into the alley and come upon several men and a woman, both sides look to be quite drunk and aggressive. You come to halt a few feet away from them, neither party aware of your presence, as the groups sole focus is on a single person. It takes you a moment for your eyes to adjust to the low lighting, when they do you can make out their target. [img[images/backgrounds/pendleton/Alley.png]] A petite woman, small in stature and wearing what appears to be cut off sweat pants and a hoodie covered in stains. The moment you take your eyes off the others, the closest one to her rushes with a raised fist, as he takes a swing at her she pivots, dodging to the left. Grabbing his arm, she twists and drives her fist into his elbow with a sickening snap, he cries out in agony and drops to the ground. <<talk "claire">>Aye, ye other slags want a go huh? I'll batter ya good.<</talk>> She begins taunting the others while making gestures, two more from the gang rush her at the same time, attempting to overpower her. She lunges at the man on the right, barely evading his punch, grabbing his shirt and twisting to use his momentum, tossing him to the ground. As he hits the ground, the other guy slams his fist into the side of her face, causing her to recoil from the impact, the shock forcing her to one knee. He raises his fist to strike again. [[Intervene.|Claire Intro c]] [[Leave.|Claire Intro d]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

You decide you've seen enough and move to try and break up the fight, but the man with his fists raised moves too fast. You fear the worst, but the woman, now aware of your presence, seizes his fist in her hand. Her action startles him, giving her enough time to punch his kneecap with enough force to break it, you can hear it snap from where you are standing. The man lets out a blood curdling scream, falling to the ground, cradling the broken bone. You can't help but flinch, imagining the pain; having dealt with the one who punched her, she moves back to the one she tossed to the ground and before he can get back up, bashing him in the head. Knocking him out, turning to the other four with a grin, the leader of the group finally speaks up, displeased by the turn of events. <<talk "claire">>You may have won this time, but we will get you eventually, you hear me?<</talk>> His threats doing nothing to faze her, he turns to his comrades, motioning them to leave before beating a hasty retreat. With the fight over, you approach her, careful not to show any hostility. <<talk "claire">>Are you okay?<</talk>> She looks at you, eyeing you up before nodding, gesturing for you to follow her as she walks out of the alley. You follow her, and as you step onto the sidewalk, an arm is flung around you, before you can react, the woman giggles. <<talk "claire">>Am a bit knackered, don't suppose ye would be darlin' an' escort me home?<</talk>> [[Take her home.|Claire Intro e]] [[Remove her arm.|Claire Intro f]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

With a sigh, you nod, and with a huge grin she leads the both of you down the street. Every few steps she's stumbling, forcing you to take the lead before she sends both of you to the ground in a drunken mess. <<talk "player">>So, where do you live?<</talk>> Not sure where to go, you ask her multiple times before she finally responds, in a slurred voice. <<talk "claire">>Just this way luv, almost there.<</talk>> It takes you several hours to reach her apartment, giving you the wrong address several times before passing out outside of her building. Standing before the door, you realize you don't have the key to get in, reaching into her pocket you manage to find the keys and with some difficulty, unlock the door. Unsure of which floor she lives on, you check the board of names of those who currently live there, deciding to base your guess off the most foreign sounding name on the list. <<talk "thought">>Claire Ceallaigh huh, I really hope that's her room.<</talk>> With some difficulty, you manage to get Claire up the stairs and standing before her door. Using the other set of keys to unlock the door, she flails around, uttering something incoherent as you enter the dark room. Spotting a ragged couch by the far wall, you make your way over to it and as you're laying her down, she latches onto your shirt, twisting herself on top of you as she pulls you to the ground. You end up on your back, with her sitting on your pelvis. Bringing herself closer to your face as she whispers. <<talk "player">>Don't be worried, not going to hurt you or nothing. Just giving me mate a little reward for being such a cute and defenseless mot. Now sit still and enjoy it.<</talk>> With a giggle and some difficulty, she unfastens your belt, alarmed, you try to get up but she places a hand on your chest and pushes it back down. Placing her other hand directly on your underwear, rubbing back and forth, a satisfied grin on her face. <<talk "claire">>Ye little friend's quite excited to see me huh.<</talk>> Her hand reaches into your underwear, coming into direct contact with your rapidly growing erection. At first surprised, a smirk replaces her surprise, followed by a giggle as she strokes your dick, in a slow teasing manner with her surprisingly soft hands, intending to drive you crazy. Several agonizing moments pass by, you can feel yourself gradually building up to release. The lack of motion brings you back to your senses, looking up at her, as your eyes meet she bursts out laughing. Noticing your confused expression, she wipes the tears from her eyes. <<talk "claire">>Am just messing with you, ain't that easy cheeky bugger.<</talk>> She winks at you before rolling off, managing to stumble around before finally standing up. Extending her left arm to you, you grab it and she pulls you up. <<talk "claire">>You know, you remind me of someone, my old employer.<</talk>> Looking you up and down. <<talk "claire">>Use to live in that old mansion a bit out of town, I'm surprised they haven't sold that thing off yet.<</talk>> Her words catch you by surprise, seeing your reaction, she giggles. <<talk "player">>You knew my uncle?<</talk>> Curious as to her relations with your uncle, your expression hardens as you take a step toward her. <<talk "claire">>Oh, that bloke was your uncle huh.<</talk>> She hesitates for a moment, thinking about what to say next. <<talk "claire">>Of course I knew him, he found me on the streets, when I had nothing left. Nothing to live for, and no home to return to.<</talk>> Her expression remaining neutral, but you can sense a bit of loyalty as she speaks about your uncle. <<talk "claire">>He employed me as his, private security, I guess you could say. That and I'd track down any of his slaves that got away.<</talk>> A sigh escapes from her lips. <<talk "claire">>As bad as I felt for them, a job is a job and where I come from you follow the orders of your boss.<</talk>> You can almost see the light bulb light up over her head. <<talk "claire">>You know, ever since he passed away I've been traveling, and just recently found my way back. My services aren't expensive, and I'm the best tracker you'll find around these parts, and I'm good company.<</talk>> Pausing mid sentence, winking at you. <<talk "claire">>If you play your cards right.<</talk>> [[Agree to employ her.|Claire Intro g]] [[Reject her proposal.|Claire Intro h]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

<<talk "player">>Okay, pass along your contact information and we'll see about adding you to the staff.<</talk>> With a grin she reaches into her pants pocket, pulling out a tiny, worn out card. Handing it to you, upon closer inspection, the card has several scribbles on it, barely legible. Her name, address and what looks to be phone number. <<talk "claire">>I look forward to our partnership, you won't be disappointed.<</talk>> You nod, pocketing the card she handed to you. <<talk "claire">>Now if you don't mind, am going to sleep this killer hangover off for the next two days.<</talk>> As she's talking, she removes her belt and pants, drunkenly wiggling out of them. You can't help but laugh as she struggles to slide out of her pants, but she manages to get them off. Completely forgetting you're still there, raising her arms, Claire pulls the sweater off. With her baggy clothes out of the way, you get a good look at her body. She's a petite woman, at a guess, she stands at 4'9". A slim, athletic body with a hint of muscle, toned through intense training. You spot two similar looking scars on her abdomen. <<talk "claire">>You know, it's rude to stare at a naked person in their own home.<</talk>> A serious tone to her voice, betrayed by the huge smirk. Arching her back slightly, pushing her butt out, she sways back and forth, staring at you. <<talk "player">>See something you like, huh?<</talk>> The seriousness replaced by a sultrier tone before being followed up by a burst of laughter. <<talk "claire">>I'll see you around lad.<</talk>> You watch her enter what looks like her bedroom, sashaying along in her underwear as she does, closing the door behind her. Disappointed and left unsatisfied, you leave Claire's apartment, making your way back down the stairs and out of the building. Finding yourself back on the streets. [[End.|westStreetPendleton]] <<run $claire.addFlag("contact")>> ''By: Irish Major Tom''

<<talk "thought">>Whatever the commotion is, it has nothing to do with me.<</talk>> You decide to ignore it, and instead continue on your way. [[End.|westStreetPendleton]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

The woman seizes his fist in her hand. Her action startles him, giving her enough time to punch his kneecap with enough force to snap it, the bone broken and protruding out from his leg. The pain forces a blood curdling scream from his lungs as he falls to the ground, cradling his leg, tears streaming down the mans face. <<talk "thought">>She's fine on her own it seems, I should make myself scarce.<</talk>> Having decided you aren't needed, you leave, exiting the alley from the way you came with your head down as to not be noticed. You find yourself back out onto the sidewalk, thinking on your next course of action. [[End.|westStreetPendleton]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

Her breath reeks of alcohol and her clothes are dirty, disgusted, you forcibly remove her arm. Her expression turns serious, sobering up a bit with your action. <<talk "player">>I think a taxi would be better, or perhaps you can find your own way home as you look sober enough for it.<</talk>> Your tone of voice neutral, but dominant. <<talk "claire">>Ah fine, be a stick in the mud. But if ye ever change your mind, I'll be sticking around for a bit, so you'll know where to find me.<</talk>> With a dejected sigh, she walks away, you can't help but stare as she sways her butt back and forth in a sensual manner, disappearing around a corner. [[End.|westStreetPendleton]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

You shake your head. <<talk "player">>I appreciate your offer, but I'm going to have to turn it down. I don't really have a need for your services.<</talk>> You apologize, letting her down gently. <<talk "claire">>Ah fine, but I'll be here for wee bit longer so come find me if ye change your mind.<</talk>> Dejected, she plunks herself down on the couch, falling asleep the moment her head hits the armrest. With everything settled, you exit the apartment. [[End.|westStreetPendleton]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

-Renamed scene from "Submitted Bar Scene" to "Claire Intro" -Line 86: Misnamed segment. -It's mentioned early on that her voice sounds familiar, how so? -Would like to see an option for her that involves employing her but as a security consultant rather than a hunter. -Is this a character you intend to bring into the home in some capacity? What are your plans for her? -Have a specific time slot in mind for when this scene would play out? I was picturing maybe 11pm to 1am.

That was NOT me. So lets just forget this ever happened, ok?<</talk>> <<talk "thought">>Sure it was.<</talk>> You think with amusement. Then you decide to put her out of her misery. <<talk "player">>I hate it when someone steals my phone and sends messages to random people on my contacts list. Everything's alright now? You didn't have to kick their ass too hard did you?<</talk>> A few seconds later you receive one final message. <<talk "claire">>Yeah, um, they got a right proper arse kicking for it. Thanks for understanding. I'm going to um get back to what I was doing before.<</talk>> Chuckling to yourself, you put the phone back in your pocket. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Your phone buzzing in your pocket catches your attention. Reaching for it you see that you have a message from Claire. Opening it, you aren't sure what you're looking at. A mass of jumbled letters and numbers fill the screen. <<talk "thought">>Did she just butt text me? I think she did.<</talk>> Shaking your head, you close the message and drop the phone back in your pocket. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Your phone starts to ring, leaving you scrambling to pull it out of your pocket. You only glance at Claire's name before flipping it open. <<talk "player">>Hello?<</talk>> You say into the phone. You can hear sound on the other end of the phone, people talking, but the sound is muffled and you can't make out a single word of what is being said. <<talk "player">>Claire? You there?<</talk>> The noise continues, but there's no acknowledgment from Claire. You're just about to hang up when you hear Claire's voice, louder than the others. <<talk "claire">>Bartender, another!<</talk>> <<talk "thought">>I think she butt dialed me from the bar.<</talk>> You think to yourself before talking into the phone. <<talk "player">>I'm pretty sure you butt dialed me, so I'm going to hang up now. Bye Claire.<</talk>> With a little shrug, you end the call before slipping the phone back into your pocket. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You're wandering the hallway, passing by the living room when your phone rings. Pulling it out of your pocket, you check the screen. <<talk "claire">>It's Claire.<</talk>> [[Answer the phone.|Claire Visit 1a]] [[Ignore the call.|Claire Visit 1b]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>> ''By: Irish Major Tom''

Tapping the green button, you answer the call. <<talk "claire">>Hey, I'm dropping by in a bit, thought I'd give you a heads up. Cheers love!<</talk>> She doesn't give you a chance to reply before hanging up. You let out a sigh, preparing yourself mentally. Entering the living room, you seat yourself on the couch as you grab for the remote, flicking through the channels. An hour later, Anna appears in the doorway. <<talk "anna">>Excuse me, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, you have a visitor.<</talk>> She's cut off as Claire forces her way past her, striding towards the couch. <<talk "claire">>Hello love, thanks for giving me some of your time.<</talk>> You look to a confused Anna, nodding at her. She takes the hint, excusing herself from the room. Next to you, Claire falls back onto the couch, releasing an exhausted sigh as she relaxes. <<talk "claire">>Nice place you got here huh.<</talk>> She looks around, admiring the grand scale of the room compared to her tiny apartment. Her eyes find themselves wandering over to you. <<talk "claire">>So handsome, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself.<</talk>> A grin creeping to the corner of her lips. You spend the next hour talking about your childhood, growing up with your family and your journey to the mansion. The topic eventually drifts to your uncle. You're curious as to what Claire's perception is of your late uncle. <<talk "claire">>In the past, my uncle made use of your services. What did you think about him and how he kept slaves around?<</talk>> The question takes her by surprise. <<talk "claire">>Hmm, honestly speaking, I wasn't in his employ for too long but the time I did spend working under him wasn't too bad.<</talk>> She pauses, pulling a flask out from behind. As she unscrews the top, the smell of alcohol assaults your nose. Tipping the flask back, she takes a huge gulp before continuing. <<talk "claire">>I was in a bit of a situation when he found me, he lent me his hand when no one else did. There's no point in worrying about petty things like slaves and all that, we're all slaves to someone or something at some point in our lives anyway.<</talk>> With the topic of your uncle drying up, the two of you turn to a conversation about news from across the seas, events happening in other places. <<talk "claire">>Hey, have you ever heard the name, von Reichart?<</talk>> Her question coming from nowhere. You search your brain for any memory of that name, but you can't come up with anything. Shaking your head, you can see a faint look of disappointment. <<talk "player">>Well, it's the name of a family and a corporation. They were a big deal in the underworld, until a few years ago when the CEO died and his daughter took over.<</talk>> There's a pause as she takes another gulp from her flask. <<talk "claire">>It seems she distanced the company from any form of slavery. But the real kicker is, just recently both the corporations she owned under her family's name went bankrupt. Apparently accruing a debt of several billion dollars, the authorities are searching for her.<</talk>> She finishes off the last of the alcohol. The two of you sit on the couch in silence as the conversation dies down with nothing left to discuss. You and Claire watch the TV for several minutes, as the time ticks by, she gets up without a word. Stretching her body out, she turns to you. <<talk "player">>Thanks again for the visit, I'll see you again sometime love.<</talk>> You watch her saunter out into hallway, one last look back before disappearing with a wink.

Sitting on the couch in the living room, with the remote in hand, you flip through several channels before landing on a random show detailing the life of a feudal duchess. Before the show gets too far, you can hear Anna’s voice behind you. <<talk "anna">>Excuse me, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, there’s a visitor here to see you.<</talk>> Switching the TV off, you get up from the couch, turning your attention to Anna. <<talk "player">>A visitor?<</talk>> <<talk "anna">>Yes, I believe it’s Claire. She said she wanted to talk about something important with you.<</talk>> You nod, following Anna as she leads you to the entry hall. Walking along the hallway your mind runs over the main possible reasons why Claire would visit the mansion without calling ahead. Your thoughts are set aside as you enter the main hall, in the middle of the marbled white floor, stands a petite woman with short red hair. Her eye ars filled with amazement as she inspects the place, looking around before they fall upon yours. Staring straight at you, the corners of her mouth slid upwards into a grin. Striding towards Anna and you, speaking in a thick accent. <<talk "claire">>Ah, finally, I was wondering when you were going to show up. Come on, let’s get cozy shall we?<</talk>> Slapping you on the shoulder as she heads in the direction of the dining hall. Anna looks at you, confusion clear in her eyes. You simply sigh, hanging your head for moment. You look to your companion. <<talk "player">>I suppose I should see what she wants, can you fetch us some refreshments please?<</talk>> Anna nods, scurrying off in the same direction as Claire. As you enter the dinning room, you spot Claire sitting down at the table, again admiring the spacious room, her eyes hesitating at the erotic art. Clearing your throat, you take the seat beside her. <<talk "player">>So, what is it you wanted to discuss with me Claire?<</talk>> Curious as to the nature of her visit. Her reply is a simple. <<talk "claire">>Hmm...<</talk>> You and Claire stay like this for several moments, a tense silence hanging between you two. Wanting to press her, you’re about to speak when she cuts in. <<talk "claire">>I still can’t get over this place you know, even in the employ of your uncle I’ve only ever set foot on this property once and it was very brief.<</talk>> Her eyes finally meeting yours. <<talk "claire">>Kind of makes you feel like a Disney princess, doesn’t it?<</talk>> She giggles. <<talk "claire">>Let’s wait for the tea, I’m thirsty.<</talk>> The silence feels like it lasts forever, Claire still admiring the room as you stare at her. Until Anna enters the room, a tray of tea and cups in hand, she walks up between you and Claire, placing the tray in front of you before placing a cup for each of you. She leans forward, grabbing the tea pot. Lifting it, she pours the content of the pot into your cup, filling it to just before the rim. The sweet aroma tickling your senses, she does the same for Claire. You thank her, waving her off. Anna nods, taking her leave. Next to you, your visitor is pouring a flask of liquid into her tea, the smell of alcohol plugging your nose. You can't help but notice that the already full cup is now precariously close to overflowing. <<talk "claire">>What, it gives it taste. You should really try it sometime. You won’t regret it.<</talk>> You look back at Claire, your expression unimpressed. She mimics you, lasting only a second before bursting out laughing. Wiping the tears from her eyes. <<talk "claire">>You looked almost exactly like my brother there for a moment.<</talk>> Her expression turns sour for a split second before returning to normal. <<talk "claire">>Anyway, I came here to discuss something super important.<</talk>> Reaching behind her, she pulls out a tablet. Placing it on the table, she slides it over to you. Inspecting it, you pick it up, the touch screen lighting up. <<talk "claire">>I’ve been doing some wet work since you hired me, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting to find any for quite a while but. . . <</talk>> Drawing out the end of her sentence before pausing, taking a sip of her tea. <<talk "claire">>It seems quite the proposal has landed in my lap, a once in a lifetime kind of deal. All I need is your signature at the bottom of that page. You can read it if you’d like.<</talk>> Nodding, you stare at the screen, reading the words on the document she’s presented. <<talk "claire">>You see, I’ve managed to snag the interest of a seller. And considering the company you keep. . . .<</talk>> She pauses again, sipping from the cup of tea in her hand before continuing. <<talk "claire">>Misaki Aoki, a twenty-year-old girl from the east. Black hair, blue eyes as cold as the ice itself, you might consider her petite by all definitions but she’s certainly fit. Her weight is what you’d expect of a young lady in that age group and her measurements are fairly decent.<</talk>> Her spiel finished, she takes another sip of her tea, finishing it off. With a sigh, she places the cup on the table. <<talk "claire">>There’s one thing about her though.<</talk>> Her expression and tone serious. You gulp, unable to tear your gaze away from her. Hesitantly you ask. <<talk "player">>And what is that?<</talk>> The tense silence returns, Claire unmoving, unresponsive to your question. <<talk "claire">>She lacks the abilities you and I possess to see, meaning that she is blind. Which is why no one else wants her and the price is cheap. If you’re willing, I can have the paperwork sent off and delivered within the week. If not, just slide that thing back to me and we’ll forget this conversation ever happened.<</talk>> Your mind still processing the information Claire has just given you. <<talk "thought">>Do I want a servant who lacks sight?<</talk>> The question turning over and over again in your mind, unable to find the answer, you stare up at the ceiling. <<talk "thought">>How would I get her adjusted to life in the mansion? I wonder how the others would react, Eve would be excited regardless, and Anna would most likely go about herself. I think. And what happens to her if I don't make this purchase if no one else takes her?<</talk>> [[Accept the offer.|Claire Slave 1a]] [[Decline the proposal.|$location][$misaki.addFlag("declined")]] ''By: Irish Major Tom''

You agree to purchase the new slave, and say your goodbyes to Claire as she heads for the door. In the doorway she turns, lingering for a split second to shoot you a cheeky grin before closing the front door behind herself. [[End.|$location]] <<run $misaki.addFlag("arriving")>>

Starts through a Couch `setup.events.couch` event or a `northHall` passage event.

As you’re walking through the halls, your phone rings. Pulling the phone out, you check who the caller is. On screen reads the name "Claire". <<talk "thought">>It’s her.<</talk>> Feelings of dread and anticipation swirl around in your mind. Your anxiety increasing as you tap the green button on the screen, connecting the call. On the other side is a girlish, low sounding voice. <<talk "claire">>Hey daaarling!<</talk>> Dragging out darling for a second. All you can do is let out a sigh towards the person on the other end. <<talk "player">>What is it Claire?<</talk>> <<talk "claire">>No need to sound so disappointed, I though I’d give you a ring, let you know that we’re an hour out at most. We’ll be arriving shortly with the package, see you soon.<</talk>> The call ends abruptly, leaving you without the chance to respond. <<talk "thought">>Well that was, good news, she sounded overly excited about this. I wonder what that’s about.<</talk>> Shaking your head, you put the thought away, instead finding yourself in the living room. Flipping through several of the channels, none of them catching your interest. <<talk "thought">>I’m anxious to see what this new girl is like, Claire mentioned she was in her early twenties. Hopefully she’ll fit in well around here.<</talk>> Before long, drowsiness begins to settle over you. You blink several times until finally, you blink one final time before the sweet embrace of slumber takes you. A light shaking wakes you up, eyes still groggy, you look around. In front of you stands Eve. <<talk "eve">>Oh, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>> your phone rang several times, so I checked it for you. Claire sent you a couple of messages, I didn’t read them or anything.<</talk>> A sheepish grin spreads across her features, her head tilted downwards. Rubbing your eyes with your hand, you sit up. <<talk "player">>It’s fine, thank you Eve.<</talk>> She nods, stepping back as you stand up. <<talk "eve">>Are you expecting visitors?<</talk>> Her expression changing to that of an excited child expecting a friend to visit them. Her enthusiasm is infectious, forcing a grin from you as you kneel to face her. Playfully tapping her on the head with your knuckles. <<talk "player">>You went through my messages, didn’t you?<</talk>> A mock expression of shock replaces her excited look. <<talk "eve">>No way!<</talk>> For a moment the two of you stare at one another, unwilling to move. Until you burst out laughing, Eve unable to hold herself back anymore, joins you. After the laughing fit calms down, Eve happily runs off. For a moment you forget all about Claire and the messages, you curse under your breath as reality comes crashing down, in the form of a rough sound playing from the phone in your hand. You read the text. <<talk "claire">>We’re pulling up now, be ready, I think you’ll enjoy this one. Wish you’d let me train 'em!<</talk>> <<talk "thought">>Oh no, I must have dozed off, I better hurry!<</talk>> You rush out of the living room, your legs carrying you towards the entry hall, stopping right before the large doors. Pausing you can hear the car pulling up the driveway. You push the doors open, eager to greet the newest addition to your home. Standing at the top of the stairs leading into the mansion, you wait, staring at the car sitting in front of you. The whole world seems to stop as the passenger door opens, Claire stepping out and circling around to the back door, behind the driver’s seat. Opening the door, she offers a hand to the occupant who, after a moment, graciously accepts it. The two of them standing at the bottom of the stairs. The new slave Claire mentioned just a few feet away from you. You inspect her from head to toe, her hair pulled into a neat bun at the back of her head, fluttering with the wind, adding to her beautiful appearance. Her icy blue eyes lending a sense of serenity to her demeanor. As you inspect the girl, Claire steps forward. <<talk "claire">>Like what you see?<</talk>> [img[images/scenes/misakiMeet.png]] [[Accept Misaki.|Claire Slave 2a]] [[Tell Claire you’ve changed your mind.|Claire Slave 2b]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 11 }>><<run $misaki.deleteFlag("arriving")>>

Unable to tear your eyes from the girl, you respond to Claire. <<talk "player">>I am, thank you Claire, is there any other business you need of me?<</talk>> For a moment she looks as if she’s going to say something but refrains from doing so. <<talk "claire">>No, all the paperwork’s been handled, courtesy of me. Obviously, but I’ll let you two get acquainted with one another, so long partner.<</talk>> She waves goodbye to you as she enters the car. You watch as it slowly disappears behind the trees that line the driveway. With Claire gone, you turn your attention back to the new girl. Deciding what to do now.

<<talk "player">>As much as I would love to say yes, I can’t.<</talk>> With a pause, you take a deep breath before continuing. <<talk "player">>I’m sorry Claire but I don’t think I’m ready, nor willing to take in another servant. Please, return her.<</talk>> Claire simply nods her head, turning to the girl next to her. <<talk "claire">>Well, that could have gone better, I guess my darling partner isn’t in need of a new addition to his collection.<</talk>> The girl simply nods, letting Claire guide her back into the car. As Claire closes the door, she looks up at you. <<talk "claire">>You sure you don’t want her?<</talk>> You nod in response. <<talk "player">>How bad will this be financially?<</talk>> You ask, a feeling of worry taking hold. Claire simply shrugs. <<talk "claire">>It won’t affect operations too much, On the Grind should take her for around the same price I bought her for. And since it was made using money you lent me.<</talk>> There’s a slight pause in her sentence. <<talk "claire">>Let’s just say, you’ll get the money back, I’ve got it covered. I had something planned in case you decided you did not want her at the last minute.<</talk>> A sigh of relief leaves your mouth as your body relaxes. With everything taken care of, you bode Claire farewell as the car pulls out. Disappearing behind the many trees that stand alongside the driveway.

<<talk "thought">>I bet Anna would enjoy a little picnic.<</talk>> You think to yourself. Over the next few seconds the thought settles into your mind and starts to take shape. Almost on autopilot, you turn to the refrigerator and start to pull a few items out. Once you have everything you need to make the sandwiches, you get started, making a small assortment of sandwiches, washing some fruits, and even packaging some left over pastries all into a simple basket. With the picnic basket in hand, you leave the kitchen in search of Anna. It doesn't take long before you find her busy cleaning one of the mansion's many rooms. <<talk "player">>Anna, the cleaning can wait.

Her hands paw at your clothes, every bit as desperate to undress you as you are to expose her flesh. Within a minute, both of you are naked, clothing scattered casually all around you. Anna offers no resistance when you lower her to the wooden planks of the dock, her legs spreading to allow you access to her most intimate place. You kneel, bending low over her to kiss her just above the knee. A second kiss is a few inches higher but on the other leg. Your third kiss touches the inner thigh half way up. The fourth fills your nostrils with the heady scent of her arousal, and the next brings your lips in contact with her hot nether lips. She moans softly as your tongue slides along her slit, parting her folds as you taste the honey sweet juices flowing freely from her pussy.

When her eyes move to you, a lazy sort of smile forms on her lips. You can feel your softening cock preparing to slip free of her, so you roll over onto your side, pulling her into an embrace as you do so.

<<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 150>> Anna gets into the car, seeming just a little reluctant to join you in the front seat. Once inside, she smiles at you, then turns her attention to buckling herself in. For the next few minutes, you drive, both of you enjoying a comfortable silence. You can't help but smile just a little bit whenever you glance over and see how excited she clearly is about this trip.

Your thoughts begin to turn to where you'd like to take her to eat. <<else>> Anna gets into the car, her movements stiff and her expression pinched with worry. You think you can see her hands tremble slightly as she buckles herself in. Occasionally as you drive, you glance over at her and see her head still downcast, but her eyes are raised, the muscles around her eyes loosening slightly as she looks at the trees along the road. Once, as you are approaching the town of Pendleton, you catch her looking at you, her expression uncertain. <<talk "thought">>I wonder where she'd like to eat?<</talk>> The question feels awkward in your mind as you begin to slow the car. <</if>> [[Daddy's Home Cooking.|Anna Daddy Home Cooking Date 1]] <<set $anna.affection += 2>><<addtime { minute : 26 }>>

I bet Anna would enjoy it too.<</talk>> Driving down main street, you're about half way across town when you see the large sign reading 'Daddy's Diner!' comes into view. You navigate the vehicle to an empty parking spot. As soon as you are parked, you quickly exit the vehicle and dart around it to open the door for Anna on the other side. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 50>> Her eyes flicker up toward yours, a faint smile playing across her lips as she starts to get out of the vehicle. As she exits the vehicle, she instinctively reaches for your hand, taking comfort in your closeness as all of the activity around her threatens to overwhelm her. You close the door with your free hand, then give her hand an affectionate squeeze before starting toward the 60s themed diner. The interior is brightly lit, with crisp colors and a checkered floor. An old jukebox in one corner of the diner fills the establishment with music from the time period. Just inside the door, you let your eyes drift over the interior. Through the portal into the kitchen you can see a fatherly looking man hard at work making food. Even as you watch one of the serving girls, young enough to be his daughter, walks by and he gives her a playful swat on the bottom. Meanwhile, you don't notice another serving girl approach until she's nearly standing in front of you. She's a young brunette with a light dusting of freckles and an easy smile. Most striking about her is the unmistakable bulge of pregnancy straining at the belly of her uniform. <<talk "femaleEmployee">>Just two of you this evening?<</talk>> The serving girl's voice is melodious and friendly.

As soon as your own plate is placed before you, your attention shifts to it. <<talk "femaleEmployee">>Anything else I can get either of you?<</talk>> The serving girl asks. <<talk "anna">>No thank you<</talk>> Anna says softly.

Returning your attention to your own food, you dig in, enjoying every savory bite. As the two of you eat, you engage in some small talk, but nothing of importance. Instead it's comments about the food, or the diner's decor, or even the fact that you're on a date. The mere mention of the last item fills Anna with visible joy. When the meal is finally complete, the serving girl returns again, taking your plates and asking if either of you would like some dessert. Anna politely declines and you do the same. Before leaving the table, the serving girl thanks you for coming then heads for the kitchens. Slipping from the booth seat, Anna slips her arm through yours.

Once the engine falls silent, you slip from the car. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 350 or $anna.fear lte 500>> As you drive, you can see Anna occasionally casting glances your way.

Anna remains silent, her eyes fixed on the darkness outside of the car. You on the other hand remain quiet simply because you aren't sure if what to say. When you finally start down the long driveway that leads to the mansion, you can't help but reflect that the ride back felt longer than it should have. <<talk "player">>Anna...<</talk>> You say softly.

She looks like she wants to say something, but instead she looks away, a hint of color darkening her cheeks. Taking a half step toward her, your hands drift from her hips to her ass to give it a quick but affectionate squeeze. She makes a little startled sound. The surprised expression on her face is a poor mask for the grin tugging at her lips. Leaning in quickly, you kiss her again, then pull back and tell her. <<talk "player">>Should probably let your sister know we're home.

When you break the kiss, her eyes remain closed for a second longer as if expecting your lips to return at any moment. <<talk "player">>I'll let you to check in with your sister. Who knows if we even have any cookies left after being gone for so long.<</talk>> Anna nods first, then blushes slightly before turning and striding toward the mansion.

The whole while she walks toward the mansion's front door, you can't help but watch her shapely hips swing side to side as she walks. <<else>> Anna looks scared as you step close to her. Reaching out, you lightly take hold of her chin, tilting her head gently upward until she meets your eyes. <<talk "player">>I'm glad I got to spend the evening with you.

All the while she talks, she doesn't even slow long enough for you to get a word in edge wise.

You haven't even finished getting out of your side of the car when Eve is at your side, taking you by the hand and nearly pulling you out of the car in her excitement. Closing the door behind yourself, you allow her to lead you into the Daddy's Home Cooking diner. Even before the door is open, you can smell the scent of hamburgers and French fries, the door opening makes those delicious scents. A peppy song is playing from the jukebox, barely audible over the babble of the patrons within the establishment. You're barely through the door when a young woman approaches, straws sticking out of a pouch in her skirt and an order pad in her hand. <<talk "femaleEmployee">>Just the two of you today?

It only takes you a moment to choose one of your favorites from the menu, but Eve struggles with her choice, seeming to want to try everything. Ultimately she decides on a simple cheeseburger and fries. True to her word, the serving girl returns within seconds of Eve making her decision and takes your order. For the next few minutes, you watch Eve, talking with her occasionally, but mostly just watching her trying to look at everything at once. //I've never known anyone who can express such a sense of wonder for everything around them.// Eve's wonder turns into a face splitting grin as the serving girl finally returns with your food, placing Eve's food in front of her first, then serving yours.

You're just turning back to your food when you look at Eve. You can't help but grin as you see her squirting too much catchup on her burger and more on her fries. She then reaches for the mustard and adds just a few drops to the burger before shoving the top bun back on the burger and making half of what she just added ooze down the sides. //Did she even add enough mustard to taste it?// You wonder. Your thoughts are derailed as you watch her take a big bite of the cheeseburger, leaving you in awe at the sheer amount of mess she makes of her face in a single bite. <<talk "eve">>Oh my God, this tastes SO good.<</talk>>\ Smiling, you manage to resist the urge to laugh at her antics as you start to eat your own meal.

Meanwhile, you make the occasional comment or answer questions. Eve's sheer joy proving infectious and leaving you feeling happy and just a bit silly by the end of the meal. Once both of you are done eating, you point Eve toward the bathroom, telling her she'd better clean herself up or both of you will be in trouble with Anna when you get home.

"Anna," Your voice is enough to grab her attention, her footsteps faltering as her eyes move to you. "Yes?" Her tone is just a little weary after her day. "Would you run down to the wine cellar, grab a bottle of something fruity then meet me in the lounge?" You ask. Anna nods quickly, her eyes suddenly filled with a sense of purpose as she strides off to do as you asked. As soon as she's out of sight, you head toward the lounge. Upon entering you walk over to the bar and take two glasses before sitting in the couch facing the door leading into the room. You don't have to wait long before Anna enters, bottle carefully cradled in her hands as she approaches. She stops just short of you, presenting the bottle. The moment she notices the two glasses in your hands her expression pinches momentarily with concern and her eyes flicker around the room as if seeking another person. "Sit with me," You tell her, trying to keep your tone non-threatening. She does so hesitantly, sitting with several inches space between you. "You work hard around here, and I thought it might be nice to do something to show my appreciation," You say, popping the cork and pouring a bit of the bottle's content into each glass before handing her one. "Thank you," She says softly, looking at the glass in her hand as if it is completely alien to her. As you watch, you see her breathe in, her eyes half closing at the scent, then raising the glass to her lips and tilting it. You see the fluid reach her lips for the tiniest sip before the glass lowers again. The very tip of her tongue slides out, tasting her lips before vanishing into her mouth again. It's only then that she seems to realize that you are watching, her demeanor becoming instantly self conscious. You manage to hide your smile behind your glass as you take a sip as well. The taste just shy of being too sweet but not unpleasant. //Can't quite place the flavor, maybe plum or something similar?// <<link "Pour Anna another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.AnnaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "Finish drinking.">><<gotoevent setup.events.AnnaDrinkingEnd>><</link>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<if not $anna.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $anna.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>>

"Anna," You say as you near her, "Would you run down to the wine cellar and grab a bottle of wine. Something fruity. I'll be in the lounge." Anna nods quickly, already in motion while she strides off to perform the task. As soon as she's out of sight, you head toward the lounge. Upon entering you walk over to the bar and take two glasses before sitting in the couch facing the door leading into the room. You don't have to wait long before Anna enters, bottle carefully cradled in her hands as she approaches. She stops just short of you, presenting the bottle. The moment she notices the two glasses in your hands her eyes quickly scan the room in search of anyone else. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 50>>Seeing no one, she looks at you.

Patting the space beside you with your free hand, you see Anna bite her lip to hide her smile then she quickly slips into the offered space. Beside you, you can feel her sit close enough that her side brushes against yours. Sitting the two glasses down, you take the bottle from her. The cork comes free with a soft pop, then you pour a bit of the fluid into each glass before offering one to her. Picking up the second glass, you watch Anna from the corner of your eye. She raises her glass almost to her lips and you can see her breathe deeply of the sweet smelling fluid within. After a brief hesitation, she brings her lips to the glass and tilts it back until the liquid touches her lips, barely enough for a small sip before she lowers the glass again. You can tell from the pleased expression on her features that she likes it. It's only then that she seems to notice you watching her. Her cheeks darken as a shy sort of smile forms on her lips, "Thank you, this is very nice." "You're welcome," You reply before taking a small sip from your own glass. //Sort of sweet, but I can't place the flavor,// You muse. For the next couple of minutes, each of you sip at your wine, not saying much but simply enjoying being in each others' presence. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 650 or $anna.fear lte 300>>Seeing no one, she looks at you.

Sitting the two glasses down, you take the bottle from her. The cork comes free with a soft pop, then you pour a bit of the fluid into each glass before offering one to her.

As soon as the words leave her mouth, she raises her glass to her lips and downs the remainder of it's contents.

Giving her a reassuring little hug, you lean over and kiss her lightly on the forehead.

Occasionally as you walk, you'll stumble slightly, partially from Anna's weight and partly from your own level of intoxication, but the closest she comes to waking is when she mumbles something unintelligible into your chest. When you finally reach your destination, you have to shift her into an awkward one handed grip so you can pull the covers back, then you lay her in the bed and tuck her in.

You're just drunk enough to feel unsteady, but not so much that you expect to have troubles getting her to bed. Gingerly, you slip your arms under her and pick her up, cradling her in your arms as you turn toward the door just a little too quickly. You stumble half a step before you catch yourself. Meanwhile, she curls up, her head coming to rest on our shoulder but showing no sign of waking. More carefully, you start to walk, your footsteps straying in spite of your best attentions at times. But eventually you reach your destination. Then you find yourself presented with another problem, how to pull the covers back without dropping her. You shift her to one side, hoisting her into a fireman's carry just long enough to pull back the covers, then you half lay her, half drop her, into the bed. Anna murmurs something as you pull the covers over her, but you can't make out anything intelligible in the sounds that she makes. Quietly wishing her a goodnight, you turn and head back to the lounge where you proceed to put away the bottle and wash the glasses.

[[End.|$location]] Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Carefully, you slip off of the couch and lay Anna across the cushions, making sure that she's laying in a comfortable position before stepping away from the couch. Leaning down, you pick up the two wine glasses and the bottle then walk to the bar on one side of the room. You have just enough time to put the bottle into the little cooler under the counter before you see Anna sit up clumsily, a glazed look on her face. She doesn't even seem to notice you as she gets to her feet on wobbly legs and starts to stagger toward the lounge door. As she moves, you watch her in case she falls, but when each footstep seems to be a little more sure than the last, you instead wash the glasses, expecting that she will get to bed just fine without assistance.

When you see Gaia playing in the back yard of the estate, your mind returns to your experience with trying to get her to drink a little wine, //Maybe I should try again, something fruity and sweet?// Seeing that Gaia is acting carefree and showing no signs of leaving, you figure you probably have time to go find something in the wine cellar. <<link "Try to have a drink with Gaia.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingStart>><</link>> <<link "Not right now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingSkip>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty

"Gaia!" You call out as you leave the mansion, glasses in one hand and the bottle in the other. She pivots toward you, a smile flashing across her features. Then she sees the bottle in your hand and her expression turns skeptical. Holding up the bottle, you point at the label with a picture of apples around the lettering. Gaia squints and leans forward, but doesn't take even a single step toward. Instead, you walk to her, coming to stand just a little over arm's reach from her, //It's amazing, she was so terrified of me when we first met, and now she seems curious and generally friendly,// "I brought this, I wanted to share it with you," You say, showing her the bottle again. She looks at the label skeptically, then turns her gaze on you. "Sit with me?" You ask as you sit down on the grass. After a brief hesitation, she sits across from you. It takes you a moment, but you pop the cork, then pour a little bit of the golden fluid into each of the glasses. Stuffing the cork back in the bottle, you pick up the glasses, then raise one to your nose, making a show of sniffing at the sweet smelling fluid before handing her the glass. When she takes the glass, she holds it in both hands and raises it to her nose to smell it. Then she raises the glass and takes a tiny sip. Her eyes narrow as she looks at you, then she takes another tiny sip. "Seems you don't mind this one?" You try to make conversation, not really expecting anything in return. For the next few minutes, the two of you sip at your glasses, Gaia seeming a little less hesitant to drink with every sip she takes. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingSkip>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

Gaia sees you almost as soon as you exit the dining room door leading into the back yard of the estate. In an instant, she begins to jog in your direction, only slowing when she sees the bottle in your hand. At first, her expression is curious, then it creases with skepticism. "It's fruity, sweet," You try to explain, holding up the bottle and pointing at the basket of plums at one corner of the label. She tilts her head to one side, approaching slower now, but still approaching. You take that as your cue to sit down, opening the bottle and pouring two glasses. You've barely started to lift the first glass when Gaia snatches it from your hand, splashing a little bit onto her fingers as she does so. As you watch, she sniffs the fluid, then her tongue darts out to taste the fluid. She's about half way through licking her fingers clean when she notices you watching her. Her eyes narrow slightly as she looks at you, her expression suggesting that she thinks you somehow just tricked her. Finally raising your own glass, you take a little sip, "It's really sweet, isn't it?" You offer. Her eyes never leave yours as she raises her glass to her lips, taking a long drink that empties it before lowering it again. You can see her face scrunch up just a little bit, but it doesn't deter her from returning to licking the fluid from her fingers again. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingSkip>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

Gaia's eyes keep moving to the bottle at your side. If it wasn't clear that her glass was still half full, you would think she wants another drink. She sips absently at her glass again, then suddenly reaches out to snatch the bottle. You see her fumble with it, a clear indication that she's getting drunk, but she doesn't quite drop it. Instead, she raises it to her lips and bares her teeth. You hear a solid 'Clink!' as her teeth come in contact with the glass. "You don't eat the bottle," You quickly say, reaching for the bottle. Gaia growls at you, a deep sound that reverberates from her naked chest. It's then that you see her tongue lapping at the side of the bottle, licking the label. Still holding the glass in her hand, you see her spilling a little bit at a time as she focuses her attention on the bottle. "Gaia, it's just a picture of fruit on the label, it's not real, it's just meant to give you an idea of what the wine is supposed to taste like," You fight back a chuckle as she licks the label one last time, the motion taking several seconds as she draws her tongue slowly across the label before reluctantly handing the bottle back to you. She looks unhappy as you take the bottle, as if the whole incident is somehow your fault. Making a little huffing sound, she raises her glass back to her lips and drinks what little remains before lowering it again. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

With glass in hand, Gaia raises it to her lips. Her tongue darts out, flicking at the fluid like an animal drinking from a bowl. Ever so slowly, she tilts the glass back, draining it one scoop of the tongue at a time until only a little bit remains. At that point she changes strategies, thrusting her tongue into the glass with surprising depth and agility as she tries to lick the last few drops from the interior of the glass. She lets out a small sound of displeasure as she finally finishes and lowers her glass once more. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

Gaia watches you carefully as you raise your glass to your lips. Her own hands moving, mirroring your movements as she tries to match what you are doing with considerably less grace, // It's funny, she's one of the most graceful people I've ever met, but things I take for granted she struggles with. When she finishes drinking the contents of her glass, she lowers it to her lap. It only takes you a second to realize that you had already done the same. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

Watching Gaia, she fumbles with the glass, trying to match your grip but nearly dropping her drink in the process. She growls softly, casting a sour expression at the rebellious wine glass in her hand before tilting the glass up and downing it in one go. You see her face scrunch up, contort, then finally pucker in the wake of swallowing the alcohol, but she offers no other protest. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

You notice an uncharacteristically thoughtful expression on Gaia's dusky features. Her eyes bore into yours as if seeking some answer that is eluding her. "You ok?" You ask after a moment. She snorts, then looks away, her eyes drifting towards the forest nearby. For the next few minutes, the two of you sit in relative silence, you sipping at your glass, and her making little slurping sounds every time she takes a drink. <<link "Pour Gaia another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.GaiaDrinkingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<if not $gaia.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $gaia.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>>

You're just getting ready to pour her another glass when she makes a sort of mewling sound. "Gaia? You ok? You're not going to be sick are you?" You ask, concern in your tone. She looks at you, her expression holding a deep sadness that makes you want to reach out to her. Dropping her glass, she crawls toward you on her hands and knees. When she reaches you, she looks into your eyes for a long moment, then slower than before she slips into your lap. You feel a hint of amusement, her tall frame fitting awkwardly into your lap and you have to put your arms around her to keep her from falling out of your lap. Taking a deep breath, you're assailed by her heady scent, thick earthy smells nearly overpowered by her own scent, //She //really// needs a bath.// When you meet her eyes again, you can see something new in her eyes. Behind the sadness, there's fear that seems ready to overwhelm her. You hum softly, hoping that the sound might somehow comfort her. And then it happens, her body begins to tremble as she starts to cry, her face held against your chest as you cradle her shaking form close. Not knowing what else to do, you begin to rock her gently. "I wish I knew what was troubling you. I wish I could make you feel better," You say softly, hoping that even if she doesn't understand the words that she'll still find comfort in their intent. "Mommy," At first you think the word was unintentional, but she repeats it over and over again, the sound nearly lost in her sobs. Some part of you feels nearly overwhelmed, knowing that some small part of her remembers her mother, or perhaps just remembers the comfort her mother brought to her in times of need when she was little. It's not long before her sounds die down and are replaced by the gentle sound of her breathing. //She's fallen asleep,// You realize, continuing to rock her. You aren't sure how long you hold her like that, but one second to the next, she goes from sleeping to nearly flying out of your arms to land in a three pointed stance just out of arm's reach. Even before her bleary eyes focus on you, she hisses in momentary panic. She fumbles for her spear, bringing it to bear on you as she shies away, then she pauses, seeming to really see you for the first time since waking. She makes a sound, like a wounded animal. Her eyes darting between you and the forest. She takes a step toward the forest, stops and leans toward you, then turns and runs for the forest edge. For several minutes, you remain where you are, not sure if she'll come back or not. When you resign yourself to the fact that she's not likely to return, you finally get up, picking up the wine bottle and glasses before heading back toward the mansion. The whole way, your thoughts are on Gaia, wondering what must be going through her mind.

Gaia looks at the bottle beside you, then at the glass in your hand. Her brow creases for a heartbeat, then she tries to stand suddenly. She staggers, but manages to stay on her feet. Seeing that the glass is still in her hand, she drops it on the lawn, then begins to walk toward the forest, her footsteps leading her in a zig-zag pattern as she goes. Not once does she look back your way, though occasionally she seems to use the spear to steady herself. You watch her go, enjoying the view her naked body affords you until she vanishes into the trees.

Across from you, Gaia starts to make noise. It reminds you of a baby babbling, sound without rhyme, reason, or pattern, nothing even vaguely sounding like words. Then her eyes lock with yours and the noise stops. There's a long second that passes, and you can see her struggling to stay upright. //Looks like she's had enough,// You think. Only because you're watching her do you react in time. When she starts to pitch forward, you reach out quickly and catch her in your arms. For several heartbeats you cradle her awkwardly, then when you realize that she's not moving, you shift her weight so that you can see her face. //She looks like she's out cold.// "Gaia?" You call softly to her, then when she doesn't respond, you try again, "Gaia?" You consider your options, realizing that with Gaia, the simple solutions might not be the right ones, //If I take her inside and put her in a bed, she's going to freak out and not know where she is, and I can't just leave her laying in the lawn.// Carefully getting to your feet, you scoop her up in your arms, your own intoxication making you unsteady, then start to walk toward the mansion. Once inside, you look around the dining hall, leaving the door open behind you as you move toward the fireplace where a low burning fire radiates warmth into the room. Very carefully, you lay her down on the floor. She rolls part way over and makes a murmuring sound, but shows no sign of waking up. "Ok," You say to yourself, "Lets find her a blanket and pillow, then I'll go get her spear for her." Your eyes move over Gaia's naked form, following the curves of her athletic body, "If you wake up, the door is open. So please don't destroy anything on the way out," You say, only half joking as you slip away to collect a blanket and pillow for her. When you get back, she's curled in the fetal position in front of the fire, her face turned toward the warmth. It takes a minute, but you get the blanket wrapped around her, and with less trouble than you expect; the pillow under her head. With a sigh, you slip back into the yard to collect her spear. When you pick it up, it feels heavy in your hand, but at the same time it's surprisingly well balanced. Once you are back in the dining hall, you place the spear close to her hand, hoping that she'll find some comfort in it's presence when she wakes. "I'm going to slip into the kitchen, find some water, maybe something to eat for the both of us when you wake up," You say to her sleeping form before putting action to your words. Once in the kitchen, you grab a couple pieces of fruit and a pair of water bottles from the refrigerator. When you step back into the dining hall, you discover the place in front of the fireplace empty. You quickly search the area for her, but you see no sign of Gaia, her spear, the blanket you had her wrapped in, or the pillow. When you glance out at the back yard, you see Gaia walking unsteadily toward the trees, blanket and pillow under one arm, and using her spear to steady herself with the other.

Before you can seriously consider going to get something from the wine cellar, you see Gaia pivot quickly, clearly startled by something. Her eyes dart about for a moment, alternating between the sky, the mansion, and the treeline. Then with an impressive burst of speed, she bolts toward the treeline as if the hounds of hell are hot on her heels. You watch her go, wondering what might have startled her as she vanishes into the trees. [[End.|$location]] Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Gaia looking meaningfully at the bottle beside you once her glass is empty, then thrusts it out toward you in a two handed grip. "I think we've both had enough for the moment," You tell her even though the bottle is at least half full still. Gaia's eyes narrow slightly, her lips pushing out in a slight pout at the same time. She makes a little huffing sound, then drops the glass in her hands before standing up. The way she turns, you're afforded an incredible view of her body. Her arms flex as she pushes off from the ground, her torso twisting to give you a perfect side profile of her breasts. As she continues to turn, her muscular ass comes into view so close in front of you that you could simply reach out and grab it if you wanted to. She casts one final look at you, her expression pleading as if asking for just one more glass of the sweet and fruity fluid, then turns to walk away. You can't help but watch her go, the way her body moves stirring your lust. Then she's gone, vanishing into the trees. Sighing, you collect the items you brought with you and start to walk back toward the mansion.

When you don't offer her anything further to drink, Gaia scowls then grunts while looking meaningfully at the bottle. "No more right now," You reply, hoping that she'll understand. She sighs, then plops down on the lawn, her breasts jiggling as she lands on her back. Then she draws her legs up and parts her knees as she looks to the sky. You doubt she intends anything more than to be comfortable while looking at the sky, but your eyes are inevitably drawn to the curly bush of black hair between her legs and the way that her labia part to show the pink interior. After a little while, you look back at her face, only to discover that she's already looking back. There's a confused look on her face as she studies your features, then as if it doesn't really matter she returns her eyes to the sky. Not long after that Gaia rolls to her feet, picking up her spear as she does so. Looking at you one last time, she walks toward the trees, her footsteps chosen perhaps a little more carefully than usual.

When you don't immediately refill her glass, Gaia reaches for the bottle. You have to move quickly to keep it out of her reach. Holding it above your head, she lunges at you, knocking you onto your back and the bottle from your hands in the process. Your attempt to stay upright results in one of your legs coming up off the ground, your knee raising into the air and pressing into her crotch. Gaia's eyes widen as she makes a little gasping sound. Right before your eyes, you can see her eyes dilate, her nipples hardening as she shudders slightly. When her eyes meet yours, there's an innocent sort of vulnerability in her gaze. Very slowly, you try to lower your leg, to break the contact, but as soon as you do so she clamps her powerful legs around your leg, pinning it in place as she presses herself against your knee. She pants softly, her legs flexing rhythmically as she presses herself against you. It's not long before she makes a soft but high pitched sound, her body shuddering as she does so. At the same time you feel your knee become wet from her vaginal juices. She half falls against you, and not knowing what else to do, you put your arms around her to hold her. For a long time, she just lays on top of you, her breath coming in heavy gasps. You can even feel her heart beating against your chest. Turning your head toward her, you try to look her in the eyes, but there's still a sort of glazed expression on her face. Her breath however is another matter entirely. You blanch, quickly turning your head away, //We really need to find some way to brush her teeth, or at least find her a tic-tac.// Then you grin as you picture the chaos that would ensue in any attempt to force her to brush her teeth. You're only aware that Gaia has started returning to her senses after her orgasm when she pushes herself away from you. She crouches barely a pace away, uncertainty in her eyes. Then she reaches between her legs, her fingers becoming slick with her juices before she holds her fingers up to her nose to sniff them. As if that's what breaks the tableau, she quickly snatches her spear from the ground and after a long look at your knee, she heads toward the trees.

When you do not immediately fill her glass again, she grunts unhappily, then reaches for her spear. When her hand comes back empty, she tilts her head and looks first at her hand, then at the spear still on the ground. Awkwardly, she paws at the spear again, clearly making a conscious effort to grasp the item before finally lifting it from the ground. Looking at you as if her drunken clumsiness is your fault, she starts to stand, only to fall on her bottom before trying again. Every awkward movement making her expression sour even more. She starts to growl, but her features suddenly pale. For a second you think she's about to be sick, but then the moment passes. When she tries to growl again, the sound is much softer than the first time. Turning, she starts to walk toward the trees, sort of wandering to one side as she goes, pausing to correct her path, then straying to the same side again. You see her correct her path several times before she reaches the nearest tree. Leaning heavily on the tree, she doubles over and wretches. You don't watch, but it sounds like she manages to expel much of what she just drank with you. When you look toward the trees again, you can still hear her moving through the brush, but you can see no sign of her.

"Oh Master?" Misaki's voice calls from somewhere deep in the house, "Master? Where are you?" The playful tone in her voice leaves you wondering how she's planning to entice you this time. "Oh Master?" Her voice is considerably closer, then you see her come into view, "Master?" There's a bottle of wine and two glasses in one of her hands while she uses the cane in the other to guide her way, "Is that you Master?" Her voice purrs. You realize that you're suddenly holding your breath to avoid detection, and realizing what you're doing you let it out. Misaki's head swivels toward you, her mischievous smile growing, "Master, I thought we might have a drink together? A way to relax after you worked so //hard// all day?

"Let me take the glasses at least," You say before doing exactly that, leaving her with just the bottle. Then you use your free hand to guide her hand holding the cane to your arm. She lets go quickly, but only to retract her cane and stow it away again before taking hold of your arm right behind the elbow. The two of you walk to the lounge where you take her to the couch and let her sit down. Meanwhile, you put the glasses on the table, then take the bottle. The cork comes free with a loud pop that sends it flying several feet before bouncing along the ground. Paying the cork little mind, you pour a bit of fluid into each glass before handing one to Misaki. She raises the glass nearly to her lips, her nose flaring as she takes a deep breath of the heady scent. Tilting the glass back, she lets the liquid touch her lips before lowering it again. As you watch, you can see her lips part and her tongue slip out just far enough to taste her lips. A moment later she raises the glass a second time. Turning your attention to your own glass, you raise it to your lips and sip at the liquid, your mouth filling with a faint warmth from the spices in it in spite of the liquid's chill. You drink it slowly, savoring the rich flavor until the glass is empty. Misaki, moving closer to your side, makes you aware of presence once more. Her chest is thrust out, straining at her top and even as you watch, her hand slides toward your thigh. <<link "Pour Misaki another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "Let her continue.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiCouchFuck>><</link>> <<link "Finish drinking.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingEnd>><</link>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 10 }>><<set $misaki.affection += 1>><<set $misaki.fear -= 1>><<set $misaki.trust += 1>><<if not $misaki.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $misaki.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>>

"Let me help you with that," You say, taking the glasses and the bottle from her, then allow her to take hold of your arm. "Master?" Misaki calls near your ear, a mischevious smile on her lips, "You wouldn't get me drunk and take advantage of me now, would you?" You almost laugh, "Would I do a thing like that?" Her smile only seems to grow. The rest of the way to the lounge, the two of you walk in silence, Misaki none-too-subtly brushing her breasts against your arm every chance she gets. Once in the lounge, you lead her to the couch, then sit down the glasses. Turning the cork, it comes loose with a soft 'pop' before you sit it on the table and pour both of you a glass of the amber fluid. You nearly stop dead in your tracks when you turn and see Misaki on the couch. She's sitting with her feet together, her legs spread wide. You have difficulty looking away when you see the way her skirt has ridden up to reveal the fact that she isn't wearing any panties. Even from where you're standing, you can smell the scent of her arousal. After a short pause to gather your wits again, you guide her hand to one of the glasses, "For you," then sit beside her. You can see a faint pout form on her lips when she realized she has not enticed you into taking her right this moment. Instead, she sips thirstily from her glass while leaning lightly against your side. Raising your own glass, you sip at it, finding the liquid to be sweet and spicy like a cider that is followed by a gentle burn as you swallow. It's not until you've finished the glass that Misaki leans close, her breath hot on your ear as her lips brush your lobe, "I like this," She purrs, her hand sliding across your thigh toward your crotch. <<link "Pour Misaki another glass.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiAnotherGlass>><</link>> <<link "Coax her into your lap for a quickie.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiCouchFuck>><</link>> <<link "Finish drinking.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingEnd>><</link>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 10 }>><<set $misaki.affection += 1>><<set $misaki.fear -= 1>><<set $misaki.trust += 1>><<if not $misaki.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $misaki.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>>

<<if $misaki.intoxicatedLevel gte 9>>Beside you, Misaki rubs against you a bit harder. Then when she doesn't get a reaction from you, she rubs against you a bit harder, nearly spilling what little remains of her drink as she does so.

Realizing that you haven't taken a sip for a little while, you toss back the remnants of your drink. <<else>>Sipping at your drink, you see Misaki do the same right before she reaches for her collar, pulling out her top presumably to cool herself, but the angle at which she does it gives you a nearly perfect view down her top.

A soft snoring sound from beside you is the first real indication that something is amiss. When you look over, it's just in time to see Misaki's empty glass slip from her fingers and fall to the cushion by her side. She must feel the shift of your body when you look at her, because she turns toward you, her arm draping over you and somehow managing to place her hand directly on your crotch as she does so. Misaki mumbles something. From her voice, it's clear that she's trying to be sexy, though you can't make out what she's trying to say. "You awake enough to get to bed?" You ask softly. Her answer is a soft snore accompanied by her trying to roll just a little closer to you in spite of how she's already pressed against your side. <<link "Put her to bed.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingBedSleep>><</link>> <<link "Lay her out on the couch.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingCouchSleep>><</link>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<if not $misaki.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $misaki.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>>

"Fuck me?" Misaki slurs drunkenly beside you. You turn your head to look at her right as she pivots, trying to swing herself into your lap. Only she misses, half missing, half sliding off your lap. Her hands flail at you, trying to gain purchase. At the same time, you try to catch her, but only manage to help control her fall until she lands, kneeling between your legs. Seeming to sense where she's at, she grins, her hands both moving along the inside of your thighs to your crotch where she cups your manhood. For a few seconds, she fumbles with your zipper, then seems to loose her enthusiasm. Unsure of what is happening, you look at her, seeing her eyes closed and her cheek pressed against the inside of your thigh and her nose pressed against the side of your crotch. //Is she smelling me?// You momentarily wonder until you hear the a soft feminine snore from her. <<link "Put her to bed.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingBedSleep>><</link>> <<link "Lay her out on the couch.">><<gotoevent setup.events.MisakiDrinkingCouchSleep>><</link>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<if not $misaki.drinkingRoll(16)>><<run $misaki.intoxicatedAttempt(1)>><</if>>

"Maybe another time," You reply. Misaki pouts, then sighs, "Very well, I'll put these away then." There's a genuine sadness in her voice that makes you want to call out after her, but you resist the urge. Instead, you admire the way she moves as she turns and begins to walk away.

"Not right now," You reply, knowing that you have other things on your mind at the moment. With a little smirk, she retorts, "That's too bad. But perhaps later you'll ravage me instead?" Not waiting for your reply, she turns, her cane leading the way as she begins to walk. It's impossible to miss the fact that her hips seem to sway a bit more than usual as she walks away.

"I think we've both had enough to drink," You say, sitting your glass down then taking hers and doing the same. Misaki's expression is ripe with anticipation as you start to stand, you can see her chest thrust slightly forward, and her knees part invitingly. As you watch, her tongue even darts out to wet her lips. "How about I help you clean up," You add. Disappointment flashes across her features, then her shoulders slump perceptibly. Reluctantly, she sits up , her hands reaching out until they find the little end table in front of her. The next couple of minutes pass in near silence as the two of you put everything away again. When you're done, Misaki excuses herself and leaves, still looking disappointed. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty

"That's enough for me. How about we clean things up and call it a night," You tell her. Misaki's cheerful expression falters for just a second before she recovers, "Let me take the bottle and I'll put it away, if you'd be willing to wash and put away the glasses?" You notice a slight wobble to her as she gets to her feet, but then she seems fine again. "Sure," You say, taking the glass from her hand and heading for the sink to wash the glasses. By the time you're done, Misaki is already gone with the bottle. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty

"Thank you for a good time, but I think I'm done for the night," You tell her. Then you lean in and kiss her lightly on the lips before taking her glass. As you stand, you can see the big grin on Misaki's face, "We should do something like this again some time." Misaki nods, "I'll keep it in mind the next time I wander through the wine cellar," She says lightly. It takes the two of you a few minutes to clean up after yourselves, when the last glass has been dried and put away, you find Misaki standing very close to you. Without even pausing to think about it, you slip an arm around her middle and give her an affectionate squeeze before letting her go. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty

"Looks like you've had enough," You say when you see the way her eyes droop and how she sways in the seat beside you. "Oshhh kaaaaa," Misaki says with a heavy slur before trying to stand. You hae to act quick to keep her from falling. Holding her arm for a moment, you make sure she's steady before letting go again, "You ok?" Misaki grins, "Ish I fall, you ust climb right on, tear mah close off," You can tell that she's trying to be seductive, but her usual allure has been replaced with something far more awkward." "I'll keep that in mind," You jest in return, earning a giggle from her. Not even offering to help clean up, Misaki starts to swing her cane about, seeming to search for her bearings before starting in the general direction of the lounge door.

Realizing that she's completely out, you sit your glass down then ever so carefully pick her up. The contact seems to rouse her slightly and Misaki nuzzles against you, one arm even snaking part way around your shoulder. Her breath is hot on your neck as you start to carry her out of the room, her lips gently brushing against your skin. You take the stairs slowly, not wanting to take a tumble as you carry the unconscious woman to bed. Once there, you awkwardly shift her weight to one arm as you attempt to pull back the covers with the other. When they're pulled far enough out of the way, you half lay, half roll Misaki into the spot then pull the covers over her, tucking her into bed. Misaki makes a happy little sound, then slips her arms around her pillow in something akin to an embrace. "Goodnight," You say softly. Turning back toward the door, you're almost over the threshold when you hear a sleepy, "Goodnight," from behind you. When you glance back toward her, she shows no sign of being awake, so you make your exit and return to the lounge to put things away.

"You out?" You ask softly. Misaki gives no sign that she heard, a soft snoring sound the only response you get. "Guess this means I should tuck you into bed," You say to yourself, but her little murmur accompanied by a faint smile casts doubt on whether or not she really is passed out. Nevertheless, you scoop her up in your arms. She snuggles against your chest, seemingly content on pressing as much of herself against you as possible. Smiling faintly to yourself, you begin to carry her to bed. The whole way you half expect her to come on to you when you lay her down, but to your mild surprise she begins to snore softly, a little feminine sound, as you start to arrange her on the bed. "Goodnight," You say softly. Seeing no response from her, you turn back to the exit of the room and return to the lounge to clean up after yourself.

Realizing that she's out, you slip off the couch, then very carefully arrange her on the couch so she can sleep it off. For a second, you just look at her, noting just how cute she looks when sleeping like this. Then you reach out to carefully brush a stray strand of hair from her face. She might not be awake, but the casual touch is still enough to cause a ghost of a smile on her features that quickly fades to a look of contentment. "Rest well," You say softly before turning and starting to clean up after your little drinking session.

Careful not to wake her, you disentangle yourself from Misaki before gently picking her up and laying her on the couch. She murmurs something drunkenly in her sleep, but you can't make out the words. When you try to adjust her arms into more comfortable positions, one of her hands grasps your arm weakly. You place your other hand over hers, then move her hand off of your arm and back to her side. There's a soft cooing sound that comes from her, but she shows no other signs of waking. Content that she's asleep, you turn to the rest of the room and take a couple of minutes putting everything away.

In front of you, the deer you barely missed hitting doesn't even break stride on its headlong rush across the street where it vanishes into the trees on the other side.

"Anna?" You say, your soft tone causing her eyes to meet yours with curiosity. You let the silence hang in the air for a few brief seconds that seem to stretch forever, "When I was in town, I stopped by the little book store." There's a mixture of wonder and jealousy in her eyes, her eyes flickering to the neatly wrapped bundle in your hands. "When I saw it in the window, it made me think of you," You hold out the bundle to her. You can see her eyes widen, her hands timidly reaching out to accept the gift. As you pull your hands back, her eyes flicker to yours, then return to the still wrapped book, regarding it with a cautious awe. "For me?" Her voice is so soft that you almost miss it, "Yes, it's for you. I hope you like it." Her eyes well up, looking like she could shed a tear at any moment. Then very carefully she begins to unwrap the book, each movement slow and deliberate, like she's scared that the whole bundle might vanish in a puff of smoke at even the simplest of touches. When the fabric finally falls away, the cover is on full display. It's clear from Anna's expression that she's in shock. "Please don't let this be a dream," She whispers breathlessly, the fingertips of one hand drifting lightly over the bright gold lettering on the cover. "The book caught my eye, but when I saw the title, I knew you had to have it," You say softly, "I thought to myself that such a beautiful book deserves to be owned by someone who would treasure it." <<if $anna.affection gte 750 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 600>>A sound bursts from Anna's lips, almost a sob. Then she draws the book close to her chest protectively, cradling it there as she steps toward you. You instinctively put your arms around her, holding her gently. After a few seconds, you feel her slip one arm around you, pinning the book between you until you finally let go of her. She seems reluctant to release you, but when she does her free arm returns to the book to hold it. When her eyes meet yours, she seems suddenly uncertain. "What's wrong? You don't like it?" You ask. "No! I love it!" She quickly blurts, then in a more restrained tone, "What am I supposed to do with it?" "I would suggest reading it," You joke. Anna blushes, a sheepish smile forming on her lips before she replies, "That's not what I meant." "Do whatever you want with it. It's yours," You tell her. Anna takes a deep breath, her eyes turning back to the book as she holds it in her hands as if she's seeing it for the first time again. "Thank you," Her voice is full of emotion as she says the words, "Thank you //so// much." <<set $anna.affection += 100>><<set $anna.fear -= 50>><<set $anna.trust += 25>><<elseif $anna.affection gte 450 and $anna.fear lte 500 and $anna.trust gte 350>>A gentle tremble goes through her, her expression uncertain as she looks at the book. Hesitantly she draws the book close to her chest protectively, cradling it there as she stands stiffly in front of you. "Thank you," She says, a slight waver in her voice, "Do you wish for me to put it in the library?" "It's yours, you can do whatever you want with it. If you want to store it in the library, that's acceptable, or you can put it anywhere else you want so long as it's not left out," You tell her. Anna takes a deep breath, her eyes turning back to the book as she holds it in her hands as if she's seeing it for the first time again.

"T-thank you," She says, but the way she says it leads you to believe that she suspects some form of trap but can't figure out what that trap might be. "Anna, it's yours, you can do whatever you want with it. It's a gift," You try to make your voice soothing, but you aren't sure if you have any real effect. She takes a deep breath, clearly trying to calm herself. When she lets it out, she's standing rigid, her facial expression a carefully guarded mask. "Thank you," Her voice is heavy with forced formality as she speaks, but you can see in her eyes that she wants to flee. <<set $anna.affection += 75>><<set $anna.fear -= 60>><<set $anna.trust += 50>><</if>>"You're welcome" You reply, smiling as you watch her hurry off to put her new book away.

As you walk down the street, you see something that grabs your attention. A necklace in the window of the jewelry store draws you to the window. There, half hidden by a larger display is a simple silver chain with a large pendant hanging from it. Leaning closer to the window, you see that the pendant is a simple silver ring with an immaculately carved interior. The image is of a woman, dressed in a kimono and holding a traditional Japanese umbrella over her head. Beside her is a tree that towers over her, it's pink cherry blossom petals scattering in the wind around the woman. //Makes me think of Mitsuko. I wonder if she'd like something like that? And Christmas is coming.// <<if $money gte 89>>[[Go inside and buy it.|Mitsuko Gift Purchase 1a]] <</if>>[[Continue down the street.|Mitsuko Gift Purchase 1b]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Once inside the store, you get the attention of one of the employees, "I was looking at the necklace in the window, the one with the pendant with the cherry blossoms?" "Oh yeah!" The clerk says, "Old stock, last one, we can give you a great price on it! I think the boss put ninety-nine dollars on it, but I can scratch ten bucks off that if you're interested in buying it right now?" You nod, "I think I'll take it." "Good choice, I'm sure you're going to make someone very happy with it. Special occasion?" "Christmas present," You admit as the clerk wraps the item and takes your money. A minute later, you're stepping out of the store, small jewelry box in hand.

As your eyes drift over the small servant's room, one thing stands out to you. A pristine white book resting precisely on the corner of the dresser, placed closest to Anna's bed. //Almost like it's been put on display. She's pretty proud of that book,// You think to yourself, pleased that the book means so much to her.

Entering the library, you see Anna sitting in a chair, leaning over the table with a large book open before her. As you watch, she turns the page with a sort of reverence, her fingertips tracing over the page for just a moment beofre she starts to read again. Wondering what she's reading, you tilt your head. It only takes you a glance at the white spine of the book to realize it's the travel book you purchased for her.

When you enter the servant's common room, you see anna sitting on the couch, her legs crossed under herself even on the soft cushion. In her lap is the white leatherbound travel book you purchased for her as a gift. //She looks content, almost happy,// You think as she turns the page to continue reading.

While passing through the dining room, you see Gaia near the treeline, moving into the yard while looking around. //She's looking for someone. After so long living away from people, all alone, she seems quite fond of being around us.// Pleased at the progress she has made, it crosses your mind that it could be fun to celebrate, your thoughts immediately turning to celebrating with a drink. [[Get a drink.|Gaia Drinking First Time Continue]] [[Maybe that's not such a good idea.|Gaia Drinking First Time Nope]] Scene Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Hoping that Gaia will remain in the back yard a little longer, you rush off to find a couple of glasses and the first bottle of alcohol you see. Then rushing back through the dining room, you see Gaia still in the yard. "Gaia!" You call out. Immediately, her head swivels toward you, a little smile forming on her lips as she raises her free hand in greeting. Gaia tilts her head, then starts toward you. You meet her half way, aware of her cautious expression as her eyes shift between your face and the bottle in your hand. Sitting down across from Gaia, you sit the two glasses on the lawn between you before popping the cork on the bottle of wine you brought. As you do this, she watches you intently, her eyes never leaving the bottle as you pour a bit of fluid into each of the glasses. "Sit with me," You say, knowing full well she isn't understanding your words. After a few seconds, you pat the grass across from you, "I wanted to share a drink with you," You try again. You aren't sure if she finally figures out that you want her to sit, or if she simply gets tired of standing. Either way, she jabs the top of her spear into the ground then sits cross legged across from you. For a second, you're distracted by the sight of her vulva parting but quickly force your eyes elsewhere before she takes notice. Instead, you pick up the two glasses and hand her one of them. Watching her, she tries to hold the glass awkwardly in both hands, somehow making the simple task look herculean. The intense look of concentration on her face is nearly enough to make you laugh as she looks at the glass in her hands, the sloshing liquid finally starting to settle. Raising your own glass to your lips, you take a sip. Gaia quickly looks at you, watching what you do. Then she raises the glass, sniffing at it's contents before wrinkling her nose and shooting you a skeptical look. You take another little sip, watching her curious eyes as you do so. This time she raises her own glass, pouring it's entire contents into her mouth at once. She makes a strangled choking sound, her eyes widen and her face twists in displeasure. Then with her eyes never leaving yours, she opens her mouth and the wine begins to pour out from between her parted lips like a small waterfall that cascades down her front. As it slows to a trickle, she makes a disgusted sound, "Bleaugh," Then spits several times before contorting her lips as if somehow that will make the taste go away, the disgust in her expression never wavering. The fluid that spilled from her mouth leaves her chin, neck, chest, and belly wet from where it ran down her body, though she makes no move to clean it off of herself. "Eeeuuuugggghhhh," She makes a throaty sound, drops her glass on the lawn, then stands up, taking a step back from you as she does so. Sticking out her tongue, she indicates her dislike of the fluid by plucking her spear from the ground and using it to tip the bottle over on the side where nearly half of it's contents pour out onto the ground before you're able to turn it upright again. "Maybe next time we can try something a little fruitier?" You suggest, watching her as she makes her way back toward the forest edge, never once looking back.

Pausing for a second, you decide that giving Gaia alcohol might not be the best idea you've ever had. //Maybe another time, when I'm feeling a bit more brave.// You think to yourself.

Deciding to do a little fishing, you grab a fishing rod and make sure that everything is ready to go before stepping out of the boat shack. Once outside of the shack, you turn over a large rock and catch a couple of large worms before they have a chance to slither away, then roll the rock back in place. With everything you need for a little casual fishing, you start toward the dock, the soft sound of your feet on the grass turning to the more firm sound of your shoes coming into contact with the wooden dock as you walk towards its end. <<link "Cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

Selecting a fishing rod from the ones present, you rummage about and make sure you have everything you will need to do a little fishing before exiting the little boat house. Once outside again, you glance toward the pond, taking in the gentle ripples on the otherwise still waters as a light breeze passes through the area. You glance at the items you are carrying, making sure you have everything you need one more time before walking toward the dock. <<link "Cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

Your eyes linger on the fishing equipment for several seconds before you make up your mind. But once you've decided, you quickly gather what you will need to do a bit of fishing, then start toward the dock. <<link "Cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

With a flick of your wrist, you cast the line. There's a soft whirring sound from the reel as the line unspools through the air. There is a soft plop as your bait and bobber hit the water. Little rings spread out, slowly dissipating as they grow. <<includeevent setup.events.fishingInserts>>

You draw back your arm, then when you swing it forward, you release the line and watch your cast. The bait and bobber arc through the air before striking the water with a soft plop. As the rings emanate from the point of impact, the bait slowly sinks until it reaches the end of the line and pulls the bobber upright. <<includeevent setup.events.fishingInserts>>

Casting your line, you see it fly through the air until it hits the water well short of where you were aiming. //Oh well,// You think to yourself as you watch the bobber right itself and little rings spread from the place it hit the water. <<includeevent setup.events.fishingInserts>>

Sitting down on the dock you place the rod beside yourself. Though your attention is initially on the bobber, eventually it starts to drift, turning to the view. Occasionally, you'll glance back at the bobber, but mostly you find yourself enjoying the light breeze and watching the occasional bird in the trees across the pond. //Looks like I'm not getting any bites,// You think, reaching for the rod. You slowly wind in the slack in the line, then give it a gentle tug on the off chance a fish might be watching and be coaxed into taking the bait. You repeat the action several times as you wind in the line. When you finally reach the dock, you lift the line from the water. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 32 }>>

You sit at the end of the dock, your feet dangling over the edge as you watch your bobber. It's not long before you see it dip slightly, causing rings to spread from the spot the bobber rests. Reaching for the rod, you turn the reel once, pulling up some of the slack in the line and waiting. Several more minutes pass, and you eventually put the fishing rod back down at your side even though your eyes stubbornly remain on the bobber, hoping whatever bumped your bait will come back. The minutes stretch on without any more activity, eventually you decide you should reel it in and check your bait at the very least. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 23 }>>

Sitting on the dock, there's no sign of activity for a long while. Then, without warning the bobber goes under. With a flurry of excitement, you reach for the fishing pole, give it a firm tug, then start reeling in. You don't have to reel it in far however before you realize there is no struggle at the end of the line. Easing up on your reeling, you bring the line in more slowly until you pull the line from the water. You inspect the bait, realizing that whatever hit it must have let it go for some reason. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 18 }>>

The line is only in the water for about a minute when you see the bobber dip, then take off in one direction. You reach for your pole, giving it a firm tug in an effort to set the hook before starting to reel it in. You can see the bobber darting back and forth in the water as you reel it closer and closer to the dock. As you start to get it close to the dock, you can see an occasional flash of silver as the fish continues to struggle. Once your bobber reaches the pole, you lift lightly, taking hold of the line near the fish as you lift it out of the water in the hopes of preventing it from hurting itself or getting loose. With the fish out of the water, you finally get a decent look at it. It's a small rainbow trout, only a few short inches long, //One hell of a fighter for such a little thing,// You think to yourself. Taking hold of the fish in one hand and gripping the hook with the other, you carefully remove the hook then kneel on the dock so you can reach the water, "You're too small to eat anyway," You say lightly as you lower the fish back into the water and let it swim out of your hand. The fish seems to linger in that spot for a couple of seconds, then darts away. In barely a second, you lose all sight of it. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

You're nearly ready to reel in the line when you see the bobber dip then pop back up. Pausing, your hand inches above the rod, you see the bobber dip a second time, only this time it remains down. Your hand closes around the handle of your fishing pole and you give it a little jerk in the hopes of setting the hook before starting to turn the reel. There's a little struggle at the end of the line, but only enough that you know there's something still hooked at it's end. It's not until you almost have the fish to the dock that it really puts up its fight. Your reel whines in protest as the fish suddenly starts to take line and for a couple of minutes, the fish seems to take line as fast as you can take it in. But it's not long until the fish tires and you finally get it to the dock. Getting your first good look at the fish, a bass, perhaps a bit on the small size still a respectable catch. The fish thrashes as you take hold of it, trying to get the hook loose so you can let it go. You've barely freed it from the hook before it slips from your grip and falls to the water with a splash. You glance over the edge of the dock to make sure it got away safely but it's already vanished into the waters. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

You only have to wait a few minutes before you see the bobber dip twice, then start to move without quite submerging. Reaching to your side, you take hold of the fishing rod and give it a quick little jerk to set the hook before starting to reel in the line. The fish on the other end struggles, fighting as you try to bring it to the dock, but it still doesn't give you any trouble reeling it in. A flash of silver and pink catches your attention, and with that as your guide you're able to see the shape in the water. //Maybe a rainbow trout?// You can see the shape moving in the water, fighting against the line in an effort to escape. The fish's valiant effort is futile however, you have little trouble bringing it to the dock, //That's a big fish,// You think, seeing the fish in the water near the dock. When you go to pull the fish out of the water, you are careful, not wanting to break the line. The fish is just starting to come up out of the water when it thrashes , but you wait for it to pass before trying again. This time you get it up out of the water, //Wow, that's one of the biggest rainbow trout I've ever seen. It's as long as my arm and is pretty heavy.// "I have no idea how you got so big in a pond like this," You say to the fish as you lay it down on the dock, "Just let me get the hook out of your mouth and I'll get you back in the water so I can catch you again some day." The rainbow trout grows still when you go to unhook it, the hook slipping free with ease, "See, that wasn't so bad," You say as much to yourself as the fish. You're just reaching for the fish in an effort to get it back into the water when it starts flopping around the dock, flipping over a couple of times before reaching the edge of the dock and splashing into the water. The spray hits you, getting you a little bit wet. You lean over the dock, looking into the water. The large trout is down near the bottom of where you can see, looking toward you. It remains like that for a few seconds, then turns. With a flap of its tail it vanishes into the pond. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 15 }>>

Your line sits in the water for a long time, //Not even a nibble. Maybe I should reel it in and try casting to a different spot.// Putting actions to your thoughts, you begin to reel the line in. Almost instantly you feel a drag on the line, //That's odd, maybe it's a fish?// Slow but steady, you reel in the line, always with that light drag on the line. When it comes into view you suddenly understand what happened. On the end of the line you can see a small branch that you somehow hooked, //Probably explains why I didn't get any bites either.// Once you have it reeled in all the way, you lift the branch from the water and untangle it. Then rather than risk ever accidentally catching it again, you throw the branch toward the treeline just to get rid of it. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 19 }>>

You barely even notice the time as you enjoy the sounds of nature around you, everything from birds singing, to the sound of the wind moving through the trees. It's only when a small gust of wind tugs at you that you look at the bobber in the water. Realizing that it's drifted quite a ways from where it started, you start to reel in some of the slack in the line. Then when you get ready to set the rod down, you change your mind and reel it in the rest of the way. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 34 }>>

After a few minutes, you see the bobber dip a couple of times, but never quite fully submerge. Then the bobber begins to move across the the water's surface. //Looks like I got one.// Picking up the poll, you give it a little tug then start to reel it in. You can feel whatever you have on the line fighting, but it feels like a token effort at best. When you get the fish close to the dock, you get a glimpse of it, seeing that the lack of fight has more to do with the size than anything else. //It's tiny.// Once you reel the line in all the way, you lift the fish out of the water. It wiggles on the line with an amazing amount of energy before you're able to catch it in your hand to still it //Looks like a tiny trout,// You think as you look at the fish that is nearly completely engulfed in your hand. Being careful, you work the hook free, then lower your hand into the water and let the trout swim away from you, vanishing into the plants at the bottom of the pond not far away. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 34 }>>

You see the bobber dip, your instinctive reaction being to reach for the pole at your side. Taking hold of it you wait, watching for the bobber to move again. The rings in the water have nearly faded completely when the bobber dips again only to pop right back to the surface. It's not until the third time it dips that it stays down. That time you give the pole a jerk and start to reel. The whole time you can feel the fish on the other end, struggling to escape. For several minutes, you fight the fish, trying to bring it to shore. Unfortunately, about half way to the dock, the line becomes suddenly slack, the bobber returning to the surface. You reel it in the rest of the way, but even before you finish pulling the line in you know that the fish has gotten away. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 22 }>>

A few quiet minutes pass before you see the bobber suddenly dip. You reach for the fishing pole and give it a quick jerk to set the hook before starting to reel in whatever is on the other end of the line. Whenever the fish struggles hard, you just hold the pole and let it wear itself out, then whenever it grows mostly still, you reel in a bit more of the line. Bit by bit you bring the fish toward shore until you can see fleeting glimpses of it in the water. //Looks like it might be a trout.// Now that you have the fish near the dock, you take your time, bringing it up slowly until you are able to lift it up out of the water. It's not a big fish, fairly average in size really. You only take a few seconds to admire it before carefully removing the hook and returning it to the water. <<link "Try another cast.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingPond>><</link>> <<link "Put things away.">><<gotoevent setup.events.fishingEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 12 }>>

Each step you take emits the crisp sound of your shoes striking the wooden dock until you reach the sandy shore and angle your way toward the boat shack. Once you're inside of the building, it only takes you a couple of minutes to put everything away. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You're just sitting down at the forest edge when Anna starts to approach. You can tell from her body language that she's uncertain, even a little skittish. //I wonder what's bothering her?// You wonder to yourself, knowing that she rarely behaves that way around you anymore. <<talk "anna">>I was wondering, maybe Gaia would,<</talk>>\ She trails off for a moment before she continues, her voice more certain. <<talk "anna">>I thought me being here might help since she doesn't seem as scared of girls.<</talk>>\ With a faint smile, she holds out an apple in her hands. Patting the ground near yourself, Anna moves to sit at your side, smoothing her skirts as she settles into place. It's not long before you hear a soft rustling of bushes, then Anna suddenly stiffens when she spots the dark skinned woman slip from the underbrush, spear in hand as she circles the two of you so that she places Anna between you and herself. Anna nearly fumbles the apple she brought as she tries to hold it out to Gaia <<talk "anna">>I-I brought you an apple.<</talk>>\ Gaia's eyes move from Anna, to the apple, then to you. Without breaking eye contact with you, she inches foward, as she does so Anna stretches the apple subtly closer to the ebony woman. Then with blinding speed, Gaia's spear flashes forward, spearing the apple and withdrawing in the blink of an eye. Anna lets out a startled scream that causes Gaia to jump backward, her eyes wide with fear as she scurries further away. Meanwhile, Anna scrambles toward you, positioning herself behind you for the perceived safety. There's confusion in Gaia's eyes, clearly torn between worry and outright panic. She does however end her slow retreat and with her eyes mostly on Anna, she starts to inch her way forward again. Stopping further away than she had come before, she plucks the apple fron the tip of her spear, looks at the apple then back at Anna again. Then with a casual movement, she tosses the apple toward Anna, watching it bounce then roll across the ground until it nearly reaches Anna. Gaia's eyes flicker between Anna and the apple again, then she turns and darts back into the safety of the forest. <<talk "player">>Are you alright?<</talk>>\ You ask Anna, slipping an arm around her in order to give her a gentle hug. <<talk "anna">>That was,<</talk>>\ There's a long pause as Anna lets you hold her, then she leans back and looks you directly in the eye. <<talk "anna">>That was utterly terrifying.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I think you scared her almost as much as she scared you.<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you skeptically, but doesn't say a word. Sitting the apples you brought to the treeline where they will be easy to find if Gaia returns, you start to walk back toward the mansion with Anna at your side. You've nearly reached the mansion again when you see a flicker of movement in the dining room. Beside you, Anna clearly notices as well. <<talk "anna">>Excuse me, I think Eve is trying to get into the cookies again.<</talk>>\ Then somehow looking both gracefull and not rushed, Anna darts off toward the mansion ahead of you.

As you step outside to take a breath of fresh air, you catch sight of Eve sneaking up behind Yami. //What is she up to?// Catching sight of you, she motions for you to be quiet and then pulls a large water balloon from behind her back. //Oh no.// [[Call out.|Submitted Yami and Eve Scene 1a]] [[Say nothing.| Submitted Yami and Eve Scene 1b]] [[Leave.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

"Yami, watch out!" Yami turns at the sound of your voice just in time to get hit in the side of the head by the overfilled water balloon. Water cascades down her face, soaking her shirt and pants. As Eve giggles triumphantly, Yami locks eyes with you, her expression shifting rapidly from shock to embarrassment at having been caught off-guard to indignation. Settling on anger, Yami rounds on Eve and advances towards her. //Oh shit.// [[Go to|Submitted Yami and Eve Scene 1c]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

//I want no part in this.// You sigh as Eve advances with catlike tread and raises the water balloon over her head. //If Eve wants to play with fire, she's going to get burned.// With a wicked grin, Eve hurls it at Yami who wheels around and slashes it with her sword. The overfilled balloon ruptures on impact, the water -- at least, you hope it's water striking Yami square in the face and spattering her top and trousers with the ensuing deluge. //Too bad she's not wearing white.// Clutching at her head, Yami staggers and then towards Eve her posture limp and feral. //Oh shit.// [[Continue.|Submitted Yami and Eve Scene 1c]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Eve's triumphant grin evaporates immediately, replaced by an expression of terror. As Yami advances towards her, her fingers tightly clenching the hilt of her sword, the smaller girl begins to cry and points at you, clearly feeding Yami a highly-embellished sob story about you putting her up to it. //Oh shit.// Feral rage blazing in her eyes, Yami turns her murderous gaze towards you. //Oh shit!// You back away as Yami slowly advances across the lawn, her teeth bared in a savage grin. Sticking her tongue out at you, Eve books it down the trail into the forest. Reaching for the door handle, you realize it's locked. //Oh shit!// "Y-Yami I don't know what Eve told you, but whatever it is, I didn't-" "//Yurusenai!//" Yami points at you with her sword, strands of drool stringing between her teeth as she snarls. "Wash your neck and repent with your blood, heretic!" "Yami!" You evade as she lunges, kicking off the wall and landing to block off your escape around to the front of the house. //Dammit!// "Let's talk-" "//Urusai!// Yami's sword cuts the air a hair's-breadth from your face. "The time for words has passed" She laughs, maniacal and menacing. "O Umbral Wyrm, accept my humble sacrament!" //Fuck my life and every duck in existence! She really means to kill me!// Turning, you run towards the forest, glancing over your shoulder and expecting to see her right on your ass. Instead, she's staring after you. //What, she's giving me a head start? She's hunting me?// Clearly deciding she's given you enough of a head-start, Yami begins advancing towards you with her bloodthirsty grin on full display, singing a chant in whatever alien tongue comprises her prayers. //Shed! Need to make it to the shed! Hide in there!// You turn and dash down the trail towards the lake, but panic robs you of your stamina and you have to stop for breath. You can hear Yami's singing growing closer and then it stops. The utter silence is deafening, crushing. Not even the birds and insects are singing, and the usually warm sunlight feels ice-cold. //Fuck! Where is she?// There's a sound from above you and you glance up to see a silhouette staring down at you from the branches of the tree, a shadow in the darkness. Dropping from her perch, Yami lands behind you and tackles you to the ground. "Caught you" She hisses into your ear, a feral smile on her face as she presses yours into the dirt. //She's not going to eat me, is she?// Legitimately terrified as she grabs you by the ankles and begins dragging you down the trail, you desperately claw at the ground and struggle to break free. "Yami! Come on! Let's be reasonable here!" Her only response is to grin maniacally at you. //OK, reason's out to lunch// "Mercy?" "Sorry, fresh out of mercy." The ground beneath you turns to sand and you realize you've reached the beach. Hefting you over her shoulders, Yami carries you down the dock as though you were a sack of flour. "Time for you to sleep with the fishes." Before you can respond, Yami hurls you out over the dark water of the pond. Your scream is cut off as the water closes over your head, and you pop back up coughing and sputtering. Smirking down at you, Yami cracks her neck and then leans down with her hands on her knees. "Did you really think I was going to kill you, boss?" She laughs, "Had you going for a moment, didn't I?" "Uh" You sputter out a fake laugh. "Yeah, you're hilarious. Now help me out before I catch-" "Nooo!!!" Eve lets out a melodramatic scream, running down the length of the dock before dropping to her knees and pretend-sobbing. "You sacrificed him to the volcano god! He was so young!" Yami cocks an eyebrow and then chuckles. "Knowing him, the volcano god's gonna be sick with indigestion." Grinning wickedly, Yami wheels around and grabs Eve. "A little maiden like yourself, however..." A dark blur bursts from the bushes and streaks across the beach, slamming into Yami like a linebacker. Eve plops to the dock with a stunned expression as Yami and her assailant grapple with each other in mid-air, their impact with the water sending up a huge plume. Gaia surfaces first, doggy-paddling towards the shore. Pulling yourself onto the dock, you watch as she pulls herself onto the beach, scrambling away from the shoreline with muddy water dripping from her body and shaking off like a dog. A few seconds later Yami's head emerges breaks the surface, and you realize she's walking along the bottom like the villain in a 1980s slasher movie. As they face off and circle each other, you glance down at Eve, who is sitting on the edge with her feet in the water. "Shouldn't we stop them?" //Not sure how, though.// Eve turns to look up at you with, a solemn expression on her face. "The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control, and not the other way around." [[Let them fight.|Yami and Eve Scene 1d]] [[Intervene.|Yami and Eve Scene 1e]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

For a moment, Yami seems taken aback even flustered by Gaia's nudity, but she quickly regains her composure and raises her sword into a fighting stance. Gaia sinks low almost into a crouch, brandishing her spear and hissing. They circle around each other, each trying to block the other's access to the dock or rather, to Eve. "//Dare ka na, kisama?//" Yami snarls, aiming her sword at Gaia. "Who are you?!" Gaia's only response is a low moan than builds into a shriek as she lunges, stabbing at Yami's face. Yami moves her head slightly and Gaia's spear shoots past, barely missing her cheek. Before Gaia can recover, Yami drops her sword and grabs her spear with both hands. They grapple, straining against each other with the spear between them, but Yami twists it violently and wrenches it free from Gaia's grasp. Just as you think she's going to impale Gaia with it, she tosses the spear aside and then tackles Gaia as she lunges after it. They roll across the beach in a tangle of limbs, clawing and hitting and snarling at each other. Eve tugs on your sleeve and you turn to glance down at her as she frowns up at you quizzically. Before you can ask her what it is, she points at Yami and Gaia. "Maybe they'll have sex?" "I doubt it." You frown as you see they've come to a stop. Yami is straddling Gaia's waist and pinning her arms; Gaia flailing with her legs and bucking her hips in an attempt to unseat Yami, who simply presses down harder. "Actually it kinda does look like sex." //Really rough, angry hate-sex.// "Lewd!" Eve calls out, giggling as Yami jolts as though remembering the girl beneath her is naked and leaps off her. Panting, Gaia scrambles to her feet and glances around for her spear. Yami takes the opportunity to retrieve her sword from where she'd dropped it, and the two face off with their weapons raised once more. As they charge towards each other, you grimace. //Alright, this has to stop before someone gets killed.// Running down the dock and onto the beach towards them, you cup your hands to your mouth. "Gaia! Yami! Stop!" [[Continue.|Yami and Eve Scene 1f]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

"Yeah, no. I'm not letting them fight. They'll kill each other." You jog down the dock and onto the beach, stopping short of where the two of them are facing off. "//Dare ka na, kisama?//" Yami snaps, reaching for her sword as she eyes Gaia's spear. As Gaia hisses wordlessly in response, Yami draws her wooden sword and raises it in a stance, pointing it at Gaia. "//Dare ka na?//" She's clearly struggling to retain composure, gritting her teeth as a bloodthirsty grin flickers across her face. Gaia's gaze flickers between Yami, you, and Eve as she tries to circle around to position herself between Yami and the dock. Baring her teeth, she hisses; Yami snarling in response with her own teeth bared. "You're not the only one with a feral side, girl! Now answer the damn question before I cut mine loose! //Dare ka na?!// Who are you?!" "Yami, stand down!" You shout, skidding to a stop on the beach just shy of them. Yami snarls, circling in an effort to keep herself between you and Gaia. Eve watches from the dock, cheering Gaia on like it's nothing more than a friendly sporting competition. //Dammit, Eve! Stop egging them on!// Throwing caution to the wind, you throw yourself between them just as Yami lunges, bracing yourself. Hissing angrily, Yami stops just short of braining you with her wooden sword, then grabs you and roughly shoves you behind herself. "Like //jigoku// I will! Stay out of my way, //baka//, or you'll get-" Taking advantage of the distraction, Gaia lunges with her spear and stabs at Yami's abdomen, but Yami parries the attack with her sword and then follows up with a two-handed overhead swing. "//Shinne//!" Gaia raises her spear to block, catching Yami's stroke. The two strain against each other, but Yami lets out what can only be described as a roar. Gaia flinches, and in that instant Yami delivers a second overhead strike that knocks Gaia on her ass. As Gaia scrambles to her feet, Yami lunges to deliver a finishing blow, and you cringe. [[Continue.|Yami and Eve Scene 1f]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>>

The two stand, frozen the edge of Yami's wooden blade pressed against the side of Gaia's neck, and the tip of Gaia's spear poking at Yami's throat. They lock eyes, panting and growling and then Eve screams. The three of you turn as one to see a large dark shape climbing out of the lake onto the dock and shaking itself off. //What the fuck is that!// Shrieking in terror, Eve falls flat on her ass as the hulking shape huffs and growls, focusing its attention on her. //A bear?! What the actual fuck is a bear doing here?! How... did it climb a tree to get over the wall or something?!// Roaring, the bear lumbers towards Eve on all fours as the girl scrambles backwards along the dock, swiping at her as she rolls over to run. Its claws graze the back of her skirt, narrowly missing her backside. When she hits the beach, she stumbles and face-plants in the sand; curling up into a tiny, whimpering ball. "Eve! //Kakete!//" Yami shouts, streaking past you. To your surprise, Gaia is running alongside her towards the mountain of fur, her focus locked on Eve. Noticing them, the bear snorts and bellows, the timber of the dock creaking under its mass. As Gaia grabs Eve and drags her away from the bear, Yami stands between them and the bear, her teeth bared in a feral grin. "Umbral Wyrm, I offer unto thee this-" The rest of her prayer is drowned out by the bear's roar as it charges, Yami standing her ground and roaring right back, her expression one of gleeful bloodlust. //Shit! She's going to get herself killed!// You run over to where Gaia is huddled protectively over Eve. "It's OK! I've got her! Go help Yami!" There's no way Gaia understands what you're saying, but you gesticulate between her spear and the bear. <<if $gaia.affection gte 700>>As you come to a stop next to her and Eve, Gaia stands back and watches as you gently lift Eve into your arms. Eve whimpers and huddles against you, and you note the concern in Gaia's gaze as she looks down at the smaller girl. "Thanks for saving her, Gaia." You keep your tone warm and smile at her. Gaia smiles back at you, then at Eve, then turns to face the bear with an angry growl. Hefting her spear, Gaia charges towards the bear, her growl building into a scream of anger. <<elseif $gaia.affection gte 400>>Gaia shies away from you, though you can't tell if it's aversion to your presence, to grant you access to Eve, or some combination thereof. Eyeing her spear warily, you crouch down and lift Eve into your arms. Gaia growls softly, then steps away, staring into your eyes as though promising to make you suffer should any harm come to the smaller girl. Then she turns and charges towards the bear, waving her spear over her head as she does so. <<else>>Gaia recoils instinctively, terror in her eyes, then hisses at you and raises her spear to point it at your chest. You come to a stop and scowl at her as she growls. Before she can attack you, Eve scrambles towards you and throws her arms around you, sobbing into your chest as she clings tightly to you. Gaia makes an effort to grab her away from you, but Eve refuses to let go and Gaia stops short of touching you. Her grip tightens on her spear as she stares at you, her breaths intensifying until she's practically panting. "Gaia I'm not going to hurt her" You whisper, keeping your voice low and soothing. In the corner of your eye you can see Yami's suicidal assault on the bear. //She's not even doing anything to it!// Gaia doesn't trust you further than she could throw well, she could probably throw you a fair distance, but she can't attack you without risking harm to Eve. "Please go help Yami." You point towards the bear just as it backhands Yami, sending her sprawling. As the bear turns towards you, clearly marking you and Eve as easy prey, Gaia growls and turns to face it, raising her spear. <</if>>Laughing wildly, Yami picks herself up and hurls herself back into the fray. //How can she still move? A blow like that should've shattered half her ribs!// Her maniacal expression of exhilaration and bloodlust makes you shudder and you hold Eve even closer. //Maybe she really// is //a monster...// Fighting side-by-side, Yami and Gaia circle around the bear, slashing and stabbing at it. Of the two weapons, Gaia's spear is most-effective: all Yami's wooden sword seems capable of doing is annoying the bear. Bloodied from Gaia's stabs, the bear focuses all of its attention on her and lets out an enraged bellow, rearing up to its full height over eight feet tall on its hind legs. Gaia scrambles back, but the bear moves with alarming speed for something its size. A single swipe sends the spear flying and knocks her to the ground. As the bear drops back down to all fours, roaring as it lurches towards her, Yami protectively stands over the top of Gaia, roaring right back. The bear's massive paw catches Yami across the chest, its claws ripping her top to shreds and sending her flying. Snorting, the bear turns just in time for Gaia to grab Yami's fallen sword and slam it down on its nose. As the bear recoils and paws at its bloodied snout, Gaia scrambles towards her spear. Grunting and snarling, the bear barrels towards her again like a furry freight train. //She won't make it in time!// Snarling, Yami tackles Gaia out of the way, holding the wild girl's spear, which she stabs right into the bear's open mouth and down its throat. Picking herself up, Gaia stares at Yami holding her spear as though she can't believe what she's seeing, then lets out a scream of outrage. Yami turns to face her, grinning, but Gaia books it into the underbrush.

Before Yami can take more than three steps after her, you stand up or at least you try to: Eve is still clinging to you with her face buried in your shirt. "Yami, stop! Gaia's not a threat!" "Not a threat?!" Yami turns her head incrementally to look at you from the corner of one eye. "Not a- Wait, you know her?!" Yami turns to look at you with incredulous accusation. "You knew there was a psychotic naked girl in the forest and you never told me?!" Snarling, Yami rips Gaia's spear free of the bear's throat with a grotesque squelch, tossing it aside. "Is there anything or anyone else I should know about, boss?" Her words are terse and she's obviously seething. "No." You back away from her in case she rounds on you, but she seems more intent on examining the bear.

Circling the dead bear, Yami walks over to where her sword had fallen and picks it up. "Gaia, was it?" She turns and looks in the direction the wild girl disappeared, a grin flickering across her face. "She might make a worthy opponent," Seemingly unconcerned with her being all-but naked from the waist-up, Yami picks up the shredded remains of her top and uses it to wipe the blood off of her sword, shooting you a stern look. "I expect a full explanation as to who she is... and why she's naked." "Are you OK?" From how hard the bear struck her, you'd expect to see broken bones and lacerations, but all you can see are red marks where the claws must have just grazed her. Given her usual fixation on modesty, Yami being unperturbed by her shredded clothes strikes you as unusual. //Weird. Normally she'd be yelling at me for staring at her...// Yami turns to look at you tilting her head as she frowns. There's no anger or embarrassment despite her chest being all-but fully-exposed, just indifference. "I'm fine. Something as weak as a bear wouldn't be able to kill me, even with you and Eve holding me back." Yami smirks at you and then walks over to Eve, looking down at her. "Are you alright, Eve?" "Y-yes" Eve looks up at Yami with a mix of awe and fear, Yami for a moment looking pained by this response before masking it under a stoic facade. "Good. You should take Eve back to the manor, boss." Yami turns and looks at the bear's corpse with a sinister chuckle, a predatory smile breaking through the mask. "I'll be a while..." //I'm probably better off not knowing what she means by that...// Picking Eve up, you make your way to the mouth of the trail and glance back to where Yami is gathering dry wood from the forest surrounding the beach.

You watch Yami go, hot on the heels of Gaia. But you're more concerned about Eve right now, "You're ok?" You ask. "Yeah," She says, her concerned expression turning from the woods where the other two women vanished, to the bear on the ground. "Maybe we should head back to the mansion?" You offer, slipping an arm around her. "I like that idea," Eve's voice somehow sounds tired as the two of you begin to walk. Both of you are silent until you reach the back yard of the estate, at which point Eve asks, "You think they'll be ok? They won't hurt each other?" You sigh, considering your answer before replying, "I think Gaia will try to avoid a fight if she can. And she knows the woods better than anyone. I think Gaia will dissappear into the woods and the biggest worry we will have is how long it takes for Yami to find her way back to the mansion." Eve nods, but doesn't comment. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 15 }>>

You've barely entered the area when Eve's giggle demands your attention. When you turn toward the sound, you see Eve, wearing a tattered old jacket and gloves running through the unblemished snow on the ground. Standing a short distance off, Anna can be seen dressed similarly, looking content as she watches her sister. [[Play with Eve.|Anna and Eve Grounds Interactive Scene 1a]] [[Join Anna.|Anna and Eve Grounds Interactive Scene 1b]] [[Watch them from where you are.|Anna and Eve Grounds Interactive Scene 1c]] [[Demand they get back to work.|Anna and Eve Grounds Interactive Scene 1e]] [[Leave.|Anna and Eve Grounds Interactive Scene 1d]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Smiling to yourself at the sight, you reach down and scoop up a handful of snow, pack it into a snowball, then throw it at Eve. You miss by so far that she doesn't even see it. Anna on the other hand looks surprised, then looks around until she spots you. There's a bit of uncertainty in Anna's expression, like she's not sure of how she should react. She ends up raising her hand in a little wave before turning her attention partially back to her sister. You pick up another fist full of snow. Anna's attention shifts to you as she watches you make another snowball and throw it at her sister. This time, her gaze follows the snowball's arc. <<if random(1,4) is 1>>The second snowball hits her right on the shoulder. She stops right where she's standing, the pause lasting for a full second before twirling toward her sister. Anna's eyes widen in surprise as Eve picks up a hand full of snow and throws it at her. Eve misses, and it's not until Anna looks frantically toward you that Eve notices that you're there. By now you've scooped up another snowball and thrown it at her. This time she deftly dodges to the side, easily avoiding the projectile. <<else>>The second snowball falls short of Eve, but comes much closer then the first. You see Eve freeze in place, looking first at the place the snowball struck, then turning toward her sister. When she sees her sister looking somewhere other than at her, she follows her sister's gaze to you. "Missed me!" She declares loudly, there's a white puff at her mouth as her breath freezes in the cold. <</if>>Scooping up her own snowball, she hurls it back at you with a happy laugh. The next twenty minutes are a bustle of activity. Each of you scooping and throwing snowballs as you race about the yard. The whole time, Anna stands out of the way, watching the display with a small smile on her lips. Quite a while later, things finally die down. Breathing heavily from the earlier exertion, you excuse yourself and start to leave. Behind you, Anna and Eve start heading back to the mansion.

You're almost to Anna's side before the soft crunch of snow beneath your heel catches her attention. <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 150>>Stepping close to her, you slip an arm around her middle in an affectionate half hug. Anna leans into you, her head coming to rest against your shoulder. The moment stretches on, a comfortable silence as both of you watch Eve at play. When Eve notices you with Anna, her face blossoms into a toothy grin just a second before she throws herself onto her back, her arms and legs fanning out around her as she begins to make a snow angel. A little while later, you feel Anna shiver against your side, "Maybe everyone should head inside and warm up." "Ok," Anna says softly, then stands a little straighter as her head leaves your shoulder, "Eve, time to go back inside." "Awwww, just a little longer?" Eve replies, then before anyone can reply she quickly adds, "Ok." You walk with them, one arm still around Anna's middle while Eve seems to bounce around the two of you with an unnatural energy.

You're just watching Eve make a snow angel when you finally turn your eyes back to Anna, "I should get back to what I was doing. Don't stay out too long." You've barely taken a dozen paces from her side before you hear her call out to her sister, "Eve, time to go back inside." "Awwww, just a little longer?" Eve replies.

You try to ignore her unease and just talk with her. It takes a few minutes, but she seems to relax in your presence after a little while. The two of you converse about nothing important and after a bit you run out of things to talk about.

For a few minutes, you watch Eve playing in the snow. Both her and Anna oblivious to your presence. //They look happy.// You reflect. It's not until you start to turn away that Eve notices you. She stops long enough to wave toward you, a gesture that you instinctively return. Eve's action seems to make Anna aware that they aren't alone in the yard. She turns toward you, a look of surprise on her face. Waving at her as well, she returns the wave. Then, not wanting to interrupt their time more than you already have, you begin walking away.

You seat yourself in between Anna and Eve as they make room for you. Casually, you ask the girls if they are enjoying the pool. The conversation eventually turns to idle banter, Anna and Eve chatting about the day's chores, the beautiful weather, Eve's studying, the places they'd love to visit and Anna's favorite books. The conversation finally quiets down after a while, looking to your right you see Anna staring into the sky, while Eve is staring at the pool to your left. Fascinated by the sparkling water. Looking at your companions, an idea comes to mind. [[Suggest having a barbecue with the girls.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1c]] [[Leave and let the girls enjoy their reprieve.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1d]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 20 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

You look to Anna and consider how your uncle treated these girls up until his passing, they were not allowed the childhood most children grew up with. Anna looks back at you inquisitively, searching your eyes for a response as you look blankly at her. Opening her mouth as if to say something, you finally come to a conclusion and speak up, startling her. “The weather is nice this time of the year, it’d be a shame to let it go to waste, don’t you think?” You turn your head towards the sky. “It is, isn’t it.” Anna responds. “I think we should have a barbecue, I think Eve would love it and it’d give us the chance to enjoy the beautiful weather.” You look to Anna, wondering if she will agree to the idea. “A barbecue, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?” Anna stares at you, surprised by your suggestion. “Yes, we can grill up burgers and hotdogs and sit by the pool while we eat them. It’d be like our own little pool party!” Excitement in your voice rising. Pool parties were a thing of everyone’s childhood, to be robbed of such an event should be considered criminal. Eve perks up at the mention of a pool party. “Did you say a pool party <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?!” She looks at you with big, round puppy eyes. A huge smile on her face, pushing herself as close to you as possible. Looking to Eve you respond. “Of course, the weather doesn’t look like it’ll change anytime soon so I say we should enjoy it as much as we can.” Eve jumps on you, hugging you. “Thank you so much <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>! Thank you, thank you!” Eve repeatedly thanks you. You finally manage to pry Eve off of you after several minutes, after watching her race towards the Mansion, you stand up and turn towards Anna. Extending your hand towards her you say. “So, what do you say Anna, it’ll be fun. Just us three, sitting out in the sun while enjoying a nice barbecue dinner.” After several moments of hesitation, Anna looks up at you. “The weather is beautiful and it would be a waste…” She reaches her hand up and you grasp it, gently pulling her up. Steadying her, you assure her. “It’ll be fun Anna, I promise.” “Of course <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I shall go assist Eve in preparing the utensils.” You watch as Anna scurries off back into the mansion to help Eve prepare. “I suppose I should go look for the grill, if my uncle even has one. I really hope he does have one or Eve will be disappointed.” You shudder at the mental image of Eve’s sad face and make your way towards the shed. Reaching the shed, you hesitate a moment before pushing open the wooden doors. You peer into the shed as the creaky doors come to rest against the walls, looking among the tools stored here for a grill. You spot something against the back wall, an object covered in old tarp and years of dust. Walking over to the tarp, you pray to lady luck the grill you seek is underneath the tarp and grasping it, you fling the tarp off. Dust and grime scattering everywhere, you cover your mouth, coughing. Looking down, you see what was underneath the tarp. [[Continue.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1aa]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

“Oh, thank you lady luck.” With a fatigued sigh, you slump your body against the old grill. By the looks of it, it’s an older model. You remember the girls are waiting for you outside, getting off the grill you grab hold of the left arm and drag it outside. The old wheels squeaky along the way, you hear someone approaching you from behind, turning around you spot Anna making her way over to you. Anna standing in front of you, looking at the grill, “We’ve finished setting the table <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, is that the grill?” baffled, she stares at you. “It is, it’s old but let’s hope it still works.” You respond. Nodding, Anna moves out of the way to let you pass. You manage to drag it the rest of the way through the backyard and set it up near the pool, you lift the cover, you notice the grates for grilling food are covered in soot and dust. You’re about to run into the mansion to grab a wet cloth when a tap on your shoulder startles you. “The grates need to be cleaned before we can use it, it’ll only take a second <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.” Anna stands in front of you with a wet cloth, waiting for you to move out of the way. You gently take her hand and remove the wet cloth. “It’s fine Anna, I’ll clean it. It was my idea after all. Can you make sure the ingredients for dinner are ready, we’ll have hotdogs and burgers” You turn towards the messy grates, reaching down to wash them. “I’ll be back in a moment <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>” Anna runs off to collect the necessary ingredients. You notice Eve sitting on the side of the pool, humming to herself, excited. You can’t help but smile at her enthusiasm. Focusing on your current task, it takes a few moments of hard scrubbing, but you manage to get all the dust and soot off the grates. Placing the grate back, setting aside the dirtied wet cloth, you kneel down and find the valve on the propane tank, you turn the valve one full turn counter-clockwise. You find the burner control that is closest to the ignition switch and set it to High. Pressing the ignition switch one or two times, the burner finally ignites after a few seconds. You breathe a sigh of relief, at least it works and the propane tank still has some gas left in it. A few minutes later Anna returns with a basket of beef, a package of hotdogs, and vegetables. “Here you go <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, I managed to find some meat and vegetables for us to grill. I’ll go let Eve know it’ll be a few minutes before it’s ready.” You reach out and grab the basket from Anna and set it down on one of the closed side burners. “Thank you, Anna.” She nods. Over your shoulder you see her walk over to where Eve is sitting. Opening the basket, you take out a package of beef and a spatula she set aside. “Oh, Anna has already rolled the beef into patties. I’ll have to thank her later.” You take out three patties and place them on the steel grate and close the lid. After three minutes go by, you lift the cover, and flip the patties over. The sizzling of the meat making your mouth water, closing the lid, you take a peek over at Anna and Eve. You notice they are talking amongst each other again, sitting by the pool. Anna giggling, Eve grinning. You almost don’t notice the patties burning on the grill, opening the cover, you immediately flip the patties. You check them to make sure they are cooked, noticing a one or two may be a bit burnt. You call Anna over. You see her grab a plate and walk over to you. [[Continue.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1ab]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 34 }>>

“Oh, the hamburgers look good <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I’ll take them over to the table now, excuse me.” Anna nods her head as she holds the plate out to you, waiting for you. You use the spatula and place the hamburgers on the plate. She excuses herself. You grab the package of hotdogs out of the basket and open it, placing six hotdogs on the grill, you wait a few seconds before turning the hotdogs over. Repeating the process every few seconds for 3 minutes. With the hotdogs done, you switch the burners off, kneel down and turn the valve on the propane tank clockwise once. Standing up, you make your way over to the table, you notice three plates have been laid out for each one of you, and several smaller empty plates, most likely for the vegetables. You notice a plate of mashed potatoes and a plate containing a few slices of pineapple. You grab one of the empty plates and walk back to the grill. You place the hotdogs on the plate and grab the basket, you call over to the girls. “The hotdogs are ready, it’s time to eat!” You lay the plate of hotdogs in an open space on the table, you grab the vegetables and sort them among the plates. Carrots on one plate, celery on another, until all the empty plates are full of vegetables. Eve comes running over first with Anna trailing behind her, she stops short of the chair opposite yours, waiting for you to seat yourself. Seating yourself, Eve follows suit. Anna goes to dish out the mashed potatoes but you tell her it’s fine, she nods and pulls the chair out, sitting down she reaches over for the plate of carrots. Sliding a few onto her plate, Eve on the other hand has three hotdogs in one bun, she grabs a condiment and lathers the hotdogs in it. You can’t help but chuckle. Anna lectures her on proper etiquette. “Eve! That’s too much, you’ll make a mess all over yourself.” Letting out a sigh, Anna returns to her own food. A simple hamburger with a few vegetables are what make up her plate. You return to your own food, making a simple hamburger with a few condiments, and several vegetables on your plate. You spend the next few minutes enjoying your meal, Eve chomps down on her triple hotdog, sending bits of hotdog and condiment flying everywhere. The sun is drifting toward the horizon when the three of you finish your meal, pushing yourself away from the table you get up. Excusing yourself, you leave the table cleanup to the girls. You walk over to the grill and grab the cloth from earlier. You wipe down the grates and close the cover. Pushing the grill, you move it back into the shed against the far wall. You fling the tarp back over it, letting it settle you exit the shed. Closing the doors behind you.

You walk up to the girls seated by the poolside and look at Anna. “Glad to see you girls are having fun, but isn’t there still work around the mansion that still needs doing?” You ask. Anna looks up “Oh <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, the weather was nice today, it was getting hot out and Eve had asked to take a break to cool off.” [[Spend a little more time with the girls.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1e]] [[Leave them to their reprieve.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene Grounds 1f]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You decide to hang out with the girls for a while longer, you’re about to get up when a wicked idea comes to mind. You move your body closer to the pool, carefully as to not alarm the girls. You reach your hand out into the water, cupping it, you call out to Anna who looks at you. Your hand moves and you splash her with water. Surprising her, she falls back. To your left Eve bursts out laughing, Anna props herself on her elbows. Pouting, she berates you. “What was that for <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?” “You said the weather was hot outside, so I thought I’d cool you down.” For a moment you think you made a mistake, but you see the side of her mouth twitch, trying to suppress a smile. You’re about to move towards her when you feel something splash your back, you turn to face Eve who has her arm in the pool, cupping the water. Behind you, Anna lets out a giggle. For the next hour, the three of you play around, chasing each other and splashing one another with water, they eventually gang up on you. Laughing and having fun, both Eve and Anna smiling the whole time. You wish the three of you could stay like this forever but soon the sun will set and chores still need to be done. Before Eve can splash you again, you throw your hands in the air, your shirt and pants completely drenched in water. “I give up, the both of you won.” Both Anna and Eve look to each other, giggling, Eve speaks up. “We got you good didn’t we <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.” A smug grin on her face. You let your arms fall to your sides and approach the girls. Your eyes wander to Anna, her clothes soaking wet, you see her blush as she notices you staring at her. “That was, surprisingly fun, thank you <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.” Anna attempts to smooth out her outfit. “Come Eve, we need to change, and our chores still need to be done.” Grabbing Eve’s hand, Anna makes her way back inside the mansion. //Well that was fun, we should do that again.// You think to yourself.

You look to the girls, both Anna and Eve sitting at the poolside. “Okay, that’s fair, it is quite hot out today. Make sure to take care of yourselves Anna, Eve. I’ll be inside the mansion if you need me.” You nod to the girls and head back to the mansion.

"What do you girls think you're doing? You have chores to take care of!" You allow a bit of heat into your voice. "Sorry," Anna says as she gets up. Eve mumbles a similar apology, glances at her sister, then hurries off, presumably to return to her chores. Anna gives you a little bow, then follows in her sister's wake. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

"You guys enjoy yourselves for a little while, but make sure to get all your chores done too," You say lightly. Eve lets out a little 'Awe' of disappointment, and Anna nods in understanding. Casting one last glance at the content looking girls, you return your attention to other matters.

The moon is full, bathing everything in a pale light that’s almost majestic. You smile as you pull of your shirt, intent on a quick swim. You freeze, your shirt clutched in your hands, when you see a pale figure standing on the edge of the deep end. You recognize it as Anna by the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair trailing down her back, but otherwise her skin is bare. You see her clothing off to one side, folded neatly. You don’t think she’s noticed you, as she dives into the deep end with a soft splash. Anna kicks her long legs and starts swimming around the perimeter of the pool. [[Leave her be.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1a]] [[Say hi.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1b]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<movenpc "anna" "pool">>

You decide that your swim can wait for another night. You slip your shirt back on and turn back for the dining room. [[End.|$location]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

You gulp once, taken aback by how striking Anna is in the moon's glow. On her second lap you see Anna stop, brushing a lock of hair aside to look directly at you. Her eyes widen in surprise and you see her cheeks flush. “...Hi.” You croak, slowly approaching the pool. You can see her naked breasts above the water line, and you try not to stare. “<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>! I--” You see her start floating over towards the ladder. “No. Sorry. Don’t let me interrupt. I was... just going to take a quick dip. Couldn’t sleep.” You say quickly, crouching down near the edge. “I can leave if you wish.” Anna says quickly. “Anna. This pool is huge. It’s certainly big enough for two people.” You assure her, moving to sit at the edge. You begin to remove your shoes and socks, tossing your shirt towards the tables. Anna nods, backing away from the ladder hesitantly. You notice Anna’s eyes staring at you as you undo your pants. She averts her eyes when she sees you look back at her, a faint blush in her cheeks. Once you’re stripped down, you walk down the shallow steps into the pool. You shiver as you feel the cool liquid embrace you. [[Ask Anna about her clothes.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1ba]] [[Ask Anna about swimming.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1bb]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

“Can I ask you something?” You idly start floating in the shallow end. “Of course.” Anna lazily paddles in the middle of the pool. “Do you not have any swimwear? Or do you like skinny dipping?” Anna’s face turns red once more, instinctively covering her chest with an arm. “I-I’m sorry if I’ve offended--” “No! No, I’m not offended. You’re gorgeous. I’ve no problem with you being naked as long as you are okay with it.” You assure her. “I’m just curious.” Anna nods, but hesitates to lower her arm. You start drifting closer, kicking your legs idly. “The truth is... I have very little clothing. Your uncle only ever gave me the dress and underwear...and the nightgown I guess. There are other things he made me wear, but those...aren’t very comfortable. Most of them hurt quite a bit.” Anna says softly, shivering at the words. //This explains why I always see her in that one dress.// “I-if you wish me to wear them…” Anna trails off, but you can tell from the grimace on her features she doesn’t like the idea. “No, that’s fine. I think we should look at getting you more clothes, though. You and Eve both.” You definitely see her eyes light up when you say that. “Would we... go shopping? At a store?” Anna asks, her tone curious. “We could.” You contemplate her question a moment as you see something glimmer in her eyes. //Wait a minute... // “Anna... have you been outside the mansion since you got here?” You see Anna shrink a little, shoulders hunching together. “Your Uncle never let us off the grounds...I tried once, with Eve. I...I never tried again…” You match Anna’s shudder, feeling a knot in your stomach in sympathy. You don’t want to imagine what your Uncle did to the girls for trying to escape. //God... I just want to hold her and tell her everything will be fine... // “I’m... very sorry.” You clear your throat. “But yeah. We can go shopping. We could make a day of it. We eat breakfast, go out shopping... get lunch at a deli... . Maybe go to a park or even more shopping... maybe catch dinner... . Oh! We could get a pizza!” You laugh thinking of Eve dealing with a gooey, cheesy pizza slice. You swear you see a faint smile spread across Anna’s face, though you think it might be a trick of the moonlight. “I’d like that. I... .” You see her hesitate for a moment. “I’ve been liking a lot of things... recently.” [[Ask about other things.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1c]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

“I didn’t know you liked swimming.” You say casually, idly floating in the shallow end. Anna nods slowly, lazily paddling towards the middle. “I didn’t do it a lot... before. Your uncle... He caught me swimming late one night. He... held my head under the water as he... he took me.” You see her shudder and look away. //Holy hell//. You can’t help but feel a pang of sorrow. You find yourself drifting closer to Anna, just out of arm's reach. “That’s awful.” You say. Anna looks back at you, shame prevalent on her features. “I... I do like swimming though. I like the weightless feeling.” Anna states, looking at her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> locks floating near her shoulders. “That’s good. I’ve no issue you using the pool whenever you want.” You assure her. You try not to stare at her chest, the moonlight glinting provocatively off her glistening skin. “I’d like that. I...” You see her hesitate for a moment. “I’ve been liking a lot of things…. recently.” [[Ask about other things.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1c]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

“Oh? Do tell.” You can’t help but grin. You are quite surprised by her forwardness; a definite change from when you first met her. “I... I like how you treat my sister and I.” Her words are hesitant. “Like we’re people.” “I mean... you are. Despite what my uncle may have thought.” You assure her. You become aware of Anna’s proximity abruptly, easily within reach of you. //When did she get that close? // “I like... I like being less scared.” You tilt your head curiously. “Less? I... Anna. Have I done something? Have I done something to scare you somehow?” Her head turns away from yours as she floats to one side, one hand grasping the side of the pool. You follow, curious of her answer. “I... I don’t know. Your uncle used to play with me... play these games...” Anna sinks lower in the water, her hair splaying around her like some strange <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> octopus. “He’d act nice like you... say nice things like you do... th-then he’d do painful things. He’d kick me so hard I’d cough up blood then... then violate me, calling me awful names. He’d touch my shoulders gently... but then slap me hard enough t-to mess up my jaw... so I couldn’t close my mouth....” She trails off, staring down into the water. “But I haven’t done anything like that....” “Not yet.” Her voice is tiny and reserved. [[Prove to her otherwise.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1d]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You frown in disappointment. “Anna...” Her gaze remains on her floating hair. You reach a hand out and gently touch her chin. Anna stiffens at the contact, and you can see her reflexively shrink away as you drift next to her. You can feel her breasts brush against you under the water as you lean in, pressing her lips to yours. You feel her tense up, eyes widening as you gently kiss her. After a moment you pull away. One of Anna’s hands reach up, brushing against where your lips once were. “Did my uncle ever kiss you?” You ask, staring into her eyes. Anna slowly shakes her head, pressing her back against the pools side. “I’m not like him.” You grasp the hand against her lips and pull it to yours. You can faintly taste the chlorine from the pool water. “Intimacy... isn’t about domination. It isn’t about pain.” You plant a series of kisses along her wrist and elbow, floating gently to the side of her as your other hand caresses Anna’s shoulders. You see her staring at you, and you can tell her breath is quickening. “It’s about... faith. Trust. Opening yourself because you want to, not because it’s demanded.” Anna comes away from the wall as you move to her bicep and shoulder. “You say such nice things... but I-I’m still scared.” Anna murmurs as you slip behind her completely, running soft kisses along her neck. You gently pull her hair to one side and nip at her earlobe, eliciting a gasp from Anna. “I understand.” You press your palm against her cheek, turning her head so you can kiss her lips once more. This time she seems to melt back against you, her own hand pressing against the back of your neck. You can feel her back touching your chest. You pull away slightly, looking into Anna’s half-lidded <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes. “If you want me to stop... just say so. I will stop.” You murmur, then kick your legs until your feet touch the bottom of the pool, the water chest high now. Anna looks at you quizzically, still floating against the side. “Do you want to keep going?” You ask her, arms floating at your side. “I-if you wish, Master--” You shake your head vehemently. You see the moonlight reflect off her curious gaze and pale features... you find her breathtaking like this. “No. It’s not master or slave. That was my uncle. You are a woman, I’m a man. Right here, in this pool. It’s not about what I want... it’s about what you want. If you want to stop, that’s fine. I’ll smile and go back to bed. No pain. No punishment.” //Plenty of blue balls though//.... You wonder if Anna can see your erection under the water.... “If you want me to continue... I will be gentle. If you decide at any point you want to stop, I’ll respect that. You have to choose; not me.” Her eyes seem to wander for a moment, her fingers pressing against where your lips had been with hers.... <<if $anna.affection gte 700 and $anna.trust gte 800>>You see Anna hesitate, a strange look in her eyes. You can sense a subtle change in her posture, less tense and more empowered... she kicks her feet and swims closer to you until she is eye level, her pale breasts floating gently in the water. You reach your arms around her and draw her into your embrace, feeling her hard nipples press against your chest. Anna rests her chin on your shoulder and murmurs softly into your ear. “Please... don’t let this be a game,<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. Don’t play with me,” Anna begs. You pull back enough to look into her pale features, then draw a palm to her cheek. You see her flinch, but then relax as you gently rub your thumb across her cheekbone. “No games, Anna.” You press your lips to hers again, and feel pleased when she presses back, her hands gliding through the water to touch your waist. You run your hands down her shoulders as your tongue probes at her lips. Anna hesitates, but slowly lets it in, running her own around yours with a soft moan. One hand traces her collar bone with light strokes, sending a small shiver through Anna. You trail further down until you brush against her pink nipple, eliciting a gasp. You cup her breasts in your hands, squeezing gently. Anna moans, breaking away from your lips reluctantly. Anna rests her hands on your shoulders as you knead her slick mounds, mesmerized by your hands. “You are so beautiful.” You whisper, taking her pert nipples between your fingers and squeezing gently. Anna gasps again, her nails digging into your shoulders. You watch her generous breasts float for a moment before gripping them again and moving them in a slow circle through the water. “Tell me if it hurts.” Her gaze snaps to your eyes, her breathing starting to become heavy. Anna gasps as you squeeze again. You raise one out of the water and lean down, taking the nipple into your mouth. Again you taste the chlorine of the pool mixed with her sweet skin. You flick your tongue against it, causing Anna to shiver, then nip gently. Anna moans, her hands moving to your head as you continue your ministrations. “...So gentle...” She moans, softly clutching your hair. You tug her pink bud with your teeth, eliciting a sharp gasp before you move to her other breast, repeating the process. You finally release Anna’s chest, moving back to her lips with a deep kiss. She eagerly accepts you, hands pressing against your chest as her tongue dances with yours. Her hips thrust against you, pressing your erection between your bodies under the water. You pull back slightly, her lips remaining puckered for a moment. Her eyes are half closed, cheeks and chest flushed in arousal. “<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....” She breathes. You brush a lock of hair from her face.... [[Touch her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1ea]] [[Kiss her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1eb]] [[Take her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1ec]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 8 }>><<else>>You see Anna hesitate, fear in her eyes. Her gaze flickers to you, then back down, gently shaking her head. “I-I'm....” Anna trails off in a whisper, tensing as if expecting a strike. Seeing her reluctance, even if she isn't able to voice it, you reply, “That’s fine.” You make sure your tone is soft and reassuring. Anna seems surprised when you walk out of the pools shallow end. You collect your clothes and turn back to her, still smiling. “Enjoy your swim, Anna. I’ll see you in the morning.” She nods but remains silent, watching you walk away. You look down at your raging erection and sigh. The cool night air does little to suppress its rigidity. //Going to have to deal with that....// [[End.|$location]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<set $anna.trust += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><</if>>

You kiss her again, your hands running down her back to grip her firm cheeks. Anna grinds her hip against your erection, eliciting a moan of your own. You move one hand across her hip to the fuzzy mound above her slit and run a finger through the wet fuzz. Anna whimpers when your fingers press against her nub, breaking your kiss. You feel her hips buck against your digits as you rub gently, short gasps coming from Anna’s lips. You leave your thumb moving gently against her clitoris as your fingers reach down, pressing against her nether lips. Anna groans when you push a single finger inside her hot pussy. You catch her mouth with yours for a deep kiss as you curl it inside to run along her inner walls, feeling her shudder. You hear Anna mutter something unintelligible as you run your thumb against her clit. Feeling how damp Anna is, you easily slip a second finger inside. She gasps, throwing her head back with a deep, lewd moan. You gently start thrusting with your fingers, eliciting a whimper of need from Anna when you begin to withdraw. Her hips start thrusting in time with your fingers, her head sagging forward against yours as Anna loses herself in the moment. “Yessss....” Anna’s fingers trace your jawline, her breasts swaying with the motions of her hips. You smile and move your head, catching one of her fingers with your mouth. You run your tongue over her digit as you look into her wide <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes, sucking on it briefly. You feel her tighten, flushing with arousal as you release it from your lips. Anna puts the same hand to her lips, running the finger along her tongue as she looks at you. She surges forward, devouring your lips with hers and thrusting her tongue against yours as her hips start thrusting harder and faster against your fingers. “So... close... yes....” Anna murmurs in between kisses. You feel her positively gushing in the cooled pool water. You dare to slip a third finger into one final thrust, pressing hard against her clitoris with your thumb. You feel her convulse and gush around your fingers with a high-pitched squeal. Anna’s cry is long and drawn out, and when it ends she slumps against you, breathing hard. As you remove your fingers, you feel her hand gently take your wrist. You let Anna pull it from the water and to her lips, where she begins sensuously licking your fingers, eyes staring into yours as she softly suckles your pointer finger. //Wow. She is... wow.// [[Kiss her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1eb]] [[Take her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 1ec]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $AnnaSex to true>>

You kiss her again, your hands gripping her waist. With deliberate movement you pull Anna near the side of the pool.... You pull away from her lips, drawing a whimper from Anna. You lightly kiss her neck before nipping gently along her collarbone. She watches with curious eyes as you place a kiss on the top of each breast, then Anna squeaks as she feels the side of the pool against her back. “Perfect.” You slide your hands down and grasp her cheeks firmly. She squeaks when you lift, raising her waist high out of the water. Anna clutches your shoulders, momentarily confused until you plant soft kisses along her taut stomach. Your hands slip under her legs as you pull back until Anna’s bottom half is floating on the surface of the pool, her arms on the edge of the pool holding her upper half slightly out of the water. “What are--” Anna’s question ends in a strangled gasp when you spread her legs, running your tongue along the small, wet bush on her crotch. You look up at her, a smile on your face before running your tongue along her wet slit, causing a shudder through her body, Her legs move idly to your shoulders as you use your fingers to spread her lips, revealing her pink folds. You hear her short gasps as you put your tongue to work, delving inside with long, deliberate movements that causes Anna to tremble. You move your mouth to her clitoris, flicking it once with your tongue. You hear her whimper and gaze upward between the valley of Anna’s breasts, seeing her staring back at you with one hand on her cheek, idly sucking at her pinky. You smile and renew your tongue lashing, reveling in the lewd gasps coming from Anna. “<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>... I-I’m....” You press your lips against her nub and hum into it as Anna speaks. Her voice ends in a high pitched squeal as she convulses against you, her legs squeezing your head suddenly. You feel her juices flow and simply continue humming.... Her legs loosen, and you give her moist slit one final kiss before pulling away. Anna slides fully back in the pool, leaning against the side as her chest heaves. You wrap your arms around her and give her a soft kiss. You see her eyes widen when she realizes your lips are covered by her juice.... Anna responds by leaning close and running her tongue sensuously over your lips before kissing you. //Wow.... // “I bet my Uncle never did that.” You whisper. Anna shakes her head vigorously, sending ripples in the water as her hair moves.

You put your arms around Anna, drawing her close for another kiss before suddenly turning her. You grasp her cheek as she presses her back against you, turning her head to kiss it once again. As her tongue swirls against yours, you move your hands down to her chest once more, squeezing her supple mounds firmly. Anna groans, her own hands on top of yours as you continue to massage her ample flesh. Her hand stays locked against yours as you move it down her belly to her thigh, feeling the warmth of her skin and the cool water intermingle. You shift slightly to her side, breaking your kiss as you grasp one of Anna’s legs with your free hand and lift. She gasps in surprise suddenly on her tip toe as you lift her leg past your shoulder. Anna leans against your arm cradling her back and looks at you quizzically.... Anna moans as you rub the head of your erection against her slit, looking down her smooth stomach at it with crimson cheeks. She puts one arm around your shoulders to balance herself, breathing heavily. “Are you ready?” You whisper, pulling her into a brief kiss. Anna is speechless... but nods, eyes transfixed on your cock pressing against her. Anna lets slip a long moan as you push into her slowly, the cold water giving way to her blazing pussy. You savor the angle, pushing deeper until feel her crotch touch yours. Anna traces one hand down, watching you enter her with lewd fascination. She whimpers when you start to pull back... only to thrust forward. “So... deep....” She moans as you start thrusting with long, deep strokes. You rest her leg on your shoulder, impressed with her flexibility, and start pulling on her hips with each thrust. Short gasps meet each thrust, her free hand grabbing her breast and squeezing, her breasts rolling gently in the water with your movements. You can feel her starting to tighten around your cock as you thrust, a tremble beginning to run through her after a few long minutes. You move your hand from her hips to her nub, rubbing it in quick strokes as you keep thrusting. “I-I’m--!” You feel her back arch against your arm, pussy clenching as her waist convulses. You watch her eyes roll upward as Anna stops... then slumps against you, coming down from her bliss with deep breaths. You turn her gently, moving her leg until she’s facing you, still buried inside her and throbbing with desire. You hold her close as Anna wraps her legs around your waist loosely, clinging to your neck.

Anna’s eyes flicker from your face to your groin, still deep within her. “May I?” You ask, her hot breath on your cheek. Your breath catches as you see uncertainty flicker across her vision. Her grip around your neck is limp, her legs around your waist loose. Were it not for the water you both are immersed in you’re sure Anna would be laying on the ground, unable to walk. //Please say yes....// The suspense is killing you... it takes all your self control not to start thrusting, so close to release. You are overjoyed when Anna leans in and kisses your lips voraciously, before pulling back and nodding. You grip her waist and start thrusting once more. Anna gasps become ragged as she clings to you, fingers digging into your shoulders as her nipples slip and slide against your chest. Anna’s own movements are more subdued than before, her legs crossed behind your back to brace herself. Your hands pull her into each thrust, causing tiny waves in the water around you. As you thrust you feel her sweltering pussy start to clench again. You start moving faster as Anna leans back, her mouth slightly agape and pink tongue peeking across her lips mid moan. “Again... g-going--” You silence Anna with a kiss, her tongue eagerly accepting yours as she tightens around your cock and convulses. You thrust one final time and groan into her hot lips as you feel your release. You sit on the steps in the shallow end of the pool and lean back, Anna on top of you as you try to catch your breath. You grin as you feel her limp form breathe against you, her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair streaming over and sticking to you as her hot breath blows against your cheek. “Are you okay?” You whisper, brushing a lock from her forehead. Anna nods faintly, her entire body flush. “That... was different.” Anna breathes, one of her fingers idly rubbing your chest. “B-but in a good way.” “That’s reassuring.” You chuckle. You rest an arm around Anna’s shoulders and feel her head press against yours. Despite the cool night air you feel warm for the moment and savor it. “I... I don’t think I’ve... you know... that many times and felt so... good after.” She murmurs, a deep blush in her cheeks. “I hope you’re not scared of me anymore....” You bite your tongue immediately after the words leave your mouth. You curse inwardly as you feel her tense against you, her hand frozen on your chest. Anna turns her head away, the silence between you stretching out uncomfortably. It’s broken when you feel her start to sob against you. “Anna....” “I’m sorry.” She cries, burying her face in your shoulder. “I’m sorry, Master. It’s still there. You’re nothing but kind and gentle and... and it’s still there. I’m here with you, but I close my eyes a-and I see him. I remember him playing with me.... And I’m still so scared you are too. Even more now because I felt so good.... I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” You wrap your arms around her as Anna’s words degenerate into sobs. You run your hand gently through her wet hair. “It’s fine, Anna. It’s fine.” You whisper into her ear. “It was dumb of me to think one lovely night might make up for so much pain. I’m sorry.” Anna shifts off of your body, laying next to you on the steps in the cool water. She sniffles and wipes her eyes before looking at you, shame still prevalent in her features. “I... understand if you... you’re disappointed in me.” Anna sits up, hugging her knees to her chest. “I’m not. I swear I’m not, Anna.” You sit up and put an arm around her shoulders. She remains silent, her hair covering her face like a curtain. You try to find the right words... but none come to mind. You sit there with her for a few minutes, starting to feel the chill of the night. Anna eventually pulls away from you, standing fully. She retrieves her clothes in silence, clutching them to her chest as she turns to you. “Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I... I liked... what you did.” You see her blushing faintly as she turns and walks away. You sigh. //Two steps forward... one step back....// [[End.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $AnnaSex to true>>

Pool area

You look out over the gentle hills bathed in the full moonlight, bright enough to illuminate everything in its white radiance. The sight fills you with wonder as you look up at the cloudless sky, stars twinkling overhead on a blanket of midnight velvet. //We didn’t get nights like this in the city....// You sigh with contentment, then tilt your head. You spy a figure at the base of one of the gentle hills. //Maybe Eve? Anna?// You walk towards the figure, scrunching your eyes. As you draw closer, you can make out pale skin and a plain white dress. When you see the shimmer of <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair you recognize it as Anna, sitting in the grass. You see her looking at a book in her lap, then to the star filled sky with a pointed finger. As you draw closer, you see her notice you and quickly close the book. Anna clutches it to her chest as she scrambles to her feet, a neutral expression on her face. "Hi, Anna." You smile as you stop in front of her. "Beautiful night." "Yes, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." You see her catch herself before she calls you Master. "What are you up to out here?" You keep your tone light, peeking at the book she’s clutching. "N-nothing...." She stutters, a crimson blush creeping across her cheeks. [[Enquire further.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 2a]] [[Let her be.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 2b]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 1 }>><<movenpc "anna" "backyard">>

"Come on. You can tell me." You watch her hesitate for a moment, her features bathed in moonlight. Anna unfurls her arms around the book so you can see the title, "Constellations" in bold letters across its grey binding. "I-I borrowed this from the library. I was going to put it back!" She said quickly, cringing as if expecting you to strike her. "Oh! You were trying to find the constellations?" You smile softly, looking upward briefly. You watch her relax slightly, nodding. "Show me." You drop down onto the grass, laying back against the hill. Anna looks confused for a moment, but slowly takes a seat next to you. You smile as you look up at her, admiring how her skin glints and her hair shimmers against the sky. Anna points out each constellation she finds, showing you its corresponding picture in the book. Her form starts out rigid and seated, but as Anna continues you notice her shoulders loosen, her posture slacken. She reaches over you to point out one on your right, almost sideswiping your head with her chest. You can’t help but laugh when she pulls back, her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Finally she lays back in the grass, staring up into the sky. You watch her for a moment, her eyes flickering to you nervously. You wonder why until you peer down and see your hand and Anna’s clasped together. "It’s a beautiful night tonight. I remember...." You grin, giving Anna’s hand a reassuring squeeze as she looks at you with those <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes. "I remember this one time when I was young. My parents and I went camping. I remember being excited because I wanted to see a bear." You chuckle at the memory. You see the tiniest hints of a smile curl into the corners of Anna’s mouth. "It took hours to set the tents up. By the time we did it was already dark, and I remember looking up at the sky while my parents were trying to figure out a fire. The stars were so clear, so bright. A lot like tonight, actually." You sigh, glancing back up to the sparkling scene above you. You turn your head back to Anna when you hear her sniffle. You can see her lip trembling as a tear glistens in the light. "I’m sorry Anna! Did... did I--?" Your words are halted when she pushes herself on top of you, burying her face in your chest as her arms press against your ribs. The book falls beside you, forgotten in her movements. Bewildered, you’re unsure what to do with your hands. "J-just do it." You hear her stutter against you. "Do what? I don’t understand." You end up resting your hands on her shoulders as Anna trembles against you. "H-hurt me. I-I can’t do this anymore... please...." [[Ask for an explanation.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 2aa]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

"Hurt you? Anna.... I don’t ever--why would you ask me to do that?" You can’t hide the horror in your voice. Anna drags her head up to look at you, her eyes pained as tears creep down her cheeks "I c-can’t play this game... it hurts so much. I kn-know you’re going to h-hurt me like...." You see her eyes shut tightly as she trembles, her voice thick with emotion. "Like he did. I c-can’t stand it." "Anna... I don’t understand. I told you I didn’t want to hurt you or Eve and I meant it." You grasp her shoulders firmly, feeling them tense as you pull her face to face with you. Her hair falls around you like a curtain and you feel one of her tears drop onto your cheek. "P-please... stop p-playing with me. I can’t feel so good, so happy w-with you... when I know y-you’re going to hurt me." Anna starts to sob, her hot breath tickling your skin as her hands grip your shirt. "Y-you c-can’t be this nice, this s-sweet and be related to h-him... so please, j-just get it over w-with. Y-you win. I g-give up." You feel her chest mashed against yours as she turns her head away. //God.... My uncle shattered this poor girl....// You stare at her, speechless as Anna convulses against you. You debate on what to do with her with a sigh, unsure on how to handle this. //Fuck it....// You place your hands gently on Anna’s wet cheeks. You can feel her shrink as you gently turn her gaze back to yours, eyes clenched tightly as if expecting something violent. Her eyes shoot open when you place a gentle kiss on her lips. Anna stares down into your eyes after you break the kiss, <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs full of confusion as you caress her cheeks with your thumbs. "I'm related to him, but I'm //not// him, Anna. I don't ever want to hurt such a pretty girl like you." You murmur softly. You watch her cheeks blush in response, her hands loosening their grip on your shirt. "I'm not playing any game, Anna. I promise you I'm not. I care about you and Eve. I keep saying it, but I don't know what to do to prove it to you." You sigh in exasperation. You see Anna tilt her head at you, her eyes bleary from tears as she searches for something in your face for a few long moments. You watch her lower her head quickly, hesitating mere millimeters from your face before pressing a timid kiss to your lips. Anna backs up after a moment, gauging your reaction. You simply give her a soft smile and give her a quick peck to her cheek, your hands sliding down to her pale shoulders. "How can I trust you?" Anna whispers, her eyes still wary. [[Hold her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 2ab]] [[Kiss her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene Grounds 2ac]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"I don't know what else I can do or say, Anna. I can be here for you, at least." You wrap your arms around her shoulders, drawing her into a warm embrace. Anna curls up against you, resting her head on your chest as her arms press against your sides in the cool grass. You savor her warmth against you in the chill night air. You don't know how long you two stay like that, but all too soon you feel Anna pull away. She sits next to you, retrieving the fallen book and wiping her tear stained cheeks. "Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I should get ready for bed." Anna stands slowly, grass stains on her knees and legs. You nod to her, then watch her walk back towards the mansion.

You sit up slowly, your hands taking her arms as she follows. She tucks her legs under her as you get to your knees to face her. "Maybe... if I do things he never did?" You smile softly, pressing another tender kiss to Anna’s lips. You feel her hesitancy loosen as she presses back against you, her hands moving to your shoulders. As you pull back you can see her eyes half closed and watch her pink tongue run across her lips. "He never kissed you, right?" You grin as you feel Anna’s warm breath tickle your lips. "No...." Her tone is breathy and soft. "Do you like it when I kiss you?" You ask, tilting your head curiously at her. "Yes." She sighs, running her soft lips against yours not quite in a kiss, but just savoring the contact. "Did he touch you like this?" You caress her cheek gently with your palm, her skin warm and soft against yours. You’re delighted when you see her lean into your touch, eyes closed as she sighs again in pleasure. "No.... You’re much softer, gentler...." She presses her lips into your palm as she opens her eyes, staring at you. "Do you like it when I do this?" You bring your other hand to her other cheek and mimic your caress. "Yes." She sighs happily, her hands dropping to her sides. "Let’s start there." You give her another gentle kiss and feel elated when Anna presses back against you, her lips moving hesitantly against yours. You wrap your arms around her waist, drawing her closer until you feel her chest brush against yours. Slowly you feel her hesitancy fade, giving way to pleasant sounds like gasps and sighs. Her hands clutch your head, pulling you tighter against her lips. You feel her tongue press slowly against your lips, almost questioningly. You receive it with your own and hear Anna moan slowly as hers dances over yours. You lose track of time as you continue making out, your hands roaming over her shoulders as Anna’s touch your neck and face. You feel her pull away with a gasp, her breath heavy for a moment as she looks at you with flushed cheeks. "Can I ask you something?" Her tone is meek and sheepish. "Of course." You catch your own breath. "W-when you kiss me...." You see her hesitate, blushing fiercely. "Is there a name for when you use your tongue like we just did?" You find the embarrassed curiosity in her tone adorable. "Uh, yeah. There’s a lot of names for it, but a really common one is French kissing or even a deep kiss." You smile, sitting back down. Anna curls up on your lap, her arms around your neck as she looks at you. She rests her head against yours with a sigh, her eyes half closed. "I like it. I like both kisses." Anna murmurs softly. You smile and wrap your arms Anna’s waist, savoring her warmth against you. You sit there holding Anna against you for some time in silence, Anna’s eyes avoiding yours. "I’m sorry, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." Her words are barely above a whisper. Were you any further apart, you’re sure you would’ve missed them. "For what, Anna?" "For being scared. For not being able to trust you. I want to, I swear I do...." Anna gives you a soft kiss to your cheek. "But everything he did...." You feel her start to tremble in your arms, halting her words. "I don’t want to be hurt like that again." You sigh softly, gently caressing her side. "Someday you’ll know I won’t, Anna." You turn your head to face her, giving her forehead a soft kiss. "In the meantime, I can hold you like this any time you want." Anna remains silent, curling up tightly against you in affirmation. You’re unsure how long you two sit there holding each other, but eventually she loosens her grip around you. "We should get back inside before it gets too late." Anna reluctantly uncurls herself from you, standing up. She retrieves the fallen book as you stand, then turns to you. "Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." She bows gently, then starts off back towards the mansion. You linger at the base of the hill, watching her walk out of sight. //Someday...// [[Continue.|$location]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 25 }>> <<set $anna.affection += 2>><<set $anna.trust += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>

"Okay. Just don’t stay out too late." You smile at her before turning back towards the mansion, leaving her with a slightly confused expression in the moonlight. [[Continue.|$location]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

As you walk around in the yard, you spot Eve, cutting the grass in the hot sun. Damp spots have formed on the back of her dress and her body is slumped onto the steering wheel of the lawnmower. [[Pour water on her|Submitted Eve Interactive Yard 1a]] [[Get her some water|Submitted Eve Interactive Yard 1b]] [[Move along|Submitted Eve Interactive Yard 1c]] Submitted by Mathias.

//This is her job, she is used to it.// You stand there looking at the hardworking Eve for another few minutes before leaving her alone. [[Continue|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Submitted by Mathias

You stand there wondering how to cool Eve down. After thinking for a bit about how to do it, you remember that there is a bucket in the shed. //That could work.// You think while walking towards the shed. When you arrive in the shed, you grab the bucket and fill it with water. With the heavy bucket now filled with water, you walk out to the garden again. To make sure that Eve does not see the bucket, you place it behind a bush. “Eve!” You call out, she looks towards you and waves. Now that you have gotten her attention, you signal to her, that she should come over to you. Eve turns the lawnmower around and drives it towards you. When she reaches you, she jumps off the lawnmower. “Do you need my help?” Eve asks. You look at her and say, “Just stand there for two seconds.” Eve looks confused, but nods and stands still. “Look over there.” You say, trying to distract Eve. When she notices that there is nothing where you pointed, she turns around, but you have already grabbed the bucket and you are standing ready to pour the water on her. Just as she sees the bucket, you thrust it forwards spraying water all over her body. Drenched, Eve shrieks and runs towards you, trying to hug you with her wet body. You try dodging her, but she manages to grab you and smears her body all over you, leaving you wet as well. After getting you wet, Eve lets you go and walks back to the lawnmower, her dress sticking to her body more than it did before.

Seeing the hardworking Eve makes a thought appears in your mind. //She looks like, she could use something to drink.// Looking at her once more, you decide to get her some water. When you reach the kitchen, you walk towards the fridge and get a bottle of water. With the cold water in your hand, you walk back outside to Eve. She notices you the moment you walk out the door and waves, seeing the smile on her face makes you wave back. Slowly approaching her, you wave to her to signal that she should come. Eve drives the lawnmower over to you, you throw the water to her. While wiping the sweat off her forehead, she opens the bottle and drinks half of the water in one gulp. After drinking the rest of the water, she tosses the bottle back to you and drives off.

You've barely entered the clearing near the pond when there's a rustling in the bushes behind you. For just a split second, you expect to see Gaia exit the woods behind you, but you're surprised instead to see Eve burst from the underbrush. As soon as she locks eyes with you, a sheepish grin forms on her lips. <<talk "player">>You probably shouldn't be out here alone.<</talk>>\ You scold lightly. <<talk "eve">>But I'm not out here alone, I'm out here with you.<</talk>>\ A coy smile forms on her lips, mischief touching her eyes.

But when you don't relent, she slumps slightly, mutters something in resignation, then turns toward the trail leading back to the mansion. You watch her go for a moment, then turn your attention back to the pond. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 2>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

A little smile tugs at the corner of your lips, Eve's eyes sparkling as she realizes she's already won this argument. <<talk "player">>I suppose you're right.<</talk>>\ Eve beams at your words, triumph in her eyes as she nearly skips to your side. She pauses right beside you, looking up at you, then reaching over to take your hand. <<talk "eve">>Couples go to romantic and secluded places on dates.<</talk>>\ Eve says simply, as if the casualness of her tone can somehow take away from the gravity of her comment. <<talk "player">>So, you stalk me out here so you can have a date?<</talk>>\ You feel a twinge of amusement. Eve's sharp contrast between sage wisdom and unblemished innocence on full display. <<talk "eve">>Yeah.<</talk>>\ There's a long pause that follows. <<talk "eve">>But it doesn't feel any different than any other time I'm with you. Does that mean we're doing it wrong?<</talk>>\ You spend a moment considering your words before replying. <<talk "player">>I think that you're missing the point.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes are sharp, clearly hanging on your every word. <<talk "player">>A date is about creating memories, creating shared experiences that bring you together.

She must sense your thoughts because she stands on her tip toes and kisses you. You only have to lower your head slightly to let it happen. <<talk "eve">>You find me sexy? You don't just think of me as a little kid?<</talk>>\ Her tone is a little vulnerable as she speaks. In answer to her question, you lean down again, kissing her with a instinctual hunger. Eve's eyes are filled with excitement when you break the kiss. With an enthusiasm that matches her child like appearance, Eve starts to strip, her clothes flying every which way as she discards each item. She's just kicking off her panties when she stops, seeing the bemused expression on your face. <<talk "eve">>What? Am I doing something wrong?<</talk>>\ You can tell that she's suddenly very self conscious. Her hands moving subconsciously to cover her body. You spent a few seconds looking at her, your eyes following her subtle curves even as you feel your pants becoming tighter. <<talk "player">>Nothing wrong at all, I was just thinking that you're adorable.<</talk>>\ For a second, you aren't sure if she's going to get mad because she associates the word 'adorable' with kids or if she will accept your words for the compliment they are. Then her face splits into a broad grin. Leaning close to you, her expression becomes conspiratorial. <<talk "eve">>My pussy gets wet when I think about how it feels to have your thing inside of it.<</talk>>\ You feel your manhood throb in your pants at her words. Without saying anything, you begin to undress, taking more time than she did. <<talk "eve">>Catch me!<</talk>>\ Eve giggles as she takes off across the pond's sandy beach. A second later, you're running after her, your longer legs propelling you after her at a rate she can never hope to out pace. When you catch her, you half tackle her, half sweep her off her feet, sending you both sprawling across the sand while you shelter her from being hurt. When you finally stop rolling, you're laying on top of her. Suddenly her expression turns serious, her eyes searching yours as she spreads her legs and her heels come to rest on each cheek of your ass. With a little flex, she tries to spur you forward. When the tip of your cock finds her wet folds, you feel her reach down and guide you to her opening. Her labia part, her opening stretching to accommodate your manhood. Her tight hold envelopes you without trouble. Eve sighs happily, then unexpectedly wiggles beneath you. Looking at her expression, she wiggles again, her face pinching. <<talk "player">>What's wrong?<</talk>>\ You start to pull back, but Eve's legs wrapped around your hips prevents you from pulling out of her. Her expression completely serious, she grumbles. <<talk "eve">>I have sand in my butt crack.<</talk>>\ You can't help but laugh. A second later, you thrust forward again, causing her to moan loudly as she clings to you. Your lust spurs you on, your movements coming slowly at first, then over barely a dozen thrusts you are spearing her with powerful thrusts, her moans echoing loudly in the clearing and across the water. //She isn't this loud inside the mansion. I wonder if she wants her sister to hear us back at the mansion?// You're just hitting your stride when you notice movement near the trees. Your pace slows in spite of Eve trying to use her heels to spur you back into motion, your eyes scanning the tree line until you spot Gaia crouched in the shadows, watching the two of you with clear interest.

<<talk "player">>And sometimes it's nice to just enjoy nature.<</talk>>\ You retort. Eve frowns, her eyes narrowing in disappointment. <<talk "player">>How about we walk out on the dock, dangle our toes in the water.<</talk>>\ Eve's scowl deepens. <<talk "eve">>You're treating me like a kid again.<</talk>>\ The disapproval in her voice is enough to draw you up short, your eyes focusing on her as you consider your next words. <<talk "player">>No, I'm not treating you like a kid. Your child like joy is one of your most endearing qualities, and being playful seems like a good way to bring out those qualities.<</talk>>\ You can see Eve's expression soften before she looks out over the pond. Without another word shared between you, you walk hand in hand toward the dock, the soft crunch of the sand beneath your feet gives way to the sound of your shoes striking the hard wood of the dock. When you reach the end of the dock, you remove your shoes and socks, then sit down at the edge of the dock looking out over the large pond. A second later, Eve plops down on the dock beside you, glances your way, then scoots a few inches closer until her hip presses against yours. Dipping her toes in the water, her face seems to light up and she makes a little squeak. <<talk "eve">>Water's cold.<</talk>>\ Smiling as she states the obvious, you kick one of your feet, then bring it back down with enough force to splash both of you. Eve shrieks in sudden glee, then does the same to you, only she starts kicking her feet one after another to create an almost constant spray of water in the air. Not willing to back down, you kick all the harder right up until Eve reaches down and scoops water to throw at you. Your instinctive reaction is to reach out, placing your hand on the small of her back and pushing, sending her squealing into the pond with a splash. Several things happen almost at once. From behind you, there's a blood curdling scream that causes your head to snap around. You see Gaia charging toward you, her expression one of anguish and terror, her spear raised as if she intends to attack. Eve comes up from the water sputtering and giggling, not yet aware of what is happening. With one hand, you reach down and take Eve's hand, only half looking at her as you pull her out of the water. Your adrenaline is pumping through your veins, causing your pulse to rush in your ears. As Eve rises up out of the water, Gaia's eyes flicker to the small woman, confusion flashing across her features as her pace starts to falter. Gaia makes a sound, like a wounded animal. She looks on the verge of tears as she slows to a stop. Her eyes flicker between you and Eve one more time, seeing Eve slip her arms around your middle. Again, Gaia makes that wounded sound, this time softer, raw emotion clear in her tone even if you don't understand what brought on such a powerful reaction from the feral woman. <<talk "player">>Gaia? What's wrong?<</talk>>\ Rather than come closer, Gaia circles, her eyes on Eve. She makes a sort of confused sound, then backs away. //I don't know what's gotten into her, but it's got her badly rattled.// <<talk "player">>Eve, I think we should head back to the mansion.<</talk>>\ Without a word, Eve takes your hand and allows you to lead her back toward the trail. More than once, you try talking to Gaia, to reassure her, but she seems unusually wary as she follows a discreet distance from you, clearly watching you closely. When you finally reach the back yard of the mansion, you tell Eve to head for the house. She does as you ask without protest. You watch her go for a few seconds, then turn back toward the forest. You scan the trees for a couple of minutes, but see no sign of Gaia. Sighing inwardly, and a little troubled about what might have upset Gaia like that, you turn and start to wander back toward the mansion.

Ignoring Gaia, you focus your attention on Eve instead. As your eyes meet Eve's, a faint smile tngging at her lips as she moans in pleasure beneath you. You can feel her moving her body, trying to maximize the pleasure she is experiencing. If nothing else, her enthusiasm drives you forward, bringing you to the peak of pleasure. When you throb inside of her, Eve's eyes fly wide, her arms and legs grasping at you, her mouth hanging open as she feels you fill her with your cum. <<talk "eve">>Oh my God, it feels like you filled up my whole belly.<</talk>> A goofy grin spreads across her face. <<talk "eve">>And it's so warm inside.<</talk>> You feel yourself throb one last time inside of her, then verly slowly slide your manhood from her freshly used hole, revealing a small trickle of your pearly white cum in your wake. Eve grins, stretching like a cat across the warm sand as she looks at you. The motion reminds you that you'd seen Gaia earlier, prompting you to look for her along the tree line. Sure enough, she's still crouched near a tree, her eyes on you while she touches herself between her legs with inexperienced movements. When she sees you looking back, she moves a little deeper into the undergrowth, making her difficult to see. Unwilling to be ignored, Eve scrambles to her feet and starts to run, her naked body distracting you from Gaia as she rushes toward the water. Grinning, you glance back at Gaia, but when you're unable to spot her among the trees so look back at Eve right as she dives into the water. She comes back up gasping, eyes wide as she realizes just how cold the water really is. Within minutes, she exits the water again, her skin covered with goosebumps as she shivers. You're fully dressed long before Eve has her clothes back on. Still shivering, she jumps up to her tip toes, kissing you quickly on the lips, then telling you she's headed back to the mansion before rushing off toward the trail leading home.

Turning your head, you try to watch both Gaia and Eve. As Eve's eyes catch yours, a faint smile tigging at her lips as she moans in pleasure beneath you. You can feel her moving her body, trying to maximize the pleasure she is experiencing. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Gaia watching raptly, occassionally, she glances down, one hand moving between her legs to spread her pussy while craming her neck in an attempt to gain a better view. If nothing else, Eve's enthusiasm beneath you drives you forward, bringing you to the peak of pleasure. Gaia jerks in the corner of your vision, one hand between her legs and her eyes wide as she touches herself with inexperienced fingers. It's then that you throb inside of Eve, her eyes fly wide, her arms and legs grasping at you, her mouth hanging open as she feels you fill her with your cum. <<talk "eve">>Oh my God, it feels like you filled up my whole belly.<</talk>> A goofy grin spreads across her face. <<talk "eve">>And it's so warm inside.<</talk>> You feel yourself throb one last time inside of her, then verly slowly slide your manhood from her freshly used hole, revealing a small trickle of your pearly white cum in your wake. Eve grins, stretching like a cat across the warm sand as she looks at you. <<talk "eve">>Is it weird that Gaia watched us have sex? It didn't feel weird to me.<</talk>>\ You think for a moment, realizing that Eve had to have seen Gaia as well even though you never saw her look that way. <<talk "player">>She doesn't know any better, and the only way something like that's weird is if someone makes it weird.<</talk>>\ Eve grins suddenly, looking ready to say something before she stops herself. When Eve doesn't say anything more, you glance back toward Gaia. You have to search the tree line for a moment before you finally spot her again. She's moved further into the shadows, her eyes on you while she touches herself between her legs with inexperienced movements. When she sees you looking back, she moves a little deeper into the undergrowth, making her even more difficult to see. Unwilling to be ignored, Eve scrambles to her feet and starts to run, her naked body distracting you from Gaia as she rushes toward the water. Grinning, you look back toward Gaia, but when you're unable to spot her among the trees so look back at Eve right as she dives into the water.

Pulling back quickly, Eve looks startled, her eyes shifting toward where you're looking. <<talk "eve">>It's just Gaia.<</talk>>\ She says innocently. You glance back at Eve, then toward Gaia where you see the dark skinned woman withdrawing into the trees. Grimacing, you realize that the mood is ruined, and a dissappointed looking Eve is looking up at you as if wondering what she should do. Without warning, Eve leans forward quickly, planting a solid kiss on your lips before scrambling away and darting toward the pond. Your eyes follow her naked form as she approaches the water's edge. Eve is barely hip deep before she dives headlong into the water. She comes back up gasping, eyes wide as she realizes just how cold the water really is. Within minutes, she exits the water again, her skin covered with goosebumps as she shivers. You're fully dressed long before Eve has her clothes back on.

You're just walking around the fountain when you see Eve running toward you. Following her gaze, you don't see what she's running from, but her attention is clearly on something behind her. She never even sees you before she plows right into you, knocking both of you to the ground without ever having looked toward where she is going. Eve grunts as she hits the ground, her head whipping around toward you as her smile shifts first to surprise, then her eyes begin to fill with tears. <<talk "eve">>Ow!<</talk>>\ As the single word flies from her lips, she reaches for her own bottom, wincing as her hand comes into contact with her freshly bruised backside. [[Make sure she's ok.|Eve Grounds 2a]] [[Tell her to be more careful.|Eve Grounds 2b]] [[Be angry.|Eve Grounds 2c]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Picking yourself up, you kneel beside Eve. <<talk "player">>You ok?<</talk>>\ You ask her, your eyes roaming in search of injury. Tears begin to fall from Eve's eyes, even though you can see her trying valiantly to hold them back. <<talk "eve">>I landed hard. My bottom's hurt.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Lets get you on your feet and make sure you're alright.<</talk>>\ Carefully, you help her to her feet, still kneeling beside her. She winces at the pain, but seems to have no trouble standing. Without really stopping to think about the implications of your action, you reach for the hem of her dress and start to lift. <<talk "player">>Lets take a quick look, make sure you don't need a bandage or something.<</talk>>\ Eve nods, seeming unphased by what you are doing. It's not until her panties come into view that it occurs to you that you're exposing her like this. When you pause, Eve reaches down, pulling her own panties down to expose her bottom as she turns so you can get a better look. You can see where she landed, her bottom bright red and clearly scraped, //It's not bleeding, but it's going to leave quite a bruise.// [[Comfort her.|Eve Grounds 2d]] [[Kiss it to make it better.|Eve Grounds 2e]] [[Get mad she didn't pay more attention.|Eve Grounds 2c]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

Looking her over as she gets to her feet, you see no sign of serious injury. She reaches back and rubs her bottom, unshed tears in her eyes, but she there's no indication that she's having trouble standing or anything like that. <<talk "player">>What were you running from?<</talk>>\ You don't give her enough time to reply before you continue. <<talk "player">>You need to watch where you're going. One of us could have been hurt.<</talk>>\ Eve nods, her lower lip protruding in a pout. Without another word, you stand, then offer her your hand to help her to her feet. Eve makes a show of brushing herself off, wincing visibly when she touches her own bottom, then mumbles an apology before making a hasty retreat.

Without another word, you slip your arms around her and give her a hug. <<talk "player">>Looks like it's going to leave a bruise, but I'm glad you weren't hurt worse.<</talk>>\ You can actually //feel// Eve smile at your words. The two of you hold each other for several long seconds before she finally pulls away, a mischievous grin on her lips. <<talk "eve">>Want to kiss it and make it all better?<</talk>>\ Even before you can reply, she squeals in laughter and rushes away before you can even think to try stopping her. Smiling to yourself, you watch her go. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $eve.affection += 2>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

Smirking, you lean in quickly, kissing her right on the angry red mark from where she landed on her bottom. Eve giggles, pulling away while yanking her panties up and dropping her dress back into place. Her eyes are a little wide, her breathing rapid as she looks at you. There's a surprised smile on her lips as she meets your eyes. Her smile turns mischievous as she takes a little step back toward you, playfully starting to pull her skirt back up. You can't help yourself, you laugh, then reach out to give her a light swat on her bottom. She lets out a little yelp, the light spank probably hurting worse given her forming bruise. In a flash, she sort of dances away from you, giggling before making her retreat. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $eve.affection += 5>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

<<talk "player">>Now get out of here before I decide you need my handprint on your bottom.<</talk>>\ There;s a split second where the corner of her mouth quirks up, preparing to smile, but almost as soon as it begins, her eyes widen with the realization that you might be serious.

Going to the back yard, you breathe in cold nocturnal air. Everywhere there is calm and silence, only interrupted by the chirps of the crickets, the clicks of the bats, and the faint burrowing of the hedgehog, which he devoted himself to his affairs in the grass. You really enjoy these peaceful moments comfortably leaning against the back of the garden bench, watching the clear night sky covered with stars. //As small diamonds scattered on the soft velvet...// you think. Suddenly your attention is attracted by quiet, cautious steps somewhere behind you. //That would be one of the girls?// "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>..?" You hear the sound of Eve's voice whispered from the darkness behind you. "Eve..? What are you doing out this late in the evening?" You ask. "Anna sleeps noisy some nights and I can't sleep." She says around a yawn, her tone a little annoyed. "Would you like to sit with me for a moment?" You ask, hoping that she will quickly get tired and fall asleep easier. "That would be great." Eve says jumping to the bench and you hug her around her shoulders. You spend the next half hour talking about everything, and you noticed that her eyes are getting heavier. "Eve look..!" You squeezed her in an embrace suddenly . "The star is falling!" A long, bright line slashes the dark night sky. "Quickly - Wish for something..!" "Why?" She inquires. "Because if you see a star falling and you make a wish, your wish will be fulfilled." She looks thoughtful for a moment, then a hint of hope and happiness appeared in her expression. "But be careful when you wish for something - some wishes can really be fulfilled" You continue as if it were a big secret. "But isn't that a good thing? To get your wishes?" //Now she looks completely confused.// "Sure it is good, but you should also think about the consequences. The greater the wishes - the greater the aftereffects. And some may turn against you or the people you like. That's how the magic works." "I don't understand" She says with a slight frown. "Hmmm... Look - Let's say that you wished to be free as a bird. That you no longer have to be closed in this house and you could go where you wanted to go and do anything you might want to do" You begin to explain it patiently. As she listens to you, the hint of happiness and tranquility appears in her expression. "But do you know what you would do //out there//? Sooner or later you would meet some strange people and they would start to ask you //different// questions. For example, where do you come from, //what// did you do there, //who// was there with you, //what// he did with you..?" There is a growing doubt on her face. "And even though I have always had the best intentions with you and your sister, the //authorities// would take an interest, and would start to trouble me." There is a growing look of fear in her eyes. "And those //authorities// would want to hurt you?" She asks, a slight tremble in her voice. //She's really tired to be reacting so strongly.// "In a way, I guess. They'd probably take me away, and I'd never see Anna or you again. And that would hurt me very much" Her eyes swim in unshed tears. "I'm... I'm //so// sorry <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>. I don't want this. Please, please - how can I recall my wishes?" She asks, her face buried in your chest. Through your shirt you can feel her tears seeping through the fabric. The air takes on a little more chill than before and a faint breeze begins to blow. //Oh Eve, so that's what you wished? Now I feel a little bad. I totally screwed this up,...// "I'd rather stay closed here forever than have something bad happen to you or lose you. I won't wish to be free anymore..." Her voice is lost in sobs. The shirt on your chest has already been soaked with her tears. You pull her off to see her in the eyes. "Eve, do you remember what I said when I came here? That I do not know how to deal with you for the time?" She calms a little and looks into your eyes as if she expects a profound judgment to decide her future fate. "I //want// you to be free. You and Anna too. So you can go where you want and do what you want. But it can't happen //yet//. I promise that I will do everything possible to let you prepare for it." Again she rests her face on your chest and seems lost in thought. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?" She asks after a moment. "Hmmm?" "Will you feel sorry for us when we leave? Again you pull her gently away so you can look into her eyes. "You do not even know how empty my life would be if you left. I don't know if I would want to keep living..." She looked into your eyes for a moment as if waiting for you to say something more. You feel a chill and shiver slightly at the cold. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?" "Yes?" "Do we have to leave? Could we stay here? With you?" She asks with hope in her voice. "That would be the most beautiful thing I could expect from life." You reply in a small voice, feeling that you're losing the battle with the tears of emotion that began to push into your eyes. //I'm getting pretty tired too if I'm feeling so emotional.// She turns her head over your shoulder and simply enjoys this moment watching the starry sky. There are heavy clouds on the horizon that quickly draw closer. Eve suddenly breathes in surprise and presses your hand firmly. Another meteorite lit up in the sky. //But it is a matter of happiness - twice a night.// Eve slowly turns her head to you. Her eyes blaze with confidence and determination. "Now everything is all right. You do not have to worry anymore. Anna and I will protect you." //That's what I'm curious about, what she wished this time.// "Against what?" You ask a pretense of concern in your voice as you humor her. "Against //authorities//." She responds proudly and courageously. In the distance you noticed a flash of lighting illuminate the horizon as she speaks. You chuckle softly, amused. "Of course - You with the dust rag and Anna with her mop. I'll be counting on you." Your shoulders began to shake with silent laughter, projecting girls fighting their tools in their hands against whatever Eve has imagined as authorities. "Yes!" Eve replies with the firm voice of a brave knight. There was a mighty thunder-clap from somewhere in the distance. //Wow - good timing.// Her firm expression begins to fade when looking at you with your face in the palms of your hands, laughing at the idea of the furious //mop-fu// the girls might employ to protect you from any perceived threat. "What?" She asks with a frowning expression. "You don't think the rag and mop would not work on //authorities//?" "It was just sarcasm," you replied with an amused smile. "I'm sure if something goes wrong, we'll find a way to solve it. But it's too late tonight. And that storm looks like it's coming our way. It's time to go to bed." You say, rising from the bench. Eve follows, a frown on her face. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?" she stops halfway to the house. "Yes?" "You're being //sarcastic// with me," You can see just a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. With an amused smile, You embraced her and kiss her on the forehead. "I'll try to resist the urge in the future." Hand in hand you walk into the house, entering just as the first drops of rain begin to drum on the roof. On the staircase in the entry hall you tell Eve goodnight, then head for the master bedroom. The rain outside intensifies and through the open window, fresh - storm ionized air flows into the room. You decide to leave the window open for a while. You get undressed despite the fatigue. Then you, almost half-asleep plunge in the bed ... // ... standing in the middle of the entrance hall you watch Eve with a broom in her hand sweeping dust from beneath the stairs. She turns toward you and nods to you with an innocent smile. Then she continues sweeping a little faster. Occasionally she giggles, spinning on the spot and goes faster and faster. She is spinning at tremendous speed around you, like a little giggling tornado. Dust springs across the room and her giggling disappears in the ever-increasing noise of the whirling air. Suddenly there is a flash and the hall is shaken by a deafening explosion ... // You open your eyes and through the open window the sound of thunder fading away from there. //That one was pretty close, I'd better close the window.// You reluctantly raise yourself from the bed and struggle with the partially soaked curtains that were rolling in the wind, you close the window. The storm peaks. Wind raging in the trees and chasing floods of rain to the walls and windows. Like a zombie you shamble back to the bed and hoped that you could get back to sleep.

// ... lying half-stunned in the middle of the entry hall, dust was floating all over. Eve bent over, gently mashed into you. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>..?" // "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>> ... <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>. Wake up." Eve shakes you with a hint of concern in her expression. "Eve! What are you doing in here? Why aren't you sleeping?" You ask wearily, not knowing if you're still dreaming, you worry absently that she can turn into a small tornado. "I can't wake Anna and ... And ..." She trails off ... "And?" You asked impatiently. "Well... They... They're crawling on the roof and... Can I sleep with you tonight?" She asks with hope in her voice. "Who? Who's crawling on the roof?" There is despair in your tired voice. "//Authorities...//" she says in a barely audible voice. "Eve. You convinced me that you can overcome them. Take your dust rag //just in case// and go to your bed." Your tone is uncompromising. "But..." She says. "But..?" You ask. "But they're coming for //you//, I'm here to protect you ..." She says pulling her rag from behind her back. The way she looks at you makes it clear that she is worried about //you// this whole time.. "Ohh ... Come here sweetie." You say, touched by her concern for you even as you smile in amusement. You pull back the blankets for her. With a winning smile she jumps into your bed, snuggled up to you and she puts her rag on the bedside table to have it on hand. Just in case ... "And now sleep! I'll take care of you." She says in a voice like //she// is the one who commands here. Slowly you begin to sink into another dream ... "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?" She whispers, half-asleep. "Hmmm?" You reply, your tone resigned. "I like when you call me //sweetie//..." You did not answer. Just smile and devote yourself to the fair sleep, ignoring the //authorities// crawling on the rooftop over the mansion. //I wonder if Anna's going to show up with a mop.

Starts in Garden area, routs through Sleep Content.

As you walk around in the yard, you spot Eve, cutting the grass in the hot sun. Damp spots have formed on the back of her dress and her body is slumped onto the steering wheel of the lawnmower. [[Pour water on her.|Submitted Eve Grounds 1a]] [[Get her some water.|Submitted Eve Grounds 1b]] [[Move along.|Submitted Eve Grounds 1c]] Submitted by Mathias <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You stand there wondering how to cool Eve down. After thinking for a bit about how to do it, you remember that there is a bucket in the shed. //That could work.// You think. When you arrive in the shed, you grab the bucket and fill it with water. With the heavy bucket now filled with water, you walk out to the garden again. To make sure that Eve does not see the bucket, you place it behind a bush. "Eve!" You call out, she looks towards you and waves. Now that you have gotten her attention, you signal to her, that she should come over to you. Eve turns the lawnmower around and drives it towards you. When she reaches you, she jumps off the lawnmower. "Do you need my help?" Eve asks. You look at her and say, "Just stand there for two seconds." Eve looks confused, but nods and stands still. "Look over there." You say, trying to distract Eve. When she notices that there is nothing where you pointed, she turns around, but you have already grabbed the bucket and you are standing ready to pour the water on her. Just as she sees the bucket, you thrust it forwards spraying water all over her body. Drenched, Eves shreiks and runs towards you, trying to hug you with her wet body. You try dodging her, but she manages to grab you and smears her body all over you, leaving you wet as well. After getting you wet, Eve lets you go and walks back to the lawnmower, her dress sticking to her body more than it did before.

Seeing the hardworking Eve makes a thought appears in your mind. //She looks like, she could use something to drink.// Looking at her once more, you decide to get her some water. When you reach the kitchen, you walk towards the fridge and grab a bottle of water. With the cold water in your hand, you walk back outside to Eve. She notices you the moment you walk out the door and waves, seeing the smile on her face makes you wave back. Slowly approaching her, you wave to her to signal that she should come. Eve drives the lawnmower over to you, you throw the water to her. While wiping the sweat off her forehead, she opens the bottle and drinks half of the water in one gulp. After drinking the rest of the water, she tosses the bottle back to you and drives off.

Walking out to the backyard to enjoy the fresh air, you look around and notice Eve is skipping rope instead of doing her chores. Wondering where she found the rope you walk up to her.

You call out to Eve, as you slowly walk towards her. Eve looks towards you, a bright smile forming on her face as she continues jumping, not missing a beat when she turns a half-circle while still jumping. "That sounds like fun!" she says, her smile growing even more than before, starting to jump run toward you only to stop a hairs-breadth away from the rope hitting you as she skips. You can't but marvel at her skill at skipping rope, //I would never be able to turn around that quickly while jumping rope, never mind running while skipping.// "Hey, I was thinking. We'll need another one to take the other end so why don't you go get Anna to come and join us?" You tell Eve, looking at her as she already dropped the rope while turning around to start running towards the mansion. "Be right back!" Eve yells back as she's already half-way to the mansion, her squeals of joy being heard from where you are standing, you can only imagine the commotion she'll be making inside as she looks for Anna. Standing where you were, you're not sure what to do to entertain yourself as you wait for her to return with Anna. That is when you come to the brilliant idea //Hey, I should use this opportunity to get in some rope jumping practice!// Swinging the rope around you jump once, only for the rope to catch your leg, causing you to stumble forward and almost fall, //Definitely not my best moment...// you think to yourself before trying again. This time it goes a bit better, but not nearly as good as you'd hope for, as you catch your leg once more during the fourth jump. It isn't until you have finally got the hang of jumping that you notice Eve practically dragging Anna after her that you lose concentration on the fifteenth jump, catching your leg again, this time landing hard on your poor bum while both Eve and Anna watch it all happen to you. "Ouch!" You yell half in pain, half in frustration, with just a bit of laugh to it as you see the two girls had arrived in front of you. Eve is looking at you with barely contained amusement and laughter while, Anna, on the other hand, looks at you with slight concern as she offers you a hand up after only a slight hesitation. "Are you alright, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>," Anna asks you, still waiting for you to take her hand. Looking her in the eyes, you accept the offered hand and get yourself up, only to pull Anna in towards you and kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you, Anna." You say with a smirk as Anna's cheeks quickly flush red from the unexpected kiss. "O-oh, your welcome, mas-<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, I meant <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!" Anna quickly looks down at the ground, not daring to look you in the eyes from sheer embarrassment, which isn't helped in the slightest as Eve starts bursting out in laughter from her reaction, earning Eve a sharp glare before Anna looks at your chest, not quite yet feeling confident enough to look you in your eyes again. "Y-you wanted something, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?" Anna asks you, finally looking you in the eyes for long enough to finish talking before looking down at your chest again. "Oh?

You can't but marvel at her skill at skipping rope, //I would never be able to turn around that quickly while jumping rope, nevermind running while skipping.// "I'm not the best at jumping though, so how about we tie one end to that tree over there," you continue talking as you point at a tree just a little ways off "and I'll use the other end to swing the rope around for you?" Eve beams with childlike happiness at your words, promptly running towards the tree you had pointed at, and by the time you have gotten there yourself, she's already got one end of the rope tied to the tree and holding out the other end to you. "This is going to be so fun!" She tells you just as you grip the offered rope, already skipping in front of the rope's middle, ready to jump in and jump some rope as soon as you start spinning it around. Before you can tell her you are ready, Eve jumps into the middle just as the rope reaches its zenith, skipping with precision unlike that of her appearance. "Go faster, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!" Eve practically squeals in excitement and joy, having long since started alternating between jumping with only the left foot and then the right foot. "Alright, just don't trip and fall!" You answer in a teasing tone with some concern mixed in, making it come off as only half a challenge, as you start spinning the rope faster and faster. You marvel at how good she is at rope jumping, and how she doesn't seem to tire from it even if she's been jumping for a few minutes by now. She never misses a beat, skipping in circles some times, while other times she'd skip two or even three swings before landing again. //Just looking at her like this, you'd never be able to tell she is actually eighteen.// You think to yourself just as she bends down quickly to touch the ground before getting right back up just as quickly. After more than ten minutes have gone by, where Eve has repeatedly been touching the ground, skipping circles, jumping on one leg after the other, and even humming what sounds like some kind of rhyme you haven't heard before, you finally slow down the spinning and tell her to jump out. "I'm beat already, and I was just spinning the rope, I can't believe how you have been jumping around for so long, and you still aren't exhausted!" You tell Eve, inhaling deeply, you hold the breath for a moment before slowly releasing it through your mouth, trying to get your pulse under control. Eve doesn't answer you right away; Instead, she runs right up to you and jumps onto you, wrapping her arms around your neck and her legs around your waist to hold her up, giving your cheek a quick peck. "Thank you for playing with me, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, I had so much fun!" Eve says, while still holding onto you and giggling for a good ten seconds or more before finally getting down from you, giving you one last squeeze before she takes a step away to better look you in the eyes, a huge grin spreading on her face and excitement in her eyes. "It was my pleasure, I had fun too." You genuinely answer back, ruffling her hair and patting her head affectionately, Eve leans into your hand, enjoying the caress until you pull back your hand. Looking down at Eve, you can see some color has found its way onto her cheeks, clearly having liked being patted earlier, but there's also something else in her eyes, making its way to her grin as well, mischief. "Can we play again sometime? I would love to see you jumping rope too!" She suddenly asks you in a teasing tone, almost as if she's challenging you to a rope jumping contest against her. You smirk in return, giving her a playful shove of her shoulder while making sure it doesn't hurt, then answer back with an equally teasing tone as you accept her challenge "Of course we can, and I'll beat you too." Even though you know that it is one that you'll easily lose. "I'll leave you to-" you start to say as you plan to leave, but then remember you hadn't asked about the rope yet, "oh, I meant to ask where you found that rope earlier, I can't remember having seen one anywhere in the mansion earlier." Having started to put the rope to the side so she can get back to her chores, Eve turns to look at you while smiling, "I found the rope in the attic some time ago, I've been keeping it ever since, I hope you don't mind." she says with no concern. "I don't mind, it's good to get in some exercise, having fun while doing so is always a plus." You tell her in a kind tone, shifting over to a slightly more serious one as you add "Just don't let it get in the way of your chores, alright?" "No worries, I'll make sure I finish my chores, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!" Eve answers, even smiling from ear to ear as she does, before turning around to get back to her chores. You look at her back for a few seconds as she walks off towards her chores again before you make walk on your way.

You call out to Eve, as you slowly walk towards her. Eve stops jumping to look at you, a small smile on her lips as she says, "I was just quitting now, maybe another time." and starts to put the rope to the side so she can get back to her chores. "Alright, another time then. Want me to put that back for you?" you ask Eve just as she turned her back on you, presumably to go to wherever her chores take her. Eve turns in your direction, "That's ok, I'll put it back when I'm done with my chores, thanks, though!" She answers back, a touch of joy in her voice at the last bit, before turning around again. You look at her back as she walks off towards her chores again. //Guess I'll have to ask her next time, then.// [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 1 }>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>> <<else>>"You want to play together?"

It's evident from the reaction that she still doesn't trust you yet, and she's trying to figure out what you want without asking. "I'm sorry... I'll get back to work." Eve says, quickly grabbing the rope and placing it off to the side before she continues with whatever chore she was doing before, not even giving you a chance to ask about the rope.

<<if $eve.affection gte 500 and $eve.fear lte 300>>"Hey Eve, you having fun jumping?" You ask as you near her, your tone sounding light. Eve turns around, "Hey <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!" she says while she's still jumping, "Just jumping some rope during my break, it's so fun!" "I can see that, you're jumping so enthusiastically." you say with a smile, "I can't remember having seen a rope here before, where did you get it?" you ask with genuine curiosity. "This?" Eve asks, while still jumping, "oh! I found it in the attic some time ago while exploring!" She replies with excitement. "Exploring, you say?" You say curiously and add, "Have you found anything interesting while exploring?" "I have, but it's in the Servant's Quarters," Eve answers playfully, "maybe I'll show you if you find me there!" She adds, jumping on just her left foot now. "Alright, I look forward to seeing what you'll show me." you say, "Remember to finish your work for today, alright?" smiling to her. "No problem! I'll get back to my chores in a little bit!" Eve answers as she now jumps on just her right foot. You begin to turn to leave when you mention, "Oh, and don't forget to take the rope in with you when you are done working." "Don't worry, I won't forget it!" Eve says back, "Bye, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!" then jumps high enough to spin the rope three full turns before landing again. You look at her for a few seconds, then turn around and walk away. <<elseif $eve.affection gte 400 or $eve.fear lte 500>>"Hey Eve, you having fun jumping?" You ask as you near her, your tone sounding light. Eve turns around, the rope going slack as she stops jumping, "Oh, hi <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>," she says, "just jumping some rope during my break, I'll get back to work after I am done, don't worry!" You wave your hand to dismiss her worries, "No problem, I was just wondering where you'd found the rope, I can't remember having seen one before is all." you say with genuine curiosity. "This?" Eve asks while holding the rope up to look at it, "oh! I found it in the attic some time ago while exploring!" She replies with excitement. "Exploring, you say?" You say curiously and add, "Have you found anything interesting while exploring?" "I have, but it's my secret," Eve answers playfully, "maybe I'll tell you another time." She adds, getting the rope ready to start jumping more. "Some other time it is, then," you say, "as long as you get your work done for today, I won't mind you having some fun." You begin to turn to leave when you mention, "Oh, don't forget to take the rope in with you when you are done working." "Don't worry, I won't forget it!" Eve says back, "Bye, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!" then starts spinning the rope and jumping again. You look at her for a few seconds, then turn around and walk away. <<else>>"Hey, where did you get that rope from?" You ask Eve, slowly closing the distance between the two, stopping only a foot away from her as she turns and drops the rope. "U-um, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, I didn't mean to take it, I just found it in the attic a while ago, and wanted to have some fun." Eve answers with a little uncertainty in her voice. "That's ok, just don't play while you are supposed to be working," You tell her, "and be sure to put it back after you are done." "Ok, I will!" Eve replies still a little uncertainly, but with some happiness mixing in from hearing she's allowed to play after work. "Thank you!" "No problem, Eve." You tell her, turning half-way around "Now, get back to work, it won't do itself, you know." Then, with the attic in mind, walk away. <</if>> [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 2>>

You stomp your way up to Eve, catching the rope in your hands before she can react and rip it out of her hands, her fear evident in her eyes. "Where did you find this?" You ask her with a hint of anger in your voice, "I've never seen this rope before, you didn't steal it did you?" you add accusingly. Eve slinks back a few steps, seeming to want to escape your wrath, but realizes that would only prolong the inevitable and make things worse for herself, and instead stays in place, looking you only briefly in your eyes before looking anywhere but her eyes. "I-I... I found it in the attic, M-master, I-I didn't mean to steal it, I just wanted to-to have some fun..." She finally answers in a nervous wreck. You throw the rope to the ground, raising your arm to strike her cheek, only to stop yourself as you change your mind when you see how she cowers even more as she expects the strike. "You aren't supposed to be having fun, especially not when you are supposed to be doing your chores! Now, get back to work before I change my mind and slap you instead!" You practically yell the last few words, turning around and walking away without another word, knowing that Eve wouldn't dare to disobey your words.

"Oh, oh! I forgot to tell you, Anna! <<print $eve.callsPlayer>> wants to play with us!" Eve happily pipes up with clear excitement in her voice, practically jumping on the spot already. Anna looks shocked at first, which turns into confusion as she looks from you to Eve and back, repeating the process once more before finally noticing the rope in your hand, it's as if you can see a light-bulb turn on inside her head at that point, having just realized what is going on. "Yeah, I figured it would be nice for Eve and you to have some fun for once." You tell her, adding with a smile, "And besides, you've both been hard at work this whole time, you deserve a break from your chores, why not have some fun while on your break?" Anna starts fidgeting with her apron as she's uncertain at what to make out of this, but Eve walks up to you and grabs an end of the rope before thrusting it at Anna, who reluctantly takes it after looking into Eve's eyes for just a moment. "Come on, you guys! I want to jump already!" Eve practically yells, already jumping up and down as if skipping rope. This seems to snap Anna out of whatever thought she was in, finally taking a few steps backward from you with the rope in hand, and once she's at a far enough distance, you start spinning the rope, leaving her to play catch-up with you before she manages to keep your rhythm. "Alright, you-" Is all you manage to say to Eve before she has already jumped into the middle of the spinning rope, giggling in excitement as she does. Looking at the adorable girl in front of you, you can't help yourself from smiling at her childlike energy and. Looking up at Anna, you catch her staring at you with her own smile before she quickly averts her gaze when she realizes you've been looking right back at her, color creeping onto her cheeks. "This is fun, isn't it?" You ask no one in particular, but direct the question towards Anna anyway, hoping to get her at least a little comfortable, and that she's also having fun. Eve is the first one to answer the question, although you don't need to hear her answer to know that she is having a lot of fun, so you don't pay too much attention to her as you wait for Anna to answer instead. Anna seems to notice how you'd all but ignored Eve's answer and, looking to you, sees that you've been waiting for her to answer all along. She gets a little fidgety at your undivided attention as you patiently wait with a smile on your lips. "Anna! Quit slacking off, you're making it difficult for me to jump!" Eve burst out as Anna's end of the rope has started to droop, making it low on one end and high on the other end. "S-sorry, Eve!" Anna exclaims, quickly averting her eyes from you to focus on the rope instead, spinning it faster until she's back in rhythm with your swings before she answers your question almost in a whisper, "I-yes... This is, fun." making it difficult for you to hear her. "What? Could you repeat that?" you ask her, adding "I didn't quite catch that the first time," afterward. "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around!" Anna is saved from having to repeat herself by Eve's sudden singing as she starts jumping circles. "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground!" This time it was Anna's turn to sing, a genuine smile appearing on her face as she watches Eve quickly crouch and touches the ground before jumping again. "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, jump up high!" Eve says now, bending down slightly before launching herself into the air, timing her jump just right so she doesn't hit the rope. "Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the sky!" Anna barely manages to say between a few laughs of joy from watching her little sister have so much fun. Eve quickly lifts her right hand high before lowering it again, repeating the same process with her left hand, her own laughs of joy coming out. "Teddy bear, teddy bear, bend down low!" Eve says, bending down in a crouched position and continuing to jump as she remains crouched. "Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your toes!" Anna says next, and contrary to what you had expected Eve to do, she remains crouched, but somehow still manages to first touch her left toe then her right. This causes you and Anna both to gasp in awe, which earns an almost cheeky laugh from Eve. "Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn out the light!" Eve now says, first getting in an upright position before she times the rope's swings before she closes her eyes as she keeps somehow jumping. This almost has you slow your swings down a bit, but you manage to catch yourself before any damage had been done, and you continue the same rhythm. "Teddy bear, teddy bear, say goodnight!" When you hear Anna say that, you get confused, but you quickly realize it means Eve will be jumping out soon, and you can't but doubt that Eve would be able to do this while still holding her eyes shut. Anna seems to be thinking the same thing as you too, but she's also holding her breath and paying close attention to Eve. A good solid minute goes by where Eve continues jumping while keeping her eyes shut, and just as you were expecting her to give up, you notice her head tilts slightly to the side, almost as if she's honing her ears in on a particular noise.

It isn't until another 10 seconds pass that Eve finally gets ready then, just as the rope hits the ground beneath her, she springs into action, jumping out half a second before the rope would have hit her, and crashing down to the ground, exhausted but giggling as she lays there on her back. "I can't believe I did it! Finally, I did it!" She yells between fits of laughter and giggling, Anna having long since dropped her end of the rope and moved over to Eve, who stands up and is promptly wrapped in a hug by her elder sister. "You did it, Eve, I still can't believe it, but you did!" Anna practically yells right into Eve's ears as she spins her in circles before they both start jumping up and down for a while. It isn't until almost a whole minute has gone by that they finally remember that you are there too, and as they do, the sisters are polar opposites in their reactions. Anna almost seems to shy away, staring down at the ground again, not quite able to hide the bright red blush on her cheeks, clearly embarrassed of having had you witness her girlish outburst of joy just earlier. Eve practically throws herself into you as she hugs you tightly, celebrating her achievement with you and earning a head pat from you as you embrace her with your free hand. "I'm amazed, Eve, you blew away all my expectations of your skills!" you tell her, then continue to add "Heck, I still can't believe that you managed to not just touch your toes while jumping in a crouched position, or jump while blind. But you even managed to jump out without seeing! I'm proud of you, Eve." You can see Anna in the edges of your view, and notice how she's gone from trying to hide her embarrassment to practically gawking at you, which earns a smile from you intended for her. "I'm so happy! I've been trying to do that for a long time, but I've never been able to do it without the rope hitting me at some point." Eve tells you, giving you a big hug and adding a bit muffled by your arm, "Thank you so much for playing with me, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, and Anna, of course, thank you both so much!" You pat Eve's head again affectionately, smiling down at the young-looking girl, so proud and happy, and full of joy. "I enjoyed every moment of it, too, and we'll have to do this again sometime too. I definitely want to see what else you have in store for me," you look at Anna, genuinely smiling as you say your next words, "and maybe next time I'll get to see Anna do the jumping." Hearing this from you, Eve pulls back from you and turns toward Anna and echoes your thought, "Yes, Anna! I want to see you jump too; you haven't jumped rope before, have you? I think you always just watched or swung the rope." she walks to Anna and hugs her, looking her in her eyes with puppy dog eyes "Please, say that you will jump with me next time, please, please, please!" Anna seems to go completely rigid at the thought, looking between Eve and you, her mouth opening and closing like a fish on dry land, before she finally finds her words. "I-I yes, m-maybe, I don't k-know..." she starts, looking at you one more time, then at Eve as she finally says "Ok... I'll jump with you next time." Eve jumps up and down in joy, thanking Anna profusely before you interrupt them. "I hadn't realized that twenty minutes had already gone by and, as fun as it was playing with you two, I think it's time for you both to continue your chores. We can continue this another time." You tell them both with a light tone, making sure that they know you aren't upset at them. "Alright! I can't wait for next time; I'm already excited!" Eve quickly answers, adding "I'm going back to my chores now, bye!" before she just as quickly runs off to do her chores, leaving you alone with Anna. "Y-yes, thank you for... for playing with Eve, I think she liked that a lot." Anna says, looking you in the eyes briefly as she talked, a small but genuine smile on her face as she turns half-way around and adds, "I should get back to my chores now, bye <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." Before she turns around completely to go to her chores, you gently place your hand on her shoulder to get her attention, looking her in her eyes as you tell her "I know Eve had fun today, Anna, but did you? I wanted you to have fun too, and I think you did, considering you sang along with Eve. I still want to hear it from you, though, to know for sure that you did." Anna shifts to look at your chest at first, "I-yes, I did," then looking you in the eyes, a small genuine smile forming on her lips, slowly growing the more she continues talking, "I did have fun today. It, it was wonderful to see Eve so full of energy, so happy and excited, and it amazed me how good she had gotten at jumping rope. N-not to mention how amazing it was to see her finally manage to jump out with her eyes closed." Anna inches closer to you, until her shoulder is touching yours, she looks into your eyes, searching them deeply, as if looking for something that is not there, but she can't believe it isn't. Just as the moment seemed to start, whatever that was, she breaks it by stepping back, looking at your chest again as she says "Thank you for today, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>," and then turns half-way around again, "I'll get back to my chores now." and walks away. You're left dumbfounded standing there alone, staring at Anna's back as she walks toward the mansion's entrance, wondering what just happened between you and Anna for a few seconds before you notice the rope in your hand. //Guess I'll have to ask Eve later where she found it so that I can put it back then.// you think to yourself as you finally start walking away.

As you wander through the back yard, you see Eve and Gaia playing, Gaia dancing about while Eve chases her one moment, and in the next it's Eve chasing Gaia. Both girls are laughing and clearly having fun. Then as Gaia is chasing Eve once more, you see Eve duck quickly into the mansion through the dining room door with Gaia hot on her heels. But while Eve vanishes into the mansion, Gaia comes to a sudden halt just shy of the threshold. The sounds of Gaia's laughter trails off, and even from where you are standing you can see her expression slowly shift from one of joy to one of dread. Gaia takes a hesitant step away from the threshold, then her head jerks toward the treeline. Another step away, then she looks again, this time her gaze sweeping the entirety of the back yard before falling on you. //She might have warmed up to me a little bit, but she's still scared of the mansion,// You realize. A third step seems to be the breaking point for Gaia, as if having put three paces between her and the open door, she pivots and runs. Gaia's made it half way to the forest again before you see Eve's face appear through the door again, "Gaia! Where are you going! Did I do something wrong?" But Gaia barely casts a glance back toward Eve. "You didn't do anything wrong," You tell Eve as your footsteps draw you within easy talking distance, "I think the mansion makes her uneasy, like I did at first." There's a long silence before Eve speaks again, "Do you think she'll ever not be scared?" "It's hard to say," You admit, "I think she's been scared for so long that she doesn't know how to be anything but scared," You look at Eve, seeing her looking back, "All we can do is keep being nice to her and try to show her that she has nothing to be afraid of." Looking back in the direction Gaia had went, you see no sign of her. Idly, you wonder if maybe she's just out of sight, looking back at you as you search the treeline for any sign of her. When you glance back at where Eve was a few seconds before, you discover that she too has slipped away, vanishing back into the mansion in search of whatever mischief she's set her sights on now.

Eve seems to be taking great pleasure in the game while Rey almost panics every time he catches the ball and quickly throws it back. All the while Gaia runs back and forth, not quite understanding the nature of the game, but intent on recapturing the ball for Eve. Squeals, growls, and laughter fill the back yard with a sense of life as the three duck, weave, and run across the yard.

Gaia turns toward Eve with the ball in hand, looking pleased with herself right up to the moment Eve rushes past her to Rey's side. "You're ok?" Eve asks Rey. "Yeah," He croaks out, "Just knocked the wind out of me." "Gaia, you can't play so rough," Eve scolds, looking at the confused naked woman.

Rey is just getting to her feet again as Gaia vanishes into the forest. When she looks about, "Where'd Gaia go?" //Rey must be ok if she's worried about where Gaia went.// Both you and Eve spend a couple of minutes fussing over Rey to make sure she really is ok. Satisfied that she's fine, the game seems to have lost it's appeal and the three of you start to wander back toward the mansion.<</if>> [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You happen to glance out the back window overlooking the grounds. There in the back yard you can see Gaia running across the lawn, her movements swift and graceful, her spear in hand. With perfect form, she twists, her arm springing forward to send the spear hurling through the air. She never even slows down. Your eyes leave Gaia for a second, watching the spear arc through the air toward a pair of birds flying overhead. //No, she couldn't be that good,// But at soon as the thought goes through your mind you think of how gracefully she handles that spear. True to form, the spear arcs through the air, seeming to pass through the pair of birds. At first you think she missed, but then you see one of the two birds falter. One wing folds in while the other goes limp and the bird plummets toward the ground. You watch in wonder as Gaia continues to run, half way across the yard now. The bird looks like it's going to hit the ground just in front of her. Still running, the bird hits the ground and Gaia snatches it up in her hand before it's even finished rolling. Her course changes, and it's only then that you see her spear jutting out of the ground a little ways from where she is. Her pace never slows as she rushes forward to her spear. When she reaches it, she doesn't pick it up, instead, she reaches for the little belt around her hips, wraps a bit of cord around the dead bird's neck, then does a little dance around her spear, smiling the whole time. She finally sees me watching and stops, her smile growing into a grin. She points at the bird as if seeking your approval, then snatches her spear from the ground. Raising a hand in greeting, she does the same. Then as if you aren't even there she pivots and begins to jog back toward the wooded area, her pace much more leisurely than it was before.

You are sitting in the living room when you hear a sudden thump against the window. Looking toward the sound, you can see a smudge on the glass that wasn't there before. You have just enough time to wonder what could have made the sound when you see Gaia's face appear at the window. She's rubbing her nose with a look of shock on her face. //Did she seriously just run into the window like a bird?// Not really looking at you, she reaches out with a finger and pokes the window a couple of times, a growing expression of disgust on her face as she does so. When she raises her spear, your eyes widen at the realization of what is about to happen, "No!" You shout before you have time to think. Gaia's spear stops less than a foot from the glass. Before you can say anything else, a hurt expression falls over Gaia's features, then she spins on her heel and starts to run toward the forest. //Crap, I hope she knows I'm not mad at her, I just don't want her breaking a window trying to get in. You'd think she could at least figure out how to use a door like anyone else.//

As you walk across the back yard, you are greeted by the sound of laughter. Not far off, you see Eve playing with Gaia. Gaia is dancing around, being generally obnoxious as she makes faces and funny gestures at the smaller woman. Meanwhile, Eve claps and giggles happily. One second to the next however, that all changes. Gaia freezes where she's standing, her eyes suddenly locked on you. Her expression turns worried as if in slow motion. "It's alright," You say, trying to reassure Gaia, but the damage is already done. The naked ebony woman reaches out, snatches her spear from where it's sticking out of the ground, then starts to trot toward the treeline. Every once in a while she will cast a glance over her shoulder, making sure that you are not following. "I keep telling her that she shouldn't be scared of you, that you're nice. But I don't think she understands," Eve says, stepping up beside you and taking your hand. Both of you watch as Gaia vanishes into the trees. //I wonder if she's just out of sight, still watching us?// "She'll come around, give her time. I suspect that we're as strange to her as she is to us," You give Eve's hand an affectionate little squeeze before releasing it. "Yeah, and she's really strange, fun, but strange," Eve glances up at you, "I like her though." You feel the corner of your mouth curl up in a little smile, "I think you like everyone," You retort. "I do //not// like everyone," She becomes suddenly defensive. "Name one person you don't like," You say, unable to suppress your smile. You cross your arms over your chest, but you know that your growing grin is completely ruining the effect. Even so, Eve's expression turns into a pout, "Well, I don't like Anna, I love her. It's completely different." The defiance in her voice is enough to make you laugh. She sticks her nose in the air, "Well, maybe I love you too, but I'm not going to tell you if you're just going to be a meanie to me." "You are adorable," You say dismissively, chuckling. "I know," Eve replies, "Now, unless you need me for anything more, //I// need to get back to work." //Wait a minute? Did she just try to imply that I'm keeping her from her chores when just a minute ago she was playing with Gaia?// You don't have time to respond though as she skips away with a sheepish grin on her face. Glancing toward the forest, you wonder again if Gaia might still be watching. You raise your arm and wave just in case she is, then return your attention to what you had been doing before.

Near the treeline, you see Gaia. Her spear is stuck in the ground a few paces away from her and her attention is on something in the tree she is standing in the shadow of. With the flick of her wrist, she throws something, likely a pebble up into the tree. You see something fall from the tree, it takes you a split second to realize that it's a squirrel. Gaia shrieks happily and springs into motion. The squirrel is already in motion, darting toward the nearest tree with Gaia right behind it. Seeing the squirrel dart up the tree, you fully expect Gaia to stop at the base, or maybe throw another rock, but instead she doesn't even slow down, her foot hits the ground just short of the tree and you see her body crouch and spring. You're amazed at the height she achieves. At the apex of her jump her arms flash out to grab the tree. In the blink of an eye her feet make contact with the trunk and her athletic form springs upward a second time. For just a second you wonder if she's going to make it up into the tree's high branches. When she reaches the peak of her jump a second time, she doesn't grab the tree this time, instead she kicks off of the trunk and falls to the ground, landing in a crouch. //She'd be an amazing gymnast.// You reflect. From up in the tree, you can hear the squirrel angrily chittering down at Gaia. She looks up and duplicates the sound almost perfectly as she chitters right back at it. After a minute of this, Gaia giggles then moves back toward her spear with a grin on her face. //Is this what she does for fun?// You have to wonder. She glances in your direction, lifting her hand in greeting, then plucks her spear from the ground and vanishes back into the trees.

You sit near the treeline for quite a while before you come to the conclusion that Gaia isn't coming. //Guess she's off somewhere doing whatever it is she does.

Sitting in the shade of the forested area, you watch the sky as you wait. Eventually you grow impatient, realizing that you've been sitting there for quite a while. Standing up, you look at the forested area, seeing no sign of Gaia anywhere. With a sigh, you rub one of the apples on your shirt to give it a bit more shine, then sit it on the ground before turning and starting to walk away.

You sit down just a little ways away from the trees and raise one of the two apples you grabbed from the kitchen to your lips. Taking a bite, you savor the sweet fruit as you look toward the mansion. //All of this is mine,// You think to yourself, viewing the grounds. After a little while, you take the last couple of bites of your apple, nibbling the last of the fruit from the core before tossing the core into the underbrush. "If you're just lurking out there," You call into the woods, "I brought one for you too. I'll just leave it here for you." Placing the apple on the ground, you make sure it's sitting where Gaia will be able to see it easily before turning and walking away from the forest edge.

Standing up, you make sure the apple you brought for Gaia is where she'll be able to find it easily, then you start wandering back toward the mansion.

You half turn your head toward the motion. Gaia is standing near the forest edge, maybe twenty feet away and moving closer very slowly. Reaching down to where you sat the apples a little while earlier, you hold one of them up. You can see Gaia's eyes flicker between you and the apple several times. Her tongue parts her lips as she looks hungrily at the fruit in your hands. "I suppose you aren't going to come over here and sit with me, are you?" You ask, already knowing the answer. Gaia makes a sound, kind of a growl crossed with a whine. She reaches toward you, but comes no closer. You sigh, then draw back your arm to toss the apple to her. She catches the fruit with ease. You can see a genuine smile on her lips as she looks at the bright red apple. Her lips part as she prepares to take a bite, then she looks at you again. As soon as she sees you looking back, she takes a few steps back before taking a bite. Her eyes never leave yours as she chews on her mouth full of apple. //She really is pretty,// You think as your eyes drift over her naked body. Completely unashamed as she watches you. You aren't sure if you make a motion or if she just decides she isn't happy with how close she is to you, but with no warning she bolts into the trees again. "Hope to see you again soon!" You call after her. After a few seconds, you realize that she's unlikely to return. With a little sigh, you stand up and start walking toward the house again.

The imposing sight gives you pause, but you plod forward one step at a time anyway. You're quite a ways away from her before you see her start to tense up, her spear rising just a little bit in a defensive position. "I brought apples," You say, showing her the apples you are carrying. Her eyes flicker to the apples, then back to your face. You come to a stop where you are standing, then draw back your arm to throw an apple to her. Her eyes lock on the apple, and she takes about three steps toward you in order to catch it one handed. As soon as she does, she looks back at you. Realizing that she's closer to you than before, you can see her expression darken slightly. Her eyes never leave yours as she takes a bite of the apple. "I tell you what," Your words have the immediate effect on her that she stops chewing and her body goes tense, "I have this second apple. I'm willing to give it to you. But I'm not going to throw it so far this time," Even as you say the words, you can tell from her expression that she is completely uncomprehending of their meaning, "I'm going to take a couple more steps toward you, that way I don't have to throw so far this time." //And maybe if I take a couple of steps closer this time, and she doesn't panic, then perhaps next time she won't be //quite// as scared of me next time.// Slow and deliberate, you take a couple of steps toward her. You can't help but think she looks like a deer caught in the headlights. When she starts to shy away from you, you draw back your hand and toss the apple toward her. She has to take a step forward to catch it. The moment the apple touches her hand, a big smile blossoms on her face, then fades significantly as she casts an accusing look toward you. Even through her expression you can still see a bit of the earlier smile lingering though. Showing her that both of your hands are empty, you take a couple of slow steps back from her. Seeing no threat from you, she squats down where she's at, watching you as she eats the apples. When she's finally done, you wave at her, "See you again soon," You say, trying to sound friendly. Dropping the second core on the ground near her feet, you see her rise her arm to wave in return, but her arm pauses, her expression turning accusing. "Almost got you to wave back this time," You say around the smile you're unable to suppress. Gaia takes a couple of steps back, her expression not changing before she pivots and starts walking briskly toward the treeline. You watch her go until you loose sight of her before turning back toward the mansion. [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.trust += 3>><<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

"I was starting to think I wouldn't see you out here today," You say lightly, turning part way toward Gaia. As usual, she's naked with the exception of her makeshift belt and the few items hanging from it. She meets your eyes, then glances meaningfully toward the apple sitting beside you. You pick up the apple, extending your arm toward her, "Here," You say, trying to reassure her. She slinks closer, her movements fluid like a cat as she cautiously approaches. With almost blinding speed, she lunges forward, her hand snapping out to snag the apple from your hand before she takes a couple of rapid steps back. You watch as she takes a bite of the apple, a bit of a smile tugging at her lips. For just a moment, you allow your eyes to drift across her naked body, following the curves of her breasts as you admire her athletic form. Gaia is looking at you oddly, likely wondering about your interest. To avoid answering, you take a bite of your own apple. The two of you eat in silence for a little bit, "I should get back to the mansion, but I enjoy these little moments with you," Even though you say the words, you're certain she doesn't understand them, //I wonder if we could teach her to talk? Is her silence because she simply doesn't know how, or because she cant?// With that thought, you start to stand. An urgent grunt from behind you stops you about half way to your feet. You look at Gaia who's motioning for you to stay. She takes the last couple of bites of apple, her cheeks puffed out from too much food in her mouth, then tosses the core off to the side. As soon as she's done so, she reaches for her belt where the pulls a small bundle free, //Looks like a pouch made out of an old bit of cloth.// Gaia grunts again, getting you to meet her eyes, then makes a kind of cooing sound. Never looking away from you, she opens the pouch and pours the contents onto the ground. You see a hand full of berries spill out onto the ground. Picking up one berry, she puts it in her mouth and chews it. Presumably trying to show you that it's something you can eat. Then she gestures at the pile of berries before moving back. She watches you closely as you move to the pile of berries, picking a couple of them up and looking at them before putting them in your mouth. The firm berries burst in your mouth as you bite down. The sudden tart flavor makes your face pucker and you struggle to not spit them out. Gaia bursts into laughter, a toothy grin on her face. When she sees you chew and swallow what's in your mouth, she bites her lip to stifle her giggles. "Ok, you got a little laugh at my expense," You say around your own smile, "Be careful though, turn about is fair play after all." She tilts her head, her expression quizzical. Then with a little shrug, she turns and walks back into the woods. You watch her go, then turn and head back toward the mansion, leaving the bitter berries where Gaia deposited them on the ground.

The first sign that she's present is the crisp sound of someone biting into an apple a short distance behind you. You turn, seeing Gaia chewing on a mouth full of apple, grinning at you with a pleased expression on her face. "I didn't hear you approach," You mention, realizing that she had gotten close enough to you to pick up the apple sitting near your hip without you even knowing she was there. You stamp down the thought before you can dwell on it long enough for the realization to trouble you, instead you reposition yourself so you can look at her, "I'm glad you came to visit though, it's nice to see you," You say lightly, //It's really hard to carry on a conversation when only one of you talks.// You sigh. Not knowing what else to do, you watch her, absently raising your own apple to your lips for a bite. Without warning, Gaia's head snaps to one side, suddenly alert. Part of you wonders what grabbed her attention so suddenly, but the jiggle of her naked breasts demands far more of your attention in that moment. Raising the apple again, she bites into it, but only hard enough to hold it rather than to take a bite. With both hands free, she pivots, her spear rising as she moves toward the treeline with long practiced movements. You're more than a little impressed at how she can move so quickly without seeming to move at all, and in complete silence at that. //She's hunting,// You realize, //This is how she survived for so long alone.// With a lightning quick movement, she reverses her grip on her spear and throws it with the speed of a coiled snake striking. It's barely left her hand before she's following it, sprinting into the underbrush. For several minutes you sit where you are, wondering if she might return, //I wonder if she caught whatever she was after?// You wonder as you stand.

You offer her one of the apples you brought, holding it up for her. She takes it from your hand, then sits down. Taking a bite of your own apple, you notice that she's sat just inside of arm reach from you, if you really wanted to then you could reach out and touch her. However, the spear she places on the ground between you feels almost like a physical barrier. You can see her glance your direction as she eats the apple, watching you. You're just finishing up your apple when you notice that Gaia is staring at you, her gaze is intense. "What?" You ask, feeling a little self conscious, "Do I have something on my face?" Leaning toward you, you find yourself leaning back to keep a little distance between you. She reaches out with one hand, poking you in the shoulder, then in the cheek. //What the heck is she doing?// You wonder, staying still under her scrutiny. Her eyes never leave yours as she takes your nearly finished apple from your hand, then leans back again. You watch as she nibbles at the remnants of your apple, eating the last of the fruit from the core. Flashing you a smile she picks up her spear and starts to turn. You offer a little wave, a gesture that she awkwardly returns before vanishing into the forest. Standing up, you brush yourself off and cast one last glance at the treeline before starting back toward the mansion.

Turning, you can see Gaia exiting the woods as she walks toward you. Gaia reaches out, snatching the apple you offer her out of your hand then plopping down on the ground directly on front of you. You begin to eat your own apple, but the way she watches your every move gives you pause, "I really wish we could talk. I'd love to know what you're thinking sometimes," You say around a mouth full of apple. She finishes her apple in silence then drops the core beside herself. Her gaze lingers on you however. It's when you take another bite and feel a bit of juice at the corner of your mouth that Gaia acts. When you start to reach up to wipe away the juice, she grunts urgently. You pause mid motion. Gaia leans in close, her eyes flickering between your own and the corner of your mouth where you can feel the juice starting to run down toward your chin. Even closer, she's almost too close to focus on her face when her head dips to one side suddenly. You feel something warm and wet touch the place where the juice is, //Is she licking the juice off my face?// Her tongue tracing up toward your lips. Her tongue reaches the corner of your mouth, then she moves back suddenly. There's a moment where you want to wipe the apple core across your face, just to see what she does, but you resist the urge. Gaia smiles at you as she gets back to her feet. She takes several steps toward the forest before stopping herself. Turning part way toward you, she waves, like the gesture is an afterthought, then turns back toward the trees. You watch her go, admiring her form before you loose sight of her. Afterward, you stand and begin to walk. [[End.|$location]]<<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<set $gaia.affection += 2>><<addtime { minute : 6}>>

You carefully put your arm around Gaia, not wanting to startle her. She stiffens at your touch but doesn't pull away. Instead her head swivels toward you to look at your face like she's trying to figure out what you're doing. After a little while, she seems to relax, scooting just a little closer so her side is pressed against yours. The two of you sit like that for quite a while, then without warning, Gaia springs to her feet, jogs to her spear to pluck it from the ground, then vanishes into the treenline without even looking back.

You look over your shoulder, smiling at her as you do so. Gaia quickly returns the smile as she moves toward you. You find yourself unable to look away as she moves, every motion is fluid and calculated, reminding you of the talented dancers you have sometimes seen on the television. When Gaia reaches you, she sits down right next to you. It's only when she gives a meaningful look at the apples beside you that you realize you were so enthralled in watching her that you have not yet offered her one of the apples you brought. Reaching over, you start to pick up the apple. Gaia reaches out to snatch it from your hand even before you can lift the piece of fruit completely off the ground. In doing so, she half stretches, half falls across your lap. You look down at her, expecting her to sit back up, but instead she simply rolls onto her back, still sprawled across your lap, and begins to eat her apple as she looks up at you. Picking up your own apple, you rise it to your lips and take a bite. With your free hand, you reach out, placing it gently on her side to prevent her from sliding out of your lap. Gaia pauses, her eyes moving down to your hand, then back to your face before smiling. With no further reaction, she continues to eat her apple. Once both of your apples are finished and the cores discarded, Gaia lingers. She remains the way she is, looking up at you the whole while, //If an animal was looking at me like this, I'd think it wanted a treat. Having a person do it is kind of strange though.// She must sense something in your expression, her head tilts to one side, pondering you. "I was just thinking," You say, knowing full well that she doesn't understand a word of it, "That you're a very strange girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that." Moving your hand from her naked side, you reach up to touch her cheek. Smiling contentedly, she leans her face into your palm, seeming to enjoy the touch. Then in a fraction of a second it all changes. You aren't sure what happened, but she rolls out of your lap so quickly that you barely see her move until she's done. She rolls to her feet, somehow coming up with her spear in hand, then bolts at a full run toward the forest. "I wonder what that was about?" You mutter to yourself.

When she gets close enough, you toss an apple to her. She barely even looks at it, her free hand moves, catching the apple with ease even though she barely breaks eye contact. With the apple in hand, she plops down on the ground in front of you, perhaps a dozen paces away, then takes a big bite of the apple, her teeth piercing the fruit coming as a nice crisp sound. Raising your own apple to your lips, you watch Gaia chew the piece of apple, far too much in her mouth to keep her lips around it. While you watch, you're pretty sure you see her smile, but it's difficult to tell with the way her mouth is already stretched around too much apple. You smile at the sight and in that moment Gaia smiles larger, this time touching her eyes and removing any doubt as to whether or not she is smiling. You eat in silence for a little while, then when you're only half way done with your apple, Gaia drops the core of hers and turns her eyes to the half eaten apple in your hand. Her eyes flicker between the apple and your face. "You want the rest of my apple, don't you?" Even without words, you already know the answer, "You're going to have to come and get it," You say, holding the half eaten piece of fruit out toward her. In a single fluid movement, she hops to her feet into a crouched position and begins to rapidly approach with her body held low, her free hand spread just above the grass, and her homemade spear pointed directly at you. With her free hand, she plucks the fruit from your hand then pauses to regard you for a moment, her head tilting to one side like an animal. Then as quick as the moment arrived, she's in motion again and headed toward the trees behind you. You turn toward her, watching her go, the movement of her naked ass entrancing as she walks. And right before she enters the woods, you hear the crisp sound of her taking a bite of your apple. For a few seconds longer you remain seated, then when you see no sign of Gaia returning, you get back to your feet.

Her posture is uneasy and both hands hold her spear, the tip of which is pointed directly at you. "I brought apples," You declare, holding one up for her to see. Even at a distance, you can see her eyes flicker hungrily to the apple in your hand. Watching her, you can see that she's making a sort of circle around you with her path, her fear of you keeping her at bay. Sighing, you draw back your arm. At the same moment, Gaia tenses and raises her spear slightly. Then you throw the apple a little ways in front of her, the entire time it's in the air, her eyes follow it, then when it comes to rest a short distance away from her, she turns her eyes back to you, scowling as she regards you for any sign of treachery. Rather than try to explain yourself, you instead rise the other apple you brought to your lips and take a bite. With impressive speed, Gaia darts suddenly toward the apple, the sudden burst of speed making you think of a startled rabbit. When she passes the apple, she doesn't even slow, she merely stoops one step to the next and snags the apple from the ground, never even breaking stride as she alters course for the treeline again. You watch her go, "Enjoy the apple," You call out, hoping your voice comes off as friendly. Remaining where you are, you finish your apple before tossing the core into the lawn.

Your eyes scan the treeline directly behind you, but you see no source of the sound. Turning back the way you had originally been facing, you almost immediately hear the same sound again. You spin toward the sound a second time, but no matter how hard you look, you can't find the source. Reluctantly, you relax and glance at the pair of apples you have with you, "If that's you Gaia, I have an apple for you," You make your tone friendly as you call into the treeline. When you turn your attention back to where it had been earlier, you //know// you hear a faint giggle from behind you. A third clicking sound fills the air, but this time you resist the urge to turn. A few short seconds pass, then the sound repeats itself. Smiling to yourself, you pretend to not notice. Another click, and this time it sounds closer. Your smile spreads as you continue to wait. Each new clicking sound sounds closer than the last until you can almost hear her just a few paces behind you. Before she can make another sound, you pivot quickly, clicking your tongue loudly as you do so. You're treated by the sight of Gaia barely five paces from you, eyes wide as she jumps in surprise. When her feet hit the ground, she's already pivoting away from you in her flight-or-fight response, her breasts swaying as they follow the rest of her body a fraction of a second behind. Muscles ripple, her ass clenched as she begins to run, but she only makes it a few steps before she seems to realize what she's doing. She slows to a stop just barely outside of the treeline, then turns toward you. A huge grin on her face as she does so. She makes the clicking sound one more time, then looks meaningfully at the apples you are carrying. Smiling, you toss her one which she catches one handed before taking a big bite. Her eyes half close as she enjoys the sweet fruit in her mouth. Still smiling at you, she takes a couple of steps back into the treeline, quickly vanishing into the shelter of the plants and shadows. Looking at the other apple, you rub it against your shirt once, then take a bite of your own, enjoying the fruit as you begin to wander toward the mansion.

You don't have to sit there long before you hear something hidden within the treeline behind you. A minute later you feel something hit your back. Turning toward whatever hit you, you find a pine cone sitting on the grass. You don't even have enough time to fully register what you're seeing before a second one bounces off your head. Looking up quickly, you see an unhappy looking Gaia perched on a branch at the edge of the treeline and an arm full of pine cones. When you see her draw back her arm for another throw, you quickly dodge to one side and pick up one of the pine cones she threw earlier. You quickly throw it at her. You watch the pine cone's arc, realizing almost as soon as it leaves your hand that it's going to fall short of her. Across from you, she watches the pine cone arc through the air, tilting her head to one side as it passes well beneath her. When her eyes return to you, she growls. For the next few seconds, it's Armageddon as she hurls pine cone after pine cone at you with brutal precision. In spite of your best efforts to dodge, at least half of them hit their target. Pivoting toward her, you see that she's on the ground now, all out of pine cones but looking around rapidly for something. Her face seems to light up as she finds a fist sized rock that she quickly picks up with both hands. And all you have to throw back are a pair of apples. Thinking quickly, you raise one of the apples, opening your mouth and baring your teeth as if you're ready to take a big bite out of it, "You throw that rock and I'll eat BOTH of them just to spite you!" There's perhaps a little more heat in your tone than you intended, but it has the desired effect. Her eyes narrow, her expression darkening. But her arms holding the rock seem to relax as well. As you watch, her eyes dart several times between the apple and your face. Very slowly you move your mouth away from the apple, "How about you drop that rock," You look meaningfully at the rock in her hands as you say it, "And I'll give you both of these apples?" She seems to teeter between resuming her assault and dropping the rock. You tense when she screams angrily, her arms straining. For just a split second you think she's going to attack, but instead she throws the rock into the underbrush to her side. "Thank you," You say, and mean it, "I think we've done enough throwing for the time being. I'm going to sit these down for you, then I'll move away from them so you can come get them. Sound fair?" She doesn't reply, but the way her eyes move between your face and the apples you suspect she understands your intent. Crouching, you sit both apples on the ground at your feet, then back away from them. She lets you back away for quite a while before she suddenly darts forward, plucks the two apples up off the ground then strides toward the trees while pointedly not looking at you. "Enjoy the apples," You call after her. A deep throaty growl is the only reply you receive. [[End.|$location]]<<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You've barely crossed half of the back yard before you see Gaia exit the trees heading in your direction. She makes a now common gesture, raising one hand in greeting as she grins. Her eyes linger on your face for only a second before they flicker to the apples in your hand. You wave in return as you continue walking toward her. By the time you reach her, she's at nearly a run, her eyes fixated on the apple in your hand. She lunges at you, her hand reaching out to try snatching the apple from your grasp. Instinctively, you duck to one side in an attempt to avoid her, but she's too quick. She catches your arm, the act half spinning you even as your momentum continues to pull you away from her. In an instant, you're falling, Gaia's grip on your arm bringing her down with you. Even as you fall, her other hand comes around to grasp your wrist, still trying to capture her prize. The two of you go down in a heap, you laying on your back while Gaia is sprawled across you. You start to strain your arm, trying to keep the apple away from her while grinning at her. But then you realize that she's no longer trying to take the apple. When your eyes meet hers, you see a sort of glazed look on her face, her expression vulnerable. For a split second you worry that she might be hurt, but as soon as you try to slip from her grasp to make sure she is ok, her grip tightens and she presses herself more firmly against you. It's only then that you realize where your knee is. Her eyes meet yours as you feel her press her crotch against your knee. The little sound that escapes her lips reminds you of a wounded animal, but the way her hips move, grinding her private place against your knee makes it clear that it's not pain she is experiencing.

You move your hand to her hip, your fingertips trailing across her sin. Gaia's eyes seem to focus, vulnerability fills her eyes as she looks into yours. When your other hand joins the first, she tenses slightly, looking at your hands with uncertainty that seems poised to overwhelm her. For a minute, you simply let your hands drift across her hips, occasionally moving your hips to rub her vagina against your knee. So wrapped up in the sensations coursing through her body, she doesn't seem to notice when you move one hand to the inside of her thigh. It's not until your fingertips near her crotch that things change. Gaia rocks her hips, her eyes half closing as she seems to loose herself in the feelings. Then you finally reach your destination. In the blink of an eye, Gaia's body goes rigid as you brush her clit. She nearly levitates off of you in her haste to stand. Her breath comes quickly, her eyes wild as she looks from your face, to her spear, to your knee. For a long moment she pauses, then as her fear and uncertainty win, she snatches her spear and heads for the treeline. Even as you call after her, she doesn't so much as look back once as she banishes at a trot into the trees.

You remain still, not wanting to spook her. Your eyes remain on her face as her expression seems to go slack, her eyes out of focus as she grinds against your knee slowly. A soft panting sound comes from her lips as she presses herself more firmly against you. <<talk "player">>Gaia,<</talk>>\ You speak softly. The sound of your voice seems to catch her attention, her eyes meeting yours and finally focusing. <<if $gaia.affection gte 950 and $gaia.fear lte 0 and $gaia.trust gte 950>>Without warning, Gaia leans into you, her entire front pressing firmly against you. You instinctively put your arms around her. Gaia sighs softly, her breath hot on your neck as she continues to grind against your knee, her urgency growing by the moment. Then she's shuddering lightly against you, an incredibly feminine whimper spilling from her lips. For a little while, you hold her gently in your arms,listening to her breathing as her breathless gasps settle into normal breathing once more. Without warning, she suddenly pulls back, coming to a crouch just past your feet. Her eyes move from your face to your clearly damp knee, then back to your face before looking down between her legs. With one hand she reaches down, uncertainty in her eyes as her fingers find the wetness between her thighs. You offer what you hops is a reassuring smile. In return, a weak smile ghosts across her features. Snatching up her spear, she starts to turn, clearly intent on disappearing into the forest again. <<talk "player">>Gaia, wait!<</talk>>\ You call after her, snatching up the apple you dropped earlier. The moment she turns back toward you, you toss the apple to her. With practiced ease, she snatches it out of the air with one hand, grins, takes a big bite, then trots off toward the treeline. <<else>>Gaia shifts her hips again, this time uncertainty finds it's way into her features even as she moans softly. Clearly struggling with herself as to what to do, Gaia withdraws. As you watch, Gaia squeezes her legs together in sexual frustration, her eyes flickering between your face, the apple near your hand, and your knee. With startling speed, Gaia snatches her spear, spins it to face you, then thrusts. For one terrifying second you think she's stabbed you, but when she withdraws the spear again, there's an apple pierced on it's end. She plucks the apple off and takes a big bite. As she starts to chew, she looks at your knee again as if it's something alien to her, then spins and starts back toward the treeline. <</if>>[[End.|$location]] <<set $gaia.affection += 3>><<set $gaia.fear -= 5>> <<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

Lowering your knee, you try to squirm away from her. Gaia makes a frustrated sound, trying to hold you in place. For just a second longer the glazed expression remains on her face, then as if just realizing that this situation is somehow different from your usual visits to give her apples, confusion flashes across her features before she quickly pulls away. She takes several quick steps away from you, then two quick steps back. You fear she's about to attack you, but then she snatches up her spear and takes a couple of steps back again. With a throaty huff, her eyes flicker to the apple sitting on the ground near your hand. To your surprise, she makes no move to retrieve the apple and instead turns on her heel to trot back toward the treeline, casting one last uncertain glance back at you before vanishing into the forest. Sighing, you get up, brushing yourself off as you do so. [[End.|$location]] <<set $gaia.affection -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust -= 1>> <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You turn toward a soft sound in the underbrush, wondering what it might be. As soon as you do so, you see a dark form moving swiftly parallel to your own path. //Gaia,// You almost instantly realize. //I wonder if she's trying to keep an eye on me, or if she's just being playful?// [[Call out to her in greeting.|Gaia Interactive Scene 1a]] [[Keep walking.|Gaia Interactive Scene 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 3}>>

<<if $gaia.affection gte 850 and $gaia.fear lte 300 and $gaia.trust gte 800>>"Hello Gaia," You say casually, waving in the general direction of where you had seen her just a moment earlier. There's a giggle from the underbrush, then she materializes as if by magic from a nearby grouping of bushes. The smile on her face touches her eyes in a way that makes her look pleased. Without pause, she moves toward you, bumping her shoulder against you on purpose as she reaches your side. "It's nice to see you too," You say, putting an arm around her affectionately as you continue to walk. From your position, you can see her look at your arm. You wonder for a moment what her expression might be. After just a brief glance at your arm, she turns her gaze toward the trail the two of you are walking without a protest. The two of you walk like that for some time, her seemingly happy in your presence, and you enjoying the time as well. Without warning, she pulls away with a sudden motion that startles you. Her eyes flicker to one side, then she starts running in that direction. She's only a couple of steps off of the trail when she pivots toward you, waves quickly, then vanishes into the trees. //I wonder if I'll ever really understand her.// Shaking your head to yourself, you return to your walk. <<set $gaia.affection += 2>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 14}>><<elseif $gaia.fear lte 350 and $gaia.trust gte 750>>"Hello Gaia," You say casually, waving in the general direction of where you had seen her just a moment earlier. A moment later she comes trotting out of the woods and on to the trail very close to where you're walking. Without pause, she moves toward you, bumping her shoulder against you on purpose as she reaches your side before taking a quick step away from you so there's no risk of accidentally touching her as the two of you walk. "Nice to see you too," You reply. She glances toward you, then returns her attention to the trail. //I wonder what she is thinking right now?// You wonder to yourself. Beside you, she has a content expression on her face as she walks. Without warning, she steps away with a sudden motion that startles you. Her eyes flicker to one side, then she starts running in that direction. She's only a couple of steps off of the trail when she glances back at you before vanishing into the trees. //I wonder if I'll ever really understand her.// Shaking your head to yourself, you return to your walk. <<set $gaia.affection += 2>><<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<set $gaia.trust += 2>><<addtime { minute : 14}>><<elseif $gaia.fear lte 500 and $gaia.trust gte 600>>"Hello Gaia," You say casually, waving in the general direction of where you had seen her just a moment earlier. A moment later she comes trotting out of the woods and on to the trail very close to where you're walking. She seems a little wary, but she falls in step beside you, walking with you at arms length. "Nice to see you," You say to her. She glances toward you, then returns her attention to the trail. //I wonder what she is thinking right now?// You wonder to yourself. Beside you, she has a content expression on her face as she walks. Without warning, she steps away with a sudden motion that startles you.

You're past the place you saw her before she slips from the undergrowth. If you hadn't been watching for it, you'd have never seen her slip up behind you. She matches your pace, remaining far enough behind that you can't see her clearly. //It's like she wants to be near me, but she's still too wary to trust being close to me.// You humor, remaining silent while she walks with you. A little while later you turn toward where she's been walking not sure what you are hoping to accomplish, but wanting to be sure she knows you've noticed her. The place behind you is empty. //I didn't even hear her leave.// Shaking your head to yourself, you return to your walk. <<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 7}>><<else>>"I know you're out there," You try to keep your tone light and playful.

Shrugging to yourself, you return to your walk. <<addtime { minute : 4}>><</if>>[[Continue.|$location]]

Smiling to yourself, you keep walking without really acknowledging her. After a couple more minutes, there's a louder sound in the underbrush, followed by another a few seconds later. Each time you make a conscious effort not to look at her. This continues for a while before the forest falls quiet around you once more. //She must have wandered off when she wasn't able to get a rise out of me.// [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 7}>>

There's a chirping sound from behind you. It sounds like a bird, but it's far too close. Surprised, you turn toward the sound. Less than a dozen paces behind you is Gaia, "I didn't hear you sneaking up on me," You say. Gaia looks back with an amused look on her face, like she understands what you mean even if she doesn't grasp the words. Seeing her standing before you, naked and completely unashamed, you are unable to resist the urge to look at her body. Your eyes drift from her eyes, down the curve of her neck and across her collar, when you reach her pert breasts, your eyes linger on the perfect globes of flesh with their dark and prominent nipples. When your eyes drift further downward, you trail over her smooth belly toward the cleft between her legs, shrouded in dark curly hair. Then you start back up her body, your eyes lingering in all the same places. When you meet her eyes once more, there's a serious yet thoughtful expression on her face. You watch as she reaches up, poking her breast with one finger a couple of times, then singling out her nipple to poke it next. As she does so, her eyes flicker between her breast and your chest. She moves so quickly you take an involuntary half step back. Her hand holding her spear thrusts the point into the ground to leave it sticking upright out of the ground, then as if it is a single motion she closes the distance between the two of you. She stops just outside of arm's reach, then pokes her breast again while looking at your chest, her eyes narrowing. With a single quick step, she's mere inches from you, her eyes on yours. It's almost as if she thinks her gaze alone should be enough to find answers to some unknown question. Her movements are slow enough that you can see what she's doing, her hands coming up as she reaches for your shirt. [[Stop her.|Gaia Interactive Scene 2a]] [[Allow her to continue.|Gaia Interactive Scene 2b]]<<addtime { minute : 3}>>

Not quite sure what she has planned, but not comfortable with where things are headed, you reach up with both hands and to take hold of her own. Gaia's expression pinches as she looks at your hands enveloping hers. Her hard gaze lingers on her hands, then flickers up to meet your eyes. She pulls away from you so suddenly that you don't have time to react. With two quick steps back, she puts distance between the two of you, her lip curled in displeasure. Pivoting on the ball of her foot, she strides to her spear, plucks it from the ground, then starts off at a jog toward the treeline. //Well, that was weird.// [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.affection -= 1>><<set $gaia.fear += 2>><<addtime { minute : 3}>>

Gaia touches your shirt, her fingertips feeling delicate as they brush against you. Her head tilts to one side, then her eyes raise to meet yours. With both hands, she grabs your shirt and pulls, splitting the front open in a single motion. Your pulse suddenly roars in your ears, your body tensing. A second smaller tug exposes your chest to her gaze. Her eyes are clearly focused on your freshly exposed flesh. With one finger, she pokes your nipple, then the area around it. Each touch seems to deepen her frown of confusion. [[Stop her.|Gaia Interactive Scene 2c]] [[Let her continue.|Gaia Interactive Scene 2d]] [[Poke her back.|Gaia Interactive Scene 2e]]<<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 2}>>

Reaching up, you take hold of Gaia's hand, preventing her from jabbing a finger into your chest again. Her expression turns to a scowl, followed by a faint growl deep in her throat. Pulling her hand away, she steps back from you. She pauses, meeting your eyes for a second then pivoting on the ball of her foot, plucking her spear from where she had stuck it in the ground, and starts toward the treeline at a brisk pace. //She clearly understands that something is different about me compared to herself or the girls,// You sigh, //I wish I knew what she was thinking.// [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.affection -= 1>><<set $gaia.fear += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4}>>

You make no action to stop her even though she is poking your chest with her finger hard enough to hurt just a little. After a couple of minutes, she pinches your nipple. "Hey!" You say, as much in surprise as from the pain. The smile on Gaia's face is gone almost as quick as it appears. At the same time, she steps closer, the few inches that separate the two of you vanishing as you feel her naked breasts press against your chest. At her height, she's looking you right in the eye without the need to crane her neck. Her eyes seem to search yours for something, her expression is comically serious as she does so. She snorts, the sound making you think of how a dog sometimes makes the sound after sniffing something. Then just as quickly as she approached, she steps back a couple of paces to put some distance between the two of you. She glances over her shoulder toward her spear, pivots, then snatches the weapon from where she had stuck it in the ground. She's barely gone a half dozen paces before she looks over her shoulder at you, waving with her free hand before continuing toward the treeline. //She clearly understands that something is different about me compared to herself or the girls,// You sigh, //I wish I knew what she was thinking.// [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.fear += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4}>>

Smiling to yourself, you reach out and poke her back with a single finger, right on the nipple. Gaia's eyes go wide with surprise, her breath quickening. Slowly, she pokes at your chest again. You do the same to her after a moment's hesitation. Her eyes lock on yours, like she expects the sheer intensity of her gaze to hold your own. Very slowly, she reaches out and cups your chest, giving it a squeeze instead of a poke this time. Before you stop to think about what you're doing, you cup her breast and give it a gentle caress. Gaia pulls back suddenly, jerking away from your touch. A sudden surge of adrenaline makes your heart race. You wonder for a split second if she's going to attack you, but then you see the grin on her face. As you watch, she reaches up to the breast you just touched, giving it a squeeze of her own. Her smile lingers as she pivots, striding to her spear to pluck it from where it's sticking up out of the ground, turns and waves with her free hand, then starts walking toward the treeline. Several times as she walks, you can see her glance toward you. You sigh, //I wonder if I'll ever understand that woman?// [[Continue.|$location]]<<set $gaia.affection += 3>><<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<addtime { minute : 4}>>

Back Yard East Yard West Yard Forest

There's a blur of motion ahead of you, something large crashing out of the underbrush, crossing the trail, and vanishing on the other side before you can even turn your attention to it. //What was that?// Pausing, you look to both sides of the trail in an effort to figure out what just crossed your path, but not seeing any sign of it. With a shrug, you continue to walk. You haven't made it much further than twenty paces before the same thing happens, only this time you briefly glimpse the form, //Gaia,// You consider calling out to her, but realize that doing so would likely be a waste of breath, //I wonder what she's up to?// The third time it happens, your eyes are forward and you catch full sight of the young woman, clothed only in her narrow belt and with her spear in hand, dart across the trail in front of you and vanish to the other side. [[Continue walking.|Gaia Interactive Scene 3a]] [[Play a little trick on her.|Gaia Interactive Scene 3b]] [[Turn back.|Gaia Interactive Scene 3c]]<<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

Continuing to walk down the trail, Gaia's little game continues, each time she bursts from the underbrush she's just a little closer to you than the time before until she finally charges out barely an arm's length in front of you. Cautiously, you continue down the path. If she continues like she has up to this point, then she's almost certainly going to crash right into you, so you keep your guard up. You pass the point where you expect to see her again, then continue even further. After a few more minutes you start to relax, but at the same time you have to wonder to yourself, //Did she just get bored? I don't think I'm ever going to understand that woman.// [[End.|$location]]<<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<addtime { minute : 18 }>>

Smirking to yourself, you count off the seconds before you expect to see her appear again, then just a couple of seconds before you expect her to burst from the brush you dart forward so that you're directly in her path. In that same instant, Gaia lunges from the brush with a look of excitement on her features. But the expression is short lived. The second she sees you, her expression turns to panic, her feet skidding on the path as she comes to a halt. Her face is only inches from your own when she finally comes to a stop. A deep hiss escapes her lips, her breath hot on your face and smelling faintly of berries. Before you can say or do anything in response, she scrambles backward into the bushes again. You can see her making a headlong rush away from you, and even after you loose sight of her you can still hear her moving away. //I think I startled her,// Part of you is pleased by the thought, but at the same time you hope that the experience didn't upset her too badly.

Turning, you start back the way you came. You've gone about a dozen paces when you hear a shrill bird sound behind you. You half turn toward the sound, seeking Gaia standing in the trail watching you, a serious expression on her face. Raising one hand, you wave at her, but then turn and continue to walk away. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Forested area only.

You're just approaching the pond when you hear a splash. Your head pivots toward the sound. There are large ripples spreading out from a point of water, but you don't see it's source until Gaia's head bursts from the water. Her hands come up, brushing her hair back while removing the bulk of the water from her face. However, since she's facing away from you, she doesn't notice your presence just yet. You watch her for a moment, then your eyes turn to a place on the sand where she had discarded her spear and belt.

Your own smile triggering a fresh smile on her face as well. For quite a while, you watch her swim, her naked body in the crystal clear water giving you tantalizing glimpses at her nude form. Eventually, she seems to tire of showing off and swims toward shore, walking up onto the beach with no shame. You watch as her breasts sway naturally from side to side, her nipples hard from the cool water Barely paying you any mind, she reaches for her belt, fastening it around her hips then plucking her spear from the sand where she had thrust it.

<<if $gaia.affection gte 800 and $gaia.fear lte 100 and $gaia.trust gte 800>>You walk over near the dock and start to take your clothes off; shirt, shoes, and you're just reaching for your belt when Gaia notices you. She smiles, then lifts a hand out of the water to wave at you. Her expression is curious as she watches you remove your clothes one article at a time, her eyes fixating on your penis as it comes into view. As she looks, her expression becomes slightly more guarded. "I hope that you don't mind me joining you. I think it's important that you spend time around people," You struggle to figure out what more to say, "Spending time with the girls and myself, I'm hoping that in time you'll," Again you struggle to find the right words, even though you doubt she knows the difference, "I just want you to not have to be afraid of us." Once naked, you wade out into the water. The moment the cold water touches your genitals, you tense up, a gasp escaping your lips before you ease yourself the rest of the way in. From a little ways off, Gaia giggles at your reaction. "I can't help it, it's cold," You say in your defense, though she shows no sign of understanding what you just said. When the water reaches your shoulders, you push off of the bottom and swim out a little ways. Gaia swims nearby, circling you with a little smile on her face. //She's a good swimmer, fast in the water and graceful. I wonder if she was taught how to swim when she was little, or if she learned on her own?// You wonder, realizing that it's a mystery you're likely never going to learn the answer to. The whole while you swim, you playfully try to catch her while she manages to stay just out of reach at every turn. After a while, Gaia swims to you with a surprising suddenness. She reaches out, her eyes intense as her hand touches your face. She treads water closer, inching toward you until you feel her breasts brush against your chest. Her eyes are mere inches from you. Some part of you wants to learn forward and kiss her, but you resist the urge. She leans closer, until you fan feel her breath on your lips, her eyes unblinking as she seems to gaze into your soul. There's just enough time to start wondering what she's going to do next when you feel your penis brush against her belly, growing in size as the suddenly sexually charged situation lingers. She's too close to you to see her lips, but you know she smiles from the way her smile tugs at the muscles around her eyes. You gasp softly when you feel one of her hands brush your belly, then drift downward toward your cock where she touches it. With no warning, she lets go of your penis. Her hands both come up out of the water at once and grabs you by the shoulders. The last thing you see before she pushes you under the water is the grin on her face. You come up a second later sputtering, the air filled with the sound of her laughter. Turning toward the sound you see her already half way to shore. In the second that follows, you begin to swim toward the shore in her wake. About the time that you feel your feet touch the sandy bottom of the pond, you see Gaia shake her head from side to side, her tangled hair thrashing and sending water in every direction, //Shaking her head like a dog,// You can't help but smile just a little at the sight. The moment her belt, a small number of makeshift pouches and other items dangling from it, is strapped around her hips once more, she plucks her spear from where she'd thrust it into the sand. She pivots toward you, a warm smile on her face that just touches her eyes, waves at you then darts for the treeline. You raise your own hand by reflex, but she never looks back. Just before she reaches the trees, you call after her, "It was fun swimming with you. I hope to see you again soon." //I wonder if I'll ever understand her.// When you finally reach shore, you wait a few minutes until you've mostly dried before putting your clothes back on. <<set $gaia.affection += 2>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 28}>><<elseif $gaia.fear lte 350 and $gaia.trust gte 750>>You walk over near the dock and start to take your clothes off, shirt, shoes, and you're just reaching for your belt when Gaia notices you. Her expression holds more curiosity than anything else as she lifts a hand out of the water to wave at you. Her expression is curious as she watches you remove your clothes one article at a time, her eyes fixating on your penis as it comes into view. As she looks, her expression darkening visibly. "I hope that you don't mind me joining you. I think it's important that you spend time around people," You struggle to figure out what more to say, "Spending time with the girls and myself, I'm hoping that in time you'll," Again you struggle to find the right words, even though you doubt she knows the difference, "I just want you to not have to be afraid of us." Once naked, you wade out into the water. The moment the cold water touches your genitals, you tense up, a gasp escaping your lips before you ease yourself the rest of the way in. From a little ways off, Gaia lets out a quick giggle at your reaction. "I can't help it, it's cold," You say in your defense, though she shows no sign of understanding what you just said. When the water reaches your shoulders, you push off of the bottom and swim out a little ways. Gaia swims nearby, circling you with a little smile on her face. //She's a good swimmer, fast in the water and graceful. I wonder if she was taught how to swim when she was little, or if she learned on her own?// You wonder, realizing that it's a mystery you're likely never going to learn the answer to. The whole while you swim, you playfully try to catch her while she manages to stay just out of reach at every turn. After a while, she drifts a bit further away from you, regarding you severely before smiling faintly. With no further warning, she turns and begins to swim toward the shore. A moment later you follow. About the time that you feel your feet touch the sandy bottom of the pond, you see Gaia shake her head from side to side, her tangled hair thrashing and sending water in every direction, //Shaking her head like a dog,// You can't help but smile just a little at the sight.

"I can't help it, it's cold," You say in your defense, though she shows no sign of understanding what you just said. When the water reaches your shoulders, you push off of the bottom and swim out a little ways. Gaia swims a short distance away, circling you while watching you as if you trying to make sense of you. //She's a good swimmer, fast in the water and graceful.

The whole while you swim, you playfully try to catch her while she manages to stay well out of reach at every turn. After a while, she drifts a bit further away from you, regarding you severely before nodding to herself. With no further warning, she turns and begins to swim toward the shore. A moment later you follow. About the time that you feel your feet touch the sandy bottom of the pond, you see Gaia shake her head from side to side, her tangled hair thrashing and sending water in every direction, //Shaking her head like a dog,// You can't help but smile just a little at the sight. The moment her belt, a small number of makeshift pouches and other items dangling from it, is strapped around her hips once more, she plucks her spear from where she'd thrust it into the sand.

When the water reaches your shoulders, you push off of the bottom and swim out a little ways. As soon as you are fully in the water, she angles herself toward shore, keeping plenty of distance between you and herself. When her feet reach the sandy beach, she glances over her shoulder at you. You can see how unsettled your presence has made her. But as soon as she sees that you aren't following, she slows slightly, still watching you closely as she approaches her things. //I should stay out here until she'd ready to go, if I try to swim to shore right now it may upset her further.// She ties her belt in place quickly, then plucks the spear from the ground. She only makes it a few steps toward the treeline before she pauses, turning her attention to you again. You continue swimming, careful not to go closer to shore, //It would make me feel better if I was too far away to throw that spear at too.// For a long time she watches you, her eyes wary and alert. You're just starting to feel tired from swimming when she turns and moves toward the trees. She glances back once, her pace brisk but not alarmed. "See you again soon," You call after her, feeling the need to say something. Once she's out of sight, you swim back to shore, sitting on the edge of the dock while you drip dry before dressing yourself again. <<set $gaia.fear -= 2>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 15}>><</if>>[[End.|$location]]

Pond location. Warmer months. Daytime. Any relationship.

As you set foot onto the forest trail, it suddenly dawns on you how… different… the forest looks at night. By day, the light of the sun shines through the canopy, painting a beautiful canvas of greens and browns. With the sun having dipped below the horizon, the canopy blocks out the light of the stars and even the moon, casting everything into shadows. Worse, tonight an eerie fog has rolled in, tendrils of mist weaving through the tree trunks - rendering your handy flashlight next to useless and making the trail difficult to follow. Somewhere overhead an owl hoots, and you jump at the sound, heart pounding. You’re already on-edge from the darkness, but if you turn back now Eve will undoubtedly tease your lack of courage… not that you’ve ever seen her brave the forest after dark. The mist makes things worse, obscuring the underbrush and anything that might be lurking in it. //Not that there’s anything particularly dangerous in the woods… right?// You’ve seen rabbits and the occasional deer flitting through the underbrush, but it’s not like there’s wolves or bears or other carnivorous beasts… A branch snaps somewhere in the distance, something rustling in the underbrush. “Who’s there?” you call out, brandishing your flashlight… just as the bulb flickers and goes out. The seconds it takes for your vision to adjust to the absolute darkness seem to stretch on for hours, and you can feel your heart quicken. //Somethings out there…// You can feel it watching you. “H-hello?” You hate the stammer in your voice. It makes you sound weak and timid, when you should be strong and intimidating. You turn around, eyes scanning the mist, which is getting thicker… and that’s when you realize you’ve lost sight of the trail. //Oh no… no, no, no, no!// You look around wildly, but there’s no sign of the path. It’s like the forest is trying to trap you, the trees shifting in your peripheral vision. //Come on, keep it together!// You vaguely recall hearing that if you’re lost in the woods you should stay put and wait for someone to come rescue you, but it could be hours before Anna thinks to search the forest… if at all given her aversion to it even in the daylight. In all likelihood Eve will be the one to find you by sneaking out into the woods. “Well…” you mutter to yourself, “at least I’ll be able to catch her red-handed shirking her chores…” and that’s when you see it. A shadow flitting between the trees, like a ghost. The sudden chill that runs down your spine has nothing to do with the mist or the evening air. //Eve mentioned that Uncle used to take girls out into the woods, never to be seen again…// You swallow dryly. Could the forest be haunted by their restless, vengeful spirits? “No, that’s absurd. There’s no such thing as gh-“ The shadow again, in your peripheral vision. A cold breeze stirs the mist, and you can almost hear the whispers, see bony fingers reaching out from unmarked graves… //No! There’s no such thing as ghosts, dammit!// “Anna? Eve? Is that you?” You call out, but there’s no reply. “Come on, this isn’t funny!” Silence… no, not quite. You can faintly hear something moving… stalking… hunting… “Where is it…?” You turn, trying to get a bead on it, but the mist is too thick. //Dammit! Dammit! Where is it? Where did it go?!// You glance about for any sign of movement… and then slowly look up. You can barely make out the silhouette amidst the shadows, crouched low and obscured by the foliage and branches. //Fuck me.// Acting on reflex, you hurl yourself away from the tree as the silhouette drops down and lands in a crouch where you were standing only a second before. You have only a split second to act before it recovers and attacks… [[Fight!|Submitted Gaia 1a]] [[Flight!|Submitted Gaia 1b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You flail wildly at your attacker, but your uncoordinated blows are easily deflected and before you can process what’s happening you’re knocked back by a powerful blow that drives the air from your lungs. Sprawled in the dirt, something sharp presses into your chest. A dark silhouette towers over you, teeth bared in a snarl and a spear aimed at your heart. “Wait! Please don’t-” You scream, bracing yourself for death… and then the spear withdraws as recognition flares in the silhouette’s eyes. “Gaia…?” Relief floods through you and you can’t help but let out a nervous laugh. Gaia frowns and tilts her head at you, no doubt looking for apples, then huffs when she doesn’t see any. Hefting her spear, she turns to leave, but her annoyed expression fades as something clicks, replaced with a look of realization and concern. Planting her spear, Gaia drops into a crouch, her bare breasts swaying with the movement, and you notice her nipples are hard in the chill air. //What am I thinking…?// Gaia circles you, prodding and sniffing in an apparent effort to ensure you’re unharmed. Hr breath tickles the back of your neck, making you shudder as she passes behind you. Evidently satisfied you’re in one piece, she grips her spear and rises to her feet… leaving you looking up at her. Wreathed in the mist and the faint moonlight, naked as the day she was born, you could almost mistake her for her namesake. Then she reaches a hand towards you and you clasp it. Her powerful grip and arm-muscles make it clear that in a one-on-one fight there’s no way you could win against her. For a moment you’re overcome with the urge to hug her, but if she takes it the wrong way - as an act of aggression - you could find yourself sprawled on the ground again, with Gaia and your last chance to find your way home vanishing into the mist. “Do… do you know the way back to the manor?” Gaia frowns at you, and you mentally kick yourself. //How could I forget she doesn’t understand me?// Reaching out, she takes your hand and squeezes it, offering you what’s likely meant to be a reassuring smile, and then sets off into the mist, tugging you along after her. Gaia moves at a brisk pace, and you struggle somewhat to keep up with her. //How can she tell where we’re going? Does she even…// your mouth falls open in a sigh of relief as the mist parts and you see the manor on the other side of the lawn. Gaia squeezes you hand once before letting go, and you turn to thank her - possibly offer to let her come in and warm up, have something to eat, spend the night safe and warm in one of the guest rooms… but she’s already gone. //Just like a ghost…// the thought makes you shudder, and you turn and jog back to the manor before you can dwell on it any further.

You turn and flee, blindly crashing through the underbrush and stumbling over protruding roots and bushes. Thorns and brambles slash at you, but you press onwards, driven by a blind panic. You have no clue where you’re going, except away from the shadow hunting you. You only catch faint glimpses of it as you look over your shoulder, a dark blur moving through the branches overhead, or darting between the trees. Your chest burns for oxygen, but you keep moving even though your body screams at you to just give up and accept the inevitable. The trees suddenly part and you find yourself scrambling across patchy grass that gives way to sand. //Is this… the lake?// You cast around for any sign of the shed. If you can make it there, you can barricade yourself inside, arm yourself… Something snatches at you and you leap blindly… but before you realize what’s happening you’re falling. Vertigo punts your stomach into your throat, but before you can even scream cold, murky water engulfs you. The cold darkness robs you of your sense of direction and you flail blindly, kicking in an effort to reach the surface. Slimy tendrils caress your legs, and you can’t help but picture the bones of murdered slaves, picked clean by fish save for scraps of hair and clothes. //No! There’s nothing down here! Just water-weeds! No bodies…!// You kick desperately, but you’re not going to make it. Your chest burns, but your next breath will be your last, filling your lungs with deadly water. //Anna… Eve… everyone… I’m sorry…// Strong hands seize you roughly, a muscular arm hooking around your chest, and you dimly feel something soft squish against your back. Then… //Air!// You inhale desperately, coughing and choking. You’re hauled ashore, the night air suddenly frigid against your soaked skin, and turn your head to see a dark figure kneeling nearby, soaking wet. //Gaia…? Then she was the one…// you almost want to laugh, but there’s still some water in your lungs. “Saved me… Thank… you…” you manage to cough. She turns her head to scowl at you, no doubt unimpressed by your earlier behavior, but you can see concern in her eyes, and she’s shivering too. “Are you… alright?” You cough again, but manage to sit up. You reach out and touch her shoulder, trying not to stare at the water droplets sensually beading across her skin. “You’re cold…” She jumps at your touch, but doesn’t shy away. //We need to get warm before we get hypothermia…// [[Build a fire.|Submitted Gaia 1c]] [[Share body heat.|Submitted Gaia 1d]] Submitted by Asura <<set $location to "pond">><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

“We need to make a fire.” You speak through chattering teeth, trying to remember all the possible ways of lighting a fire. Focusing sunlight through a magnifying glass is right out, and you have zero confidence in your ability to rub two sticks together hard enough for friction to do its thing. Wondering if Gaia has any flint tucked away inside her pouches, you consider reaching towards them, but you don’t want her to get the wrong idea. She stares at you with an inquisitive frown, not comprehending until you point at her pouches. Her fingers fumbling slightly, she pulls out a more-than slightly squashed handful of berries, some small nuts, a bird skull, a chunk of a sharp-edged gray stone - small but serviceable. As you take it, trying to avoid slicing your hand on its edges, Gaia darts off into the mist and returns with a rusty metal trowel. //Where did she-// “Ah, the shed…” It would make a decent enough shelter, all things considered, but you don’t want to burn it to the ground by accident. Heaving a sigh, you scrounge for dry wood and scraps of grass to use as fuel, piling what little you find on the beach. Gaia returns hauling a half-rotted log, smashing it into chunks as you work at getting the fire lit. It takes more than a few strikes and you narrowly avoid cutting yourself several times, but finally the sparks catch. Gently, you blow into the wispy yellow-orange flame, encouraging it to grow larger and hotter. Carefully, you feed it more wood, Gaia darting off to fetch more as you arrange the chunks of rotten log. Once the fire has reached a comfortable size, you sit back and wait for Gaia to return. She settles next to you, surprisingly close, and leans against you with a sigh. You hold your hands out to the flame, letting the heat caress them, and she cautiously imitates your movement. “Careful you don’t burn yours-“ you hiss in pain as a spark shoots from the fire, right into your hand. “Ow!” Gaia makes a cooing noise, amusement and concern warring on her face as she pulls your hand towards her and examines it. “No… I’m… I’m fine. It just stings a little…” You pull your hand back and suck on the burn, grimacing. Your clothes are still sodden, so you remove your shirt and lay it out near the flames to let it dry. You struggle to remove your pants, the wet fabric bunching awkwardly. As you kick them off, you notice your underpants have come off with them… and turn to shoot a glance at Gaia. “Oops…” The intensity of Gaia’s gaze makes you blush, the dark-skinned girl leaning forward to get a better look; but there’s no lust or arousal in her gaze, just curiosity. “Umm… hey, my eyes are up here.” It’s a lame joke, especially considering all the times you’ve ogled her bare breasts and labia, which even now are in full view… your penis twitches against your palms and you grimace. //Not now!// You avert your gaze from Gaia’s body up to the night sky, where the moon is shining through a halo of clouds. Fingers prod you back and you look down to see that Gaia is circling around you, drinking in the unfiltered view of the male anatomy and occasionally looking down at her own body with a confused expression. Her fingers ghost across you chest before cupping her breasts, though she seems pleased that her abdomen is more muscular than yours. She tugs at your hands, trying to get a look at the one part of your anatomy you’ve concealed from her, and you think about all the times you’ve stared at her. //Turnabout is fair play, I guess…//Heaving a sigh, you lower your hands, hoping against hope that your penis will behave for once and not get an erection. This is neither the time or place for such things, but… //Dammit… how do people on nudist beaches manage this?// For a moment you’re almost tempted to say “You can look but not touch,” but there’s no point. “Ah…!” Gaia is crouching in front of you, eye-level with your penis and so close you can feel her breath on it. Then she recoils with a shocked expression as the thing you were dreading occurs and your flagpole starts to rise. Grimacing, you crouch and sit next to the fire. If you don’t think about it, it’ll go down in a minute or two… hopefully From the corner of your eye you see Gaia staring at you, the rusty trowel in one hand and the other reaching for where she set her spear down. “It’s OK, Gaia.” You keep your tone gentle and reassuring, the look of alarm reminding her of when she was still getting used to you. “I’m not… I’d never hurt you. You know that by now, right?” You pat the sand next to you. Curiosity ultimately wins over caution and she slowly moves towards you, edging around to get a better look at your penis. This close to an attractive, naked girl, your hard-on’s not going down any time soon, so you resign yourself to it and thank whatever powers that be that you have more self-control and decency than a thousand of your Uncles combined. Gaia slowly settles next to you, still staring at your penis with wide eyed fascination. For a moment you almost consider taking advantage of her obvious naivety, but… //No. I’m not that kind of man. If I do have sex with Gaia, it’ll be when she’s ready for it.// Slowly, painstakingly, your erection subsides - Gaia murmuring to herself as she watches your penis go flaccid. [img[images/scenes/BeachPit.png]] You and Gaia settle into a comfortable if a little awkward silence, only getting up to add more fuel to the fire. Eventually she dozes off, slumped against your shoulder, and it strikes you just how much trust this woman - who was terrified and revolted by you not long ago - is placing in you. Sighing, you gently lay Gaia down on the ground, careful not to wake her, and drape your fire-warmed and mostly-dry jacket across her body to serve as a blanket. She twitches in her sleep and rolls over partway, and you avert your gaze from her exposed vulva as your penis instinctively twitches. Checking that your underwear and pants are dry, you shake as much sand out of them as you can and put them on. Yawning, you settle back to see that Gaia is watching you, and smile reassuringly. “Sorry if I woke you up.” You yawn again and she responds in kind, then sits up, noticing your jacket for the first time. “Keep it for now. You might get cold again.” You yawn a third time, and it strikes you just how tired you are. “Keep watch?” You murmur, your eyes finally closing.

“We need to s-share body h-heat…” you stammer through chattering teeth. You know enough that this isn’t optimal, especially not when wet, but it’s better than nothing. Drops of rain begin to fall from the overcast sky, and you grimace. //We need to find shelter from this… aha! The shed!// Finding the shed is easier said than done, but Gaia seems to get the gist of what you’re looking for and tugs your sleeve, indicating you to follow her. The inside of the shed isn’t much warmer than the outside, but at least it’s drier. //Lighting a fire’s out of the question… we’d burn the place down…// Groping blindly in the dark, you locate a spare lantern and manage to get it working - providing you and Gaia with some light. Hurriedly, you remove your sodden clothes before they can chill you any further, but just as you slip out of your underwear you remember you have company of the opposite sex. Gaia is staring at your thankfully flaccid member with wide eyed fascination that’s almost childlike. She's obviously not used to seeing penises. That strikes you as obvious, what with her living out in the wild, all by herself. //Then she probably has no idea what sex is…// Somewhere deep inside you, the disturbing thought arises that you could easily take advantage of her naivety and curiosity… but you immediately squash it, sickened that such a thing even occurred to you. //No! I’m not the monster my uncle was!// You suddenly feel a pang of guilt for having ogled her… and though she’s currently returning the favor there’s no lust in her gaze. Shaking your head in disgust at yourself, you clench your fist and resolve yourself to a solemn oath. //If I have sex with Gaia, it’ll be when she’s ready for it.// Sighing, you glance around the shed for towels and something to use as a bedroll. //Nothing. Dammit…// Turning to Gaia, who is still staring at you, you frown. //How are we going to do this...?// Lying front-to-front is just asking for trouble and therefore out of the question, as is lying with her back to your front. You wince at the sudden lurid mental images that pop up, all of which would logically end with Gaia breaking you like a twig. “I guess it’s your front to my back…” You shiver again, wondering how you’ll convey this information to Gaia - especially since her attention is still focused on your penis. You whistle and she jumps at the shrill sound, looking around in alarm before realizing you were the one who made the sound and frowning, making an irritated growl in her throat. “Sorry, but I need you to pay attention.” You keep your tone soothing and try to pantomime your idea, having no clue if she gets it. Finally, you shrug and just lie down on the floor, patting the wood directly behind you. There’s no response, and you roll over to find yourself on Gaia’s feet with an unobstructed view of her pussy as she stands over you, still staring at your penis… which promptly swells with blood and pops up like a fleshy jack-in-the-box. Gaia gasps in surprise, then slowly, tentatively crouches and reaches out to touch it. Part of you - the part that has your gaze fixated on the lips of her vulva just below her pubic hair - very much wants to let her, to show her how to give a proper handjob and maybe go even further… but with a Herculean effort you tear your gaze away from her and intercept her hand just before it reaches her target. Gaia jolts, turning to look at you with a confused expression; and you gently shake your head, motioning for her to lie down beside you. Confusion bleeding into wariness, Gaia frowns but slowly complies, and you shift her arm to drape across your chest. Slowly, she edges closer - drawn by your body heat - and before long you feel the soft mounds of her breasts press into your shoulder blades, her nipples hardened by the cold air. As your slowly dwindling erection flares to life again, you grimace. The urge to role over and take Gaia by surprise - a death wish if there ever was one - flares up again, like a shadow of your depraved Uncle. //No! I’m not like him, and I never will be!// Your fingers twitch, tempting you to rub one out, but you suppress the urge. //If I leave it alone it’ll go away on its-// Gaia shuffles closer, veritably spooning you now. You can feel her breath against your neck, her six-pack against your lower back, her pubic hair against your buttocks as she hooks one of her legs around yours… //This is maddening!// Gaia’s hand slips lower, fingers ghosting across your abs towards your crotch, and for a long moment you’re tempted to just let her touch you. //Is she awake or asleep?! Does she even know what she’s doing?// Quickly you lace your fingers through hers and shift her arm back up so that it’s resting on your chest again, and you swear you hear a quiet whine of disappointment… or is that just your overwrought imagination? [img[images/scenes/BeachNoPit.png]] It abruptly occurs to you that even if Gaia has no idea what she’s doing and is only acting on curiosity, raging hormones and reproductive instinct could take over and lead to her impaling herself on your shaft. In all likelihood given her life of strenuous physically activity she’s already torn her hymen, but on the off chance it’s still intact… Your heart is still pounding and your penis is still engorged, making sleep downright impossible, especially since Gaia’s clinging tightly to you. She murmurs… something… in her sleep; and you gently squeeze her fingers in a reassuring manner. //No, I promised myself I wouldn’t hurt her, and I’m going to keep that promise come Hell or high water.// Sighing, you close your eyes and begin the Sisyphean task of falling asleep with a nubile young woman sleeping naked right beside you.

When you awaken, it’s to Gaia crouching over and gently poking you awake. “G’morning, Gaia. A bit early, isn’t it?” She grunts in response, offering some berries from her hip-pouch. You cautiously accept them, popping them into your mouth, and are surprised by how sweet they are. “Thanks…” Your stomach convulses, unhappy with the paltry meal. A real breakfast will have to wait until I get back to the manor… //though no doubt I’ll be cooking for myself. I hope the girls weren’t too worried…// Stretching, you look up at the sky. Last night’s overcast weather has cleared up completely and the sun is starting to come up, though a few stars are still faintly visible. It’s a strangely beautiful sight, this tiny space between night and day, and you turn to smile at Gaia. Before you can say anything, you hear a faint voice, calling: “<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!” Anna’s voice is hoarse and tinged with fear and worry. //Anna!// You leap to your feet, turning to glance at Gaia, who’s looking at you with an odd expression. “Gaia…” You hold your arms out, and she tilts her head curiously before mirroring the gesture. Slowly stepping forward, you wrap your arms around her in a hug - short and chaste - before stepping back. “Thanks for saving me. I owe you one.” “<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!” Anna calls again. With last night’s fog dissipated, you can see the path back to the house and jog down it - settling into a walk as your empty stomach lets out a gurgle of protest. “Anna! I’m over here!” You call as you spot her - disheveled and dirty, holding a flashlight. //How long was she out looking for me?// Anna turns at the sound of your voice, her expression of concerned relief quickly masked by one of stern disapproval. //Is she going to scold me like she does to Eve?// The thought almost amuses you. Then Anna remembers who you are and the fire in her eyes dims. “If you want to scold me, it’s OK. After what I must’ve put her through, I deserve it.” Anna hesitates, biting her lower lip as she grabs your sleeve, frowning at the sand still clinging to it. “Please… just don’t do that again. Eve and I were worried sick about you. What if you got sick? What if you were hurt, or killed?” “It won’t happen again. No more after-dark walks in the woods for me,” You place one hand over your heart and hold the other one up. “Now, let’s get back to the manor. We shouldn’t keep Eve in any more suspense.” [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<set $location to "backyard">><<addtime { minute : 244}>>

When Gaia sees you, she raises her spear above her head, not in a threatening manner, but in greeting. Unsurprisingly, she changes directly slightly to approach you and when she gets close enough, she brushes against you, her shoulder against your side in a similar manner to a cat. You can't help but smile, a smile that Gaia quickly returns as she leans into you. <<talk "player">>You seem unusually affectionate today.<</talk>> [[Sit with her and let her cuddle.|Gaia Virginity 1a]] [[Ignore her.|Gaia Virginity 1b]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>Maybe we should find a place to sit before you knock me over.<</talk>>\ Seeing out a comfortable bit of the lawn, you sit down. Almost instantly Gaia sticks the tip of her spear in the ground then plops down in your lap with enough force to make you groan. She smirks, clearly understanding what she just did, but seeming unconcerned about it as she leans into you. Instinctively, you slip your arms around her and allow her to nuzzle a bit closer. In doing so she ends up straddling your leg and puts her arms around your shoulders as she nuzzles your shoulder. <<talk "thought">>And to think, it wasn't all that long ago that she would have stuck that spear in me. She's come a long way and I'm glad she's finally grown comfortable around me.<</talk>>\ For several minutes the two of you remain like this, enjoying each other's closeness. Then she moves, the movement subtle enough that you barely notice at first, and even when you do, you have a moment where you think it was just incidental. Then she moves again, and again. Each time she moves her hips, she presses her groin against your knee. <<talk "gaia">>Ahhhh.<</talk>>\ Gaia coos softly in your ear.

Reaching out, you pat Gaia on the head before continuing on your way. Gaia looks at you oddly, but quickly looses interest. As you continue to wander off, she returns her attention to whatever she was doing before. [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

<<talk "player">>Gaia, you don't understand what you're doing, I think you probably shouldn't be doing that.<</talk>>\ With that said, you move your hands to her hips and attempt to remove her from your leg. Only she clings to you all the tighter, squeezing you tight enough to make your ribs ache in her attempt to prevent her removal from your leg. Her head pulls back only far enough to look at your face, her eyes pleading as a mewling sound escapes her parted lips. Applying a bit more effort to removing her, she finally lets go of you, seeming to understand your intent even though the displeasure in her eyes is like a physical thing. The sound she makes starts like a growl but evolves into something far closer to a hiss as she moves a step away from you. Her frustration is clear, and you see a flicker of anger in her eyes. Then with a pout and a huff, she snatches up her spear before marching stiffly toward the treeline while pointedly looking anywhere but at you. <<talk "player">>Gaia! I-<</talk>>\ You cut yourself off when you realize that no words will help her understand why you ended her advances. As you watch her go, you feel bad, wondering if you made the right decision, and wondering how long it will be before Gaia forgives you.

Not wanting to startle or upset her, you allow her to continue. Soon, her movements become more pronounced. Very gently, you rub her back while she grinds against your leg. The smell of her sweat heady in a way that makes a none to subtle reminder that she doesn't bathe regularly. Her grip on you suddenly tightens, her susprising strength making your shoulders ache as you feel her teeth through the fabric of your shirt. <<talk 'gaia">>Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!<</talk>>\\ Gaia squeaks as her body shudders, her groin pressing hard against your leg as you feel her fluids soak through your clothes. For nearly a minute, you hold her before she starts to move again. This time her movements are much slower and lack the same urgency of earlier. You're just starting to wonder if she's going to continue until she finishes a second time, but without warning she pulls back. She smiles at you as she stands, then seems to squeeze her legs together before looking down as if she'll be able to see between her own legs. Then with a little wave, she snatches her spear from where she had stabbed it into the ground and heads back toward the treeline. Occasionally as she walks, she stops and glances back at you before vanishing into the trees. For a moment longer you look at the damp spot on your leg before getting up.

Feeling your own arousal rising, you allow one hand to stray down Gaia's back until you reach her bottom. She whimpers softly as you give it a squeeze, then stiffens when your hand slides further down in search of her vagina. The sound she makes is like a stuttering squeak when your fingertips find her damp folds. She stiffens, then quickly crawls off of you, her eyes cast downward toward her own crotch. After a moment, she looks at you, takes your hand, and guides it back toward her vagina with an expectant look on her face. You see her eyes widen as your fingers find their destination, her hips bucking involuntarily against your fingertips. Moving a little closer, she sits down, spreading her legs for you as she watches your hand. Kneeling, you allow your hand to continue working as you lean down near her crotch. You nearly kiss the inside of her thigh, but then realize just how dirty she is, how fragrant her sweat is. Instead, you change tactics, using your fingers to part her labia and reveal the pink interior. You admire the view for several seconds, amazed at how pink her interior is and the sharp contrast it creates with her dark skin. Shuffling closer to her, you slip one arm around her affectionately as you slide your fingers across her folds, stimulating the sensitive flesh. Gaia clings to you, panting in your ear as your fingers bring her pleasure. You can feel her naked nipples pressing against your chest even though your shirt. You continue to work your fingers, teasing her, every motion intended to both please, and to prolong that pleasure for her. It's not long before she's quivering in your arms, making desperate little sounds of encouragement as she tries to press herself into your fingers. Then one second to the next, her body stiffens, a startled sound coming from her lips as you feel a rush of fluids against your fingers. As she cums, you hold her tightly with your free arm, feeling her heartbeat thundering against your chest. She leans harder into you, her head on your shoulder and you can feel her teeth through your shirt as her body shudders in orgasmic bliss. For nearly a minute, you hold her before she starts to move again. Her hips moving in a way that presses her sex against your fingers once more. You're just starting to move your fingers again, thinking that she wants to cum a second time, but without warning she pulls back. She smiles at you as she stands, then seems to squeeze her legs together before looking down as if she'll be able to see between her own legs. Then with a little wave, she snatches her spear from where she had stabbed it into the ground and heads back toward the treeline. Occasionally as she walks, she stops and glances back at you before vanishing into the trees. For a moment longer you look at her glistening wet fluids soaking your fingers before wiping them off on the grass and standing.

Reaching down, you unbutton your pants and lift your hips just far enough to push your pants past your hips. The action disrupts Gaia, drawing her attention to what you are doing. As your cock springs free, you can see her eyes widen in surprise. There isn't a hint of alarm in her eyes, just curiosity. <<talk "player">>I'm going to slip my pants off, then you can sit on it. It's going to feel really good.<</talk>>\ Nudging Gaia gently off of you, you slip your pants off. All the while Gaia's eyes dart between your erection and your face as if she's trying to understand what she's seeing. Reaching out, you touch Gaia's hip. With a gentle pull you coax her toward you. It takes a minute, but with just a little awkwardness you get Gaia to straddle you, getting her to sit on your hips with your cock pinned between your bodies. With a small shift of your hips, slides your shaft along her slit. Gaia's eyes widen, her lips falling open as she feels your manhood slide along her sensitive folds. Within seconds, she's rocking her hips eagerly, her own juices making your shaft glide easily along her slit. Placing both of her hands on your chest, her movements become more impassioned, her hips moving in longer and longer strokes as she presses down harder. Her eyes close, panting as she experiences the pleasure. You can feel the first telltale signs of your own orgasm approaching, coaxed closer with every shift of Gaia's hips. Then she moves back far enough that you feel the head of your cock slide across her opening and in that moment you realize that a simple shift of your hips would likely result in penetration. Your cock throbs with need at the realization. [[Don't.|Gaia Virginity 1g]] [[Shift your hips.|Gaia Virginity 1h]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You're careful not to move your hips, and your hands move to her hips to control her movement in a way that prevents her from accidentally sliding too far forward and risking penetration. Then one second to the next, her body is shuddering, her lips parting as she howls in pleasure. You can feel a gush of her fluids hit your balls right as they tighten, your cock throbbing across her slit as you begin to shoot stream after stream of pearly white cum across your own belly and chest. For several minutes the two of you remain like that, each of you basking in the afterglow of your shared experience. You're brought back to the present as you feel Gaia's hands, or rather her fingertips touching your belly. Instinctively, you look down to see what she is doing. Gaia, eyes curious, is running her fingertips through the cum dotting your belly. As you watch, she traces a little pattern. in it. Then her eyes meet yours, returns to your belly, looks at the tip of your cock where the last of your seed is leaking from it's tip, then reaches for your penis. You don't move, unsure of what she intends. But you didn't need to worry because she just traces a fingertip across the tip of your cock, scooping a drop of cum up with her finger, then looks at your face again before raising it to her lips. Her lips part, and she sticks the tip of her finger inside. You can see her tongue move inside of her mouth, then her lips close around her finger. For the next few seconds, you watch her expression as it turns from curiosity to mild distaste. When her eyes return to your face, her expression is skeptical, as if you somehow forced her to do something she would have rather not done. <<talk "player">>I didn't make you stick that in your mouth.<</talk>>\ You say bluntly. When she starts to stand, you almost instantly notice that she's unsteady on her legs. She scowls as she wobbles a bit, then casts a hard look at you before snatching up her spear and wandering back toward the treeline. Every step seems a little more sure than the last. You watch her go, noticing how the inside of her thighs glisten wetly as she walks. As she approaches the nearest tree, she turns back to you, grinning widely and waving before quickly vanishing back into the forest.

Unable to help yourself, you shift your hips. This time when she slides forward, the tip of your cock catches at her opening, and the force of her return slide forces you inside of her impossibly tight cunt. A flash of something between shock and rage crosses Gaia's face as you moan softly at the sensation around your cock., then in an instant everything goes wrong. Gaia recoils with a shriek that would make a banshee proud. One of her hands goes protectively to her crotch as her other hand reaches for her spear. You instinctively start to scramble away. With a sweeping arc, Gaia brings the staff around, sweeping your legs out from under right as you're starting to stand. You have just a split second to appreciate the fact that she didn't stab you before the spear strikes you a second time. This time catching you in the side with bruising force and knocking you onto your back Gaia's just raising the staff again when you focus on her, and curling quickly into a ball to protect your most sensitive parts before she can rain down another blow. But it never comes. You ramain like that for a second longer, braced for her next attack, but when it doesn't happen, you carefully peek at where you last saw her. Instead of being where you expect her, you instead see her running toward the treeline as fast as her feet can carry her. Looking down at yourself, you try to quickly assess the damage. Your eyes instantly fall on the blood on your cock, not a lot, but enough to easily identify. For a split second, you can't think, then everything falls into place at once. <<talk "thought">>She was a virgin, I just deflowered her. She attacked me because it hurt her, I hurt her.<</talk>>\ With that sobering thought, you scramble to your feet. <<talk "player">>Gaia!<</talk>>\ You try to yell after her, but the ache in your ribs where she hit you leaves you winded and unable to project your voice as well as you would like.

Watching Gaia go, you decide that maybe the best thing is to simply let her go off and do her own thing for a while. No since scaring her further by chasing her into the woods. You search the treeline for a few seconds longer but see no further sign of her. Eventually, you reach for your pants, pulling them back up and buckling them again before turning your attention to other things again. [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Grabbing your pants, you quickly pull them on and stumble toward the forest with one hand on your side where Gaia had struck you earlier with her spear. <<talk "player">>Gaia!<</talk>>\ Your voice is more firm than it was when trying to call out earlier, but it still causes a twinge of pain in your ribs. Pausing, you listen, but hear nothing. A dozen more steps and you call out again, with the same result. You continue to walk, calling out from time to time, but it's not until you're nearly ready to give up that you hear something. Somewhere at the edge of your ability to hear is what sounds like crying. You have to strain to hear, and tilt your head side to side to figure out which direction it is coming from, but you follow the sound. A soft splash catches your attention and you turn toward it. You realize almost instantly that it's from the same place as you were hearing the crying from moments earlier. Moving closer to the sound, you try to stay quiet so that you don't spook Gaia any worse than she already is. You find yourself looking at a small, slow moving stream with Gaia perched on the far side. From where you are, you can see tears streaking her face as she splashes water between her legs. You aren't sure if she's trying to wash herself, or if the cool water just feels good aginst her recently deflowered vagina. Either way, your arrival is almost instantly noticed, Gaia's expression darkening as she grabs for her spear. <<talk "player">>I just wanted to make sure you were ok.<</talk>>\ You try to make your voice reassuring and friendly, but Gaia just hisses at you and backs away. This time, you let her know, knowing deep down that chasing her further is likely to just make the situation worse than it already is. With a heavy sigh, you watch the little stream for a while before turning back the way you came and starting back in the direction you think you'll find the mansion. You're just starting to think you're lost when you see a break in the trees, the mansion nearly perfectly framed in the gap. Altering course slightly you continue walking until you exit the treeline out near the stables in the back yard.

As you walk down the trail, you notice something. Or rather the lack of something, A few minutes ago the air was alive with the sound of bird calls and the screaming of cicadas, now there was complete and utter silence, Taking a chance, you say loudly and clearly, "Hello Gaia." <<if $gaia.affection gte 800 and $gaia.fear lte 150>>You hear the sound of bushes shaking as Gaia steps into view, a look of surprise and confusion on her face, as if she was unsure of how you knew she was spying on you, "The birds." you say with a smile, pointing to the trees and whistle like a bird, the silence after the whistle almost deafening, Gaia's eyes widen as she realizes what you are trying to say, and grins, before taking off back into the forest, Standing there for a few minutes, the birds resume their calls, and you continue walking. <<else>>You hear the sound of bushes shaking as something runs away, a flash of brown skin is all you see of the feral forest queen.

Some feedback for the author: -I coded the scene. In the future, if submissions can be presented in that format, it would help a lot. Take a look at the guide pinned in the "submissions" channel on discord, and don't be afraid to ask if you have questions. -The start of the scene was a little jumbled, like you'd started to write the same sentence a couple of times before actually completing it. I removed the first bit and left everything starting with the first complete sentence. I make a habit of going back and reading over my work after a little break, I've found that a short break will allow you to look at your own work with fresh eyes, which will usually allow you to catch errors you made easier. -When setting up target numbers for relationship stats, just wing it. Put something in that "feels" right to you, it's fairly trivial for me to change the numbers as I read a scene (And honestly, I almost always adjust numbers, even when I take a second look at my own work.) the important thing is that the code is in place so those adjustments are all we need to worry about. -You doubled or even triple spaced after commas a lot. Traditionally, you apace once after a comma. -You used a capital word after a comma a couple of times. In the case of names this is correct, but not otherwise. -I changed laughs to grins in the above. While Gaia DOES laugh, it tends to be a rare thing. -Cicadas are fine. They're pretty common where I live too, and if you hadn't said something about them maybe being out of place, I'd have never thought twice about their presence. -Overall, it's a really cute little scene. I like it.

Glancing toward the pool area, you see Misaki laying on a lounge chair, Gaia crouched very close to her. [img[images/scenes/Misaki.png]] Gaia leans close, her face bare inches from Misakis. Then suddenly Gaia jerks back as if struck, a huge grin on her full lips. You take a few steps closer, watching what is going on. You barely close half the distance before Gaia leans close again. This time you hear Misaki blow, a few loose strands of Gaia's hair moving right before she jerks back again. Gaia makes a happy sound, and at the same time Misaki laughs softly. //Doesn't take much to keep the two of them amused,// You think, seeing Gaia lean close once more. Suddenly, Gaia pulls back, but not from anything Misaki does. Gaia's eyes are firmly on you. "Is something wrong?" Misaki asks, "Is someone there?" She asks a little louder. "Just me," You reply, "I didn't intend to interrupt your fun." Misaki grins, "I don't think she realizes that every time she leans close, she casts a shadow," You can hear the clear amusement in Misaki's voice. //That explains how she knows when to blow,// You muse. "Have fun then," You say by way of goodbye, turning your attention elsewhere. You've walked only a little ways before you see Gaia leaning close to Misaki once more.

The sound of Misaki's voice draws you toward the pool where you first notice her sprawled across one of the lounge chairs. The fact that she is talking far too softly to be addressing you prompts you to look closer however. It is then that you notice that the lounge chair beside her is occupied as well. [img[images/scenes/Misaki.png]] Laying across it is Gaia, mimicking Misaki's casual pose and somehow making it look awkward. Misaki continues to talk about nothing in particular, all the while Gaia seems to pay attention, occasionally making a sound but never speaking anything that sounds like a word.

You hear a crash followed by a pair of girls giggling. "It's not funny!" Eve declares as she stands up from where she had fallen. You do a double take, realizing that Eve is wearing a blindfold and is trying to find her way around using Misakis cane, "How is Gaia ever going to understand that you can't see if we can't show her?" Eve barely takes another step before she stumbles again, barely catching herself before she falls. Gaia giggles as soon as it happens, and after a split second pause Misaki joins her.

Motion draws your attention even before you hear Eve's voice, "Not so fast!" Eve shrieks. Heedless of Eve's words, Gaia is walking, her arms flailing wildly as she walks with exaggerated steps. "This is what it's like to be Misaki, she can't see!" Every word from Eve is loud, as if louder will somehow help Gaia understand her words. As you watch, you notice that Misaki is sitting nearby, her head turned toward the two, //No, not at both of them, she's following the sound of Eve's voice.// For several minutes you watch, seeing Gaia stumble, trip and swing her arms in every direction at once as she follows the sound of Eve's voice.

Gaia makes a vexed sound from near the pool. You turn your head, seeing Misaki walking, a blindfold over her eyes as she guides herself using her cane. There's an amused smile on Misaki's face as she moves about at her usual pace. For just a moment you wonder why Misaki is wearing a blindfold, but you quickly realize that it has something to do with what you've seen before, where Eve has used a blindfold in an effort to //show// Gaia what it's like to be blind. Your gaze goes from Misaki to Gaia, the perplexed look on the ebony woman's face is nearly enough to make you laugh. "See? It doesn't make a difference," Misaki says to Gaia, pulling the blindfold off and letting it hang loosely from her hand. Turning, Misaki sweeps her cane in front of her, bumping the side of one of the lounge chairs around the pool. Centering on it, she takes the couple of steps toward the chair then reaches out. Once she finds the chair, she touches it in a couple of places to orient herself then sits gently down on the chair. Gaia moves and sits across from the blind woman, watching her closely. You can tell that Misaki is talking, but her voice is far too soft to make out any of what she is saying. You remain for only a few seconds longer before turning your attention elsewhere.

Your eyes fall on a lounge chair over near the pool, the mixture of pale skin and dark making a sharp contrast on the overcrowded chair. For just a split second, you think that Misaki has somehow seduced the ebony Gaia because they are both laying naked in a tangle of limbs. But you quickly realize that isn't the case, while there is no telling what they had been up to before, at the moment they just seem to be cuddling. Misaki's hands gently rub Gaia's back where she's half wrapped around the fairer skinned woman, while Gaia nuzzles close, cooing contentedly. As you watch, Misaki smiles happily, one hand tracing Gaia's shoulder before adjusting how she is laying and closing her eyes lazily. You smile to yourself as you turn away, thinking that it's surprising how comfortable the two women are in each other's presence.

You respond in kind, she remains expressionless as she continues gazing at the passing clouds. A moment later she speaks up. "I see." She gives you a short reply. There's a long silence as you stand there with Mitsuko laying in the grass. You're about to leave when she breaks the silence. "It's beautiful." Confused at what she means, Mitsuko notices your confusion. "The sunset I mean, the way it tints the sky in a fiery orange and yellow hue as it disappears over the horizon." The corner of her mouth curves into a faint smile, with a sigh she gets up taking one last look up at the sky. She looks to you, nodding her head. The two of you head back to the mansion. <<else>>You approach Mitsuko, stopping several feet away from her. If she notices your presence, the older woman doesn't show any signs of it.

You nod, smiling as you lay down beside her. "I always find the clouds are at their most beautiful when the sun sets. It showers them in this magnificent glow of orange and yellow one final time before night approaches." Mitsuko pauses again before continuing. "Before the darkness sets in." Her last sentence is a whisper, you barely manage to catch it. The two of you spend a few moments in silence, watching the clouds float by. Mitsuko speaks up. "So, what brings you out here this late?" Her question surprises you. "I saw you laying down, I wanted to come check up on you. Make sure you were alright." You answer. The older woman blushes. "Well thank you, I've gone through a few //masters// in my time as a slave. And you're the kindest by far." Her voice falters as she speaks, with a giggle her voice gets low, a whisper. "I can't believe I might be falling in love with you." Barely catching her words you look to her, unsure of what you heard. Mitsuko giggles again. "Forget it." Refusing to repeat herself, you shrug. Focusing on the clouds overhead as the sun casts its last bit of light on them. A moment later drowsiness washes over you and before long you're asleep. Opening your eyes, you stare straight ahead, the night sky lit up by thousands of tiny bulbs, each dot representing a star trillions of miles away. "It's breathtakingly beautiful, isn't it." A rustling beside you brings your attention back as Mitsuko speaks, holding her hand out to you. "Come on, it's late. We should get back." You take her hand, pulling you up. The two of you make your way back to the mansion, Mitsuko's hand tightly entwined with yours. You make it to the mansion a few minutes later, taking one last look back to the night sky before turning back to the mansion.

Stepping out into the backyard, the blazing sun forcing you to shield your eyes as you look around. Along the rolling hills and lush green fields, are several trees and shrubberies. Sitting under one of the small groves of trees close to the mansion, are Mitsuko and Eve huddled close together, their attention on the latter's lap. [[Walk over to them.|Submitted Eve and Mitsuko Scene 2a]] [[Leave them alone.|Submitted Eve and Mitsuko Scene2b]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You walk over to the girls, curious as to what they are doing. As you approach, you catch a glimpse of a bird sitting in Mitsuko's hand as Eve looks on in amazement. The sound of your footsteps alerting both of them to your presence. Eve's body twists around to face you, her features glowing with childish glee as she strides toward you. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, we found a bird whose wing was hurt!" She points to her companion's hands. Mitsuko speaks up. "Eve found a bird frantically chirping under the tree, so we are taking care of it." A loving smile as Eve returns to kneeling in front of her. She motions you to join them. [[Sit down with them.|Submitted Eve and Mitsuko Scene 2c]] [[Tell them to get back to work.|Submitted Eve and Mitsuko Scene 2d]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You join the two girls, sitting yourself down beside Mitsuko. She holds the bird out, you can see it has its left wing bandaged. Cautiously reaching your hand out, you gently stroke its tiny body, careful to avoid its wing. For several minutes, you pet the bird, enjoying the girls' company as they chat and giggle. "The bird will be okay right?" Eve becomes worried for a second. Mitsuko giggles. "Don't worry, he'll be alright, his wing will heal over time and soon it'll be strong enough to fly again." Reassuring Eve's worries, she holds the bird out to her. Eve excitedly takes the tiny creature in her hands, gently holding it. You look at the older woman, her attention on the young lady but her eyes distant, her mouth curving into a sad smile.

Feeling the sadness slipping through her mask, you slide yourself closer to her and wrap your arm around her, pulling her against your shoulder. She accepts your embrace, her sad expression fading. Your companion's attention still on Eve, but with a smile of content as she subconsciously places her hand on your chest, leaning into you. You, Eve and Mitsuko sit under the tree, the two of you close together as Eve gently plays around with the bird. You decide it's time to head back. "I'm going to head back now, you two have fun, but remember you've got duties to attend to." The girls nod, saying their goodbyes as you walk back to the mansion.

You look at Eve, then to Mitsuko. "That's nice, but there's work that needs to be done, so make sure to get to it." You say, a serious tone to your voice. Mitsuko nods, getting off the grass as Eve hangs her head. "Yes <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>." Satisfied, you make your way back to the mansion, taking one last look back you can see Mitsuko placing the bird back in his nest while Eve watches on.

As you approach the pool you hear a voice of an Angel singing a beautiful song, possibly of Eastern origins. You recognize that voice as Mitsuko’s as you get near. Mitsuko is gently treading the water around her, her clothes neatly folded and lying at the pool-side. “Beautiful song Mitsuko, where did you learn it?” You ask. Startled, Mitsuko looks at you then quickly regains her composure. “Oh thank you,” She says with a subtle smile. “When I was very little, my Mother would sing it to me as I lay in bed, many nights I would struggle to sleep, most often when we had no money to buy food and I would go without.” Mitsuko’s eyes looking past you into the distance as if replaying the memory in her mind. You begin to undress. A few moments later you notice tears fill up in her eyes and her expression changing as if to try and fight back the urge to cry. “I miss them so much,” she whispers, tears streaking down her cheeks. “All I have left of them is a few memories and that photo, I feel a weight pressing down on my chest at night as I lay awake.” She looks to you, searching your eyes for reassurance.

Taking off the last of your clothes, you climb into the pool before wading through the water over to her. Mitsuko meets your approach with open arms and while crying softly, she wraps her arms around you, face buried in your shoulder. You feel the warmth of her body against you as you embrace her but despite the apparent closeness of your naked bodies you hold back the erection long enough to comfort her, telling her that you're sorry for what has happened to her in the past. “In time,” you say. “I hope to make many happy memories with you, Anna and Eve. I know it’s not the same but holding onto the past like this will only damage your future” You whisper back, gently stroking her head, hair wet from the water. Her grip on your arm tightens. "I know, It's just," She pauses for a moment, her head shifting to look up at the sky. "The nightmares, they feel so real at times. Like I'll never be able to escape them". Her voice straining. "In them, I'm left all alone, there's no one left but me." There's a pained expression behind her eyes. You hold her tighter against your body. "I'm here for you, I promise. No one's going anywhere." She lets out a mixture of joy and tears as she looks at you. She leans closer and you both kiss as a tear rolls down her face. “Thank you <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>. I…..lo…Thank you”. You hold her a little longer before she pulls away, she smiles at you, her expression warm. After excusing herself, both of you exit the pool and redress yourselves.

Silently you put the few clothes you removed, back on. You and Mitsuko stare at one another for a moment, before you excuse yourself. "I apologize for bringing up terrible memories, it's a shame what happened. No one deserves to go through what you did." You hesitate, your eyes meeting hers one last time. "Sometimes it's better to forget about the past." You give her a sympathetic look before leaving her alone, she stares on in stunned silence as you walk away.

"Do you need help?" You ask kindly. Even at thee best of times Rey's dependability was never high.

Rey jumps at thee sound of your voice, a half meow of fear escaping $rey.his lips. he spins around, looking like a frightened cat with its hackles raised.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. It's j-just that this forest is a little creepy. I hate coming here." Rey says, putting a hand on $rey.his chest. "Is it?" You question, intruded. You could understand thee fear if it was nighttime, but during thee day? You suppose different people find various ways to interpret nature, even if fear is seldom one of them. "W-Well, there's so many ways for bad guys to hide here. L-Look!" Rey points to thee remains of a fallen tree. "Someone could be hiding in there! Or there! Or there!" Rey points around wildly, as though wishing someone would pop out to verify $rey.his fear. "Instead of searching for 'bad guys', how about I help you get this load of firewood back home." You say firmly, hoping to dispel Rey's uneasiness. Rey perks up, $rey.his long lashes fluttering with joy. "YES!" You shoot $rey.him a glance. "I m-mean, thank you. Er, yes. Yes!" Rey babbles. You grin and help $rey.him collect thee fallen pieces of wood. You help Rey carry firewood to thee edge of thee forest. he insists on finishing $rey.his job by himself, leaving you to stand at thee edge of thee woods. You see off Rey's tottering form with a smile, somewhat amazed at thee lad's tenacity.

Still, $rey.his hands move restlessly, twisting together with unease as you converse. "Do you need help?" You ask thee unusually silent Rey. "N-No, I c-can manage." he stutters, casting furtive glances around your surroundings. You pause, wanting to insist. The hidden tremors on $rey.his body deter you from inquiring further, however. You don't want to traumatize thee poor boy. //he's obviously uncomfortable,// you reason to yourself. "All right," you concede. "I need you to be careful, though. Take less wood from now on.

"Change of plans. Leave your underwear on. I'm sure everyone in thee Mansion will appreciate your choice of clothing as you work." You smirk. You turn and walk away, ears perked to see if your foolish servant would grow some backbone. He doesn't. Rey sobs weakly behind you.

You step towards Rey as quietly as you can manage. The waif is so intent on $rey.his task that he never sees you coming. One step, two steps... On thee third, a twig snaps beneath your feet. You lunge forward as Rey's figure stiffens in shock. You envelope Rey in an all-encompassing bear hug, pressing your already hard member against $rey.his welcoming curves.

You keep $rey.him pinned, slipping your hands under $rey.his shirt and running them across $rey.his smooth skin. he seems to realize something and stops bucking in your grip.

His utter submission thrills you to no end, pushing your libido higher. The thrill of doing something like this out in thee open, even if nobody is around, tingles down your spine and further engorges your dick. You stifle a moan as Rey spreads $rey.his legs to encourage you. You pause, taking a moment to appreciate thee sight before you.

"So," you drawl as you start to knead $rey.his ass. "I saw something interesting a few seconds ago. I had to figure it out right away." "What?" Rey's reply is more moan than question. "What are you wearing under all these clothes?" You ask, playing with the hem of Rey's pants. Rey's silky ass tenses for a moment. You clench against $rey.his taut muscles in warning. he makes an effort to relax, and soon $rey.his plump rear is once again yours for thee ravaging. You reward $rey.him with a small slap. The motion sends Rey into a flurry of soft sighs. "I'm, um, wearing underwear?" You hide a smile. "I know. What kind of underwear?" "Oh." Rey is silent for a moment. "Um, w-women's underwear." he eventually answers. "Hm." You hum, lightly scratching against thee cloth riding $rey.his butt. "S-Should I?" Rey asks, a tremor running through $rey.his voice. "You should," You affirm as you start to squeeze and caress $rey.his curves. You switch topics to save thee poor trap further discomfort. "They don't make them like this anymore. How do you stay so fit with all thee work you do?" You idly remark as you play with Rey to your heart's content. It's almost a crime against nature to give a man such a bewitching figure. Luckily, that crime of nature is your responsibility. It's only right to //utilize// thee resources at your command. "I asked for advice. Anna says that eating a lot will keep my figure, while Eve told me that rubbing it every night keeps my b-butt from getting flabby. Do you like it?" Rey mumbles, thee back of $rey.his neck flushing with shame. "Let me show you." You reach around and unzip $rey.his pants. You start to pull them down but run into a little problem when they're halfway down. Rey's curves are in thee way. Even with Rey twisting $rey.his hips and doing little half-hops in place, you still can't quite free thee denim from $rey.his alluring form. ///Oh well, it's far enough.// You free yourself, letting your cock swing free and slap against Rey's bare cheeks. he squirms a little when he feels your burning rod, but tacitly approves your actions by pushing up and letting you rest against $rey.his back door. Only a thin cloth remains to foil your advance. "Wait! I have some l-lube in my back pocket." Rey murmurs in a strained voice. "Oh?" You fish out thee small bottle, giving $rey.his ass a few wayward smacks during thee process. "I'm always ready!" Rey chirps happily as you start to lather your twitching member. The lotion is cool against your skin, and soon your cock is lubricated with enough lube to give yourself free access to Rey's needy butt. You push thee flimsy panties aside and reveal Rey's tight hole. he moans as you drip thee lotion between $rey.his cheeks. he needs to enjoy this as much as you will. You spend a few minutes spreading thee viscous liquid until it gleams in thee forest's muted sunlight. Rey giggles and twists $rey.his hips, trying to run away from thee ticklish sensation. You have no doubt he's sporting a little erection of $rey.his own from thee way goosebumps follow your trailing fingers. "P-Put it in! I can't stand it anymore." Rey pleads desperately. His hips bounce in search for more stimulation. One last smack ripples $rey.his fleshy ass, just to remind who's in control. You are about to reach your own limits, however, so you rub yourself against thee crown of Rey's throbbing hole. Your rod prods thee entrance to nirvana, rubbing itself further and further into Rey's lewd butt. The slender youth tenses in surprise, soon relaxing under your repeated encouragements. It takes some effort, but with a little time Rey's anus succeeds in swallowing your sensitive cock-head. Rey stills and groans as both of you luxuriate in satisfaction. Rey is thee first to move. Impatience takes over $rey.him as he whines and starts to buck against your groin. You exhale and let $rey.him move, thee sounds of your coupling echoing throughout thee forest. His ass clutches around your invading member, doing its best to both resist and welcome your advance. Your cock almost goes numb from pleasure as Rey's crown stretches to swallow as much of your cock as he possibly can. You wrap your hands around $rey.his waist and start to piston. Rey's cries are thee perfect music in your ears as $rey.his slick walls undulate around your length. It doesn't take long before you are both panting on thee edge of complete bliss. he sticks tight against you, unwilling to part for even a second. You start to lose yourself as $rey.his velvet confines seek to coax as much cum as your churning balls can give $rey.him. "Inside! Inside! I want to feel it inside!" Rey cries out as he squeezes hard around you. His frantic motions and outright pleading send you over thee edge. You groan as your balls tighten to give your little buttslut thee reward he desperately needs. Rey shudders as your cock pulses deep in $rey.his butt. Your vision buzzes as you thrust a final time and empty yourself into Rey's perfect cocksleeve. he quivers as your seed paints $rey.his insides "So warm..." Rey mutters listlessly, $rey.his insides glued around your throbbing member. he convulses from time to time, acting on instinct to wring your cock of every drop. The aftershocks run straight to your brain as you resist thee urge to separate from thee overwhelming pleasure. Good things must come to an end, however. Eventually your cock is pushed out, leaving Rey's ass an absolute mess of lotion and semen. Rey collapses into thee dirt, barely avoiding a straight face-plant. His legs quiver from your ravishing, while $rey.his butt shakes in a silent rhythm to keep your cum inside of $rey.him. "Um, I'll clean myself up later. I, uh, I really liked that." Rey whispers from thee ground, too weak to stand and properly groom himself. You grin at $rey.his reaction, astounded at how cute Rey could be. "I did too." You resume your day with thee knowledge that Rey would spend thee rest of thee day with your load safely hidden beneath a pair of panties. <<else>> You rest your hands on $rey.his slender hips, appreciating thee soft flesh yielding beneath your grasp. "So," you drawl as you start to knead $rey.his ass. "I saw something interesting a few seconds ago. I had to figure it out right away." "What?" Rey's reply is more moan than question. "What are you wearing under all these clothes?" You ask, playing with the hem of Rey's pants. Rey's silky ass tenses for a moment. You clench against $rey.his taut muscles in warning. he makes an effort to relax, and soon $rey.his plump rear is once again yours for thee ravaging. You reward $rey.him with a small slap. The motion sends Rey into a flurry of soft sighs. "I'm, um, wearing underwear?" You hide a smile. "I know. What kind of underwear?" "Oh." Rey is silent for a moment. "Um, w-women's underwear." he eventually answers. "Hm." You hum, lightly scratching against thee cloth riding $rey.his butt. "S-Should I?" Rey asks, a tremor running through $rey.his voice. "You should," You affirm as you start to squeeze and caress $rey.his curves. You switch topics to save thee poor trap further discomfort. "I think dedication like this deserves a reward." You say, your voice husky with desire. "R-Reward?!" Rey yelps. His breathy moans and feminine grunts drive you to give Rey thee sort of compensation he's aching for. You slide your hands to $rey.his front, letting your actions dictate your answer. Rey trembles in your arms while you caress $rey.his navel. You dip lower, fingers drifting over thee delicate lines of $rey.his panties before finding something shamefully hard. "Oh?" You tease, your tone playful as you trace thee outline of $rey.his little erection. "Looks like someone down is here looking forward to $rey.his reward." "Mm!" Rey tries to squirm free. he gives up when you lightly grasp $rey.his member and start to move. "I wanna help you feel good too." Rey mutters, $rey.his voice so quiet from $rey.his bent over position you almost miss it. "Naughty boy." You purr. "This time its about you." Your right hand slips inside of $rey.his silky panties, while your left wanders up to play with $rey.his already stiff nipples. You catch a hardened nub between your fingers and pinch it, drawing a gasp from thee delicate creature trapped in your arms. Your other hand settles around $rey.his erection, large enough to completely engulf thee small rod in your grip. You flex and unflex, letting $rey.him get used to your calloused palm. he heats up as you play with $rey.his body, an unusually sweet and musky scent drifting from $rey.his panting figure. "S-So rough!" Rey whimpers. he says it like he dislike thee sensation, but you notice thee way he bucks against your hands in search for more stimulation. You lean down and nuzzle $rey.his neck, planting light kisses to heighten thee sensations rolling through $rey.his slight form. You whisper sweet nothings into $rey.his reddened ears, letting your voice vibrate through your body. he shudders in response and starts to groan, so overwhelmed by your dominance that he ceases any pretense of dislike. You start to move, marveling at how quickly $rey.his fluids coat your grip. Your motion smoothness out with thee added lubrication, and soon you're set in a steady rhythm. Rey's cries are thee perfect music in your ears as you work, your own member painfully throbbing against $rey.his full butt. It doesn't take long for $rey.him to cry out in agony, lost in thee bliss delivered by your hands. You cup $rey.his flat chest and move faster, refusing to let up for even a second. You feel $rey.him throb in your grip as you piston relentlessly, hoping to coax every drop into $rey.his already sodden panties. "PLEASE!" Rey wails as a powerful orgasm rocks $rey.him. You don't know if he's asking you to stop or keep going... so you keep going just in case. You pull $rey.him up into your embrace in order to see what sort of expression your trembling trap is wearing. His large eyes are hazed over, nostril flared and teeth gritted as he tries to weather thee jolts of euphoria shaking $rey.his body. You reach up and tilt $rey.his head, delivering a hot kiss to complete $rey.his orgasm. You slow down and begin to squeeze $rey.his member, carefully wringing every drop from $rey.his twitching penis. he collapses back against you with a slack face. It looks like Rey had just gone through a marathon, thee way $rey.his frayed hair and exhausted features look. A wicked idea shoots through you. You withdraw your hand from $rey.his panties and press a stained digit against $rey.his pouting lips. he lets you prey open $rey.his mouth, a small tongue idly prodding against thee intruder. he instinctively begins to suck. A little shock of electricity runs through you as he cleans your finger with utmost diligence. You repeat thee process until your hand gleams with $rey.his saliva. he's too far gone to stand unsupported so you lean $rey.him against a nearby tree. You wipe your hands on your pants and give Rey a sunny smile. You have no doubt you look like thee cheshire cat who'd just gotten a big bowl of milk. "Um, I'll clean myself up later. I, uh, I really liked that." Rey whispers, too weak to stand and properly groom himself. You grin at $rey.his reaction, astounded at how cute Rey could be. "I did too."

You tease as you withdraw your hands from $rey.his bountiful rear. he lets out a disappointed groan as you withdraw. he does $rey.his best to answer as you step away from $rey.his alluring form. "Um, I think so." he admits. he straightens up but keeps $rey.his head down, perhaps too shy to meet your gaze directly. You look at $rey.his downcast figure for a moment, something in your chest clenching. You sigh and step forward. You wrap $rey.him up in warm hug, letting $rey.his head nestle perfectly into your shoulder. "You know, no matter what you dress in, that you're always welcome here. You know that, right?" You say softly. he stiffens in your arms. he soon relaxes as you reassure $rey.him and returns your hug. "I know. T-Thank you so much, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>.

You spot Rey sitting at the pool's edge, $rey.his_ bare feet dipped into the water. A wide net is angled out in front of $rey.him like a fishing rod.

"This doesn't look very... effective." You remark in a diplomatic tone. You stop a few feet from the pool's edge, noticing a few leaves floating about on the other side, untouched. "O-oh, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>!" Rey almost drops $rey.his_ net in a panic. "Um, t-this isn't what it looks like!"

"I was j-just cooling the b-blisters on my feet. It's, um, it's hard t-to walk around on my heels." Rey squeaks in a hurry. $rey.He pulls $rey.his_ slender legs from the water to show you.

The reddening of $rey.his_ porcelain complexion is proof enough of Rey's diligent work. //Oh, my bad.// You think. //Rey is telling the truth.// "I'm sorry for doubting you." You apologize. Rey's mouth hangs open, lips parted into an 'O' of surprise as your apology hits $rey.him. You continue, "Why don't you take an actual break to get those feet bandaged. I think there's a first-aid kit in the kitchen. The work isn't in a hurry to get done." "I, um... Okay." Rey relents to your suggestion with a bashful smile. You can't help but smirk a little as Rey heads to the mansion, carefully hobbling away on $rey.his_ heels.

"Catch any fish yet?" You say, coming to stand next to Rey. $rey.His_ head is just the right height to rest your hand on, so you do so as you wait for $rey.him to answer. "Um, n-no." Rey squeaks when $rey.he feels your hand. $rey.He wrings the net's handle, glancing up every now and then to meet your teasing gaze. $rey.His_ long hair shines with health, drawing attention to the rich blush crawling down $rey.his_ neck. "I'm just c-cooling the blisters on my feet. I'm not slacking off or anything!" Rey explains in a rush, as though afraid you might misunderstand. "It's hard to walk on my heels so I t-take small breaks." $rey.He pulls $rey.his_ slender legs from the water to show you. You frown when you catch sight of many blisters on $rey.his_ otherwise unblemished little toes. The creamy skin on Rey's legs looks a little roughened, especially around $rey.his_ feet. //Poor Rey. $rey.He must be hard at work for all those blisters to appear.// You judge, shooting $rey.him a sympathetic glance. You know how it feels to push through a strenuous task, even while chafed and sore. "Let me grab something to bandage those blistered feet. You need to stop and take care of small injuries like these before they turn into big ones. If you work out here all day these could easily get infected." "Um, I can d-do it after I'm do-" "No ums." You interrupt sternly. "I don't know how you're used to working in other places, but here at the mansion I expect nothing but your best. And to get your best, you need to be in good health, Rey. So let me bandage your feet." "S-so, Um, I don't have a choice?" Rey asks, cocking $rey.his_ head in a bid to raise $rey.his_ cuteness levels. "No." "I understand, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. I g-guess I'll wait here." You give $rey.his_ head one last pat before jogging towards the mansion. You remember there being a first aid kit somewhere in the kitchen.

You frown when you catch sight of many blisters on $rey.his_ otherwise unblemished little toes. The creamy skin on Rey's legs looks a little roughened, especially around $rey.his_ feet. //Hm.// You can't have the hired help out of commission with negligible injuries like this.

"Y-yes, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>." Rey murmurs in submission. "I expect you back out here as soon as you finish." You demand, half-hoping for an opportunity to give Rey a true scolding. Unfortunately, $rey.he never gives you the chance. You smile when $rey.his_ lilting obedience hits your ears. You shoo the stumbling waif away to gaze out serenely across the pool's surface.

You fumble around with the first aid kit for a few minutes, ignoring Rey's muted giggles as best you can. You finally pull out the necessary supplies and get to work. You pull Rey's delicate feet onto your lap, shushing down $rey.his_ objections. You spread the ointment across your finger and dab each blister with unabridged seriousness. Rey gasps at your every touch, $rey.his_ lilting voice taut with pain. You check $rey.his_ face multiple times, but $rey.he never looks like $rey.he hates it. In fact, Rey's watery eyes begin to gleam whenever your fingers brush too hard against $rey.his_ silky skin. //Curious,// you muse, pulling out the bandages and gauze. It might be overkill...

I'm collared so I don't have a choice. You're forcing your p-puppy to suck on your cock. I really want to taste you and feel you c-cum! P-please, let me have it. I want it! I want it so baaad." The sinful pleasure of hearing Rey's lilt stumble over obscene words threatens to send you over the edge. "Mm. Good dog. You may have your treat." You finally give your assent, letting Rey undress your lower half. It isn't long before your cock is unveiled, bulging veins and throbbing shaft making your need all too obvious. Rey draws in a sharp breath at the sight. "You made it this way. Take care of it, little puppy." You order, but Rey is already one step ahead. $rey.He opens $rey.his_ mouth wide, giving you a clear glimpse into the moist confines of $rey.his_ throat. One hand aligns your cock, while the other slinks down to massage your full balls. When everything is set, Rey lunges forward, encircling $rey.his_ lush lips around the base of your cock. $rey.He pauses, letting your cock sit in $rey.his_ mouth as $rey.his_ saliva wets it. Rey's insides stick tight to your skin, the warm flesh surrounding and brushing against your length. Rey repeatedly swallows, content to milk the head peeking deep in $rey.his_ throat. But you aren't. You start to thrust, groaning when Rey flattens $rey.his_ tongue against the underside of your cock. $rey.He hollows $rey.his_ cheeks, sucking and slurping as you move your hips in earnest. The constant pressure drives you wild. Rey looks up, $rey.his_ face caught in a half-pained grimace. $rey.His_ button nose is scrunched, while above $rey.his_ thin eyebrows knit themselves together. But $rey.his_ doe-eyed gaze glimmers with happiness as wet trails shine on $rey.his_ cheeks. $rey.He earnestly wants you to cum, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes $rey.him. That knowledge sends you to the precipice of oblivion. Rey seems to sense this, for $rey.he redoubles $rey.his_ efforts and starts to moan lewdly. Both of $rey.his_ hands move to your scrotum, $rey.his_ digits tickling and kneading you in a silent entreaty for your cum. $rey.He lovingly stuffs $rey.his_ face with your length, doing all $rey.he can to feel you ejaculate. The pleasure turns white-hot, erupting despite your best efforts to prolong your high. You thrust deep into Rey's throat and cum. Rey twists and continues to moan as you fill $rey.his_ mouth, doing $rey.his_ best to swallow every drop you give $rey.him. It feels like it lasts forever, each eruption sending thick pearls into Rey's hot little mouth. Eventually you pull free, slipping from Rey's mouth despite $rey.his_ protestations. "L-let me clean you!" The horny waif swallows your length one last time, making sure to suck up any remaining semen. $rey.He cups your aching balls, rolling them in $rey.his_ grip as though trying to assure $rey.himself of their weight. Then, and only then, does Rey withdraw. $rey.He tucks your cock away, gently patting the crotch of your pants with a captivated smile. "Good job." You praise $rey.him. //It's very important to acknowledge a job well done,// you think, completely satisfied. "It was my p-pleasure!" Rey rushes to assure you. "Um, if possible... c-can we do it again sometime?" You reach down to cup $rey.his_ chin. Rey goes still under your grip, $rey.his_ head tilt framed by long black hair. You lean down and seal $rey.his_ hot little mouth. You kiss for several minutes, teasing and tantalizing the tongue that had brought you so much pleasure. When you finally pull back Rey's face is slack from bliss. $rey.His_ mouth hangs open, $rey.his_ own heavy pants and quivering figure letting Rey know your answer. "Of course." You wave goodbye to the drooling <<if $rey.gender === $Character.gender.Female>>girl<<else>>trap<</if>> and resume your day.

You resist your urges, instead lowering one of your hands to rest on Rey's head. You pat $rey.him exactly like you would an obedient dog. Rey sighs, content with your touch. "Um, h-how long d-do you want me to wear this?" Rey squeaks as $rey.his_ hands rise up to incessantly brush against $rey.his_ new collar. "For the rest of the day," You answer, a smirk forming on your lips. //You deserve it for getting me wound up//, an evil thought escapes before you manage to squash it.

end note: a little variation + a little sexy times if you so choose. Pretty small and I reused a few bits (mainly describing collar context and a few structure thingys) but hopefully made it varied enough between reactions. Didn't want to be too mean this time lol 1A and 2A lead to same choices but have different stats needed to trigger them. I used no dialogue in 1A to highlight Rey's trust, while 2A is a request from Rey highlighting his affection. The branch follows that logic. i know my number/letter labeling needs some work lol, but this is the only way my brain can make sense of all the branches and choices, especially within sub choices and the like.

You shade your eyes from the sun's glare, your gaze naturally drawn to the area's centerfold: a large, ornate fountain. Rey's sitting cross-legged on the fountain's lip, giggling as $rey.he splashes water around with airy abandon. You wonder what could have captured Rey's coquettish sense of eagerness so thoroughly.

<<if $rey.affection gte 700 and $rey.fear lte 300 and $rey.trust gte 500>>You near the fountain, recognizing the small shadow tucked into Rey's embrace. A small rabbit is shivering within Rey's embrace. Its white fur is matted with grime and dirt of every variety. You are blown away by the pair's innocence for a solid minute, reveling in Rey's muted coos and happy squeals. Surprisingly enough, the rabbit tolerates Rey's treatment with grace unbecoming a wild animal. Its whiskers twitch with comfort at the princess treatment, and you swear the rabbit's eyes just narrowed in pleasure. //They make a cute pair,// you muse as you come to stand behind Rey. $rey.He glances up at you, big green eyes glimmering with gratitude. The rabbit squirms every now and then in mock anger, but settles itself when it hears Rey's murmur. $rey.He's stuck nursing the prideful animal... you gather Rey doesn't mind. You freeze when you realize what Rey's been whispering to the damn thing. "Mm! Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>> is so cute. I wanna pick you up and wash you and pet you and cuddle you and feed you and..." You quickly walk away, shivers crawling down your spine. Rey might be talking to $rey.his_ rabbit, but you'd best make a hasty escape before becoming cursed by cuteness. You resume your day with a smile sticking to your face. <<elseif $rey.affection lte 400 or $rey.fear gte 750>>You stomp towards the fountain, setting your face into a fierce scowl. You have no idea how long Rey's been goofing off. Rey twists in a panic when $rey.he hears your footsteps, revealing the small shadow $rey.he'd been absorbed with. A small rabbit shivers within Rey's embrace. Its white fur is matted with grime and dirt of every variety. It starts to struggle violently as you approach, eventually breaking from Rey's arms. Rey whimpers with loss as the small shadow darts madly across the pavement. "Um, I-I, err..." $rey.His_ stutter fades away to shame-faced hand wringing. You glare at $rey.his_ disgusting display and bark, "I need an explanation." "I w-was washing L-Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. H-He-" Rey hiccups under the pressure and quickly caves in, explaining how $rey.he and the little rabbit met. Rey would have kept blabbering on if you didn't cut $rey.him off for a second time. "Too bad. If I catch you neglecting your duties for a wild animal again, we'll be cooking 'Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>' for lunch. I wonder what I taste like." You sneer maliciously, relishing in the way Rey cringes in horror. You sweep your gaze up and down Rey's slender body, making sure $rey.he knows who $rey.his_ master is. You leave the girly servant to cry alone by the fountain. <<set $rey.affection -= 1>><<set $rey.fear += 1>><<else>>You approach the fountain, Rey's peculiar actions tickling your sense of curiosity. Once you get within arms reach you realize what has been absorbing your dainty servant's attention. A small rabbit is shivering within Rey's embrace. Its white fur is matted with grime and dirt of every variety. Rey coos happily as $rey.he scoops up water and pours it over the rabbit's dirt-encrusted form. Surprisingly enough, the rabbit tolerates Rey's treatment with grace unbecoming a wild animal. Its whiskers twitch with comfort at the princess treatment, and you swear the rabbit's eyes just narrowed in pleasure. You can't help but feel a little envious of how devoted Rey is to the little bugger. Rey twitches when $rey.he notices your presence, but retains $rey.his_ composure long enough to mouth "please" to you. $rey.His_ dainty hands continue to scrub at the rabbit's snarled fur. The little thing looks almost comatose from pleasure. //Fine,// you sigh helplessly. You don't have the heart to ruin the poor animal's day. You give Rey a small glare, letting $rey.him know $rey.he's not off the hook for playing hooky with $rey.his_ chores. Rey's slender figure flinches, but $rey.he firms $rey.his_ resolve and nods in reply. //Good,// you think, hiding your smile.

<<if $rey.fear gte 900>>"Rey!" You yell in anger. You can't go two seconds without a servant or slave slacking off. Everything here needs your personal attention. "What do you think you're doing?" You snarl from a distance, noticing the small shadow in Rey's arms. Rey flops backwards into the fountain with a loud splash. $rey.His_ body locks down under the echoes of your shout, paralyzed by fear or incompetence. //A fool's heart//, you snort as you get a good look at what Rey had been absorbed by. A small rabbit darts free from Rey's slackened embrace, fur matted with dirt. The little thing almost freezes from terror when it sees you, turning at a hard angle to avoid coming close. It bolts madly across the pavement, vanishing into the undergrowth after merely a single breath's pause. You're left with a useless, soaked waif. Rey sobs bitterly as $rey.he climbs to $rey.his_ feet, $rey.his_ outfit turning translucent under the water's caress. You turn your eyes away and dress Rey down for a solid span, making sure $rey.he understands how irresponsible $rey.he is. $rey.He quivers from within the fountain, unable to leave until you give $rey.him permission. You cheerfully refuse and continue your tirade. "Nasty things like that could have rabies! Rabies, Rey! What if it bites you? You'll go insane and bite my girls. Absolutely unacceptable. You couldn't make up for that sin if you had a thousand lives. Remember that." Rey shudders and almost collapses when $rey.he hears you say that. "Now get out of my sight." You shake your head at Rey's departing back, trying to remember why you'd accepted $rey.him in the first place. //Oh well. I have other punching bags.// You resume your day. <<set $rey.affection -= 2>><<set $rey.fear += 2>><<elseif $rey.affection gte 650 and $rey.fear lte 550>>"Rey?"

Say hi to your papa, Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>!" Rey twists and offers up a little shadow for your inspection. The shadow shivers, revealing an innocent rabbit huddled within Rey's embrace. Its white fur gleams under the sunlight, still damp from a recent wash. You are blown away by the pair's cuteness for a solid minute, reveling in Rey's muted coos and happy squeals as $rey.he plays under your watchful gaze. Surprisingly enough, the rabbit tolerates Rey's frolicking with grace unbecoming a wild animal. You take a seat on the fountain's edge, content to watch your 'family' play. A sudden thought strikes you. //What if we were a family?// Watching the delicate lines of Rey's body and the way $rey.his_ lush lips twist when happy... it wouldn't be so bad. The idea lingers in your brain long after Rey returns to $rey.his_ chores. A rabbit son and <<if $rey.pronounGender.Feminine>>girlfriend.<<else>>feminine boyfriend.<</if>> You find yourself warming up to the thought, as absurd as it is. //It's just as silly as my reality. Inheriting a mansion filled with sex-slaves is pretty ridiculous,// you admit wryly. After sitting in the sun and admiring the scenery by the fountain for a few minutes, you get up to resume your day. <<set $rey.affection += 1>><<set $rey.fear -= 1>><<else>>"Rey?" You venture, intrigued by Rey's peculiar actions. "Y-Yes?" Rey fumbles around for a good minute while you watch, bemused. $rey.He does $rey.his_ best to hide something behind $rey.his_ back and face you like nothings wrong. "Rey." You quirk an eyebrow, your intent obvious. Rey sighs in defeat. "Um, ok. D-don't laugh at Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. He's shy." Rey twists and offers up a little shadow for your inspection. The shadow shivers, revealing an innocent rabbit huddled within Rey's embrace. Its white fur is matted with grime and dirt of every variety.

Little <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>!" The rabbit vanishes into the undergrowth after merely a single breath's pause. Rey's left dazzled and confused by the fountain's edge. "I'm sure it will be back." You console Rey. It wasn't a lie, either; Rey has a special way with animals of every kind. Something about $rey.him clicks well with the wildlife around the Mansion. "I h-hope so." $rey.He gives you a wan smile, long lashes fluttering uneasily under the sun's glare.

You have no interest in getting tangled into whatever silly game Rey is knee-deep in today. You shake your head at Rey's obliviousness and skirt around the fountain.

You shouldn't have to say anything. //And I won't,// you promise yourself. If Rey can't be bothered to do $rey.his_ job, then you shouldn't be bothered with keeping $rey.him.

Front Yard end note: no sexy times :( I tried to structure each branch so there's a default, then specific stat + bad variation. 1st branch is trust, 2nd branch is affection. I like to make sure the player gets similar info no matter which choice they make. Reaction 3 is simple with small negative if player just doesn't care about rey. Kinda like neutral alignment with a slight downside. I tend to forget connecting words while writing, so if something looks odd or off let me know! fun fact: i listened to the Andrew Sisters the entire time I was writing this.

//Knock, knock.// You pause as you pass by one of the stable's stalls, your ears perking at the sound of a few rhythmic thumps. You come close to peek over the stall door, finding a despondent Rey knocking the handle of a broom against it. A refuse filled bucket sits by $rey.his_ feet. [[Call out.|Submitted Rey Grounds 5a]] [["Ignore " + $rey.him + "."|Submitted Rey Grounds 5b]] Submitted by Ser Laz <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<if $rey.affection gte 400 and $rey.fear lte 300>>"Are you stuck?" You ask, hiding a smile. Rey's gloominess evaporates at the sound of your voice. $rey.He drops the broom in excitement and trots close the stall door. "<<print $rey.callsPlayer>>! Oh thank goodness! I t-thought I was stuck here forever!" Rey's long lashes flutter as $rey.he tilts $rey.his_ head up towards you. "Stuck forever?" You mumble in response, casting a dubious look to the stall door. It isn't locked, so it should be a simple matter of pushing against it. "I"m, um, n-not strong enough." $rey.He explains further, a little blush flushing down from $rey.his_ neck. You frown as you attempt to open the door, understanding dawning on you as you glance at Rey's thin arms. $rey.He might be used to doing outdoor chores, but it hasn't added any meat to $rey.his_ bones. You wonder how $rey.his_ girly figure had managed to get into the stall to begin with. With a few more forceful tugs you manage to prop open the door despite its creaking protestations. "Come on," you motion the absent-minded waif. "You should take a break and come back with me. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, as the quote goes. I want you to be healthy!" "W-well, since I was stuck and all that... I w-want to f-finish cleaning." $rey.His_ frail shoulders droop at your encouragement. You fight the impulse to give Rey a comforting hug. "I see. Next time use something to keep the door cracked, like your bucket or a big rock." You admonish as Rey gathers $rey.his_ cleaning supplies. "Y-yes! I'll d-do that!" Rey chips as $rey.he leaves. You shake your head as Rey skips to the next stall. You remind yourself to drop by here every now and then to make sure Rey doesn't trap $rey.himself. You have a feeling $rey.he'll get $rey.himself into more trouble without a watchful eye on hand. "Um, thank you!" Rey's unique lilts tickles your ears as you leave $rey.him to $rey.his_ work. <<else>>"Are you ok, Rey?" You ask, concern creeping into your words. $rey.He flinches at the sudden noise, but perks when $rey.he recognizes your voice. A deep blush spreads across $rey.his_ face. $rey.He purses $rey.his_ lips, pushing the shame aside to come close. "Um, y-yeah. I can't open this door back up!" Rey exclaims. "I thought I was d-done for. I tried opening the door, but stopped when my arms t-turned into noodles. N-nobody came after I yelled for ten minutes, so I've been knocking on the stall to save up my energy!" You grin at the feminine boy's choice of words. You bring your bicep up and flex, comforting, "Well, I'm not made of noodles. Let's get you out of here." You frown as you attempt to open the door, understanding dawning on you as you glance at Rey's thin arms. $rey.He might be used to doing outdoor chores, but it hasn't added any meat to $rey.his_ bones.

end note: I put in way more effort for the nice branch. I was actually stuck for quite awhile trying to come up with mean scenarios where you ignore Rey, but I don't have the heart to fully committ to it. I spent an hour writing the nice parts and like 3 to come up with a few mean paragraphs lol. My writing speed sucks :( As always, feel free to change/modify anything to fit code or theme. I didn't describe the stables (or the door) very much in case there are specific plans for that area. It's a simple matter of going back and changing a few words if you want to add locks or something to the doors to reflect the uncle's perverseness.

Rey takes the spotlight under the boat house's well-lit interior, drawing your attention to the box $rey.he is nose deep in. $rey.His_ small hands are busy fumbling with various fishing lines, $rey.his_ smooth face locked into an adorable scowl. Much like a growling puppy, it's hard for you to take Rey's various displays of emotion seriously.

I d-didn't m-mean to slack off! P-promise!" Rey flies into a panic, dropping the mess of tangled line to scoot $rey.his_ lithe form to your side. $rey.He's in such a hurry $rey.he forgets to even stand up. You resist the urge to break into laughter as $rey.he crawls over to you like an overgrown puppy. Rey's big eyes glimmer with unshed tears, $rey.his_ lips twisting under a scrunched button nose. You're left looking down at Rey's genuine frown of anxiety. Your mirth is quickly drowned under a few strong pangs of guilt. "A joke! Just a joke, Rey. You don't have to worry." You do your best to reassure the flighty waif. $rey.He settles down after you bring out your trump card: head pets. You crouch down to reach Rey and gently stroke $rey.his_ head. $rey.He almost purs as you run your hands down $rey.his_ length of silky hair. Rey is too absorbed with your petting to make conversation, so you decide to break the awkward silence by questioning $rey.him. "What were you doing with the tackle box, Rey?" You ask curiously. You can't see its contents from your half-crouch by Rey's side, and you're almost too afraid to stop petting Rey. Who knows what a wild Rey might do if $rey.his_ daily pets aren't met. "I was, mm, thinking about, ahh, going to the pond to, mm, fish after my work today. I started, ahh, cleaning and noticed the, mm, the mess the tackle boxes are in. Mmm, then... w-wait don't stop!" $rey.He latches onto your hand with both $rey.his_ own.

Rey pouts, and holds $rey.his_ position. $rey.He immediately caves when you pretend to stand. "Okay! I won't moan. I p-promise." You resume stroking $rey.his_ head as a reward. $rey.He bites $rey.his_ lip to keep silent, the action sending a pulse of heat to your loins. "Um, everything else is done, I'm just stuck on this." Rey finishes lamely. $rey.He mewls in protest when you stand, but soon settles down upon noticing your seriousness. You run your eyes over the interior, noticing Rey's words to be true. Knotted fishing cords aside, the tackle boxes have their contents neatly ordered. The rest of the shed is organized in similar fashion, touches of Rey's single-minded work ethic showing in small ways. You let a satisfied smile show on your face. "Good job." You say gravely. Rey's big eyes widen as $rey.his_ hands dart up to cover the lush 'O' $rey.his_ lips are making. Stunned, you're lost in $rey.his_ features for a few seconds. $rey.He reddens under your intense gaze, $rey.his_ lashes fluttering coyly. You heave a sigh in your heart. //It's hard to believe $rey.he isn't a girl.// You break your stare and leave, chuckling when Rey stifles a girly squeal of disappointment behind you. <<elseif $rey.affection lte 300 or $rey.fear gte 700>>"What are you doing?"

end note: This is meant as a short encounter giving a little life to outside areas. Evil paths are almost identical because (as usual) I find it hard to be mean. I hope the other reactions are varied/entertaining enough to make up for it. I did trust for the joking section cuz it will take A LOT of mutual trust to get Rey to joke around without reservation. Affection for the more physical part, cuz you know, that's how affection be and all that. Setting up some hints to check out fishing if the PC hasn't already. I'd like to have scenes with Rey and the PC fishing like there are with Eve and hide and seek, but don't know how to implement that. Maybe a system similar to Eve and her hide-n-seek, just outside and by the pond? i hope you enjoyed.

Rey's distinctive giggle sounds in time with the automatic sprinklers, drawing your attention to a row of planters.

You ask after clearing your throat, your voice somewhat husky. "Um, m-maybe..." Rey admits shyly as $rey.he fidgets in place. $rey.His_ body quivers beneath your lingering stare. The sprinklers continue to drizzle fine mist as you both stare at each other. Rey's big eyes fixate on your body, prompting a few shivers of your own. The silence persists for a while as both of you are content to luxuriate in the moment's mutual comfort. The automatic sprinklers abruptly shut off, waking you and Rey from your shared trance. "Do you want to keep interrupting?" Rey whispers, $rey.his_ voice barely above a mosqito's buzz. You pause, shaken by Rey's unexpected forwardness. Keep interrupting?

"I think I do." You state, matter-of-fact. Your frank reply seems to catch Rey by surprise. $rey.He blinks a few times, realization hitting $rey.him a few seconds later. A girly squeal of excitement escapes the trap. The noise sends $rey.him into a flurry of embarrassment, both of $rey.his_ hands frantically trying to cover the sound's cute origin. You smile at Rey's antics. "I mean, if your work is more important..." "<<print $rey.callsPlayer>>, you are //much// more important than my chores!" Rey blurts out, $rey.his_ soft lilt ringing throughout the greenhouse's humid interior. Rey's restless fidgeting finally boils over with this disclosure. $rey.His_ big, doe-like eyes moisten as $rey.he scrambles into your embrace. $rey.His_ body is blazing hot despite the sprinkler's best efforts. Rey wraps $rey.himself around you, doing $rey.his_ best to transmit the heat thrumming inside $rey.his_ sensual form. You let your hands run across $rey.his_ soft skin, marveling at the supple curves resisting your touch. $rey.He demands further affection with a simple pout.

You meet $rey.his_ expectations and seal $rey.his_ velvet mouth. $rey.He whimpers as you tease and strongly suck on $rey.his_ tongue, your lips grazing harshly against Rey's little mouth. Every fiber of Rey wants to entwine and melt around you, regardless of $rey.his_ own comfort or safety. Rey's submissiveness serves only to inflame your growing lust. "P-Please, I'm, um, itching down there. I need you!" Rey moans as soon as you separate, $rey.his_ button-nose flaring with arousal. "Lube?" You ask, breathless from Rey's physical and single-minded devotion. "I always k-keep a little bottle with me. J-Just in case!" Rey manages to stutter out as $rey.he twists with shame in your arms. $rey.His_ little admission sends all the blood to rush down into your groin. Your erection grinds against Rey's front, instinctively searching for more pleasure. $rey.He coos happily when $rey.he feels your bulge and turns around, pressing $rey.his_ plump ass into your groin. The trap looks up as $rey.he grinds against you, the bare skin of $rey.his_ back rubbing across your clothed stomach and chest. "Wait," You say as you gently nudge the wanton trap from your arms. "Let's get undressed." Rey nods. Constant, faint sighs escape $rey.his_ willowy throat as $rey.he reaches for your pants. $rey.His_ restless stance and hazy gaze is enough to clue you in on Rey's current state. //Rey is primed//. $rey.He undresses you with surprising finesse, rubbing and stroking your body as much as $rey.he can in the process.

The contrast of daylight pouring in from above while you're gloriously naked inside frays your nerves with tension, despite the almost zero risk of getting caught. Rey quickly follows suit. $rey.He struggles free of $rey.his_ pants with a womanly twist, $rey.his_ full butt quivering under your appreciative leer. Rey bites $rey.his_ lip as $rey.his_ pair of frilled panties is unveiled to the world. The fabric runs tight against $rey.his_ silky skin, scantily clad over $rey.his_ own display of yearning.

You heave a sigh, Rey's eagerness to do //anything// always catching you by surprise. If you aren't careful, one of these days you'll wake in bed with Rey busy servicing you beneath the sheets. "No, I promised to help Anna with something in a few minutes." You come up with an excuse on the spot. $rey.He seems to sense this, for $rey.his_ posture wilts with your refusal. "I understand. Um, one d-day I'll be perfect, I promise! Just wait for me!" You can do nothing but nod, frozen by $rey.his_ fervent admission. "I-I need to finish my chores, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>." Rey comes up with $rey.his_ own reason to escape the now-awkward situation. You linger for a few seconds, wanting to do something to alleviate the pain you can see behind Rey's green eyes. A trembling smile greets your efforts before the slender servant picks up the shears and gets back to work. You curb your instinct to let another sigh loose. //I need to give $rey.him some space//, you think to yourself. You cast a glance back as you leave.

end note: I wanted to do a semi-interactive sex scene, tho I feel like I'm not smart enough to organize it properly. Please take the sex mess and arrange it so it makes sense lol. I tried to insert a little code I gleaned from dissecting similar scenes but it quickly devolved into a mess. I don't have the confidence to change little variables without borking the whole line and thus making the work required grow even more. My writing tends to be on the flowery side (especially in sex scenes) so I'm not entirely sure if its a good fit for interactive sex scenes. I guess this can be a good test! Feel free to change anything to fit code or theme.

You make your way to the greenhouse to check on the fruit to find Rey already tending to the Tomatoes.

The Sun shines in the greenhouse which adds to Rey's sweating and thus glistening body. “I can’t believe he is a guy” You think to yourself, guiltily admiring the view. Shortly after, Rey gets up and moves on to his other chores. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Gil Lionaire

You spot an unattended lawnmower out on the grass. Just as you are about to find someone, Rey skips past you, humming a cheerful tune as $rey.he makes a beeline towards the equipment. A little "H-Hi!", is all you get as Rey starts the mower and gets to work.

As you shade your eyes from the sun, your gaze lingers on the fountain. Rey stands before the ornate thing, both of $rey.his_ hand tightly gripping something. It isn't until Rey throws it into the water and clasps $rey.his_ hands to pray do you realize $rey.he's thrown a coin in. $rey.He mutters something before bending over and snatching $rey.his_ coin back. $rey.He resumes $rey.his_ duties with renewed vigor.

Rey rocks from side to side as $rey.he works, clipping away at a bit of brush threatening to overtake the long driveway. $rey.He's lost in $rey.his_ own world, eyes curved and sweat shining on $rey.his_ brow.

Rey darts from the shed, tools of various sizes piled high in $rey.his_ arms. Rey squeaks a greeting as $rey.he shambles past, $rey.his_ dainty figure completely at odds with the garderner's tool-set $rey.he uses on a daily basis.

You step aside to make room for Rey, who bounds in with such energy you'd swear $rey.he just started the day's work. However, the grass stains on $rey.his_ uniform and frayed black hair tell a different story. $rey.He ruffles around in search of particular tool. Whenever $rey.he finds something $rey.he needs, $rey.he exclaims happily and half-jumps in place.

You see Rey hard at work, keeping the shrubbery at bay with a large pair of shears. $rey.He spends a few minutes clipping away before moving to the next. $rey.His_ uniform sticks close to $rey.his_ slender form as $rey.he tends the grounds.

Rey's standing stock still within the greenhouse, head tilted up like $rey.he's waiting for something. Curious, you stop and watch $rey.him. It isn't long before the misters kick in, sending a fine drizzle of water down. Rey giggles happily and spins, delighting in the cool droplets of water running across $rey.his_ skin.

You spot Rey on $rey.his_ hands and knees inside one of the cages. $rey.His_ little butt wriggles in the air as $rey.he struggles to scoop some spilled dog food back into a bowl. You take a moment to admire Rey's girlish curves as $rey.he works.

Rey moves in and out of the stalls, making small alterations to the equipment within. You don't really see the difference from before Rey's interference, but $rey.he nods and hums happily after moving a few things around.

Rey moves back and forth in strange dance as $rey.he glides a net across the pool's surface. The cuffs of $rey.his_ uniform are rolled up, as though to ward against the possibility of getting wet. You consider pointing out the fact that the only way $rey.he's getting wet is if $rey.he //falls// in, but decide to spare yourself the hassle.

Rey and Eve's laughter is almost ear-piercingly loud within the garage. The pair decided to wash your car, but somewhere along the way the object being washed had changed. Eve cackles madly as she brandishes a soapy sponge, while Rey giggles as $rey.he uses a bucket for a shield. Your poor, unwashed car sits in the corner, long forgotten.

<<if $yamiGaia lte 1>>As you step outside carrying a couple of apples, you notice Yami sitting in the shade at the side of the house, wiping her sword down with a black cloth and a small bottle of liquid. Pausing briefly, she glances up to nod a greeting before doing a double-take at the sight of the apples you're holding. "What are you doing?" [[Answer her.|Submitted Yami Gaia Scene 1a]] [[Ignore her.|Submitted Yami Gaia Scene 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<else>>As you step outside carrying an armful of apples, you notice Yami lying on the lawn looking up at the sky, her hands folded behind her head and legs crossed. Walking over to her, you smirk. "Busy patrolling, I see." "I just needed a little break. I’m not an automaton, you know." Yami scowls at you, then eyes the apples in your arms. "Bringing more apples out to Gaia, are you? Why not try something other than apples for a change?" You mull it over, then shrug. "Ehh... apples get the best results. I don’t want her biting into an orange rind and then getting pissy because of how bitter it tastes." "Then peel it beforehand, //baka//." Yami rolls her eyes, getting up and jogging back towards the house. "Honestly..." As Yami disappears into the manor, you shrug to yourself and resume your walk towards the forest. As you approach the edge of the forest, you glimpse Gaia lurking in the underbrush. Grinning, you wave to her... careful not to drop any of the apples this time. Gaia emerges from the forest and jogs towards you, dropping her spear. Before you can slow down she’s inside your personal space sniffing at the apples with a hungry gleam in her eye. Without even using her hands, she bites into one of the apples and darts back, smiling triumphantly with it still clamped between her teeth. As she ravenously devours the apple, sending chunks flying everywhere, you sit down and arrange the apples so that there’s a few for you... and most for her, of course. As Gaia reaches for a second apple, she freezes and looks up sharply. Turning, you see Yami approaching with a platter of fruit. Immediately Gaia leaps off the ground, but instead of fleeing she slowly approaches Yami, less wary than before but still guarded. When Yami gets within five paces, making a concerted effort not to look anywhere other than Gaia’s face, Gaia growls and she stops abruptly. For a moment you’re afraid Yami will respond with aggression, but instead she slowly lowers the fruit platter to the ground and takes a couple of steps back. "Holy crap, Yami..." You marvel at the selection of fruit on display: mandarin oranges -- all peeled, pineapple rings, cherries, watermelon slices, and an assortment of other sweet fruit. //Looks like Yami’s picked up on Gaia having a sweet tooth...// Inching closer to the platter of fruit, Gaia sniffs the selection warily, though her eyes dart to the peeled oranges and she immediately grabs as many as she can before scuttling back to cram them into her mouth. "She’s such a messy eater..." Yami grumbles, sitting on the opposite side of the tray and selecting a pineapple slice. "Well... she hasn’t had anyone to teach her manners... like, at all." You shrug, biting into one of the apples and relishing the crisp crunch and sweet taste of the juices. //Gaia’s really missing out on these...// Gaia crawls back towards the platter, orange juice dripping from her chin. As she brushes past you, you playfully nudge her and she pauses to look at you as you hold up an apple. She takes it and licks the surface, trailing her tongue over it before biting into it. Sitting upright on her haunches, she greedily devours the apple, crooning in delight and then reaching for another one. As she picks it up and lifts it to her mouth, you stick your tongue out at Yami. "How do you like them apples, Yami?" "It’s not like it’s a competition..." Yami speaks through a mouthful of green melon, swallowing before continuing. "I just thought she might enjoy something other than apples for a change." As she reaches towards the platter, Gaia does the same and then stops abruptly, her hand an inch away from Yami’s. Frowning, Yami takes a watermelon slice and pokes Gaia’s hand with it. "You want this?" Gaia jerks back with Yami’s movement, but you place a reassuring hand on her and she slowly eases her hand back down. As she hesitantly grabs the watermelon slice, her fingers brush against Yami’s and she stops, her eyes flickering between their hands as she makes a curious cooing noise. As Yami rolls her eyes and lets go of the watermelon slice, Gaia yanks her hand back at the movement, ducking behind you. Turning, you shoot Gaia a sympathetic glance as she cautiously sniffs the watermelon slice, nibbling at it. "Hey, hey, it’s OK. She’s not going to hurt you..." You shoot Yami a look, "Right?" "Honestly, that depends on her." Yami leans back and fixes you with a stern stare, nodding to where Gaia’s spear is lying on the ground. "She’s unpredictable. Dangerous." She shifts her gaze to Gaia, frowning as she bites into a ripe pear -- sending the juices cascading towards her chin. [[Point out Yami’s hypocrisy.|Submitted Yami Gaia Scene 2a]] [[Stay silent.|Submitted Yami Gaia Scene 2b]]<<addtime { minute : 11 }>><</if>> Submitted by Asura

You shrug, immediately regretting doing so as the motion almost causes several of the apples to topple to the ground. "Oh, just carrying a snack for Gaia. She likes apples, so I bring them to her on the odd occasion. What are //you// doing?" You eye the bottle sitting next to her curiously. "Sword maintenance." Yami replies, shooting you a look as though that should have been obvious. "This stuff-" she gives the bottle a little shake "-is a special polish. Supposed to make wood treated in it harder than steel." "Does it?" You eye the bottle skeptically. //Seems like something a hustler would say to move product...// "Care to find out?" Yami grins wickedly, and you flinch instinctively, fumbling the apples. Rolling her eyes, she sets her sword down and helps gather them. "I was just joking, //baka//." She picks up the bottle, examining it thoughtfully before pocketing it. "It hasn't failed me yet, at any rate, but I'm running low. It's supposed to last a lifetime, but I reapply it yearly just to be on the safe side." She picks up the wooden sword and slips it into her belt, patting it. "This is all I have left of my mother, after all." "Huh... well, I'll leave you to it, then." You resume walking back towards the forest when you notice Yami ducking into the kitchen. "Where are you going?" Yami peeks back around the door. "Is it just apples that Gaia likes?" "You mean, will she eat other fruit?" You pause, frowning thoughtfully. "I think she'll eat most anything, but she seems particularly fond of apples." "Right." Yami ducks back in, and you shrug to yourself and resume your walk back towards the forest. As you approach the edge of the forest, you glimpse Gaia lurking in the underbrush. Grinning, you wave to her... and drop one of the apples. As you stop to gather it and inadvertently drop the other, Gaia emerges from the forest and sidles towards you. "Hey, Gaia." You pick up one of the apples and brush it off. She snatches it from your hand before you can react, biting into it ravenously. "Whoa, easy! Slow down or you'll choke!" Gaia growls as you reach out to her, baring her teeth, before happily resuming eating the apple down to the core. Grabbing a second apple, she snuggles against you, clearly contented.

//She's like a cat...// On impulse, you gently lay your hand on the top of Gaia's head. She stiffens at the touch, turning to look at you with a wary yet inquisitive expression. "It's OK. I'm not gonna hurt you." Gently, you begin patting her head, and Gaia slowly relaxes; even leaning in to your touch. Her hair is a tangled, grimy mess, and you think you feel things moving in it. //Eww... eww... eww...// Still, Gaia seems happy, munching an apple... and then she drops it and scrambles to her feet, hissing.

You bring you hand up to stroke her head, but think better of it. //Don't wanna spook her...// You lower your hand to rest in your lap, Gaia looking at you inquisitively. Your gaze is drawn to her breasts and the tangled patch of hair between her legs, but you grimace as she suddenly shifts so that she's draped across your lap. //Bad idea...// Inhaling deeply, you avert your gaze from Gaia's body and instead focus on her face. Gaia croons as she munches an apple, dribbling the juices all over her face... and then she drops it and scrambles to her feet, looking around wildly for where she dropped her spear. Her sudden motion knocks you flat on your back, and you sit up to see what's spooked her.

Yami is walking across the lawn towards you, holding a tray with an assortment of fruit. //Peaches, pears, oranges, watermelon...// As Gaia tenses, you reach out and touch her. Jolting, Gaia turns to look at you with fear and alarm; an expression you remember all-too well from when you first started interacting with her. Noticing Yami tensing at the same time, you motion for her to stop. "Easy, Gaia. It's okay..." You keep your tone soothing, motioning for Yami to put the platter down and step away. Frowning, Yami sets the tray down and backs away. Taking Gaia's hand, you give it a reassuring squeeze and gently whisper to her. "It's okay. It's okay." Gently tugging Gaia's hand, you lead her over to the platter of fruit and select a couple of orange slices, popping one into your mouth. It's sweet, with a slight tangy undertone. "Mmm." You make a show of enjoying the taste, Gaia growling as you offer her the second slice. "It's good." You motion for Gaia to open her mouth, but she only growls. Shrugging, you pop the second orange slice into your mouth. "Mmm..." As you eat a third slice, you notice Gaia's eyes following the fruit from the tray to your mouth. "Do you want it?" You hold the slice out, and Gaia opens her mouth and then lunges her head forward. You feel her teeth graze your fingers as she snatches the orange slice, her lips closing around your fingers. You release the slice and pull your hand back, fingers slick with her saliva. Gaia bites down and then lets out a squeal of what sounds like delight, squirming. Leaning across you, she snatches up as many orange slices as she can fit and crams them all into her mouth, juices oozing from the corners of her mouth as she chews, her eyes glazed over. As she swallows, Gaia scans the tray for any more orange slices before curiously eyeing the other fruits. Flopping down on her belly, she begins sampling each, spitting out and tossing aside the ones not to her taste. Yami edges closer and stands behind you, in the middle of peeling another orange. Turning you look up at her and then smirk. "Enjoying the view, Yami?" As Yami opens her eyes to voice an indignant retort, Gaia in the middle of gorging herself on a watermelon slice tenses and twists to look up at Yami as she rips the peeled orange in half, her eyes flickering from her to the proffered orange. "It's okay..." Yami whispers in a soothing tone. Gaia's breathing rate increases and you can see her muscles tensing as her fight or flight response kicks in, but Yami is standing between her and her spear. As Gaia opens her mouth to snarl, Yami does something you would have never considered attempting: with a smirk, she pops half of the peeled orange into Gaia's mouth. Gaia's teeth snap shut in an attempt to bite her, but Yami flicks her fingers back. Orange juice and saliva ooze from between Gaia's bared teeth, the sweetness causing her to briefly swoon. Ripping off a chunk of orange, Yami pops it into her own mouth before proffering the other piece to Gaia, who warily leans forward to sniff it before snatching it away and cramming it greedily into her mouth. Panting, Gaia looks up at Yami with a mix of fear and confusion, looking between her and you in a way that keeps Yami in her field of vision. Cracking her neck, Yami stands aside and Gaia lunges towards her spear. For a moment you're afraid Yami will do something like attack Gaia, but instead she watches silently as Gaia rips the spear from where she planted it, wheeling to face her. Yami tenses but holds up her hands to show she is unarmed. To your surprise, you see her sword isn't even at her waist. //Yami...// You can't even compute how exposed and vulnerable Yami must be feeling. "Calm down..." You whisper, unsure which of them you are addressing. "She won't hurt you." Yami's only response is to position herself between you and Gaia, tensing even more; her teeth gritting as she fixes her gaze on Gaia's spear. Gaia backs away, looking from you to Yami with a confused expression. Then she's gone, disappearing into the woods. Yami doesn't relax until Gaia disappears into the forest; sighing as she hugs herself. "Are you OK?" You reach out to her, and to your surprise she lets you place a hand on her shoulder. "I'm fine." Yami pulls away and picks up the tray, eyeballing the mess with amused disgust. "Ugh... she's quite the messy eater, isn't she." You chuckle, examining the scattered bits of fruit left over from Gaia's feeding frenzy. "I'd say this went rather well." Yami scoffs, but you shake your head. "Keep at it, and she'll get used to you... and you'll get used to her." You smirk at the faint blush you see color Yami's cheeks. //Heh... looks like someone was enjoying the view after all.// "What are you laughing at, heretic?" Yami snaps, but there's no venom in her voice. "Stop snickering and help me clean up!" [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 12 }>><<set $yami.affection += 1>>

You consider answering, but you don't want to drop the apples and risk bruising them. Ignoring Yami, who scowls at you, you cross the lawn and carefully lay the apples out. //There.// Right on cue, Gaia pokes her head out of the forest and grins as she sees you or more specifically, your apples. As she sprints towards you, however, she stops short and growls. Turning your head, you see she is staring at Yami, who is walking towards the two of you with an annoyed expression. Gaia's eyes flicker between Yami, you, and the apples, as though gaging whether or not to snatch them and flee or protect you or them from the approaching threat. "Ora!" Yami curls her lips into a snarl, rolling the "r" sound into a growl. "I asked you what you were doing, but I guess the answer should have been obvious!" "Um... what?" You're taken aback by Yami's sudden anger. Gaia whines, shooting the apples a longing look before booking it into the woods. //And there she goes.// "Thanks a lot, Yami. What'd you do that for?" Again Yami shoots you a look, as though the answer should be obvious. "Look, Gaia and I may have gotten off to a rough start at first, but-" "///Urusai!// It's my job to protect your sorry ass, and frankly I don't trust her... is what I'd like to say." Yami watches as Gaia disappears into the forest, then turns to continue scowling at you. "But if anything I should be protecting her from you!" "What?" You stare incredulously at her. "What's that supposed to mean?!" "Now that I think about it, it's obvious what you're doing." Yami jabs her finger accusingly at you, glaring. "Plying her with gifts, taking advantage of her innocence and/or psychosis in order to have your way with her!" "That's..." //actually not far from the truth.// You realize, grimacing inwardly. "Do you honestly think I could do anything non-consensual to Gaia? She'd shank me in a heartbeat." Yami growls in response, glaring at you. As she turns to storm off, she makes an "I'm watching you!" gesture. //Sheesh. There's paranoid, and then there's Yami...// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 1>><<set $yami.fear += 1>><<set $yami.trust -= 1>>

As you step outside you see Yami is already waiting by the forest edge with a platter of assorted fruit. //Getting started without me...// You roll your eyes and smirk as you set off to join her, spotting a hint of movement at the forest’s edge. Slowly, quietly, Gaia emerges from the foliage and creeps towards Yami with her spear raised. Dread immediately fills you. //Oh no...// [[Call out.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 3a]] [[Wait to see what happens.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 3b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 3}>>

"Yami, watch out!" You shout. Yami doesn’t react, but Gaia jumps and almost drops her spear, turning and bolting into the forest. As you run over, Yami scowls at you. "I knew she was there, Boss, and if I thought she posed a threat I would have acted accordingly." You open your mouth to protest, but her her cold expression causes the words to die in your throat. Gathering up the fruit platter, Yami walks back towards the manor, pausing only to glare at you over her shoulder.

As you hold your breath, Gaia readies her spear. //This is bad...// The feral woman stabs, the spear missing Yami by an inch and impaling a miniature watermelon. As she draws it back, however, Yami snatches the fruit off and rips it in two, tossing the larger piece to Gaia. As Yami grins at her, Gaia narrows her eyes and scowls before warily prodding the chunk. Satisfied it’s not a threat, Gaia starts to eat, messily devouring the fruit and crunching the hard green shell. <<if $gaia.affection gte 700>>As you edge closer, Gaia reaches for a mandarin orange, Yami picking one up and passing it to her. Gaia pauses as their hands brush, and then turns to look at you. Yami doesn’t react to your presence, allowing Gaia to lift her hand and wave it as she makes an excited cooing sound - holding both Yami’s and her own hand out so you can see their similar skin tones, before peering at your own much-lighter hands with an almost-confused expression. Distracting Gaia by rolling an orange across the lawn, Yami lets out a cross between a chuckle and a sigh. "She’s finally gotten the hang of peeling them with her hands." She gestures to where Gaia has pounced on the orange and is ripping the rind off, impatient to get at the sweet fruit underneath. "The two of you seem to be getting along well," You note as Gaia triumphantly carries the orange over in her mouth and flops over in your lap. "Oomph..." You pat her shoulder and she rolls over onto her back and wiggles like a dog expecting a tummy rub. //I wonder if I could...// Yami clears her throat, Gaia jolting at the sound before slowly relaxing. "Bringing her food seems to have lessened her hostility towards me a little, though she’s still very skittish." Yami raises her hand and reaches towards Gaia, who scrambles to her feet and backs away with a wary expression. "Give her time." You reach your own hand out to Gaia and she trots over, pressing her forehead against it and letting you tussle her hair a little - grimacing at the grimy feel. //We really need to work on giving her a bath...// She stares intently at you, and you realize she’s waiting for you to give her an apple. //Dammit... I forgot them!// Something hard and round presses into your free hand, and you glance at Yami before taking hold of it. It’s an apple, though of a different variety from the ones you usually bring. Gaia watches the exchange intently, her gaze fixed on the apple as you hold it out to her. Before you can even react, Gaia snatches the apple out of your hands and takes a massive bite out of it, her cheeks ballooning as she chews. Almost immediately she lets out a squeal of delight, rocking back and forth. As Yami chuckles at her reaction, Gaia abruptly stiffens and lunges for her spear before taking off towards the forest. Yami leaps to her feet as well, drawing her sword in the same motion, and running after Gaia. Gaia hesitates upon seeing Yami approach with her weapon drawn, but Yami shifts her stance to be less aggressive. "Lead the way. If there’s an enemy, if there’s prey, I will help you." Gaia tilts her head, confused, and then takes off towards the forest. Sighing, Yami sheathes her sword. "Oh well, worth a shot." As she gathers up the mostly-unfinished fruit platter, you shoot her a quizzical glance, trying to parse out a way to ask the question on your mind. "Why’d you go after Gaia?" "Figured she could use backup in case she finds herself up against something dangerous." Yami shrugs indifferently... though you’re beginning to suspect that indifference is feigned. //Yami’s worried about her...// You almost smile. "I’ll stay here in case she comes back." Yami nods and tosses you a few mandarine oranges. As she disappears into the manor, you settle back and wait to see if Gaia will return. She ultimately doesn’t, so you stand up, stretching to relieve tension in your back. Your legs are numb from sitting for so long, and you stagger for a few minutes before your nerves reboot. //Time to get back to business, I guess.// <<else>>As you edge closer, Gaia freezes and growls, edging away from you. Yami stiffens and starts to draw her sword, then stops and sits back down. "Oh. It’s just you." You’re not sure whether she sounds relieved or disappointed or just plain indifferent, but she picks up a mandarin orange and rolls it across the lawn. Gaia pounces after it, batting it around like a kitten would a ball of yarn."Would you believe she tried to eat the rind?" Yami sighs, shaking her head. You watch Gaia poke the orange, staring at it distrustfully - like it’s an old friend who deeply betrayed her. "Yes. Yes I would." You have to chuckle at the mental image. //Poor Gaia probably got quite the surprise...// "Had to show her how to peel them..." Yami nods to where Gaia is ripping off the orange’s skin and greedily cramming the wedges into her mouth. As if sensing your gazes on her, Gaia glances up and hunkers protectively over her prize, glaring at you just as much as Yami. "Hey, Gaia, chill..." You try to keep your voice soothing. "I thought we was peoples." "Don’t. Just... don’t." Yami sighs in disgust, rolling another small watermelon for Gaia to chase. After she tires of batting it around the lawn, she smashes it with both fists and croons as she consumes the red pulp. Once finished, Gaia sits up and warily regards you and Yami, her gaze flickering towards the fruit platter. "If you want more, you’ll have to come get it." Yami admonishes, sliding the platter a little towards Gaia. Relaxing ever so slightly, Gaia crawls over towards you and grabs an apple off the platter, taking a massive bite out of it. Almost immediately she lets out a squeal of delight, rocking back and forth. As Yami chuckles at her reaction, Gaia abruptly stiffens and lunges for her spear before taking off towards the forest. Yami leaps to her feet as well, drawing her sword in the same motion, and running after Gaia. Gaia hesitates upon seeing Yami approach with her weapon drawn, but Yami shifts her stance to be less aggressive. "Lead the way. If there’s an enemy, if there’s prey, I will help you."

As you approach the pond, you see someone is already there. Pausing, you inch closer until you see that it’s Yami... who is standing naked at the edge of the pier, looking out over the dark waters of the pond. Her clothes and sword are bundled together on the shore at the foot of the pier. //What is she doing?// Frowning, you continue inching closer. A branch snaps, but it’s not your doing. Yami tenses and turns, then relaxes as Gaia emerges from the bushes near the stream that feeds into the pond. Noticing Yami, she stops and tenses as well, staring unabashedly at her exposed body. //Does Gaia even know enough about anatomy to know that Yami is a girl...?// Yami seems... uncomfortable... with Gaia’s intense gaze, but makes no move to cover herself and instead topples backwards into the pond. As the seconds pass, Gaia starts getting increasingly agitated... and you are as well. //What if she got her foot stuck or tangled up in something?// [[Dive in and save her.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 4a]] [[Wait.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 4b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 4}>>

You briefly consider running back to the manor to get help, but considering that it’s a ten minute walk you’d be too late even if you ran yourself to exhaustion. Breaking cover, you bolt towards the pier. Gaia scrambles away with an alarmed yelp, vanishing into the forest, but you pay her no heed. Just as you prepare to leap into the water, Yami heaves herself up onto the pier and you crash headlong into her. It’s like running into a brick wall, and the air is crushed from your lungs as you both topple into the water. You bob back up to the surface, coughing violently, but Yami sinks like a stone and disappears from your view. //Oh no...! Did I kill her?// Your saturated clothes threaten to drag you under as well, but you hook your arm around one of the algae-slicked support beams and cough until you can breathe properly again. As you pull yourself up, you catch a faint glimpse of something moving... walking along the bottom of the pond towards the shallows. Underwater, Yami’s hair is suspended and etherial, looking like oily smoke. She glares up at you before resuming her trek across the bottom of the pond, water weeds trailing from her legs. As she surfaces, she exhales before sucking in a lungful of fresh air. As she steps onto dry land, she turns and glares at you. "What the hell!" She storms towards you, her teeth bared in an angry grimace. "I could have drowned, //bakayarō//!" "I’m sorry! I thought you were, so I..." You fall silent as Yami holds up her hand, pinching the bridge of her nose. "You thought I was drowning so you tried to dive in to save me... right?" She narrows her eyes at you. "Leaving aside you spying on me while I’m naked, when have I ever needed saving? I’m not some damsel in distress, you know!" She’s still angry, but the rage flickering at the back of her gaze is dying down. She brushes past you and walks over to where her clothes are, getting dressed. "I see you scared Gaia off as well..." She sighs. "Oh well, I’ll find her again while I’m out on patrol. She thinks she’s being so sneaky, but once you know where to look..." She chuckles to herself, then pauses and composes her face into a serious expression. "Next time, be more careful. Alright?" "Alright..." You wring water out of your shirt. "See you later, then." Yami raises her hand in a half-wave, disappearing into the underbrush; and you set off back down the path towards the manor. //Guess I’ll go swimming another time.// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 8}>><<set $yami.affection += 1>><<set $yami.fear += 1>><<set $yami.trust -= 1>><<set $gaia.fear += 1>>

As you hold your breath, Gaia jogs to the end of the pier and peers down into the dark water. As the seconds tick past she grows increasingly agitated, but Yami’s head breaks the surface further down the shore. "I’m alright, Gaia!" She calls out, combing water from her hair. Gaia jumps and topples into the lake, doggy paddling towards Yami and splashing her. Re-soaked, Yami flashes a vicious grin at Gaia before splashing her back. The two of them flail aimlessly at each other, Yami laughing for once in a way that doesn’t sound menacing or sinister. Moving further towards the shallows, they grapple with each other, though it quickly becomes clear that Yami has a strength advantage. Rather than press it, Yami allows Gaia to overpower her and knock her to the ground, lying on her back in the sand. Circling her, Gaia flops down a short distance away and the for several minutes the two of them just lie there. //At least it looks like they’re getting along now. I should leave before they notice me...// You sigh, but as you settle back a twig snaps under your foot. Gaia and Yami both leap to their feet, looking around for their weapons. //Shit...// You recall an old myth about a hunter who was came across a goddess bathing, and in her rage she turned him into a stag and fed him to his own dogs. As Gaia snatches up her spear and Yami her sword, the two of them stand back-to-back for a moment, their asses almost touching. Then another twig snaps and they turn as a stag steps into the clearing - walking down to the pond to get a drink. Gaia and Yami share a predatory glance before turning to stare hungrily at the stag, which raises his head to look at them, grunting. As the stag shakes its crown of antlers and lets out a shrill bellow, you frown. //I thought deer were supposed to be timid...// Gaia hisses and Yami snarls, the two of them charging the stag... which seems to think better of its odds and turns to flee into the underbrush. Yami doubles back and starts putting her clothes on, Gaia clearly wanting to keep chasing the deer; though she waits until Yami is finished before they set off in pursuit of their prey. //Great... if they get any more coordinated they’ll be hunting in packs...// Shuddering at the mental image, you turn back towards the manor before they decide to start hunting you instead.

As Yami emerges from the forest, you’re surprised to see Gaia following her. Noticing you, Yami nods in acknowledgement and walks over. <<talk "yami">>Nothing out of the ordinary to report, Boss.<</talk>>\ She stands at attention, one hand on her sword’s pommel and the other clasped over her heart. <<talk "player">>Except that Gaia’s become your new patrolling buddy,<</talk>>\ You look the naked girl up and down. She’s as dirty as ever, and you note there’s some fresh mud stains on her knees. Yami turns and smiles with genuine affection at Gaia. <<talk "yami">>She may not say much... or anything, really... but she’s sharp.<</talk>>\ Yami turns and tussles Gaia’s grimy, tangled hair; grinning with genuine affection. <<talk "yami">>It’ll take some doing, but she could make for an excellent guard.<</talk>>\ Gaia preens at the attention like a cat enjoying getting an itch scratched, leaning into Yami’s hand. <<talk "player">>Heh, maybe...<</talk>>\ You chuckle, trying to picture Gaia dressed in a stereotypical black suit and sunglasses. //That’d be the day...// <<talk "player">>Good luck getting her into a uniform, though.<</talk>>\ Yami shoots you a wry look over her shoulder as she heads towards the manor. //Huh... when did I become so good at distinguishing between different scowls?// <<talk "player">>Where are you going?<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>To get a little something I prepared earlier!<</talk>>\ Yami calls back, raising her voice as she gets further away. <<talk "yami">>Keep an eye on her for me, will you?<</talk>>\ As she disappears into the manor, you turn to look at Gaia, who gives you an expectant once-over looking for fruit. Not seeing any, she quickly looses interest and begins following a large orange-and-black butterfly around the yard. As she leans on her spear, you notice it’s been damaged - a jagged diagonal crack splits the wood, which bends whenever Gaia leans on it. //What the heck happened to her spear?// [[Comment on it.||Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5a]] [[Don’t comment on it.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

<<talk "player">>Err... Gaia?<</talk>>\ She ignores you, though you pause to wonder whether she’s doing so deliberately to snub you for not bringing a treat, because she doesn’t actually recognize the name Eve gave her, or because she’s paying more attention to the butterfly than anything else. <<talk "player">>Gaia? Your spear... what happened to it?<</talk>>\ You raise your voice, but only a little - not wanting to alarm her. <<talk "player">>Did it get caught on somet... right, you can’t talk.<</talk>>\ Feeling foolish for even having asked, you shake your head and pinch the bridge of your nose. [[Next.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5c]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Deciding that it’s none of your business, you shrug. //Probably got caught on something.// Now that you think about it, you realize that she hasn’t been carrying the same spear each time you’ve met her. //She probably makes a new one each time it breaks.// [[Next.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5c]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Gaia turns to look at you, the butterfly perched on her nose so that its wing-spots cover her face. The sight is almost magical, and for a moment you can only stare. As Gaia tilts her head in confusion at your staring, the butterfly takes off and she tries snatching at it. It moves deceptively quickly, however, and is quickly out of her reach, fluttering towards a patch of flowers in the slightly overgrown lawn. //Wasn’t Eve supposed to be taking care of that?// Sighing at the small redhead’s utter lack of work ethic, you jump as a loud crack splits the air. Turning, you see that Gaia’s damaged spear has finally snapped. //She must’ve put too much weight on it...// Gaia eyes it with dismay for a moment before turning to head back towards the forest. Before she can take more than five steps, however, she turns back and her expression brightens. Turning, you see Yami is approaching with a large bowl held in her hands. [[Ask what’s in the bowl.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5d]] [[Say nothing.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5e]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>Hey, Yami... what’s in the bowl?<</talk>>\ You stand on your tip-toes and try to peer into it. //Is that a-// <<talk "yami">>Fruit salad.<</talk>>\ Yami hands you the large bowl and takes three small ones and a pair of spoons out from under one arm. The contents of the bowl are an aromatic medley of cubed fruit chunks - melons, pineapple, pears, apples, and other fruits. <<talk "yami">>I made it yesterday.<</talk>>\ She says with noticable pride, scooping some into one of the bowls and handing it to Gaia, who sniffs at the contents before eagerly gulping it down. <<talk "player">>It looks good. I’m surprised Eve didn’t help herself to it.<</talk>>\ You accept the bowl and spoon Yami gives you, scooping some into your mouth. <<talk "player">>Mmm... it tastes good, too. I’m actually pretty impressed.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>What can I say, I’m good at cutting things.<</talk>>\ Yami smirks, scooping a bowl of her own and setting the bowl of fruit salad down. Pausing in the middle of licking her bowl clean, Gaia eyes it hungrily and croons. Yami reaches for Gaia’s bowl, pours more fruit salad into it, and hands it back. As Gaia guzzles the fruit salad, you spoon more of yours into your mouth, savouring the way the different fruit flavours blend together. <<talk "yami">>I also might have had a bit of help from Anna..."<</talk>>\ Yami adds between spoonfuls of her own bowl. <<talk "yami">>But it //was// my idea and I //did// do all the cutting.<</talk>>\ Scooping the last mouthful of fruit from your bowl, you hold your bowl out to Yami, half expecting her to tell you to get it yourself. Instead she nods and scoops another bowl full. <<talk "player">>Uhh... thanks.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Don’t mention it.<</talk>>\ Yami passes the rest of her second bowl to Gaia and then leans back. <<talk "yami">>Seriously, don’t mention it. I have an image to maintain.<</talk>>\ Spotting the remnants of Gaia’s spear, she sighs. <<talk "yami">>Finally broke, did it?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>So... what happened to her spear?<</talk>>\ You lean forward, interested to hear exactly what happened. Yami shoots you a contemplative look, as though internally deliberating what to tell you. <<talk "yami">>Not much to say, really.<</talk>>\ Yami shrugs as she refills the bowls. Gaia immediately begins guzzling hers down, crooning in delight. <<talk "yami">>Went on patrol. Saw something dangerous that must’ve snuck in over or under the wall and decided to chase it off. It fought back and Gaia’s spear was damaged.<</talk>>\ There’s obviously more to this, but Yami’s not willing to say anything about it. You stare pointedly at her, motioning for her to elaborate, but instead Yami picks bits of fruit from her bowl, leaving the fruit juice for last. As she tips the bowl to her lips, Gaia does something unexpected and flops down in her lap. <<talk "yami">>Mmph?!<</talk>>\ Yami’s eyes widen in surprise and for a moment you’re that Yami is about to do a spit-take or spill the bowl, but she manages to keep it upright. Swallowing, she looks down at Gaia, who wiggles to get more comfortable, and her face reddens slightly. //Oh? Is she getting embarrassed... or turned on?// Pointedly averting her gaze from Gaia’s breasts and crotch, Yami gently strokes her tangled mess of hair, running her fingers along the contours of her face in a one-handed finger massage. Gaia tenses at the unfamiliar contact, then slowly relaxes. [[Tease her.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5f]] [[Help her out.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5g]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You consider asking Yami what she’s got, but shrug the impulse off //No point in asking when I’ll see what it is in a moment.// Leaning back, you watch as Yami takes the large bowl in one hand and pulls three bowls from under other arm. As she crouches and sets the large bowl down, you see the contents of the bowl are an aromatic medley of cubed fruit chunks - melons, pineapple, pears, apples, and other fruits. Noticing your gaze, Yami nonchalantly runs her fingers through her hair. "I made it yesterday." Scooping a bowl full, Yami hands it to Gaia, who sniffs at the contents before eagerly gulping it down. <<talk "player">>It looks good. I’m surprised Eve didn’t help herself to it. You accept the bowl and spoon Yami gives you, scooping some into your mouth. "Mmm... it tastes good, too. I’m actually pretty impressed.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>What can I say, I’m good at cutting things.<</talk>>\ Yami says with a smug note, scooping a bowl of her own and setting the bowl of fruit salad down. Pausing in the middle of licking her bowl clean, Gaia eyes it hungrily and croons. Yami reaches for Gaia’s bowl, pours more fruit salad into it, and hands it back. As Gaia guzzles the fruit salad, you spoon more of yours into your mouth, savouring the way the different fruit flavours blend together. <<talk "yami">>I also might have had a bit of help from Anna...<</talk>>\ Yami adds between spoonfuls of her own bowl. <<talk "yami">>But it //was// my idea and I //did// do all the cutting.<</talk>>\ Scooping the last mouthful of fruit from your bowl, you hold your bowl out to Yami, half expecting her to tell you to get it yourself.

Gaia immediately begins guzzling hers down, crooning in delight. <<talk "yami">>Went on patrol. Saw something dangerous that must’ve snuck in over or under the wall, and decided to chase it off.

<<talk "player">>Aww, isn’t that cute. Does Anna know you’re cheating on her, and with Gaia no less?<</talk>>\ You grin teasingly, eliciting a blushing scowl from Yami, who withdraws her fingers from Gaia’s face. <<talk "yami">>//Urusai, bakayarō!// I’m not cheating on anyone! Besides, it’s not as though I like Gaia like that or anything!<</talk>>\ Perplexed by the sudden lack of contact, Gaia sits upright and repositions herself so that she’s sitting in Yami’s lap, staring right into her eyes. Their faces are an inch apart, if that. Yami’s nose wrinkles at the smell of Gaia’s unwashed body, but she seems rooted in place. There’s almost an air of mischief surrounding Gaia as she reaches up and touches Yami’s face, trailing her fingers down her cheek and neck; all the while scrutinizing Yami with an expression that’s innocent yet somehow intense. <<talk "yami">>G-Gaia? W-what are you- uwah!<</talk>>\ For once, it’s a staring contest that Yami loses. Set off-balance, she topples back and upends the bowl of fruit punch onto herself, Gaia leaping clear just in time. Soaked in the sweet, sticky juices and covered in chunks of fruit, Yami looks utterly ridiculous and you can’t help but laugh. //So much for her image...// Yami’s mortified expression intensifies and she shoots you a withering scowl. <<talk "yami">>//Urusai!// Stop laughing at me and help me, //baka//!<</talk>>\ Gaia crawls towards Yami, sniffing at her, and for a moment you think Gaia will unwittingly do something lewd like licking or sucking the fruit juice off her. The same worry seems to have crossed Yami’s mind, as she edges away from Gaia, her eyes wide and wary. Instead, Gaia reaches out and begins picking up the fruit chunks, paying no mind to the juices soaking Yami’s skin and clothes. Letting out a quiet sigh of relief, Yami stands and brushes the remaining fruit chunks off herself. <<talk "yami">>Ugh... I’m soaked...<</talk>>\ She turns to look at you, shaking her hands off, then gathers the bowls and puts them in the large fruit bowl. <<talk "yami">>I’ll... just... carry these in and wash them before I go clean up.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>OK. Just leave your clothes on the laundry pile.<</talk>>\ Gaia watches Yami leave - or more accurately, watches the bowls leave. Making a grumbling noise, she begins picking scattered bits of fruit out of the lawn and absently popping them into her mouth. You’re about to say something, if only to break the silence, when she suddenly sits upright and looks around wildly, her eyes focusing on something at the edge of the forest. She sinks into a low crouch with her butt in the air, then takes off at a run, disappearing into the trees. //I guess I’m all by myself...// You halfheartedly sing the lyrics to that song under your breath, standing and dusting yourself off. Gaia missed a few fruit chunks, but an ant hive seems to have discovered them and is having a field day. Watching the industrious insects swarm over the fruit chunks, nibbling at them before starting to carry them off, you smile and stand upright, stretching. //Well, it was fun while it lasted, but I should be getting on with my day.// As you enter the kitchen, you see the bowls have already been dried and put away. //Did Yami do that herself, or did she offload it onto one of the other girls?// As you step into the entry hall, you hear the sound of the shower running and notice that the door to one of the bathrooms is slightly ajar. //I have to wonder if my Great Uncle deliberately made it so that the latches don’t catch half the time... and knowing him the answer is most-likely yes.// [[Peep.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5h]] [[Close the door.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 5i] [[Keep walking.|entryHall]]. Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

//Would you look at that...// You watch silently as Yami works her way from Gaia’s forehead to her cheekbones. An uncharacteristically gentle smile crosses Yami’s face, exposing the tips of her canine teeth //It seems Yami’s got a soft side after all.// Her eyes half-closed, Gaia croons and purrs, wiggling to get more comfortable. //Gaia seems pretty relaxed with this... I wonder if Yami’s done this with her before?// You allow your imagination to wander, forming a mental movie of Yami performing a more sensual massage on Gaia. //Coming up behind Gaia, Yami’s fingers reach around to cup her breasts, kneading them as her lips press against the back of her neck. Gaia gasps and moans at the touch, grinding her ass into Yami’s crotch as Yami’s fingers pinch her nipples and reach down to tease her labia. As Yami licks her fingers clean, Gaia turns and pounces, ripping off Yami’s clothes to return the favor. It’s Yami’s turn to moan and writhe as Gaia sucks and nips at her petite breasts, lapping at her pussy like a dog at a water bowl. Both now fully naked, they press their bodies together in carnal passion - each striving to dominate and subdue the other in a feral interplay of sex and violence; thrusting, clawing, and biting at each other in primal ecstasy. Their gasps and moans grow louder and more frequent, eyes rolling back and tongues hanging out, until as one they arch back and-.// <<talk "yami">>Enjoying yourself, //temē//?<</talk>>\ Yami’s voice, oozing contemptuous disgust, snaps you back to reality. Shaking your head to clear it of the daydream, you see Yami has stopped massaging Gaia and is looking at you with a decidedly unamused expression, her scowl levelled at the tent in your pants. //Oh shit...// You tense up, not sure of what Yami is about to do, but all she does is fold her arms and scoff. <<talk "yami">>//Iyarashī...//<</talk>>\ //I have no clue what that means, but it can’t be good...// You open your mouth to say something, but her withering scowl intensifies and the words die in your throat. //I almost miss when she was stoic towards me. Still, she seems more annoyed than genuinely angry, so that’s progress... right?// Gaia stares at the bulge in your pants with wary fascination, rolling off Yami’s lap and looking between your lap and hers with a bemused expression; undecided as to whether she wants to retreat or approach for a better look. Scoffing scornfully, Yami stands and dusts herself off, storming off in the direction of the manor and leaving the bowl of fruit salad behind. Gaia glances between her and you, tilting her head quizzically, then turns her attention to the bowl and plunges her face into it, guzzling. <<talk "player">>Whoa, easy there, Gaia. You’ll choke!<</talk>>\ Gaia pulls the bowl closer and hunches over to it, glaring and growling at you before resuming her slurping. When she’s eaten as much as she can stomach, she rolls over onto her back with a contented sigh, her eyes closed. For almost a minute, Gaia lies on the lawn, basking in the sunshine. //Is she going to just fall asleep here?// No sooner do you think that does she sit up and stretch, arching her back so that she almost flops over. Standing, she walks over to where the two halves of her broken spear lie, staring down at them with an odd expression that’s one part mournful and two parts indifference. Without a backwards glance, Gaia takes off towards the treeline and clambers into the branches so quickly you briefly wonder if she can secretly stick to walls. Shaking your head, your surveil the back yard to make sure nothing is out of place, then return to the manor. [[End.|kitchen]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Inching towards the door, you carefully push it open - just enough that you can see inside. Yami’s clothes are piled in a heap on the floor, and Yami herself stands naked in front of the sink, examining her reflection in the mirror. You’ve never seen Yami shave, but her body hair - save for her pubes and armpits - seems surprisingly sparse. The shower is running, filling the room with steam, and as you watch Yami turns away from the mirror and picks up a brush. Sudsing it up with a bar of soap, she scrubs herself until her skin is thoroughly covered in a thick lather. Stepping under the shower head, she lets out a contented sigh as the stream of water rinses the lather from her skin and hair. Despite her androgynous figure, you feel your dick start to stir as you catch a glimpse of her pubes - you’re too far away to see the slit of her vulva. For a moment you’re afraid she’s going to spot you, but her eyes are closed as she basks in the heat of the water. Plugging the drain, she settles down into the tub as it fills, a contented expression on her face. When the water almost reaches the rim of the tub, she shuts off the tap with her foot and slides down so that her head is fully submerged, her legs sticking straight up. She stays that way for over a minute, and when she surfaces her hair is matted down. <<if $yami.affection gte 600>>You swallow dryly as she sits upright. Running her fingers through her hair, she slicks it back. It’s then that you notice she’s looking right at you, her gaze cold and dark. <<talk "yami">>Spying on me, are you, //temē//...? Don’t think I don’t know you’re there...<</talk>>\ Her voice a low growl, she stands up, rivulets of water flowing down her skin, and steps out of the tub, her posture limp with rage. Slowly, she advances towards the door, her matted-down bangs screening the upper half of her face and making her look like a ghost from an East Asian horror movie. You recoil from the door as she hooks her fingers around the door, slowly opening it. As she looms over you, every instinct screams at you to run for your life. //No... it’s no use... she’d just hunt me down like an animal...// You recall an old myth of a hunter who’d peeped on a bathing goddess, and been turned into a stag and fed to his own hounds. <<talk "player">>I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>//Urusai!// I don’t want to hear any dumb excuses like "It was an accident!" Whether you meant to or not, the fact of the matter is that you //did//...<</talk>>\ Her posture radiating bloodlust, she glares down at you like a wrathful goddess of war. <<talk "yami">>And for your transgression, you will be punished...<</talk>>\ Her expression of cold fury cracks, a smirk spreading across her lips before she abruptly doubles over laughing. <<talk "yami">>Oh, you should see the look on your face...<</talk>>\ A mixture of relief and confusion washes over you as you stare at her incredulously. //She’s not... angry?// Briskly towelling off, Yami completely ignores you as she picks up her boxers and slides them up her legs and over her hips. <<talk "yami">>Shut your mouth and stop gawking, //baka//. I suppose I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to help me wash my back - not that I need it... but in the future you should at least ask first instead of hanging around the door like a pervert.<</talk>>\ Adjusting her sports bra, Yami folds her arms, scowling at you. However, she seems mildly annoyed than genuinely angry or embarrassed. //Wait... did she just offer to...// You shake your head. //No way, I must’ve misheard her. But if I didn’t... could it be that she’s starting to get more in-touch with her womanly side.// Pulling on the rest of her clothes, Yami pauses and shoots you a bemused look, then scoffs and rolls her eyes. <<talk "yami">>Don’t misunderstand, //baka//. A little skinship now and then is fine, but I’m not propositioning you or anything like that.<</talk>>\ Fully dressed, she ties her hair back into a loose ponytail and pulls the plug in the bathtub. Shaking her head, she jabs your forehead with her fingers as she walks past. <<talk "yami">>//Jā ne.//<</talk>>\ //What... just happened?// Watching her disappear in the direction of the home gym, you shake your head and then walk into the entry hall. <<else>><<talk "yami">>If you don’t mind, boss, close the door. I’m trying to relax here.<</talk>>\ Yami’s voice makes you jump and you spring away from the door as though it’s electrified. The door swings fully open, giving you a clear view of Yami reclining in the tub. She turns her head to look at you, her expression outwardly indifferent... but her eyes are cold and dark, black holes that seem to draw you in and swallow you. <<talk "yami">>On the off chance that you weren’t trying to spy on me and just want to wash yourself, I’ll have to ask that you wait until I’m finished. Or better yet, just use a different bathroom.<</talk>>\ She stares at you with an inscrutable expression, then stands and steps out of the tub. Trailing water along the floor, she crosses the room - not bothering to cover herself - and fiddles with the latch until it pops out. Her eyes never leave yours, a slient challenge daring you to try anything. Stepping back into the bathroom, she slowly closes the door until all you can see is one eye framed by lank black hair. Then the door closes with a click that seems to echo throughout the manor. Letting out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding, you stagger back into the entry hall and lean against the bannister of the stairs. //That... is going to haunt my dreams...// <</if>>[[End.|entryHall]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Reaching out, you grab the door and pull it closed. Rather than hearing the click of the latch catching, the moment you let go of the door knob it swings back again. //Looks like the latch is stuck...// Carefully, you slide your finger along the narrow width of the door until you find the little metal nub. //Yep. Jammed.// You fiddle with it for a moment until it pops out. Just as you’re congratulating yourself, the door abruptly opens and you see Yami standing over you. <<if $yami.affection gte 600>><<talk "yami">>What are you doing?<</talk>>\ Her arms folded, Yami ominously stares down at you, arching an eyebrow. <<talk "player">>The door latch was stuck...<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>And you were trying to unstick it?<</talk>>\ Her tone is skeptical, but then she shrugs. <<talk "yami">>Alright, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but if I catch you again... I’ll show you no mercy!<</talk>>\ //Is she’s being serious or just teasing me?// You back away from her just in case. //Probably a good idea not to test her...// <<talk "player">>Umm... alright. I’ll leave you to your bath, then.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Hmph... //baka//.<</talk>>\ Scoffing, she steps back into the bathroom and closes the door - ensuring this time that it latches properly. <<else>><<talk "yami">>What are you doing?<</talk>>\ She ominously stares down at you, her narrowed eyes full of cold, judgemental contempt. <<talk "player">>The door latch was stuck...<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Hrr... is that so?<</talk>>\ Without breaking eye-contact or making further comment, she slowly closes the door until all you can see is one eye framed by lank black hair. Then the door closes with a click that seems to echo throughout the manor. <</if>>//That was... a little scary.// You rub your arms as you walk down the hallway. //For a moment there I though she was going to attack me...// Walking into the entry hall, you step into a patch of sunlight shining through one of the entry hall’s windows, but the warmth feels faint. //At least she’s not threatening to castrate me or repaint the house with my blood...// You have a mental image of Yami - her face a feral snarl - smashing your skull to a pulp with the toilet lid, or smashing the mirror and stabbing you with the glass shards, or drowning you in the bath tub. //She wouldn’t actually do that, would she?// Warily looking over your shoulder as you hear the sound of a door closing, you see Yami walking towards you, her expression inscrutable. Without a word or even a backwards glance, she pulls on her combat boots and steps outside. You see her shadow pass by one of the windows framing the door, and then she’s gone - leaving you alone.

Hearing a commotion from across the lawn, you see Yami and Gaia are facing off against each other. Gaia's spear and Yami's wooden sword are raised as they maneuver, Gaia seeking to make a break for the forest and Yami blocking off Gaia's escape route. The bloodthirsty grin on Yami's face accentuates her feral stace, Gaia raising her spear to block a sudden slash from her wooden sword. You can hear the clack of wood on wood from where you stand, Gaia attempting to run past Yami and getting struck across the back for her trouble. She stumbles and Yami pounces, only for Gaia to instinctively turn her momentum against her. Yami rolls and pops up to her feet, the two facing off again - Gaia primed to stab and Yami posed to slash. As they creep across the lawn, you're reminded of an old musical cartoon where a //Stegosaurus// faced off against some generic-looking meat-eating dinosaur. Yami makes a short lunge and narrowly avoids getting impaled, Gaia narrowly blocking Yami's followup slash with the haft of her spear. They're almost face to face, Gaia looking frightened and Yami looking hungry as they strain against each other. Gaia is being forced back by Yami's raw strength, and any second now Yami is going to break her spear and then the forest-dwelling girl will be defenceless... //I have to do something...// [[Intervene|Submitted Yami and Gaia Interactive Scene 6a]] [[Don't intervene.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Interactive Scene 6b]] Submitted by Asura<<set $yamiGaia += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"Yami, stop!" You shout as loudly as you can, racing towards them. Ignoring you, Yami raises her sword for what will undoubtably be the final blow. Acting on instinct, you throw yourself between them, bracing for pain... and then open one eye. Yami's sword is frozen an inch from your face, a look of fury on her face. "Boss... what in the Dark One's name are you doing?!" She tries to grab you and throw you out of the way, but you go limp in her grip. Unable to easily toss you without relinquishing her grip on her sword, Yami glares at you... and Gaia takes advantage of the distraction to bolt towards the forest. "Tch... you let the intruder escape!" "She's not an intruder. Her name's Gaia and she lives here." You wince as Yami hauls you upright so that she can stare straight into your eyes, averting your gaze from her abyssal glare. "Or... well... in the woods somewhere." You gesture off in the direction of the pool. "She's a friend of Eve's, too." "I... see..." Yami bites out the words, visibly struggling against the urge to vent her anger on you. "And you made no mention of this... //Gaia//... because?" "She rarely leaves the forest," //And probably never will after this...// "Occasionally Eve or myself will bring her apples, which seems to be a relatively easy way to earn her trust." "I see..." Yami repeats, releasing you unceremoniously. You land hard on your ass, looking up at her as she stares down at you, her sword across one shoulder. "And is there anyone aside from the crazy naked lady with a spear that I should be aware of, //boss//?" "I don't think so..." You frown. "If there is, Gaia's the only one we met." Yami's eyes narrow scornfully down at you. "And she's not a threat." Yami scoffs in disbelief, "She's just skittish and from personal experience I can tell you she doesn't like men. Her spear, at least as far as I can tell, is just for hunting and self-defence." "That's all fine and dandy, but I'm not a man," Yami sneers, glaring. "Something tells me that she doesn't know that." You stand up, dusting yourself off. "If I couldn't intuit that you were a girl when we first met, how's someone who's probably spent her whole life in the forest supposed to do so?" Yami just clences her jaw in response. "You know, I'm willing to bet that you and her aren't so different. You're both emotionally volatile girls who spend most of their time outdoors and carry weapons around." You step back as she swipes at you with her sword, but there's no killing intent in the blow. "Seeing as you have so much in common, I'm sure you'll become great friends someday." "Tch..." Yami glares at you, but you can see that her anger is ebbing. "Fine... I'll spare her... but only because you asked." You can't resist the urge to tease. "Not because she's cute and naked all the time?" You smirk as Yami's face subtly reddens. "Word of warning, her social skills are even worse than yours, miss 'I bash people upside the head with a sword when I get angry'." Her eyes narrow at you, and you take a step back, "Don't get mad at me. Search your feelings, you know it to be true." "Hmph..." She flicks her sword dismissively, wipes it off on the inside of her elbow, and returns it to her belt. "I tried to kill her. What's to stop her from returning the favor when I'm patrolling?" //Is that... guilt... I see?// You frown curiously as Yami averts her gaze and stares out over the forest. //Nah, can't be...// "Carry an apple with you. If you think she's watching you, take it out and leave it for her. That's what I've been doing and it seems to be working for me." "Just apples?" Yami makes a disgusted face, poorly masked curiosity having replaced her anger. "I haven't tried anything else yet," You shrug. "She likes apples, so if it's not broke, don't fix it." Noticing she's staring out over the forest, you sidle around her to get a look at her expression - a taciturn mask barely concealing the maelstrom of emotions beneath the surface. "Penny for your thoughts?" "My thoughts are worth a lot more than that," Yami shakes her head. "I was just... wondering how she came to live out there." She casts a dark look towards the manor. "And I'm guessing it goes without saying that this great-uncle of yours had something to do with it." "Someone's feeling guilty about attacking her?" You step back, expecting her to get angry again. "I was just doing my job." Yami sighs, resting a hand on the hilt of her sword. "I thought she was an intruder, a trespasser..." You're about to suggest she come get you before making snap decisions like that, but shake your head. //No, that won't work. If there really is a dangerous intruder, she should take care of the threat ASAP.// "I guess I'm also to blame. I should have told you about Gaia. Sorry." "Yeah, you should have... but you didn't and nothing can be done to change that now." Yami walks back into the manor and exits a few minutes later with a bag of apples. "I'm going back out on patrol." "Alright then..." You frown, looking at her. "Just be careful, OK?" Yami scoffs and shoves past you, but there's no malice in the gesture. //She's like a feral cat. Semi-affectionate one moment, and all claws and fangs the next...// She catches you staring and levels a scowl at you. "I wasn't staring at your ass, Scout's honor!" Scoffing, she continues into the forest, you watching as she vanishes into the trees. Watching her disappear into the trees, you see a flicker of movement in the branches shadowing her. //Gaia was watching... I hope she got a sense that Yami's not all-bad... and that they can avoid any misunderstandings...// You sigh in dismay. //Oh, who am I kidding? They're going to kill each other.// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $yami.fear += 5>><<set $yami.trust -= 10>><<set $gaia.affection += 5>><<set $gaia.fear -= 5>><<set $gaia.trust += 5>>

As their weapons clash, you stop dead in your tracks. //On second thought, if I go in there I'm just gonna get hurt...// "//Dare ka na?//" Yami snarls as she forces Gaia back, knocking her onto her ass with a sharp overhead blow from her sword. A horizontal swipe knocks Gaia's spear from her hand and sends it spinning across the lawn. Gaia tries to scramble back as Yami towers over her, but the tip of Yami's sword points at her throat. "Did I stutter?! //Dare ka na?// Who are..." Yami trails off as she looks down at Gaia, seeming to realize for the first time that her opponent is a terrified naked girl rather than a thief wearing a bodysuit. She staggers back, clutching at her head, and at that moment Gaia turns and books it, snatching up her spear and dashing towards the forest as fast as she can without looking back. For a moment you're certain that Yami is going to chase her, but instead she stands still with the point of her sword lowered and her other hand clutching her face. Spotting you, she turns and points her sword accusingly at you. "You! Why didn't you mention you had a naked crazy lady with a spear living in the forest?" You take an involuntary step back at the anger in her voice, but she advances towards you. "Who is she?" "OK, OK..." You hold your hands up in a placating manner, nervously eyeing Yami's wooden sword. //You'd think that thing was an actual sword...// "I don't know if she even has a name, but we call her Gaia. As for where she comes from, I'm not sure either, but the going theory's that she was a slave who escaped my great-uncle when she was really young." Yami's eyes widen in disgust and outrage at the implication of your words. "I know what you're thinking... and to be honest I wouldn't put it past him. I mean, just look what he did to Eve. She and Anna are only a couple of years apart, but... well, you'll have to ask them for the full story." Yami looks stricken, as though someone has stabbed her in the heart from behind. "I... I see..." She casts a dark glance towards the manor. "I'll... go on patrol now. I need time and space to think..." "Take some apples with you... and try not to get into any more fights with Gaia?" You frame it as a suggestion. Yami grimaces, then flicks her sword, wipes it off on the inside of her elbow, and returns it to her belt. "If she attacks me I will defend myself... but I will bring a... peace... offering." She says the word peace as though it's the most-vulgar curse word in existence and she's a hardline Puritan, walking back into the manor and exiting a few minutes later with a bag of apples. As she walks towards the forest, she lifts her arm and waves her hand once, not looking back or even pausing. Watching her disappear into the trees, you see a flicker of movement in the branches shadowing her. //Gaia was watching... I hope she got a sense that Yami's not all-bad... and that they can avoid any misunderstandings...// You sigh in dismay. //Oh, who am I kidding?

As you step onto the sandy shore of the pond, you notice that someone has set up a large fire and is cooking something that looks like a rabbit and two pheasants impaled on a spit. As you step closer you notice that Yami is sitting nearby, keeping an eye on the roasting meat and occasionally getting up to rotate it. Gaia is staring into the fire, which sizzles and spits as drops of meat-juice and melting fat ooze into it. There’s something oddly tribal about the scene, like you’re looking through a window into the prehistoric past. Gaia starts at your approach, growling before recognizing you. Looking up at you, Yami nods a greeting before removing the spit and planting it in the ground. Gaia immediately makes to grab something from it it, but Yami intercedes and gently steers her back. "Too hot." With a crooning whine, Gaia looks between Yami and the roasted meat with a hungry expression. "Soon, Gaia. We can eat soon." Turning to you, Yami surveils you with an imperious expression. "And what of you, lowly scavenger? Come to poach the bounty of the hunters?" It takes a moment for you to register that she's teasing you. "Very funny, Yami." You glance at the roasted meat. "I didn't know you could cook.” "Mostly just simple things," She shrugs. "I've been on my own for most of four years, and out in the wild it's survival of the fittest.” "Nature red in tooth and claw, huh?" You mean to say it in a teasing tone, but something about Yami’s expression is eerily predatory in the firelight. "That’s right." Her tone completely serious, she shoots Gaia an affectionate look, "This one understands that better than anyone else I've met." "OK... but last I checked you don’t have..." It’s at that point you notice Yami isn’t carrying her //bokutō// but a pair of long-bladed knives. Pulling one out, she flourishes it before holding it in a reverse grip. Eyeing the blade, you see its back edge is serrated like a saw, the firelight revealing rippling patterns in the blackened steel. "I... uh... stand corrected, I guess...?" Smirking, Yami walks over to the spit and slices into the rabbit, a puff of steam hissing from the gash. With a few quick slashes, she cuts off a chunk of meat and blows on it before handing it to Gaia with an oddly affectionate look. Cutting off a second chunk, she offers it to you. [[Accept.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 7a]] [[Refuse.|Submitted Yami and Gaia Scene 7b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 6}>>

"Uhh... thanks." Approaching, you take the proffered piece of meat and sit across the fire from them, noticing the two of them staring at you. //Did Yami spike this or something...?// Warily, you pop it into your mouth and chew. The meat is hot, painfully so, and you wince as your mouth floods with saliva in an attempt to cool it. "Ahh! Hot!" Yami chuckles darkly as she tears off a leg and rips a chunk off with her teeth, passing it to Gaia - who does the same. As the meat cools enough for you to chew it, you note the gamy texture. "It's tough." "The rabbit lived its life running and digging, not raised in a pen getting fat off lettuce and carrots." Yami says with a note of scorn, wiping her knife off and returning it to its sheath. "It was fast, but not fast enough." She grins at Gaia, the expression feral but affectionate. "We made a good team out there." "So... you two are, what, hunting together?" You frown, tilting your head. //How would that even work when Gaia can’t talk or understand speech?// "Mmm." Yami watches Gaia gnaw on the rabbit leg, reaching out and gently patting her head. Gaia stiffens and growls softly, relaxing as she realizes Yami isn’t going to take her food away. "How does that even work? I mean... Gaia can’t talk or understand speech." You look between them, frowning quizzically. "It just sort of... happened." Yami shrugs and stands, walking over to the spit and circling around it. "She’s been following me on patrol for... well... all along, but a first she was too skittish to approach me, but we’re over that - for the most part, at least." Still chewing on the rabbit leg, Gaia looks up at Yami, then at you. Crawling over, she drops the partially eaten limb in your lap like a cat would a dead bird, then rubs her face against you, smearing grease. "Ack! Gaia!" You try pushing her away, but she smiles and rubs her face against you again with a crooning purr, "That’s going to stain!" Chuckling, Yami removes the rest of the rabbit from the spit, ripping the meat off with claw-like strokes of her fingers. "She showed me how to pounce on prey from the treetops, and I chase rabbits towards her so that she can ambush them. It’s a work in progress, but we’re getting better at it, aren’t we?" She tosses a piece of meat into Gaia’s mouth, grinning. "OK..." You wince as Gaia crawls over to you and drapes herself across your lap, rolling onto her back and wiggling to get comfortable. With more than a hint of jealousy, Yami begins picking bits of meat from between the ribs. "Where was I? Oh, right, right. We mostly work with small prey, but there’s a stag in the area I think we could take down with a bit of work." Yami grins viciously as she drops the defleshed bones into the fire, sending up a plume of sparks. "What an oblation it would make..." "A stag?" You frown, "Umm... Earth to crazy cultist lady: isn’t that dangerous? What if you get hurt? What if Gaia gets hurt?" "We can take care of ourselves, heathen." Yami says with more than a note of smugness. "And I wouldn’t let any harm come to her. Gaia is... she’s my //nakama//..." She stares into the fire, silent for a few pensive seconds, "I personally quite enjoy our little hunting sessions. They give me a chance to... indulge myself." "That’s... nice...?" The feral grin on Yami’s face gives you a sudden mental image of her ripping the head off a massive stag with her bare hands and drizzling the blood down her throat while laughing maniacally. As though she can read your mind, Yami’s grin widens as she splits the rabbit meat into two equally-sized piles. "Non-verbal communication //is// a bit of a barrier, but as I said we’re working on it." Yami clicks her tongue before making a purring growl in her throat. Gaia turns to look, sitting upright as Yami proffers a piece of meat. Scrambling off your lap and around the fire-pit, Gaia opens her mouth so that Yami can pop the meat into her mouth. Crooning, Gaia hunkers over one of the pile and begins stuffing her cheeks until they bulge out like a squirrel. "That’s actually pretty impressive." Noticing the rabbit leg lying in the sand beside you, you toss it into the flames, watching the meat blacken and charr, bone cracking and marrow sizzling. //Wasn’t all that good anyway.// Yami frowns, but says nothing as she pops a few pieces of meat into her mouth. With an air of mischief, Gaia suddenly pounces on Yami’s meat pile and stuffs as much of it into her mouth as she can fit. "Hey! That was mine, you little thief!" Looking playful rather than angry, Yami swipes at Gaia and hooks an arm around her waist; Gaia squirming and kicking her legs as Yami drags her into an unwilling hug. Gaia’s body contorts in almost impossible positions before suddenly growing still, her eyes just a little too wide as she finds her face barely an inch away from Yami’s. As Gaia lets out an uneasy growl, Yami makes a soothing sound, "Shh... I won’t hurt you, Gaia. Just relax." Looking at the soft smile on Yami’s face, you tilt your head in confusion. //Is it just me or does Yami actually look... happy?// Her eyes widening in realization, Yami’s abruptly releases Gaia with a mortified expression before turning to glare at you. Snicking at her affronted expression, you notice Gaia scrambling away with an indignant-sounding huff. Rather than bolt for the woods, however, she turns and tackles Yami from behind. The two of them tumble across the sand and wind up in a rather compromising position - Yami on top with her right leg pressed against Gaia’s crotch, and her left hand cupping Gaia’s right breast. For a long moment the only sound is that of the fire, and then Yami clambers off Gaia looking even more mortified than before. With a contemplative expression, Gaia reaches up and cups her breast where Yami had touched it, then tackles her again and this time ends up on top, straddling her waist and pinning her arms over her head. "Gaia...? W-what are you doing...?" There’s an odd note in Yami’s voice, a mixture of uncertainty and... arousal? Gaia looks down at her with an expression that’s somehow both serious and playful at the same time. Yami could easily throw her off, but she doesn’t - staying absolutely still as she stares up into Gaia’s eyes, her breath quickening. //Oho... what’s this? The tough-as-nails Yami is getting flustered?// Resting your elbows on your knees, you lean forwards with a smirk. //Does she have a secret sub side? And here I thought she was pure dom...// "Get a room, you two!" You call out teasingly, Gaia jolting and turning to stare at you. Taking advantage of Gaia’s distraction, Yami squirms in an attempt to get out from underneath her, glaring at you. "//Urusai, bakayarō//!" Her knee inadvertently presses against Gaia’s crotch again, Gaia gasping and releasing her grip on Yami’s arms. As Gaia all-but topples off her, Yami sits up, stands while dusting herself off, and massages her wrists. Flat on her back, Gaia looks nervous, staring at Yami as though expecting her to attack. Instead, Yami leans down and holds out her hand. Eyeing Yami warily, Gaia slowly extends her arm out and Yami takes her hand, pulling her to her feet. For a moment they’re face-to-face again, staring into each other’s eyes... and then Yami steps away and walks back over to the fire, sitting down and staring silently into the flames. Gaia circles around and yanks the roasted bird off the spit, looking down at it, then up at you. She carries it over to you, head tilted imploringly as she holds it out. //It sure smells good, but...// "Thanks, Gaia, but I’ll pass." You shake your head, Gaia grunting noncommittally and sitting back down. Yami watches her eat with an inscrutable expression, glancing away as Gaia turns to look at her. //Is she blushing again? She is, isn’t she.// You grin teasingly as Gaia rips a chunk of the bird’s breast meat out with her teeth and then drops it into Yami’s lap, staring at her expectantly. Looking up at her, Yami picks up the chunk of meat and bites into it. As you snicker, Yami turns and scowls at you. "What’s so funny?" You point between Yami and Gaia, still grinning. "Indirect kiss." For a moment you think Yami will grow flustered again, but instead she bites another mouthful from the meat, staring pointedly at you through the flames. "A word of advice, heathen..." Yami says, the firelight tinting her eyes an eerie, menacing red. "Leave the night to the hunters and the predators." //Oh no... not one of her "I’m a monster!" spiels...// Suppressing your urge to roll your eyes, you yawn instead. "Well, it’s getting late. Don’t stay up too late, you two." Shuddering as the cool night air replaces the warmth of the fire, you reach the edge of the forest and turn to look at them one last time - Gaia happily munching on the bird, and Yami staring after you with ominous intent. Suppressing another shudder, you step onto the trail and the glow of the fire vanishes into the darkness of the night.

"Err... no thanks," You sit down across the fire from them, Yami narrowing her eyes as though your refusal has personally offended her. "Sorry, it’s just that you never know what kinds of diseases these things have..." Rolling her eyes, Yami pops the piece of meat into her mouth and chews. "Isn’t it... hot? It just came off the fire..." Yami swallows and rolls her eyes at you again. "Wimp." Getting up, she rips off one of the rabbit’s hind legs and begins stripping the meat off, Gaia watching her with a hungry expression. As she edges closer, Yami clicks her tongue and hisses softly. Gaia stops, turning to look at her. "Not yet, Gaia. Let it cool first." Gaia gives Yami a look that can only be described as "puppy-dog eyes", Yami rolling her eyes and selecting a large piece of meat. Blowing on it, she holds it out to Gaia, who leans closer and sniffs it. As Gaia opens her mouth, Yami pops the piece of rabbit in. Gaia chews, crooning happily and then flopping over so that the fire warms the front of her body. "So... you two are, what, hunting together?" You frown, tilting your head. //How would that even work when Gaia can’t talk or understand speech?// "Mmm." Yami turns and smiles at Gaia, whose eyes are fixed on the skewered meat. "We make a good team." Standing, she walks over to the spit, circling around it. "It just sort of... happened." Yami shrugs and removes the rest of the rabbit from the spit, ripping the meat off with claw-like strokes of her fingers. "Gaia’s been following me on patrol for... well... all along. At first she was too skittish to approach me, but we’re over that - for the most part, at least. We’ve been working out a system - sometimes I’ll chase rabbits so she can spear them, sometimes we’ll perch in the branches of a tree waiting for just the right moment..." She grins predatorily as she drops the defleshed bones into the fire, sending up a plume of sparks. "I personally quite enjoy our little hunting sessions. They give me a chance to... indulge myself." "That’s... nice...?" The way she says the word "indulge" gives you a sudden mental image of her ripping the head off a massive stag with her bare hands and drizzling the blood down her throat while laughing maniacally. As though she can read your mind, Yami’s grin widens as she sets the pile of rabbit meat in front of Gaia, who eyes it with ravenous excitement before grabbing fistfuls and cramming them into her mouth. As Yami reaches out to pat her on the head, Gaia attempts to growl around a mouthful of meat, crouching protectively over her food. Sighing and shaking her head with a mix of amusement and exasperation, Yami stands and walks over to the roasted bird, removing it from the spit. Gaia looks up, still chewing on a large mouthful of rabbit, as Yami carries the bird over and casually rips it in half with her bare hands. Inching closer to Yami, Swallowing, Gaia gives her a look that can only be described as "puppy-dog eyes", Yami rolling her eyes and attempting to poke Gaia in the nose. Without warning, Gaia’s mouth opens and then snaps shut on Yami’s hand. "Ah...!" For a moment you think that Gaia has bitten Yami, but instead she seems to be... sucking on Yami’s finger. //It’s the meat juices...// Yami tries to pull her hand back, a string of saliva trailing from her fingertip to Gaia’s mouth, but Gaia grabs her by the wrist and begins sucking on her other fingers, crooning. "Ack...! Gaia, stop!" Yami tries to pull her hand away, yanking Gaia towards her so that they go sprawling. Quickly, you stand and scramble around the fire... and are surprised by what you see. Gaia has landed on top of Yami, pushing her top up so that it covers her face and restrains her arms. Sitting upright, Gaia looks down at Yami’s flat-as-a-board chest, down at her own chest, and then to look at your own chest. "Heh... it, uh, seem Gaia thinks you’re a boy, Yami..." You chuckle as Gaia pokes at Yami’s chest with a bemused expression. "I suppose I’ll have to chaperone the two of you so you don’t get her pregnant. After all, they say boys are only after one thing, and only think with their dicks." "In that case, why don’t I castrate you here and now so that it can no longer influence your already-limited thought processes?" Wrestling her shirt back down so that she can see, Yami glares at you. "I have a couple of nice sharp knives, and we can even cauterize it so you won’t bleed to death afterwards... though I can’t guarantee you won’t lose the majority of your blood supply anyway..." As Gaia pokes her nipple, Yami turns to glare at her, "And how would you like it if //I// suddenly started groping //you//?" Gaia scrambles off and scrambles over to where her spear is lying in the sand and snatching it up. Yami scoffs as she sits up and slides her top back into place, looking affronted and annoyed. "That’s what I thought." Yami picks up one of the dropped bird halves and wipes the sand off, and you wince as she bites into it. "That’s totally not sanitary..." Noticing Gaia staring pointedly at Yami, you manage a chuckle despite your disgust. "And Gaia still thinks you’re a guy." "What do I care?" Yami retorts through a mouthful of meat. "She should know I’m not anyways - she’s seen me naked before." "Have //you// seen //yourself// naked before?" You chuckle, despite Yami narrowing her eyes at you. "Unless seen from the wast-down and from the front, you totally look like a boy." //And I’m not altogether sure that Gaia is aware of the more-significant anatomical differences between males and females either...// "If you’re trying to tease me for not having a ‘womanly’ figure, it won’t work." Yami scoffs, biting off another mouthful of meat. "I’d rather get mistaken for a boy than have back problems before I’m thirty." "And I guess it makes picking up the ladies easier..." Yami shoots you an affronted, disgusted look. "What? You haven’t taken advantage of your boyish charms?" "If a woman comes up and hits on me, I’m up-front about what I am," Yami’s voice oozes scorn, "in which case the ones that are straight either apologize for the confusion and run off before they embarrass themselves further, or accuse me of being to blame for their assumptions." She pauses to bite off another chunk of meat. "The ones that I bi-curious, I tell that I’m not interested in being their college experiments. And the ones that are genuinely bi or gay... I tell I’m not into casual sex." "Really?" You arch an eyebrow. <<if $yami.virgin = no>>//If that’s the case then...// You feel a pang of sympathy for her. //Poor Yami...//<</if>> "So no drunken flings? No one-night-stands with a sexy babe? Heck, you probably //could// score with the straight ones if you wore a strap-on and it was dark..." "I am //not// discussing my hypothetical sex-life with you," Yami growls, biting down hard enough on the leg to shatter the bone. She pauses to spit the shards out into the fire. "I also don’t drink. Tried alcohol once, did //not// like it." "I just never took you for a romantic..." You pause, remembering when Yami first came to the manor, "though considering you smooched Anna’s hand when you first met I shouldn’t be so surprised." Movement in the darkness catches your eye and you turn to see Gaia creeping towards Yami with her spear raised. Your eyes widen and you open your mouth to shout a warning when you realize she’s not aiming for Yami but for the other half of the chicken. With a sigh, Yami’s hand shoots out and grabs Gaia’s spear as it shoots past, stopping it. //Holy shit...!// Gaia struggles to pull her spear out of Yami’s grip, whining until she releases it, sending the naked girl sprawling flat on her ass. Planting her foot on Gaia’s spear before she can retrieve it, Yami reaches her hand down for Gaia to grab, grinning smugly. Instead, Gaia lunges at Yami and slams into her, Yami tilting backwards and toppling over. Watching as they roll across the shore and splash into the water, you frown. //Yami fell on purpose... but why?// You can barely see them, silhouettes in the light reflected by the fire and the moon, but you can hear them splashing each other. After a few minutes Yami returns and strips off her clothes, lying them next to the fire to dry. As Gaia creeps over, she looks Yami up and down and tilts her head, staring hard at Yami’s groin before looking down at her own tangled mess of pubic hair. For the first time, Yami seems self conscious of her nudity. //So... she gives absolutely zero fucks if I see her naked, but if it’s a pretty girl...// "See Gaia," you call out, causing her to jump, "Yami’s a girl just like you." You annunciate slowly, pointing between them. "A scary, crazy girl, but still a girl." "//Urusai!//" Yami hisses, scrambling away as Gaia crouches and reaches out to touch her crotch. "No, Gaia! Bad touch! Bad touch!" You laugh,Yami shooting you a furious glare that distracts her long enough for Gaia to pounce. Once again Yami is pinned on her back by Gaia, but this time they’re both naked and Yami looks... almost afraid. "Gaia... please... don’t make me hurt you..." //OK... this is going too far...// Snatching up the remaining half of the bird from where it’s fallen, you hold it up. "Hey, Gaia!" She turns at the sound of her name, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the meat. Laughing off Yami and accidentally stepping on her chest in the process, Gaia scrambles towards you and snatches the meat away, hunching possessively over it like it’s a magic ring and she’s spent 500 years living in an underground lake. As Yami straightens with an indignant scowl, you smirk at her. "You’re welcome." You look up at the second bird, your stomach feeling suddenly empty. "<<if $yami.virgin = yes>>How’s about a bite of that as thanks for stopping her from popping your cherry?<<else>>How’s about a bite of that as thanks for stopping her from having her way with you?<</if>>" Sitting cross-legged, Yami steeples her hands in front of her face and stares at you, her expression eerily predatory in the firelight - which seems to tint her eyes an ominous red. "You want to partake, you join the hunt. Besides, I’m sure you’ve already eaten your fill at the manor. I can’t imagine Anna would let you to go to bed on an empty stomach." "Speaking of which," Suddenly aware of how late the hour is and more than a little unnerved by her gaze, you stand and dust yourself off. "I should probably be getting off to bed. See you later, I guess." Yami nods, standing as well and brushing the sand off her backside before shaking out her mostly-dried clothes. As she dresses, you back away from the fire, shivering as the cool night are replaces its comforting warmth. Fully dressed, Yami sits back down, not noticing - or perhaps ignoring - you as you wave goodnight. Gaia turns to watch you leave, then stretches out next to the fire to warm her belly. Suppressing another shudder as you step onto the trail and the glow of the fire vanishes into the darkness of the night, you focus on the thought of returning to the warmth and safety of the manor.

As you step outside carrying an armful of apples, you notice Yami lying on the lawn looking up at the sky, her hands folded behind her head and legs crossed. Walking over to her, you smirk. "Busy patrolling, I see." "I just needed a little break. I’m not an automaton, you know." Yami scowls at you, then eyes the apples in your arms. "Bringing more apples out to Gaia, are you? Why not try something other than apples for a change?" You mull it over, then shrug. "Ehh... apples get the best results. I don’t want her biting into an orange rind and then getting pissy because of how bitter it tastes." "Then peel it beforehand, //baka//." Yami rolls her eyes, getting up and jogging back towards the house. "Honestly..." As Yami disappears into the manor, you shrug to yourself and resume your walk towards the forest. As you approach the edge of the forest, you glimpse Gaia lurking in the underbrush. Grinning, you wave to her... careful not to drop any of the apples this time. Gaia emerges from the forest and jogs towards you, dropping her spear. Before you can slow down she’s inside your personal space sniffing at the apples with a hungry gleam in her eye. Without even using her hands, she bites into one of the apples and darts back, smiling triumphantly with it still clamped between her teeth. As she ravenously devours the apple, sending chunks flying everywhere, you sit down and arrange the apples so that there’s a few for you... and most for her, of course. As Gaia reaches for a second apple, she freezes and looks up sharply. Turning, you see Yami approaching with a platter of fruit. Immediately Gaia leaps off the ground, but instead of fleeing she slowly approaches Yami, less wary than before but still guarded. When Yami gets within five paces, making a concerted effort not to look anywhere other than Gaia’s face, Gaia growls and she stops abruptly. For a moment you’re afraid Yami will respond with aggression, but instead she slowly lowers the fruit platter to the ground and takes a couple of steps back. "Holy crap, Yami..." You marvel at the selection of fruit on display: mandarin oranges -- all peeled, pineapple rings, cherries, watermelon slices, and an assortment of other sweet fruit. //Looks like Yami’s picked up on Gaia having a sweet tooth...// Inching closer to the platter of fruit, Gaia sniffs the selection warily, though her eyes dart to the peeled oranges and she immediately grabs as many as she can before scuttling back to cram them into her mouth. "She’s such a messy eater..." Yami grumbles, sitting on the opposite side of the tray and selecting a pineapple slice. "Well... she hasn’t had anyone to teach her manners... like, at all." You shrug, biting into one of the apples and relishing the crisp crunch and sweet taste of the juices. //Gaia’s really missing out on these...// Gaia crawls back towards the platter, orange juice dripping from her chin. As she brushes past you, you playfully nudge her and she pauses to look at you as you hold up an apple. She takes it and licks the surface, trailing her tongue over it before biting into it. Sitting upright on her haunches, she greedily devours the apple, crooning in delight and then reaching for another one. As she picks it up and lifts it to her mouth, you stick your tongue out at Yami. "How do you like them apples, Yami?" "It’s not like it’s a competition..." Yami speaks through a mouthful of green melon, swallowing before continuing. "I just thought she might enjoy something other than apples for a change." As she reaches towards the platter, Gaia does the same and then stops abruptly, her hand an inch away from Yami’s. Frowning, Yami takes a watermelon slice and pokes Gaia’s hand with it. "You want this?" Gaia jerks back with Yami’s movement, but you place a reassuring hand on her and she slowly eases her hand back down. As she hesitantly grabs the watermelon slice, her fingers brush against Yami’s and she stops, her eyes flickering between their hands as she makes a curious cooing noise. As Yami rolls her eyes and lets go of the watermelon slice, Gaia yanks her hand back at the movement, ducking behind you. Turning, you shoot Gaia a sympethetic glance as she cautiously sniffs the watermelon slice, nibbling at it. "Hey, hey, it’s OK. She’s not going to hurt you..." You shoot Yami a look, "Right?" "Honestly, that depends on her." Yami leans back and fixes you with a stern stare, nodding to where Gaia’s spear is lying on the ground. "She’s unpredictable. Dangerous." She shifts her gaze to Gaia, frowning as she bites into a ripe pear -- sending the juices cascading towards her chin.

"Bit of the pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me..." You roll your eyes at her as she narrows her eyes at you. "Just saying that’s rich coming from a girl who goes around bashing people upside the head with a wooden sword when she gets mad." You mean for your words to come across teasingly, but the memory of how brutal and vicious Yami can be puts an edge to them. "If Gaia considers you a threat, she’ll protect herself... and vice versa. It’s a vicious cycle that’ll end in someone getting hurt, or worse." "Hmm. You have a point." Yami frowns, then shrugs. "But as long as I don’t consider her a threat, I don’t have a problem with her continued existence." "You... don’t?" You’re surprised. //I thought Yami would be raring to fight Gaia to the death...// "No. She could even prove to be an asset..." Yami tilts her head and regards Gaia with an inscrutable expression, picking up a pineapple ring and holding it out to her. "Here... take it." She smiles, and you shudder involuntarily at her chilling facial expression. //Is it just me, or did it suddenly get colder?// You turn to look at Gaia, who’s more interested in the pineapple ring. Reaching out, she grabs it, and then pauses as her fingers inadvertently brush Yami’s. For a moment she pauses, as though intrigued by Yami’s skin tone -- which is a few shades lighter than hers. Then she snatches her hand back, letting the pineapple ring fall to the grass. "Heh. You’re scared of me..." Yami says quietly, her lips curving into what can only be described as a sinister smile. "That’s understandable, even wise. It’s my job to be intimidating, after all..." "Even so, you take it too far." You pick up the dropped pineapple chunk and pass it to Gaia, who crams it into her mouth and trills as she bites down. "Would it kill you to lighten up even a little every once in a while? You’re scaring Gaia." You gesture to where Gaia is edging closer to the plate of fruit, eyeing Yami with a mix of curiosity and wariness. "More like I’m scaring //you//." Yami smirks, though the smile doesn’t reach her eyes. "But then it’s only human nature to be afraid of monsters."

Sighing, Yami picks up a grape and pops it into her mouth, Gaia following the fruit’s trajectory with her eyes. Turning her head, Yami holds out her hand and Gaia recoils, ducking behind you and peeking over your shoulder. "Heh, We should try making her a fruit salad next." "That... might be something worth considering." You nod to yourself as you reach for a pineapple ring, but Yami swats your hand away. "Hey!" "This is for Gaia, //baka//." Yami says in a warning tone, fixing her dark gaze on you. "If you want some, go get it yourself." "Alright, fine." You lean back and meet Yami’s gaze with a cool stare of your own. Sensing the challenge, Yami’s jaw clenches and her brow furrows into a glare. "And while I’m at it, I’ll let Anna know you’re hitting on the -- how did you put it, again -- naked crazy lady." Yami growls, anger flashing in her eyes, and for a moment you have the mental image of a wolf. Gaia tenses, and Yami sucks in a deep breath and lets it out. "Go ahead. Tell her. It’s not like it would work out between us, anyway." Picking up a pineapple ring, she bites into it with unnecessary ferocity, her eyes fixed on you. //What is it with her and the ‘Boo hoo, I’m a monster.’ pity party?// Taking a deep breath to calm your rising temper, you hold your hands up in a gesture of surrender, but Yami still scowls. "Look, I’m sorry I upset you, Yami." Picking up one of the apples, you bite into it, enjoying the firm crunch. "Mmm... these //are// good, though." Yami grimaces and pulls a face, causing you to look at her quizzically. Chewing the chunk of apple, you swallow it before speaking. "Wait, you don’t like apples?" "The first apple I ate was all soft and mushy and brown on the inside." Yami shudders, grimacing again. "I wanted to throw it out, but my mother made me eat it down to the core to teach me a lesson." For a moment her face clouds over with better anger tinged with sorrow, and she quickly grabs a pear off the platter. Turning to look at Gaia, you see she’s tensed up, looking warily between you and Yami. "Hey, it’s OK." You speak soothingly, holding an apple out to her. Almost hesitantly, she takes it, looking down at it with an expression of longing, and then drops it in Yami’s lap. About to bite into the pear, Yami freezes, looking down at the apple and up at Gaia. "I think... she’s saying this is a chance to overwrite those old bad memories with new good ones." You chuckle. "Don’t be stupid." Yami glares down at the apple, setting the pear aside. "Is what I’d say if it wasn’t you I was talking to." You decide to take her insult with a grain of humor. "Ouch. Insulting my intelligence, again? You like going for the low-hanging fruit, don’t you." You gesture at Gaia’s exposed breasts and smirk as Yami’s face reddens. "Perverted heretic..." Yami raises the apple and examines it with a queasy expression. "Still... I suppose you have a point..." She closes her eyes and bites into it with all the pent-up rage and disgust of a bad childhood memory relived. Her teeth rip into the crisp fruit, tearing off a massive chunk and rending the apple down to its core. Her eyes still closed, Yami works the chunk of apple into her mouth and chews, intermittently swallowing until her mouth is empty. "How was it?" You lean forward, almost eager to hear her response. As Yami opens her mouth to respond, she stops abruptly as Gaia stretches out across your lap and examines the pear she been about to bite into -- her fingers gouging the soft flesh and sending rivulets of juice oozing out. Experimentally licking the juice, Gaia’s face lights up and she crams as much of the pear into it as she can, smearing her face with juice and chunks of fruit. As Gaia stretches out, you can see Yami’s gaze flicker across her body, her cheeks reddening slightly. Then she looks away and clears her throat, picking a bunch of grapes off the plate and amusing herself by tossing them into Gaia’s mouth. "You realize she’s filthy, don’t you. Sooner than later we need give her a bath... and teach her how to wear clothes." "And get shanked? No thanks." You bite into a third apple, though your stomach is starting to feel full. Shaking her head, Yami pick another grape and tosses it, Gaia catching it in her mouth and crunching it before making a purring sound. "Heh... I think she’s starting to like you. Keep this up and she’ll start following you everywhere." "Keep talking and I’ll stuff this watermelon slice up your nose." Yami takes a massive bite out of it to emphasize her point, only finishing half of the slice before tossing the rest to Gaia, who snatches it up and nibbles on it. Standing, Yami turns and starts walking back towards the manor. As you sit, Gaia lounges in your lap, rolling over so that her breasts are -- unintentionally, you hope -- pressed against your crotch. "Easy now..." You’re speaking more to your penis than to Gaia, reaching out and laying a hand on her bare back. Gaia tenses at the touch, relaxing somewhat when she realizes it’s you. //Her muscles are so tense... maybe she’d like a massage?// Before you can even get started, however, Gaia rolls out of your lap and scrambles to her feet. Turning, you see Yami walking across the lawn towards you. She’s changed her clothes and her wooden sword at her waist. "Time for me to get back out on patrol. I need to make sure no trees have fallen across the wall. We don’t want a repeat of that bear incident, do we?" "No..." You shudder. //I hope Eve hasn’t been having nightmares...// As you watch, Yami locks eyes with Gaia, who has retrieved her spear. //Oh, please tell me they’re not going to fight again...// But instead of drawing her sword or otherwise attacking, Yami simply inclines her head and sets off towards the forest trail. Gaia watches her with an uncertain expression, turning to rub against you as she snatches up as much of the remaining fruit from the platter as she can carry. As Gaia heads back into the woods, tailing Yami at a safe distance, you sigh and gather up the scattered scraps of food. //Maybe there’s hope for them yet.// [[End.|$location.]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 22 }>><<set $gaia.trust += 1>><<set $gaia.affection += 1>><<set $gaia.fear -= 1>>

"Please, not one of your ‘Boo hoo, I’m a monster!’ pity parties..." You grumble, rolling your eyes and putting as much disdain as you can into the motion. "You have issues, sure, but -- newsflash -- so does everyone. That doesn’t make you a monster, so get over yourself." "I //am// a monster, <<print $player.firstName>>," Yami’s voice is a low growl, her body tense with barely constrained anger, "and unless you want to find out just how monstrous I am..." Gaia looks between the two of you, backing away warily and casting a longing look at the platter of fruit. With a soft groan, she turns, snatches up her spear, and disappears into the forest. Yami watches her leave, her expression one of sorrow quickly masked by anger as she rounds on you. "//Kisama//! You scared her away!" "You’re the one who scared her away!" You gesticulate at Yami, gesturing at her aggressive posture. "You seriously need anger management lessons." "//Urusai!//" Yami shouts, clenching her fists as she stomps towards you. //Shit.// Gritting your teeth, you draw on your own anger to bolster your bravado and advance towards Yami so that you’re practically face-to-face. "No, you //urusai//, whatever the fuck that means!" You snap back, her pitch-black eyes widening. "Do you want to fight me?" Yami hisses, a sinister grin flickers across her face. Instead of responding you shove her backwards and she topples onto the platter of fruit, spattering it all over herself. For a moment Yami sits there covered in mashed fruit, but with a furious shout she leaps to her feet, snatches up the platter, and throws it -- thankfully not at you. You follow its trajectory over the yard, whistling in awe at how far it travels. //Yami could try for the Olympics and bring home a gold medal or two...// You turn back to face her, half expecting her to slug you in the face, only to see her disappearing into the forest. "Hey! Where are you going?" "To clean off and get away from you before I rip your stupid head off!" Yami snaps, not even looking back over her shoulder. "And don’t come looking for me or I might actually do that!" //She wouldn’t actually do that... would she?// Shaking your head, you look at the mess of smashed fruit on the lawn. //That’s going to make for a very happy flock of crows, unless Gaia comes back and finishes it.// Sighing, you turn and head back into the manor.

Looking out across the lawn, you see Gaia hunkered at the edge of the forest, looking skittish. //I wonder what her problem is?// You frown, then see Yami walking along the edge of the forest. //Ah...// By the time you look back, Gaia has disappeared into the woods. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Walking down the trail, you see Yami walking in the opposite direction. As you nod a greeting, she stops abruptly, one hand on her //bokutō//, her eyes narrowed and expression serious. You hear a rustling sound from the bushes and see a brown blur disappear into the depths of the foliage, and then silence. Not relaxing her grip, Yami looks around again, sighs, and then resumes walking. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Spotting Yami walking across the lawn with an armful of apples, you watch her deposit them at the edge of the forest. Taking a few steps back, she waits, scanning the forest for any signs of movement. After about five minutes, she shrugs and walks away. The moment she’s out of eyesight, Gaia emerges from the forest and warily sniffs the apples. Not finding anything wrong with them, she crams one into her mouth. gathers the rest up into her arms, and vanishes back into the woods. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You spot Yami lying on the lawn, arms folded behind her head and one leg crossed over the other. //Is she taking a nap?// You’re about to approach her when you see Gaia emerge from the forest, edging towards Yami and freezing every few steps. As she gets closer she crouches, her breathing rapid and eyes wide with fear. As Yami stirs silently, Gaia bolts for the forest, almost dropping her spear. When she reaches the edge of the woods and clambers into the safety of the branches of a tree, you see her turn and scan for any sign of her pursuer. Noticing Yami hasn’t moved, Gaia stares at her uneasily from her perch before disappearing into the woods. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Spotting a pile of apples on the lawn near the edge of the forest, you notice Yami watching from a fair distance away. As the minutes pass, Yami shrugs and walks around the corner of the greenhouse, but you see her stop and peer around the edge. Warily, Gaia emerges from the forest and sniffs at the apples, taking one and biting into it. Yami watches her eat with an inscrutable expression, but as she steps out of hiding Gaia snatches up the rest of the apples and bolts into the woods. With a mixture of dismay and annoyance poorly concealed behind a mask of indifference, Yami keeps walking. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Spotting Yami crossing the lawn with what looks like a small picnic basket, you frown. //Is she taking lunch on patrol or something?// As you watch, however, she pulls a variety of foods out of the basket - breads, meats, cheeses, and some fruits - and deposits them on the lawn. After a few minutes of waiting, Gaia peeks out of the forest, her eyes narrowing as she spots Yami - who is sitting in an uncomfortable-looking position with her legs folded under her, her //bokutō// off to one side. Warily, Gaia creeps closer, eyeing the proffered food with confusion. Spotting an apple, she reaches for it automatically, then freezes as she sees it’s the food item closest to Yami. As she scans the selection of food again, you can almost hear Gaia’s stomach rumble. Keeping her eyes fixed on Yami, she grabs what looks to be a roasted chicken breast and bites into it, pausing before ripping into the meat ravenously. Grabbing a small block of white cheese, she sniffs at it and licks it, before tossing it aside in disgust. As Gaia eats what she wants and discards the rest, Yami remains absolutely still right up until Gaia reaches for the apple. Yami’s hand extends and picks it up - Gaia scrambling back and raising her spear. Yami’s fingers twitch closer to her //bokutō//, but she doesn’t grab it - not yet. Not daring to turn her back on Yami, Gaia backs away to the edge of the woods, her gaze occasionally flicking to the apple. Sighing, Yami rolls it towards her, Gaia reflexively stabbing it with her spear. Pulling it off, she stares at Yami for a moment, her expression one of fear and confusion, and then backs into the woods. After a few minutes, Yami stands and stretches her legs, then sets about cleaning up the mess Gaia made. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

As you walk down the trail, you see Yami standing a ways further down, her arms crossed over her chest. "Hey... uh... what are you doing?" "Shh..." Yami whispers, opening one eye. "We’re being watched." Automatically you look around, taking note of how eerily silent the forest is. A flicker of movement catches your eye, disappearing into the depths of the forest. "Thanks, //baka//. You scared her off." Yami grouses, hands on her hips. "I was trying to see how close I could get her to come." "Just... give her time." You shrug. "Keep bringing her apples." "I have been," Yami retorts sharply, scowling. "And try to lighten up a little." You critically eye her look of annoyance, "You’re probably scaring her more than usual." Grumbling under her breath, Yami pushes past you and strides towards the manor, leaving you to traverse the forest path in silence. Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Stepping into the back yard, you see Yami sitting cross-legged on the lawn. //Is she meditating? I didn't think her the type.// Shrugging to yourself as you file this tidbit away to ask later, you're about to turn away when you see a flicker of movement on the edge of the forest. //Oh... it's Gaia... and Eve?// The red-haired girl is holding Gaia's hand and trying to lead her out onto the lawn, but Gaia's gaze is fixed on Yami with an all-too familiar look of terror. It's then that you catch sight of a bushel of not just apples but assorted fruit sitting on the lawn between where Yami is sitting and the edge of the forest. Letting go of Gaia - who ducks down into the foliage, barely visible - Eve walks over to the pile of fruit and picks up a banana, peeling it and ripping it in half as she walks back to the forest. As Gaia watches, she crams one half of the banana into her mouth and chews, holding the other half out to Gaia, who warily sniffs it. She apparently likes what she smells, as she grabs the banana and messily devours it. Eve dashes back over to the pile of fruit and fetches a mandarine orange, peeling it and tossing the juicy fruit over to Gaia, who catches it and stares at it curiously. Eve pantomimes eating it, and Gaia warily bites into it before dropping it and recoiling. //Must be too sweet for her...// You shake your head sympathetically as Eve walks over to where Yami is watching, dejection written on her face. Standing, Yami pats Eve on the shoulder and says something. Eve nodding and managing a faint smile. Tousling Eve's hair, Yami walks along the edge of the forest as Eve gathers up the uneaten fruit and carries them back to the manor. As you watch, you see a flicker of movement in the foliage: Gaia tailing Yami from a safe distance. //I hope Yami doesn't try to attack her... or vice versa...// Shuddering, you can't help but wonder who would win if such a fight were to take place [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $gaia.addFlag("yami")>>

As you step out into the back yard, you see Yami walking along the edge of the forest. She's dressed in a black T-shirt, cameo cargo pants, and ﬁngerless gloves, her wooden sword tucked into her belt.

Picking up your pace, you jog towards her. "Hey, Yami. Out on patrol?"

Now that she's comfortable around you, her ﬁerce aggression has given way to a brash but friendly attitude. You engage in a bit of small-talk, but despite her smile you can tell Yami isn't completely relaxed, though you're not sure whether it's because you're there or she's just high strung. Hiking through the forest isn't easy, but she helps you clamber over fallen logs and mossy boulders. At one point you hear something moving in the underbrush and she stops abruptly, putting a hand on her sword. A predatory look comes over her face, but after a few moments she relaxes slightly, glancing around for any signs of danger. After a while you come across the pond, and Yami walks out onto the pier and kneels at the edge, removing her sword and laying it next to her as she looks down into the still, dark waters. You hear her begin to pray in that strange language, a chill washing over you as the sunlight suddenly becomes cold rather than warm.

Stripping down to your underwear, you run past her and leap off the end of the pier. The water is surprisingly warm, engulﬁng you in a green-black haze. You kick to the surface, treading water, and grin up at Yami — who is frowning down at you. "You coming in, or what?" You almost expect Yami to refuse, but after a moment of hesitation she strips to her boxers and sports bra, leaping off the pier into a swan-dive and shooting underneath you. Surfacing for a quick breath, she dives again, disappearing into the darkness. For several seconds you tread water, looking around her her surfacing… and then something grabs your foot and pulls you under. For a moment you're blind and deaf, your heart pounding in your ears. Panic claws at you, but before it can fully take hold you feel Yami's ﬁngers tap your forehead. You open your eyes and see her hair billowing around her and the water-refracted light mottling her skin. She looks eerie and otherworldly, but also strangely beautiful — like some sort of fae creature from an Old World legend. She grins at you and then surfaces for a breath, twisting and diving even deeper into the dark waters. Surfacing yourself, you inhale as deeply as you can before diving after her. //Where'd she go…?// You dive as deep as you can go, but see no sign of her. Surfacing, you make your way to shore, scanning the lake for any sign of her. //I hope she's—// You see her head break the surface and she glances around, twisting. You wave, and she breaks into a front crawl in your direction. As she steps out of the water, your jaw drops. Her soaked boxers cling to her hips and legs, and as she reaches the shore she casually strips them off and begins wringing them out.

You stare unabashedly at the wispy patch of wet hair between her legs, the droplets of water beading down her thighs and buttocks. //Is she… doing this on purpose…?// As she ﬁnishes wringing her boxers out, Yami pauses abruptly, jolting, and scowls at you. "Hey! Who said you could look at me?!" Her gaze lowers to the bulge in the front of your boxers. "And put that damn thing away! Disgusting!" "Hey, you're the one who stripped in front of me!" You cover up your crotch as Yami pulls her damp boxers back on, glaring at you. "How do you expect me to react?" "How about by not being a pervert?" Yami snaps, "How would //you// like it if a guy was staring at you like that?" She gives you a wide berth as she makes her way back to where she left her clothes. "What were you thinking…?" She hisses, more to herself than you. "Stupid, stupid, stupid…" You reach out towards her, but she swats your hand away. "Leave. Now." Following her onto the pier, you reach out again, "Yami, I-" She grabs your wrist, her grip vice-like. Her eyes are cold and dark and menacing as she glares at you. "Did I stutter?! I told you to leave!" For a moment you're afraid she's going to throw you into the pond, but instead she lets go, snatches up her clothes and sword, and shunts past. You glimpse her headed down the trail back towards the manor, and sigh. //Dammit… things were going so well, too.// Gathering your own clothes, you pull them on and make your way down the trail. By the time you reach the manor, however, Yami is gone. Sighing, you decide to carry on with what you'd originally planned to do.

You quickly avert your gaze, coughing to get her attention. "Umm… Yami? I'm still here." "Huh?" You hear her moving, her feet shifting against the sand. "Oh… shit!" Her swearing is a rarity, and for a moment you think she's going to get mad and yell, but you hear her quickly shufﬂing. "There. I… sorry…" You turn to look at her, and are surprised to see she's blushing. "I wasn't thinking. I don't know why I did that…" You're surprised by how ﬂustered she is. "Hey, don't worry about it. It's no big deal." You smile in an effort to alleviate her embarrassment. "I guess that means I'm just 'one of the guys', so to speak." "Yeah… maybe…" Yami laughs awkwardly, rubbing the back of her neck. 'Hey… thanks for… you know…" "Not being a pig?" You laugh, "Of course not. 'Cause then you'd chop me into bacon bits." "I prefer ham, actually." Yami manages a hesitant grin. "I'll be sure to mention it to Anna, then." You smirk. "Do you invite her out swimming often?" "No… she's too busy, and I wouldn't want to get in the way of her work." Yami shakes her head, a dismayed expression on her face. "Eve's fun to play with, but she's like a little kid and I don't want to encourage her to skip out on her duties." "I see. Well, if you like I can suggest to Anna that she hang out with you a bit, get to know you better." You clap Yami on the back, grinning. "Sure, you're a little rough around the edges, but once she gets to know you better I'm sure you'll be BFFs in no time." "Yeah… BFFs…" Yami chuckles, sliding out from under your arm and making her way over to her clothes. She pulls them on with a little difﬁculty, then salutes you. "Thanks, boss. You're not such a bad person yourself." "I should head back to the manor. See you later?" She nods and waves as she tucks her sword back into her belt, so you set off down the trail towards the manor.

Sneaking up behind her, you wait until she ﬁnishes her prayer. Just as she stands up, you give her a shove and she topples into the lake with a yelp — a look of bemused shock on her face. As she surfaces, sputtering and glaring, you can't help but laugh. "Oh… you should have seen… the look on your face…!" "Very funny…" Yami sputters, wiping her hair from her face. "You're lucky… You hold out your hand to help her climb out, but Yami ﬂashes you a wicked grin and braces her feet against the pier. You barely have time to think "Oh no." before she yanks you forward into the water. It's surprisingly warm, and as you surface and exhale you see Yami smirking triumphantly at you. Grinning back, you splash at her — the two of you laughing as you ﬂail at each other. Eventually you make your way back to shore and lie down on the beach, letting the sun dry you off. Yami stays in the water a while longer, but eventually she too comes ashore. Sopping wet, her hair is matted down and her shirt clings to her — highlighting her abs and the outline of her sports bra. You quickly glance away before she catches you staring, leaning back and looking up at the forest canopy. "That was fun." "It was." Yami chuckles, ﬂicking water from her ﬁngertips. "But I should get back to work." Taking this as your cue to leave, you excuse yourself and make your way back down the forest trail. Stepping out of the woods and onto the lawn, you let the sunlight dry you off somewhat before you carry on with what you'd originally planned to do.

Calling it a day, you wait until Yami ﬁnishes praying and let her know you're heading back to the manor. She smiles and nods, but you detect a trace of disappointment and are inwardly surprised that she enjoyed your company. Offering to accompany her again, you make your way back down the forest trail and carry on with what you'd originally planned to do.

Raising your hand, you wave. For a moment you think she either hasn't noticed you or is making a point of ignoring you, but she pauses and glances in your direction, nodding in acknowledgment of your greeting before carrying on. Smiling to yourself, you carry on your way as well. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $yami.affection += 1>><<set $yami.fear -= 1>>

//Better not distract her from what she's doing.// You sigh, glancing in Yami's direction again. //No telling how she'd react, anyways.// [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>> Submitted by Asura

You take a seat near the edge of the forest in the shade of some trees. No sooner do you get comfortable than you hear something moving in the underbrush. //Is it Gaia? Shoot... I don't have any apples.// You plaster an apologetic smile on your face, but it's promptly replaced with one of surprise when Yami emerges from the forest. Nodding in greeting, she walks over to you and all-but collapses beside you. "That... was a workout." She sighs. Looking her over, you note that her pants legs and sleeves are stained with mud, her face is powdered with dirt, and there are leaves and twigs in her hair. "What are you staring at me for?" "What the heck were you doing?" You raise an eyebrow at her. "You're filthy, Yami. Anna's gonna have a heart attack if she sees you within ten feet of the manor." Yami shrugs. "Gaia pushed me into a marsh. I can't tell if she wanted to drown me or was just trying to play." Reaching under her shirt, she picks at something and removes her hand with a leech tucked between her finders. "Disgusting little parasite, isn't it?" Frowning, she peers under her shirt and sighs. "And of course there's more of them." Grimacing, she turns to look at you. "Would you mind..." "Oh... OK." You avert your gaze as she removes her hoodie and shirt, leaving only her sports bra. Immediately you see her back has numerous fat black worms clinging to it, pulsating as they try to bite through her skin. "Err... you have some on your..." "I do?" Yami cranes her neck and then sighs. "Get them off for me, would you?" Gingerly you reach out and swipe one of the slimy things away. It takes a bit of pulling to detach, but you manage to knock it off. As you pick them off - tossing them aside before they can latch onto you - Yami unbuckles her pants and to your shock sloughs them off. "Wha... what are you doing?" "Checking my legs, //baka//." Yami rolls her eyes, picking off the leeches she finds attached to her lower limbs. With an irritated sigh, she strips out of her boxers and shakes them off, scattering a few leeches. Her utter lack of modesty is such a stark contrast to her usual behavior that it catches you completely off-guard, and you can only stare as she sifts through her pubic hair until she's satisfied there aren't any leeches hiding in it. "Y-Yami... I'm still here..." You swallow, feeling the blood drain out of your brain and into a completely different part of your anatomy. "I know." Yami shakes her boxers out again, then frowns as she notices you staring. "What? Stop making it weird." "Sorry..." You avert your gaze apologetically as she gets dressed, then absently reach out and pull a twig from her hair. She stiffens at your touch and you snatch your hand back, holding the twig so that it's clearly visible. "It was... I just thought I'd help." "Hmph..." Yami narrows her eyes at you, then relaxes slightly and squeezes the water out of her shirt. "I'm going to go get changed and then head back out on patrol. If you'd like to come with me for a bit, I could use the company." "Oh... uh..." You consider your options, then shake your head. "Thanks for offering, but I wouldn't want to distract you or anything." "Suit yourself." Yami shrugs. "My offer still stands if you change your mind." And with that she sets off across the lawn towards the manor. Turning to look at one of the leeches as it oozes along a weed you sigh. "She's such a weirdo, isn't she?"

The sound of Eve cheering "Faster!" catches your attention, and you see Yami giving her a piggyback ride while jogging, dressed in a black sports bra and yoga pants. They disappear around the side of the house, followed by a splash, and you run over to see that Yami has jumped into the pool and is smirking triumphantly at Eve, who flails and shrieks with laughter. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

As you step out the back door, you hear a splash from the pool, turning, you see Misaki flailing wildly as she sinks. //Crap!// You take off at a run, but before you can dive in someone else beats you to it. Yami plunges into the pool and kicks off the bottom, hooking an arm around Misaki's waist and pulling her towards the shallow end of the pool. Standing back, you watch as Yami pulls Misaki out onto solid ground and checks her pulse. //Oh no... She's not breathing...!// <<talk "yami">>Stop holding your breath, //hentai onna//. Mouth-to-mouth hasn't been part of CPR for years now, and you //don't// want me giving you chest compressions - I'll break your ribs.<</talk>>\ There's a moment of silence and then Misaki sits up, frowning in Yami's direction. <<talk "misaki">>Spoilsport.<</talk>>\ Misaki sticks her tongue out at Yami and feels around for her cane, which you see is still at the bottom of the pool. <<talk "misaki">>Oh no... The lanyard must have slipped off...<</talk>>\ Yami clenches her fists, glaring down at Misaki. <<talk "yami">>Tch... I have half a mind to leave it there as punishment for wasting my time...<</talk>>\ Cursing under her breath, Yami plunges back into the water and walks along the bottom of the pool. Picking up the cane, she carries it back to the edge. Climbing out, she wrings the water out of her top before prodding Misaki with it. <<talk "yami">>Here. Take your stupid-<</talk>>\ Yami freezes as Misaki's lets out a throaty moan, leaning forward with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. <<talk "misaki">>H-harder~!<</talk>>\ Yami recoils, looking disgusted. <<talk "yami">>No!<</talk>>\ She tosses Misaki's cane to the ground beside her, turning away and glaring over her shoulder <<talk "yami">>The next time you "fall" into the pool, //sukube baka//, I'll let you drown!<</talk>>\ <<talk "misaki">>Hnng... talk dirty to me~! Mikasi's been a naughty girl and needs to be punished~!<</talk>>\ Misaki crawls towards Yami and throws her arms around her, pressing her face into Yami's crotch. You catch a glimpse of something in her hands before Yami extricates herself and backs away from her. <<talk "yami">>//Shinjimae, hentai onna...//<</talk>>\ It's then you see that Misaki has slipped a pair of handcuffs onto Yami's wrists, trapping them behind her back. Her eyes wide with shock, Yami trips over her own feet and topples to the ground, Misaki giggling as she amorously climbs onto her, pressing her knee into Yami's crotch. <<talk "yami">>//Yamete...!//<</talk>>\ The dark-skinned warrior's eyes are wild with an expression that looks utterly alien - fear. <<talk "misaki">>And now... a kiss for the mighty hero who saved the fair maiden from certain death...<</talk>>\ [[Stop her.|Submitted Yami and Misaki Pool Scene 2a]] [[Let Misaki continue.|Submitted Yami and Misaki Pool Scene 2b]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

//This has gone too far...// <<talk "player">>Misaki! That's enough!<</talk>>\ Misaki freezes and sits up, turning her head in your direction. <<talk "misaki">><<print $misaki.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ She pouts, but climbs off Yami, who scrambles away and climbs to her feet, snapping the handcuffs with a snarl of effort and dusting herself off indignantly. Glaring down at Misaki, she trembles with rage... and then inhales deeply and turns away, not even bothering to look over her shoulder at the blind woman. <<talk "yami">>You're scum, Misaki! Human garbage! Never... do that... again!<</talk>>\ As Yami storms off, Misaki lets out a delighted sigh, retrieves her cane, and smooths out her skirt. <<talk "misaki">>Yami-//chan// is so uptight... teasing her is too much fun.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Don't be stupid.<</talk>>\ You smack the back of her head, a move you picked up from the protagonist of a cop show. <<talk "player">>One of these days you'll go too far and she'll end up hurting you, if not worse. Is that what you want?<</talk>>\ <<talk "misaki">>N-no...<</talk>>\ Misaki trembles - though you can tell it's because she's aroused rather than abashed. <<talk "misaki">>It's just... she's so cold towards me...<</talk>>\ She bites her bottom lip, squirming. <<talk "misaki">>"Falling" into the pool is the only way I can get Yami to spend time with me, and when she does... I can't help but get a little carried away... I'm sorry.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Don't apologize to me, apologize to Yami.<</talk>>\ //Not that Yami will accept it...// You can already picture in your head how it will go, Yami making Misaki prostrate herself before coldly telling her to atone with her blood... You feel your dick twitch and wince. //I've been spending too much time around Misaki...// <<talk "player">>Just give her some time to cool off first, OK? You're... you're free to go.<</talk>>\ <<talk "misaki">>//Hai~!//<</talk>>\ Misaki hops off the ground and bows, then wandering off, her cane - swaying back and forth - leading the way. //That girl is incorrigible...// Shaking your head, you roll your eyes and walk away.

As Misaki grins licentiously, you feel your dick twitch and begin to swell. //Let's see how far this goes...// Gritting her teeth, Yami struggles to buck Misaki off. For a moment, you're worried Yami will hurl her into the pool or - worse - into the side of the manor, but for once her purported superhuman strength fails her: the way she's fallen has left both her arms pinned beneath her, Misaki's added weight preventing her from pulling them free. <<talk "misaki">>Don't worry, Yami-//chan//... I'll make you feel really good...<</talk>>\ Giggling, Misaki grinds her knee into Yami's crotch, Yami's thrashing causing her to inadvertently return the favour. Misaki gasps and moans, then grins. <<talk "misaki">>Oh...! That... feels good...!<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Why are you doing this?! Get off me! Get off! Get off!<</talk>>\ Yami's voice catches as one of Misaki's hands trails down to cup her breast - or lack thereof - through her shirt, slipping lower to the hemline of her pants. <<talk "misaki">>You mean aside from a good fuck feeling amazing~?<</talk>>\ Misaki pauses, frowning thoughtfully. Yami almost manages to extricate herself, but Misaki sits on her, straddling her waist and slowly rocking her hips. <<talk "misaki">>Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but I feel bad for you, always pining after Anna-//chan//. I want to help you realize... it doesn't have to be her. I can make you feel good too, Yami-//chan//...<</talk>>\ As she speaks, Misaki's fingers reach down towards the button on Yami's pants. <<talk "misaki">>Here, let me show you...<</talk>>\ Your dick is fully and painfully erect, straining against your pants as Misaki fumbles with the button, Yami redoubling her struggles. <<talk "yami">>//Yamero//, Misaki! Don't make me hurt you...<</talk>>\ A flash of alarm, mixed with a healthy dose of rage, crosses Yami's features like a bolt of lightning as Misaki manages to undo the button. <<talk "misaki">>Don't you want to play with me, Yami-//chan//? Just relax and enjoy it.<</talk>>\ Misaki giggles in delight and cups her cheek with her free hand, sliding Yami's fly down with her other. <<talk "misaki">> I can make you feel //so// good. Oh, I almost wish I could see the faces you'll make when you cum, but I'll just have to leave that up to my imagination...<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>//Yurusenai... zettai yurusenai...!//<</talk>>\ Yami's scream of rage almost drowns out the sound of the cufflinks' chain snapping. In an instant their positions are reversed: Misaki is thrown flat on her back and Yami leaps to her feet, towering over her. Surprise and realization flicker over Misaki's face before her expression settles on fear. <<talk "misaki">>Y-yami, wait!<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>//Urusai!// I told you to stop, to knock it off, to let me go, but you didn't! It's like you want me to hate you! Is that it, Misaki? <</talk>>\ <<talk "misaki">>N-no... I only wanted to make you feel good... I-I just wanted to play-<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>One of these days I won't be able to stop myself from seriously hurting you! Is that what you want?! Do you have a death wish?!<</talk>>\ <<talk "misaki">>No! I’m sorry-<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Sorry? Sorry?!<</talk>>\ Yami stares at Misaki with an outraged expression, her fingers clenched into white-knuckled fists. <<talk "yami">>On your knees! I want you to beg for forgiveness!<</talk>>\ Misaki whimpers, looking on the verge of tears. //This has gone on enough.// You approach, Misaki turning to look in your direction. <<talk "player">>That’s enough, Yami. I think you’ve gotten your point across.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Enough...?<</talk>>\ Yami turns to stare ominously at you, gritting her teeth. <<talk "yami">>Don’t think I didn’t see you just standing there, boss...<</talk>>\ Turning back to Misaki, Yami shoots her a look of scorn and disgust. <<talk "yami">>Get out of my sight! And if you ever pull a stunt like that again... I won’t hold back just because you’re blind.<</talk>>\ As Misaki scrambles to her feet, tapping around with her cane to get her bearings before setting off in the direction of the manor at a relatively fast pace, Yami glares at you over her shoulder. <<talk "yami">>You saw I was in trouble and did nothing to stop her...<</talk>>\ For a moment you’re afraid she’s about to attack you, but instead she straightens out her clothes. Frowning, you step closer to her. <<talk "player">>I thought you could handle yourself... Are you alright, Yami?<</talk>>\ Yami swats you hand away, glaring at you. <<talk "yami">>Don’t even speak to me! You... disgust me!<</talk>>\ Without another word or even a backwards glance, Yami storms off towards the forest.

While she does not posses the same grace in the water as she does on land, Anna nonetheless moves slowly but gracefully through the water as she swims.

When your eyes fall on her, you see Anna floating on her back in the water, her eyes closed as she simply savors the feel of the water moving around her body.

At a relaxed pace, Anna swims through the water. Each stroke draws her a little further through the pool. As soon as she reaches the far side of the pool she turns and kicks off from the edge again.

With her eyes closed, Anna is laying on her back in one of the lounge chairs. You can't help but think she is simply basking in the sun.

Laying in one of the lounge chairs, Anna has a book in her hands. Even as you watch, she turns a page.

Anna lays on her back in the lounge chair, a book clasped in her hands. She seems to be reading, but every sound that comes from the pool prompts her to move in a way that suggests she wants to protect the book from an possible water damage.

Moving to the water, you see Anna slip one foot into the pool, then bite her lip lightly before stepping off the edge. You see her vanish briefly beneath the water before bobbing back to the surface. Absently, she uses one hand to push the bulk of her hair away from her face then starts to swim.

At the edge of the pool, Anna takes hold of the ledge and pulls herself out of the water. Once out, she turns and allows her legs to dangle in the water for a few seconds before standing and moving toward one of the lounge chairs.

Anna makes a startled sound as she slips into the water, both hands going to her belly in surprise. As you watch, a small smile forms on her lips, "Baby must have thought the water was too cold, I just got kicked," She says to no one in particular.

Splashing about in the pool, Eve giggles as she thrusts her hands forward to send an arc of water toward you that only makes it about half way to you. When she sees you looking back at her, she grins and pushes away from the side.

Your eyes move to Eve where she seems to be swimming slowly. From where you are, there's hair matted to her brow and a toothy grin on her face.

Eve splashes about in the pool, as she alternates between swimming and playing.

Seeing Eve sprawled across one of the poolside lounge chairs. Even as you watch, she flips herself over like a fish flopping on the shore, then returns to laying for a few more seconds before flipping herself over again. //Is she trying to get a tan? Or just playing around?// You feel a hint of amusement as you realize that it's probably a bit of both.

Where Eve is sitting, you can see mischief in her eyes as they stray over the pool area. //I wonder what she's up to?//

Eve's feet slap against the pavement as she walks loudly around the pool.

Giggling, Eve goes running for the pool, diving at the last second and still somehow managing to belly flop in the process.

Propelling herself under the water, you can see Eve moving below the water. She breaches the surface with a spray of water and a gasp for breath, flopping onto the edge of the pool. Grinning, she rolls onto her back and lays flat for a second before getting up and walking quickly to one of the lounge chairs near the pool.

Naked, Gaia's body glistens wetly as she floats on the top of the water. Her expression is content as she lightly kicks her feet, drifting lazily across the water's surface.

You can see Gaia moving through the water, swimming more like a frog than a person as she crosses the pool from one side to the other.

When your eyes fall on Gaia, you see her making a displeased face, using one hand to wipe at her tongue. //Doesn't like the chlorine,// You muse.

Gaia moves slowly as she walks along the pool's edge. With her spear in hand, she watches the water as if expecting to find some fish swimming in it.

Sprawled across one of the lounge chairs, she'd look like anyone else trying to tan, but she's trying so hard to look the part that it's somehow comical.

Without ceremony, Gaia dives into the water. You can see what looks like a cloud of grime leave her body as the water serves to wash some of the filth from her skin.

Reaching the edge of the pool, Gaia reaches out and grabs the edge. With little visible effort she vaults out of the water, coming to a crouch before standing and striding from the water's edge.

You can see Misaki in the shallow end of the pool, completely naked, seemingly reluctant to enter the deeper water where her feet couldn't touch the bottom. Moving in the water, her hands rest near the surface where the gentle waves in the pool lap at her palms.

Standing at the edge of the pool, Misaki has both arms resting on the pool's side as she presses her naked breasts against the side. With her sightless eyes turned toward the sky, she seems to be enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Laying across one of the lounge chairs near the pool, Misaki stretches her naked body as a faint smile tugs at her lips.

Like a cat, Misaki stretches then turns in the lounge chair as she moves to best take advantage of the sunlight baking her naked body.

You see Misaki, naked and sitting near the edge of the pool. Her hand finds the edge of the pool, then she swings her legs over the edge. For a moment she sits like that with the water half way up her calves before slipping into the water. You can't help but notice that she remains with both hands on the side of the pool.

You can see Misaki moving around the edge of the pool, her expression serious as she moves. When she finds the rail beside the steps leading out of the water, Misaki's expression looks suddenly relieved as her delicate fingers close around the guide rail. Without any sign of shame, she moves up the steps, water cascading down her naked body as she leaves the pool.

Rey moves through the water, half swimming, half playing as he moves around the pool.

Rey has a distant look on his face as he moves through the water. His pace is slow, but has purpose as he swims near the edge of the pool.

Sitting beside the pool, Rey swishes his feet in the water with a whimsical expression on his face.

Not far away, Rey sits on one of the lounge chairs, even wearing swim trunks, he almost looks female in appearance. His eyes are on the pool as if debating with himself whether or not to get into the pool.

Maki lounges in a chair near the pool, clad in her turquoise bikini and bottoms. A wide smile is on her face as she tucks her hands behind her head, large black sunglasses on her face pointing skyward.

At the side of the pool, you see Rey dangle a toe in the water, then with his features pinched with worry he steps off the edge of the pool into the water. In that moment, Rey's eyes snap wide and a gasp escapes his lips while his arms clutch to his front. It's only slowly that he starts to relax and enjoy the water.

With his arms wrapped tightly around himself, you see Rey walk up the steps in the shallow end of the pool as he exits the water.

You see Maki in the pool, lazily moving through the water on her back. Her olive arms swing lazily as her feet kick softly, sending small waves behind her.

You see Maki climbing from the pool, shaking her head. Her turquoise hair sends drops of water whipping through the air as her olive skin glistens.

You see the giantess called Bubbles lounging near the pool. Her single eye is closed and her arms lay behind her fiery mane as her caramel skin shines, slickened by sunscreen if you had to guess by the cocoa smell in the air around her.

You see the massive form of Bubbles cutting through the water of the pool at an impressive clip. Her corded arms move with practiced motions, cutting through the roiling water as they swing in front of her.

The caramel cyclops known as Bubbles pulls herself from the pool. Water cascades from her fiery mane over her thick muscles to the ground below. You see the dark leather of her eyepatch as she pushes her slick hair away from her face, the stoney grimace of her lips somewhat unnerving as droplets fall from the scars going up the giantess cheeks.

You can see Anna and Misaki sitting near each other beside the pool. There's a book sitting across Anna's lap as the two ladies converse softly between one another.

You can see Anna talking with Eve, and though you can not make out the words, you can tell that Anna is speaking with a lecturing tone. //I wonder what Eve did to get into trouble?//

As you watch, Eve moves along the edge of the pool, not quite running. Then from the water, Claire rises up, water cascading down her body as she brings the massive squirt gun in her hands to bear. A stream of water arcs from the tip, hitting Eve full in the side. Eve shouts and giggles in surprise, trying to retreat from Claire's range. Grinning, Claire pushes off from the side of the pool to tread water, her eyes drifting in search of her next victim.

Your eyes snap to Eve as she squeals. You can see her rushing toward Mitsuko with arms outstretched, clearly intending to push the older woman into the pool. There's only a hint of surprise in Mitsuko's eyes as she deftly takes a half step back, one of her hands flashing forward to give Eve a tiny push at the last possible second. Eve's squeal becomes a shriek of surprise as she teeters on the edge of the pool, then falls into the water. Mitsuko looks at Eve, a coy smile on her lips as she continues walking beside the pool.

You see the massive form of Bubbles swinging her strong arms through the water, propelling herself like a torpedo. On her back is the cackling form of Eve, arms encircling the caramel woman's neck. You chuckle when Bubbles suddenly dives, silencing the cackle momentarily and replacing it quickly with sputtering as they surface again

As you see the caramel giantess known as Bubbles stand next to the pool, you suddenly hear the sound of running feet behind you. You tilt your head curiously as you see Eve dash past you, a mischievous grin on her face. Calculating her trajectory, you realize she’s heading straight for the larger woman. Eve leaps upward, pointing her shoulder directly at the small of the much bigger Bubbles’ back. You blink as the large woman suddenly moves with a deftness that defies her size. A quick step to one side causes the small redhead to fly past and land in the water with a hefty splash. You see Bubbles raise her eyebrow at the sputtering Eve.

As you see the caramel giantess known as Bubbles stand next to the pool, you suddenly hear the sound of running feet behind you. You tilt your head curiously as you see Eve dash past you, a mischievous grin on her face. Calculating her trajectory, you realize she’s heading straight for the larger woman. Eve leaps upward, pointing her shoulder directly at the small of the much bigger Bubbles’ back. You can’t help but smirk as Eve collides with thickly muscled caramel that refuses to budge. You bite back a laugh as she bounces off and falls onto her back. Bubbles turns, startled, and kneels down next to the stunned Eve.

You can see Eve rushing toward Maki who is standing at the edge of the pool. Eve's intent is clear, her outstretched hands ready to push the other woman into the pool. Without warning Maki pivots toward Eve, a hard look on her face as she sees her. In the matter of a heartbeat Eve's stride falters under Maki's hard gaze. Coming to a stop several paces short of Maki, Eve gives her most innocent expression, turns on her heel, and strides away as if nothing just happened.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see Eve sneaking up on Misaki who is standing near the edge with her cane resting on the edge of the pool as if to emphasize where it is in relation to herself. Barely a push sends Misaki over the edge. She calls out in fear right before hitting the water, the sound vanishing in a loud splash. She comes up sputtering and splashing, clearly in a panic until her hand finds the edge of the pool. Her eyes are a bit too wide as she begins to follow the edge until she finds the hand rail to pull herself up. Seeing that she is fine, you return your attention to where it was before.

You see Mitsuko lounging in one of the chairs, basking in the sun next to the pool. In the chair next to her is the olive skinned Maki, her large sunglasses hiding her hazel gaze. Both women seem to be relaxed and calm. "Hag." You hear Maki mutter. "Harlot." Mitsuko doesn't miss a beat.

A soft little whine brings your attention to the shape beneath the lounge chair next to yours. There you see Mully as he just finishes yawning. He meets your eyes for a long second, then lays his head back down facing away from you.

You spot the little fennic fox doggy paddling in the pool near the steps used to exit the shallow end of the pool. When he exits the pool, he looks like a twig with his hair matted tightly to his tiny body. He gives a hard shake, sending droplets of water flying in every direction and leaving his body fluffed to even larger than usual in the wake of the action. Looking pleased with himself, Mully starts to trot away.

A gentle breeze drifts over the area, it's presence subtle across your cheek.

The sunlight reflecting off the water creates a harsh, if momentary glare. You instinctively flinch away from it.

At the edge of your vision, you can see the light wind creating little ripples across the water in the pool.

You spot Mitsuko sitting on the edge on the pool, feet occasionally swishing in the water as she hums to herself, eyes closed as she enjoys the moment of rest.

Beside the pool you see Mitsuko stretching, preparing to go swimming.

Laying back on one of the lounge chairs, Mitsuko's eyes are closed as she enjoys the warmth of the sun.

You see Mitsuko in the pool, swimming. Her arms cutting through the water gracefully as she kicks her feet, the motions propelling her forward.

Mitsuko's head rests against the ledge of the pool, her arms spread out in either direction, holding her in place. With a peaceful expression she stares into the clouds, no doubt in your mind she's day dreaming

You watch Mitsuko gently floating on her back, staring up into the clouds, enjoying the sensation of the water moving around her.

As if training for a competition, Mitsuko's body is rigid as her arms cut through the water, using her powerful legs to propel her forward as they kick. She speeds from one end of the pool to the next, only stopping to touch the ledge before continuing.

You wonder what Mitsuko's doing, standing in the middle of the pool until suddenly Eve appears from under the water, sharply inhaling. You hear both giggle before Mitsuko vanishes under the waves, several moments later you start to worry. You consider jumping in after when she doesn't come back up, but several minutes later she surfaces. Eve gasping in amazement. //They must be having a competition to see who can hold their breath the longest.// You breathe a sigh of relief.

Mitsuko and Eve are both in the pool, Eve watches intently as Mitsuko teaches her how to swim like professional swimmers. You watch as Eve flails around on her first attempt, Mitsuko giggles. The two continue at it for a little while longer

You watch Mitsuko as she ties her hair into a loose ponytail before entering the pool, she dips a foot into the water, then gently steps off the edge. Her head submerging beneath the water, a moment later she resurfaces.

Mitsuko sits at the edge of the pool, she sighs before suddenly pushing herself off into the water. Vanishing under the waves, a moment later she surfaces, looking around before swimming.

Mitsuko grasps at the ledge, pushing herself out of the water. Turning around she sits on the edge, running her hands through her hair, she stays like that for a few seconds before standing and walking toward several laid out towels.

You watch as Mitsuko takes hold of the edge, using it to pull herself out of the pool. Standing near the pool soaking wet, she stretches a few times before walking to one of the lounge chairs.

Stretched out on a lounge chair, wearing a dark green one piece swimsuit. Claire's eyes closed as she enjoys basking in the warmth of the sun, a flask of what you assume to be alcohol in hand.

Claire stares absentmindedly at the pool, lounging in one of the chairs her right hand massaging the side of her abdomen. A moment later she stretches before laying her head back, releasing a sigh of relief.

Water suddenly splashes around, your attention drawn to the pool. You can see Claire playing around, diving into the water before surfacing a few seconds later a few feet away. She notices you looking at her, she grins then dives again, coming back up a second later.

You spot Claire in the pool, floating on her back as she lazily back strokes from one end of the pool to the other. She stops momentarily to push herself off, launching in the opposite direction.

From the pool you hear Claire and Eve giggling, your attention drawn to the water. You can see both girls splashing each other, Eve seeming to have the upper hand as they play around.

You see Claire stretch her arms before moving to the edge of the pool, gingerly dipping her foot in. She nods to herself, suddenly jumping into the pool. Her head vanishes beneath the water for a second before surfacing.

Sitting on the ledge of the pool, Claire inhales before exhaling, a second later she launches herself off the edge and into the water. Her body glides through the water for a moment before she comes up for air, looking around Claire then starts to swim.

Exhausted, Claire takes hold of the ledge of the pool, with a bit of effort she pulls herself out of the water. Kneeling, she catches her breath for a few seconds before standing, Claire walks off toward the mansion.

Finished swimming, Claire drifts over to the stairs leading into and out of the pool. She grasps the railing, pulling herself upright before walking up the steps, water running down her body as she leaves the pool.

Splashing in the pool, Eve comes up out of the water, her swimsuit clinging to her body in a way that seems to emphasize her pregnancy.

A short distance away, Eve rolls over onto her belly, only her pregnancy makes the movement awkward. She tries to lay flat at first, then rolls slightly to one side, then the other. Finally, she sticks her butt up in the air in an effort to give her belly some room. With a huff, Eve rolls onto her back again.

Yami is sitting on the edge of the pool, her legs trailing in the water. For once her hair isn’t tied back, making her look more somewhat more feminine. The way the pool catches the sunlight causes shifting bands of white to ripple across the bottom. Yami seems transfixed by this, softly paraphrasing the lyrics to "Paint It Black" as she stares into the waters.

Lying on her back with her arms folded behind her head and her legs crossed, Yami seems to be... relaxed for once, basking in the warmth of the sunshine. With her sunglasses hiding her eyes, you can’t tell whether she’s awake or asleep.

Reclined on a beach chair, Yami is thoroughly engrossed in an //Arachnophobia// comic, occasionally chuckling nastily at whatever ultraviolence is occurring on the pages.

Dressed in her sports bra and black bike shorts, Yami is practising her //kendo// - or at least swinging her //bokuto// around with lethal intent - as she treads her way around the perimeter of the pool.

Yami is doing what appears to be some kind of calisthenics dance at the edge of the pool, moving in time to the beat of jazz music blaring from a nearby portable radio as she stretches and twists.

Yami is sitting at the bottom of the pool in a lotus position. For a moment you’re worried she’s drowned herself, but as you watch she unfolds her legs, stands up so that her face breaches the surface, exhales, inhales, and then returns to her seated position.

Yami is leaning against the edge of the pool, her elbows resting on the pool’s edge as she stares up into the sky.

A flurry of water erupts from the pool and you see that Yami is swimming, or at least trying to - her feet and arms furiously churning the water as she struggles to keep herself afloat. It’s immediately apparent she’s fighting a losing battle, as before she even reaches the other end of the pool her belly is scraping against the bottom. Scowling as she reaches the other end, she flips around and kicks off the bottom, surging to the surface, and begins fighting her lack of buoyancy in the opposite direction.

Her hair untied, Yami leaps into the air and folds herself into a ball. The impact sends a massive plume of water shooting skywards with a loud "THOOM!", Yami sinking like a rock down to the bottom of the pool. Standing upright, she begins walking along the bottom of the pool towards the shallow end.

Standing at the edge of the pool, Yami sits down with her legs dangling in the water before sliding in until she’s submerged up to her neck. Carefully maintaining a grip on the edge, she begins to pull herself along the side towards the shallow end, until she reaches a spot where her feet can touch the bottom.

Crouched at the edge of the pool, Yami attempts a swan dive. The move itself is flawless, but instead of gliding under the water and popping back up to the surface she sinks straight to the bottom of the pool, her outstretched arms all that stops her from bashing her head against the linoleum tiling. Standing upright with an annoyed expression, Yami jumps and attempts to fight her lack of buoyancy to the surface, but sinks back down. A stream of bubbles issues from between her clenched teeth as she walks towards the shallow end, her hair billowing like a cloud of smoke above her.

You jump as a hand suddenly bursts from the pool’s water, fingers hooking around the edge. A dark shape rises from the depths, matted black hair framing a pair of glaring soulless black eyes and teeth bared in a snarl. Your heart stops, terror surging through you... //Oh. It’s just Yami.// You let out a sigh of relief, causing her to shoot a look of bemused annoyance at you before shaking her head dismissively and plopping into a lounge chair.

Taking hold of the edge of the pool, Yami hops out so that she’s sitting on the edge. Combing her fingers through her hair, she towels off, parts her bangs, and then plops down on a lounge chair.

Planting her hands on the edge of the pool, Yami crawls out on her hands and knees, rising to her feet and walking towards the towels.

Reclining on a beach chair, Yami looks up as Anna walks past, following her with her gaze. She waves, Anna pausing before hesitantly waving back.

Yami is doing pushups at the edge of the pool, Eve sitting on her back and giggling as she dips her toes in the water every time Yami lowers herself.

Hearing giggling coming from the pool, you see Eve splashing around happily... then do a double-take as you see a shadow moving across the bottom of the pool towards her. Without warning, the shadow lunges and Eve lets out a yelp as it grabs onto her and drags her under. You feel your heart stop beating, adrenaline surging through you as you prepare to dive in and save her... and then Yami pops up holding a hysterically laughing Eve over her head. With a sigh of relief, you clutch at your chest before carrying on with your day.

Yami is standing in the pool, half-crouched so that she’s submerged up to her chin. As she stands, you notice Eve sneaking up behind her, trying to suppress a fit of giggles. //There’s no way Yami doesn’t know she’s there...// Eve reaches towards the tie on Yami’s swimsuit, only for the taller girl to stand to her full height, turning around and folding her arms with a scowl. Playing innocent, Eve puts her arms out as though asking for a hug, and Yami sighs before acquiescing. Grinning triumphantly, Eve clasps her hands around Yami’s neck and grasps her swimsuit top’s ties before pulling. Eve splashes away, waving Yami’s swimsuit top like a captured flag, cheering in a singsong tone. "I’ve got bigger boobs than you~! I’ve got bigger boobs than you~!" Yami looks down at her exposed chest, shrugs, and goes back to what she was doing.

Yami is making a concerted effort to stay as far away from Misaki as possible without getting out of the pool, trying to move through the water without making any nose. Misaki, her arms outstretched and head cocked for the slightest sounds, seems to be trying to catch Yami while also avoiding the deeper areas of the pool. You wonder for a moment what Misaki would do if she caught Yami, but knowing her tendencies and the way she’s flexing her fingers, it would probably be something perverted.

Yami is resting at the edge of the shallow end of the pool with her chin resting on her folded arms, body at a forty-five degree angle. At the other side, Misaki ducks under the water and rockets towards her with uncanny accuracy, her outstretched hands grabbing Yami’s backside. With a strangled yelp, Yami jolts upright and turns to glare at Misaki, who giggles mischievously as she backs away. Rubbing her butt where Misaki goosed her, Yami growls and then slashes her arm, sends up a borderline tsunami of chlorinated water that leaves Misaki sputtering and coughing.

The MC comes across Misaki, Eve, and Gaia sunbathing (Misaki and Eve doing the sunbathing, Gaia imitating them out of curiosity)? Eve pushing Anna into the pool. Eve pushing Gaia into the pool, then being dragged in herself. Eve pushing Rey into the pool. Eve pushing Claire into the pool, and Claire somehow managing to get EVERYONE wet. Eve managing to push Maki into the pool only to have a couple of minutes later Bubbles carrying Eve kicking, biting, and flailing to the pool and tossing her in.

Taking a seat beside the pool, you settle in to the lounge chair. After a moment, you let your eyes drift over your surroundings, taking in everything. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupEve>> To your side, you can see Eve looking at you, stretching in her own lounge chair in a pose that you suspect is supposed to be seductive. You allow yourself a smirk as you turn toward Eve. She does her best to look casual, her nose going up in the air as she asks, "So, . . . . nice day, huh?" It's everything you can do to prevent your mirth from bubbling into laughter. Seeing your expression, Eve's face collapses into a scowl. "Very nice day," You finally manage, but even as you say the words you can see that Eve has rolled onto her back and is pointedly looking at the sky. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupEve>> Sighing, you let your eyes drift over Eve for a few seconds before following her lead and simply leaning back to enjoy the warmth of the sun for a little while. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 10 }>>

Clearing your throat to announce your presence, Anna looks up from the book she is reading. <<if $anna.fear lte 150 and $anna.trust gte 700>>When she sees you, she sits up quickly, her finger slipping between the pages of the book to act as a bookmark as she closes it. "Reading something good?" You ask lightly. You can see her expression brighten as she holds up the book. Even though she doesn't hold it up for you long enough to read the title, you can tell that it's something about travel, "Yes, I'm enjoying it." <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupAnna>> Anna continues to talk about the book, but you're not really paying attention to the words she is saying. Instead you find yourself watching her features, her usual timid nature vanishing behind the excitement of sharing the wonders she has found in the book's pages. You find yourself just listening to her talk, enjoying the sound of her voice until she finally winds down. Seeming to realize that she just rambled on for several minutes, she suddenly looks self conscious. She smiles at you, and you give her a reassuring smile in return before she glances longingly at her book again. Laying back in your lounge chair, she takes the hint and returns to her book. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupAnna>> Meanwhile, you sigh happily, enjoying the warmth of the sun on your skin. <<elseif $anna.fear lte 550>>When she sees you, she sits up with a start, her finger slipping between the pages of the book to act as a bookmark as she quickly closes it.

Smiling, you try to give her a reassuring look, then she looks at the book in her hands and cracks it open once more. As you watch, she thumbs through several pages of the book before seeming to find her place again. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupAnna>> Meanwhile, you sigh happily, enjoying the warmth of the sun on your skin. <</if>> <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 13 }>>

Your eyes drift for a little while, simply enjoying your time beside the pool, when you finally settle on Anna. You take in the sight of her, following the curves of her body, the swell of her belly from the life growing inside of her. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroupAnna>> Smiling to yourself, your thoughts focus on Anna, //You hear people talk about babies all the time, sometimes dismissively, sometimes as if it's something special.// You sigh, feeling content, //No one really tells you how it feels to know you're going to be a parent.

Stretching, you take a small step as you do so before starting to walk near the pool's edge. Your footsteps eventually draw you toward one of the empty lounge chairs beside the pool. Once there, you sit down and let your eyes drift over the area for a few seconds. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroup>> Smiling to yourself, you lean back in the chair and stretch, feeling the gentle caress of a breeze on your skin as the sun overhead warms you. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroup>> For a moment, you allow your eyes to drift closed as you simply savor the day for what it is. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 12 }>>

Stretching, you settle into the lounge chair, hearing the material creak softly as you do so. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroup>> Shielding your eyes from the sunlight, you let your eyes drift over your surroundings with the added protection from the sun, taking note of everything around you. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroup>> Leaning back, you move your hand away and squint your eyes to protect them from the bright light. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreGroup>> Turning your head to the side, the action shades your eyes slightly, allowing you to better view your surroundings. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>

Arrive at pool -Sitting around option. -Swim option. Sitting around -Eve trying to be sexy but Anna catching your attention. -Rubbing lotion on Anna. -Eve asking to have lotion rubbed on her body. -Eve begging you to swim with her. -Anna reading a book and talking with her about it. -Gaia eating apple in front of you. -Misaki talking about fucking in the pool. -Talking with Eve while she sun bathes. -Anna watching her sister swim. But the idea had someone (The PC, or one of his slaves) laying out getting a tan, when Eve climbs onto something to get up a badass cannonball and splashes water all over the place. Obviously everyone around gets wet, and as the PC see Eve climb out of the pool he sees her in just a pair of panties and when he asks her whats up, she explains that her swimsuit doesn't fit anymore.

Noticing Yami by the poolside, you notice that she’s in the middle of undressing. //What’s she doing?// Frowning, you watch her strip to her underwear and lie down in a patch of sun. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> The back door opens and Anna exits the manor, looking around - presumably for Eve. Spotting her, Yami waves her over and holds out the bottle of sunscreen imploringly. <<if $yamiAnna gte 8>> Anna nods and rolls up her sleeves, helping Yami out of her sports bra. Rolling up her sleeves, Anna spurts sunscreen into her palms and rubs them together, gently massaging it into Yami’s back. "Does this... feel good?" Yami nods, veritably purring, and Anna smiles. While she could simply smear the sunscreen onto Yami’s back and have done with it, she instead turns it into a surprisingly sensual massage. //Huh. I wonder, is she doing this because she’s starting to reciprocate Yami’s feelings or is it-// Anna glances back at you, her eyes seeking approval as she slides her hands down Yami’s ribs, fingertips skirting dangerously close to the sides of Yami’s breasts. //Well, shit. It’s because she knows I’m watching...// <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> As Anna’s sunscreen massage works its way lower and lower, you grimace internally and sigh quietly. //I should probably have a talk with Anna about maybe// not //leading Yami on. As fun as it would be to secretly watch them getting it on, I’d rather //not// have Yami going all// yandere //and accusing me of// netorare... //how the actual fuck do I know what those words mean?!// [[Stop Anna before she goes too far.|Yami and Anna Poolside 2a]] [[Let Anna continue.|Yami and Anna Poolside 2b]] <<elseif $yamiAnna gte 6>>Pausing, Anna rolls up her sleeves, taking the sunscreen bottle and squirting a generous dollop into her hand. Rubbing them together, she kneels next to Yami and begins rubbing the sunscreen into her back. Yami shudders and sighs, reaching up to remove her sports bra. Anna slowly works her way down to Yami’s hips, pausing as her fingers trace the hem of Yami’s boxers. As she hooks her fingers into Yami’s lower underwear, your penis tents the front of your pants as it engorges with blood, and she glances at you - or rather, your erection - her face turning pink. Yami looks up quizzically and asks Anna a question, Anna removing her hands and shaking her head. Squirting more sunscreen into her hands, she starts on Yami’s legs, working her way down to her feet. As Anna finishes, Yami rolls over and smiles - seemingly neither noticing nor caring that her chest is exposed. Anna hesitantly asks a question in a voice too quiet for you to make out, and Yami tilts her head before asking a question in reply, reaching out and placing a reassuring hand on Anna’s shoulder. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Noticing you for the first time, Anna’s eyes widen and her face turns pink. Following her gaze, Yami scowls, "Oi! //Hentai konoyarō!//" She calls out irately, making no attempt to cover herself. "What the hell do you think you’re looking at?" [[Motion for Anna to continue.|Yami and Anna Poolside 2c]] [[Scold them for slacking off.|Yami and Anna Poolside 2d]] <<else>>Spotting you, Anna looks anxiously at you for permission.

Her eyes fixed on you, Anna hooks her fingers into the waist of Yami’s boxers. //She’s just doing this because I’m here...// For a moment you’re tempted to let her continue, see how far she’ll take things, but then a painful realization strikes you. //If Anna were to break Yami’s heart by leading her on, unintentionally or not...// You grimace and quickly gesticulate for her to stop. Pausing, Anna stares at you in confusion before realization clicks and she releases her hold on Yami’s boxer shorts. Frowning, Yami turns to look at Anna and asks a question, Anna shaking her head and stammering out an awkward reply. Her frown deepening, Yami turns and stares pointedly at you. "Oi! //Hentai konoyarō!//" Yami calls out. "What the hell do you think you’re looking at?" "Nothing." You quickly say, averting your gaze as she stands, making no attempt to cover herself. "I was actually just enjoying the nice weather and taking a walk around the yard." Yami’s eyes narrow suspiciously but she settles back down, keeping one eye on you. Anna squirts more sunscreen into her hands and begins working her way down Yami’s legs. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> "Umm... would you like me to do your front?" Anna applies more sunscreen to her hands, Yami considering and then rolling over with a warning look at you to keep your distance and mind your own business. Straddling Yami’s legs, Anna begins applying the sunscreen to her forehead and cheeks with delicate brushstrokes of her fingers. Yami slowly relaxes slightly as Anna works her way down her throat to her shoulders and collarbones. As she reaches Yami’s breasts, Anna hesitates, but only for a moment. With a glance at you, Anna places her hands over Yami’s breasts and begins to rub them. Yami gasps at the touch, her eyes snapping open. "Anna...? What are you-" She lets out an involuntary moan as Anna continues rubbing and tweaks her nipples, arching her back into Anna’s hands. "Anna...! Hnn... wait...!" With what seems to be a Herculean example of self-control, Yami takes Anna’s hands and removing them, speaking more firmly as she regains her breath and focus. "Why are you doing this? Is it because you want to, or because //he//," She jerks her head in your direction, "is watching?" Anna looks at Yami in confusion, "I... I thought you wanted this..." Stealing a glance back at you, Anna reaches up and brushes a thumb over Yami’s stiffened nipple, shifting her leg so that her knee is pressed between Yami’s thighs. "Anna...! I do..." Yami shudders as Anna presses her knee harder, hands cupping her breasts and kneading them once more... but then Yami pulls away, taking Anna’s hands and interlacing their fingers. "But not like this." As Anna looks at her in abject confusion, Yami sighs, "I won’t deny that I //do// want to make love to you. You’re a beautiful woman and you’re kind and gentle despite everything that’s happened to you... but I don’t do casual sex. <<if $yami.virgin = yes>>I want to give my first time to someone I love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of myself to, and who loves and trusts me in return... someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, and who wants to spend the rest of her life with me.<<else>>For me, sex is something that should only be done with someone you love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of yourself to, who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and who fully reciprocates that.<</if>> Do you understand?" You can see Anna struggling to process Yami’s words, her face reddening as though her brain is overheating. "Umm... I..." With a sad expression, Yami leans up and plants a kiss on Anna’s forehead, almost between her eyes. "I want you to do this because //you// want to, when you’re ready to." She strokes Anna’s cheek before taking her hands and squeezing them gently. "Not before, and not because some man told you to." <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Anna shuffles uncomfortably under Yami’s gaze. "I’m s-sorry..." She shudders, wrapping her arms around herself. Even from where you’re standing you can tell she’s starting to cry, sobbing "I’m sorry!" over and over. "Anna, what’s wrong?" Looking concerned, Yami pulls her into a hug so that they’re lying side by side, Yami gently holding Anna and stroking her head and back. "Shh... shh... it’s OK. Just talk to me." "How can you be scary one second and nice the next?" Anna sniffles, looking at Yami with a mixture of confusion, pain, fear, and misery. "W-why are you s-s-so nice to me?" "Because I care about you, Anna." Yami flashes a pained smile at Anna’s bemused expression, "I... I love you, and even if you don’t... feel the same way I do..." Yami wipes away a tear with one thumb, "I still care about you and want you to be happy." Yami pulls Anna into a gentle hug again before releasing her. Standing, she picks up her sports bra and puts it back on before retrieving the rest of her clothes. As she dresses, Anna watches with a look of confused sadness. "I’m going to go on patrol now," Yami extends a hand and helps Anna to her feet. "If you’d like to come with me..." "I..." Anna shoots a nervous glance at you, "I appreciate the offer, but... I really should get back to work. P-perhaps another time, though?" Yami smiles and kisses the back of Anna’s hand, then turns and walks into the forest. Still shooting nervous glances at you, Anna pulls her sleeves back down and quickly darts back into the manor. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Her eyes fixed on you, Anna hooks her fingers into the waist of Yami’s boxers. //She’s just doing this because I’m here...// For a moment you’re tempted to call out and stop her, a thrill of fear washing over you at the thought of Yami enraged by heartbreak, but your libido wins over. //Let’s see how far she’ll take things...// Opening her eyes, Yami looks back at Anna and asks a question. Anna freezes and stammers a response, Yami frowning in thought before shrugging and raising her hips. Anna slides Yami’s boxers down and off, leaving her completely naked, then nervously applies more sunscreen. For a moment she hesitates, then gingerly begins rubbing it onto Yami’s backside, her fingers kneading the taught muscles. For a moment you wonder if Anna is going to probe her fingers deeper, but instead she continues down Yami’s legs, working her way down her thighs and calves to her feet. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> As Anna finishes, Yami rolls over and stretches, grinning at her. Her face pink, Anna mumbles something inaudible, Yami sitting upright and pressing her forehead to Anna’s in an affectionate gesture as she whispers back. Nodding, Anna rinses her hands off in the pool before applying another dollop of sunscreen. Steeling herself with a look of faux determination, Anna straddles Yami’s legs and begins applying the sunscreen to her forehead and cheeks with delicate brushstrokes of her fingers. As Anna works her way down her throat to her shoulders and collarbones, Yami relaxes and lets out a soft purring croon, clearly enjoying this. Shooting another glance at you, Anna lathers more sunscreen onto her hands and begins rubbing Yami’s chest. Yami stirs under Anna’s ministrations, which are becoming decidedly less about rubbing sunscreen onto her body and more about putting on a show. Pretending not to notice, you edge closer. "Ann-ah~?" Yami gasps as Anna tweaks one of her nipples. "What are you... hnn... doing?" "I’m... giving you what you want..." Anna mumbles, her hands leaving Yami’s breasts and rubbing sunscreen down her abs. As Anna’s fingers brush the tuft of hair between her legs, Yami’s body trembles. Her own body trembling, the blonde girl leans down and spreads Yami’s legs, her head slowly descending... but with a Herculean example of self-control, Yami pulls away, sits up, and cups Anna’s chin with her hand. As Yami draws her into an upright sitting position, Anna at her with a confused and more-than-a-little frightened expression. "Y-Yami? A-a-am I doing s-something wrong?" A pained expression flickers across Yami’s face as she threads their fingers together, squeezing gently. "Anna... I won’t deny that I //do// want to make love to you. You’re a beautiful woman who is kind and gentle despite everything that’s happened to you, but..." Anna opens her mouth to say something, but Yami presses a finger across her lips. "I can tell you’re only doing this to put on a show for //him//." Yami shoots a dark, accusatory look in your direction. Turning back to Anna, Yami caresses her cheek, looking more than a little dismayed and miserable as she sighs. "I don’t do casual sex. <<if $yami.virgin = yes>>I want to give my first time to someone I love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of myself to, and who loves and trusts me in return... someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, and who wants to spend the rest of her life with me.<<else>>For me, sex is something that should only be done with someone you love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of yourself to, who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and who fully reciprocates that.<</if>> Do you understand?" <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Anna blushes intensely, looking self-conscious as she stammers unintelligibly. For a moment you think she’s going to panic and run away, but instead she shakes her head. Frowning, Yami lays a hand on her shoulder and Anna flinches, cringing as though she expects Yami to yell at or hit her. Instead, Yami pulls her into a tight but chaste hug, holding her as she breaks down into tears. When Anna is finally all cried out, sniffling and wiping her cheeks on the back of her sleeves, Yami stands and helps her to her feet. Retrieving her clothes, Yami gets dressed - shooting the occasional concerned glance at Anna, who is shuffling self-consciously and shooting worried looks of her own in your direction. Tightening her belt and sliding her //bokutō// into it, Yami follows her gaze and shoots you a warning glare. Taking an involuntary step back, you raise your hands in a placating gesture. //What’s her problem? I didn’t even say anything!// Still scowling, Yami takes Anna’s hand and plants a kiss on the back of it, like a knight in a fairytale would a princess. Anna’s blush deepens a little, but Yami releases her hand and turns to walk away. For a moment you think Anna is about to say something, opening her mouth and raising her hand, but instead she turns and dashes into the manor. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 13 }>>

Swallowing nervously, Anna nods and then applies more sunscreen to her hands. Hesitantly straddling Yami’s legs, Anna begins applying the sunscreen to her forehead and cheeks with awkward strokes of her fingers, almost getting it in Yami’s eyes and mouth. Warily glancing in your direction, Yami slowly relaxes as Anna works her way down her throat to her shoulders and collarbones. As she reaches Yami’s breasts, Anna hesitates. Noticing this, Yami sits up and cups her face, gently tracing her thumb along Anna’s cheekbone. "It’s alright, Anna. You don’t have to-" With a glance at you, Anna places her hands over Yami’s breasts and begins to rub them. Your penis engorges with blood as Yami automatically arches her back into Anna’s hands, her breathing growing rapid and shallow. "Anna...! Nnn... wait...!" Yami takes Anna’s hands and removing them, speaking more firmly as she regains her breath and focus. "Anna, if you’re not comfortable with this then you don’t have to do it. I’m perfectly capable of getting my front done." "But..." Anna makes to glance back at you, but Yami cups her cheek and gently steers her head so that they’re facing each other again. "Don’t look at him. Look at me." Yami whispers, "You don’t have to do this unless //you// want to." "Don’t you want me to...?" Stealing a glance back at you, Anna reaches her hand down between Yami’s thighs. "Anna...! I do..." Yami shudders, but then grabs her hand and pulls it away, interlacing their fingers. "But not like this. Not to put on a show for some man to jack off to." She scowls at you, Anna looking more than a little abashed. "I want you to do this because //you// want to." Yami leans up and plants a kiss on Anna’s forehead, almost between her eyes. "I... I’m sorry..." Anna whispers, looking down. "I... I should go get back to work." "No need to apologize," Yami gently raises her chin and smiles. "I should get back to work myself." Standing, she helps Anna to her feet and dresses while Anna rinses her hands off, fixing you with a hard stare. "Show’s over, boss. You should get going too." You’re about to issue a retort, then pause. //Snarky tone aside, she’s right. I’ve got no reason to be standing around here.// Shrugging, you resume walking across the back yard. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

"A couple of slackers, apparently." You meet Yami’s gaze and cross your arms, clicking your tongue disapprovingly. "Anna, what would Eve say if she caught you slacking off, let alone engaging in public fornication?" As Anna stammers wordlessly you scowl down at her, Yami sitting upright and glaring. "And you, Yami? Trying to get Anna to feel you up?" Yami opens her mouth to make an angry retort, but you cut her off. "Shouldn’t you be on patrol? I’m not paying you to laze around and show your tits - or lack thereof - to the world." You’re about to add that if Yami //wants// to be paid for doing that you’re willing to negotiate, but her expression is already one of barely-suppressed rage. //Shouldn’t push my luck more than I already have...// <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Standing, Yami puts her sports bra back on and begins dressing; Anna rinsing her hands off in the pool and drying them on her skirt, looking suitably mortified. Yami touches her shoulder, but she jolts away with a frightened expression, mindful of your disapproving gaze. As Anna trudges back into the manor, Yami turns to glare at you, her eyes cold and dark as she slides her //bokutō// into her belt with a sharp, aggressive motion. Turning on her heel, Yami storms off towards the woods without a backwards glance. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Swallowing nervously and frequently glancing at you for assurance, Anna rolls up her sleeves, squirting sunscreen into her palms. Gingerly, she lays her hands on Yami’s back and begins rubbing the sunscreen into her shoulders and down her spine. Reaching back, Yami removes her sports bra, exposing her full back to Anna. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> More hesitantly than ever, Anna squirts more sunscreen into her hands and resumes rubbing it into Yami’s back, slowly working her way lower. When she reaches the small of Yami’s back she pauses and Yami turns to look at her inquisitively. Anna clears her throat, stammering, and Yami sits up and places a reassuring hand on her shoulder - not noticing or caring that her chest is exposed. Anna swallows nervously at Yami’s concerned expression, then down at her hands still covered in sunscreen. "It’s OK, Anna." Yami smiles reassuringly, "I can do the rest. Thanks for getting my back." "Y-you mean you d-don’t want me to...?" Anna glances down at Yami’s exposed chest, then down further at her boxer shorts. Understanding clicks and Yami lets out a quiet sigh, Anna flinching at the sound. Before she can run away, Yami takes her hands and gently squeezes them. "Anna... you’re a beautiful woman and you’re kind and gentle despite everything that’s happened to you, and you deserve nothing less than absolute happiness. I won’t deny that I //do// want to make love to you, but only when //you// are willing - //not// because some man tells you to. <<if $yami.virgin is true>>I want to give my first time to someone I love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of myself to, and who loves and trusts me in return... someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, and who wants to spend the rest of her life with me.<<else>>For me, sex is something that should only be done with someone you love and trust enough to expose the most-vulnerable parts of yourself to, who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and who fully reciprocates that.<</if>> Do you understand?" <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Anna’s face turns bright red, her mouth opening and shutting wordlessly, and you can just hear her brain emitting a dialup tone as she struggles to process what Yami has just said to her. As Yami releases her hands, Anna slumps over as though she was shoved. As Yami touches her shoulder with a concerned expression, Anna makes a noise that sounds suspiciously like "Meep!" and bolts for the manor, babbling unintelligibly as she shoots past you. Noticing you for the first time, Yami - making no effort to cover up - shoots you a bemused look. "I, uh, think you broke her." You quip, Yami scowling as she squirts sunscreen into her hands and begins rubbing it on her legs. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Swallowing nervously, Anna apologizes and backs away from Yami, who frowns in disappointment before shooting an irritable look in your direction. You shrug at her, and she folds her arms and rests her face in them. //She’s sulking, isn’t she?// <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Spotting Yami standing on the edge of the pool, as though deliberating whether or not to get in, you notice Misaki making her way towards the pool, tapping her cane back and forth. Misaki’s cane hits Yami’s calf, causing the dark-skinned girl to turn and frown. Misaki quickly apologizes and taps her cane along the edge of the pool, the moment Yami’s back is turned Misaki’s. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> The moment Yami turns back to contemplate the waters, however, Misaki’s hand shoots out to grab Yami’s backside. "Gotcha..." Yami to deftly evade, leaving Misaki awkwardly balanced on the edge of the pool. "Aww crap...!" As Yami growls, Misaki looks over her shoulder in the direction of her voice. "Mercy?" "Does this look like the face of mercy?" Yami snaps, her teeth bared in an angry parody of a grin. "How would I kn-oww!" Misaki’s retort is cut off as Yami delivers a powerful push kick to her backside that sends her flying into the pool. Hitting the water with a loud smack, Misaki - disoriented and panicking - flails, struggling to stay above the surface; Yami prowling around the edge of the pool. [[Just watch.|Yami and Misaki Poolside 1a]] [[Intervene to stop Yami.|Yami and Misaki Poolside 1b]] [[Intervene to scold Misaki.|Yami and Misaki Poolside 1c]] [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

As Misaki goes under, Yami plunges into the pool and hauls her to the surface, Misaki coughing and clinging to her desperately... her hands somehow managing to cup Yami’s breasts in the process. With an irritated growl, Yami unceremoniously heaves her onto the edge, Misaki spitting out chlorinated water. As Yami climbs out, Misaki turns her head to follow the sound of sloshing water. "You... really do love me... after all..." Despite coughing in between words, she manages a licentious grin. "//Damare, hentai bakayarō!//" Yami snarls, glaring at her before launching into an angry tirade in East Asian. "Oh, yeah... talk dirty to me..." Misaki croons, wiggling as her face flushes with arousal. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> "I see you haven’t learned your lesson..." Yami growls, staring at her with open disgust and contempt. "Perhaps you’d like me to break your fingers next time?" "Hmm... that’s a bit kinky even for me. I do need them, after all..." Misaki tilts her head, as though seriously considering the subject. "You wanna punish me, you //could// take that sword of yours and shove it in me as far as it’ll go..." Misaki’s hand slides between her legs, "Yeah... over and over and over as hard as you can... until I can’t think... until I can’t scream... until I’m nothing more than a quivering pile of cum-spattered flesh, begging to be fucked //harder// and //more//...!" She moans, giggling as she shows her slickened fingers to Yami. "Wanna taste?" Yami recoils from her, looking repulsed, nauseated, even horrified. "What the hell is wrong with you? You //want// me to kill you?!" "No, not kill, silly..." Misaki shakes her head, licking her own fingers off and savouring the taste, Yami looking like she’s about to throw up. "But if you wanna punish me for being such a //naughty// girl, I’m game for just about anything else..." Resuming her masturbation, she begins chanting in a sing-song tone between grunts of pleasure. "Beat me, whip me, make me bleed! Kinky sex is all I need!" You've never seen Yami look truly afraid of another person before, but the expression on her face comes pretty close as she backs away with her //bokutō// half-drawn, uttering a prayer under her breath."Hnng...What's the matter, Yami-chan? I thought you - ahn~! - liked hurting people?" Misaki tilts her head, looking genuinely confused and dismayed as Yami bolts in the direction of the forest without a backwards glance. "Where are you going? Weren’t you going to - ahh~! - punish me~?" As Yami disappears across the lawn, Misaki stands and licks her fingers off one by one, an eerily sinister smile spreading across her face as she cups her cheeks. "Oh, Yami-chan... teasing you is gonna be such... fun..." <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You’re about to run over and dive in to haul Misaki out of the pool when she finds the edge and pulls herself onto it, gasping for breath and looking for all the world like a half-drowned cat. //This has gone too far! Yami could have killed her!// "Hey!" You storm over, jabbing your finger at Yami. "What the hell, Yami! Apologize to Misaki right now!" Yami meets your glare with her own, her expression ice-cold. "Not until //she// apologizes to //me//." "Are you serious?!" You stare at Yami incredulously, "Kicking her into the pool like that, you could have drowned her!" "Oh please, I wouldn’t have let her drown." Yami scoffs, rolling her eyes, "I was just teaching her a lesson for trying to grope me." "You call kicking a blind person into the middle of a pool a //lesson//?" Indignation and anger flares within you, "What are you, the Mob?" "Yeah..." Misaki coughs, feeling around for her cane, "It was just a prank." "That’s not an ‘I’m sorry for trying to grope you’..." Yami picks Misaki’s cane up and for a moment you’re afraid she’ll do something bad like throw it away or break it. Instead, she jabs Misaki in the shoulder with it, Misaki snatching her cane away before standing upright. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> "Yeah, well you don’t exactly sound sorry for booting me into the pool." Misaki wrings out her hair and clothes, a smirk turns the the corners of her mouth upward as she bites her lower lip. "You know, I’m all for a little S&M, but //maybe// we should start with something just a little bit less extreme? And we should definitely come up with a safe-word first." "I //could// have just broken your fingers, you know." Yami folds her arms and scowls, "I’ve done worse for less." Without another word, she storms off towards the forest. "Hey! I’m not finished with you!" Yami completely ignores your angry shout. //That... that... ugh!// "She’s incorrigible!" You grit your teeth, running your fingers through your hair. "I should fire her! We don’t need an unstable maniac who tries to kill the people she’s assigned to protect." "Don’t be too hasty," Misaki frowns, tilting her head. "She //was// telling the truth when she said she wouldn’t have let me drown; and if she wanted to kill or seriously injure me, she could have. I think she just wanted to scare me badly enough that I wouldn’t try to grope her again." As she flexes and wiggles her fingers, you get the distinct impression that Misaki has learned little-if-anything from this incident, humming to herself. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> //Ugh... Yami’s not the only one who’s incorrigible...// Letting out an exasperated sigh, you shake your head. "Regardless, there were other ways she could have done that, too..." You grouse, looking her sopping wet body up and down. "You should go dry yourself off. Are you sure you’re not hurt?" "No..." A mischievous grin forms on Misaki’s face. "Although my poor heinie has a big owwie bruise on it. See?" She bends over and raises her skirt, wiggling her ass at you. "Could you kiss it better for me, <<print $misaki.callsPlayer>>?" //Misaki, Misaki, Misaki... the girl almost drowns and the first thing on her mind is getting laid...// You sigh, shaking your head in a mix of exasperation and amusement. "Let’s just get you inside, OK?" Misaki pouts, then nods and takes your arm in hers, making sure to squish it between her breasts as she allows you to lead her inside. Leaving her to change in one closest bathroom, with instructions to have Anna or Eve take her uniform down to the laundry to dry off, you step back outside to evade Misaki’s attempts to seduce you. //Now, what was it I was going to do again?// <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

You’re about to run over and dive in to haul Misaki out of the pool when she finds the edge and pulls herself onto it, gasping for breath and looking for all the world like a half-drowned cat. As she coughs up chlorinated water, you fold your arms disapprovingly. "I hope you’ve learned your lesson, Misaki." "Oh... hello, <<print $misaki.callsPlayer>>..." She turns her head in your direction, her sightless gaze not quite meeting your own, "Are the two of you ganging up on poor, defenceless, little old me?" She bites her lower lip, the eagerness in her expression making Yami pause, shooting you an incredulous look. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Sidling closer to Yami, you whisper in her ear. "The more you yell at her, let alone hit her, the more turned on she’s gonna get. She craves physical contact - //any// sort of physical contact - so the trick to punishing her is to deny her that." "You realize I can still hear you, right?" Misaki tilts her head and taps it in an attempt to get the water out of her ears. "Well, kind of. Something about punishing me?" Her face lights up. "Ooh, are you gonna spit-roast me?" She turns to you excitedly, "Get Yami-chan a nice big, thick strap-on and fuck all my holes I can’t think straight~?" "No." Yami says bluntly, glaring at Misaki with a look of utter disgust. "Aww..." Misaki deflates, pouting. "Are you at least gonna kick me again?" She lifts her skirt and proffers her ass, wiggling it. You can see she’s already sopping wet, trails of vaginal juices oozing down her legs and dripping onto the ground. "No holding back this time~!" Sharing another irritated glance with you, Yami turns and walks away, Misaki frowning. "Hey... Yami? Yami-chan?" She turns to look at you. "Where did she go?" "Out on patrol," You say, watching Yami disappear into the manor. "She probably won’t be back for a few hours." "Boo!" Misaki puffs out her cheeks, "I wanted her to punish me!" <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> "She //is// punishing you." You fold your arms, "And for that matter, so am I." Misaki’s excited expression evaporates, her sightless eyes widening in horror as you pronounce your sentence: "No masturbation for... the rest of the day." "But... but..." Tears beading in her eyes, Misaki collapses to her knees and crawls towards you, "Please, not that! Anything but that!" "And if I catch you harassing Yami like that again, I’ll up the punishment by a day per incident." "Noooo!" Misaki wails, clutching desperately at your legs "I’ll die! I’ll die if you do that!" Bawling, she buries her face in your crotch, rubbing her tear-stained cheeks against your growing hard-on, but you pull away. "Anything! Anything but that! Fuck my ass-womb! Fuck my mouth-pussy! Pump me full of babies!" "Those all sound like rewards to me," You extricate yourself from her before she can pull your fly down. "Only good girls get rewards, and you’ve been a //very// bad girl..." A little smile tugs at Misaki’s lips and you mentally kick yourself. //Shit. I forgot she gets off on that...// "Now get up and get back to work. As further punishment, you’ll be taking over Anna’s and Eve’s shifts for the rest of the day. Understood?" Misaki puffs out her cheeks even more, until her face looks like a sulky balloon. Then she deflates and mumbles, "Yes, Master..." under her breath, feeling around for her cane. Finding it, she rises to her feet, swings it back and forth around herself to get her bearings, and sullenly shuffles off in the general direction of the manor. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 15 }>><<set $misaki.affection -= 10>><<set $misaki.fear += 10>>

Noticing Mitsuko sitting on the edge of the pool, you approach and notice Yami is standing at the shallow end. Sliding in, Mitsuko shoots from one end to the other and back with the speed and grace of an Olympic athlete, gesturing for Yami to try. <<includeevent setup.events.PoolInsertsCoreYami>> Scowling, Yami kicks off the wall, kicking as hard as she can, but her body’s lack of buoyancy drags her down so that by the time she reaches the middle of the pool she’s dragging her belly along the bottom. With a concerned expression, Mitsuko dives after her, but Yami stands upright and simply walks along the bottom of the pool until she reaches the edge, jumping up to grab the rung of the steps and pull herself out. As water cascades off her body and out of her swimming trunks, Yami shakes herself off irritably, her matted-down hair making her look like a ghost from an East Asian horror movie. As she walks towards a pair of laid out towels, Mitsuko props herself up on the edge of the pool and watches her with an inscrutable expression. <<link "Remain beside the pool">><<gotoevent setup.events.PoolsideCoreGroup>><</link>> [[Leave the pool.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"Maybe another time," You tell her. You can see the disappointment in her expression as soon as the words leave your mouth, but she offers no protest. "Another time then," Eve's tone matches her expression as she speaks. For a second, Eve remains where she is, looking uncertain of what to do, then she nods, turns, and walks away. [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute :2 }>>

"Not tonight," You tell her. Eve sighs, "Ok, another time then," She somehow makes the few words sound like a statement of fact. Before you can comment, Eve turns and hurries away. [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute :2 }>>

"Not right now, I've got other priorities at the moment," You reply. Eve thrusts out her bottom lip in a pout, "Be that way then," She grumbles, then half smiles as she spins on her heel and hurries away. [[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute :2 }>>

This late at night Eve lacks much of her usual energy. That's not to say there isn't a bit of mischief and excitement in her eyes as she approaches, "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>," She calls softly. When she nears you, she steps close. For a split second you think she is going to give you a hug but she stops just short of doing so, "Do you ever look up at the sky at night?" "Sometimes," You reply, not sure where she is headed with her line of conversation. "Do you ever wonder what's up there? Do you ever think about just how big space is?" She continues. "You mean like aliens living somewhere out there?" You ask. Eve's expression is a little disappointed, "Everyone knows that aliens exist and that they stay away from us because they're scared of us. I've seen War of the Worlds," She sighs, "No, what I mean is, do you ever wonder what other worlds might be like, what the space between stars would be like?" "Not really. I guess I've always been a little more focused on what's going on in my own life to worry too much about the mysteries of the universe," You admit. "I think other worlds are out there, with their own people," You see her eyes shift upward, like she's trying to look through the house toward the sky, "I try to imagine what those worlds would be like sometimes, but how do you imagine the unimaginable?" You raise your eyebrows, taking a moment to think about what she just said. You're just about ready to comment when she continues. "I don't want to go to those places though," Her tone is a little sad. The silence lingers for just a second as you wait to see if she says anything more. Finally you ask the obvious question, "Why not?" "It would take a lifetime to travel to those places," Her eyes lock on yours, "Can you imagine how lonely it would be to just drift through nothingness? No ground, nothing, just being surrounded by //nothing,//" Her expression turns sheepish, "Would you like to come look at the sky with me? Look at the stars?" <<link "Go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveCore>> <</link>> <<link "Don't go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveDecline>> <</link>><<set $stargazingEve to true>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

"<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>," Eve's voice calls from near by. You instinctively turn toward her voice. "I was wondering," She half smiles, swaying slightly from side to side, "Would you like to come look at the stars with me?" The hopeful expression on her face is disarming, and you nearly forget what you were doing as you consider your answer. <<link "Go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveCore>> <</link>> <<link "Don't go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveDecline>> <</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

"Can we go on a date?" Eve asks innocently before you even notice her arrival. "What?" You ask, just a little surprised by her phrasing. Her expression turns sheepish, "We could take a long walk, maybe lay in a field and look up at the stars." "So, you want to go look at the stars with me?" You ask lightly, feeling a hint of amusement. Eve sways from side to side with a smirk, "Yeah," Her smirk grows into a grin as she draws out the one word. <<link "Go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveCore>> <</link>> <<link "Don't go stargazing.">> <<gotoevent setup.events.stargazingEveDecline>> <</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

In the quiet of the night, the soft breeze passing through the forest around the estate is like a soft whisper. //The sound could lull me to sleep pretty easily at this time of night.//

You turn your head quickly when you see a flash of light out of the corner of your eye. //Was that a shooting star?// Letting your gaze linger for another second, you then return your attention back to the sky above your head.

A bright slash streaks across the sky. You smile, a soft "Ooh!" from beside you is a clear indication that you're not the only one who saw the shooting star.

Somewhere far in the distance you can hear the soft hoot of an owl in the forest that surrounds the estate.

All around you the night is quiet with the exception of the soft sounds of nature.

For a few seconds, you allow your eyes to simply drift over the star field far above. So many stars painting a tapestry of tiny points of light across the sky.

You see a small red point of light in the sky near the horizon. The light blinking occasionally as it slowly crosses the sky. //Must be an airplane.// You muse.

Your eyelids begin to grow heavy as you look up at the sky. You stifle a yawn, but remain where you are, intent on enjoying the moment a little longer.

Out of the corner of your eye, you think you see a big of movement in one of the mansion windows. You give it little thought though, knowing that you and your stargazing partner are probably not the only ones still up at this hour.

Motion at ground level near the treeline pulls your attention away from the stars for just a few seconds. Like a shadow passing across a nearly black backdrop, you see Gaia moving along the edge of the back yard. Lifting a hand, you half heartedly wave in her direction. You see her pause, then take a few steps toward the trees where you lose track of where exactly she is. //Wonder if I scared her off?//

Just at the edge of your hearing, you can hear a soft growling sound, "RrrrrRrrrRrr," droning on. You turn your head to see what it is. [img[images/pets/FoxToy.png]] Not twenty paces away you can see Mully, the plushy skull he's so fond of with him. The little fox is crouched over the plush, his hips moving rhythmically as he continues to chew on one corner of the plush. //Mully //really// loves his plushy.// As soon as the thought crosses your mind, you pointedly look away from the scene.

You look over at your partner, seeing Eve looking up at the sky, her eyes full of wonder. Not wanting to distract her from the view, you remain silent, enjoying seeing her look so happy.

Glancing toward Eve, there's a little smile on Eve's face as she looks up at the sky. Feeling a matching smile form on your own lips, you turn your eyes back to the sky above.

Eve leads you a little ways away from the mansion, not stopping until the two of you are well away from any lights that might affect your view of the night sky. Then without warning, Eve spreads her arms and simply falls back into the grass. You can't help but smile a little as she lets out a little 'oof!" upon hitting the ground. Not wanting to repeat her feat, you sit in the grass before laying back in the lawn. Both of you remain silent as you look up at the night sky, your eyes drifting over the thousand of little points of light that you can see. With a content sigh you let your attention drift, enjoying the evening even though you're not really paying much attention to the sky. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Several minutes pass in silence before Eve says something, "I like this," She says softly. You aren't even sure if she said it to herself or to you, but you reply anyway, "This //is// nice." She doesn't say anything more. Instead she seems content looking up at the sky. It's not until the second time you catch her yawning that you realize that the two of you have been laying in the grass for quite some time now. //Just a few more minutes,// You tell yourself. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Sighing, "We've been out here for quite a while now," You say as you turn toward her. Eve opens her mouth like she's going to protest, but you see it turn into a yawn no matter how hard she tries to hide it, "You're right," She admits, "And it's probably past my bed time." Standing, you offer her a hand up which she gratefully accepts. "Thank you," She smiles, then hugs you from the side. You think for a second that she's going to let go and walk beside you properly, but she remains snuggled against you. Without any other ideas, you start walking toward the mansion, Eve pressed against your side making the walk just a little awkward, but not unpleasant. When the two of you reach the dining room door to the mansion, Eve pivots and gives you an affectionate hug, "Thank you," She says, a warm smile on her face as her eyes meet yours. Then without further warning, she hurries off, presumably to bed. [[End|diningRoom]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 56 }>>

Eve reaches out and takes hold of your hand like a child wanting to hold the hand of their beloved parent. Glancing down at her, you see no sign of her even realizing she's taken your hand, let alone any ulterior motives from the young woman. As the two of you walk, Eve chatters on about the sky, verbally wondering if there will be any shooting starts tonight, or if there will be too many clouds to see clearly. The moment you step into the back yard, you can see that her worries were unfounded. The sky appears clear, a whole tapestry of stars twinkling across the sky above your heads. Finding a nice spot a little ways away from the mansion, you both lay down in the grass looking upward. Eve laying very close to your side. Each of you look up at the sky, Eve pointing out every little thing that catches her attention while you try to keep up with her and point out a few things as well. After a while, Eve falls quiet, her eyes thoughtful as she looks up at the stars. You decide to remain quiet, leaving her to her thoughts. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Several minutes later, you begin to become aware of how quiet Eve has become. You turn toward her, but see her eyes still open even though her eyelids appear to be getting heavy. She notices your look and says sleepily, "Just a little longer. The stars are so pretty tonight." You relent without ever having spoken a word. When you turn your attention skyward again, Eve moves, shimmying closer to you until her side is pressed against yours, her head coming to rest on your shoulder. Taking a deep breath of the cool night time air, you enjoy this small moment in time for what it is. The stars in the sky seem to twinkle all the brighter. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> The minutes stretch on, though it feels as if you haven't been laying beneath the night sky for long at all. Eve murmuring something softly draws your attention back to her. //She fell asleep,// You realize when you see her eyes are closed, a peaceful expression on her childlike features. //Guess I should put her to bed,// You think. Carefully, you sit up, pulling her into your arms as you do so. With one arm supporting her back and the other holding her legs, you cradle her against your chest. Eve stirs, but doesn't quite wake up, her head nuzzles against your chest for a moment before she mumbles softly in her sleep, "Love you <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>." Careful not to wake her, you begin to carry her back toward the mansion. It's not until the light coming from the dining room falls over her face that she stirs again. Her eyes flicker open part way, a smile playing over her lips before she speaks, "I'm awake," From her tone you know that she is, but barely, "I can walk," She adds. You wait until you're through the door before you sit her down. She yawns, smiles at you, then shambles off without a word. //Hope she makes it to bed alright,// You think as you watch her go. [[End|diningRoom]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 66 }>>

"Let's go watch the stars for a while." You say to her, gesturing toward the door. Excited, Eve leads the way with a spring in her step. The moment you are out the door and in the back yard, Eve begins to point, talking about stars and planets with equal parts excitement and reverence. It's not long before the two of you are laying in the lawn, looking up at the sky together. A hush falls over the two of you as you simply enjoy the view overhead. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Several minutes later you notice a bit of movement. Not in the sky, but on the ground. You turn toward the motion, trying to figure out what it might be. Whatever it is, it's relatively small, bigger than a cat, but far smaller than a person. For several seconds, you watch the shape, realizing that whatever it is, it's walking on four legs. You have just enough time to realize that it's a raccoon when you hear Eve's excited voice beside you , "Oooohhh! A raccoon!" As soon as she makes the sound, the creature draws up short. It makes a sound that does //not// sound pleased and shies away just a little bit. Reaching out with one hand, you put yourself partially between her and the animal, instinctively trying to keep her out of harm's way. Eve pushes against your arm, leaning toward the wild animal. The tableau lasts a few seconds more. Then rather than moving away, the raccoon starts to move around you and Eve. Its eyes never leave the two of you as it circles around, maintaining the distance between you and itself without backing away at all. It pauses on the far side of you, looking at you for a few seconds longer, then scurries away in the other direction. You wait for several minutes, watching where it went to make sure it's actually gone, "Maybe we should head inside?" You ask. "I want to stay outside for a little longer," Eve replies, just a hint of a whine in her voice. //Raccoon is gone,// You console yourself, "Alright, just a little longer." Eve grins and plops back down on her back. Reluctantly, you join her. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Sighing, you speak up, "I think we should probably head in. It's late, and I don't want that raccoon to come back and decide it doesn't want to walk around us." "It was fine, he didn't want to cause any trouble," She says, "Besides, he was as scared of us as you were of it." //Says you.// You think, "Lets go." Eve sighs, but when you get up she does too. When you walk back to the mansion, you realize that your pace is just a little rushed even if Eve doesn't comment on it. At the back door, Eve excuses herself and hurries off to bed. [[End|diningRoom]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 45 }>>

You pretend to think about it for several long seconds. Across from you, Eve's eyes narrow as a scowl starts to form on her face. She reaches out and takes hold of your hand. Without even pausing, she starts walking toward the door of the room. You're faced with a decision, either stay rooted to the spot or let her drag you across the house. A grin breaks out across your face as you follow her, knowing you were going to accept her invitation anyway. Eve's brisk pace leads you through the mansion and out into the back yard. Barely a dozen paces into the back yard Eve pauses, a small gasp coming from her lips. You follow her gaze, her eyes turning skyward. Sprinkled across the sky in a swath are thousands, if not tens of thousands of crystal clear stars twinkling down at you. Still holding her hand, you continue into the back yard, this time her following you instead of the other way around. Once you're near the middle of the back yard, you sit down in the grass, Eve plopping down right beside you even though her eyes never leave the expanse of stars overhead. For a moment you watch her, marveling at the look of wonder on her face, //It's like the whole universe holds a bit of magic for her.// You sigh, laying back in the grass, //I wonder when I lost that part of myself?// Your thoughts quickly return to why you are out under the stars as Eve lays down beside you, laying close to you but not quite touching. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> Eve moves a little closer to you, her head turning toward you, "Is it just me, or are the stars brighter than usual tonight?" Your eyes drift over the sky for a few seconds before replying, "I think you're right. They almost twinkle tonight." Beside you, you can see Eve grin, then turn her attention back to the sky. The seconds pass into minutes without you even noticing. The stars hold your attention in the comfortable quiet that has settled over the two of you as you watch them slip across the sky so slowly that you can hardly notice their movement. <<includeevent setup.events.stargazingEveInserts>> At some point, your eyes drift closed for just a second, only you don't open them again as your breath settles into the steady rhythm of sleep. "<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?" Eve says from beside you. You stifle a yawn, prying your eyes open, //Must have fallen asleep,// You realize. "Have a nice nap?" She asks with a little smirk. Ignoring her question, you sit up, "I guess we should head inside," You say before standing. Eve gets up and walks beside you while the two of you head back to the mansion. At the door Eve turns and gives you a quick hug, "Goodnight," She says into your chest. "Goodnight Eve," You reply. Entering through the dining room, you see Eve hurry off ahead and disappear into the mansion. [[End|diningRoom]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 84 }>>

As you walk along the trail, you can hear the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves above, though few of those raindrops make it to the ground where you are. Glancing upward, you can see small gaps in the canopy overhead, but the trees make a surprisingly effective roof to keep the rain off of you.

Heavy rain bounds on the leafy canopy overhead, creating a loud roar as tens of thousands of heavy drops strike the leaves far above your head. While much of the rain is caught by those leaves, a few heavy drops make their way through the canopy to splash against the muddy ground.

Even though the rain has let up for the moment, you can still hear the sound of raindrops dripping from leaf to leaf as it makes its way toward the ground. Looking at the puddles on the trail, their surfaces are mostly still, only occasional rings forming as a droplet of water as gravity brings it inevitably to the muddy path.

Light rain falls from the sky, filling the world with fresh clean air and the constant patter or landing raindrops. It's the kind of rain that if you ran through it you'd hardly get wet, but standing for a while would likely result in you becoming soaked to the bone.

The rain is falling hard, with large heavy raindrops and a slight chill in the air. The end result is that you quickly feel the rain soaking to your skin and saturating your clothing so it hangs limp and soggy on your body.

Gently falling rain falls lazily from the sky, as if there's no urgency to reach the ground and even the sound of the rain striking the grass has a subdued whisper that seems to come from everywhere at once.

The rain comes in sheets, waves of droplets filling the air like waves beating at the ocean shore. Unfortunately, being caught out in it leaves you drenched.

The rain striking the blacktop of the driveway leaves the surface shining wetly as thousands of little rings rapidly spread from the point each droplet strikes only to be washed away almost as soon as it begins by the next raindrop striking the puddle.

As you watch a thousand raindrops strike the surface of the pond, you hear a louder splash from somewhere off to your side. By the time you look, the large ring spreading across the surface is already starting to diminish. <<talk "thought">>Must have been a fish jumping.<</talk>>\

The rain falling creates a pattern of thousands of small rings. Evey one of them intent on overtaking the ones around them in a perpetual series of ripples that seem to never end.

As the rain falls from the sky, your eyes drift to the pool where each raindrop striking the water creates another ripple that races across the surface before being washed away by the first ring it encounters. For a moment, you pause, marveling at the simple beauty of what you're watching.

The sound of rain striking the glass roof of the greenhouse catches your attention, drawing your eyes upward. Above your head, you watch the water running down the glass, creating a shimmering effect that makes you momentarily wonder if this is what it would look like to stand beneath a river and watching it flow by overhead.

Hard falling rain roars against the building's roof, making you thankful that you entered the building when you did. For a minute it continues to pour before starting to taper off again.

At the moment, the rain is only falling lightly, but somewhere in the building you're standing in you hear a metalic '//ting!//' as a drop of water drips from the celing. Glancing at the roof, you see no sign of where the water might be getting in.

You see several different sized barrels set up, filled with water. You can see red and green orbs floating on its placid surface. You watch as a woman puts her arms behind her back, then bend over and dunk her face into the barrel. You smirk as her head moves and twists for a few moments, sending water splashing all over, before she straightens up. A muffled laugh escapes the woman as she clenches a green apple in her teeth. <<link "Bob for apples.">><<gotoevent setup.events.appleBobbingCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>> Submitted by LFN Park

Among the laughter and loud conversation, you hear a gasp for breath as a young man comes up for air from one of the buckets full of water.

Nearing the apple bobbing area, you see a short line of people prepared to dip their heads into one of the barrels filled with watters and containing red and green apples that bob with the waves created by the last person who attempted to capture one.

"I want to do that!" Eve points excitedly. You laugh as she practically drags you over to a smaller, half sized barrel full of apples. //Probably meant for children.// You think to yourself as you judge its smaller shape compared to its larger brethren. "Go for it! Remember, you have to get an apple from the barrel just using your mouth." You explain. The small redhead laughs with glee as she puts her hands behind her. You can't help but laugh as Eve practically slams her face into the mass of apples, water splashing over you and her. Her pigtails slap the surface, sending tiny splashes into the air as Eve's had thrashes. Her teeth gnash as she continues, her head making tiny lunges forward towards the apples as a mad glee fills her eyes. It isn't long before she snaps up, sending a spray of water onto you as her pigtails whip around. Her arms pump into the air, a red apple clenched tightly in her teeth. Her top half is soaked from her mad thrashing, but she is oblivious as she lets out a muffled cry of triumph. Eve pulls the apple from her mouth, her grin ear to ear. "I did it!" "Good job!" You chuckle as she steps back over to you. "That was fun!" She giggles as water drips down her form. "Good!" You pat her shoulder as you both start walking away, Eve beginning to bite into her prize.

Eve smirks, jabbing you in the ribs with a bony elbow, "I want to see you try," She says. You look at the apple bobbing area, at Eve, then back at the apple bobbing area. As if sensing your hesitation, Eve whines, "Please!" With a little sigh, you move to the nearest unoccupied barrel, clasp your hands behind your back and plunge forward. The cold water is nearly enough to take your breath away. You nearly grab an apple on the way down, but it slips away from your teeth before you can sink them into the fruit. Chasing it, you quickly loose it, but feel another apple against the side of your face. Turning your head quickly, you manage to pin the apple against the side of the barrel and bite down on it. As soon as you know you have it, you raise up, sending a spray of water into the air as you pull your head out of the water. Unclasping your hands, you reach up to take the apple from your mouth with one hand, biting off a big chunk as you do so, then with the other hand you wipe the bulk of the water away from your face. At your side, Eve is grinning happily, laughing at the sight of so much water soaking your clothes. Still feeling the exhilaration of plunging into the cold water, you step out of the way to make room for the next person in line. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"I know you want to do it," Eve says in a conspiratorial tone beside you. "You think so, do you?" You retort. She just nods, a little self satisfied smile on her face as she does so. With an inward sigh, you feel your will crumble and you move toward the closest unoccupied barrel. You glance at Eve, receiving a massive grin in return, then clasp your hands behind your back, take a deep breath, and lower your face to the water. Feeling an apple brush your lips, you think it's going to be an easy task to catch one, so you push your face into the ice cold water, teeth bared as you seek out an apple. Only every time you feel an apple touch your face, or your lips, it seems to slip away from your grasp. You try for as long as you can, but eventually you have to come up for air. Gasping loudly, you draw air into your aching lungs, though you have nothing to show for your efforts. Beside you, Eve giggles, a playful twinkle in her eye as she looks at the water still running down your body. "Better luck next time!" She declares before skipping off into the crowd, leaving your to scramble to keep up. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"Do you want to try?" You look to Anna, her arm entwined with yours. She hesitates, eyes flicking between you and one of the taller barrels. "I guess..." Anna says, hesitance apparent. You stand next to the barrel as Anna looks uncertainly at the surface of the water. "Remember, you have to get an apple using your mouth. No hands!" Anna nods, folding her arms behind her. She slowly bends over, her face hovering over the red and green apples. She carefully opens her mouth, trying to bite into a red apple only to have it bob away as her blond locks dip into the water. You can't help but smirk as this continues, Anna taking the utmost care to try and sink her teeth into apples only to have it slip away like an elusive mouse. A few times you hear her squeak as her nose and chin break the waters surface. After a minute she stands, her wet blond hair sticking to her shoulders and dripping down her shirt. She blushes embarrassedly as she steps next to you. "I'm not very good at this." She says sheepishly. You smile warmly, putting an arm around her shoulders. "It's fine. You're good at other things with your mouth." You whisper with a naughty smirk. Anna's blush darkens as you and her walk away from the barrels.

"Would you like to see me get wet?" You ask Anna, trying to be playful. <<if $anna.affection gte 750 and $anna.fear lte 200>>She seems a little taken back by the suggestion, but realizing that your intent, she nods, "Ok." Anna watches you closely as you move toward the nearest barrel. Without seeming to realize what she's doing, her hands slowly rise toward her mouth, covering it as you clasp your own hands behind your back. Glancing at her one more time, you wink, then plunge forward in search of an apple. Almost immediately, you pin an apple against the side of the barrel and manage to sink your teeth into it. You come back up out of the water with a gasp, the chill water cascading down your body. Anna's amusement threatens to crack her usual reserved nature. As you step out of the way so the next person can try their luck, you see Anna's eyes follow your apple as you pluck it from your mouth with one hand, "Would you like the apple?" You ask. Her lips part, but anything she is going to say is stillborn as she closes them again, //Not quite brave enough to say yes with so many people around,// "Here," You hand it to her with a small flourish. Anna looks at the apple, then holds it close to her chest for just a second, as if she is holding some rare treasure, then she rises it to her lips and takes a small bite. As she eats the apple, you slip one wet arm around her middle and move away from the bulk of the crowd. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 550 or $anna.fear lte 400>>She seems uncertain of how to answer, and with a clear force of will, she finally replies with a simple "Ok."

You spot Claire over at the apple bobbing booth, she waves you over. “Fancy meeting you here chief, what brings you around here?” She asks, you can smell the stench of booze from her breath. “I was just taking a look around, seeing the sights and all.” You reply, Claire laughs, positioning herself over a barrel. “Well you came just in time then.” She says, before you can respond, the redhead plunges her head into the water, nearly diving her whole upper body with it. Water splashes everywhere, soaking some of the other contestants, you give them an apologetic look. Claire’s head thrashes around, further drenching the people around her. A moment later she stops moving, her head floating there. Worry slowly starts to creep into your mind and you move to check on her when suddenly she pulls her head back, taking a breath of fresh air. You notice she doesn’t have an apple in her mouth. “Uh Claire, I think you’re suppose to grab an apple on your way back up.” You can’t help but chuckle, her upper body completely soaked in water. “Ah whatever, I needed that.” She laughs, shrugging. You bid her farewell before returning to the crowd. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Irish Major Tom

As you’re walking through the crowd you hear a loud laugh, one you know all too well. You look around and spot a set of red hair over at the apple bobbing booth. You make your way through groups of people and approach the barrels, positioned over one is Claire, she smiles as you walk over to her. “Hey there boss, looking for some fun?” She asks, laughing. “You could say that, just enjoying the sights.” You reply, Claire nods before suddenly diving her head into the water. She thrashes about, pulling back a few seconds after, her mouth empty. “Ah bollocks, got nothin!” She curses, plunging her head back into the water a second time. You watch as she repeats this three more times before finally catching one in her teeth, she pumps her hands into the air triumphantly. “Ah, finally caught one of these fuckers.” She yells, laughing. Claire winks at you before diving back in, water splashing all around, nearly soaking you in the process. You back up, chuckling to yourself as you return to the crowd.

"I hear water," Misaki says from your side, her grip on your arm firm but not painful. "Apple bobbing," You reply, patting her hand absently as you speak. Misaki makes an excited sound, "May I try?" You pause for just a second, considering, "Sure, why not?" As soon as the words leave your mouth, you angle toward the nearest barrel and guide her hand to it's edge. With her other hand, she reaches out, patting the water a couple of times, then following the edge of the barrel around with her fingertips. //Looks like she's trying to figure out exactly how big the barrel is. She steps up to the barrel, pressing her belly up to it before clasping her hands behind her back, then she bends over slowly until the water touches her nose. She pulls back quickly, then plunges forward in search of an apple. Her head is barely beneath the water for a heartbeat before she comes back up, her teeth buried in a large apple. She grins, one hand reaching out to find the barrel before she plucks the apple from her mouth, "Master?" She calls in search of you. "Right here," You say, stepping out and taking her hand, guiding it to your arm, "That was pretty impressive. I expected it to take a little longer." She grins all the bigger, "I have a very talented mouth," She teases. Smiling to yourself, you start to lead her away from the barrels to make room for the next person who wants to bob for apples.

Ahead you see several barrels filled with water, apples bobbing on the surface. Beside you Mitsuko stares at them, wearing a sad expression. “Did you want to give it a go?” You ask, the raven haired woman hesitantly shakes her head. “I’m fine, thank you.” She gives you a forced smile as she replies. “Mitsuko.” You say her name, staring at her. “I suppose I could give it a shot.” She gives in, letting out a sigh. Mitsuko walks up to a barrel, and with her hands behind her back, she dives her head down into the water. Her movements quick and graceful, like a hunter striking its prey, her head pulls back a second later. A golden apple gently clutched between her teeth. Mitsuko releases the apple from her mouth, barely a mark on it. She looks at the apple then to you. “Um, I’m not hungry at the moment.” She moves to throw out the apple, but you stop her. “It would be a waste of a perfectly good apple.” You say, holding out your hand. She blushes but places the golden fruit in your hand. You take a bite of it as the two of you return to the crowd. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom

You catch Mitsuko glancing at apple bobbing contest, her eyes glued to the apples moving up and down on the surface of the water. “Come on, lets give it a go.” You say, dragging Mitsuko with you toward to barrels full of water and apples. You walk up to a barrel and release her hand, motioning to it. She hesitates but positions herself over the container. Mitsuko takes a deep breath, releasing it a second later. She suddenly strikes forward, her face barely touching the surface of the water. Her head pulls back immediately after, an apple clamped firmly in her mouth. She releases the apple from her mouth. “I’m not very hungry at the moment.” As she says that, she offers it to you. “Thanks.” You take the apple, thanking her.

Yami walks over to one of the barrels and stares down at the bobbing apples, her expression one of curiosity masked by disdain. "And the point of this is to what? Snatch an apple from the water-" she watches a man plunge his head into a barrel and come up with nothing but a sneezing fit. "-without using our hands? Seems simple enough, if unhygienic." "You wanna try?" You grin at her, framing it as a challenge. "Or do you think it's too easy?" Yami's eyes narrow before she flashes you a sinister smile. Clasping her arms behind her back, she stares down at the water, her eyes locked onto one of the apples. "Target acquired..." She lunges her head forward in a blur of movement, plunging it into the water like a striking snake and pulling back with the apple clamped between her teeth. Her triumphant expression quickly turns to one of disgust and she spits it out, glaring down at it. //What's going on?// Frowning, you pick up the apple and examine it, grimacing when you see the flesh exposed by Yami's bite-marks is brown and mushy. "Eeugh..." Yami contemptuously stomps on the apple, grinding it to pulp, and then nods to you. //So much for getting her to lighten up with a fun activity...// You sigh and head off into the crowd, Yami shadowing you and keeping a close eye out for potential threats.

As you approach the apple-bobbing station, Yami walks over to one of the unoccupied barrels and examines its contents haughtily - giving you the mental image of a cat pretending to be disinterested in a toy it desperately wants to play with. You chuckle, Yami frowning at you momentarily before returning her attention to the barrel. Her eyes flicker from apple to apple until she spots one she wants, her expression changing to one of almost feral hunger. Her teeth bared, she lunges forward - the impact sending a small plume of water splashing up. Yami surfaces with the apple crammed into her mouth, and bites off a massive chunk - exposing the core and seeds. //Isn't that a bit much?// You wince as she chews. "Hey, aren't apple seeds poisonous?" Yami pauses and looks down at the apple, then shrugs and rips another massive bite out of it. Once she's eaten the apple down to the core, Yami tosses it into a nearby garbage can and nonchalantly picks flecks of apple out of her teeth. "Where to next, boss?"

A small smile finds its way onto her lips, then she fidgets slightly before leaning close to you. //Must be something important, she hasn't been this uncertain around me in a while.// "May I ask you a favor? It's a little thing, but it would mean the world to me." Her voice is small, like she is scared that if she speaks it out loud it will somehow bring forth my wrath. "Sure, what do you need?" "It's not for me," She says, clutching her hands between her breasts as she meets your gaze, "It's for Eve." //It almost looks like she's begging,// "Ok then, what is it that you need for Eve?" You ask, feeling more amused than anything else at the awkwardness she is showing. "It's her birthday," Anna's voice is barely a whisper, "Or rather it will be tomorrow. Our former master would have struck me for even saying something, but I thought maybe you would allow me to make a cake for her?" After a brief pause, she hastily adds, "It's ok if you say 'no.'" //If I do a full party, this could get expensive.// //Unhappily, you think of your funds and quickly come to the conclusion that you simply don't have the funds right now to do something special.// <<if $Money gte 1000>>[[A cake?

Ask." Anna shuffles slightly in place, indecisive for a second before she clutches her hands between her breasts. She holds your gaze as she begins to speak. //It almost looks like she's begging,// You muse. "T-tomorrow is Eve's birthday and I was wondering if you would allow me to make her a cake."

Reluctantly, she takes a couple of steps toward you, revealing several pens, a stack of blank paper, and a few books, "I want to make my sister a doll."

"I don't think that cake is a good idea," You say dismissively. You can see the hint of hope in Anna's eyes crumble to disappointment. Her eyes glisten like she might cry, "Understood. I'm sorry to have brought it up," She says. She fidgets for a second, then continues, "I'll put these things back as well." The tremor in her voice is a clear indication of just how close to tears she is as she turns and heads back the way she came.

"Would you like some help making the paper doll?" You ask. <<if $anna.affection gte 800 && $anna.fear lte 250>>Anna looks surprised, then a smile spreads across her face, "It can be from both of us!" "Sounds good," You smile, offering to take some of what she is carrying, "How about we work in the library, the table in there should give us plenty of room to work." Her smile turns a little embarrassed, but she says nothing as the two of you start toward the library. "To be honest, I was going to use the servant's area because I was worried about how you would react to this," She says, casting a sheepish smile your way. You return the smile, opening the door to the library for her. The two of you spread the items she had gathered across the table and quickly get to work. For the next couple of hours, you help trace, color, and cut out items for Eve's paper doll. The whole time the two of you work in a comfortable silence, only talking occasionally as the two of you work efficiently. Often during the time you are working, you see Anna cast a look your direction, always looking happy. The few times you look up, she blushes and quickly looks away, unable to hide the smile that blossoms on her face. "I think that is enough," Anna finally says, her voice sounding a little sad. You look at the two 'dolls' and the dozen or so outfits for each. "Thank you for all the help," She says, getting up and starting to walk around the table. When she reaches your side, you reach out one arm and pull her into a partial hug. You can feel her lean into you as you do so. When you let go several seconds later, Anna is looking at the table, "I can clean up here," You feel her hand come to rest on your shoulder and when you look up at her, there's a look on her face that you can't quite read. "What are you thinking?" You ask, curious. Her cheeks redden and she turns her head to look at the table again, "I was just thinking that your Uncle never would have done something like this for us, or even allowed us to do it ourselves."

Standing, you slip your arms around her, pulling her to you. There's isn't a big height difference between the two of you, but so close to you she still has to crane her neck to look you in the eye.

North Hall

Your phone rings, catching your attention. You quickly pull it from your pocket and answer it. The party planners you talked with the day before are just a few minutes from the mansion. Not wanting to spoil the surprise, you decide to go down to the gate and let them in yourself. Five minutes later, you're just sliding the gate open as you see a large truck, then a second and third vehicle. //What the heck, I thought I was getting a bounce house and a clown.// The driver of the first vehicle slows and rolls down his window. Leaning out, he addresses you as the vehicle crawls past. <<talk "partyplanner">>We had two parties planned for this morning. The other one canceled. Since everyone's already being paid, I thought we'd treat you to a free upgrade.<</talk>> <<talk "player">>Thank you! If you can set up in the back yard that would be great.<</talk>> You smile, waving the man past, //This is fortunate! This might be even better than I had hoped!// As you watch, the first truck pass, you see the party planner's logo on the side. Then a second truck almost identical to the first passes. The third is a pickup pulling a trailer intended to transport animals, on it's side is the same logo, only it includes 'Petting Zoo' underneath. The sounds of animals inside as well as the stench of their waste wafts past you before you close the gate again. By the time you reach the mansion again, the party planners are already unloading the vehicles. You find yourself coming up short, marveling at everything on display. The party planner approaches you, leading a pony by a length of rope. When he stops in front of you, he gives the animal a carrot before speaking. <<talk "partyplanner">>You gave us pretty short notice, and I didn't think to ask how many kids you'd have?<</talk>> <<talk "player">>Just the one.<</talk>>\ You reply self consciously. <<talk "partyplanner">>I meant how many guests?<</talk>> Your heart sinks slightly as you open your mouth to reply, <<talk "player">>None. She came from a situation where she didn't have a chance to make friends, and she's never really been able to celebrate her birthday before.<</talk>>\ You weigh each word carefully as you speak. The man looks taken back, his mouth opening then closing as he seems to struggle to find the words. <<talk "partyplanner">>Well, that sucks. Guess we better put our best foot forward and make an unforgettable impression. Aught to take us about half an hour to get all set up.<</talk>>\ Then with a wink, he turns and heads in the direction the others had gone, the first of his hired help already returning for another load of equipment.

Heading toward the mansion, you are already trying to figure out how to keep Eve distracted before you step through the door. <<talk "player">>Anna!<</talk>>\ You call out when you see her coming down the stairs with a small bundle in her arms, //Eve's gift from her?// <<talk "player">>I need you to do me a couple of favors. First, get Eve and bring her to me, and make sure she doesn't look out any of the windows. The other thing, keep tabs on our guests in the back yard and let me know when they're ready.<</talk>>\ Anna's expression is confused, but she doesn't inquire about what is going on. With a nod, she turns and hurries off toward the south hall. [[Next.|Eve First Birthday Party 1b]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You barely have to wait a minute before you see Eve being escorted toward you by her sister. Anna's eyes flickering between you and her sister uncertainly before saying something softly to Eve then heading toward the dining room. <<talk "eve">>Anna says you need to talk to me about something?<</talk>>\ <<if $eve.affection gte 600 and $eve.fear lte 250>>Eve sways happily from side to side as he stands in front of you, a little smile on her lips as she meets your eyes. <<elseif $eve.affection gte 300 and $eve.fear lte 650>>Eve stands in front of you, her eyes searching yours as a small smile tugs at her lips. <<else>>Eve stands stoically in front of you, her expression wary. <</if>><<talk "player">>I hear it's your birthday,<</talk>>\ You say simply, waiting to see what kind of response you might get out of her. <<if $eve.affection gte 500 and $eve.fear lte 550>>Eve instantly perks up, a broad smile blooming on her face. <<talk "eve">>Anna says I don't have to keep it secret from everyone this year. She even hinted that I might get to celebrate! Can you believe I'm 19 now?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Your sister is right, she wanted to do something nice for you this year.<</talk>> The next few minutes settles into an easy conversation with Eve, her telling you about the way her sister would always try to sneak her a little snack on her birthday, and how she seems unusually excited today about Eve's birthday. <<else>>Eve looks cautious as she meets your gaze. <<talk "eve">>Anna says I don't have to keep it secret from everyone this year.

And no, you don't have to keep it secret.<</talk>>\ The next few minutes settles into a somewhat awkward conversation with Eve, her telling you about the way her sister would always try to sneak her a little snack on her birthday, and how she seems unusually excited today about Eve's birthday. All the while she talks, she seems concerned that she might say the wrong thing. //I suppose, after a few years, this kind of unease becomes habit.// <</if>>Motion at the dining room door catches your eye. Anna stands in the doorway, her eyes wide and one hand raised to cover her mouth. <<if $anna.affection gte 600 and $anna.fear lte 350>>She looks like tears could fall at any moment, but the smile she's half obscuring is a clear indication that she's happy about what she discovered when she looked out the back of the mansion. <<else>>She looks concerned, her eyes moving between you and her sister, then back to you to regard you warily. <</if>>A moment later, she vanishes back through the door again.

Eve is starting to look at you funny by the time Anna returns again. It's clear from the way Eve keeps glancing at the dining room door that she knows something is up, but she's just not sure what. Her head whips around again when she hears her sister enter. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, they're ready.<</talk>> Eve's brow furrows, her gaze moving between you and her sister twice before she bolts straight for the dining room door. You can't help but notice the way Anna smiles as her sister passes. //She looks happy. Even content and worry free.// <<if $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 150>>The smile Anna directs at you is warm, filled with affection. There's just a hint of blush that reaches her cheeks as you approach and walk together toward the back yard. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 500 or $anna.fear lte 300>>Anna's eyes search yours, as if still trying to make sense of the situation. There's a faint smile on her lips as she turns toward the dining room door, walking with you toward the back yard. <<else>>Anna's smile quickly fades when she looks at you, not quite meeting your eyes as she falls in behind you, following a couple of paces behind. <</if>>[[Next.|Eve First Birthday Party 1d]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

When you reach the back yard, you're pleasantly surprised by everything you see. There's a large open tent with a few chairs set up, a stereo system is playing peppy music and there's a clown juggling several random items, occasionally dropping one and chasing after it with comical effect. Eve doesn't seem to know where to look, her eyes keep darting between the clown, the small petting zoo, and the massive bounce house. The workers are clearly amused by her awe, seeming to enjoy her excitement nearly as much as Eve is enjoying everything she sees. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 100>>Feeling something brush your hand, you glance to your side. Anna blushes and can't seem to meet your eyes as you feel her fingers timidly curl around yours. Smiling, you give her hand an affectionate squeeze in return. <<talk "anna">>You're an amazing man. Somehow, every time I think I've seen the best in this world, the best in you, you do something like this to bring a little magic into our lives.<</talk>> She manages to let go of your hand only a fraction of a second before her sister slams into you. <<else>>You don't even see Eve coming until she slams into your side. <</if>>Staggering a few steps, you somehow manage to not be knocked to the ground. When you look at Eve, you see a massive grin on her face. <<talk "eve">>This is //awesome!// Thank you so much!<</talk>> [[Tell her she's welcome.|Eve First Birthday Party 1e]] [[Tell her it was Anna's idea.|Eve First Birthday Party 1f]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<set $eve.affection += 100>><<set $eve.fear -= 50>><<set $eve.trust += 25>> <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>You're welcome, now go have fun.<</talk>>\ With a playful swat to her bottom, you send her running off in the general direction of the petting zoo. Walking at a more leisurely pace, you and Anna follow in Eve's wake. By the time you get there' Eve is already among the animals, the two people working with the animals are busy telling Eve about the various creatures. Your eyes scan over the animals gathered, a pony, a white sheep and a black, three little pigs, an annoyed looking goat, a llama, and even a couple of large rabbits. Eve seems to want to pet them all at once, and the animals clearly enjoy the attention as they all seem intent to gather around her. It's not until you and Anna approach that some of the animals start to shuffle toward you instead. <<if $anna.fear lte 350>>As some of the animals rush toward you, Anna takes hold of your arm, stepping behind you as if expecting you to protect her from the oncoming stampede. <<else>>Anna seems to freeze up at the sight of the animals rushing toward the two of you.

To your side, you see the llama looking straight at Anna while Anna stares back just a little too wide eyed. One of the animal handlers nears Anna, taking hold of her hand and guiding it to the llama's neck. You can hear the young man encouraging Anna, but in spite of the reassurances she is still clearly a little overwhelmed. A happy squeal from Eve pulls your attention to her, seeing three little pigs knock her to the ground and start to nuzzle her. Anna however seems to just be starting to overcome her fear, her hand moving subtly against the llama's neck. After a moment, the llama seems to lose interest and starts to wander toward Eve again. Meanwhile Anna looks at the smaller animals around her. Significantly less intimidated by the bunnies at her ankles, she kneels down and timidly strokes their fur. You have to smile to yourself as you watch, //This might be as much for Anna as it is for Eve.// Several more minutes pass, Anna becoming increasingly at ease among the animals while Eve gleefully plays among them. Then one moment to the next, Eve is saying goodbye to the animals and rushing off toward the clown. She doesn't make it though, one of the people with the party planners catches her attention and in an instant she's talking to the man, clearly just as happy meeting a new stranger as she is with the entertainment all around her.

I can't believe you asked for something like this!?<</talk>>\ There's disbelief in Eve's voice. She gives you one more squeeze around the middle, then moves to her sister to give her a big hug as well. <<talk "anna">>Well, I-<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you, clearly unsure of what to say. <<talk "player">>She can tell you all about it later, go have fun.<</talk>>\ With a playful swat to her bottom, you send her running off in the general direction of the petting zoo.

I never even imagined something like this.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player'>>I think it means more to her knowing it's from you.<</talk>> Anna's expression turns thoughtful for several seconds before she nods subtly.

With Anna at your side, you wander toward the clown who's busy filling balloons with helium. Out of nowhere, Eve is right in front of the clown, her expression expectant. <<talk "eve">>What you doing?<</talk>>\ The clown grins, somehow manages to loose his cap as he does so, then trips into a forward somersault, landing in a sitting position just in time for the hat to fall on his own head. Eve squeals in delight, and even Anna smiles at the sight. Sitting in one of the chairs the entertainers had put out for people to watch the show, Anna sits beside you, her hands folded neatly in her lap. For the next fifteen minutes, you watch the clown perform, everything from the squirting flowers, to buzzers in his hand, to exploding bouquets of flowers and balloon animals. The whole time Eve squeals in delight and claps at every corny moment. Beside you, Anna watches with an almost childlike sense of wonder, her expression only composing itself whenever she notices you watching her. With an exaggerated bow, the clown swaggers forward a step, the entire stage falling down behind him in the big finale of his show. Eve rushes to the clown, gushing about how much fun she had watching his show, then asks if she can help clean up. The clown is clearly a little taken back by her offer, but politely declines her assistance. Eve thanks him for the show one last time, then her attention shifts to the bounce house, the clown forgotten in her wake. <<talk "clown">>You've got a great kid there.<</talk>>\ The clown tells you before turning his attention to cleaning up and putting away his stage and props. [[Next.|Eve First Birthday Party 1h]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 18 }>>

By the time you reach the bounce house, Eve is already inside, screaming excitedly every time she springs into the air. <<talk "eve">>Anna! You've //got// to come in here!

Anna turns toward you, her eyes pleading for a way out of the situation. [[Give Anna an out.|Eve First Birthday Party 1i]] [[Side with Eve.|Eve First Birthday Party 1j]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

<<talk "player">>Sorry Eve, Anna has a little errand to run!<</talk>>\ Eve makes a disappointed sound from the bounce house, but it doesn't seem to slow her bouncing in the least. <<talk "player">>Pizza is paid for and should be arriving in about twenty minutes. You can go sit out the cake you were planning to make and pick up the pizza at the gate.<</talk>>\ Anna looks relieved as she hurries off toward the mansion. Once Anna is out of sight, you turn your attention back to Eve who is happily bouncing, nearly doing flips as she springs about the interior of the bounce house. After a little while, the party planner steps up close to you. <<talk "partyplanner">>She seems to be having a lot of fun.<</talk>>\ There's pride in the man's voice as he speaks. <<talk "player">>She is.<</talk>>\ After a nod, he excuses himself, explaining that Eve is welcome to take as long as she wants, but that they're going to start packing everything else up. You thank him for everything, then turn your attention back to Eve. For nearly half an hour you watch until Eve, exhausted, finally slips from the bounce house. When you glance toward the mansion, you see Anna standing at the dining room door already.

<<talk "player">>I think that's a great idea. It will be fun, and it will make your sister happy.<</talk>> <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $$anna.fear lte 150>>There's a flicker of panic that's gone almost as quickly as it appears. Then, clearly steeling her resolve, Anna removes her shoes and moves toward the bounce house. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 450 and $$anna.fear lte 550>>There's clear uncertainty in Anna's eyes as she turns her gaze from you to the bounce house. Then her expression changes, clearly resigning herself to her fate as she removes her shoes and moves toward the bounce house. <<else>>You see a stillness pass over Anna's face, like all of her emotions fall behind a near perfect mask. She takes her shoes off and hesitantly moves toward the bounce house. <</if>>Anna has barely gotten into the bounce house when Eve jumps again this time jumping as high as she can then slamming into the bottom of the bounce house as hard as possible. The result is a massive displacement of air, disproportionate to her size, which flings Anna into the air. Only at her angle it flings Anna at a forty-five degree angle . She hits the floor of the bounce house face first, bounces nearly straight up sending her skirts flaring outward, then lands on her back with her legs parted toward the bounce house exit and her skirts up over her head. The young man tending the bounce house finds himself staring straight up between her legs, a goofy grin forming on his lips at the unexpected view he has been presented with. Flustered and blushing, Anna hurriedly pushes her skirts back down and gets to her hands and knees. Only before she can make her escape, Eve is at her side talking excitedly and urging her further into the bounce house. You stand nearby, watching the two of them. Eve clearly enjoying herself while Anna's misgivings slowly give way to a very reserved enjoyment as she bounces lightly while holding on to the side of the bounce house from the inside. Your phone ringing catches your attention, and you quickly pull it from your pocket. You see the notice that the pizza will be arriving in just a few short minutes. <<talk "player">>I need to run real quick. If the two of you can finish up in a few minutes, we'll eat in about fifteen minutes.<</talk>> Not waiting for more than a simple nod of acknowledgement from Anna, you hurry off to the gate leading into the mansion grounds. You arrive just a minute before a small car comes up the road, a loud ticking sign coming from the engine and a massive advertisement for the pizza parlor on the roof. A young lady with a scattering of pimples and braces gets out, pulls three pizzas from the back seat then approaches with a smile on her face. The two of you exchange pleasantries and once she confirms you prepaid, you hand her a few dollars for a tip, take the pizza and close the gate. The girl grins when you wave, eagerly waving in return before speeding down the road the way she came. You watch her go, silently wondering if the car is going to make it back to town, then turn back toward the mansion.

A few minutes later, you've said goodbye to the party people, brought in a massive bundle of balloons, and have the pizza and Anna's cake on the dining room table. Grinning, Eve talks around a mouth full of pizza, a bit of sauce marring the corner of her mouth. <<talk "eve">>Pizza is //awesome//.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna'>>Just because it's your birthday, doesn't mean you get to talk with your mouth full.<</talk>>\ Anna takes a small bite of her own slice of pizza, clearly savoring it as she chews. <<talk "anna">>You are right though, it is pretty good.<</talk>>\ Eve grins all the bigger, then stuffs a too-big bite of her pizza in her mouth, heedless of what her sister just said. After that, you lean back in your seat, watching the girls interact, the infectious excitement of Eve cracking Anna's usual reserved state to the point you notice a content smile on Anna's face more often than not. Even the chocolate cake brings forth a childlike joy from Eve. It's not until much later that Eve leaves the dining room, her usual excitement augmented by the sugar in the cake. Her fist is wrapped tightly around the bundle of balloons and they trail after her, traditional balloons accompanied by several animal shapes as if the animals are chasing her out of the room. <<if $anna.affection gte 700 and $anna.fear lte 350>>Anna steps up close to you, her hip brushing lightly against you as she takes your now empty plate. <<talk "anna">>Thank you, this was really special.<</talk>>\ She pauses, looking thoughtful before continuing. <<talk "anna">>If there's anything I can do to repay you, you need only ask.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I enjoyed this too.

When you step into the lounge, you realize that you are the last to arrive. Someone has turned on the sound system so it's playing Christmas music softly. Anna sits on the edge of her seat, her back straight as she asks Eve to stop snooping around the Christmas tree, from her tone you're sure it isn't the first time she's told Eve the same thing. <<$yami.hasFlag("contact")>>Standing off to the side, more watching than taking part is Yami.

Your thoughts turn to Claire, momentarily wondering if you should invite her to join you for Christmas. Reaching into your pocket, your fingers reach the cool plastic of your phone before you pause. [[Call Claire.|Claire Christmas Invite 1]] [[Don't call.| <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

You're almost ready to hang up, listening to the sixth ring on the phone when you hear someone pick up. There's a crashing sound, followed by more noise and a voice from somewhere distant, "Hold on! I dropped the fucking phone!" There's a clammor of what sounds like empty class bottles and cans being knocked about, the noise coming closer before Claire suddenly declares, "Got you, you little bastard, Hello?" "Claire?" "<<print $playerName>>, got a job for me?" You can mentally picture her trying to shake off her lack of sleep and her hangover from last night's binge as she tries to shift her thoughts toward whatever you might ask of her. "It's Christmas, and it occurred to me that you might like to spend it with us here at the mansion." There's a long pause before she finally replies, "I'll be right there." You hear noise, like she's trying to hang up the phone but fails. What follows is a tirade of profanity and more than one complaint about not being able to find an article of clothing before you finally hang up the phone on your end . //I hope this wasn't a bad idea.// Even as the thought crosses your mind, you're more amused by it than worried. [[Next.|Claire Christmas Invite 1b]] <<set $claire.affection += 10>><<set $claire.fear -= 10>><<set $claire.trust += 5>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Barely ten minutes later, you're opening the door for Claire, leaving you impressed at the speed she was able to get here. She offers a grin, her eyes looking past you already as she takes in the entry hall. She doesn't say a word, but it's clear that she's impressed by what she's seeing. //I live here, and sometimes I have to stop and just admire the place too.// Stepping past you, you take a good look at her. She's disheveled, like she didn't even have time to brush her hair before coming, and her clothes are stained from spills. When your eyes reach her pants, a small grin tugs at your lips. Before you can think better of it, you ask the first thing that crosses your mind, "Is that mistletoe?" Claire pauses, confusion crossing her features for just a second as she cranes her neck to look behind herself. When her eyes fall on the mistletoe patch on the back pocket of her pants, right over her ass cheek, she grins suddenly, "Sure is! Thought you could kiss my ass later." With a wink, she starts walking further into the mansion. The way she moves makes it clear she's teasing you, her hips ticking from side to side in a way that emphasizes her ass. "We'll be opening gifts in the lounge in just a little bit, then we'll have a nice lunch. Sorry we didn't get you,-" She cuts you off with a glance, "You have a bar in the lounge, I'll be fine." You find yourself following her, watching the mistletoe swing from side to side in an almost hypnotic fashion. [[Next.|Anna Gift Receive 1]] <<addtime { minute : 11 }>>

Anna looks at the package in her hands for a long moment, then looks at you with curious eyes. When she returns her attention to the package in her hands, she very carefully pulls the tape, clearly trying to avoid ripping or damaging the wrapping paper in any way. "Hurry up!" Eve declares excitedly, "I want to see what he got you!" Anna pauses, shooting her sister a look, then glancing back at you before returning her attention to the package once more. With agonizing slowness that seems to drive Eve into a frenzy of barely contained energy, Anna finally works loose the last little bit of tape. Holding the item's weight with one hand, she uses her free hand to open the paper to reveal the small box the e-reader comes in. "What is it?" Eve's voice is a mixture of excitement and curiosity. From where you're sitting, you can see Anna's brow furrow. Then her eyes start to move, clearly reading the front of the box. A moment later, she flips the box over in her hands and starts to read the back. You're surprised at how quickly she reads the back, her eyes darting back to the top once she's read it once, then reading the back a second time. Anna's hands tremble slightly as she opens the box, slipping it's contents out. Even having read the box, she looks surprised when the e-reader falls into her hand. Almost in a trance, Anna sits the box, the instructions, and the e-reader off to the side. Then neatly folds the wrapping paper in her lap before looking at you, "Thank you," She says, clearly looking uncertain of what to do. As you watch, she clasps her hands in her lap. "It's got a lot of books already on it, from a full range of topics. I know you like to read, so I hoped you would like that," You tell her. A little color creeps into her cheeks as she blushes, "I do like it," She says self consciously. Eve grins, "Yep, she likes it," She glances at you, "See how she's got her hands in her lap? She does that to keep herself from picking her book back up when I'm talking with her sometimes." When Anna blushes a little darker, Eve giggles softly. "Now open mine!" Eve declares, shoving a gift into her sister's lap that appears to be crudely wrapped in a brown paper bag. Anna casts a glance at you as a smile forms on her lips, then with the same care as she used when opening the gift from you. When the last of the paper falls away, Anna is left holding a drawing. You lean forward, trying to get a better look. You're amazed that instead of a child's doodle, the drawing is amazingly well done, worthy of being framed. The picture depicts a scene with three people. You can see yourself sitting in a field, Anna sitting in your lap as you look upon her affectionately. Anna's arm is outstretched, her finger extended and a look of joy on her face. Right at the tip of her finger rests a butterfly. Just a step away from the happy couple is Eve, a mischievous grin on her face as she seems to dance about the yard. "Took me a week to get that right," She cuts into your thoughts self consciously, "Anna, I just wanted you to see how happy you look. You used to be sad and scared all the time. I like you how you are now, you know how to smile again." Anna suddenly reaches out, throwing her arms around Eve and pulling her into a tight hug, "Thank you," She kisses her sister's brow, "You're happy and safe now," Anna's eyes flicker to you, a warm smile forming, "I guess I have more to smile about now," She says softly. Eve just grins, then slips away from her sister, eyes scanning her surroundings, clearly looking for additional gifts.

Eve's excitement is almost immeasurable as she nearly vibrates in her seat looking at the gifts in front of her. Her eyes dart around, and then her brow furrows slightly, //Bet she just realized that there's nothing from Anna. Or at least nothing she can see just yet.// While the slight frown remains, she starts to open up the gift you got her, shredding the paper and sending bits flying through the air as she hastily shreds her way to the treasure within. For just a second she looks at the assortment of toy guns in the package with confusion in her eyes, then a faint smile forms on her lips before she starts to free it from the package. As she finally pulls the largest of the three toy guns free, she frantically starts to load it, eyes just a little too wide in her excitement. At the same time you subtly reach to the side of your seat where you hid a matching gun already. Waiting until she's got her toy gun loaded, you raise your run and fire. Eve doesn't even flinch, ducking to the side as she dodges your shot, then with a maniacal laugh she returns fire. You jerk back as you feel the suction cupped dart strike you in the forehead. Laughter fills the room, Eve nearly falling out of her seat and even Anna placing one hand over her mouth in an attempt to hide her giggle. "It stuck there, didn't it?" You ask before reaching up, discovering that the dart really is still stuck to your forehead, "Beginner's luck," You mutter, barely able to suppress your own smile. Then as quick as that, the moment passes as Eve's expression falls. Guiltily, she glances at Anna again. "Hey Anna, didn't I see you doing something behind the bar earlier?" You ask, already knowing the answer. Anna looks at you, then at her sister, her smile blossoming as her sister gets up and charges through the same mess she just made toward the bar. You can't help but notice that she's still got the dart gun in her hand. Acting quickly, you manage to fire off two shots at Eve as she runs, only one of which hits her. Eve dives behind the bar, vanishing from your view for several seconds before reappearing, When she comes back into view, she's holding the massive stuffed bear Anna picked for her like a human shield, her own toy gun pointed at the back of the stuffed bear's head, "Drop the weapon or Teddy gets it!" Laughing, you do as you're told, putting your hands in the hair in surrender. Eve grins all the larger, then with a flick of her wrist redirects the gun from the teddy bear to you, emptying the entire clip of her toy gun into your chest before returning to her seat. You can't help but notice that she places the giant stuffed animal between you and her like a human shield. Grinning as she looks at her gifts, all of her toy guns fully loaded and placed strategically within her reach, she finally lets her eyes pan over the room along with the unopened gifts in front of everyone else, "Thank you, I love everything!" <<if $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")and $mitsukoGift is "pendant">>[[Next.|Mitsuko Gift 1]] <<elseif <<$yami.hasFlag("contact")>>[[Next.|Yami Christmas Gifts 1]] <<else>>[[Next.|Gift from Anna 1]] <</if>><<set $eveChrGift to false>> <<set $eve.affection += 40>><<set $eve.fear -= 35>><<set $eve.trust += 15>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

<<if $mitsuko.affection gte 800 and $mitsuko.trust gte 700>>Mitsuko eyes you curiously before turning her attention to the package in her hands. “You didn’t have to get anything for me.” Mitsuko says. “//Just your love and affection.//” She whispers, you barely catch it. Mitsuko carefully opens the package, gently tearing the tape off. Once the last bit of tape is removed, her gaze falls on you. “Is this?” She asks. You nod, motioning her to open it. Mitsuko slowly opens the jewelry box, the moment she lays eyes upon the contents of the box, her hands tremble for a second. Mitsuko blushes, her cheeks turning a faint red as she pulls the pendent out. Mitsuko is speechless, her eyes widening in surprise. “I heard from Eve that you love the cherry blossoms from your homeland.” You speak up, her gaze falls upon you. Tears forming around the corner of her eyes. “T-Thank you, I love it!” Her voice falters for a second, she wipes the tears from her eyes. You’re caught off guard when suddenly Mitsuko hugs you, her mouth pressed against yours as she kisses you. She pulls away and holds her hand out, in the palm rests the pendent. “Would you like to do the honors?” She asks. You look to her then back to the pendent, hesitantly you take it out of her hand. Mitsuko spins around, facing the opposite direction she lifts her hair up, exposing the back of her neck. With the pendent in hand you reach forward, placing the jewelry around her neck before connecting the ends together. “Done.” You say. She releases her hair. You suddenly wrap your arms around her, pulling the raven-haired woman into an embrace. Mitsuko accepts it and rests her head against yours. “Thank you <<print $mitsuko.CallsPlayer>>, it’s beautiful.” She whispers to you. You break away from her a moment later. <<if <<$yami.hasFlag("contact")>>[[Next.|Yami Christmas Gifts 1]] <<else>>[[Next.|Gift from Anna 1]] <</if>><<set $mitsukoChrGift to false>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom <<set $mitsuko.affection += 10>><<set $mitsuko.fear -= 10>><<set $mitsuko.trust += 10>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Stepping forward, Yami rubs her arm and looks, for once, abashed. As everyone turns to look at her with inquisitive expressions, she looks away, then sighs and faces them. <<talk "yami">>My family never celebrated Christmas, so I honestly don't get what all this fuss is about.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Never...<</talk>>\ Eve looks horrified, her eyes wide in shock. She turns to look at Anna, who is looking at Yami with something resembling... pity? //Well... it's not like they had many Christmases with their family either,// You frown, cupping your chin in thought. You're about to say something when Yami steps back and produces a stack of packages. <<talk "yami">>I got these for you... but if you don't like them feel free to return them. I don't care.<</talk>>\ Yami's tone is one of faux indifference as she distributes the packages. Eve gleefully tears into hers, coming up with a baseball bat - thankfully without any nails embedded into it, an old-school doll, and a box of exotic chocolates. With a squeal of delight, she immediately begins devouring them, Anna making a noise of disapproval.

<<talk "player">>Eve, where are your manners?<</talk>>\ You scold. Looking abashed, Eve finishes chewing a massive mouthful, brown-tinged saliva oozing from one corner of her mouth. Once she's swallowed enough to be able to speak, she manages something that sounds vaguely like, <<talk "eve">>Tank ooo!<</talk>>\ Before she resumes stuffing her face - completely disregarding Anna's disapproving scowl.

Pouting, she wipes her face off on her sleeve and resumes chewing, scowling at you and Anna. Grinning, you playfully poke Eve in the nose, making her giggle as she swipes at you hand. <<talk "player">>Come on, Anna,<</talk>>\ You turn to the blond girl and place a hand on her shoulder. <<talk "player">>It's Christmas.

You pluck the box of chocolates from Eve's hands, holding it out of her reach as she protests and tries to grab it back. <<talk "player">>Ah, ah, ah. We wouldn't want you to spoil dinner.<</talk>>\ Noting Anna's look of approval, you pass the box of chocolates to her. For a moment Eve looks like she might cry, turning to look up at Yami as though beseeching her to intervene. Then with a resigned sigh, she turns to her other toys and begins playing with them.

<<talk "yami">>Your turn, Anna.<</talk>>\ Yami passes Anna three packages and then steps away, watching with poorly-masked uncertainty as she sits down and begins unwrapping them. The first present is a selection of clothes. <<talk "yami">>So you could have something to wear aside from your maid uniform.<</talk>>\ Yami says quietly as Anna holds up a nice-looking T-shirt with a sunflower on the front. <<talk "yami">>If you don't like them or they don't fit, don't hesitate to return them.<</talk>>\ //I wonder how Yami got clothes that fit Anna...?// You frown suspiciously. //And she calls me a pervert...// Anna seemingly has the same thought as she blushes and quickly sets the clothes aside, unwrapping her second present. Inside is a framed illustration of Anna and Eve standing together, Anna resting a hand on Eve's shoulder and Eve wrapping an arm around Anna's waist. They look happy and are smiling at each other. Opening the frame, Yami takes out the sheet of paper and shows Anna the reverse side. As she gasps, you look over her shoulder and see that on the back there is a short three-line poem reading: //Sisters together, Suffering cannot break them. United forever.// <<talk "yami">>I hope you like it...<</talk>>\ Yami says as she returns the illustration to its frame and holds it out to Anna. <<talk "yami">>I'm not much of a poet, so...<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Yami... thank-you...<</talk>> \ Anna whispers, a tear tracing a wet line down her cheek as she takes it. Frowning, Yami reaches out as though to hug her, but hesitates. [[Give them a little push.|Yami Christmas Gifts 1e]] [[Start unwrapping your presents.|Yami Christmas Gifts 1f]] Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Sharing a smirk with Eve, you sidle up behind Anna and give her a gentle push into Yami's arms. As Anna stumbles, Yami quickly catches her and the two end up in an awkward tangle of arms approximating a hug. Anna tenses, but Yami gently embraces her before planting a hesitant kiss on Anna's forehead. <<talk "eve">>Boo! Give her some sugar!<</talk>>\ Eve cat-calls from her perch, making a kissing face. Rolling her eyes, Yami releases Anna and steps back, turning to look at you.

Turning your attention to the gifts Yami got you, you're surprised that she got you anything. Sitting down on a chair, you begin opening a small package to find a fancy watch inside, the tiny gears visible through openings in its face. Holding it to your ear, you can hear it ticking quietly. <<talk "yami">>Something to make you look more... dignified.<</talk>>\ Yami says wryly, Eve giggling slightly. Yami's second present is a cane, which is unwrapped save for a bow affixed to the handle. //Huh. It's surprisingly heavy...// <<talk "player">>Err... thanks? But I'm not an old man just yet.<</talk>>\ You grin teasingly, but Yami's expression is dead-serious. <<talk "yami">>If you ever live that long, you'll thank me. Also, it's not just a cane...<</talk>>\ She takes it back and taps a hidden trigger on the side. With a quiet click, the handle detaches from the cane to reveal a sword. <<talk "yami">>At least now you won't be completely defenseless in a fight.<</talk>>\ Yami grins as she slides the blade back into the cane and passes it back to you. <<talk "player">>Umm... thanks?<</talk>>\ You set the cane aside, handling it carefully as you do so. //Why on earth would she think I would need a cane sword of all things? Still, it is kind of neat.// You fake a smile and settle back as Yami turns to leave. <<talk "player">>Where are you going?<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Out on patrol.<</talk>>\ Yami pauses at the door, turning to look at you. <<talk "yami">>I hope you liked the presents...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Nonsense,<</talk>>\ You shake your head. <<talk "player">>Your patrol can wait. It's Christmas, your first for that matter.<</talk>>\ For a moment, Yami looks like she's about to talk back, but instead she steps back into the room and settles against the wall with an expression of... contentment.

<<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 50 and $anna.trust gte 750>>Self consciously, Anna steps close to you, holding an envelope in both hands. There's a hint of blush coloring her cheeks and a hopeful smile just starting to tug at her lips. As she presents it to you, you can't help but remember your first meeting, when she stood in the entry hall of the mansion with the letter from your Great Uncle Dave. Yet even though the pose is the same, her body language is completely different. Instead of being rigid, unable to meet your eyes out of sheer terror, she instead has the expression of someone whose fear is not living up to your expectations. Smiling at her, you accept the envelope, starting to open it, you withdraw a folded piece of paper on an old looking piece of stationary, //I wonder where she found the stationary?// You wonder idly as you unfold the paper. Then your eyes fall on the hand written letters, the grace and flow of the letter clearly shows that this is not a simple note, but intended to be a work of art. Taking the time to enjoy the piece, not only for the words written, but also for the skill of the penmanship, you start to read. //Low was life before you A miserable set of days without hope Wrought with pain and fear A sudden death brings unwelcome change Would a new master bring about new nightmares before unthought Could my only wish still go fulfilled. Contrary to expectations you come along Not mean, nor threatening, nor harsh at all A man of kindness and compassion A new feeling comes unlike any known before This warm feeling in my heart like a sun that brings warmth What to call this new sense of purpose You brought me hope When all was but darkness You showed me light.// When you look up at Anna again, there's fear in her eyes, bordering on panic. //She's terrified that I don't like it.// Your eyes return to the paper, reading the poem a second time before you finally speak, <<talk "player">>Those might be the kindest words anyone has ever used when talking about me. Thank you.<</talk>>\ After a moment's hesitation, you think to hastily add, <<talk "player">>You are an amazing woman, and you consistently bring out the best in me. So thank you for making me the man you think so highly of." By the time you finish speaking, there's a tear following her nose downward, her bottom lip trembling as she nods and smiles. Reaching out, you pull her into a tender hug. You can feel her body shaking like she's silently crying, so you simply hug her a little tighter and hold her until she's done. She smiles as she wipes away her tears, looking embarrassed at the same time. Then she quickly steps out of the way so to the exchanging of gifts can continue.

She can't quite look you in the eyes as she extends her arms. As she presents it to you, you can't help but remember your first meeting, when she stood in the entry hall of the mansion with the letter from your Great Uncle Dave. Yet even though the pose is the same, her body language is very different. She's still standing stiffly, but it's nowhere near as rigid, and her expression is still severe, but lacks the fear you saw in your first meeting. Smiling at her, you accept the envelope, starting to open it, you withdraw a folded piece of paper on an old looking piece of stationary, //I wonder where she found the stationary?// You wonder idly as you unfold the paper. Then your eyes fall on the hand written letters, the grace and flow of the letter clearly shows that this is not a simple note, but nearly a work of art in it's own right. Taking the time to enjoy the piece, not only for the words written, but also for the skill of the penmanship, you start to read. //I walk alone, my gaze on high, The cold is freezing I know, but I Have a reason each day to live my life It's better this way, it's better alone No one to hurt you, no sins to atone So each morning I'll raise from my bed Take care of the kindness that brought me out to light It's for my brokenness that I bring cold, What I hold dear, to my chest I must hold My flesh and my blood, the only for whom I fear I give you my thanks, I give you my all Deeds of the past still shape who I can be Free from chains only physically Please understand it's not with malice Sometimes it will be hard to say grace At end of day, I don't hate to see your face.// When you look up at Anna again, there's fear in her eyes, bordering on panic. //She's terrified of how I'm going to respond to it.// Your eyes return to the paper, reading the poem a second time before you finally speak, <<talk "player">>Thank you. I can't imagine what you've been through, and I am sincerely happy that things are better for you now.<</talk>>\ By the time you finish speaking, there's a tear following her nose downward, her bottom lip trembling as she nods and a weak smile tugs at the corner of her lips. Reaching out, you pull her into a tender hug. She initially tenses, but after a long moment she seems to relax. You can feel her body shaking like she's silently crying, so you simply hug her a little tighter and hold her until she's done. She smiles faintly as she wipes away her tears, looking embarrassed at the same time. Then she quickly steps out of the way so to the exchanging of gifts can continue.

Carefully, you open up the flat package, so flat in fact that it can only hold a piece of paper or something equally as thin within. It takes you a second, but you find a seam and start to open the little package as Eve looks on. When the top piece of paper is pealed away, you realize that there's a hard drawn image within, one that expresses an amazing amount of talent. <<if $anna.affection lte 0 and $anna.fear gte 900, and $eve.affection lte 0 and $eve.fear gte 900, and $eve.trust lte 0>>Looking at the drawing, a sense of dread washes over you. You're looking at a picture of yourself, laying in bed, your body bloated and discolored, with hair and teeth falling out and blood running from the ears, nose, and eyes. Slowly, you turn your eyes to Eve, //I know she hates me, almost as much as her sister does, but even so, this comes as a surprise,// "What is the meaning of this?" Eve stares back defiantly, "You're mean, and I hate you. I hope you die the same way your great uncle did." Anna's eyes widen in horror as she finally looks at the drawing in your hands, then Eve takes her hand, dragging her sister behind herself as she runs from the room. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 175 and $anna.trust gte 750 and $eve.affection gte 800 and $eve.fear lte 150 and $eve.trust gte 650>>"I know it's not much, but I wanted to do something nice for you.

Both of you look peaceful, the only thing marring the image of peaceful slumber is the bright red kiss mark on your cheek. As your eyes shift to the space right beside the bed, you see Eve standing there, the same bright red lips as what are on your cheek and a toothy grin on her face. "Thank you, I love it," You reassure her before turning it so Anna can see the image. A faint smile plays at her lips as you sit the image safely to the side. <<elseif $eve.affection gte 800 and $eve.fear lte 150 and $eve.trust gte 650>>"I know it's not much, but I wanted to do something nice for you.

You sit back in the chair you are sitting in, watching as the remainder of the gifts are exchanged. Smiles are punctuated by occasional laughter as all of you are swept up in the moment. Anna and Eve seem to be in a sort of reserved daze, Anna's mannerism is cautious yet somehow hopeful Even as Eve's usual enthusiasm seems to subside every time it nearly bubbles over. //They haven't been allowed to celebrate Christmas for a very long time, This probably seems strange to them. Granted, this is all new to me as well. I'm used to spending Christmas with my family, but I suppose that in a way this is my family now as well.// You aren't sure how long you sit there like that, watching the activity <<if $eve.affection gte 500 and $eve.fear lte 350>>One moment to the next, you're forced out of your reprieve.

"Thank you, this is the best Christmas ever," She says into your ear before disengaging and darting back to your meager assortment of gifts. <<elseif $eve.affection gte 200 and $eve.fear lte 700>>Eve steps in front of you, pulling you from your reprieve. She hesitates for a long moment, then opens her mouth to speak, "Thank you, I don't remember the last time I got to celebrate Christmas." Without further warning, she throws her arms around you in a sudden hug. A hug that you return with equal enthusiasm. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Anna looking at her sister, a deep sadness in her eyes. A second later you loose sight of her for the blink of an eye as Eve pulls away and when Anna's face comes back into view it is once again carefully composed. The second Eve is free, she rushes back to her meager assortment of gifts. <<else>>You notice Eve looking at you, a curious sort of expression on her face.

Slipping an arm around her shoulder, you hug her gently to your side. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 700 and $anna.fear lte 250>>Anna steps close to you, looks at you, then at the space beside you as if seeking permission to sit.

Eventually, you stand. With one last look around the room, you pick up the gifts you received then excuse yourself to go put everything away. When you near the door, you glance back you can see Anna already starting to pick up the loose wrapping paper, neatly folding each piece before setting it aside. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

"Can I get the two of you to help me with something?" You ask Anna and Eve as you start to get up, your eyes drifting over the discarded wrapping paper and gifts scattered about the room, "I want to do a little something for Gaia. I doubt she has any concept of Christmas, but I'd still like to give her something." By now, Anna's looking at you curiously, and Eve's growing excitement is clear in her eyes, "How can we help?" Eve asks. I need a bag, preferably a duffel bag or something that will hold up. A blanket, doesn't have to be real nice. Maybe some twine or other small things she would find useful. And we can add a bag of apples to the bag." Anna nods, "There are several bags in the storage area that would work, and there's extra blankets in the servants area." "I'll go to the shed, there's twine out there!" Before you even have a chance to acknowledge, Eve is already rushing past. Looking at Anna, you shrug, "In that case, I'll head to the kitchen for some apples and see if I can find anything else she might like," You tell her, "I'll meet you in the dining room in a little bit." Parting ways, you do exactly what you had said. Once in the kitchen, you head for the pantry for a bag of apples, then head back into the kitchen proper to to gather up a couple other pieces of fruit to add to the pile. Once that is done, you move to the refrigerator and dig through it for a minute, finding a couple of portions of leftovers from the last day's meals. For a moment, you consider adding silverwear to the bundle, but you realize she probably wouldn't use them anyway. Shrugging at the meager pile of food, you pick it up and carefully carry it into the dining room and angle toward the back door. You're almost there when Anna enters the dining room from the entry hall. She has a large duffel bag on her hands, partially full already. She sits it on the long table that dominates the room, opening it to reveal the blanket already inside. Moving to her side, you sit down the items you are carrying, then start to help Anna add them to the bag. By the time you're done, the bag is mostly full. You're just starting to wonder where Eve is when she comes charging into the room from outside, an unopened package of twine clutched in her hands. "Thank you," You say, taking the bundle and stuffing it into the bag with the rest. Zipping the bag closed, you get ready to sling it over your shoulder to carry it outside, "Should we all do this together?" "Anna can't go," Eve says matter-of-fact. "Why not?" You ask at the same time that a quizzical expression crosses Anna's face. "Anna will just want to give Gaia a bath becuase she's dirty. I think Gaia can sense that, and she stays away from her because of it," Eve says as if that's the most logical explanation in the world. "I think she's more leery of Anna simply because she doesn't spend as much time around Gaia as you do," You point out. From your side, Anna speaks up, "You should do it," She says to you, "She likes Eve the most, and it's been hardest for you to earn her trust." Eve nods sagely in agreement.

Not prepared to argue with them, you slip out the dining room door into the back yard and start toward the treeline. "Gaia!" You shout, hoping she's somewhere close enough to hear the sound of your voice. A minute passes, then two. <<if $gaia.affection gte 700 and $gaia.fear lte 150 and $gaia.trust gte 800>>Finally you see Gaia exit the woods, spear in hand and her eyes scanning the area around you before falling on the duffel bag you are holding. "This is for you," You say, holding the bag out toward her. With one hand still holding the spear, she takes the bag, looking at it as she starts to turn it over in her hands. "Like this," You step toward her just a little too quickly, causing her to tense for just a second, "Like this," You repeat, this time moving slower as you reach for the zipper and slide it along it's path to reveal the bag's opening. Gaia's eyebrows raise, obviously amused by how the zipper works. She reaches for the zipper, sliding it up and down, her grin growing with each flick of her wrist until she finally sees what's inside. Her face absolutely lights up and she nearly drops the bag in her haste to grab an apple from within. "I don't know if you understand what Christmas is, but today is Christmas," She glances at you, curiously, the act punctuated by the crisp sound of her biting a chunk of the apple off of the fruit, "It's a day where people get together with the people they care most about, exchange gifts, and try to show each other how much they care for one another." Another bite from the apple punctuates what you're saying, Gaia's eyes are clearly on the interior of the bag looking at what's inside, "I thought we should do something nice for you, to show you that we care," You shrug to yourself, not sure that she's even listening to you. Your sudden silence seems to draw her attention however, her eyes move to you, then back to the bag before she steps toward you. Her eyes bore into yours, and she's standing so close that you can smell the dirt and stale stench of far too many days without a bath. As you watch her, she takes a deep breath and lets it out in a heavy sigh before suddenly resting her head on your shoulder. For a second you hesitate, uncertain of what she's trying to do, but then you do what comes naturally, you slip your arms around her and hug her lightly. In the seconds that follow, you can feel her arms slip around you too, the wet side of the apple in her hand soaking through the back of your shirt. Without warning, she breaks contact, stepping back from you. Her eyes flicker from you, to the bag, then back to you as if to ask if it's really ok to have it. You nod, "It's yours, I hope that everything in it is useful." As if that's all the confirmation she needs, she grins, takes another bite of the apple, then turns and bounds off into the forest again. Watching her go, you call out, "Merry Christmas Gaia!" She glances over her shoulder at you when she hears you, grins, then continues on her way. After Gaia has vanished from your view, you turn and start to wander back toward the mansion, the cold winter air becoming obvious as you step back into the warmth of the mansion, //I hope you stay warm,// You think as you cast one final look back at the treeline before closing the door behind yourself. <<elseif $gaia.affection gte 700 or $gaia.fear lte 150 or $gaia.trust gte 800>>At first, you see movement in the trees, something moving just beyond where you can see clearly, then as it moves closer it becomes obvious that it's Gaia. She seems wary, her eyes moving between you, the bag you are holding, and her surroundings. Sitting the bag down, you open the zipper and pull out an apple. Gaia's eyes snap to the apple then after a heartbeat to your face, "Today is Christmas. It's a time where people find ways to show those around them that they care." Gaia's eyes snap to you for a second when you shrug, unsure that she's even picking up on the sentiment of what you're saying, "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was thinking of you, and I thought some of those things might help." For a few heartbeats longer, she holds your gaze, then pulls the bag closer to herself. Taking another step back, she pulls the bag to herself again, "It's ok, it's yours," You try to explain to her. As if your words are her cue, she finally snatches the bag from the ground and starts back toward the trees, her eyes never leaving yours until she reaches the treeline. After Gaia has vanished from your view, you turn and start to wander back toward the mansion, the cold winter air becoming obvious as you step back into the warmth of the mansion, //I hope you stay warm,// You think as you cast one final look back at the treeline before closing the door behind yourself. <<else>>The minutes continue to tick forward, with no sign of Gaia. Eventually, you sit the bag down and open it up, pulling a single apple from within before closing the zipper most of the way again. Sitting the apple on top of the bag where it will be easy to see, you call out one more time, "If you're just hiding nearby, know that I hope you're safe and warm. I thought some of this might help you. Merry Christmas Gaia." With a little sigh, you start back toward the mansion, your footsteps leading you inevitably toward the the dining room door. When you step through the door, you pause to look back. Then you squint your eyes when you don't notice the bag duffel bag anymore, //Guess she was just hiding nearby.// The thought puts a small smile on your lips as you close the door behind yourself. <</if>>[[End.|$location]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<set $gaia.affection += 50>><<set $gaia.fear -= 25>><<set $gaia.trust += 25>><<addtime { minute : 22 }>>

"<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>," Eve fidgets uncharacteristically, "I was wondering," She glances over her shoulder as if worried about being watched, then lowers her voice, "Can we decorate the house?" "What do you mean?" You ask, not quite sure what Eve is suggesting. Eve's eyes flicker to the floor and she sighs heavily, I want to decorate the mansion for Christmas. Anna told me not to worry about it, but I found a bunch of Christmas decorations up in the attic a long time ago, and, . . " You Raise a hand, cutting her off in the middle of her sentence. [[That's a great idea.|Christmas Decorations 1a]] [[Don't worry about it.|Christmas Decorations 1b]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

//Decorating the house, or even just a couple of rooms, would be a lot of fun. And I doubt that Anna and Eve have been able to properly celebrate since coming here,// "Show me," You tell her, gesturing for her to lead the way. Eve's eyes widen, a grin threatening to split her face before she pivots on the ball of her foot and nearly runs. You don't even try to keep up with her. Knowing that she's headed for the attic is enough that you figure you'll have little trouble locating her when you arrive. Sure enough, when you enter the attic you can hear Eve rummaging somewhere nearby. You follow the sound, finding Eve moving boxes, some of which have "Christmas" scrawled on the side. "Slow down Eve," You say, seeing that there's a massive amount of Christmas decorations boxed up, "Lets start small, we don't need to decorate everything at once," Your eyes fall on what appears to be three boxed artificial trees, one of which is truly massive, "I'll dig out a Christmas tree, some ornaments, and see if there's any stockings somewhere. You run and find us some help, I think this is going to be more than a two person project." Not even acknowledging what you said, Eve is gone as fast as her feet can carry her, "Anna!" She's yelling even before she's left the attic. You've just finished placing one of the two smaller trees, several boxes of ornaments, and are just trying to navigate the largest of the artificial trees toward the door. "I brought help!" Eve declares as she barges back into the attic. You can hear the sound of additional footsteps entering the attic. <<if $makiVisit>>"Bubbles!" You call the moment you see her, "Can you lend a hand with this big tree? It's too big for just one person to carry. I was thinking we could set it up in the entry hall. Take one end and I'll take the other?" Without a word, Bubbles nods, but instead of grabbing one end, she hefts the whole bundle up onto her shoulder, clearly intending to carry the whole thing by herself. <<if $labBubblesSmile gte 1>>A faint smile tugs at Bubbles' scarred face as she turns and starts toward the attic exit. <<else>>If you weren't watching for it, you'd have missed the slight tightening around Bubbles' eye and eyepatch, indicating her semblance of a smile. Turning, she starts toward the exit, showing little exertion in carrying the heavy box by herself. <</if>>As your eyes fall away from Bubbles, you notice Maki's eyes drifting over the attic, seemingly momentarily torn between curiosity about what secrets might be hidden in the attic, and the infectious excitement around her. <<elseif $yami.hasFlag("contact")>>"Yami!" You call, her raptor gaze pivoting to you, "Mind grabbing one end of the big tree and helping me get it down to the entry hall? I was thinking we can set it up there. "Sure thing Boss," She says, reaching down and grabbing the other end of the box with more ease than you would expect of someone her size. <<elseif $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>"Mitsuko!" The moment you see her you call out her name, "Can I get you to help me with this big box. It's too big for just me. We just need to get it to the entry hall, I think that will be the best place to set it up. She pauses, looking at the box, her expression softening to something just shy of a smile. "I'll take this end," She says, reaching for the box. <<else>>"Carrying the big tree is going to be a group effort," You tell the others, "We're going to have to be careful getting it down the stairs to the entry hall." <</if>>"Here's what I'm thinking," You begin, "The big tree can be set up in the entry hall. I thought I saw some hand knitted stockings in one of the boxes, those can go to the dining room so we can hang them from the fireplace. The rest of what I've sat aside can go to the lounge, I think there's enough space between the pool table and the bar to make that work." "What about the rest of it?" Eve asks, looking past you to the virtual mountain of Christmas decorations you left where they were. "Lets take care of this part for now.

"I think your sister is right, it's not something you should worry yourself about," You tell her. Almost instantly her expression crumbles.

Nearly an hour later, all of the boxes have made it to their intended rooms, and after some deliberation you decide to build the large tree laying down then tip it upright rather than try to assemble it standing up. //Loop a rope around the top, someone braces the tree so it doesn't slide and someone can go up to the balcony and pull the tree upright.// Sighing inwardly, you silently hope you haven't made a miscalculation. <<if $makiVisit>>"You ready?"

"Go a head then, slow and easy. We don't want to overcompensate and crush anyone," You say the words in jest, but looking up at the towering tree, you realize that it falling on you could very well leave you hurt. You feel yourself slide ever so slightly as Bubbles begins to pull the rope, one end in each hand while the middle is looped around the top of the tree. Then one second to the next, you're no longer sliding, and instead the tree is starting to rise, rapidly at first, then slowing as it rises higher. The tree stand makes a soft clinking sound as it settles on the marble floor. For another hour, the entry hall is a hive of activity. Anna moves around the tree placing ornaments, the whole time there's this look on her face that's hard to identify. There's a sort of joy there, but at the same time a sadness in her eyes as well. Bubbles reaches high, placing items higher than anyone else is able to reach, then as she finishes her circuit of the tree, she snatches Eve up without warning. Eve lets out a little squeal of surprise that becomes one of delight as Bubbles holds her high enough to reach the parts of the tree that even she can't reach. <<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>With one hand, you can see Misaki touching the branches, finding places that are empty and hanging ornaments in those spots. You resist the urge to laugh as you see Anna approach the other woman, look at the tightly grouped ornaments, then carefully removes about half of them without saying a word. Anna is already hanging the ornaments in new locations when Misaki reaches out again, a frown forming as her brow creases with concern, "I could have sworn I hung one about there?"

Grinning to herself, she looks at the ornament, then sees you watching. She scowls, but the look somehow looks sheepish on her face. Then pointedly turning back toward the tree, she takes a few steps around the tree so that you can no longer see her before attempting her earlier feat again. <</if>><<if $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>Mitsuko in contrast picks up a single ornament at a time, pausing each time to look at the tree before stepping up to hang it.

The whole while he talks excitedly to no one in particular. <</if>><<elseif $yami.hasFlag("contact")>>"You ready?" You call up to Yami while you sit on the floor, feet braced against the tree's stand to prevent it from sliding when it's pulled upright. <<if $anna.affection gte 650>>At the last moment, Anna sits beside you, a shy sort of smile on her face as she positions herself to help brace the tree's base. <</if>>"You got it Boss," Yami calls back. "Go a head then, slow and easy. We don't want to overcompensate and crush anyone," You say the words in jest, but looking up at the towering tree, you realize that it falling on you could very well leave you hurt. You feel yourself slide ever so slightly as Yami begins to pull the rope a bit too fast, "Easy!" You shout, but to no avail. One end of the rope in each hand while the middle is looped around the top of the tree. Then one second to the next, you're no longer sliding, and instead the tree is starting to rise, rapidly and with growing speed. "Whoa!" You yell at Yami, scrambling to your feet to try to brace the tree and keep it from tipping onto you. For a second, the tree teeters, just short of falling over, then it tips the other way and you're scrambling once more, this time to steady it as it sways back and forth before finally settling in an upright position. "See, easy!" Yami declares from the balcony before releasing one end of the rope and pulling the rope free of the tree with enough force to cause the tree to sway once more. For another hour, the entry hall is a hive of activity. Anna moves around the tree placing ornaments, the whole time there's this look on her face that's hard to identify. There's a sort of joy there, but at the same time a sadness in her eyes as well.

"You don't have to be so careful, just have fun with it!" Eve says to Mitsuko, causing the tall Asian woman to smile. "We just do things a little different where I am from," She says softly, "Instead of decorating trees, it's a day to spend with loved ones and of romance for couples." Eve looks thoughtful, "How is this any different? We're coming together right now to share this experience as a family. And on Christmas day, we come together to celebrate the important people in our lives." Mitsuko regards Eve for a second, then smiles, "You have an old soul."

She nods, gripping her rope a little tighter. "Nice and easy then", You say, starting to pull on the other end of the rope in your hands. With the rope looped around the tree, you feel the rope grow taut in your hands. "Whee!" Eve calls as the tree starts to move, causing her to slide across the floor a few inches before her slide stops and the tree starts to pull upright. Slowly, careful not to overcompensate, you and Mitsuko continue to pull the rope until the tree teeters, then settles in the upright position. <<else>>Holding both ends of the rope, you strain, putting your back into it as you try to pull the tree upright.

Noticing that the tree is almost done, you realize that Eve <<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>>and Rey have<<else>> has<</if>> gone missing. The sound of laughter from the dining room leaves little doubt to where you should look. <<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned") or $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned") or $yami.hasFlag("contact") or $rey.hasFlag("owned") or $makiVisit>>"I'll catch up in a moment," You tell the others, "I'll meet you in the lounge." <<else>>"I'm going to duck into the dining room real quick," You tell Anna, "I'll catch up with you in a moment." <</if>>A moment later you step into the dining room. <<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>>Rey skids to a halt in front of you, eyes wide and holding a stocking in each hand. The first hints of a sheepish grin starts to form as you meet his eyes. <</if>>Eve on the other hand is just leaning over the fireplace, preparing to hang a second stocking next to the first one already hanging there, "Can you believe it! I never noticed it before!" "Noticed what?" You ask, stepping closer. "There's little hooks right above the fireplace! I think they might have been used for stockings before!" Eve declares with a sense of wonder. When you look where Eve is reaching, you can see the small hook, and once you know what you are looking for you notice more, //She's right.// "Can we decorate the table too?" Eve asks, stepping back from where the second stocking is now hanging. "Sure," You reply with a little smile, then you step back before continuing, "I'll be heading to the lounge to help there. You finish up here and I'll see you there in a little bit." [[Next.|Christmas Decorations 1e]] Generously Sponsored by Matty <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

When you enter the lounge, you find Anna in the early stages of trying to set up the Christmas tree<<if $yami.hasFlag("contact")>>, Yami right there with her trying to help<</if>>. <<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>You can see Misaki sitting not far away from everyone, clearly wanting to help, but uncertain of how to do so. <</if>><<if $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>Mitsuko is sitting on the floor, a large box of ornaments open before her while she rummages through it in search of something, though you have no idea what. <</if>><<if $makiVisit>>Maki crosses the room, a sparkle in her eyes and a tangled mass of Christmas lights in her hands. <<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>She plops down right in fron of Misaki, "Help me untangle these lights?" You can see the first hint of a smile forming on Misaki's face before turning back toward the tree.<<else>>She plops down on the couch and begins to untangle the mass, her attention half on everything happening around her.<</if>> When your eyes fall on the tree, you see Bubbles putting the top segment on the tree, //Wow, that went together quickly <</if>><<if $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>"I have an idea!" Mitsuko says, her eyes lighting up as she ways the words. However, whatever she is thinking, she doesn't bother to explain herself before rushing from the room. The tree is set up and the decorations are nearly complete by the time that Eve<<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>> and Rey have returned<<else>> has returned<</if>>. You're just lifting Eve up to put the star on the top of the tree when Mitsuko returns. In her hands several spools of string and a huge bowl of popcorn. <<if $makiVisit>>As the smell of popcorn wafts into the room, you see Bubbles' head turn slowly toward the source. Gently, she sits Eve down and takes a step toward the bowl. At the same moment, Eve's eyes lock on the bowl, a grin forming on her lips as she begins to circle to the side. Bubbles reaches out, her hands nearly reaching the bowl when Mitsuko lashes out, her hand slapping the larger woman's hand, "This isn't for eating." Mitsuko declares. With a furrowing of her brow, Bubbles looks skeptically at Mitsuko. "We're going to string it together and hang it on the tree," Mitsuko explains. Eve chooses that moment to strike, seeing Mitsuko's attention fully on the caramel giantess, she reaches out and grabs a double hand full of popcorn before Mitsuko even sees her move. Mitsuko cries out in surprise, trying to chastize Eve while the little woman bounds away with a giggle. Eve manages to stay one step ahead of Mitsuko as the tall Asian woman gives chase, finally ducking behind Bubbles. With a frustrated sound, Mitsuko throws her hands up and gives up the chase. As soon as Eve thinks it's safe, she steps up to Bubbles' side, "I got some for you too." Holding out her hand, she gives Bubbles a fist full of half crushed popcorn. The way the muscles around her eyes tighten , Bubbles is clearly amused by this development, and while looking straight at Mitsuko, she tosses the popcorn into her mouth. With a little huff, Mitsuko quickly returns her attention to her project, the little escapade quickly forgotten in the excitement of her little project.<<else>>"Popcorn!" Eve declares the instant the smell reaches her. "It's not for eating!" Mitsuko quickly says. Eve doesn't seem to even acknowledge Mitsuko, instead she bounds to the bowl and snatches about half a hand full before Mitsuko is able to pull it away. One second to the next, the tide turns, Eve bounding away while Mitsuko springs over the couch with surprising agility to chase after the small woman. Eve barely makes it half way across the room before Mitsuko snatches her up around the middle. "You can't have it back!" Eve yells, thrusting her hand toward her mouth. Mitsuko quickly intercepts her hand by catching Eve's wrist. Seeing that she's loosing the battle, Eve gets a wild look in her eyes and with a loud 'Ptoot!' She spits at her hand. Shocked, Mitsuko drops Eve, "That was //not// very lady like!" Maniacle laughter bubbles forth from Eve as she stuffs her mouth with popcurn. "Go wash your hands when you're done," Mitsuko finally says.<</if>> Turning her attention back to her little project, Mitsuko explains what she's planning to do. <<if $makiVisit>>Bubbles sits, her large hands making the task of stringing pieces of popcorn on the string look awkward. <</if>>.<<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>Misaki seems to string the popcorn through touch alone, proving to be surprisingly adept at the task. <</if>>When Eve enters the room again, she gravitates toward the smell of popcorn again. This time, she only steals a single piece as she sits down to help. Mitsuko smiles warmly, "Back home, I used to string cherry blossoms on a string like this with my," Her smile falters, a moment of sadness ghosting over her features before she can recover, "I used to string cherry blossoms on special occasions." <<else>><<if $yami.hasFlag("contact")>>Yami rummages through the decorations boxes, seeming to look for something specific, though you have no idea what it might be. <</if>><<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>Just like with the large tree, Misaki seems content to hand her ornaments one at a time, somehow managing to cluster them all together. <</if>><<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>>Rey bounds about the tree, stringing stencil wherever they can reach, seemingly without a care in the world. <</if>><<if $makiVisit>>Maki and Bubbles both stand back, a whimsical look on Maki's face while Bubbles stands close by her side. <</if>><</if>>Stepping up beside Anna at the tree, you help her hang ornaments for a little while, Anna casting you little smiles<<if $makiVisit>> while Maki occasionally bumps hips her hip against yours playfully from the other side.<</if>>. You're just stepping back from the tree to admire all the work put into decorating when Eve squeezes herself between Anna and yourself. Grinning ear to ear, she beams at the tree, "Best Christmas ever." Inevitably, the moment passes and everyone starts to clean up, putting unused decorations back in the boxes and putting things away. It's not long before you find yourself standing alone in the lounge as the sounds of conversation, dominated by Eve's excited tone, can be heard retreating down the hallway.

Montage of decorating, work all current characters into the work even if it's just in passing. Write Belle diary. Detail the mansion fully decorated. Possibly another diary entry from a couple of hears later when Uncle is too busy in the lab to help her set everything up and she lacks the ability to do it herself.

When you enter the dining hall, you are greeted by the soft crackling of the fireplace and a faint glow coming from the low burning fire. The mansion has a faint chill in the evenings at this time of year, so you instinctively walk toward the fire in the interest of enjoying its heat for a few moments. You're almost there when you see Eve curled up on the floor beside the fire. Her head turns toward you and you can see her eyes wide, //What's she doing?// The flickering firelight reflecting off of her eyes. "What are you doing up this time of night? And in here or all places?" You ask, genuinely curious. Eve takes a deep breath before sitting up. She seems thoughtful for a few seconds, and from past experience with her it's easy to assume she's gathering her thoughts to say something surprisingly profound. "Anna and me were talking about Christmas," She begins. //That's right, Christmas is tomorrow,// You think, a bit surprised that the time has passed so quickly in the mansion. "Since you came, I get to watch more tv than I used to, and we don't have to be so secret about it. For the last couple of weeks we've been seeing a lot of shows about Christmas," Her eyes turn toward the fire for a second, then she reaches out, taking hold of your hand and gently tugging until you sit down beside her. She half crawls into your lap, with her face against your chest. You hear a content sound from her before she starts to talk again, "I asked Anna why the kids in the movies always got presents from Santa and we never got anything," She looks up at you, her eyes wide and just a little bit sad, "She said that sometimes, when there are bad people around, Santa is scared to come. So Santa would always overlook us because of our former master." She's quiet for a few seconds. You want to say something, but you realize that you're completely out of your depth and simply have no idea of what to say in that moment, "I asked her if that meant he would come this year. She said that it's possible, but more likely Santa is still scared of our home and won't come because he doesn't know things are better here yet. I tried to tell her that Santa knows everything, so he'd know how nice you are and he'd come." Pulling herself the rest of the way into your lap, she rests her head against your shoulder, "Santa comes down chimneys, and this is my favorite one in the mansion, so I was hoping he'd come down this one so I could meet him. I was going to tell him that we didn't need anything, because this year we found happiness, and no present could ever compare to that." You feel your chest grow tight, //I swear, this girl knows how to choke me up,// strong emotions coursing through you to make you both happy and sad at the same time. With your arms around her, you give her a firm hug. [[I know Santa is coming.|Christmas Interactive Scene 1a]] [[You know, Santa isn't real.|Christmas Interactive Scene 1b]] [[Stop being childish, go to bed.|Christmas Interactive Scene 1c]]<<addtime { minute : 8}>>

"Well, I know for a fact that Santa is coming, because he's already been here," Eve's eyes shoot wide, her body jerking like a jolt of electricity went through it. "Really?" Her tone is full of an even mix of wonder and disbelief. "Yep, he came through the ballroom chimney since you were in here. He told me to say a few things to you, First, that you should never try to catch Santa, no matter how good your intentions are. He has a lot of stops to make, and if he stopped to say hello to every little boy and girl, then he wouldn't have time to deliver all the presents. Second, he said that you are a truly a special girl, and while he didn't bring anything for this house, he asked me to make sure you had a good Christmas all the same. Sometimes he needs a bit of time to plan for gifts, and this year he didn't know we needed any until he was passing overhead. I think he felt really bad about it. And third, he thought about stopping to meet you, but you made a very common mistake." Eve looks at you, "What did I do wrong?" Her words are a breathless whisper. You gesture at the fire place, "The fire, Santa prefers the fire places unlit so he doesn't burn himself or the gifts he brings." There's a soft giggle from Eve. "Since Santa has already come and gone, I think you can head back to bed." Eve sighs, but doesn't put up a fuss, "Ok, good night," She half gets up before throwing her arms around you and kissing you on the corner of your mouth, "Thank you, you always know what to say to make me feel happy." Extracting herself from your arms, she twirls, almost dancing toward the room's exit. She's almost at the door when she stops and looks back at you, "In some of the movies, they say Santa isn't real. I don't know if that's the truth or not, you might just be pulling my leg about having seen him a little while ago, but real or not, anyone who can inspire so much happiness and excitement can't be a bad thing." Not waiting for your reply, she slips out of the dining room, presumably heading to the warmth of bed for a good night's sleep. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5}>>

"You know, Santa isn't real right?" You ask softly. Eve sighs heavily in your arms, seeming to deflate slightly, "I suspected as much, but it's still fun to dream. I used to dream that our last master would go away and someone nice would come to replace him. Some dreams come true," She snuggles just a little closer to you, "But I think that even if Santa isn't real, he's still a good thing. Maybe what's real and not real isn't all that important if it makes people happy. Maybe there's a little magic in believing, even if it's not real." "Perhaps you're right," You reply, not sure what else to say in the face of such logic. Eventually you think to add, "It's late, you should probably head back to bed," You say, stifling a yawn as you do so. Eve sighs, but doesn't put up a fuss, "Ok, good night," She half gets up before throwing her arms around you and kissing you on the corner of your mouth, "Next time, when I talk about something that isn't real, like Santa, lie to me," She smirks, "Besides, kids don't like having their dreams crushed." "But you aren't really a kid now are you?" You retort. Eve's eyes narrow, her smirk fading to a deadpan expression, "Sometimes you're too smart." You barely bite back a laugh, "And sometimes you over play the 'kid' card." There's a long pause before she speaks again, "Well played <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>." Extracting herself from your arms, she starts toward the room's exit. She's almost at the door when she stops and looks back at you, "Good night," Her tone is a little sad, matching the expression on her face. Not waiting for your reply, she slips out of the dining room, presumably heading to the warmth of bed for a good night's sleep. "Good night," You reply to the place she just vacated. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 6}>>

"Santa isn't real, and you should be in bed," Your words are tired and mildly annoyed. Eve opens her mouth to reply, then closes it. You can see her eyes becoming moist with unshed tears. "Christmas is a holiday, made up as an excuse to spend time with family and waste money on things most people don't even want," As you say the words, you think of all the times you received Christmas presents that you didn't really want, "We'll do something nice as a family tomorrow, but right now you need to get your little ass to bed." She slips from your lap, a pout on her lip as she starts for the door, "Good night," She mutters softly as she walks. "Good night Eve," You reply, watching her go.

"I,-" Anna starts, trailing off as she glances at the place between her feet, "Nevermind me, it's nothing." "No," You reach out, cupping her chin in your palm and raising her gaze to your own. You can see in her eyes that she has something on her mind, but is clearly hesitant to speak of it, "You don't have to be scared to speak your mind. What are you thinking?" Anna hesitates, then nods before speaking, "Would," She meets your eyes but is unable to hold your gaze, "Would it be ok if I asked a small favor?" "Sure, what do you need?" You ask without a second thought. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I was wondering if I could give my sister something for Christmas this year?" There is authentic worry in her voice as she asks. "I don't see why not, what did you have in mind?" You ask, realizing that you still need to do your own Christmas shopping. "I,-" She seems at a loss, uncertain as to what to say. "How about this, maybe we can go into town tomorrow, look around a bit for something?" Anna goes suddenly still, her eyes wide. The silence begins to stretch into long seconds. "What?" You ask, wondering what you might have said to upset her. "You," She beings carefully, "Want to take //me// into town?" "Unless you don't want to?" You venture, caught off guard by her sudden unease. Anna opens her mouth as if to say something, closes it, then opens it again, "I would be honored to accompany you," She finally says, her tone so soft you have to strain to hear all the words. //Now that I think about it, I don't think she's left the estate since I came here,// "Anna?" Your concerned tone draws her eyes to yours, "When's the last time you left the estate?" As soon as the words leave your mouth, you wonder if they were a mistake. She looks at you, her eyes wide with worry. Her body is clearly tense and it's like she is unable to speak. "Have you left the estate since you first came here?" You eventually force yourself to ask. //It never occurred to me that she's been locked away on these grounds for years now.// Slowly, she shakes her head. Her reaction gives you pause. You aren't quite sure what to say. Anna saves you from the need to reply however when she speaks, "I should get back to my chores. I will be looking forward to our trip tomorrow." As she turns to leave, you notice a hesitant smile on her lips. //Guess I make a trip into town tomorrow.// [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 8}>><<set $ChristmasTripStart to true>>

All along the street, you can see giant wreaths and plastic candy canes as large as a person hanging from street lights and storefronts. Every traffic light and wire running above the street appears to be encased in garland and ornaments. You can feel the Christmas season in the air and you have to wonder how many of the people walking along the sidewalks carrying bags are going to be wrapping Christmas gifts when they get home.

This part of town lacks the large decorations and festive feel of most of Pendleton, but you can still see an occasional string of Christmas lights or small decorations illuminating windows.

From storefronts with speakers hidden cleverly among Christmas decorations or under canopies, Christmas songs fill the air. No two speakers are playing the same song at the same time, but oddly enough, rather than becoming noise, it simply makes it feel a little bit more like the Christmas season.

You can see a small group of people, no more than a dozen in total, all bundled in warm clothes and wearing mittens. Most are wearing reds and greens, though a few are simply wearing nice looking jackets instead. What holds the group together however are the couple of people at the front who are holding up books that everyone gathered behind them can see. In near perfect harmony, the group sings their Christmas song to anyone who cares to listen. //Christmas carolers. Sounds like they've done a lot of practicing, they sound really good.//

You see several utility vehicles, each with a basket a man can stand in, along the street. The people in the baskets, being held high in the air are busy attaching oversized wreaths and plastic candy canes from light poles, or wrapping long strings of garland around cables that stretch across the street. //It's barely December, and people are already busy decorating for Christmas.//

Standing on a corner is a man dressed in a full Santa costume. As you watch, he smiles and waves at passerby while ringing a brass bell in his other hand. In front of him is a small bucket with the name of a local charity that occasional people toss coins into.

Anna approaches you in the hallway. The first thing you notice is a sort of nervous energy about her that seems out of place compared to her usual reserved manner. "You seem excited about something," You comment as she draws near. "We were," She fidgets, her eyes flickering to the floor at her feet before forcing herself to just barely meet your gaze. You see her swallow before actually speaking, "We were going in to town today?" Then as a quick afterthought she adds, "Together?" [[Go into town with Anna.|First Christmas visit to town 1a]] [[You've changed your mind.|First Christmas visit to town 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

"Sure thing," You reply pleasantly. The moment you reply, a look of relief crosses Anna's features. //Did she think I was going to change my mind?// "If you can go let Eve know we're going to be out for a while, I'll go pull the car around and meet you at the front door." Anna nods quickly, then hurries off at a brisk walk. You watch her go for a moment, wondering how anyone can move so quickly while still looking so perfectly in control. Shaking your head with a little smile, you turn and head toward the front door. Out the front door, you make your way to the garage where you prepare to get into your old car, but when your eyes fall on one of your Great Uncle's cars, an expensive looking black import, you head for that one instead. Once inside of the vehicle, the engine purrs to life with barely a turn of the key. For a second, you enjoy the feel of the soft leather seats conforming to your body, then you put the car in reverse and back carefully out of the parking stall. By the time you pull the car around to the front of the house, Anna is already waiting for you on the front door step. Even though she is standing still, she seems to have a barely contained energy about her. //I'm used to seeing that kind of energy from Eve, but never Anna. She must be really excited. Putting the car in park, Anna looks at you expectantly, her eyes darting between the front and back doors of the car. Hesitantly, she reaches for the front door, opening it then looking at you, "Would it be best if I sat in the front or the back?" She asks. "Wherever you like," You reply. Anna hesitates, then slips into the front seat. She glances at you, then clumsily buckles herself in. She even has to look at the buckle to properly line it up. When she is done, she glances at you, a blush touching her cheeks as she realizes you had been watching her. Saving her some embarrassment, you ask, "You have any ideas for where to start?" "Not really," Anna admits. "Ok, we'll just see where we end up then," Putting the car back in drive, you start down the long driveway.

You take a deep breath and let it out as a heavy sigh. You can see in her eyes that she knows what you're going to say even before you open your mouth, "About that. I've changed my mind. Go ahead and make something for your sister, but I've got more important things to do than bus you around town so I can buy gifts for your sister." Anna's eyes take on a haunted expression, a slight tremor going through her body. When she speaks, her voice is soft and guarded, "I understand." //This has really upset her. How she's acting right now makes me think of how she acted the first time I met her.// You muse. With a dismissive gesture, you indicate that you're done talking with her. You think you can see tears in her eyes as she turns and walks away. [[End.|$location]]<<set $anna.affection -= 25>><<set $anna.fear += 25>><<set $anna.trust -= 50>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

When you pull into town, the streetlights are decorated with wreaths and giant ornaments. Lights hang from storefronts, and windows are decorated with cartoonish renditions of Santa, reindeer, and elves, all punctuated with snowflakes and candy canes. You glance over at Anna. Her eyes are wide, her expression reminding you of Eve in the way she takes in everything with a sense of child like wonder. "There are a couple of stores down main street that I thought might make a good place to start. We'll find a place to park, then we can walk around a little bit. If you see anything you want to stop and look at, just let me know," You say, seeing a car not far ahead pulling away from the curb. "Ok," Anna says softly, only seeming to half listen to you. You say a silent prayer that the two cars in front of you don't take the spot before you can get there. //Nice,// You think happily when neither vehicle takes the spot and you slip your car into it. After getting out of the car, you walk around to Anna's side and open the door for her. You see that her buckle is already off, but she makes no movement to get out of the car. Instead, she looks at the curb with a little fear in her eyes. Stepping closer, you lean in toward her. Her eyes move from the curb to meet your eyes, "You ok?" You ask. She opens her mouth like she's going to say something, then closes it again. You can see in her expression that she's considering her next words carefully. "I," Her eyes lock on your own, "I thought I would never leave the mansion again, that I'd be there forever," Her voice becomes very soft, "That I would die there," The smile that touches her lips is nervous, "Sometimes I still worry that this is all a dream." You hold out your hand for her to take, "It's not a dream, but even if it were, my advice would be the same," You pause, letting the anticipation set in for a moment before you continue, "Enjoy it for what it is." Anna nods, then reaches out to take your hand. You help her out of the car and close the door behind her. It takes you a moment to realize that she's holding on to your arm and seems to have no intention of letting go. [[Let her hold your arm.|First Christmas visit to town 1d]] [[Gently pull free from her grip.|First Christmas visit to town 1e]]<<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 12 }>>

"I'm right here with you," You say, not having the heart to ask her to ease up on her vice like grip on your arm, "See the toy store there? Little Minions? I thought we could start there, look around and see if anything catches our eye?" "Ok," Anna replies in a soft voice. Her body presses against your side, far too close to walk comfortably. //Being out in public has her pretty rattled,// "You know, we don't have to do this if you don't want to?" "I want to," Anna says almost too quickly, "I really want to," She adds very softly. You pat her hand affectionately, then start to walk. The two of you take your time, avoiding groups of people as you are able. Anna seems to want to look everywhere at once. All around you there are Christmas decorations, music playing from speakers mounted near storefronts, and the smell of holiday treats filling the air. Occasionally Anna slows, her attention on something in a window, or on some decoration that she sees. Whenever that happens you slow to a stop, giving her a moment to look at whatever caught her attention before continuing on. It's not long before you reach the toy store. You hold the door open and allow her to enter before you. In doing so, she finally releases your arm and your fingers tingle as the blood rushes back to them.

"Shall we?" You ask, using the arm she's holding to gesture toward the toy store just a little ways down the street, a sign reading 'Little Minions' displayed in bright letters over the door, "I thought that might be a good place to start, see if anything catches your eye?" "Ok," Anna replies in a soft voice. Her body presses against your side, far too close to walk comfortably. //Being out in public has her pretty rattled,// "You know, we don't have to do this if you don't want to?" As you speak, you take a quarter step away from her, ensuring that you have enough room that you're not likely to trip over one another. "I want to," Anna says almost too quickly, "I really want to," She adds very softly. You look at her, seeing her fidgeting with her hands like she doesn't quite know what to do with them. "Alright then," You say, starting to walk. She quickly moves to catch up, walking about a step behind you as if she intends to hide behind you. The two of you take your time, avoiding groups of people as you are able. Anna seems to want to look everywhere at once. All around you there are Christmas decorations, music playing from speakers mounted near storefronts, and the smell of holiday treats filling the air. Occasionally Anna slows, her attention on something in a window, or on some decoration that she sees. Whenever that happens you slow to a stop, giving her a moment to look at whatever caught her attention before continuing on. It's not long before you reach the toy store. You hold the door open and allow her to enter before you. She stops just inside the door, taking a deep breath as she looks at her surroundings.. [[Continue.|First Christmas visit to town 1f]]<<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 5>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

The toy store door closes behind you with a little chiming sound. Anna however is completely oblivious to anything except the sight before her. You take a step so you're at her side and look at her. Her eyes are just a little too wide as she looks around, her breath rapid as she looks around at the store. Thousands of toys to choose from, and dozens of people seeking to purchase them. Anna's hand brushes yours and quickly clasps it, holding it like it's a lifeline as she visibly trembles, "It's alright. They're just here looking for presents, just like us." There are tears in her eyes, //Did I say something wrong?// The first of which is just starting to fall, tracing a path from the corner of her eye down the side of her nose. "I-I don't want to wake up," Anna says softly, clearly to herself. She looks at you suddenly, "This can't be real." Reaching out, you brush away the tear before it can reach her lips, "I don't know what to say," You admit, a quick look at your surroundings reveals that no one has taken any notice of Anna's little breakdown just yet, "Anna, if this was a dream, what would you want to do?" "I'd," She pauses, "I'd find the perfect gift for Eve and she'd have the best Christmas ever." "Then that's what we're going to do, we've going to find her the perfect gift and give her the best Christmas she's ever had," You make sure she's looking you in the eyes before continuing, "But in order to do that, we can't just stand here in the doorway." Anna nods slowly, stops, then nods quickly, "Ok. Let's find Eve something nice," You can see a sort of grim determination settle on to her features. "Good, let's see what we can find," You reply, then add, "And I'm right here, ok?" [[Continue.|First Christmas visit to town 1g]]<<set $anna.affection += 3>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>><<set $anna.trust += 2>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $eveChrGift to true>>

Anna never completely relaxes, but after her initial panic attack in the store's entryway, she seems to hold her composure much better. After a while, you can tell that Anna is looking at a large stuffed bear, larger even than Eve, "Is that something you think she would like?" "Yes," Anna says, "No," She corrects herself, "I don't know." You can see a growing panic threatening to overwhelm her again, "Ok, we can get that, I know she'll love it," Then you hastily add, "Do you think she'd enjoy something like that too?" You point toward the toy guns a ways down the same aisle, the ones with suction cup darts that it can shoot. For the first time since entering the store, you see Anna smile and almost laugh. //Guess that answers that.// "We'll get one of those for her too," You say with a smirk. When the two of you reach that part of the aisle, you pick up two of the big gun kits, the ones with a hundred extra darts and an assortment of three different guns in the package. Then you grab a five hundred pack of extra suction cup darts, "Because you can never have too much ammo," You joke at Anna. "Two of them?" Anna asks uncertainly while looking at the two sets of guns you are holding. "I have to be able to defend myself. If she starts shooting, I want to be able to shoot back," You say, matter-of-fact. A wistful smile tugs at her lips as she rolls her eyes. The smile is short lived however as the two of you reach the end of the aisle and are once again surrounded by people. Anna clutches the massive teddy bear to her chest and stays as close to you as she is able.

After a long wait in line to pay for the items you had picked out for Eve, the two of you exit the store and start walking back toward the car to drop off the items. You're about half way to the car when you see Anna glance toward the book store across the street. //Maybe she'd like to look at the book store?// [[Ask her if she'd like to check out the book store.|First Christmas visit to town 1i]] [[We got what we came for, time to head home.|First Christmas visit to town 1j]]<<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

Once at the car, you stuff everything in the back seat then turn to Anna, "Saw you looking at the book store across the street, would you like to go look?" "I," Anna looks toward the store, then at you, "I've already been too much trouble," Her eyes flicker downward self consciously. "Let's go take a look," You say, reaching out to take her hand. You can tell that's what she wanted from the way her eyes light up and her inability to suppress the smile that blossoms on her face. The inside of the bookstore is largely free of the bustling crowds outside. There are only a couple of people walking the aaisles, and an older lady wearing glasses behind the counter at the front of the store. When the two of you enter, the older woman looks up, nodding in greeting, then returns to the book she had been reading, "If you're looking for something specific, feel free to ask," She mumbles. Anna's eyes drift over the interior with an expression that would look more at place on Eve's face. Eyes slightly too wide and a faint smile on her lips. Without a single word she begins to walk deeper into the store as if drawn by a siren's call. You watch her go for a moment, then realizing you're unlikely to be missed immediately you turn to the woman behind the counter, "You don't have some kind of e-book reader do you? Something you can put a whole bunch of books on?" The lady glances up from her book, "That way," He says, looking meaningfully toward one corner of the store. You turn, trying to follow the woman's gaze, then see where she was indicating. Looking toward Anna, you see her half way down an aisle, her hand outstretched as she touches the bindings of the books she passes. You quickly move to the cabinet and browse the options. It takes you a couple of minutes to figure out exactly what you're looking at, but you quickly realize that one of them is preloaded with a virtual library of books, and the price isn't too bad. You pick it up, glancing toward where Anna is to make sure she's still distracted, then return to the counter. The woman grimaces, then sits down her book. She takes the e-book reader from you and looks at it, "This will be all?" "Yeah, and if I can get it in a bag so she doesn't see it, that would be great," You reply. The woman sits the rest of the way up, pushing a few buttons on the register, then after paying for the total she hands you back the item in a brown paper bag, stuffing the receipt into the bag as an afterthought. "Thank you, come again," The woman says, already picking her book back up. You're just turning toward the rest of the store when you see Anna walking back your direction, "This place is amazing," She says, "I think it has almost as many books as you have at home," There's an excited tone to her voice. Her comments seem to pique the older woman's interest. You can see her eyebrows rise and she seems to regard you with more interest than before. Anna glances at the bag in your hand, her expression curious even though she doesn't ask about it. "We can look around longer if you'd like?" You offer. "No, it's ok," She replies. You aren't sure if she's just not wanting to impose, or if she's just done looking for the moment. Either way, you simply nod and exit the store with her.

"I suppose we should head home. Don't want your sister to worry about you," You say. Anna nods, walking close to you as the two of you make your way back to the car. Once there, you double check that everything is secure in the car, then climb in. This time, Anna has less trouble with the seat belt than she had at the mansion and it's only moments before you're pulling away from the curb. You take the long way around town, letting Anna see the lights and decorations that you pass. Anna sits in her seat, her hands clasped in her lap as she tries to take in everything at once. Her features are relaxed in a way that you don't often see. //She's enjoying the moment,// You realize, //I should stay quiet and not ruin it for her.// As you drive, you watch her from the corner of your eye. //Earlier, she nearly fell apart in the toy store, and now she looks like the embodiment of serenity.// The moment passes as you are leaving town. As you leave the lights behind, Anna's expression slowly takes on its usual guarded quality. She lets out a heavy sigh, and just like that she's her old self again. Happy, but scarred by old emotional wounds that may never fully heal. Before you can think of anything to say, Anna speaks, "Thank you," There's a long pause while she seems at a loss for what to add before she finishes, "I'm sorry about earlier, this trip was wonderful, and a little overwhelming at times. I am glad that you brought me with you." //A little overwhelming?// You keep your thoughts to yourself, "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Anna looking at you. She raises one hand like she's going to reach out and touch you but then puts it back in her lap without doing so. You can see a faint smile on her lips as she turns her attention to the view outside the car. When you pull up in front of the house, you can see a curtain move from one of the second story windows, "Eve just spotted us, I'll let you out at the door so you can distract her while I take care of the gifts so she doesn't see what we got." [[End.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection += 5>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 5>><<addtime { minute : 23 }>>

Outside of the book store, you walk beside Anna in the general direction of the car. You see Anna take a deep breath as the smell of freshly cooked food washes over the both of you from the restaurant you are passing. //Maybe we should have lunch before heading home?// [[Stop for lunch.|First Christmas visit to town 1l]] [[Lets head home.|First Christmas visit to town 1j]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

"Would you like to grab a bite to eat before heading home?" You ask, gesturing at the restaurant. Anna's widen in surprise, "I," She looks from the restaurant to you, then back again. You can see in her eyes that she's excited by the prospect of eating out, "I could never impose upon you in such a way," "You're not imposing, it would be my pleasure. After all, it's not often I get to take a pretty girl out to lunch." Anna gapes at you in surprise at your words, her cheeks flushing crimson. When she makes no action to move, you take her hand and start toward the door. She offers no resistance. Once inside, a waitress seats you and leaves a pair of menus to look over. You open your menu and start to look at your options. Across from you Anna does the same, only her eyes wide and uncertain, "What should I order?" She asks you. "Whatever you like," You reply. Her brow creases as she looks to the menu again. A short while later, the waitress returns and takes your order. You can't help but notice that Anna chose one of the cheapest items on the menu, but you don't make an issue of it. The meal is pleasant, you and Anna talking casually, though Anna doesn't seem entirely comfortable being in public like this. When the meal is complete you pay the bill and leave the restaurant.

Somewhere in the far distance, you hear a deep boom. You pause, unsure of what you're hearing at first. Then there's a second boom, followed by a third a few seconds later. Looking around, you try to find the source of the sound, but it's not until you see a burst of colors that you realize what's happening, //Someone's celebrating the holiday with fireworks.//

You look to Anna and motion your head toward the trail, she takes a quick glance at the eerie forest. Hesitantly she nods, you guide her to the entrance. A woman wearing a mask and safety vest comes up to you. "Looking to brave the forest of a thousand hauntings with the missus?" She asks, grinning behind the skeleton mask. "We are." You respond. //The Forest of a Thousand Hauntings.// You can't help but mentally chuckle at the name. The volunteer nods and hands you a map before advising you to stay on the trail so you won't get lost. As your walking away, she yells out. "Good luck!" Her voice fading away as you delve deeper into the dark woods. <<link "Enter the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Continue enjoying the festival.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<set $anna.affection -= 2>><<set $anna.trust -= 2>><<set $anna.fear += 5>>

You make your way to the entrance to the haunted trail, passing by a group of teens loitering around. Anna suddenly grabs hold of your arm, slowing you down. "Come on, it'll be fine." You urge her forward and before long she gives in. Letting you guide her to the entrance. A woman wearing a skeleton mask and bright safety vest steps out in front of you. "Planning to brave the forest of a thousand hauntings with the missus?" She asks, grinning under her mask. "Yup, we're seeing how courageous we are." You respond, drawing a chuckle from the woman. She holds out a map, you take it while shooting her a curious look. "It's to prevent people from getting lost." She explains, pointing to the trail and motioning for you to continue. With a nod, you and Anna start walking toward the eerie forest. The volunteer yells out to you. "Good luck!" her voice fading as you delve deeper into the dimly lit woods. Anna's fingers digging into your skin as she presses her body against yours. <<link "Enter the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Continue enjoying the festival.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<set $anna.affection -= 2>><<set $anna.trust -= 2>><<set $anna.fear += 5>>

With a sigh, you nod, letting the excited Eve drag you over to the entrance to the woods. A scream can be heard in the distance as you approach, a woman wearing a safety vest and skeleton mask steps in front of you. "Taking your daughter to brave the forest of a thousand hauntings?" She asks, grinning through her mask. "Yeah, she said she was brave enough for it. So we'll find out." You respond, the woman can't help but giggle. She pulls a piece of paper out, handing it to you. "It's a map, so no one gets lost out there." She explains as you unfold the piece of paper, on it is a rough outline of the forest and a few of the many props they've set up to scare people. You nod, thanking her. "Good luck!" The volunteer calls out, her voice fading away as you enter the forest. <<link "Enter the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Continue enjoying the festival.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<set $eve.affection += 5>><<set $eve.trust += 5>><<set $eve.fear -= 5>>

You look to the trail before looking back to Eve. "Are you sure?" You ask, you're already sure of the answer but decide to check with her. Eve grins, giggling. "Of course I am, it looks like a lot of fun!" Eve exclaims. With a sigh, you nod and grab hold of Eve's hand, leading her over to the entrance. A woman wearing a skeleton mask and safety vest steps out in front of you as you near the start of the haunted forest. She takes one look at Eve, then turns her attention to you. "I see you and your daughter are feeling brave enough to enter the spooky //forest of a thousand hauntings!//" The woman can't help but chuckle at the cheesy name as she greets you. "You could say that." You reply. The volunteer woman nods, taking a piece of paper out, she hands it to you. "It's a map, so that way no one can get lost." The woman explains. With a nod you take the map, placing it in your pocket. With a grin the lady steps away. "Have fun and good luck!" She wishes you good luck before moving on to the next group waiting. Growing impatient, Eve practically drags you along the trail as you pass through the entrance. <<link "Enter the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Continue enjoying the festival.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 3 }>> <<set $eve.affection += 5>><<set $eve.trust += 5>><<set $eve.fear -= 5>>

You decide to walk the haunted trail, walking up to the entrance a woman wearing a skeleton mask and safety vest steps out in front of you. "Braving the haunted trail by yourself?" She asks, you nod. The volunteer shrugs before pulling out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Here, it's a map of the forest. You'll need this in case you get lost." She hands the paper to you, stepping out of the way. You thank the woman before entering the haunted forest trail, "Good luck!" She yells from behind you, her voice fading away as you walk deeper into the woods. <<link "Enter the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Continue enjoying the festival.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

//Looks like it could be fun.// You spend a moment thinking about the trail and decide to walk it. As you come upon the entrance, a woman wearing a skeleton mask and a safety vest stops you. She looks around you. "Going the haunted trail alone I see." The woman says, you nod. "You can tag along if you want." You respond, winking at her. "If I didn't have to stand around here handing out these maps, I might have entertained that offer of yours." She laughs while rolling her eyes, grinning as she pulls out a piece of paper. "Here, it's a map of the forest trail so you don't get lost." The volunteer hands you the paper.

The forest is eerily quiet as the distant voices and laughter fade away, in turn you can hear the sounds of bugs, communicating with one another and the occasional bush moving. A light fog permeates the forest floor, obscuring your view just enough that you can barely make out shapes beyond several feet. Anna grips your arm tightly, pressing her body against yours. The two of you continue walking through the fog. Suddenly you spot the silhouette of something hanging from a tree in the middle of the trail. You move closer to inspect it when you hear a //Eek// from behind. As you spin around, Anna lunges herself at you, wrapping her arms around your body. "What's wrong?" Before you can finish asking Anna what happened, the mist thins out just a little. All around the trees are covered in webs, lining those webs are hundreds of large spiders. You notice one had found its way beside Anna, scaring her as she noticed them herself. //They're fake… I hope.// You think to yourself as you gently rub Anna's hair, whispering to her that she's fine. A moment later she emerges from your chest. "It's a fake, all of them are fake. Just meant to scare the living soul out of people." You reassure her, Anna looks at you and nods. "Shall we continue?" You ask, Anna hesitates to answer but after a moment, she agrees. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You push on with Anna hugging you tightly, a ghostly mist spreading across the forest floor. Shrouding everything beyond a few feet as you continue walking the trail. After walking for a bit, you notice something ominous through the fog. Eerie music begins playing, at first it's impossible to hear, but as you move deeper through the forest it becomes more noticeable. Anna notices it as well, her grip on you tightening, subconsciously your heart starts beating faster and faster as the bone-chilling symphony being played grows louder. Suddenly you can see the outline of a small building, you pull Anna along and upon nearing it, you can see it's a dilapidated shed. The most unnerving part about it is the hanging body parts and bloodied tools littering the floor around it. Seeing this, Anna gasps when a figure jumps out of nowhere, yelling. Anna jumps at the sudden scare, burying her face into your chest. You sigh, your heart missing a beat at the same time. The figure simply laughs before disappearing back into the run down shed. You wait a few minutes before coaxing Anna into loosening her grip. "Come one, let's keep moving." You say, leading Anna as you continue walking the trail. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You and Anna walk along the forest trail, the moonlight occasionally piercing through the clouds. The path is doted with Halloween decorations, you pass by several trees with fake skulls hanging from the branches. A chill runs down your spine as you feel them turn to watch you pass by, a couple of pumpkins are perched on a tree, staring directly at Anna and you. The number of skulls increases, soon your surrounded by them. All hanging from tree branches, suddenly their eyes light up and a cackling can be heard echoing all around. //"Kekeke"//. The sound makes Anna jump, causing her to whimper, you gently pat her shoulder in reassurance. As you continue walking along the trail, you spot a sign, it's faded letters spell out //Land of The Dead//. Anna gasps as a light mist rolls through, covering the forest floor, she points straight ahead. Littering the ground tens of skeleton arms, reaching out as if to trying to grab for their next victim to drag them to the underworld. It takes some maneuvering, but you guide Anna around the arms as she clings to you. The fog thins out further ahead once you make it to the other side, once again you can see the moonlight, a shinning beacon through the darkness of the woods. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

The forest trail is eerily silent as you and Anna walk along the path, this part of the woods devoid of any sort of Halloween props. //Did they forget to include this area?// You wonder, lost in thought, you nearly miss the ghostly sounds being emitted from all around. Anna clings to you as the voices grow louder, almost as if speaking directly to you. Behind you a ghost prop suddenly swings down, making a ghastly noise, spooking Anna. She throws herself against you frightened by the ghost prop. The noise continues for a few minutes longer but fades away as you make it to a bend in the trail. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

After a while of walking, you come upon a small clearing, running along it is a small path leading to the old, decrepit building you saw from the park, a light fog settling in around it. To the right of it sits a cemetery, most of the tomb stones are fake except two. On the left sits a small wooden shack, rotted. From where you stand, you can see a huge bubbling pot of what looks like green goop. //A bit cliché.// You think. What stands out most, is the boarded up windows and the broken door. //It's as if someone axed their way through it.// You imagine someone using an axe to break through the door and using it to trash the place, the thought amuses you. //I wonder what they have set up in there.// You contemplate entering the building but you look at Anna and see how frightened she is. //I don't think Anna could handle that, maybe next time.// You think to yourself. Anna lets out a sigh of relief as you turn to walk away, but something catches your attention and you look back. You catch a glimpse of a faceless figure standing in one of the windows, feminine in nature. You blink and it's gone just as quickly as it appeared. "Is something wrong?" Anna asks in a terrified voice, she follows your gaze but there's nothing there. You shake your head, motioning for her to follow you. Without hesitation, Anna grabs hold of your arm, clinging tightly as you continue walking the trail. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

The forest around you grows quiet as the sounds of the festival fade, you and Eve continue walking along the haunted trail. Before long, the further you go, a light fog steadily overtakes the woods around you. Eve leads you along, unphased by the mist enveloping the woods. Before long it becomes nearly impossible to see beyond a few feet, you loose your grip on Eve's hand as her form disappears into the fog. You lose sight of the tiny redhead, worry setting in when you hear her gasp. Several feet ahead, the white clouds give way to the forest trail and Eve standing still, staring up at the trees. You follow her gaze, the realization hits as you notice the hundreds of giant spiders lining the branches, the brush covered in a layer of fake webbing. "That's creepy, good thing they're fake!" Eve exclaims, giggling. "They really put a lot of effort into this, come on let's see what else they have." Eve excitedly pulls you along as she continues walking the trail, the two of you leaving behind the web covered area. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Eve's pace quickens and you try to keep up with her, your heartbeat increases as the sinister symphony picks up. Eve gasps excitedly as you see the outline of a small building appear through the white clouds, the tiny redhead leading you toward it. After several feet, the fog gives way to a dilapidated shed, around it are hanging body parts and bloodied tools littering the floor. As you're looking the place over, a man in a monster mask and bloodied coveralls jumps out holding a fake chainsaw, he yells while waving the tool in his hands. Eve freezes at the sudden scare, huffing a second later as she pouts. You sigh, your heart missing a beat at the same time the man jumps out. The figure cocks his head, disappointed by your reactions. He disappears back into the run down shed. You wait a few minutes before leaving, "Come one, let's keep moving." You say to Eve, she nods as you continue walking the trail. <<link "Continue walking the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailCore>><</link>> <<link "Exit the trail.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hauntedTrailEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

A thick fog suddenly settles in, obscuring your view. You grab Anna's hand and push forward, moving through the clouds blocking your way until finally you break through and exit the forest. The trail leading back to the park, where the dirt path meets concrete, you can see several groups of teens milling about. Laughing and joking about the haunted trail, several crying children are being consoled by their parents off to the side. With a sigh of relief, you try to move but realize Anna is still clinging to you. "Anna, it's over." You reassure her. Hearing your voice, she hesitantly let's go, looking around. "Is, is it over?" She asks, Anna's voice shaking as she speaks. You nod, and she sighs. You motion to the park. "Come on, let's go unwind from that with a few games."

The main portion of this would be "hauntedTrailCore" and both the array and scenes would be named such. The "end" scenes would end the trail and rout you back to the festival.

"Eve," You call her name to make sure she pays attention, "How about you go put your costume on and we can go trick or treat for a while." Eve's eyes widen with excitement, then in a blur of motion she takes off in search of her costume. You wait patiently in the entry hall, waiting for her return. A couple of minutes later, a little green tentacled monster with a bright pink bow in it's hair comes racing back down the stairs. She doesn't even slow as she approaches you, instead reaching out and grabbing your hand as she continues her headlong rush toward the door. You've nearly reached the door when you see Anna enter the entry hall, a somewhat surprised look on her face. "I'm going to take Eve trick-or-treating, we shouldn't be gone too long," You tell Anna, still being dragged one step at a time toward the door. You can tell from her expression that she's concerned, but offers no protest, "Have fun," Anna says uncertainly. And before you can utter another word, you're past the threshold and heading down the stairs leading up to the front door of the mansion. Ten minutes later, you're driving down the road with a little Cthulhu buckled into the passenger seat. Eve's tentacled head swivels from you to the road, her body nearly vibrating with excitement. You're still a ways outside of the town proper when you see a housing development. Even as you approach, you can see invitingly lit porch lights and Halloween decorations for nearly as far as the eye can see. Slowing the car, you haven't even put the car in park yet when Eve is hurling herself from the vehicle. [[Continue.|Eve Trick Or Treat Start 1a]]<<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

The second the car is in park, you nearly jump out of the car, ready to chase after Eve. Your haste was a waste of effort however. When you look toward the curb, you see Eve standing rigidly just a few paces from the car. Walking around the vehicle, you come to stand beside her, "You ok?" You ask. Her tentacled face turns upward. You can't actually see her eyes, but from her body language you can tell that something is bothering her, "I don't know how." "You don't know how to trick-or-treat?" You ask, hardly believing it. "I've never done it before, or at least if I did, I was too young to remember it," Eve's voice becomes soft toward the end. "I'll be right here if you need me. Just go up to a door, knock, and say 'trick-or-treat.' Nothing more to it than that," You encourage her, giving her a gentle push toward the nearest house with a light on. Even as she takes her first step, you see the small group of kids near the door to that house turn and head toward the next house. <<link "Start Trick or Treating!">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreat>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 18 }>>

While clearly a new building, it's decorated to make it look filthy and old. Cobwebs hang everywhere and the lawn is dotted with tombstones. The light beside the door even flickers as Eve approaches. It's clear from where you are standing that Eve is becoming anxious as she nears the door. Reaching out, she knocks on the door. Almost instantly, the door swings slowly open with a loud creak to reveal a woman wearing a witch costume, massive wart on her nose, green skin, and all. With one hand holding a broom and the other holding a large bowl full of candy. "Trick-or-treat!" She declares with forced bravado. The witch woman cackles and holds the bowl out to Eve, "Take two," She says with a toothy grin. Eve quickly snatches the offered candy and starts to run back toward you. She only makes it a few paces before she remembers her manners and shouts, "Thank you," Over her shoulder to the woman. When Eve gets back to you, she pauses, looking at you expectantly. <<link "Continue Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreat>><</link>> <<link "Finish Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreatHome>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

She almost looks like part of the group except that her head keeps pivoting to look at all of the other kids present. One of the children in the group knocks on the door, and the group almost in unison calls out, "Trick or treat!" Then the door swings open to reveal an older man. Eve's own voice echoes the group. The old man chuckles, then reaches into a bucket beside the door, grabbing a hand full of candy and tossing them a few pieces at a time into the bags and buckets the children are carrying. There's a chorus of "Thank you," from the kids before they start to wander back toward the sidewalk, Eve parting from the group to rejoin you when they reach the sidewalk. <<link "Continue Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreat>><</link>> <<link "Finish Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreatHome>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Eve looks down the walkway leading toward a foreboding house in desperate need of a paint job. Near the door, a dim porch light is on, very occasionally flickering. The yard is only decorated with a single scarecrow sitting in a lawn chair, a large bowl of candy sitting in it's lap with a little sign sticking out of the bowl that says, 'Please take only one.' You look at Eve, seeing her look at the path uncertainly. [[Encourage her to go.|Eve Trick or Treat 3a]] [[Offer to go to the next house.|Eve Trick or Treat 3b]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Eve casts you a skeptical look, but as if your push was all she needed, her feet carry her toward the scarecrow. She glances at you one last time before she begins to reach for a piece of candy. Suddenly, the scarecrow moves, reaching out to grab hold of Eve while yelling "Boo!" Unfortunately for the would-be scarer, Eve doesn't react like a normal little girl would. While her eyes widen and her body goes rigid, instead of a squeal of fear, Eve holds her ground and stares down the scarecrow. The person in the costume catches Eve, but lets go almost as soon as they grab her when she doesn't struggle to get away. Instead, Eve shoves one finger into the scarecrow's chest, "That is NOT nice." Without another word, Eve reaches out, taking an entire fist full of candy and drops it into her basket, the whole time looking the scarecrow defiantly in the eye. Then she spins on her heel, turning and walking back toward you. The visibly surprised scarecrow sits down with a chuckle. As you and Eve start to walk again, Eve looks at you and says, "You said I'd be fine." "Looked to me like you had it well under control," You comment with a grin. <<link "Continue Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreat>><</link>> <<link "Finish Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreatHome>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

While the house doesn't have any decorations, the porch light is on and you can clearly see a couple watching a television through the large window beside the door. When Eve rings the doorbell, you see the <<set $random to random(1,2)>><<if $random is 1>>man stand and make his way to the door. "Trick or treat!" Eve says in a sing song voice. The man looks at Eve, as if trying to make up his mind what she's supposed to be. Then with a little shrug, he gives Eve a single piece of candy before closing the door. Eve looks at the door for a second longer, then turns and heads back to the sidewalk where you're waiting. <<else>>woman looks first toward the door, then at the man sitting beside her. You can see them exchange a few words, then the woman stands and moves toward the door, a friendly expression on her face. "Trick or treat!" Eve says in a sing song voice. "Aren't you just an adorable little monster," The woman says in a friendly tone. Eve says something in return, but from where you're standing you can't quite hear her. The woman gives Eve one piece of candy, glances toward the man still sitting on the couch, then quickly gives Eve a couple more pieces before closing the door. Turning back toward you, Eve nearly skips her way back to your side. <</if>><<link "Continue Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreat>><</link>> <<link "Finish Trick or Treating.">><<gotoevent setup.events.trickOrTreatHome>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

"We should head home," You tell Eve. Eve sighs, "Ok, we get to go again next year, right?" "That's a year away, lets just enjoy the moment for now," You retort. Without warning, Eve throws her arms around you in a fierce hug, "Thank you, this was amazing." You slip an arm around her, holding her to you for a few brief seconds before letting her go. With a spring in her step, she moves back to the car and gets in. A minute later, you're back in the car, driving home while Eve ponders the contents of her candy bucket. "Can I have a piece?" Eve asks softly when you're about half way home. "It's your candy," You say with a grin, "Just don't eat it all at once." Like you flipped a switch, she grabs a piece of candy and quickly starts to unwrap it, shoving it into her mouth almost as soon as it's free of the wrapper. The rest of the ride is relatively quiet, with just the sound of one wrapper after another being opened and Eve chewing on each piece of candy as it's shoved into her mouth. At one point, she grins over at you, chocolate filling the spaces between teeth. A second later, she's elbow deep in her candy bin again. //She's going to give herself a tummy ache,// You think with a bit of amusement as you turn toward the mansion and begin to drive up the long winding driveway. As soon as you park the car, Eve jumps out and races toward the mansion, presumably to show her sister the treats she collected. Watching her go, you walk toward the mansion at a leisurely pace.

As you walk along the path cutting through the park, through the midst of the Halloween Festival, you have to suddenly step aside as a group of laughing children come charging past with no regard for who might be in their way.

From not far away, there's a surprised scream followed by a loud splash. When you turn toward the sound, you see a woman dressed as a witch just coming up out of the water at the dunk tank, a shocked giggle escaping her lips even as she tries to wipe the worst of the water from her face. The says a few words excitedly to the person who threw the ball, then climbs back into the seat and prepares herself for the next ball to be thrown.

All around you, people talk noisily, bustling about as they move from place to place. Looking at the people, you see that some people are in costume, but most just seem to be there to enjoy the festival rather than put on a show of themselves.

There's a sizzle of a grill that momentarily cuts through the noise around you. The scent of seasoned meat and peppers filling the air. Turning toward the sound, you see two people working a large grill, the sign overhead boasting "Gurky's Best Gyros!" above their heads while people line up to put their claim to the test.

While moving through the festival, you see one costume that seems to stand out from the others. Tall and seemingly naked, an ivory figure moves through the crowd. Clearly feminine, the faint pink of her nipples is the only color to her skin at all. Most unsettling however is the featureless face, no eyes, no mouth, and no nose, like all of this beautiful abomination's humanity has been wiped away. //She's like a naked female Slenderman,// You think to yourself, just a split second before the shadows around her seem to darken, her head turning toward you. Even though you see no eyes, you know deep down in the core of your being that she is looking straight at you. //Zal'chaas,// An otherworldly feminine voice echoes within your head. You feel a hint of arousal wash through you, then in the time it takes to blink, you loose the figure in the crowd. //That was, . . . . unsettling,// You think, scanning the crowd for a few seconds longer before giving up the search.

Anna clutches at your arm, clearly tense. As you glance toward her, you can see an odd mixture of wonder and fear in her eyes as she looks at all of the people around you. "You going to be ok?" You ask her. Her eyes finally seem to focus on you, but then she gives a little nod, "Yeah." Even though she says she'll be fine, you can't help but notice that there wasn't much conviction in her voice when she said it.

Sensing that all of the activity is making Anna uncomfortable, you slip an arm protectively around her. Her eyes flicker toward you and you feel her tremble slightly, though a few seconds later she seems to have recomposed herself.

You instinctively hold Eve's hand, more as a way of keeping her at your side than a show of affection. The fact that she strains at your arm, pulling you along in her wake it clear that you'd quickly loose her in the crowd if you ever let go.

Excitement and wonder fill Eve's eyes, her breath seeming to quicken with each new booth that her gaze drifts toward. //She seems to be enjoying herself,// You think with a bit of amusement.

Faintly, you hear the distant strains of off-key calliope music. Frowning, you look around for the source, but are unable to see anything. //Weird. Did someone leave their music player behind?// Shrugging, you turn to leave and then do an immediate double-take. Tied to the branch of a nearby tree is a large red balloon emblazoned with the words "I Love PENDLETON" - a balloon that certainly hadn't been there a moment ago. //What the...// The balloon bobs as though buffeted by a breeze although the air is still, and the longer you stare at the blood-red rubber sac the more a sense of disquiet steals over you. A ringing tone builds inside your head, going from distracting to painful. You wince and cup your hands over your ears until the tinnitus fades, and when you open them again you see that the balloon is gone and the twilight is eerily silent once more. Submitted by Asura

A gentle breeze cuts through the abandoned festival. The sounds of paper fluttering, garbage tumbling, and small creatures of the night skittering about being the only sounds that fill the otherwise quiet park.

All around you, the darkness seems to encroach on where you are standing. Each lamp acting as a small oasis of light in a sea of darkness. As you walk, you notice that your footsteps slow slightly when you are in the light, and quicken whenever you find yourself in the dark.

Up and down the street, you can see bright oranges and foreboding blacks decorating nearly every window. Witches, pumpkins, and black cats seem to be everywhere, accompanied by banners declaring "Happy Halloween" on almost every store you pass.

From one of the rooftops, you see several large inflatables, a massive pumpkin, a witch that seems to be stirring a bubbling cauldron, and a towering Frankenstein monster all looming as they look down on the street below, //Seems like every year, there's more and more decorations for Halloween. I wonder how long it will be before Halloween decorations are as common as Christmas decorations?//

Everywhere you look, it seems like there's another advertisement for candy accompanied by portrayals of monsters, each trying to get their hands on a piece.

While at other times of year, this part of town seems almost somber in it's celebration of a holiday, during the Halloween season, it seems to take on an uncharacteristic life. Windows and awnings are decorated with the same enthusiasm as the rest of the town. Halloween themed slogans are on open display, and even the people who live and work in this area seem somehow happier than they are during other times of year.

In front of the church, you can see their sign has been changed to warn passerby about the dark undertones of the Halloween holiday. Warning of witchcraft and devil worship, and sins of the flesh. //I wonder if anyone pays those kinds of signs any mind?//

While driving along the street, you see one of those seasonal stores, decorated with Halloween themed items. //I wonder if Eve would enjoy trick-or-treating?// You wonder to yourself. Even before you realize it consciously, you find yourself slowing the car. [[Stop and look around?|Trick Or Treat Unlock 1a]] [[Continue on your way.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Parking your car at the first open space you can find, you walk to the front door of the store. You've barely got the door open before you hear screams and cackling from within, all while theme music plays over the top of it. As you take in the dimly lit interior, you can see flickering lights and costumes as far as the eye can see. Everywhere you look, there's headstones, plastic spiders, fake cobwebs and even a towering gargoyle looming deep inside of the building where it's glowing red eyes seem to search the interior for lost children to eat as it's head swivels slowly side to side. For a while, you move through the establishment, squeezing past people in too-tight aisles, and taking in the sight of everything. You're just rounding a corner when you come across a rack that seems to have costumes around Eve's size. Unfortunately, they seem to be heavily picked over, with nearly all of the remaining costumes being for boys. You nearly give up finding anything or her when you see a bright pink bow. Reaching for the costume, you pull it out of the pile. The tag reads "Cutethulhu" and with the exception of the pink bow and the black eyes, nearly all of the costume is green. The head is like an octopus, large black eyes among a mass of tentacles that hang downward. The body is lean and made out to look like a little girl. You nearly put the costume back before you pause, //I know Eve would get a kick out of trick-or-treating. And the costume //is// sort of cute in that creepy sort of way// [[Buy the costume.|Trick Or Treat Unlock 1b]] [[Eh, maybe another time.|Trick Or Treat Unlock 1c]] <<addtime { minute : 28 }>>

//I'm sure she'll like it,// You think to yourself, taking the costume and going in search of something to hold candy. Eventually you find a little cauldron that you think would look alright with the costume and head for the checkout line. You have to wait behind a lady with two small children, each of them arguing loudly over who has the best costume, and both demanding one accessory or another to go with what their mother is already getting them. At the same time, a group of teenagers have frightening looking costumes right behind you. Somehow, they're talking even louder than the children in front of you, the stale stench of last night's alcohol still wafting off of them. The minute the woman in front of you is done paying and starts to herd her children toward the door, you quickly step up to fill her spot. The woman, dressed in goth, looks at the costume, then at you. Her eyebrows lift slightly as a little smirk forms on her lips, but she makes no comment about the items you are buying. As soon as you've paid, you head right for the door, the door of the Halloween store closing is enough to finally cut the noise down to just the traffic on the street beside you.

Placing the costume back on the rack, you shrug, //Maybe I'll find something better another time?// Then with that thought in mind, you make your way back toward exit of the Halloween store and onto the street. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

""Eve, you have a moment?" You ask, fighting back the smile that threatens to split your face. <<if $eve.affection gte 700 and $eve.fear lte 250>>Her eyes light up, energy seeming to bubble from her every movement. She doesn't answer your question but instead stands before you expectantly, an excited smile threatening to form at any second. You hold up the costume you bought for her with a little flourish. Eve's smile falters, her brow creasing as she looks at the Cutethulhu costume. "You don't like it?" You ask, feeling a bit of disappointment. "What is it?" Eve asks, her tone reserved. "The package calls it Cutethulhu, but it's supposed to be a playful take on Cthulhu," You say by way of explanation. Eve's expression becomes exasperated and she rolls her eyes, "I can see //that//, what's it //for?//" "It's a Halloween costume. I thought maybe we could go knock on a few doors for the holiday," You clarify. For several heartbeats, Eve's expression is completely unreadable as her eyes shift between you and the costume. Then with an ear splitting scream Eve hurls herself at you, hitting you with enough force to both knock the wind from your lungs and knock you to the floor. When your eyes focus on her looming over you, straddling your chest, her eyes are wide with excitement, "You're telling me that on Halloween, I'm going to put that costume on, and we're going to go somewhere to trick-or-treat?" Very carefully, you reply with a single word, "Yes." Eve squeals again, this time raining little kisses down on your face, each kiss punctuated with a "Thank you!" Then suddenly she stops, a startled expression on her face, "I've got to go tell Anna!" Without another word, or even a glance back at you, Eve scoops up the costume and charges off with even more energy than you're used to seeing her exhibit. //And I just offered to help her get candy so she can add a sugar rush to that,// Even as you think the thought, you can't help but smile a little. <<elseif $eve.affection gte 400 and $eve.fear lte 500>>>Her eyes light up and you can tell that she's carefully keeping her excitement in check.

As soon as you reach the main street of Pendleton, you see a huge banner stretched from lamp post to lamp post, filling the space overhead.

Even the storefronts are decorated for the local festival, even though you suspect much of the festivities will be taking place at the park.

All up and down the streets, you see hand painted windows advertising the Heritage Festival, punctuated by the occasional banner or shamrock green item on display.

Along the street, you can see people traveling in small groups, green shirts are common among those people. //Keeping in the spirit of the Heritage Festival.//

It seems that everywhere you look there is another advertisement for the Heritage Festival. Banners advertising events in the park, shop signs boasting sales on goods, and people dressed in shamrock green, often with slogans related to the Heritage Festival printed across the front.

You step into the kitchen, the smell of chocolatey sweets drawing you in. You spot Mitsuko standing at one of the stoves, several cooking utensils scattered around her. She turns around, sensing your presence. <<if $mitsuko.affection gte 800>>"Oh, <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, what are you doing here?" Her voice full of surprise. "I'm just checking in on you, whatever you're cooking smells good." You say, watching as Mitsuko cracks an egg over a glass bowl before pouring a cup of flour into it. Your curiosity gets the best of you. "What are you making?" She stops at your question. Mitsuko looks at you. "It's nothing special, just a little surprise for everyone." She winks before turning back to the bowl. You continue watching her as she works, admiring the way she gracefully prepares each ingredient. "It's not nice to stare, you know." She states. Taking the hint, you leave the kitchen. You wander aimlessly around the mansion before finding yourself in front of the dining room. Checking the time, you notice an hour has passed, the sweet smell still wafting through the air. You're about to enter the dining room when Mitsuko appears before you."Oh <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, I was just about to come find you." She hesitates before holding her arms out, in her palms sits a square piece of chocolate with frosting in the shape of a heart and your initials in the middle. You blink a few times, stunned, Mitsuko gets impatient and motions you to take the chocolate. You reach for it, picking the confection from her hand. "where I'm from, it's called honmei chocolate." She blushes as she talks. "It's given to those we cherish." She looks away, embarrassed. You smile at the notion, looking at the chocolate you can see it was made with love. "Thank you." You thank her before taking a bite of the sweet. Your taste buds are assaulted by a chocolatey sweetness as you've never tasted before. You savor it before swallowing, you finish off the rest of the chocolate. "Wow, that was amazing." Hearing your satisfied reaction, she looks at you, her eyes searching yours, suddenly Mitsuko moves forward, kissing you on the lips. You return the kiss, breaking contact a moment later. You and Mitsuko stand there in silence. "I should go clean up." Mitsuko breaks the silence a few seconds later, bowing politely before scurrying into the kitchen, you're left standing in the doorway alone.

Don't mind me." There's a faint smile on her lips as she returns her attention back to the utensils in front of her. You watch as Mitsuko prepares the ingredients, admiring the way she carefully measures each cup. She cracks an egg over a glass bowl before pouring a cup full of flour in, grabbing a wooden spoon she mixes the two together. Mitsuko realizes you're still there as she spins around, her eyes staring at you. "When I said everyone, that includes you." Her tone serious. //I think she wants me to leave.// The realization hits you. "Oh sorry, I'll leave you to it." You apologize, leaving the kitchen as you do. //I wonder what's going on.// Lost in thought, a hundred different scenarios running through your mind as you wander around the mansion, occasionally running into Anna. After a while you find yourself in the entry hall, checking the time you realize an hour has passed. //I'll go check on Mitsuko// You take a step toward the dining room when Mitsuko appears before you. "Oh, <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, I was just about to go looking for you." There's a pause before she continues, a blush coloring her cheeks. "Here, this is for you." She holds her hands out toward you, in her palm is a square piece of chocolate decorated with the shape of a heart of icing, your initials in the middle. "It's called a honmei chocolate, we give them to those we hold dear." She looks away, embarrassed. [img[images/scenes/mitsukoValentine1.png]] You stand there, surprised. Blinking several times, you reach out and pick the chocolate up. Taking a bite of it, you're immediately assaulted by the sweetness. //Not too much chocolate, but enough to make your mouth water for more.// You let out a satisfied sigh. "That was amazing, thank you Mitsuko." Her attention snaps back to you, her eyes searching yours. A moment later Mitsuko moves forward, planting a kiss on your lips. Pulling away a second later. "I should go clean up." She bows before scurrying back into the kitchen. You're left standing alone as you blink in surprise.

She nods to you, turning her attention forward again. You stand in the doorway, watching as Mitsuko moves around, preparing the ingredients she has laid out. You can't help but admire the way she gently fills each cup with exact portions. She cracks an egg over a glass bowl before pouring a cup of flour after, picking up a wooden spoon to mix the contents around. Mitsuko spins around, sensing your presence. "You know, a surprise is meant to be a surprise." She motions for you to leave. Taking the hint, you leave the kitchen. You wander the halls for a while, eventually running into Anna as she's sweeping. You spend a few minutes chatting with her, checking the time you notice an hour has passed. //I wonder if Mitsuko's done.// Excusing yourself, you make your way to the dining room. As you're about to step in, Mitsuko steps out nearly running into you. "<<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, ah, I was just about to come find you." She hesitates before holding out her hands to you, in her palm lies a piece of chocolate, topped with some icing. "This is for you, I've prepared some for the others as well." You pick the sweet up. "Thank you." You thank her. As you take a bite, the texture and sweetness nearly overload your senses, tastes buds assaulted by a perfect balance of chocolate, the icing adding just a hint of extra flavor. You take another bite, finishing it off as you swallow. "That was delicious, good job." You exclaim, praising her baking. She nods. "I should go clean up." With a bow, Mitsuko scurries over to the kitchen, leaving you standing in the doorway. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 24 }>> <<else>>"<<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>" She acknowledges your presence. You stand in the doorway, watching as she prepares several ingredients, measuring exact proportions. "What are you making?" You ask her, curious as she cracks an egg over a glass bowl before pouring a cup of flour in. Mitsuko's silent while she works, grabbing a spoon to mix the bowl around. "Just some chocolate for everyone." She answers when after finishing mixing. "It should be ready soon." She adds. You nod, continue watching her move around the kitchen, making precise measurements and adding them together. Once done, Mitsuko places the pan down and grabs several handfuls of chocolate mixture, kneading them into different shapes before placing them on the pan. With the glass bowl empty, and all the shapes done, she pushes the pan into the oven. You look at the time. //She said it would be ready in a bit, I'll check back later.// Excusing yourself, you step out into the entry hall, with a stretch you wander around the halls, stumbling upon Anna. You stop to chat with her, checking the time after a time. //It's been nearly an hour, Mitsuko should be done.// You excuse yourself from Anna and make your way to the kitchen, as you step into the doorway to the dining room, Mitsuko appears. "<<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, you're here." Her voice is cold as she speaks. "There's some chocolate on the dining room." She brushes past you. Stepping into the dining room, you spot a plate of chocolate sitting on the table like she said. You walk over to it, picking up a piece, you take a bite. The taste of chocolate assaulting your taste buds. //This is delicious.// You think to yourself, taking one more as you leave the dining room.

//Valentines day is tomorrow,// You think to yourself as you let your eyes drift over the interior of the kitchen. //Maybe I could bake a cake we could share?// The thought crosses your mind as you realize you don't have anything else planned. [[Bake a cake.|Anna Valentines Day 1a]] [[Never mind.|Anna Valentines Day 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Making up your mind, you start moving around the kitchen you start to gather the things you think you will need. You've chosen a portion of counter to work and just found a cook book with the recipe you will need when you hear the kitchen door open. Turning, you see Anna entering the room, //Wonder what she's doing down here at this time of evening?// When she sees you, she looks suddenly uncertain. "Hi Anna," You say, subtly trying to put yourself between her and the cookbook you have, "What are you doing down here this time of night?" Anna looks like she's looking for an answer, finally she blurts out, "Just getting a head start on something for tomorrow." //That answer seemed just a little forced,// You think, but decide to let it slide for now, "Well, don't mind me, I'll just be over here trying to stay out of your way. You see just a faint smile touch her lips and she nods in agreement, //Odd, she'd usually offer to help, or insist that she could do whatever I'm doing for me.// You don't allow yourself to dwell on it though. Instead you silently thank whatever fates are at play that you weren't caught before you'd even begun. Trying to keep half an eye on Anna, you open the cook book and look up the recipe you want, taking note of the size of pan and what other items you're going to need. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Anna looking through the cook books, "<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?" You glance over at her when she speaks, "You haven't seen another cook book around here, have you? I can't seem to find the one I'm looking for." //She wouldn't be looking for the same cookbook, would she?// You look back at the cook book, memorizing the page number and the items you will need to get started,// Hopefully if this is the one she needs, she won't need it long.// Closing the cookbook, you hold it up, "This the one you need?" You ask. Anna looks, sudden relief on her face, "Yes!" She takes several steps toward you before stopping herself, "You aren't," She pauses, looking concerned, "Using it are you?" "It's fine, you can use it for what you need," You silently curse yourself as the words leave your mouth, //Well, I just made this a lot harder on myself. I guess I start by gathering the things I can remember, then try to sneak a peek at the book for the next bit.// An enigmatic smile touches her lips as she takes the cook book to you, holding it to her chest as she moves over toward the stove. With a vague plan in mind, you start gathering what you need. [[Next.|Anna Valentines Day 1c]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

//Eh, not very good at baking anyway. Would probably just ruin it,// You think before turning your attention back to other matters. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

//Mixing bowl, whisk,// You mentally check off items as you collect them, hoarding them over to your portion of counter as you collect them, //How do I make a cake with her in the room without her noticing?// You collect a few random large items that you can sit beside your work area, something to block her view of what you're doing. When you go for the cake pan, you find Anna already reaching for it. She pauses when she notices you, "Sorry, did you need this?" She picks up the cake pan and offers it to you. You can't help but see a bit of worry in her eyes. "No, you're fine," You say. Again, she has that suddenly relieved expression. Looking at the cake pans that remain, you realize that you have a choice between either a really small cake pan or a really large one. You reach for the big one, //Guess I double the recipe.// Next you set off to find the ingredients for the cake, mentally doubling the recipe as you go. The canister with flour is missing when you get there. A glance toward Anna confirms that she's already got it. Instead you grab the unopened bag of flour behind where the canister would normally sit and take that to your work area instead. After that, you head for the refrigerator. Picking up the carton of eggs, you just start to turn when you see Anna approaching, her eyes flickering between the eggs and you. //Guess she needs eggs for whatever she's making too,// You think, "Just let me grab what I need and you can have the rest of the carton. I only need four." "I just need two," She says softly, "You can keep the carton." You open the carton and let her take what she needs. She thanks you, looking self conscious as she turns back to her own cooking. //Flour, sugar, eggs,// You begin to mix the ingredients, //I need to check the cookbook to make sure I've got everything I need,// You realize. Moving over toward where Anna is working, she spots you a short distance away and quickly closes the cookbook as she steps between you and whatever she's making, //Guess she wants it to be a surprise. Maybe pastries in the morning?// "Can I borrow the cookbook for just a second?" You ask, hoping she won't ask why because you don't have a good answer for her. "Sure," She picks it up so quickly she nearly fumbles it, that same look of worry returning as you take the book. You open the cook book, opening to the page you need and confirming the ingredients, //Nearly forgot the vanilla extract,// Once you're sure you know what to do next, you hand the cookbook back to a once again relieved looking Anna. //I wonder what's gotten in to her? She's acting kind of weird. Granted, the way I'm acting probably has her wondering what I'm up to as well.// Pushing the thought aside, you turn back to your cake, mixing the batter and pouring it into the pan. //Now, how the hell do I get it past Anna and into the oven without her seeing?// You take a deep breath, collecting your thoughts. You can see her going through the cupboards, looking concerned. After nearly a minute, she hurries off toward the pantry. //Now's my chance,// You think, heading for the stove as quickly as you can safely do so. [[Next.|Anna Valentines Day 1d]]<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You sit the large cake pan on the counter, then decide you had better check the cook book one more time quickly before committing the cake to the oven. You've barely opened the cover when you hear Anna reenter the kitchen behind you, "I could have sworn we'd just opened a new bottle of vanilla extract," She sounds like she's talking to herself rather than you. To your surprise, you find the cookbook opened to the same page you've been using. Your eyes swivel toward the bowl full of batter right beside it, //She's making a cake too,// You realize with surprise. Pivoting toward Anna, you find her standing not far behind you, but instead of looking at you, she's looking wide eye'd at the cake you're making. //Busted.// You take a deep breath and decide the damage is done, it's best to simply come clean, "It was supposed to be a surprise, I was making a Valentines Day cake for tomorrow for all of us." There's a sudden twinkle in Anna's eyes as a smile blossoms on her lips, "I," She glances over toward where you were working, "That explains the vanilla extract," She laughs softly, the faint worry lines on her face easing into something much happier, "It would seem we both had the same idea." Taking a step toward Anna, you glance at the massive cake you were making, then at her, "Guess I don't need to be sneaky about it now," You can't help but grin, "Just don't go telling your sister, I want this to be a surprise for at least one person in this house." Anna nods, clearly amused. Her smile fades slightly as she looks at you, her eyes searching yours. She must like what she finds however, because the little sigh that escapes her lips sounds content. [[Get that cake in the oven.|Anna Valentines Day 1e]] [[Kiss her.|Anna Valentines Day 1f]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>

"Guess we both have a cake to bake," You smile at her, winking before turning your attention to the cake you were making. At the same time, Anna returns to her own work, quickly finishing the preparation for her own cake and putting it in the oven to join yours. "You realize," You say as she steps close. Instinctively you slip an arm around her and hug her to your side, "The size of my cake is in no way me trying to make up for shortcomings in other areas. You had the pan I originally wanted." She shakes momentarily at your side, when you glance at her, you can tell that she's trying to hold back a giggle. You let your other arm reach out and pull Anna into a proper hug. The two of you stand like that for a long time, just enjoying the closeness of the other. [[Next.|Anna Valentines Day 1g]]<<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

You take another step toward her. Her eyes are wide as she looks at you, anticipation in her expression. You stop just short of kissing her. There's a mix of curiosity and worry in her face as she looks at you, but the expression eases when she sees the mischief in your eyes. With one hand you reach out toward your unbaked cake, getting a bit of batter onto your finger then dabbing it on the tip of her nose. Only then do you lean close enough to kiss her, only instead of seeking out her lips you kiss the place you put the batter on her nose. Anna looks absolutely shocked, but happy at the same time as you pull back. Your hands find her ass, each taking hold of a globe of flesh and pulling her tightly against your front. You can see her expression turn to one of anticipation, though she waits for you to take the initiative. This time when you kiss her, your hands begin working at her clothes, trying to free her body from their confines. Within seconds, both of you are naked, your clothing scattered on the ground all around you Without a second thought, you pick her up, intending to sit her on the edge of the counter. Instead you sit her on the corner of your cake pan, causing it to tip. Vanilla cake mix spills across the counter and onto the floor. Anna makes a surprised sound, and you instinctively take a step back in an ill-fated attempt to avoid the spill. Instead you place your foot right in the cake mix splattered across the floor. You slip, and still holding onto Anna's hips, you bring her down with you. You fall flat on your back in the cake mix, Anna landing right on top of you. She looks scared for the split second it takes for you to laugh, then the expression is quickly replaced by one of relief. More playful than any real desire to get out of the cake mix, you roll over on top of her, rolling her into the worst of the spill. Her eyes fly wide, shocked even as she laughs. Leaning in, you kiss her deeply. You can feel her legs, covered in cake mix, slipping around your hips. You need no more encouragement than that, when you feel her moist slit part around the crown of your cock, you nudge forward, her warm tight hole taking your length in a single slow thrust. She sighs as she feels your hips press against hers. "OH MY GOD!" Eve's voice comes unexpectedly from behind you, "I don't know what you two are making, but if my sister's bottom's been in it, I'm not eating it!" You're so surprised by the outburst that you roll off of Anna, one hand straying downward in an effort to maintain some small bit of modesty. You can see Eve standing in the kitchen doorway, her eyes drifting between you and her sister. She shakes her head as if in disbelief, but the little smile tugging at the corner of her mouth ruins the effect. Turning on her heel, Eve exits the room before either you or Anna is able to think of any response. Laughter bursts forth from your lips as the door swings closed, then you turn back to Anna who's still looking at the door in horror. Realizing that the moment has passed, you carefully get to your feet and offer Anna a hand up. She thanks you, looking self conscious. Pulling her back to you for a quick kiss, you tell her, "I can't think of anyone I'd have rather rolled around in a cake mix with," A bit of her amusement returns at your words. "I need to go talk with my sister," She says regretfully. You nod, allowing her to go, but admiring the view of her covered in cake mix as she leaves. After a moment, you decide you had better go clean up before you attempt to clean up the mess. [[Next.|Anna Valentines Day 1h]]<<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $anna.affection += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

"Guess it's not a surprise now," You say to her with a half smile. "Sorry, I'd have avoided the kitchen if I knew you wanted privacy," She says self consciously, "I didn't intend to ruin your surprise." "No harm, life rarely goes the way we expect, but the important thing is we make a few good memories along the way," You tell her. Anna looks thoughtful for a moment, then nods, "You're right," She says, sounding a little surprised, "This will be a happy memory." You smile at her, "Can you open the oven for me while I put this monstrosity in?" She does so without hesitation. After that, the two of you work together to finish up her cake, and for once she doesn't even protest while you help her clean up after yourselves. In the few minutes before the two cakes are baked, she stands close to you, her side pressed lightly against you while your arm is wrapped gently around her middle. When the cakes are out of the oven, Anna mentions that they need to cool before they can be frosted. She promises to take care of it first thing in the morning. Leaving her to the last little bit of cleaning, you give her a quick hug then turn your attention elsewhere.

After a shower and a change of clothes, you wander back to the kitchen intending to help with the cleanup. When you arrive, you can see no sign of the earlier mess and the smell of Anna's baking cake leaves the kitchen smelling pleasantly of vanilla. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 43 }>>

When you enter the library, You see Eve sitting at the table, her back to you. It's clear from her movements that she's focused and working very hard on whatever it is that's got her attention. [[Let her have her privacy.|Eve Valentines Day 1a]] [[Try to sneak a peek at what she'd doing.|Eve Valentines Day 1b]] [[Let her know you're here.|Eve Valentines Day 1c]]<<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Not wanting to interrupt, you step back quietly, leaving her a degree of privacy. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Quietly stepping closer, you can finally see what Eve is working on. In front of her are several pieces of paper, a pair of scissors, and a set of colored pencils that she found somewhere. Paper hearts litter the table around the paper she is writing on, scraps of paper scattered around the whole area. //She's making Valentines day cards.// You realize. [[Let her have her privacy.|Eve Valentines Day 1a]] [[Try to see what she's writing.|Eve Valentines Day 1d]]<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Reaching out, you gently tap one of the wooden bookshelves to get Eve's attention. She spins quickly toward you, then scrambles to hide whatever she has been working on. "Hi!" Eve says, the innocent expression on her face. "What you working on?" You ask. Eve looks like she's going to say something defiant, but she stops herself. She lets out a little sigh then replies, "I'm making Valentines, I wanted it to be a surprise." You smile reassuringly, "Surprise or not, if you put your heart into it, I'm sure it will be treasured." Eve lets out a little sigh, "You're right," A little smile tugs at the corner of her lips, "Door's that way, you can treasure it when I give it to you tomorrow." You can't help but chuckle softly as you do what she said. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 2>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

You move a little closer, trying to stay out of her peripheral vision. On the paper, she's writing, taking her time to make every letter look perfect. You smile slightly in amusement when you realize that she'd dotting all of her i's with little hearts. //<<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, Since you came here, our lives have changed in the best ways possible. You are so nice to me and you make me happy that I belong to you. Thank you for being the best master ever. I love you, and you are one of my favorite people in the whole world. Happy Valentines Day. Eve.// She leans back suddenly. For a split second you think she noticed you but it quickly becomes obvious that she's just looking at what she just wrote. Even though the words are sweet, at the same time they give you pause, making you intimately aware of what her life must have been like before you came here. Nodding to herself, she folds the paper then uses some glue to apply a big red heart to the front of the home made card. Sliding it carefully off to the side, she places another piece of paper in front of herself as she prepares to make another card. [[Make your retreat.|Eve Valentines Day 1e]] [[Continue watching.|Eve Valentines Day 1f]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Not wanting to get caught, you take a step back. Unfortunately for you, you seem to catch her attention anyway. Eve spins in her seat, eyes wide as she sees you standing just a couple of steps behind her. Her expression turns hurt, then angry even though you see tears welling up in her eyes, "You aren't supposed to see this, it's not nice to sneak up on people! You're as bad as your Uncle!" The words spill forth, only when the last few words leave her mouth, her eyes widen in shock and her hands both fly up to cover her mouth. You find yourself shocked to silence, rooted to the spot. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" There's horror in her voice as she tries to explain herself, "It just slipped out, I am so sorry." [[Be angry.|Eve Valentines Day 1g]] [[Be hurt.|Eve Valentines Day 1h]] [[Be understanding.|Eve Valentines Day 1i]]<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You watch for a little longer, seeing Eve making a card for her sister. You can't help but smile the sappy little things she writes. After a little bit, you subtly back away, making it to the room's door without making her aware of your presence. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

In that instant, you feel a boiling rage surge through you. //After the kindness I have shown her, she has the nerve to say //that?// Even before you open your mouth, you can see her starting to wilt in place. "I'm as bad as him?" You begin, the heat in your voice is clear, "You want me to throw what your working on into the trash and punish you for using materials without permission? Or maybe you want me to beat your sister half to death every night and send her back to you crying? Is that what you want?" "No," Eve says in barely a whisper, "I didn't really mean it, I was just upset that you saw the card I was making you." You take a deep breath, trying to calm your anger, but it doesn't work, "Here's what you're going to do. You're going to go find your sister," Eve's eyes widen just a little, "Then you're going to tell her //exactly// what you said to me. And when you tell her, you're going to look her right in the eye so you can see her relive all the terrible things he did to her, and you can see the disappointment in her eyes when she realizes that you actually said something so terrible." Eve starts to open her mouth, clearly ready to protest in spite of the growing horror in her eyes. But you cut her off before she can utter even a single word, "NOW!" She seems to levitate in place when you shout, then bolts for the door without further protest. Once she is gone, you take another deep breath, this time it seems to help just a little. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 2>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 5>>

You feel like you've just been hit in the gut. The wind just goes out of you, //Could she really think so poorly of me?// Even as the thought crosses your mine, you know she just said it in the heat of the moment and didn't really mean it. That knowledge doesn't make it hurt any less though. Opening your mouth, you try to think of something to say, but when you draw a blank you close it again. "I'm sorry," Eve's soft voice holds a tremor of worry, "I never should have said such a horrible thing." She steps closer, her movements hesitant like she's uncertain if she's doing the right thing. You can see unshed tears welling up in her eyes. When she is close enough, she puts her arms around you. For a second you look down at her, her head pressed against you as she holds tightly to you. When you finally return the hug, her arms tighten around you and you can hear her start to weep, the whole while she mumbles over and over, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I was upset and it was a stupid thing to say. Please forgive me." You can't make out every word, but she says the same things enough times that you can piece it all together over the course of a few minutes. //That might have been the meanest thing someone has ever said to me.// "Next time, just call me an asshole, or that you hate me. You don't have to be so mean about it," You only half joke when you speak. Eve slowly pulls back, her expression miserable and her cheeks glistening from her tears, "I'm sorry." "You've said that a couple of times now," You point out, not really feeling the humor you're trying to project. The silence that follows quickly becomes awkward, punctuated only by the occasional sob from Eve, like lingering hiccups following her hard cry, "I should get back to what I was doing then," She says, her eyes on yours as if seeking your permission. You nod, letting her return to her work. You can't help but still feel a little hurt by her words as you turn away. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

"So," You mutter, gathering your thoughts before you speak, "It seems to me that we're both in the wrong here." You let that sink in for a moment before continuing, "I was curious what you were doing and wanted to sneak a peek. You said mean things," You raise an eyebrow. Eve nods, looking miserable, "Sorry." "Give me a hug and we'll pretend this whole thing never happened," You say, spreading your arms. She throws herself at you, her arms going around you as she crashes into you. You even stagger back a step to keep your balance before you can return the hug. The moment lingers, but it's a comfortable moment. When you finally release her, she smiles up at you, just a little sadness in her eyes. "Go back to doing whatever it is that I know nothing about," You wiggle your fingers at her as you start to back away, "And I was //never// here." In that moment, Eve's smile turns genuine again as she watches you slowly back toward the door.

<<talk "player">>Thanks, Yami.<</talk>> You smile at her and pop the chocolate into your mouth, and she hesitantly smiles back - watching in apprehension as you chew.

//Well if she wants to be like that, two can play that game. Spiteful anger surges through you, and you purposefully stride towards the girls. <<talk "players">>The chocolate.

Eve whimpers, her lower lip trembling, but Anna holds her back. Not waiting to see if they're following you, you stride from the room and examine your bounty. //What should I do with these? Keep them to myself? No... Yami might have anticipated that...// You consider throwing them into the trash, but it would be too easy for Eve to retrieve them. //No, there's only one way to dispose of these...// Making your way to the fireplace, you stare into the flames before tossing the bags in. As the plastic sizzles and the chocolate melts and burns, you dust your palms off and turn around to find Yami standing right behind you. Her eyes are cold, dark, and predatory as she glares at you. <<talk "yami">>You made them cry...<</talk>> Her voice is quiet, but reverberates with anger. You try to come up with a retort, but the anger radiating from her is like a fist clamped around your throat. <<talk "yami">>Never... do that... again.<</talk>> Without another word, she turns and strides from the room. It isn't until she slams the door behind her that you're able to breathe again.

For a moment you consider confiscating the others' chocolates out of spite... but then you notice Yami glaring at you, as though she's read your mind. //Just as well. She probably would've put rat poison in mine...// As you watch, Eve makes a face at her chocolates but continues stuffing her face with them. Pausing, she holds out a fistful to Anna, who exchanges them for a few of her own chocolates. For a moment the horrifying thought that Yami //has// put rat poison in the chocolates makes you blanche, but no-one starts choking or frothing at the mouth. You let out a small sigh of relief and settle down to watch the girls eat. After a while, Anna leans down and whispers something into Eve's ear. Eve giggles and jumps up, running over to Yami and tackle-hugging her. With a faint smile, Yami pats Eve on the head; the small girl tugging on her sleeve. Yami kneels down and Eve whispers in her ear. Yami scowls and taps Eve on the forehead, the smaller girl giggling and running back to Anna. Standing, Yami turns and eyes you with a modicum of something resembling respect, then nods and exits the room.

You notice that the bar seems particularly busy this evening. After a moment of reflection, you realize that this is likely because people with no significant other have gathered there in the hopes of finding someone, even if it's only for the night. Or that they've gone there to be alone with others.

Looking down the street, you can see the occasional decoration or banner indicating that Valentines day is fast approaching, though it's nowhere near as prevalent as in the rest of town. The Love Shack has a simple sign advertising toys "For the one you //really// love." The little occult shop has advertisements for fortune telling, promising enlightenment as to who you should be with. Wet Willy's advertises that for just a few dollars their girls won't leave you on Valentine's day. Momentarily amused by the advertisements you can see, you shake your head and focus your attention back on why you are here in the first place.

All along the street you can see bright pink hearts and glittery advertisements promising gifts for loved ones or ways to capture the hearts of those you desire.

It feels as if every store is trying to outdo the last when it comes to Valentines day decorations. Every window hosts red, pink, and glitter covered hearts. Candies, jewelry, and stuffed animals are crammed into every display window. Even from the lamp posts, large red hearts, looking like they were made of leftover red stencil from Christmas, hang proudly for all to see.

Glancing toward the movie theater, you can see that the parking lot is fairly full. Couples, often holding hands or with one arm around each other, are either rushing to the building for the movie they want to see, or are drifting out of the building with smiles on their faces after watching the movie they just finished watching.

Through windows, you can see couples, some young, some old, enjoying meals with their loved ones. Every one of them looks to be dressed nicely for the occasion and everyone appears to be happy as they share a nice meal with the one that means most to them in the world.

During the late night drive into town, you notice someone fidgeting by the side of the rode with their hand out signaling for a ride. As you drive closer, you notice it's a woman wearing a thin gray hoodie, black leggings, gray boots, and a pink backpack. Your headlights illuminate her as you approach, revealing to you that she's got her hands pulled up into her sleeves and her hoodie is pulled tightly around her face in a way that obscures her features. <<if ($anna.affection gte 500 and $anna.fear lte 350) or ($eve.affection gte 500 and $eve.fear lte 350)>>[[Pull over.|Elizaveta Intro Highway 1a]] <<else>>[[Pull over.|Elizaveta Intro Highway 1b]] [[Act like you're pulling over.|Elizaveta Intro Highway 1c]] <</if>>[[Keep driving.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> Submitted By Joker

You decide to pull over and see where she wants to go. After rolling down the passanger window you notice the woman is pale skinned with black hair and tired gray eyes that she reveals as she pulls her hood back. "Thank you for.. umm.. for pulling over," she says while fidgeting with her hands. "Would you mind taking me to town?" she asks. "Sure, hop in," you say. She blushes while taking off her backpack before opening the door, still blushing while she takes a seat situating the backpack on her lap. After you start driving you notice her playing with a ribbon on her backpack. //She seems nervous.// "Where in town do you need to go?" you ask. "Mmm.. Main Street.. I.. I'm going to be looking for a job." She says. Before you think to ask anymore she starts muttering in another language.

You decide to have some fun with the hitchhiker, and pull over a few yards from where they were standing. When they almost get to the door, you act like you're going to roll the windows down, but you drive off instead. In the rearview mirror you notice them drop to their knees and you chuckle.

At this time of night traffic is light, only the occasional car traveling down the road with their headlights on, becoming bright beacons of light during the night time hours. As you drive down the street, she asks you to drop her off around the park in a voice so soft you almost don't hear her. When you pull up near the park's entrance, she hurriedly mutters "Thank you" and gets out of the car. "You're welcome!" you call after her as she hurries away into the park.

I feel the scene should take place at night, maybe in the rain.. Will be working on a follow up scene to hire her, unless anyone wants to rewrite this to be the intro/hire or write the follow up..

"Welcome to your new home," You say as you step to the edge of the top step. Turning, you notice Misaki still standing at the foot of the steps. Her expression is pinched and you can see her shuffling her feet. She pauses with one hand outstretched, reaching to her side like she is looking for a hand rail that isn't there. Misaki closes her ice blue eyes, takes a deep breath, then lets it out. There's a patient look on her face as she starts to reach for her pocket. [[See what she is going to do.|Misaki Intro 1a]] [[Offer to help her up the stairs.|Misaki Intro 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

When her hand reappears from her pocket, Misaki produces something that looks like a radio antenna, only white with the last segment colored red. Once fully extended, it's about three feet long and as thick as your thumb. She reaches out and waves the cane in front of herself. Using it like a feeler, she finds the steps in front of herself, then carefully takes a step. As you watch, she climbs the steps one at a time, carefully taking each one until she reaches the top. "Door's right here," You say, trying to be helpful. She adjusts her facing slightly to face the sound of your voice then sweeps the cane to find the edge of the door frame. Her cane finds one side of the door, then the other before she steps over the threshold, "Forgive me, it may take me a while to learn my surroundings properly, until then it might take me a moment to get up and down stairs, and finding rooms." "Not surprising," You admit out loud, "I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to do all of this," You admit, "Is it considered bad manners to bring up your being blind? How do I show you around the mansion? I have a lot of questions." She smiles, "Do you think less of me because I am blind? As a person, does my life have less value in your eyes?" "Not at all." You state. "Do you mention my blindness out of curiosity, fact, or cruelty?" She continues, her tone mildly amused. You think about it for a second, "Curiosity and fact," You finally reply. "Then if your speaking of my blindness is not said with the intention to harm, then it is not insensitive," Her coy smile seems to grow slightly and she turns her sightless eyes toward you. You study her ice blue eyes for several seconds, //She has pretty eyes, but the way she isn't quite looking at me is a little unsettling too.// Her smile grows suddenly, "You're looking at my eyes aren't you?" You can tell from her tone that she already knows the answer, "I have to guess where a person is, so I don't always look directly at them," She explains, "Some people find it troubling." "It's going to take a little while to get used to it," You admit. "At least you're honest about it," Misaki says lightly. You can't help but laugh softly as you try to think of a response. She saves you from the need to reply, "May I see you?" As she speaks, she slips a little strap attached to her cane around her wrist so it hangs freely without the need to hold it. Confused, you say the first thing that pops into your mind, "I thought you were blind?" "I am, but eyes are not the only way a person can see," She pauses, "Instead of seeing with my eyes, I see through touch, and sound. I can hear my voice echoing in this room, I can tell that it's a large room even if I can't see the details," She gestures vaguely at the entry hall, "And I can see through touch," There's a longer pause, she raises her hands in front of you, "May I?" "Sure," You reply, not quite sure what to expect. She only hesitates for a second before reaching out, her hands finding your chest then working their way up over your collar and to your neck. At that point she slows her movements, her fingers playing over your skin carefully. You remain still, feeling a little awkward, but at the same time curious to see the situation out. For about a minute, she touches your face, her fingers drifting lightly over your features as if she is tracing the contours of your face. The whole time her features hold a thoughtful expression, "You are quite handsome, aren't you," She says, her earlier smile returning. Her hands leave your face, but rather than pulling them back to herself, she allows them to drift down to rest on your chest. [[Continue.|Misaki Intro 1c]]<<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

You quickly step down to her side, "Let me help," You say as you reach out and touch her arm. "Thank you," She says softly. With you to hold on to, she seems to gain some confidence on the stairs, //I suppose that without anything to hold on to, she had to be careful with her footing.// "Sorry to be a burden, it will take a little while to learn my way around, but I'll work hard to make up for it," Keeping one hand free, she moves her other hand to your arm, taking hold of your arm just above your elbow in a firm but not uncomfortable grip. Even with your arm to help guide her, she ascends the stairs carefully. Once at the top of the steps, you guide her through the door, "I'm not really sure how to do all of this," You admit, "Is it insensitive to bring up your being blind? How do I show you around the mansion? I have a lot of questions." She smiles, "Do you think less of me because I am blind? As a person, does my life have less value in your eyes?" "Not at all, every life is precious," You say, meaning every word. "Do you mention my blindness out of curiosity, fact, or cruelty?" She continues, her tone mildly amused. You think about it for a second, "Curiosity and fact," You finally reply. "Then if your speaking of my blindness is not said with the intention to harm, then it is not insensitive," Her coy smile seems to grow slightly and she turns her sightless eyes toward you. You study her ice blue eyes for several seconds, //She has pretty eyes, but the way she isn't quite looking at me is a little unsettling too.// Her smile grows suddenly, "You're looking at my eyes aren't you?"

"It's going to take a little while to get used to it," You admit, "But I was also thinking that you have pretty eyes." "Flatterer," She purrs happily, "Talk like that might make a girl think you like her." You can't help but laugh softly as you try to think of a response. She saves you from the need to reply, "May I see you?" Confused, you say the first thing that pops into your mind, "I thought you were blind?" "I am, but eyes are not the only way a person can see," She pauses, "Instead of seeing with my eyes, I see through touch, and sound.

"Would you like me to show you around now?" You feel a little awkward, wondering momentarily if you should be careful about how you phrase things around her, if phrases that imply sight are something you should avoid, //She said if my words don't intend harm, that it's ok,// You think to yourself, deciding to say what comes naturally and trusting that she'll correct you if needed. She takes a half step forward. You feel one of her feet bump yours as she does so. Suddenly she's standing intimately close, her hands still on your chest, but you can feel her body pressing against you now as well. Her breath smells faintly of mint when she turns her face up toward yours and speaks, "I would like that very much. Maybe you'd like to show me your bedroom?" You feel your heart race, "You are very," You consider the next word for a moment before adding, "Forward." Misaki's smile falters slightly and she takes a step back, her hands leave your chest and she clutches them in front of her breasts instead, "Forgive me, I thought," Her head droops and her shoulders sag slightly. Her expression is serious when she tilts her head up again. "I can clean, and help in the kitchen, but primarily my last master used me as a bed slave," A wistful smile touches her lips, "It was a task that I enjoy performing very much," She fidgets, "I had assumed that my task here would be the same." For several seconds, you struggle to find the right words to reply. [[Kiss her.|Misaki Intro 1d]] [[Explain that things work differently here.|Misaki Intro 1e]] [[Explain that's not why you purchased her.|Misaki Intro 1f]]<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Stepping forward, you lean down and kiss her. Her lips taste of mint and are possibly the softest you have ever kissed. Misaki tenses for just a split second before you feel her arms encircle you. Then she's meeting your kiss, allowing you to lead yet clearly an active participant. You're breathless as you break the kiss, and you hear her breathe in deeply, "I take it that means you'll be putting my talents to good use?" The coy smile on her lips brings a smile to your own lips, "No sense in letting your talents go to waste," You reply. A large smile blossoms on her face, touching her eyes and exposing her white teeth for a split second before she is able to compose it into something a bit more restrained, "Then I believe that I will be very happy in this new home."

"I'm not that kind of master," You tell her, "Yes, I expect everyone to help out with the chores, but I have no intention to force myself on you. If our relationship ever becomes physical, then I want it to be because it's something we both want, not something that you're obligated to do." Misaki looks thoughtful for a moment, "So, if I ask you nice to take me upstairs, //then// it would be ok?" You aren't sure how best to respond to her words, "If I wanted it too, then yes." Her smile is genuine as she steps closer to you once more, "Then, if you find me attractive, and you desire me, then it is something I would enjoy very much." Misaki's hand finds your chest again, then trails upward until she reaches your neck, then further until she is cupping your cheek before sliding it around the back of your neck. With only a gentle pull, you lean forward until your face is very close to yours, "I was trained as a bed slave," Her forehead touches yours, "And it is a task I take great pleasure in. You are my new master, and you may do with me as you please, but if you are concerned with how I feel as you suggest, then being your bed slave is what will make me happiest." Her lips brush yours, impossibly soft and you can taste the mint on them. You aren't even aware of your erection until the front of her body presses up against yours in an incredibly intimate way, "Will you allow me to put my talents to good use?" Her lips meet yours fully in a kiss, then she breaks it, "I want to kiss you, I want to touch you, I want to taste you, and I want to feel you inside of me. I want you to satisfy yourself with my body. I crave to be touched, I crave to touch," To emphasize her words, one of her hands slides lightly across your jawline. Her lips brush yours again, not quite a kiss, yet somehow much more intimate. You swallow hard, not used to anyone coming on to you with so much enthusiasm. It takes a conscious effort to think about anything beyond how good she feels pressed against you. //She's a nymphomaniac,// You realize, both amused and just a little intimidated by the sudden understanding.

"I didn't purchase you for sex," You state. Misaki's expression turns suddenly upset, "If you did not purchase me for what I have to offer, is it because I am a charity case? You felt sorry for me?" The sudden heat in her voice is a little surprising, and you find yourself feeling defensive, "Not at all, Claire told me that you needed a good home, and that you were skilled in tasks that would be helpful in taking care of my home. She thought you were a bargain for what you had to offer and I agreed with her," You take a deep breath, trying to gather your thoughts before you continue. "Sorry," Her voice comes out softly, "I sometimes worry too much about others' perception of me, I am thankful for this new home and the place you have made for me within it. I will serve you to the best of my abilities in whatever manner you wish." You reach out, intending to place your hand on her shoulder, but she adjusts her stance and you touch her cheek instead. The moment you do so her eyes half close and she leans into the palm of your hand, a faint smile playing at her lips. //She likes to be touched,// You realize. "You are in my home to help take care of the place," You reach up with your other hand, cupping her other cheek. The moment you do so she stops leaning into the one hand and instead gains a content look on her face, "I am not sure what all I will ask of you, but for the moment it will be helping out with the cleaning and cooking." "Master?" She says softly, "May I ask something of you?" "You may ask," You reply. "I like to be touched," She leans into one of your hands, "But if you will not touch me, may I touch myself?" //Is she asking permission, . . . // "My last master allowed me to cum whenever I wanted in bed, but only allowed me to touch myself with his permission. If you do not want me in your bed, . . . " "I guess that would be ok," You reply, too surprised to really think about the answer before you reply. Misaki lets out a sigh of relief, "Thank you." "I suppose I should show you around just a little bit?" You finally ask. "If that is what you wish," She says, just a little sadness in her tone.

You hold out your arm for her, then when she doesn't immediately reach for it you feel silly, //This is going to take a little getting used to,// Reaching out, you take her hand and guide it to yours. She repositions her hand so that she's holding your arm just above the elbow. Taking your time, you lead her around the mansion. She takes particular interest in the gym, but otherwise, you simply hear her occasionally say a number under her breath. Finally, your curiosity gets the best of you and you have to ask, "What's with the numbers? You say a number every time we reach a new room." "Counting steps," She says as if it's the most natural thing in the world, "Eighty six steps to the gym once you reach the hallway. I walk that far and I know that the door is close." "That makes sense," You say, a little surprised. She just smiles seemingly to herself and allows you to continue the tour. When you reach your bedroom, her interest seems to be piqued. You remember how she came on to you earlier and you have little doubt of the kinds of thoughts that must be going through her mind. After walking her through the room and explaining about where everything is, you finally lead her upstairs to the servant's area where you encounter Anna and Eve. "Girls, please help her get settled in and make sure she feels welcome," You say. Eve is out of her chair in excitement almost as quick as the words leave your mouth. At the same time Anna nods in understanding. "I'm going to leave you with Anna and Eve for now, I'll see you a little later," You assure her. Misaki turns and embraces you, her hug lingering as she takes a deep breath. When she finally releases you, there's a faint smile on her lips. Excusing yourself, you make your way to the stairs. Turning back toward the room, you look at the scene unfolding. Anna standing before Misaki, talking to the little Asian woman. Meanwhile, Eve is already holding Misaki's hand and is talking excitedly over her sister. Turning back to the stairs, you make your exit. [[End.|$location]] <<set $misaki.affection += 25>><<addtime { minute : 44 }>>

The second she steps into your bedroom, Misaki takes a deep breath. You see the corner of her mouth tug up, then she turns and slips her arms around you. She has to stand on her tip toes to get her face near yours, but it's clear she is looking to kiss you. You lean your own head forward, letting your lips touch her oh so soft lips. She moans happily into the kiss. Her hands quickly slide under your shirt, brushing over your chest. "Please," She says breathlessly as she breaks the kiss, "Lead me to the bed." Rather than leading her to the bed, you instead sweep her off her feet. She lets out a surprised squeal as you pick her up so suddenly. You can feel her heart racing as you hold her to your chest. "Warn me!" She says, her voice too highly pitched. You only manage to get half way to the bed before you feel your pants fall around your ankles. //What the?// Misaki's giggle is a clear sign of guilt on her part. When you reach the bed, you lay her down with significantly more care than you had picked her up. She lays back, sprawling her arms and legs as she savors the feel of the soft bed beneath her. Standing at the side of the bed, you begin to undress yourself. After a moment, she begins to do the same, quickly discarding her clothes so quickly you wonder how she got out of them. The moment her panties come off, the smell of her arousal becomes evident. She reaches out toward you, her hand finding your chest. Quickly, she pulls you toward her, every motion has a primal hunger to it. Misaki kisses you, her lips pressed against yours tightly as her tongue thrusts into your mouth. You can feel her legs encircle your hips as she pulls you on top of her. Her chest thrusts up, her breasts pressing against your chest. Her legs tighten around your hips in an effort to pull you closer. One of her hands reaches down, taking hold of your manhood. She makes an appreciative moan as soon as she touches your appendage. She strokes it once, then angles it downward. You can feel how wet she is, //She's soaked!// against the tip of your cock. The moment you feel the tip of your cock against her opening, she thrusts her hips up, driving you deep inside of her in a single movement. She breaks your kiss as a wanton moan fills the air. Her hips keep thrusting upward, intent on fucking herself with your tool even if you aren't going to take the initiative. You have to take hold of her hips to stop her, and once you do, you begin to thrust in turn. You're amazed at how wet she is, every thrust eliciting a wet squelch. Her pussy is tight, rippling around your penis in a way that can only come from practice. All the while, her body tenses and trembles time and again as she experiences one orgasm after another. For several minutes you fuck her like that, then change positions and fuck her some more. You manage to hold off your impending orgasm for nearly half an hour before her legs clamp down around you, holding you deep inside of her as you spill your seed within her depths. The simple act of cumming inside of her pussy is enough to push her over the edge to yet another orgasm of her own. You hold yourself like that for several seconds before she pushes you off of her. You're about to protest the action when she quickly moves downward, her hands trailing along your body until she finds your cock. In that moment she leans forward and takes you into her mouth. Her tongue twirls around your crown, cleaning you of fluids as she coats you with her saliva. It's not long before her head is bobbing up and down your length, coaxing you back to full hardness. Misaki's mouth comes free with an audible "Pop!" Then still holding your member with one hand, she crawls on top of you and impales herself on your rigid rod. Both of her hands come to rest on your chest as her hips begin to rise and fall. Her fucking still holds an urgency to it, but nowhere near as intense as when you started. //She seems to want to take her time this time.// Even so, with the way her pussy moves around your cock, it's not long before you can feel the first tell tale signs of an approaching orgasm. Seeming to sense the same thing, Misaki's movements become more intense, her ass slamming down with each stroke as she rides you cowgirl style. Looking up at her, you can see a look of pure bliss on her face. An involuntary smile teasing the corners of her lips every so often as she continues. It's not long after that when you begin to cum a second time. This time when you cum, she slows her movements, grinding her hips against you as you soften inside of her, "I'm spent," You say breathlessly. "Just give it a minute, you can go one more time," She purrs. You don't voice your doubt, but a couple of minutes later you're hard as a rock once more.

Prying your eyes open, you look toward the clock and see that just over four hours have passed since the last time you looked at the clock. //That was both amazing and utterly terrifying,// You think to yourself. Your penis feels so over worked that you wonder how long it will be before you can even get it up again, and your balls ache to the point of throbbing, //Nine times.// You look around, seeing that the room is empty with the exception of yourself, //How long was I out for?// "That was amazing," You mumble to yourself, feeling more sexually satisfied than you have ever before in your life. It takes you a couple of minutes to sit up, and even then you aren't entirely sure your legs are going to hold you when you try to stand. A few minutes later, you're fully dressed again, and moving slowly toward the bedroom door on legs that feel as if they are made of rubber. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 247 }>>

Starts in the front yard.

Stepping out into the driveway you make your way toward the entrance to your mansion, Mitsuko following behind you. Making your way up the stairs, you come upon the doors. Placing your hand on the knob you give a push. With a creak the doors open, and you walk into the entry hall. Anna stands in front of you, her back turned as you enter. Hearing the door, she spins around. <<talk "anna">>Oh <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, welcome back.<</talk>>\ She gives you a polite nod, unaware of the presence standing behind you. Her eyes widen as Mitsuko steps beside you, the taller woman's gaze wandering around the room, a hint of astonishment in her eyes. <<talk "player">>Anna, can you go fetch your sister for me?<</talk>>\ You ask her. She nods, scurrying off to find Eve. You look at Mitsuko. <<talk "player">>Fair warning, she's quite the energetic one.<</talk>>\ She nods in response to your warning. Several minutes pass by in silence until you hear footsteps coming from the dining room. Eve appears from the doorway, her eyes lighting up in excitement upon spotting the newcomer, Anna right behind her. They both come to a stop several feet before you. <<talk "eve">>Who's that?<</talk>>\ Eve points to your companion, curiosity getting the better of her. Anna gives her a little nudge with her elbow. You chuckle. <<talk "player">>This is Mitsuko, she will be joining us as a new maid.<</talk>>\ You introduce her to the girls. <<talk "player">>Mitsuko, this is Anna and Eve, they work around the mansion. Anna handles everything inside while Eve tends to the grounds. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask one of them.<</talk>>\ The woman beside you nods. <<talk "player">>Anna, if you would please show her the ropes, I'll check on her later.<</talk>>\ Anna nods, motioning for Mitsuko to follow her. Eve joins the two, barraging the new maid with a list of questions, her voice full of delight. <<talk "thought">>She'll be alright, //I hope.//<</talk>>\ With introductions out of the way, you move on.

As you’re walking, you can hear a raised voice from the adult novelty shop beside the street, “The Love Shack.” Curious, you give the door a light push and step inside. Looking around you find yourself in a medium sized room, shelves on either side and cases in the middle of the room. Further in you can see a slightly larger doorway covered by a thin curtain, a dim light filters through. As you’re walking down the aisles of cases, you can see them lined with different types of sex toys and clothing, from lingerie to dildos and bondage gear. The sound of the raised voice leads you closer to the curtain, the masculine voice sounding worn-out and irate. <<talk "willy">>Listen to me here girl, you’ve still got a contract to pay off. Your contract cost me a small fortune and I ain’t letting you go until you paid it all off. Even if that means I have to start selling you to my customers. Understand, girl?<</talk>>\ Even from behind the curtain you can tell the man is at the end of his patience, you hear another voice speak up, this one much softer and feminine sounding. <<talk "mitsuko">>Of course, sir but…<</talk>>\ The woman tries to protest. <<talk "willy>>There’s no but girl, either do the job or I'll have you deported back to whatever shit hole you came from. And we don’t want that, do we?<</talk>>\ Sounding more frustrated, the owner cuts the woman off. <<talk "mitsuko">>No sir…<</talk>>\ She meekly agrees with the man, not wanting to be sold off again. <<talk "willy">>Good, you may be nearly worthless, but if you don't stop fucking everything up I'm going to let Michael put you in one of his movies. And with your lacking the proper training and obedience, no one else would take you.<</talk>\ You hear the man sigh, behind the curtain you barely make out the outline of the shop owner sorting through a box, to his left stands a woman. <<talk "willy">>Honestly, I should start scheduling you for the evening shift in the back room. It's quite popular among the customers and street workers you know.<</talk>>\ You can hear a slight gasp come from the woman. <<talk "mitsuko">>Sir, please, I would rather work the store front.<</talk>>\ You can hear the slight panic in her voice. The man sighs, putting down the box and turning to face the woman. <<talk "willy">>What did I say about disobeying me?<</talk>>\ His voice full of anger. <<talk "willy">>I told you, you will do what I tell you to do. Whether you want to or not. Damnit woman, I'd fucking give you away if I thought someone would take you.<</talk>>/ [[Push the curtain aside and enter the room.|Submitted Mitsuko Introduction Scene 1a]] [[Go back to browsing the shop's inventory.|Submitted Mitsuko Interactive Scene 1b]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

Seeing the woman recoil slightly at the shop owner's anger, you push aside the curtain. Hoping to calm the situation you enter the room, startling the shop owner. <<talk "willy">>W-Welcome to my shop, The Love Shack!<</talk>>\ Stuttering, the owner turns his attention to you. <<talk "willy">>What can I get for you, we’ve got everything you’ll need to reinvigorate your sex life, and more!<</talk>>\ Nodding towards the cases of adult DVDs on display, and the bondage gear on the walls. Stepping toward you, it seems like he's trying to direct your attention back toward the main part of the store. <<talk "player">>You have quite the selection here, but I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. You seem to be having trouble with your //employee//.<</talk>>\ Looking over to the woman, you can see she’s somewhere in her mid to late thirties, a mature look to her and motherly figure. Standing at around 6 feet tall. <<talk "thought">>She is //really// tall for a woman from the Far East. And her bosoms, //wow// they're <<print $mitsuko.chestFlair>>!<</talk>>\ Her clothes consist of a maid’s uniform, custom made to be smaller, showing off the curves of her body and emphasize the woman's $mitsuko.chestFlair cleavage. Under her breasts, you notice a small gap in the outfit where her skin bulges out. The man’s brow twitches slightly. <<talk "willy">>Oh dear customer, it’s nothing to worry about. But if you must know, I bought her contract for a high price and I have yet to see anything worth my investment.<</talk>>\ Taking a moment to compose himself, the owner continues. <<talk "willy">>If anything, she’s cost me quite a bit in damages and repairs, honestly I am seriously considering trying to sell her contract but I doubt anyone would take her, even for free.<</talk>>\ He casts an unhappy look at the woman. <<talk "willy">>I might just have to have her deported, to be frank.<</talk>>\ [[Offer to take up her contract.|Submitted Mitsuko Introduction Scene 1c]] [[Suggest hiring a trainer.|Submitted Mitsuko Introduction Scene 1d]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You look to the shop owner's servant, it’s clear she hasn’t had the best treatment. You notice a scar running from the left side of her cheek, across the bridge of her nose to the right cheek and what looks to be a bruise around her eye. With her outfit she would be better suited working at the mansion as a maid. <<talk "player">>If you’re looking to get rid of her contract, I would be willing to take her under my care. It doesn’t look like she’s cut out for this kind of work.<</talk>>\ Taken by surprise and shocked by your proposal, the shop owner stares at you for a moment. You feel a drop of sweat roll down the back of your neck as he seems to struggle to make up his mind. Torn between letting go of a servant he paid a handsome price for and denying a potential, future client. <<talk "willy">>You're the one who inherited the mansion outside of town?<</talk>>\ He only half asks the question. From the way the man's demeanor changes, it's clear that your great uncle's opinions held great weight in this man's eyes. You nod and a moment later, the owner throws his arms in the air. <<talk "willy">>Bah, fine, take her. She’s proven herself to be useless anyways, she’s always trying to run off somewhere late at night, so a word of warning, watch her carefully. It took a lot of time and training to put an end to that. And even then I doubt it still even worked.<</talk>>\ Lowering his arms, he makes his way behind a counter and kneels down, you can hear him fiddle with what sounds like a safe, cursing under his breath. There's a soft click as the locking mechanism releases, then he pulls out a small folder of papers, staring at it for a few moments before standing up, he looks to you. <<talk "willy">>Here, her contract. Don’t come crying to me if she runs off on you.<</talk>>\ Giving you one last warning before handing the contract over to you. You grab it, glancing quickly into the folder before nodding. <<talk "thought">>Is the trade of human flesh really such a casual thing? A few papers and an agreement.<</talk>>\ The thought weighs heavily on you. [img[images/scenes/MitsukoIntro.png]] <<talk "player">>Thank you, don’t worry I’ll take great care of her.<</talk>>\ You thank the man, holding the folder at your side. Turning to your new servant, you gesture for her to follow <<talk "player">>Come on, lets go.<</talk>>\ Passing through the curtain, you make a mental note to visit the shop again as you give the shelves a quick glance. Upon reaching the main door, you pause, facing your new servant. <<talk "willy">>Come back soon! If I don't have it in stock, I can custom order it for you. And my business dealings are very discrete!<</talk>>\ The man calls hopefully in your wake. Staring at you curiously, your new servant speaks up. <<talk "mitsuko">>Is something wrong master?<</talk>>\ A hint of tension in her voice, unsure of the reason why you stopped so suddenly. <talk "player">>I don’t even know your name, I’m <<print $player.firstName>>.<</talk>>\ You introduce yourself to her, putting on a reassuring, friendly smile. Hoping to put her at ease. <<talk "mitsuko">>My name is Mitsuko Saito, born and raised in a small village in the Far East. I was kidnapped and sold into slavery at a young age. I was told I would be sent overseas and be married to a rich man who would give me a better life, instead I was made a servant. I have received extensive training in daily household chores, I shall do my utmost in serving you master.<</talk>>\ She tells you her name and a bit about herself then politely bows. <<talk "player">>It’s nice to meet you //Mitsuko//. Since you’ve already received training, it’ll be easier introducing you to Anna and Eve.<</talk>>\ You move to pull the door open but stop midway. <<talk "player">>Oh, right. Anna’s a maid employed at the mansion my uncle had once owned but willed it to me upon his passing, Eve is her younger sister employed there as well. She helps take care of the chores on the estate.<</talk>>\ As you explain who the siblings are, you notice Mitsuko perks up slightly at the mention of the mansion. Thinking nothing of it, you pull the door open and step out onto the side walk, you wince as your eyes adjust to the brightness of the sun after spending so long in the dim store.

Looking at the shop owner, you can tell he’s in quite the dilemma. He’s already spent a huge amount of money purchasing the woman’s contract. <<talk "thought">>If he’s attempted to train her himself this entire time, that’s where he’s doing things wrong. An actual trainer would be better suited in teaching her proper obedience.<</talk>>\ With those thoughts in mind, you get an idea. Pulling the man aside, you whisper to him. <<talk "player">>Why not just hire someone who has experience in training girls like her?<</talk>>\ The man looks to you, a sour look on his face. <<talk "willy">>I thought about it, but that would just be more expenses added on to the money I already lost buying her contract.<</talk>>\ You mentally sigh. <<talk "player">>Yes, but in the long term you’d get a better return on your investment. She’d receive the training she needs to assist you in operating a shop like this one, and she would likely be taught how to be more open to servicing customers if you chose to do that.<</talk>>\ You can see the owner slowly coming around to your suggestion. His eyes widen slightly as he stares off into the distance, his mind racing, imagining all the opportunities such a long-term investment would bring in the future. [img[images/scenes/MitsukoIntro.png]] Making up his mind, he looks to you. <<talk "willy">>Thank you, dear customer, I suppose you’re right. I was blinded by the potential short-term gains and failed to realize she wasn’t properly trained by a real professional.<</talk>>\ The owner takes your hand in his own, shaking it, then lets go and gestures for his servant to follow him into a back office. With him gone, there’s nothing much else to do besides looking around. You’ve already wasted a bit of time here and there are other places to explore in town. You head back to the main entrance, glancing back as you pull the door open. //Hopefully he’s able to hire someone who can help, it’d be a shame for his investment to go to waste//. You exit the shop, stepping onto the sidewalk, your eyes adjusting to the brightness of the sun. [[End|$location]] By: Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

<<talk "thought">>Whatever’s happening beyond the thin curtain isn’t a problem I need to worry myself with.<</talk>>\ You return to browsing the displays. You can see the shop owner certainly keeps a stock of everything, the case in front of you is lined with several sets of sex toys and handcuffs, to the left you see several lines of butt plugs and lube. And to the right, the display is full of flesh lights and different sets of condoms. Behind you the displays are full of adult books and playboy magazines. You pick through a couple of magazines, skimming to the end of each one. You place the last one back. <<talk "thought">>The sun will be going down soon and there are other places to see.<</talk>>\ You exit through the door you came in through, pulling it open, you step outside, your eyes adjusting to the outside..

When your phone rings, you pull the number. You instantly recognize it as the one you called the other day from your Great Uncle's phone book. //Bruce.// <<talk "player">>Hello, Bruce?<</talk>> <<talk "bruce">>A pleasure to hear your voice <<print $player.firstName>>! Last we talked, I asked if it would be alright to swing past the mansion, meet you in person? I also brought that other matter we discussed.<</talk>> <<talk "player">>Yeah, I'm home. You're in town now?<</talk>> <<talk "bruce">>My driver is just leaving Pendleton right now. I'll be there in under ten minutes.<</talk>>\ Bruce's voice is soothing, friendly, and disarming in a way that you know should bother you more than it does. <<talk "bruce">>I'll see you shortly.<</talk>>\ Without another word, the line goes dead, leaving you with a soft dialtone in your ear. Just then, you see Anna. <<if $anna.affection gte 650 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 750>>Surprise, with just the faintest flicker of panic crosses her features between the time she notices you coming, and the time her eyes meet yours.<<elseif $anna.affection gte 550 or $anna.fear lte 500>>A flicker of panic crosses her features as you move toward her. Her features etched in worry as her eyes meet yours.<<else>>The moment she sees you moving so quickly toward her, she freezes.

Can I ask you to go open the gate for him?<</talk>> Anna nods, turns, and hurries off to do exactly that. By the time you hear the front door close behind her, you find yourself wondering what to expect from this stranger. You're still wondering whether or not you've made the right choice when Anna enters through the front door again, less than a minute later there's a firm knock on the door, like it's being struck by something solid rather than a hand. Anna turns back toward the door, walking quickly yet somehow managing to not show any urgency at all. <<talk "thought">>Sometimes she moves with the grace of a spirit.<</talk>>\ You have just enough time to think before she opens door. [[Next.|Sidra Intro 1]] <<set $sidra.addFlag("met")>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

The waifish young man with long blond hair and a finely tailored suit stands in the doorway as it is opened. He leans lightly on a cane, but his pose suggests that he carries it for show rather than out of need. His eyes go straight to Anna's chest, travels slowly down her body, then up to her face where he holds her gaze. <<talk "bruce">>Your master is expecting me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>This way please, we can talk business in the study.<</talk>>\ Bruce nods at Anna, then steps past her without so much as a second look. In his wake, a young olive skinned woman in unremarkable clothes follows. A minute later, you're in the study, sitting on the corner of the desk rather than behind it. Meanwhile, Bruce sits in a chair while the woman stands slightly behind him and to one side, her eyes downcast. <<talk "bruce">>Let me begin by saying what a rare pleasure it is to meet you.<</talk>>\ His tone is friendly and his handshake is firm without being crushing. <<talk "bruce">>As we discussed, I brought the property. But first, you had expressed an interest in learning more about Anna and Eve. I've asked around a little, but these things can take time. I haven't been able to learn anything yet, but it's possible that can change. I'll keep you apprised if I learn anything.<</talk>>\ He barely breaks stride as he shifts topics. With a slight flourish, he gestures at the woman he brought with him. <<talk "bruce">>If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to inspect her, now is the time. Once you've had a chance to confirm that she is everything I said, then we can finalize this transaction.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>He's friendly, but he's also all business.<</talk>>\ He snaps his fingers and the woman timidly steps forward. Your eyes move between Bruce and the woman before settling on the woman. Slowly, as if it takes a tremendous effort, her eyes raise to not quite meet yours. <<talk "player">>What's your name? Tell me about yourself.<</talk>>\ Bruce looks mildly surprised, an amused expression on his face as you address the slave directly. <<talk "bruce">>Well go ahead girl! Don't just stand there, answer the man!<</talk>>\ As Bruce growls at the woman, you watch as she jerks as though the man's words were physical attacks to her. The woman slowly raises her head to look you in the eyes again. The silence is deafening, finally as you're wondering if the woman even can speak, she sighs and begins to talk. <<talk "sidra">>Yes sir, my name is Sidra. I am eighteen and was born in a small farming village. I am competent in cooking, cleaning, and.....I've had some experience in other services as needed.<</talk>>\ You have to strain to hear the last part as she almost whispers the words whilst blushing and twitching nervously. She bows her head and returns to looking at her feet. You look over at Bruce who is rubbing his forehead. With a wave of his hand Sidra bows and steps out of the study. <<talk "bruce">>I'm afraid you're probably not going to get much more from her. God knows I've done my best to get it out of her. The information I got from the man I bought her from told me she came from a farming family, so wouldn't expect much from such pickings though she's quite a looker am I right?!<</talk>>\ He gives you the biggest grin and a wink then pauses and closes his eyes as he muses to himself before he speaks again. <<talk "bruce">>I'm almost tempted to change my mind and keep her. After all those curves and her skill, I mean I'd like to take credit for all her skills but she came into my possession already somewhat skilled! I'm sure her previous masters would've enjoyed her better with the skills she has now.<</talk>>\ You sit watching him for a few moments and are about to object, reminding him of the reason he's here when Bruce speaks again. <<talk "bruce">>Don't worry my friend, I brought her here for you. I've got plenty more that can tend to me. I'm taking it by your objections that we clearly have a deal. So with a shake of hands I'll show myself out.<</talk>>\ <<if $Money gte 5000>>[[Agree and purchase Sidra for $5,000. |Sidra Purchase 1a]] <</if>>[[Decline the purchase of Sidra. |Sidra Purchase 1b]] Submitted by hospoguy76 <<addtime { minute : 11 }>>

<<talk "player">>I'm satisfied. I am glad we were able to meet.<</talk>>\ <<talk "bruce">>Hope you enjoy your new property!<</talk>>\ Bruce as he says this stands, shakes your hand and turns towards the door. With that he's gone. Before you have a chance to think Anna enters with Sidra close behind. The distinct sound of someone running towards the study can be heard through the door. No sooner have the three of you turned to look at the door, Eve bursts through grinning from ear to ear. Before you or Anna have a chance to stop her, Eve runs up to Sidra and throws her arms around her. <<talk "eve">>I couldn't help but hear! I just know we are going to be the best of friends!!<</talk>>\ You and Anna exchange a bewildered look followed by a nod from you which Anna clearly acknowledges as a dismissal. She turns to the two girls and ushers them out of the study, leaving you to your thoughts.

Taking a moment, you think over everything you know and have seen of Bruce. You decide you've made a horrible mistake and must end this now. <<talk "player">>I'm sorry, I must stop this! It's gone too far! I'm really not interested in owning anyone else. I merely wanted to learn about those I already come to have in my possession.<</talk>>\ Bruce, shocked by your sudden outburst, sits for a moment his eyes never leaving yours. <<talk "bruce">>My friend, there's no need to apologize, if anyone is sorry it is me. I assumed from our conversation on the phone, that you were comfortable in these processes. I'll take the girl back with me, don't worry it's not an issue. Of course I'm a little disappointed but I'm happy to stay in contact if you should change your mind.<</talk>>\ Bruce stands offers his hand for a farewell, turns and leaves the study. Sighing, you lean back in the chair, considering what all was said and wondering if you made the right decisions. [[End.|study]] Submitted by hospoguy76 <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

She gives you a one-sided smile. <<talk "femaleStranger">>Now who's the comedian?<</talk>> <<talk "player">>I try.<</talk>> You say, mirroring her earlier words. She nods and settles into the seat, putting one hand on the seatbelt crossing her torso. She doesn't speak during the drive to Pendleton and you don't push her. She's staring out of the window, clearly lost in her thoughts. Some time later, just as the rain eases up, you pull over outside the first church you see. It's a typical, traditional church, complete with big wooden doors and a steeple. You turn around and look at Jen. Though her face is expressionless, her dark eye just seems to scream sadness as she looks out at the church. <<talk "player">>What's your name?<</talk>> You ask, startling her from her reverie. <<talk "player">>I'm <<print $player.firstName>><</talk>> <<talk "jen">>Jen.<</talk>> She says after a moment. <<talk "jen">>Thanks for the lift.<</talk>> <<talk "player">>Good luck.<</talk>> You say as she gets out and moves slowly to the big church doors.

The knock on the door echoes throughout the entry chamber, making it sound ominous and foreboding. "I'll get it!" You call out, even though nobody's within earshot. //Odd… we weren't expecting company, were we?// As you stride towards the door, you hesitate before grabbing the door handle. //What if it's one of Uncle's old business contacts?// You've made a point of avoiding delving into the seedier side of your Uncle's dealings thus far - human traffickers and slave traders tend to be an unsavory lot. The person on the other side of the door knocks again, and steeling yourself you grab the door handle and open it. A person stands on the doorstep, hand raised to knock again. For a long moment you're taken aback, unsure if you're looking at a pretty boy or a handsome girl. //I'm gonna go with… boy?// You look him(?) up and down. "Umm… hello?" [img[images/scenes/yamiIntro.png]] His black hair is shoulder-length and messy, tied back in a loose ponytail. His eyes are almond-shaped, making him look East Asian, but his skin is brown - a medium coppery shade. He's dressed in a black leather jacket, a hoodie, and black-and-grey cameo patterned pants. Awkwardly slung over his back by a single strap is a worn brown leather knapsack, a long bag made of durable black fabric lashed to it by a nylon strap. The stitches securing the top knapsack's other strap seems to have torn away at some point, leaving it dangling uselessly behind him. Noticing you've opened the door, he deposits the knapsack off to one side and transfers the long bag to his back, a confident, almost friendly smile on his face that doesn't reach his eyes as he speaks. "Hello. Can I have a minute of your time to talk about our Lord and Savior-" [[Not interested.|Yami Intro a-1]] [[Slam the door.|Yami Intro b-1]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You roll your eyes, cutting the stranger off before he can continue. "Sorry, not interested." As you move to close the door, he catches it and pushes it open with surprising strength, smirking. "You're <<print $player.firstName>>?" "Uhh… yeah?" Your nonplussed expression makes his eyes narrow. "Who the heck are you and what do you want?" "My name is… just call me Yami." He cracks his neck nonchalantly. "As for what I want… Claire sent me." He reaches into one of his pockets and pulls out a letter. "Here's proof, if you need it." "Ah…" You scan the letter, which is barely legible and stained with something that looks like dried blood and beer. You flash back to your first run-in with temperamental Irish women, brawling while drunk in a back alley. //Seems legit…// "You're a friend of hers?" "Something like that…" Yami grins, a hungry, almost feral expression that makes you shudder. His eyes are black, dark enough that it's hard to see where his pupils end and irises begin. //Like a shark's…// You recoil instinctively and Yami pushes past you and steps into the entry hall, clicking his tongue in disgust as he looks around at the art. "Your choice of decor is… appalling." [[Ask what Yami wants.|Yami Intro a-2]] [[Tell Yami to get out.|Yami Intro a-3]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You slam the door in the person's face before he can finish. Anna pokes her head out, frowning. "Who was it?" "Oh, just some quasi-religious nut-job." You speak loud enough for the person on the other end of the door to hear you. "Oh." Anna frowns and glances out the window. "They're still there, you know." "He can stay out there all night for all I care." You shrug, shaking your head. "I know it sounds cold, but I'm not letting some stranger in when he could put you all in danger." "You think he's dangerous?" Anna peers out the window and frowns, her brow knit with concern. "Wait, where's Eve?" "She's upstairs somewhere, I think. Probably slacking off again." Anna's eyes narrow, though you're not sure if her subdued anger is directed at you for slighting her sister or her sister for slacking off.

"Anna?" She turns to look at you, and you flash a disarming half-smile at you. "Listen, the two of you have been working really hard all day every single day ever since I got here. Taking care of a big house like this can't be easy. Let her take the rest of the day off, and you too." "Oh." Anna's eyes widen in surprise, her hand flying to her mouth. "I… I couldn't possibly… there's so much still to get done…" "If anyone's earned it, you have." You grin at her, and Anna stammers wordlessly for a moment. "I… I don't know what to say…" She glances at you, and you can tell she's worried that this is a trick. Inhaling deeply, she bows. "Thank-you." As Anna sets off in the direction of the baths, you glance out the window. The stranger is walking down the driveway in the direction of the gate, and you watch as he scales it with surprising speed and agility, swinging himself over the iron spikes. //Weird. Hope we've seen the last of him.// Shrugging to yourself, you resolve to put the encounter out of your mind. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> <<run $yami.addFlag("rejected")>>

"You'd better go find her, and if she //is// slacking off give her hell for me." You mean it as a joke, but Anna flinches - no doubt remembering the brutal punishments administered under your Uncle's tyranny. Without giving you a chance to rectify your statement, Anna stiffly nods. "Understood, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." Turning on her heel, she ascends the stairs with surprising speed and vanishes down one of the halls. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 2 }>> <<run $yami.addFlag("rejected")>>

"I just moved in here not too long ago. My Uncle was the one who had all that put in." You look up at the statues of naked women framing the staircase. You've gotten so used to the lewd art that you've stopped noticing it, but… //Perhaps it's time for some redecorating. I wonder if Anna has any input…// You're surprised she hasn't shown up, but she and Eve are probably busy with chores or preparing food. "That so?" Yami glances around the roof with a disgusted expression. "And this Uncle of yours is…?" "Dead, and good riddance." You say firmly, shaking your head. "All this… art… you see here? May as well be a Sunday school compared to all the depraved shit he got up to. Me? I'm nothing like him." You recall the brief flashes of urges to be cruel to Anna and Eve, to hurt them. //At least… I hope I'm not…// Yami's scowl softens… slightly. "Claire mentioned she once worked for a man with… questionable tastes. I assumed that was you. My apologies." He bows at the waist - not deeply - though his eyes never leave yours. "I'm guessing she didn't mention I was coming, did she?" "Err, I'm afraid not." You chuckle awkwardly, scratching the back of your head. "Why // are// you here, anyways?" "To spread the message of my god to those who would hear it," Yami replies, dead serious. He makes an odd gesture, but before you can inquire further he continues. "I'm looking for a place to stay for a few days, until I can find work and make enough money to move on. Claire recommended this place, though I can't see why." He scowls at the decor again.

"Umm… excuse me? What gives you the right to come barging into //my// house?" You scowl at Yami, who shoots you a withering look. "Like I said, Claire sent me." Yami scoffs, completely unintimidated. "Letting an armed stranger into your house, I can see why." "Armed?" You eye the bag strapped to his back warily. "Sent you… why?" "To be your bodyguard." You blink at his bluntness. "Uhh, what? No, no way. I don't need a bodyguard." You scoff. //What the heck would I need a bodyguard for, anyway?// "This manor is large, poorly defended, and a prime target for thieves." Yami's eyes narrow. "Would you honestly be able to fend them off by yourself? Would you be able to protect the other people living here?" He doesn't even give you a chance to respond. "No, you couldn't. If I wanted to, I could kill you right now with my bare hands… so count yourself lucky that I'm on your side." //Smug bastard…// You glare at him, but before you can respond you see Anna and Eve peeking out from around the corner. Anna looks between you and Yami uncertainly, but Eve is bouncing on her heels with barely-contained excitement. "Listen, pal." You jab your finger into Yami's chest, hard. "I don't know who the hell you think you are, but we've been getting on just fine without-" Yami isn't paying attention to you. Isn't even looking at you. Instead, he's looking over to where Eve has broken free of Anna's attempt to hold her back and is running over. "Hi~!" Eve skids to a stop, a massive grin on her face. "My name is Eve, and the scaredy-cat over there is my big sister Anna!" She clasps her hands behind her back and leans forward. "Please, excuse my sister's exuberance." Anna quickly approaches, shooting Eve a pointed warning look. "We rarely get new visitors these days, but she still has unfinished chores to do that she should be taking care of." "Aww…" Eve pouts, then turns to you with a pleading expression. "Can I stay, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>? Please? Please, please, please, pl-" Recognizing her intent to repeat the word ad infinitum until she annoys you into agreeing, Anna shoots you a pleading look of her own. "Eve, pipe down, please." She pouts but obeys, and you turn to look at your uninvited guest. "Yami, was it? Look, I don't care who sent you - I don't need a bodyguard." "We'll see…" Yami replies, his black eyes briefly devoid of any reflection. "I was going to ask to stay for a few days at least, but since it's clear I'm unwelcome…" He turns on his heel and strides out, pausing just before he exits. "May the Dark One grant you mercy, and the void of the Black Sun guide you in the coming abyss."

"I'll think about it." You sigh, shrugging. "As for a place to stay… if it's only for a few days I guess there's no harm in it. We //do// have plenty of guest rooms, after all, but-" "Don't worry, I'm no freeloader." Yami scowls. "I don't have any money to pay rent right now, but I figure there's other things I can do around here to pay my way." "Like what?" You frown, genuinely curious what this strange stranger does for a living. "Let's just say I'm someone you want on your side in a fight." Yami grins faintly, the dark, hungry expression flickering across his face again. "What are you, ex-military or something?" You look Yami up and down again. It's hard to get an idea of his physique under the layers of clothes, but you're willing to bet the bag strapped to his back holds some kind of weapon. "No, nothing like that." Yami shakes his head. "I am but a faithful servant of the Dark One, and through his blessing I have been made strong." "Okay… but what makes you think we need a guard?" "This place is poorly defended and a prime target for thieves and burglars." "You think so? We're pretty remote." You've never really paid much attention to how long it takes to drive into town, but between the twelve-foot spike-lined border wall<<if $gaia.hasFlag("met")>>, Gaia prowling the forest<</if>>, and Claire's undisclosed services you're certain the manor is better defended than it seems at first glance. "Claire's not around all the time, and all it'd take is one mistake for her to wind up dead in some alley." Yami shakes his head, "And being remote doesn't guarantee safety - just that it'd take longer for the police to arrive if something did happen. Are you willing to bet your life, and the lives of whoever else lives here, on that?" As you open your mouth to reply, you catch a glimpse of Anna and Eve watching from the entrance to one of the corridors. "It's OK, you two. Come meet our visitor." As Anna and Eve approach, you point them out. "The blond woman is Anna and the red-haired girl is Eve. Anna can be a bit… shy… but she's nice once she gets to know you. Eve is…" You glance at the small girl practically vibrating with excitement. "Eve is Eve." "They are your maids?" Yami arches an eyebrow at the uniforms. "The skirts are a bit short, aren't they?" Anna blushes at the implication, but composes herself and launches into her standard greeting for guests. "Greetings. My apologies for our lack of preparedness. As <<print $anna.callsPlayer>> mentioned, my name is Anna." "The name's Yami. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Anna." His lips quirking into a smile, Yami takes Anna's hand and plants a kiss on the back of it.

"I hate to break it to you, but we're not a hotel." That you could use the manor //as// a hotel had never occurred to you, but there are probably all sorts of licensing fees that would make it unfeasible. "There are some places in-town you could stay, though." Yami scowls at this. "You'd have me walk all the way back to that… that cesspit and stay in some cockroach-ridden hotel?" "Well… yeah." You shrug apologetically. "I suppose we could call you a taxi if you don't want to walk." "Forget it. I'll walk. So much for sacred hospitality…" Yami turns towards the door. "I'll be having words with Claire." "So will I." You reply, not much appreciating the edge of anger you here in Yami's voice. "I'm not a big fan of unannounced arrivals showing up out of nowhere… no offense." Yami scoffs, but says nothing as he strides towards the door. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I wish I could help you, but…" You sigh. "Maybe we'll see each other again?" Yami looks over his shoulder at you as he crosses the threshold, "If the gods are merciful, we won't." Before you can reply, he closes the door and is gone. Going to the window, you watch as he walks down the driveway towards the gate and climbs over it. "Huh. What an asshole." Shaking you head, you make a mental note to call Claire and give her a piece of your mind.

"You sure have a way with the ladies." You grin as Anna blushes and stammers a reply, Eve bursting into a fit of giggles. <<if $gaia.hasFlag("met") and $morichiMeet gte 7 and $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>The redhead looks up at Yami, her eyes shining with cheerful mischief and curiosity.

Eve shakes her head free of Anna's hand and scoots away before her big sister can grab her again, ducking behind you and peeking out to blow a raspberry. "You must be Eve." Yami crouches and smiles. "You should be nicer to your //oneesan//, you know." Eve glances between her sister and Yami, grinning. "Why? You're being nice enough to her already. Keep it up and you might just steal her away from <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>…" She ducks away, laughing at Anna's mortified expression. "Allow me to rephrase: You //do// have chores to attend to." Anna regains her composure and retorts sternly. "I won't have you embarrassing our guest any longer." Eve giggles as she disappears down the hall, and Anna sighs and turns to face Yami. "Sorry about her." "Heh… I've heard worse from worse." Yami grins, though his expression quickly fades as he looks around the room again. "Is the entire house decorated like this?" He mutters something under his breath in a foreign language you don't recognize. "Perhaps I could give you a tour of the rest of the manor?" Anna glances at you for approval, and you nod. "Will you be staying with us long? "Just a couple of days, If it's alright with your boss." Yami grins before his stomach abruptly growls in protest. He winces, "Sorry, it's been a few days since I had anything to eat." "A few days? Holy crap… how are you still standing?" You gape and share a glance with Anna, wondering how often she and Eve were forced to go hungry for days on end. Going a few hours without eating makes you feel weak, so you can barely imagine how Yami must feel. "Maybe start the tour with the kitchen, then. You said you //walked// all the way from town? You'll probably want to take a bath, too, then." "Yeah…" Yami's lips twitch into a faint smile before he grins. "That would be nice, thanks."

"OK, knock it off already." Annoyed by Yami's forwardness and Anna's flustered response, you pull her away from him. //Who the hell does he think he is, just flirting with her like that?// "If you're gonna be staying here, we're going to have to lay down some ground rules. Rule number 1: Don't go putting the moves on the help." "My apologies… that wasn't my intent." Yami says a little stiffly, scowling at you and not sounding sorry in the slightest. "Are there any other… ‘rules' I should be aware of?" "Ooh… someone's //jealous//~!" Eve giggles. "Lucky you, Anna, having two sexy guys fighting over you~! You're gonna make //me// jealous…" "Eve!" Anna sputters, her face turning crimson. Laughing uproariously, Eve darts off down one of the halls before Anna can grab her, calling out in a singsong voice, "Anna's in a love triangle~! Anna's in a love triangle~!" "Moreover, what gives you the right to dictate what she can and can't do?" Yami glares at you, paying no attention to Eve's antics. "She's her own person, not some slave!" "A-actually…" Anna murmurs, still blushing. "We are… Eve and I… we're slaves, and <<print $anna.callsPlayer>> is our Master." "Wha… what…?" Surprise darkens to anger so intense that Yami's glare sends a chill down your spine. "Anna, has this bastard ever hurt you or Eve?" <<if $anna.affection gte 500 and $anna.fear lte 350 and $anna.trust gte 500>>Anna shakes her head firmly. "No, not at all, and I'll kindly ask you not to speak of him that way. It's true that at first I was afraid that he was going to be like our old Master, but…" She blushes as she looks at you. "He's nothing… nothing like that. Eve and I couldn't ask for a better master than <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." "If he was so good a master," Yami scoffs, disgusted, "Then he'd have set you and your sister free immediately." You wince at this. You'd gotten so used to treating Anna as a person that you'd almost forgotten she's technically a slave bound to your will. To your surprise, Anna shakes her head. "No… if he'd done that, before I got to know him, then I probably would have gone running to the police when he'd done nothing wrong." You stare at her, astonished. "If nothing else, I'm happy now, and so is Eve. That's all that matters to me." Yami scowls for a moment, then sighs. "If you say so…" He gives you a look that makes it clear that the discussion is not over, the tension in the air palpable… but then Yami's stomach emits a gurgling growl. He grimaces, looking mildly embarrassed. "Sorry… I haven't eaten in a few days." "Wait, what? Did you just say //a few// days?" Yami nods, and you gape at him in astonishment. Skipping a single meal makes you feel queasy, so you can't imagine how skipping multiple meals in a row would feel. You glance at Anna, wondering how often your Uncle subjected her to such cruel treatments. "Err… Anna, would you mind taking Yami on a tour of the manor… maybe starting with the kitchen." As he walks past, you catch a whiff of rank odor and grimace. "Oh, and you might want to wash up, too. Anna, would you mind adding Yami's clothes to today's laundry?" "Of course, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. Right away." Anna shoots you a small smile, and Yami looks at you with a mix of surprise and gratitude. "Right this way, Yami." [[Next.|Yami Intro c]] <<else>>Anna shoots you a terrified glance and wets her lips, wilting as you look at her. She opens her mouth, but only a faint whimper escapes. "I see…" Yami growls, his teeth clenched and bared in rage. "That changes things…" In a single motion he removes the satchel from his back and opens it, pulling out a curved wooden sword. "O Dark One… hear my prayer and accept my offering to thee, meager though it may be…" "H-hey… what the hell are you doing?" You back away from Yami, whose eyes are fixed on you in a predatory stare, filled with rage and dark hunger. He lunges, moving faster than you can track, and you throw yourself to the side, the wooden sword slashing down where you'd been standing a moment before. //He's trying to kill me!// You clamber to your feet just in time to receive a diagonal strike to your shoulder, hard enough that you think you hear your collarbone snap like a twig. It's followed up by a savage right hook to the face that slams you to the floor. Before you can recover, Yami stomps down on your chest and crushes the air from your lungs. Wheezing in pain, you can hear him intoning a prayer in some foreign language as he raises the wooden sword to impale you. "Fuck… you…" You manage to gasp out, closing your eyes in anticipation of the pain. "N-no!" Anna screams, throwing herself on top of you. "D-don't!" "Anna, get out of my way." Yami hisses, his gaze flickering between you and her. "I will free you from this monster." "If you… if you kill him, then Eve… then Eve and I will be separated… sold to other Masters…" She's sobbing, her entire body shuddering. "I can't… I can't lose her! Please… she's all I have!" The seconds seem to stretch into infinity before Yami looks away and scoops up his case putting the sword back inside. "So be it…" He shoots you a scathing look of unadulterated hatred. "But you'd best pray to whatever gods you worship that we never meet again, because I will be praying to my god that we //do//, and next time I will //not// show mercy." Without waiting for a reply, he storms out of the hall, slamming the door behind him. As you slowly climb to your feet, you check your collarbone and are relieved to find it's intact. //Thank God…// Sighing with a slight wheeze, you turn to look at Anna, who's sitting on the floor and trembling.

"Anna… thanks." You whisper - all you can manage at the moment. She turns to look at you with shocked confusion. "You… saved me…" //Even if it was just to save her sister…// Coughing, you scowl down at her and she flinches, clearly expecting a beating. Instead, you reach down and pat her on the head. "Thanks." As she picks herself up, looking confused, you cough and wince in pain. "Hey… could you go get the medical supplies? I think I might have a broken rib."

You slam your foot into her chest, just below her breasts, and send her sprawling. "Fuck… I had everything under control…" You hiss, "but you just had to go and fucking tell that psycho, didn't you? Didn't you?" "I'm sorry!" Anna whimpers, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm-" "Not nearly fucking sorry enough!" You rain blows down on her as she huddles into a little ball, until her back and sides and arms are covered in bruises. "You nearly got me fucking killed!" //And she only stopped him because of Eve…// Glaring down at her, you allow a chilling smile to manifest. "Maybe I should be punishing Eve instead?" "Please…" Anna whimpers, "No… not my…. not Eve…!" She lets out a choked sob as she forces herself into a kneeling position. "Don't hurt her… I'll do anything…!"

"I'll hold you to that, then," You sneer, glaring down at her. "But if you even put one toe out of line again, I'll hurt Eve in ways that will make what my Uncle did to you and the others look gentle in comparison. Have I made myself clear, slave?" Anna's eyes widen in horror, but she forces herself to nod as she whimpers, "Y-yes, M-Master." "Good." You cough. "Now go get yourself cleaned up and bring the medical supplies.

As you peruse the library, Anna enters and waits until you turn to look at her. Checking the clock, you see a couple of hours have passed. "Well? How did the tour go?" "Well, I think." Anna pauses thoughtfully. "Yami seemed most-interested in the gym and the pool." "Have you seen Eve anywhere?" You frown. Anna's little sister seemed to have vanished after her teasing stunt. "You don't think she'd…" "No." Anna's frown matches yours, disappointment that you'd even think something like that flickering across her face. She turns on her heel, but rather than storming off she sighs, a wistful expression on her face. "I wonder if more people will be coming to live here." She's speaking quietly, more to herself than you. "Heh. Maybe we could put all those guest rooms to good use and turn this place into a hotel?" You grin at Anna's shocked expression. "I'm just joking. There's probably all sorts of paperwork involved and I wouldn't want to burden you any more than you already are." Anna chuckles, a wry expression on her face. "Thank-you for your consideration," You enjoy it when she's relaxed like this, when she's happy. For a moment, she looks contented. Not wanting to spoil her good mood, you slide around her and head towards the door. "I'll go check on our guest and see how he's settling in." Anna moves, opening her mouth to volunteer, but you shake your head. "Put your feet up and relax a little." You grin and point dual finger-guns at her. "I got this." As you approach the bathing room, you hesitate at the door. //Should I…?// Shrugging, you open the door and step into the bathing room. After all, it's not like Yami has anything you haven't seen before either in the mirror or in the locker room. Inhaling the humid air, you glance around at the polished marble floor and the hanging ferns and vines. Yami is kneeling in an alcove, his back to you. Yami is butt-naked, kneeling before the statuette and giving you a good look at him from behind. While not ripped like a bodybuilder, his back, arms, and legs are athletically muscular. A small black object sits on the bench in front of him, though at this distance you can't make its details out. Feeling you're observing something you shouldn't, you conceal yourself as best you can and watch as Yami genuflects before the small statuette. You're tempted to get closer, but you're not sure how he'll react to your intrusion. As you watch, Yami prostrates himself, his voice echoing slightly as he utters a prayer. //I wonder what he's saying…?// Yami eventually sits up and stands, stretching and leaning back before reaching up and massaging his shoulder while cracking his neck. As he turns towards the pool, however, you jaw drops as you see that Yami is missing a particular part of the male anatomy. // He… he's a girl?!// [[Call out to Yami.|Yami Intro c-1]] [[Remain silent and watch.|Yami Intro c-2]] [[Exit|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

"Hey, Yami!" You call out, hoping to make it seem like you just entered the room. "How are you settling-" You stop abruptly, hoping you seem surprised. "Oh… I'm sorry, I-" "Haven't you heard of knocking?" Yami snaps, glaring at you - though she makes no effort to cover herself and seems more angry than embarrassed. She continues towards the pool, stopping at the edge with her hands on her slender hips. "Sorry, I…" You make an effort to focus on her face, but your eyes keep being drawn downwards. "I just wanted to check up on you and see how you're settling in." "That's all?" Her dark eyes search your face. "And that couldn't have waited until I was done?" "I suppose… I just… I thought you were a guy." You admit, sounding sheepish. "And that makes it alright to just come barging in?" Yami snorts, a mix of derision and amusement. "Typical man…" Crouching at the edge of the pool, she slides in and begins washing herself. [[Can't look away|Yami Intro c-3]] [[Look away|Yami Intro c-4]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>><<set $yami.fear += 25>><<set $yami.trust -= 25>>

You can't look away. While her figure is nothing remarkable - comparing her breasts to sunny side-up eggs would be generous - her rock solid abs speak of a life of intense physical activity and combat. //Washboard abs… washboard chest…// You almost chuckle, but the look she shoots you causes the laugh to die in your throat. Yami makes no move to cover herself, but her eyes narrow as your gaze drifts from her chest to the small tuft of hair between her legs. You feel your dick start to engorge, straining against the waistband of your pants. "What are you looking at?" "You." You wince. Your erection must be siphoning all the blood from your brain. "I know I shouldn't, it's just… this //is// my house, and this //is// a communal bath. You're a girl and I'm a guy, and-" "I'm a man, I can't help being a pervert?" Yami's tone is mocking as she wades towards you, scowling. "I've killed people for less, you know." She stops in the middle of the pool, her eyes searching yours. "But if this //is// just an honest mistake, I'm willing to show you mercy just this once." //Where does she get off, threatening me in my own home?// You bite your tongue to avoid saying something to anger her any further, searching for a change of subject. "I heard you chanting something before I came in. What were you doing?" "Praying to my god." Yami sinks down into the water until it covers her shoulders. "Asking for guidance in these difficult times." She dunks her head, raking her fingers through her hair to comb out dirt and grime. Surfacing for air, she dunks herself again and then climbs out of the pool. Your eyes are drawn to her ass as she pulls her legs free, her vulva visible between her legs. "Keep staring and I swear I'll gouge your eyes out with a rusty spoon."

"Hey, this is //my// house!" You snap before you can stop yourself, glaring right back at her. "What the fuck gives you the right to come in here, say you want to work for me, and then go and threaten me in my own home?!" "The fact that you're being a pervert." Yami cooly replies, standing up. "I don't know if you're used to doing this with Anna or - gods forbid - Eve, but I'm not them. I'm not someone you can just intimidate or boss around or threaten." She walks towards you and you take an involuntary step back. "Fucking bitch-" You slap her, snapping her head to the side. As the red imprint of your palm forms on her cheek, she punches you hard in the chest. You exhale sharply, but anger keeps you upright and swinging, catching her in the collarbone with a left hook. While you're no martial artist, it becomes apparent that she's not particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat herself, fighting with the finesse - or lack thereof - of a street brawler. //A split lip and a black eye are a small price to pay for putting this bitch in her place…// You spit blood onto the floor as she catches you in the face with a jab and punch her, wincing in pain as your fist impacts the solid muscles of her abdomen. But she feels it too, letting out a grunt of pain before ramming her knee into your diaphragm. You double over, the air driven from your lungs, and let out a groan of pain as she drives her elbow into your shoulder blade. "Not… done… yet…" You gasp, pulling yourself upright and sucking in air through the pain. Lack of training aside, she's clearly an experienced brawler, her arms positioned to protect her head. Her expression isn't one of anger or even bloodlust, but cold contempt and disgust. [[Fight dirty.|Yami Intro c-8]] [[Punch her lights out!|Yami Intro c-9]] [[That's enough!|Yami Intro c-10]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>><<set $yami.fear += 25>><<set $yami.trust -= 25>>

You can't beat her in a straight fight. That much is apparent. Sure, you //could// beat each other to a bloody pulp, but in the end she'd come out on top through dint of sheer combat experience. //At least I'll go down swinging…// You spit blood, and as you circle each other you catch sight of the little black statuette on the bench. //On second thought…// Yami's eyes narrow as she notices yours move. "Don't you dare…" She hisses, baring her teeth. She lunges, but you're ready and drop down, knocking her feet out from under her and sending her splashing into the pool. By the time she pulls herself out, you've already crossed the room and are holding the statuette in your hands. It's surprisingly heavy, made of some sort of black stone and carved in the shape of some sort of dinosaur or dragon. The statuette's little red eyes seem to sparkle as you examine it. "Ugly little fucker, aren't you?" Yami looks stricken, her expression one of horror. "Put… that… down…" She hisses, rage and terror warring across her face. "You… you have no right…!" "This eyesore?" You hold the statuette up and grin despite the pain. "Maybe I should smash it instead?" It would probably damage the marble floor more than the statuette, but it's worth it for the expression of horror and despair that covers her face. "Not so fast! One wrong move, and Barney's edgelord cousin here goes the way of Humpty Dumpty." Yami shudders, holding herself; her expression making it clear that you holding the statuette is all that's keeping her from going berserk. "Tch… fine! You win. I'll go… just give it back… please…" She spits out the last word with biting contempt, clearly forcing herself to say it. [[Give it back to her if she leaves.|YamiIntroLeave]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>><<set $yami.fear += 25>><<set $yami.trust -= 25>>

As the adrenaline pumping through your veins fades, so does the sense of triumph. // What am I even doing…?// You glance between Yami and the statuette, the look of desperation on her face palpable. //This thing… does it really mean so much to her? Why?// You step towards her, then hesitate. //If I just give it back she'll kill me…// "I'll give it back to you… if you promise to leave here immediately. No more fighting. No more bloodshed. Dry off, get dressed, and get out. I'll return it to you then, and only then. Deal?" She grits her teeth, clearly debating just rushing at you and beating you to death with it, but finally closes her eyes and nods - her trembling, clenched fists betraying her rage. "Good girl." You leave the room, giving her a wide berth so she won't attack you. You half expect her to come charging out after you, and let out a sigh of relief when you reach the entry hall. Exiting the manor, you deposit the statuette in the driveway and return in time to see her naked ass disappear down the stairs to the laundry room. She reappears fully-dressed a few moments later, a wooden sword in her hands. "O Dark One, forgive me for allowing this heathen to touch your sacred figure. I offer you his flesh and blood in penance-" "If anything happens to me I gave Anna orders to run that thing over!" You cut her off as she raises the wooden sword in a combat stance. She blanches, her desire to kill you warring with her fear of it getting damaged. She runs to the window and peers out. Turning to shoot you a look of murderous hate, she runs out the door without another word and you quickly slam and lock it behind her. A few seconds later the door handle rattles, a fist pounding against it. //That was close…// You walk to the window to see if she's gone and recoil in horror as you see her glaring at you through it, close enough that her breath fogs the glass. She raises her wooden sword and brings it down as hard as she can against the window… and it bounces off. She furiously hammers the blade against the glass, until finally, thankfully, she gives up. Panting, she turns and walks down the driveway, climbing over the gate and disappearing. You let out the breath you hadn't realized you were holding in a relieved sigh. //I hope I never see that crazy bitch again…// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 50>><<set $yami.fear += 50>><<set $yami.trust -= 25>> <<run $yami.addFlag("rejected")>>

You throw a straight punch at her face, but she sidesteps, catches your arm, and pivots, slinging you over her hip and tossing you headfirst into the pool. You narrowly avoid breaking your neck at the bottom of the pool, flailing in a blind panic before surfacing. "You… you almost killed me!" Yami is retrieving her statuette, ignoring you. "Get your ass out of my house!" You sputter as you pull yourself out. "You fucking psycho!" "Fine. You're not the sort of person I'd want to work for anyway…" Yami cradles her statuette like a baby as she walks towards the door, not even bothering to towel off. "But if I get word that anything has happened to the girls that work here because of you…" She pauses at the door and shoots you a glare full of killing intent, "You're dead." She slams the door as she leaves, leaving you standing, sopping wet and more than a little chilled. //No right! She had no right to come into my house asking to work for me, and then fucking threaten me! Fuck her!// Indignantly you grab a towel and dry yourself off as best you can. By the time you finish, Yami is gone. Anna looks shocked as she stands in the entry hall, staring out the door. "What happened? Yami just came, took her clothes, and left!" "She threatened m- wait, you knew she was a girl?!" You gape at Anna. "Yes… didn't you?" Anna winces as she eyes your bruises, piecing together what must've happened. "Well, she's gone now." "Yeah, and good riddance," You scowl at the door. "Get the medical supplies, will you? Oh, and remind me to call Claire and give her a piece of my mind about sending crazy strangers to my door!"

"OK, OK, I give!" You hold up your hands in a gesture of surrender, backing away towards the door. "You win!" "The only victory in combat lies in your enemy's death," Yami's gaze is shark-like as she stares at you. "No mercy, no surrender." "Isn't that a bit harsh?" "It is the way of the world." Yami retorts, "The weak are preyed upon by the strong, and can only grow stronger by feeding on those weaker than themselves." For a moment you think she's going to attack you again, but she straightens and turns away from you. "See to it that I don't consider you an enemy." As you watch, she moves over to the alcove where the little black statuette is sitting and towels off. "I don't think I'll be working here. Guess I'll have to find alternative employment in-town."

"Hang on…" You step towards her, wincing as your adrenaline starts to wear off. "I said some pretty mean shit to you, and that was out of line. Heck, if I hadn't walked in on you none of this would've happened. Sorry." Yami pauses and turns to look at you, her expression one of begrudging contemplation. "I suppose… I also reacted poorly…" She shakes her head. "I've always had a bad temper. I… hope I didn't hurt you." You can't tell whether she's being sincere or not, the dark look flickering into her eyes. "Nah, I deserved it." You grin. "Serves me right, eh?" Yami chuckles, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Your technique could use work." "Maybe you could teach me some time?" The offer is half-joking. //The heck is she talking about? I got a few good blows in…// "If we ever meet again…" She pauses, frowning. "You mean… you're still offering me a job?" //I hope I'm not making a mistake here…// "If anything, this-" you gesture at your bruises "-proves you're good in a fight." She opens her mouth to respond, but you hold up your hands. "I should be going to make sure Eve isn't slacking off again. See you at dinner?" She nods, still looking surprised, and you exit the room. [[Next.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

"Yeah…" You scratch the back of your head, half-expecting your fingers to come away bloody. "Try the pub - you'd make one heck of a bouncer." "Thanks for the suggestion," Yami sighs, toweling herself off. "I'll be sure to look into it." Your eyes are drawn to her as she bends over to dry off her legs and crotch, but you make sure to avert your gaze before she turns around. "I'll see myself out, then." "See you around, maybe," It's a half-hearted farewell, but given that you were just beating the crap out of each other it's all you can really manage. Her statuette tucked under her arm, Yami pauses as she reaches the door and turns to look at you. "May the Dark One grant you mercy, and the void of the Black Sun guide you in the coming abyss." You frown as she leaves. //What the hell does that even mean?// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 2 }>> <<run $yami.addFlag("rejected")>>

"Look… I'm sorry." You make a Herculean effort to avert your gaze. "I didn't mean to make you angry or offend you or anything. I really just wanted to see how you were settling in. Can we, . . . forget this ever happened? Sort of start over?" Yami scowls at you, then inhales deeply and sighs. "fine, I'll forgive you this once… but don't do it again." She pulls herself out onto the edge of the pool, sitting with her legs in the water and her head tilted back, looking up at you. "Do you do this sort of thing with Anna? With Eve?" She stands and walks towards you, her gaze locked onto yours. She's close enough now that you could reach out and touch her. Your fingers twitch as the impulse crosses your mind… [[Do it.|YamiGrope]] [[Don't do it.|YamiNoGrope]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Your hand moves up and caresses her ribs, settling atop one of her breasts. She blinks, then shoots you a look of disappointment and disgust. Before you can process this, her expression becomes one of anger and her foot snaps up and into your crotch. You let out a shrill yelp as she crushes your testicles and erection, then grabs your arm and pivots, slinging you over her hip and tossing you headfirst into the pool. You narrowly avoid breaking your neck at the bottom of the pool, flailing in a blind panic before surfacing. It hurts to move, but if you stop you'll drown. Pulling yourself out is a Herculean effort, but you finally collapse on the floor, unable to do much more than whimper. Yami is retrieving her statuette, ignoring you. "You… fucking… psycho!" You manage to wheeze, "You… you almost killed me! Get… your ass… out of my house!" "Fine. You're not the sort of person I'd work for anyway…" Yami cradles her statuette like a baby as she walks towards the door, not even bothering to towel off. "But if I get word that anything has happened to the girls that work here because of you…" She pauses at the door and shoots you a glare full of killing intent, "You're dead." She slams the door as she leaves, leaving you lying on the floor, sopping wet and more than a little chilled. //Fuck her! Coming on to me like that and then fucking…// Your crotch sends pain flaring through your entire body, and it's all you can do to avoid sobbing. //If she fucking ruptured something, I'm gonna…// It seems you spend an eternity lying on the floor in agonizing pain, but eventually you're able to gingerly move. Crawling, you make your way over to the door and pull yourself upright, leaning against the wall as you stagger down the corridor towards the entry hall. Yami is gone, Anna standing by the door and not even looking at you. "She… she told me what you did…" There's no anger in her voice, just a deep sorrow and pain. "That you… talked… in the bathing room…" She shuffles self-consciously from foot to foot, her unease palpable. "Hey! She came on to m- wait, you knew she was a girl?!" You gape at Anna, who doesn't reply. "Well, good riddance," You scowl at the door. "Remind me to call Claire and give her a piece of my mind about sending crazy strangers to my door."

You clench your fist at your side, digging your fingernails into your palm. Yami pauses, an expression akin to… respect… briefly crossing her face before she brushes past you. "You can put that sorry excuse for an erection away." She smirks over her shoulder at you. "Pro tip: I'm not into boys." "You… you're a lesbian?" You blink, suddenly embarrassed as she rolls her eyes and nods. "Oh." Despite the revelation, your erection intensifies and you can't help but picture her and Anna with their legs locked together, moans of pleasure echoing as their vaginas grind against each other… you shake your head to clear it. "Typical man…" Yami mutters, rolling her eyes as she grabs a towel and begins to dry herself off. "Whatever you're picturing, don't. Leave me out of whatever depraved fantasies run though your head." "Hey! My fantasies aren't depraved!" Yami snorts at this as she grabs a towel. "Well, no more depraved than anyone else's!" Her reply is muffled as she dries her face off. "You know, for someone who doesn't like guys you're not showing a lot of modesty around me." "No, I suppose not," Yami shrugs. "Why should I? I have nothing to be embarrassed about. If people want to look, that's their issue." "Well… a lot of guys would take a woman being naked around them as an invitation to… you know…" You form a loop with your pointer finger and thumb, then jab the pointer and middle fingers of your other hand in and out. The smile on Yami's face doesn't even come close to reaching the chilling darkness of her eyes. "Let me make something perfectly clear to you, <<print $player.firstName>>. I am //not// someone you want to piss off. Any man who tries to lay a hand on me - yourself included - forfeits their life." You find yourself being drawn into her pitch-black eyes, like an abyss without beginning or end. "If you ever try anything with me, I'll cut off your penis and make you eat it. Do you understand me?" "I didn't say I would-" "Did I stutter?!" Yami snaps. For a moment you fear she's going to carry out her threat, her glare radiating what can only be described as murderous intent. "No…" You're taken aback by how intimidating this naked, ostensibly defenseless woman can be. "Good." Yami turns away and resumes toweling herself off, wiping off the bottom of her feet. "There. Much better." She scoops up her statuette and gently cradles it against her chest, turning to head towards the door. "I'll see you at supper, then?" "Sure…" You swallow dryly, watching her leave. //I hope she doesn't rub off on Anna…// Your subsiding erection twitches at the mental image conjured that lewd pun, and you scowl down at it. "Hush, you." With a sigh, you decide to spend some time in the sauna. // Need to relax a little. This is going to be… fun.// [[Next.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $yami.affection += 25>><<set $yami.fear -= 25>><<set $yami.trust += 25>>

You hold your hands up in a placating gesture. "OK, OK. I get the message. I'm not wanted here." You back away as Yami climbs out of the pool, watching you warily. "I can see you value your privacy." "Most people do." Yami's scowl softens slightly into a disapproving frown. "If you just wanted to check up on me, why not just wait until I was finished?" You frown at the question. //Why didn't I?// "I… don't know." You shake your head. "I guess… I just figured it wouldn't be a big deal. Sorry." "You've already said that a bunch of times," Yami rolls her eyes, but her anger is diminishing. "Just… be more mindful in the future." "Will do. Can we just pretend this encounter never happened, start over fresh?" You offer her a hopeful smile, and to your surprise she //almost// smiles back and nods. "Thanks. I should probably go see how the others' chores are coming along. See you at dinner?" "Sure," Yami nods. "I'm just about finished here, anyways, so I'll perform a preliminary perimeter sweep if that's alright with you, boss." Nodding as you exit the bathing room, you let out a sigh of relief. //That could have gone poorly…// Straightening, you spot Eve sneaking towards the front door - clearly neglecting her chores again - and roll your eyes before setting off to get her back to work. [[Next.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>>

Averting your gaze, you glance at the statuette. "What is that thing?" "That… is my god," Yami says with a mix of pride and reverence. As you walk towards it to get a better look, she calls out, her tone alarmed. "Don't touch it! It's forbidden for non-believers!" //That just makes me want to touch it more…// You flash her a roguish grin. "Don't worry, I'll be careful." "Ugh…" Yami climbs out of the pool with surprising speed and strides towards you, trailing water in her wake. "I'm serious. If you touch it, I'll have to kill you." From the look on her face, it's immediately apparent she's not joking. //What… what kind of Satanic bullshit is this…?// You glance between her glaring face and the statuette. On closer inspection, the statuette is six inches tall, carved of a solid piece of black stone, and depicts a strange dragon-like monster sitting upright with its tail curled around its legs. Red gems are inlaid into the head to represent eyes, and the more you look into them the more you get the creepy sensation that it's looking back. Yami kneels next to you, diverting your attention. "To say his true name is forbidden, but we call him the Dark One. The Umbral Wyrm." She gazes at the statuette with a look of utter reverence that you find unnerving. "He is imprisoned, so we of the faith offer him sacraments to strengthen him so that he might break free." She caresses the statuette's head with her thumb, almost lovingly. //Someone's been drinking the Kool-Aid…// You suppress the urge to roll your eyes. "Do I even want to know what'll happen if this god of yours breaks free?" "Mmm… some things, only we of the faith are privy to." Yami stands and stretches, still smiling. "If you wish to learn more…" "Thanks, but no thanks," You wince as she frowns at you. "Look, no offence, your… religion… sounds perfectly nice and all, but it's just not for me." She scoffs at this, scowling. "It's a nice carving. Where'd you get it?" Yami doesn't respond, but a look of indescribable sadness comes over her. "Sorry… I didn't mean to-" "No, no it's fine." She stands stiffly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get back to my bath." Without waiting for a response, she scoops up the statuette and gets back into the pool, depositing it on the bottom in the dead centre. Cross-legged, she submerges herself so that she's sitting on the bottom of the pool. //OK…// More than a little weirded out, you turn to leave. //I wonder what she meant by sacraments?// [[Next.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $yami.affection += 50>><<set $yami.fear -= 25>><<set $yami.trust += 50>>

You manage to stifle your gasp and duck out of sight before you're spotted, peeking out and watching as Yami crosses the floor to the pool. Her breasts are small - calling them an A-cup would be generous - and given her boyish figure and rough attitude it's not surprising you mistook her for a boy. //I wonder if Anna knew…?// You make a mental note to ask her later, watching as Yami cannonballs into the pool, sending a plume of water into the air. He - no, //she// - begins swimming laps, kicking off the wall of the pool. You peek out from your hiding place and watch as Yami streaks back and forth. She moves quickly, but without much in the way of technique. After about fifty laps she stops and stands upright, leaning against the edge of the pool as she pants to catch her breath. As she wipes water from her forehead she pauses, and for a moment you're afraid she's spotted you. Instead, she stands and walks back to the alcove where she left her statuette, siting next to it and stretching her arms and legs. Picking up the statuette, she walks over to the sauna and opens the door, peering inside. Steam wafts out through the door and she rubs her arms before stepping inside. [[Undress and go swimming.|Yami Intro c-11]] [[Join her in the sauna for some… fun.|Yami Intro c-12]] [[Leave before she comes back out.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

As the door closes behind her, you step out of your hiding place. Undressing, you fold your clothes and leave them on one of the benches. You consider leaving your underwear on, but it is a bath after all. And if she comes out… well, you can always pass it off as having just come in. Slipping into the pool, you let the warm water wash over you and begin a breast stroke across the widest diameter. You only get three laps in before you hear the door of the sauna open and see Yami peering out. You stand up and wave to her. "Hey, Yami! I didn't know you were still in here!" It's a lie, but you remember the dark look in her eyes and don't want to anger her by admitting you were spying on her. "How's the sauna?" "Fine." Yami replies tersely, regarding you with a mixture of surprise and disappointment. "I thought you were… someone else." She frowns, her mouth open slightly as something clicks. "So //you// were the one spying on me…" //Shit… busted…// "What? No, I just got in here," You protest innocently. "Maybe Anna-" "Don't… lie… to me…" Yami steps out of the sauna, glaring down at you as she comes closer. "If I'm going to work for you, there needs to be a foundation of mutual respect and trust… and right now you're not doing anything to foster that." "I'm not." You protest, backing away as she reaches the edge of the pool. It //is// technically true that you just got into the pool, after all. "I just wanted to swim, and I didn't see you in here…" "O Dark One, grant me patience and tolerance, that I may //not// kill this fool where he stands…" Yami mutters under her breath, massaging her temples. You blanch at this, but before you can protest she opens her eyes. "If it //was// just a simple, honest mistake, I'd be willing to forgive you… but you're not only a pervert but a liar."

"Alright…" You sigh, "I… I admit it. I was spying on you… but that's not what I came here to do. I just wanted to see how you were settling in, but then I saw you and…" "Let me guess, base instinct took over," Yami shakes her head, sighing. "If you were in my position, in the same room as a frankly attractive woman who could hurt you, would you have done any different?" You frown as Yami's scowl breaks… and she begins to laugh. "You… find me… attractive?" Yami speaks between chuckles, then regains her composure. "No. Not in a million years." Straightening, she shakes her head. "Maybe I wouldn't, but I try not to put myself in this sort of situation, and it wouldn't be as much of a problem for me even if I did." "Why not?" You frown, puzzling over Yami shutting you down. "For starters we just met a few hours ago… but the main reason is because I'm a lesbian." "Oh." You blink at her, then make a point of averting your gaze. "Sorry… I didn't know. How could I have known? To… to be honest, I actually thought you were a guy until…" You gesture at her naked body. "Sorry…" "You should have told me the truth from the start." Yami's tone is stern and warning. "I would have been angry, but willing to forgive. Since you lied to me…" The predatory expression flickers across her face, and she cradles her forehead with her palm, grimacing as though in pain. "You //were// honest, though… so my forgiveness can be earned." Before you can thank her she walks around the pool towards the door, pausing to look over her shoulder. "Do this again, and you will find my price for atonement steeper than you can afford. Enjoy your swim, boss." The last thing you see of her before the door shuts is her empty dark eyes, glaring at you. Shuddering, you sink deeper into the pool, but the water that once seemed so soothingly warm now feels freezing.

//Maybe she'd like some company…// Grinning to yourself, you undress and wrap a towel around your waist, making your way over to the sauna. As you open the door, you see her sitting on one of the benches at the far end with her eyes closed and the statuette between her legs, blocking your view of her pussy and furthering the impression that she's just a pretty guy. "Hey, Yami, mind if I join you?" "Yes." Her retort is both blunt and as cutting as a knife. Water beads on her skin and drips down her body, "I like my privacy. Please leave." //My house, my rules.// Grinning, you ignore her and settle down closer to the door, blocking her escape. "So, what do you think of the manor?" "I //was// considering staying, but…" Yami opens one eye and looks at you pointedly. "If my boss is going to be this obnoxious, I might be better off finding employment elsewhere." You chuckle at this. "If you think //I'm// obnoxious, wait until you see how most of the people in town are." "At least there won't be a shortage of sacraments…" Yami mutters, more to herself than to you. She's looking down at the statuette, which - now that you get a good look at it - depicts some sort of strange dinosaur or dragon. "You know, the town can be a pretty rough place…" You edge closer to her as you speak. "You'd probably be better off staying here." "I like it rough…" Yami's eyes narrow as you smirk at her. "That's not what I meant and you know it." "Isn't it, though?" You continue to edge closer, her annoyed expression bleeding into anger. "If I’m going to work for you, there needs to be a foundation of mutual respect and trust… and right now you’re not doing anything to foster that." Both Yami’s eyes are open. "I’ll say this once: get out, or you’ll get hurt."

//She’s bluffing. She wouldn’t dare.// You smirk at her. "Threatening your employer is // not// how you apply for a job, you know…" You grin suggestively as you slide even closer. "Just think of it as a job interview… I like to know //all// my employee's talents…" "I’m not threatening you, I’m warning you…" Yami’s eyes are empty, cold - like looking into a black hole. "I am //not// someone you want to piss off." "Come on, babe, don’t be like that." You lay your hand on her thigh, feeling the muscle beneath her skin as you slide it closer to her crotch. "I thought you said you liked it rough? Just relax and enjoy-" "Stop…!" Yami grabs your wrist, her grip firm but not painful as she pushes your hand off. "Don’t... I said don’t touch me!" Her eyes suddenly blaze with rage, her grip tightening painfully as she bares her teeth in a predatory smile. //W-what the-// You recoil - or at least try to: her grip is like a vice. "Stop! Let go! Yami, you’re hurting me…!" "You were going to hurt //me//, weren’t you?" The vicious grin on her face widens and she laughs mockingly. "Turnabout’s fair play, ‘boss’. I warned you not to piss me off…" She leans in close to whisper in your ear, her dark eyes filling your vision. "If you //ever// touch me like that again, I’ll cut that pathetic excuse for a penis off and make you //eat// it." She lets go of your hand and you fall back against the bench, Yami looming over you. "Am I clear?" "Wha-" "Did I stutter?!" She snarls, and for a moment you’re afraid she’ll carry out the threat then and there. Then she shudders, clutching her head and gritting her teeth. You back away from her until you’re on the opposite side of the room, massaging your wrist and watching in bemused horror. "Dammit…" She glares at you one final time before slumps to the bench, resting her elbows on her knees and cradling her head. "I warned you… I warned you not to…" "What… the fuck… was that?" You stare at her in shock. "My god’s gift…" Yami whispers, looking down at the statuette next to her from you between her fingers. Her eyes are dark and cold, but the rage and bloodlust are gone — or at least suppressed. "It’s why I warned you not to make me angry: everything just goes red… and things die." She licks her lips, shuddering. "It’s why I warned you not to make me angry…" "You… you almost killed me!" You massage the bruises on your wrist. //Some kind of… I dunno… schizophrenia? Multiple personality disorder?// "Can… can you control it?" "Somewhat…" Yami whispers, "It’s why I’m so good at fighting…" An echo of the predatory smile flickers across her face. "So good at killing…" //This girl’s nuts… I’ve let a fucking schizophrenic psychopath in here!// "Look… if you’re… just going to snap and attack people…" You pause, eying her warily, "I can’t let you stay here if you’re a danger to myself and everyone else." "It… it doesn’t work like that." She scowls at you. "I only lose control when I’m angry or worked up about something. Case in point, I told you to stop and you didn’t listen." "Maybe lead with ‘I go berserk and kill people when I’m pissed off’ next time?" You grimace as she lets out a short, bitter laugh. "Not funny. I actually thought you were going to kill me." "So did I…" She shakes her head, sounding confused. "But I didn’t." She looks up at you, frowning. "I guess you’re expecting me to say ‘Sorry if I hurt you.’ or something like that… but why should I be? I told you to stop and you didn’t. You’re lucky I didn’t at least break your arm…" While you’ve never really thought of yourself as the world’s gift to women, the rejection still stings a little. “Am I really that bad” "Do I really need to spell things out for you?" Yami scowls. "Ugh… For starters, we literally just met a few hours ago and I’m not that kind of girl. But more importantly… I’m a lesbian." "Oh." You blink for a moment as you process this. //It all makes sense now.// "But seriously, next time maybe open with ‘I’m a woman, I’m gay, and if you piss me off I’ll pull a Lizzy Borden on you.’? That way there won’t be any misunderstandings." "How about next time //you// don’t go barging in on someone in the bath and assaulting them when they tell you to stop?" She inhales deeply to calm herself, scowling. "I’ll apologize for attacking you if you apologize for attacking me. Deal?" //If the alternative is being castrated and force-fed my own dick…// "Sorry… I shouldn’t have done that to you. Next time I’ll be more careful." "Hmm…" Her eyes narrow as she looks up at you suspiciously. "And I suppose I’m sorry too…" You can almost hear her thinking "Not sorry!", but before you can say anything she stands up. "But if this happens again I won’t hesitate to defend myself." The dark hunger flickers in her gaze. "I’ll go on patrol and see if I can find something to vent my pent-up rage on, maybe get a sacrament in before dinner. Sound good to you, boss?" "Uh…. sure, I guess." You hesitate as Yami eyes you hungrily. "Just as long as it’s not me or any of the girls here." "Fine…" She scoops up her statuette and turns to leave, looking at you over her shoulder as she reaches the door of the room, her eyes alight with barely-suppressed bloodlust. "I’ll see you at dinner, then." [[Next.|Yami Intro d]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>><<set $yami.fear += 25>><<set $yami.trust -= 25>>

"Sorry… it was just a prank, bro." You edge away from her, though the glare on her face persists. "You don't know what you're missing, though…" "Don't know, don't care. Now for the last time… get out!" Yami actually shouts, standing up and giving you a clear view of her pussy. "Did I stutter?!" She snaps, glaring at you. "Get out!" "No… you get out!" You shove her back as she looms over you, knocking her back onto the bench. "This is my house, dammit! I am the Master and I can do whatever I want to my property, and if you don't like it you can pack your bags and get your ass out!" "So be it," Yami growls, snatching up her statuette and walking across the opposite side of the sauna. "I'll be sure to let Claire know how much of a disgusting pig you are." "Go right ahead. See if I care." You sneer, flipping her the bird with both hands. Her lips curling into a snarl, she turns and storms out of the sauna, leaving you to settle back, relax, and take care of your throbbing erection. When you exit the bathing room, Anna is dusting the banister. She shoots you a quick glance of subdued dismay. "Yami left. She seemed… angry…" She ventures hesitantly. "Did something happen?" "That's none of your… you knew." You scoff, scowling at her, and she withers under your gaze. "Next time maybe let me know?" "S-sorry, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>… I'll do better…" Anna cringes, tears in her eyes. "See to it that you do." You turn to head up the stairs. "Let me know when dinner is ready."

Dinner is excellent as always. Roast chicken and mashed potatoes with a side of greens. The addition of Yami at the table means there's not as much to go around as usual, but she eats with gusto and then thanks Anna and Eve for the delicious meal, leaving to go on patrol. The sun sets and the manor goes dark and quiet, but Yami still doesn't return. Anna and Eve have gone to bed, but you can't sleep. Every time you come close to nodding off, you hear *something* that jolts you awake. This time you're certain you heard something moving in the hallway, and you roll out of bed and peek out the door to see Anna, who looks half-asleep herself. You almost let out a relieved laugh as you step out into the hallway. "Hey…" You barely suppress a yawn. "Can't sleep?" Anna stares at you, more asleep than awake, and her expression becomes one of horror and fear. She staggers back and trips, toppling towards the stairs. "Anna!" You lunge after her and grab her hand, hauling her upright. She flails at you, sobbing, and you gently stroke her hair. "Shh… It's OK. I've got you… It's me. It's just me…" Gradually her sobbing subsides, and she clings to you, burying her face in your chest. "You were having a nightmare…" "Thought… you were //him//…" Anna whimpers. "I… I thought you were…" She starts to sob again and you resume stroking her head and neck. "What are you doing up?" You ask, wiping away a tear with your thumb. "Thirsty…" she mumbles, yawning and providing you with a clear look of the inside of her mouth. You offer Anna your arm and support her as the two of you descend the stairs, but as you reach the bottom she trips over her own feet and stumbles. Before she can fall and hurt herself, you catch her arm and steady her. You open your mouth to chide her to be more careful, but the feeling of your arm being squished between her breasts distracts you. Anna shows no signs of wanting to let go or even noticing the intimate contact. [[Cop a feel.|Yami Into d-1]] [[Don't react.|Yami Intro d-2]] [[Pull away.|Yami Into d-3]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

The hand supporting Anna's waist ghosts up along the fabric of her nightgown to knead her breast, causing her to stiffen against you. For a moment you think she'll pull away, but instead she lets out a soft moan, her nipple hardening under your ministrations. As you roll it between your fingers she begins to pant and shudder, rubbing her legs together. Your penis is fully erect, and you consider taking advantage of Anna right there in the entry hall. Bending her over against the door and railing her, propping her on the stairs… the kinky possibilities are endless. You grind against her from behind, jabbing her pussy through the layers of fabric, and Anna lets out a whimper. //Not enough… I need more…// You reach down to free your raging stiffy, to hike up her nightgown… and then you notice the fear in Anna's eyes. Part of you wants to keep going, to make her scream so loudly that she wakes up the whole manor, but you struggle against it and let go. Anna crumples to the floor, and you stare at your hand, still able to feel the impression of her nipple against your palm. Lying on her back, Anna numbly spreads her legs and closes her eyes. "I'll do anything… just don't… please, Master, don't hurt Eve…" "No." You whisper, half to yourself and half to her. "This isn't… this isn't what I want. Anna… Anna, wake up! You're having a bad dream!" Anna's eyes open, fear tinged with confusion. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…" you reach down and take her hand, pulling her to her feet. She eyes you warily, more awake now but still half-asleep. "Let's just get something to drink and forget this ever happened, OK?" Anna nods slowly, but you get the impression that - even half asleep as she is - she won't forget this, and will be slow to forgive it if she ever does. [[Next.|Yami Intro d-4]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $yami.affection -= 25>>

As Anna doesn't seem to notice your arm's awkward placement, you decide to do your best to ignore it too. Sighing, you crouch in front of her. "Climb on, I'll carry you." For a moment you think she's too half-asleep to understand, but you feel her press herself against your back and hike up her nightgown enough for you to hook her your arms around her knees. If anything, this is even worse. Not only are her breasts pressed against your back, but you can feel her warm breath on the back of your neck and her pussy is up against your ass, leaving a damp spot. You want so badly to just set her down and take her… but with a Herculean display of self-control you manage to reign in your base urges and carry her through the entry hall and into the dining room. You bump into a few chairs along the way, but finally reach the entrance of the kitchen, depositing Anna next to the sink. "OK, we're here." [[Next.|Yami Intro d-4]] Submitted by Asura<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You pull away as you feel your dick twitch, shifting so that you're still supporting her without her chest being smushed against you. "Sorry." You mutter, half to you and half to your penis. You wait as your erection subsides, Anna leaning against you. "Are you alright?" "Mmm… just tired." Anna murmurs. You gently kiss her forehead, and she turns to look at you. For a moment you consider kissing her, but shake your head. "Let's get something to drink and go back to bed, then." Anna nods, smiling faintly.

You pour Anna a glass of water, worried she might drop something in her sleepy stupor. She drains the glass and puts it in the sink, and you hear the lock of the manor's back door click. You jump as the handle turns and the door swings open to reveal a man in a ski-mask, who steps into the kitchen and whistles. "Sweet. That bitch wan't lying. Could make a pretty penny off this shit…" "Hey!" The man in the ski-mask jumps as you shout, grabbing a steak knife left out from supper and pointing it at him. "Who the fuck are you?" "Shit! She said this place was empty!" The man in the ski-mask pulls out a switchblade knife, the blade popping out. "Drop it, kid!" He lunges at you and you instinctively recoil… not fast enough. He grabs your arm and twists it, sending the knife clattering to the floor. He kicks it away, holding the switchblade to your throat. Anna moves to run, but the man's knife digs into your throat. "Hold it right there, bitch! One move and I'll gut this fucker like a fish!" Anna freezes, terror in her eyes. You struggle against him, but the knife's blade digs a little deeper and you feel it slice into your skin. You cry out in pain, and Anna whimpers. "Stop… don't… don't kill him. Please… I'll do anything…" "Anything, eh?" The man in the ski-mask hungrily leers at her. "I was jus' gonna rob the place, but I think I'll have me some fun first… Take it off. Take it all off." You can see the despair in her gaze as she reaches down and hesitantly grasps the hem of her nightgown, lifting it over her head. She's naked underneath it, and moves to cover her breasts and vulva from his lecherous gaze. "Ahh… good girl…" The man in the ski-mask abruptly tosses you aside and you hit your head on one of the cabinets. Anna moves to run for the door, but the man grabs her by the arm and twists it. "Not so fast, bitch… been a while since I've seen a slut as thirsty as you…" "Leave… her alone…" You struggle pull yourself upright, still dazed from the blow to the head, and you feel blood trickling across your scalp. "Or what?" The man sneers, his grin revealing brownish-yellow teeth. He snickers as he roughly gropes at Anna's chest, his fingernails leaving red marks. She whimpers in pain rather than pleasure, her eyes pleading with you to do something, anything. "Don't be a hero, kid, or the little lady here gets it." Anna cries out as he yanks on her nipple, her attempt to pull away only managing to grind her ass against him. "Ooh, ya like that, doncha bitch? You like it when a real man does it to you?" The man sets the switchblade down, within grabbing distance, and moves his free hand lower to Anna's pussy. She doesn't try to grab the knife and is shutting down, her eyes locked onto yours but glazed over with terror. As the man fumbles with the zipper of his pants, you consider making a grab for the switchblade, but he's still closer and any wrong move on your part could result in her being seriously hurt, if not killed. "Just sit back and enjoy the show, kid, and I might even let you have a turn when I'm done with her…" The man's lips curl into a mocking sneer as he finally manages to free his erect penis. "Ahh… much better." Anna whimpers and jolts as he grinds it against her vulva from behind. "You like that, doncha? I got somethin' you'll //really// like, right-" Before the man can finish his sentence, Yami appears out of the shadows behind him, a curved wooden sword raised over her head. The diagonal stroke of the sword strikes the man in the side of the head. As he clutches the crushed remains of his ear and screams, Anna immediately scrambles away and clings to you, sobbing and shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. You hold her, gently stroking her back in an effort to calm her down, but your attention is focused on Yami. She's grinning down at the man, who is groaning in pain and clutching the back of his head, but the expression is not one of mirth but rage. Her eyes are pitch black, empty of all emotion except bloodlust. As the man opens his mouth, the sword smashes into his face and you can see several of the man's rotting teeth skitter across the floor. "Surrender, and I will show you mercy." "F-fuck you!" The man lunges for the switchblade, but the wooden sword slams down on his hand and you hear the bones of his fingers snap. "Shit! Shit! My-" Before the man can finish, Yami brings the sword down on his head hard enough that you hear a wet crunch. The man crumples to the ground, unmoving. One of his pupils dilates until his iris is nothing but a narrow ring of color, blood slowly pooling onto the floor. "That was close…" Yami speaks quietly, flicking the blood off her sword. "Are you alright?" Her eyes still shine with a feral light, but she's looking at Anna with a concerned expression. "Yeah." You're still trying to process what just happened. "We… we should call someone. The cops-" "No need. I'll take care of him." Yami glares down at the man's body. He's still alive, his breath coming in shallow gasps. "You wouldn't want to police poking around this place, would you?" "No…" You stare up at Yami, cradling Anna's sobbing frame. "What are you going to do with him?" "Best you don't ask questions you aren't prepared to handle the answers to…" Yami speaks solemnly, crouching and reaching out to lay a hand on Anna's shoulder. She flinches and whimpers, Yami looking away with a… sad… expression. "Get her off to bed. I'll see you in the morning." In the end you wind up carrying Anna bridal-style to your bed. She refuses to let go of you, clinging tightly even after her sobbing subsides. Tucking her under the covers is a little awkward, but you ultimately manage it. Lying beside her and absently stroking her hair, you frown. //In all the time I've lived here we've never had any problems… the ne'er-do-wells tend to stick to town.// Rolling over and trying to get comfortable, you scowl. //If Yami had something to do with this… to prove a point or something, I…// You shake your head. Yami had saved Anna, saved you if you're being honest. //I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now, but I'll keep a close eye on her just the same… and I should probably call Claire in the morning…// Closing your eyes, you drift off to the sound of Anna's breathing as she snuggles close beside you.

//Eve wants me to fix the nerve damage done to Bubbles face, give her back her smile,// You grimace, //God, I hope I'm up to this.// Thumbing through your uncle's lab notebook until you find the entry you remember seeing when you originally studied it, you use the list on the page to recheck that you have everything for the fifth time, then sigh, //I can't put this off forever. It's going to break Eve's heart if this doesn't work, not to mention that Maki will see me as a laughing stock, . . . . and I have no idea how Bubbles will feel about it.// Steeling your resolve, you start to move about the room, flipping on pieces of equipment as you finally get to work. For the next seven hours, you work. Your focus never wavering as you try to get everything just right. Letting out your breath in a whoosh, you deflate in the chair as you lean back, //It really doesn't look like much, does it?// You think, looking at the green blue slime in the jar. //And is it even supposed to look like that?// "Darling?" Maki's voice cuts into your thoughts, making you aware that you had been looking at the jar for quite some time, "You look as if the weight of the world rests on your shoulders." You open your mouth to retort, but you realize that you have nothing really to say. Taking a deep breath, you finally do speak, "Eve asked me to do something, and it's something I've given a lot of thought to. I'm concerned that if I made a mistake that it wont work, or that it will do more damage than good." Trailing off, the silence lingers. At the doorway, Maki seems content to wait you out until you continue. "Eve has this infectious energy, and at times she seems like the smartest person in the room. But at the same time she sometimes has this blissful optimism to her that flies in the face of reality," You look at Maki. "She does have a certain effect on people," Maki admits, "May I ask what she requested?" Again, you sigh, your eyes sliding to the jar once more, "She asked me to fix Bubbles." "What?" There's a bite to her single word, part surprise and part anger. You raise a hand to stall any further reaction from Maki, "Let me explain," You begin, Maki's posture becomes less aggressive, but the fire in her eyes remains, "I've been going over my Great Uncle's journals, and while most of his research has to do with gene modification, there are a few things that could prove useful in the wider medical field. Things that can accelerate healing, or reverse //nerve damage,//" You watch Maki's expression shift toward confusion as she tries to connect the dots. Then like someone just flipped a light switch, Maki's eyes widen, her lips parting as her mouth falls open. "You're serious?" She asks, the start of tears forming in her eyes. "I can't promise that it will work. According to his notes, the effects aren't good enough to completely heal the damage, but it sort of encourages the body to do it if I understand correctly?" You sigh, "Who am I kidding, I can operate the machinery, and I can follow the instructions in his notebook, but I only half understand any of it." The first tear crests Maki's eyes, trailing down the side of her nose. She catches it quickly, rubbing her face as she wipes it away, "You're saying that you can give Bubbles back her smile?" "What I'm saying is that //IF// this works like the notebook says, and //IF// I didn't make any mistakes, then there's a chance," You try to project your uncertainties, but Maki doesn't even seem to be listening at this point. "Is it ready?" Her eyes shift meaningfully to the jar. For a second, you try to think of something clever to say, but lacking that, you nod and reply with an exhausted, "Yeah." Maki pivots and is gone in the blink of an eye. You can hear her running through the basement, then up the stairs to the first floor of the mansion. You loose track of her footsteps not long after, but it's not long before you can hear her talking excitedly, her voice coming closer as she returns, presumably with Bubbles in tow. An excited looking Maki drags Bubbles into the laboratory, the giantess clearly unsure of what is going on even though Maki is prattling on like a schoolgirl about how Bubbles is going to be able to smile again. The smaller woman even goes so far as to physically position Bubbles several steps away from you but before stepping out of the way. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Maki carefully composing herself again. She does a fairly good job of it, but you can still since a nervous sort of energy about her. Slowly but surely, as she finally starts to think about the situation, her energy begins to ebb and you can see uncertainty creeping into her expression. Your eyes turn upward, looking at Bubbles as her single eye looks down at you. Reaching out, you pick up the jar, holding it out in front of you until all eyes are focused on it, "You know what this is supposed to do?" Bubbles glances at Maki, then back at you before nodding slowly. "In that case, I have one question for you," You glance at Maki, seeing the uncertainty in her eyes before turning your gaze back to Bubbles, "Is this what //you// want?" The giantess takes a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slowly before glancing at Maki. Only then does she give a small nod.

You can feel the unease in the air like a thick fog. Bubbles stands, stoic as ever with her hands fidgeting slightly as Maki stands next to her, arms folded across her chest. You finish scraping a creamy fluid into a jar. You wince at the color; a strange, creepy green in hue. //My Uncle never mentioned it looking like slime in his notes...// “Okay.” You stir it with the popsicle stick for a moment as you step over to the two women. “It’s ready.” You see skepticism in Maki’s eyes, juxtapositioned with the timid hope in Bubbles. “So, this is going to be a process. It won’t fix it all at once, and I doubt that it will ever completely undo the damage. Continued treatment should eventually repair at least some of the damage though.” “Should?” Maki’s hazel eyes narrow at you. “I’m going from my Uncle’s notes and I’ve not done this before so….” You shrug idly. You see Maki about to say something, but she closes her mouth when Bubbles shoots her an angry glance. “So, according to the notes in my book, it should be applied once per day like you would hand cream, except on your face.” “So like a facial mask.” Maki stares at the green substance with trepidation. “...Sure. There might be some discomfort.” You offer the jar to Bubbles. You watch her pick it up in her large hand, looking it over carefully before proffering it to Maki. “Please?” Maki sighs for a moment before taking it. You watch Bubbles sit in one of the chairs, stoic as ever. “You want to apply it to the damaged area.” You offer as she stirs it for a moment. “Is it safe to use my fingers?” You take a moment to think, going over the formula and the ingredients in your head. “It should be. I’d wash them right after.” You watch Maki dip her fingers into your mixture, her face contorting in slight disgust. You wait with baited breath as she applies the green cream to Bubbles cheeks, the tall girl flinching after a moment. “It burns.” Maki turns to you sharply, angry eyes glaring at you. “I said there might be some discomfort. Is it really bad?” “No….It’s like hot pepper, but all over my cheeks.” You sigh in relief as Maki finishes, a slight green sheen now on Bubbles cheeks. She hands the jar back to the taller girl before going over to the sink. “How long will this last?” Maki asks. “I honestly don’t know. I think the burning means it’s working. If it gets really bad, I’d stop and wash it off.” You shrug idly, handing the jar’s lid to the caramel girl. “There should be enough in the jar to last until your next visit, and then we’ll see where we’re at.” Bubbles nods, standing slowly as Maki dries her hands on her shirt. “Thank you, <<print $player.firstName>>.” Bubbles nods to you, screwing the lid on. Maki mimics her nod, but you can see a wariness behind her smile that tickles the hairs on the back of your neck. “It’s no problem. I just hope it works.” Long after the pair have left, you're still sitting in the chair, wondering what Bubbles would look like with a smile on her face.

You spot Mitsuko cleaning, rag in hand as she wipes away the dust. You watch her work for a moment when suddenly she gasps, and you see her body shiver for a second, the raven-haired woman's cheeks flushed.

You approach Mitsuko. "You ok?" You ask, placing your hand on her shoulder. <<if $mitsuko.affection gre 800>>She nearly jumps, startled by the sudden contact. "Y-Yes, why wouldn't I be?" She stammers, her voice shaking, Mitsuko turns to face you. "You seemed to be in pain or something." You wear a worried expression as you lay the back of your hand against Mitsuko's forehead. Her skin is warm to the touch, the taller woman's face suddenly turning a brighter red. "I'm f-fine." She frantically assures you, forcing a smile as sweat trickling down her face. You stare Mitsuko for a while before sighing. "If you're ok." You give in. "But if you're not feeling well, don't push yourself." You add. Mitsuko nods, returning to her chores. <<if $mitsuko.affection gre 600 and $mitsuko.affection lte 800>>"I'm fine, d-did you need something?" She asks, stuttering as she speaks. "No, I'm just checking up on you." Mitsuko recoils at your touch, letting out a girly squeak, you let go of her. "O-Ok." Mitsuko nods, turning back to focus on her chores. //That was weird.// You think to yourself. For a few minutes, you stand there, observing Mitsuko work. Nothing else happens, so you give up and let Mitsuko continue with her chores. <<if $mitsuko.affection gre 400 and $mitsuko.affection lte 600>>"Of course I'm fine." Mitsuko's assures you but suddenly gasps. You stare at her suspiciously until she turns her back to you, shrugging off your hand. "If you're sure, if there's something wrong let me know." You say, eyebrow raised at her behavior. //She's acting a bit weird, but it doesn't look like I'll get anything from her right now.// You mentally sigh, letting her get back to work. <<else>>Mitsuko recoils at your touch, gasping as she steps back. "I'm fine!" She snaps at you, her voice full of frustration. A moment later, she realizes the mistake she made, Mitsuko's expression softens. "I'm sorry <<print $mitsuko.CallsPlayer>>." Mitsuko apologizes, bowing her head.

Passing by a guest room, you can hear voices from inside, the door having been left slightly ajar. [[Peer into the room.|Submitted Mitsuko and Maki Fun Scene 2a]] [[Investigate the room.|Submitted Mitsuko and Maki Fun Scene 2b]] [[Ignore the voices.|Submitted Mitsuko and Maki Fun Scene 2c]] Submitted by Irish Major Tom

You decide to peer into the room, looking through the opening you spot Mitsuko and Maki, the former looking frustrated and embarrassed. "How could you make me do that!" Mitsuko's voice is full of distress as she speaks. "I nearly had a-a." She suddenly goes quiet. "Had a what darling?" Maki circles around behind Mitsuko as she teases her. "There's no need to be shy dear." Maki leans in, whispering into Mitsuko's ear. "You know you enjoyed it." You barely catch what Maki said as Mitsuko whimpers. "Now how about we go the rest of the day like this." Maki practically purrs as she strides over to the bed, grabbing something from a bag before turning to look at Mitsuko, a small, round and pink object in hand. Mitsuko sighs "I-I can't, it's too much. I nearly collapsed in front of him!" Irritated, she turns to leave. "My, my, giving up that easily?" Maki grins. "I guess that means //I won//." She giggles, you can see Mitsuko grind her teeth in frustration, her fists closed tightly. She stands there for a moment before giving in to Maki's teasing. Mitsuko walks back to Maki. "Fine, I'll do your challenge, all the way to the end." Grabbing the object, she lifts the hem of her skirt, and the pink thing disappears into her panties. //I can only guess what that is// you think to yourself. In front of Mitsuko, Maki watches with the look of a cat that's caught its prey. "Was that so hard darling?" Maki smirks, sauntering up to Mitsuko and lightly groping her breast. "Now then, don't you have some chores that need to be done?" Maki motions to the door. Mitsuko glares at Maki, with a sigh she makes her way toward the door. You beat a hasty retreat before she sees you. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<if $mitsukoVibePlay is 1>><<set $mitsukoVibePlay += 1>><</if>>

You push the door open and enter the room. In the middle stands Mitsuko, by the bed is Maki, leaning against it. <<if $mitsuko.affection gre 800>>Hearing the door open, Mitsuko looks back at you. "<<print $MitsukoCallsPlayer>> W-What are you doing here?!" Mitsuko's voice is full of surprise. "This is his mansion darling." Maki giggles as she teases Mitsuko. You close the door behind you and walk over to the two women, spotting a bag behind Maki as you get closer. Your eyebrow raises as Maki smirks. "So what are you two up to, hiding away in one of the guest bedrooms?" You question them, Mitsuko looks away in embarrassment. Maki moves toward Mitsuko, standing beside her, wrapping an arm around the taller woman. "We were playing a game darling, care to join in?" Maki extends her other arm out to you, a remote of some kind in her hand. "What kind of game?" You ask. Maki grins, Mitsuko suddenly gasping. "You see, I'm trying to find out how long your prideful servant can last." Mitsuko's face goes even redder as she lets out a moan. "That is the remote to a toy, one I'm sure you can guess where it's hidden." Maki winks at you.

Mitsuko stutters, suddenly gasping a second later. You look to Maki, eyebrow raised. "Nothing in particular, I heard both of you talking and decided to check-in." You casually respond to her. "What are the two of you doing in this room alone?" You ask, a hint of suspicion in your voice. Maki giggles teasingly before answering you. "We're playing a game, care to take part?" She grins at you, extending an arm out, in her palm is a remote of some kind. Your eyes narrow at Maki. "What kind of game?" You ask. "A game to see how long your prideful servant can last."

You raise your eyebrow, giving Maki a questioning look. "What sort of fun?" You ask. Next to her Mitsuko, hearing your question, she looks away gritting her teeth. "I wonder." Maki simply smiles at you, pushing herself off the bed she approaches you, coming to a halt beside Mitsuko and extends her arm out to you. In the palm of Maki's hand sits a device like that of a remote. You look at it then back to Maki. "What is it?" You ask. In the corner of your eye, Mitsuko gasps, a moan suddenly slipping from her lips before she can purse her lips. "It's part of a game we're playing, a game of endurance." Maki replies, still holding out the remote like device to you.

She extends her arm out, in the palm of her hand sits a device like that of a remote. "What sort of game?" You ask, staring at the device in her hand. Your mind racing at the many possibilities of what it could be. "One where we see how much your prideful servant can endure." Maki smirks. "So, care to join? She motions to the device. She asks.

"Good, all you have to do is hit that button and watch." Maki smirks as she explains. Realizing what's about to happen, Mitsuko looks at you, her eyes silently pleading with you. You stare at her, Mitsuko's body tenses as the tension builds. A moment later you push the button, nothing happening at first until Mitsuko moans. Her face burning bright red with shame and embarrassment, body shaking. "What do you think?" You snap your attention to Maki and nod at her. "Good, be sure to put that to good use darling." She says, winking at you as Maki walks out of the room. You look to Mitsuko with a sly grin." We're going to have a lot of fun." Mitsuko groans at your declaration, vibrations pulsing through her body. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Irish Major Tom

You consider her offer for a moment. "I'll watch from the sidelines, thank you." You instead decline her offer. "Very well, more fun for me."

//This is interesting.// You grab the device, smirking. "Ok, I'll play along." You say, remote in hand. Maki chuckles. "Good, all you have to do is hit that button and watch." Following her instructions, Mitsuko suddenly gasps. Her entire body shakes for several seconds. You hit the button again, the taller woman trying to hold her moaning in through pursed lips. With an evil smile, you tap the button on the remote. Mitsuko cries out. She looks at you with pleading eyes. Ignoring her as the vibrations running through her body as she endures the pleasure coursing through her body. Maki pats you on the shoulder, giving you a thumbs up before leaving you and Mitsuko alone. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by Irish Major Tom

Curiously you grab the device, and Maki chuckles as you stare at it. "To use it, just hit that button a few times and enjoy." She explains. You hit the button twice, and Mitsuko suddenly gasps, a suppressed moan following a moment later. The taller woman pursing her lips to contain the pleasure vibrating through her body. "I think our lovely Mitsuko here has some chores to do, no?" Maki slaps Mitsuko's butt. The raven-haired woman looks away, her cheeks burning bright red. "You're right, she does." You agree with Maki and motion for Mitsuko to go. Your servant looks at Maki then to you for a moment before sighing, she brushes past you, hurrying out of the room.

You think her offer over. //It would be fun, but I think I'll let her tease Mitsuko a bit.// But decide to decline her offer. "I'll let you two have your fun." You tell Maki.

"Ok." You agree, grabbing the device from her hand. Maki grins. "To use it, simply push that button a few times and enjoy." She points to the button on the device. Hesitantly you press the button once. For a moment nothing happens, so you press the button again, silence filling the room as you wait. Maki sighs. "Mitsuko dear, there is no need to be shy." You look to your raven hair servant. Mitsuko's lips are pursed, and her eyes shut tight, cheeks flushed as she breathes heavily through her nose. Maki motions for you to press the button again, so you do and this time a moan escapes from Mitsuko. She turns away in shame and disgust. "There you go."

You see the massive form of Bubbles sitting at the edge of the pool, her bare back facing you. Her legs rest leisurely in the pool, a red one piece covering her midsection as she kicks gently. She turns her head, her singular blue eye looking at you briefly before she nods in greeting and looks back to the water.

"Hello." You draw closer, crouching down next to the caramel woman. You find this opportunity to talk to her without her mistress present too tantalizing to pass up. "Hello." Her voice rumbles in your ears as she turns to face you. "How are you enjoying your stay?" "Good. Mistress likes it. Eve is fun." You watch her skim the top of the water with her fingers, sending ripples in the pools surface. "Eve is pretty adorable. She's quite taken with you." You smile warmly, trying to be friendly. "She is unique." Bubbles nods. "She isn't scared." "She's fearless, that's for sure. I guess Maki and her share that." You see Bubbles eye narrow for a moment when you say her masters name. "She is." Her voice seems to lighten slightly as she turns her single eye back to the water. "What about Maki?" You see her muscles tense, hands curling up. "Was she scared when she met you?" "No. She's never scared. Well, once." Bubbles sighed, drawing one leg from the water and hugging it. "Just once." "Really?" You ask curiously. "She got hurt. Scrambled her head." She stares past the water, lost in her own thoughts. "She woke up. Didn't recognize me. She was scared." "That sounds awful." You rub the back of your neck awkwardly, staring down at the surface of the pool. "Yes. It was short. She apologized...I forgave her." <<if $bubbles.affection gte 600 and $bubbles.trust gte 500>>[[Talk about Maki.|Maki and Bubbles Pool Interactive 2c]] <</if>>[[Talk about Eve and Anna.|Maki and Bubbles Pool Interactive 2d]] Eve's proposal (NOT YET IN GAME.

"You and Maki are awfully close, aren't you?" You see her tense, giving you a sidelong glance. "She saved me." Bubbles states firmly. "Right. She's very nice. Very caring. In all honesty, she wasn't what I expected when we first met." You laugh nervously. "Nor I. She....defies expectation." You hear a wistfulness in her deep tone. "She told me a bit of how you met. She rescued you after a fight, right?" "Yes. I was betrayed. Hurt and broken." You hear a harshness that sends a chill down your spine. "She came. Tended my wounds. She was fearless." You see a faint blush in Bubbles cheeks as she talks. "She is certainly that. Very forward too." You chuckle. "It's nice. She is....intimidating." You watch her hesitate, reminding you of Anna searching for the right words. "She definitely has a big personality...." You hesitate for a moment, but feel emboldened. "You know, Anna told me about....when Maki talked to her in private." You see Bubbles tense, her blue eye staring at you with a strange expression. You let the silence stretch for a few moments before pushing forward. "I think....I wonder sometimes what would've happened if my Uncle hadn't deceived her. Like if she'd figured out what he'd done before he died. I'm not condoning murder, by any means....but you know...." You sigh, looking down to the gentle ripples of the pool. "All the things he did to Anna...to so many other women...I've no doubt Maki would've ended him if she knew, and I wouldn't have blamed her. Is that wrong of me to say?" Bubbles looks at you quizzically for a moment, seeming to consider your question for what seemed an interminable amount of time. "He was evil." Her words came slowly and thoughtful, her deep tone tinged with something you can't quite place. "Maybe not always. I have killed. Not in self-defense. When I was....younger. My previous master.....I was his tool. I was....evil." She turns away, her voice becoming thicker with emotion as you see shame creep across her cheeks. "Maki made me better. Showed me kindness. She makes me...human. Maybe he lost that. Became monstrous. I see Anna....I feel sorrow. Guilt, for what I could've done. What I didn't do. She is like me now. Hurt. Broken." Bubbles turns back to you, her scarred face stoic as a mountain as you fail to find a response to this sudden deluge of words from the normally quiet giantess. "I have Maki. Anna has you. Be kind, like her. If not? I'll kill you." She stares at you with that scarred imitation of a smile as you gulp...then you sigh when she holds up her hand. "I'm joking." "That's not funny." You let out a nervous laugh, running a hand through your hair. "It's a little funny." Bubbles stands slowly, towering over you. "I wouldn't. Maki likes you." "What about you? Do you like me? " You ask her as she starts walking back towards the mansion. "...You're okay." //Well. I'll take it.// You sigh, standing back up.

"You know, if Eve ever starts bothering you? Just let me know. She can be quite enthusiastic sometimes." You smile softly. "She's fine. She's very refreshing." Bubbles states, amusement in her tone. "I can believe that." You can't help but think. "She's not scared. Most are." She sighed. "Children run usually. Men avoid me. Women too. All are scared. Just like Anna." "It's....Anna's very skittish. It's not you--" "It is. It's fine." The caramel woman turns her head to you with a shrug. "It's not unusual. There's no offense." "I....Heh. Anna's been through a lot." You sigh, looking at the pool's surface. "She took the brunt of my Uncle's....you know." "He was despicable." Bubbles' voice is harsh. "I won't argue that. Thankfully he never touched Eve like that. After all that time, Anna is just....very protective of Eve. I think she worries Eve will get hurt with you." You shrug. "I wouldn't." You hear indignation in her tone. "I didn't say //you// would hurt her. You've seen Eve; she loves climbing all over your shoulders and what not; it would be very easy for her to get....overly enthusiastic and hurt herself." You smile reassuringly at the giantess as you stand up. "....That's fair." Bubbles' nods at you. "I'll be careful." "Oh, it's not you I worry about. It's Eve." You laugh. "Don't let her talk you into tossing her onto the roof or up a tree, okay? The pool is good enough." "I won't." She nods as you begin going back towards the mansion.

"Eve wanted me to ask you something. Well, both of us wanted to ask." You sit fully on the ground, stretching your legs out. "Yes?" Bubbles turns to face you, eye raised questioningly. "Well..." You hesitate for a moment, trying to figure the best words to use. "Eve tells me you can't smile because of the scars?" You see the unease on Bubbles face, the same look Anna sometimes has when you ask her something uncomfortable. "Nerve damage, technically." She answers softly, her eye straying back to the surface of the pool. "I can't promise anything....but I can look into fixing that for you." Her gaze snaps to you, catching you off guard with the sudden intensity in her single blue orb. "Explain." //Did her voice get lower?!// You clear your throat nervously. "My Uncle was...well, he has a lab full of stuff including a notebook with a bunch of formulas. Considering what he did to Eve..." You trail off for a moment as her glare intensifies. "It's not inconceivable that there might be something there that could help you." "....Why?" She growls at you, and you notice her muscles tensing. You almost expect her to lunge at you. "Why what? Why would I help you?" "Yes." You see her eye narrow, a menacing aura tainting the air. "I won't betray Maki." "No! Why would--nevermind. That's not what this is about!" You stutter for a moment, fear causing the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Her stare remains, intimidating and maleficent in tone. "Look..." You sigh, rubbing the back of your neck for a moment. "You know what my Uncle did to the girls, right? I'm sure Maki mentioned it." "Yes. Despicable." The amazon practically spits the word at you. "I don't disagree. All that talent...all that medical knowledge that he had at his fingertips...and what did he do? He tortured women. All that knowledge is just sitting in that lab, all the past horrors lurking in the shadows there...." You pause for a moment. "It would be nice to put it to some positive use for a change. To help someone instead of hurt them." You sit there as the larger woman scrutinizes you. Her gaze seems to bore into you, judging you as you stare back. After a long silence, Bubbles exhales and rubs her face. "I'm sorry. I'm....wary." She sighs. "People offer things, they want things. Genuine kindness is.....rare." "I can understand that considering what you've been through...at least what Maki's told me." "She is genuine. You seem genuine." You smile nervously, standing up slowly. "That's what I tell Anna....So, to confirm; would you like me to see if there's anything that can help you? I can't make any promises that it will work, but I'd like to try if you're willing." You watch her tilt her head to one side, looking back at the surface of the pool. "Yes. I...want to smile again. Thank you." Her voice is softer than you've ever heard, thick with emotion. "Okay. I'll see what I can do." You straighten your shirt, starting to walk back towards the mansion with a sense of purpose.

You see the two forms of Maki and Bubbles stretched out near the pool. Maki lays in one of the chairs, a large pair of sunglasses over her face. Her flawless olive skin glistens as she lays in the sun, her large breasts held by a turquoise bikini as her arms rest behind her head. Bubbles is laying on a towel at the edge of the pool, her nearly bare back exposed as she rests her head against her arms, her single eye closed. You see numerous marks on the giantess' skin, scars and old burns playing a strange mosaic on her caramel form. Both seem to be enjoying the afternoon sun, a smile on Maki's face while her companion is still stoically expressionless. Submitted by LFN Park<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You hear the sounds of splashing as you approach the pool. Drawing closer, you see the massive, muscular form of Bubbles cutting through the water at a quick pace, doing laps around its perimeter. You see the smaller form of Eve struggling to keep up, swimming at a snail's pace compared to the caramel woman. You see Maki sitting in one of the chairs near the pool, her eyes locked to her servant. She's in her familiar turquoise swimsuit, her ample bosom barely held back in the material. You see her vape pen set to one side, her hands behind her head. You note the wide smile on her face as she licks her lips, a lusty expression as she continues to stare at her companion.

You take a seat in the chair next to Maki. "You seem enthralled." You joke. The olive woman chuckles, her gaze still locked to the pool. "Enraptured, darling. Despite our years with each other, the sight of sweet Bubbles firm muscles is still simply delicious." Maki sighed dreamily. "Her physique is very impressive. Does she do any bodybuilding competitions?" Maki simply chuckled. "Darling. Her numerous scars would make any competition based on appearance null due to unappreciative judges. She's far too self conscious for anything like that, anyway." "Really? She seems pretty confident to me. Very... to the point." Maki finally turns to you, an eyebrow raised curiously. "She was not always so. Her time prior to me was... well. We shall say it was narrowly focused on one thing to the exclusion of almost everything else." "Fighting, I presume?" "Quite. Did you know she'd never even had marshmallows before she came to my estate?" Your eyebrows raise at this information. "That's incredibly surprising." You glance back to the pool, tilting your head as you watch the giantess swim. "So deprived. An amazon who knew nothing but war...." You turn back to Maki, her expression changing from lust to pride.

Her previous Master was very draconian in his training methods, very restrictive. Admittedly, it gave her a remarkable physique, but there are scars in my sweet girl you can't see." Maki bit her lip stealing a glance back to the swimming giantess. "I get it. Dealing with Anna and Eve... the baggage there...." You sigh, rubbing the back of your neck. "I give Howard credit; at least he never touched Bubbles like that." Maki sneered. "There was a strict diet and an extreme training regime, but no molestation, thankfully." "I just can't imagine anyone being able to do anything to her she doesn't want." //Considering she looks like she could snap me like a twig....// "She's more fragile than you'd think." Maki sighed. "She was utterly loyal to Howard, not least of all because her brother was taken in with her.... Not unlike Eve and Anna." "Her old Master used him to make her do things?" Maki nodded, resting her head on her palm. "She still has nightmares, sometimes, of the fights and the training. Let me tell you, Bubbles with night terrors can be... very dangerous." You think about Anna and her nightmares, the times she's woken up screaming. //Bubbles thrashing around at night... that could cause real damage....// You imagine one swing of that massive arm smashing through your nightstand, or rib cage, and wince. "With Howard... I don't know. There was rage and anger, but she pushed it down and buried it. I guess he kept her too busy to dwell on it." You hear a faraway tone in Maki's voice, a strangely somber note to it. "When I rescued her, it just wormed its way to the surface. That first year... talk about bumpy. " "Did she have nightmares then?" "Not the first few months, but there was other incidents. She had an altercation with another boy; She smashed his jaw. He had it wired up for weeks after.... He did prank her and call her a freak, but still...." Maki trailed off, shaking her head. "I can't imagine antagonizing her is smart...." You cringe at the thought of what could happen if Bubbles was instigated.... "Anyway, the nightmares started after all that. First night it happened she got me pretty good before she knew where she was." Maki clucked her tongue. "I've dealt with that; Anna thrashing around from really bad nightmares, but I don't know how you do that with Bubbles." You glance back towards the pool, seeing Bubbles launching Eve into the air as she laughs, then crashing back into the pool with a mighty splash. "I admit, it was rough. I contemplated wearing kevlar to bed." Maki jokes, a small smile touching her lips. "Bubbles tried to insist on sleeping in her own room, but I wouldn't have that; I enjoy falling asleep on that amazing body." "Well, you're not in a full body cast, so whatever you ended up doing seems to have worked...." You smile, turning to look at her once again. "It was a matter of getting her to talk. The nightmares lessen the more she talks about it. I'm sure it's the same with Anna." "Maki, I can't say the word ‘uncle' without Anna trembling in fear. We... she's shared some things." You sigh. "Baby steps, darling. I'm sure she's better than when you first got here." Maki smiled broadly. "She's definitely happier, but that bar's pretty low." "Still an important bar to have, darling. It's the first to many splendid things. Once she figured out she was happy.... Mmmm. So many sexy nights... and days." She licked her lips once more, turning back to gaze at Bubbles and Eve. You watch Eve clamber onto Bubbles shoulders with a splash as you stand up, both girls turning to wave at you. You wave back with a smile before nodding to Maki. "I'll remember that."

"She was utterly loyal to Howard, not least of all because her brother was taken in with her.... Not unlike Eve and Anna." "He used her brother as leverage?" Your mind goes back to the black leather book on your nightstand when you first arrived at the mansion. "Yes. Unlike her, Gregory was much more average in stature. From what she's told me, the training was... quite arduous." You hear her hesitate for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "All her fights were basically like street fights? I don't know how that works in this industry...." You flinch at your choice of words as Maki tilts her head at you with a disapproving glare. "I dislike calling it an ‘industry,' though that is more apt in this regard. It depends on the region, darling. The fights aren't unlike how official ones are arranged in more legitimate organizations.... Two parties agree on a location and advertise. There's just a lot less red tape and no bureaucracy. The Far East's tend to be much more ceremonial and favor a lot of death fights. Not my cup of tea personally." Maki shook her head. "To confirm; fighting to the death?" You ask incredulously. "Yes, darling. I'm not saying they're an everyday occurrence, but in comparison to The Bloc or The States they are much more common. Here in the States it's frowned upon and a very rare event. The Bloc....Somewhere in the middle." She shrugged. "Did Bubbles ever do any of those?" Maki looks away for a moment. You see some discomfort on her face as her fingers drum on the armrest of the chair. "She doesn't like to talk about them, but yes." Maki sighed. "I don't pry about that. Suffice to say she won them." "Fair enough...." You watch the caramel woman in the pool in a different way. You feel a slight unease as you see her lift Eve onto her shoulders, imagining the thick cords of muscle in her arms wrapped around her neck... those massive hands squeezing Eve's tiny head.... "Stop it." You snap back to Maki, her stern voice taking you from your thoughts. Her hazel eyes stare daggers at you, a disapproving frown on her face. "Sorry?" "I know that look; people get that look all the time when they see her. She won't hurt anyone in this estate, least of all Eve." "No offense, but the first time we met you considered killing me." You meet her gaze with an equally hard stare. "And you're still here. What's that tell you?" "That you find me interesting enough to keep around." You smirk, looking back to the pool as Eve laughs, her hands tossling Bubbles wet hair. "Very astute, darling." Maki laughs, waving to the two girls in the pool.

<<if $maki.affection gte 650 and $maki.fear lte 300>>"You're very fond of her, aren't you?" You see a curious expression cross Maki's face as she looks at you, almost judgmental and evaluatory. "Quite. She's not for sale, if that's what you're asking." Maki said firmly. "No, I didn't mean that." You shrug sheepishly. "It's just you talk about her with a lot of pride and affection, like you two are a couple." Maki smirks, looking at you strangely. "What if we were, darling? Would that offend your values?" "It doesn't offend me. It's... kind of funny really." Maki raises an eyebrow. "Why is that?" "Well, you're very outspoken while she seems very... terse? I'm not sure what the word is. You've a lot of opposite qualities like that." You shrug. "Well. You're not wrong." Maki smiles, turning back to the pool. You see Eve cling to Bubbles shoulders as she cuts through the water, laughing happily as her speed increases. "I'll let you in on something, darling." You turn back to the olive woman, who's leaned closer to you. You also lean against the arm of the chair, curious to what she has to share. "There's a difference between sex and making love, at least to me. I'm a bit of a nympho, if you haven't noticed. I've had lots of sex; it's a biological necessity and, generally speaking, it works to cull my libido. Making love... that's a completely different beast, and so much more fulfilling." Maki sighs, resting her chin in one palm. "There's an intimacy... an emotional spark that just goes beyond mere physical pleasure. It's rare to find a person for that in my experience. When I first met Bubbles, I lusted for her. Pure physical lust.... I mean, look at that ass." Maki licked her lips, glancing back towards the pool. "You know it was four or so months before we slept together? Practically an eternity for me if I'm to be honest." You think about her words for a moment, memories of intimate moments with Anna surfacing as the olive woman continues to talk. "When we did... I didn't expect it. That spark, that intimacy... it was fantastic. Well worth the wait." You see a faint flush in Maki's cheeks, a naughty grin spreading on her face. "I absolutely love Bubbles. I'm crazy for that magnificent woman. I can't imagine my life without her anymore. What's really insane is she feels the same for me." "So... why do you call her your pet?" You scratch your head for a moment. "Oh. Public persona, darling." Maki laughed, turning back to stare at the pools occupants. "I don't want to deal with the complications that would arise if people knew I was so madly in love with a ‘mere slave,' as the narrow minded would say. Also, it's frankly none of the world's damn business." //Well. This explains that....// You can't help but smile. "That's funny. You once spoke of a Master falling for a slave...." You rub your chin for a moment in thought. "I was speaking from experience, of course. Though technically, Bubbles has never been my slave. I told you; I bought her life. Not her." Maki wags her finger at you comically. "Not sure I understand the distinction." You can't see the difference truthfully. "Someday you will, darling." Maki smirked, leaning back into her chair. Her eyes fix back to her caramel lover as she stopped swimming, Eve clambering onto her shoulders. The red head smiles and waves at you before Bubbles turns, fixing her single blue eye towards you and Maki. You wave back to Eve with a smile before standing up.

You feel a shiver down your spine as she continues staring at you. "Well.... No offense, but you two are very opposite... you know?" You start to hesitate as she continues looking at you. "Like... you like to talk and she doesn't. She's very tall and muscular and you're smaller and... softer." "Good save there, darling." Maki chuckles. She turns her head back to the pool and you follow, watching Eve splash at Bubbles. You laugh when she sticks one massive arm just underneath the surface and swings, drawing a massive wave of water that engulfs Eve. "I am quite fond of Bubbles. Enough that I've turned down many offers for her over the years." "People that want her for fighting?" You ask, turning your head back to her. "Fighting and other things. Some people have interesting kinks, and apparently one is to be dominated by an amazon." Maki shrugged idly. "You know, a short time ago I'd have said that to be very strange. Now? I'm not that surprised." You sigh, reminiscing about your days of ignorance to sexual behaviors. "Still, she's mine and I have no intention of sharing her." You detect smugness in her tone as Maki turns back to gazing at the giantess lustily. You wave to the swimming girls as they look at the two of you.

Anna and Mitsuko stand politely, their hands folded carefully in front of them. Eve practically bounces with anticipation, a huge grin on her tiny face. Anna’s has a soft smile while Mitsuko’s is neutral. You see the car shift as Bubbles massive form leaves it, waving briefly to you. You smile as Maki follows suit, a wide grin on her olive face. “Hello darlings!” The olive woman gives Anna and Eve a warm hug before giving Mitsuko a polite bow. “Hi, Maki.” You smile as she embraces you. You see Bubbles crouch, talking softly with Eve after they embrace. “John, darling! A pleasure as always! It’s always nice to get off the island for a weekend. I think dear Bubbles in particular has been looking forward to this.” Maki sneaks a grin at her massive companion, who waves back at her. “Well, you’re both always welcome.” You shrug, then tilt your head curiously as Eve grabs Maki’s hand. “Come on! I want to go swimming!” Eve laughs, grinning ear to ear. “Such impatience! I just arrived!” Maki giggles, but allows herself to be pulled up the stairs by the small red head. “Eve! Don’t be rude!” Anna chastises her sister as Mitsuko mirrors her stern gaze at the younger girl. “Oh, it’s fine! Let’s go get dressed, darling!” Maki laughs, disappearing inside the mansion. Mitsuko shakes her head disapprovingly, but looks up as Bubbles suddenly looms over you and the girls. “I….need help.” She states, nervousness in her deep baritone. //This is new...// You tilt your head up curiously. “Is something wrong?” You ask. Bubbles shakes her head vigorously. “I want tonight to be special…..for Maki and I.” You see a blush tinge her caramel cheeks. “I need help.” “How so?” “I….Can Mitsuko make something specific?” Her singular gaze turns to Mitsuko, rubbing her scarred wrist nervously. “What would I be making?” Mitsuko tilts her head curiously. “A….it’s called Bulgogi...it’s beef and it has rice--” “I’m familiar. It’d be fairly easy, I think.” Your raven haired servant looks at you with a shrug. “It sounds reasonable.” You nod. Bubbles nods enthusiastically before looking at Anna. “Can….you help me pick a dress? I….Maki usually helps and...I brought a bunch. I’ve no idea…” Bubbles voice trails off, looking hopefully at the blond girl. //I’ve never seen her so anxious before….// “O-oh. I’m….I don’t know….I’m not good with fancy dresses…..” Anna blushes, looking at the ground. “Neither am I. Please?” The pleading from the giantess surprises you. Anna looks to you for a moment, uncertainty in her blue eyes. “I’ve no objection.” You nod. “I….I guess I can help…” Bubbles nods happily. “What’s all this for, Bubbles?” You ask. “Tonight is special. It’s….” You watch the caramel woman’s mind churn behind her eye, grasping for the right word. “It’s our anniversary? When she rescued me.” //That’s nearly storybook romantic.// You see a small smile cross Anna and Mitsuko’s faces. “That’s sweet.” You chuckle. “I don’t see an issue with this. How about you two?” You look at your servants, who shake their head. “Then it’s settled.” You involuntarily squeak when the giantess embraces you, your feet momentarily leaving the ground as she raises you. “Thank you so much. This means a lot.” She states, emotion cracking her voice as your feet kick at the air. //I weigh nothing to her...// You see the amused faces of Anna and Mitsuko over Bubbles’ shoulder, both looking at you and giggling. “No problem, Bubbles.” You murmur, her arms tightening around you momentarily. She puts you back down, looking sheepishly at you before picking up two bags. Anna and Mitsuko follow the excited giantess as she practically skips up the stairs. You follow quickly after them.

Anna’s has a soft smile while Mitsuko’s is neutral. You see the car shift as Bubbles massive form leaves it, waving briefly to you. You smile as Maki follows suit, a wide grin on her olive face. She greets each of the girls in turn; Anna is given a warm hug even as Eve’s is enthusiastic. She bows politely to Mitsuko as Bubbles and Eve embrace. “So good to see you, darling! I have a special surprise this time!” Maki smirks naughtily, hazel eyes darting to Mitsuko briefly. //Oh good grief….// You groan inwardly, wondering what the older woman has planned this time. You see Bubbles looking at Maki as well, but you’re surprised to see a dark blush in her cheeks. From amidst the luggage the giantess withdraws a long black case of hard plastic. She holds it in front of her for a moment, the blush deepening as Maki smiles encouragingly up at her. “For you.” Bubbles murmurs, proffering the case to your raven-haired servant. Mitsuko’s face twists in confusion, looking between the two women and the case. “What is this?” She asks, glaring at Maki shrewdly. “It’s a gift, if <<print $playerCalled>> permits. Dear Bubbles and I thought you’d enjoy it.” The smaller woman simply smiles coyly, flashing her hazel eyes to you. You see Eve looking curiously at the case, hands behind her back. Mitsuko looks at you, then the case with hesitation. “Might as well open it.” You shrug. Mitsuko nods briefly, reluctantly taking the case from the giantess. You watch her crouch, setting the black plastic on the ground. Careful fingers undo the latches, and you see her tense as she slowly raises the lid, as if expecting a snake to leap out. Eve peeks around the edge of the case as Anna watches, curiosity dancing in her blue eyes. You can see the inside is lined with what looks like red felt. Sitting inside you see something that reminds you of a guitar, except far smaller; the body is a smaller white square of red and white wood. Instead of six strings there are only three going up its deep burgundy neck while three rods are at its top, two on the left and one on the right. Mitsuko’s eyes widen, mouth slightly agape. “What is it?” Eve asks, tilting her red head. “It’s a shamisen...a musical instrument.” Mitsuko’s voice is breathless as she stares at it. “You said you played.” Bubbles tone is sheepish, taking you aback as she watches Mitsuko with her cyclopean gaze. “I...yes. Long ago...” She murmurs. She stands, looking at Maki shrewdly. “Why would you do this?” Her voice is questioning and firm. “Am I not allowed to do nice things?” Maki huffs, putting her hands on her hips. “What’s the point in being rich if I can’t buy gifts?” “We thought you’d like it.” Bubbles states, rubbing her wrist nervously. Mitsuko holds her shrewd stare for a moment, then closes the case. She stands, staring at the two women with a wary grimace. “You have an ulterior motive.” The raven haired woman meets Maki’s hazel eyes, hands mirroring the smaller womans as they rest on Mitsuko’s smaller hips. Eve looks between the two as silence stretches between them like a taut rubber band…. “Would you play with me?” Mitsuko’s eyes snap to the giantess, a blush in her caramel cheeks as her singular gaze points downward. “You...want me to play music with you?” Four pairs of eyes, yours included, look on as the giantess nods slowly. “I haven’t played in a long time.” Mitsuko pauses, her expression softening. “But I I wouldn’t mind giving it a go with you.” You’re surprised as a giggle escapes the raven haired woman's lips. “Wonderful! I look forward to hearing you both!” Maki chuckles, hands on her hips proudly. You see Bubbles nod enthusiastically, that small smile twitching across her face. Eve has a massive grin as her sister simply smiles softly. “As do I.” You can’t help but grin as Mitsuko picks up the case, clutching it to her chest like a mother would her child. “Shall we head inside?” “Of course, darling.” Maki laughs, sauntering up the steps.

Anna stands as formal as ever, her hands folded in front of her as Eve grins broadly, fidgeting in place. Mitsuko stands next to Anna, arms at her side. A neutral expression is on her face as you stand next to her. “This will be your first time meeting them, won’t it?” You tilt your a head for a moment, remembering that Mitsuko hasn’t yet met Maki or Bubbles. “It is.” She nods idly. “You’ll love Miss Bubbles! She’s so cool!” Eve giggles, clapping her hands together. You smile as Maki steps out from the car, smiling broadly in tight jeans and a shirt. “Darling!” You smile as Maki throws her arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug. “Hello, Maki.” You nod as she pulls away, her head swiveling towards Mitsuko. “Ohhh! Who is this? A new addition?” Maki circles Mitsuko with a wolfish smile, licking her lips. The taller woman eyes Maki cautiously as she comes back to the front, hands on her hips. “This is Mitsuko. Mitsuko, this is Maki.” You smile as Mitsuko bows politely. “Oooo. This one’s older! She’s got a stubborness in her eyes...definitely some fire! Very nice in the outfit as well.” Maki giggles, eyes lingering on Mitsuko’s ample chest. “Thank you, ma’am.” You can see the wariness apparent on Mitsuko’s face. You’re distracted when Eve starts laughing, your gaze snapping back to the car. Eve has thrown her arms around Bubbles, crouched down in tight jeans to return the embrace. You smile as Eve starts helping Bubbles pull bags from the trunk of the car. “Mitsuko, that’s--.” You turn back to Mitsuko and are startled to see her staring at the giantess, eyes wide in what you can tell is recognition. You see her tense, eyes flitting to Eve then back to Bubbles. “Titan.” Her voice is quiet and stern. You’re surprised to see Maki’s grin evaporate, eyes narrowing as she steps in front of Mitsuko, lips pressed together. “How do you know that name?” She asked curiously, her hazel eyes flickering towards you. “I’ve...I saw her fight once with a previous master.” Mitsuko’s tone is hesitant and tense, her eyes looking past Maki to Eve and Bubbles approaching you. The red headed girl is practically dragging the giantess by her arm, a huge smile on her face. “Bubbles! This is Mitsuko!” Eve points to the raven-haired woman. Bubbles looks down with her singular gaze, nodding to Anna before looking at Mitsuko. “Hello.” Bubbles voice rumbles pleasantly, raising a hand in a small wave. You see Mitsuko’s eyebrow raise, lips pressed together as she glares at the giantess. You see a fierceness in her eyes that reminds you of a threatened cat, the muscles in her arms and back tensed. You frown and put a hand on Mitsuko’s shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze as Maki glares defiantly at the taller, raven-haired woman.. Mitsuko turns slightly, looking to you for a moment before turning back. “My apologies. Hello.” She bows slightly, her tone flat and her eyes never leaving the massive woman. “I can’t wait for you to taste Mitsuko’s cooking! She’s really good like Anna!” Eve pulls Bubbles arms towards the mansion with a smile. The giantess picks up the bags before following the excited Eve, Mitsuko’s eyes trailing the two shrewdly. Wordlessly the raven haired woman follows the two, Anna bowing politely to Maki before following after her sister. “Where did you find her?” Maki’s voice is quiet and thoughtful as she watches the girls go. “I found her at the porn shop in Pendelton with a black eye.” You shrug. Maki taps her chin for a moment in thought, tilting her head towards you. “Definitely some iron in that woman.

We'll be arriving in a few minutes," She purrs in your ear. //What, wait? She's coming to visit?// There's a giggle from the other end of the line. You have to wonder if it's because she knew what you would be thinking, "We thought perhaps that we'd stay for a few days to visit since I have some business nearby," She says. "Sure, that's fine," You reply, your mind in high gear as you try to plan for her arrival, "I'll be down to the gate to let you in momentarily." "See you soon darling," Without even waiting for your reply, you hear the phone go dead. "Anna," You call out, "Maki is coming for a visit, she'll be here in about ten minutes!"

Your footsteps take you in a brisk walk toward the front gate, arriving just moments before you see a black car slowing as it approaches. You swing open the gate, allowing the car entry.

You lock the gate after the black car drives in, jogging quickly back to the girls. Anna stands with her hands folded politely in front of her while Eve shifts from one leg to another, a broad and expectant smile on her face. You watch the car shift as the massive form of the caramel amazon Bubbles steps out of the driver's seat. You’re mildly intrigued to see her in simple jeans and a shirt, though much bigger than ones you’ve seen in stores. She quickly steps to the passenger side, opening the door for her mistress. “Darlings! So good to see you!” Maki spreads her arms wide. You smile as Eve surges forward, first hugging the midsection of Bubbles before embracing Maki as Anna gives her a stern glare. “Welcome back, Maki.” You nod, hugging her as she sashays over to you. She then regards Anna with a soft smile. “Hello Miss Morichi.” Anna nods, bowing politely. “Anna, darling!” The pale girl squeaks as Maki embraces her, bringing a smile to your face. “I’m so looking forward to this getaway! I love my quirky little island, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something to be said for a change of venue once and a while, you know?” “I understand. Maybe someday we’ll go visit you.” You grin. You see an uncomfortable expression on Anna’s face at your words, but she says nothing as Maki laughs. “You’re always welcome, darling! I’m sure the girls would love to be pampered for a weekend.” You watch Bubbles pull luggage from the trunk as Eve does her best to help. “What do you say, Anna?” “If that’s what you wish, <<print $player.firstName>>.” Anna’s tone is nervous and unsure. “I’d love to see an island! Are there beaches?” Eve pipes up, dragging a large roller bag behind her. “There’s one or two. We also have a tiny lake!” Maki smiles. “We should go visit! Can we, <<print $player.firstName>>?” Eve looks at you expectantly while you see Anna’s face twitch. “Maybe!” You smile as Bubbles and Eve start taking the bags up the steps. “Well, let’s get cleaned up! I feel like lounging around the pool….or maybe mixing a drink!” Maki laughs, walking after her companion. You and Anna quickly follow.

Your view wanders to the window as the morning light pours in.You can see the backyard in its entirety, but you are surprised by an intriguing scene. You see the familiar form of the caramel giantess Bubbles, sitting cross legged on the grass. Her hands rest on her knees, and next to her sits her smaller Asian companion. Maki is similarly posed, her eyes closed with a smile you can barely make out. What truly surprises you is the taller form of Mitsuko sitting next to them, hands resting on her knees with her palms pointed skyward. She wears a calm expression, nearly serene in its tranquility. //Well, that’s encouraging.// You smirk, enjoying the two Asian women not being combative. //Let’s see how long that lasts….// Submitted by LFN Park

Your view wanders to the window as the morning light pours in.You can see the backyard in its entirety, but you are surprised by an intriguing scene. You see the familiar form of Mitsuko jogging into view. Towering next to her is the cyclopean giantess Bubbles, keeping pace with her. Both pause for a moment, turning to look behind them as the panting form of Maki catches up to them. The smaller woman is leaning forward, hands on her knees as you see her body heave. She seems to be out of breath and wears a flushed expression. //They must be jogging.// You muse. You watch Mitsuko place her hands on her hips, standing proudly as she looks at the turquoise haired woman. Bubbles rubs her face for a moment in what you think is consternation before approaching her companion. You can’t hear their words but you see Maki wave her lover off, staggering back towards the mansion. Mitsuko turns, giving you full view of an arrogant smirk before Bubbles follows the smaller woman.

The sharp twang of familiar strings draws you to the window as the morning light pours in. You can see the backyard in its entirety, but you are surprised by an intriguing scene. Outside you see the raven haired Mitsuko sitting on the grass, her shamisen slung around her shoulders. One hand stays near the top, her fingers deftly pressing the strings as the other holds the wooden bachi and plucks at the strings. The tune is unfamiliar, but haunting in the twanging buzz of the foreign instrument. Sitting before her is the giantess known as Bubbles and her companion Maki. The smaller woman sits between the massive legs of Bubbles, her back pressing against her stomach as caramel arms wrap around the smaller womans shoulders. Both have their eyes closed, a serene expression on their face as your Asian servant continues to play. //That’s so sweet.// You smile warmly, enjoying the tune as it dances on the morning breeze for a few peaceful moments.

<<if $bubblesMitsuko is 1 and $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>You watch Bubbles and Eve carrying out the luggage, Anna and Mitsuko standing on either side of you. You turn to Mitsuko, a certain tenseness still in her features but not nearly as much as when the giantess arrived. “You’re good now?” You ask, looking sternly at the raven-haired woman. “Yes. We’ve...agreed to be civil.” She nods, her eyes still on the caramel giantess. “Eve is very convincing.” “She certainly has her ways…” You mutter, looking at Eve as she pushes a bag into the back of the car. Your gaze turns back as you hear Maki approach, a smile ever present on her face as she gives you a lingering hug. “As always you provide….interesting diversions, darling.” She smirked, patting you on the hip before turning to the taller Mitsuko, cocking her head to one side. “You...I haven’t decided on you yet, honestly. You are an enigma...usually I find that appealing.” Maki tapped her lips for a moment as Mitsuko remains silent, eyes locked with the olive womans defiantly. “Stll, as long as you and my love are on neutral terms you’ll have almost no worry from me.” Maki chuckled, looking back to you. “Almost?” You ask, raising an eyebrow. “Well. Always have to leave a little room for mischief, darling.” Maki giggled, giving Anna a hug. She turns as Eve and Bubbles approach, catching the red head in an embrace as well. You see Mitsuko and Bubbles stare at each other for a moment, a temporary tension between them before Bubbles nods almost imperceptibly. Mitsuko bows slightly, her eyes turning back to Eve after straightening. “I’ll go get the gate.” You jog to the gate, unlocking it for the two as the car quickly approaches. You see Maki give you a wave as they pass, and you return the gesture before locking the gate again. As you come back to the girls, ou see Eve with a smug smile aimed up at Mitsuko. “I’m so happy you and Miss Bubbles get along now!” She giggles, hands clapping. “We’ve...reached an agreement.” Mitsuko nods. “Good.” The satisfaction and smugness in Eve’s tone makes you smile. “All right girls. You still have chores to do.” They nod as you all head back into the Mansion. [[End.|$location]]<<set $makiVisit to false>> Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom<<set $bubblesMitsuko += 1>><<else>>Knowing that Maki will be leaving soon, Anna, Eve, and yourself gather in the entry hall to say your goodbyes. When Bubbles quietly exits through the front door with the luggage, Eve quickly follows. You and Anna exit a few seconds later with Maki making an appreciative sound from behind you as she trails a couple of steps behind. You watch as the caramel giantess loads the luggage into the car while Eve attempts to help, struggling to lift the biggest items as if she has something to prove. Anna stands beside you, watching her sister carefully until Maki strolls out of the mansion right behind you. Maki stops a couple of steps in front of you then turns to face you and Anna, “Darlings! A delight, as always! Would that I could stay longer…” You watch her hug Anna with a smile before you embrace her as well. “It’s been quite fun having you, Maki.” You smile, then gulp when you feel a hand pinch your left cheek. The olive woman grins naughtily as she steps back. “Yes. Back to the real world, though.” She sighs, looking back to the car. You watch as Eve gives Bubbles a hug before scampering over to Maki. “Thanks for letting Miss Bubbles play with me!” She smiles at the older woman, who laughs. “Oh darling. Never a problem. My dear Bubbles thoroughly enjoys your company, as do I!” Maki ruffles Eve’s red hair playfully. The younger girl giggles before scurrying next to her sister. You jog down to the gate as Maki and Bubble get in, opening it quickly. “So long darling! I’ll see you next time!” Maki waves from the open window as she drives by, her smile wide. You wave as well before closing the gate, jogging back to the girls. “Well, back to work then!” You smile at the girls.

Entry Hall

You see Maki and Mitsuko in the warm water. Mitsuko rests lower so that only her head peeks from the surface of the bathing pool. Maki stands fully, a smile on her face as you see her hands brushing out the taller woman’s hair in the water. You watch for a moment as she begins weaving the long black hair of your servant, an uncomfortable Mitsuko looking back briefly. She giggles as she weaves the long hair into two long pigtails, letting them float in the water. You watch Mitsuko examine one, a frown on her face as she glares back at Maki. The olive woman smiles and laughs before beginning to undo the pigtails. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park

You see Mitsuko standing outside the guest room, her hands folded politely in front of her as her eyes dart towards the door. She nods to you as you approach, and you can see the door is slightly ajar. Further, you can hear the voices of your two guests within. “Come on. It’ll be fun!” You hear the whimsy filled giggle of Maki. “I don’t want to.” Bubbles gravitas is unmistakable, though you can tell there is some anger there. “What’s wrong, love? You seem upset.” Maki’s happy tone has changed to one of concern. “I am.” “Why?” “I feel like I don’t matter. Like...my words mean nothing to you.” You gulp, questioning whether you should be listening to this. You see Mitsuko staring intently at the door, head tilted slightly. [[Continue listening.|Submitted Maki Bubbles Guestroom 2a]] [[Walk away.|Submitted Maki Bubbles Guestroom 2b]] Submitted by LFN Park

“You know that’s not true.” “Is it? I asked you not to do this. You laugh. You laughed and told me it’d be fine….like my words meant nothing. Like I’m nothing but your slave.” You can hear the pain and anger straining Bubbles’ words. “That’s not true!” “I told you we’d settled it; Mitsuko and I were settled. You then get this….this idea, this dumb thought in your head. Like you felt….she wasn’t punished? Is this because you’re trying to avenge me? Because she hurt me?” You see Mitsuko’s eyes widen for a moment in surprise as Bubbles speaks. “Bubbles, I--” “Maybe it’s just some whim. To see someone cowtow to you who’s so proud. I don’t know if that’s worse or better. I want to believe it’s because you feel she slighted me. At least that’s based in love, but even then? I don’t need you to….to punish people who hurt me. I’m not a child.” You can hear the hurt in the deep tone of the caramel giantess. “I know that, but….Do you know how upset I am when someone hurts you? This woman….this woman hurt my love. She made you cry and nothing happened.... How the hell can I let that stand? As is she’s getting off easy. If this had been at the cove--” You’re surprised to hear Maki’s voice crack for a moment, emotion and anger bleeding through. “Then nothing. I told you we’d settled it. We’d buried it.” “A ceasefire is not a god damn peace treaty! How is she supposed to learn without punishment? I adore John, but--” “But he didn’t punish her, right? A slave in error need punishment. She’s just a slave. Like me.” You hear contempt tinge Bubbles words. “You’re not a slave--” “Because /you/ say so. I love you, but I’m as much a slave as she is. At least, I feel like it. I don’t /feel/ like your equal, like your partner or lover when you...you so easily ignore my words. When you make me feel so small…It’s like Howard all over again.” You can hear the cracking from Bubbles voice, and you suspect there may be tears. “That’s unfair and you know it. I’m nothing like him; I love you!” There’s a desperate sincerity in Maki’s tone that surprises you. “I know, but sometimes...sometimes you treat me like he did. I don’t think you mean to…..I hope you don’t. Every time you do, I...I don’t feel like a person. You know I struggle with that.” You gulp and step back a bit, looking at Mitsuko. “That’s….wow….” You murmur, rubbing the back of your neck. “All this from that fight with Bubbles...was it even worth it?” “Yes.” Mitsuko’s quick answer surprises you. “It was necessary. We….needed to work things out.” The tall woman tilts her head toward the door, the voices within more subdued. “If you say so.” You sigh. “She really loves her. That’s...sad.” You raise your eyebrow questioningly at Mitsuko. “Why would you say that?” “I mean….she’s still a slave in the end. It’s easy for a slave to love their Master. The other way around…..well. You can hear how it’s working out.” She nods slightly to the door. “Every couple has arguments and problems, Mitsuko. Their relationship is….more complex than most.” “She’s stubborn and completely transparent.” Mitsuko huffs, an angry glint in her eye. “You mean Maki?” “Of course. You could tell what she was up to at the start…” The raven haired woman shrugs. “Then why’d you agree to it?” “Because she challenged me. Had she not cheated, I would have won.” You can hear the anger in Mitsuko’s tone. //Speaking of stubborn….// You can’t help but be amused at Mitsuko’s words. “Well. I hope they work it out.” “Doubtful.” Mitsuko shakes her head sadly. You sigh and continue walking down the hall. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park

Your phone beeps at you in your pocket. You pull it out and are surprised to see a text alert, its author labeled as Maki. Opening it, you see two different messages from her. The first is simple text; Maki: its working!!!!! :):):):) The second message is a picture of Bubbles. Her face fills the screen, and you smile as you see her lips curling upward in the tiniest grin; if you weren’t familiar with her normally stoic expression you’re not sure you’d even be able to tell the difference. //That’s fantastic!// You think, relieved that the ointment you made is finally starting to work.

Your phone beeps at you in your pocket. You smile as you see yet another text alert from Maki. This time the first message is a picture of Bubbles sitting in a chair, hand raised and supposedly waving back at you. You can see her face, normally stoic and expressionless, has the smallest smile on it.. The picture is accompanied by a simple text; Maki: its so small! I love it! You can’t help but chuckle, feeling satisfaction at Bubbles progress. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 2}>>

As you enter the gym, your stomach is in knots. Anna and Eve are waiting for you. Anna has her hands folded in front of her and a darkly neutral expression while Eve has worry and concern painted across it. Maki is next to Anna, arms folded with an impatient glare towards the gym door. There’s no smile today, which worries you as you stand next to Anna and Eve. Standing on one of the larger mats is the caramel giantess known as Bubbles. Her hands and feet are covered in around four inches of tape, her casual jeans and shirt replaced with her workout gear you’ve seen her in before. There is a determination in her eye that makes you question what you’ve done. You hear footsteps and turn to the door.You tilt your head curiously as you see Mitsuko walk in, dressed very oddly. Gone is her normal maid uniform, replaced instead with green and black leggings up to mid-thigh level and a similarly colored skirt, her arms also covered up to the last half of her fingers. A red cloth is tied around her midsection, a stark contrast to the dark green. Maki looks over at you questioningly. “I didn’t buy it for her….” You shrug. “Then where did she get it? It doesn’t look fake.” Maki looks back at Mitsuko with slightly more interest. “She looks like a ninja.” Eve whispers, looking up at you. You watch the two circle each other, muscles taut. Mitsuko’s stance is low while Bubbles’ reminds you of a boxer. You idly wonder which one will swing first….but that is answered when Bubbles surges forward. You watch her swing with a series of punches, quite sure any one would lay you flat on your back. You’re quite surprised as Mitsuko ducks and weaves around them with a surprising ease, an unbroken grimace on her face. You sneak a glance over to Maki, whose face has gone from boredom to rapt attention as she watches the older woman. It continues for a few moments until you see Mitsuko sidestep one of Bubbles punches and grasp her arm. You blink and you miss the motion, but you hear the resounding crash of the massive giantess landing back first on the mat. You feel Anna and Eve press against you, a tiny whimper coming from one of them. “What the hell….” Maki cocks her head to one side. You turn back to the fight and see Bubbles already back on her feet, a defiant glare aimed at the ninja-garbed woman. You swear you see a faint smile on Mitsuko’s face that concerns you… You watch as Bubbles moves in again, her punches shorter and more careful in this exchange. She tries to kick into Mitsuko’s side, but you watch her twist and step forward, catching Bubbles in the side with one closed palm. You hear her grunt in surprise before swinging an elbow down at Mitsuko’s head to no avail. You turn away for a moment as you hear a whimper next to you. Eve is clinging to your arm, a pained expression on her face that seems to worsen as she watches the fight. Your head snaps back to the fight when you hear someone crash to the mat once again, seeing the caramel form of Bubbles already nipping to her feet. This time the exchange is faster, Bubbles fists swinging relentlessly and Mitsuko continues avoiding, though you hold your breath a few times as some blows come close to landing. You are surprised to see Mitsuko go on the offensive after ducking underneath another jab. You see her arm snake out, delivering a strike to Bubbles shoulder before kicking the back of her knee. You gasp when the giantess drops to a kneel and Mitsuko swings one of her long legs around towards her head. Shock and surprise cross Mitsuko’s face when Bubbles catches her leg with her arms, turning and pivoting to sling her like a rag doll. You hear the collected gasp of the girls and yourself when she crashes against the gym wall and drops to the ground, momentarily dazed. The giantess moves with surprising swiftness, swinging her foot towards Mitsuko’s face. You exhale when you see her narrowly dodge, pushing up into a crouch. You see her twist to avoid Bubbles arm, knocking it aside as she presses her back against the larger woman’s chest and drives an elbow behind her right into Bubbles stomach. You gulp when you see barely any reaction cross her caramel face. You see her try to twist around the giantess, but a massive arm catches her and lifts her feet off the ground as it tightens around her neck. You hear Bubbles grunt repeatedly as Mitsuko’s elbow jackhammers into her chest over and over, but you can see the muscles in Bubbles arm tighten in response as Mitsuko’s feet kick against the wall. You barely register Eve’s voice next to you…. “Stop! Just stop! Please!” Your mesmerization is broken when you feel Eve pull away from you, dashing towards the fighting women. You shake your head for a moment, cursing yourself for being so taken with the fight and not paying attention to the other girls. “Eve!” You hear Anna and Maki in chorus as they say the redheads name. Your movements are too slow as Mitsuko raises her legs, pressing her feet firmly against the wall and pushing. You watch in horror as Bubbles is forced back into Eve, losing her balance and toppling backwards. You hear Anna shriek as all three end up on the ground, the older girls piled on top of the redhead. “Oh hell.” Maki is surprisingly quick, already on the mat closely followed by Anna as Mitsuko and Bubbles disentangle from each other. The two women’s aggression drains with the color in their faces as they both look at the fallen form of Eve, laying in a daze. “Eve!” Anna drops to her knees, clutching her sister to her body protectively. “Let me see.” Maki kneels next to Anna as she continues babbling. “I’m fine! I’m fine!” You hear Eve grumble as Anna and Maki attend to her. You turn to Mitsuko and Bubbles, both standing and staring at the fallen girl. Mitsuko’s hands are in her hair, concern and worry apparent as Bubbles single eye is wide in shock. The caramel giantess holds one hand over her mouth, a faint tremble in her arms. “Here, let me-” Mitsuko starts forward to check on Eve, but recoils when Anna gives her an angry glare. “You’ve done enough!” The blonde girl snaps, surprising even you. “Does anything hurt?” Maki asks. “No! I’m fine!” You see Mitsuko wringing her hands, eyes flitting from Eve to the exit as Bubbles continues to shake. You glare at both of them; Bubbles withers as Mitsuko averts her eyes. “You could’ve killed her! I can’t...God. I can’t talk to you two right now.” You shake your head. You watch as Mitsuko starts towards the door as Bubbles turns her back to you…. “Stop!” Eve’s voice cuts through the room, freezing the older woman in her tracks as Bubbles gaze snaps past you. Turning, you see Eve pulling away from Maki and Anna with an angry pout that would make you laugh in a different situation. The diminutive redhead stomps up to the two women. “You’re being so stupid!” She jabs a finger up at Mitsuko first, her other hand resting on her hip. “I don’t know why you don’t like Miss Bubbles. She’s been nothing but nice and you’ve been a bully! Grow up!” She jerks her finger over to Bubbles, staring defiantly up at the shell-shocked giantess. “And you can’t punch every problem to fix it! You’re smart, but you’re acting like a thug! You let her goad you into a fight!” Eve puts both her hands on her hips, an angry glare at the two women. “You’re acting like children! You should be ashamed!” Eve huffs for a moment, her cheeks puffing out momentarily as the two women wither under her tiny fury. “Now follow me! We’re going to settle this in a civilized manner! Tea and cookies!” Eve turns on her heel, marching out of the gym with her head held high as Mitsuko and Bubbles slowly follow, trepidation in their steps. Maki steps next to you as you watch, rubbing the back of your neck slowly. “Wow.” “She has a Dom voice….” Maki murmurs, smiling brightly. “Say what?” You turn to face her as Anna stands at your side. “A Dominatrixes voice. Very commanding. Very natural for sweet Eve.” You see a twitch in Anna’s face. “That’s….okay. I hope she straightens them out. God knows I couldn’t.” You sigh, rubbing your eyes. “Don’t be too hard on yourself, darling. I don’t think you know who you really bought.” You turn towards Maki, eyebrow raised questioningly. “You found that girl in a Porn shop?” You nod slowly as Maki steeps her fingers together in thought. “That girl has had training, and I don’t mean just cooking. Nobody can go toe to toe with my Bubbles like that without years of combat training. Very intense training. The outfit goes without saying as well.” She taps her chin with one long nail, her tone thoughtful. “I didn’t know she could fight. She’s been stubborn, for sure….” You sigh. “Most fighters are. Bubbles first week? She didn’t even look at me. Hell, she tried to fight me. Broken ribs, stab wound…still tried. I’d be careful with that one.” Maki smiles wide for a moment before strolling towards the exit. You turn to Anna, standing quietly next to you with her gaze to the floor. “We should check on Eve in a little bit.” [[End.|$location]]<<set $mitsukoBubbles to 3>> Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

As you approach the kitchen, you’re surprised to see the light on and voices coming from it. You peer around the edge of the doorframe and see Mitsuko standing in the kitchen in her nightgown. You’re shocked to see her staring up at the scarred visage of the giantess known as Bubbles. Mitsuko has her eyes narrowed and you hear her speaking in her native tongue up at Bubbles, who remains stoic as ever. Bubbles sighs, glaring down at her. “Stop. I understand you. I always have.” You see Mitsuko’s eyes widen in surprise. “How can you possibly know my dialect?” “Maki’s taught me. I understand enough. You insult me. Constantly. Why?” You see the anger in Bubbles’ blue eye and gulp reflexively. You’re almost surprised the two girls haven’t noticed you yet, but their eyes are locked like two bulls’ horns. “The Dragon. You dishonored him.” [[Leave.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1a]] [[Listen.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1a]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

“Who is Dragon?” You hear confusion in Bubbles’ deep tone. “Master Fujimara’s finest warrior. His illegitimate son. You don’t remember?” The taller girl shrugged in response, seeming to further infuriate your servant. “I’ve fought many. I never knew names.” “Typical of an oni.” You see Bubbles flinch, her eye narrowing. You can’t help but bristle at the blatant insult and see the caramel girl clench her fists tightly. “Watch your mouth.” “Or what? You won’t leave your Mistress’ leash. A slave obeys.” You gulp as Bubbles steps closer to Mitsuko, towering over her as she bares her teeth. “I’m more restrained. If Maki heard you? She’d break you.” Bubbles growl sends a chill down your spine. “She’d try.” There’s a steel in Mitsuko’s voice that you find concerning. “Maki isn’t here. We are. Explain Dragon.” You see Mitsuko’s hands open and close into tight fists. You can feel the anger seething from your servant. “I served Master Fujimara in the East. Dragon was one of his fighters….his best. He was strong and noble…” You see her eyes soften in remembrance. “He was Fujimara’s child by a slave he owned….never acknowledged but he carried on like a true man. Dragon was….He was kinder to me than he had any right to be.” You hear a cracking in her voice. “An agreement between your old master and Fujimara brought us to The Bloc. You….” You see her take a breath, the anger in her voice rising. “You and he fought.” Bubbles tilts her head curiously, her brow furrowing in thought. “Did I kill him?” You’re surprised at how quiet Bubbles voice is with that question. “If he’d died in battle, at least he would’ve kept his honor. Bad enough you...you destroyed him so quickly…..” Mitsuko stops for a moment to lean against the kitchen counter, her eyes still locked to the caramel amazon. “You didn’t have the decency to finish him. You just walked away. Like he was nothing. Like he wasn’t worth anything.” Her voice goes low, simmering with hate. Bubbles tilts her head the other way, brow still furrowed. “You loved him?” Mitsuko’s face curls into a snarl. “I respected him. He never came back. He….would just stare. No words. He’d barely eat. Barely talk….You broke his body and mind and made him a vegetable.” You see Bubbles face darken, turning away from Mitsuko’s gaze. You hold your breath as the silence stretches between them, the tension palpable like a loaded gun. “Nothing to say? No words for your barbarity?” “What is there?” The quiet intensity surprises you as it cuts Mitsuko off. “If I said my brother had just died? Would that change anything? If I apologized? If I said injuries happen? Nothing changes. You’ll still be angry. He’ll still be suffering.” “Suffering? You dare talk of suffering after what you did? Can you even fathom what it’s like to see someone you care so deeply for just...look past you? Like you’re not even there? What have you even suffered?” Mitsuko growled. You gulp when you see Bubbles tense, the muscles in her back becoming more visible underneath her nightgown. You almost step in when you see her fists clench tightly, feeling concern about a brawl breaking out… You’re not sure Mitsuko doesn’t deserve a bit of thrashing, however. [[Step in.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1c]] [[See how it plays out.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1d]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

You step into the doorway, clearing your throat. You see Bubbles head turn slightly, muscles relaxing underneath her gown. She looks back at Mitsuko, whose eyes remind you of dinner plates with their size, before turning and walking past you with angry stomps. You can’t blame her. “What the hell is wrong with you?” You growl, stepping forward. “What did I ask.--what did I TELL you not to do?” “She confronted me, Master.” Mitsuko’s eyes are defiant as they stare into yours. “And you call her an oni? I don’t even know what that is, but judging from how much it pissed her off? It’s obviously not what you should have done.” You rub your eyes with a sigh when you see no hint of apology on her face. “Least of all you basically ignoring what I specifically told you to do; let me tell you something you may not know. The first time Maki and Bubbles came here? They were quite willing to kill me if I’d mistreated anyone living here. They said that to Anna, and Maki has confirmed it.” “And you still let them into your home? Let //that// play with Eve?” You bristle at the angry tone in Mitsuko’s voice. “Yes, because I’m not my Uncle. Had I been anything like him, they would have killed me. The point is; you’re provoking a seven foot tall amazon who could, quite literally, pop your head or mine off our shoulders like a wine cork.” You step closer, eyes narrowing in anger. “She’s a slave. I’ve said nothing to Maki that would let her off the leash.” You groan in frustration, rubbing your face. “Bubbles isn’t Maki’s slave. I don’t think she’s a slave anymore, period.” “That’s not possible.” You see a glimmer of confusion in Mitsuko’s glare that belies the disbelief in her tone. “Your belief is irrelevant to the truth. The only control Maki has over that woman is that they love each other, so everything else is restraint from Bubbles. If I’m being truthful? I couldn’t blame her for taking a swing at you at this point.” [[Discipline Mitsuko.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1e]] [[A Challenge.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1f]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

You watch Bubbles inhale sharply as Mitsuko tenses, her eyes narrowing dangerously at the giantess. “I regret what you went through.” You shiver at how low Bubbles voice is. “I sympathize. Loss is….terrible. Still, no more. You want to instigate me. Make me strike you? No. You want a fight? Ask your master. Maki will have no issue. I’ve none now.” The giantess turns abruptly, walking away from Mitsuko. She stops in the doorway when she sees you, her blue eye boring into yours with a fierceness that makes you wilt slightly. In silence, Bubbles walks down the hall past you. You sigh and step into the doorway, glaring at Mitsuko. “What the hell is wrong with you?” You growl, stepping forward. “What did I ask.--what did I TELL you not to do?” “She confronted me, Master.” Mitsuko’s eyes are defiant as they stare into yours. “And you call her an oni? I don’t even know what that is, but judging from how much it pissed her off? It’s obviously not what you should have done.” You rub your eyes with a sigh when you see no hint of apology on her face. “Least of all you basically ignoring what I specifically told you to do; let me tell you something you may not know. The first time Maki and Bubbles came here? They were quite willing to kill me if I’d mistreated anyone living here. They said that to Anna, and Maki has confirmed it.” “And you still let them into your home? Let //that// play with Eve?” You bristle at the angry tone in Mitsuko’s voice. “Yes, because I’m not my Uncle. Had I been anything like him, they would have killed me. The point is; you’re provoking a seven foot tall amazon who could, quite literally, pop your head or mine off our shoulders like a wine cork.” You step closer, eyes narrowing in anger. “She’s a slave. I’ve said nothing to Maki that would let her off the leash.” You groan in frustration, rubbing your face. “Bubbles isn’t Maki’s slave. I don’t think she’s a slave anymore, period.” “That’s not possible.” You see a glimmer of confusion in Mitsuko’s glare that belies the disbelief in her tone. “Your belief is irrelevant to the truth. The only control Maki has over that woman is that they love each other, so everything else is restraint from Bubbles. if I’m being truthful? I couldn’t blame her for taking a swing at you at this point.” [[Discipline Mitsuko.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1e]] [[A Challenge.|Maki Bubbles Mitsuko Kitchen 1f]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

With a sigh you unbuckle your belt, there's confusion in her eyes. "You leave me no choice, if you're going to disobey me then I will have to teach you." You motion for her to turn around. Hesitantly, she does as you tell her to, you can see her expression turn cold as she places her hands against the counter, presenting herself for your punishment. pulling your belt off, you fold it together into a makeshift whip. "Pull up your skirt." You demand. Slowly she reaches back, grabbing the hem of her skirt and lifting it up around her waist, holding it there. Giving you a nice view of her plump butt covered by a pair of sexy lace panties. You grab her underwear, tugging them down to her knees. You give her porcelain skin a couple of light gropes, enjoying the feel of her pliant cheeks before pulling your hand away. A shiver runs through her body as you lift your arm up, a second later you bring it down, striking her rump. A loud crack echoes through the room as you bring your hand up again, this time you smack the other cheek, leaving behind a red welt. You repeat the process several times, hitting her with your belt twenty, thirty times before your arm finally grows sore and you toss the makeshift whip aside. Throughout the punishment Mitsuko is silent, only when you stop do you notice her sopping wet cunt as you take a step back.

“It wouldn’t end well for her.” You stare in disbelief at the confident glare of the woman before you. “Mitsuko….When we met you had a black eye from a porn shop owner. That woman has been fighting since she was a kid, not to mention she’s probably stronger than everyone in this mansion combined. You can’t possibly believe you can take her.” “You overestimate her ability.” You throw your arms up in frustration at the stubbornness of this woman. //To hell with it….// “You know what? Fine. You keep pushing her and pushing her, so let’s just get this over with. You want to get in a fight with her? Tomorrow we’ll have a fight in the gym!” You’re unsure if you see joy or trepidation in her eyes as you speak. “If that’s what you wish.” You balk as she bows slightly. “It’s not what I wish! I don’t want you to fight her, but you’re obviously hell bent on it! No bone breaking and no killing, but after this that’s it. No more insults, no more antagonizing. If I catch a whiff of you disrespecting any of my guests again? You might as well pack up and leave, because you’ll have no place here.” You see the hard steel in her eyes meet yours, then you sigh as she nods. “Yes, master.” “Good. Go get some sleep.” You watch her walk past you as you rub your forehead. //Shit. Tomorrow’s going to suck….// [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

You can feel the blood flowing to your erection as it strains painfully against your pants, you hurriedly unzip them, pulling your throbbing member free. You turn your attention to the woman in front of you, panting from her punishment seconds ago. Rushing forward your hands grip her hips, locking her in place as you thrust your rod into her. With Mitsuko's guard down, you slide into her soft, fleshy entrance the walls of her passage vibrating as you push in. She lets out a howl as you do, a mixture of pain and pleasure at the sudden intrusion, you give her a second to adjust before pulling out and slamming back in. You reach up and grab a handful of her hair, tugging her head back you lean in. "Those who obey are well rewarded." You whisper, sending another shiver up her spine. She moans every time your hips meet, suddenly her pussy tightens around your dick. Nearly bringing you to climax as she orgasms. You hold on for several seconds before you feel yourself explode inside her, streams of semen shooting out against her cervix. With your balls empty, you pull out, your sperm dripping from her sodden box a second later. You admire your handiwork before giving her butt a light slap, her knees buckle before her whole body collapses. She rests her head against the counter, exhausted. You walk away, leaving her to clean herself up. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park and Irish Major Tom

"Get yourself clean up and get out of my sight, don't let this happen again." A serious tone to your voice. For a moment she ignores you, catching her breath. You watch her pull her panties up, straighten out her skirt and compose herself before giving you a polite, cold bow, making her way out of the kitchen on wobbly legs.

Entering the gym, you see Bubbles standing near the far wall, looking out one of the large windows out across the back yard of the estate. You hesitate, then taking a deep breath you finish entering the room. Your footsteps inevitably lead you to her side. Before you can say anything in greeting, her deep rumbling baritone fills your ears, "I frighten you," Her words are said with such certainty that you know she's not asking. "Is it that obvious?" You reply after only a split second of hesitation. Bubbles finally turns to face you, her single eye a little sad as she regards you, "Not as obvious as most." //I hadn't really thought about her effect on people beyond myself and the other people in my home.// "I don't mean to be," You admit, "You're huge, you're a fighter, and you were willing to kill me the first time we met. Something like that tends to have a lasting impression on someone." Bubbles' brow furrows, then she nods and start to turn away. "Wait," You say quickly, stopping her, "Let me finish." You can see Bubbles' shoulders slump just a little as she turns back toward you, "Then finish." "I like you, I really do," Bubbles' voice cuts you off. "But?" She says in a deep rumble. "No buts. I've never met someone like you. You're intimidating, watching you fight is fearsome, and quite honestly I don't always know how to behave around you," Every word out of your mouth seems to darken the giantess' mood further. "That doesn't matter though," You hastily add, "Even though we didn't meet under the best of circumstances, you have always been polite and kind to me, and more importantly, you make Eve happy," You pause, trying to gather your thoughts, "Have you ever known someone who you admire, someone you like, but just being in that person's presence is enough to make you a little off balanced, knowing that they could hurt you even though part of you know they never would?" You pause. It's several seconds before she says anything, "Maki." For a second, you aren't sure you heard her right, but then she continues. "Maki's the strongest person I know. She loves me. She can hurt me. She doesn't, but I worry." Bubbles admits, her single eye widening in surprise at her own words. Reaching out, you touch her comfortingly on the shoulder, "It's a little bit like that," A sudden smile forms on your lips, "Think of it as a me having a //very// healthy respect for your talents." You can see the muscles tighten around her eyes in amusement, "I could still crush you." In spite of her deadpan tone, you can see the humor in her eyes as she says it, "And Eve would miss me." Bubbles' sudden laughter nearly startles you, "I like you too," She says, turning away and moving to the weights.

You see Maki amidst the shelves, idly flipping through various books before putting them back. Her companion Bubbles is sitting on the floor next to one of the windows, reading an anatomy book on the human body. You watch Maki stand next to Bubbles for a moment, reading over her shoulder for a few seconds before encircling her arms around the wide shoulders of her caramel companion. You see her whisper something in her ear, just out of ear shot, then feel amusement as Maki bites Bubbles ear with a naughty smile. You see the giantess shift, trying to ignore Maki. The olive woman continues, moving down to Bubbles neck with soft kisses while her hands roam her caramel collarbone. After a few moments, you see Bubbles sigh and close the book. You hear Maki squeal happily as the giantess stands, picking up the smaller woman as she does. Bubbles walks past you, pausing for a moment to nod in greeting. Maki waves to you with a broad smile as they continue past.<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

As you walk down the hall you hear what sounds like a muffled cry coming from one of the guest rooms. You freeze, listening carefully for any noise.... Sure enough you hear one more cry behind the door. You push the door gently, finding it slightly ajar. You peer inside, the darkness illuminated by the moonlight pouring through the window. You see the bed disheveled, its covers thrown aside. Next to the bed you see the curled form of Bubbles in a simple black bra and panties, her body trembling as her arms twitch. Her head rests in the arms of Maki, her nightgown clinging to her shoulders as she presses her cheek against Bubbles. You can hear the olive woman murmuring softly into her caramel companion's ear, her hazel eyes glancing at you in the doorway. You see her tilt her head to one side as she continues whispering, then repeats the motion when you don't move. You gulp quickly and step out of the doorway, gently closing it behind you.

You shake your head for a moment, unsure of what you just saw. You wait for a few moments. You are rewarded when Maki slips out, closing the door behind her. "Is she okay?" Maki turns to you, a serious expression on her face. "A nightmare. Brought on by your girl." Maki muttered, narrowing her eyes. You can see a recrimination in them you've not seen before, a defensive spark akin to a mother protecting her child. "Excuse me?" "Mitsuko. She's been... well. You've seen them together. Very terse. Mitsuko doesn't trust Bubbles." Maki pinched the bridge of her nose with a sigh. "I mean.... You heard her: she saw Bubbles fight at some point. That'd give anyone pause." "Yes, but... I was going to bring this up in the morning, but fuck it; this needs to stop. Apparently she's said things to Bubbles, in her native language. Something about a dragon... in addition to insults." You groan as Maki's tone takes a hard edge. "I've no idea what she means by a dragon, but I didn't know about the insults. I'm so sorry." "You fucking should be. If she fucking continues I'll--" Maki pauses, raising her hands before you can retort. You feel your cheeks getting hot at her tone....

"I didn't know she was insulting her. I knew there was tension there but I didn't know Mitsuko was being disrespectful." "I'm sorry for cursing at you, darling. I'm... just upset. I don't like seeing my Bubbles in pain." Maki turns back towards the closed door for a moment. "I'll talk to her and put an end to this. Does dragon mean anything to you?" Maki rubs her chin for a moment, then sighs. "Maybe? I keep thinking of Fujimara when dragon comes up." You see her run a hand through her disheveled hair. "Fujimara?" "Yes.... He's a trader in the Far East. I've not dealt with him personally but I'm aware of his reputation." Maki puts a hand on her shapely hip, fingers rubbing together as she thinks. "I'd have to check, but I think he does deal a lot in the fight circuits... maybe dragon is the name of a fight--Oh." You see recognition strike across Maki's face like she'd been slapped, one hand covering her mouth momentarily as her hazel eyes widen. "Howard said something once..." She muttered. "Howard? Bubbles old master?" You ask. "Yes. He... said something. There was a fight she had. It was right after Gregory had died, and I remember Howard saying something about... Fujimara's finest... I think the fighter's name was Dragon. He kept going on about what a big fight it was supposed to be.... The Titan versus The Dragon.... The Far East meets The Bloc... the man was a born spin artist." Maki shrugged, rubbing the back of her neck as she closed her eyes. "So maybe dragon is someone Bubbles fought." "I remember Howie saying it didn't end well... I assume Bubbles won. That's the only thing I can think of as far the word dragon. I'll ask her more in the morning. In the meantime, I'd really appreciate you talking to Mitsuko. I enjoy my visits and I know Eve adores Bubbles, but if this keeps up I'm afraid the situation may come to a head." You're momentarily distracted as you hear a loud groan behind the closed door. Maki's head snaps to the door, one hand grasping the door knob. "‘I'll take care of this. I'm sorry for all this." You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose. "Thank you, darling." Maki disappears behind the door once more.

"This is my house. You're a visitor here, and you need to watch your tone." You state firmly, glaring at her defiantly. For a moment you see outrage flash across her hazel eyes, but she relents as she draws in a deep breath. "Fair enough, darling. I apologize. I'm... just upset. I don't like seeing my Bubbles in pain." Maki sighs, rubbing her forehead. "I'll talk to her in the morning and put an end to this. Does dragon mean anything to you?"

North Hall Upper.

You see the massive form of Bubbles kneeling on a mat, wearing a loose shirt. Eve stands in front of her, hands raised in front of her face reminiscent of a boxer. Bubbles has her hands up in front of her, and you watch as Eve strikes Bubbles large palms with her small fists. "Faster." You hear Eve grunt as she starts swinging faster... then you gasp when Eve misses Bubbles palm, surprising the caramel amazon as a tiny fist strikes her in the cheek. "Oh! I-I'm so sorry!" Eve steps back, both hands covering her mouth as her eyes widen in horror. Bubbles stares at the small girl for a moment. "It didn't hurt. We'll work on strength." She nods sagely, raising her palms once more as Eve visibly relaxes. By LFNPark<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Bubbles' loose shirt hangs limply on her massive frame as she kneels on the mat. Before her is Eve, hands poised before her face reminiscent of a boxer. Bubbles has her hands up and you watch as Eve strikes Bubbles large palms with her small fists. “Faster.” You watch her fists move at a quicker pace, striking faster. “Focus. You’re off center.” You watch Eve sigh in exasperation, but continue her accelerated pace until Bubbles shakes her head. “Speed and accuracy. Striking imprecisely imparts less damage. Precision is important for maximum effect.” “Yes, Miss Bubbles.” Eve nods sagely before raising her fists again. “Begin.” You smile as Eve resumes her swings.

Left: One, One, Two.” Eve’s right fist strikes Bubbles left palm twice before her left follows. “Left: One two. Right: One two.” Eve does the same pattern as when you came in, switching to Bubbles left palm and then her right. “Good. You’re doing well.” Bubbles nods. You see a broad smile break Eve’s face before she hugs the giantess. “Thank you, Miss Bubbles.” Eve steps back after a moment, still smiling. Submitted by LFN Park<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You hear the television on as you step into the room and smile at the sight that greets you. On the black couch you see the caramel amazon Bubbles slouched, her head resting on its back with her arms. Her chest rises and falls gently underneath a massive velvet robe just open enough to see a black bra peek from underneath. In her lap you see the sleeping form of Maki, her head resting on the massive thighs of her companion as soft snores pass the olive womans lips. Her own black robe hangs loosely off her slackened shoulders, giving you ample view of her cleavage barely contained in a similar bra to her makeshift pillow. Sitting on the carpeted floor in front of the couch you see Anna, her head tilted forward and arms wrapped around the sleeping shoulders of Eve, who is snuggled close to her sisters side with her arms wrapped around the Anna's midsection. The television bathes the women in a warm light. //This is so cute...// You think to yourself. By LFNPark<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You see Maki behind the bar in the lounge, exploring the different bottles as her companion Bubbles picks up one of the pool cues. You see Eve with one in hand, striking the balls at random. You're unsure if she knows how to play, but she seems happy whenever one of the balls collide and knock one into the pockets. You smile as you see Maki start mixing drinks together into two glasses; a strange blue concoction that confuses you. You're surprised when she knocks both back with ease, looking thoughtful for a moment before continuing to mix another drink. By LFNPark<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You see Maki leaning on a pool cue, staring intently at her caramel companion. You follow her gaze and see Bubbles is bent over the pool table, a cue resting between her fingers as she begins lining up a shot. Specifically, You can tell Maki is staring at the highly toned posterior of the giant amazon, covered in a pair of blue pants that hug her curves quite appreciably. You watch her strike the ball, sending several scattering but none into the pockets. As Bubbles straightens, you see Maki step forward, one hand reaching forward. Bubbles jumps slightly as Maki passes, her olive hand pinching the shapely rear of the giantess. She gives her a cyclopean glare as Maki smiles naughtily, lining up her own shot.

You see Bubbles on one of the dark red couches, her head tilted forward and the sounds of gentle snoring coming from her. Maki's head is resting on Bubbles lap, her eyes closed and limbs limp with a slight flush to her cheeks. On the ground in front of the couch you see several bottles and two cups, the ice gone and replaced with water. You notice Eve curled under Bubbles other arm, her head resting against the caramel amazons side with a content look on her slumbering face. All three women seem to be deep in the throes of sleep. //That's kind of adorable....// You move as silently as possible, picking the bottles and cups from the floor and placing them on the bar.

You see Anna stretching to reach a tall spot with her duster as Maki's massive companion is walking by. You see her halt as she watches Anna struggle, then approach her. "Here." You see her caramel hands grip Anna's waist and lift. Immediately you wince as Anna lets out a shriek, a shocked expression crossing Bubbles' face as the pale girl in her hands flails momentarily. Immediately Bubbles sets her back down, her hands covering her scarred cheeks in embarrassment as Anna turns to face her, breathing heavily. "I-I'm sorry!" Bubbles "Miss Bubbles! Y-you startled me! I'm sorry!" "I didn't--I just ...I wanted to help..." Bubbles stammers, a dark blush forming in her cheeks. "I-it's okay, really! You just surprised me."

Quickly, Bubbles excuses herself and bids a hasty retreat as Anna resumes her cleaning. By LFNPark<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Your view wanders to the window as the morning light pours in. As you see the backyard in its entirety, you are surprised by an intriguing scene. You see Bubbles in the grass, dropping into a crouch before popping back up. You tilt your head curiously as you try to figure out what she's doing until you see Eve next to her, mimicking her actions albeit at a much slower pace. //They're exercising....// You chuckle to yourself as you watch Eve struggle to keep pace. You watch as Bubbles drops down onto her hands and toes from her squat in one fluid motion, beginning to do push ups in rapid succession. You laugh as Eve attempts the same move, falling face first to the grass much less gracefully before straining to copy the giantess. You marvel when Bubbles pushes up and tucks one arm behind her back, beginning to do a series of one handed push ups. You laugh as Eve collapses back to the grass, gasping for breath. You tilt your head curiously as Bubbles pauses on a downward movement, Eve suddenly laughing loudly as they exchange words just out of your reach. The red haired girl climbs onto the back of the caramel woman, sitting on her massive shoulders with her legs folded together. You are amazed as the woman resumes her one handed push ups with Eve on her back, albeit at a slower pace. //That's very impressive....// You smile broadly as you see Eve's happy face go up and down.

You watch as Maki steps forward with one leg as if lunging forward, before sticking her arms straight out and twisting her hips so her arms fall in line with her legs. Anna does the same, her eyes flitting over to the smaller woman. You see Maki's mouth move though you're too far to hear the words. The olive woman tilts her head and hips back, pointing her arm towards the sky. //Yoga. That explains her flexibility.// You tilt your head as they continue going through very simple poses as Anna follows, surprisingly matching her movements with an ease you didn't expect. You see Maki smile as she begins to go into more complex poses, balancing on one leg as she arches backwards until her palms hit the ground. Anna slows now, carefully stretching back. Her arms shake as her palms hit the ground, then slowly raises a single leg to copy Maki's pose. //Wow. She's doing pretty good....// You can feel your lust stir as you stare at Anna's supple leg pointing upward. You see her body tremble as she holds still until she finally drops onto her back eyes turning to the olive woman still in the same position. You tilt your head as Maki brings her legs up achingly slow until she is in a handstand, her toes pointed upward. Her face changes to a neutral, focused expression from her normal grin as her body shifts once more. Her hips tilt to the right, her legs separating into a wide V, then you inhale sharply as she raises one hand off the ground. Her body trembles slightly as Maki adjusts until she finally balances on her single hand, Anna watching in disbelief. //Wow, that's hot.// You feel a little aroused watching the older woman's display of flexibility and strength.

You already see Bubbles and Eve standing in the gym. More precisely, Bubbles is standing as Eve sits on her shoulders, giggling incessantly. You don’t see Maki or Mitsuko yet, but you notice the mats have already been arranged as you move next to the caramel giantess. “So….you’re okay with Maki fighting Mitsuko?” You ask hesitantly, looking up as Eve waves down at you. “No. It’s irrelevant, however.” Bubbles sighed, looking at you with her single blue eye. “Why’s that?” “Maki….she is stubborn. Once a plan forms, she follows it. Smart or not.” Bubbles mutters, looking to the mats. “She’ll be fine!” Eve chirps, resting her hands on the top of Bubbles’ head. “It’s not about that. It’s….” Bubbles sighs, rubbing the bridge of her nose for a moment. “Very rarely….I feel we are….we are one sided….” “I don’t quite get what you mean.” You look at her quizzically. “Maki….does what she wants. Despite what I say. I listen to her, and act accordingly.” Bubbles explained, resting her hands on Eve’s knees as the redhead looks around at her new height with a broad smile. “She does strike me as very used to getting her way.” You nod. Bubbles shrugs, causing Eve to giggle as she goes slightly higher. “You’re right.” Her gaze turns, drawing you to look and see the smaller olive woman walking into the gym. You’re surprised to see a tight turquoise top that matches the color of Maki’s hair, followed by similarly colored workout pants that hug her curves. This is a stark contrast to the loose fitting items you’ve seen Bubbles wear during her regiment, though you also see Maki’s hands are taped up to her mid wrist. She practically sashays over to you and Bubbles, waving to the excited Eve. “Darlings!” She gives you a small hug before wrapping her arms around Bubbles, who leans down carefully to give her a kiss as Eve readjusts upon her shoulders. “For good luck.” Bubbles murmurs, staring down at Maki. “Never hurts, love.” Maki chuckles. She turns as you see Mitsuko, dressed in her black and green garb. “Mitsuko the ninja!” Eve smiles, pointing to her. You smirk idly as she approaches, Bowing politely to you before looking defiantly at Maki. “Ready to go, darling?” The olive woman smiles, hands on her hips. Mitsuko nods, strolling over to the mats. Maki rubs her hands together gleefully, following the taller woman with a spring in her step. The two women stand apart and bow slowly to one another before you see Mitsuko crouch, arms outstretched. Maki stood with her feet apart, moving side to side in quick hops as her hands raised. “Who do you think will win?” You look up at Eve briefly as she rests her forearms on Bubbles’ head, watching the two women intently. “I don’t know. Mitsuko is fast, but Maki’s pretty clever…..” You frown as you see a mischievous smile cross Eve’s face. You see the women clash, Mitsuko catching a swing from Maki and twisting it. You blink when you see Maki flip, moving with Mitsuko’s twist and landing on her feet. The olive woman crouches, arm still held by Mitsuko, and hooks Mitsuko’s leg. She pivots and stands abruptly, flipping Mitsuko over her. You hear Eve gasp when Mitsuko also lands on her feet, crouching back down as she turns to face the olive woman again. Maki is all smiles, a cocky grin on her face. “Well played, darling.” You watch them clash again, arms swinging and blocking as each tries to gain an advantage. Their movements ceases as each holds the others arms, pushing against each other. You see Mitsuko’s leg start to snake forward the same time Maki’s head does. Maki’s lips hit Mitsuko’s before her leg can, her violet eyes shooting open as the olive woman kisses her. In the same motion, Maki snakes her leg out and kicks out Mitsuko’s extended leg, pushing her to the floor with a naughty grin. You see a bewildered look cross Mitsuko’s face, quickly replaced with an angry glare as she scrambles back to her feet. “That’s cheating!” She sputters, a crimson tinge in her cheeks. “One to none, darling!” Maki smirks, her hands on her hips. You turn when you hear Bubbles chuckle along with Eve’s giggling. “A common tactic for Maki.” Bubbles explains. “Your cheeks are so red, Mitsuko!” Eve laughs, pointing at the women. You can’t help but smile as you see Mitsuko and Maki face off again. Again you see them gracefully flow and move, turning one hold into another. “Maki and Mitsuko look so graceful; it’s like they’re dancing!” Eve smiles. “...I can be graceful.” Bubbles huffs, her single eye looking up at Eve momentarily. “I know! But...I’ve never seen you dance.” Eve pats Bubbles’ head gently, smiling down at the giantess. “I can dance….” Bubbles rumbles, folding her arms together. A crash snaps your attention back to the fight. You see Maki flat on her back, a smug Mitsuko crouched like a cat. “One to one.” She states. You hear Maki laugh and arch her back, using her hips and momentum to nip back to her feet. “You are invigorating, darling!” Maki cooes. You see the smug smile fade awkwardly on Mitsuko’s face as they immediately clash once more. You watch them duck and weave around each other, an acrobatic display as they try to flip, twist, and counter each other. “This is so different than your fight, Bubbles!” Eve states, her eyes moving with the two women as they move. “I am quick. Maki is smaller, nimbler….as is Mitsuko.” Bubbles glances up for a moment. “Isn’t everyone smaller than you?” Eve tilts her head down. “...Not untrue.” You turn back as Maki and Mitsuko are locked in another exchange. You watch as Maki attempts to duck under Mitsuko’s arm, only to have the taller woman catch her and sweep Maki’s legs. You wince as she falls face first to the mat, a triumphant smile on Mitsuko’s face. “Two to one. /darling/…” The raven haired woman states, stepping back as Maki pushes herself back up. Strangely, you don’t see a look of concern on Maki’s face; instead there is a wide playful grin. “Sassy! I like it!” Maki giggles, clapping her hands together. At this point you can see sweat starting to form on both competitors as they circle each other. You see Eve leaning expectantly forward, her arms resting on Bubbles head as she watches with rapt attention. “This isn’t upsetting you?” You ask, thinking about when Mitsuko and Bubbles fought. “No. Why would it?” Eve shakes her head, eyes still stuck on the two women as they flip and swing at each other. “I mean, when Bubbles fought Mitsuko you got pretty upset.” “Well, Miss Bubbles was angry at Mitsuko because she was being mean to her. This is different; it’s like they’re playing and not really trying to hurt the other.” Eve shrugs. You watch Maki duck and weave between Mitsuko’s swings and kicks, a sneaky smile on her face. You see her dodge another of the raven haired womans kicks, but instead of Maki countering, you see her duck under and step forward. One olive hand smooshes into Mitsuko’s large breast and squeezes, eliciting a gasp from the taller woman along with what you think is a pleasurable moan. The crimson tinge just barely appears in Mitsuko’s cheeks before Maki has kicked her legs out from under her and sent her crashing to the mat with a smug smile. “Two to two!” Maki laughs once more. Again you see an angry glare on Mitsuko’s face as she scrambles to her feet, covering her chest. “You’re a cheater!” She snaps. “Sensitive breasts, darling? Nothing to be ashamed about! Makes foreplay so much more fun!” You watch Maki arch her back, making her chest jut forward proudly as Mitsuko blushes furiously. “Let’s finish this.” Mitsuko growls.

You see a mischievous smile on Eve’s face as the two woman resume their match. She turns to meet your gaze. “I’m about to yell really loud. Just watch this…” She whispers, turning back to the fight. Before you can say anything you flinch as Eve screams above you. Your gaze snaps to the match where you see Mitsuko’s head whip around towards the red head, eyes wide and searching. Maki wastes no time; she hooks one of the tall girls long legs and pulls as one forearm shoves against her chest. You see Mitsuko flail in confusion as she hits the mat, eyes still searching for any sign of distress of Eve. “And that’s three, darling!” Maki smiles, straightening to give the fallen woman a small bow before practically skipping over to Bubbles and Eve. The small girl giggles and reaches her hand out palm first. You tilt your head in confusion as Maki jumps up and high fives it before hugging her caramel companion. /Oh….OH!/ It hits you the same time it hits Mitsuko, her eyes widening. “You cheated!!” She cries out, stomping towards Maki. “Did I?” The coyness in Maki’s voice brings a smirk to your face. “You...you kissed me! And you….you groped me!!!” Mitsuko sputters, then points up at Eve. “And you! Why?! Why did you scream?! Just to distract me?! What did she promise you? Your sister will be upset!” “A tea party, and I already told Anna I was going to scream so I wouldn’t worry her.” Eve smiles smugly, grinning down at the asian woman. “Master! She cheated! This...this can’t possibly count!” Mitsuko turns, glaring at you. “You call it cheating; I call it sound tactics. It’s not my fault you didn’t do any research into how I fight.” Maki’s tone is haughty and smug as she leans against Bubbles, one arm curled around her waist. “How was I--” “You could have asked Bubbles. She is /very/ well versed in my tactics.” Maki looks at her fingers absently. “She’s your sl...your lover! She wouldn’t--” You flinch when Bubbles’ eye glances down at Mitsuko with an angry glint. “You didn’t ask.” She rumbles, folding her arms over her chest. “This entire thing is dumb.” You catch her disapproving eye swivel to Maki for a moment. “Master!” Mitsuko turns to you. “You agreed to this, Mitsuko. You didn’t say how the fight was supposed to be carried out.” You shrug. You see her tilt her head in disbelief as Maki giggles triumphantly. “Well, darling. Shall we begin?” Maki’s smile stretches farther across her face than you think is physically possible. Mitsuko fumes for a moment, her fists clenched tightly as she turns to Maki. You see her mouth open and close in anger before she reluctantly folds her hands in front of her and bows stiffly to Maki. “How can I be of service?” You can hear the seething anger underlying her tone. “Well. We have a tea party to attend, so I think we should both go change. I’ll meet you in the Servants quarters shortly!” “Yes!” Eve pumps her arms into the air as Bubbles shakes her head. You watch the small redhead scurry down from her perch and grab the giantess’ caramel hand. You see her pull Bubbles away as Maki struts behind. Mitsuko turns her head to you, giving you a dirty look before following the smaller olive woman with stiff, angry stomps. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park<<set $mitsukoBubbles to 5>>

You see Maki and Mitsuko surge forward again, both duck and countering each others blows. You see their skin glistening as they try to outdo each other, even Mitsuko breathing more heavily as she avoids and counters Maki’s blows. You turn when you sense movement next to you. You see Bubbles setting Eve on the ground, leaving one hand on her tiny shoulder. “Do nothing.” The giantess rumbles. “But--” Eve pouts for a moment until Bubbles shakes her head. You hear her grumble under her breath and are thoroughly confused, but you turn back to the fight just in time to see Mitsuko flip Maki onto her back, a triumphant grin spreading across her face. “I win!” You see Maki glance over towards you, Eve giving a little shrug and pointing to Bubbles. "I'm loath to say it, but you're not a bad fighter. Rough around the edges, but not bad." Mitsuko pauses, her breathing returning to normal. With a sigh she continues. "It would seem that I have won, so now you must do as I say, yes?" Grinning from ear to ear as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Now what to do, what to do..." You tilt your head as Maki picks herself up into a kneeling position, looking up at Mitsuko with a coyish grin.’ “Yes, mistress.” You see her push her arms together, making her breasts press together and rise as she looks up at the raven haired woman. You are amused when you see confusion and surprise cross Mitsuko’s face, taking a step back from the olive woman. “Lord….” You hear Bubbles sigh, rubbing her face in exasperation. “Mistress, I promised Eve I’d spend some time with her. If it pleases you, may I?” You can hear a faux sweetness in her tone that catches Mitsuko off guard. “You can come too, Mitsuko!” Eve waves, a hopeful smile on her face. The asian woman glances over at Eve, then down at Maki. //It’s like she’s a fish out of water….// You can’t help but grin as she hesitates. “I...Yes. That sounds fine. Go change, then meet Eve and I in the Servants quarter.” Mitsuko states, hesitancy in her tone. “As you wish, mistress.” You watch Maki bow her head, then sashay out of the gym with a wide smile. Mitsuko follows soon after, a concerned frown on her face as Eve giggles and runs after her. “That was…..interesting.” You look up at Bubbles, who simply shakes her head. “Maki still wins.” She grumbles, rubbing the bridge of her nose. “I…..don’t think I follow you….” “This is what she wanted. Win or lose….she wins.” Bubbles sighs, looking down at you. “She wins...she makes Mitsuko do things. She loses? She….acts like that. Makes Mitsuko uncomfortable….still manipulating her…..so she wins.” You tap your chin for a moment as Bubbles words ring true in your head, recalling Maki’s smile at the flustered Mitsuko. “....She’s pretty smart.” You admit. “Too smart for her own good.” She sighs, walking from the gym.

You click on the light to expunge the darkness and are shocked at the sight before you. You see Maki's servant, the caramel giantess known as Bubbles, standing in the middle aisle. In her hand is a package of cookies, opened and half eaten. On her back is Eve, one arm wrapped around Bubbles neck as the other is frozen in mid motion with a cookie. Both girls are looking at you, three eyes frozen wide like deer caught in headlights, though Eve's face is covered in cookie crumbs. "You saw nothing...." Eve spews crumbs down Bubbles shoulder as she waves her hand at you in a slow gesture. [[Leave them be.| Maki and Bubbles Pantry Ambient 1a]] [[Conspire.

You smirk mischievously at the two before striding forward. You stand next to the dumbfounded giantess, who's cyclopean gaze simply follows your every movement as Eve continues moving her hand back and forth. Tentatively, you reach up and pluck a cookie from the container in her caramel hands. You wink up at the two as you start eating it, then turn back to the pantry door and flip the light off on the two girls. You close the door and leave the two cookie bandits be.

As you step in, you are surprised to see two people occupying the sauna. You see the olive form of Maki stretched out on one of the benches, arms behind her head and eyes closed as she enjoys the heat. Her skin is slick from perspiration and her nipples are jutting proudly towards the ceiling. Sitting more reserved with her massive arms resting on the top of a bench is her companion, Bubbles. You feel taken aback for a moment seeing her muscular form nude, her chiseled and glistening abdomen on full display along with pert caramel breasts. You take note of a variety of scars hidden before, vertical and curved marks scattered across her skin. What most surprises you is her eyes, one closed and the other missing the dark brown eye patch usually worn clutched in her hand. You can see a scar on the rim of her socket near her nose stretch to her usually covered eyebrow, the gaping maw where her other blue orb should be shocking you. You watch as Maki stretches one arm lazily up, grasping the larger woman's hand. Bubbles doesn't even open her eye, fingers instinctively curling around Maki's. You smile, finding the scene somewhat adorable as they relax in the sauna with hands entwined. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.saunaMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>> By LFNPark

You see the caramel giantess known as Bubbles sitting on the floor next to one of the windows. You note that she’s reading a book on human anatomy, oblivious to your presence as her singular gaze is focused on its words.

<<if $bubbles.affection gte 800 and $bubbles.trust gte 500>>“What are you reading about?” Bubbles looks up at you, the book momentarily forgotten. “The human body. Muscles and ligaments. How exercise affects them.” Her tone is pleasant as she tilts her head at you. “I’ve read a lot on that.” “So you can keep in shape?” “That, and others. I train Maki’s charges. Before….when I fought….” You see her pause for a moment, her blue eye moving to the floor. “I didn’t know….the science? Why things...work.” “I feel like you get a better appreciation of something if you understand what’s behind it. Like cooking or carpentry.” Bubbles nods in agreement, looking at her book. “Before….reading was a luxury.” You watch one large finger run across the spine of the book. “If...I performed? I could read….or when Gregory snuck books to me…” “By perform, you mean won a fight?” You pull one of the chairs near the table to you, taking a seat. “Yes. Now...with Maki, I read more. Learn more.” You swear you can see a faint tinge in the giantess’ cheeks when she mentions her lover. “You don’t fight anymore?” Bubbles shakes her head vehemently. “I spar…..very rarely fight. I...did a lot of that. Now….” She shrugs, running a hand through her fiery hair. “Now you have Maki.” Bubbles nods, that color returning to her cheeks. “She….doesn’t like me fighting like before. I don’t want to, so…..I don’t. I like what we do instead….” You swear you hear a subtle naughtiness in her tone as her cheeks grow a deeper red. “I’m sure she prefers that over fighting….” You chuckle. “...The first time we fought...well, sparred…” Bubbles hesitates for a moment, her eye closing in memoriam. “She kissed me. It was my first.” “That’s just adorable.” You smile, tilting your head down at Bubbles. //What a strange woman….// “....What? You have a look…” Bubbles narrows her eye at you questioningly. “Nothing! Well….You...I was just thinking that you’re probably one of the strangest girls I’ve met since coming to this mansion.” You hold your hands up when an angry glare crosses her gaze. “Not in a bad way! It’s just….when you walked through those doors the first time? I thought you were Maki’s bodyguard….like this badass amazonian who could break a person in half. Come to find out, you are a badass...but you’re...far deeper than that.” Bubbles looks away for a moment, drawing her legs up and wrapping her arms around them. “Most are scared. I’m...glad you’re not.” “I appreciate that, but to be frank you scared the hell out of me at first. When you start saying more than a few words….you’re far less intimidating.” Bubbles chuckles, looking back at you with that same stoic expression. “Thank you. I….like not being terrifying.” “I like that you aren’t,” You stand up with a smile. “I’ll let you get back to your book.” You put the chair back as Bubbles resumes reading, and stroll out of the library. <<elseif $bubbles.affection gte 400>>“What are you reading about?” Bubbles looks up at you, turning a page idly. “The human body.” She says, her voice neutral. “I train people.” “Like a fitness instructor?” You watch her tilt her head for a moment, thinking carefully. “Yes. I train Maki’s charges.” Bubbles nods, setting the book on her knee carefully. “I...never learned the science before.” “I guess you never had the chance.” You nod, thinking about what Maki has said regarding her companion. “Yes. Now, I know. I’ve learned. Makes me better at it.” She nods, her face as stoic as ever. “That’s good. I’ll let you get back to it.” You smile at her pleasantly. Bubbles nods her head to you before picking up the book once more. You leave her to her studying. <<else>>“What are you reading about?” Bubbles looks up at you for a moment before returning to her book. “The human body.” Her voice is low and stern, clearly irritated by your intrusion. You gulp for a moment, an awkward silence stretching between you. “Well...enjoy the book.” You say sheepishly. She makes a small noise confirming she heard you, and you leave the room. <</if>>[[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park<<set $bubbles.affection += 1>><<set $bubbles.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You hear the piano echoing through the ballroom, a slow song that you can’t quite place. Sticking your head in, you see the massive form of the caramel giantess known as Bubbles sitting in front of it. Her single eye is closed as her fingers move carefully across the ivory keys, seemingly unaware of your presence. As soft steps bring you closer, you see her tilt her head and can make out soft hums accompanying her slow playing. “Anyway the thing is...what I really mean….” You stop when her lips part and soft words resound over the piano. “Yours are the sweetest eyes…..I’ve ever seen…” //Wow.// Though soft, you can feel the powerful tone reverberated in her lyrics. It’s brief as she resumes humming. Bubbles continues for another few moments before her eye opens, her head turning to look at you as a harsh misstep produces an unpleasant tone. “Hi.” You wave sheepishly. “Hello.” She rumbles, resting her hands on her knees. [[Compliment her playing.|Submitted Bubbles Interactive 2a]] [[Compliment her voice.|Submitted Bubbles Interactive 2b]] [[Leave her be.|Submitted Bubbles Interactive 2c]] Submitted by LFN Park<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

“You’re pretty good at the piano.” You lean forward, resting your arms on the smooth top of the piano. “Thank you.” She nods, sliding the cover back over the keys. “Did Maki teach you?” “No.” Bubbles shakes her head. “Maki is very skilled, yet music….eludes her.” //Good to know.// You smile inwardly. “Margaret...taught me some. How to read music….the basic keys….” Bubbles hangs her head for a moment, a forlorn look in her singular gaze. “Margaret? Is this another Wanton Cove native?” Bubbles shakes her head sadly. “She was a doctor. She attended everyone. Attended me when I arrived.” You tilt your head curiously. //Past tenses?// “She sounds nice.” “Margaret was….honest.” You watch the giantess rub her arm absently. “Sometimes brutally. Yet…” There’s a brief silence as Bubbles turns away, lost in her thoughts. “May I ask what happened to her?” You make sure your tone is respectful and soft. For a moment you’re not sure she’s going to answer as she remains facing away from you. “Cancer.” Her answer is stiff, a hard strain behind it. “I’m sorry.” “It’s fine.” She turns back to you, stone-faced as she sniffles slightly. “She was happy in the end.” “I guess that’s all we can ask for.” You sigh. Bubbles nods in somber agreement, standing slowly. “Death is familiar. Mostly violent. I want...I hope for something like hers.” Bubbles murmurs sadly. “Peaceful and happy?” Bubbles tilts her head down, looking at you with her stoic blue gaze. “Peaceful and loved. Thank you for your time.” You smile up at her, surprised at her warm tone. “Never a problem.” You nod as she walks out of the ballroom.

“You have a wonderful voice.” You lean forward, resting your arms on the smooth top of the piano. “Thank you.” Bubbles nods, sliding the cover over the ivory keys with a light clack. “Have you ever taken any lessons?” “I….” You’re surprised at the giantess’ hesitation, a faint blush coming in her cheeks. “I was in a choir.” “That’s interesting.” You say curiously, an image of the one-eyed woman in long robes briefly flitting through your head. “I was a child. My father was a preacher.” You see her look away for a moment, sadness in her single eye. “He was loud. Bombastic. Full of fire and brimstone.” "Sounds like a preacher to me.” You chuckle lightly. “I don’t remember a lot. He died when I was young.” Bubbles rub her shoulder idly, her voice thickening. “I forgot his face.” “That’s awful.” You wince in sympathy. //I can’t imagine what it’d be like if I forgot my parents faces….// The chilling thought brings a shudder down your spine. “Maki gave it back. Found photographs of him. Me as a child. My original name.” Her baritone lightens, a warmth breaking through the sadness. “That must’ve posed some difficulty. How’d she do that?” You tilt your head curiously. “She talked to Howard. My former Master.” A stony expression crosses Bubbles face, her eye narrowing as her tone darkened. “He’s gone now.” You hesitate for a moment, unsure of asking the question of what happened. You’re grateful when Bubbles gives you a small shake of her head. “I didn’t kill him. I could have.” She looks almost thoughtful for a moment before turning her gaze pointedly to the covered piano keys. “I wanted to. What he put me through, and then Gregory... I //wanted// to kill him.” “You didn’t though. I have to ask; why? Maki and yourself were willing to kill me if I’d turned out like my Uncle, but not this guy?” “I killed for him. I hurt people. I found….I don’t like it. I don’t like that part of me. Sometimes what you want...is bad for you. Killing him? I wanted to. I’d become worse.” Bubbles voice is slightly strained as she searches for her words. “Giving in makes it easier to again. Especially when you want to.” You can hear the effort in her tone increase as her sentence carries on. “I think I understand that part, but what about me?” You ask curiously. Her brow creases for a moment. “It’s different. Killing you? It would save your girls from cruelty. You aren’t though.” Bubbles hastily adds the last part, some sheepishness seeping in. “Killing Howard only serves my darkness.” “I guess. It’s still a bit murky trying to justify one over the other.” You see her head slump forward a little. “You’re right.” The giantess steps away from the piano bench, staring to walk away from you. “For what it’s worth….” She stops, turning slightly to look back at you with her cyclopic gaze. “I think you made the right choice.” “Thank you, <<print $PlayerCalled>>.” She nods to you before continuing her steps away from you.

You see Eve standing in front of the Laboratory door, staring at it with a cautious look. You see her hands folded in front of her much like her sister. “Is something wrong, Eve?” She turns to you, jumping slightly at your voice. “N-no! You startled me….” She glances back at the lab door, biting her lip for a moment. “I was...just thinking.” “Oh really?” You can’t help but wonder what thoughts the laboratory would cause in little Eve. “I...I was thinking about Miss Bubbles.” “Why is that?” You cock an eyebrow in surprise. “You know the scars around her mouth?” You nod, the vivid image of the giantess’ gruesome mockery of a smile flitting through your mind. “She can’t smile because of them….that’s why she looks serious all the time.” //I didn’t know that. Probably nerve damage...// “That’s awful.” You frown. “Yeah. So….I was thinking….” She looks up at you with a hopeful, yet hesitant expression. “Maybe there’s something in the lab that could help her?” [[Consider it.|Submitted Lab Bubbles 1a]] [[Dissuade her.|Submitted Lab Bubbles 1b]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You look at the smaller girl before you with a smile, impressed and proud of the compassion she shows. You crouch down, meeting her gaze with a sigh as you place your hands on her shoulders. “Eve, you amaze me with your kindness considering everything you and Anna have been through.” “Thank you, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.” You see some color touch Eve’s cheeks as she smiles at you. It almost crushes your heart. “Eve...I’m not like my Uncle in many ways. I don’t have the same skill he did with medical formula and chemicals.” You see her smile falter, a pout beginning to form. “So….you won’t?” “It’s not a matter of won’t.” You sigh, taking a breath to consider your words. “It’s a matter of safety. Yes, there’s lots of science equipment left from my Uncle, including all his medical notes and what not, but I don't have the level of skill with it that he did. What if I try something and it hurts Bubbles even worse?” Eve nods slowly. It breaks your heart to see the sadness in her eyes, but you continue trying to explain. “I don’t know if I could live with myself if I accidentally hurt such a kind woman, and with all those chemicals and equipment there is a scarily real chance that I could with my lack of experience. I don’t want that, and I know you don’t want that.” //Not least of all Maki would probably tear me inside out….// Eve sighs, turning back toward the laboratory with a wistful expression. “I understand.” You sigh at the depression in her tone, her eyes cast to the floor. “I love that you want to help her, Eve. She’s been through a lot, and your compassion is amazing. I just don’t think I can safely help her right now.” You hug her, and are relieved when she returns your embrace. “Thank you for considering, <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.” She gives you a kiss to your cheek before trudging back upstairs.

As you walk towards the kitchen you see the giantess known as Bubbles standing off to one side of the entryway. She puts a finger to her lips as she looks at you, then points to the opposite side. Quizzically you oblige her and stand there, peeking into the kitchen. You see Mitsuko standing dutifully, her hands folded in front of her as Maki stands before her. The olive woman’s usual smile is gone; instead you see a flustered and consternated expression. “Look...This is going to be hard for me to talk about. I...it’s very personal, but….I’ve only ever told this to Bubbles.” You see Maki bury her face in her hands for a moment, composing herself. “It...it has to do with today.” “Yes, ma’am.” Mitsuko nods politely. You watch Maki inhale deeply, fingers steepled in front of her, before opening her eyes to look at the taller Asian woman. “I...My family has been in this trade for a very long time. When I was...12? Maybe 13, my father gave me a slave. Training, he called it. She was only a little older than me, maybe a year or two. Her name was Tanya.” You glance over at Bubbles, who is simply leaning her head against the wall as she listens. “She….we were very close. I loved her; she was one of my closest friends….and when my insane libido started, she was my first lover.” You can hear a slight strain in Maki’s voice before she pauses, turning away for a moment. “My father...he didn’t approve. He took her and sold her….I was so mad...he wouldn’t tell me who he sold her to, so I ran. I ran to The Bloc to find Tanya.” You feel an unease, eavesdropping on the olive skinned woman as she talks so emotionally. You look towards her caramel companion, who just stares at you with her normal stoic expression. “It took years, but I found her. It..she was…” You watch Maki stop, covering her eyes for a moment as her lip quivered. You see Mitsuko tilt her head curiously, eyes staring intently at the woman before her. “She’d ended up with a monster. I found her in a ditch, broken and...just broken. Mentally, physically….everything. After...when the Doctors were done….I didn’t know so much metal could be in someone….” Maki shivers for a moment, taking a breath to center herself. “She died. A year later she died. That’s...I became very protective...vengeful even, of people I care about. So...when you started saying things….awful things to Bubbles, I was upset.” Her hazel eyes become hard as her face turns into a glare at the taller asian woman. “Then...you and her talked that night. She came back to our room….I woke up and she was crying. My sweetest girl...just...You did that. You hurt her.” Maki’s voice is quiet and even, arms folding together. You turn briefly to Bubbles, her eye closed and face still neutral as she listens. Mitsuko is quiet for a moment, breaking eye contact with Maki. She closes her eyes, fists opening and closing as she composes herself. “I’m sorry you had to go through that with Tanya. I understand your pain all too well, but you can’t expect me to sit by when the person who, quite literally, broke someone I respected very much comes into a home full of people I also care about.” Mitsuko’s voice is quiet, but firm as she stares back at Maki. “That woman is one of the kindest souls I know-” “Who can and /has/ killed people. I saw her break a man. I know of her reputation from when she fought….Can you blame me for being so hesitant having her around Anna and Eve? Especially when I know you were quite willing to have her kill <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>?” Mitsuko narrows her eyes as anger seeps into her tone. You see Bubbles looking at the floor, one hand rubbing her wrist idly with shame on her cheeks. You recall the first time Maki and Bubbles came to visit...her questioning of Anna... “And had he been hurting either girl, I doubt you’d have much issue with that. Come to think of it, who are you to be throwing her history around?” Maki steps closer to Mitsuko, glaring defiantly up at the raven haired woman. “I’ve seen you fight, Mitsuko. I’ve fought you….I see the same haunted look lurking in your eyes that’s in Bubbles...That I see in the mirror sometimes. Why don’t you tell me how clean your hands really are?” You see the smallest flinch in Mitsuko’s face, a subtle change as she presses her lips together. The silence stretched between them for a few moments, thick and heavy…. “That’s what I thought.” Maki scoffed. “Why are you telling me all this?” Mitsuko asked, tilting her head curiously. “Because….I overreacted. I...wanted to do something to...I don’t know, get back at you for hurting her. Bubbles called me out on it and she’s right; you two had settled it. In doing all this I...hurt her.” You see Maki’s eyes cast downward to the floor. “She...she said I needed to apologize and explain myself so…..I’m sorry.” You can see the gears in Mitsuko’s mind turning as she stares at the smaller woman. Bubbles seems to be transfixed, also watching intently with her singular gaze. “....You really do love her.” Mitsuko’s voice has a strange tone to it, almost disbelief if you had to guess. “Yes. She loves me too, even when I’m acting stupid….” “A patient woman, then.” You see Maki crack a small smile. “I deserve that.” The smaller woman runs a hand through her multicolored hair as Mitsuko nods. “What happens now?” “There’s an hour or two left...I was thinking we go to the lounge and relax?” Maki suggests, folding her arms together. “Is that an order?” Mitsuko asks carefully. “A request.” The taller woman seems to consider for a moment before nodding. “That would be fine.” Maki smiles and turns towards the doorway. You’re unsure whether you should dash away or stay where you are…. [[Leave quickly.|Submitted Maki Bubbles Kitchen Interactive Scene 1a]] [[Stay.|Submitted Maki Bubbles Kitchen Interactive Scene 1b]] Submitted by LFN Park<<set $mitsukoBubbles to 7>>

You give a nod to Bubbles before quickly retreating back down the hall, wishing to avoid any anger from the small olive woman for eavesdropping. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park

You hesitate a moment too long in your deliberations. Maki crosses the threshold of the doorway and her head swivels to yours, eyes narrowing angrily. “Were you--” “I told him to.” Bubbles interrupts the olive woman as Mitsuko also stops besides you, looking confusedly between the massive giantess and yourself. Maki tears her gaze upwards to Bubbles, anger being replaced with confusion. “Why?” “You disrespected him as much as you did Mitsuko. He deserved an explanation.” Bubbles baritone has a stern edge. For a moment you fear another argument will break out between Maki and her caramel companion, the silence between them stretching uncomfortably. You sigh with relief when Maki instead throws her arms around Bubbles midsection, the giantess reciprocating with her large arms around Maki’s shoulders. “I’m proud of you.” Bubbles murmured, running a hand through Maki’s hair. You smile and look towards Mitsuko, who is watching the two women with a small grin. “We’re going to the lounge if you’d like to join us.” Maki looks up at Bubbles for a moment, then turns her face to you. “I may do just that in a little bit.” You wave to the girls before continuing to walk past them. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park

You see Maki lounging on one of the couches, a drink in hand and her legs hanging over an armrest. “Darling! Just who I want to talk to!” “Really now?” You take a seat opposite of her with a curious smile. “Yes! I wanted to ask you something.” Maki sits up, taking a sip from her drink. “I want to challenge your lovely maid, Mitsuko, to a contest!” You see a mischievous smile spread across her face as you take a moment to consider her words. “That’s….interesting….What kind of contest?” “Well, seeing her spar with my lovely Bubbles has me wanting to test myself against her speed and agility.” She states simply, tapping her chin with one finger. “Not in a sort of brawler way, of course. I’m thinking a best of 3 knockdowns situation so as to limit bruising and what not.” “You said contest. Usually a contest has a prize….” You say warily, your mind contemplating Maki’s intentions. “Well, of course. This is where it would get...spicy!” She leans forward conspiratorially, arms resting on her knees. “I was thinking if I can best her, I might….get her services for my visit this weekend. Have her attend to my every whim!” Maki chuckles. “I’m...not sure I’m comfortable with that.” “Well, let me assure you I’d never abuse her. You know how much I abhor such things,” You watch her take a sip of her drink. “I’d also never force myself on her sexually, so I promise you that. No, this is more...impishly delightful whims than physical. I’m plotting a tea party or two with Eve...perhaps braiding her hair into pigtails….nothing nefarious, I swear.” You can’t help but smirk at the mental image of Maki and Mitsuko in a tea party with Eve, especially the idea of Mitsuko and Eve with matching pig tails. “And if she wins….does she get you to serve her for the weekend?” “Of course! Following the same parameters I just established, thought I can’t imagine her coming up with as many delightful activities…Lord knows if she did win, her stubborn streak would grow.” Maki smirks. “True….” You sigh, running a hand through your hair. //Then again, a weekend of humbling activities might curb that as well…..Then again, this could be some sort of revenge plot for how Mitsuko has treated Bubbles previously...// [[Not Okay|Submitted Maki Bubbles Lounge 1a]] [[Acceptable.|Submitted Maki Bubbles Lounge 1b]] Submitted by LFN Park

“You know, after watching her fight Bubbles? I’m not sure I’m comfortable having any more fights in the mansion...I don’t really want you to challenge Mitsuko.” You see Maki pout for a moment, finishing her drink. “As you wish, darling. Would’ve been a fantastic spar, for certain. Ah well! I can always find fun things to do with Bubbles.” You see a naughty smile cross Maki’s face as she stands and strolls out of the lounge. [[End.|$location]]<<set $maki.affection -= 3>> Submitted by LFN Park

“Well….I think I can allow this with certain caveats.” You lean forward, leaning on your knees as Maki’s eyebrow raises curiously. “One; I don’t want either of you seriously injured. If I feel like this spar is going too far? I reserve the right to call it all off. Two; If you win and I see you doing anything I consider degrading or awful to Mitsuko I’ve the right to call it off, and quite possibly boot you and Bubbles from the mansion if I think it’s gone too far.” You count off on your fingers as Maki watches you. “Completely understandable, darling.” Maki nods in agreement. “Third; Mitsuko has to agree to all of this; I’m not going to order her to participate in this contest if she doesn’t want to.” “I’d expect no less from you at this point.” Maki smiles brightly, finishing her drink. “I suspect her pride might not let her back down from a challenge, but we shall see!” You watch her stand, hands on her hips. “Well, I agree to your terms darling! Let’s see if Mitsuko does!” You summon Mitsuko and explain the proposal. Maki watches with a broad smile as Mitsuko raises an eyebrow questioningly at the smaller olive woman. “You want to challenge me.” The raven haired woman’s tone is flat, nearly incredulous. “Of course! I think it will be fun!” Maki giggles. “...I get to order you around. You’ll do anything I say?” She asks, hesitating slightly. “Within reason.” You affirm, giving Mitsuko a hard look. “Of course, Mistress Mitsuko. Has a nice ring to it, yes?” Maki grins, folding her arms together. “Remember; I have ultimate discretion here no matter who wins. If I think either of you are going too far? I’m calling it off.” You raise your hands, standing between the two women. “I’ve no problem with that, though I feel I can suffer so much more than dear Mitsuko here.” Maki giggles, giving the taller woman a confident glare. You see just as hard a stare from your servant. “I accept. One hour?” Mitsuko folds her arms over her ample chest. “Sounds acceptable! First to three falls? The gym?” “Yes.” “Excellent! See you soon, darling!” Maki laughs, waving to Mitsuko as she walks away. You sigh, turning to Mitsuko. “You sure about this?” You ask. “Of course. This will be easy.” She nods, turning and walking out. [[End.|$location]]<<set $maki.affection += 3>> Submitted by LFN Park

Opening the mailbox, you see a letter. You don’t recognize the return address or the name, M. Morichi. You open it and examine the letter within. //Dear <<print $player.firstName>>, You don’t know me, but I have done business with your dearly departed Uncle in the past. As the new owner of the estate I wish to discuss continuing, or even expanding, previous dealings. In addition, I may be able to enlighten you on some of your Uncle’s colorful history. I am ignorant of how close you two were, but I can certainly understand if it wasn’t much considering his, shall we say, temperament. If this is something that interests you, I’ve written a number on the back of this letter you may contact to arrange a meeting. Simple ask for Mister Morichi (Moor-Ee-Chi) and we can discuss a time amenable to both of us. If you aren’t in a position to do business, or are simply uninterested in such at this time, please contact the same number and leave the following message: I’ve dialed the wrong number. If you wish to not be contacted by me again, leave the following message: The flight leaves at 9am. Either way the number will only be available once; after your initial call it will be disconnected. I do hope you choose the first option. Sincerely, Miss Morichi// The handwriting is fanciful, full of loops and swirls without being completely unreadable. The paper quality is nice and thick, and after the text is the imprint of someone’s lips in bright red. You turn the paper over and there is a number written down.

Pulling out your phone, you dial the number listed. It rings twice before a deep, masculine voice answers: "How may I help you?" "Hi, it’s <<print $player.firstName>>. I was looking for Mister Morichi?" "Of course. One moment." You wait as a strangely pleasing tune coming from the other end of the call. "Hello <<print $player.firstName>>!" The voice is feminine and playful. "...Miss Morichi?" "Of course, darling. Miss Morichi will be fine for the time being. I’m so happy you decided to contact me!" You can hear honey dripping from every word. "So... why ask for Mister Morichi?" "So I know it was you calling and not one of my other associates, darling!" //Okay....// "You said you could tell me about my Uncle?" Your curiosity is piqued. "That is one of many things we can discuss, but you’ll pardon my discretion; I am simply not comfortable talking about such matters over the phone. I would, however, love to meet you over a delightful dinner! Does the blonde girl still work at the mansion? She made a lovely stew last time that I’ve been //dying// to eat. Your uncle stubbornly refused to give me the recipe!" You can hear the faux pouting in the woman's voice. "That can be arranged." "Wonderful! I can already tell you are far more amenable than your Uncle was, god rest his soul. I will be in the area in two days for some business. I’ll only be staying for a night; my flight arrives in the morning and departs the following afternoon. In fact, if you’d indulge me, I would be very appreciative if I could bother you to rent one of your guest rooms for my stay. It’s only for a single night and I’d of course compensate you monetarily if you wish. It would be for myself and my pet. The hotels in the area are just so dull." You hesitate for a moment, but your curiosity regarding your uncle wins out over your discretion. "That sounds fine." "Wonderful, darling! Barring any troubles with my flight, I should be coming by at five thirty. You’ve no idea how much I’m looking forward to this! I’ll see you soon." "Of course." There’s a click on the other line. You sigh deeply, contemplating what you’ve just done. [[End Call.|$location]]<<set $morichiMeet to 1>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> [[Temporary shortcut to second scene in set.|Meeting Maki 2]]

- Replaced .pdf quotation marks with Notepad++ quotation marks. - Renamed the first set of choices to be sentence case instead of title case. - Adjusted elipses to three when trailing / pausing and four when it ends a sentence. - "Uncle" -> "uncle" when referencing him as part of your family. "Uncle" is capitalized when it's a name replacement. meetingMaki 1 = Premature end story arc. meetingMaki 2 = Another time. Can call in the future. meetingMaki 3 = Story progression. [TME] FLAG NOTES: The "postponed" and, maybe, "rejected" flags need to be dealt with eventually. - If "postponed" means that the interaction is deferred, then leaving `$morichiMeet` at `0` rather than using a flag may be sufficient. If not, then the flag will likely need to be removed once the deferral is resolved. - If "rejected" means "never see/hear from Maki again", then that could probably be accomplished via setting `$morichiMeet` to `-1` rather than using a flag.

You adjust your shirt once more, cursing how plain it looks. You’ve never been one for fancy clothes, but you sorely wish you had something better. You stand by the gate as the black car drives in, then quickly close them behind it. You jog back to to the girls waiting at the bottom of the stairs as the black car parks. Anna and Eve stand next to you in the same dresses they greeted you in. Anna hides her apprehension behind an impassive mask, her hands folded in front of her. Eve constantly twitches and can barely contain her excitement. You see Anna give Eve a stern glare. //Hopefully tonight I’ll get some answers....// There’s a knot in your stomach as you stare at the car. You hold your breath as the drivers door opens.... You’re momentarily confused as the car seems to shift slightly, but your confusion gives way to awe as a giant steps out. You see her upper body and head first, towering over the vehicle. Her skin reminds you of caramel, marred by harsh scars and a brown patch over her left eye, her right a blue color not unlike Anna’s. Her lips are full and covered in a purple lipstick that seems to accentuate scars at the corners of her lips that go upward mid cheek, giving her a gruesome mockery of a smile. Her nose seems crooked to you, no doubt a sign of being broken a few times. Her shorter hair reminds you of intense fire from a propane torch; reds and blues mixed with purples that give it a strange shimmer as she walks, crimson red earrings hanging from her lobes. As she walks around the front of the car, you see this giant is draped in a black strapless dress that hangs to her massive thighs, covering her broad, B-cup chest. You can see similar scars on her exposed arms and legs, including what you think is some sort of burn on her wrists. Black heels finish her ensemble as she towers over you, easily two feet your superior. //She looks like she could break me with... any part of her.... Is this Miss Morichi?// Her legs ripple with muscles as she walks, and her biceps remind you of professional wrestlers or body builders. Your eyes turn to Anna and Eve. This giant seems to have broken Anna’s impassive stare to one of shock, her eyes wide and a slight tremble in her arms. Eve, on the other hand, is staring unabashedly with sheer awe, her mouth slightly agape and shaped in a smile. The amazon strides to the passenger door and pulls it open. Out slides a smaller woman, olive skinned with hair that seems to flow from aquamarine to purple at the roots. Her dress goes past her ankles, an elegant emerald green and hanging off her attractive form. You note her posterior to be a bit on the thick side, but her breasts seem to be a solid C cup. You can tell she seems a bit older than yourself, maybe thirty five, as she looks to you. Her eyes are a vivid hazel, her nose smaller, almost bird-like and her lips a bright red. [img[images/backgrounds/mansion/courtyardChars.png]] "You must be <<print $player.firstName>>!" The voice is as bubbly and pleasant as the phone call; the aquamarine haired woman must be Morichi. She strolls to you, practically sashaying, and spreads her arms wide. "I am. Miss Morichi, I presume?" "You are correct, but please call me Maki. Let me just look at you for a moment!" She puts a hand on her hip and the other to her chin, her eyes drinking you in. You feel your discomfort grow as she circles behind you, then back to the front. "Oh, you are just so handsome! So much tastier than your uncle, if I might be so bold." Maki bites her bottom lip playfully. "...Thank you?" You’re unsure how to take her remark. She giggles lightly, a smile filling her face. She turns to Anna, similarly circling her as Anna’s gaze turns to her feet. You notice that Morichi is shorter than Anna, her shoulder length hair a stark contrast to Anna’s waist length. "Speaking of tasty.... You are the one that prepared the stew last time I was here, I think? My, you certainly have blossomed. You are such a beautiful young girl!" "Y-yes Ma’am." Anna’s voice is small as she continues to avert her gaze. You see Maki frown and fold her arms together. "Look at me." You’re taken aback when the smaller woman’s voice drops, going from light and bubbly to deep and stern. You find yourself tensing, eyes suddenly acutely aware of Maki’s every movement near Anna. The blonde girls head snaps up immediately, eyes wide in fear. You see her take a half step towards you before catching herself. "Your face matches form, sweet girl. The ground is not deserving of your radiance. If I address you I’d very much like, if <<print $player.firstName>> approves of course, for you to look at me. It delights me to see such beauty. Is that acceptable?" Maki turns to you as her voice lightens once more, shrewd eyes searching yours. "I see no issue with that." You shrug. She smiles and turns back to Anna. "What is your name?" Anna blushes. You can see her effort to keep her eyes on Maki’s face and not her feet. You see them flicker to yours, seeking approval. You give a small nod. "A-Anna, Ma’am." "Anna. A wonderful name! I can’t wait to see what you’ve made for us tonight!" You watch Maki look over to Eve, whose gaze is still fixated on Maki’s amazon companion. "And who is this little one?" Maki looks down at Eve, and you find your eyes looking at her posterior. You avert your eyes when you see Anna looking at you, a strange glint in her gaze. You do note Maki is only a handful of inches taller than Eve. "I’m Eve...." The red-haired girls words are tiny as she continues to stare past Maki. "Eve!" Anna’s tone is stern. The pig-tailed girl shakes her head and looks at Anna, before turning to a bemused Maki. "I-I’m sorry, ma’am!" "No, I think I should apologize. I am being rude! Here I am, greeting all of you without introducing my beloved pet." Maki turns to the massive woman, who you notice has pulled two luggage bags from the car. The giantess strides next to her master, towering over everyone present. "This is my lovely girl, Bubbles." Maki casually runs her fingers against the amazon's arm. //Bubbles? Seriously?// You are shocked. "Hello." Bubbles voice rumbles, an odd combination of silky smooth and boulders colliding. You see Eve fidgeting, biting her lip as she stares up at Bubbles. Her single eye looks down at Eve as Maki giggles. "I think little Eve would like to ask you something, Bubbles. I’ve no objection if <<print $player.firstName>> and Anna don’t." Maki smiles. Eve looks pleadingly towards you, and you respond with a shrug. You look to Anna, who seems to be wrestling with the quandary. "As long as it’s an appropriate question." Anna gives her younger sister a hard glare. Eve turns to Bubbles, eyes wide. "You’re so tall. You’re like a mountain... can I climb onto your shoulders?" "Eve!" Anna glares at Eve as you cover your mouth, trying to suppress a chuckle as Maki refuses to. Bubbles simply continues to stare down at Eve like a cyclops, her scarred face an impassive mask. "That is not--" Anna stops mid sentence as Maki raises a finger to her. Bubbles head turns to her masters. Maki shrugs casually, still giggling. You take a step forward as the massive woman kneels down, muscles rippling along her calves and thighs. You watch Bubbles and Eve lock eyes, a tinge of fear creeping into Eve’s as Bubbles tilts her head to one side, then the other as she turns her head to keep her singular eye on Eve’s face. Her countenance reminds you of a cat evaluating a mouse as either a potential toy or meal. "Yes." Again you are shocked as Bubbles voice rolls forth. Before you can stop her, Eve has practically leapt forward and clambered onto Bubbles massive shoulder. "Eve!" Anna speaks again, stepping towards her sister. Bubbles slowly stands, one arm curling over Eve’s legs as they hang off to one side of her muscular frame. Eve laughs happily, one hand on Bubbles arm as the other rests on her fiery head. "I’m so high! This is amazing!" Eve laughs. You gulp as Maki laughs and Anna frets, glaring up at her sister for the first time ever. "Eve! You will fall! Get down here!" "She will not fall." Bubbles voice resounds like thunder against Maki’s laughter, which quickly dies down as she tilts her head towards her massive servant. Anna shrinks back a little, but continues to glare at Eve. "Bubbles, dear. I am getting hungry. Perhaps we can save this for after dinner?" Maki puts her hand on the amazon's back, rubbing gently. Bubbles nods gravely, her hands grasping Eve by the waist gently. //It’s like watching someone with a doll...// You watch her lift Eve from her shoulder and place her back on the ground with no effort. "Awwww...." Eve pouts as Anna grabs her hand, pulling her sister to her. "As fantastic as that was, let us go inside! If someone could show Bubbles where to put our bags?" Maki croons, sidling up next to you. "I can!" Eve raises her hand eagerly. "I can show her." Anna says firmly, looking down at Eve. "You should go wash up for dinner." You can’t help but smile as Eve pouts. Bubbles nods and picks up the bags once more. Anna pulls her sister with her as she leads Bubbles into the mansion. "My my, how very interesting." Maki murmurs, pressing a finger against her lips. You look at her curiously as you both walk towards the door. "What’s that?" "Four words. My Bubbles must have taken a liking to your Eve." Maki giggles. [[Third Scene in set.|Meeting Maki 3]]<<addtime { minute : 14 }>><<run $maki.addFlag("met")>><<set $morichiMeet to 2>><<movenpc "maki" "frontYard">>

<<if $anna.meal is 1>>The table is laid out with the usual fine dishware and cutlery, five places set in total. You see a bowl of salad next to the usual dressings and a large vegetable platter. You see a large bowl containing a nice, thick stew and two bottles next to that. A large platter of fruit wedges and strawberries are set out, no doubt for a dessert as there’s a can of whipped cream next to it. "This looks delightful!" Maki claps her hands together, her eyes looking over each item before the seatings. "Ah, you have the girls eat with you?" "Yes. I don’t see the point of this big table if I’m the only one eating at it." Maki laughs, looking up at Bubbles. "See? I’m not the only one! You have this large dining room, and most of the time you only have one or two people at it in a mansion filled with people? Makes no sense." She casually brushes her hand down the chiseled arm of her companion. You sit down. Maki takes a seat next to you quickly, and you see Anna’s eye seem to twitch. You wonder why until you realize your guest has taken the seat Anna usually sits in. Anna shuffles over to the seat next to Eve instead, averting her gaze from Maki. You hear the chair creak as Bubbles gingerly sits in it. You panic inwardly for a moment as you worry it may collapse under her, but you sigh with relief as no crisis presents itself. You see Eve licking her lips, looking at the can of whipped cream. You smile inwardly as Anna gives her a stern glare. "Well! I am starving!" Maki smiles broadly, her white teeth flashing you. You nod and begin to pass food around. "Anna, darling. Simply delicious!" The olive-skinned woman makes a pleasant, exaggerated moan of delight as she tries the stew. "Thank you, ma’am." Anna nods briefly, her plate covered in vegetables. You see her turn and glare at Eve, who has a pile of fruits on her plate next to the bowl of stew and is currently holding the can of whipped cream. Eve's fingers hover over the nozzle, preparing to unleash whipped hell. "Eve." Anna whispers curtly. Eve pouts, but puts the can back down. Maki giggles, watching the two. "You two must be family! So adorable!" "Y-yes ma’am. We’re sisters." Anna blushes, hiding behind a mouthful of salad. "Anna is older!" Eve states this and you can’t help but laugh. "Could not have guessed!" Maki smirked, taking a sip of wine from her glass. "As I heard it, David didn’t take siblings often." "Speaking of. You said you could tell me a bit about my uncle?" You ask, looking over at her as you stir your stew. Maki smirks as she takes another bite, tilting her head to one side. "Do you want to discuss this in front of the girls?" You see her eyes flicker to Anna and Eve. Eve is busy eating her stew in a somewhat frantic manner, while Anna purposely looks away from you and Maki, her eyes staring at her vegetables. You can see a tremble in her shoulders.... "I don’t hide anything from them." You shrug. //Well, maybe Eve....// Maki nods, popping a cherry tomato into her mouth. "Well, what do you know already, darling?" You take a moment to eat some of the fragrant red stew in your bowl. "Well...." You take a drink of your water, summarizing your thoughts inwardly. "I know he was ostracized by my family, so I was never really close to him. I found out when I arrived he owned slaves, and was fairly cruel towards them." You see Anna drop her fork for a moment as the tremble in her shoulders spreads to her hands. She quickly picks it up as Eve pointedly looks away. Maki’s expression is fairly neutral, her eyes fixed on you. "I know he had some sort of scientific skills, and, again, he was extremely cruel." Maki nods, chewing idly for a moment. "So, darling.... Let me start from the beginning."

Maki claps her hands together, her eyes looking over each item before the seatings. You sit down. Maki takes the seat across from you as the girls stand in their usual spots near the table. Bubbles stands behind her master, a towering presence for the entire table. "Well! I am starving!" Maki smiles broadly, her white teeth flashing you. You nod and the girls begin to serve the two of you. Anna spoons the stew into your bowls, its delicious aroma tantalizing your nose, as Eve prepares two salads for the both of you. Maki rubs her hands together and inhales deeply before beginning to eat. "Anna, darling. Simply delicious!" The olive-skinned woman makes a pleasant, exaggerated moan of delight as she eats another spoonful. "Thank you ma’am." Anna blushes lightly as she pours wine into the glasses. Maki glances at Anna and you swear her eyes wander to her pale legs before looking over to Eve. "Are you and Eve related?" "Y-yes ma’am. We’re sisters." Anna nods, standing back next to Eve. "Anna is older!" Eve states this and you can’t help but laugh. "Could not have guessed!" Maki smirked, taking a sip of wine from her glass. "As I heard it, David didn’t take siblings often." You see Anna almost drop the bottle as her hands shake, but she catches it with her other hand and sets it down quickly. "Speaking of. You said you could tell me a bit about my uncle?" You ask, looking over at her as you stir your stew. Maki smirks as she takes another bite, tilting her head to one side. "Do you want to discuss this in front of the girls?"

"My father and your uncle did plenty of business together. The first time I met him I was a small girl, and he offered to buy me." Her laugh is cold and makes you shiver. "Needless to say, I didn’t come to this place again until I’d taken over for my dearly departed father." Maki pauses, taking another sip of her red wine as her eyes drift into the distance of her memory. "He specifically asked for me, it seems. I guess my reputation is positive! David also had a reputation for being a very brilliant chemist, so I was intrigued. I brought Bubbles and another girl, Nora, with me. At the time, he was quite affable! Polite, nice, even seemed caring. Quite like you actually, <<print $player.firstName>>." You raise an eyebrow as her eyes snap back to you, a suspicious glint lurking behind them. You feel it’s the first time you’ve seen anything from behind the smiling mask of this strange woman. "I talked to his girls and they seemed well kept.... So in the end I sold him Nora. I ended up selling him another girl some time later when he said Nora had fallen ill and died. Worst mistake I’ve ever made." You see her stab a few chunks of lettuce angrily on her fork. "I ended up discovering he’d killed Nora. Further investigation showed exactly what kind of bastard he was. Lucky for him he died before I found out. His demise would’ve been quite a bit more...." She chews thoughtfully for a moment. "Intricate." Her choice of words sends a shiver down your spine. "Had I known what kind of person, and I use that word in the loosest of terms, he truly was I would never have sold him anyone. I retrieved Diana after his demise and found out everything." You can hear regret heavy in Maki’s words. "He tricked you?" You ask, pushing aside your now empty bowl. "He did." You see her grip on her fork tighten, knuckles turning white. "An important lesson I shall not forget; verify everyone." Her grip on the silverware loosens and she smiles darkly at you. You take a moment to watch her pick out some fruits from the platter, contemplating her words. In the corner of your eye you can see Anna’s bowl half eaten, her hands folded in front of her as she sits in silence. You notice her eyes are clenched shut behind a curtain of <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair. "To summarize, darling; you’re uncle was a cunning bastard. I must give him some credit for outsmarting me. He didn’t outsmart my dear Bubbles, at least. Bubbles had doubts.... Would that I had listened...." You watch Maki brush her hand along Bubbles muscled shoulder as the giantess filled her bowl once more. "That’s very sad...." Eve blurts out. Anna frowns at her sister’s outburst, opening her eyes finally. "It is, little Eve." Maki bites into a strawberry, looking at the red headed girl. "But I suspect you and Anna already know of his cruelty, probably first hand." You see Anna's shake worsen for a moment, and you catch your hand reaching out for hers. Her fingers brush against yours as you grasp it, giving her a gentle squeeze that seems to lessen her tremors. Maki’s eyebrow raises curiously, but she shrugs and continues popping various fruits into her mouth. "He liked to make girls cry. I didn’t like him...." Eve’s voice is low as she pokes at her fruit. "Eve!" Anna whispers curtly to her sister. "It’s alright, darling. I feel Eve’s sentiment is shared with many at this table." Maki chuckles, taking another sip of her wine. There is a minute of silence as everyone finishes the food left on their plates, then Maki smiles. "Enough of such darkness! Let me ask you all a question." She steeples her fingers together, grinning just a touch too broadly. "Go ahead." You pick at a few strawberries. "Do you like our hair?" Maki ruffles her aquamarine locks before reaching up to touch the fiery hair of Bubbles. Unperturbed, the amazon finishes her bowl of stew. "Your hair?" "Yes, darling! Lately I’ve been on a bit of a beautician kick and have taken to dying hair. I decided for a nice aqua, while Bubbles offered to try the fiery conflagration!" //They look like something out of an anime....// "I think it looks fine." You smile. Maki chuckles and turns to Anna and Eve. "What do you think, girls?" Anna drags her head up to look at Maki when addressed. "I-it looks fine." Anna mimics you, folding her hands into her lap. "I love it! I want to dye my hair like Miss Bubbles!" Eve blurts out. You see Bubbles turn her singular gaze to Eve, then back to her finished bowl. "Perhaps <<print $player.firstName>> and Anna will allow me to do so next time!" Maki laughs, clapping her hands together. "Well! This meal has been wonderful! I would be delighted for a tour of this fine place now! Perhaps Eve would be willing to show us around?" You see Anna glance at you with trepidation. You contemplate this for a moment. You feel some hesitation, but then see Eve’s massive, pleading smile pointed at you. //What could it hurt...?// "That would be fine. I’ll help Anna gather the dishes." You see Maki glance towards Bubbles curiously before turning back to you. You can't tell if it's disapproval or delight on her face.... "Wonderful, darling! I know my Bubbles has certainly taken a liking to little Eve." You could not tell personally; Bubbles' face is still as etched in stone as when she arrived. You stand as Eve practically jumps up from her chair, a neutral expression on Anna’s face that tells you she isn’t happy. "I can show you the pool and the lounge... there’s a pool table! That’s in the lounge though, not the pool." Eve says excitedly, standing next to the impassive Bubbles. You hear the chair groan as the massive woman stands. "Lead the way, darling!" Maki laughs. Eve grasps Bubbles' hand and practically drags the giantess out of the dining room, Maki giggling as she follows. You can’t help but smile at her exuberance as you start to gather the dishes. "What do you think?" You look at Anna as she picks up the glasses. "They seem fine." Her answer is soft and neutral. "I thought you’d be worried, what with the entire Bubbles thing...." You chuckle, still thinking of Eve sitting on the giantess’ shoulders. Your humor dies as you see Anna tense all too familiarly. "She is...." You see her hesitate as she collects the plates from you. "She’s someone new who indulges her." "Are you worried? They don’t seem like bad people..." "I-I’m always worried." Anna shrinks a little, eyes downcast as she piles the plates with the others. "I can’t help it." You step behind Anna and put your arms around her waist gently. You feel her tense for a moment before leaning back against you, her hands wrapping around yours. You savor the warmth of her skin and breathe in the lavender scent of her hair. "It’s because you’re a good sister." You sigh, kissing the top of her head gently. "No shame there." "It’s because I-I’m selfish." Her words are soft and thick with emotion. Anna’s grip on your hands tightens, gently moving them from her waist to just over her heart. "I //need// her to be okay, because.... I-When she’s okay I don’t...." She hesitates again, twisting her body so she can look at you. "I don’t feel so broken." You sigh, one hand withdrawing from hers to caress her cheek gently. She leans into your touch, and you can’t help but smile as Anna’s lips curl into a small grin. "I’m sorry." You murmur, kissing her forehead. "I know discussing my uncle upsets you." "I-it’s fine. I know you’re curious about him." You can tell by her stutter she’s lying. You sigh, but give her a soft kiss on the cheek. "How about I help you take all of this back to the kitchen, then I’ll go find them and make sure Eve isn’t climbing all over Bubbles?" "I’d like that." [[End Scene.|$location]] [[Next Scene|Meeting Maki 4]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 17 }>>

"My father and your uncle did plenty of business together. The first time I met him I was a small girl, and he offered to buy me." Her laugh was cold and makes you shiver. "Needless to say, I didn’t come to this place again until I’d taken over for my dearly departed father." Maki pauses, taking another sip of her red wine as her eyes drift into the distance of her memory. "He specifically asked for me, it seems. I guess my reputation is positive! David also had a reputation for being a very brilliant chemist, so I was intrigued. I brought Bubbles and another girl, Nora, with me. At the time, he was quite affable! Polite, nice, even seemed caring. Quite like you actually, <<print $player.firstName>>." You raise an eyebrow as her eyes snap back to you, a suspicious glint lurking behind them. You feel it’s the first time you’d seen anything from behind the smiling mask of this strange woman. "I talked to his girls and they seemed well kept.... So in the end I sold him Nora. I ended up selling him another girl some time later when he said Nora had fallen ill and died. Worst mistake I’ve ever made." You see her stab a few chunks of lettuce angrily on her fork.

"An important lesson I shall not forget; verify everyone." Her grip on the silverware loosens and she smiles darkly at you. You take a moment to watch as Anna and Eve take away the bowls and begin putting various fruits on your plates. You see Anna’s hands shake, her jaw tense as she slides some apple slices onto your plate. "To summarize, darling; you’re uncle was a cunning bastard. I must give him some credit for outsmarting me. He didn’t outsmart my dear Bubbles, at least. Bubbles had doubts.... Would that I had listened...." You watch Maki brush her fingers along Bubbles' large hand as the girls stand back once more, though you note Anna is standing closer to you than before. "That’s very sad...." Eve blurts out. Anna frowns at her sister’s outburst. "It is, little Eve." Maki bites into a strawberry, looking at the <<print $eve.headHairColorDesc>> headed girl. "But I suspect you and Anna already know of his cruelty, probably first hand." You see Anna tremble for a moment, and you catch your hand reaching out for hers below the table. Her fingers brush against yours before you grasp it. You can feel her shaking and give her hand a gentle squeeze that seems to assuage some of Anna’s apprehension. Maki’s eyebrow raises curiously, but she shrugs and continues popping various fruits into her mouth. "He liked to make girls cry. I didn’t like him..." Eve’s voice is low as she gives Anna a sidelong glance. "Eve!" Anna whispers curtly to her sister. "It’s alright, darling. I feel Eve’s sentiment is shared with many in this room." Maki chuckles, taking another sip of her wine. There is a minute of silence as you and Maki finish eating, Anna’s hand still clenching yours. "Enough of such darkness! Let me ask you a question." She steeples her fingers together, grinning just a touch too broadly. "Go ahead." You push your plate aside. Anna quickly takes it away, reluctantly releasing her grasp. "Do you like our hair?" Maki ruffles her aquamarine locks before gesturing towards Bubbles combustible colors. "Your hair?" "Yes, darling! Lately I’ve been on a bit of a beautician kick and have taken to dying hair. I decided for a nice aqua, while Bubbles offered to try the fiery conflagration!" //They look like something out of an anime....// "I think it looks fine." You smile. Maki chuckles and turns to Anna and Eve. "What do you think, girls?" Anna drags her head up to look at Maki when addressed. "I-it looks fine." Anna folds her hands in front of her. "I love it! I want to dye my hair like Miss Bubbles!" Eve blurts out. You see Bubbles turn her singular gaze to Eve, then back to her master. "Perhaps <<print $player.firstName>> and Anna will allow me to do so next time!" Maki laughs, clapping her hands together. "Well! This meal has been wonderful! I would be delighted for a tour of this fine place now! Perhaps Eve would be willing to show us around?" You see Anna glance at you with trepidation. You contemplate this for a moment.

You stand as Eve practically dashes over to Maki and Bubbles. There’s a neutral expression on Anna’s face that tells you she isn’t happy. "I can show you the pool and the lounge... there’s a pool table! That’s in the lounge though, not the pool." Eve says excitedly, standing next to the impassive Bubbles. "Lead the way, darling!"

As you stroll outside you can hear sounds near the pool. Your curiosity is piqued, but it is replaced with concern when you hear a feminine shriek. //That’s Eve...// You jog quickly towards the cry, and find yourself shocked at what you see. You see the back of the giantess known as Bubbles, finely chiseled muscles hidden by a black one piece swimsuit. You can see more thin scars across her shoulders along with what looks like criss crossed burn marks, making you question where this amazon came from even more. You see Eve clamoring out of the pool, soaking wet and laughing happily. She dashes back to Bubbles, who reaches a hand down. Eve giggles and takes it, smiling brightly as Bubbles lifts her cleanly up and tosses her effortlessly into the pool in one motion. "She is quite a woman." You turn, surprised to hear Maki’s voice and even more shocked you didn’t notice her in one of the lawn chairs, a vape pen in one of her hands. She is in a two piece blue bikini that barely holds back her breasts, watching Bubbles and Eve. "She is... pretty unique." You agree. "I know you have questions about her. Go ahead." Maki said idly, blowing smoke from her red lips. You sit in the lawn chair next to Maki, now able to see Bubble’s stone face as she kept tossing Eve into the pool, still impassive and emotionless. "She was a fighter, right?" "That is an obvious one. Her former Master put her to work in many fight pits. That is a thing, but the ones she participated in were not as...." Maki seemed to search for the correct word. "Organized as the ones we have in The States. Here, weapons aren’t allowed unless it is a specific match type. Overseas... well, it isn’t unheard of to have a knife end up in the ring." You can see the frown in Maki’s face as she looks at Bubbles, her eyes glossing over as memories ran through her head. "They called her The Titan. She was never beaten in near a hundred fights, often two versus one and weapons ending up in the ring. Each scar you see is a fight she won." You can hear the pride in Maki’s voice, like a mother expounding her child's virtues. I wonder how much she’s exaggerating.... "Even her eye? And the cuts on her mouth?" Maki turns to you, an eyebrow raised. "Brazen, aren’t we? Most would not be so bold as to ask that." She took another hit of her vape pen, the aroma of strawberry filling the air as she exhaled. "The Glasgow Smile was done outside the ring as a message to her former Master regarding his debts. I hear stories of her facing the assailant in a fight soon after; did not end well for him. It was an unfortunate precursor." "I take it he owed you as well?" You motion to Bubbles, who currently is allowing Eve to climb on her shoulders to jump into the pool. "That... is a far darker tale, if you wish to hear it." [[You do.|Meeting Maki 4a]] [[Move on.|Meeting Maki 4b]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 8 }>><<set $morichiMeet to 4>>

"I’m intrigued to hear it." Maki splays out on her side in the lawn chair, facing you with a sly smile. "Her master had begun racking up debts faster than he could pay them, despite Bubbles' success. He ended up coming to an agreement with some of his debtors to end Bubbles’ winning streak, and her life, in exchange for the debts being wiped clean." Maki sighed. "If she was winning and making money, why do that?" You are dumbfounded. Maki blew another cloud of strawberry scent into the air. "Because, darling, he was scared of her. Bubbles had a brother, Gregory, of whom her Master also had in his stable. He died from pneumonia, and her Master became scared he could not control Bubbles anymore." Maki clucked her tongue angrily. "He was a fool." "He sounds like it." "Anyway, I caught wind of this scheming. I’d had my eye on her for some time, truth be told. She is magnificent." You hear her voice become breezy for a moment, a mischievous grin on her face. "I had to act. I found the fight and attended. I made several wagers that Bubbles would win her fight, despite the fact it was four on one. One of those wagers was with her master for double what was owed. During that fight, her master slid a knife to one of the opponents. She lost her eye, but ended those four fighters' careers. It was the most brutal thing I’d ever seen, truth be told." Maki blew two streams through her nose as she ran a hand through her aquamarine hair. "Afterwards, I found her master. He had a gun and fully intended to kill her. Luckily, I got to him first." "Did you buy Bubbles with that debt?" "I bought her life, but not her. He had more pressing concerns to deal with anyway, such as four very angry people who were promised a win." You hear her chuckle in memorandum. "Is there a difference really, in what you bought?" Maki looks at you with a wry smile. "Absolutely, darling. Your naivety is remarkably refreshing, if I might be so bold." Maki flashes her white teeth in a broad smile towards you. [[Move on.|Meeting Maki 4b]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

"I have another question for you. Well, an observation moreso." "I’m all ears, darling." Maki smiles as she watched Bubbles step into the pool at Eve’s begging. "You are not what I expected. I’m...." You stumble over your words for a moment. "I’m unsure how to put this." "Well, just ask it. I have no shame, darling." Maki takes another drag from her pen. "I, ah.... You’re remarkably personable for a slave trader." You watch her olive face break out into laughter, strawberry scented smoke spewing from her lips. "How personal! I suppose I am. Not all of us are cruel bastards like your uncle, you know. Some just want toys to play with, some treat it as simply business... and some take it a little more personally." You watch her adjust something on her pen. "It’s... I guess I just didn’t know what to expect. All I have to go off of is my uncle’s journals and Anna and Eve." You rub the back of your neck idly. "Speaking of. Those two are related, I think it was said at dinner?" "Sisters, yes it was." You see Maki tilt her head and purse her lips in thought. "That’s quite an age gap...." You smile inwardly as she takes a drag from her pen once more. //I’m going to blow her mind...// "Actually, it’s only a few years. Anna’s 21. Eve is 18." You suppress your laugh as a strangled cough comes from Maki, more smoke pouring from her nose as she continues hacking. You see Bubbles turn in the pool, glaring towards the two of you with Eve sitting on her shoulders. "It’s fine! I’m fine!" Maki croaks, waving her hand towards the girls in the pool. You gulp when Bubbles single eye lingers on you, narrowed and menacing, before turning away. "Don’t worry about her. She... well, she’s not harmless, but she won’t kill you unless I say so." Maki assures you, her voice still a bit hoarse. "...That is a slight relief." You chuckle nervously. "Eve is 18? You jest." "According to both of them, Eve is 18." You assure her, shrugging helplessly. "Does she have some sort of malady?" Maki’s voice is strangely curious. "Well. As far as I can tell, my uncle did something to keep her looking this way. Something in his lab, but I haven’t been able to figure it out." Maki taps her lips in thought, her eyes drawn to the pig-tailed girl. "Interesting. I shall remember that." Maki murmurs, her voice low. "Anyway, another question if I may?" "Of course." "Do you love Anna?" [[Continue.|Meeting Maki 4c]] By LFNPark <<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

<<if $anna.affection lte 900>>You balk at Maki for a moment, staring at her olive cheeks. She smiles, clearly amused by stunning you. "There is something between you two. I don’t know if it’s unrequited or otherwise, but the way she is around you and you are around her... well. I am not blind. You think you are the first master to fall for their slave?" "She’s not--" Maki snorts loudly, cutting you off. "Please. Earlier you called me a slave trader, so let us not tip toe around it. She is your slave. You can demand her body on a whim; I’m sure you’ve fucked her many a time by now." Maki’s smile infuriates you. "That’s not fair! I didn’t ask for this!" You can feel your cheeks getting warm. "Perhaps not, but you are here; in your uncle's estate with his slaves. You sleep in the same bed where he violated and abused that girl so the question, again; do you love her, or are you simply using her?" There’s a steel edge in her voice that curbs your first instinct to tell her to go to hell. You sit in the chair, glaring at this woman for a few moments. Maki’s face is unusually neutral as she locks her steely gaze to yours. You blink first. "It’s... complicated." You find the words as lame as they were in your head. "I like her... I think she likes me, but there’s..." You search for the right word. "Baggage." "Considering your predecessor, that is an understatement." You hear the steel edge soften in Maki’s tone. You sigh, rubbing your face in exasperation. "She’s scared. Anna’s always scared of me, that I’m going to be like my uncle and hurt her. I’m not him. I don’t have any intention of hurting her or Eve, but I see her cringe or shrink when I touch her, accidental or otherwise. Even if she’s the one who wants the affection, it’s this thing always lurking behind her eyes and everything she says. Even when we’re...." You hesitate for a moment. "I don’t know what to do about it. Sometimes I think the only reason she’s intimate is because she thinks she’s expected to, not because she wants to." You’re surprised how good you feel as the words came forth. You look back to Maki and are surprised to see her staring at you, a thoughtful expression on her face as she taps her chin with aqua colored nails. You’re reminded of your Mother when she caught you doing something wrong, that intense glare as she judged every word. "Well. You are truly screwed, darling." You look at her curiously. //That’s... an interesting thing to say....// Maki sits up, resting her arms on her knees. "The poor girl likes you, but she must overcome her ‘baggage,’ as you say. She either will and it will be the most intimate, passionate sex you can imagine, or she won’t." Maki shrugged. //Good incentive, thanks....// "Thanks for that, I guess." You see her smile return with a light laugh as she rests her head in her hands. "I’m not here to solve your problems, darling. Although I would not mind offering you some...." You see her lick her lips as she stares at you. "Release." You blink as you let her words sink in. It takes a moment, all the while Maki smiles at you mischievously. "You insult me, then I tell you about my situation with Anna and your response is to proposition me?" your voice is incredulous. "Oh darling, of course! Would you feel better knowing I’d love for you to bring Anna as well?" Your jaw drops, drawing laughter from her. //...Who is this woman?// "Look, dear. You are a handsome man and she is a beautiful woman. A woman such as myself could show you both an amazing night of sexual escapades and joy. It might do wonders for Anna emotionally, certainly physically, and it would be educational as well. Not to mention a lot of fun! Or maybe she will fall for me instead!" She leans back, that grin just a touch wider than you’d think physically possible. "I...ah...." You stumble over your words, searching for the right ones. "It’s an interesting idea...." Maki smiles, rising from the lawn chair with grace. "See if she is willing, darling. I promise to be gentle." She begins to stroll towards the pool, her hips swaying side to side delectably. Maki pauses for a moment, looking over her shoulder at you. "If you’d like." She winks before continuing her walk. <<else>> You balk at Maki for a moment, staring at her olive cheeks. She smiles, clearly amused by stunning you. "There is something between you two. I don’t know if it’s unrequited or otherwise, but the way she is around you and you are around her... well. I am not blind. You think you are the first master to fall for their slave?" "She’s not--" Maki Snorts loudly, cutting you off. "Please. Earlier you called me a slave trader, so let us not tip toe around it. She is your slave. You can demand her affection on a whim; I’m sure you’ve fucked her many a time by now." Maki’s smile infuriates you. "That’s not true!" "The slave part or the fucking? Darling, we know one part to be true and I would be highly surprised if the other wasn’t as well. Perhaps...." She narrows her eyes for a moment. "Perhaps your tastes are more of your uncles? Less sex, more torture? Less love, more sadist?" You are livid. Her tone, so casual and light. Her words bite into you, sinking deep into your psyche and touching sensitive nerves... secret thoughts you’d tried to push away your entire stay here. You don’t remember standing, but suddenly you’re towering over Maki, your cheeks blazing. "I love her. Not because you say she's a slave and I'm her master. I love her because she is the most selfless person I've ever known. I love her because she has an inner strength I could never hope to have. I love her because she is kind, even in the aftermath of all the cruelty forced on her.... I love her, and she breaks my heart every day." The words tumble from your mouth in a wave. Maki’s visage remains unmoved as they wash over her. "Everyday I learn more of her past and it’s like getting kicked in the chest. It physically hurts me, Maki. The woman I love suffered so much... you can't imagine what my uncle did to her. He wanted to break her so Anna would...." You choke a moment as raw emotion causes your words to stumble. "That she’d help him break Eve... to see the look of betrayal on Eve’s face. How twisted... how absolutely fucked up do you have to be for that to be your joy?" The change of Maki’s face barely registers, as you can’t seem to stop. "So he raped her... he tortured her. He kept her living in a constant state of terror for years. The things he did... she wakes up in the night screaming sometimes and all I can do is hold her until she stops crying. You saw her at dinner; talking about my uncle nearly brings her to tears! And you have the gall...." You stop when you feel a wetness slide down your cheek. You wipe the tears from your face with the back of your hand. "Don't you ever fucking compare or insinuate I am anything like my uncle again." You sit back down, taking a few deep breaths to quell the trembling you find in your hands. Maki looks at you with a thoughtful expression. You’re reminded of a cat deciding if a mouse is a toy or dinner.... "My my. You are passionate. I like that!" Her smile surprises you, her fingers on her chin. "A fiery speech! You’ve been holding that one in for a while, haven’t you? Felt good to say it aloud?" //She’s not wrong....// You’re surprised how right she is.... You feel a lightness you didn’t feel before, like a weight falling off your shoulders. "...Yeah...." You admit it reluctantly. You hear her chuckle, but her face darkens slightly. "I do apologize, dear. I am often forward with my words and I push people to see how far I can. I told you at dinner how your uncle upset me... I must be absolutely sure you aren’t like him if we are to go forward. So I push." Maki shrugs idly. "I’m not. I swear it." You are exasperated at having to say it once again. "I’m beginning to believe you. Your passion is...." You see her shiver jovially. "Invigorating. The sex between you and Anna must be fantastic. What I wouldn’t give for some of that." Maki licks her lips slowly, looking at you with a smoldering intensity. "...Excuse me?" You are perplexed as she starts to laugh. "Oh darling. You are so adorable sometimes. You and Anna are both delightful and delicious people, and if you have that same passion in sex? That’s an experience I’d love." Your jaw drops a bit in shock "...You insult me, push me, make me angry... and now you’re propositioning me?" Maki laughs as she stands up from the chair. "Well, you and Anna to be fair. I bet I could teach you both quite a lot... as well as have some sexy fun. You should ask her if she’d be up for it." Maki winks at you as she strolls towards the pool, leaving you alone with your thoughts. <</if>> [[Continue.|$location]] [[Temporary shortcut to fifth scene in set.|Meeting Maki 5]] By LFNPark<<addtime { minute : 21 }>>

<<if $anna.affection lte 825>> You’ve just taken off your shirt in preparation for sleep when you hear a knock at the door. "Come in." You’re pleased to see it’s Anna. She closes the door behind her and stands there, looking down with a tremble in her shoulders. Curious, you move closer. You can see her eyes are slightly puffy and red, tear streaks going down her cheek. "Anna? What happened?" You move closer, gently touching her shoulders. Anna drags her gaze upwards to yours, seeming to search for a moment before throwing her arms around your midsection. She buries her face in your bare chest as you reflexively wrap your arms around her. "Anna.... What’s wrong?" "I-I just..." She hesitates briefly, her words muffle slightly. "I-I think I almost lost you." Her voice is soft, raw emotion breaking her words. "I don’t understand. I’m right here." Anna withdraws her hands from around you, her fingers lingering along your waist. "Miss Morichi. She wanted to t-talk to me. She asked me questions...." //Oh no....// "What did she ask you?" You grasp Anna’s hands gently. Her fingers curl around yours hesitantly. "She wanted to know i-if you were hurting Eve and I... like, like your Uncle did." Anna stutters, her thumbs rubbing your knuckles gently. "I... froze. I said the wrong thing... she said she’d have Bubbles k-kill you if you were...." She sniffles, looking back down. You’re unsure how to feel about this.... You know your visitor was trying to find out if you were like your departed Uncle. You also remember Bubbles and her numerous scars, then Maki’s words to you at dinner.... //Intricate. She’d have no problem killing me... Maki or Bubbles.// A mental image of the giant amazon Bubbles snapping you like a twig sends shivers down your spine. "I told her...." Anna hesitates, her cheeks flushing red. "I-I told her you weren’t hurting us." Her eyes look away from yours. You wonder what was exactly said, but you opt to not push the pale girl before you. "She... she said she believes me. You’re not like him. Then...." Anna flushes an even deeper shade of crimson. "Then she kissed me." You raise an eyebrow questioningly. //Well... that isn’t terribly surprising....// "Is she a good kisser?" You can’t help but smirk as Anna’s mouth opens and closes, trying to formulate an answer. "I-She... I guess...." You chuckle. "Is she better than me?" You laugh as you tease Anna further, her eyes widening. You can practically see the steam coming from her ears. "N-no... of course not... I-I." You silence her with a quick kiss to her cheek. "Y-you’re not mad?" "No. Maki said earlier she thinks we’re... I think she said delicious? In fact she may have mentioned... well...." You find yourself hesitating. "She wants to have s-sex with us." Anna finishes your statement, stumbling momentarily over her words. "Yeah." You sigh, letting the silence linger between you and Anna for a few moments. "Do... do you want to sleep with her?" Anna’s voice is soft but questioning as she looks back into your eyes. "I...." You take a moment to think. "I can’t deny she’s attractive, but I don’t think I could unless you were involved." You grasp Anna’s wrists gently, running your thumb up her palm. "I don’t want to hurt you. If this is something you want to explore... this is your call." You see her eyes focus down at your chest, a tremble running through her shoulders. "I-I’ve been with girls b-before, but with...." She shrinks against you, her shoulders hunched together as her voice falters. "With him. It... I didn’t--" You wrap your arms around her tightly. "I'm here now, Anna. I’ll keep you safe. Do you think Maki would hurt you?" //I doubt it. The woman was going to kill me if I was hurting the girls....// Anna runs her hands along yours, her thoughts in turmoil. "No, I-I don't think so..." "It’s up to you, Anna." [[Selfish Anna.|Meeting Maki 5a]] [[Brave Anna.|Meeting Maki 5b]] By LFNPark <<else>> You’re just taking off your shirt in preparation for sleep when you hear a knock at the door. "Come in." You’re pleased to see it’s Anna. She closes the door behind her and stands there, looking down. Curious, you move closer. You can see her eyes are slightly puffy and red, tear streaks going down her cheek. "Anna? What happened?" You move closer, grasping her chin to pull her gaze to you. Anna looks into yours, seeming to search for a moment before throwing her arms around your midsection and burying her face in your chest. "Anna...." Instinctively you wrap your arms around her shoulders, her skin warm against yours. "What’s wrong?" "Nothing... I-I just...." She hesitates briefly, her eyes flickering to your face and down again. "I-I think I almost lost you." Her voice is soft, raw emotion breaking her words. "I don’t understand. I’m right here." Anna presses a hand against your side, tracing a finger along one of your ribs. "Miss Morichi. She wanted to t-talk to me. She asked me questions...." //Oh no....// "What did she ask you?" You place a hand on her cheek, bringing her gaze back to yours. "She wanted to know i-if you were hurting Eve and I... like your Uncle did." Anna grasps the hand on her cheek, rubbing her soft fingers along your knuckles. "I... froze.

"I-I told her I love you." Her eyes look into yours with an unasked question on her lips. "I love you, too." You reassure her, your other hand gently touching her waist. You see her smile and your heart flutters for a moment. "She... she said she believes me. You’re not like him. Then...." Anna flushes an even deeper shade of crimson. "Then she kissed me." You raise an eyebrow questioningly. //Well... that isn’t terribly surprising....// "Is she a good kisser?" You can’t help but smirk as Anna’s mouth opens and closes, trying to formulate an answer.

You take a moment to think. "I can’t deny she’s attractive, but I don’t think I could unless you were involved." You brush your hand down Anna’s neck, her hand lingering on your wrist. "I love you, Anna. I don’t want to hurt you. If this is something you want to explore... this is your call." You see her eyes focus down at your chest, a tremble running through her shoulders.

You watch her face as her mind churns. Anna bites her bottom lip adorably as she looks at you, her fingers gently brushing your neck. "I...." She hesitates before she surges forward, pressing her lips against yours abruptly. You groan as her tongue pushes past your lips to find yours. Your hands find her shoulders as hers press against your chest, nails digging into your skin. As her lips continue to move against yours, your hands glide along her neck to cup her cheeks gently. She pulls away with a deep breath, eyes half closed as her cheeks flush warmly against your touch. "I don’t want to share you tonight." Anna murmurs, running her hands along your own. "You don’t have to." You give her another kiss, and you feel her nibble gently on your bottom lip. You slowly step backward until you feel the bed behind your legs, your lips moving voraciously against hers. Anna’s silky fingers explore your chest, dragging them down your stomach. Your hands move to her shoulders, pulling the straps of her dress down. It falls to her waist, revealing her pale chest held only by her white bra. You run your hands along Anna’s curves as her own reach behind her to unclasp her bra, revealing her already erect nipples. Anna lets it drop to the floor as she presses herself against you, her tongue sliding over yours as her bare chest mashes against yours. You slide your fingers down the small of her back, hooking her white panties with your thumbs and dragging them down her firm ass. Anna moaned softly, backing up and hurriedly removing her dress and panties before voraciously attacking your lips again. She breaks the kiss with a gasp, a strand of saliva lingering from her tongue to yours before she presses her cheek against yours, her skin hot against you. "What do you want of me, Master?" Anna moans seductively in your ear, her cheeks flushed. [[Kneel down.|Meeting Maki 5aa]] By LFNPark

"Kneel down." "Yes, my Master." Anna’s tone is sultry as she gives you a soft kiss. You sit down on the edge of the bed with a grin. Anna kneels between your legs, her hands resting on your thighs with an eager smile. She presses her lips to your chest, nipping gently at your skin. You see her smile widen when you moan in approval, flicking her tongue across your abdomen. Her deft hands undo your belt, slowly pulling your pants down to reveal your boxers, your erection straining against the fabric. Achingly slow she pulls your pants from your legs, leaving them laying with her bra before kissing the inside of your thighs. You lean back a little as her fingers hook the waistband of your boxers, pulling them down with deliberate slowness as she looks up at you with adoration in her eyes. Your cock springs free, pointing at Anna’s pale face as she pulls your final piece of clothing off. Anna’s eyes meet yours as she runs her tongue along your length, sending a shiver of pleasure through you. She swirls her tongue around your swollen purple head, leaving it slick and glistening before engulfing it in her warm mouth. You groan as her tongue runs over it repeatedly, Anna’s hands running gently over your thighs. You watch as she slowly slides further down, taking more of you in her mouth. Her tongue runs against the underside of your cock, and you feel the back of her throat soon enough. Anna gags momentarily, sliding back a little before pushing forward again. You rest a hand gently on her head as she moans, sending amazing vibrations through you. Abruptly she slides back down, releasing your member from her mouth with a wet sound. It glistens with her saliva in the light before Anna attacks it again, bobbing her head along your shaft in rapid movements. You moan, tightening your grip on her hair and causing Anna to moan happily, sending more vibrations along your cock. You feel her start sucking in addition to her tongue ministrations, causing lewd, wet sounds from her lips as her eyes lock with yours. You can’t help but groan as this continues for some time. "Anna..." You gasp. You feel your release close. Anna slides her mouth from your cock with another wet pop, her soft hand starting to pump your saliva slick member vigorously as her mouth hangs open. You groan as your hips jerk, sending a thick strand across Anna’s face, roping across her chin to her cheek. Another lands directly in her open mouth, and smaller ropes drape across the top of her pale breasts. You take a few breaths, watching Anna swallow your seed, then using her fingers to spread it across her chest with an adoring smile. "You are so hot...." You murmur, running a hand through her hair as she uses your boxers to clean her hands and face. "Thank you, <<print $player.firstName>>." She whispers, standing up slowly. She straddles your lap, her knees on either side of your hips, and rests her arms on your shoulders. Anna kisses you softly, then nibbles on your lower lip. "What’s next, Master?" She murmurs huskily, her waist undulating against you.. [[Missionary.|Meeting Maki 5ab]] By LFNPark

"Come here, you sexy girl." You run your hands down her back as you attack her lips with your own. Anna sighs happily as she pulls at you, seeming to crave your skin against hers. You rest your hands on her hips. You grip them as you fall back on the bed, a happy squeak coming from Anna as she falls on top of you, her glistening breasts pressing against you chest. She looks down at your face, her hair falling like a curtain around your head. "What do you want, Anna?" You murmur, arching your neck to give her a light kiss. You watch her lips follow yours as you move, her cheeks flushed. "Y-you. I want you...." She stutters, moving her hips against your quickly returning erection. You smile as you grasp her hips and roll over on top of Anna, who gasps in surprise. You grasp her hands in yours and press them into the bed above her head. You take a moment, looking at the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl beneath you. Her glistening chest heaves with each breath, an excitement gripping her as her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs stare into yours full of need. "What do you want me to do, Anna?" You murmur, giving her another teasing kiss. She moans as your lips come away from hers, Anna’s pale arms wriggling in your grip. "P-please... take me." She whines, biting her bottom lip. You release her hands, which immediately stroke your cheek and jaw as she captures your lips with hers. You pull away after a few moments, eliciting a soft whine from Anna as she lays back. You sit up, letting your fingers drag across her torso before resting them on her hips. You take a moment to savor the beauty lying before you, her breasts still glistening. You drink in every one of her feminine curves and savor the adoration in her eyes. You watch her spread her legs, revealing her pink folds to you. "Whatever you want, milady." You run your cock along her pussy, eliciting a shudder from Anna before you push into her depths. She moans as you enter her, then gasps as you grasp her legs and rest her calves on your shoulders. You feel her inner walls tighten in this position as you continue pushing deeper into her with a soft moan. "<<print $player.firstName>>...." Anna squeaks when your pubic hair touches hers, her back arching as her hands clutch your sheets. You look down and meet her half lidded eyes with your own, her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs locked with yours as you pull back until just your tip remains, then thrust forward in one motion. Anna’s moans grow as you start a steady rhythm of hard thrusts, the sound of your flesh colliding filling your bedroom. "So deep! <<print $player.firstName>>...." Anna cries out, her fingers pinching her pert nipples as she shudders against you after a few minutes. You feel her tighten and cover your member with her fluids, but you press forward even faster. You find the sight of Anna’s shuddering form intoxicating as her hands cover her mouth after a louder moan, her breasts twitching in time to your thrusts. "Anna...." You grunt as you start to move faster, eliciting a squeal from Anna as she absently starts sucking on her pinky. "Oh god... <<print $player.firstName>>... can’t stop--" Her words end in a ragged moan as she shudders again, her toes curling. You swear she continues like this for a while as you continue, waves of small orgasms rippling through her in rapid succession. "<<print $player.firstName>>! S-still cumming! Can’t... stop...." Her moans are ragged as her chest heaves. You redouble your efforts as you feel a second release building, which seems to drive her even wilder beneath you. You watch her eyes roll back as her mouth hangs open, shuddering continuously as you thrust once, twice, three times as you climax within her hot folds. You collapse next to Anna as she breathes, coming down from her bliss. She lazily turns her head to face you, a soft smile on her lips. "I...." She takes a deep breath, trying to form words. "That was... amazing. I-I feel so good." She murmurs. You smile, looking at her naked form, your fluids and her own running down her thigh. "You’re an amazing girl, Anna." You murmur, running your hand along her cheek. She folds her hand into yours for a moment, giving it a loving squeeze. She brings your hand to her lips, kissing it gently before running her tongue along your fingers in slow, deliberate strokes. "You’re so good to me...." She murmurs before taking two of your fingers and suckling them gently. "You’re so sexy...." You whisper. You see her smile before she crawls on top of you, her face hovering over yours as her breasts press into your chest. You feel her hot breath on your lips as Anna searches your eyes for a moment, then closes them as a she presses her forehead against yours. "I...." Your heart skips a moment in fear as you see a tear slowly trail down her cheek. "I thought I was going to lose you." Her voice is barely above a whisper. "I’m fine, Anna." You try to reassure her, your hands caressing her cheeks gently. "I-I was scared... I //am// scared of losing you." Anna’s hands run over yours, her eyes slowly opening to stare into yours. "You and Eve. Y-you’re my world...." She murmurs, stammering as raw emotion cracked her voice. "I can’t-I don’t...." Her words end in a choked sob. You wrap your arms around her tightly as she buries her face against your chest, soft sobs filling your room. "I’m here, Anna." You whisper, rubbing her back gently. "I know. <<print $player.firstName>>." She sniffles, pressing her cheek against your chest. "I’m always scared... I don’t know if I’ll ever not be...." Anna lifts her head from your chest, giving your lips a gentle kiss. "But tonight... I want to try." She whispers, her warm breath tickling your cheeks before Anna begins voraciously attacking your lips with hers. [[A long night.|Meeting Maki 5ac]] By LFNPark

You lose track of the night in a blur of passion and flesh. Anna seems insatiable, her constant moans and cries of pleasure fueling your desires as she constantly coaxes your cock back to life after every release. You’ve mentally ticked off many positions you’d dreamed of with this <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl, constantly impressed with her flexibility and amazed at her stamina. Alas, you can tell you’re both nearing the end. Anna’s cheek lays on a pillow, her ass in the air facing you as her body shakes against each of your thrusts into her messy pussy. Anna’s hair is sticking to her skin in long strands, her body glistening in a mess of sweat and fluids. Her arms lay limply above her head as she watches you, her tongue peeking out with every hoarse moan as her inner folds grip you once again. Your hips and legs are burning, and you can feel your stamina ebbing quickly as you grip her hips. Your increase your pace, moving one hand to her ass. You hear her gasp as you begin prodding her asshole with one finger. "<<print $player.firstName>>...." She moans, then cries out as you press a thumb just past her sphincter. You feel her grip your cock tighter as another orgasm wracks her body. This pushes you into three more vigorous thrusts, releasing more of your seed into her inner depths. You both collapse to the bed, breathing heavily. You find yourself unable to do much except breath as you lay there, though you turn your head to look at your lover. Anna crawls next to you, pressing her slick body against yours as she rests her head on your shoulder, similarly out of breath. "I’m spent...." You croak. "I c-can’t... go anymore...." Anna whispers hoarsely, eyes closing as she snuggles against you. You find yourself drifting away from consciousness quickly, Anna’s messy face the last image you see before darkness overtakes you. [[Continue.|Meeting Maki 5ad]] By LFNPark

When you finally stir, you can feel the stiffness of your muscles and the grimy sensation on your skin. You can also smell the stench of body odor and dried fluids, but you can ignore that as you stare at the still slumbering form of Anna, her hair now matted and stuck to parts of her pale skin, dried fluids a reminder of your escapades last night. You lean your head back against the pillow, contemplating a return to slumber when your door opens. You blink away the blurriness of waking up to see the olive-skinned face of Maki smiling widely as she sashays in, a silky red robe billowing around her. "Mmmmm. I know //that// smell!" She murmurs, inhaling deeply. You remember that you’re still naked and try to grab at the covers. Your muscles refuse to move as quickly as you’d like, and your movements cause Anna to begin to stir. "<<print $player.firstName>>...?" She murmurs, her eyes slowly opening. They widen like dinner plates when she sees Maki standing in the room, smiling at you both. Her movements are similarly stiff as she clutches the sheets, trying to cover herself as she blushes. "Oh darlings, please." Maki laughs, reaching into the pockets of her robe. "You’d need far more leather and at least ten more bodies before anything in this room shocks me." The smaller woman pulls two water bottles from her pockets and tosses them onto the bed. "Here. I suspect you are both very dehydrated. I came to tell you that breakfast will be ready shortly. Bubbles and Eve are preparing something, I hope you don’t mind." She bats her eyes at you, that mischievous grin ever present. "Of course not." You say hoarsely, surprised how dry your throat is. "Excellent, darlings! I advise cleaning up. We don’t want young Eve to get curious, do we?" She chuckles, turning on her heel. She stops at the doorway, looking back at you both with a wistful expression. "Maybe next time." Maki walks back out, closing the door behind her. You look over at Anna, still blushing and clutching the covers against her naked body. "I guess we’d better get cleaned up." You cough hoarsely, grabbing one of the water bottles to quench your dry throat. Anna remains silent, simply nodding as she also starts sipping at the water bottle. You try to get up and have to fight your legs to get to a standing position. You see Anna shift in the bed, similarly struggle to rise. You can see her legs wobble as she starts to collect her clothing, clutching them to her chest. You brush your fingers against her shoulder when she gets close and pull her into an embrace. You see her blush, but Anna rests her head against your shoulder. "Are you okay?" You ask her softly, kissing her forehead. "I’m very sore...." She murmurs, but smiles at you. "I’ll be okay." "Do you want to shower with me?" You see her cheeks blush, but she shakes her head gently. "I’m afraid if we do, we might miss breakfast. I’ll use one of the guest showers." She gives you a kiss on your cheek. "I’ll see you in the dining room then, okay?" She nods and you watch her stiffly walk to the door, a huge grin on your face. Anna stops for a moment, looking over her bare shoulders to give you a small smile before leaving quickly. [[Temporary shortcut to the sixth scene in the set.|Meeting Maki 6]] By LFNPark

Anna is silent for a moment before her hands grasp yours, intertwining her fingers with your digits. "If you’re with me... I can try anything." She kisses your hand once before gazing longingly at you. You smile softly, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. "You want to go get her?" You ask softly. Anna seems to hesitate, but nods slowly. Reluctantly she withdraws her hands from yours and opens the door, disappearing down the hall. As you wait you find your stomach in a knot. You aren’t sure what to expect; the small woman has been surprising you since her arrival. //She is older than both of us... and she obviously has had some sort of relationship with Bubbles. That must be insanely physical, so... I really hope there’s no whips. I don’t think Anna is ready for that... she may never be ready for that.// You sit on the edge of the bed with your thoughts racing, anticipation making the knot in your stomach bigger. Anna returns shortly, a blush in her cheeks and an uneasy twitch as she steps into the room. Maki practically sashays in after her, a red robe tied loosely around her waist and a cloth bag under one arm, her feet bare. The smaller woman flashes you a wide smile as Anna closes the door, then resumes her usual dutiful stance, arms folded in front of her. "Darlings! I am so happy you’ve decided to allow me into your partnership for a nice little menage a trois." Her voice practically drips with bubbly happiness. "You brought a bag?" You ask, tilting your head curiously. "Oh, dear, of course. Just a few things for the night, like water bottles. Don’t want to get dehydrated, you know... plus some other things that may be of use." She smiles naughtily, pressing one finger to her lips with a giggle. You watch her set the bag near the bed, then rub her hands together. "So, just for your own edification: Bubbles is currently reading with Eve so there is no worries there! They get along so fabulously it’s simply adorable!" Maki laughed, turning to Anna. The taller girl's gaze remains fixed to the floor, the blush in her cheeks readily apparent. "I know you worry about Eve with her, darling, but trust me; little Eve could not be in safer hands." You watch Maki approach Anna, the blushing girl's gaze still pointed down. "Yes ma’am." Anna squeaks, then gasps when Maki’s fingers grip her cheeks, turning her gaze to meet Maki’s. "You look at the ground so much, sweet girl. Am I ugly?" Anna’s blush deepens as her eyes flicker to you, then Maki. "N-no ma’am." She stutters. Maki’s hands slide down Anna’s neck to rest on her shoulders. "Good. I need you to look at me if you want a kiss, you sexy thing." You see Maki grin as she rises onto her toes to give Anna a soft kiss. You see Anna tense, eyes widening in surprise. You can’t help but smile when she squeaks. Maki flashes her white teeth as she draws back, smiling from ear to ear. "Mmmm. You are tasty. Was that unpleasant?" Maki’s voice drops, becoming low and sultry as she looks into Anna’s <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes. "No ma’am." Anna’s voice is barely above a whisper as she looks down at the smaller asian woman. "Good. Would you like me to do it again?" "I-if you wish, ma’am." Anna stutters again, hands still folded before her. "Oh, I do, you sweet girl." Maki’s hands touch the back of Anna’s neck and head, pulling her down into a passionate kiss. You hear the smaller woman moan against the taller <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl, her lips moving voraciously. You are amazed when Anna begins to press back against Maki, her eyes closing as her hands fall to her side. You’re surprised when Anna starts to move closer to you, small steps that lead her and Maki closer to the bed. She stops, her pale hand reaching shakily towards you. Concerned, you grasp it gently, letting her fingers intertwine with yours. Anna visibly relaxes at your touch, pressing harder against the smaller woman. A soft moan escapes her lips as you see Maki’s tongue withdraws from the pale girls mouth. "You like kissing, don’t you Anna?" Maki whispers, one hand caressing Anna’s cheek. "Yes ma’am." You note Anna’s voice is huskier than before, her breath quickening as Maki’s fingers dance over her shoulder. "Who was your first kiss, sweet girl? Was it the old bastard?" Maki’s lips brush against Anna’s neck, sending a shiver down her you can feel through her fingers. "N-no ma’am..." Anna gasps when you see Maki’s tongue run over her neck. "Good. He stole enough from you. Was it <<print $player.firstName>>?" Maki’s eyes flicker towards you, a devilish glint in them as she bites gently at Anna’s collarbone. "Y-yes...." Anna moans softly, arching her neck. "Mmmmm. Did he order you to kiss him?" Maki looks at your hand intertwined with Anna’s as she nips gently at Anna’s shoulder, one hand slipping the straps of Anna’s dress down. "No. H-he..." Anna blushes fiercely as she looks over to you, adoration in her gaze. "He was tender and gentle." You smile at the memory, bringing her hand to your lips for a gentle kiss. "Aww, you two are so sweet... like candy." Maki pulls Anna into another voracious liplock, standing on her toes once more as her hands pull the straps down. Anna releases your hand briefly, letting the dress drop around her waist and revealing her plain white bra with a soft gasp. Maki pulls away, her fingers brushing down Anna’s arms to her hips as she stares at Anna’s chest with a sultry smile. "You would look so sexy in proper lingerie, sweet girl. Something black and lacy....or red. Red would look amazing on you." Maki bites her lip with a naughty smile. "I’ve been picturing you in a slinky black dress since dinner. I’m sure <<print $player.firstName>> wouldn’t mind." //Or something kinkier....// "I would not." You agree with Maki, making Anna blush deeply. "Thank you, ma’am." Anna murmurs, then squeaks as Maki pushes her towards the bed with another ravishing kiss. You watch Anna gasp when her legs hit the edge of the bed, sitting abruptly. You shift behind her, putting your hands on her shoulders to reassure her as you see her tense up. Maki pulls back, looking down at Anna now with a wolfish smile as she leans down until her lips meet Anna’s neck. You can’t help but see Maki’s cleavage under the robe, her ample chest clearly naked underneath the silky red cloth. "Sorry <<print $player.firstName>>. I’ve not forgotten about you, but I simply must have this intoxicating beauty first... a tantalizing appetizer...." Maki smiles as Anna reaches up to her shoulders, her hands covering yours. You watch Maki’s slender fingers play across Anna’s back before deftly unclasping her white bra. Anna gasps as Maki tosses it aside, her cheeks a deep red. You can only describe the look on Maki’s face as she stares at Anna’s exposed breasts as hungry, her tongue running over her lips. "Glorious." Maki runs her fingers over Anna’s <<print $anna.skinTone>> breasts, causing the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl’s breath to quicken as she watches in anticipation. You kiss the top of Anna’s head as you feel her lean back against you. //It’s like she has to always be touching me....// You watch as Maki opens her mouth, her eyes locked with Anna's, and envelopes one of her pert nipples with a sultry moan. You feel Anna arch as she gasps, biting her bottom lip. Little moans start to come from Anna as Maki alternated between swirling the pink bud and tugging it gently with her teeth, her slender fingers pinching and gently twisting the other. With a wet sucking sound Maki pops the nipple from her mouth, licking her lips seductively as her other hand took its place. "Mmmm, sweet girl, does <<print $player.firstName>> play with these? Do you like it when he does?" Her voice is low and sultry, a naughty smile on her face. Maki pulls Anna’s nipples a little harder, eliciting a sharp gasp of pleasure from the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl. "Y-yes...." Anna murmurs, transfixed by Maki’s hands as they grasp her soft globes and squeeze. "Mmmm, another thing <<print $player.firstName>> and I share. I could play with these for hours...." She pulls the pale orbs up and gives each pink nipple a voracious kiss and suckling, leaving them glistening with saliva as Anna squeaks. Maki ran her tongue up Anna’s chin to her soft lips, where Anna opens her mouth and welcomes it with her own as Maki pressed forward. She broke the kiss after a moment, moving to nibble gently at Anna’s earlobe. "But I feel there is a sweeter treat for me...." She whispered hotly in Anna’s ear. //This girl loves to talk....// You watch Maki trail kisses between Anna’s breasts before moving to her taut stomach, eyes never leaving Anna’s like a snake charmer and its pet. Maki knelt down, her fingers gently pulling Anna’s dress past her ankles and leaving only a pair of white panties on her pale body. "Such plain dressings for a sweet girl. I simply must take you for an afternoon at a lingerie store. We could put on such a show for dear <<print $player.firstName>>." She grins naughtily up at you with a wink. //I like the sound of that....// You watch as Maki runs her tongue along Anna’s inner thigh, sending visible shivers through her. Her slender fingers press against the fabric, eliciting a moan from Anna before she begins pulling that down, licking her lips as she stares at Anna’s pussy with unadulterated lust. "Mmmm. I think a taste is in order...." She murmurs, tossing the panties aside before diving tongue first into Anna’s crotch, her hands spreading her folds. You feel Anna twitch against you as she gasps, her grip on your hand tightening as Maki continues her oral ministrations. She leans her head backwards, pressing against your shoulder as she begins to mewl. "O-oh... <<print $player.firstName>>...." She stutters, turning her head towards yours with a pant. You capture her lips in a kiss as she moans, moving your arms to wrap around her as Anna’s hips begin to twitch. You feel her tongue run against your lips before seeking yours, your fingers pinching her pert nipples lightly. "You are as delicious as I imagined, sweet girl." You hear Maki murmur. Whatever she does you feel Anna buck against you, breaking your kiss as she cries out. "I’m-I’m...!" She gasps, her hips pressing harder against Maki’s lips. You hear Anna whimper for a long moment before she slumps back against you, breathing raggedly. You watch Maki rise, her lips and face glistening with clear fluid as she gives Anna another kiss. "Sweet girl, you’ve made a mess." Maki smiles naughtily, running her tongue over her lips. "Best clean it up, I believe?" She runs her tongue along Anna’s upper lip slowly, the taller <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>>’s tongue peeking out to catch it in another embrace before Anna leans forward, lapping gently at Maki’s messy face. Maki moans pleasantly when Anna finishes, giving Anna’s bottom lip a gentle nip as she leans back against you. The olive skinned woman stands, looking past Anna at you. "I think it’s about time we give poor <<print $player.firstName>> some attention, Anna." You feel like your erection is about ready to split your pants open. Maki undoes the sash around her robe and lets it fall to the floor, revealing her ample bosom to you and Anna with perky brown nipples adorning them. You notice a lack of pubic hair, but you definitely see her netherlips glistening in arousal. "Whatever shall we do, sweet Anna?" [[Oral tag team.|Meeting Maki 5ba]] [[Take Maki.|Meeting Maki 5bb]] [[Take Anna.|Meeting Maki 5bc]] By LFNPark

"Let’s see what we have, darling." Maki looks straight at you, crawling onto the bed. She playfully pushes you onto your back before giving you a kiss. You feel her tongue move sensually and slowly against yours compared to Anna’s, and you reciprocate as your hands run over her silky back. You hear her moan against you before sitting up with a smile. You rest your hands on Maki’s shapely hips. "Oh Anna. He is a good kisser! Some improvement can be had, but definitely a natural." She smiles, glancing over to Anna. The <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl is watching you with a strange look in her eyes; you’re unsure if it’s jealousy or envy. "I haven’t even started." You smile. "Perhaps. Come here, Anna." Anna shifts, crawling next to Maki and kneel beside her dutifully. "We are going to blow <<print $player.firstName>>’s mind, darling." Maki smiles as she drags her fingers down your chest, stopping at the belt in your pants. "Yes ma’am." Anna’s tone is quiet as she watches Maki’s fingers undo your belt. Quick movements pull your pants off, revealing your aching and rock hard erection to both girls. "Respectable, darling, but as with everything it is execution, not the tool, that is important." Maki smiles, sliding down until her face was mere inches from your swollen head. "Anna, dear, kiss <<print $player.firstName>>." You groan as Maki runs her tongue along the underside of your cock, but your view is blocked as Anna urgently kisses your lips, her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair falling around your face as her lips move against yours. You feel your hips twitch as Maki continues her oral ministrations and Anna continues making out with you. You feel her press her chest against yours, her hands caressing your cheeks, her lips soft and supple against yours. You are nearly overwhelmed as the girls continue, the double assault driving you closer to release especially when you feel your cock being assaulted by Maki’s tongue and mouth. "Oh man...." You break the kiss with Anna as you gasp, your hands gripping her shoulders. Maki laughs against your cock, sending another shiver down you as she removes herself from it with a wet slap. "Come here, darling." You watch Maki grasp Anna’s shoulder, gently pulling her down to your crotch with a naughty smile. Anna blushes when Maki gives her a wet kiss. "I want to see your sweet lips take your master’s cock, Anna, and don’t you swallow. I want a taste." "Yes ma’am." Anna locks her eyes to yours as she engulfs your cock, Maki shifting further down to watch her. You groan as you feel the back of Anna’s throat, then inhale sharply when you feel Maki’s lips encompass one of your testicles. "Anna... I’m--" Your hips jerk as you start to climax. You see Maki smile as Anna withdraws until only your swollen head is in her mouth. You groan as her cheeks begin to bulge, a thin white trail creeping from the corner of her mouth. "Well done, sweet girl." Maki murmurs as Anna releases your slick cock and turns to the smaller girl. Maki immediately presses her lips against Anna, her tongue pressing through her lips. You watch them exchange your seed in a passionate kiss before separating, thin strands connecting their lips for a moment before they swallow. "A good start." Maki smiles widely once more, looking at you with a hungry expression. [[Take Maki.|Meeting Maki 5bb]] [[Take Anna.|Meeting Maki 5bc]] By LFNPark

You watch as Maki caresses Anna’s cheeks, giving her a ravishing kiss that causes Anna to moan against her. The olive skinned woman wraps her arms around Anna’s waist, pressing her larger chest against Anna’s which transfixes your gaze as they mash together. "Do you like my breasts, Anna?" Maki whispers, her hazel eyes staring into her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs. You see Anna blush and begin to stutter. "I-I... I’m not-I guess?" Anna stammers nervously. Maki laughs, grasping Anna’s hands in hers. "You are adorable when flustered, sweet girl. Why don’t you play with them and find out?" She pushes the taller girl back onto the bed. Anna squeaks in surprise as Maki looms over her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> head with her pendulous breasts. "Good girl." Maki chuckles, licking her lips as Anna begins squeezing her olive mounds. You sit up, watching Anna pinch Maki’s pert nipples before flicking her tongue over one. You catch Maki’s eyes as she looks at you, her eyes smoldering at you. "Fuck me." Maki moans as Anna begins biting gently at one of her nipples. //Don’t have to ask me twice...// You position yourself behind Maki as she arches her back, parting her netherlips in invitation. You grip her shapely hips and rub your erection against her slit before thrusting into her with a soft moan. Maki gasps, closing her eyes as Anna continues to suckle on one of her breasts. You savor her tight grip before you begin a rhythm of long, deep strokes as her inner muscles seem to clench you. "Harder, <<print $player.firstName>>." She moans, and you redouble your speed, watching her flesh ripple with each thrust. Her gasps increase in frequency as your hear the wet sounds of Anna’s lips. "A-Anna.... Come here...." Maki moans. You see Anna slide from underneath Maki to sit in front of her. "Spread your l-legs, darling." You watch Anna blush, but she dutifully leans back, spreading her pale legs. Immediately you watch Maki’s head dive down and Anna’s body arch, a cry coming from her lips. You grunt as you thrust harder, the sight of Anna twitching under Maki’s ministrations invigorating you. You see Anna shudder and squeak, her body tensing as Maki emits a long moan against her. Maki’s walls suddenly clamp down hard as you feel her tense, followed by a long groan as her hips twitch and spasm. You thrust harder for another few moments as you feel your release, erupting within Maki’s silken depths with a long grunt. You sigh when Maki crawls away from you, your member sliding out of her with ease. You watch her lay next to the heaving Anna, her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes fixed to Maki’s glistening face. "You are such a messy girl. You know what to do." You watch Maki give Anna a quick kiss before Anna beings licking Maki’s face clean with slow, deliberate movements. Once finished, Maki lays on her back, one hand intertwined gently in Anna’s hair. "One more mess for you, dear." Maki spreads her legs, and you watch your combined juices run down the olive skin of her ass. "Yes ma’am." You shift next to Maki as Anna crawls between her legs, one of Maki’s hands spreading her lips for the pale girl as her tongue once again begins licking the juices from her flesh. You take this moment to grasp Maki’s large breasts, giving them a squeeze that makes the smaller girl moan. "Oh. Strong hands and a sexy tongue. You both spoil a girl." Maki murmurs, stretching her arms over her head. You grasp her nipples and give them a hard pinch, causing the smaller woman to moan as she runs her hands through her aquamarine hair. You feel her gasp as you look down to Anna, whose tongue you can see diving into Maki’s hole that you’d just finished ravaging. "Mmmm. You like the taste, Anna? Your master’s seed and mine?" Maki lowers one hand to Anna’s head gently, running it through her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> locks as you take one of her nipples in your mouth. However Anna answers, Maki lets slip a large moan as her hips arch off the bed as she presses the taller girl's face harder into her slit. "Yes, sweet girl!" Maki cries out, and you watch as clear fluid covers Anna’s lips and face. She squeaks as Maki’s grip on her hair tightens in her climax. You remove your hands as Maki pulls Anna’s face to hers, her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs half lidded as Maki looks at her messy face. "Mmmm, you look sexy like this, sweet girl." Maki murmurs as she runs her fingers over Anna’s face, smearing her cum over her cheeks until she glistens. "Let me clean up my mess." You watch Anna’s face shiver as Maki takes slow, deliberate licks, her tongue flexing and curling around her soft cheeks and chin. Maki smiles when she finishes, pressing her glistening fingers against Anna’s lips. Instinctively Anna moans, suckling gently and running her tongue over them. Maki coos in delight, giving you a nod as Anna finishes. "Thank you, ma’am." [[Take Anna.|Meeting Maki 5bc]] [[Maki's surprise.|Meeting Maki 5bd]] By LFNPark

You watch Maki sit up, pulling Anna with her into a ravenous kiss, entangling her fingers in Anna’s <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> locks. She tugs firmly, breaking their liplock with a moan as Anna stares at the smaller woman, her chest heaving. Maki stares into her with smoldering hazel eyes, licking her lips slowly. "Sweet girl, do you know what I want now?" You watch Maki run her tongue over Anna’s lips, keeping Anna from kissing her with another firm tug of her hair. You hear Anna moan lightly, eyes half open. "I want to see you fucked by your master. Do you like it?" You watch Maki tease Anna with soft kisses to her face. "Do you like it when he drives that hard cock into your tight hole?" You can feel your loins stirring again as Maki continues her filthy words. "I-I...." Anna stutters, blushing at Maki’s language. Maki pulls harder at her hair, arching the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girls head to expose her neck to gentle nips and bites. "You can be honest, sweet girl. Do you want it? That rock hard dick inside you? Pounding you? Stretching you?" Maki whispers silkily into Anna’s ear before biting it gently. You see Anna blush furiously, her eyes looking past Maki straight to you. "Y-yes." She says finally, looking down at the bed in crimson embarrassment. "Good girl. You want <<print $player.firstName>>?" You hear the taller girl gasp when one of Maki’s hands runs over Anna’s clitoris to her nether lips, pressing hard against them. "Yes!" She gasps suddenly, leaning back against the bed on her arms. "What do you want him to do?" Maki releases Anna’s hair, biting one of her pink nipples. "T-take me... please." Anna moans as the olive skinned girl's fingers rub circles against her pussy. "Take you? Darling, that’s not very descriptive...." Maki glances back at you with a naughty smile. You can’t help but stroke your returning erection as you watch the two girls. "I-I... want <<print $player.firstName>>...." Anna moans, then gasps when Maki slips a finger inside of her. "Come on, sweet girl. You know what to say...." Maki flicks her tongue against Anna’s nipple as you see her move her finger around. Anna begins to writhe against Maki’s hand, moaning lewdly. "I-I want him t-to put it i-in me... a-and ravish me." Anna gasps, blushing furiously. Maki laughs against Anna’s breast, pulling away with a wet sound. "Darling, your sexy talk could use work, but I’ll go easy on you this time." Maki murmurs, pushing Anna onto her back. She looks at you with a naughty grin, spreading Anna’s legs in invitation. "Don’t keep the poor girl waiting, <<print $player.firstName>>." You need no encouragement. You grasp Anna’s hips as she squeaks in surprise, then cries out when you push inside her sweltering, wet folds in one thrust. You slide your hands to her pale thighs as you start with long, deep strokes that make Anna moan with every thrust. "Y-yesss...." Anna groans, then squeals when Maki grasps her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair again, pulling her into another wet kiss before breaking it, looking down the valley of Anna’s bouncing breasts at you. "You see your master’s hard cock pounding your sweet lips? It’s so hot, so hard inside you, isn’t it? Filling you, stretching you, molding you around him.... This is what you wanted, isn’t it?" Maki whispers, lifting Anna’s head slightly to match her view of your cock going in and out of the pale girl. "I... I..." Anna moans, blushing fiercely, her eyes locking to yours with a mix of helplessness and adoration. Maki grasps one of Anna’s hard nipples, giving it a sudden tweak that causes Anna to buck against you, her back arching. You feel her walls tighten as she shudders, drenching your member as an orgasm hits her. "Cumming already, sweet girl? I have that effect on people... is it me whispering dirty things in your ears? Is it the hard cock in your sweet body? Maybe both.... Let’s see how much it takes to loosen your lips." You watch Maki release Anna’s hair, pressing her fingers against her lips as the hand on her breasts drift downward. Anna parts her lips with an urgent moan, taking Maki’s slim fingers in and running her tongue along them as Maki cooes in delight. You start speeding up your thrusts, gripping Anna’s thighs against you as she crosses her Ankles behind your back. "What a natural you are, Anna." Maki whispers, then brushes her fingers over Anna’s sensitive nub, causing her to shiver and moan again. You watch her start rubbing it, the reaction almost immediate. Anna cries out, writhing as Maki’s fingers slide from her mouth to one of Anna’s breasts, squeezing and playing with it as Anna grips the bed sheets tightly. "I feel you cumming again, girl.... It feels so good, doesn’t it?" She murmurs. "Y-Yess! So... goood...!" Anna’s eyes roll back as her mouth hangs open. "Say it. Say how much you love getting fucked by your master.... I’ll make you cum like never before, sweet girl. Say it." Maki’s voice is husky, transfixed by this writhing beauty as you are. "I-I... love it!" Anna moans, stuttering with each of your increasingly harder thrusts. "I-I... love it... w-when he t-takes me... r-ravishes me. M-makes me feel... like a w-woman... not a t-toy." She throws her head back as another series of orgasms rips through her, drenching Maki’s hand. "Good girl." You feel Maki’s finger press against your cock, and you groan as you feel your release coming. You watch Anna’s face light up as Maki’s finger pushes its way inside her alongside your cock, its added friction exciting your further. You feel it slip in up to her knuckle, and curl upwards. Anna lets out a loud cry as her entire body arches, the top of her head and her arms the only parts of her touching the bed. Her legs clutch to you tightly, almost hurting you as her inner walls tighten. Her mouth hangs open as she cries out wordlessly, drenching your crotch and Maki’s hand as you thrust one final time, her tightness and Maki’s finger driving you to release. Maki leans back with a satisfied smile, removing her finger from Anna and idly licking her fingers. Anna drops back down to the bed after a moment, panting hard. You fall next to her, trying to catch your breath. "Mmmmm. Very nice." Maki murmurs. Anna just curls against you with a dreamy sigh, pressing her head against your arm. "That was intense...." You say after a moment. Anna moans in response, her hand resting against your chest. "Oh, we’re not done yet, darlings." [[Take Maki.|Meeting Maki 5bb]] [[Maki's surprise.|Meeting Maki 5bd]] By LFNPark

"Anna dear, entertain <<print $player.firstName>> for a moment." Maki murmurs, giving the pale girl a kiss to her cheek as she slides off the bed. Anna crawls onto your lap, her hands running over your chest as she peppers your face with kisses. You press your hands against her breasts, giving them gentle squeezes as you knead them. Anna moans against you, unconsciously grinding her messy crotch against your stomach. "You’re doing great, Anna." You murmur into her ear as you run your lips over her neck. "Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>..." She moans. You two continue making out, hands roaming over each other until you hear Anna gasp. You see Maki’s hands on Anna’s shoulders, biting gently at her neck. "<<print $player.firstName>>, dear, let me borrow this girl for a moment." You see Anna look at you, eyes fearful for a second. "I’m right here, Anna." You take her hand in yours, kissing it gently. You see her fear subside as she tightens her grip, but nods slowly. You watch Anna shift, then gasp alongside her as you look at Maki. In her hand you see a rubbery length, shaped and colored in flesh tones and at least 12" long. Its surface has little bumps covering it of various sizes. Her other hand has a bottle of amber liquid, which she sets on the bed . //Huh. At least it looks normal sized....// "I’ve tasted you, sweet girl, now I //want// you." Maki’s tone is seductive as she slowly inserts one end into her pussy, maintaining eye contact with Anna. She stops when half of it juts from her, standing before Anna at the edge of the bed. "Lay back, darling." Maki whispers, the rubber phallus pointing upward at Anna. You watch Anna reluctantly lean back, her hand still clutching yours as she stares at the phallus between Maki’s legs. Maki grips the pale girls knees, spreading them as she rubs her fake cock against her messy lips before pushing into her slowly. Both girls let out a moan as Maki pushes until her mound is against Anna’s, who squeaks and runs her hand against her stomach. "Mmmmm. Such a sexy girl...." Maki starts a rhythm of long, deep strokes that shakes Anna’s breasts, causing her to gasp on each thrust "So... rigid...." Anna moans, bringing your hand to her lips. Maki moans, her breasts rolling as she increases the strength of the thrusts, one hand brushing over Anna’s crotch to her sensitive nub. The room fills with the sound of slapping flesh as Maki increases the tempo, grunting with effort. You watch Anna shakes and shudder as she moans lewdly. You see the phallus glisten with juices as Anna trembles with orgasms over the next few moments. "Mmm, time for a change!" Maki grasps Anna’s leg, turning the pale girl onto her side as she continues thrusting. Anna drapes her leg over the olive woman’s shoulder, squeaking in surprise as she looks down at the phallus plunging into her. "<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...." Anna moans, looking up at you. "K-kiss me... please...." You lean down, engulfing Anna’s lips with your own. She urgently presses her tongue into your mouth, whimpering with need as her body shakes again. One hand continues to clench yours as you run your tongue over hers in an urgent dance, feeling your erection start to stir once more. "It-it’s good.... I f-feel good...." Anna moans suddenly, breaking her kiss to pant and tremble as her body shivers in orgasm again. You watch as Anna gasps when Maki turns her again, falling onto her hands and knees before she can even come down from her bliss. Maki grips her hips to thrust even harder, her face a mask of ecstasy. "Cumming...! I... can’t stop...." Anna groans, her head touching the sheets as her ass raises, moving back against Maki as her flesh ripples with each impact. Maki stops suddenly, buried inside Anna with a wicked grin. "You... are good, sweet girl. I simply must have more." Maki whispers, reaching for the bottle of amber liquid. Anna is distracted, panting and whimpering as one hand runs along her stomach, as Maki dips her fingers in it before setting it aside. Anna groans when Maki starts to massage Anna’s ass cheeks, coating them in the glistening fluid and filling the air with the scent of sweet oil. //Is that lube?// Your question is answered When Maki runs her fingers over Anna’s puckered asshole, eliciting a gasp from Anna. Her hand frantically reaches for yours and you take it quickly, giving it a gentle squeeze as Maki slips a single glistening finger past Anna’s sphincter. "Oh... <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...." Anna moans, looking up at you with wide eyes. She gasps as Maki moves it around in a small circle before withdrawing, only to press two glistening fingers back inside. "Just some preparations, sweet girl." Maki giggles, twisting her fingers around. Anna gasps, clenching at the bed sheets. The pale girl moans as Maki pulls her hips back, withdrawing from Anna’s gaping pussy. You and Anna watch as she pours some oil on the already glistening phallus, stroking it as if it were a real cock with her eyes locked to Anna’s. The <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl's grip on your hand intensifies as Maki presses the phallus against Anna’s sphincter, her mouth hanging open in a silent cry. After a long moment you hear Anna moan as the phallus’ head pushes into her depths. "O-oh... <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>..." Anna pants. "Oh sweet girl, you are doing so well...." Maki cooes, spreading Anna’s cheeks with her hands to see the phallus slowly sink in until her hips contact Anna’s. Maki leans over, pressing her mounds against Anna’s back. She grips Anna’s breasts, giving them a hard squeeze as she plants wet kisses on Anna’s shoulder blades. "You are so sexy, sweet girl." Maki murmurs, leaning back up. Anna moans as Maki begins a slow rhythm, withdrawing almost completely before pushing back in. "<<print $player.firstName>>, there is a vacancy if she wishes." Maki chuckles, playfully slapping Anna’s left ass cheek. Anna groans, looking up at you with wide eyes. "What do you want, Anna?" You ask her, brushing a hand across her sweaty chin. Anna looks at you, eyes glazed in lust as she bites her bottom lip. "I-I...." She moans again, biting into the sheet momentarily. "W-want you...." You watch her push herself up, her breasts dangling as one hand reaches for you. You shift and slide underneath the pale girl, her arms wobbling with every one of Maki’s thrusts. You feel her breasts press against your chest as she smiles down adoringly at you. Anna groans as Maki’s thrust start increasing in speed, mashing her lips against yours hungrily as one hand grips and intertwines with yours. "Take her, darling. She wants it. She wants to be filled." Maki chuckles again, giving Anna another slap on her ass that causes her to squeak against you. You feel Anna’s hips lower and you run your returned erection against her slit. Anna looks into your eyes as you press into her, her hips lowering in the same motion with a groan. Her eyes widen, strangled gasps coming from her throat as you fill her completely. You can feel Maki’s rubber phallus rub against you with each thrust, exciting you as you fill Anna. "You okay, Anna?" You whisper gently, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She squeals in response, pressing her forehead against yours as Maki continues. Anna’s breasts rub against you on each thrust, her mouth hanging open. "S-so full... I’m so full...." She murmurs hotly, shuddering as she tightens around you. She drenches you as she orgasms, her eyes rolling back as a long moan comes from her. "Positively stuffed, darling." Maki laughs, redoubling her thrusts. You moan and start moving, thrusting into Anna with slow strokes at first. She whines, her head dropping against your shoulder as she loses herself between you and Maki. "I’m cum-cumming. God, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, can’t s-stop c-cumming... you’re d-driving me c-crazy...." Her words are fast and high pitched against your ear, stuttering as she is thrust against you. You can hear the wet slaps of flesh as Anna is rocked by more orgasms. You feel your own release at hand as you feel the bumps on Maki’s phallus through Anna’s thin membrane combined with her tight embrace. You groan as you release inside her, thrusting hard as you hold her tightly. You hear her whimpers, burying her face in your chest before crying out. Maki continues thrusting for a few more strokes before collapsing atop Anna’s back, panting heavily. You tilt your head, looking at the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl panting against you. You swear you see drool coming from the corner of her mouth, but then again it could be some other bodily fluid that splashed upward from all the thrusting. Maki rolls off of Anna, the rubber phallus popping out of Anna with a wet sound. "This is going to be a good night, darlings." She grins wickedly. Anna looks up at you with glazed eyes before turning to Maki, her head never leaving your chest. [[The night goes on.|Meeting Maki 5be]] By LFNPark

You lose track of the night amidst pale and olive flesh. Orgasm after orgasm the girls seem to coax you back, whether playing with each other as you rest or pressing against you with soft skin, full lips, and hot tongues. You feel the end coming as you see Anna, now wearing the double ended dildo, thrusting into Maki’s ass as you take her pussy, her legs hooked over your arms as you and Anna are on your knees on the bed. Both girls glisten with sweat and other bodily fluids, though you know you probably look similar. You can tell Maki is tiring as she has stopped talking, reduced to deep moans and lewd gasps, and Anna’s chest heaves as the smaller girl bounces between you and her. You thrust into Maki’s wet tunnel a final time with a lewd slap, groaning as you fill her once again. She shudders as Anna cries out, collapsing against her olive back as the dildo slips from Maki’s gaping ass. You three collapse onto the bed, breathing heavily. You feel Anna crawl alongside, gasping for breath as she curls against you with her head dropping against your chest with a thud. You curl an arm around her as you feel your consciousness fade. When you finally stir, you can feel the stiffness of your muscles and the grimy sensation on your skin. You can also smell the stench of body odor and dried fluids, but you can ignore that as you stare at the still slumbering form of Anna, her hair now matted and stuck to parts of her pale skin, dried fluids a reminder of your escapades last night. Her head is still pressed against your chest, and you can feel the rubbery phallus against you. You peer down and see it still protruding from Anna’s nether region, pressing against your side. You don’t see Maki anywhere, but are distracted when you hear a sigh come from Anna, her arms wrapping tighter around you as she unconsciously drapes a leg over yours. Unfortunately, you now feel the false phallus against your stomach. //That’s kind of awkward....// You lean your head back against the pillow, contemplating a return to slumber when your door opens. You blink away the blurriness of waking up to see the olive-skinned face of Maki smiling widely as she sashays in, her silky red robe billowing around her. Unlike you and Anna, her skin is pristine and hair freshly washed. You detect no limp or sign of last nights excursions in her movements. "Mmmmm. I //love// that smell!" She murmurs, inhaling deeply. You remember that you’re still naked and try to cover yourself in reflex. Your muscles refuse to move as quickly as you’d like, and your movements cause Anna to begin to stir. "<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...?" She murmurs, her eyes slowly opening as she raises her head from your chest. Her hair sticks to your chest as she unwraps herself from around you. She gasps when she sees the flesh colored phallus jutting from her crotch and quickly pulls it out with a surprising moan. Anna sets it gently on the bed as she blushes furiously, clutching the covers around her to hide her gaping pussy. "Oh darlings, please." Maki laughs, folding her arms. "After last night I am intimately aware of your naked forms, inside //and// out. I bet you are sore and stiff, yes? Ah, I remember my first menage a trois... so much more awkward and uncomfortable compared to last night, but I still woke up stiff as a board." She sighs, sitting on the bed. You see her pick up the phallus and tuck it into her robe’s pocket. "I would’ve retrieved that when I woke up, but it was... indisposed at the time." You see Maki smile naughtily at Anna, whose blush intensifies. Anna gives you a dirty look when you start to chuckle hoarsely, then simply clear your throat. "Anyway, I came to let you know that Bubbles and Eve are preparing breakfast as we speak, I hope you don’t mind? I know Anna is the chef, but I feared she might be a little tired." Maki’s tone is apologetic, and you see Anna avert her gaze. "That’s fine." You cough, your throat surprisingly dry. "Thank you, ma’am." Anna’s tone is meek and hoarse as well "Excellent, darlings! I advise cleaning up. We don’t want young Eve to get curious, do we?" She chuckles, turning on her heel. She stops at the doorway, looking back at you both with a naughty grin as she blows you and Anna a kiss. You look over at Anna, still blushing and clutching the covers against her naked body. "I guess we’d better shower.." You cough, swinging your legs over the edge of the bed. Anna remains silent, simply nodding as her blush starts to fade. You try to get up and have to fight your legs to get to a standing position. You see Anna shift in the bed, similarly struggling to rise. You can see her legs wobble as she starts to collect her clothing, clutching them to her chest. You brush your fingers against her shoulder when she gets close and pull her into an embrace. You see her blush, but Anna rests her head against your shoulder. "Are you okay?" You ask her softly, kissing her forehead. "I’m very sore...." She murmurs, turning her gaze to yours with an adoring smile. "But I’ll be okay." "Do you regret last night?" You find your voice softer than you wanted, your hand caressing her chin. "I...." She trails off as her face scrunches up, searching for the right words. "It was--I didn’t hate it. It was better than I thought it would be." You feel Anna tremble for a moment, her eyes turning downward. "T-the last time was with your uncle and...." She stutters as she trembles. "It wasn’t-I... there were so many things in me... I thought I was going to get torn apart." Anna presses her cheek against your shoulder, her eyes closed tightly. "And last night?" You wrap your arms around her and are pleased when you feel her reciprocate, her breasts pressing against you as her arms curl around your waist. "You being there.... It was so different. So much //better//. I felt loved. I felt...." You see her blush as she pulls back, searching your eyes behind matted strands of <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair. "I felt //worshipped// by you and Miss Morichi. It was-I...." You can see in her eyes she’s still trying to find the right words. "I felt worthy. I-I don’t know if that makes sense-" You silence her with a soft kiss. She moans lightly, relaxing against you as you pull back. "I understand, Anna. Do you want to shower with me?" You see her cheeks blush, but she shakes her head gently. "I’m afraid if we do, we might miss breakfast. I’ll use one of the guest showers." She gives you a kiss on your cheek. "I’ll see you in the dining room then, okay?" She nods and you watch her stiffly walk to the door, a huge grin on your face. Anna stops for a moment, looking over her bare shoulders to give you a small smile before leaving quickly.

- The notes said that the first part of Maki 5 should be the middle relationship. I chose lte 825 since that's the check made in Meeting Maki 4. - Replaced a lot of instances of "blonde" with the code for Anna's hair colour. I'm not sure that descriptions other than blonde will make sense though. There are a lot of instances of this. Might need to rewrite them. It might be worth talking to LFN Park about this. It is something they do often and isn't going to work for different hair colours very well. "The blonde girl" makes sense but "the red girl" doesn't unless we change "blonde" to "red headed" or something. Then if we've accounted for that in the text by saying "[hair colour] haired girl" we could end up with "red haired haired girl." - Code needs to be added at around line 320 and 769 to go to the next scene. - Height reference in 359 that I'm not sure how to tackle. I assume in the future we'll be able to adjust Anna's height and she might be the same size or shorter than Maki.

<<if $anna.meal is 1>> You run a hand through your damp hair as you enter the dining room. You see Bubbles and Eve standing next to the table, Eve beaming proudly as Bubbles stands as stoic as ever. On the table you see three platters, each with some sort of sandwiches stacked neatly together. Next to them is a plate of bacon and pitchers of water and orange juice. You see the sandwiches have egg between the slices, held together with gooey cheese. You see a plate on the table already filled, overflowing with cheese and eggs with two pieces of toast laying on the edge. "Whose is that one?" You ask, pointing to the filled plate. "That’s Eves." You jump inwardly when Bubbles answers, her single blue eye staring down at you as Eve giggles. You turn when you hear a familiar chuckle and are pleased to see Maki strolling into the Dining Room. You note she’s changed from the red bathrobe to a simple blue blouse. "Ah, what a scrumptious looking meal!" Maki rubs her hands together and turns as Anna walks in, adjusting her dress. You can tell she was in a hurry; her long <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair is still damp and you can see an embarrassed blush in her cheeks. You watch her stand next to Eve, a slight limp in her step that makes you smile as memories of last night wash over you. Maki gives you a playful smirk, raising an eyebrow suggestively before taking a seat at the table. "Anna! Look what Bubbles and I did!" Eve beams proudly as she sits in front of her plate. You watch Anna sit next to her sister, giving her an all too familiar stern glare. "Eve, I appreciate you and Miss Bubbles preparing breakfast, but that is entirely too much food. You’ll get a stomach ache." "I’ve eaten more." Bubbles voice cuts into Anna’s reproach, beginning to pass the platters around. "You’re much bigger than Eve. That’s not a fair comparison." Anna protests, averting her gaze from the caramel woman’s cyclopean stare. "Size is irrelevant. It’s for training." You see Anna blush as Eve smiles smugly. "I’m training!" You suppress a laugh as Eve says that, putting a sandwich on your plate. "Is there any difference in the sandwiches?" You ask. "Yes! There’s cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, and gouda!" Eve points to each platter in turn. You shrug and take one from the cheddar stack. "Oooo! I do love cheese." Maki grins, taking one from each stack. "I don’t know about you darlings, but I am //starving//." You see her give you a suggestive wink before beginning to eat. You look over at Anna, who blushes and give you a small smile before also eating. You take a bite and aren’t disappointed, but really you’re not overly impressed. You know Eve’s not as good as Anna at cooking and apparently Bubbles is fairly average as well. "Out of curiosity, what does Bubbles do besides fights?" "She’s very good at training others, and she’s a decent smithy! She’s also an excellent singer, but she’s very picky about who hears it." Maki smiles, running her fingers along Bubbles’ arm. "She sounds like an angel." Eve states, cheesy strands trailing from her mouth as Anna looks on disapprovingly, picking up her glass of milk. "Oh? You’ve heard her?" Maki turns to Eve, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "Last night before we slept together." //What the fuck!// You hear Anna make a gurgling sound, followed by harsh coughing as you almost choke on the egg in your mouth. You hastily grab the napkin next to your plate and cough into it as Maki simply grins broadly. Bubbles remains stoically silent, though you think there might be some darker colors in her cheeks. "Excuse me?" You croak, wiping your mouth. "She sang to me before we slept together." Eve looks at you curiously, then to Anna. You swear the older sisters eyes are wider than the plate her meal is on, and you watch as her mouth moves with no sound coming out. You hear Maki start to giggle. "Eve. I think we need clarification; what exactly did you do last night with Bubbles?" You stare intently at the confused girl. "Yes, Eve. Explain." You see Anna’s jaw clenched, a tremble in her shoulders and a twitch in her eye as she stares at the caramel amazon across the table. Bubbles, to your surprise, seems quite taken aback from Anna’s accusatory glare. "You guys are acting weird...." Eve mutters, shoving another forkful of gooey eggs into her mouth. She chews quickly before answering. "We were reading a book, then we started talking. I said she was pretty, and then she started singing. I started falling asleep so she carried me to bed and we slept together." You take a moment to analyze Eve’s words. "So... you two shared a bed and just slept...?" You say slowly. Eve rolls her eyes mid bite. "Yes." You hear Anna exhale loudly, visibly relaxing. You can’t help but feel some relief as well and take a drink from your glass. "It’s not like we were having crazy sex like you guys." You start coughing as you snort milk up your nose. You can hear Maki laughing uproariously over your distress as you clutch the napkin again, your drink dribbling out of your nostrils. You turn to Anna, who is blushing furiously while she hides her face behind her hands. "Oh my lord, Eve. I love you, you little minx!" Maki gasps between laughs.

"Eve, I appreciate you and Miss Bubbles preparing breakfast." Anna says, looking up at the taller woman. Bubbles nods down at Anna before turning forward, returning to her stoic statuesque stance. "Is there any difference in the sandwiches?" You ask. "Yes! There’s cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, and gouda!" Eve points to each platter in turn. You shrug and take one from the cheddar stack. "Oooo!

Eve mutters, looking at the women on either side of her before back to you. "We were reading a book, then we started talking. I said she was pretty, and then she started singing. I started falling asleep so she carried me to bed and we slept together." You take a moment to analyze Eve’s words. "So... you two shared a bed and just slept....?" You say slowly.

<<if $AnnaMakiThreesome>>You stand in the driveway as Bubbles retrieves the car. Maki stands beside you, a broad smile on her face as Anna and Eve are grabbing her bags. "I hope I meet your approval. I really like living." You say softly, smiling wryly. "Oh darling, don’t worry. Last night was quite enjoyable! I will say there are improvements to be had so don’t be getting cocky." Maki playfully pushes your shoulder. "I don’t think Anna is... comfortable enough for my full techniques. She would have been drooling on the floor in sheer bliss, darling, if she could take half of what I do with Bubbles or my other charges." //That’s an interesting mental image....// "Now, in that regard, if I could convince you to let me take her away for a few months... I could turn that sexy girl into a nympho goddess." Maki bites her lip as she catches Anna’s eye. The tall <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl blushes, focusing her attention on her smaller sister as she begins helping Bubbles load the car. "I don’t think Anna would like being away from Eve." "She can come along! Bubbles would be thrilled to take Eve to the beaches at Wanton Cove, or perhaps even train her at the gymnasium we have." Maki smiled brightly. "That’s what I need; Eve being able to fight like some sort of kickboxer. She would be unstoppable." You shudder at the mental image of Eve performing various kicks and flips. Maki tilts her head in thought for a moment. "Mmmm. Perhaps discretion is better served in that regard. Well, if I can’t convince you to let me borrow the girls, perhaps you’d allow me to come back and visit occasionally. My business takes me all over, and having a secondary place of respite with such entertaining distractions would be fantastic." You ruminate on this, watching as Eve clings to a bag Bubbles lifts over her head, laughing as her feet dangle. You smile as Anna starts chastising Eve. "I think that would be fine. Just let me know ahead of time." Maki smiles brightly, rubbing her hands together. "Most wonderful, darling! I look forward to it!" You watch Bubbles close up the trunk and stand dutifully next to the passenger door, her single eye looking toward Maki. "Well darling, before I go, a few things I’d like to say to you." Maki clasps your hands with hers, grinning broadly. //What a surprise....// "First, you’re a terrible Master." She shrugs idly as you stare. "You are a good man, but an awful traditional Master. That isn’t necessarily an insult, as most might consider me quite terrible in the traditional sense." She gives you a naughty smile. "Second, if you wish to fill up this rather empty estate, don’t hesitate to call me. Do so as far in advance as possible however; my charges fetch quite a price and go quickly." Maki puts a card into your pocket, which you resolve to look at later. "I’ll remember that." You nod. "Third, and this is very important; if you ever hurt these girls I //will// end you. //Intricately//." Maki’s tone is bright and bubbly as she gives you a kiss on the cheek. You smile awkwardly as the olive skinned woman strolls over to Anna, giving her a hug. You can’t help but smirk when one of Maki’s hands grips one of Anna’s asscheeks tightly, causing Anna’s eyes to shoot up as she blushes. You see Eve giggle when Maki gives her a hug, then dashes over to Bubbles to wrap her arms around the amazon’s waist. You watch the tall woman place a single hand on Eve’s <<print $eve.headHairColorDesc>> head, running her fingers through her hair for a few moments before Eve extricates herself from around the caramel woman. Maki gives you a big wave as Bubbles opens the passenger door. You jog to the gate to let your visitors out, giving them a wave as they drive away. After locking it up, you walk back to the steps to the mansion, Anna and Eve waiting for you. "They were nice!" Eve stated, looking up at you. You look at Anna, a slight crimson in her cheek as a small smile creeps onto her face. "They were pleasant." Anna says, giving you a nod. "Definitely interesting. I feel they’ll be swinging by again." You sigh, looking at the closed gate. You turn back to the girls with a smile. "Well, back to work, girls! Still have plenty of chores to do." You rub your hands together as the girls nod, retreating back inside. By LFNPark <<else>>You stand in the driveway as Bubbles retrieves the car. Maki stands beside you, a broad smile on her face as Anna and Eve are grabbing her bags. "I hope I meet your approval. I really like living." You say softly, smiling wryly. "Oh darling, don’t worry. Anna was quite convincing, and Bubbles absolutely adores Eve." Maki playfully pushes your shoulder. "Eve doesn’t strike me as one very good at lying. Also, considering the state of you both this morning, I highly doubt you’re abusive as Anna didn’t have a serious mark on her." "You paid an awful lot of attention...." You give her a curious look. "With her body? I would pay all the attention I could to it." You watch her give Anna a sidelong glance, licking her lips seductively. //No subtlety there....// "Now, in that regard, if I could convince you to let me take her away for a few months... I could turn that sexy girl into a nympho goddess." Maki bites her lip as Anna catches her looking at her.

You smile awkwardly as the olive skinned woman strolls over to Anna, giving her a hug. You see her lean into Anna’s ear, and the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girls face seems confused for a moment as Maki pulls away. You see Eve giggle when Maki gives her a hug, then dashes over to Bubbles to wrap her arms around the amazon’s waist.

Eve looks curiously at you. "Just Maki. She’s very...." You take a moment to find the right word to describe the woman who’d threatened your life while causing one of the best nights with Anna you’d ever had. "She’s very provocative." Anna finishes your sentence, looking down at Eve with a smile. "That’s a good word for it." You smile, then look back to the mansion. "Well, back to work, girls.

You peek into the room when you hear Anna's voice. You see Anna sitting on the bed, looking up at the caramel giantess known as Bubbles. You see several dresses laid out next to her, much too large for the blond girl and undoubtedly belonging to the fiery haired woman. Currently Bubbles is wearing a red one that stretches to her ankles, slits up the side revealing a stark contrast between her tanned legs and lighter, almost dark amber hips. "I like this one!" Anna nods. "It looks good on you, especially with your hair." "Thank you." Bubbles absently smooths out imaginary wrinkles down the front of the dress. Her blue orb swivels to you, and a blush touches her cheeks. "Oh!" Anna follows the giantess' gaze to you. "<<print $anna.callsPlayer>>! We were just trying on dresses. Well, Bubbles is." "I see that. It does look good." You nod in agreement. "Do you think Maki'll like it?" Bubbles voice is surprisingly quiet and nervous. "I think if you wore bra and panties to dinner, Maki would love it. I'm sure the dress will be fine," You assure her. Anna smiles in amusement as Bubbles nods. "Thank you, <<print $playerCalled>>." "No problem, Bubbles." You wave as you walk back down the hall. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park<<set $bubblesProposal to 2>><<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

You hear the pleasing tone of the piano fill the ballroom. You see the caramel giantess known as Bubbles sitting at it, her single eye closed as her fingers move across the pale ivory keys. You also see the tall form of Mitsuko standing near it, a soft smile on her face as she listens. Her head is tilted to one side, hands folded politely in front of her.

You lean against the doorway, taking a moment to enjoy the melody being played. You stay silent as Bubbles finishes, finally opening her blue eye to look at Mitsuko “That was very good.” Mitsuko bows slightly. “Thank you. Do you play?” Bubbles asks as she stands, looking down curiously at Mitsuko. “No. Well, not the piano.” Mitsuko shakes her head sadly. “I used to play shamisen.” “What’s that?” Bubbles question echoes your own thoughts, both of you looking at the raven haired woman. “It’s….” Mitsuko pauses for a moment, her brow furrowing as she searches for the right words. “It’s a stringed instrument, like a guitar but it only has three strings. It’s common where I’m from.” “Do you have one?” You’re surprised at the eager tone in Bubbles’ voice. “No. I...left it behind when I left home.” You hear a sadness in Mitsuko’s words as she shakes her head. “Oh. That’s too bad.” Bubbles words are tinged with disappointment, lowering her gaze. “Yes. Thank you for playing, but I have to get back to work.” Mitsuko bows once more to Bubbles before quickly walking away. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by LFN Park <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You step closer to Mitsuko, who turns her head to look at you. “Hello <<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>.” She nods politely. “I see you’re enjoying yourself?” You speak softly as Bubbles continues to play. “Yes. She’s...surprisingly good at the piano.” Mitsuko murmurs. You stay silent as Bubbles finishes playing, finally opening her blue eye to look at you. Surprises crosses her expression briefly as a touch of color spreads on her cheeks. “That was very good.” Mitsuko bows slightly. You nod in agreement as Bubbles stands up. “Thank you. Do you play?” The taller woman looks down curiously at Mitsuko. “No. Well, not the piano.” Mitsuko shakes her head sadly. “I used to play shamisen.” “What’s that?” Bubbles voices your question before you can, both of you looking at the raven haired woman. “It’s….” Mitsuko pauses for a moment, her brow furrowing as she searches for the right words. “It’s a stringed instrument, like a guitar but it only has three strings.

Your eyes turn to Anna, thoughts of her joining you in the bath filling your mind. <<talk "player">>Anna, mind joining me for a bit? I could use someone to scrub my back.<</talk>>\ The faintest hint of a smile plays across her lips, her eyes drifting over you for a split second before she nods and quickly moves to an alcove to undress.By the time she's done, you're half undressed as well. Anna moves to you, her eyes meeting yours before reaching out and starting to undress you herself. You allow her, watching her movements as she slips each article of clothing free of your body, folds it, and sits it aside. It's not long before you're standing before her every bit as naked as she is. When you move to the bath, she follows closely behind. The water is warm, enveloping your body inch by inch in a pleasant cocoon. You're barely settled into the water when you feel Anna behind you, her body pressing against your back as her arms slip around your middle. Her nipples feel firm as the press against your back, and as her hair brushes your shoulder you think you feel her lips lightly touch your skin. Turning toward her, you can see her blush, her cheeks darkening as she smiles. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Your eyes linger on Anna for a long second before you call out to her. <<talk "player">>Come wash my back,<</talk>>\ You tell Anna simply. For a split second her face pinches before she hides her displeasure behind a carefully composed expression. With a little nod, she moves to an alcove and quickly undresses before coming to you. Standing completely naked, she begins to undress you. Her fingers move with practiced ease, freeing you of each piece of clothing in turn before quickly folding and sitting them aside. Once fully undressed, you turn toward the bathing pool and walk the short distance to it's still surface. A small ripple radiates out from your foot as you start to slip into the water. The ripple becomes larger and larger as more of your body enters the pool until you are enveloped up to your chest. A gentle splash comes from behind you as Anna enters the pool behind you. Turning toward her, you see a wash cloth in her hands, clasped in front of herself as if that somehow offers her a hint of modesty. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

<<talk "player">>Anna, can you join me? Help wash my back?<</talk>>\ You ask Anna as your thoughts turn to the bathing pool. Anna quickly nods, starting to unbutton her clothes as she moves to an alcove to undress. Meanwhile, you undress yourself, the last of your clothes coming off just seconds after Anna finishes undressing. Moving toward the bathing pool, Anna is only a few steps behind you. Entering the water, you sigh contentedly as the warm fluid surrounds you. Behind you, Anna enters as well, a wash cloth in hand as she moves toward you. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

<<talk "player">>How about you help me with my bath.<</talk>>\ You say to Anna, your eyes drifting over her body as you decide to take a bath. <<talk "thought">>Even fully clothed, she's nice to look at.<</talk>>\ Without hesitation, Anna moves to an alcove and undresses. You can't help but pause in the middle of undressing yourselt to watch her. When she finishes, she turns toward you, catching you looking, and blushes as she looks away. It only takes you a moment to finish undressing yourself, then you move toward the bathing pool. Only a couple of paces behind you, Anna follows, a wash cloth in her hands like some small shield for her modesty. You slip quickly into the water, allowing yourself to dip so the water comes up around your neck. For a second, you savor the feel of the warm water all around you, then you stand again, the water only coming up to your chest when upright. Slower, Anna enters the water. You turn to watch her as she eases first one foot, then the other into the warm water. Her eyes half close as she clearly enjoys the water's toasty embrace. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Startig at the base of your neck, Anna washes you. The soft cloth brushes across your neck, raising up to scrub behind your ears before starting to work her way slowly down your body. Each movement she makes it calculated, every movement comes with a practiced ease as she efficiently cleans your body. As she washes you, she gives every inch of you the attention it needs, but never lingers needlessly in any place. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

The wash cloth Anna is holding feels soft against your skin, but nowhere near as soft as her skin as she leans against your back, her full breasts pressing pleasantly against your shoulders as she reaches around to your front. One hand holds hte cloth against your chest, but the other strays bare against your flesh. The way she moves, the care she takes, makes it clear that she doesn't mind bathing you like this, that she might even be enjoying it a bit. As if to confirm your thoughts, one of her hands drifts downward toward your crotch, tasingly moving to your thigh at the last possible moment. Her breath is hot against the back of your damp neck as she moves her hands to your sides. Thighs to ass, then up along your flanks as she moves toward your shoulders. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Anna's movements are stiff as she washes you. It's almost immediately clear that she doesn't really want to be washing you, but at the same time the practiced ease with which she performs the task is commendable. Tiy remain still, allowing her to wash you, scribbuing where appropriate and simply wiping you down elsewhere. More quickly than you had expected, she slows her movements, having washed your entire body. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Anna meets your eyes, then quickly looks away as she steps around you to start washing your back. You can tell immediately that she's handling the task professionally, trying to do a good job but not seeking to make the moment intimate either. You enjoy the feel of the wash cloth against your skin for what it is. After she finishes your back, she steps around to your front washing you with care while spending only the minimum time on your more intimate areas. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Anna moves so she's directly in front of you, the wash cloth in her hand rising as she begins to wash your jaw and neck. As she works, she steps to the side, working her way around to your back before moving down to your shoulders. Again, she moves around you as she washes, doing back, sides, and front of your shoulders before moving to your chest. You find that you enjoy the way she's circling you while washing. Her naked body moving enticingly through the water, slipping from your view for a few seconds only to return once more in all it's glory. As she finishes, you find yourself just a little sad that she's already done. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

As Anna moves behind you to wash your back, you can feel the bulge of her pregnancy brush against your back for a moment before she begins. With care, she washes you, starting at the top and working her way downward. Top to bottom, then she moves closer to you, her belly pressing against your back first, then her breasts as she reaches around to wash your front. You enjoy the feel of her body against yours, the swell of her belly feeling smooth and slippery against your skin while her breasts feel soft and plyable. All too soon, she pulls back. You turn toward her, seeing in her expression that she believes herself to be finished and is awaiting further orders. <<link "Let Anna wash some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Before Anna can start to wash you, you reach out and touch her cheek. A faint smile plays at her lips as she leans into your hand almost imperceptibly. Instead of allowing her to wash you, you instead take the wash cloth away from her. She looks a little unsure of what to expect, but as you start to wash her, her face softens, becoming content. As you wash her, you do your best to do a good job, but you find yourself lingering on her breasts, then lingering again around her ass and hips. The whole while you work, Anna watches you, her gaze never straying as she focuses on your face. Being watched so closely would likely be awkward under different circumstances, but she looks happy, clearly enjoying herself, and somehow that makes the experience feel nearly as intimate as far more physical forms of intimacy. As you finish, you allow Anna to take the wash cloth from your hand, a warm smile on her lips as she quickly looks away. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Anna is clearly uncertain as you take the wash cloth from her hand. She starts to move, looking like she's going to bend over the side of the bathing pool. Clearly expecting you to take advantage of her naked state to sate your lusts on her. Instead, you stop her, dipping the wash cloth in the water to wet it, then raising it up to scrub lightly at her shoulder. <<talk "player">>You do so much already, let me do this for you.<</talk>>\ You tell her, moving the wash cloth to her jaw. She looks uncertain, her eyes just a little too wide. You think you detect a faint shiver from her, but she offers no form of resistance With great care, you wash her. Every move you make is intimate, more intimate than sex in it's own strange way. You're just moving past her shoulders to her sides and chest when she closes her eyes. You don't know what she's thinking, but it's clear that she's making an effort to enjoy you washing her. By the time you reach her hips, she seems lost in the moment, only tensing when you move to wash her crotch. Her eyes snap open, something haunted in her gaze is quickly hidden behind a cafefully composed expression. Only then does she part her legs slightly, giving you easier access to her most intimate place. She never looks away from you as you reach back down, using the wash cloth to gently clean her before withdrawing again. Anna looks uncertain, clearly having expected you to do more. You smile at her, hoping to appear reassuring. Her eyes flicker to the wash cloth in your hands, then back at you. Hesitantly, she takes the wash cloth from your hands again. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Anna watches you, her expression carefully guarded as you take the wash cloth from her hand. Giving a smile that you hope is reassuring, you reach out and start to wash her. At first, Anna seems tense and uncertain, but as she comes to realize what you're doing, she quickly relaxes. Within seconds, she's closed her eyes and seems intent to simply enjoy you washing her. You can't help but admire her body as you wash her, her gentle curves and the way her skin glistens wetly in the room's light. When the wash cloth brushes over her breasts, you see her eyes flicker open for just a second. You notice that she relaxes much quicker this time. Watching her reactions, you smile when her belly tightens as the wash cloth tickles the sensitive skin, and marvel at the way her lips part when the wash cloth drifts between her legs, a soft moan escaping her lips before she realizes what she is doing and blushes. Finally finished, her eyes drift slowly open and search your expression. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Taking the wash cloth from her hand, you step around behind Anna. She looks like she's going to turn around, but resists the urge as you raise the wash cloth and touch her shoulder. In an instant, she stills, not moving as you start to wash her. You begin with her back and shoulders, caressing her body until she begins to relaz, then moving slowly down her back while washing her sides. Anna lets out a surprised sigh when you use your free hand to cup her bottom, but she does nothing to indicate that the act displeases her. When you've finished her back half you step close to her rather than moving to her front. Your manhood presses against her ass and your chest against her back. She gasps in surprise, her breasts thrusting forward as she feels you press so intimately against her. With the same care you washed her back, you do the same for her front half, perhaps spending a little more time than you intended on her breasts and thighs, but even so your intent is clearly to bathe her rather than take advantage of her nudity. Standing Directly behind her, your erection nestled against the crack of her ass, you hug her lightly from behind before allowing her to take the wash cloth from your hand. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Reaching out, you take the wash cloth from Anna's hand. You can see see her watching you, but your eyes linger on her body, admiring her curves. You dip the wash cloth in the water, then squeeze it to remove most of the water before reaching up with it. Instead of watching her face, you instead watch the place you are cleaning, watching as the water runs down her body, watching as skin tightens or skin glistens. Each motion you make is careful and deliberate, coaxing a soft sigh from her lips as you clean her. The wash cloth glides almost silently across her skin as you gaze upon her body like it is a work of art. Inch by inch you clean her, every touch, every caress provoking another involuntary response from her until you're finally done. When you turn your eyes upward, you meet her eyes. Her expression holds a glazed quality to it, not quite focusing on you as she looks into the distance through you. In the next instant, she blinks, seeming to come back to her senses as her eyes snap back into focus. Her eyes fixate on you, her cheeks darkening as she blushes, then she quickly looks away. You see what can only be described as a happy look on her face before she hides it behind a serene expression once more. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Moving behind Anna, you allow your wet hands to slide across her shoulders, then around her sides to her hands so you can take the wash cloth in her hands. With the wash cloth in one hand, you move both of your hands to her belly where you allow them to rest there lightly. For a few seconds, you marvel as your thoughts drift to the life growing inside of her. Turning your attention back to washing, you drift the wash cloth over her belly, starting low before working your way slowly upward. A few minutes later, you've washed her body and let your hands drift back to her belly, your bare hand resting lightly on the soft skin for a few seconds longer before letting Anna take the wash cloth from you again. <<link "Let Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "Intimate bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaIntimateBathing>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Reaching out, one of your hands comes to rest on her side while the other slides to her hip. You allow one hand to trail across her delicate skin to cup a breast while the hand on her hip pulls her body to yours until you feel the tip of your cock brush against her skin. <<link "Have Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> NOTE: This will link to a sex function in the game once that function is written.

You allow your hands to drift over her body, your thumb brushing over a nipple just before you give it a little tweak. Anna sighs, her breath quickening at the intimate touch. Taking a half step toward her, your body presses against hers, and you know in an instant from the way she straightens that she can feel your growing erection press low against her body. <<link "Have Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> NOTE: This will link to a sex function in the game once that function is written.

There's a longing in Anna's eyes as you touch her. Subtly, she leans into your hand as you cup one breast. You take a step toward her, nearly pinning your hand between you. In doing so, you press your swelling cock against her belly. Anna's lips part in a soft gask and you find yourself unalble to resist the urge to lean forward and let your lips brush against hers in something both incredibly intimate and at the same time not quite a kiss. <<link "Have Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> NOTE: This will link to a sex function in the game once that function is written.

Realizing that a bath is not what you actually desire, you reach out and place your hand on her belly, your thoughts drifting first to the life frowing inside of her, then to the act that conceived that life. Smiling faintly to yourself, you setp closer, your hand drifting from her belly downward where you find her most intimate place. Your fingers slide along her folds as Anna makes a surprised sound. Instinctively, she parts her legs slightly, giving you better access to her pussy. <<link "Have Anna wash you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashes>><</link>> <<link "Wash Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWashed>><</link>> <<link "End bath.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaBathEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>> NOTE: This will link to a sex function in the game once that function is written.

Thanking Anna, you step away from her and turn toward the side of the bathing pool. You're just stepping out of the pool when you hear Anna move in the water behind you. To the sound of water dropping off your body to the floor, you make your way to the alcove where you left your clothes and reach for a towel. The towel is incredibly soft, and you find yourself enjoying the feel of the material on your skin as you dry yourself. Once done, you start to dress yourself. You're just buckling your pants when you glance toward Anna. You see her in the last stage of dressing herself, her back to you as she does so. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You share a warm smile between you, then slip from the bathing pool to head toward the alcove where your clothing is waiting. Once there, you start to dry yourself before starting to get dressed again. All the while, you watch Anna doing the same close by. You can't help but admire her curves as she moves. When she sees you watching you, she blushes, looking away quickly as a small smile plays at her lips. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You thank Anna for the help in the bathing pool, then move to get out of the bathing pool. The water drips from your body as you move toward the alcove where your clothes are.

Looking at the still waters of the bathing pool, you think about how inviting it looks. <<talk "thought">>What the heck.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself, your thoughts already turning to how nice the warm water is going to feel enveloping your body. You walk to one of the alcoves around the room and quickly undress, sitting your clothes on the bench, then turning toward the bathing pool. Your footsteps draw you to the water's edge, then you step down the four steps that lead into the pool, feeling the water rising up just past your belly before bending your knees and settling deeper in the water. A soft moan escapes your lips as you savor the feel of the water's warm embrace. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Deciding to make use of the bathing room, you move to one of the alcoves the line the outer edge of the room. Each piece of clothing you remove is placed on the stone bench in turn, then you move toward the pool. A few short steps later, you step into the pool, the warm water enveloping your foot and sliding up your leg as you begin to descend into the water. Your first step into the waters brings the water up to a little under your knee, and a second takes it past. By the time you're all the way in, the water reaches to the lower portion of your chest. <<talk "thought">>Nice and warm.<</talk>>\ You think as you lower yourself into the pool until the water draws up around your neck. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

You look at the inviting waters for only a heartbeat before you feel the urge to get into the bathing pool. However your path takes you further from the pool as you make your way to a nearby alcove to strip down, your clothes being piled on the stone bench in the alcove before turning back toward the water. The hard floor feels warm against the soles of your feet as you pad your way to the pool. As you enter the pool, you marvel at the way the warm water envelopes your body in a comforting embrace. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

Closing your eyes, you sink a little deeper until only your face is above the gently moving water. As the water covers your ears, the world around you is muted. You remain like that for several minutes, simply enjoying the relaxing pool, the faint scent of lavender filling the air. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if the water is scented, or if it's something else?<</talk>>\ The thought is an idle one, and forgotten almost as soon as it crosses your mind. Eventually you take a deep breath, then sigh, knowing that no matter how pleasant the waters might be, you have to get out eventually. <<link "Get out.">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 17 }>>

Moving your arms through the water, you half walk, half swim your way across the bathing pool before sitting down on the ledge along the inside of the pool. Sitting in the water like this, the water comes up almost to your shoulders. With your eyes closed, you lean back against the side of the tub and simply enjoy the feel of the warm water engulfing your body. It's much later that you finally open your eyes again and prepare to exit the water. <<link "Get out.">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 20 }>>

You have only been in the water for a few minutes when you hear the door to the room open. Looking up, you can see Anna just entering the room. The moment she sees you, she draws up short as if uncertain what to do. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 100>>\ Anna's eyes meet yours, then flicker toward your body, partially concealed beneath the waters.

As her panties slide down her hips, she looks back at you, smiling slightly when she sees you looking, then allowing them to fall past her hips and pool around her ankles. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't have looked away as Anna turns to face you. She strikes an almost perfect Venus pose, one arm wrapped lightly over her breasts while the other hangs down to obscure her crotch. Even a bit of her hair falls over her shoulder. You see her eyes flicker downward as if she is struggling to work up her courage, then her hands slowly drop to her sides before her eyes come back up slowly to meet yours. A shy smile forms on her lips as her eyes meet yours. <<talk "thought">>Beautiful.<</talk>>\ You think as she walks toward the pool. You feel the urge to move toward her, but you resist that urge as you watch her instead, the tip of her toes first, then the rest of her foot sliding into the water, past the ankle and part way up her calf before her foot finds the first step. Then the other foot follows, sliding gracefully into the water while barely making a ripple as it reaches her thigh. Anna nibbles her lip as she finishes her descent into the pool, the water coming up to lap at the bottom of her breasts as she stops expectantly right in front of you. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 700 and $anna.fear lte 200>>\ Anna's looks just a little uncertain, but nods all the same. <<talk "anna">>If you don't mind?<</talk>>\ Her tone holds a hint of caution. <<talk "player">>Absolutely, I'd love it if you chose to join me!<</talk>>\ She nods, looking relieved. <<talk "anna">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ You watch as she moves to one of the many alcoves around the bathing room. <<talk "thought">>She's taking the one right beside mine.

Then the other foot follows, sliding gracefully into the water while barely making a ripple as it reaches her thigh. Anna closes her eyes just a hint longer than it would take to blink as she finishes her descent into the pool, the water coming up to lap at the bottom of her breasts as she stops expectantly right in front of you. You can see her uncertainty as she waits to see what you do. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 500 or $anna.fear lte 250>>\ Anna's is clearly uneasy but nods all the same. <<talk "anna">>If you don't mind?<</talk>>\ Her tone is just a little wary. <<talk "player">>Absolutely, I'd love it if you chose to join me.<</talk>>\ She nods before responding in a formal tone. <<talk "anna">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ You watch as she moves to one of the many alcoves around the bathing room.

As her panties slide down her hips, she looks back at you, her expression pinching slightly when she sees you looking, then allowing them to fall past her hips and pool around her ankles. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't have looked away as Anna turns to face you. She strikes an almost perfect Venus pose, one arm wrapped lightly over her breasts while the other hangs down to obscure her crotch. Even a bit of her hair falls over her shoulder. You see her eyes flicker downward as if she is struggling to work up her courage, she makes it half way to the pool before she finally allows her hands to slowly drop to her sides, her eyes not quite meeting yours as she does so. <<talk "thought">>Beautiful.<</talk>>\ You think as she walks toward the pool.

Openly watching her, you enjoy the sight of her undressing, each piece of clothing coming off with almost exaggerated care before being neatly folded and sat in a little nook in the wall intended to hold them. As her panties slide down her hips, she looks back at you, a slight tremor going through her when she sees you looking, then allowing the panties to fall past her hips and pool around her ankles. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't have looked away as Anna turns to face you. She strikes an almost perfect Venus pose, one arm wrapped lightly over her breasts while the other hangs down to obscure her crotch. Even a bit of her hair falls over her shoulder. You see her eyes flicker downward as if she is struggling to work up her courage. Each footstep looks forced, as if she's walking to her own execution rather than simply joining you in the pool for a little while. As she approaches, she seems unable to meet your gaze. <<talk "thought">>Beautiful.<</talk>>\ You think as she walks toward the pool. You feel the urge to move toward her, but you resist that urge as you watch her instead, the tip of her toes first, then the rest of her foot sliding into the water, past the ankle and part way up her calf before her foot finds the first step. Then the other foot follows, sliding gracefully into the water while barely making a ripple as it reaches her thigh. Anna closes her eyes just a hint longer than it would take to blink as she finishes her descent into the pool, the water coming up to lap at the bottom of her breasts as she stops mechanically right in front of you. In those final steps, her expression changes, like a mask slipping into place. But while that mask shrouds her fear, it's clear that it's a fragile thing that could break at any moment. <<set $anna.affection += 1>>\ <</if>>\ [[Make love to her.|Bathing Room Core Anna 1d]] [[Wash each other.|Bathing Room Core Scene 1e]] [[Continue your bath.|Bathing Room Core Scene 1f]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>\

Leaning forward, you let your lips touch hers in a tender little kiss. <<if $anna.affection gte 950 and $anna.fear lte 50>>\ Anna sighs happily, her arms wrapping around you after only a moment's hesitation as she meets your kiss. Your own hands move to her ass, pulling her against you. You can see her eyes widen in surprise, a little @@.a1;eep!@@ escaping her lips. A second later her legs wrap around your hips. In her eyes you can see her fear of rejection, but if vanishes behind a smile as your kiss intensifies. Between your legs, you can feel your manhood rising to full mast, pressing against her ass. Using your hands on her ass, you pull her away slightly. She takes the hint and reaches down between you, guiding the tip of your erection at her opening. Even with all the water, you can feel how slick she is inside as you push forward. She trembles slightly, her arms clinging just a little tighter to you for a few seconds. <<talk "thought">>I think she just came.<</talk>>\ The thought brings a smile to your lips. When you start rocking your hips, she begins to do the same, within seconds the two of you have settled into a steady rhythm. All around you the water moves, your motion creating waves that lap noisily at the sides of the bathing pool. Anna's breath is hot against your lips, her legs squeezing around your hips in a way that suggests she's afraid you'll somehow slip away from her at any moment. Over the next few minutes, the only sounds are those of the water splashing around you and the soft moans that fill the air. It's an almost magical moment that can not last forever. Anna shudders in your arms again, her pussy quivering around your cock as another orgasm washes over her like a tidal wave. All she can do is cling to you, trying to hold on as she looses herself in a few moments of bliss. The desperation and passion of her movements are more than you can take, you can feel your cock swell and twitch. You manage to prolong the inevitable for one more thrust, then you couldn't hold back if your life depended on it. You shove forward with everything you have and hold yourself balls deep inside of her as you throb and jerk, spilling your seed against her cervix. When you finally start to catch your breath again, you can see that Anna's expression is still glazed in pleasure. Leaning forward, you kiss her again, and like Sleeping Beauty, she seems to return to her senses as a smile blossoms on her lips. For a little longer, you hold her like that, eventually releasing her. She pulls back from you with a little smile on her lips, her hands clutched together between her breasts. In the minutes that follow, both of you fall into a comfortable silence as you clean yourselves up. Once done, you slip from the water, Anna just a couple of paces behind you. Each of you move to your own alcoves to dry off. As you dress yourself, you cast glances at Anna, admiring her curves and movements. As often as not, you catch her throwing the same kinds of glances at you. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 600 and $anna.fear lte 350>>\ Anna looks into your eyes, her arms wrapping around you after a short hesitation as she finally meets your kiss.

She remains like that for several seconds before you take hold of her thigh, encouraging her to wrap her legs around you. In her eyes you can see caution, but also hope as your kiss intensifies. Between your legs, you can feel your manhood rising to full mast, pressing against Anna's ass. Using your hands on her ass, you pull her away slightly. She hesitates, but after a few seconds seems to realize you want her to guide you in. Reaching down down between you, she guides the tip of your erection at her opening. Even with all the water, you slide easily inside of her slick hole. You can tell that she is wet, but you also know that the pool's water aided in your sudden intrusion. When you start rocking your hips, she begins to do the same, within seconds the two of you have settled into a steady rhythm. All around you the water moves, your motion creating waves that lap noisily at the sides of the bathing pool. Anna's breath is hot against your lips, her legs wrapped around your hips to hold herself in place. Over the next few minutes, the only sounds are those of the water splashing around you and the soft moans that fill the air. But the moment can not last forever, and after several minutes you can tell that you're starting to get close. Anna shudders in your arms, her pussy quivering around your cock as an orgasm washes over her. All she can do is cling to you, trying to hold on as she looses herself in a few moments of pleasure. The feel of her pussy quivering around your cock is more than you can take, you can feel your penis swell and twitch.

You shove forward with everything you have and hold yourself balls deep inside of her as you throb and jerk, spilling your seed against her cervix. When you finally start to catch your breath again, you can see that Anna's expression is still glazed as she recovers from her orgasm. Leaning forward, you kiss her again, and slowly she seems to return to her senses as a smile blossoms on her lips. For a little longer, you hold her like that, eventually releasing her. She pulls back from you, her eyes on yours as she studies your features. In the minutes that follow, both of you fall into a comfortable silence as you clean yourselves up. Once done, you slip from the water, Anna just a couple of paces behind you. Each of you move to your own alcoves to dry off.

She remains like that for several seconds before you take hold of her thigh, encouraging her to wrap her legs around you, her movements are mechanical. Between your legs, you can feel your manhood rising to full mast, pressing against Anna's ass. Using your hands on her ass, you pull her away slightly. You hope that she will reach down to guide you in, but when she doesn't do it you reach down to do it yourself. Your cock slides in with ease, but you can tell that the water is serving as lubrication rather than her own juices. When you start rocking your hips, she begins to do the same, within seconds the two of you have settled into a steady rhythm. It doesn't take long before though before you can feel her getting wetter, your movements becoming more natural with every thrust. All around you the water moves, your motion creating waves that lap noisily at the sides of the bathing pool. Anna's breath is hot against your cheek, her legs wrapped loosely around your hips to hold herself in place. Over the next few minutes, the only sounds are those of the water splashing around you and the soft moans that fill the air. But the moment can not last forever, and after several minutes you can tell that you're starting to get close. Anna moans softly in your arms, her pussy quivering around your cock as an orgasm washes over her. Instinctively she clings to you, trying to hold on as she looses herself in a few fleeting moments of pleasure. The feel of her pussy quivering around your cock is more than you can take, you can feel your penis swell and twitch. You manage to prolong the inevitable for one more thrust, then you couldn't hold back if your life depended on it. Shoving forward with everything you have, you hold yourself balls deep inside of her as you throb and jerk, spilling your seed against her cervix. When you finally start to catch your breath again, you can see Anna looking at you, her breath still labored. Leaning forward, you kiss her again, and reluctantly she begins to return it. For a little longer, you hold her like that, eventually releasing her. She pulls back from you, her eyes on yours for a long second before looking away. In the minutes that follow, both of you fall into mildly awkward silence as you clean yourselves up. Once done, you slip from the water, Anna several paces behind you. Each of you move to your own alcoves to dry off. As you dress yourself, you cast glances at Anna, admiring her curves and movements. But only once do you catch her sneaking a peek at you in return. <<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<else>>\ You can see the fear in her expression even though she hides it well.

Bit by bit, you can feel her getting wetter, your movements becoming more natural with every thrust. All around you the water moves, your motion creating waves that lap noisily at the sides of the bathing pool.

Over the next few minutes, the only sounds are those of the water splashing around you and the soft moans that fill the air. But the moment can not last forever, and after several minutes you can tell that you're starting to get close. Anna moans softly in your arms, the sound resembling a sigh. Her pussy quivers around your cock as an orgasm washes over her. She holds on to you lightly for stability as she looses herself in a few fleeting moments of pleasure. The feel of her pussy quivering around your cock is more than you can take, you can feel your penis swell and twitch.

You can see Anna's eyes move from your face to the items in your hand, understanding registering in her eyes. Even before you are fully in the bathing pool again, her hands are outstretched to take the washcloth and soap. <<talk "thought">>She's so used to being a servant that it never even crossed her mind that I might have other motives right now.<</talk>>\ ''You smile to yourself and allow her to take those items.'' <<if $anna.affection gte 1000 and $anna.fear lte 0>>\ You watch her dip the washcloth into the water, then use the soap to build up suds on the cloth. The smile on her lips is just a hint sad as she reaches up to your shoulder, beginning to gently wash you from the neck down. Anna takes great care, affection in her eyes as she moves. Every motion she makes is slow and deliberate in a way that makes clear that she is enjoying the experience. You can't help but notice that even though she is holding the washcloth, more often than not her bare hands are moving across your flesh. Delicate fingers caressing as the glide over your skin. She washes you down to just below your navel, then moves behind you. Her hands move to your shoulders and a moment later you feel her breasts press against your back. It takes her several minutes to work her hands down your body, but you enjoy every second of her gentle touch. When her hands reach your bottom, she gives you a light squeeze, then lets her hands drift around to your front. Her hands both reach your penis at the same time, half washing, half stroking it's length for far longer than needed to clean you. When she is finally done, you turn toward her, taking the washcloth and soap from her hands before soaping the cloth back up. <<talk "player">>My turn!<</talk>>\ ''You say to her.'' Even before the washcloth touches her skin, you know that this is something you want to make last. You bring the washcloth up to her soft jawline, caressing as much as washing it's delicate contour. Anna leans into the action, clearly enjoying what you are doing. Inch by inch, you make your way around her jaw and move to her neck. When you reach her throat, the tenses slightly, the ghost of horrors past flickering in her eyes before she meets your eyes and seems to relax once more. Then it's her shoulders, the washcloth leaving suds in its wake as you rub the skin with slow and deliberate movements. A soft sigh escapes her lips as the wash cloth brushes over her breasts. You manage to continue until you reach her navel, then you give up any pretense of washing her and admit to yourself what you are doing. With only your hands, you want nothing more than to show her just how beautiful you find her. There's a moment of confusion in her eyes as you toss the washcloth and soap off to the side, the soap clattering on the hard stone floor while the washcloth lands with a simple wet thud. Anna starts to open her mouth, but before she can utter a single word you rise one finger and place it lightly on her lips, stalling anything that she might have planned to say. Looking into her eyes, you never break eye contact as your hands begin to wander, tracing her lips, caressing along her jawline. You can see her eyes half close, her head leaning in to your palm. You make every touch a caress, every moment a testament to her beauty. A soft gasp escapes her lips as your hands stray down from her jaw, your fingertips straying lightly across her throat. There's a sharp intake of breath from Anna, but there's also trust in her eyes as you continue. Moving outward, your hands slide to her shoulders, straying lightly down her arms until you find her hands. As your lips touch hers in a gentle kiss, your fingers intertwine. For a few seconds you remain like this, your lips pressing lightly against hers as she moans softly in pleasure. As you break the kiss, your fingers slide free of hers and begin to slide delicately up her arms once more until you reach her collar bone which you in turn follow toward where the meet. Once there, your hands slide downward, approaching her cleavage but not quite touching her breasts, then you reverse course and allow your hands to stray around her breasts until you are cupping them. Only then do you let your hands touch her breasts, lightly caressing them as you heft their weight. For maybe a minute, you knead and caress her breasts, occasionally straying to her nipples. Then your hands are moving again, straying down across her smooth belly before redirecting toward her hips. Anna's breath is heavy, her eyes glazed as she looks at you. <<talk "thought">>She looks like she's lost in bliss.<</talk>>\ Slowly, you move your hands from her hips around her back, pulling her into a gentle embrace. You smile to yourself as you look at the happy smile on her face, as you feel her chest rise and fall with her breathless panting. <<talk "player">>You are amazing, beautiful and sweet.<</talk>>\ ''You kiss her as if to sample her taste.'' <<talk "anna">>At moments like this, I believe you.<</talk>>\ ''She smiles shyly, her eyes finally seeming to focus on you again.''

Leaning your head forward, you touch your brow to hers. <<talk "player">>And that makes me the luckiest man alive.<</talk>>\ A minute later, the two of you both slip from the bathing pool, your fingers intertwined as you hold hands. You don't release each other until you reach the alcove where both of you dry off and get dressed. All the while you share meaningful glances and warm smiles. Once done, you sweep Anna into a hug and kiss her again before allowing her to slip into the mansion. <<set $anna.affection += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 5>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 200>>\ You watch her dip the washcloth into the water, then use the soap to build up suds on the cloth.

Leaning your head forward, you touch your brow to hers. <<talk "anna">>You have always been special, you just need someone to show you once in a while.<</talk>>\ A minute later, the two of you both slip from the bathing pool, your fingers intertwined as you hold hands. You don't release each other until you reach the alcove where both of you dry off and get dressed. All the while you share meaningful glances and warm smiles. Once done, you sweep Anna into a hug and kiss her again before allowing her to slip into the mansion. <<set $anna.affection += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 5>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 300 or $anna.fear lte 700>>\ You watch her dip the washcloth into the water, then use the soap to build up suds on the cloth. She has a serious expression on her face as she reaches up to your shoulder, beginning to gently wash you from the neck down. Anna takes great care, her expression unreadable as she moves. Every motion she makes is efficient and mechanical, as if this is something she is doing on autopilot rather than a task she is enjoying. She washes you down to just below your navel, then moves behind you. Her hands move to your shoulders and a moment later you feel her breasts press hesitantly against your back. It takes her several minutes to work her hands down your body somehow making it sensual without letting it become explicitly sexual, but even so you enjoy every second of her gentle touch. When her hands reach your bottom, she does not linger but instead lets her hands drift around to your front. Her hands both reach your penis at the same time, washing it with the same detached care as the rest of you. When she is finally done, you turn toward her, taking the washcloth and soap from her hands before soaping the cloth back up. <<talk "player">>My turn!<</talk>>\ ''You say to her.'' There's a moment of confusion in her eyes before surprise registers at her realization that you're about to wash her in turn. Even before the washcloth touches her skin, you know that this is something you want to make last. You bring the washcloth up to her soft jawline, caressing as much as washing it's delicate contour. Anna remains still, watching you. The way her nipples harden, crinkling, is the only indication that she is enjoying what you are doing. Inch by inch, you make your way around her jaw and move to her neck. When you reach her throat, the tenses and jerks back a fraction of an inch, the ghost of horrors past flickering in her eyes before she meets your eyes. It takes several seconds before you see the tension beginning to leave her. Then it's her shoulders, the washcloth leaving suds in its wake as you rub the skin with slow and deliberate movements. She makes a small sound, through you do not know if it's from pleasure of unease as the wash cloth brushes over her breasts. You manage to continue until you reach her navel, then you give up any pretense of washing her and admit to yourself what you are doing. With only your hands, you want nothing more than to show her just how beautiful you find her. There's clear worry in her eyes as you toss the washcloth and soap off to the side, the soap clattering on the hard stone floor while the washcloth lands with a simple wet thud. She looks as if she wants to say something, but remains silent as you rise one finger and place it lightly on her lips, stalling anything that she might have planned to say. Looking into her eyes, you never break eye contact as your hands begin to wander, tracing her lips, caressing along her jawline. There is so much uncertainty in her eyes. You can tell that she wants to enjoy what you are doing, but is still too scared to really appreciate what you are doing even though you make every touch a caress, every moment a testament to her beauty. Her breath catches in her throat as your hands stray down from her jaw, your fingertips straying lightly across her throat. She trembles almost imperceptibly at your touch and not wanting to make this experience unpleasant for her you let your hands stray lower. Moving outward, your hands slide to her shoulders, straying lightly down her arms until you find her hands. As your lips touch hers in a gentle kiss, you intertwine your fingers with hers even though she seems to not understand what you are doing at first. For a few seconds you remain like this, your lips pressing lightly against hers until she finally starts to accept your kiss. As you break the kiss, your fingers slide free of hers and begin to slide delicately up her arms once more until you reach her collar bone which you in turn follow toward where the meet. Again she tenses as you are so near her throat. <<talk "thought">>I wonder how often my Great Uncle choked her to evoke that kind of response from her?<</talk>>\\ Once there, your hands slide downward, approaching her cleavage but not quite touching her breasts, then you reverse course and allow your hands to stray around her breasts until you are cupping them. Only then do you let your hands touch her breasts, lightly caressing them as you heft their weight. For maybe a minute, you knead and caress her breasts, occasionally straying to her nipples. Then your hands are moving again, straying down across her smooth belly before redirecting toward her hips. Slowly, you move your hands from her hips around her back, pulling her into a gentle embrace. She tenses, going rigid in your arms for just a second before she can relax again. The worry in her eyes remains however. <<talk "player">>You are amazing, beautiful and sweet.<</talk>>\ You resist the urge to kiss her since you don't want to make the situation any more awkward than it is already becoming. A minute later, the two of you both slip from the bathing pool, moving to your own alcoves to dry off and dress again. You watch her from the corner of your eye, but you only see her glance your direction a couple of times. Her expression is an odd mix of worry and curiosity. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 10>>\ <<else>>\ You watch her dip the washcloth into the water, then use the soap to build up suds on the cloth.

Her hands both reach your penis at the same time, washing it with the same detached care as the rest of you. When she is finally done, you turn toward her, taking the washcloth and soap from her hands before soaping the cloth back up, "My turn," You say to her. There's a moment of confusion in her eyes before surprise registers at her realization that you're about to wash her in turn. Even before the washcloth touches her skin, you know that this is something you want to make last, to give her a few minutes of pleasure. You bring the washcloth up to her soft jawline, caressing as much as washing it's delicate contour. Anna remains perfectly still, watching you with wary eyes. She shows no sign that she's enjoying your touch in the least. Inch by inch, you make your way around her jaw and move to her neck. When you reach her throat, the tenses and jerks back a fraction of an inch, the ghost of horrors past flickering in her eyes as she seems to focus on anything but your face. She doesn't relax in the least until you begin to move on, and even then she does so reluctantly. Then it's her shoulders, the washcloth leaving suds in its wake as you rub the skin with slow and deliberate movements. She makes a small sound, through you suspect it is more fear than pleasure, as the wash cloth brushes over her breasts. You manage to continue until you reach her navel, then you give up any pretense of washing her and admit to yourself what you are doing. With only your hands, you want nothing more than to show her just how beautiful you find her. There's clear worry in her eyes as you toss the washcloth and soap off to the side, the soap clattering on the hard stone floor while the washcloth lands with a simple wet thud. Even though she shows no sign that she might say something, you still rise a single finger to her lips and rest it lightly across them to silence her. Looking into her troubled eyes, you never break eye contact as your hands begin to wander, tracing her lips, caressing along her jawline. <<talk "thought">>Is it even worth it to do something like this for her? She's so scared that she can't even enjoy it.<</talk>>\ There is so much uncertainty in her eyes. Even so you make every touch a caress, every moment a testament to her beauty. Her breath catches in her throat and a shudder goes through her as your hands stray down from her jaw, your fingertips straying lightly across her throat. You quickly move on before you can make the situation any worse. Your hands slide to her shoulders, straying lightly down her arms until you find her hands. As your lips touch hers in a gentle kiss, you try to intertwine your fingers with hers but her hands hand limply and you're unable to do so. Instead you hold her hands instead. For a few seconds you remain like this, your lips pressing lightly against hers even though she never really returns the kiss. As you break the kiss, your release her hands and begin to slide delicately up her arms once more until you reach her collar bone which you in turn follow toward where the meet. Again she tenses as you are so near her throat, though it is not as strong of a reaction as before. <<talk "thought">>I wonder how often my Great Uncle choked her to evoke that kind of response from her?<</talk>>\ Once there, your hands slide downward, approaching her cleavage but not quite touching her breasts, then you reverse course and allow your hands to stray around her breasts until you are cupping them.

Slowly, you move your hands from her hips around her back, pulling her into a gentle embrace. A slight tremor goes through her before she goes rigid in your arms. She looks terrified. <<talk "player">>You are amazing, beautiful and sweet.<</talk>>\ You try to reassure her, resisting the urge to kiss her since you don't want to make the situation any more awkward than it is already becoming. You shake your head, wanting to see her smile but knowing that it's not going to happen. <<talk "player">>All I wanted was to spend a few minutes treating you with the adoration you deserve.<</talk>>\ Anna looks unsure of what to say, muttering a simple... <<talk "anna">>Thank you sir.<</talk>>\ ''As she looks away from you.'' A minute later, the two of you both slip from the bathing pool. Even though you cast glances toward her, she seems interested in nothing more than clothing herself once more. <<set $anna.fear -= 10>><<set $anna.trust += 10>>\ <</if>>\ [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 24 }>>\

Turning part way away from Anna, you shift your attention toward washing yourself. Nearby, Anna does the same, clearly uncertain about your behavior. When you finish, you slip from the waters, excuse yourself as you cast one last look at her naked body, then head toward the alcove that holds your clothes as water drips from your naked body. <<link "Get out.">><<gotoevent setup.events.bathingRoomEnd>><</link>> <<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\

You're just starting to get comfortable, the muscles in your back just starting to loosen when you hear the door to the room swing open. Eve's half way into the room, kicking off her shoes and starting to pull her dress up in an effort to shuck it when she sees you. <<if $eve.affection gte 850 and $eve.fear lte 100>>\ A huge grin splits her face right before she pulls her dress up over her head and throws it off to the side. Next are her panties which she slides off with amazing speed. Then, fully naked she starts to run, squealing happily as she rushes the pool, jumps into the air, then lands with a belly flop that makes you cringe. I wave of water spreads out from her point of impact, sending water spilling over the side of the pool in every direction. <<talk "eve">>Ooouuuucccchhhh!<</talk>>\ ''Eve cries out as she comes up out of the water sputtering.'' <<talk "player">>You alright?<</talk>>\ You ask, feeling a sense of amusement at her entrance. <<talk "eve">>Just, hurts... a little.<</talk>>\ You can already see her belly and chest starting to turn red from her belly flop. But as she grins again, your eyes are drawn back to her face. She grabs her chest in both hands, "Think that's going to make them swell up?" You can't help but laugh, "I don't think it works that way." Eve pouts, then seems to shrug it off in the blink of an eye. For the next few minutes, Eve splashes around the pool and talks about nothing in particular. She seems completely oblivious to her own nudity in your presence, and only acknowledges yours by casting sheepish glances at your manhood. Then without warning she slips from the pool, her little naked ass on full display as she darts around the room to gather her earlier discarded clothes, then still naked and clutching her clothes to her chest, she grins at you one last time before darting out the door. <<talk "thought">>So now I have a naked girl running around the mansion?<</talk>>\ You remain in the pool for another minute, then decide you should probably get out as well. Slipping from the water you head for the towel, water dripping from your body as you go. Once dry, you redress yourself and turn away from the alcove. <<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>\ <<elseif $eve.affection gte 400 or $eve.fear lte 600>>\ She slows when she sees you, her expression turning more serious. You can see her eyes dip, clearly trying to see your manhood beneath the water. <<talk "eve">>Anna would tell me to leave you alone.<</talk>>\ Her eyes move back to your eyes for a second, her grin turning sheepish, then letting her dress drop back into place. She moves around the room quickly, casting occasional looks at you as she collects her discarded shoes, then bolting for the door as if the hounds of hell are on her heels. At the last second she turns toward you. <<talk "eve">>Goodbye!<</talk>>\ She calls before vanishing from your view. <<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>\ <<else>>\ Her expression sours almost instantly upon seeing you. <<talk "eve">>Nope!<</talk>>\ She declares, pivots on her heel as her dress starts to fall back in place, then exits the door every bit as much speed as she entered. <<talk "thought">>I wonder when she's going to come back for her shoes?<</talk>>\ The thought causes you to smirk. Slowly, you settle back into your reprieve, enjoying a few more quiet moments before exiting the bathing pool. Once out of the bathing pool, the water drips freely from your body until you pick up a towel and start to dry yourself. A few minutes later, you are dressed once more and ready to return your attention to other matters. <<set $eve.fear += 1>>\ <</if>>\ [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>\ <<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>>\

Both of you select a pool cue, chalk the tip, then turn your attention to the pool table. <<else>>\ <<talk "player">>Interested in playing a quick game of pool?<</talk>>\ Anna glances at the pool table, then at you before nodding. You can tell that she's not excited by the prospect of playing a game of pool, but she walks toward the table where she selects a cue and waits for you anyway. Choosing your own pool cue from the assortment available, you turn toward the table. <</if>>\ <<elseif $partner is "Eve">> <<talk "player">>Want to play?<</talk>>\ You ask, gesturing at the pool table. <<if $eve.affection gte 600 and $eve.fear lte 250>>\ <<talk "eve">>Really?

Instead of striking the neatly arranged balls on the other end of the table, the cue ball instead hits the side of the table with enough force to send it airborne.

You scratched on the break. Tough break. <<elseif _chance lte 60>>\ The balls roll around the table, seeming to go anywhere //but// in a pocket. One final ball, a solid, rolls precariously close to a pocket, seems to pause. You hold your breath in anticipation, then as if in answer to some silent prayer the ball falls into the hole. <<set $Pballs to "Solids"; $Pbcount to 1>>\ <<elseif _chance lte 74>>\ You sunk a solid. Now to see if you can run the table. <<set $Pballs to "Solids"; $Pbcount to 1>>\ <<elseif _chance is 75>>\ Your break is solid, sending the balls scattering around the table. However as you watch, you come to the unpleasant realization that the cue ball is headed right for one of the pockets. There's nothing you can do but watch as it falls into the hole. You scratched the cue ball. Tough break. <<elseif _chance lte 85>>\ With a loud cracking sound, the perfect triangle of pool balls scatter across the table. You try to watch everywhere at once as the balls bound off of the table sides. Just when you think you failed to sink any of the balls, you see a striped ball nearing one of the corner pockets. It seems to pause at the edge of the hole, drawing out your anticipation for a fraction of a second longer before falling into the hole. You sunk a stripe. Now to see if you can run the table! <<elseif _chance lte 99>>\ The cue ball strikes the grouped balls almost perfectly. You watch as the formation stays largely intact while just a few balls scatter across the table. With a satisfied smile, you watch as a stripe heads straight for one of the pockets where it falls into the hole with a soft sound. You sunk a stripe. Now to see if you can run the table. <<set $Pballs to "Stripes"; $Pbcount to 1>>\ <<elseif _chance is 100>>\ With a mighty cracking sound, you watch as the triangle of balls scatter across the table. Several of them strike the sides with enough force to bounce back toward the middle where they in turn hit other balls. One of those rebounding balls strikes the 8 ball, sending it careening toward one of the corner pockets where it doesn't even slow as it falls into the hole. You sunk the 8 Ball on the break. You win automatically. <<set $Pballs to "8ball">>\ <<else>>\ The clatter of balls striking is followed by several pool balls rolling lazily across the table.

<<if random(1,2) is 1>>\ <<talk 'eve'>><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice comes in a sing song tone right before she steps into sight. When you glance toward her, you can see an innocent smile on her face. <<talk "player">>What do you need Eve?<</talk>>\ You ask lightly.

You hear the sound of hard pieces inside of a box before you see her. <<talk "thought">>Sounds like a puzzle.<</talk>>\ ''You reflect.'' The sound stops just outside the room. Looking up, you see Eve step into view. It's clear that she's holding something behind her back. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ She fidgets, looking like she's unsure of if she should say something but at the same time realizes that she's past the point of no return. Pulling the box from behind her back, I quickly realize that it's not a puzzle, but is instead a board game. The letters RISK displayed boldly on the lid of the box among imagery of soldiers and the backdrop of a <<talk "thought">>Hmmm... It's been a long time since I last played.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself, but the thought barely crosses your mind before your eyes are drawn to the heart drawn over the 'I' in the title. 'I love you, always,' is written eloquently within the confines of the heart. <<talk "thought">>Huh, I wonder...<</talk>>\ You don't have time to finish the thought before Eve interrupts. <<talk "eve">>It was in the attic.

<<talk "player">>Sorry, right now I've got other things I need to do.<</talk>>\ ''You say dismissively.'' Almost as soon as the words leave your mouth, you turn your attention back to what you had been doing before. Eve seems to fidget, not sure what to do next, then quietly withdraws from the room.

You take a deep breath, unhappy that she's been snooping where she shouldn't be. <<talk "player">>You don't belong in the attic.<</talk>>\ ''You state, your voice raised.'' <<talk "player">>Go put it back.<</talk>>\ Eve stands there wide eyed for just a second, then turns and rushes off.

<<talk "player">>Lets go to the living room where we'll have more space.<</talk>>\ ''You suggest.'' Eve readily agrees, a spring in her step and excitement in her eyes as the two of you make your way to the living room. Opening up the box, you lay the board out and start to explain how the game works as you set everything up. Eve to her credit seems to pay careful attention, nodding when you say something and very occasionally asking a question. It's not long before you both have your beginning pieces on the board and are ready to begin playing. For the first round of the game, you both play very carefully, more of a way to ensure Eve understands the rules than out of any strategy on either of your parts. After the first round however, you both begin to play in earnest. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEve>><</link>> ''Scene generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 18 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<set $riskBoardgame to true>>\

For several rounds of the game, both of you move your pieces and purchase new ones with your own strategies in mind. Each move calculated in the hopes of leading to the other's defeat. However, in spite of your best efforts, neither of you makes any headway against the other. Every time you capture a space, it seems as if Eve recaptures it or gains a space somewhere else on the board. Every time you capture a space that belongs to her, she does the same to you. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

A series of several territories fall quickly to Eve's advances. You struggle to stay ahead of her, your troops wearing dangerously thin in key locations. Eve's keen gaze drifts over the table with just a hint of a maniacal grin on her lips. You're pretty sure that her most recent advances are by design rather than luck. <<talk "thought">>She's got a good mind for strategy games.<</talk>>\ ''You think to yourself, calculating your next move.'' <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

It seems like each round you advance a little somewhere, and then on Eve's turn she advances somewhere else. It takes you several rounds before you notice that she's been baiting you into investing more and more of your troops to a single region while she's slowly built up everywhere else. As soon as you realize what she is doing, you quickly change strategy in an attempt to recover before she can defeat you. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

After a particularly bad engagement, you find yourself wide open on one side of the territories you control. Eve doesn't even hesitate, she pours her forces into the gap created and starts overwhelming your defenses. One territory after another falls before her advances for several rounds before you're able to shore up your losses and start to turn the tide of the game. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

With your troops built up in a couple of locations, you start your advance on Eve's positions. A couple of her territories fall to you, bolstering your confidence. You decide to go all in, dropping a huge number of troops on the next space. Across from you, you can see Eve's grim expression as she watches. However, with every roll of the dice, her expression shifts just a little bit. Roll after roll, you loose troops, nothing seeming to go your way. What should have been a sure thing quickly turns into a rout. With just a few troops remaining in the region of the board, you withdraw, hoping that you can hold out against Eve's now superior numbers. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

You press her hard, keeping the pressure on as you slowly build up your forces Whenever you have enough troops to overwhelm one of her positions, you use them to crush another territory before building up again. For several rounds this strategy serves you well, but it's not long before you can see Eve positioning her troops to better meet your advances. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

The game becomes frantic, your positioning pieces in a desperate attempt to slow Eve's unexpected blitz into your territories. It's not long however before you notice just how thin she's stretching her troops. Taking advantage of how few troops she leaves in her wake, you use your next few turns carving a huge hole in her territories, taking back nearly everything you just lost plus a few of her former territories to more than make up for the losses you had just suffered. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

Every turn you make a point of placing one troop on a specific location on the board. The buildup is slow enough that Eve pays little attention to it until it's almost too late. By then she's faced with a choice, either continue facing off against the location you've been dropping the bulk of your troops, or the location you've been building up in slowly. As soon as you see her shift in strategy, you use your stockpile of troops to surge forward, taking a key territory from her as well as a number of less important spaces. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

A still seems to fall over the table. Both of you intent on the board separating you. Each turn, both of you place your troops, but instead of fighting, each of you seems intent to simply increase the size of your armies. When you finally make your move, both of you begin carving out massive swaths of the other person's territories. By the time both of you have exhausted your armies, half of the spaces on the board have changed hands but neither has gained any real advantage from when you both began. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

The game progresses several rounds. Each round, you take one or two territories, then on Eve's turn she either takes those places back or takes others from you. It seems like neither of you can gain any real advantage over the other. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

For a couple of turns, you feel like you're gaining an advantage over Eve. But every time you are ready to push your advantage, Eve will do something that stops you dead in your tracks. Each time you see a subtle smile on her face. <<talk "thought">>"Is she toying with me?<</talk>>\ <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>>

You can see Eve smirk, then lean forward. The front of her dress falls open to reveal a swath of flesh down her top. The fight is distracting enough that you nearly miss her next move. She uses your distraction to push her advantage, gaining several spaces on the board before you're able to stop her advance. <<talk "thought">>That clever little minx. She did that on purpose.<</talk>>\ <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 14 }>>

Eve takes several spaces on the board in rapid succession, then she grins. <<talk "eve">>Can you imagine all of these soldiers? Fighting day by day.<</talk>>\ She gestures at the board. <<talk "eve">>I bet they're so horny. Do you think they bring their own girls, or just fuck the girls in the areas they take over?<</talk>>\ You can tell from the look on her face that she's trying to get a rise out of you. <<talk "eve">>Are you going to ravish me if you win?<</talk>>\ Her words give you pause, wanting to retort, but unable to come up with anything to say. Instead, you try to focus your attention back on the game. <<link "Continue playing RISK.">><<gotoevent setup.events.RISKwithEveCore>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>>

With a series of attacks, sometimes hitting weak points with her few troops, sometimes by overwhelming her defenses with sheer force, Eve beats you back until you only control a small number of territories. You can see her building up her army, attacking you just often enough to keep you from building up your own troops. Once her army outnumbers your own by a significant number, she makes her move. Easily outnumbering you, she marches her forces forward, crushing your meager defenses in the last few spaces you still control until only her pieces remain on the board. A knowing grin grows on her lips as she surveys the board, her plans for world domination realized upon the table before her. <<talk "eve">>What was fun, can we play again?<</talk>>\ Eve says. You look at the table for a few seconds, then lean back in your seat. <<talk "player">>Another time, I think I've taken enough of a beating for now.<</talk>>\ You say in jest, having enjoyed the game. There's a little disappointment on her face, but she doesn't protest. For the next couple of minutes, the two of you gather up all of the pieces and put them away. The whole time you both talk about the game, complementing bits of strategy or boasting events from the game you just played. When everything is boxed up, Eve picks up the box as if it's something sacred. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for playing with me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Thank you for asking.<</talk>>\ You reply, watching her smile, then scurry off to put the game away.

When you see the opening in her defenses, you worry for a couple of rounds that she's trying to bait you into a trap. Unable to resist the temptation, you survey the table for any sign of her trap, you see no hint of trouble and decide to proceed. There's surprise in Eve's eyes as you suddenly push in the new direction. You capture several territories in just a few short turns and watch the tide begin to turn. Each territory strengthens your position while weakening Eve's position on the table. When you finally overwhelm her final position on the board, she smiles faintly. <<talk "eve">>I'll beat you next time.<</talk>>\ She says playfully. <<talk "player">>You'll try.<</talk>>\ You reply with a bit of amusement. Her expression seems to turn just a little more serious. <<talk "eve">>I had a lot of fun, thank you for playing with me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I had a lot of fun too.<</talk>>\ Talking and joking about the game you just played, you gather up all the pieces and help Eve put everything back in the box. With a smile and a goodbye, Eve tucks the box under her arm protectively and makes her exit.

There's an intensity in Eve's eyes as she pushes you on several fronts. It's slow going, but every turn she seems to take another space. No matter how hard you try to stop her creeping advance, nothing you do seems to slow her. It's not long before the game reaches a tipping point and your territories start to fall rapidly. You can see your defeat coming a mile away. As your final troop falls, you lean back in the seat. <<talk "player">>Well played.<</talk>>\ You tell her. She just grins a little larger. <<talk "player">>Lets get this put away, and I'll beat you next time.<</talk>>\ You jest. <<talk "eve">>You'll try!<</talk>>\ Eve retorts before helping you gather up all the pieces and putting everything away. Once you put the lid back on the box, Eve picks it up, clutching it to her chest where the first two letters of the word RISK are visible with the hand drawn heart over the I on full display. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for playing.<</talk>>\ She says, then turns and dashes from the room before you have time to reply. [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>\

You can sense the tide of the game beginning to shift. Slowly at first, Eve's territories begin to fall. Every time you take a space on the board, you make sure to shore up your position before pushing forward again. Little by little, the board slips increasingly under your control until you reach a point where the slow shift becomes a rapid advance until you've backed her into a corner of the board and have her outnumbered. It only takes a couple of turns to finish the game. Waves of your own troops hammering the few she has remaining until you finally defeat the final piece on the board. Eve smirks, looking at you with a twinkle in her eyes. <<talk "eve">>You know, I won't fall for that again.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>Fall for what?<</talk>>\ You wonder, but don't bother asking. With the game finally over, Eve seems to study the board for a little while, then she starts to gather up the pieces. You quickly join her in the task, both of you talking about the game you just played. When everything is back in the box, Eve picks it up, thanks you for a fun game, then slips from the room presumably to put the board game away.

Eve stifles a yawn, and you can see in her eyes that she's struggling to stay awake. As the minutes tick by, Eve begins to make increasingly poor decisions until you can tell that she's going to loose. It's around the time you see her head dip for the third time that you decide to say something. <<talk "player">>It looks like you're going to win anyway. I surrender...<</talk>>\ You comment, hoping that your conceding the game will be enough to avoid any argument from her. Eve looks at the board skeptically for a long time, you're waiting for her to protest before she finally says. <<talk "eve">>Well, at least you realized you were loosing now, it would have been embarrassing how you were about to loose.<</talk>>\ Part of you wants to laugh, but he confidence she says it with makes you give the board another look. You can't see anything that suggests she was about to turn the tide of the game, so you start to put the game away. Eve tries to help, but you can tell that she's just trying to stay awake at this point. <<talk "player">>Put the game away and head to bed, we can play again another evening.<</talk>>\ You tell her. Eve smiles, a fondness in her eyes as she tells you goodnight. When she starts for the door, you watch her go. She shambles off like a zombie as she goes. <<talk "thought">>Hope she makes it to bed alright.<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>\

The small laptop on the corner of the desk looks to be very old. Flipping open the lid, you press the start button. A small power light flickers to life and you can hear an uneven grinding sound that slowly becomes a soft hum that refuses to go away. //What a piece of junk,// You think, //I doubt this could even handle a game of solitaire, let alone play videos or play a real game.// It takes several minutes for the computer to fully turn on, Once it does, an icon pops up that asks if you want to log into the Internet. You click the button which is promptly answered with a new round of noises from the computer, //ding, ging, grrrrrrrr, bong, bong! Sksssssshhhhhhh// After the sound ends the whole sequence of sounds repeats. //Dialup,// You think with disgust, watching while it takes more than a minute to finally connect to the Internet. Clicking on the browser button, you watch as the browser pops up on the screen as if in slow motion, the frame appearing first, then one element at a time appearing on the page over the course of nearly a minute as the page loads. //If I'm going to actually use this very often, I might want to pick up a better computer and get some better Internet service.// Once the page is finally up, you consider what you want to do. Obviously, looking up videos or playing an online game is going to be impossible with this, but I might be able to look up the news or local events. So long as they don't have a bunch of animated gifs or anything like that on their sites at least. Look up: Local News (News will be added in a future update.) <<link "Earn money taking online surveys.">><<gotoevent setup.events.SurveyWorkStart>><</link>> [[Local Advertisements]]

<<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>>\ Seeing Rey's ad, you idly think to yourself. <<talk "thought">>People really should remove old ads once they've been replied to.<</talk>>\ [[Return to advertisements.|Local Advertisements]] <<else>>\ You find yourself sorting through various advertisements for cheap televisions and what are clearly stolen electronics for the price on offer. There isn’t too much out of the ordinary and not much up for grabs that seems too appealing, but you inexorably find your gaze drawn towards a listing for a… person? Clicking upon the link alleviates your confusion, but also peaks your interest. Someone is looking for a place to stay, that explains the vagueness of the listing. But what’s really fascinating is they say they’re willing to do absolutely anything for free room and board until they get back on their feet, preferably working at a wealthy household or a mansion. Well, you certainly fall under that criteria, now, and it could be fun to bring someone so desperate into the household to liven things up, there is however the risk they might be totally crazy and try to chop you to bits in the night. Well, at the very least it couldn’t hurt to meet with them. [[Arrange an interview?|Rey Intro 1a]] [[Maybe in the future.|Local Advertisements]] <</if>>\ ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>\

Your curiosity gets the better of you and, while you assure yourself that your interest isn’t entirely perverse in nature, you wonder if a part of you feels excited at the prospect of having another servant at the mansion. You send a short email informing your interest and location and get a reply almost instantly… desperate indeed. After a short exchange, the applicant reveals she can come over immediately for the interviewing process, and while their enthusiasm is appreciated, it still feels a tad desperate. [[Reconsider.|Rey Intro 1c]] [[Throw caution to The wind.|Rey Intro 1d]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>\

You inform the applicant, politely, that perhaps now isn’t the best time and you will reconvene with them at a future date. [[Continue.|Local Advertisements]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>\

You finalize the details of the arrangement when the applicant promises to arrive shortly. You gather your servants and await them with bated breath. Eventually, you hear a gentle knock at the door and inform Anna to allow the applicant inside. She slowly twists the knob and tugs the door open and you are left a tad awestruck by the sight you’re presented with. The woman’s face is, well there’s no better way to describe it, outright adorable, with a small, button nose, and pouty lips, large and curious, slanted eyes framed by long lashes… It’s like she’s stepped straight from an anime. Her hair is silky smooth and black as a cold winter’s night, tied up into a long, elegant ponytail that detracts from her beauty but that is a problem easily dealt with. It’s only when you inspect her further that you realize that she… is a he. You were so distracted by his cute face that you failed to notice his flat chest and masculine apparel. When he speaks, it does nothing but add to the odd illusion that he is somehow a woman, his lilting voice flowing like a gentle breeze carrying a dying bird within its embrace. \ [img[images/scenes/Rey.png]] \ The effeminate young man proclaims as Anna welcomes him inside with a polite curtsy. <<talk "rey">>I-I umm… I’m here about the ad… I’m Reymond… umm… Reymond Maisly, but my friends call me Rey… so am I at the… the right place? It seems nice.<</talk>>\ [[Polite greeting.|Rey Intro 1e]] [[Stern greeting.|Rey Intro 1f]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 28 }>>\ <<run $rey.addFlag("met")>>\

<<talk "player">>Yes, hello, Rey, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I’m glad you could come on such short notice.<</talk>>\ You say, walking forward and taking his hand in a welcoming grasp, amazed by how smooth his skin is. Not only does he have the complexion of a porcelain doll, he sort of feels like one as well. <<talk "player">>This is Anna and this is Eve, you’ll be working with them. This is a big estate and it takes a lot of people to keep it in tip top shape. I’m glad you like it here, truth be told I’m a bit overwhelmed and could use the help, I only just moved in after my uncle left it to me in his will.<</talk>>\ Rey’s eyes widen and he pipes up. <<talk "rey">>S-so your uncle is umm… he’s dead!?<</talk>>\ He seems a bit shocked and disappointed, oddly enough, as if there’s something he’s not saying. <<talk "rey">>I’m so s-sorry for your loss, Sir, but I’ll do my best I umm… know how to cook and stuff, I like baking, and I’m pretty limber and thin so… yeah, just whatever you need done while I try to find a real job.<</talk>>\ You give him a warm, reassuring smile and respond with. <<talk "player">>Well, as long as it keeps you from ending up on the street, you’re welcome to stay and work here. Anna and Eve have a lot of the bases covered, but I'm sure we can find something around here for you to do. Does that work for you?<</talk>>\ Rey nods eagerly, grasping your hands with both of his. <<talk "rey">>Oh, yes, of course, I don’t mind it at all, t-thank you so much, is t-that a yes?<</talk>>\ You think it over, mulling it in your mind, weighing the pros and cons. He doesn’t seem dangerous at all and probably weighs ten pounds soaking wet. His body seems like a fragile willow tree, ready to crack under the pressure, so you could easily do fair damage to him if he were to attack you. [[Hire him.|Rey Intro 1g]] [[Not interested.|Rey Intro 1h]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>\

<<talk "player">>Yes, welcome aboard.<</talk>>\ You say happily, Rey’s face lighting up as he leaps forward and hugs you without thinking, pulling away with an awkward expression. <<talk "rey">>I-I’m so sorry… I d-don’t know what came over me…<</talk>>\ He says, rubbing his arm. [[Don’t let it happen again.|Rey Intro 1i]] [[That’s alright, I’m glad you’re so thrilled.|Rey Intro 1j]] [[That was very nice…|Rey Intro 1k]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>> <<run $rey.addFlag("owned")>> <<run $rey.addFlag("arriving")>>

Taking a deep breath, you let it out slowly. <<talk "player">>I think maybe now isn't the right time to hire someone to help around the estate.<</talk>>\ You can see his feminine face fall, unshed tears forming in his eyes. <<talk "rey">>I understand.<</talk>>\ He says softly... <<talk "rey">>I, I understand....<</talk>>\ Without another word, he turns and heads for the door. You can see his shoulders slumped as he walks. When he closes the door, he looks at you but is not quite able to meet your eyes. <<talk "player">>Make sure he finds his way to the gate without trouble.<</talk>>\ You say to Anna. She nods and follows the feminine man out of the mansion. [[Continue.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>> <<set $rey.affection -= 25>> <<set $rey.fear += 25>>

You shake your head back and forth and give him a reassuring look. <<talk "player">>That’s alright, I’m glad you’re so thrilled to be here.<</talk>>\ You say to him, patting him on the shoulder. <<talk "player">> "Now when can you move in, do you have many possessions? Do you need any help?<</talk>>\ Rey shakes his head back and forth. <<talk "rey">>N-no, I’m fine, I don’t have that much, it shouldn’t take more than a day to get situated here…<</talk>>\ He says with a few awkward glances about the interior of the mansion. <<talk "rey">>Then the servants and I will give you a proper welcome, tomorrow.<</talk>>\ You say, showing him out the door as you contemplate the idea of your new live in help and just what exactly you’ll utilize him for. [[Go on with your business.|$location]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Your breath catches in your throat as time seems to stand still for a moment, wrapping your arms around Rey and returning the hug before letting him go, your cheeks rosy and your heart fluttering in place like a hummingbird spotting a dewy drop of nectar. You both part and you clear your throat, composing yourself and saying. <<talk "player">>Yes umm… Mmmhmm. That’s alright, I’m glad you’re so thrilled to be here.<</talk>>\ Patting him on the shoulder... <<talk "player">>Now when can you move in, do you have many possessions? Do you need any help with moving heavy things?<</talk>>\ Rey shakes his head back and forth. <<talk "rey">>N-no, I’m fine, I don’t have that much, it shouldn’t take more than a day to get situated here…<</talk>>\ He says with a few awkward glances up and down your body, his face as red as a tomato. <<talk "player">>Then the servants and I will give you a proper welcome, tomorrow.<</talk>>\ You say, showing him out the door as you contemplate the idea of your new live in gardner and just what exactly you’ll utilize him for as his attractive, feminine face and girly voice linger in your mind, as well as the soft touch of his gentle arms...

You fix a stern gaze upon him, gripping his twig-like arms and push him off you, watching him stumble back as you lorde over him with an imposing gait. <<talk "plauer">>Don’t let it happen again, understand?<</talk>>\ You reply disdainfully. <<talk "player">>While you live here, I am the master of this manor and you will treat me with respect, understand?<</talk>>\ Rey nods up and down quickly, trembling in place, his pouty lips quivering as he stammers. <<talk "rey">>Y-y-yes, s-sir, I understand… I-I won’t do it a-again a-and thank you f-for letting me stay…<</talk>>\ You tilt your head upwards, just looking at him for a while before responding. <<talk "player">>I expect you fully moved in by tomorrow or the offer is off the table, do not keep me waiting, Rey.<</talk>>\ You say, before turning your back on him and letting the girls escort him out without another word. [[Go on with your business.|$location]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>> <<set $rey.affection -= 25>> <<set $rey.fear += 25>> <<set $rey.trust -= 25>>

You clasp your hands behind your back and walk towards Rey, walking around him in circles like a shark with the scent of blood lingering in the water. <<talk "player">>You’ll do, I suppose.<</talk>>\ You say in a blank but stern tone. <<talk "player">>I am in charge of this Manor and I’d like you to call me…<</talk>>\ [[You may call me by my name.|Rey Intro 1l][$rey.fear -= 25, $rey.callsPlayer to $player.firstName]] [[You will call me Master.|Rey Intro 1m][$rey.fear += 25, $rey.callsPlayer to "Master"]] ''By FaetheMaid'' <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>By <<print $rey.callsPlayer>> from here on, no need for us to be so formal. I am the lord and master of this manor but I am not without my kindness.<</talk>>\ You say, keeping an air of firmness about you, but manage to come off tough, yet fair. You take a step back and gesture to your girls. <<talk "player">>This is Anna and this is Eve, you’ll be working with them from here on. This is a large estate, and it takes a lot of people to keep it all in top shape. Truth be told, I’m a bit overwhelmed and could use the extra help. I only just moved into this rather spacious abode after my uncle left it to me in his will.<</talk>>\ Rey’s eyes widen and he pipes up. <<talk "rey">>S-so your uncle is umm… he’s dead!?!<</talk>>\ He seems a bit shocked and disappointed, oddly enough, as if there’s something he’s not saying. <<talk "rey">>I’m so s-sorry for your loss, Sir, but I’ll do my best I umm… know how to cook and stuff, I like baking, and I’m pretty limber and thin so… yeah, just whatever you need done while I try to find a real job.<</talk>>\ You give him a a reassuring gaze. <<talk "player">>Well, as long as it keeps you from ending up on the street, you’re welcome to stay and work here, I suppose.

He doesn’t seem dangerous at all and probably weighs ten pounds soaking wet. His body seems like a fragile willow tree, ready to crack under the pressure, so you could easily do fair damage to him if he were to attack you. In the end you decide… [[Seems like a good opportunity.|Rey Intro 1n]] [[It’s just not worth the risk.|Rey Intro 1h]] ''By FaetheMaid''

<<talk "player">>...master from this day forward, is that understood?<</talk>>\ You ask, leering down at him with a stone-like demeanor. Rey shuffles his feet in place, looking at the ground before responding with a quiet. <<talk "rey">>Y-yes, Master, I understand…<</talk>>\ As he trembles like a lonely sailboat, lost all alone at seat. You tilt your head upwards, just looking at him for a while before responding. <<talk "player">>I expect you fully moved in by tomorrow or the offer is off the table, do not keep me waiting, Rey.<</talk>>\ You say, turning your back on him as you walk slowly away from him. <<talk "rey">>Y-yes m-master, I p-promise I won’t let you down!<</talk>>\ He calls out after you before the girls escort him out of the building and send him on his way.

I can give a lot more than this if you would like, but I tend to hand out new code in bite sized bits so people don't feel overwhelmed. If you decide you don't want to add code when you write, that's fine, I'm happy to change things as I go, but things like this does save me a little time. What Rey calls the player: <<print $rey.callsPlayer>> Adds +1 to Affection stat: <<set $rey.affection += 1>> Subtracts -1 from Affection stat: <<set $rey.affection -= 1>> Adds +1 to Fear stat: <<set $rey.fear += 1>> Subtracts -1 from Fear stat: <<set $rey.fear -= 1>> Adds +1 to Trust stat: <<set $rey.trust += 1>> Subtracts -1 from Trust stat: <<set $rey.trust -= 1>> Adds indicated time: <<addtime { minute : 1 }>> Notes: -Increasing/decreasing stats by more than 1 only requires that you change the number. I usually reserve big shifts in stats for the intro (Thus letting your choices shift the NPCs behavior toward your play style) or very significant events. For normal scenes, changing in increments of one is preferable, though for more meaningful choices up to three. -Not every item needs to have all stats change. Stat changes should reflect that the choice/action was something that would actually affect that. -Time increments can be changed by swapping the 1 in the example for any other number. The number indicates the number of minutes that will pass. For dialog, I time myself reading the scene at a casual pace and add about 50% to that, rounded up to the nearest minute. For other things I try to visualize how long it takes and do similar. Mostly it's just a judgment call on how long something should take.

Using the remote, you turn the television back off then get up off the couch. The leather creaks softly in your wake. After sitting the remote back on the table, you move away from the sitting area. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

For a couple of minutes, you watch the credits scroll. Eventually though you realize you have to get up sooner or later. Pressing the power button on the remote, the screen goes blank. Casually, you toss the remote onto the short table in front of the couch, then stand up. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You leave the television on just long enough to see what's going to play next. Seeing that it's nothing interesting, you press the power button causing the screen to go black before getting up. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You don't quite motivate yourself to get up when the credits start to roll at the end of your program. More listening to the music play than actually looking at the words scrolling past. Once the credits have finished playing, the inevitable commercials begin to play. You chuckle softly at the antics in a couple of them, but don't pay much mind to the products presented. When the next show begins to play, you groan when you see what it is. Reaching for the remote, you turn the television off before the starting credits can even finish. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Realizing that your show is nearing it's end, you pick up the remote. When the movie is finally over you press the button to turn off the television. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

The show you have been watching finally reaches it's conclusion. Even before the credits start, you bring up the tv guide and scroll through what is coming on next. Not seeing anything that catches your interest right away, you turn the television off. [[Get up from the couch.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

You don't notice Anna enter the room, or even notice her presence until she steps around the couch near you. Looking up at her, she gives you a warm smile, then sits delicately on the couch right beside you. When you put your arm up over the back of the couch, Anna takes it as invitation to scoot a little closer, leaning against your side. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see a happy, yet thoughtful look on her face. When the show you are watching ends, Anna sits back up. <<talk "anna">>Thank you for allowing me to sit with you for a while, but I should go check on my sister.<</talk>>\ For a second she looks like she's going to say something more, but then she turns and starts to walk away. You follow her progress toward the room's exit, seeing a little smile on her lips, and her left hand resting over her heart. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 28 }>>

The door to the living room opens behind you, momentarily drawing your attention away from the television. Eve smiles when she sees you and does a little wave in greeting before walking energetically to the couch. <<talk "eve">>Anna is busy and I was bored, so I came looking for my other favorite person in the whole world.<</talk>>\ You feel a little amusement at her statement. She must take your expression as invitation because she hops onto the couch right beside you. At first, she scoots close to you. Then she seems to think better of it and crawls into your lap instead. <<talk "player">>Aren't you a little big to be crawling into people's lap?<</talk>>\ You ask, more amused than anything else. <<talk "eve">>I'm tiny, and you know it.<</talk>>\ Eve says with a smirk, then her expression falls suddenly. Sensing as much as seeing the change, you feel the need to ask. <<talk "player">>Are you ok?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I should be all grown up like my sister, instead I look like a little kid.<</talk>>\ She starts to climb out of your lap, but you slip your arms around her. <<talk "player">>There's nothing wrong with the way you are... It makes you, you.<</talk>>\ She looks up at you, searching your features with a serious expression for several seconds. A moment later her expression softens and she settles back into your lap. The two of you sit in silence as the program playing on the television progresses. Once the credits start to run, Eve puts her arms around you and gives you a surprisingly fierce hug given her small size. Without another word she races for the exit of the living room. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 35 }>>

Sitting on the couch, you hear the sound of the door of the room opening. Almost immediately you hear it close again. Glancing over your shoulder toward the exit of the room, you see no sign of whoever it might have been. <<talk "thought">>Must have seen me and left?<</talk>>\ You wonder who it might have been. After a moment, you turn your attention back to the television to finish your program. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 58 }>>

For about an hour you watch the television. Eventually though, the show ends. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 57 }>>

You only half watch the show playing on the television as you sit on the couch relaxing. At first you think it must have been a short show, but when you glance at a clock you realize that about an hour has passed. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 61 }>>

Watching the television, you find yourself stifling the occasional yawn as the show progresses. <<talk "thought">>Must be late, I'm getting tired.<</talk>>\ Not long after that thought crosses your mind, the credits start to play at the end of the show. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 44 }>>

You find yourself enjoying the show you have selected on the television. Swept up in what you are watching, it feels as if almost no time has passed before the credits start to scroll across the screen an hour later. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 59 }>>

Relaxing where you sit in the couch, you barely pay attention to the television. Instead the soft noise creates a sort of ambiance as you absently reflect on recent events. You finally focus on the show around the time the show nears it's end. When the credits begin to scroll, you resign yourself to the realization that it's time to get back up off of the couch. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 61 }>>

You don't even hear Eve enter the room, the first indication that she's present is when she crawls into the seat beside you. Your eyes leave the screen to look at her. <<talk "player">>Shouldn't you be in bed?<</talk>>\ She makes a pouty face. <<talk "eve">>Not you too. I just want to sit with you for a little while.<</talk>>\ She complains. With a little sigh, you feel any fight go out of you. <<talk "thought">>Alright, just for a little bit.<</talk>>\ Grinning, Eve crawls into your lap, curling up like a child half her size would and buries her face against your chest. Instinctively you put your arms around her, enjoying the feel of her warmth pressed against your body. Meanwhile, the show you were watching continues to play. You begin to think that Eve has fallen asleep in your lap, but when the show nears it's end, she stirs. <<talk "eve">>I should get to bed.<</talk>>\ She confesses, giving you one fierce hug before slipping from your arms. With a spring in her step, she smiles at you, then dashes for the door, presumably to go to bed. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 52 }>>

While channel surfing, you see Anna enter the room and approach. A shy little smile touches her lips as she sits on the other side of the couch. With her eyes on the television, she seems fully engrossed in the show. A few minutes later, Eve enters the room too. Her foot steps draw you around the edge of the couch toward her sister. Once there, Eve sits in her sister's lap and curls up like a small child seeking comfort. You can't make out what Anna says, but Eve replies with a muttered. <<talk "eve">>Tummy hurts.<</talk>>\ Before snuggling a little closer. <<talk "player">>Eve isn't feeling well?<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you and opens her mouth, clearly intending to reply but her sister beats her to it. <<talk "eve">>Girl problems.<</talk>>\ Eve says as she gives you a weak smile. <<talk "thought">>Having her period?<</talk>>\ You think, nodding your understanding. In the minutes that follow, you return your attention to the television, Eve leaving shortly before the show ends, and Anna following as the credits begin. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 32 }>>

Deciding to take a break from what you are doing, you sit down on the large black leather couch that makes the centerpiece of the living room's furniture. The leather creaks softly as you lean forward to pick up the television remote control, then you lean back and turn the wall mounted television on. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Picking up the remote from the small table in front of the black leather couch, you plop down into the couch to the sound of creaking leather. You take just a moment to enjoy the comfortable couch before lifting the television remote to turn the device on. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You walk over to the short table in front of the couch, picking up the television remote. Pressing the power button, you turn the television on and surf the channels for a few seconds before something catches your eye. With the remote still in hand, you take a seat on the couch, enjoying the way you sink into the comfortable leather. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Once the television is on, you half sit, half fall into the couch. Slouching, you settle in to watch the show you have selected. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You pick up the remote and remain standing as you flick through the channels. When you finally find a show you want to watch, you adjust the volume before sitting the remote back down. It only takes a step to reach the couch where you sit down to enjoy your show. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchMid>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Upbeat music plays as a camera pans over a small residential, it suddenly pans down. The shot changes to show a young woman, smiling as she leaves her home. In typical anime fashion, the tune slowly turns ominous as it shows small shots of her surrounded by monsters, she faces a massive creature with a bloody face and determination in her eyes. Another shot she's walking happily with several other women, heading toward a large building. Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. As the intro ends, the scene switches to show two girls, one with long black hair and the other with short brown hair, walking along a residential road. //Come on Suki, it's not like it'll kill you or anything. Learn to live a little.// One of the girls speaks. The other just shakes her head. //The intro is a bit vague, I hope it's not another slice of life show. Though, the animation style looks good, they certainly put a lot of effort into the intro sequence.// You sigh, hoping it's not just another slice of life show with the false promise of an intriguing plot. The two friends continue walking, unaware that their lives were about to be forever changed. A moment later, a bright flash can be seen in the distance, suddenly growing brighter as it moves closer to the girls. They react in amazement, confusion then fear as it engulfs them all in a few seconds. For a few minutes, the screen flashes white then dims before revealing the scene. The black hair girl was thrown back several feet, bleeding from her nose and lost consciousness. She begins to wake, moving her body. She looks around, trying to find her friend. But a few feet away lies the short hair girl, blood spewing from a hole in her stomach, coughing up a few spurts. The other girl desperately drags herself over to her friend, eyes wide in shock. //Suki! No, please wake up Suki!// Her mind refuses to accept that her friend is dying. //I don't know what to do, please don't die!// She yells while hopelessly searching for her phone. //A.k.i// Suki coughs up another spurt of blood as she tries to call out to her friend, the pool around her growing bigger and bigger as time passes. Her friend doing everything she can to save her. Suki's vision blurs, the girls mind slowly letting go as less and less oxygen makes it to her brain. //I'm sorry Suki, I'm so sorry.// Aki apologizes repeatedly to Suki, tears streaming down her face. As she's mourning over her friend a shadow appears, Aki looks up to see the outline of someone. //I was too late, seems my power grows weaker as I get older.// The person kneels over Suki, revealing themselves to be a woman, old in age. The woman looks to Aki then to the lifeless Suki. Aki's eyes grow wide. //Please, you have to help her!// She pleads with the older woman, voice full of desperation. The older woman shakes her head. //I can't, her soul, it's no longer in this realm. I'm sorry.// She tries to soothe the distraught Aki, but the girl refuses to accept that and tightly grabs hold of the woman. //Please!// Aki breaks down crying. //You want to save your friend that bad?// The woman asks. //Fine, I'm old and brittle, my power's weakened.// She sighs, suddenly stabbing herself in the chest. Her blood splashing all over Suki's body, Aki looks up in horror. //What, what are you doing?!// She screams. //Saving your friend// The older woman responds. //When she wakes, tell her that everything she needs to know will come to her in her memories.// She explains before ripping a jewel out. She inspects it, then places it on Suki's chest. A moment later, her body absorbs the jewel. //What did you do??// Aki asks, bewildered by the bizarre scene unfolding before her. //Giving, your friend, another chance. Good. Luck.// The older woman wishes Aki good luck, her body disappearing in a flash of light seconds later. An explosion can be heard in the distance, startling Aki. She looks out toward the city, noticing huge fires ravaging it. //Oh no, what's happening?// Entranced by the destruction, Suki suddenly breathes, coughing as she sucks in air. //SUKI!!// Aki throws herself at her friend, pulling Suki into a tight embrace. //What, what happened?// Suki asks, looking around in confusion. //You, you were dead and, and someone saved you!// Aki exclaims, pulling herself off her friend. //Right! She left an extremely vague message for you. Something about your memory.// Suki stares at Aki when suddenly she clasps her head in pain. //To whoever receives this power, you must use to defend Humanity and call upon the Qaenel. They'll teach you everything you need to know.// Suki abruptly gets up, her eyes glazed over. Her entire body is enveloped in a bright light. Once the light disappears, Aki stares on in disbelief as Suki appears wearing a new outfit, sporting two animal ears and a long red scarf. Her injuries completely healed. //What is this??// Suki inspects her body, looking over her attire then looks to her friend. Aki shrugs just as another explosion occurs in the city. //I, I have to go.// Something awakens in Suki, she looks to her friend before rushing forward, leaving behind a confused Aki. Momentarily dazed from Suki's sudden departure, the black haired girl shakes her head, resolving herself to chase after her friend. Suki sprints into the city, looking around, she can see entire buildings collapsed and others set ablaze. People stumbling around while trying to escape the destruction. Straight ahead she spots a little girl sitting in the middle of the street, crying. Just then a blast hits a building behind the girl and it immediately crumble over top her. The transformed Suki lunges toward the girl, shielding her with her own body just as huge chunks of debris rain down on them. Giant clouds of smoke cover much of the area, dissipating into the air a moment later, revealing both an unharmed young girl and Suki. A small crowd gathers around, cheering for them. //W-What happened??// Suki looks on in disbelief but is cut short when a monster suddenly lands in front of her. //Well, well. You finally decided to show your cowardly self, Demon Hunter.// The monster spits out the last few words. Suki can sense anger and rage from the creature as it stares at her. //Why are you doing this?!// Suki gestures to the burning city around them. //Give yourself up!// The crowd joins in, chanting for the thing to surrender itself. //Ahahahaha!// The monster bursts out cackling. //You really think I caused all this and lured you out here, just to surrender myself?// The fiend continues to laugh. //You're a fool Demon Hunter, one that'll die by my hands!// Suddenly it dives forward, arm shifting into a demonic looking blade as the thing thrusts it at Suki. Suki's body moves on it's own, her arm deflecting the creatures blade. Her other arm comes up, fist clenched as it smashes into the things face. A blueish flame unexpectedly leaps out from her gauntlet and engulfs the fiend. The monster screams as the fire completely burns its body, seconds later there's nothing left of it but ashes. The people gathered around her break out clapping, shouting words of praise at her. She looks around, a smile breaking out on her face as the crowd cheers for her. Her vision starts to blur, her mind grows dazed and she passes out without warning. The screen goes dark, then the outro plays. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>> Submitted by Irish Major Tom<<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E2">>

Upbeat music plays as a camera overlooks a small residential, it suddenly pans down. The shot changes to show a young woman, smiling as she leaves her home. In typical anime fashion, the tune slowly turns ominous as it shows small shots of her surrounded by monsters, she faces a massive creature with a bloody face and determination in her eyes. Another shot she's walking happily with several other women, heading toward a large building. Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. The camera pans in to show an organic, egg-shaped pod, inside it lies an utterly disgraced and sexual broken Demon Hunter. Several hellish, nightmare-like hours have passed, Suki's body being remodeled further in that time. A section of the flesh pod parts, revealing the broken and changed heroine, the tattoo etched into her body above her womb emanating a corruptive glow. The Demoness Sugar enters the room, wheeling in a sarcophagus-like, egg-shaped device with several doctors following her. She stops a few feet away from Suki's cocoon and removes the cover from the coffin-like device, inside it is fleshy tissue melded together to the metal. //Let's get this started shall we, it's time for this pigs final "phase".// Suki is extracted from the pod and inserted into the sarcophagus of flesh and metal. Her wrists, ankles and neck are restrained so she can't move if she wakes up. With her skin exposed to the fresh air, indecent gasps were steadily leaking out from the Demon Hunters slightly parted lips. //Nnh, aah… Uu, u… Auh, hah.// Her whole body was burning hot, skin tinged red as it glistened with sweat that smelled of an intense female desire, her nether region leaks love juice. Cording with needle tips are pulled out from the metal part of the device and pierce Suki's quivering body, the areas that they are stuck into, arms, stomach, thighs, neck and head are pulsating. Two tentacles with thin hair-like fibers inside suction cups made of a mucous membrane, emerge from the organic portion and attach themselves to Suki's breasts, eliciting a slutty moan from the passed out girl as they torture and suck on her nipples. //Haaah, aah, nnh… Fuu, fuh, uu… aah, ah.// Suki's legs are fixed into a bow-legged position and many tentacles swarm to her sopping wet slit, stimulating the budding flower. Various appendages are squirming, causing shameful juices to splash noisily as they penetrate her folds and anus, thrusting all the way to her womb and intestines. A milking machine-like tentacle filled with more, smaller hair-like tendrils, springs out from the flesh tissue and rushes to her clitoris. The appendage clings tightly to her clit and at the same time they suck on it, she was tortured by the countless thin tentacles within the clear container. One of the doctors grabs another tentacle from the cover they had removed, one with a breathing mask attached to it and places the thing over Suki's mouth, the tentacle mask seals tightly onto her face. //Nh, nguu, haah… Fu, fuu, ah… Aahhh.// Each time the tentacles inserted in her snatch and anus swell, and her clitoris and nipples were played with by the milking appendages, Suki's unconscious body twisted painfully left and right. Her breathing becomes wild as she gasps for air with each new orgasm the torture brings on. //Ngah, guu, nnh… Haa, haa, nuu… Fuh, fuu.// The fleshy tissue above the passed out Suki's head twitches, squirming and writhing, as if waiting for something. The organic material suddenly shifts, forming into what looks like the mouth of a worm about to swallow the Demon Hunter. //Ahaha, what a hopeless looking pig you are "Suki". Cumming while we're still setting everything up, we haven't even started yet. Tsk, tsk, tsk.// The Demoness looks down at the sleeping Suki, the heroines body trembling as it endures orgasm after orgasm. A smile of contempt stretches across Sugar's face. The needles piercing Suki's faintly glow, at the same time the jewel in her chest quivers, her skin squirming as its energy is sucked out by the cables. A sharp pain pierces Suki's brain and she suddenly lets out a blood curdling scream as the jewel inside her body cracks. //Ufufu, poor Suki, that must have been quite painful. But don't worry, from here on out it'll be nothing but pure pleasure for you!// The Demoness laughs, sincerely happy at the results of her experiments. //At this very moment your closest friend is also being trained by my sister! She has spent these past few days turning her into a plaything, one our mistress has allowed her to keep. It just warms my heart remembering the expression on your face when you found that out.// Sugar sneers at Suki, who was unable to respond as the Demoness taunts and ridicules the trapped heroine. The part of flesh that had taken the shape of a worms mouth moved, and completely swallows the head of Suki. Subsequently, a clear solution starts to pour into the casket of flesh and metal that the Demon Hunter was placed inside. The solution increased in volume extremely quickly, soon covering Suki's body in seconds. The tentacle mask attached to her face allowing her to breath even with her body completely submerged in the transparent fluid. Muffled gasps can be heard from inside the worm-like flesh covering her head. Suki's body quaked and shivered miserably, causing the surface of the solution to ripple. //Close it up, seal her in tight!// Sugar barks orders to the doctors around her. The cover to Suki's sarcophagus of flesh is slowly laid over top of it, locking the Demon Hunter completely inside the casket. //Hieeeeeee!!!// Suki's slutty voice of orgasm could somewhat be heard, muffled by the tightly sealed, coffin-like pod. //See you later, my little Demon slut pig. Kehehehe.// Sugar bids the trapped heroine farewell. At the same time, in the next room over, the other Demoness Spice enters. A naked Aki immediately scrambles off the floor and over to her mistress. //Mistress Spice!// Aki kneels at Spice's feet, bowing to the Amazonian Demoness. //Stand.// Spice's commanding voice reverberates through the room, not wanting to disobey her mistress, Aki does as she says and stands. The smaller woman waits for the Demonesses next order, flaunting her bare body for the Amazonian woman. //It is time.// The Demoness pulls out a fleshy looking worm-like creature. //Swallow this whole, no chewing.// She holds it out to Aki, staring at her until she takes it. Aki stares at the worm in disgust, revolted by the sight of it. //Y-You want me to put this in my mouth, mistress?// She looks up at Spice with pleading eyes. The Demoness nods her head in affirmation. Sighing, Aki tilts her head back, opens her mouth wide and drops the worm-like creature into her mouth. The thing slides down her throat, coating it in a thick mucus. Through sheer willpower and fearing the Demoness standing in front of her, Aki holds back her gag reflexes. A moment later the creature reaches her stomach, suddenly everything goes dark and Aki passes out. The camera returns to the room with the encased Suki, an impatient Sugar pacing back and forth as several hours have passed when suddenly one of the doctors alerts her. One of the consoles beeps, signifying the completion of the final phase. //Looks like Suki's "awakening" is completed, let's see.// The Demoness gestures for the men to remove the lid, they do as she commands. The cover is slowly removed, inside the solution which she had been submerged in has disappeared. Even the tentacles used to torment her body were gone as well, the Demon Hunter's body tinged The tumours growth covering her head, returns to its original position, Suki's distorted face, who had been forced to climax non-stop for several hours is revealed. //Ahaha, look at you. Such a filthy looking pig slut. I hope you enjoy your new body, "Pig Slut Suki!"// The Demoness Sugar looks on excitedly at the sleeping Demon Hunter. //We’re ready to infuse the last bit of the Demon Lord's agent into the "Jewel" that's in her chest.// One of the Doctor's pulls out another tentacle, one with a large round container filled with a pure white essence. //Do it.// Sugar nods and the medical staffer walks over to a console beside the coffin-like pod. He pushes a few buttons and suddenly the appendage shudders, then lets out a shrill cry. An eerie, ominous looking fluid travels up it's length and spreads through the essence stored inside it. The black substance spreads through the white essence, bathing it in pure corruption. Soon after the contents of the container start bubbling, the color of it changing to a shade of black with a purple tint to it. //It's done mistress, shall I begin the final infusing process?// The doctor looks up from the console, notifying the Demoness. Sugar nods, her attention focused of Suki. The man presses a large round button and several thin tendrils explodes from the tip of the appendage, it then surges forward, attaching itself in between Suki's breasts. The tendrils sink into her flesh, searching for the cracked jewel. The creature finds it and the thinner tentacles piercing her skin, wrap around the jewel. //Beginning the process.// The doctor calls out before hitting another button. A thick needle slides out of the appendage and penetrates Suki's skin. The screen fades to black, the outro begins and a sad melody plays as Suki wanders down a road, the sun setting in the distance. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E11">>

Upbeat music plays as a camera overlooks a small residential, it suddenly pans down. The shot changes to show a young woman, smiling as she leaves her home. In typical anime fashion, the tune slowly turns ominous as it shows small shots of her surrounded by monsters, she faces a massive creature with a bloody face and determination in her eyes. Another shot she's walking happily with several other women, heading toward a large building. Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. The scene fades in to show a cruel grin stretching across Sugar's face as the blackened matter flows through the needle and into Suki's body. In a mere few minutes, the substance is drained from its container and into the jewel. //Hmm, her body hasn't changed. Why??// The Demoness turns to face the medical staffer, eyes full of rage. //W-We're unsure ma'am, her compatibility with the Demon Lord's is off the charts. The Demon Hunter's mind is most likely, subconsciously still trying to fight it. She might just need a catalyst to push her over the edge!// Fearing for his life, the man talks fast, trying to explain the situation to Sugar. //Very well then, my sister better be finished with her task.// Sugar sighs in annoyance. //Let's get this over with, wake her up at least.// She gestures at the medical staff to awaken the sleeping Suki. Suki's eyelids suddenly open in a robotic-like motion, her eyes glazed over. //Stand up, my pig slut.// Sugar barks commands to Suki, who follows them like a puppet. The Demon Hunter stood up in silence, waiting for her next command. //Now, who is your…// Sugar is cut off midsentence by Suki's sudden movements, the now free heroine lunges forward, weak blue flames engulfing her fist. Suki slams her clenched hand into Sugar's stomach, sending the Demoness flying back several feet. Suki looks around, searching for a way to escape. Straight ahead lies an open part of the room of flesh, she dashes out of the room and down a hallway. The Demon Hunter spends several minutes exploring the branching hallways while avoiding the Demons looking for her. For a moment her mind panics but she finds an elevator. Several Demons spot the weakened heroine and chase her down the hall, Suki manages to get into the elevator before they reach her. Hitting the ground floor button, it takes her up. A moment later it opens, and she finds herself in the college she once attended. //W-What, how is this possible?!// Suki looks around in utter shock, the moonlight shinning through the windows she use to walk by every day. // I have to get out of here!// Remembering the Demons chasing after her, the Demon Hunter rushes out of the building and bolts straight home, the cold breeze brushing against her skin barely registering in her mind. Suki barely makes it home, gasping for breath as she leans against the door to her and Aki's house. //haah, hah, I can't do this anymore… I-I should just end it all, there's no point.// Tears stream down her face, the dejected Demon Hunter sobs. //My, my, my what do we have here? A Demon pig slut who has seemed to have lost her way. Won't you return to your rightful mistress?// A familiar female voice calls out to her from behind, cackling as it hurls insults at the broken heroine. //J-Just leave me alone, I didn't ask for this! Please!// Suki pleads with the woman behind her. The woman laughs again and approaches Suki, she turns around. //A-Aki?! No…// She comes face to face with her once best friend, Aki, and falls to her knees. //That's right, it's me Suki. Kekeke.// Aki grabs Suki by the throat and lifts her off the ground. //Now be a good little bitch and become my property already!// Aki suddenly jabs her hand into the Demon Hunters stomach, she pulls it out a moment later and the hole in Suki's abdomen slowly heals. //Yes, yes, yes!! Accept our lords gift! Let it consume you like it did this filthy vessel!// Aki then kisses Suki, as their lips touch, a strange and corrupted power fills the Demon Hunter. Aki's sudden appearance is the final straw for the degraded and humiliated Suki. A darkened light fills the air around her, body lifting off the ground, as if suspended by invisible strings. The Demon Hunters body warps, a Demonic aura emanates from her body. Out of the middle of her forehead grows a single, large horn, as black as the corruptive powers raging through her. Suki's eyes darken, their natural color giving way to a new shade of blackened purple. Her Demon Hunter attire changes to fit her corrupted soul. Her transformation ends, her outfit and body changed to suit Suki's new Demonic personality. //Ahahaha, who is your mistress, pig slut?// Aki looks on, enjoying the Demon Hunters fall from grace and asking who she belongs to. //Maiko is my mistress.// Suki obeys, replying in a sultry voice. //Ufufu, good little slut, let's go. We have a world to conquer, for our Demon Lord.// The Demon possessing Aki walks away with Suki trailing behind her. The camera pans out to show the city on fire, infernos raging everywhere as the occasional explosion is set off, sirens blaring. Demon's can be seen flying around the taller buildings, carrying people off into the distance. The screen fades to black, the outro begins and a sad melody plays as Suki wanders down a road, the sun setting in the distance. You grab the remote and consider changing the channel, but the outro ends and the screen fading back in. A few months have passed since the city was declared lawless, criminals of all kinds having taken refuge after the Demons made it their own. In that time, a new Demon Hunter academy was erected on the outskirts, located in the nearby mountains. Around it are several training courses, surrounding the place was a forest of large trees, preventing those from seeing it from above and keeping it out of site from any nearby roads. //Attention!// One of the Demon Hunters calls out, ordering them to line up for inspection. Seven female students line up in a row and bow, Suki slowly moves forward in front of the fledgling Hunters. They were all young women with a high compatibility to the powers of the Qanael, one's she had brough up under her personal care. Suki walked past each of the students, checking their faces one by one. //Good morning students, you all look energetic today. Let's do our best this week, just like every other week.// A satisfied grin stretches across Suki's face as the students answer in unison. Suki narrows her eyes at the Hunters in front of her, a sadistic grin creeping into her expression. While looking at the young women standing in front of her. //Strip naked.// She signals them in a gentle tone. Without hesitation, both hands of the students move to their chests and simultaneously they take off the Demon Hunter suits they are wearing. The female Hunters were completely alike, fully in the nude. The sun shimmered off their soft, pure skin. They all looked perfectly normal except, just like Suki, in place where their pubic mounds begin to bulge sits a tattoo in the shape of a womb, etched into their skin. Each one faintly glowing as corrupted power emanating from them. Suki steps back, admiring the toned, beautifully proportioned bodies. Her expression turned to one of pure sadistic joy, revealing her twisted personality. //Ufufu, very good. You all look quite lovely, you'll serve our master quite well.// After her transformation at the hands of the Demoness sisters, the very concept of Demon Hunting took on a new meaning. //With this, all students have been successfully "awakened".// Suki, who had turned around, bows to someone. The screen fades to black and the show ends. A preview for the next season plays for a few seconds, showcasing several new characters and villains. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E1">>

It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. //Where did you run off to?!// Aki clings to her best friend, tears in her eyes. She tightly embraces Suki, refusing to let go. //I'm fine Aki, I just had to take care of something.// Suki pries Aki off her, then walks to her room. //Oh no, we're going to be late for class!// She notices the time, rushing to gather her things. Suki grabs her satchel bag and dashes out the door with Aki in tow. After some running, they make it to a large building. //I still can't believe we got accepted to the same college, we even have two of the same classes together.// Aki giggles as the two women enter the building. They make their way to their class, stopping just short of the door. //Ready?// Suki looks to Aki. They both nod and enter, Suki first with Aki entering after her. The girls prepare themselves for a lecturing from the teacher but none comes. //Huh, where's the teacher??// The two are baffled by the lack of teaching staff but take their seats, chatting amongst themselves. A few minutes pass and suddenly a new figure enters the room, all the students look at the new person. In walks a tall, caramel skinned, Amazonian looking woman. Garbed in a white blouse and pencil skirt. //Woah, she has to be at least seven feet tall!// Aki stares in disbelief as the woman stands at the podium in the front of the room. //Good afternoon, as of today I will be taking over as your professor. The previous one has fallen ill and it'll be some time before he's well enough to resume teaching at this college.// She pauses for a moment to let the class digest this sudden change. //My name is Komi.// The Amazonian woman introduces herself as Komi. The rest of the day is spent in a buzz, classes shifting around while the new professor settles in quickly. The students take an immediate liking to her. The day comes to an end and the two friends find themselves alone in the classroom. //So, you ever going to tell me what happened that day??// Aki whispers to Suki, but before she can reply. The new professor returns to the room. //Ah, Aki, just the person I was looking for. I need to speak with you for a moment, if you'd follow me please.// Komi gestures to follow her. Aki looks to Suki who just shrugs, the two disappear out the door. Suki packs up her notebooks and leaves the room, glancing back for a quick moment before leaving. Suki is exiting the building when a bright flash of light appears followed by someone screaming, another monster suddenly appears, one that has hundreds of tentacles sprouting from its back and twelve eyes. //This thing looks like it'll be a tough opponent. Transform!// Suki transforms into her Demon Hunter attire. The Demon launches its tentacles at the people still standing around, they coil around the women and pull them toward the fiend. Suki dashes forward, cutting all the appendages. As she's about to slash the last one, the Demon Hunter is caught off guard as several tentacles burst out of the ground and grab hold of her, they wrap around her arms and legs, tightening their grip. Completely immobilizing Suki. Another wraps itself around her neck as she struggles to free herself, it pinches her throat, cutting off her breathing for a second. Unable to breathe and the pain becoming unbearable, Suki gives up. //Bahahaha! Look at you, filthy Demon Hunter, you're so gullible.// The Demon cackles. //I'm going to enjoy breaking you!// The fiend groans, doubling over. All the tentacles that Suki had cut, suddenly regenerate, the things directs them at the helpless heroine. She's further entangled by them, digging into her skin while secreting a thin mucous. //L-Let me go you monster!// The Demon laughs at her demands, increasing the pressure on Suki's limbs. She groans, the pain turning to pleasure. //What did you do to me?!// Suki realizes something is wrong with her body. The Demon ignores her, commanding several phallic looking appendages to coil around Suki's sensitive spots. //Hngh, n-no stop!// Her protests fall on deaf ears as several of them tease her breasts, kneading and roughly squeezing. The tentacles securing her legs flex and pull Suki's legs apart, leaving her spread eagle. One of them finds its way to her lower half and tears away the thin fabric covering the helpless heroines precious place. Seeing this, Suki struggles weakly against her bonds but is unable to escape. The phallic organ prods her labia, drawing a muffled moan from Suki. She focuses the last of her resistance on the muscles in her slit, attempting to keep it from violating her. The Demon flexes the organ and forces its way into the Demon Hunter's defenseless pussy, piercing her hymen. //NOOOO!// Suki cries out for a brief moment, her sobs turn to moans as the pain is transmitted into pleasure. The tentacle wrapped around her neck moves to her mouth and before she can close it, the cock shaped appendage forces its way into her mouth, taking care not to choke her. //Mmph// The Demon Hunter's eyes roll back, the organ in her mouth squirts the same slimy mucous covering her body down the girls throat. Three additional needle tipped tendrils appear and pierce her breasts and clit, causing Suki to buck her hips violently due to the intense surge of pleasure. Fluids are injected through the tentacles, entering her body, increasing her sensitivity hundredfold. //Ahaha, yes, YES. FEEL MY APHRODISIAC ENTER INTO YOUR SYSTEM, FEEL AS YOUR BODY SLOWLY BREAKS// The monster taunts Suki, body heating up as her mind kicks into overdrive. Once their aphrodisiac mixture is fully pumped into Suki's body, the needles retract, replaced by tiny suckers that attach themselves to her nipples. The tentacles relentlessly attack the trapped Suki's body, pounding at her pussy and mouth. The organ forcing its way into her snatch slams against her cervix over and over, coercing several orgasms from the Demon Hunter. Suki is assaulted on all sides for several hours, the tentacles moving in rhythm with each other as they screw Suki's holes. Half way through, her mind gave in to exhaustion and she starts subconsciously bucking her hips in time with the tendrils thrusting, drunk with pleasure. Satisfied with it's work, the Demon reaches it's own climax, bottoming out inside the heroines womb, flooding it with a sea of cum. The tendril in her mouth explodes a moment later, load after load of semen is dumped down her throat, bringing her to yet another explosive orgasm. Suki's stomach distends from the large amounts of jizz her body greedily swallows. The monster withdraws its limbs away from Suki, dropping her to the ground. It approaches her and moves to pick her up when suddenly the heroine's body is bathed in a bright blue light, the jewel in her chest transfers a huge portion of its power to Suki. A rejuvenated Suki inspects her body then looks around, her gaze falling upon the approaching Demon. Her eyes fill with rage and she lunges at it, winding up her arm to attack. Suki slams her clenched fist into the monster, engulfing it in an intense blue flame. The creature screams in agony, its body burning away before turning to ashes a moment later. A small crowd forms around her, the people murmuring and whispering to one another. Suki realizes her current appearance, her hands move to cover her body. She rushes back into the college and enters the closest bathroom, hiding herself in a stall. Suki undoes the transformation, returning to her normal attire. Carefully checking the coast is clear, Suki exits the bathroom and walks out the building. Walking by the sight of her fight with the Demon, there are several people still milling about, several police officers and an ambulance have arrived on the scene and are directing people. The screen fades to black as she wanders down a road, the outro begins to play. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E4">>

Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. The scene opens with birds chirping, the camera overlooking a bedroom, the morning light shinning through the window. On the bed lies a passed-out Suki, exhausted from her ordeal yesterday. The sounds of birds rouse her from slumber. Suki gets up out of bed, blinking a few times before looking around. She takes a step forward but stumbles, pain and pleasure surging from her lower half. //R-Right. That happened, I-I can't get depressed about it though, the Qanael needs me…// Suki takes a moment to recover, breathing in and out. She regains composure and dresses herself in a fresh pair of clothing and grabs her satchel bag, Suki then leaves her room. On the other side of the hallway, Aki's door is open. //Hmm, did she not make it home last night? I hope she didn't run into any trouble.// Suki makes her way downstairs, worrying about her friend. As she's heading out the door, it suddenly flies open and she comes face to face with a tired Aki. //Where have you been??// Suki questions her, the only response she gets is a shrug. Aki drags herself past Suki, lumbering her way up the stairs and into her room. //That was, weird?// Suki shrugs. //Oh shoot, I'm going to be late for real this time!// Noticing the time, she dashes out the front door and down the road to the college. Arriving a few minutes later, Suki rushes into the building, proceeding straight to her class. She stands before the door and catches her breath before quietly entering. The new professor, Komi, stands at the podium. The Amazonian woman turns her gaze to Suki. //So glad you could join us Suki, now if you may. Please take your seat.// She calls Suki out, who then embarrassingly walks to where she sits. The professor drones on for a while, the rest of the class listening intently. //I wonder what happened to Aki, she seemed exhausted.// Suki is lost in thought, unaware the class has ended. One of the other students pokes her a few times. She thanks the other girl and heads off to her next course. The day goes by uneventfully, the condition of her friend still in the back of Suki's mind. Classes end so Suki packs up her notebooks and as she's leaving the room, her eyes catch a glimpse of someone resembling Aki pass by. She stops before a door, knocking three times, the door opens and the girl enters. //Aki?// Confused, Suki follows her. On the door is a sign labeled, //Professors lounge// She's about to knock on the door but a bright flash of light shinning through the window catches her attention. //Not again, how many times do I have to kill these things before they learn?!// With an exasperated sigh, Suki looks around. Confirming the hallway empty, she transforms and makes a mad dash to the first floor. //AHHHH, NO PLEASE! HEEELP!// Several screams can be heard as Suki rushes out the entrance, once outside she comes face to face with a group of twenty demonic looking Orcs. A few of them have women hoisted over their shoulders, cackling to themselves. //Put them down, NOW!// Suki shouts at the Orcs. All of the beasts attention turn to her, the largest Orc steps forward and points at the Demon Hunter. //Bahahaha, you wish to make demands of us, the Demonic Orc Pillagers?!// The Orcs burst out in laughter, the leader gestures at the one's currently carrying women to go on ahead. The Orcs nod and pass through the portal they came in from. //NO!// Suki charges forward but is stopped short when the leader grabs another woman and holds a knife to her throat. //Come any closer and this Human female, DIES.// He carefully applies pressure, causing the woman to cry out. //Ok, ok I give up. Just, take me instead and let her go.// Suki desperately tries to negotiate, offering herself over the woman. The leader Orc cackles. //Good, good. Boys, grab her!// He motions to the others and they surround Suki. One reaches into a bag and pulls out a metal collar, slapping it around the Demon Hunters neck. Suki can feel the energy draining from her body. //Oh no, what have I gotten myself into. I can't use my powers with this thing on me.// Despair slowly seeps into her soul, upholding his end of the bargain, the large Orc releases the woman and moves around behind Suki. Both his hands finding her breasts, he roughly squeezes them a few times. //Hagh?! Ngh, guh. Don't, don't touch me with those filthy, disgusting hands! Hah, haah.// Suki twists her body in a weak attempt to get away. The Demons ferocious sexual desire is on full display, their lustful pheromones permeates Suki's body. //Oi, don't move you slut!// The Orcs seize Suki's arms, while the others move their hands to other parts of her body. The helpless heroine squirms in disgust from the revulsion of her skin being touched by Demons. A chain is suddenly fastened to the collar, preventing any sort of escape. //Damn, your skin is smooth.// One of the Orcs strokes her thighs, she gags in disgust. //Kikiki, her ass is amazingly soft, this bitches body was made for this, good catch boss Graug!// Suki's firm, plump butt is groped by another Orc's hands. //Hah, hinh… Nnah?! I said, fuh, stop touching… Hngh, me!// Suki cries out, repulsed. //Pft ahahaha, how can you say something like that when you're making a face like you enjoy it?// The Orc stroking her thigh peers into Suki's face, his stinking breath filling her nostrils. //Ugh, fuh?! Disgusting, don't bring your gross face near me… Urgh, I feel like throwing up just from having smelled the stench of your breath!// The Demon Hunter still shows some resistance, defiant even as the Orcs touch her. //Gahaha, I see you still have some defiance left in you, you slutty pig.// The leader taunts Suki, emphasising the last of his words with a few pinches of her nipples. //Gah! Hngh, hah, aaaah… Nh, n-no.// Suki tries to supress her moans, but the constant pressure on her bodies sensitive parts cause her nerves to overload with pleasure. One of the Orc's course, rugged fingers trace her sopping wet slit through the fabric and with some force, he sinks his fingers into it. Suki's voice reflexively raises from the stimulation to her lower half, her body convulses from the intense surge of pleasure. //Look at this, you're responding quite well to this, ain't ya.// The Orc relentlessly stimulates her folds of flesh, looking at Suki as she subconsciously reacts to it and laughs. //Oooh, hah, hiinh. S-Stop, kuh, hafuu…// The Demon Hunter meekly pleads with the beasts, but they ignore her. The Orc's enjoy the sensation of her smooth skin, their nether regions bulging with their erections as they stroke and caress her body. //Oh no, please no, if this continues… I don't know what'll happen.// She mentally groans, images of them taking their pent up sexual frustrations out on her. Suki's breathing is disordered as the Orcs tease her. //So how does it feel, is our filthy hands turning you on?// The Orc's cackle again and increase the pressure to her skin. //Hah, hngh. As if this would f-feel good, I can't feel a, hah, a thing… Nnhm, kuuh.// Suki scowls, trying to deny the pleasure coursing through her body. //Even with your nipples as hard as diamonds, you still deny it eh?// The huge Orc standing behind Suki, Graug, who was playing with her breasts, grips her towering nipples and firmly squeezes them. //Goh?! Ngii, hah, kuuuuh!// Suki unintentionally raises her voice from the strong stimulation to her sensitive nipples as she's unable to endure the pleasure. //Ohoho, look! She's getting off with her nipples!// The Orc teasing her slit shows the others how wet her snatch has become, his fingers are thoroughly soaked in her juices. Suki shuts her eyes and bites her lip from the humiliation. //Hyahaha, you're finished Demon Hunter! Starting from now on, you'll become pregnant and bear our offspring just like the rest of these women! Kekekeke.// Graug continues taunting Suki, spouting vulgar words into her ear. //N-No! I don't want to, ngh, give birth!// Hearing them talk about impregnating her, Suki tries to squirm out of their grasp. The Orc's hold her still as she twists and turns until she finally exhausts herself. //Stubborn girl, don't worry though, that'll change after this.// Graug grows frustrated with Suki's meager resistance. //Oi, she's horny enough, it's time. Get it out.// He barks orders to the other Orc's. One of the beasts pulls out an ominous looking gem, Suki can feel it pulsing with evil power. //N-No! Keep that thing away from me, don't!// Suki cries out as the Orc moves it close to her body, ripping her outfit and placing it against her skin where her womb is located. The Demon Hunter again tries to twist and turn but all she can do is move her head back and forth, the Orc then roughly pushes it against her body. Her skin slowly gives way as the stone uses its power to enter her body, she can feel its corrupting aura penetrate her soul. A moment later it fully enters, the helpless heroines body having absorbed the evil gem. A surge of intense pain shoots up from her womb and she screams. The skin begins shifting and suddenly a tattoo in the shape of a womb appears, the pain turns to pleasure, a massive orgasm overtakes her nerves. //Uuh, aah, hnh… Nnh, nh.// All Suki can do is breath in and out, her strength gone from her body. The tattoo staining her fair skin faintly shines as it's evil power slowly infecting her body. Suki looks on in despair, any resistance she once had is gone. The screen fades to black as she wanders down a road, the outro begins to play. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E5">>

Upbeat music plays as a camera overlooks a small residential, it suddenly pans down. The shot changes to show a young woman, smiling as she leaves her home. In typical anime fashion, the tune slowly turns ominous as it shows small shots of her surrounded by monsters, she faces a massive creature with a bloody face and determination in her eyes. Another shot she's walking happily with several other women, heading toward a large building. Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. //Finally understand the situation you're in and become obedient eh?// Graug applies more pressure to his hands, which were holding Suki's breasts, kneading the fleshy orbs. The Demon Hunter moans, unable to supress the lust building up in her body any longer. The Orc shows off to the others, pinching her nipples and squeezing the centers of her breasts. The plump flesh gives way to his groping. //Hngh, hah, kuuh… Ngiih, haaah.// The rough and violent fondling should have been painful to her, but due to the curse they bestowed upon her, she ends up feeling an intense burning pleasure. Suki lets out screams of joy, her body wanting to writhe in agony as surges of pleasure run wild and assail every part of her. A strong desire emanated from her womb, the folds of her pussy contracting, begging for their huge throbbing members. //Fufufu, your erect clitoris is pulsating it must be feeling quite nice, even your nipples are throbbing.// Graug heaps scorn upon Suki, the Demon Hunter tries to endure the fact that she was getting off hard on the beasts treatment of her. //N-No, Shut up. Hah, haaah… Nhiih, ngh.// Even though she tried to deny it, what the Orcs said was true, her body proving that she was getting off to it. Every time she tried to pin down the pleasure, their teasing and groping would send her mind into disarray. Graug squeezes her breasts again. //You should stop fighting the pleasure, if you do it'll break your mind beyond repair. Your body is already addicted to the corrupted power surging through it. Hihihii!!// The Orc's gloat, taunting Suki. Satisfied, Graug grabs hold of Suki and forces her onto the ground. Unable to conjure enough strength to move, she lays there, the Orc's surrounding her. The leader, the biggest of them, positions himself between the Demon Hunter's spread legs. //Hnh, haah, guh… G-Get off me!// Suki protests weakly, taking the opportunity of her being immobilized, Graug grabs her hips and places Suki lower abdomen on his knees. //You want it don't you, it's twitching like it wants my dick! Kekeke// The leader teases Suki, rubbing his length up and down her slit, the heroines sopping wet box leaking juices from the feeling of the Orc's rod. Another of the beasts crouches and sticks out his raging meat pole in front of Suki. //I-It's too big! Please, don't!!// The Demon Hunter tries to plead with them, but their minds are filled with sexual desires so her voice falls on deaf ears. The fleshy rod discharges a thick, sticky juice, a rotten stench hits her nasal cavity. Graug continues running his shaft against her twat, Suki raises a sweet voice in return as her hips jerked. Graug thrusts forward, burying his phallus into her soft, fleshy folds. The moment his tip went in, Suki screams, her voice full of pleasure. Suki could the presence of the meat pole digging deeper, little by little, into her sopping hole which had become syrupy. //Hngh, haaah, hiii?! Fuh, fuuh… Nh.// She could feel grotesque warts dotting the meat shaft as it scrapped against her vaginal flesh. Unable to endure the sensations, Suki moans, her tongue hanging out her agape mouth. As honey juice spurted out from the place where they were joined, Graugs lower half was soaked in it. Sinking his meat pole to the base, he poked the back of her pussy with the tip. //Hiieee?! Fuu, fuuh… Guu, haa, hah.// Every time his organ was thrust inside her pussy, his tip pushes against her cervix, gouging out small orgasms from the lust crazed Demon Hunter. Pulling out and thrusting back in, Graug alternated thrusts, antagonizing Suki as sweet pleasure runs through her whole body. Each time her fleshy folds was scrubbed, reason vanished from her mind, it becoming tinged with pleasure. //Buihihi, it's good you've become so engrossed in the pleasure, but soon I'll finish inside!// Graug taunts the helpless Demon Hunter as he picks up his pace, roughly pounding away at Suki's slit. The shock of being thrust into violently is too much for her and unconsciously flexes her lower abdomen, causing the muscles in her pussy to contract around the invading Orc phallus. //Oooh! You dirty pig slut! I'm coming, coming! Ooooh!!// Graugs balls tighten as load after load flow through his erection. Hot, thick juices form a torrent and stream into her womb, the sudden realization of being inseminated made the inside of her womb burn up, her female instincts are put on full display for the Orcs to see. //Hiiihi!! Hieee?! Hah, hahii… Nghu. M-My womb, it's, getting burned up… Going nummmbb.// The feeling of the beasts semen splashing against her cervix washes a huge orgasm over Suki, her snatch greedily coveting the meat pole. Suki's eyes peel back as the tattoo over her womb shines brightly, her mind overloaded by the immense pleasure and mind shattering orgasms. The Orcs continued raping Suki, taking turns plunging their raging cocks into her and dumping their loads into her womb. The Demon Hunter faints after the first few Orcs, the intense pleasure pushing her mind past its limit. Having lost consciousness, Suki's body continued to indulge in the pleasure, convulsing as she climaxes repeatedly. The chain connected to her collar is pulled up by an Orc, jolting her awake. A shock that seemed like her neck was breaking shoots through her spine, what should have been pain turns to pleasure and she lets out a slutty voice. Her willpower which had been beaten down and violated for so long was returning, bit by bit. As her consciousness returned, she could hear the huge Orc commanding his subordinates to take the rest of the females back to their lair. She tried to reach out for them, but her body is still numb from the Orc's treatment. Images of the victims becoming breeding bitches for the beasts floats across Suki's mind, drawing out another orgasm. //Uugh, unh, aah…// Suki's body smelled of drying, Orcish semen, a nasty smell wafting from her. The Orcs finally finish with the Demon Hunter, dropping the weakened heroine into a pool of cum. Feeling the corrupted energy surging through her body, the jewel in her chest releases it's power but the crest etched into her skin reacts, absorbing the jewels energy and mixing with it. Suki receives a huge boost in strength, the fatigue in her body disappears but her mind goes blank. Her eyes open wide and she lets out a shriek, one that frightens even Graug. The collar around her neck explodes and her body is lifted off the ground by an invisible force. The Orcs back away from her, a menacing aura emanating from the awoken Demon Hunter. Her feet touch the ground, her attention turns to Graug, the Orc leader has only seconds to contemplate running or not. His head is suddenly separated from his body, rolling a few feet away. The rest of the beasts retreat through the portal as it closes. The Demon Hunter's mind clears up, her legs buckle, and she collapses. //W-What happened??// She looks around, in front of her lies the severed head of the Orc leader, Graug, and a large pool of Orcish semen. Suki realizes the state of her body, while inspecting herself, a crowd of people gather around her. //Y-You didn't even save one of them!// Someone from the crowd calls out to her in anger. //Yeah! Some saviour you are!// Their frustrations directed at the Demon Hunters failure to save the captured women. //T-They took my sister, and you just let them rape you!// The rest of the people start angrily berating Suki. Unable to stand their insults, Suki breaks down sobbing, apologizing profusely. //Just go home you useless hero!// They yell at her to leave. //Yeah, pig slut!// The humiliation from the citizens she was suppose to protect turns her on far more then the treatment from the Demonic Orcs. Embarrassed, the Demon Hunter makes her escape, running as fast as she can back home. The screen fades to black as she wanders down a road, the outro begins to play. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E6">>

Upbeat music plays as a camera overlooks a small residential, it suddenly pans down. The shot changes to show a young woman, smiling as she leaves her home. In typical anime fashion, the tune slowly turns ominous as it shows small shots of her surrounded by monsters, she faces a massive creature with a bloody face and determination in her eyes. Another shot she's walking happily with several other women, heading toward a large building. Then it changes, the sky is dark and her friends are laying on the ground around her, blood pooling around them. The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. //You couldn't even save them!// Suki tosses and turns, nightmares from yesterday plaguing her dreams. //You're nothing but a pig slut!// The people throwing out insults and degrading her. //Buihihi, we're going to turn you into our breeding bitch!// Graugs whispering voice jolts her awake, her body covered in sweat. A pain shoots up from her stomach as gets off the bed, she walks over to her mirror and is horrified of her reflection. From it, Suki can see the crest from yesterday, etched into her skin. She runs her fingers over it, gently feeling it. //W-What is this? Agh!!// She doubles over, clutching her head in pain as the memories from the fight come rushing back. //I-I can't do this anymore… It's too much!// The past few days experience weigh heavily on Suki's mind, nearly crushing her. She curls up into a ball, rocking back and forth. //Why is this happening to me, I didn't agree to any of this…// She quietly sobs. //Come on Suki, don't give up, we're best friends right? I'll always be here for you.// Another voice whispers to her, encouraging the depressed woman. //Aki!// She recognizes the voice as her best friend Aki's, Suki bolts upright, rushing to the bathroom to shower. Once she's cleaned, Suki gets dressed and leaves her room. As she steps out into the hallway, she notices Aki stepping out of her room as well. //Aki! Where have you been??// She calls out to Aki. //Huh? Oh, I had to stay late. S-Something to do with my courses.// Aki replies vaguely, joining her friend in walking to school. The two women walk in silence, an awkward air between them. Aki practically dragging herself alongside Suki, dark bags under her eyes. Several minutes later they arrive at the college and head to their class, entering the room quietly. The day passes by uneventfully, the final class comes to an end. //Aki, I need to speak with you again, follow me.// Komi calls upon Aki as her and Suki are packing up their notebooks, gesturing to follow the professor yet again. Aki bids her friend a half-hearted farewell and leaves with Komi, Suki finishes packing by herself then walks out the room. As she's standing in the hallway, Suki contemplates following the two but decides against it. Instead she leaves the building. Suki steps outside, unaware of the ambush waiting for her. Suddenly a bright flash of light appears, and two hellish looking hounds jump out from a portal. //Oh no, I need to find a place to transform.// She frantically looks around for a spot to change when another figure walks out. //P-Professor Komi?!// The figure, a tall, dark skinned Amazonian woman, looks around. Her eyes falling upon Suki, she whistles to the two hounds and they suddenly charge at the defenseless woman. //Noooo!// The hounds circle Suki. Her legs tremble, giving out and dropping to her knees. Seeing this, the hounds sneer at her. Suki's eyes widen at the sight of their members, both have a pair of twelve inch long black shafts, one above the other and a sack that contains a quad set of burning hot balls underneath. Suki gulps at the thought of them pumping their thick, virile loads into her. One of the hounds pushes her onto her hands and knees, positioning himself behind the helpless woman. He mounts Suki, his muscular body pinning her down. The beast forces Suki's head down, thrusting her butt into the air and placing one of his paws firmly against Suki's head, easily holding her in place. She can feel one of his meaty rods rub against her plump derriere, the hound lowers its head close to her ear, the demonic beasts hot canine breath blowing past Suki's ear. He sits still for a moment, then positions his shafts against her folds and pulls his body back. Suki holds her breath, preparing herself. The hound slams its twin dicks into the helpless woman's slit, an intense mixture of pain and pleasure assaults her nerves as the things large members stretches her gash beyond its capacity. Suki screams in agony but a second later the pain turns to pleasure, the womb crest glowing as it channels one feeling into the other. The beast howls as her loosening hole gives way, letting it plunge deeper into Suki's fleshy canal. The hound bottoms out inside her, panting for a few seconds before resuming his thrusting. The momentary pause gives her pussy time to moisten, juices leaking down her legs. The beast starts pumping in and out, roughly pounding into Suki's folds. Each thrust from it brings the helpless heroine closer and closer to her peak. The beast continues to mate with her, its hot precum staining her insides, the pleasure becomes too much and she subconsciously begins bucking her hips, each new thrust bringing her to another orgasmic high. Suki has one last mind shattering climax as the beast howls, it hilts its meat poles in one thrust and she can feel its incredibly hot seed pouring directly into her womb. Suki moans, her insides practically burning with pure lust. The uncomfortable sensation continues to grow as more and more of its fiery semen is pumped into her body. The beast finally pulls out, giving the exhausted Demon Hunter a moment of respite. But it ends a moment later when she feels the other Demonic Hound mount her, using the first one's cum as lube as it thrusts its twin cocks into Suki's used slit. It continues to use her, its canine phallus gouging Suki's pink pearl, drawing yet another earth shattering climax from her. This goes on for several hours, rendering the helpless Suki a bubbling, incoherent mess. A huge pool of semen around her, the second hound slams itself into her one last time, the tip of its shaft poking the entrance to her womb. Suki's mind is in complete disarray, barely registering the feeling of more Demonic seed being pumped into her womb. After a while, the beast pulls out of her, large globs of cum pour out of Suki's stretched out and abused hole. The Amazonian woman, having grown impatient, approaches the mind broken Suki. Grabbing the Demon Hunters hair and lifting her head up, she places the palm of her hand on Suki's chest. //Hmm, I finally found you, Demon. Hunter.// She lets go of her, dropping Suki into the pool of cum. //K-Komi…// Suki meekly calls out to the woman, struggling to get up. The Amazonian laughs. //You still have my pets to deal with, lets see the so called "power" that you wield!// She steps back and whistles to the two Demonic Hounds, commanding them to attack Suki. The canine beasts charge, snarling as they jump at her. The screen fades to black, the outro begins, a sad melody plays as Suki wanders down a road, the sun setting in the distance. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E7">>

The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. //W-Where am I…// All around Suki was darkness. //I feel like I'm, floating…// Her mind is a hazy mess, her body suspended in the abyss as it threatens to swallow her whole. //Mmh, ngh…// A wet, sloshing sound draws Suki out of her stupor, eyes feeling incredibly heavy as she forces them open. In front of her are several sets of flesh looking cocoons, some of them containing the victims of the previous monster attacks in the last few days, all of them female. Suki looks around, the room is completely covered in soft looking organic tissue. Tentacles protruding from nearly every corner, in another part of the room sits several large pillars made of thousands of writhing tentacles. Behind her sit several large, glass capsules, each containing a pinkish looking liquid. //What kind of, ngh, place is this?// She attempts to move her arms and legs but finds her body half buried in one of the cocoons, tentacles holding Suki's limbs in place, restraining her in a standing position. //Hngh, nng…// She twists and turns but the fleshy appendages firmly hold her in place. //It's useless…// Suki gives up, deciding to save what strength she has left. Suddenly a part of the wall opens, and a familiar looking person enters the room. //Professor K-Komi?!// The memories from her previous ordeal come flooding back and she remembers the tall, dark skinned Amazonian woman commanding several Demons to attack her. //Who?// The woman stares at Suki, confused. //Oh right, you mean my sister. Don't worry she'll be joining us after she's taken care of "something". Instead you'll just have to enjoy my company, oh right, I'm Sugar.// Her body suddenly shifts, a pair of horns protrude from her forehead and a tail slips out from behind. Suki looks on in horror, her mind spiraling into despair at the revelation of her professor being the very thing she was suppose to destroy. //It's over, there's nothing left…// Aki's face suddenly flashes in her mind, the memory of her friend being led into a room by one of the Demonic Amazonian sisters comes to her. //Aki! I need to save her!// With renewed vigor, Suki regains her composure. //Oh? Is that fire I see in your eyes? Figured something out, hmm? But it's too late, we're going to have a lot of fun together, "Suki".// The Demoness peers into Suki's face as she taunts the trapped Demon Hunter. //Let me go! If you do, I might consider forgiving you!// Suki desperately struggles against the slimy tentacles holding her in place, putting the last of her strength into escaping the accursed bindings. //Ohoho, that's no good. I wouldn't be able to train you otherwise, my mistress wants you as a prize to her master.// Sugar held up her hand and moves her fingers, as if following her motions, several tentacles with long needle tips rise up in front of Suki. The Demoness Sugar snaps her finger, the needles pierce into Suki's nipples, reaching further into the tender fat of her breasts and to the mammary glands. With another gesture, a large bulge makes its way up the tentacles, through the needle and injected directly into her breasts. //Hmm, I wonder, do you know what this "liquid" is intended to do?// Sugar manipulates the tentacles a few more times, sending several loads of the fluid into Suki's tits. //It's going to completely remodel those lumpy pieces of fat! Transforming the cells in your nipples into that of a clitoris, mimicking the sexual organ and increasing the sensitivity of your body thousand fold!// The Demoness cackles, enjoying the Demon Hunters anguish. //Guh, uunh… Fuh, niih.// Suki's body heats up, the drug working through its way through her system. One by one, the cells in her nipples were changing, the pain she felt previously was now being transmitted to her brain as pleasure. //Well then, I think I'll leave you to soak it in for a while, don't go anywhere now.// Sugar taunts Suki before leaving the helpless Demon Hunter in the flesh pit. The injections continue for several hours with nearly a gallon of the Demonesses remodeling drug having been pumped into Suki's breasts. Finally the last of the few drops of the fluid are injected, seconds after, an hole opens up and Sugar enters the room. //Sounds like your enjoying yourself, Demon Hunter.// The Demoness snaps her fingers and the long needles slip out of Suki's nipples, sending an intense shock of pleasure directly to her brain. //Hngh, uu… fuh, fuu.// Unable to endure the constant pleasure coursing through her body, Suki's mouth hangs agape as she pants. //P-Please, n-no more… I-I surrender…// She pleads, her nipples a swollen mess as they swell outwards from her areolas. //Kehahaha! That's an appearance more befitting of a slutty pig such as yourself, my mistress was right about you.// Satisfied, Sugar admires her handy work. Suki's nipples were throbbing, tinged with a burning desire to be fondled and played with. The Demon Hunter saw the state of her breasts, which had increased by several cup sizes due to the liquid, the added weight weighs heavily on her back as her mind struggles to grasp the extent of the remodelling. //I still see some fire in those eyes, let's completely stomp it out shall we?// Sugar snaps her fingers again, Suki tries to protest, to beg but just breathing was a labored endeavor that brought on great spikes of pleasure. A new set of smaller tentacles appear and coil around her breasts, creeping across her skin as they secrete a viscous slime. //Hah?! Hiih, hngh… Guh, hiyah!// As the they twirl around her plump fleshbags and areolas, the tips penetrate her nipples, digging deep into her mammary glands. //Hiiee! Ahuu, hngh… Haa, hah. N-No…// The sensation emanating from her breasts wasn't one of pain, but a maddening pleasure that relentlessly assaulted her oversensitive nerves. //S-Stop! Please! Hagh, guh… Haahhh!// Suki's nipples that had transformed into that of a clitoris, were trying to grow more erect as the tentacle probed deep into the interior of her tits. //Ahhh! Ah, hauuh, haah… Hiiiee. T-This is, amazshing… I feel shooo good.// The Demon Hunter's mind snaps, waves of constant pleasure washing away what reasoning she had left. The tentacles penetrate as far as they can, pulling out slightly then thrusting back in, they begin to fuck her sensitive tits over and over. Suki's lips shiver violently, orgasm after orgasm washing over her like a huge tidal wave. //Ahahaha! Your days of Demon Hunting are over, Demon "Slut" Suki! You look nothing like the proud warrior you claimed to be, you're nothing but a whore!// The Demoness hurls insults at Suki, taunting her. A strange feeling welled up from inside Suki's breasts, something hot gushed up from her mammary glands. The small tentacles are suddenly sent flying out by a spray of white fluid. Breast milk spews out like a water fountain from her nipples, covering the floor several feet ahead. The pleasure is enough to cause Suki's mind to go completely white, she cries out, lolling her tongue out as her body repeatedly convulses. Thick, white breast milk continuously spews out from her remodeled tits. Suki's body trembled, chest heaving as she gasps for air, her sense of self slowly degrading by the endless sea of orgasms. The tentacles coiling around her breasts constrict tighter, increasing the pressure and squeezing more milk from them. A mind shattering orgasm hits Suki, piercing into her brain, her tongue dangles out of her mouth and her eyes glaze over as she lets out an ear-splitting shriek in agony. The Demon Hunter swims in and out of consciousness, her head swooning from the cruel torture inflicted upon her. //Buahahahaha! Yes, break! Let the pleasure shatter your mind into a million pieces!// Sugar's vexing laughter echoes loudly through the chamber. Suki's conscious finally fades, descending into a dark abyss. //Hmph, I hope you're ready for a lifetime of hell, Demon Slut Suki.// The Demoness Sugar looks at Suki in disgust as the Demon Hunter passes out, then leaves the room. The screen fades to black, the outro begins and a sad melody plays as Suki wanders down a road, the sun setting in the distance. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E9">>

The woman screams at something off screen before charging at it, the camera pans up into the darkened sky. It clears up to show sun touched clouds and the words //Demon Hunter Suki// in large letters appears, wings flash on either side before the title fades. Suki stirs from her slumber, the previous ordeals taking it's toll on her mentally as she wakes. She finds herself stuck inside a dimly lit egg-shaped pod made of flesh, her hands and legs were seized by the organic material, Suki's limbs sunk deep into fleshy protrusions as it spreads them wide open. //Finally awake are we? Good, good, the final preparations for your "ascendance" are complete so say goodbye to your previous life. Ahahahaha!!// The Demoness Sugar's muffled voice can be heard from outside, gloating at the defeated Demon Hunter. All around her the interior walls were squirming and writing, pulsing as several tentacles spring forth and entwine Suki's body while a few more coil around her abnormally huge breasts, gently vibrating and massaging them. //Haaah?! Nnh, fuu, fuuh. Haguu, guh.// A musky smell fills the pod, invading every pore in her body and assaulting her nasal cavity. //Kuh! Need to get out…// Her mind panics and she tries to retract her arms and legs but the flesh chamber refuses to yield. //Now, now you should know it's quite impossible to escape from one of these creatures once it has gotten ahold of a victim, not letting them go until it's satisfied.// As if to emphasize The Demonesses point, the two large protuberances that were swallowing her arms, begin pulling in Suki's arms by several centimeters. Intense pain shoots from her arms as they're stretched, the tattoo on her lower abdomen shines brightly and the pain transforms to pleasure. The sensation proves to be too much and Suki lightly orgasms, a clear liquid seeping from her slit. With her mind and body forced to relax as she basks in the pleasure, suddenly the bed of flesh surrounding Suki ripples. //Kehehehe, with this final crescendo of pleasure, you'll be reborn into a pig slut! A Demon Slut to be used for the rest of your life by us Demons! You won't even be able to live without orgasming!// Sugar lets out a derisive laugh, the Demoness voice is muffled but Suki can hear the mocking tone and Sugars disdain for the Demon Hunter. Suki's mind continued its descent into a dark pit of despair, ever since becoming a Demon Hunter, her body and mind were subjected to torture after torture and cruel disgrace. Even her precious first time, something she was holding onto, was stolen from her by the Demons. //Ngh, agh… Hah, haaah, fuaa.// Suki's eyes glaze over, the gentle sensations of the massaging tentacles currently entangling her body, washes over her. //Well, it's time, I'll leave you to it. Demon "Slut". I'll return after a few hours, toodles.// Sugar bids the trapped Suki farewell, leaving her inside the meaty pod. The egg-shaped pod was completely sealed off, fully enveloping Suki in its repulsive flesh chamber and isolating her from the outside world. The rippling from before returns and from the inner walls, tentacles of varying sizes pulsate while stretching towards Suki. One tentacle grew fine, hair like fibers in the shape of a brush, another set were furnished with mouth like organs, complete with a row of needle like teeth and ones that have thin flesh tubes protruding out along several feet of their bodies. Among the assortment of appendages were a few with finely pointed tips which looked suspiciously like needles. The despondent Suki doesn't react when, simultaneously, the soft-bodied appendages rush toward her. The tentacle brush clings to Suki's groin, the soft, thin hairs teasing her clitoris and labia, intense shocks piercing directly into her brain. At the same time, the tentacles with thick tubes, approach from either side and wrapping around Suki's breasts, tightening their thin offshoot tentacles. Several incredibly small, thinner tentacles feel around her earlobes. The feelers find her ear canal and crawl into the holes. They inch deeper into Suki's cranium, sending pangs of pleasure and pain reverberating through her head. The probing barbs snake through her ear drum without puncturing it and latch on directly to the Demon Hunters brain, the creature's filaments spreading through the different parts of her encephalon. Suki's mouth hangs agape, tongue lolling out. The caressing of the tentacles incessantly digs into her fair skin, leaving behind red marks. With her limbs seized and her mind subdued, the tentacles continued playing with the helpless heroine's body. The countless appendages moved without hesitation, using her to satisfy its sexual desires. The tentacle that grew countless soft tendrils tenaciously rubbed itself against Suki's snatch, occasionally flicking at her engorged clitoris, as if to claim her precious flower for its own. As the other tentacles are having their way with her body, the last set of appendages with the mouth-like organs, rush forward and attach themselves to Suki's areolas. The needle like teeth pierce her nipples and begin sucking. //Hieee!! Kuuhh, haah… Ngh, nhuu.// Suki lets out a high-pitched shriek from the sharp stimulation to her sensitive milk bags. Pleased by her reactions, the flesh pod pulsates with excitement. Trapped by the tentacles and forced into a humiliating pose, her remodeled nipples were both congested with blood, protruding out in a slutty manner. //Gooh! Kuoh, hngh… Kuuh, hiieeah!!// Each time the tentacles teased and prodded her sensitive spots, small flashes of lighting ran through her and to the crown of her head, the tendrils attached to her brain amplifying the feeling hundredfold. The erratic motions of the appendages caused Suki's body to subconsciously writhe from the stimulation, adding its own irregular movement to the already teasing tentacles. Her body moving on its own, seeking higher planes of orgasmic bliss. Times passes, over the hours several hundred more tentacles sprang up towards Suki's taut body, giving her the pleasure she unconsciously craved for. Some of the new additions sporting phallic looking heads, warts and ribbing line their lengths. The fleshy brush tormenting her vulva and clitoris, lets go, signs of its relentless caressing are etched onto her skin. //Haah, haaa, ngh… Fuh, fuuh.// All Suki can do is gasp for air through ragged breathing, the stench of a female in head mixing with the pheromones of the flesh pod. With each breath, her abnormally huge breasts rise and fall. A lump of flesh falls onto the unconscious Demon Hunter and undulates, swelling up as it expands. The tumour fully covers Suki's entire body, encasing her body in a writhing mass of flesh and tentacles. The pod shudders and suddenly a thick, white goo fills up the space between the organic flesh walls and the chrysalis containing Suki. While the egg-shaped tentacle pod sexually breaks Suki, in another room separated from the one Suki's in by meaty, organic walls, is the Demon Hunters friend Aki. //Aaahhh, Mistress Spice~// The girl swoons over the tall, muscular Amazonian woman. The Demoness who disguised herself as a professor at the girl's college, looked down at the slutty Aki with contempt as she jerks the Amazonians thirteen-inch, thick shaft. Stopping only to service her melon sized balls. //W-Why am I doing this? H-How did I get here??// Confusing thoughts race through Aki's head, blurry memories sitting just outside of her minds reach. //Good girl.// The Demoness Spice compliments Aki, having spent the past few days training the young woman. Using her grades to blackmail her. Aki smiles around the meat pole in her mouth, beaming at the Demonesses compliment. Aki bobs up and down on Spice's rod, the Demonesses precum bubbling its way down Aki's throat. She slides the member deeper and deeper, the head bumping the back of her throat with each thrust. Above her Spice grunts, face scrunched up in agonizing pleasure from Aki's ministrations. The Demonesses hands suddenly clasp either side of Aki's head and slam it forward, forcing the helpless girl to deepthroat the huge cock, taking its length nearly all the way down to her stomach. The Amazonian's body rumbles, testicles constricting as load after load rushes through her urethra and down Aki's throat. Satisfied, Spice picks Aki up and roughly places her against the wall. She growls as a voice calls for her over a PA system, irritated, the Demonesses storms off, leaving the confused Aki standing against the wall. The screen fades to black, the outro begins and a sad melody plays as Suki wanders down a road, the sun setting in the distance. You grab the remote and consider if you want to continue watching another show or to turn off the television. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $DHS to "S1E10">>

You're only a few minutes into your show when you hear the door behind you open. When you glance over your shoulder, you see Eve making her way quietly toward the couch where you are sitting. Turning back toward the television, you watch the show for a few more seconds before she arrives by the couch, When she sits on the couch beside you, she is sitting much closer than she needs to be, her body leaning against yours. Her eyes meet your own and you can see expectation in her expression. <<talk "eve">>Is it ok if I cuddle?<</talk>>\ She asks softly. <<talk "thought">>I wonder what's gotten into her?<</talk>>\ [[You'd rather not.|Eve Couch Scene 1a][$eve.affection -= 1; $eve.trust -= 1]] [[Cuddle with her.|Eve Couch Scene 1b][$eve.affection += 1; $eve.trust += 1; $eve.fear -= 1]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

<<talk "player">>I'd really rather not.<</talk>>\ Eve's expectation and joy seems to drain from her face when she hears your words. You can even see her slouch just a little where she is sitting. She sits up straighter beside you, then scoots over to put a few inches between the two of you. While you watch the show, you notice only after a few minutes that Eve begins to cast glances toward the room's exit. It's not long before she excuses herself and leaves the room. Once she is gone, you return your attention to the show you had been watching. You enjoy the rest of the show in solitude. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 51 }>>

<<talk "player">>Sure.<</talk>>\ You reply, putting one arm around her as she snuggles up against you. The warmth of her body against yours feels nice, comfortable, and you realize that you enjoy the closeness for the simple fact that this is someone precious who is so incredibly comfortable around you. It's not until she moves that you realize that she's looking at you instead of at the television. Turning your head toward her, you realize that her face is bare inches from your own, her breath is warm against your lips as she leans just a little closer.

For several minutes your tongues dance with one another, your hands holding each other tight. A short while later when she finally allows the kiss to end, both of you are breathless. Swept up in the moment, you pull her into your lap. She makes a squeal of surprise, but the excitement in her features is unmistakable. With her straddling your lap, you give her a quick kiss, pulling back when she tries to meet the kiss. You do it again and again, teasing her with little kisses that leave her both laughing and visibly hungry for more. It's not long before both of her hands come up, holding onto your head when you kiss her again, holding you in place so that she can kiss you back. You offer no resistance to her action, eagerly meeting her kiss. The kiss is filled with passion, lasting for several minutes before you finally pull back. Both of you gasp for breath. Eve is flushed, a hint of a smile on her lips as she looks up into your eyes. Meanwhile, you slowly get your breathing back under control. Leaning forward, Eve cranes her neck so she can meet your lips again. This kiss is gentle and loving, lingering only for a few seconds before she pulls back again. She seems reluctant to slip out of your lap, but she eventually does so. You see her tongue dart out, tasting her lips like she's trying to taste you on them. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for letting me watch a movie with you.<</talk>>\ You don't bother mentioning that the movie isn't over yet. There's a little smile on her face as she says goodbye, waves, then heads for the living room door. <<addtime { minute : 22 }>> <<else>>\ <<talk "thought">>I think she wants me to kiss her.<</talk>>\ You think for one startled moment. Your eyes linger on her slightly puckered lips, wondering what they would feel like pressed against your own. <<talk "thought">>I think I want to kiss her too.<</talk>>\ The realization is all the encouragement that you need. Your head lowers slightly. In Eve's eyes you can see anticipation, a mixture of excitement and worry. When your lips touch hers, you can feel how soft her lips are. They taste faintly sweet, but you only have a split second to wonder what she might have eaten that was sweet before she's suddenly pushing against you. Her arms wrap tightly against you, her lips crushing against yours so hard you worry she might split a lip. You quickly break the kiss. <<talk "player">>Easy!<</talk>>\ There's sudden fear in her eyes and she tries to pull away. You keep your arms around her through it though. <<talk "eve">>I did it wrong, I'm sorry.<</talk>>\ Her voice is impossibly soft, so soft you nearly missed the words. <<talk "player">>A little over eager perhaps, but you did nothing wrong.<</talk>>\ You lightly cup Eve's cheek with one hand, drawing her face tenderly back to your own. She doesn't respond when your lips touch hers a second time. You break the kiss after just a second. <<talk "player">>When you kiss someone, you're telling them something with your lips.<</talk>>\ Her eyes search yours as you continue. <<talk "player">>A peck on the cheek or even the lips shows someone that you are fond of them, that you care.<</talk>>\ Your lips lightly brush the corner of her lips. You can see her eyes half close as the tender little kiss lingers for a moment. <<talk "player">>A lingering kiss on the lips however can be an expression of love.<</talk>>\ With that, your lips touch hers. This time she meets your kiss with equal care and tenderness. A sigh escapes her lips when you finally break the kiss. <<talk "player">>Then there are kisses that are passionate, that have sexual undertones, but are every bit as loving as a kiss that tells someone that you love them.<</talk>>\ This time your lips meet hers with a little more force than before, your tongue gently touching her lips. When she parts her lips in a little gasp, you take the opportunity and let your tongue slip past. After a moment's surprise, her own tongue hesitantly meets your own. However, over the next minute her movements become more sure and eager. Eve sighs when you break the kiss, her eyes half closed and a dreamy expression on her lips. <<talk "player">>And the kind of kiss you gave me earlier implies a desperate need for that person, a hunger to become one with them.<</talk>>\ You allow the silence to linger for a few seconds. <<talk "player">>Do you understand?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Yeah...<</talk>>\ She says, sounding just a little breathless. Without another word, she leans forward again, pressing her lips to yours as her arms encircle your neck. The kiss starts soft and tender, her movements slow like she is trying to savor every moment. However over the next few minutes there is a growing hunger in the kiss, her tongue eventually probing your lips before slipping past them. Eve holds herself close to you as the two of you kiss, your arms holding her with the same degree of urgency. When you finally break the kiss, the two of you are breathless. Eve looks flushed, her chest rising and falling as she tries to catch her breath again. In that moment, she is beautiful, a hint of sweat on her brow as she smiles. Her eyes twinkle as she looks into yours. Eventually she sighs happily, then embraces you. Her face nuzzles your chest for just a moment, then she pulls back. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see that the show you had been watching is over, another playing in its place. You look back at Eve as she slips slowly from the couch. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for letting me watch the television with you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You watched the television? What show was on?<</talk>>\ You joke. <<talk "eve">>Doesn't matter.<</talk>>\ She says as her face blossoms into a toothy grin. <<talk "eve">>Whatever it was, it was the best show ever.<</talk>>\ With that, she spins before bounding toward the living room door. You're left grinning in her wake as she makes her exit. <<talk "thought">>I think our little Eve wants to become a woman.<</talk>>\ Something about that last thought makes you happy. <<set $eve.affection += 3>><<set $eve.trust += 4>><<set $eve.fear -= 3>><<set $EveKiss to true>><<addtime { minute : 63 }>>\ <</if>>\ <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>> NOTE: Rewrite of the scene's ending will be rewritten at a later time to accommodate future expansion of this event chain.

You give her a one armed hug, in doing so you move her slightly so she's sitting properly beside you once more. When she settles back in beside you, you turn your attention to the television to finish watching your show. The show is nearly over when Eve stirs at your side again. This time she gets up off the couch. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for letting me cuddle.<</talk>>\ She says softly, then makes heads for the door of the room before exiting. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 44 }>>

Your show is almost half open when movement out of the corner of your eye catches your attention. Looking that way, you see Eve standing nearby. <<talk "eve">>Can I sit with you for a little while? I can't sleep.<</talk>>\ She says softly, her tone and manner lacking the childish quality that you're used to seeing from her. [[Send her back to bed.|Eve Couch Scene 2a]] [[Allow her to join you.|Eve Couch Scene 2b]] <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>

<<talk "player">>You should be in bed...<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>This late, I should probably be in bed too, but that's beside the point.<</talk>>\ Eve pouts. <<talk "eve">>I have to go back to bed?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Yeah, you have chores in the morning.<</talk>>\ She lets out an exaggerated sigh, then leaves, presumably to return to bed.

<<talk "player">>Sure.<</talk>>\ You pat the space beside you. She quickly joins you, never hesitating to cuddle up against your side. You absently put one arm around her. You start to turn your attention back to your show when Eve speaks. <<talk "eve">>This is nice.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Getting to stay up late, or getting to cuddle?<</talk>>\ You inquire. <<talk "eve">>Both, but that's not what I meant.<</talk>>\ She says softly. For a minute, you wait for her to continue, only prompting once it becomes obvious that she isn't going to continue on her own, <<talk "player">>Then what do you mean?<</talk>>\ Eve pulls away, leaving your side feeling cool in her wake. She looks up at you for a moment, then snuggles back in to your side. <<talk "eve">>Things are so different now. You're nice, and you take care of us, and you don't make us scared all the time, and...<</talk>>\ She trails off for a long moment before continuing. <<talk "eve">>Do you think he knew? That you would be the way you are? Maybe your uncle wasn't such a terrible person if he gave us to you and he knew that you were a good person?<</talk>>\ From her tone, she doesn't sound convinced of her own words. <<talk "player">>I don't know. I wonder about things like that sometimes. Why did he leave everything to me, why were you two intentionally left here for me to find.<</talk>>\ You look away from the television to the little woman curled up close to your side. <<talk "player">>Some people have a change of heart, or feel the need to repent for their past wrongs toward the end of their life. He was nice to me when I was little, but he changed into someone I can't understand. If he left you two for me, knowing that we'd all make each other happy, then I probably owe him some thanks.<</talk>>\ The two of you both fall silent for a while longer. It's not until a little while later that you begin to speak again. <<talk "eve">>Nothing excuses the terrible things he did, but for what it's worth, I'm happy that things worked out in a way that allowed you to come into my life.<</talk>>\ Eve mumbles something into your side, it sounds like an agreement. Afterward, the two of you fall quiet again, only this time it last's until the show is nearly at it's end. <<talk "eve">>Thanks for talking with me.<</talk>>\ She says, stifling a yawn. <<talk "eve">>Goodnight <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>..."<</talk>>\ I think I should get to bed now. She starts to slip away, then pauses to throw her arms around you in an affectionate hug before releasing you again. Without another word, she pads softly toward the room's exit. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 19 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

Couch Event, high relationship values

A loud shreik , a sound that could as easily be rending steel as it could be someone's final scream as decompression violently rips the air from their lungs. Even so, it's nearly lost in the rush of air as atmosphere vents into space through the massive tear in the side of the ship. The camera pulls back, bringing a man into focus. He's bleeding from a cut on his brow but he pays it no mind as he clings to the deck, straining as he pulls himself toward an open airlock. Once through, he pulls himself upright against the wall and slaps a panel. The door cycles shot and the man gasps, drawing a lung full of air before looking out the little viewport at the tangled ruin that was once a starship. "Lana," The man gasps, "Got to get to our quarters. She's got to be ok." Without another word, the man stumbles down the cooridor. Sparks, small fires. and the occasional high pitched whistle of decompression fills the cooridor. He's just rounding a corner when he sees that the twisted hallway he had intended to follow is a tangled mess of wires and steel. "Fuck," He mutters under his breath. He looks at the passage a little longer, then he spins quickly on his heel, "First priority, access the network." A dozen strides later, he pulls the front of a cabinet free, revealing a neatly folded space suit that he uncerimoniously pulls free. He doesn't even pause, he starts to pull the protective suit on as quickly as he is able, then after he fastens the helmet to his hip, he reaches for the keypad on the arm of the suit. As soon as the keypad lights up, he slips a small object in his ear, it nestles almost invisibly inside. "Petty Officer Third Class, Hunter. Command. I'm at junction," He glances up at the large number and letter on the wall, "J-53. Please advise." Even as he says the words, he's already in motion, walking at a brisk pace as he considers how best to reach the crew section of the ship, where his wife presumably is. "Command, I repeat, Petty Officer Third Class, Hunter. I just left junction J-53 and am heading starboard. Please advise. I need to get to my wife, she's pregnant. I'm going to help anyone I find along the way, but my wife is my priority until I'm ordered otherwise." He continues another dozen paces before cursing under his breath, "Computer, are communications down?" An emotionless voice replices promptly, "No sir." "Then why isn't command responding?" He demands. "You are the highest ranking member of the crew who is not dead or incapacitated." The same emotionless voice replies. He misses a step, stumbling before he can catch himself. For several long seconds he stands there, "Computer. How many life signs can you find on the ship?" "Seven." "Myself included?" The man asks hesitantly. "Yes sir." "Is my wife alive?" He asks, a hint of panic in his voice. "She is, however her life signs are failing." In the blink of an eye, the man is running down the cooridor. He's just rounding a corner as fast as his feet can carry him when the lights flicker, a split second later he slams into the bulkhead as the ship looses artificial gravity. His stomach does a flip and he wretches as the gravity gives out. It takes all of his will to choke back the bile threatening to spill from his lips. The man barely has time to reorient himself before red emergency lights illuminate the corridor. A second later the cooridor shudders as if caught in an earthquake. Almost as soon as the quake ends, he places both feet against the bulkhead and pushes off, using his hands to guide himself as he propells himself weightlessly down the corridor. The screen fades to black, then brightens to show the man prying a door open, revealing a woman tangled in the ruins of a destroyed room. A faint hint of frost covers her skin though she's not dead yet. The amount on the ground beneath her and floating in the air around her is a clear indication that she likely will be soon. "Computer," The man says, his voice trembling, "How do I get her out without killing her?" "Impossible. Removing her will kill her. Her life signs are faltering, she will be dead soon." The computer says without any hint of compassion. "Save the baby," The woman says, her voice a strained whisper. The one arm that isn't impaled by a steel gurder goes to her swollen belly protectively." The man screams in frustration, tears pooling at the corner of his eyes where he has to wipe them away. The lack of gravity refusing to let them streak down his face normally. "I love you," He says, his voice raw. She swallows, not saying a word as she seems to look through him rather than at him. He steels his resolve, pulling a utility knife from a pouch at his hip. His eyes move to her belly, pointedly avoiding looking at his wife's face as he prepares to cut her open. The screen darkens as the sound as the wet sound of flesh being cut emits from the television. All the while, credits scroll silently across the screen. When the last credits have vanished from the screen, the sound of a baby crying can be heard. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 30 }>><<set $finalVoyage to "S1E2">>

A deep and ominous voice reverberates from the televisions speakers. As the voice begins to speak, grainy images begin to appear on the screen "//At first, it was just rumors, a friend of a friend that heard of a guy that was infected. But the rumors persisted, and then the first recordings started appearing on the internet. Even though scientists had a name for it, the public quickly came to know the infection as the 'Futa Virus.' Within a few weeks, governments all around the world had declared martial law. But no matter what anyone did, the infection continued to spread. In a month's time, governments had fallen, the military had been overrun, and the trappings of 'civilized' society were long gone. The power grid had collapsed, the pumps no longer ran without power making clean water scarce, and phones no longer worked without their signal towers powered. In the final days before everything turned to complete anarchy, it was discovered that taking male cum internally (Orally, anally, or vaginally) could prevent the disease from turning someone who had been infected. Once fully turned, male cum will no longer prevent the infection of someone who has been contaminated, however it WILL make the infected docile for a short period of time. Male cum has become the single most valuable substance in existence. Survivors were rare. The lucky ones traveled in small groups, protecting each other and helping each other scavenge for supplies. The unlucky ones, . . . . well, there weren't many loners left.//" As the screen becomes clearer, the sounds of a cupboard opening can be heard. James stands in the kitchen of a quiet little house in the suburbs, his eyes taking in his meager supplies, a few simple keepsakes, a hand operated can opener, two cans of kidney beans, a canteen full of water, a tattered change of clothes, a portable stove, a sleeping bag, and a backpack. Glancing out the window ne can see a single Common Infected walking along the far side of the street. Above the rooftops, the sky has begun to lighten, the horizon painted in shades of pink and purple in the slightly overcast morning. He lets his attention turn back to the Infected, taking in her appearance. She's beautiful, a virtual naked goddess made flesh. A pretty face framed in dark brown hair, large breasts and a perfect body. Well, perfect with the exception of the nearly foot long cock dangling between her legs, "Give her half a chance and she'll fuck me senseless, turn me into another one just like her," He mutters to himself. Allowing the curtain to fall back into place, he sits back down, waiting for the relative safety of full light before setting out in search of supplies. As he waits, his mind turns to his options: To the North, there are miles of residential area. Houses that potentially have supplies to scavenge. To the East, is the mountains. While supplies may be harder to come by, the lack of human population may also result in a smaller number of Infected to contend with. To the South, is the main part of town. Supplies may be plentiful, but there will also be more Infected in a dense population center like that. To the West, are the docks and train yards. There may be large supplies of provisions there, so much so that the you would need to find a way to transport them. "To the mountains I think," He says softly, realizing that's going to be the safest choice, even if he may need to spend more time scavenging supplies, "It's a good thing my dad took me camping so often when I was a kid." Glancing out the window one last time to make sure the street is clear, he turns back to his pack, picking it up and reaching for the door. Once outside, he slips his backpack into place, adjusting the straps so they are comfortable before he sets out down the street, the low mountain range stretching out before him on the horizon. Realizing that his supplies will never last long enough for him to reach the mountains, he decides that he had better try scavenging for supplies along the way. Towards mid afternoon, he sees a little blue house along the way that doesn't look like its been looted too badly. Unlike most of the other houses he had passed during the day, all of the windows appear to be intact, or more commonly, boarded up. The yard is cleaner than most, with almost no rubble strewn about. And the doors all appear to be closed. He finds his footsteps drawing him closer and closer to the house. Reasoning that even if he can't find anything useful inside, it would still make a safe place to hold up for the night. Stepping up to the door, he tries to look inside, but its just dark enough that he isn't able to see much. Reaching out, he tries the doorknob, turning it to see if its locked. With a soft click, the door begins to swing open. The interior of the house is dark, and it looks like most of the furniture has been pushed to the windows to add a little extra security. Clearly uneasy, he enters the house slowly, wary of an ambush. A sudden movement to his left has him raising his arm to shield himself from a possible attack. A split second later, something wet hits his sleeve, "What the," He begins. "Shit!" A male voice blurts from the direction of the movement, "Sorry! I thought you were one of them!" The voice comes out high, and has a slight tremor to it. A second later a tall, lanky man steps out of the shadows. He appears unkempt, and his clothes are ragged, in his hands he holds a squirt gun. With a shrill suspenseful sound, the screen turns black and the credits begin to scroll across the screen. As the credits scroll, white drops drip from the names in the credits. Picking up the remote, you consider if you want to watch another show, or if you'd prefer to turn the television off for the time being. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S1E2">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a young man, James, grim faced as he collects his few meager belongings into a duffel bag. Images of him walking, occasionally moving to avoid one of the Infected in the hopes of avoiding detection. Then his hand on a doorknob, turning it slowly and stepping inside right before a shrill shriek blares from the speakers. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. "Shit!" A male voice blurts from the direction of the movement, "Sorry! I thought you were one of them!" The voice comes out high, and has a slight tremor to it. A second later a tall, lanky man steps out of the shadows. He appears unkempt, and his clothes are ragged, in his hands he holds a squirt gun." James gives a sigh of relief when he realizes he's found another survivor. When his hand goes to his sleeve, it comes away sticky and wet, "What the?" He says again, feeling the slightly slimy texture of the fluid. Lowering the squirt gun, the man double checks the front door, risking a quick glance through the drapes beside the door to make sure things are clear. "What's with the squirt gun?" James asks softly, wondering what good something like that could possibly do. "Two thirds water, one third cum," The man says as if that explains everything. "Ok?" James says cautiously. The man looks at James like he's nuts for a second, "Heh, you must not have been following the media right before the grid went down." The man says, looking James up and down as if trying to determine his worth, "Uninfected cum will make an Infected docile for a few seconds, all it takes is skin contact." He shrugs, "Name's Sam." Sam doesn't even wait for James' reply before heading further into the house. "James," He quickly replies, following the man uncertainly. The man leads James into the kitchen where he can see various supplies scattered along the counters. Sam moves to a little camping stove that he lights, placing a pot on top of the little burner, "Chicken noodle?" He asks, holding up a family sized can of Chicken Noodle soup. "Yes please," James says, nodding at his choice. Once the soup is in the pot, Sam adds some water then turns back to you, "So, you run into those bitches scabbing the city for men yet?" The bitterness in his voice startles James, leaving him momentarily fighting the urge to flee, "No, you wouldn't have," He says at James' reaction, "You see, there's a group of ladies who are looking for men. And all they want you for is your cum." He gives a humorless smile, "Now that may have been a wet dream before this all started, but these girls ain't the types to ask if you want a good time." Curious, James gestures for him to continue. "I saw a caravan of them, at least a dozen ladies, and three cages, all with a naked man inside." He shrugs, "That night, I slipped close enough to the camp to talk with one of the men, damn shame I couldn't get him free. He said all those bitches went on about was fucking and sucking guys, almost as obsessed as those Infected bitches, these girls claimed that if they swallowed a load, it kept them immune from Infection for a couple of hours, and getting a load in their cunts will keep them immune for the better part of a day." He sneers, "Apparently, all men are useful for is the 'Cure' and we dont have any say in the matter." Sam stirs the soup, pulling two bowls out of the sink, rinsing them with some bottled water, then filling them with the steaming hot soup. Realizing that he hasn't had a hot meal in nearly a month, James eagerly takes the offered bowl in spite of the obviously unsanitary conditions. The first mouth full of hot soup almost melts on his tongue, his eyes closing part way as he savors the taste, "Oh god, that's good." He barely whispers. The two men eat in silence for several minutes, Sam slurping the last of his soup noisily as James tries to spoon the last few drops from his own bowl. "So, uh, you had many run ins with these ladies?" James asks, trying to make conversation. Sam seems to bristle, "Yeah, I've come across them a few times now." He waves his spoon in front of him in a broad gesture, "A few days after the whole caravan thing, I bumped into this blond skank while scavenging. Took her all of five seconds to talk her way into my pants. I couldn't believe my luck, some hot little piece of ass willing to spread her legs for me as soon as I met her? I thought I was in heaven." He chuckles humorlessly, "I buried my bone balls deep in that sweet little cunt of hers, fucking blew my load in less than a minute." He stops suddenly. "Don't you judge now, I hadn't had a piece of ass that sweet in years, and it had been months since the last time I'd been laid, you'd have done no better." Continuing, "I didn't realize my mistake until I laid down beside her to catch my breath. I caught her trying to slip something into my drink, I think she was trying to drug me or something. Anyway, I caught her and it turned into a big fight. Now, I'm not too much a man to hit a girl, but this little bitch could fight. She had to be ex military or something." With a shrill suspenseful sound, the screen turns black and the credits begin to scroll across the screen. As the credits scroll, white drops drip from the names in the credits. You watch the credits for a few seconds before reaching for the remote, you consider if you want to watch another show, or if you'd prefer to turn the television off for the time being. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S1E3">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a young man, James, grim faced as he eats a bowl of soup across from another man. Images of the other man talking animatedly, a hint of madness in his eyes. All of these images punctuated by images of the Infected lurking in the shadows or standing in the streets. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. Sam walks back to the little camp stove, turning off the burner and checking the little pot for any soup he may have missed the first time. "Damn Infected skank showed up and we both bolted." The anger is obvious on his face, "I hope that fucking thing caught her." Shrugging, his expression suddenly softening, "Second door on the right is a spare bedroom. Without a further word, he heads down the hall, stepping through the door opposite the one he had indicated to James. James hear a faint click as the door is locked from the inside. Not entirely sure what to think of Sam, but realizing that its too late to find another safe place for the night, James heads for the room he had offered, locking the door behind himself as well. Laying down in bed, it isn't long before James hears Sam exit his room. Through the night, he can hear the other man moving through the house. Sometimes, it sounds like he's pacing, other times he will move quickly from one part of the house to another. At one point, he stopped outside James' door, James could hear him breathing, but nothing else. Finally, late in the night, exhaustion overcomes James and he falls asleep. James wakes with a start, a solid knock on his door interrupting his troubled dreams. "Rise and shine," Sam calls, "I pulled my last package of bacon for you, so you're going to drag your ass out of bed and help me eat it." His tone is light hearted in spite of his crude language. Opening the bedroom door, James is assaulted by the smell of freshly cooked bacon. He half smiles in spite of himself at the smell. When he reach the kitchen, he finds a plate, stacked high with bacon, Sam setting on the other side of the table, devouring an equally tall pile from his own plate. "Been a long time since I've had someone else around," Sam begins, "How about you stick around, we can make a go of it together. Besides, its always nice to have someone around who can watch your back." He continues around a mouth full of bacon. James is clearly a bit unsure about Sam. He seems like a nice guy, but he can't quite shake the feeling that there's something off about the man. James was headed for the mountains. But at the same time, it would be nice to have another uninfected human being around. He just opens his mouth to reply to Sam before he's interrupted. A banging noise from the door disturbs the peaceful quiet of their breakfast making both James and Sam jump. "Fuck me! You expecting company?" James inquires. "No man, but it could be anyone. Infected, another survivor or those crazy bitches." Sam hisses. Sam raises a good point, James gets up and walk as quietly as he can to the door. Unfortunately the door has no spyhole or windows to see through. The only way he's going to see who's on the other side is if he opens it. As James contemplates what to do, a loud bang is heard. "That isn't a knock" Sam whispers to James urgently "thats someone trying to break the door down. We should hide." Since opening and running both seem like stupid ideas right now. James and Sam run deeper into the house, entering their respective rooms. "Shit." James mutters to himself "It probably would of been better to stick together. Oh well too late now." Just then James hears the door being broken down, a few seconds later he can see two figures casting shadows through the door frame. "Are you sure a cock lives here?" A slightly gruff female voice asks "I'm pretty sure a rat wouldn't be happy living here." "Definitely." Says the more gentle but bored sounding second female voice replies, "Blondie fucked up capturing him but we were able to track him. He's not half as smart as he thinks he is." "In fairness it doesn't take much to outsmart Blondie." "Whatever. You check the other side of the hall, I'm gonna see if there is anything we can scavenge." Just then from where James is hiding, a very tall woman come into your view. She's is well built but by no means unattractive. She has a long brown ponytail and has deep brown tan. She is wearing a white tank top, a sleeveless denim jacket and some ripped black trousers. She is also unbelievably stacked. Her tits seem to be the same size as her head. As James admires the sight of her, she steps into the room and starts to look around. James holds his breath as she gets closer and closer to where he is hiding. With a shrill suspenseful sound, the screen turns black and the credits begin to scroll across the screen. As the credits scroll, white drops drip from the names in the credits. You watch the credits for a few seconds before reaching for the remote, you consider if you want to watch another show, or if you'd prefer to turn the television off for the time being. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S1E4">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a young man, James, looking at the front door of the house ad something slams into it, the door clearly splintering.. Images of the other man wild eyed, looking for a means of escape. Both men scrambling, searching for a place to hide from whatever is about to come. All of these images punctuated by images of the Infected lurking in the shadows or standing in the streets. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. James tries his best not to jump as he hears a voice shout from the kitchen. "Hey Casey!?" "What!?" The woman close to him, which he can only assume is Casey, replies. "There is definitely someone here! The cooker is still warm!" Well fuck there goes any chance of them leaving anytime soon. "Yeah well I'll keep looking!" Then Casey turns around out of James' room and into Sam's room. His heart goes cold as he hears her chuckle. "Fee-fi-fo-fum I smell the cock of a well-hung man." If James wasn't scared half to death, he might of laughed at that terrible joke. Then all he hears is a scuffle. Looks like Sam wasn't as lucky (or as good at hide-and-seek) as James, and Casey found him but she hasn't called out to her friend yet. If James went out to help Sam it would be two against one and he'd have the element of surprise, but then again it's a cruel world and they are only looking for one guy so they'll probably leave after getting him rounded up. "Well he did share his bacon with me," James mumbles to himself.and save him. As he comes out of his hiding spot and enter Sam's room, he can see Casey with Sam in a headlock. "We don't want Miri getting all the fun do we?" Casey whispers to Sam "I might as well take you for a test drive before the girls get their hands on you cutie." Well that explains why she hasn't called her friend over. Sam's struggling gets weaker and weaker with every passing second and just as James gets right behind Casey he hears her starting to unbuckle the other man's belt. James has to act now before Sam passes out. He's preparing to grab Casey when he hears a shout from the other end of the house, "Incoming! We've got to move!" Then James hears them. More than one of the Infected screaming as they rush the house. Not sure what else to do, you quickly step back, hoping not to be seen. Casey growls in frustration, "Alright bitch boy, you can either come with us without a fight, or I can break your fucking leg and leave you for the Futa." "You," Sam almost spits the words, clearly unhappy. James watches as Sam is shoves out of the room, the woman following a couple of steps behind, "Found the pitch that got away," She calls out. The second they are out of sight, James moves, slipping into the closet to hide until the Infected pass. Outside he can hear shouting, a single gunshot, then more gunshots. Then the shooting ends, there's no longer any sounds of the Infected. James slowly slips from his hiding place and moves across the house. Glancing out the broken front door, he can see several dead Infected laying in the street, along with a couple who are clearly hurt and trying to drag themselves toward their last seen prey. Knowing that time is important if he's going to help Sam, but also knowing he needs to be prepared, he quickly rummages through the house for supplies, only leaving once his backpack is full. Staying clear of the Infected, he starts off in the direction the dead and injured ones seem to be facing. A couple of hours later, he's about to give up the search and try to find a safe place to stay for the night when James sees smoke coming from a couple of blocks away. Deciding that it shouldn't take long to find the source of the fire, he start in that direction. A few minutes later, he can see that the smoke is coming from the chimney of a large house about a block further down the road. Tense, James wonders if this is the same people who took Sam, or if it could be someone else. Slipping into a nearby alley, James drops his pack and proceeds on foot towards the house, trying to remain in cover as best he can. As he nears the house, the first thing that strikes him is the smell of cooking meat, the second thing that he realizes is that he can hear the sound of two people talking, both female from the sounds of them. Sneaking closer in the hopes of getting a look at who he is dealing with, he leans around the corner of the house he is huddled beside. He can see three ladies, all between their late teens and their early thirties. All three of them are dressed in pants, with belts, t-shirts, and one of them has what appears to be a scarf around her neck. The blonde of the group leans over the railing, looking down the street away from James, a rifle slung loosely over her shoulder. Much closer, James hears a faint crunch, followed by a woman's voice, "Now, this can play out one of two ways." She pauses for a brief moment, "You can move real slowly, keeping your hands where I can see them. Then we can both walk back to the house and get to know each other like proper people." Another pause, longer this time, "Or, you can do something stupid like run, or try for my gun, in which case I'm going to assume you're trouble. And I won’t hesitate to blow your fucking brains all over the side of this house if I think you're trouble," She presses the barrel of her gun against the back of James' head to emphasize her point, "We understand each other?" Her voice carries a dangerous undertone. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S2E1">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Images of a woman, a man talking to her before exiting the building. The woman looks sad, clearly unhappy being alone. Images of Futa moving through the trees in a forest, seeking prey. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image of Jasmine looking at a calendar. It had been three days since she last saw Brandon. He had left in search of supplies and never returned. Brushing a long strand of blond hair behind her ear, she takes a deep breath, for the first time, admitting to herself that Brandon wasn't coming back. While part of her clearly mourns loosing him, she quickly turns her thoughts to survival. With only a few days worth of food remaining, she realizes that she will have to find food soon if she is going to survive. When Brandon left, he took the rifle with him, but he did leave the pistol, along with the box of ammo the two of them had found in the cabin they have been staying in. There were also some traps in the basement that she had considered setting up but ultimately decided against it. Considering her options, she pulls the pistol close to herself, turns off the small lantern beside her, and buries herself under a small pile of blankets for the night. She'd sleep on it, then set out in the morning. She wakes a little later than she had intended, the sun is up and the battery powered clock beside the bed claims its just past 10am. She gathers her things in a flurry of activity while chewing on the last few slices of jerky for breakfast before heading out. Once outside of the little cabin, she spends a few seconds looking around, taking one last look at the place she has called home for the last few weeks. Sighing inwardly, she glances up the mountain in the direction of the lodge she knows rests near it's peak. As she starts out, she sets a brisk pace, hoping to reach the lodge by nightfall, but within an hour, she realizes that its going to take longer than she had hoped to get there. Two days, maybe three. Staying just inside the treeline for the sense of safety it gives her, she follows the vehicle strewn highway up the mountain. By late afternoon, her thoughts turn to finding shelter for the night. Seeing what appears to be a cabin just a short distance from the highway, she slips further into the treeline, approaching the building cautiously. While the small cabin doesn't look like its had a coat of paint in a decade or more, it otherwise seems to be in good repair. Suddenly, motion just a little further into the woods draws her attention. She cant make the figure out clearly, but from what she can see, it looks like a woman wearing a long jacket, wandering aimlessly through the trees. Knowing that the Infected are almost always naked, she starts to cautiously approach the figure in the woods. Making sure there is no one, or nothing nearby, she calls cautiously, "Miss?" She realizes her mistake almost instantly. The figure spins towards her, its long jacket flaring out around it, exposing the Flasher's naked form beneath. Before she can react, the small framed Flasher crouches and springs in her direction, jumping an alarming distance to tackle her to the ground. The Flasher's lustful howl fills the evening air. Seconds later, other Infected's howls can be heard in reply. Even as she struggles to free herself, the Flasher tears at her clothing, exposing her body to the cold air of the forest. She knows she doesn't have much time to fight the Flasher off if she hoped to escape. Its rigid cock bobs dangerously near her groin, and she can hear the sounds of other Infected rapidly approaching. Frantically, she swings at the Flasher, somehow managing to knock it off of her. Scrambling to her feet, she runs for the house with every ounce of speed she can manage. As she nears the house, she can hear the Flasher behind her, howling loudly in fraternization as she flees. Jasmine barely acknowledge that the front door of the cabin is open as she dives through the opening and slam the door shut behind her. A split second later, the Flasher slams into the door hard enough to rattle it in its frame. With her back against the door, she tries to catch her breath. After a few seconds, her adrenaline spikes as she realizes that the Flasher is no longer pounding on the door at her back, the evening descending into an eerie silence. Turning to the door, she locks it, then turns back towards the rest of the room. Looking around, she sees that the living room is small but cozy, including a long couch with a throw blanket over the back. Cautiously, she makes her way further into the house, checking for potential threats or resources. When she finds the kitchen, she hears something crash through the living room window. As she turns towards the noise, she sees the Flasher crouching on the floor near the couch, tensing to spring. Rushing towards the Flasher, it tackles her to the ground with almost no effort. Pinning her shoulders to the ground with its legs, its cock thrusts and bobs near her face, even as it tears at her clothes with its hands. Feeling her pussy exposed to the cool air, she can't help but moan in pleasure as the Flasher buries its face inside of her pussy, its tongue driving deep into her depths. Her lips part as she moans, the Flasher's beautiful, delicious looking cock dangling in her face, brushing her lips. Jasmines lips part of their own accord, her arousal getting the best of her as she tries to swap her lips around the head of the Flasher's cock. Her head bobs up and down the Flasher's cock, moaning in pleasure at the intoxicating taste as its infectious precum leaks into her mouth. Suddenly, the Flasher is no longer on top of her, her lips seeking a cock that is no longer there as she whimpers at the sudden loss. In a haze, she can hear sounds around her, then hands on her body. The sounds almost sound like voices, but she knows that cant be right, can it? The hands on her body aren't groping at her naked body, they seem to be moving her instead. She thinks she hear a voice saying something about not having a dose of cure ready, followed by a soft apology in your ear. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S2E3">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Images of a woman, alone walking down a forest road.. The woman looks sees a Futa, dressed in only a long coat. She's attacked, the Flasher raping the woman's mouth. Then there's a shadowy figure there. Images of that shadowy figure moving near her, the sound of his zipper being pulled down. Slowly, the grainy images clarify into a crystal clear image of a man placing the tip of his cock at her lips.. When she feels a cock press against her lips, she wraps her lips around it greedily, desperate to taste more of the Infected's cum. But this cock doesn't taste quite the same, it doesn't induce the same lustful need in her that the Flasher's had caused just minutes earlier. As her head begins to clear, she can hear the soft sound of a vehicle's engine, she tries forcing the cock from her mouth, but its owner holds her head in place. A voice again, "Sorry lady, you need some cure, otherwise you're going to turn." A moment later, the cock seems to swell and twitch in her mouth, stream after stream of salty sweet cum splashing across her tongue. At first, she tries to spit it out, but a hand holds her mouth closed, "Swallow it," The voice says urgently. When she doesn't immediately comply, she feels a hand massage her throat, triggering a swallow reflex. Almost as soon as she swallows, the hands release her mouth and throat, a second later she feels a blanket being wrapped around her naked body. Within moments, she drifts off to sleep. At first, her dreams are filled with the beautiful Infected. Gathered around her, violating her body in every way possible as she begs for even more. But as she continues to dream, the Infected begin to become a source of fear and revulsion once more. The last thing she sees before she wakes with a start is an Infected, its cock as thick as her thigh, trying to force its cock between her legs. As she sits up, heart pounding in her throat and blankets tangled around her. She hears a soft female voice nearby, "Its ok!" She says softly but urgently, "You're ok, your with friends." Turning towards the voice, she sees a woman, a little older than her, sitting in a chair in the corner of the dimly lit room. "I'm Rei," The woman says softly, giving Jasmine a reassuring smile, her hands spread before her in a non-threatening gesture. When Jasmine doesn't immediately speak, she continues, "You're lucky, we heard the Flasher scream when it spotted you, and we got to you before any more Infected did." She makes a little shrug, as if unsure of what else to say, "Do you have a name?" She asks awkwardly. "Jasmine," She barely whispers. "It's a pleasure to meet you Jasmine," She says softly, looking a little self conscious, "Its just been me and my dad for a long time, its good to see a new face." The two of them sit in awkward silence. Jasmine's mind playing through the hazy events leading to her being here. Rei looks her way, looking unsure of what to say. "I'm going to go let my dad know your up." She steps towards the door, pausing before opening it, "Would you like something to eat?" "Yeah," Jasmine say softly, realizing just how hungry she really is. When Rei opens the door, she can see what looks like a small living room beyond before the door creaks closed. A minute later, there is a soft knock on the bedroom door. A masculine voice comes through the door, "Mind if I step inside? I've got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for you if you're still interested." After a brief pause, he continues, "Bread was baked fresh this morning." Her stomach growls audibly at the mention of food. "Yeah," She says weakly. Stepping inside, Jasmine sees a man, his hair graying at the temples and a heavily peppered short beard. He looks surprisingly uncomfortable, "I thought we should be, uh," He pauses, "More formally introduced." Setting in the chair his daughter had vacated a few minutes earlier, Her mind goes back to the Flasher attack, and the vague events following it, blushing slightly, "I, um, thank you." She says finally. When he offers her the sandwich, she takes it directly off the plate instead of taking the plate. She takes a big bite of the sandwich, swallowing almost before she can chew, then taking another big bite of the delicious, freshly baked bread. "My name is Lance," The man says, "My daughter said your name is Jasmine?" Not waiting for your reply, "I don't know where you're from, or where you're headed." He begins, "But considering the condition we found you in, I'm guessing you're alone." He looks her way, seeing that she's finished more than half the sandwich already. "You're welcome to stay here with us for a few days if you want. Otherwise, we can give you some basic supplies and drop you off somewhere relatively safe." Standing back up, "I'll go make you another sandwich." The screen fades, then fades back in much later in the day. That evening, Jasmine finds herself sitting around at a table, with Lance and Rei, sipping at a cup of hot chocolate that Lance had brought her a few minutes earlier. "Its just the two of us now," Rei continues her story. "We haven't seen another human being in what feels like forever. But my dad does a good job of taking care of me, and we've been able to find enough supplies to stay comfortable for quite a while." She shrugs happily. Seeing that its her turn to tell her tale, she take a deep breath to begin. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S2E3">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a young woman, Jasmine, in the back of a vehicle wrapped in a blanket. Images of her waking up in a clean bed, a woman sitting in a chair nearby. A fatherly looking man sitting across from her at a table, his daughter sitting at the space between them All of these images punctuated by images of the Infected lurking in the shadows or racing through the trees. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. Taking a deep breath, Jasmine decides that telling them the truth cant really hurt anything. "I'd heard the rumors like everyone else, but I really didn't think it would ever affect me," She starts, "My boyfriend and a group of my friends decided to spend the weekend up in the mountains," Her memory goes back to what happened, a sense of sadness coming over her, "One of the Infected came out of nowhere, tackling my friend Jenny. My boyfriend and Mike pulled it off, but it just grabbed hold of Mike and dragged him down instead." Jasmine looks up, meeting the gaze of these two strangers who helped her, "My boyfriend yelled for the rest of us to run. Somehow, we lost Emily on the way back to the cabin, we never saw her again." She finds herself fighting back tears, "There were nine of us, huddled in that cabin, trying to figure out what to do. We were terrified, and the longer that we waited for the rest of our group to come back to the cabin, the more tense things seemed to become." She take a long sip of the hot chocolate, trying to gather her thoughts. When she sits it back down, she can feel a tear trace down the side of her nose, "The next morning, when we looked outside, we saw three of them around the cabin." She takes another sip of hot chocolate, "We didn't know what to do," She blurts the next words as she breaks down and starts to cry, "One of them was Jenny." "Its ok," Lance says softly, "In your own time," As he speaks, Rei gets up from her chair, stepping to Jasmine's side and putting her arms around her. Slowly, she get her tears back under control, "Most of Jenny's facial features were the same, and she was wearing the dangly heart earrings she loved so much, if it wasn't for that, we'd have never known it was her." Jasmine's eyes well with tears again, "They hadn't seen us at that point, and we just didn't know any better," She fights down the urge to break down again, taking a deep, calming breath, "We wanted to help, so we tried to lure her into the house so we could lock her in a room or something until someone could find a cure. But she was so fucking fast, and the other ones saw us too." The words start coming on their own now, "They were on us before we even knew our plan had gone all to shit. Brandi and Kevin went down first, the third one was in the midst of us, and everyone was running and screaming. Somehow Brandon and me locked ourselves into the bathroom." "Someone tried knocking on the bathroom door, trying to get in, but we were too scared to open it." Her eyes take on an even more haunted look than they had before, "We listened to her get raped by one of those things just outside the bathroom door." She shudders visibly. "I dont know how long we huddled in that bathroom, but it was at least a full day before we were brave enough to open the door. The place was trashed, so we gathered anything we thought would be useful and left." She takes another long drink of the hot chocolate, realizing that the cup is almost empty now, "Brandon did almost all of the scavenging while I stayed in the new cabin we had found. He always came back within a day, two at most, but this time, he said he would be back within a few hours since he was just heading to a nearby cabin. I was nearly out of food. So I left." She looks down at the cup in her hands, as if the dregs of the hot chocolate might hold the answers she seeks, "We had been talking about heading up the mountain to the Lodge. So I decided to head that way, hoping to find Brandon there." Rei and Lance exchange a look, Lance finally speaks up, "The Lodge is dangerous, we've looted it as best we could, but the place is infested with those things. So we mostly steer clear of the area." The thought of not being able to go to the Lodge makes her feel sadder than she had expected. "What am I going to do?" She ask yourself, feeling like she's been cut adrift. "You can stay with us," Rei offers quickly. Almost as soon as Rei says the words, Lance gives her a hard look that she seems to ignore, "You can stay with is for a few days," He says firmly, "We've got plenty of supplies right now, you can stay here for four or five days, then we can give you some supplies when you leave. Give you a fair shake." "But Dad!" Rei says, "We have plenty, she can stay! And she can help us when we need to leave the cabin." Her voice has a pleading quality to it. "Rei," Lance sighs, "We'll talk about this later." His gaze returns to Jasmine, "You're our guest, and we treat our guests like family." His expression seems to soften, "You're welcome to stay for a few days. If you want to stay longer than that, then we can all set down and talk about it, see if it will work. Fair enough?" Jasmine finds herself nodding, mulling over the possibility of staying. Meanwhile, Rei blurts out, "Thank you Daddy!" Then turns to Jasmine, giving her a big hug, "You're going to love it here." Finally breaking Rei's hug, she politely excuses herself and head back to the room she had been staying in. When she crawls into bed, she can hear Lance and Rei talking, sometimes softly, other times loudly and angrily. After a while, she hears Rei storm off to another part of the house. She can only assume that they were arguing over whether or not she can, or should, stay. After a few minutes, she hears a soft knock at her bedroom door, "You still up?" Lance asks softly. "Yeah," Jasmine replies. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S2E4">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a young woman, Jasmine, sitting at the table, talking animatedly, often in tears. Images of her early days after the outbreak began, watching her friends fall to the Futa one by one.. All the while the man and woman who have taken her in listening to her tale, followed by a heated argument over whether or not they should let her stay. Finally, Jasmine crawls into bed, pulling the blankets up over herself to ward off the slight chill of the night. All of these images punctuated by images of the Infected lurking in the shadows or racing through the trees. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. "Good," Lance says, opening the door and stepping inside. Walking into the room, he sits down in the room's one chair, "I'm guessing you heard most of that?" "Not most, just the loud parts," Jasmine admits, "Most of it was too soft to understand." Lance nods, seeming to appreciate her honesty, "My daughter wants you to stay," He begins, "And I'm not as sure its a good idea." He has no hostility in his voice, "But my daughter brought up a good point. She said that I've always told her to look out for others when she can, to give people a hand up when they need it." He seems to fidget, trying to find the right words, "I'm so proud of her. She's a better person than I'll ever be." A brief pause, "When everything hit the fan, I took care of family first, but she still wants to reach out to help a complete stranger, even if it could cost us the resources we need to survive." Taking a deep breath, he continues, "If you want to move on, that's fine. We'll make sure you have everything you can carry when you leave here. But if you want to stay, you need to show me that you're useful, that you can pull your own weight." "Rei wants to start a garden, and she's been collecting seeds when she finds them." Lance lets out a sigh, "There's an old greenhouse outside that she's going to start planting tomorrow." His gaze locks on yours, "If you want to stay with us, you're going to make a supply run with me tomorrow." He reaches out, patting her thigh through the blankets in a fatherly gesture, "Think about what you want to do, we can start working out the details tomorrow." After Lance leaves her room, she spends a lot of her night thinking about what would be best. Should she try to make it on her own? Or should she stay with Lance and Rei? Come morning, Jasmine step out of her bedroom to the smell of fresh baked bread and fried eggs. Her stomach growls loudly enough that Rei looks up from the table where she had been working on a crossword puzzle. "Looks like you're just in time for breakfast!" She says cheerily. Lance looks over his shoulder where he is cooking on a propane stove, "Good to see you're up. I trust you slept well?" "Not really, but its been a long time since I got a good night's sleep," She admits, "Besides, I had a lot on my mind." "Can I help with anything?" She ask as she nears the kitchen. Lance opens his mouth like he's going to say something, but Rei cuts in, "The kitchen is my Dad's domain, better just to stay out," She jokes. Behind her, Lance scowls in her direction, but doesn't say a word. Taking a seat at the table, "I've spent a lot of time thinking about last night. Whether I should go, or if I should stay with the two of you." Lance and Rei both look her way, anticipation obvious on their faces as they wait for her to continue. "I'd like to stay," Jasmine's gaze quickly shifts to Lance before he can get a word in edge wise, "But don't want to be a burden." She pauses, letting the two think about the non-answer, "I was told that I can stay here for a few days, so that's what I'm going to do." "I really don't want to be alone," She's never spoken words more true than those, "I'll help in any way that I can while I'm here, and in a few days, you two can talk about it." She looks at Lance, "If either of you have any misgivings, or I'm more trouble than I'm worth, then I'll leave without an argument." "But if I you both want me to stay," Jasmine trails off, "Well, I think I'd like that." Lance nods, obviously agreeing with her reasoning. Rei is grinning ear to ear, already going on as if Jasmine's staying is already a final decision. Breakfast is a blur of bubbly conversation from Rei, and both Lance and Jasmine enjoy their meals, both of them acting slightly subdued. When Rei takes her dishes, headed for the kitchen to wash them, Lance looks at her, "If you're making a supply run with me, we need to have an understanding." He begins, "If I tell you to do something, you need to do it, period." He waits until she nods before continuing, "We always stay close to each other, we never leave each others sight. If I'm searching a room, you're watching for trouble, if you're searching a room, I'm keeping an eye out. Understood?" "Yeah," She replies softly. Nodding, he stands, "Get yourself ready, we'll leave in about half an hour." Walking into the kitchen, he picks up two empty baby food jars before disappearing in the direction of his bedroom. With Rei doing the dishes, and Lance going to his room, Jasmine slips back into her own bedroom, looking around the room, she comes to the realization that after being rescued, all she still has is the clothes she is currently wearing. Sighing inwardly, she leaves the room and starts to wander the house while she waits for Lance. When she passes Lance's room, she hears a soft moan from inside. Curious, she reaches for the doorknob, turning it gently and opening the door just a crack. Inside, she can see Lance, kneeling on the bed as he strokes his cock. As she watch, his cock twitches, spraying stream after stream of cum. With his free hand, he holds the two baby food jars out before himself, catching his seed in the two small containers. Moving quickly for fear of being caught, she makes her way back to the kitchen area where Rei is. When Lance enters the room a few minutes later, Jasmine and Rei are chatting about her garden, "Ready to go?" Lance asks, Jasmine's eyes going to the two baby food jars in his hand, a surprising amount of cum in each. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S2E5">>

Grainy images flicker across the screen as the beginning credits start to scroll. Flickering images of a man and a young woman, yelling at one another. Images of Jasmine sitting at a table, eating a hearty breakfast. An image of Lance handing Jasmine a small jar of suspicious white fluid that makes her grimace. All of these images punctuated by images of the Infected lurking in the shadows or racing through the trees. Over the next couple of seconds, the screen clears up to reveal a crystal clear image and the episode picks up exactly where the previous one let off. Once Lance and Jasmine are both in the little sports car, Lance hands her one of the two little jars, "Save it for when we get where we're going. Then drink it before getting out of the car." He instructs. "What?!?" Jasmine asks, shocked at what he's asking. Lance opens his mouth, as if preparing to argue with her, then sighs, "You really have been isolated, haven't you?" Grimacing, he explains, "I know its gross, but if you drink it, you'll effectively be immune to the Infected for about two hours." He cant meet your gaze, "Its helped more times that I'm willing to admit." Without a further word, he starts the car, his body language making it obvious that he doesn't want to talk further on the subject. The two of them drive in silence for almost twenty minutes before Lance finally speaks. Along the way, twice she sees Infected that started chasing the car, but they quickly outdistanced them both times. Finally, Lance pulls over, pulling a map from between the seats, the back of his hand brushing Jasmine's thigh as he pulls the map out, "Take a look," He says, showing her the map. Little black circles dot the map, some with letters next to them "G" "F" "W" or "P", with about half of them crossed off in red ink. On the map are four little red stars. "The red stars are safe houses," He points at one of them, "That's where we are staying right now." You notice that the red stars each have all four letters next to them. As if reading her mind, "The letters indicate supplies that I haven't collected for one reason or another. Most of the locations indicated with a 'G' has gas stored there, in some kind of tank. F and W are places where there is food and water. It may be a creek, it may be huckleberry bushes, or it may be a house where someone stocked up on non-perishables." He shrugs, "You'd be surprised how many places like that are up in these mountains." "The P indicates a location where there is a quiet generator and enough fuel to run it for at least a couple of days in a pinch. Black circles indicate houses or buildings that I've been able to find in the area, and the red X on some of them indicate that I wasn't able to find anything useful there, or I've cleaned it out already." He indicates a part of the map with three black circles close to each other, "This is where we are right now. We're going to park the car here and go down over this bank to search these three cabins." He indicates the embankment to their right. Looking that way, she think she can see one of the cabins beside a dry creek bed down the hill. "If we get separated, we meet back at the car," Picking up his little jar of cum, he opens it and tosses it back." Grimacing, he croaks, "Bottoms up," Then reaches for a bottle of water tucked behind the seat, opening it, and taking a long drink. Opening her own little jar, she closes her eyes and tilts the container, cringing as the contents slide onto her tongue. Swallowing quickly, she sees Lance fight back a chuckle at her reaction and offers her the last half of the water bottle. Taking the bottle, she tilts it back, drinking the rest of the water in a single go. "Thanks." Jasmine mumbles, realizing this is the second time she's had this man's cum in her mouth. Putting the thought aside, they both get out of the car and start down the hill. As they start down the slope, Jasmine notices that its much steeper than it had first appeared, making her skid and stumble at times as she makes her descent. At one point, when she starts to fall, Lance reaches out, trying to catch her, only they both end up falling down the last few feet of the hill, landing in a heap with Lance kneeling above Jasmine, his face very close to hers. Lance lets out a nervous little chuckle. For a split second, she feels the urge to lean forward and kiss him. The way he hovers over her, looking into her eyes, she starts to wonder if he's fighting that same urge. Finally, he blinks, then begins to pull back. Pulling back suddenly, Lance seems to break her little trance. "So much for catching you when you fall," He says lightly. Once he gets to his feet, he reaches down, offering her a hand up. Then suddenly out of nowhere an Infected lunges and pins Lance down. He is struggling to break free of the Infected's grasp. Stunned Jasmine watches as the Infected pulls down his pants and attempts to turn him over. Breaking out of her shock she stands up and tries to push the Infected off of him but the Infected is strong and is holding on tightly. As Jasmine struggles with pushing the Infected off, it's giant cock has just entered Lance's asshole. Acting quickly she grabs a rock and smash it on the Infected's head. The Infected groans and falls off Lance, unconscious. "Thanks I owe you one." Lance says. Lance pulls his pants up. "We need to get moving there could be more." <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FATV to "S1E1">>

Flipping on the TV you see that some kind of show is just starting to come on. My name is Lena and it is my great pleasure to introduce you to The Freakshow. The Freakshow is a series of stories set to follow certain special individuals, they call themselves Altered beings and they have fantastic abilities. Each episode will follow different Altered beings around so you can see the kind of exploits that they get up to hidden behind the veil of deepest night. Now tonight's episode will follow a Mousy young girl. She goes by the Handle Muris, and her mutation seems to have changed her into a human-mouse hybrid..... Some might even call her a Were-Mouse even though she can not change back and forth between the forms as a traditional Were creature should be able to. I must warn you that tonight's episode, some of you might find disturbing. But for now, here it is. The scene shifts from the studio room, to the deep night in what looks like an industrial area outside a major city, but one you don't recognize. In the center of the camera, you see what looks like a late teens or early twenties girl who has some of the facial appearance of a mouse... She appears cute even with her razor sharp teeth, and whiskers... Behind her is some kind of building, it looks like it could be a factory or maybe a warehouse. It looks like she's trying to recreate some of those hunting videos you will see in the sporting goods section in any Wal-Mart across the US. Muris - Alright so I've finally tracked down the Villain, I don't know if this is his lair or just someplace that he's holed up at. Now some of you may not know what's going on, so I'll give you a brief backstory before I go inside. You need to know what crimes this guy's committed. Muris - It started around six months ago with peoples pet's disappearing from neighborhoods. Then people started to notice that some of their things were disappearing. Muris - Then 24 hours ago this THING was witnessed harassing a young girl. (An image pops up on the main screen showing what looks like a Naga from most games, and mythologies. It's probably a late teen Hispanic looking boy from the waist up, but he has a snake lower body. Looking closer at his face, you also see what looks like needle thin fangs a couple inches long.) Muris - So I'm going to go in there and bring this Monster in for questioning. With that, she turns her back on the Camera and walks towards the front door of the building behind her. As she gets closer you can tell that the door was pushed open and bent a little out of shape. (Muris stops and points down at the ground where it looks like some super snake has recently traveled over the dirty concrete. Muris - Shhh, look here see the marks on the ground. He's definitely gone this way. With that Muris slips through the door and she disappears for a moment until the Cameraman can slip in behind her. As soon as the Cameraman makes it through the door you can see Muris acting all sneaky and trying to dramatically sneak across the open floor of the building, which turns out to have been a warehouse..... An empty warehouse. You can't tell what happens but suddenly the mousy girl yells for the man to follow her, and she starts sprinting for the back of the warehouse. The camera catches her slipping around a stack of boxes, and by the time the Cameraman catches up all you can see is a door that looks like it was knocked open as someone ran through it at high speed. The Cameraman takes off towards the door, you can hear him huffing and puffing as the effort of running is taking a toll on his body. As the view clears the door, you can see that the night has gotten worse, it looks like a storm is rolling in. There are clouds int he sky, and the lights at what looks like a remote power station are flickering in the distance. Occasionally the view changes from the sky and the power station to down at the ground and you can tell that the Cameraman is still following the trail of the two people. After only a few minutes of running, you can see that the power station is coming into view, and that looks like it might be where the two Altered people went. The gate that's supposed to be locked by a chain is ripped open but you can't see anyone anywhere. But as the Cameraman gets closer you can hear the sounds of a ferocious fight is taking place. It takes a few moments for the Cameraman to get close enough to see what's going on, and you can see the mousy girl, Muris standing in front of some kind of box that looks like a generator, or massive power relay, her clothing is ripped, and there you can see what looks like blood leaking down her side. But the man in front of her is in just as bad of shape, it looks like that photo she showed the camera earlier wasn't too far off. He looks like a teenage kid who's legs mutated into some kind of hideous snake length, in total it looks like he's around 30 - 35 feet in length... You can see that his skin is a dark almost bronze color, but his snake half is a bright emerald green color. There are fractal designs all over his length and you can't tell in the light if it's natural or if the designs are painted on. But as you watch you see his lower body is coiling up into a tight circle. You've seen this before it's what a snake does when it gets prepared to leap at its target. Muris looks like she's smart enough to know what's about to happen and just as the snake man leaps at her she flips off to the side, but she leaps face first into something that stops her dead in her tracks, and with how rigid her body loops, you'd swear the girl is getting electrocuted..... You watch is dismay as the snake boy hits the ground where Muris had been standing and then flips around and quickly launches himself at where she's standing now. It's likely that he reacted so fast he didn't even notice that she's not moving, or trying to run away. You watch in disbelief as his mouth comes down on her throat in a wicked bite, and then his body starts jerking and smoking. The power shuts down, but as it does you can hear the sound of the Cameraman starting to retch and vomit. With that, the scene cuts back to the studio. You can see that the two people are rather shaken and the Lena looks rather ill. Lena - Well there you have it, the first episode of The Freakshow. I know it was a little disturbing, and I can promise you that not all of our episodes will be as disturbing..... But I hope that you will check in with us next week. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FSTV to "S1E2">> By Pervy Sage

As you turn on the TV you see the set for The Freakshow looks like you didn't miss any of the episode. Lena - Hello everyone and thank you for joining us for our second episode. Lena - We got some rather negative reviews on the first episode, so we would like to apologize to all of you who felt it was inappropriate. Lena - Now onto tonight's episode, were going to be following Mystiq. She is a self-proclaimed mage of the first order. Here is an excerpt from a small interview I did with her, trying to figure out what a mage of the first order even WAS. The scene shifts from the set, to what looks like a nice little tea parlor. Lots of cream colors, and flowers. Lena - Hello there, Mystiq correct? Mystiq - That's right, and your Lena I really enjoyed your articles when you were with the Associated Press. Your articles were always well written and brought a fresh perspective. Lena - Thank you for your kind words, now in the interests of fresh perspectives, I have some questions for you. If you don't mind that is. Mystiq - Of course, I will gladly answer any of your questions. Lena - Okay, so when I got the information on the episode I was reading the background material on you and realized I had no idea what you were talking about in it. Mystiq - You'd be surprised how often people don't "Get me". Mystiq - So what did you want me to explain. Lena - Well first, you call yourself a Mage of the First Order. WHAT is a mage of the first order, is there some kind of organization called the First order? Mystiq - Hahahaha, it's literally just a figure of speech. Mystiq - What it's supposed to mean is, that I am one of the more powerful mages in existence. Lena - Are there a lot of Mages or people who can use magic? Mystiq - There are a lot of people who do limited Magic, there are also a lot of libraries that Mages hang out at, there are even a lot of orders out there. But to my knowledge, there is no First Order organization. Mystiq - Was there anything else? Lena - Thanks for explaining that, and yeah I have one more question. Lena - How do you actually do magic? Mystiq - Oh that's simple, and my fellow mages are going to hate me for saying this. But oh well. Mystiq - All you need to be able to do is high level math, everyone has a connection to the source. Lena - Wait wait wait, what source? Mystiq - THE source, it's where everything comes from. Lena - You mean God? Mystiq - Maybe, I have no idea. It's just where the power and life comes from. Mystiq - But all you need to do is open that connection, and then think yourself through certain math problems. Lena - It's really that simple? Mystiq - If you consider high-level math simple, sure. The view shifts back to the Studio. Lena - There you go, there was more to the interview that we might release later but that has the information I wanted to pass on. Lena - So now that you have it, let's take a look into the night of Mystiq. I'm told that this was supposed to be a date night, something that she doesn't get too often. The scene shifts again this time to some kind of high rise penthouse. You can see Mystiq getting ready for a night out, and she looks stunning in her little black dress, fishnet stockings, high heels, and her hair done up in some kind of fancy updo. Mystiq - I'm actually looking forward to this, it's been so long since I got to go out and just have fun. There is a sound that reminds you of those huge things that Buddhists ring in their temples. Mystiq - Ahh, he's here I love a punctual man. She grabs her makes a kissing face at the mirror, then turns and grabs her jacket off the back of a chair while walking towards the door. She has a VERY nice walk. The camera cuts out for a second, then it shows the inside of a nice limo Mystiq is cuddled up next to a rather nerdy looking man. Mystiq - I'm sorry James, I didn't think that it would be a problem for you if we recorded the date. James - I don't like it, and I don't understand why it's important. But I still want to try and enjoy the evening, even though I don't like anyone watching this judging us. Mystiq - Oh James you worry too much my dear if anyone judges you just remember that I choose YOU to date, not THEM. The screen cuts out again and starts back up in some kind of a techno club, you can see that James is VERY uncomfortable and there is some kind of tension int he air. People around James and Mystiq just look to tense. You see some man swagger into the Camera's view. Brick - Hey there little girly, long time no see. Mystiq - Seriously, it's been MONTH's since I last had a date and you choose TONIGHT to try and get revenge, Brick. Brick - What can I say, it's the least I can do for all the months you took from my life. Mystiq - You idiot, you beat three men to death, and tried to steal hundreds of millions of dollars in gold. Mystiq - It was my JOB to put you down, at least I didn't cripple or kill you. Brick - Well what can I say, THANKS sweetheart I can't say that I won't do those things to your little boyfriend though. With that Brick turns to James and raises his massive fist, but before he can swing it you see this glowing green field swell up around James putting him in the middle of a medium-sized force field. Mystiq - I am going to put you down Brick, I am going to unmake you as you are. YOU. DO. NOT. MESS. UP. DATE. NIGHT. With each word she screams at Brick some kind of energy leaps out of her chest and slams into Brick, you can see the energy burning holes through his clothing but doing nothing to the skin under it. Brick - Girly did you forget that I am most of the way invulnerable? Mystiq - Nope just getting your attention, and everyone else's so I can do this wee bit o'Magic. With that this Energy mesh rises up and ripples it's way over Brick, encasing him directly. Brick - What the hell, is this another one of your Prisons? Mystiq - No this is what I should have done to you the first time, but I was lenient. With that, you can see mystic and mathematical formulae forming around Brick's body, if it wasn't such a frightening display of power it'd sure be pretty. Then with a last burst of effort the mesh collapses on Brick, there is a blinding flash of light which leaves everyone stunned for a few moments. When the Camera is able to focus you see a young girl standing where Brick had been standing, you can hear the beginning of a wailing scream bubbling up out of her chest. Leslie - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Mystiq never even looks back she just rushes over and dispells the force field over James, but when she helps him to his feet he's not even looking at her. His eyes are locked on the girl who used to be Brick. James - What did you do? Mystiq - Punished him, he will never act that way again. James - What did you do to him? Mystiq - In a small and defeated voice. I turned him into a teenage girl who has different powers than he did originally, he now needs to learn how to deal with all the raging hormones that a female has in that time of her life. James - Geezus, I knew that you would be different but they never told me you would be this terrifying. Mystiq - No one ever believes that until it's to late. You can see the broken look in her eyes as James turns and goes to the female who used to be Brick and helps her away from the scene. The last you see is Mystiq just standing there watching the two of them walk away, the girl in James' arms. The scene shifts back to the studio. Lena - Well damn girl, you can't win them all. But with that tonight's episode is over and we wish you a good night and hope that you will join us next time, on The Freakshow. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FSTV to "S1E3">> By Pervy Sage

As you flip on the TV you see the start of The Freakshow looks like you made it just in time. Settling down in the couch you see Lena is dressed in a rather sexy dress today, low cut, red, and rather clingy it's giving her slender form a barely covered look, and it's a look that you rather enjoy. Lena - Hello and good evening to you all. Lena - I have a treat for you all today, one of the heroes who rescued me when the team I was with was ambushed in Afghanistan is here with us today, and she brought her own story to share with us. Lena - Please everyone welcome the Sand Diamond. When she says that the pans over to the left side where people would normally walk onto a set in pretty much any talk show. You see an Arabic girl she looks like she might be in her early twenties. She's pretty short at maybe five foot two, slender, but she has rather large breasts and large hips. Her nose is very strong and looks like it was used as a battle axe in the ancient past. Her skin is that beautiful bronze color that some Arabic people have. She's wearing an outfit just shy of skin-tight, it looks like black silk pants, tucked into black combat boots, with a black silk midriff shirt. She has a small black face mask that has Diamonds in the corners. Her hair is up in a ponytail, and it's long at least to her mid back. Diamond - Hello Lena, it's wonderful to see you again, and I am very happy to hear that you've been so successful after the way we met. Lena - Well it took war to open my eyes to the evil that is out there in the world, I am just trying to save the rest of humanity learning about what is going on the hard way. Diamond - That is a worthy goal, and it is why my team decided one of us should come here with records of what is happening outside the US, to maybe open the eyes of people in this great nation. Lena - So tell me about the setup for the incident, how did it start, who did it involve, and then we can start the recording and show people what happened. Diamond - Okay, well it started a couple months ago. One of my team deals in information and she was able to intercept a message by our enemies, that one of their senior leaders was going to be in the area to check to see that their interests are well protected and that things were according to their masters' instructions. Lena - Wait, you have proof that there is an overall mastermind to the enemies actions? Diamond - No, not proof just words on an intercepted memo, things that could be anything from lies to misdirection. But we felt that it was sufficient to check on it and try to take one of their bosses down. Lena - So where was this meeting supposed to take place? Diamond - It was supposed to take place in a small village in Afghanistan, there was no information about who would be at the meeting, or what kind of business they were doing there. But anyone who knows how the Afghani government is knows that it was better to be safe and check it out. Lena - Did you want to turn on the recording now? Diamond - Yes, that might be for the best. With that, the view from the studio is replaced with what looks to be some kind of room either underground or in some kind of room that has no access to the outside world, no windows. The room has miscellaneous couches, recliners, what looks like a wall-sized map for planning operations, an actual sand table that several girls are standing around. One of the girls is a tall statuesque woman, obviously Arabic of some kind but she's built like a Greek goddess. She is the tallest of the group, but also the most womanly in appearance, large breasts, and a large ass, she looks almost Egyptian. One is a smaller Pale skinned Arabic girl, she looks like a typical nerd with the exception that she has flawless skin with no visible blemishes. She is the shortest of the group and is wearing glasses. The third girl has odd silvery skin that emits a low-level glow. She is the second shortest of the group. She has very small breasts and almost no ass. You'd almost think she was Asian if she wasn't a silver color. There is Diamond as well, looking just like she did in the studio. The last girl is about average in height and weight maybe 5'6" and 135 pounds. But she has some nasty looking clawed hands, a very well defined muscular body, and when she opens her mouth you can see she has pointed and sharp teeth... All of her teeth are sharp like sharks teeth. Her skin has this odd looking rippled texture, and it has the light appearance of scales to it. Hera - Hey why you always got to record this stuff, Minerva. Minerva - Because all the time they are saying, you are a woman get back in the kitchen, you are a woman you can do nothing but make babies... Minerva - So maybe it is time for SOMEONE to see that we as women are powerful in our own right, that we can stop the evil that is making our country even worse than it was after the Taliban came here to help us fight off the Russians. Quilla - Listen to you two go round and round like husband and wife, why don't you silly children get married and leave the rest of us in peace. Diamond - Quilla why must you antagonize them like that, they just want their own opinions to be known and felt. Quilla - Because we need to be focused on bringing protection to our fellow women who have no one else to protect them, not fighting with each other over minor issues. Hera - Your just an old spinster that no man could want, always running to protect your precious victims but never worrying about stopping the people who cause their fellows to hurt the women and children. Minerva - If you cared so much about stopped the abuse then you would let me USE the knowledge and wisdom I have, allow me to bring those who hurt us the most down. Lyssa - And if you all cared so much about these little things you proclaim to care so much for, you'd allow me to run rampant and tear down the society that allows these abuses, you'd allow me to kill them all and to drown society in their blood. Diamond - And that is why we don't allow you to create the plans, too much death, we want to change society not destroy it all. Diamond - We also don't want all of mankind to die, or be enslaved there needs to be equality and TRUE acceptance for everyone. Quilla - Well why don't you run to America and join in while they are sitting around smoking drugs and singing Kum Bah Yah. Diamond - Wrong time frame, nowadays they run around attacking everyone different than themselves and accusing everyone of being bad if someone disrespects any of the thousand or so little idiotic things they want the government to protect. Diamond - Going to America and asking for help would be tantamount to claiming that we lose and need someone else to fix our problems but we all know that those fixes would be wrong. Minerva - Stop it's time to talk about the mission what are we going to do? Lyssa - You cover me, and I will go in and kill them all. Hera - We capture some and get information out of them, then use it against them in the future. Minerva - I say we watch, document evidence and then bring in some people who can help us to stop their plans. Diamond - I think we should go and observe them, document what they are doing, and if something happens that needs action we stop them then and there. Lyssa - Would I be allowed to kill them. Diamond - Yes. The screen cuts suddenly and Lyssa is standing in front of the camera. Lyssa - That's all the time we have today, but we'll be picking up right were we're leaving off next time. Next episode is going to be the best one yet! <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FSTV to "S1E4">> By Pervy Sage

Remembering the cliff hanger last episode, you quickly turn on the TV in anticipation of what comes next. True to her word, the show picks up right where the previous one left off. Lyssa - Would I be allowed to kill them. Diamond - Yes. Minerva - But I would also be allowed to gather intel, and stay away from the fight? Diamond - Yes, none of us want you in the fight your not built for it. Hera - Then I am agreed, we shall do your plan Diamond. The screen jumps to another perspective. Why do these so-called heroes keep going out at night? Minerva - My drones can see into the farm, there is no one awake in the Village, except those people standing outside the barn. Hera - So what can you see and hear? Minerva - There are several men, I count twelve but it sounds like there might be more. Minerva - I can hear the men talking in I think English, I do not understand them. Minerva - Wait, another of my drones found some cars coming in. They are loud, fast, and very very heavily armored. Lyssa - Mmmm the prey thinks that they are predators. Hera - Your scaring the lil one again Lyssa please, stop doing that until she's doing with her job, we REALLY need her to focus. Lyssa - But she's prey as well, and I want to hunt her so badly.... Diamond - But I won't let you, and you work with us because you know you can't kill me which means you can't take any of them.... I am stronger, faster, and you can't cut my skin. Lyssa - Yeeessssss, you would make a wonderful hunting mate. To bad your so weak that you protect those who we should be dining on. Hera - I said stop, if you want to get released to hunt when we need you to then you will listen. Lyssa - Fiiineeee. Minerva - The new trucks have stopped and the guys in the barn have come out. You wait for a few minutes while the girl seems to be staring off into space, you can't see any controls or cameras so how the hell does she know what's happening elsewhere. As you watch you can see the girl Minerva get paler and paler. Minerva - Oh... Oh goddess, it's horrible. Diamond - What is it, Minerva? Minerva - We need to attack now, they are planning to kill and enslave a lot of people in the coming months, they are going to have the people they enslave work in the mines for them and get them some kind of rock that is in the earth up in the mountains in northern Afghanistan. Lyssa - The prey has spoken, let me out so we can bring them down. Hera - I do not like this, but I do agree with Lyssa we can't allow them to do this. Diamond - I agree. Quilla - Then let us release Lyssa and follow her to the fight, little Minerva you need to run home now, we will tell you about it.... She stops and looks up into the sky. Quilla - Unless you decide to watch and record the whole thing as you normally do. As the girls back off Diamond reaches out and releases Lyssa from her restraints, and they all seem to sigh out in release and the girl runs towards the farm instead of trying to attack them all. You watch as Minerva gets into the small jeep and prepares to drive away, and the rest of the team follows along behind Lyssa. As Minerva drives away the view changes to a top-down view and you can see several people standing around in two groups, it looks like there is a small team talking about stuff in the middle of the group, but the majority are standing in 2 half circles around the guys in the middle. Before Lyssa is even halfway to the group you see three of the team jerk their heads in her direction, then the teams start to form up into one solid group facing Lyssa. It looks like some are pulling weapons out, while others seem to be ripping off clothing. As she gets into sight of the group of people, you watch as they open fire on here. There seem to be two or three people who either use flamethrowers or can control and generate fire, several laser looking beams reach out for her, and dozens of normal weapons fire at her. She runs through it all barely flinching from the many many attacks, you watch in admiration as she tears into the soldiers and literally starts ripping them in half with her claws. As the drone gets lower you can see a lot more detail, and you watch as she jerks her arm around while spinning in a circle, and when her forearm grazes against people you see that she just shreds their flesh like a chainsaw hitting soft flesh. But then you see a couple of the people in the back change, two catch on fire, one seems to turn into a column of water, one grows into this monster of stone and dirt, while two of them turn into different kind of metal monsters. One of the fire guys starts spraying fire in a direct stream against Lyssa, and all it seems to be doing is slowing her down, and hiding her vision. Which is when the water guy hits the ground in a large area in front of her and turns the sand into some kind of a bog, and as she stumbles into it the enemy surrounds her and the big guys keep throwing her back into the bog, while the fire guys pour heat into the water. It looks like they are trying to cook Lyssa. While they are doing this, the rest of her team arrives and they catch the guards mostly unaware, the three people who heard Lyssa coming try to get the people to stop watching Lyssa getting cooked, but they are not successful. You watch in awe as the three girls come in like avenging goddesses. Quilla is shooting these streams of silver light at people and they seem to be burning worse than the fire would have against normal humans. Hera actually picked up one of the humans and uses him as a shield as well as a club and you see her swatting people away from her, and those that get swatted away get cooked by Quilla. Diamond, on the other hand, has less luck, she runs into someone that seems a giant compared to her, and they are just throwing punches back and forth at each other. After each punch, you can see the man staggers a little more while Diamond stays firm. It looks like the girls are going to win, even Lyssa isn't dropping, and they are throwing a LOT of damage her way, but the three people that she gets toe to toe with she can't seem to hurt. Then you watch as Quilla Jerks her head back, and then she crumples to the ground. As she falls her body slowly starts to go out, the silver glow leaving her body. Hera jerks in surprise then she seems to get even stronger until she suddenly stops moving, it looks like she's fighting something that you can't see. Like an invisible giant grabbed her up. She gets raised in the air and her body looks like it's getting squeezed until suddenly she ruptures and her blood erupts out of her body in a dozen places, and then she's thrown broken to the ground. She doesn't move after she hits the ground. As for Lyssa, one of the metal monsters grabs her up and then presses her down into the bog, you can see the water starting to move around her, then slowly the water starts to pull in from the edges until the only wet spot is right where she is. The metal guy finally leaves her alone and watches while she staggers up. You have no idea what they did, you didn't see any kind of attack other than her being held under water. Then suddenly these spikes of water rip through her skin from the inside, with a long tendril of water ripping out of her mouth, then splitting and spiking into her eyes and ears. She eventually collapses to the ground, and it takes forever for her to stop moving. When Diamond say what happened to Lyssa she turns around and sees the rest of her friends and teammates lying broken and bloody on the ground. Then she turns and starts running away. You can see as she stumbles every now and then as what looks like bullets hit her, but she just keeps going, and it looks like she never gets injured. Eventually, she gets back to where they started, and she jumps into the remaining truck, and as soon as she's behind the wheel it starts driving off, then it slowly disappears into nothing. Then the view shifts back to the studio. You can see the look of Sympathy on Lena's face, but there isn't shock on it. So your sure that she's already seen the video. On Diamonds face you can see Sadness, sense of loss, and crushing despair. Lena - Diamond I am so sorry, I know how close you were to your friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Diamond - Thank you Lena, and luckily I didn't lose them all. I still have a few friends out there, and we are continuing the work we weren't able to complete in Afghanistan. Lena - I am glad to hear that, but for now we need to end the show. We can talk later Diamond. Lena - and to all of you out there in the world, keep watching for more updates on the shadow war. <<link "Next">><<gotoevent setup.events.couchEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $FSTV to "S1E1">> By Pervy Sage

<<if $makiVisit>>You've barely settled on a channel when Maki enters the room, Bubbles just a couple of steps behind her. You see Maki's expression harden almost as soon as the show begins. Behind her, Bubbles sighs. <</if>>As the deep voiced narrator begins to speak, a montage of old photographs begin to fade in and out across the screen, behind them is grainy footage of old trees, broken buildings, and rocky waterfront. "There is an island that contains ancient mysteries, shrouded by time and obscurity. Some say that this island has ties to a great evil that would consume the earth if ever unleashed, or that it has mysterious ties to Ancient Egypt, but no matter what the true story of Wanton Cove is, two things are certain, First, that something has the few remaining inhabitants of the island so terrified that they refuse to speak of it's mysteries to anyone outside of their community, and two, this four part series will take us much closer to the answers we seek." <<if $makiVisit>>"Son of a bitch!" You hear Maki curse as Bubbles snorts into her drink. <</if>>Large words in a type print begin to scrawl across the screen, //Unraveling the mystery of Wanton Cove.// When the title fades away, it reveals a room full of old looking books and random artifacts. In the center of the room is a man with a neatly trimmed beard and sharp eyes, "Good evening," The man speaks, revealing himself to be the narrator from before, "I'm Jim Bahn, known for the best selling series, "Atlantis Found" and the documentary about the mating habits of the yeti." Your mind goes instantly to the fake documentaries that this channel is prone to making, and wonder if this is going to be another one. //It's likely considering who the host is. I bet by the end of the series they come up with an excuse to show a video of Cthulhu rising up out of the water or something equally unrealistic.// <<if $makiVisit>>“Oh this cocksucker! One hundred percent douchebag!” You see Maki glaring evilly at the screen as Bubbles. “Comes traipsing onto my island like some sort of wannabe tomb raider….” <</if>>Before the man is an old leatherbound notebook, a notebook that he opens with exaggerated care, "This investigation is years in the making, and with proper funding, we're prepared to risk life and limb to get to the bottom of this mystery," Gesturing at the book opened before him, "I have before me a road map of sorts. A diary written by a detective who visited the island once, who documented the trip, and who was driven mad by the experience," With the same care as he opened the book, he closes it again, "Me and my team will be traveling to Wanton Cove, we'll brave the locals, we'll explore the island, and God willing, we'll survive the horrors of Wanton Cove." "Now, it's time to set off, so follow me, we're going to Wanton Cove," The man picks up the same leatherbound notebook he showed so much reverence earlier with a casual grab, reaches down to snag a backpack from the floor, then walks swiftly off screen. In the seconds that follow the screen fades to black. When the screen fades back in, the sound of an outboard motor and crashing waves dominates the television. You can see a boat, a group of four people aboard and piles of luggage, presumably the equipment they need for the documentary, fastened down to the deck with a heavy net. The camera moves closer to the people on board, //Must be a second boat filming them,// when it gets close enough, Jim shouts to be heard, "We're approaching the island from the cove, we're planning to arrive by way of the old town. A town that has been largely deserted for some unknown reason! We'll be landing there, but we'll be prepared to escape quickly if the locals prove hostile to our presence. <<if $makiVisit>>“That thing was written by my grandfather. ” Maki growls as Bubbles simply sighs, rubbing the smaller woman’s shoulders. “He....was unique. Came to the cove and met my grandmother. He had a way of spinning fanciful tales and making words into fantastical things. Didn't think he'd written them down...” //Sounds like a family trait.// you smile inwardly at the thought. <</if>>As the boat approaches the shore, it begins to slow, the motor fading until it can barely be heard against the waves crashing against the shore. When they reach the dock, one of the people on the boat hops up onto the wooden planks, a second member of their group throwing them a rope that is quickly tied off. Over the next couple of minutes, the grow unloads their gear, double checks that the boat is tied off properly, and begins to walk toward the town. <<if $makiVisit>>“Of course you decide to go by boat rather than just renting a plane and using the god damn air strip on the nice half!” The olive woman groans, leaning back against her caramel companion. “Why is the town still there?” You ask curiously. “Because it’d be pretty damn expensive to level the place and ship the rubble off site, darling, without any intention of putting something else in. It’d cost me everything without any investors, and few see any value in a tiny island town.” Maki shrugs. <</if>>All up and down the street are crumbling buildings, few of them showing any sign of inhabitance. "Ewww!" One of the crewmen says. The camera pans toward him, then at the ground at his feet, "Dude, is that a jellyfish, or did someone blow their load on the dock?" "Put a sock in it Leroy, we're here to do a show, not make jokes," Then Jim gestures broadly at the town, "Our first matter if business is to make contact with the locals, if we're lucky someone will be willing to talk with us," Holding up the leatherbound notebook, "And according to this, there should be a tavern that dubs as a bar at the end of this street named 'The barmaid's daughter.'" The camera zooms to the end of the street where a large building can be seen. Part of the upper story has clearly caved in, and the sign hanging above the door has only a hint of old paint still flaking from it. "I think it's safe to say we won't be staying there," Jim grumbles as much to himself as the camera. <<if $makiVisit>> "No shit, Sherlock. Half those buildings are wrecks. You'd be better off camping in the middle of town than trusting those things." Maki grimaces. "We slept there." You see Bubbles point to one of the buildings in the background of the shot. You look at Maki curiously as she groans, rubbing her face. "We got caught in a storm and slept in one of the more....safe....buildings." She explains. <</if>>Jim turns to the rest of the group, "Amanda, take Leroy and get the wide angle. Dean, stick with me for the closeups." Then Jim turns to the closer camera man and his face becomes serious, "We're going to start our investigation by knocking on a few doors and see if we can get any of the locals to talk to us." <<if $makiVisit>> You hear a wry laugh come from Maki as Jim's words leave his mouth. "Good luck, asshole! Everybody lives on the Estate! Brie's the farthest from the mansion, and she'd have punted your head across the lake!" <</if>>What comes next is a montage of Jim knocking on doors, only answered once, though the show manages to show the exchange from three different angles, //I thought there were only two camera people?// What's far more common is that there's a rustling of curtains, or a face that's glimpsed for only a split second through a window. The one door that's answered is by a burly woman who glares at Jim, "And who the fuck are you?" She blurts. "I'm Jim Bahn, you might know me from the various shows I've done for the,-" Before he can finish, she cuts him off, "I don't have a television," Then slams the door in his face. Immediately after, a pair of shingles falls from the roof. <<if $makiVisit>> Now you see Maki's face light up in rage, disengaging from Bubbles to lean forward at the screen. "Who the //fuck// is that?" She turns back to Bubbles, who shrugs. "I don't know." She states simply. "Me either, and I know //everyone// on the island! This bitch is a fake!" Maki growls. <</if>>Jim barely has time to give the camera a bewildered look before the door opens again, "You should go talk to Maki, she doesn't like strangers on her island. She lives up on the hill," Then slams the door again. There's a clattering sound from the roof like another shingle has come free, but nothing more falls to the ground. Looking into the camera, "It's clear that we're not welcome here, the locals have shut us out both figuratively and literally, but we've been able to glean one possible lead, //the house on the hill,//" Jim's voice takes on an ominous tone, "We're going to find an abandoned building that looks safe to set up in, search the immediate area, then first thing tomorrow we'll to meet this Maki. Is Maki a person? Or is it the title of some local cult leader?" <<if $makiVisit>> Maki throws up her arms in consternation. "Locals?! If that woman lives on the island, then I'll take a vow of god damn celibacy! It's probably one of the god damn camera crew!" Bubbles leans forward, putting her hands softly on Maki's shoulders. "It's just a show." She murmurs. "I know, I know!" Maki grumbles, leaning into her companions embrace. "Cult leader.....Really?" <</if>>The camera suddenly pulls back, as if it's attached to an airplane taking off. Even as the camera zooms away, Jim's voice never fades, "Join us next time as our investigation truly begins." Jim's face is lost in the distance as the small town comes fully into view and the town is lost in turn as the camera pulls back far enough that all you can see is the island with it's trees, one small bright speck on the bluff overlooking there the town is. In the seconds that follow, the credits for the show begin to scroll across the screen as if on fast forward. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 60 }>> <<set $WCDoc to "S1E2">>

As the deep voiced narrator begins to speak, a montage of old photographs begin to fade in and out across the screen, behind them is grainy footage of old trees, broken buildings, and rocky waterfront. "There is an island that contains ancient mysteries, shrouded by time and obscurity. Some say that this island has ties to a great evil that would consume the earth if ever unleashed, or that it has mysterious ties to Ancient Egypt, but no matter what the true story of Wanton Cove is, two things are certain, First, that something has the few remaining inhabitants of the island so terrified that they refuse to speak of it's mysteries to anyone outside of their community, and two, this four part series will take us much closer to the answers we seek." <<if $makiVisit>>“Terrified?! You haven’t even talked to anyone who lives there yet.” Maki grumbles, pinching the bridge of her nose. <</if>>As the title fades away, it shows Jim and his crew coming out of a crumbling building, "While our search has so far proven fruitless," Jim says in the same voice that had narrated before, "We knew right from the start that this little town would not be where we unravel the mysteries of this strange place." <<if $makiVisit>>“God damn it, he’s mispronouncing it. It’s Mor-Ee-Chee, not Mor-Ah-Chee! Nobody pronounces it like that!” You smirk at Maki’s consternation. “Helena does.” Bubbles rubs her companions shoulders gently. “She does it to piss me off.” Maki snorts. <</if>>The camera turns suddenly, zooming in on the mansion up on the bluff overlooking the town. The camera zooms just a little too close, then pulls back to put the mansion in focus, "I believe that the mansion, the //Morichi// mansion," He brandishes an old leatherbound notebook as if that somehow explains everything, "Will give us our first real clues toward the answers we seek." Over the next couple of minutes, the camera shows the group of four making their way up the hill toward their destination. Upon arriving, Jim looks directly at the camera and speaks in a conspiratorial tone, "We don't know for sure what we will find here. The family who founded this town has lived here as long as anyone can remember. They've always been secretive, have stuck to themselves. Rumor has it that the family is inbred, //incest// runs rampant, //bestiality// is commonplace, and even the family's patrons look upon them with horror. There's no telling what we might see if we're allowed entry." <<if $makiVisit>>You sneak a glance to Maki and grimace. You’ve never seen her truly angry, but the expression on her face screams of absolute murderous intent. //I think there’s a vein in her forehead throbbing….// You see Bubbles wrap her arms around the smaller woman comfortingly, but aren’t sure that it has calmed down the fiery woman any. <</if>>He looks toward the members of his crew, "You guys wander around a bit, see if you can see anything through the windows or anything else of interest in the area. I'm going to take the handheld camera and go say hello," He casts a worried look at the camera. A second later, the camera angle changes to the front door of the mansion as someone, presumably Jim approaches the door. Jim reaches out, knocking firmly on the door several times before stopping. The camera flips around suddenly to face Jim, "Will these people answer the door? Or will they hide in the shadows where they lurk? Something tells me that what I will see inside will haunt me for the remainder of my life, assuming I am lucky enough to even emerge again." <<if $makiVisit>>“God damn lucky I didn’t hear you say that crap.” Maki seethes. You see her companion nuzzle her neck gently, and Maki’s shoulders seem to loosen a little. “Calm down.” You hear Bubbles baritone drop, trying to adopt a soothing tone. You are relieved when you see Maki kiss Bubbles arm, visibly exhaling. <</if>>At the sound of a ominous creak, the camera flips around toward the door where it focuses on a man standing there. The man is dressed simply and is slight of build, his skin is fair with just a light dusting of freckles on his cheeks. Short hair covers his head, brown with just a hint of amber in it. The man's sharp but worried eyes pivot between Jim and the camera several times before focusing on Jim, "Can I help you?" Every word out of the man's mouth is drawn out, like he's unsure of what is going on. "I'm Jim Bahn, you've probably seen my best selling series, "Atlantis Found" and the documentary about the mating habits of the yeti," Jim's voice is smug but friendly, "I was hoping that I could have a moment of your time? Are you the master of this house?" The man's eyes flicker to the camera for a split second, "Maki is my master, I'm just Tom." <<if $makiVisit>>“Oh it’s Tom!” You finally see a smile crack through Maki’s anger. “Good fellow! Excellent worker, but don’t let him near alcohol.” The small olive woman clucked her tongue. “He starts speaking in tongues, I swear.” “He went with Aquamarie.” Bubbles murmurs, resting her chin on Maki’s head. <</if>>"Well, just Tom," Jim's tone suggests he's trying to be funny, "May I meet Maki?" "I, uh," Tom looks rattled for a second, "I'll go check," With that, Tom rushes off into the mansion. The camera flips around again, "Clearly that young man is //not// quite right, only confirming our earlier suspicions," The camera flips around as Jim steps just inside the door. The camera pans around, pausing as two naked men can be seen walking side by side down the hall toward him. Both give him a strange look then vanish through a door along the hallway. <<if $makiVisit>>“Jasper and Daniel! Quiet talented. They’re fantastic lovers, but they don’t play for my team.” Maki grins slyly over at you. “Still, Sirico enjoys them quite a bit.” “Who?” “Client of mine. Don’t worry about it, darling.” Maki waves her hand dismissively. <</if>>"I do not want to be part of this," A deep feminine baritone bellows from somewhere deeper in the mansion, "Bubbles Darling, it's my birthday! Indulge me this once?" A much higher voice replies. "What have I gotten myself into this time?" Jim asks himself under his breath. <<if $makiVisit>>“Oh no.” You hear Maki groan. You turn your head and see her holding her face in her hands, while Bubbles cheeks are quickly becoming a deep crimson. “I’d forgotten about this….” Maki mutters. <</if>>Then the voices fall silent, or at least are far too soft for Jim to hear from where he's inching his way down the hallway. A petite woman with black hair that falls just past her shoulders steps into the hallway, then pivots toward Jim. He freezes in his tracks. The woman is beautiful, but her eyes are hard as granite. In barely a second she looks him over with a dismissive glare. Glancing back toward the door she just exited, she calls out in the higher pitched voice from before, "Tom, be a sweetheart and go with Bubbles. Save me a spot," She winks, "If you're a good boy, I'll let you lick me clean later," Her expression hardens, "This nonsense won't take but a few minutes." <<if $makiVisit>>“So-” You begin, but are quickly cut off. “Birthday orgy. I wanted to see Bubbles covered in naked bodies.” Maki shrugs. “Maki….” Bubbles tone is higher than normal, a near whine. “You are a sexy beast, love, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of it.” Maki murmurs, kissing her companions massive arm. “It’s not that. He doesn’t need to know...everything.” Bubbles mutters. “Darling, you know he’s dreamed about all his girls naked on a bed with him in the middle. God knows I have.” You see Bubbles roll her eye at Maki’s admission. “You know I’m right here.” You cough politely. “I mean, in my dream you’re on the bed too.” Maki winks coyly at you. <</if>>The woman's sheer white dress swishes around her ankles as she strides toward Jim. While you can't quite make out all the details, it's clear that she's wearing nothing under the dress, "And who the fuck are you?" She demands as she draws to a stop directly in front of him. Even looking up at him the way she does, she somehow gives the sense that she's looking down at him. "I'm Jim Bahn," He begins, much of his earlier bravado leaving him. Before he can continue, she cuts him off. There's a hint of amusement in her eyes as she speaks again, "You're that guy from that documentary channel," It's clear that she's stating it as fact, "But that still doesn't tell me why you're bothering me, //on my birthday, in my home.//" "Pleased to hear you enjoy my work," Much of Jim's bravado returning, "I'm doing a documentary on Wanton Cove, and I was hoping I could interview you, ask a few questions, that kind of thing?" It's clear that he's pouring all of his charm into making a good impression, "Of course, you'll be credited in the show credits, and I'll conduct the interview with the utmost respect for you and this charming island of yours." <<if $makiVisit>>“My ass.” Maki leans back further into Bubbles embrace, glaring evilly at the screen. “Big ass.” Bubbles murmurs. You nearly chuckle when you see Maki’s cheeks tinge red and look up at Bubbles with a pout. <</if>>"Enjoy your work?" Maki laughs, "Your 'work' is rubbish, but I suppose I can spare a few minutes," She smirks, "Just be sure to get my good side." As she turns, she gestures for him to follow. The camera tilts, zooming in on her ass as she walks, "I'll do my best," Jim replies absently. At the end of the hall, they enter a large room. What Jim sees clearly surprises him, "Holy shit!" He blurts before the camera can turn toward the source of his surprise. Half striding, half skipping, is a nearly naked woman with an unnatural light blue hair that hangs down to her ass. Her eyes are only a shade darker and there's a huge grin on her face. What's most startling though is the fact that she is wearing black strapon dildo that's probably two feet long and thicker than Jim's wrist, "Miss Maki! I brought the black one like you asked!" Her eyes sparkle with delight. <<if $makiVisit>>“Aquamarie. Sweet girl….but so clueless. Just useful enough to be worth something, but….” Maki sighs. “I ended up selling her and Tom to this woman. Tina, if I recall..She’s a bit of a masochist, so I’m sure it worked out wonderfully.” “She was…..loud.” Bubbles nods, kissing the top of Maki’s head. <</if>>"Wonderful Darling, run ahead and I'll join everyone shortly. If I'm not there in fifteen minutes, start without me," Maki replies before watching the girl bound off happily, "She's not the brightest girl I've ever had here, but her heart's in the right place." She continues walking as if nothing just happened. Jim, steals a moment to turn the camera on the retreating girl, getting a great shot of her ass before turning back toward Maki. Stepping into a smallish room with glass windows overlooking the ocean, she gestures at a chair, "Take a seat, you've got ten minutes of my time, make the most of it." Jim takes a deep breath, "I'll try to be quick about it then," Then without a pause, he begins to ask questions, "What can you tell me about the island, your family, -you are descended from Azumi Morichi correct?- and the events that transpired here back in the 30's." Maki looks thoughtful, if a little annoyed at his questions, "I'll answer those in reverse order, none of your fucking business, none of your fucking business, and this island, and everything on it belongs to me. Technically, just stepping onto this island makes you a trespasser, but I'm feeling kind. So instead of having you thrown off the bluff, I'll answer your last question," Her eyes turn to him with a hard intensity, "Then you'll get the fuck off my island." <<if $makiVisit>>“In all fairness, I’d been doing a little drinking right before this. He caught me in a great mood, the bastard. In hindsight I should have just tossed him off the bluff.” Maki grumbles, idly rubbing Bubbles larger hands. “I like that bluff. Don’t taint it with murder.” You find Bubbles childish tone amusing. You find the mischievous smirk on Maki’s face more concerning. <</if>>The corner of her mouth pulls up into a small smile, then she begins to speak again, "The town was established by some ancestor of mine, it did alright as a fishing town for a long time, but as fishing was commercialized the town died, simple as that. The island has some old ruins on the other side, but they've never been properly explored and no one has any theories about where they came from. They were here before the town though." Then, seemingly as an afterthought Maki adds, "There's nothing special about this island, no matter what kinds of stories people tell." "That's not true, this island is very special, we just have to unravel it's mysteries," Jim retorts, "Maybe you know someone who's familiar with the island who could act as a guide?" Maki crosses her arms over her chest, "Nope," After a short pause, she adds, "And if that's all, you interrupted something important earlier, you can find your own way out." <<if $makiVisit>>“I should have escorted him out….I was just so damn horny.” Maki fumes. “Bubbles and six others naked in a room…..still makes me hot thinking about it.” “Later.” Bubbles shakes her head. <</if>>"You have to tell me more, this isn't much to go on," Jim blurts. "I have to do //nothing//," Maki's voice turns ominous, "You entitled little shit. Get out of my home, or better yet, get off of my island before I make you disappear." Without a word, the camera pans around toward the exit, and from the pace it's obvious that Jim is in a hurry to leave. Just a few steps short he hears a scream that sounds like it could have come from the man Tom from earlier. Jim's pace only seems to speed up further and the camera cuts out right as the front door is opening. <<if $makiVisit>>“Tom was….excitable.” Bubbles sighs. “Well, to be fair, it was mean of Aquamarie to surprise him." Maki smirked “Strange woman.” The giantess shakes her head in amusement. <</if>>When the camera, a different angle now, turns back on, Jim and his group is charging down the hill, breathless as they run. Dean, the camera man's voice can be heard, "You won't believe the footage we just got!" "That was some seriously messed up shit," Leroy blurts, his voice just a little too high pitched. The camera pivots toward Amanda as if expecting her to add something, but she just looks scared. Once back at the building they commandeered as their base of operations, Jim asks to see the footage, at which point the a slightly out of focus image fills the screen, a dark room with a naked woman, two men who are just as naked are smearing something all over her body. It's hard to tell if it's the filter being used with the camera, or if the substance is actually that color, but it almost looks like blood being smeared across her body. <<if $makiVisit>>“They put a god damn filter on that!! It was just baby oil and lube, and not red! Glistening bodies are hot, not blood covered ones!!” Maki states hotly. “Yes, dear.” Again, you nearly smile as Bubbles seems to humor her companion. <</if>>"Some kind of satanic ritual?" Jim's voice can be heard saying, "Is this the important thing we interrupted?" The camera pans to him where he gives it a serious look, "Could this prove to be the key to unraveling this mystery?" "Jim, you haven't even seen the other video yet," Dean says, "Check it out." A new image fills the screen, this time it is clear that it's being filmed through a window. In the room is perhaps two dozen naked people, many of whom are covered in various colors of body paint, "What the hell is that?" Jim mutters as the entire pile of writhing bodies shifts, for just a split second something impossibly large can be seen through the tangled limbs, "Is that even human?" For once, his voice is clearly shocked. <<if $makiVisit>>You see Bubbles shrink a little from the corner of your eye, her shoulders hunching as her gaze tears itself downward. You can see her arms tighten around Maki as she whispers something under her breath, a pained expression crossing both womens faces. “Asshole.” Maki mutters, staring directly at Jim Bahn’s face. <</if>>At the edge of the screen, you can see Tom enter the room, his expression a bit self conscious. He looks at the pile of bodies , then pivots toward the door as the blue haired girl with the massive dildo enters. When he sees her, he somehow manages to smile and blush at the same time. "Tom!" She cries out happily, the sound of her voice just barely audible above "I'm looking forward to this," She grabs the big dildo and gives it a couple of playful strokes. For the first time, Tom seems to notice the unnatural appendage. His earlier infatuation vanishes behind a veil of uncertainty. "I heard from someone that you're still a virgin?" The aqua haired girl asks, a wicked grin forming on her lips. Tom screams, the same scream Jim had heard when exiting the mansion, then turns to run. But the blue haired girl is faster, she pounces like a lynx, both of them vanishing into the orgy. <<if $makiVisit>>“She definitely had a crush on Tom….or he did on her. Never quite figured out if it was mutual...I did catch him saying something about her being ‘the best girl.’ Definitely a questionable opinion.” Maki mutters. “She spilled hot tea on me.” Bubbles shrugs, her gaze still pointed downward. <</if>>The camera remains on the scene for nearly another minute, then Maki enters, completely naked. A little smile tugs at her lips as she looks at the unfolding orgy. Her eyes drifts over the carnal display before her, then settles directly on the camera. Her expression instantly shifts to angry. "Fuck!" Leroy blurts, the camera pulling away from the window before starting to bounce wildly as it's holder begins to run. <<if $makiVisit>>“Cocksuckers! Nearly ruined my entire night! Took me a half hour to calm down.” Maki growls. <</if>>The image on the screen returns to Jim's face and he's just about to say something when Amanda bursts through the door, the whole building creaking ominously from the force of the door being slammed open, "I think we need to go," She says. "Why?" Jim asks, annoyance dominating his voice. "Because there's half a dozen people coming down the hill toward us, every one of them looking pissed. The shortwave also picked up a broadcast to the mainland asking for law enforcement to come pick up some trespassers." <<if $makiVisit>>“Bullshit. Bubbles and I were balls deep in Aquamarie at that point…” You see a blush in Bubbles cheeks. “Maki…..” That same whine tinges her baritone. “Besides! Why would I call law enforcement? Easier to just fucking murder them and dump the bodies.” Maki waves a hand dismissively. “Would y--Of course. Why am I questioning this?” You correct yourself halfway through your question. <</if>>The camera turns back to Jim, a deranged sort of excitement in his eyes, "Alright everyone, pack up, we need to go, quick," Then to make a lie of his urgency, he continues to talk, making no effort to help his crew pack, "What terrible influence does this Maki woman have on law enforcement? Are they her pawns? Or something far more ominous? And what did we witness? If the words in this book," He holds up the old leatherbound notebook, "Have any truth to them, then it is possible, no, //likely// that we just witnessed part of a ritual to throw open the gates of hell and unleash a tide of evil that could very well destroy our world. The camera suddenly pulls back, as if it's attached to an airplane taking off. Even as the camera zooms away, Jim's voice never fades, "Join us next time as we continue to seek answers, . . . . as the mystery of Wanton Cove finally begins to unravel." <<if $makiVisit>>“Or lots of sex, which for that cocksucker is probably still just as rare as finding a fucking gate to hell! Fucking asshole.” Maki snaps. <</if>>Jim's face is lost in the distance as the small town comes fully into view and the town is lost in turn as the camera pulls back far enough that all you can see is the island with it's trees, one small bright speck on the bluff overlooking there the town is. In the seconds that follow, the credits for the show begin to scroll across the screen as if on fast forward. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 60 }>> <<set $WCDoc to "S1E3">>

None of them are on the island! I know every structure, and none of these are there.

As the title fades away, it shows Jim and his crew running toward their little boat, panic in their faces, somewhere behind them a gunshot rings out. All four of the people duck suddenly in alarm, the camera just happening to be perfectly focused on Leroy's face as he screams, "They're fucking shooting at us! They're trying to kill us!" <<if $makiVisit>>“There is exactly two working guns on that island, and they’re locked up tight. I’d not waste bullets on that asshole.” Maki shakes her head angrily at the screen. “Brie likes archery.” Bubbles muses. “Exactly! Have her put an arrow through his leg...damn asshole…” “In the dark, though?” You offer skeptically. Maki tilts her head for a moment in thought. “....Probably not, but I wouldn’t be shooting at them either! Besides, I think by this point was when we brought out the whipped cream.” You notice a slight flush in Bubbles cheeks, her arms drawing slightly tighter around Maki’s midsection. <</if>>Jim somehow has the presence of mind to flip his camera around, giving a cinematic pose while running, "I don't know if anyone will ever see this video," He says, a lack of fear in his voice, "This ancient cult we have stumbled upon is in hot pursuit, at first we were threatened, then we were run out, and now we're being actively hunted by this cabal of devil worshipers. <<if $makiVisit>>“He sounds so damn fake.” Maki growls. “ I guarantee if someone was really shooting at you? You’d be scared shitless. God knows that’s what happens when I’ve been shot at….” “I don’t like guns.” Bubbles mutters. “I know, darling.” <</if>>When the camera flips back around, the rest of Jim's crew is somehow ahead of him, just untying their boat and pushing off the dock. Jim sprints down the dock, then jumps with all his strength in an attempt to reach the boat. Mid air another gunshot sounds out. "Go, go, go!" Jim shouts, but the boat is already in motion. A minute later the boat is racing across the waves, when the camera turns toward the distant town. You can just make out half a dozen people in red and black robes standing on the docks watching them go. <<if $makiVisit>>“Fake! So damn fake! It gets in the low 40’s at night, lower in the winter! Nobody’s going to wear those fake looking robes at night and not freeze their bits off! Besides that, he just saw an orgy taking place!” Maki throws her arms up in disbelief. “This timeline’s too goddamn screwy! You think I’m going to stop an orgy, throw on a robe, and get close enough to shoot them with any appreciable threat //at night// in the span of a few minutes?!” “I mean, how long does it take to get from your mansion to the town?” You ask curiously. “Like ten minutes if you’re power walking!” “Two minutes thirty-two seconds if running quickly.” Bubbles chimes in. “Exactly. It would take me longer than that to get dressed. God knows I’m not going to freeze my girls off chasing some dickheads.” Maki grumbles. <</if>>"We knew what we were signing up for," Jim says into the camera, "And we've had close calls in the past, even if this might have been one of the closest. It's time to regroup and decide our course of action from here on out." The screen darkens, cutting to a commercial break before coming back. All around the group are trees, the start of a camp being set up in the middle nearly fills the small clearing. Jim's face fills the screen, "We've decided, against our better judgment, that we're setting up on the other side of the island. Hopefully we can research in peace before being discovered by the locals again. According to the journal," He holds up the old leatherbound journal so it fills the screen before lowering it so he can fill the center of the image again, "There are ruins somewhere on this side of the island. We're going to search for them, as well as this mysterious cathedral the journal speaks of." <<if $makiVisit>>“Oh those things….” Maki rubs her forehead in frustration. “He can’t really be serious…” <</if>>The screen shifts, going to the group as they are walking through the forest when suddenly Dean calls out, "Dude, did you see that? Over here." Everyone's attention turns toward where he is pointing and then zooms toward some form of monolith in the forest. The group moves quickly toward the object. Slowly it grows closer, Amanda leading the way with a machete to cut a path for the rest of the group. When they reach the object, it's clearly not a natural formation. "Holy shit, it's real," Jim mutters under his breath, almost too softly to hear. In the seconds that follow, the group looks around and it becomes clear that they're actually standing on a stone path that's almost completely overgrown by the forest, "We're going to win //so// many awards for this." <<if $makiVisit>>“You took me there.” Bubbles tilts her head curiously. “Yes. It’s a part of my family’s very…..whimsical history.” Maki sighs. “Whimsical?” You raise an eyebrow. “Look; my grandfather and great-grandfather were rich and eccentric. Both loved making up these wild stories and pulling peoples legs. That’s where half this ‘Wanton Cove’ mythos comes from. I’m convinced it’s because they were //bored// more than anything else.” Maki shrugs. “Some are vivid.” Bubbles states, resting her chin atop Maki’s head. “Well, my family does enjoy the classic Brothers Grimm.” Maki smirks slightly. <</if>>"Everybody," Jim says louder, "Everyone spread out, mark your paths so you don't get lost. Five minutes out then back. Everyone's back here in ten minutes, got it?" He gets a small chorus of agreements before the other three vanish in different directions into the forest. "Now," Jim says to the camera, "Lets get a better look at this monolith while we wait for them to return," The camera is set up not far away, close enough to show the area fairly clearly as Jim gets to work. He spends a couple of minutes taking photographs of the monolith as well as the stone path, then he pulls some of the moss off of the monolith in an attempt to see it better. Not once does he stop talking about how amazing of a discovery this is. The first of his crew returning happens around the same time that he picks up his camera again, walking closer to the monolith, "Look at this, it's perfectly smooth, unlike anything I've ever seen before," The camera angle shifts to the monolith, it's gleaming white surface has a shimmer to it that reminds you of the inside of a seashell, "There are no markings on the pillar that I can see. It's clearly not natural, though I have to ask the question; //was it man who made this, or something else?// Was it some form of marker? A signpost of sorts? Or did it serve a purpose that I simply can not fathom?" <<if $makiVisit>>“It was a memorial! Not even that really!” Maki sighs, rubbing her face in frustration. “What do you mean?” You ask. “That spot was where ...it was either my great grandfather or grandfather, proposed to their wife.” “You said great-grandfather.” Bubbles states. “Thank you. Being hopelessly rich, he hired someone to put that and the stone path in place in remembrance.” <</if>>As the crew all assembles around the pillar again, the camera angle shifts to Leroy, "About five minutes that way," He points in the direction he went in, "There's some form of structure. I didn't have time to check it out, but it wasn't natural." "Let's go check it out then!" Jim says, clearly excited about the prospect. The screen cuts out then returns with the group arriving on the scene, each of them in town stops, a look of awe on their faces as they look at whatever is in front of them. A moment later the image shifts to one of the most amazing things you've ever seen on the television. Filling the screen is something that clearly once served as a building, possibly a house of some form. Two stories tall and made of the same material as the monolith from before. The whole structure has a gentle curve to it and comes to a point at the top. <<if $makiVisit>>“Okay, that one I don’t know.” Maki sighs. “I think it was something he added on with the memorial, but I’ve no clue why.” “Why’s it made of the same material?” You ask curiously. “Damned if I know. Maybe he over-ordered and had a bunch left over? Getting stuff shipped to the island is expensive.” Maki shrugs. <</if>>"Is that some kind of seashell?" Jim asks no one in particular, the disbelief in his voice is so thick it's like a physical thing. "I don't know boss," Leroy, in spite of having spotted the structure earlier seems every bit as in awe as the rest of them. The camera jostles as Jim makes his way around the building, not stopping until he finds a round portal that might have once served as a door, "In all my years of archeology, I have never seen anything that could have prepared me for this. What lies before me defies any explanation," The camera flips around to capture Jim's face as he holds up the leatherbound notebook, "And every bit of this was chronicled by the detective who wrote this. Many believed that he was a mad man putting his ramblings to paper, but looking at this," The camera returns to the structure, "Makes it very easy to believe that every terrible detail of this journal is true." <<if $makiVisit>>“Terrible detail….You basically have a writer’s notebook, dumb ass.” Maki rubs her eyes, her face exasperated. “How’d he get it?” Bubbles tilts her head curiously down at her companion. “That’s...a very good question.” Maki looks up at Bubbles for a moment before settling back on Jim, narrowed eyes proving quite menacing. <</if>>Moving closer to the structure, Jim calls out before starting to talk to the audience, "Amanda, with me. Dean and Leroy, fan out and see if there's anything else like this around here," Then without missing a beat he continues, "I'm about to enter this mysterious structure. We know nothing about it, how it was built, //if// it was built. Who or what might have lived here, and more importantly, what will we find within?" As he steps through the portal, the screen is shrouded in deep shadows until a light comes on to illuminate the space. The camera pans across the space until it comes to Amanda who is holding her own camera, a light on the top of it glaring brightly before Jim's camera reverses course and pans slowly over the interior, "Keep your eye out for any writings or artifacts, anything that might be able to tell us more about this place," He says softly to Amanda before starting to move further into the structure. The main room is oval shaped, with a dip in the floor toward the middle that's filled with stagnant water. On the far side of the room is another portal like the one they entered the structure through that seems to lead to a smaller room, and to one side of that is a set of rail-less stairs leading upward to what is most likely a second floor. For several minutes, he moves about, sometimes moving piles of rotting leaves or old branches as he searches the area. Occasionally Amanda's light can be seen in the image, usually casting Jim's shadow across the floor or wall. However, through the search, neither of them turns up any loose artifacts or anything that might give a clue to the orgin of the place. <<if $makiVisit>>“Personally I think it was a hideaway; some small place for my great grandfather and grandmother to go fuck, or maybe it was for rendezvous with his mistress.” Maki sighed, rubbing her temple. “Why do that when you have an entire mansion?” You ask curiously. “A mansion that has lots of people in it. Yours is a smaller mansion, darling. Mine is….quite a bit bigger. It would not be manageable without a full staff.” You see Maki smirk as she gestures to her surroundings. “Nice people, though.” Bubbles states. “Quite, but sometimes it’s nice to get away. It’s why I come visit.” Maki chuckles. <</if>>Eventually Jim trails off from his monologue and turns toward Amanda, "We should find the guys, it's getting late. We'll regroup, head back to camp, maybe do some research tonight, then come back in the morning." Jim continues to talk, speculating on who, what and how the building might have built the structure. Leroy and Dean both mention that the structure Jim had searched was only one of several in the area. Once back at their camp, Jim sits his camera down, moving to sit in front of it with an intense look on his face, "We are on the precipice, something huge, something this place likely does not want us to discover. Tomorrow, we will return to that structure, armed with new knowledge and an iron resolve. We WILL unravel the secrets of Wanton Cove." The camera suddenly pulls back, as if it's attached to an airplane taking off. Even as the camera zooms away, Jim's voice never fades, "Join us next time as we attempt to continue our search for answers, . . . . Only to waken an ancient evil intent on our doom." <<if $makiVisit>>“Ham it up some more, you hack.” Maki mutters. <</if>>Jim's face is lost in the distance as the jungle fully into view and the town is lost in turn as the camera pulls back far enough that all you can see is the island with it's trees, one small bright speck on the bluff coming into view as the camera circles far enough to see the mansion on the bluff.. In the seconds that follow, the credits for the show begin to scroll across the screen as if on fast forward. [[End.|$location]]<<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $WCDoc to "S1E4">>

You gesture at the St Andrew's Cross with one hand while looking Anna in the eye. A worried, almost haunted look passes behind her eyes as she glances at the frame mounted against the wall. You can see her swallow visibly before turning her attention back to you. In a split second, you can see the fear in her eyes fade toward something far more trusting. "Just let me undress first," She says before putting actions to her words. You watch as she undresses, each article of clothing coming off and being neatly folded before being placed in a precise pile near the door. Once naked, she turns back to you, a sad sort of smile on her face. You've barely time to contemplate her expression before she steps up to the St Andrew's Cross and puts her back to it. Without shame, she puts her body on display for you, moving her arms and legs so you can strap her in place easily. //She trusts me.// You think to yourself, //I can see that there's just a hint of worry, but she doesn't hesitate at all.// When you step forward, you reach for one arm, strapping it in place without trouble. You can feel Anna's head turn slightly, her cheek brushing affectionately against your own. You allow the touch to linger for a moment before pulling back enough to look her in the eyes. There's a faint smile on her lips when she meets your eyes. Feeling a matching smile tugging at your own lips, you turn your move to finish strapping her into the St Andrew's Cross before stepping back.

"Please, get in," You say, gesturing at the St Andrew's Cross. Her face creases with concern, her body tensing as she looks at the wall mounted frame. You can see her breath quicken. When she turns her eyes back to you, you can see a haunted expression on her face. Taking a deep breath, she seems to relax slightly. Immediately after, she begins to undress. Taking off one piece of clothing at a time, she folds it and makes a neat stack beside the door until she's completely naked. Looking toward you, she folds her arms in front of herself. The gesture doesn't seem to be intended to preserve her modesty as she isn't covering either her chest or groin. There is a slight tremor in her frame as she steps toward the St Andrew's Cross, unable to meet your gaze as she stands ready to be strapped into the rack. Stepping forward, you take hold of one wrist, raising it up above her head where you fasten the straps. Then you move to the other to repeat the process. Once she is properly strapped into the device, you take a couple of steps back, gazing at her naked body. You allow your gaze to linger as you think about what you'd like to do next. What would you like to do? <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>>

"Get in," You say simply, pointing toward the St Andrew's Cross. Anna's body goes rigid and you see her face become suddenly neutral. //It's amazing how she can shut out all emotion in her facial expression like that. But I can still see the fear in her eyes.// She half turns toward you, opening her mouth as if she wants to say something, but then closes it again. Instead of speaking, she begins to undress. Each article of clothing is neatly folded and placed in a precise pile near the door. If it wasn't for the speed in which she was folding her clothes, you'd think she was stalling. In a surprisingly short period of time, Anna stands before you naked, glancing between you and the wall mounted frame only once before moving to the St Andrew's cross to be strapped in. When you step up to her, her arms feel limp. You have to take hold of each arm, lifting it into place before strapping her wrists in place. She can't even look you in the eye as her body goes completely limp, hanging from her wrists as she awaits whatever you have planned for her. You're just starting to turn when you hear her say something very softly, "Please, not like before." You aren't sure if the words were intended for you, or if she's just talking to herself. Either way, you can see her carefully composed features starting to crumble to be replaced by a wide eye'd terror. Already you can see tears falling from her eyes as her body trembles. Taking a couple of steps back, you look at her as you consider what you want to do to her. What would you like to do? <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>>

"Can you get in?" You ask, pointing at the St Andrew's Cross against the wall. Anna's expression changes, turning unhappy with just a hint of fear in her eyes, "I,-" She starts to say something but stops herself, "Yes sir," She finally says, her tone soft and submissive. As you watch her, she undresses herself, folding each piece of clothing before removing the next. Once all of her clothes are stacked beside the door, she walks to the wall and steps up to the St Andrew's Cross. For just a second, she meets your eyes, the sadness in them runs deep in a way that speaks of countless hours of torture she has suffered in this piece of equipment. Stepping up to her, she raises her hands into place just before you reach for her wrists, saving you the trouble of placing her wrists near the straps. You have no trouble strapping her in place. When you step back from the rack, Anna seems to slump, resigned to her fate. What would you like to do? <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>>

"I'd like you to get in," You say, your arm extending to indicate the St Andrew's Cross. You can see Anna's expression change from cautious to worried in an instant. "Y-yes sir," She says, her voice trembling. Instead of stepping toward the wall mounted frame, she instead begins to undress. You can see her hands trembling slightly as she takes her clothes off and folds them before sitting them in a pile beside the room's door. //I wonder if that's something my Great Uncle used to do? Make her fold her clothes and place them near the door like that?// Once naked, she looks at you again, her eyes begging for you not to do this, but offering no resistance. She steps to the rack and timidly raises her arms into position. It only takes a couple of steps to close the distance between you, where you quickly strap her into the St Andrew's Cross before moving back to appreciate the view before you. Trembling like a leaf in the wind, Anna looks back at you with fear filled eyes.

She feels like a dead weight in your arms, her arms ineffectively trying to hold on to you with what little strength she has. Carefully, you pick her up. She makes a whimpering sound at the movement and you can see tears of pain in her eyes. When you reach her clothes, you sit her down carefully. With trembling hands Anna reaches out for her clothes but fumbles with the fabric, "I'm sorry, I'm worthless to you like this," She begins to sob. "Nothing to be sorry for," You say softly to her, "Let me help," You add, moving to help her dress her.

As you watch, she half crawls, half drags herself toward her clothes. When she reaches her clothes, she fumbles with them, struggling to dress herself. You start to take a step forward to help her, but the sound she makes is like a wounded animal, her eyes widening with fear.

She makes a whimpering sound at the movement and you can see tears of pain in her haunted eyes. When you reach her clothes, you sit her down carefully. With trembling hands Anna reaches out for her clothes but fumbles with the fabric, "You're just like him," She says in an unsteady whisper, barely loud enough to hear. Clearly trembling, she begins to sob. You consider leaning down and trying to help her dress, but before you can she reaches out again, her movements a little more steady this time. //She's going to be sore for a few days.// You think as you watch her dress herself with slow deliberate movements. The one time she glances at you, a shiver goes through her frame that you suspect has little to do with the physical pain she is currently in. <</if>>[[End.|$location]]

You swing your arm, a loud crack is followed by a stifled cry from Anna. Across her thigh you can see an angry red welt already forming.

Anna looks tired, her breathing labored as she refuses to meet your gaze. You can see the fear and pain in her expression as she hangs from the straps fastening her to the St Andrew's Cross.

Anna hangs nearly limp in the straps, her strength having abandoned her. There's an odd mix of affection and pain in her weary eyes.

Turning toward the nearby table that hold an assortment of sex toys and torture devices, you can hear Anna moving in the St Andrew's cross, the leather of her wrist straps creaking as her weight shifts. Reaching out, you let your hand drift over the assortment of tools, eventually selecting a short multi tailed whip. Your fingers curl around the leather handle as you pick it up. You flick your wrist once to test the whip's weight, then turn back toward your victim.

You gesture at the St Andrew's Cross with one hand while looking Eve in the eye. A worried, almost haunted look passes behind her eyes as she glances at the frame mounted against the wall. You can see her swallow visibly before turning her attention back to you. An impish smile forms on her lips, "I suppose you want me naked?" She says before putting actions to her words. You watch as she undresses, each article of clothing coming off and being casually discarded onto the door. Once naked, she turns back to you, doing a little naked dance. You've barely time to contemplate her display before she steps up to the St Andrew's Cross and puts her back to it. Without shame, she puts her body on display for you, moving her arms and legs so you can strap her in place easily. //She seems almost excited about this.// You think to yourself, //I wonder if she views this as part of growing up, or if she's authentically looking forward to this?// When you step forward, you reach for one arm, strapping it in place without trouble. You can feel Eve's head turn slightly, trying to watch what you are doing. There's a little smile on her face as you look her in the eyes. Feeling a matching smile tugging at your own lips, you move to finish strapping her into the St Andrew's Cross before stepping back. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherStart>><</link>> <<link "Whip Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

"Please, get in," You say, gesturing at the St Andrew's Cross. Eve's eyes narrow as she gives you a dirty look, but after only a seconds pause, she steps up to the frame. Standing right in front of the frame, she begins to undress, casually discarding her clothing in every direction before putting her back to the frame and positioning herself so you can strap her in, "Can't we just go sneak some cookies from the cookie jar instead?" You smirk, and in that same instant you can see her expression turn much more serious, the joy that you usually see in her expression turning worried. Stepping forward, you take hold of one wrist, holding it in place while you fasten the straps. Then you move to the other to repeat the process. Once she is properly strapped into the device, you take a couple of steps back, gazing at her naked body. You allow your gaze to linger as you think about what you'd like to do next. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherStart>><</link>> <<link "Whip Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

"Get in," You say simply, pointing toward the St Andrew's Cross. Eve's body goes rigid and you see her expression seems to crumble. //It's amazing how she can be so full of joy one moment, then look so scared the next. I can see the fear in her eyes.// She half turns toward you, opening her mouth as if she wants to say something, but then closes it again. Instead of speaking, she begins to undress. Each article of clothing being dropped on the floor around her feet. In a surprisingly short period of time, Eve stands before you naked, glancing between you and the wall mounted frame only once before moving to the St Andrew's cross to be strapped in. When you step up to her, her arms feel limp. You have to take hold of each arm, lifting it into place before strapping her wrists in place. She tugs at the straps several times, then slumps slightly, as if their being properly fastened saps her of any fight that might have remained in her. She can't even look you in the eye as her body goes completely limp, hanging from her wrists as she awaits whatever you have planned for her. You're just starting to turn when you hear her speak, "Can't you just spank me instead?" She tries to make the comment light, but you can see the growing fear in her eyes. Eve's lip trembles, her eyes welling with tears already. //If she's this upset already, she's really going to scream when I get started//. Taking a couple of steps back, you look at her as you consider what you want to do to her. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherStart>><</link>> <<link "Whip Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

"Can you get in?" You ask, pointing at the St Andrew's Cross against the wall. Eve's eyes narrow, glaring at you as she steps up to the contraption, "You know, I don't like this thing," She says in a low tone. //You'll probably like it less by the time we're done,// You muse darkly. She looks at you for a long moment, then begins to undress, tossing her clothing to the side as each article comes off. Once done, she moves herself into position. Stepping up to her, she raises her hands into place just before you reach for her wrists, saving you the trouble of placing her wrists near the straps. You have no trouble strapping her in place. When you step back from the rack, Eve looks you right in the eye with just a little defiance in her expression. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherStart>><</link>> <<link "Whip Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossWhip>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

"I'd like you to get in," You say, your arm extending to indicate the St Andrew's Cross. You can see Eve's expression darken slightly, clearly unhappy about what is happening. She hesitates, then begins to undress, discarding her clothes in a pile at her side before stepping up to the wall mounted frame. Once naked, she looks at you again, "I don't want to do this", she says, but offers no resistance. She steps to the rack and timidly raises her arms into position. It only takes a couple of steps to close the distance between you, where you quickly strap her into the St Andrew's Cross before moving back to appreciate the view before you. She takes a deep breath, her expression pinched with concern.

Absently, she rubs her wrists as she looks at you, "I'm not saying that I enjoyed that or anything, but if you //really// want to do that again, exactly like this time, then I won't complain too much." Without another word, she moves to her casually discarded clothes and begins to dress herself. <<elseif $eve.health gte 50>>Releasing Eve from the straps, you can see her cheeks glistening with tears.

She feels like a dead weight in your arms, her arms ineffectively trying to hold on to you with what little strength she has. Carefully, you pick her up. A moaning cry escapes her lips as tears fall freely from her eyes. Every movement seems to elicit another pained sound from her. When you reach her clothes, you sit her down carefully. With trembling hands Eve reaches out for her clothes but fumbles with the fabric, "I'm sorry, I don't know what I did wrong, please," She babbles as sobs overwhelm her, "Please don't ever do that to me again." "Nothing to be sorry for," You say softly to her, "Let me help," You add, moving to help her dress her. By the time she's fully dressed again, she is able to get unsteadily to her feet. //She's going to be sore for a few days.// <</if>>[[End.|$location]]

She feels like a dead weight in your arms, her arms ineffectively pushing at you. A sound, somewhere between a scream and a moan escapes her lips. You pick her up. She makes the same sound again, thrashing in your arms and hitting you against the chest and face until you are forced to release her. She falls to the hard floor with a meaty thump. As you watch, she half crawls, half drags herself toward her clothes. When she reaches her clothes, she fumbles with them, struggling to dress herself. You start to take a step forward to help her, but the sound she makes is like a wounded animal, her eyes widening with fear. Part of you wants to slap her, to tell her that you're just trying to help, but you decide against it. Instead, you stand there, watching her unsteadily dress herself as her body shakes with sobs. //She's going to be sore for a few days.// You think as you watch her. <</if>>[[End.|$location]]

She makes a whimpering sound at the movement and you can see tears of pain in her eyes, her sense of betrayal an almost physical thing. When you reach her clothes, you sit her down carefully. With trembling hands Eve reaches out for her clothes but fumbles with the fabric, "I hate you," She says in an unsteady whisper, barely loud enough to hear. Clearly trembling, she begins to sob.

You have been warned. On a side note, how did you kill her during feather play? [[End.|$location]]

Eve's eyes are glued to the feather in your hand, a soft giggle escaping her lips even before it touches her body. The moment the feather makes contact with her skin, she laughs so hard that it nearly sounds like a scream. For a minute you relentlessly tickle her with the feather, over time her giggles become breathless whimpers. When you pull back, relaxes, hanging limply in the straps. In the seconds that follow, her body quakes with momentary giggles as she recovers.

Trailing the feather up the side of her body, Eve shrieks in giggles, her body contorting as she desperately tries to pull away from the feather's touch. When you finally pull back, she slackens in her restraints, chest heaving as she tries to catch her breath again. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherPlay>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>> <<set $eve.affection += 1>>

Eve's excitement is clear as you raise the feather toward her flesh. You can see a slight blush to her cheeks as she watches the feather, and even before it touches her skin you see goosebumps break out across her body. There's a sharp intake of breath from Eve, her body stiffening in anticipation of what is to come. It's in that moment that you strike, her breath catches in her throat and her body jerks as if stuck by lightning. You pull back just long enough for her to gasp for breath, causing her breathless giggles to fill the room that seems to fade away as she struggles to breathe. Pulling back, you see mischief in her eyes. <<talk "eve">>You will never break me!<</talk>>\ Eve says around her grin. When the feather touches her skin once more, her shrieks and giggles are even louder than before.

Eve's smile vanishes as the feather touches her skin near her hip and trails up her side. In it's place is laughter that seems to reverberate off of the walls as she tries to avoid the feather.

Eve looks tired, her chest rising and falling steadily as you raise the feather. She tries to squirm away, but the moment it touches her flesh she cries out in laughter. Almost as soon as you start, you stop again to give her a chance to catch her breath. Repeating the process over and over, you leave Eve panting heavily, her breath ragged as she tries to keep her laughter under control. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherPlay>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>>

Moving the feather close to Eve, she grins and tries to shy away from it's touch. Quickly, you pull back again until she relaxes, then repeat the process. After the third time, she looks at you as if asking if you're ever going to tickle her with the feather. You choose that moment to strike, laughter filling the air almost as soon as the feather tickles across her abdomen. For a couple of minutes you tickle her relentlessly, waiting until she is breathless before finally giving her any reprieve.

Eve's laughter fills the room as soon as the feather comes into contact with her skin. No matter how hard she squirms, you never give her even a second to recover. When she starts to scream around her laughter, begging you to stop, that she can't breathe, you finally ease your efforts, watching her carefully as she gasps for breath. The smile never leaving her face.

Eve looks tired strapped into the St Andrew's Cross, her head drooping. As you move the feather toward her, you can see her eyes pivot to the item, but she doesn't even try to avoid it's touch until you nearly touch her with it. She laughs at the feather's touch, but it's the tired laughter of someone who's body hurts and is trying to avoid laughting for fear of the additional pain it might bring. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherPlay>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>>

As you move, Eve's eyes watch you warily. While she doesn't look particularly frightened, it's obvious that she'd rather not be here as well. Moving quickly, you play the feather across her belly first, causing her to shriek in laughter and shy away. Then her neck, her thighs even her arms become targets for your tickling attacks. Each new target only seems to build on the last until she's laughing without pause. It's not until you pause that she gasps for air, her chest heaving as she struggles to fill her lungs with oxygen. What would you like to do? <<link "Tickle Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossFeatherPlay>><</link>> <<link "Release Eve.">><<gotoevent setup.events.eveCrossEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>>

There's a winkle in Eve's eye, a faint smile on her lips as she watches your every movement. You have no doubt that she sees your actions as the game that they are. Moving quickly, you watch her flinch away with a giggle. But her restraints prevent her from making a proper escape. Her giggle bursts into full blown laughter as the feather plays across her belly. Then you adjust to run the feather along the inside of her thighs. By the time you aim for her under arms, she knows she's never going to escape. Instead she simply thrashes around wildly while trying to avoid the worst of the tickling. By the time you pause, she's breathless, her naked body covered in a sheen of sweat, occasional laughter spilling from her lips as she recovers from your assault.

Moving to a nearby table with a host of torture devices on it, you look over your options. After only a seconds hesitation, you reach for a long fluffy white feather. As you turn toward Eve, you can see her eyes wide, clearly unsure if she should be afraid while visibly restraining a giggle at the same time.

As your eyes drift over the table with a wide range of torture devices, a small smile tugs at your lips when you see the frilly white feather.

Allowing Eve time to worry, you let your eyes drift slowly over the tools at your disposal. By the time you've made your decision, you can see Eve squirming uneasily in her restraints. Reaching out, you pick up a long, soft looking feather, the moment you lift it into view Eve lets out a relieved giggle.

You swing your arm, a loud crack is followed by a shriek of pain from Eve. Across her thigh you can see an angry red welt already forming.

Eve never breaks eye contact with you as you swing. Right up until impact her expression is more amused than worried. "Ouch! That hurt!"

Eve's face is pinched with pain. Her eyes flicker to what's in your hand before back to your face, "Please, no?" Her voice is uncertain as she utters the words. You can see her chest heaving as she breathes heavily. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp cracking sound as her flesh is struck. She screams in pain and when her eyes meet yours again, there's a deep sadness in them.

There is clear fear in Eve's eyes as she looks at you, tears flowing freely down her face. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp sound as her flesh is struck. She doesn't even have the strength to scream, the sound she makes is more like a whimpering moan that draws out to become nearly imperceptible before she falls silent.

Looking at Eve, you can see that she's fatigued, clearly in a significant degree of pain already. Even so you can see trust and hope behind the haunted expression in her eyes. With a flick of your wrist you lash out and are rewarded by a soft choking sound that turns into a sob that makes her entire body tremble.

Eve looks tired, her breathing labored as she looks at you. You can see the fear and pain in her expression as she hangs from the straps fastening her to the St Andrew's Cross.

There is terror in Eve's eyes as she looks at you, her breathing labored as she trembles. You can see tears flowing freely down her face as she hangs limply from the straps fastening her to the St Andrew's Cross. With the flick of your wrist you hear the sharp crack of leather against naked flesh. Her body tenses, then shudders before going limp once more. She barely even makes a sound.

Eve hangs nearly limp in the straps, her strength having abandoned her. There's an odd look in her weary eyes, as if her innocence is being pealed away one strip of flesh at a time.. When you swing your arm, the sound of leather against naked flesh seems to echo in the small room. Eve flinches and her body goes rigid for a second, but otherwise she seems too badly hurt to elicit much of a response to the continued beating.

Eve hangs nearly limp in the straps, no strength remaining in her. She trembles, tears streaking her cheeks.

Moving to a nearby table with a host of torture devices on it, you look over your options. After only a seconds hesitation, you select a short if traditional looking whip before turning back toward Eve.

Turning toward the nearby table that hold an assortment of sex toys and torture devices, you can hear Eve moving in the St Andrew's cross, the leather of her wrist straps creaking as her weight shifts. Reaching out, you let your hand drift over the assortment of tools, eventually selecting a short multi tailed whip. Your fingers curl around the leather handle as you pick it up. You flick your wrist once to test the whip's weight, then turn back toward your victim.

You can feel Eve's wary eyes on your back as you step up to the table holding an assortment of whips, paddles, and other bondage gear. For several seconds you just stand there, allowing Eve's anticipation to grow as you select a riding crop from the table and turn to face her.

Only one grouping of the St Andrew's Cross content and some early Sawhorse/Wedge content. Expect this content to grow in the future. Many of these options will involve fucking, sex machines, whipping, tickling, and potentially other kinds of torture (Candles, electroshock, extreme toys, etc). There will also be variants of these kinds of content to include blindfolds, ball gags, nipples clamps and similar. Additionally, at higher relationship levels, you'll eventually be able to unlock more playful versions of scenes if you don't actually want to hurt her and just want to be playful about it. It is important to watch who you are torturing. You will HURT them. And if you hurt them bad enough they can die.

While she gets dressed you walk towards her. She panics from the thought of being near you and hurries to get her clothes on.

You let go of Anna to regain your own balance. Underneath you, Anna falls towards the floor and lands on her back. You look down at Anna, who just hit the ground hard. Her landing was everything but graceful. Anna moves her shoulders around in pain from the harsh landing.

You also spot a few splinters here and there. You walk over to the side of the room and get the hose. Aiming at Anna, you fire the hose, spraying water all over the unconscious slave. She wakes up, her eyes are panicking around the room. Her breathing is speed up and her body is tense. "Clean the room. When you’re done, you can leave." You tell her and walk towards the door.

She slowly gets dressed while you watch. She adorns the clothes she wore before the torture and stands there still, waiting for your commands. Before you open your mouth to give her the command, she starts cleaning everything up after your session. You leave her to the cleaning and decide what to do. <<else>>Anna's head bobs, barely able to hold it upright long enough to meet your eyes. //How can someone not have hate in their eyes after something like that?// You wonder.

You walk over to the sawhorse and place your hand onto the wooden surface. While giving the sawhorse a small pad, you look towards Anna. "Of course <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I will be there in a second. " Anna says with a shaky voice as she starts to undress. It doesn’t take long for her to undress. As she walks towards you, you can hear her shallow rapid breaths. When she stands next to the sawhorse, you look at Anna. Her breathing has slowed down noticeably and she almost has a smile on her face. Although you can still clearly see some worry in her eyes, she does not look as scared as before. Her frightened gaze has been replaced with an almost trusting one and her rapid has slowed down to a normal speed. You grab Anna’s sides softly and help her gently onto the sawhorse, before gliding your hands down her soft body to her hips and continuing gliding your hands onto her ass. Before letting go, you give her ass a tiny squeeze. She lets out a moan, you are unsure if she felt good from your touch, or if she was just shocked from the sudden squeeze. With Anna now positioned on the sawhorse you look at her once more. Her face is flustered, and she is smiling although faintly. ou step back, enjoying the look of Anna, who is now sitting nude on top of the sawhorse. <<link "Leave her for a while.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 10>><<set $anna.trust -= 5>><<set $anna.fear += 5>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring the whip.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

You pull out a stool for Anna to step onto the horse with. She looks at you with a hint of fear in her eyes, but she quickly disguises it behind a more neutral expression. To avoid wasting any time, Anna strips her clothing off and folds it, placing it nicely in the corner of the room nearest to the door. //That is clearly something she has learned to do from experience.// You think to yourself, as you look at Anna undressing. She inhales deeply before stepping up to you. "Of course <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." She answers your previous question in a meek voice. With a still unchanged expression, she steps onto the stool and looks over her shoulder, right into your stern eyes. You see a hint of something that isn’t fear in her eyes, you can’t really place the look, but she doesn’t fear you too much. You slap her ass while she is trying to get onto the sawhorse, causing her to stumble a bit. After regaining her footing, she moves onto the horse wiggling from her uncomfortable sitting. After moving around for a bit, she finds the most comfortable way to sit. <<link "Leave her for a while.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 10>><<set $anna.trust -= 5>><<set $anna.fear += 5>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring the whip.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

While looking around the room wondering what tool to use today, you spot the sawhorse standing in the corner. You walk over to the sawhorse and drag towards the middle of the room. You look at Anna who has been frozen in place ever since you grabbed the sawhorse. "What are you waiting for? Undress! " You shout at her, trying to get her out of the near unconscious state. Anna trembles as you shout but does as you command. You look towards the undressing Anna, only to be met with a dead stare. The only bit of emotion you can see in her eyes is a bit of fear. Her body language is robotic almost as if she has shut her brain down, making her move on automatization. After having folded her clothes and put them next to the door, she moves towards you. While walking she makes sure to look down making sure that she avoids making eye contact with you. You grab Anna and lift her, placing her onto the horse. Anna grinds her hips from side to side as she is placed onto the horse, looking for the most comfortable way to sit. After watching her squirm for a while, you walk up to Anna and give her a smack on the ass. While walking over to a shelf of restraints, you consider what tool to use to bind her arms together. You end up deciding on some good old rope. With the rope in hand, you walk back to Anna, making sure to keep the rope behind your back, as if you were trying to surprise a child with a present. You swear that you could see a glint of expression on her face for a moment, when she noticed that you are hiding something behind your back. "I’ll be back in an hour or two… Or maybe even four." You say as you grab her hands and bind her wrists together. While leaving the room you glance at Anna behind you. She notices that you are looking at her and quickly turns her head away in a silent show of defiance. <<link "Leave her for a while.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 10>><<set $anna.trust -= 5>><<set $anna.fear += 5>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring the whip.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

"Can you get onto it? " You ask, placing a hand onto the sawhorse next to you. Anna looks at you clearly somewhat shocked. Her expression changes and the soft smile is replaced with a look of worry with a hint of fear. "Y-Yes sir. " She takes off her clothes, folding them and placing them by the door with an impressive speed. After the short wait, she walks up to you trembling all the while. Looking at her, you sense something other than fear in her. The painful memories of torture, that are resurfacing are causing her pain and she almost has tears in her eyes. Even though she is clearly scared, she doesn’t waste a second getting ready. She knows that it would only lead to more punishment. She steps onto a stool that you prepared and continues onto the horse. "Are you comfortable?" You ask her, already knowing the answer. A short pause follows filled with silence. "Yes sir." She answers, unsure of her answer. Her head drops a little, avoiding your eyes. "Look at me, while I decide what to do with you." <<link "Leave her for a while.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 10>><<set $anna.trust -= 5>><<set $anna.fear += 5>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring the whip.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

Anna looks around the room, her eyes leaping from one torture device to the next. Her breathing turns shaky whenever she looks at the more brutal devices. Her head stops for a while when she sees a sawhorse standing menacingly in the corner of the room. Her body shakes a little before she looks further around the room. You begin walking around the room, placing your hands on all the tools you pass, making sure that Anna sees it. You stop next to the sawhorse and place your hand onto it. "I feel like using this one today." Knowing that she doesn’t have a choice, Anna looks down and nods. "Yes <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>." After hearing her answer, you get Anna to drag the sawhorse to the middle of the room. When the sawhorse is standing menacingly in the middle of the room, you order Anna to undress. Anna walks over to the door and takes off her clothes and folds them, leaving them there next to the door. She stands there for a while, before pulling herself together and moving over to you. While watching Anna’s nude body move across the floor towards you, you ready a stool for Anna to step on. Anna moves elegantly even though she is clearly frightened by her punishment. As she reaches you, she steps onto the stool and readies herself mentally one last time, before lifting her leg and placing herself on the sawhorse. You stand there taking in the view for a while, before deciding what to do. <<link "Leave her for a while.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 10>><<set $anna.trust -= 5>><<set $anna.fear += 5>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring the whip.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

After having walked around the mansion for a while, you return to the dungeon. Anna’s pained face is the first thing you see as you enter the room, however her expression softens when she sees you. You can see it in her eyes, she trusts you. You walk up to her slowly, still considering what to do next. Her face doesn’t show any fear, but her body language does. She flinches a little with every movement you make, but you chalk that up to being a reaction from her days with your uncle. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip.

You sit in the couch in the living room for a while, before you get bored. Looking at the watch you can see that only 20 minutes have passed since you left the dungeon. Getting out of the couch, you decide to take a walk through the mansion. As you reach the basement, you are unable to hold yourself back and you walk directly towards the dungeon. You managed to extend your break with a few hours at least. As you open the door to the dungeon, you notice Anna’s pained expression. She is squeezing her thighs together, trying to lift herself off the horse and ease the pain. While you’re still standing in the doorway, she notices you. Her face visibly changes the moment she sees you and her body shakes shortly. You walk up to the defenseless girl and… <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip.

You walk around the house restless. Unable to find a place to calm down, you walk out into the yard. To spend some time, you walk through the forest and arrive at the lake. Everything there is calm, and you feel yourself slowly calming as well. After staying at the lake for 2 or 3 hours, you walk back towards the mansion. As you reach the basement, you prepare yourself and walk up to the dungeon. You throw open the door to the dungeon, scaring Anna in doing so. Her body jumps and you see her face grimace in pain as she lands again. She shoots you an angry glare, but it is gone as quick as it came. After getting settled on the horse again, she steadies her breathing and calms down. For the first time since you entered the room, Anna looks you in the eyes, the contact is short, but you could see a vast amount of fear in them. You slowly walk towards the incapacitated girl. She shakes more and more as you get closer to her. As you reach her you stroke a hand up her thigh, wondering what to do with her. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip.

You decide to leave Anna for some more time. You walk around in the garden, not really finding anything that can keep you entertained. You lie down in the grass and feel yourself falling asleep. You feel somewhat refreshed as you wake up from your nap. You look up to the sky and notice that it has changed noticeably in the time you have been sleeping. The first thing you do after waking up from your nap is walk back to the dungeon. As you open the door, a strong smell of ammonia assaults your nostrils. Ignoring the smell, you move towards the girl on the horse. She is completely dazed, and she only just notices you, when you swing your hand in front of her eyes. Leaving her longer could cause serious injuries. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse3>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip.

After leaving Anna in the dungeon, you find yourself walking around in the garden. The relaxing atmosphere makes you tired and you feel yourself slipping away more than a few times. You decide that a nap wouldn’t hurt anyone. //Or well… Not me.// you think to yourself, as you fall asleep in the silent garden. The first thing you notice when you wake is that it is much later. You’ve overslept by at least 2 hours. //Anna must have been down there for… 4 hours now!// You think as you move quickly towards the mansion. As you reach the basement, you notice the stench of ammonia everywhere. You already know what has happened before you enter the room, and what you see only confirms what you already thought. The horse Anna is sitting on stands in a puddle of urine and Anna is completely unresponsive. //She must have passed out after wetting herself. // You think as you look at the wet trails flowing down the wooden horse. The only good idea you could come up with was clapping loudly. As the loud sound reverbs through the room, Anna sits up, nearly jumping off the horse. "What should I do with you. " You ask the still somewhat unresponsive girl. //Leaving her on it any longer might hurt her badly.// <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse3>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip. ">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip2>><</link>> Submitted by Mathias.

You give Anna a clap to the ass as you leave the room. Just after leaving the room you stretch your arms and prepare for a short nap. While walking around you think about good places to take a nap. You decide to sleep wherever your feet will end up leading you. After walking for a while, you end up in the garden. When you thought about napping, you originally thought something like the living room or your own room, but you ended up in the garden. You lay down in the grass and feel your grasp on the world slowly fade as you entered a deep sleep. Hours later, something rattling in the bush wakes you. //She must have been sitting there for a long time now.// You think as you walk towards the kitchen. //I can’t do anything on an empty stomach.// You think as you take an apple from the kitchen. You walk slowly towards the basement, still eating your apple. It takes some time, but you eventually reach the basement. You walk towards the door and notice a strong smell in the air. As you open the door into the dungeon, you notice what it is. In the room, underneath the horse, you spot a puddle. You track the fluid with your eyes, all the way from the legs of the horse and up to where Anna is sitting. As your eyes reach Anna you notice another fluid that is mixed up with the urine which is still dripping from the horse. The red color really stands out. Something has ripped her, and blood has started flowing slowly, mixing itself with the urine, changing its color. //There’s already major damage. If I leave her any longer it will get worse.// <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse3>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Release Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseEnd2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 25 }>><<set $anna.fear += 1>> <<link "Bring out the whip.

After taking a short break in the living room, you return to the dungeon. As you walk down the stairs, you notice the stench hanging in the air. Pulling yourself together, you move further down the stairs and towards the pungent smell originating from the dungeon. The door is standing open just a little, allowing the smell to permeate though the basement. After giving the door a little push, the stench overtakes all your senses and you feel vomit flowing slowly up your throat. You sink it down again and move on, the stench in here is much worse than it was in the other room. After getting used to the smell a little, you notice what is happening in the middle of the room. Anna is slumped over the horse, and nearly all bodily fluids imaginable are running down the legs of the sawhorse, forming a disgusting puddle underneath it. As you near the sawhorse you notice the degree of damage that Anna has suffered. Blood is streaming alongside excrement from around her genitals and dripping onto the ground. "Anna?" You ask loudly, as you are standing right beside her, trying to wake her. "Anna!" You shout. Still no response. [[Treat whatever wounds she has. |HorseInfectionAlive]] [[Leave her be. |HorseInfectionDeath]] Submitted by Mathias.

The first thing you notice as you reach the dungeon after your break is the foul stench that has spread all throughout the room. You nearly puke from the terrible stench, but you manage to keep it inside you. After forcing yourself to endure the smell, you move towards the horse. You knew something was up from the smell alone, but you didn’t expect it to be so bad. Anna has fallen over the horse, making her lay in, what must be a very painful position. Her whole body is tense, and she looks terrible. Blood is running down her thighs and down her legs. The blood drips further into a half liquid, half solid puddle underneath the sawhorse. With almost mechanical movement, you force yourself forward, towards the horse, which is still standing menacingly in the middle of the room. There is a lot more blood than you first thought, and her condition is clearly terrible. You know that if you leave her like this, she will die. [[Treat whatever wounds she has. |HorseInfectionAlive]] [[Leave it be. |HorseInfectionDeath]] Submitted by Mathias.

You go get yourself a drink from the kitchen, while thinking about what the next thing, you are going to do to Anna is. After spending a lot of time fantasizing about all ways to make her suffer, you return to the room, only to be greeted by a horrifying sight. Anna’s body is slumped to the side and blood is streaming down her leg. The smell hanging in the room is so bad, that you have to take a step back. Forcing yourself into the room, you discover just how bad of a state Anna is in. Even with your untrained eyes you can see that without treatment, Anna will die. You pull her off the horse and onto the floor. While visually assessing the damage, you move onto touching her. After feeling for injuries for a while, it is clear to you that no bones are broken. Your lacking medical knowledge bars you from further analyzation of the injuries, that she might have recieved. [[Treat whatever wounds she has. |HorseInfectionAlive]] [[Leave it be. |HorseInfectionDeath]] <<set $anna.affection += 5>> <<set $anna.trust += 2>> <<set $anna.fear -= 2>> Submitted by Mathias.

You run off to get something to disinfect her wounds. //That would at least keep her alive for some time.// You think to yourself, as you search the dungeon for the first aid kit, that you know is here. You finally find it, just laying around. After getting the first aid kit, you quickly search it for anything usable. The first thing you grab is the bandages and the alcohol, you also grab a flashlight, although you have no clue why. After getting the things necessary for a very simple treatment, you walk to the still unconscious Anna. Without thinking about what you are doing, you start pouring the alcohol directly onto the wounds. Her eyelids flinch, but that is the only reaction you get. When you’re done dousing the wounds, you move onto binding her with the bandages. You do a sloppy job, but you get it done. The adrenaline stops pumping, and you feel your muscles start to relax. In your newfound state of calmness, you take her pulse. Even though the pulse is low, you are happy just to feel one. Only now do you realize, what a terrible job you have done stabilizing her, but she seems like she will survive.

You walk up to the unconscious Anna and pull her roughly off the sawhorse. In the somewhat shocked state, you are in, you forget about the weight of Anna and accidentally drop her onto the floor. //Well, it can’t get much worse anyways.// You think as you look on the clearly maimed woman lying before your feet. A sigh escapes your lungs, as you turn around getting ready to leave the room. //She’ll clean it whenever she wakes up.// You think, as you leave the dungeon. Just as you leave the dungeon, you see the humming Eve. You decide to sneak around her and return to the entrance. [[End.|$location]] Death hasn’t been implemented yet. Otherwise Anna would be dead without any option to bring her back. You are lucky that the game is still "early" in development, so you don’t have to bear the burden of having killed her. I’ll still punish you for going so far by lowering her relationship values a lot. With love from Mathias. <<set $anna.affection -= 25>> <<set $anna.trust -= 10>> <<set $anna.fear += 10>>

You swing your arm, a loud crack is followed by a stifled cry from Anna.

You marvel at the trust you see in her eyes even as you hold an item designed to bring her pain. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp sound as her flesh is struck. She stifles a whimper but offers no other protest. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Anna's expression is wary as she looks at you. Her eyes flicker to what's in your hand before back to your face. You can see her chest heaving as she breathes heavily.

Looking at Anna, you can see that she's fatigued, clearly in a significant degree of discomfort already. Even so you can see trust and affection in her eyes.

Anna looks tired, her breathing labored as she refuses to meet your gaze. You can see the fear and pain in her expression as she slumps over the sawhorse she is sitting on. With the flick of your wrist you hear the smack of leather against naked flesh. Her body tenses, her breasts jiggling as she instinctively flinches away from the strike. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

There is terror in Anna's eyes as she looks at you, her breathing labored as she trembles.

Anna sits nearly limp on the horse, her strength having abandoned her. There's an odd mix of affection and pain in her weary eyes.

Anna flinches and her body goes rigid for a second, but otherwise she seems too badly hurt to elicit much of a response to the continued beating. <<link "Leave her some more.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaWaitHorse2>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 240 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 15>><<set $anna.trust -= 7>><<set $anna.fear += 7>> <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

You swing your arm, a loud crack is followed by a stifled cry from Anna. Across her thigh you can see an angry red welt already forming. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

With a flick of your wrist you are rewarded with the crisp crack of flesh being struck. Anna makes a sound, like her breath catching in her throat. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

You marvel at the trust you see in her eyes even as you hold an item designed to bring her pain. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp sound as her flesh is struck. She stifles a whimper but offers no other protest. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Anna's expression is wary as she looks at you. Her eyes flicker to what's in your hand before back to your face. You can see her chest heaving as she breathes heavily. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp cracking sound as her flesh is struck. She stifles a whimper but offers no other protest. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

There is clear fear in her eyes as she looks at you. A slight tremor goes through her frame as she looks at what you hold in your hand. When you draw back your arm, you see her tense right before you strike. There's a crisp sound as her flesh is struck. She stifles a whimper but offers no other protest. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Looking at Anna, you can see that she's fatigued, clearly in a significant degree of discomfort already. Even so you can see trust and affection in her eyes. With a flick of your wrist you lash out and are rewarded by a soft cry from her. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Anna looks tired, her breathing labored as she refuses to meet your gaze. You can see the fear and pain in her expression as she slumps over the sawhorse she is sitting on. With the flick of your wrist you hear the smack of leather against naked flesh. Her body tenses, her breasts jiggling as she instinctively flinches away from the strike. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

There is terror in Anna's eyes as she looks at you, her breathing labored as she trembles. You can see the fear and pain in her expression as she sits completely still on the sawhorse, breathing rapidly. With the flick of your wrist you hear the sharp crack of leather against naked flesh. Her body tenses, her breasts jiggling as she instinctively flinches away from the strike. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Anna sits nearly limp on the horse, her strength having abandoned her. There's an odd mix of affection and pain in her weary eyes. When you swing your arm, the sound of leather against naked flesh seems to echo in the small room. Anna flinches and her body goes rigid for a second, but otherwise she seems too badly hurt to elicit much of a response to the continued beating. <<link "Whip Anna.">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaHorseWhip1>><</link>> <<link "Let Anna go.

Anna sits nearly limp on the horse, her strength having abandoned her. There a cold acceptance in her unfocused eyes.

Anna sits nearly limp on the horse, her strength having abandoned her. She trembles, tears streaking her cheeks. Unrestrained horror lurks just behind her eyes.

In the near silence of the night, you lean close to the door to listen. You can hear a soft sound from within but its hard to tell if its just one of the girls moving in her sleep or something more. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Listening through the door, you can hear a soft sound from within. Its more of a whimper than anything else you can describe. Seems that Eve is having fitful sleep. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Through the door you can hear the sound of Anna crying in her sleep. The sounds seem to intensify before culminating in a startled cry. For the next few seconds, you can hear her breathing loudly before settling into a more steady rhythm of sleep once more. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Stepping close to the door, you put your ear against it. For a long time, you hear nothing but the soft sounds of the girls sleeping. However that ends suddenly when there's a loud whimper, followed by a startled cry. A split second later, Eve's voice can be heard through the door. <<talk "eve">>Anna...<</talk>>\ Eve's voice is full of concern for her sister. <<talk "eve">>Its ok Anna. He's dead, he's gone now, our new master is kind to you.<</talk>>\ Part of you wants to open the door, to step inside to comfort the girls, but you refrain. For a couple of minutes, you can hear Anna crying while Eve speaks softly to her. After a while, the room's interior grows quiet again as the two drift back to sleep. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

You aren't sure, but you think you can hear something from within the room. You are uncertain if the girls are talking, or if you're hearing something else. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Laughter comes clearly through the door as you lean near it. You're not sure what the two are talking about, but it's clear from what you can hear that they are enjoying the moment. When the laughter dies down, the pair returns to discussion. Even though their conversation sounds animated, you're unable to make out more than an occasional word of what they are saying. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You can tell that the girls are talking inside of the room, but their voices are hushed as they talk, making it nearly impossible to make out more than a word or two of what they are saying. Without context, or being able to hear much more of what is being said, you realize that you're not going to be able to learn anything from listening at the door. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You can hear movement in the room, the wound of a drawr being pulled out, then a few seconds later it being pushed closed again. <<talk "anna">>Eve, what do you think you're doing?<</talk>>\ Anna's voice comes clearly through the door, a tremor fear in her voice. <<talk "eve">>We're leaving.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice sounds defiant. <<talk "eve">>Now go down to the kitchen and grab some food, and don't talk to him unless you absolutely have to.<</talk>>\ There's steel in the smaller woman's voice. <<talk "anna">>We can't.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is nearly in a panic. <<talk "anna">>If he finds out,-<</talk>>\ Eve cuts her sister off mid sentence. <<talk "eve">>He'll what? He's no better to you than our former master, and he's worse to me.<</talk>>\ Eve is nearly screaming now, raw emotion heavy in her voice. <<talk "eve">>I can't take it anymore, anything has to be better than this!<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Eve!<</talk>>\ Anna's voice firms up... <<talk "anna">>No...<</talk>>\ There's a pause where the room is completely silent. <<talk "anna">>We can't. Where would we even go?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Away!<</talk>>\ You can hear the steel starting to falter in Eve's voice. <<talk "anna">>What if we ended up somewhere worse?<</talk>>\ There is no response from Eve. <<talk "eve">>Or for that matter, how would we even get over the wall to get off of the estate?<</talk>>\ There's a long pause. When Eve starts to talk again, it sounds like she is crying. <<talk "eve">>Then what do we do?<</talk>>\ The pause isn't quite as long this time. <<talk "anna">>We survive. So long as we still have each other, things will be ok.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Do you really believe that?<</talk>>\ Eve asks Anna. If Anna answers, you aren't able to hear it through the door. You linger for a few seconds longer, then decide you'd better leave before one of the girls decides to exit the room. [[Finish eavesdropping.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "eve">>Sit still!<</talk>>\ Eve says urgently. <<talk "anna">>I'm still not sure about this...<</talk>>\ Anna's soft voice replies, barely audible though the door. <<talk "eve">>You like our Master, like, REALLY like our master.<</talk>>\ The way Eve says it makes the words a statement rather than a question. <<talk "eve">>And you want him to see you as more than just a servant or a slave? Right?<</talk>>\ Eve continues. <<talk "anna">>Yeah...<</talk>>\ Anna replies. You wouldn't hear her at all if you didn't have your ear right against the door. There's a long time that you can hear movement, but neither of them says anything, or if they do it's nowhere near loud enough for you to hear. <<talk "anna">>Do.<</talk>>\ Anna begins... <<talk "anna">>Do you think he'll ever grow to love me?<</talk>>\ Eve lets out an exasperated sigh. <<talk "eve">>If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I think he already loves you. Look at how he treats you, the kindness he shows, the way he seems happiest when he makes you happy.<</talk>>\ There's a soft laugh from Eve. <<talk "eve">>He's a good man, and we both love him. And more importantly, he loves us back.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>When did you become so smart?<</talk>>\ Anna asks, as if this is some massive revelation. <<talk "eve">>I've always been this smart!<</talk>>\ There's humor in Eve's voice as she speaks. <<talk "eve">>I was born with a diabolical mind.<</talk>>\ There's a long silence again. <<talk "anna">>And how is makeup supposed to help?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Everyone knows makeup makes a girl irresistible.

<<talk "eve">>My tummy hurts.<</talk>>\ You can hear Eve whine on the other side of the door. <<talk "anna">>We've had this talk before...<</talk>>\ Anna replies softly. <<talk "anna">>You're having your period.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>What do you think it means?<</talk>>\ Eve implores. <<talk "eve">>I never used to get periods.<</talk>>\ Anna lets out a sigh that suggests that her reply is well rehearsed and has been used more than once already. <<talk "anna">>We both know that our old master did something to you, something that kept you young, and prevented your period. After he died and the other servants were taken, you had your first period. That was before our new master arrived. So that tells me that he was doing something to prevent your periods that stopped after his death.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Does this mean I'm finally going to start growing up?<</talk>>\ Eve's tone nearly pleads. <<talk "anna">>I don't know, I didn't know last time you asked, and I don't know now.<</talk>>\ There's a sadness in Anna's weary tone. <<talk "anna">>It might be that no periods were just a side effect of whatever our old master was doing to keep you young, and it could be that they were two separate things. I just don't know.<</talk>>\ Eve lets out a heavy sigh. <<talk "eve">>Why does it have to hurt? It's like my belly is all crampy and I feel like I have a balloon in my belly.<</talk>>\ Before you can hear any more, you decide to step back from the door and allow the girls a moment to themselves. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You happen to glance up from where you're sitting just in time to see something that surprises you. Gaia, walking down the hallway just outside the door of the room you are in. She's crouched low, clearly tense as her head swivels back and forth in search of potential danger. When she meets your eyes, she smiles, but it's the hesitant smile of someone trying to look brave rather then the happiness you have grown accustomed to seeing. Standing, you move toward her, careful not to make any sudden movements or sounds that might startle her. By the time you reach the room's threshold, she's past the door. It's then that you see the reason //why// Gaia has decided to brave the mansion. Eve, with an arm fill of apples, holding one out in her hand, is slowly backing away from the dark skinned woman, luring her further into the mansion. <<talk "player">>Eve, are you sure this is a good idea?<</talk>>\ Gaia's head whips around to look at you, her body tensing, but then slowly relaxing once more. <<talk "eve">>Sure! I'm showing her the mansion, and now I'm taking her to the gym so she can see herself in all the mirrors!<</talk>>\ Gaia's head pivots back to Eve, taking another step to follow the child like woman. //Mirrors, this should be interesting.// Allowing Eve to set the pace, you follow the pair. Gaia moves slowly, stopping often to tilt her head or look at something new as she tries to take in everything at once. When Eve angles herself toward the door to the gym, you see Gaia pause in the doorway, her eyes moving rapidly as she tries to make sense of what all she is seeing. Then with a single step she is inside. A couple of seconds later, you follow her, finding her turning slowly, holding her spear with a white knuckled grip though she shows no sign of raising it. Then one second to the next, she bares her teeth, hissing almost like a cat and raising her spear as if prepared to throw it. For a split second, you aren't sure what has set her off, but then you realize that it's her own reflection on the mirrors lining the walls. <<talk "player">>Gaia!<</talk>>\ You say quickly, trying to draw her attention to your own reflection. You see her eyes flicker to your reflection, her body becoming even more tense for a moment before confusion flashes across her face. Rapidly, her attention shifts between you and your reflection even as you reach out so that your hand touches the mirror. On Gaia's other side, Eve realizes what you're doing and quickly moves to do the same. //How the heck can Eve move so quickly around Gaia without spooking her?// You have just enough time to think before Eve presses her own hand against the mirror. [[Next.|Gaia First Time in Mansion 1a]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn<<addtime { minute : 7 }>> <<set $gaiaInside to 1>>

A sort of tension hangs in the air as Gaia's attention shifts from Eve, to Eve's reflection, then to you and your reflection. Very slowly, Gaia raises her spear. Worry courses through you as you fear she's about to attack the mirror. But that's not what happens. Instead, she lowers it again, then raises it. You see Gaia tilt her head one way, then shifts it slowly to the other. //She's figuring it out.// So quickly that you take an involuntary step back, prepared to defend yourself, Gaia moves toward the mirror, stopping about arm's length away from the glass. Raising her hand, she looks between her arm and that of her reflection before reaching out to touch the mirror. She smiles, then jerks back from the mirror. Then she leans forward again, touching her own face and pushing at her lips to expose her teeth. Eve giggles from Gaia's other side. Gaia grins suddenly, leaning so close to the mirror that her breath fogs the surface. She moves quickly to one side, looking like she's trying to outrun her reflection, then jerks the other way. You're surprised when she steps toward the mirror, her head bouncing off the mirror as she steps right into it. Eve giggles when she see Gaia's surprised expression. Gaia growls at the mirror, stepping forward slower this time. She bares her teeth, and as you watch, her eyes move from the eyes of her reflection to her teeth, shifting back and forth. Than she reaches up with one hand, touching the mirror as she gets close to it again. She presses her face against the mirror, her eyes wide open. //I'm glad I don't clean these mirrors,// You think with a bit of humor. As if in response to your thought, Gaia moves to the side, dragging her face across the glass as she does so. Then her tongue is out, leaving a slimy trail across the mirror as she moves. Then one second to the next she freezes in place, her eyes moving to you and meeting your eyes. You can't tell if she's self conscious, or just worried that she's doing something wrong, but she pulls back from the mirror, her tongue fully leaving the glass before retracting back into her mouth. She smacks her lips, then pivots away. Without warning, she's in motion, moving quickly now as she stalks her way out of the gym again. Both Eve and yourself rush to follow her, exiting the gym just in time to see her running down the hallway, crouched low as she moves.

<<talk "eve">>This is going better than I thought it would!<</talk>>\ Eve says beside you, sounding pleased with herself. At the end of the hall, you see Gaia pivot to one side. //Heading for the stairs of dining room then.// You realize. You reach the entry hall just in time to see Gaia darting up the stairs, half way to the second story. Several things happen at once. You see Anna strolling along the second story balcony, her expression serene as she attends her daily chores. Eve steps past you and calls out excitedly to her sister, causing Anna's head to turn toward her sister. And Gaia reaches the top of the stairs with her spear leading the way. It's clear that the first thing Anna sees is the spear, her face contorting in fear as a scream tears itself from her lips. Surprise flashes across Eve's features. And Gaia, reacting on instinct dives over the banister to escape confrontation. You have just a split second to worry Gaia will hurt herself when she hits the floor, but instead she hits the ground in a crouch. Her expression is scared as she looks at you and Eve, then she bolts in the opposite direction. Glancing at Anna, you look at her only long enough to make sure she's ok, then look back toward Gaia. Unfortunately, she's already out if sight. <<talk "player">>You see where she went?<</talk>>\ You ask Eve. She shakes her head. //Crap,// You think to yourself. <<talk "player">>We need to find her and get her out of here before she hurts herself or one of us. You hit the study, I'll search the living room. We can work our way down the hall as we search.<</talk>>\ Eve nods, running toward the Study, and you're only a few steps behind her entering the living room. Your first impulse is to check the windows in case Gaia is trying to get out, then you turn your attention to anywhere she could potentially be hiding. You've nearly finished searching the room when you hear a commotion in the hallway. Abandoning your search of the living room, you rush to the door, finding Eve entering the hallway from the opposite at almost the same time as you. <<talk "anna">>She just went up the stairs! Looked like she headed down the north hall!<</talk>>\ Anna says when she sees you, still a little wide eyed from the experience. You nod in thanks, then angle for the stairs. Half way up you think to turn back to Anna. <<talk "player">>Anna, open the front door. If she comes back down the stairs, I want the first thing she sees to be an exit.<</talk>>\ Then you're racing up the stairs two at a time. Skidding to a halt at the top, you scan the doors lining the hallway, only seeing the door to the master bedroom open. //That's where she likely went.// As if to confirm your suspicion, you hear something large slam into the bedroom window overlooking the back yard of the estate. Horrified at the prospect of her hurling herself through the window, you run for everything you're worth. <<talk "player">>Gaia!<</talk>>\ You shout just in time to break her stride before she can throw herself at the window a second time.

<<talk "player">>Gaia, I know you're not going to like this, but we need to get you outside before someone gets hurt. Probably you if you try to jump through that window again.<</talk>> You do your best to use a calming voice, but from the wild look in her eyes, you're not having much affect. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see that the bed still isn't made after last night. Then you have an idea. Moving to one side, Gaia shies away from you. It only takes you a few paces to get her cornered behind the bed. The moment she realizes she's cornered, she darts for the only escape she sees, she dives right over the top of the bed. Only that is exactly what you were waiting for. Grabbing the blanket with both hands, you pull with all your might, yanking the blanket out from under her feet and sending Gaia into a flailing tangle of limbs as she hits the floor hard. Then you're diving across the bed after her, blanket still in hand as you tackle her to the ground. Gaia screams, she kicks and thrashes about. You even feel her teeth through the blanket at one point. For a while, you aren't quite sure if you're going to be able to restrain her in the blanket or not, but when Gaia's struggles are replaced by a deep growl, you know you've won for at least the moment. You talk to her the whole time, trying to sound soothing as you manipulate the blanket to better restrain the wild woman until you're somewhat confident that you'll be able to keep her wrapped inside long enough to get her outside. When you pick her up, she struggles again, but this time it's shorter, more of a token resistance than anything else. Once you have her picked up, you glance toward one end of the blanket, only to see a bit of her tangled hair and a single eye glaring at you. Pressed against her face less than an inch from her eye is the shaft of her spear, pressed tightly against her face as it's tangled in the blanket with her. The growling never stops. <<talk "player">>Alright, I'm going to take you down stairs now, take you outside, then I'm going to let you go. This will be a lot easier if you relax a bit.<</talk>> You tell her, knowing she's not going to understand what you're saying but still hoping she'll understand that you're trying to help. When you start to move, Gaia struggles a little again, but quickly stills when you nearly lose your grip on her. By the time you reach the stairs, Eve is by your side, talking to Gaia, trying to keep the ebony woman calm. Anna stands at the front door of the mansion, concern in her eyes as she subtly steps to the side to give you more room even before you start down the stairs. You meet Gaia's eye again, realizing that she's breathing rapidly and nearly vibrating in your arms because she's so tense and agitated. Every step you take, you're scared that she's going to break free of your grip and send you both tumbling down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, you let out a breath you didn't even realize you were holding and instantly start for the front door. The moment you step outside the front door, some of the tension goes out of Gaia, her growling stops, and her one visible eye turns skyward. <<talk "player">>Ok, I'm going to carry you just a little way away from the steps here, then lay you down. Alright?<</talk>>\ Not expecting an answer, you put actions to words and carry her to what looks like a soft patch of grass. You're just starting to lay her down when her struggles resume. This time you loose your grip and she falls to the ground. You step back quickly to avoid her potentially attacking you as she manages to contort her way free of the blanket she's been wrapped in. She snarls, her spear swinging in a wide arc around herself as if to confirm that nothing is immediately around her. Baring her teeth at you, she slinks back a couple of steps. Her eyes dart about, then return to you. Not breaking eye contact, she lunches forward. You take a half step back, your hands coming up as you prepare to defend yourself. Fortunately, you're not what interests her. Her free hand lashes out, grabbing the corner of the blanket she had just been wrapped in before rushing for the treeline with her new prize. Once she's out of sight, you sign. //I wonder how long it will be before she forgives us for this little episode?// [[End.|frontYard]] Generously Sponsored by Braidborn<<addtime { minute : 8 }>> <<set $gaia.affection -= 50>><<set $gaia.fear += 150>><<set $gaia.trust -= 100>>

<<talk "player">>Gaia, lets get you outside.<</talk>>\ You step back, passing back through the threshold. Gaia watches you, making you feel like you've cornered a dangerous animal As you watch, you can see just a hint of the tension go out of her. Making sure she has a good view of you, you point toward the entry hall, hoping that she'll understand what you're trying to imply. She remains rooted to the spot, her eyes moving between you and the back yard through the window that seems so tantalizingly close Motioning for her to follow you, you take another step back. You're just starting to think she's going to stay were she is when she finally moves. There's worry in her eyes, still clearly skittish, she darts toward you, barely clearing the threshold before she darts down the hallway in the direction you're pointing. You look at where she's headed, instinctively following her. Near the stairs leading down to the ground floor, you can see Eve following your lead, pointing toward the stairs leading down and presumably to the open front door. As soon as Gaia reaches the stairs, she turns. Bare foot, her feet are barely a whisper on the stairs as she races down them. You reach the top of the stairs just in time to see Gaia vanish out the front door of the mansion. The first thing you do is sigh in relief. Then you look down at where Anna is standing, looking rattled by the whole experience. Then in near unison, you and Anna both look at eve, the small woman seeming to wilt under the scrutiny. <<talk "eve">>There's always a silver lining. She's comfortable enough with us that we can lure her into the mansion with apples now, . . . . <</talk>>\ For just a second, you consider saying something, but from the look Anna is giving her sister, you decide to leave the situation in Anna's hands for now.

Leaning toward the door, you call down the hallway. <<talk "player">>Eve! You created this mess, get in here and help me resolve it.<</talk>>\ Turning your attention back to Gaia, you reach out a hand, hoping that she'll focus her attention on you. Gaia glances at the window again, a mewling sound escaping her lips as she sees the familiar back yard so close. Her head whips around as Eve comes skidding into the room. <<talk "player">>I'm going to circle her, try to get between her and the window so she doesn't try to go through it again. See if you can coax her toward the door and point her back toward the entry hall.<</talk>>\ You step off to the side, circling to the side as you start moving around the room. <<talk "eve">>Apple! You want an apple?<</talk>>\ Gaia's eyes dart to the apple in Eve's hand, the tightness around her eyes loosening almost imperceptibly. What happens next shocks you, not only because it is the last thing you would have thought to do, but also because of how well it works. Eve, without a care in the world walks straight toward Gaia, placing the apple she is holding in the dusky skinned woman's hand. Then with her other hand she reaches out and takes the hand Gaia is holding her spear in. <<talk "eve">>Lets go back outside.<</talk>>\ Eve says simply to Gaia before looking at you, her expression seeming to ask //'Why are you making this so difficult?'// Gaia stuffs the apple in one of the small makeshift pouches hanging from her simple belt, then shifts her spear to the other hand so she can hold Eve's hand more comfortably. You watch Eve lead Gaia toward the master bedroom's door. Gaia turning her head to look at you, visibly calmer as Eve leads her out of your sight. A second later, you snap out of your surprised stupor and follow. You're just hitting the top of the stairs as Eve and Gaia reach the bottom. Eve says something to Gaia, but you can't hear it from where you're standing. The ebony woman lets go of Eve's hand and trots to the front door. When she reaches the threshold, she pauses, turning back to Eve with a smile. Her smile falters slightly when she looks up at you, replaced with an almost apologetic look. You smile and wave, causing Gaia to do the same in return. Then Gaia pivots and is gone, leaving Anna sighing in relief and a smug looking Eve in her wake.

$year gte 2 Library Living room Lounge Study Startled as she leaves the gym. Panic as Gaia sort of freaks out, wanting to leave to the perceived safety of outside but not sure how to get there. Scooby-Doo around the mansion for a bit. Option to let Eve get Gaia out, try to talk Gaia out of the mansion, or trying to jump her and take her out of the mansion.

You cover your eyes and start to count. As soon as you begin, Eve half skips, half runs away from you. Counting slowly, you listen to her retreating footsteps while trying to figure out which direction she went in. When you finish counting, you head in the direction she went, watching for where she might have gone. You don't have to go far before you can hear Anna's voice, just a little heat in her tone. Your footsteps draw you closer until you're looking into the entry hall. In the entry hall, you see Anna standing at the base of the stairs, Eve standing just a couple of stairs above her. <<talk "anna">>-How many times I've told you, you can't be running in the house. I don't care what you think you were doing.<</talk>>\ Anna lectures. <<talk "thought">>The real question is, do I slip off like a coward and let Eve get in trouble for this, or do I man up and let Anna know that I'm the one who let her play during work hours?<</talk>>\ [[Let Eve take the heat.|HideSeekInterrupt1a]] [[Man up.|HideSeekInterrupt1b]] <<movenpc "anna" "entryHall">><<movenpc "eve" "entryHall">><<set $location to "entryHall">>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

For just a second longer, you listen to Anna lecture her sister. Then you take a half step back to ensure you aren't seen. When Anna is finished, a visibly upset Eve returns to her chores as Anne resumes cleaning. Giving a ten count, you step out into the entry hall.

You barely hesitate before stepping into the entry hall. <<talk "player">>Anna...<</talk>>\ ''You call, getting her attention.'' She pivots toward you, a serene expression on her face as she does so. Eve in contrast perks up significantly when she notices your entry. <<talk "player">>This is actually my fault.<</talk>>\ Anna's brow starts to crease with concern. <<talk "player">>I was playing with her. We were playing hide and seek, and if she was running in the house, it was so she could find a hiding place while I counted.<</talk>>\ Anna's brow knits. She's clearly torn between being upset at her sister, and obedient to you. You glance toward Eve. <<talk "player">>You should probably get back to work, we can play again some other time.<</talk>>\ Eve doesn't protest. Instead she says a soft. <<talk "eve">>Thank you, right away.<</talk>>\ Before rushing off to do her chores. When your eyes return to Anna, there's a slightly troubled look in her eyes. <<talk "player">>It's my fault...<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>No, it's not your fault. I'm just...<</talk>>\ You can tell her words are forced, like she doesn't know what to say. She trails off for a second, seeming to consider her words before replying further. <<talk "anna">>I'm just used to things being done differently, and I want to make sure she completes all of her chores.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>Well that turned awkward fast.<</talk>>\ A slight smile tugs at the corner of your lips when you finally reply. <<talk "player">>Does this mean you aren't going to spank me?<</talk>>\ Anna opens her mouth to reply, then seems to choke on her words. Her eyes widening as she looks at you first in shock, then embarrassment as her cheeks turn crimson. <<talk "player">>I'm sorry, I don't mind her playing in the mansion, but I'll try to refrain from encouraging it when she should be doing her chores.<</talk>>\ You say in a more serious tone. Anna nods, seeming unsure of what to do until your attention shifts away from her.

<<talk "player">>Maybe we can play again another day.<</talk>>\ You say around a warm smile. <<talk "player">>We both have other things we should be taking care of right now.<</talk>>\ Instead of protesting, Eve instead throws her arms around you in a fierce hug. <<talk "eve">>Promise?<</talk>>\ You place your hand on the top of her head, patting it lightly. <<talk "player">>Promise.<</talk>>\ With a big grin on her face, she skips away toward whatever chore she needs to take care of. [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>Sorry, it's going to have to wait. We've both got things we still need to take care of.<</talk>>\ You point out. You see Eve draw a deep breath, defiance in her eyes. You can tell she's about to protest, but then she seems to stop herself, slumping slightly as she lets out the breath. <<talk "eve">>Ok. But maybe we can play again some time?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I would like that very much.<</talk>>\ You can feel a slight smile touch your lips as you realize you mean every word you just said. The smile that forms on Eve's lips threatens to split her face in two. <<talk "player">>Back to work with you.<</talk>>\ You say, the soft chuckle that escapes your lips ruining the serious tone you try to put forth. Without protest, Eve thanks you for playing with her and wanders off, presumably to attend the chores she has been neglecting. [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>It's getting a bit late, maybe we should call it good for the day.<</talk>>\ You tell Eve. <<talk "eve">>Just one more game?<</talk>>\ There's a slight whine in her tone as she says the words. <<talk "player">>Nope, if we played one more game, then you'd just ask for one more once that one was done, and one more after that. I've got to make a stand somewhere.<</talk>>\ You say with mock seriousness. Eve's expression turns serious. <<talk "eve">>Ok, but you'll play with me again.<</talk>>\ Her words sound more like a statement than a question. <<talk "player">>Of course.<</talk>>\ With a little smile tugging at the corners of her lips, she looks almost impish as she speaks again. <<talk "eve">>Soooooon.<</talk>>\ She drags out the word to almost diabolical proportions. As soon as she does so, she raises two fingers, pointing toward her own eyes, then turning them toward yours. She tries hard to suppress her smile, but as she turns to leave you can see a large grin blossoming across her face. [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>I think I'm done for the moment.<</talk>>\ Eve takes a quick step toward you, throwing her arms around you. You return the hug, sweeping her off her feet as you hug her. She giggles as her feet leave the ground, her head pressed firmly against your shoulder. You hold her like that for a few seconds. The smell of her shampoo is faint but present. <<talk "thought">>Smells like bubblegum?<</talk>>\ You realize. With the realization, a darker thought enters your mind unbidden. <<talk "thought">>It must be something my Great Uncle stocked in the house because I don't remember buying anything like that for the girls. Why would he buy nice things for the girls unless he had ulterior motives.<</talk>>\ You quickly squash the train of thought before it can go any further. Sitting Eve back down, you give her a light pat on the top of her head. Eve seems to notice your change in mood. <<talk "eve">>Sometimes I'm happy that I'm little. I get to be silly and no one thinks it's weird.<</talk>>\ Her expression turns sage. <<talk "eve">>And people who are grown up turn too serious sometimes, usually for no reason at all.<</talk>>\ A faint smile tugs at the corner of your lips. <<talk "player">>I don't know, you just turned pretty serious all of a sudden.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Only because you turned serious first.<</talk>>\ Eve pauses, her gaze intense. <<talk "eve">>Never forget how to have fun. Your Great Uncle forgot how to have fun. I love you just the way you are.<</talk>>\ Eve offers you a small smile before she turns to leave. In her wake, you stand there, considering her words. [[End.|$location]] ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You can hear the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps behind you. Pivoting, you see Eve approaching. She comes to a quick stop right in front of you. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, would you play a game with me?<</talk>>\ As the words leave her mouth, you can see the excitement in her eyes as she nearly bounces from foot to foot. For a few seconds, you consider how to answer. <<talk "player">>What did you have in mind?<</talk>>\ You finally ask. Eve leans toward you, glancing over her shoulder before saying in a conspiratorial tone. <<talk "eve">>Hide and seek.<</talk>>\ A little smile begins to spread on her lips as she waits for your reply. <<link "Agree to play.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <<link "Decline her offer.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveReject>><</link>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Eve's soft giggle pulls you from your thoughts. For just a second, you look around, trying to figure out where she might be, but it's not until you see the drapes move slightly that you realize that there are two feet sticking out from the bottom of the long drapes over the nearby window. Feeling a moment of amusement, you decide to play along. <<talk "player">>Boy, I haven't seen Eve around for a while, I wonder what she's gotten off to? I bet she's off causing mischief somewhere.<</talk>>\ Another giggle from the drapes, this time muffled like she's trying hard to keep it inside. Taking a quick step toward the drapes, you quickly pull them back to reveal Eve standing there, both hands over her mouth and a twinkle in her eyes as she looses the battle to keep her laughter in. You chuckle softly as Eve busts into giggles. <<talk "player">>You should be working.<</talk>>\ You say, but there's no heat in your voice. <<talk "eve">>Can we play instead?<</talk>>\ She asks, still breathless from her giggle fit. <<link "Agree to play.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <<link "Decline her offer.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveReject>><</link>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "anna">>No I will NOT play hide and seek with you right now, I have other matters to attend.<</talk>>\ You hear Anna say firmly. You stop where you are, not wanting to draw attention to yourself. <<talk "eve">>But Anna!<</talk>>\ Eve whines. Whatever Anna says in reply is too soft to make out the words. However a few seconds later you can hear the sound of Anna's footsteps retreating. After a short pause, you step away from where you had been standing. Eve looks at you, a slightly disappointed look on her face still from her earlier exchange with her sister. Raising one hand in greeting. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Good evening Eve.<</talk>>\ <<link "Ask if she would like to play with you.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> [[Return your attention to your own concerns.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

You sigh, shaking your head slowly as you do so. You can already see Eve's expression starting to fall before you even utter a word. <<talk "player">>Sorry, you've got chores to attend.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>But maybe we can play some time when you aren't busy.<</talk>>\ Eve lets out a heavy sigh, her shoulders slumping in an exaggerated manner. <<talk "eve">>Ok...<</talk>>\ She replies softly.

Eve lets out a squeal of joy. <<talk "eve">>Count to one hundred before you look for me!<</talk>>\ ''She calls as she rushes off.'' You watch for a few seconds before she calls over her shoulder. <<talk "eve">>No peaking!<</talk>>\ Before leaving your field of view. Not bothering to turn away since she's already gone from where you can see, you begin to count slowly to yourself. A couple of minutes later when you finish counting, you begin to walk toward where you saw her disappear. You begin your search, going room by room even though you lack a sense of urgency about your movements. Eventually you end up in the Ball Room. Your eyes scan the room for any sign of Eve, but you're almost ready to turn around when you see a hint of movement near the piano. Your footsteps inevitably draw you toward the piano, and the young woman hiding behind it. <<talk "player">>Found you.<</talk>>\ You say lightly. Eve's head whips around toward you, surprised to see you standing right beside the piano. Her surprise quickly turns to a large smile. <<talk "eve">>Again?<</talk>>\ She asks hopefully. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "Done for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "ball room">><<set $location to "ball room">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 12 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

You turn away and start to count loudly. Behind you, you can hear Eve running off in search of a hiding place. <<talk "player">>And one hundred.<</talk>>\ You finally utter. <<talk "player">>Ready or not, here I come!<</talk>>\ Knowing she likely didn't hear you in the massive house, you set off in search of Eve. You wander from room to room for several minutes in search of her. <<talk "player">>Come out, come out, where ever you are.<</talk>>\ You announce in a melodious tone each time you enter a room. It's not until you enter your own bedroom before you hear a faint giggle in response to your call. Creeping around the room, you look under the bed, check behind the curtains, and even briefly search the bathroom. It's not until you reach the closet that you hear a soft shuffle from within. <<talk "player">>I guess she must be hiding somewhere else.<</talk>>\ You say, feigning exasperation. You stomp your feet a few times, stomping a little softer each step until they're faint enough to be barely audible. Then you wait, standing right beside the closet door in silence. Nearly a minute passes, but you hear the latch move on the door right before it starts to swing silently open. Once it's open, you watch as Eve leans out, looking toward the bedroom door. She only takes a step before you speak. <<talk "player">>Don't go that way, I thought I heard him leave the room a minute ago.<</talk>>\ You're barely able to keep the laughter out of your voice. Eve glances at you, starts to nod sagely, then her eyes widen in surprise as she realizes who just spoke. She lets out a little shriek or surprise, then degenerates into giggles as you sweep her off her feet in a playful hug. <<talk "eve">>One more?<</talk>>\ She asks as you sit her down again. Considering your answer, the two of you walk toward the entry hall. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "Done for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "entryHall">><<set $location to "entryHall">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 7 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

<<talk "eve">>Count to one hundred!<</talk>>\ Then Eve shouts as she rushes off. Dutifully, you begin to count. Once done, you start to search the house for her. Room by room you search, trying to seek out any sign of where she might have gone. You're nearly to the point of giving up and asking for help finding your wayward playmate when you enter the servant's area and notice the door to the attic is ajar. Stepping through the door, you look at the large area. Sheets hang like death shrouds over items, only half of which you can identify from their shapes, all through the area. <<talk "player">>I've found you now!<</talk>>\ You call out, your voice sounding small in the attic. Almost immediately, Eve pokes her head up and runs toward you. Even before she reaches you, you can see the tears in her red rimmed eyes. She nearly throws herself at you, her arms embracing you in a tight hug. <<talk "player">>Whoa, what's wrong?<</talk>>\ You ask, suddenly concerned. <<talk "eve">>I thought you had forgotten about me.<</talk>>\ She mumbles against your chest. <<talk "player">>Why would you have thought that?<</talk>>\ You ask, giving her a reassuring squeeze. <<talk "eve">>You took too long to find me.<</talk>>\ She says softer this time, you're barely able to make out the words. You can't help but smile faintly. <<talk "player">>The only reason it took so long to find you is because you hid so well.<</talk>>\ Eve looks up at you, her expression skeptical, but a growing smile replaces the expression over a few seconds time. <<talk "eve">>Can we play again? I won't hide so good this time.<</talk>>\ You chuckle softly before replying. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "attic">><<set $location to "attic">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 18 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

You turn to start counting at the same time Eve lets out a happy shriek. Counting loudly, you can hear her rapidly retreating footsteps fade until you can no longer hear her. When you finally reach one hundred, you glance around real quickly on the off chance she decided to sneak back to somewhere nearby, then start off in the direction you last heard her. For several minutes, you wander room to room, searching for any sign of where Eve might have gone. At one point, you see Anna walking down the hallway as she goes about her chores, she casts a curious look your direction but only gives a small nod in greeting as she attends whatever task she has set out to accomplish. It's not until you pass your bedroom door and see the door cracked open just a little bit that you pause. Pushing the door open, you can see just a hint of movement from beneath your bed, but you pretend that you didn't notice. Smiling to yourself, you wander about the room for a minute, pretending to look for Eve while plotting how best to surprise her. When you near the bed, you crawl on top of it rather than looking under it. For several seconds you wait, listening to the soft sounds Eve makes. Eventually, you can hear her starting to slip out from under the bed, and when that happens you move to that part of the bed and look over the edge. As soon as Eve's head clears the edge of the bed, she looks up, meeting your eyes. She looks surprised, but the surprise is short lived as a grin breaks out across her face. <<talk "eve">>You're sneaky... Can we play again?<</talk>>\ She states. You can't help but smile as you slip off the bed. Reaching down, you take her hand and help her back to her feet before answering. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "master bedroom">><<set $location to "master bedroom">> Scene generously sponsored by Matty.<<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

Closing your eyes, you begin to count loudly as you hear Eve quickly scurry away. For the last ten count, you rush through the numbers, grinning as you do so. <<talk "player">>Ready or not, here I come!<</talk>>\ You declare loudly, then wait a couple more seconds before starting your search. You start to search the mansion, looking for any sign of her passing as you go. It takes several minutes before you notice the bathroom door in the north hall slightly ajar. Opening the door further, you watch as a sliver of light widens to illuminate the otherwise dark room. From the tub you hear a soft thud, a clear indication that you have located your prey. Looking at the tub, you can see just a hint of her clothes in view, but for the moment you pretend not to notice. Instead you start rummaging through the room. <<talk "player">>I wonder where she could be hiding.<</talk>>\ You tease playfully. To her credit, she manages to remain completely silent. When you have pretended to look everywhere else, a wicked thought crosses your mind. Instead of simply leaning over the edge of the claw foot tub, you instead reach for the the knob that turns on the water. Turning it, a splash of water jets from the spout into the tub. Like a banshee's wail, Eve's shriek seems to reverberate off the walls of the room as she ejects from the tub like a steel ball leaving the barrel of a cannon. She hits the ground on all fours and looks up at you with a shocked expression. <<talk "eve">>That wasn't nice!<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>What wasn't nice? Maybe I was just going to take a bath?<</talk>>\ You retort, unable to hold back a chuckle. Eve tries to give you a dirty look, but she's unable to force it through the grin that forms on her lips. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>> <<movenpc "eve" "master bedroom">><<set $location to "N bathroom">><<addtime { minute : 11 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

You start to count the same moment you close your eyes, taking your time and saying each number loudly. All the while, you are listening in the hopes of hearing some clue as to where Eve might be headed. Eve however manages to be stealthy enough to avoid detection as she slips away, giving you no clue as to where she might have gone. Moving quickly, you peek through each door you pass, only checking a few rooms before you open the kitchen door. Your eyes dart over the interior and do not immediately see any sign of Eve. Letting the door swing closed, you are half way turned around when you freeze in place. <<talk "thought">>Wait a minute, the pantry light was on, I could see just a little bit of light around the door frame on the far side of the room.<</talk>>\ Turning back to the kitchen, you slip inside and make your way toward the pantry. You're about half way there when you see the light suddenly turn off. A small smile tugs at the corners of your lips as you reach the door. Swinging it open, you flip on the light switch and look around. And there among the shelves, you can see Eve standing perfectly still just on the far side of one shelf, trying her best to not draw attention to herself. <<talk "player">>Wow, Eve would be really hard to find if I COULDN'T SEE HER THROUGH THE SHELVES.<</talk>>\ You bellow playfully. You can see Eve grin. <<talk "eve">>You found me, but next time I'll hide better!<</talk>>\ She declares. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>> <<movenpc "eve" "master bedroom">><<set $location to "N bathroom">><<addtime { minute : 11 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

<<talk "eve">>Go hide!<</talk>>\ Eve says gleefully before starting to count way too fast. You nearly run to put distance between you and her. She's nearly to forty by the time you can't hear her voice any more. <<talk "thought">>Not much time, where should I head?<</talk>>\ Even before you think of an answer consciously, your footsteps pull you toward the kitchens. You're barely to the door before you hear Eve's voice shout from somewhere in the distance. <<talk "eve">>Ready or not, here I come!<</talk>>\ Stepping through the door, you quickly glance around, and lacking a better idea, you step up beside the door, hoping that when it opens, it will shield you from Eve's view. You stand there for several minutes, waiting and listening for Eve's approach. Eventually, you hear soft footsteps approaching. Holding your breath, you lean back against the wall a little harder as the door opens beside you. Then you let your breath out in a whoosh when you see that it's only Anna. Anna turns toward you, a confused look on her face. She looks at you, clearly wondering why you are hiding behind the door. <<talk "anna">>Is there something I can help you with?<</talk>>\ She asks slowly, her tone guarded. <<talk "player">>Nope...<</talk>>\ You say softly, your words rushed. <<talk "player">>Just keep doing whatever you were doing.<</talk>>\ Anna gives a slow nod, then wanders further into the kitchen. As she gets to work, you see her casting an occasional look your way, still clearly confused as to why you are hiding behind the door. It's not much longer before Eve bursts through the door. Eve's head turns toward Anna, Anna's eyes turn toward you in surprise, then following her sister's gaze, Eve pivots straight toward you. <<talk "eve">>Found you!<</talk>>\ She says through a burst of giggles. <<talk "player">>You'd have walked right past me if your sister hadn't given away my position.<</talk>>\ You reply defensively. <<talk "anna">>I,-<</talk>>\ Anna stammers... <<talk "anna">>You shouldn't be encouraging her to play in the house like that.<</talk>>\ She finally finishes. <<talk "eve">>Can we play again?<</talk>>\ You glance between Eve's hopeful expression, then over at Anna's serene, yet somehow disapproving gaze. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "kitchens">><<set $location to "kitchens">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

<<talk "player">>Guess I should go hide then?<</talk>>\ You ask Eve, the excitement clear in her eyes. Instead of answering, Eve turns toward the wall, covers her face, and starts to count far too fast. <<talk "player">>Not so fast!<</talk>>\ You say, already starting to move. Eve slows her counting, but not by much. Not long after, you duck into the library. It only takes you a few seconds to realize that you don't have many good hiding spots. You only start to duck down one of the isles when you hear Eve burst into the room behind you. <<talk "eve">>You didn't even try to hide!<</talk>>\ She says, surprised. You turn toward her. <<talk "player">>I think you just count too fast.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You know, if you don't give someone time to hide because you count too fast, it takes some of the fun out of the game.<</talk>>\ Eve sighs, but doesn't reply immediately. <<talk "eve">>If at first you don't succeed, try, try again?<</talk>>\ She finally says, clearly hoping you'll keep playing with her. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>><<link "Play again.">>\ <<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "library">><<set $location to "library">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''<<addtime { minute : 2 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

Even before she starts counting, you take off running. You can hear her counting quickly in your wake, but she isn't gotten very far before you can no longer hear her. Racing through the house, you slip into one of the guest rooms, dive over the bed, and lay flat on the floor behind it. It takes a couple of minutes before your heartbeat settles back down to a regular rhythm. After a couple of minutes, boredom starts to sink in. You nearly miss the sound of the room's door opening. Turning your head, you try to look under the bed to see where she might be, but other than the door being open, you see no sign of her. You strain your ears, trying to listen for any sign of Eve, but you can't hear anything. The light filtering through the window behind you seems to dim slightly, like a cloud passing between you and the sun. You turn slightly, trying not to make any sound. There crouched above you is Eve, grinning ear to ear with her face just inches from your own. You nearly jump out of your skin, startled by her proximity to you. <<talk "eve">>Found you!<</talk>>\ She says, her grin remaining. <<talk "player">>You some kind of ninja or something?<</talk>>\ You ask in surprise. Her grin only seems to grow. <<talk "player">>I've been practicing.<</talk>>\ She replies enigmatically. <<talk "eve">>Can we play again?<</talk>>\ She asks as you stand up. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>><<link "Play again.">>\ <<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "That's enough for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>><<movenpc "eve" "master bedroom">><<set $location to "master bedroom">> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.'' <<addtime { minute : 8 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

The sound of rapid footsteps followed by the sound of the kitchen door closing piques your interest during your search for Eve. Following the sound, you work your way toward the kitchens, taking your time as you do so. <<talk "player">>I wonder where she went.<</talk>>\ You say for effect as you open the kitchen door. Once inside, you let your eyes drift over the interior of the room, searching for any clue of where Eve might have gone. When you see Mitsuko, a subtle smile just barely touches her eyes. You almost miss the fact that she takes a half step to one side to obscure one of the cabinets she is standing in front of. You glance at the cabinet, then back at Mitsuko. You can tell from her expression that she's trying far too hard to look like she doesn't know what's going on. <<talk "mitsuko">><<print $mitsuko.callsPlayer>>, was there something you needed?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Just looking for a missing little girl who might have run into here a little while ago.<</talk>>\ <<talk "mitsuko">>I haven't seen anyone."<</talk>>\ Mitsuko says, reaching for an ingredient she needs for whatever she's making. A soft sound of movement from inside the cabinet makes a lie to her words. <<talk "player">>Well, I'll just take a look around in case she somehow managed to sneak past you.<</talk>>\ Mitsuko doesn't reply, suddenly focused on her work as she takes another subtle step, this time managing to put herself fully in front of the cabinet you had heard the sound from. For the next couple of minutes, you rummage about the kitchen loudly, pretending to look for Eve in spite of being pretty sure you know where she is already. Finally you walk toward the kitchen door and open it. <<talk "player">>She's not here, so I'll go look for her somewhere else.<</talk>>\ You say a little louder than you need to, then let the door swing closed with you still inside. As quietly as you are able, you make your way over to Mitsuko, leaning against the counter right beside her. She watches you, but doesn't say a word. <<talk "eve">>Is he gone?<</talk>>\ Eve's voice comes from the cabinet Mitsuko is standing directly in front of. Mitsuko smirks, unable to hide her smile. You're pretty sure that your own expression is similar. There's a soft creak as the cabinet begins to open, first a hand, then her face coming into view. Eve's eyes swivel to you almost instantly, widening in surprise before narrowing. <<talk "eve">>You're sneaky.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I'd like to think so.<</talk>>\ You reply playfully. <<if $clock.hour lt 21>>\ <<link "Play again.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveStart>><</link>> <</if>>\ <<link "Done for now.">><<gotoevent setup.events.hideSeekEveEnd>><</link>> <<movenpc "eve" "ball room">><<set $location to "ball room">><<addtime { minute : 12 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>\

Looking reluctant, Anna steps toward the karaoke machine, picking up the microphone then selecting a song with a slightly concerned expression on her face. Once the song is selected, she stands to her full height and takes a deep breath that she lets out slowly. Anna seems to ponder the ground at her feet as the music begins to play. Her eyes flicker up to momentarily meet your own, then around the rest of the room before she starts to sing in a meek voice that is nearly drowned out by the music. <<talk "anna">>You can tell the world you never was my girl. You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone. You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been, And laugh and joke about me on the phone. You can tell my arms go back to the farm. You can tell my feet to hit the floor, Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips. They won't be reaching out for you no more.<</talk>>\ Her voice is so soft that you can't quite make out about half of the words. As she continues, her voice takes on just a bit more confidence, finally audible above the music even if it's still soft. <<talk "anna">>But don't tell my heart, My achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'd understand. And if you tell my heart, My achy breaky heart, He might blow up and kill this man.<</talk>>\ Every time sings the words, @@.a3;'achy breaky heart'@@ her eyes seem to flicker to you, her gaze vulnerable. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> Anna continues on, seemingly oblivious to anything else going on in the room, her occasional glances at you being her only real interactions other than the act of singing. <<talk "anna">>You can tell your mom I moved to Arkansas. You can tell your dog to bite my leg, Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip. He never really liked me anyway.<</talk>>\ By now Anna seems to actually be getting into the song, swaying her hips gently as she sings and her voice becoming stronger. <<talk "anna">>Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please. Myself already knows I'm not OK, Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind. It might be walking out on me today.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> <<talk "anna">>But don't tell my heart, My achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'd understand, And if you tell my heart, My achy breaky heart, He might blow up and kill this man.<</talk>>\ As the song draws toward it's inevitable conclusion her voice starts to fade again, seeming to realize that she is singing to an audience. By the time the final note has played, her eyes are downcast self consciously once more. Smiling, you begin to clap. <<talk "player">>That was wonderful!<</talk>>\ You say, having enjoyed her performance. She smiles in return, looking up at you before sitting the microphone down and stepping away from the karaoke machine quickly enough that you wonder if she's worried about having to sing again. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

Anna leans over the karaoke machine, taking several seconds to make her selection. When she stands straight, she looks a little rigid, her eyes downcast. There's only a seconds pause before the sound of a piano comes through the speaker. Her voice is barely a whisper as the words begin to leave her mouth. <<talk "anna">>At first I was afraid I was petrified. Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side...<</talk>>\ Her eyes flicker to you so quickly that you almost miss it, then her eyes seem to focus on a space on the floor between her feet. <<talk "anna">>But then I spent so many nights, thinkin' how you did me wrong.<</talk>>\ Her voice cracks on the last couple of words. You can see tears in her eyes as she looks up again, a tremor in her voice as she continues. <<talk "anna">>And I grew strong, and so you're back from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> You can see clear in her eyes that she's reliving something from her past as she sings, her voice is thick with emotion even as her voice becomes a little more firm. <<talk "anna">>I should have made you leave your key. If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me. Go on now, go walk out the door. Just turn around now, 'Cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye. Did I crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Oh no, not.I. I will survive. Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive; I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give and I'll survive, I will survive. Hey hey. It took all the strength I had not to fall apart. Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart, And I spent oh so many nights. Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high, and you see me somebody new, I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you.<</talk>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 850 && $anna.fear lte 250>>\ When her eyes meet yours again, you can see the hope and affection in her eyes. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 500 or $anna.fear lte 500>>\ Her eyes flicker to you, full of uncertainty with just a hint of hope behind that. <<else>>\ You see her eyes raise to the rest of the room for a second, an almost panicked expression on her face. <</if>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> Her voice sounds raw as she nears the end of the song. <<talk "anna">>And so you feel like droppin' in, and just expect me to be free, now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me!<</talk>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 850 && $anna.fear lte 250>>\ Her eyes return to yours, seemingly begging for your approval. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 500 or $anna.fear lte 500>>\ She can't quite hold your eyes as she finishes the song, a weak smile on her lips. <<else>>\ Her eyes are closed, tears falling down her cheeks as she last words fall from her lips. <</if>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 850 && $anna.fear lte 250>>\ Not sure what else to do, you step toward her, slipping your arms around her in a gentle embrace.

She stiffens initially, but quickly seems to go limp in your arms. <<talk "anna">>Sorry...<</talk>>\ She murmurs, extracting herself from your embrace. <<talk "player">>Nothing to be sorry for.<</talk>>\ You reply softly, letting her go. <<else>>\ You can see her body shaking, but you're not sure what to do. Part of you wants to put your arms around her, but at the same time you think perhaps it would be better to let her face her demons alone. <<talk "thought">>I don't want to make things worse.<</talk>>\ <</if>>\ The room is uncharacteristically quiet in the wake of the music. <<talk "thought">>Should we just call it quits for now?

After she selects her song, Anna has a sad sort of smile on her face that just barely touches her eyes. <<if $anna.affection gte 650>>\ ''Her smile grows slightly as she meets your eyes.'' <<elseif $anna.affection gte 400>>\ ''Her smile remains the same as she meets your eyes.'' <<else>>\ ''Her smile falters slightly as she meets your eyes.'' <</if>>\ Anna's voice has a kind warmth to it as she begins to sing. <<talk "anna">>Hey baby I'm talking to you. Stop yourself and listen. Some things you can never choose. Even if you try yeah. You're bangin' your head again. Cause somebody won't let you in. One chance, one love.

If we stay any longer, we will surely never get away. Anything you want, we can make it happen. Stand up and turn around. Never let them shoot us down. Never, never.

Oh oh never. We can't go on never. We can't go on never. Oh oh never. Oh oh never. We can't go on never.

You can see a faint smile on Anna's face as she turns away from the karaoke machine after making her selection. Her eyes flicker to her sister, then her expression turns suddenly self conscious as the notes begin to play. Anna sways from side to side as the drums begin to set the beat, the guitar joining it a couple of seconds later. Her eyes return to Eve as she starts to sing. <<talk "anna">>I never really feel quite right and I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong. Every time I look at you, you seem so alive. Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> Her eyes leave Eve, not quite looking at anyone as she continues. <<talk "anna">>Maybe on your own you take a cautious step. Till you want to give it up, but all I want is for you to, shine, shine down on me.<</talk>>\ You can hear how self conscious she is in her voice, but the heartfelt way she is singing gives the song a surprising gravity. <<talk "anna">>Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ You can see a sort of sadness in Anna's eyes as she continues to sing. Across from her Eve is hugging herself, swaying to the music with a sort of wistful smile on her lips. <<talk "anna">>I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right, and I act like I don't know why. I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for. When you look through me, you really knew me, like no one else ever looked before.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Maybe on your own you take a cautious step.

Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ You can see Anna struggling to bring her gaze back up to the rest of the room, her eyes suddenly rising as Eve begins to sing along with her. Eve's voice joins her sister, stronger and clearer than Anna's. <<talk "anna">>I know , I know, know you got somethin'.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I know , I know, know you got somethin'.<</talk>>\ Anna's smile is infectious, her voice suddenly more firm. <<talk "anna">>Shine!<</talk>>\ Eve quickly echos with, "Shine it on me!" <<talk "eve">>Shine down on me!<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I want to feel it.<</talk>>\ Their back and forth is impressive, to the point that you wonder to yourself if they've maybe practiced the song together before. <<talk "anna">>Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ Anna continues. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeAnnaInserts>> <<talk "anna">>Maybe on your own you take a cautious step. Till you want to give up, but all I want is for you to, shine, shine down on me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>>Just show me something!<</talk>>\ Eve is absolutely beaming as she sings along with her sister, and you finally realize that even without the microphone in her own hand, she's still filling the room with her voice. <<talk "eve">>Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>You give me something that I've never known.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is nearly as strong as her sisters now. <<talk "anna">>Shine!<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>If you could show me the way.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Shine down on me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I want to know what's going on in your life.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Don't you know I want you to.<</talk>>\ Finally, as Anna begins to sing the last few words, her voice starts to trail off until the last couple of words are barely a whisper. <<talk "anna">>Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out.<</talk>>\ As she finishes singing, you feel the urge to hug her, to hold her in your arms. Eve doesn't resist the same urge, rushing to her sister to tackle her in a hug. Anna smiles warmly, one arm around her sister while the other gently pats the shorter woman's head. All you can do is watch on, a little smile tugging at your lips as you watch the display before you." <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

You see the giantess Bubbles stand, looking uneasy. <<talk "eve">>Oh! What are you going to sing?<</talk>>\ Eve asks excitedly. <<talk "player">>Fare Thee Well.<</talk>>\ You catch Maki’s head whip around to look at her companion in the corner of your eye. You turn to her curiously, a strange glimmer in her hazel eyes. <<talk "player">>Is something wrong?<</talk>>\ <<talk "maki">>This song.... You won’t need the music. Probably won’t even have it.<</talk>>\ Maki sighs as Bubbles makes her way to the microphone. <<talk "player">>What?<</talk>>\ <<talk "maki" "This song. The last time she sang it was when Margaret....<</talk>>\ You see her hesitate a moment, eyes wandering past you to her inner thoughts. <<talk "maki">>Well.

She holds it for a moment, looking at it as if it was a snake before putting it back. The giantess stands, her hands folded in front of her not unlike Anna’s usual posture. You watch as Bubbles closes her single eye.... <<talk "maki">>If I had wings.... Like Noah’s dove, I’d fly up the river to the one I love.... Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well....<</talk>>\ You’re shocked at the voice that pours from the massive woman, haunting and melodic like gently rolling thunder. You see Anna next to you, her eyes wide in surprise while Maki simply smiles at the both of you. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeInserts>> <<talk "maki">>Well, I had a man who was long and tall... he moved his body like a cannon ball.... Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well....<</talk>>\ You listen to her drawl certain words, reminding you of old country songs your father listened to as a child. You are surprised for a moment when you feel Anna’s hand slip into yours. <<talk "maki">>I remember one evening... in the pouring rain.... And in my heart was an aching pain.... Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well....<</talk>>\ You feel Anna press herself against your side and smile. You see Eve swaying gently, eyes fixed on the caramel woman with rapt attention. <<talk "maki">>Muddy river... was muddy and wild. Can’t give a bloody for my unborn child... fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well....<</talk>>\ You see Maki resting her chin on her palms, her eyes slightly blurry from withheld tears.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.... Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well....<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeInserts>> You watch Bubbles slowly open her eye, a blush in her cheeks when she notices everyone’s attention on her. You gently clap with Anna as Eve rushes up and hugs the giantess. <<talk "eve">>Your voice is so amazing!<</talk>>\ Eve smiles, looking up at Bubbles. You watch the caramel woman pat Eve on the head as Maki approaches her companion. She puts her arms around the larger girl’s waist as Eve steps back, smiling warmly. You see Bubbles crouch slightly, putting her arms around Maki’s shoulder in a warm embrace. You give Anna’s hand a reassuring squeeze as your ears catch Maki murmuring something. <<talk "maki">>I miss her too, darling.<</talk>>\ You are curious, but as you see a pained expression cross Bubbles face you decide to ask about it later. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

- Should there be code to move the girls to this location? - Should there be a check to make sure you have a decent relationship with Anna for this scene?

Eve runs excitedly toward the karaoke machine, bending at the waist as she pushes some buttons to select her song before standing upright. With the microphone in hand, she bits her lips with barely restrained excitement as she waits for the song begin. As soon as the music begins, she moves the microphone to her lips, prepared to sing as soon as the words begin. With far more enthusiasm than is necessary, she begins to sing loudly. <<talk "eve">>I made it through the wilderness, Somehow I made it through, Didn't know how lost I was, Until I found you.<</talk>>\ She's grinning as she sings, her eyes flickering to you and Anna as she words flow from her mouth. <<talk "thought">>She'd actually have a pretty nice singing voice is she wasn't so focused on being loud.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>I was beat, Incomplete. I'd been had, I was sad and blue, but you made me feel. Yeah, you made me feel shiny and new!<</talk>>\ As she sings, she hops from foot to foot, her head bobbing like a bobble head as she does so. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> Eve jumps, her feet slamming to the floor as she belts out the next portion of the song at the top of her lungs. <<talk "eve">>Hoo, Like a virgin! Touched for the very first time! Like a vi-i-i-i-r-r-gin! When your heart beats, next to m-i-i-i-ne!<</talk>>\ She starts to sway back and forth in such an exaggerated manner that it comes off as comical. <<talk "eve">>Gonna give you all my love, boy!<</talk>>\ She glances at you through her grin, like she's seeking your approval. <<talk "eve">>My fear is fading fast, been saving it all for you. 'Cause only love can last!<</talk>>\ Eve dances in a little circle, holding the microphone high in the air as she does so before returning it to her lips to sing. <<talk "eve">>You're so fine and you're mine. Make me strong, yeah you make me bold. Oh your love thawed out, yeah, your love thawed out, what was scared and cold!<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> Moving toward the rest of the room, she leans forward as she continues. <<talk "eve">>Like a virgin, hey! Touched for the very first time! Like a v-i-i-i-rgin! With your heartbeat, next to mine.<</talk>>\ As the song nears it's conclusion, Eve starts jumping around, showing an amazing amount of energy and clearly uncaring of what anyone might think of her rambunctious performance. <<talk "eve">>Like a virgin, ooh ooh! Like a virgin! Feels so good inside! When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me!<</talk>>\ She gasps, trying to draw enough breath to finish. <<talk "eve">>Oh oh, ooh whoa. Oh oh oh who. Whoa oh ho, ho! Ooh baby! Yeah! Can't you hear my heart beat! For the very first time?!<</talk>>\ The last few words out of her mouth even threatens to drown out the sound of the karaoke machine. <<talk "eve">>That was AWESOME!<</talk>>\ Eve roars as she finishes, clearly winded from singing so hard. She holds the microphone out at arms length, then opens her hand to drop it where she stands, then nearly prances away from the karaoke machine. Seeing her display, you can't help but chuckle softly. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

Eve is bouncing back and forth to a song that only she can hear even before she reaches the karaoke machine. She sways playfully back and forth as she makes her selection, then turns toward the rest of the room with a large grin on her face. When the first words burst from her lips, it's with perhaps more force than is necessary, adding a comical air to a song that would already be difficult to take seriously. <<talk "eve">>Lollipop! lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop!<</talk>>\ The words stream forth from her mouth in a rush, a split second after she should be and giving the impression that she's trying to catch up. <<talk "eve">>Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop. Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!<</talk>>\ With a winkle in her eye, she puts a finger in her mouth, curls it and makes a loud @@.a3;Pop!@@ Sound as she extracts it. The impish grin on her face impossibly grows. Eve bounces with every word, her energy and enthusiasm for the song taking on a life of it's own. <<talk "eve">>Lollipop! lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!<</talk>>\ Then her finger goes back into her mouth, creating another impressive... @@.a3;Pop!@@ That seems to fill the room. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> With the next portion of the song, she begins to sway back and forth, momentarily forgetting her previous bouncing. <<talk "eve">>Call my baby lollipop. Tell you why. His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie! And when he does his shaky rockin' dance; Man, I haven't got a chance!<</talk>>\ From one note to the next, she stops swaying and returns to bouncing. For just a split second you think her antics would look perfect in a mosh pit. <<talk "eve">>I call him, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!<</talk>>\ Then the finger is back in her mouth, a look of concentration on her face as she creates anoother loud... @@.a3;Pop!@@ She never misses a beat as she continues, and you have to wonder just how many time's she must have practiced the song to have her little performance down so exact. <<talk "eve">>Sweeter than candy on a stick! Huckleberry, cherry or lime! If you had a choice he'd be your pick. But lollipop is mine!!!<</talk>>\ By now you can actually see the sweat starting to bead on her forhead, a testament to the energy she is putting into the song. <<talk "eve">>Lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!<</talk>>\ This time when she puts her finger in her mouth, the @@.a3;"Pop!"@@ has a breathless quality to it that teases a smile from your lips. <<talk "eve">>Crazy way he thrills me, tell you why, just like a lightning from the sky. He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight! Gee, my lollipop is great!<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> You can see her traw a deep breath, trying to force enough air into her lungs for her big finale. <<talk "eve">>I call him, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!<</talk>>\ Finger back in her mouth, the @@.a3;Pop!@@ is a bit stronger this time, but still not as strong as the first couple during the song. Even so, she continues on without missing a beat. <<talk "eve">>Lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop! Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop! LOLLYPOP!!!<</talk>>\ The conclusion of the song leaves her breathless, her chest heaving as she tries to breathe normally. Her eyes wander the room, and when she sees you, there's a moment where her smile threatens to return before her breathlessness steals it away once more. Sitting the microphone down, she reluctantly moves away from the karaoke machine. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

From the excitement in her movements, it's clear that Eve knows what she wants to sing even before she makes the selection. She chooses her song quickly, then turns back toward the rest of the room with an impish grin on her face. When the music starts, the notes don't come as quickly as you were expecting, but only the first few notes need to play before you know exactly what she plans to sing. Her voice just a little too loud, Eve begins to sing. <<talk "eve">>Wild thing! You make my heart sing! You make everything grooooovy! Wild thing!<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> Jumping up and down in place, she keeps time with the music. <<talk "eve">>Wild thing, I think I love you.<</talk>>\ Every word out of her mouth seems to come with exaggerated care. <<talk "eve">>But I wanna know for su-ure!<</talk>>\ She continues, dragging out every word just a little bit. Eve's grin is sheepish as the next line leaves her lips. <<talk "eve">>So come on and hold me tight.<</talk>>\ Her expression shifts, like she's pretending to think about something before she utters the words. <<talk "eve">>I love you.<</talk>>\ When the song picks up a little quicker again. <<talk "eve">>Wild thing! You make my heart sing!<</talk>>\ Her head seems to bounce with every word that leaves her mouth. <<talk "eve">>You make everything groovy! Wild thing!<</talk>>\ As the solo plays, Eve bounces and dances in place without a care in the world, her arms held out, or in the air as she twirls and shakes. <<talk "eve">>Wild thing, I think you move me. But I wanna know for sure! So come on and hold me tight.<</talk>>\ Her expression is sage as the final words of the verse leave her mips. <<talk "eve">>You move me.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> Her bouncing becomes more animated as she nears the final verse of the song. <<talk "eve">>Wild thing! You make my heart sing! You make everything groovy! Wild thing!<</talk>>\ Eve begins to prance in a little circle, like she's pretending to be a pony, a smirk on her face. <<talk "eve">>Come on, come on, Wild Thing.<</talk>>\ Then she turns her back toward the room, shaking her bottom while looking over her shoulder. <<talk "eve">>Shake it, shake it, Wild Thing.<</talk>>\ After the final word has been sung, Eve continues to dance to the music, enjoying every moment of the song as it reaches it's inevitable conclusion. When it's finally over, she takes a bow, puts the microphone down, then steps away from the karaoke machine looking pleased with herself. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

When Eve turns away from the karaoke machine after making her selection, the excitement in her eyes is in contrast with the slow beat that begins to play through the speaker. <<talk "thought">>Sounds like some kind of techno pop.<</talk>>\ ''You think to yourself.'' Eve raises the microphone to her lips and the words begin softly, droning on just a half beat longer than you would expect them to. <<talk "eve">>Isolated. Alone and apart. Isolated. Isolated.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I'll never crawl again, I'll never fall again, Until I'm free.<</talk>>\ With every new word, there's just a bit more heart behind her singing. <<talk "eve">>Here I stand in this room. Caged and trapped inside. Seems I'm damned to live a lie. Unaware of what's outside. Should I care? For what's left me behind?<</talk>>\ There's a bit of intensity in her voice, and a hint of mischievousness in her eyes as the words continue to flow from her mouth. <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> <<talk "eve">>And I stare at lights that makes me blind. Internally there's nothing left for me to be. I'm here alone and isolated.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>This is kind of deep. I wonder if she's singing this one because it's how she really feels?<</talk>>\ You think of the occasional things she says, the way she sometimes is wise well beyond her years. As if to reinforce your thoughts, she continues. <<talk "eve">>Have no choice but be isolated. Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Struggling, left alone, apart. See I have no choice but be isolated. Threatened, forced to extract the heart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Have no choice but be.<</talk>>\ You look for tears in her eyes, but you see none. Instead there's a touch of sadness that seems to seep into her words. <<talk "eve">>The monsters make me hide.<</talk>>\ Her eyes flicker to you and her expression softens slightly before moving away from you again. <<talk "eve">>Perhaps I'll eat myself alive. Internally but it's there left for me to be.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I can't care for what's left me behind. And stare at lights that makes me blind. These broken walls trap me inside. I'm isolated.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Have no choice but be isolated. Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Threatened, forced to extract the heart. Have no choice but be isolated.<</talk>>\ You can see her eyes slightly unfocused as she sings. <<talk "thought">>She's singing for herself now.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Have no choice but be.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I'll never crawl again. I'll never fall again. Until I'm free.<</talk>>\ Eve takes a deep breath before continuing. <<talk "eve">>I'll never crawl again. I'll never fall again. Until I'm free.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> <<talk "eve">>And I stare at lights that makes me blind. Internally there's nothing left for me to be. I'm here alone and isolated.<</talk>>\ As Eve nears the end of the song, she begins to sing louder, putting force behind the words. <<talk "eve">>Have no choice but be isolated. Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Threatened, forced to extract the heart. Have no choice but be isolated. Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Threatened, forced to extract the heart. Have no choice but be isolated. Struggling, left alone, apart. Pushed aside, made segregated. Threatened, forced to extract the heart.<</talk>>\ She's nearly breathless as she reaches the final couple of lines of the song, you can see the strain on her face from the energy she's trying to put into the song. <<talk "eve">>I'll never crawl again. I'll never fall again. Until I'm free.<</talk>>\ Eve lowers the microphone, cradling it against her chest like something precious for a few beats as the final notes of the song play out. The second the song ends, she sits down the microphone, grins, then playfully dances toward you and Anna. Anna slips one arm around her sister protectively. You can see Eve smile at her sister's affection before she leans into Anna. As she does so, she glances at you, looking happy. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

After selecting a song from what the karaoke machine has to offer, Eve turns toward the rest of the room. There's a scowl on her face as her gaze sweeps the room. Very slowly a too-big smile splits her face into a toothy grin. Eve clears her throat, making a deep sound as she does so. When she begins to sing, she makes her voice low and ominous. <<talk "eve">>You're a mean one, Mr Grinch! You really are a heel! You're as cuddly as a cactus. You're as charming as an eel. Mr. Grinch! You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> You can see in her eyes that she's struggling not to giggle already as she sings. Taking a deep gasp of air, she continues right on cue. <<talk "eve">>You're a monster, Mr. Grinch! Your heart's an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders!<</talk>>\ She raises one hand, wiggling her fingers like it's supposed to be a spider. <<talk "eve">>You've got garlic in your soul. Mr. Grinch! I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!<</talk>>\ Breathing hard, Eve prowls back and forth, clearly trying to look menacing but only managing to look silly in doing so. <<talk "eve">>You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch! You have termites in your smile.<</talk>>\ She peels back her lips, showing her teeth. <<talk "eve">>You have all the tender sweetness, of a seasick crocodile. Mr. Grinch! Given the choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!<</talk>>\ Eve stands straight, pulling herself up as tall as she can, her stern expression returning. <<talk "eve">>You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch! You're a nasty, wasty skunk!<</talk>>\ She pinches her nose like she's smelling something vile. <<talk "eve">>Your heart is full of unwashed socks. our soul is full of gunk. Mr. Grinch!<</talk>>\ Her pause is clearly for dramatic effect, she raises three fingers, counting each one off as she goes. <<talk "eve">>The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote 'Stink, stank, stunk!'<</talk>>\ It's clear from the way she's breathing that she's using this short reprieve to try to catch her breath, only with limited success. <<talk "eve">>You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch! You're the king of sinful sots! Your heart's a dead tomato. Splotched with moldy, purple spots. Mr. Grinch!<</talk>>\ She gasps quickly for breath before the next words come out in a rush. <<talk "eve">>Your soul is an apalling dump-heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable mangled-up in tangled-up knots!<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.karaokeEveInserts>> <<talk "eve">>You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch! With a nauseous super naus! You're a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss. Mr. Grinch! You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!<</talk>>\ She drags out the last word until her voice croaks. She breathes in deeply, her chest heaving. All the while the impish grin lingers on her face. Eve wiggles her eyebrows before giggling. Twirling around, she puts the microphone back down. <<link "Sing Karaoke.">><<gotoevent setup.events.karaokeMansion>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>><</link>> [[Done for now.|$location]]

Listening to the music, you move to the sounds, enjoying the song as it is sung.

You find yourself moving to the music, having fun listening to the song and watching it being sung.

Smiling to yourself, you watch as the song is being sung, knowing that even if it's not being sung as well as the original singer, it's still a very enjoyable experience.

You find yourself absently clapping your hands along to the music, swept up in the moment as the song is being butchered by the would be vocalist holding the microphone.

You meet their eyes, seeing that they are clearly pleased as the song continues.

There's a faint smile on Anna's face as she watches the performance before her. Her expression somehow coming off as both reserved and happy at the same time.

Anna sways gently side to side with the music, a far away look in her eyes as she enjoys the song.

There's a content look on Anna's face. When your eyes momentarily meet hers, you can see her blush faintly and look away, her content look blossoming into a faint smile.

Anna's eyes are half closed, her lips moving along with the song though she isn't singing out loud. It's clear that she's become lost in the moment.

As the song goes on, you notice Anna moving subtly closer to you. When her arm brushes yours she glances at you suddenly. She looks a little surprised to be standing so close to you, but the faint smile on her lips and the way she suddenly looks away suggests that her sudden proximity isn't entirely by accident. You can't help but smile in return, though the gesture is lost on Anna as she's already returned her attention to the performance going on before you.

With a massive grin on her face, you can see Eve bouncing up and down with the music without a care in the world.

You can see Eve's head bouncing from side in time with the music, you can't help but think that half of it is her excitement at the prospect of getting to take her own turn.

Eve clasps her hands in front of herself, watching with a grin as the song is being sung.

Eve sways happily back and forth as she listens to the music being sung.

Eve jumps up and down in place, bouncing in time with the music as she sings along with the song.

Gaia's eyes are narrow as she looks around the room, seemingly overwhelmed by what is happening. Every once in a while, she'll make a grunt or bounce up and down a little bit, trying in her own way to participate in her own way.

Bouncing up and down in time with the music, Gaia makes noises. Her performance reminding you of a monkey in the zoo. Moving toward the karaoke machine, she leans toward the microphone, grunting into it, her noises mixing with the song being sung. Gaia grins as her voice fills the room before being shooed away from the microphone by the other people present.

Eve bounces up and down, jumping in time with the music. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Gaia watching Eve, trying to make sense of what is happening. Then without warning a smile blossoms on Gaia's face and she starts jumping as well, only not in time with the music at all. Gaia's sudden, and enthusiastic contribution to the festivities is enough to drive Eve to giggles as the song continues to play.

It's clear from the energy of the people in the room that everyone present is enjoying the song to one degree or another.

Their eyes slide across the interior of the room for a moment, seeming to take in their surroundings as they continue their song.

They miss a note as they sing, their expression turning self conscious as they try to recover from their mistake and continue the song.

You miss a note as you sing, stumbling over your words. You try to shut out your surroundings, but even so it takes you a few notes before you fully recover from the mistake as you continue to sing.

Enjoying the song you are singing, you sing with your eyes closed, lost in the moment and almost completely unaware of your surroundings.

You feel just a little sheepish as you continue to sing, even though you're in a room with people you care about who are enjoying your performance, you're intimately aware of your own shortcomings as a singer.

You see Eve charging down the hallway toward you, excitement clear in her eyes. Behind her, Anna trails, her expression pinched with concern. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>! Come with me!<</talk>>\ Eve says, sounding every bit as excited as she looks. You look at Anna in the hopes of some explanation, but Anna simply shrugs, clearly as confused by the whole situation as you are. <<talk "eve">>So, I was looking around the attic the other day and I saw something.<</talk>>\ ''Eve begins.'' <<talk "anna">>I've told you to stay out of the attic.<</talk>>\ Anna begins, though Eve keeps talking as if she doesn't even hear her sister. <<talk "eve">>And it got me to thinking. I made sure everything was there, then I brought it to the lounge and set it up. I never remember our last master using it, so I have no idea why it was up there, but I decided that you're nice.<</talk>>\ Eve takes your hand, pulling you toward the lounge. <<talk "eve">>So you wouldn't mind at all, and I wanted to make it a surprise for both of you and I know it's going to be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to try it.<</talk>>\ Eve rambles on almost without pause. <<talk "eve">>And I made sure it worked already, but I was afraid to use it much because I didn't want to ruin the surprise. And I know it's important that we do our chores so we can only use it when our chores are done.<</talk>>\ The last bit is clearly directed at Anna. Entering the lounge, your eyes drift over the interior but don't see anything out of place at a glance. Eve however lets go of your hand and rushes toward the back of the room. It's only then that you notice a large speaker sitting against the wall with what looks like some other equipment tucked in behind it. <<talk "eve">>It took me a little while to figure out what it was, but it's a karaoke machine!<</talk>>\ ''Eve exclaims.'' <<talk "anna">>Eve!<</talk>>\ An alarmed sounding Anna says, clearly unhappy. <<talk "anna">>That is not yours, and you had no permission-<</talk>>\ You reach out, placing a hand lightly on Anna's shoulder. She quiets instantly. <<talk "player">>Eve, where did you find this? You said the attic?<</talk>>\ ''You inquire.'' Seeing Anna's reaction, Eve speaks in a much more subdued tone, finally seeming to realize that this is something she might get in trouble for. <<talk "eve">>It was in the attic, with a bunch of old stuff. I thought it would be ok to bring it out, no one else was using it, so I wanted us to have fun with it.<</talk>>\ You take a deep breath, considering your response before opening your mouth to reply. [[Be angry at Eve.|Karaoke Intro 1a]] [[This is a great idea.|Karaoke Intro 1b]] <<set $karaokeMansion to true>>

<<talk "player">>You know better than this.<</talk>>\ You say, feeling a little heat entering your voice. <<talk "eve">>You have no business going through people's things and helping yourself to them.<</talk>>\ Eve's expression falls just a little more with every word that leaves your mouth, "Sorry," She says meekly. At your side, Anna has composed herself, her expression passive and her composure rigid. You glance at Anna, then back at Eve, feeling some of the anger leaving you. <<talk "player">>Anna, I will leave it up to you to determine a suitable punishment for her not respecting the property of others.<</talk>>\ Anna quickly nods in acceptance, then you turn to Eve. <<talk "eve">>That said, in the future, if you find something like this, ask me about it first before you drag it out like this. There are many things in this house that I don't know about, I don't mind you bringing them to my attention, but you shouldn't be helping yourself to things that do not belong to you.<</talk>>\ Your eyes inevitably turn toward the karaoke machine. With a soft sigh you add. <<talk "player">>But for what it's worth, we can keep the karaoke machine out. It is only to be used when all of your chores are done, and the volume will remain at a level that does not disturb anyone in this house, understood?<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes light up at your final words, a grin spreading on her lips. <<talk "eve">>Thank you! Thank you!<</talk>>\ She bounces up and down in place twice, then launches herself at you, springing from the floor to tackle you in a fierce hug. You stumble back at the impact, barely staying upright. Images from a horror science fiction movie flashes through your mind of a spindly claw like creature launching itself at it's victim to implant a parasite in it's unwilling host. With a chuckle, you put the thought out of your mind. <<talk "player">>Letting you use it right now would just be rewarding what you did, we'll have to try it another time.<</talk>>\ Eve releases you, a pout on her face. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see just a hint of a smile on Anna's face. <<talk "thought">>Seems she approves of how I handled that at least.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Don't we all have other things to attend right now?<</talk>>\ Both Anna and Eve say. <<talk "eve">>Yes sir.<</talk>>\ In near perfect unison before returning to their chores. [[End.|$location]]

<<talk "player">>This could be fun.<</talk>>\ Eve beams happily at your words, but at your side you can see Anna's brow crease slightly. <<talk "eve">>How I see it, it wasn't doing anyone any good in the attic. So long as it doesn't interfere with anyone getting their chores done, and it's not so loud that it disrupts anyone else in the house, I don't see any harm.<</talk>>\ After a measured pause for effect, you continue. <<talk "player">>That said, in the future, if you find something like this, ask me about it first before you drag it out. There are many things in this house that I don't know about, I don't mind you bringing them to my attention, but you shouldn't be helping yourself to things that do not belong to you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>We can keep it?<</talk>>\ Eve asks, as if confirming that she just heard. <<talk "player">>Yes, we can keep it.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes light up at your final words, a grin spreading on her lips. <<talk "eve">>Thank you! Thank you!<</talk>>\ She bounces up and down in place twice, then launches herself at you, springing from the floor to tackle you in a fierce hug. You stumble back at the impact, barely staying upright.

You look at the karaoke machine for a moment, viewing the song options available. <<talk "thought">>I always liked that one.<</talk>>\ You think, selecting ''My Way'' from the list.

You head over to the karaoke machine with Mitsuko, there she goes through the list of songs when suddenly she stops. You see her body shiver for a second. <<talk "player">>Mitsuko?

The song is called Still Here by Digital Daggers

Mitsuko steps back, a look of familiarity as she prepares to sing the selected song. The beat picks up, an electronic tune playing, a moment later it's joined by a fast pace drum.

Working in the lab, the minutes stretch into hours. You find yourself working on a formula related to gender change, something that should be able to give a woman a penis. You can feel yourself getting tired, your eyes drooping. At one point, you aren't even sure if you put too much of one item into the mix or not. <<talk "thought">>I think that was supposed to cause increased arousal. Shouldn't be such a big deal anyway, right?<</talk>>\ It's only when you notice a hair in the mix, a thin hair of a length and color that could only belong to Mully starting to dissolve into the mix that you pause. <<talk "thought">>How the hell did that get in there? If Mully's been in this room, I'm going to have to clean everything, he's contaminated this at the very least already.<</talk>>\ Feeling frustrated, you sit back in your seat and consider throwing the mix out. Right then, movement at the edge of your vision catches your attention. Turning, you see Anna standing in the doorway to the lab, looking at you with curious eyes. [[Throw the sample out.|Lab Fox 1a]] [[Make Anna take the mix.|Lab Fox 1b]] <<addtime { minute : 152}>>

Moving to the sink, you turn the vial over into the drain, turning on the water to flush it down the drain. Seeing Anna still standing there, you say to her. <<talk "player">>Failed experiment, was there something you needed?<</talk>>\ Anna shakes her head. <<talk "anna">>No, was just checking on you.<</talk>>\ She replies. Excusing herself, she slips away while you finish cleaning up. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3}>>

<<talk "thought">>Anna, Drink this.<</talk>>\ You hold up the vial. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 100>>\ ''She glances at the vial, then at you. You can see worry and trust warring behind her eyes for several seconds before she nods and drinks the contents.'' <<elseif $anna.affection gte 600 and $anna.fear lte 350>>\ ''Concern is clear in her eyes as she takes the vial from you. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, then throws back the contents before she has time for second thoughts.'' <<elseif $anna.affection gte 500 or $anna.fear lte 250>>\ ''There's fear in her eyes, but otherwise her expression is unreadable. You see her swallow hard as she takes the vial, then closes her eyes as she rises the vial to her lips. Tilting it back you watch as she swallows, then grimaces at the taste.'' <<else>>\ ''Her expression is carefully composed, her eyes haunted as she takes the offered vial. You can see her tremble faintly as she raises it to her lips and tilts it back. She swallows, then makes a little sound of disapproval before she can stop herself.'' <</if>>\ Then you wait, a serious expression on her face as the seconds tick forward. Then suddenly her expression pinches as her body jerks as if she was struck. You watch with a morbid fascination as she begins to change. Her hands go to her crotch as her eyes widen. You can only assume that with the formula you were using that she's growing a penis. The look in her eyes screams of betrayal as a whine similar to what you've heard Mully make escapes her lips. It's in that moment that you look at her face. Her eyes are changing, becoming large dark orbs even as a sort of light full starts to cover her skin. By the time the change is finished, you can see an erection straining at the front of her skirts, clearly a manifestation of the formula's intent. But the soft fur covering much of her body and the coal black eyes leave you no doubt that the stray hair from Mully also had a significant effect on the formulas effect. In the blink of an eye, Anna is a bundle of nervous energy, clearly frightened but also seeming to exibit much of the energy common to Fennic foxes. <<talk "thought">>I need to do something about this before she either hurts herself or damages something in the lab.<</talk>>\ As if to emphasize your thoughts, she takes several rapid steps without warning for no apparent reason. <<talk "player">>Whoa, easy Anna!<</talk>>\ ''You call, trying to sooth her.'' Her eyes snap toward you, and while you can see recognition in her eyes it is equally clear that something isn't quite right as well. <<talk "thought">>I think she's as much fox right now as she is human, at least in her head.<</talk>>\ Those large black eyes remain fixed on you, never wavering as you start to reach out toward her hand. <<talk "thought">>The formula said that the effects should be temporary. But how long is that?<</talk>>\ [[Keep her calm and wait it out.|Lab Fox 1c]] [[Take her to bed.|Lab Fox 1d]] <<addtime { minute : 6}>><<set $anna.affection -= 20>><<set $anna.fear += 25>><<set $anna.trust -= 25>>

Your fingers close around hers. <<talk "player">>Easy...<</talk>>\ You repeat, hoping to calm her but having no noticeable effect. Over the next few seconds, making no sudden moves, you manage to steer her toward one corner of the lab where there's very little equipment that she can reach. For the next three hours you watch her, her behavior bouncing between skittish, hyper, or turning your back to you while she shakes, . . . . It takes you a while to realize that the latter is so that she can masturbate, jerking the penis she grew from ingesting the serum until she cums all over the corner. Eventually she seems to settle down, curling into a ball on the floor as she watches you. You nearly drift off to sleep before you realize that she's fallen asleep. Looking at her, you notice for the first time that the fur you had seen earlier is now gone. <<talk "thought">>It looks like she's changed back.<</talk>>\ ''You think as you move toward her.'' Carefully, you pick her up in your arms. She shows no sign of waking up. <<talk "thought">>She must be exhausted after all the energy she just burned.<</talk>>\ Then head for the door of the laboratory. You take your time carrying her, taking her to her usual bed and tucking her in before returning to the lab to clean up the mess she left behind. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 188}>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 5>>

Taking her hand, you begin to lead her out of the lab. <<talk "player">>No sense letting this little accident go to waste. Let's go upstairs.<</talk>>\ You say lightly as you start to lead her up the stairs to the master bedroom. From her behavior, it's clear that she's skittish, behaving as much like an animal as a person, though she seems to anchor herself by focusing on you. It's not long before you step into the bedroom, letting go of her hand and moving to the bed before looking back at her again. Anna looks at you somewhat nervously as you lie on the bed wondering what exactly you want of her, deciding to not leave her waiting you make your request “Why don’t you get out of your clothes and come join me in bed” She nods seeming wary for a moment before quickly stripping herself giving you a small bit of a show with practiced motions, before laying her body bare before you, you can’t help but notice the fox/dog cock you gave her sitting proudly on display as she climbs into the bed. Taking a hold of her gently you kiss her on the head while reaching a hand down to play with her dick causing it to throb slightly with each touch and let out a few drops of musky pre along with some soft gasps from it’s owner. You rub Anna’s head comfortingly and scritch her ears while you continue to tease and play with her now fully erect member before whispering in her ear “I want you to mount me” she seems somewhat baffled by your request almost about to release a protest before she thinks better of it. You release Anna’s cock and move on all fours, she hesitantly moves on top of you trying not to use your back for support while her cock grinds up against your buttcheeks dribbling a steady stream of wetness onto them. <<talk "anna">>Don’t worry about putting your weight on me just put a bit in slowly.<</talk>>\ Anna nods and begins grinding her cock along your butthole her pre lubing the entrance before thrusting the tip in, you can’t help but grunt slightly and she seems to recoil slightly before obediently entering you again, she seems to be stalling just waiting for you to order her further and you sigh slightly and ask her to go further. <<talk "player">>Just keep thrusting in don’t worry about me just use me as you like.<</talk>>\ Anna thrusts in slightly but pauses dumbstruck <<talk "player">>Use you, but I you are…<</talk>>\ You cut her off “I want you to use me for your pleasure I order you to” your words are somewhat forceful and you wonder if perhaps you went about it in the wrong way before being pushed forward by a surprisingly forceful thrust. You keep being filled again and again and as you look back you see Anna with an odd look at her face somewhere between resignation and excitement, your walls clinging around her cock is a feeling that seems to be bringing out breeding instincts in her that might have been given as a mental affect to the physical transformation which is currently reaming your insides. With her cock fully hilting in you before each withdrawal you can tell Anna is getting into her role more and more as she pounds you, as you mull over weather you made a mistake in trying to make Anna dominate you her prick begins striking at your G-spot causing you to let out involuntary moans and lose control of your muscles. You feel a tingling on your neck and realise she is licking you slightly you look into her lustful eyes and her eyes widen as she realizes what she is doing but they go back to a lustful haze moments later, as you get pushed forward into the pillow with a few more forceful thrusts you realize you likely couldn't stop her if you wanted to and relax into her embrace her growing knot slipping in and out of you with wet echoes. Suddenly her knots exit is more strained than before and when she hilts you next she is unable to pull out restricted to short thrusts before she hugs you as tightly as she can and lets out a screaming moan and paints your insides white with a sizeable load of her seed. After a moment of hugging tightly to you she regains her senses worry clear in her voice. <<talk "player">>Are you alright im sorry I got carried away I should have..<</talk>>\ You interrupt her. <<talk "anna">>I wanted you to use me and you did wonderfully don’t worry about it Anna.<</talk>>\ She seems partially comforted by your words although she almost seems to expect punishment for her actions. Her cock throbs in you suddenly and you realize her cum is still leaking into you and her knot is still holding you tight, you come to the conclusion it’s likely to hold for most of the night and move onto your side to bring the covers over you, Anna quickly shifts her weight off of you and settles under the covers with you, she seems to still be nervous but settles well enough after a while her arms wrapped around you as she holds you tightly to her while you both drift off to sleep.

Several hours later, you wake and realize that Anna's knot has slipped free some time after you fell asleep. You turn toward her, looking at her in the dark room. It's dark, but not so dark that you can't see the changes. <<talk "thought">>She's changed back to her former self.<</talk>>\ You realize, slipping your arms around her before drifting back to sleep. <<link "Wake">><<gotoevent setup.events.waking>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 132}>>

You find yourself in the lab once again, your only company a half-dozen rodents. The six male rats scurry around, each in their own covered cages. You set the cages on top of the lab table, making sure they are all remain covered to keep the small animals as calm as possible. You hope your testing won't take you through all six of them, of course... <<talk "thought">>But always better safe than sorry.<</talk>>\ You sigh, preparing to get deep into research. You shift around and get comfortable, ready for what hopefully won't amount to nothing more than a long day of fruitless testing. <<talk "thought">>I'll work on this as long as it takes.<</talk>>\ ''You think. You don't want to let Rey down.'' You arrange various flasks of concoctions, liquids, and compounds from the opposite side of the table. You crack your knuckles and get started at boiling, filtering, and mixing the different ingredients into more flasks. Each solution is labeled neat and orderly within the lab, the untold amount of glass containers lining the shelves belying the story of your hard work. The whole process takes about an hour, including several instances where something goes awry and causes you to start from scratch. But with your first batch completed, you can only hope that you are closer to creating the serum for Rey. You pull one of the cages to you. The rat tries to run away from you as you put your hand inside the cage, but after a few seconds you manage to catch the agile creature. With the syringe in one hand and the rat in the other, you inject the rat with the sample, ignoring its frantic chirps. You set it back and wait for results from the newest serum. It doesn't take long for the first signs of the serum to show. You notice that the rat's fur stands on end, puffing out and giving the rat an illusion of larger size. It suddenly drops to its side, twitching in a way that can only be described as agony. You notice that the rat is fully erect despite its apparent pain. As you look closely while taking notes on the results, you discern a rather large puddle of seminal fluid around the rat's erection. However, instead of seeing the erection shrink, it seems to have grown ever so slightly instead. Upon further inspection, it would seem that despite being a male rat, it has now developed mammary glands - or better known as nipples, - whereas a male rat has none. <<talk "thought">>Not what I had hoped. But it could definitely have been worse.<</talk>>\ ''You think to yourself as you set the cage aside and start the process anew.'' With the previous results in mind, you try to isolate the string that caused the rat's erection to grow. Having its male organs disappear or diminish is a much more urgent task. You take your time and tweak the formula slightly. After another hour or so, you have your second batch ready to be tested and repeat the process from earlier. This time, you notice that in addition to an enlarged phallus, the rat's testes also seem to plump up more than usual. What is different from earlier, however, is the lack of any mammary glands. With your notes in hand, you have a relatively decent idea of what went wrong and make the appropriate changes to the formula. You change another part of the formula that you think will remove the erection and hopefully create a female sex organ instead. Working tirelessly at perfecting the serum, you are five hours deep into tweaking the process. All of your results are growing closer by the test. You have seen a rat's erection shrink, only to be accompanied by a surprise twin erection. <<talk "thought">>Good to now, but not what I wanted.<</talk>>\ Another batch ends up finally removing the erection altogether, but left the rat without a functioning reproduction organ. It was the fifth batch that yields the best result so far. Tireless tweaking results in a female rat in all but name, with a pair of stubborn testes impeding your progress. Motivated by the last batch, you start working once more, making sure to double check every minute detail. Another hour passes before the sixth batch is ready. Pulling the last cage to you, you uncover it and grab the last rat to administer the new serum. The rat starts squirming slightly in your hands but goes completely still as soon as you have placed it back in the cage. You start to wonder if something has gone wrong. Just as your fears start taking root, you see something change on the rat. The process appears much slower than earlier tests. The penis shrinks as nipples form on its stomach. When the penis has fully shrunk a small slit takes its place. When the changes are completed, the rat wakes up as if it hadn't just been unconscious. It then proceeds to walk around as if it had always been female. Taking great pleasure in your success, you give a little celebratory shout of @@.a2;Eureka!@@ before you quickly jot down the completed formula before you forget it. Before you call it a night, however, there's just the little matter of getting rid of the rats you used. Instead of thinking about it too much, you decide to have one of the slaves take care of them. Whether they are somehow adopted by someone directly, the pet store gets them, or they are disposed of will be up to whichever slave handles that issue. You just want to take a well deserved hot shower and an equally relaxing night in bed.

<<if $rey.affection gte 600 and $rey.fear lte 350>> Having forgotten to lock the door behind you as you entered, Rey finds you sitting deep in thought on a chair within the Lab. Walking straight up to you, Rey places his right hand on his left arm and starts stroking it up and down in a shy and fidgety way in front of you. He's practically the epitome of a shy and insecure girl about to confess her feelings to the boy she loves. The way Rey rubs his legs back and forth as he shyly looks you in the eyes is proof enough. He quickly looks away as he finally starts talking. <<talk "rey">>U-um... M-master? I was, um, wondering if you could, maybe, use your research to... to m-make me a g-girl?<</talk>>\ Rey clings to your arm as he looks up at you, pleading with his adorable puppy eyes. His expression is full of hope that you would accept his request. If he had breasts, your arm would've been nestled between them, so close to you is he. Looking him straight in the eyes, you can see just how adamant he is about his wish, and how much it would mean for him to get to become a girl both in body and mind. Seeing as his mind is already somewhat girly, all that needs doing is changing his body to fit his identity. Putting a hand on Rey's head and gently stroking it as if petting a cat's head, you hear an almost purring like sound coming from the petite looking boy. <<talk "player">>You honestly do want to become a girl, don't you, Rey?<</talk>>\ ''You say as you tilt his face up to look him right in his eyes. You already know his answer, even before hearing his reply.'' Wrapping his arms around your back in a hug and squeezing tightly, he quickly answers. <<talk "rey">>Yes! Y-yes I do, M-master! I-I've always wanted to be a girl... especially w-when seeing how much you like g-girls, and, and... I've wanted to feel close to you the same way a g-girl would.<</talk>>\ Wrapping your arms around Rey's back and returning the hug, you softly talk against his ear. <<talk "player">>I can tell you want this, Rey. I don't have anything yet that would transform a boy into a girl, but I'll work hard at finding a serum that would work for you, and I'll let you know as soon as I have it.<</talk>>\ Breaking the hug, Rey steps back only a few tiny steps as he still craves that closeness to you, but ultimately he knows that if you are to ever come up with anything, he can't be looking over your shoulders. <<talk "rey">>Thank you, master! I-I'll go back to my chores then so that you can work uninterrupted.<</talk>>\ Leaning towards you again, Rey gives your cheek a quick peck before he turns around and darts out of the Lab once more, leaving you to your work as you can't help but smile at his hopefulness.

The sound of hurried shuffling sounds out from the labratory's cracked door. You blink, nonplussed that you left the lab's door unlocked. You sigh heavily. It's unfortunate that you'll now have to get your hands a bit dirty punishing whatever slave decided to eavesdrop on your work. <<talk "player">>Come out.<</talk>>\ You bark, letting a hint of steel enter your tone. The shadow flinches with shock at the sound of your voice. It's posture slumps before the unknown intruder shuffles into view. You recognize Rey from his figure's almost girly curves. His small hands whiten as they clutch onto a lunchbox as equally feminine as its holder. He voluntarily drops to his knees before you have a chance to order him. @@.a2;Clever@@, you admit to yourself. Still, a punishment is in order. It shouldn't take much to drag out why he's been slinking around like a thief instead of doing his chores. <<talk "player">>Rey. Your punishment is already set in stone.

He knocks his forehead against the floor, evidently hoping a display of sincerity will quell your anger. You heave a sigh, a little nugget of relief infusing your breath. You look down on the grovelling slave, several different ideas flitting through your mind as a suitable punishment. <<talk "thought">>I haven't had a good whipping in a while.<</talk>>\ You muse as your eyes run across Rey's thin body. Try as you might, you can never tear away the notion that Rey is actually a girl. He was born in the wrong body. <<talk "thought">>That's it!<</talk>>\ A flash of brilliance hits you. <<talk "thought">>It's killing two birds with one stone!<</talk>>\ Perhaps the answer to your Uncles' formula would be found with Rey. A smile begins to form as the idea grows ever more attractive in your head. The idea of transforming Rey into a woman has great merit. You get another true cocksleeve for the harem, while the slave gets to taste the sort of pleasure only females can. <<talk "thought">>A win-win situation.<</talk>>\ ''You smirk. Consent? You don't know how to spell it.'' <<talk "player">>Breath of word of what you heard, or what you think you heard... do I need to elaborate?<</talk>>\ You casually threaten the shivering slave.

There's actual work to be done.<</talk>>\ You dismiss Rey, the waif casting multiple uncertain glances back as he leaves. Not being punished for his sins seems to have greatly unsettled him. He takes the lunchbox with him, a detail that endlessly amuses you. <<talk "player">>Don't worry, your punishment will just be a little delayed.<</talk>>\ You whisper to yourself.

This is the second of four scenes in a set. A collaborative effort between Ser Laz and Astra.

You find yourself in the lab once again, this time with six male rats, each in their own covered cages. You set each one of them atop the lab table to the side, making sure they are all covered to keep them calm as possible. You are hoping it won't take you all six of them, of course. <<talk "thought">>but always better safe than sorry.<</talk>>\ Deciding to get to it, you sit down and get comfortable at the table, ready for what hopefully won't amount to being a long day of endless testing with nothing to show. <<talk "thought">>I'll work on this as long as it takes.<</talk>>\ ''You think, as you don't want to let Rey down.'' You grab various concoctions, liquids, and flasks from the opposite side of the table from the cages, then get started at boiling, filtering, and mixing the different ingredients into the flasks. The whole process takes about an hour, several times doing something wrong, and having to start over again. But with your first batch completed, you can only hope that you are closer to creating the serum for Rey. You pull one of the cages to you, the rat tries to run away from you as you put your hand inside the cage, but after a few seconds, you have managed to catch it. With the syringe in one hand and the rat in the other, you inject the rat with the sample and set it down, waiting for the results from the serum. It doesn't take long for the first signs of the serum to show, as you start to notice that the rat's fur stands on end.

This time, you notice that the rat's erection not only grows as earlier but, it's testes also seem to plump up a bit more than usual. What is different from earlier, however, is the lack of the mammary glands popping up.

Then change another part of the formula that you think will remove the erection, and create a female sex organ instead. Working tirelessly at perfecting the serum, you are five hours into the process having gotten different results all being close, but yet so far. You've seen a rat's erection shrink, only to be accompanied by a twin erection beside the first. <<talk "thought">>Good to know, but definitely not what I wanted.<</talk>>\ Another batch ended up finally removing the erection altogether but left it without a functioning reproduction organ. It was the fifth batch; however, that yielded the best result so far, giving you a female rat in all but the remaining testes. Motivated by the last batch, you start working tirelessly once more, making sure to go over every detail twice. Some even three times, just to be sure nothing is wrong, and after another hour, you have the sixth batch completed. Pulling the last cage to you, you uncover it and grab the sixth rat to administer the new serum to it. The rat starts squirming slightly in your hands but goes completely still as soon as you have placed it back in the cage. You start to wonder if something has gone wrong if you had somehow messed up somewhere, even though you made sure to double and triple-check everything. Just as your fears start taking root, you see something change on the rat, it is much slower than earlier tests. The penis shrinks at the same time as nipples form on its stomach, and when the penis has fully shrunk, a small slit takes its place. When the changes are completed, the rat wakes up as if it hadn't just been unconscious, then walks around as if it had always been female. Taking great pleasure in your success, you give a little celebratory shout of @@.a2;Eureka!@@ before you quickly write down the completed formula for the serum before you forget it.

After more than an hour's work, you eye the syringe in your grip, wondering if it is finally time to put your plan into action. <<talk "thought">>It's been a long time coming.<</talk>>\ You muse as you lightly bounce the syringe in your hand. Everything else has been painstakingly set-up: from the standing cross that gleams from a recent oiling to the newly swept floor. Each and every tool shines with purpose on the walls, all available with but a thought from you. The restraints hang loose from the cross, but you hope that won't be the case for long. <<talk "thought">>Now, who will it be?<</talk>>\ You cusp your chin in thought.

<<if $rey.affection gte 600 and $rey.fear lte 350>>\ Rey stumbles into the dungeon, his slight form shuddering when he catches sight of your impatient posture. <<talk "rey">>M-Master!<</talk>>\ ''He whimpers, his light voice thick with tension.'' <<talk "player">>Come here.<</talk>>\ You demand as you shoot him a frosty stare. He scrambles to you from his tentative position by the door, afraid to come close but more terrified of the consequences should he disobey. <<talk "thought">>What a good slave.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself as you let a smirk form. <<talk "thought">>Wow, onto business.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Strip.<</talk>>\ Your smirk grows into a devious smile as the fear morphs into sheer panic within his big eyes. His long lashes flutter above pursed lips, stress and nervousness draining all the color from his face. A limp hand hesitates at the front of his uniform, before something in him caves and he begins to unbutton his shirt. Rey doesn't dare to disobey you anymore. You'd long since drained the fight from the effeminate waif. It takes less than five minutes for Rey to strip down to his underwear. You gawk at the slender lines of his body, marveling at how deliciously feminine Rey is. His long, slender legs and plump ass would have you believe him a girl if it weren't for the small bulge in his panties. His lithe navel elicits a constant allure, while his thin chest sports a pair of small, perky nipples. His creamy skin soon reddens as you rake your eyes over his figure, Rey completely helpless to your invasive gaze. As girly as Rey looks, however, there will always be the slightest hints of his true gender, no matter how you try to dress it up in your head. Rey IS a boy... but you'll be changing that today, whether he wants it or not. A master doesn't need consent from a slave. <<talk "thought">>It's just that simple.<</talk>>\ ''You affirm to yourself.'' <<talk "rey">>D-do I h-have to t-take off...<</talk>>\ Rey's words trailed off, the girly youth evidently too afraid to fully voice his thoughts. You're about to force him into nudity when a sly thought strikes you. <<talk "thought">>Perfect.<</talk>>\ You almost have the urge to laugh, but manage to hold it in with a will of steel. <<talk "player">>No,You ''do'' have to get up on that cross. I want to run a few... tests.<</talk>>\ You say, taking Rey by surprise. <<talk "rey">>Um, w-why-<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You think I need a reason? I'll drag you upstairs and fuck you right in the dining room, toys included, if you doubt my sincerity. I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. Get on the cross.<</talk>>\ Your words are just a simple threat, yet Rey flinches and scrambles to the cross like it was some sort of holy altar. <<talk "thought">>Perhaps he thinks obedience will keep him safe? Naive.<</talk>>\ You snort as you stalk to Rey's shivering form. <<talk "player">>Hold still.<</talk>>\ You command. You grip one of his arms, stunned for a brief second at his limb's slimness. You shake your head and firmly press his arm into one of the crosses' restraints. You lock it into place with the leather cuffs, tugging a few times to test the equipment's strength. <<talk "thought">>Good enough.<</talk>>\ Rey's silent throughout the whole ordeal, only a few involuntary tremors betraying his true sense of fear. You repeat the process three more times until Rey is locked tight in place, clad in nothing but his panties. <<talk "thought">>Time to bring in a special pair of friends.<</talk>>\ You think with no small amount of glee. You rummage around in the nearby cabinet, soon pulling out a large pair of silver scissors. You have no idea if they are actually made from precious metals, but they are sharp enough to intimidate helpless prey. Rey's limpid gaze widens in shock as you come close with the scissors in tow. You bring the long pair of scissors close to his leg, letting the dull outside edges run against Rey's skin. An actual whimper escapes him, his whole body jerking as instincts drive him to escape. Unfortunately, he's still tied to the cross and all too vulnerable for whatever plans you have for him. <<talk "thought">>Oh, do I have plans.<</talk>>\ ''You gloat inwardly.'' Rey starts to hyperventilate as the scissors draw near to his privates. You make sure to draw the outline of his genitalia from over his panties, affirming the worth such a thing has on Rey: none. Today you'll be adding another woman to your harem. The sound of a snip pierces the room's heavy silence. Rey's eyes squeeze shut, the waif too terrified to confirm or deny a man's greatest fear. <<talk "player">>Relax.<</talk>>\ You chuckle as you toss the cut panties to the side. <<talk "player">>I won't be chopping anything of yours off, Rey. You're a valuable slave.<</talk>>\ Rey's sigh of relief would be audible from behind a closed door. You grin as his stiff body loses all tension. You didn't say anything about injections, though. Your grin grows wider as you take advantage of his momentary relief and loss of sight. The syringe weighs heavy in your hand, the needle shining with a particular purpose. A purpose you spent a lot of time and effort for. You have no hesitance as you plunge the needle into the base of Rey's shriveled penis. You inject its contents and withdraw in one smooth motion, Rey frozen from the sudden pain. <<talk "thought">>The penis is one big blood vessel, right? The drug will spread faster this way.<</talk>>\ ''It takes little effort for you to come up with an excuse.'' A few seconds pass before Rey's brain catches up to what you've done. <<talk "rey">>NOO!<</talk>>\ Rey screams and thrashes against his bonds. Big tears roll from his reddened eyes, an absolute feeling of loss conveyed to you from his contorted face. <<talk "rey">>I DON'T WANT THIS! I DON'T! I DON'T!!<</talk>>\ Rey cries out loudly in between his heart-broken sobs. You come close and stand before the frantic man, your bearing entirely unruffled by a slave's temper tantrum. <<talk "rey">>W-Why?<</talk>>\ Rey's crying hitches strangely, an unexpected edge of pleasure mixing into his voice. <<talk "rey">>WHY? W-What is t-this? M-My body-uh, um, uhhhm w-what is this?!<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>Hm, maybe I shouldn't have injected him there...<</talk>>\ You observe Rey's reactions without a single shred of regret. He starts to twist, his legs coming together to try and rub against his growing erection. No matter how he struggles the cross locks his limbs apart, leaving the girly waif to twist and shake in search for stimulation. His small erection turns bright red, as though dyed by the syringe's mysterious contents. His nipples harden comically, looking like fresh pink flower-buds begging to be picked. Rey starts to hump the air, grinding his ass against the solid wood to pleasure himself. <<talk "rey">>UHM I'M GOING TO CUM!<</talk>>\ Rey announces to the world with a cute yell, too absorbed with lust to understand his changing body. His erection throbs powerfully, yet nothing comes out. Rey's doll face is left slack with release, his plump lips forming a perfect 'O' of orgasm. <<talk "rey">>I... c-can't... p-please...<</talk>>\ Rey mumbles through a mouthful of drool. His button nose is flared from arousal, while his empty eyes roam listlessly across the room. His hips jerk sporadically under the drug's influence, evidently experiencing multiple orgasms in quick succession. You're tempted to be jealous of such a feat, but the cost simply isn't worth the payout. The first true signs of unnatural change begin with Rey's chest. The flat expanse starts to swell, as though Rey had been stung by a bee and was experiencing an allergic reaction. <<talk "thought">>Well, I suppose my needle could count as a stinger.<</talk>>\ A small tongue lulls out of his mouth, his rolled up eyes completing the picture of a perfect ahego. Strands of drool dribble down his neck to mix with the fragrant sweat on his skin. He exudes such sex appeal you find it hard to keep your hands away from such a sensual display. Rey's shuddering kicks up a notch as the swelling turns from implied and into visible. Over the next ten minutes you watch as Rey shakes with countless orgasms, his creamy chest slowly expanding into a size you could comfortably clasp with a hand. It isn't until the swelling has completely ceased do you remember the whole point of this process to begin with. You hurriedly cast your gaze downwards. You blink, mystified. His balls have already vanished while you were preoccupied with his burgeoning breasts. His erection seems to face the same danger: it still throbs with constant need, but already has shrunk to a third of its original size. The head is indistinguishable from the shaft, and the angry red has faded into a more fleshy pink. You pay careful attention to Rey's transformation, mentally noting down the process for future cases. The remnants of his genitalia continue to shrink until the mass repositions itself above Rey's featureless mound. The shrinking process halts, leaving the remaining flesh around the size of a man's thumb. You kneel in front of Rey, hoping to catch a unique glimpse into the formation of his new genitals. The mound gradually blooms out like a flower greeting the sun's rise, leaving you mute with shock as you witness the oddly enthralling process. It was like his new organs had been waiting beneath his skin all along. The drug had merely prompted them to show themselves. The new flesh appears delicate, possessing countless pink folds protected by large lips of silky skin. The thumb-sized remnants of his male genitalia slots itself above the entrance to his countless folds, as though enticed to become a gatekeeper. You pause as astonishment hits you all at once. <<talk "thought">>This... isn't this a vagina?<</talk>>\ It was lacking detail for sure, but all the basics were there. You've been inside enough of them to tell by now. You ignore Rey's overall state, preferring to focus your attention on drug's last drastic effects. Once the basics are formed, the flesh itself morphs into countless intricate designs, step by step. It was like watching a 3D printer create an anatomically correct sculpture of a woman's vagina. A half-hour passed before you finally confirmed the drug's effects had come to an end. You scan Rey's body, impressed with the overall changes. While Rey hadn't needed much modification, being a feminine man to begin with... now any trace of masculinity is wiped from his body's outline. Rey's occasional hard edge is polished to a feminine curve. His body lines flow smoothly from one to the next, his skin shimmering with health. <<talk "thought">>He-... No, she.<</talk>>\ You remind yourself, thrilled beyond belief at the drug's success. She positively stole your breath away. From her supple curves to her plump pussy and large clit, you wanted to taste it all. Even her current state of unconsciousness was barely enough to faze you. You come to your senses in a brief moment of lucidity. While you had no issue with taking advantage of unwilling participants... did you really want your first time with a new Rey to be while she was unconscious? It should be a moment worth remembering for the both of you... whether that moment was one of terror or one of pleasure mattered not as long as it satisfied. Rey's long lashes begin to flutter as you contemplate your next move. Use Rey as you see fit (To be written) [[Hold yourself back.|Rey First Transformation 1c]] ''A collaborative effort between Astra and Ser Laz'' <<set $rey.affection -= 100>><<set $rey.fear += 200>> <<elseif $rey.affection gte 300 and $rey.fear lte 700>>\ There is currently no "Middle Relationship" version of this scene.

[[End.|$location]] <<else>> With the serum ready for use, you see no reason to prolong Rey's potential transformation any further than you already have. You summon Rey to the Dungeon and sit back, waiting patiently. It isn't long before you hear Rey's frantic footsteps taking the stairs two at a time, the excited waif practically skidding across the floor to you. <<talk "rey">>You c-called me, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ Rey gladly takes the seat opposite as you motion for him to sit down. <<talk "player">>Yes, I did. I have good news and bad news, Rey. Which would you rather hear first?<</talk>>\ You tell him, looking him straight in the eyes. Rey frowns, finally answering after a moment's hesitation. <<talk "rey">>Um, the b-bad news.<</talk>>\ Instead of offering the poor boy any comforting words, you tell him the hard truth. <<talk "player">>The bad news is that I have no idea the exact effects are or how strong they will turn out.<</talk>>\ Rey blanches. You give him some comfort, leaning forward a little and cupping his cheek with your palm. You give him a small peck on the lips before moving onto the good news. Rey's frown smoothens out, replaced by a rich blush. <<talk "thought">>That's the Rey I know.<</talk>>\ You smirk inwardly. <<talk "player">>The good news, however, is that regardless of the effects, the serum will turn you into the girl you've always wanted to become.<</talk>>\ You haven't managed to complete your sentence before Rey is already squealing in joy at the news. Rey's earlier concern is all but forgotten in the wake of his long held dream finally coming true. <<talk "player">>Before we do anything, Rey, I want to be certain. You do want this, right? The serum is largely untested. I'm not sure if I can reverse the change after the fact.<</talk>>\ You shoot him a stern glare, muting his joyous demeanor. <<talk "player">>Do you understand?<</talk>>\ <<talk "rey">>Yes, I know. I still want to go through the process, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. I haven't been surer of anything than I am of this! P-Please, turn me into a girl.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Wonderful. I'm looking forward to this as much as you are, Rey. I want you to be the person you've always dream of.<</talk>>\ Rey's big eyes widen at your words before they start to moisten. <<talk "rey">>Um, thank you!<</talk>>\ Rey exclaims as he hurriedly wipes at his eyes. He glances up from under his bangs, whispering. <<talk "rey">>I l-love you. You do so much for me. I love you!<</talk>>\ You pat his head, answering his declaration with action. You kiss him deeply, relishing in the waif's soft lips. Rey's tongue peeks out, seeking to tangle itself with yours. You oblige the eager boy and let the kiss linger for a few minutes. When you finally pull apart, Rey's fervent gaze is hazed over with lust. <<talk "player">>I love you too... Now, why don't you get yourself up on that cross? I don't want you to hurt yourself during the serum's effects.<</talk>>\ Rey nods, stepping towards the dungeon's BDSM equipment. He's about to lock one of his hands up when you call for him. <<talk "player">>Clothes off, Rey. I need to observe the process.<</talk>>\ Rey twists under your appreciative gaze, but eventually strips himself off. His dainty hands linger by his panties, the small bulge growing larger from your undivided attention. <<talk "rey">>T-This too?<</talk>>\ Rey asks, his lilt stuttering with shame. <<talk "player">>That too.<</talk>>\ You affirm, a small grin creeping across your face. Rey's hands pick at the edges of his panties, his slender legs rubbing together with restless energy. A hot sigh escapes the trap before he gathers enough courage to slide his girly panties down. His small erection is shamefully hard, bobbing to-and-fro as he tries to cover it with his hands. You interrupt his fruitless endeavors, saying. <<talk "player">>Time to get on that cross.<</talk>>\ Rey swallows and backs up into the cross, spread-eagled as he waits for you to lock him in. All of Rey's feminine figure is laid out for your inspection. His thin, yet shapely hips; his long, slender legs; his smooth and tender navel; his heaving chest dotted by two ripe nipples; his delicate shoulders and neck; and finally, his pouting, elegant face. All of it combines into something you'd be loathe to give up, no matter the cost. You lock him into place on the cross, all the while running a heated gaze across Rey's body. <<talk "thought">>His attractiveness is going to double with this serum.<</talk>>\ You muse as you finish the preparations. The syringe weighs heavily in your hand, the gravity of the situation overtaking you for a moment. All those hours spent in research, spent testing on rats, and spent agonizing to yourself over questions of morality. All of it was spent for this moment. The needle glints with singular purpose, while Rey's eyes squeeze shut, his form completely relaxed in your presence. A single injection will change Rey forever. You pause, marking the occasion in your head. You'll be a true successor to your Uncle. You desperately hope your mind doesn't grow as twisted. You bring the needle down, gently inserting the point into Rey's white thigh. Rey whimpers a little at the pain, but a loving 'Shh,' from you settles the flighty waif. He refuses to open his eyes as you inject the syringe's contents. You withdraw the syringe seconds later, tossing it aside. You lean forward to scrutinize Rey's nude body, anticipation and anxiety rolling around inside you. <<talk "thought">>It has to work, it has to!<</talk>>\ You think, hoping for the best. Rey cracks his eyes, whispering. <<talk "rey">>D-Did it work?<</talk>>\ You hum thoughtfully. <<talk "player">>Not yet. I wonder if-<</talk>>\ <<talk "rey">>Oh, oh, OH! I'm, um, I'm feeling funny!<</talk>>\ Rey cries out. He starts to twist, his legs coming together to try and rub against his stiff erection. No matter how he struggles the cross locks his limbs apart, leaving the girly waif to twist and shake in search for stimulation. His rod grows a tender red, as though dyed by the syringe's mysterious contents. His nipples harden comically, looking like fresh pink flower-buds begging to be picked. Rey grinds against the cross, his misty eyes begging you for help. <<talk "rey">>Please! <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>! I want to cum!<</talk>>\ Rey whines, his creamy skin flushing under the drug's effect. You feel bad leaving him alone, but you aren't sure if helping him would bring outside variables into the equations. You're about to harden your heart when Rey cries out in ecstasy, thin hips jerking while his diminishing erection throbs. Nothing comes out, and yet Rey squeals and moans like he's experiencing multiple orgasms. <<talk "rey">>PLEASE! I'M CUMMING!<</talk>>\ Rey's cute roar is almost bestial from desperation. You take pity on the lust-crazed trap and extend a hand, running it across his neck in the way you know he enjoys. His eyes roll up to reveal their whites as he redoubles his jerking against the cross. Curious, you extend a finger towards Rey's face. He mindlessly lunges forward to catch it, his lithe tongue rolling your digit within its slimy embrace. You shudder as Rey bobs his head, completely lost in the sensations wracking his body. Rey's doll face is left slack with release, his plump lips forming a perfect 'O' of orgasm around your finger. You cast your eyes down to see the first signal of change. Rey's chest starts to swell, as though he had been stung by a bee and was experiencing an allergic reaction. A small tongue lulls out of Rey's mouth, his rolled up eyes completing the picture of a perfect ahego. Strands of drool dribble down his neck to mix with the fragrant sweat on his skin. He exudes such sex appeal you can't help but raise another hand to caress his burgeoning chest,. The flesh is feverishly hot, belying the imperceptible changes altering Rey on a fundamental level. He shudders at your touch, deep into his nth orgasm. Rey's shuddering kicks up a notch as the swelling turns from implied and into visible. Over the next ten minutes you watch as Rey shakes with countless orgasms, his creamy chest slowly expanding into a size you can comfortably clasp in your hand. The marvelous feeling of his chest expanding under your hand enthralls you. It isn't until the swelling has completely ceased do you remember the whole point of this process to begin with. You glance downwards, eager to witness Rey's changing form. You blink, mystified. His balls had already vanished while you were preoccupied with his expanding breasts. His erection seems to face the same danger: it still throbs with constant need, but has shrunk to a third of its original size. The head is indistinguishable from the shaft, and the angry red has faded into a more fleshy pink.

The mound gradually blooms out like a flower greeting the sun's rise, leaving you mute with shock as you witness the oddly captivating process. It was like his new organs had been hiding beneath his skin all along, waiting for the slightest of prompts to blossom into full glory. Your drug is the catalyst for Rey's breathtaking change. The new flesh appears delicate, possessing countless pink folds protected by large lips of silky skin. The thumb-sized remnants of his male genitalia slots itself above the entrance to his countless folds, as though enticed to become a gatekeeper. You pause as astonishment hits you all at once. <<talk "thought">>This... isn't this a vagina?<</talk>>\ It was lacking detail for sure, but all the basics were there. You've been inside enough of them to tell by now. You stare, enchanted with this new organ's formation.

Rey's occasional hard edge is polished to a feminine curve. His body lines flow smoothly from one to the next, his skin shimmering with health. You stare at Rey's quivering body, blinking at the amount of love nectar dripping from her plump pussy. Her clit is overly large, and throbs, hungry for someone to stimulate it. Her curves suck in your gaze, sending you into a brief trance as your own erection presses painfully against your clothes. You come to your senses in a brief moment of lucidity. Did you really want your first time with a new Rey to be while she was unconscious? It should be a moment worth remembering for the both of you. You don't want to take advantage of an almost delirious Rey. Rey's long lashes begin to flutter. In a breathy voice that sends shivers down your spine, she moans. <<talk "rey">><<print $rey.callsPlayer>>... please, right there! ...your naughty puppy...<</talk>>\ [[Use her.|Rey First Transformation 1d]] [[Hold yourself back.|Rey First Transformation 1e]] ''A collaborative effort between Astra and Ser Laz'' <<set $rey.affection += 300>><<set $rey.fear -= 350>><<set $rey.trust += 400>> <</if>>\ <<addtime { minute : 45 }>> <<set $reyTransformable to 4>> <<set $rey.chest to setup.Character.Chest.A>> /* (enum) None, AA, A, B, C, D, DD, E */ <<set $rey.gender to setup.Character.Gender.Female>> /* (enum) Male, Female, Herm */ <<set $rey.penis to "">> /* NOTE: An empty string is correct. */ <<set $rey.vagina to "tight">> <<set $rey.hasFlag("virgin")>>

You shake your head, deciding to shelve the syringe for use on another day. You have to get everything right. The state of your potential patients has to be just as immaculate as your preparations are. Otherwise it'll all be for naught. You resume your day, potential paths for future success ringing loud in your head. [[End.|$location]] ''A collaborative effort between Astra and Ser Laz'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You dearly want to devour the tender piece of meat laying helpless before you. Rey looks absolutely stunning, and only her absence of mind prevents you from tasting her virgin body. You want her to gaze up at you in despair as you take her for the first time... not unconscious and tied to a cross. While not overly religious, you figure it'd be safer to blaspheme in the comfort of your bedroom. You untie Rey and set her on the floor. You call Anna and give her instructions for Rey's care. Ignoring Anna's gasp of wonder, you resume your day, mind buzzing on the highs of victory. [[End.|$location]] ''A collaborative effort between Astra and Ser Laz'' <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>

You can't hold back when she's begging you with all her might. You shed your clothes and move forward until you're mere inches away from Rey. Her body arches, trying its damnedest to be near you. You have to reward such a display of dedication. You run your hands up and down Rey's supple curves, delighting in the firm and womanly flesh resisting your touch. If there had been any doubt about the efficacy of the serum's work, it was all laid to rest with your physical examination. Trails of goosebumps follow each of your hands as you knead and caress her. You pinch her stiff nipples, rolling the hardened nubs across your palm. Not quite satisfied, you lean forward and capture the pink buds in your mouth. Rey almost screams from the sensation, thrusting her chest towards you while her mouth babbles a constant stream of nonsense. You lick and suck at her small breasts, sometimes treating her roughly the way you know Rey loves, while at other times you tease and tantalize her skin like she was the world's most delectable dessert. After ten solid minutes trying out her new body, you get the feeling Rey won't take no for an answer anymore. Her half-lidded gaze fixates itself on your throbbing erection, while her neglected lower half pistons uselessly in the air for your touch. You're tempted to take her against the cross, but something about her thrashing limbs and heaving chest persuades you otherwise. You want to take Rey's first time nice and slow, body rubbing against body. You untie her feet, trailing kisses along her upper thigh in the process. Her lower half is a veritable flood, love-nectar glimmering within her aroused folds. You refuse to touch it, building anticipation and pleasure in every spot except the one yearning for your touch the most. You unclasp her hands, bracing yourself to catch the delirious girl. A second passes. You look up in astonishment at the predatory gleam in Rey's gaze. Her long lashes flutter, something in her clicking when she notices your cock. She barrels into you, wrapping herself around you like a drugged out koala. You fall backwards, bruising yourself on the dungeon's tiled floor. You barely take note of the pain, your brain wholly occupied with moaning mess squirming around in your arms. Her warm body presses against your own as she starts to pant, hot breaths washing down your neck. Rey groans into your neck, licking and sucking every inch she can find. <<talk "rey">>Um, I need you.<</talk>>\ She sighs as she positions herself over your cock. You're left looking up at Rey's slender curves, the excited girl rubbing herself insistently against you. She reaches down and presses your cock against the inflamed flesh of her vagina. You both share a sigh as she rubs the head of your penis into her slick folds. She tries to sit down, groaning in pain when you prove too large to fit inside her newly formed genitals. <<talk "rey">>It, will, fit!<</talk>>\ She grunts, determined to fill herself up with your length. You decide to hold your silence and the lusty waif do as she please. She twists in place, trying to fit your cock inside her like she was a screwdriver and you the lucky screw. The feeling of almost entering velvet paradise only to be cruelly exposed to the dungeon's cool air drives you wild. Unable to take anymore, you grip her thin hips and pull down just as Rey finishes a gasp of frustration. You groan in half-agony from the sheer amount of pleasure coursing through you. You feel your length sink into Rey's unexplored depths an inch at a time. Stiff edges give way to a soft and inviting center, her entire tunnel melting around your cock. You open her forcefully, spearing strongly into folds never yet parted. An unexpected amount of blood drips from your joining, but you are too far gone to think rationally about what that might mean. <<talk "rey">>D-Does it feel good?<</talk>>\ Rey sobs, the pain making her entire figure blush an alluring pink. <<talk "mc" "Yes. The best.<</talk>>\ You grunt as your hips jerk in spite of your best efforts. You want to go wild within Rey. <<talk "rey" "Please. M-Mess me up!">>\ Rey whispers as she buries her head into your shoulder. Her assertive behavior from earlier is nowhere to be found, the pain having drained the fog of lust from her. Nonetheless, she starts to shake her hips in an entreaty to please you. She bites her lips, almost breaking skin from the pain. You pause, realizing this state can't continue. Rey's first time would be ruined. <<talk "player">>Rey.<</talk>>\ You state gravely. She squirms on top of you, head still buried in your shoulder. <<talk "player">>Rey!<</talk>>\ You are the most loveable person I've had the pleasure of meeting. I loved you before this, and I will love you after this. Rey. You are my most precious puppy." You grab her chin, forcing her to meet your stare. Her eyes slowly lose focus as your words bounce around in her head. She must have been waiting a long time to hear something like that. The pain seems to fade away, some of the drugs earlier efficacy rushing back to fill the torment's void. Her brows smooth and her lower half relaxes, giving you smoother access to her divine honey pot. You restart your thrusts, almost moaning when you notice the difference. Rey cries out and twines her limbs around you, allowing you to thrust up into her with abandon. Rey tangles her tongue with yours as she shakes her ass in tandem, breaking away to yell. <<talk "rey">>Um, this, this, uh, UH, UHM!<</talk>>\ Her pussy squeezes snugly around your cock, instinctive pulses attempting to coax a load from your heavy balls. She throws her head back in ecstasy, face scrunching tight together in a mixture of pain and pleasure she clearly finds intoxicating. One of your hands rise to firmly grip her breasts, while the other latches onto her neck. You can feel Rey's deep purrs of bliss rumble through her throat as she orgasms on top of you. You don't know how for how long she crests on multiple waves of bliss. You and Rey lock together perfectly, bodies entwined as she squirms and moans on top. You turn her over on her back as you begin your own race to orgasm. She can do nothing but mewl weakly under your assault, completely dominated by your larger frame. Her pussy contracts weakly around your pistoning cock, ecstasy causing the flesh to stick wet and tight as it rubs against your length. Everything about Rey sucks you back into her slick depths. Despite her pain and exhaustion and unfamiliar body she soldiers on, shaking her hips and forcing your hands to encircle her slim throat. Tears slip free from her eyes, but a silly smile adorns her face as she arches her back, pillowing her small breasts against your chest. Sweat slicks both your bodies as the pressure builds in your loins. The pleasure leadens your balls, your shaft trembling within Rey's silken tunnel as you do your best to prolong your shared bliss. You're sent over the edge when Rey moans. <<talk "rey">>Cum inside, <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. I want to feel you cum inside my p-pussy. Please!

You dearly want to inseminate the girl lost in countless throes of passion before you. Rey looks absolutely stunning, and only her absence of mind prevents you from tasting her virgin body. You want her to gaze up at you with love during her first time... not almost unconscious and tied to a cross. You untie Rey and set her on the floor, arranging her limbs into some semblance of comfort. You call Anna and give her instructions for Rey's care. Ignoring Anna's gasp of wonder, you resume your day, mind buzzing on the highs of victory. [[End.|$location]]

You lunge forward with a grunt, balls tightening as Rey's hesitant dirty talk pushes you over the edge. Rey coos within your arms, her slender limbs tightening around you as she begs to be filled up. You oblige the horny girl as you orgasm. Your dick throbs within Rey's tender folds, ecstasy tinging every sense white-hot as you fill up Rey's virgin pussy with your seed. She whimpers as your load fills up her every nook and cranny. Her vagina continues to rhythmically contract, instincts driving her body to coax every drop of semen from your loins. <<talk "rey">>Uhm.<</talk>>\ Rey sighs with joy. <<talk "rey">>All inside. My v-vagina is tingling with joy. I feel so full.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Mm.<</talk>>\ You grunt in agreement. <<talk "rey">>I w-wonder if this will get me pregnant?<</talk>>\ Rey whispers hopefully as you pull out, your cock coated in pink froth. She flinches a little at the pain, but ignores it to cast you a pointed glance. <<talk "thought">>Pregnant, huh? I would like this...<</talk>>\ The future looms in the distance, terrifying you as much as it thrills you. <<talk "player">>If you really want it...<</talk>>\ You say, nonplussed. Most girls are terribly frightened whenever the scary P word is mentioned. <<talk "rey">>Y-Yes! I want to be creampied. I want to be pregnant.

For now, however, you call Anna in to help Rey adjust to her new body. Anna gasps, sharing a muted smile with Rey after the shock wears off. Rey shoos you as they begin their girl talk.

You pull out of Rey's tight pussy, your cock coated in pink froth. You lean forward and thrust your hips across Rey's lithe navel. You dick throbs, pleasure tinging every sense white-hot as you cum on Rey's stomach and breasts, dirtying her pure skin with your cum. She looks on with a mixture of wonder and disappointment. One of her dainty hands reaches down to stroke your still-pulsing erection, while the other idly rubs your semen deeper into her skin. <<talk "rey">>Um, I wanted it inside.<</talk>>\ She whispers, her button nose scrunched with mild displeasure. You blink. You thought it was just something she said in the heat of the moment, not an actual desire. <<talk "player">>If you really want it...<</talk>>\ You say, nonplussed. Most girls are terribly frightened when the topic of pregnancy comes up, especially before solid commitment from the other party. <<talk "rey">>Y-Yes! I want to be creampied. I want to be pregnant.

Your eyes shift from the book in your hands to the rest of the room around you. <<talk "thought">>No time like the present if I want to learn how to use this equipment, assuming I want to learn it?<</talk>>\ Sitting the notebook down, you start to look around the lab. When you find a drawer full of operating manuals. <<talk "thought">>This is going to be a serious investment of time if I'm serious about this.<</talk>>\ You think, sitting everything on the counter. Your eyes flicker from the notebook to the pile of manuals. <<talk "thought">>If I learn how to use the equipment, I can probably use the notebook as a sort of cookbook if I can figure out what everything mean.<</talk>>\ Your gaze shifts to a shelf full of biology and chemistry books. <<talk "thought">>And if I decide if I like working in here, I can try to learn more to expand what I can do.<</talk>>\ Resolving yourself, you move a chair to where the notebook and manuals are gathered and start to read. Nearly two hours later, you lean back from where you have been hunched over the manual you've been reading.

[[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 116 }>><<set $player.alchemy += 2>>

Sitting down at the counter, you open up the manual to where you left off last time, slimming the page quickly to make sure that you're at the right place, then you begin to read. As you read, you occasionally stop to walk over to the piece of equipment you are reading about to double check something before returning to your reading. For just a little over two hours you do this, memorizing everything you can until you feel your focus starting to slip. Only then do you finally put the instructions back down and push away from the counter as you get up. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 123 }>><<set $player.alchemy += 2>>

Picking up the instruction manual you had been reading last time, you move toward the piece of equipment it is for and start reviewing the controls. The next two hours are filled with you alternating between reading and poking at the machine to make sure you understand what you're reading. Letting out a heavy sigh and stretching, you put the manual down and resign yourself to taking a break. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 120 }>><<set $player.alchemy += 2>>

You sit down with your Great Uncle's lab journal and begin to review the notes within. As you read, you open other books and pause to look at various pieces of equipment, piecing together what you're reading with how the process would actually play out if you had all the ingredients needed. Stifling a yawn, you look at the clock and see that you've been at it for two hours already. <<talk "thought">>I should take a break.<</talk>>\ You think, sitting the lab journal down.

Taking one of the instruction manuals in hand, you open it and start reading. A few pages in, you stand up and make your way to a small piece of equipment, then using the manual as a guide you through how it works. You end up loosing track of time, and when you finally think to look at the clock you notice that nearly two hours has already passed. You raise your eyebrows, then realize you should probably take a break before sitting the manual back where you had got it from. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 115 }>><<set $player.alchemy += 2>>

You look at the instruction manuals for a moment, then reach for one of the bookshelf holding an assortment of chemistry and biology books. Reading the book is a big change from the instruction manuals you usually read when in the lab. <<talk "thought">>I can barely understand this stuff. Not that the information in the instruction manuals comes that much easier.<</talk>>\ Quite some time later, you close the book, not feeling as if you have learned much. You sigh... <<talk "thought">>My Great Uncle was clearly brilliant, I thought I was smart, and I can barely understand half of this stuff.<</talk>>\ Putting the book back on the shelf where you had got it from, you step away from the counter.

With an instruction manual in hand, you begin to pace about the laboratory while you read. After a while, you draw to a stop beside a large cylindrical piece of equipment that you don't remember seeing an instruction manual for. You look it over, not seeing anything that might indicate what it is. <<talk "thought">>I wonder what it's supposed to do?<</talk>>\ Moving to the pile of items you left on the counter, you thumb through the instruction manuals before coming to the conclusion that you were right in your first assessment that there isn't anything about the large cylinder anywhere in the pile. <<talk "thought">>And why is there nothing about it in either the instructions or in his lab journal?<</talk>>\ You return to the manual in your hands, but your thoughts continue to stray back to the unidentified device until you finally give up and put the instruction manual back down.

Picking up the last instruction manual you had been reading, you begin to read. You continue to read for quite some time before something out of the corner of your eye catches your attention. Turning toward the source, you see Anna standing in the doorway of the laboratory, a troubled expression on her face. However, before you can say anything, you lose sight of her as she continues about whatever business brought her there in the first place. For a second you consider calling out to her, to ask if she needed anything, but instead you turn your attention to the manual in front of you and continue your study. Quite a while later, you rub your eyes, leaning back from the counter as you finish the chapter you had been reading. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 113 }>><<set $player.alchemy += 2>>

You pause as you reach the section on breasts. After all the time you've spent studying in your uncle's lab, you feel you understand enough to attempt one of the recipes yourself. Deciding on the breast enhancer, you set to work. You start by gathering the required ingredients, double and triple checking both type and amount as you go. Once you're absolutely sure you have everything just right, you begin the process of mixing them. Following the instructions, you carefully add a few ingredients, heat the concoction, add some more... Finally, you reach the last stage of production. You place the concoction into one of the more ominous-looking machines, adjust the settings and switch it on. It emits a soft whirring noise that rises in pitch, eventually sounding like a washing machine on helium. With your part of the process complete, you realise much more time has passed than you'd thought. Your eyes are aching from tiredness and, as you rub them, you decide you should take a short walk around the lab to keep yourself from nodding off. As you meander around the lab, tidying away the things you no longer need, you once more wonder how your great uncle gathered his knowledge. But then, given his proclivities, perhaps it's better not to ask. The machine's 'ding' startles you out of your thoughts. The serum is finished. Extracting the glass vial, your hand shakes slightly as you look down at your creation. Now you have this breast enhancer, what do you intend to do with it? [[Take the serum myself.|Submitted Self Breast Enhancement Scene 1a]] [[This was an interesting experiment, but it ends here. Throw out the serum.|$location]] Submitted by The Exile <<addtime { minute : 52}>>

Though not entirely sure of your own reasoning, you decide to be your own test subject. As you raise the vial to your lips, your hand starts to shake even more. Is it nerves or excitement? The thought leaves your head as soon as the thick liquid touches your tongue. It takes a few attempts, but you swallow the viscous serum. While it finally goes down, you try and work out how it tastes. Salty, you suppose, but with a distinct aniseed kick. You wait with bated breath, but feel nothing. No warmth spreading from your stomach, no tingling. All you feel is... itchy? Yes, your nipples are definitely itchy. Absently scratching one, you suddenly wince and pull your hand away. That hurt. A lot. The pain seems to linger, then spread to your other nipple. Wait. Spread? You look down at your aching, itching chest. It should come as no surprise that it's not as flat as you're used to, yet you somehow didn't actually expect this to happen. Removing your shirt, you find yourself looking at a pair of small but undeniable breasts. Your breath catches in your throat as you raise your hand to one. It fits into the palm of your hand comfortably, with your now prominent nipple resting in the centre of your hand. Letting your finger trail across your engorged nipple as you pull your hand away, you suck in a breath as the increased sensitivity prompts a sympathetic response from downstairs. You play with the nipple for a little while, learning what feels good and what's too much. Your other hand gives your other, neglected breast attention without any conscious thought. You're lost in an aroused daze, basking in new sensation... When you come back to reality, you realise you have an erection straining to be released. Before you can process that, though, your new boobs itch once more and slowly shrink before your very eyes. An odd sense of relief washes over you. Whatever your feelings about having breasts, there's no doubting it would be awkward explaining them to the other occupants of the mansion. And yet... At any rate, the experiment has now ended. How you feel about the experience and whether you want to repeat it is something you might think about later, but for now you wait for your erection to subside before continuing on with your day.

At the sight, you grin slightly. <<talk "misaki">> "Maybe later, but right now I have something else planned for you."<</talk>>\ Misaki's brow creases momentarily, but she says nothing as you crawl onto the bed beside her.

Instinctively, she flinches back from the unexpected touch, but just as quickly you see her smile, her face returning to press her cheek into the palm of your hand. <<talk "player">>I want you to do something for me.<</talk>>\ You say lightly, the smile tugging at your lips audible in your voice.

With practiced ease and a complete lack of modesty, Misaki begins to strip, not even attempting to be sensual as she quickly disrobes, leaving her clothing in a small pile beside the bed. Turning, she reaches out with both hands, seeking the bed. She finds the corner first, then follows it up to the main portion of the bed, she crawls up onto it. She wiggles her ass at you suggestively, the moisture of her pussy visible as she leans forward far enough to expose her pussy. <<talk "misaki">>Does Master want me like this?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>On your back.<</talk>>\ A thoughtful expression crosses Misaki's face before she does as you ask.

Your fingers trail from her shoulder to her wrist. At the delicate touch, you can see goosebumps rising on Misaki's skin, following your caress. When you reach her wrist, you use both hands to hold her arm, your thumbs resting against the sensitive place that her wrist connects to her hand. You start with a gentle caress, your touch becoming firmer as you work your way slowly toward her elbow. Caresses become broader rubs, kneading her flesh as you move up past the elbow toward her shoulder. With every new touch, you can hear Misaki's breath quickening just a little more. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

For a second, you simply allow your fingertips to play across her skin, lightly tickling her. It's not until you reach her shoulder that you reverse course and begin to apply pressure. With both hands, you start to rub her arm, one hand applying pressure as it slides toward her elbow, then releasing as the other starts to follow the same path. You repeat the process a dozen times, then move to the lower part of her arm to do the same, each time you reach the end of your path to start again. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

You place both hands on Misaki's belly, fingers pointed upward. Sliding your hands up, your fingers slide to the side where they follow her ribs around to her side. Then firmly pressing inward, you pull your hands down, half pulling, half caressing her belly as your palms slide downward. When you meet the point just above her pelvic mound, you slide your hands to the side again, then follow the same path up as the path you took down her belly until your fingertips meet just below her ribs once more and you slide your hands back down to where you began. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

You can't resist the urge to squeeze Misaki's bottom. She makes a little squeal of delight, followed by a soft giggle as you use your hands to shake her bottom, making the twin globes of flesh jiggle. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Unable to resist the urge, you position your hands like you're going to karate chop her. Then with a little smirk you do exactly that. With two hands, you rain down rapid, but gentle blows on her bottom. As you watch your own handy work, you see her bottom jiggle with every blow. Her mouth must be open just a little bit because every new blow brings another little <<talk "misaki">>Uh, uh, uh, uh...<</talk>>\ From her mouth. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Misaki lets out a little gasp of pleasure as you cup her breasts, first allowing your hands to glide over their perfect shape, then squeezing them so that the plush globes seem to swell around your fingers. Her breath catches in her throat, and her features are etched with excitement. Over and over again, you repeat the process, a gentle caress followed by a somewhat rough squeeze. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

A soft moan escapes Misaki's lips as your hand slides over her breast, gently squeezing the firm globe before tweaking the nipple. You repeat the process with the other breast, then using both hands squeeze both breasts together until the nipples nearly touch. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

One of your hands moves to cup Misaki at the knee, lifting her leg while you place the other hand under her calve, giving it a gentle squeeze before sliding it down toward her ankle while maintaining the gentle squeeze. As your hand reaches her ankle, the one under her knee begins to make the descent toward her ankle as well, gently squeezing the whole way only to trade hands again when you reach the ankle. For several minutes, you move one hand after the other, massaging her calve. Then you move to the other to start again. A few minutes later, you lay her leg back down on the bed. When you glance up, you can see a content look on Misaki's face. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

With one hand holding her ankle, you use your other hand to gently massage her calve, gently squeezing then loosening your grip rhythmically as you slowly work your way along the length of her calve, then you reverse direction and continue. Up and down the length of her calve twice, then you move to the other side to repeat it all on the other side. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Holding her foot in both hands, you place both thumbs against the sole and massage it in small circular motions. Starting from the middle of her foot, you work your way back and forth while paying particular attention to the ball of her foot. As you rub her foot, you hear Misaki make a cooing sound, her toes flexing and spreading as you hit a particularly tense spot. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Using your thumbs, you rub at the ball of her foot. From toes, to arch, then back again. Every rub seems to bring forth another small sound of contentment from Misaki. After repeating the act several times, you move to the arch of her foot where you work your way from the ball of her foot to her heel. Each time you cross the arch of her foot, it flexes and she squirms, clearly just a little ticklish to your touch. When you make it to her heel, you do not linger long, instead working your way up to her ankle where you start near the tendon, gently working the muscles there before starting to work your way around her ankle toward the front of her foot. As you reach the front of her foot, she rolls her ankle once in your grip. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

You rub her heel, cupping it then turning your hand while applying pressure, your free hand holding her ankle so her foot doesn't turn. After doing this several times you start to make your way toward her toes, lingering along the arch before continuing onward. When you reach the toes, you start with her little toe, paying particular attention to the spaces between her toes. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Turning Misaki's hand so the palm is facing up, you lightly stroke her palm with your fingertips. You feel her tense, instinctively tugging her hand away as the tickling sensation. Raising her palm, you kiss the center of her palm, then begin again, this time using the heel of your hand to knead her palm in a circular motion. A minute later, you turn her hand back over and using your thumbs, gently massage the back of her hand using small circular motions. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Cradling her hand in both of yours, you let your thumbs brush lightly over the back of her hand. You start with her wrist, moving one hand to hold her wrist, then using the other to roll her hand in a circle, slowly, applying slight pressure to stretch the muscles. After several rotations of the wrist, you move toward her fingers, stopping when you reach the web between the thumb and forefinger where you use your thumb and forefinger to gently massage the tissue before moving across the hand, stopping between each finger to roll the tissue between your thumb and forefinger for a few seconds before moving to the next. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Placing your hands on her shoulders, you use your thumbs to follow the vertebrae up her neck, rubbing to each side of the bones up toward the base of the skull, then bringing them back down to right between the shoulder blades. Misaki makes an appreciative sound as she enjoys the treatment. After a little while, you change tactics, using your fingertips to rub in small circular motions where the jaw meets the skull. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Your fingertips stray toward her throat as you bring your wrists together at her spine. Careful not to choke her, you begin to rub your hands up and down, rubbing the muscles along the side and back of her neck. Whenever your palms near her shoulders, you pause long enough for your thumbs to rub behind her ears for a second before starting upward again. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Misaki squirms, a smile teasing her lips as she spreads her legs a little wider. Meanwhile, you allow your fingers to trail along her slit, parting her labia like the petals of a flower but never probing deeper. As you watch, Misaki bucks her hips, lifting them to meet your finger in an attempt to coax you into penetrating her, but each time you just smile to yourself and lift your hand, maintaining contact but refusing to allow her the penetration she seeks. With every passing minute, she becomes wetter, her soft moans coming out as whimpers of need. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Sliding your fingers along Misaki's wet folds, your finger becomes slick in her fluids. Dipping one finger deeper, a deep throaty moan escapes her lips. When she bucks her hips, you allow her to thrust upward, your finger sliding all the way inside of her while your thumb comes to rest on her clit. Her body shudders in pleasure, an expression of bliss crossing her features. You only have to crook your finger to find her g-spot, rubbing it gently as your thumb presses more firmly against her clit. Misaki lets out a shuddering moan, her hips moving as she tries to fuck herself against your intruding finger. But instead of allowing her to do so, you place your free hand on her belly, just below her bellybutton. She strains against your hand, but between the position and her small form, you have little trouble holding her in place Slowly and rhythmically, you rub at the sensitive place inside of her, every motion seeming to coax more feminine juices from her depth until she cries out, both of her hands grasping at your wrist as her hips buck and wiggle against your finger. As she gets her breathing back under control, her grip on your wrist loosens. You take the opportunity and slip your finger from her depths, admiring the glistening strand of her juices that connect the two of you until it finally breaks. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Trailing your fingers along Misaki's slit, you watch her facial expression, the excitement, the anticipation, and the pleasure, all warring for prominence on her features. You dip the tip of your finger inside of her opening, only up to the first knuckle, then quickly withdraws it as her hips thrust upward. Again, you dip your finger inside, not quite as deep as the first time. This time when she thrusts her hips upward, you aren't quite quick enough and she manages to get nearly half of your length inside of her before withdrawing. Within a minute, you're no longer massaging her, instead you're making it a game to see if you can penetrate her to the first knuckle and withdraw before she can impale herself your invading finger. She moans, she pants, she thrusts her hips, and she leaks so much fluid from her needy hole that you have little doubt she's creating a puddle beneath herself. One second to the next, you thrust your finger as deep as it will go, your thumb brushing her clit as you do so. Not expecting the penetration, Misaki thrusts upward, grinding her hips against your hand. Her body shudders and thrashes as a powerful orgasm overwhelms her senses. For the next minute, it's everything you can do to hold her still while keeping your finger inside of her. At the end, she simply quivers on the bed, her hips occasionally jerking as she experiences aftershocks from her unexpected release. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Gently, you use your fingers to spread her labia, exposing her clitoris and the opening of her vagina. Instinctively, she parts her legs slightly, though you are unsure if it's due to some instinctive need or an intentional desire to accommodate your attentions. You nestle your fingers between the folds of her pussy, spreading her labia to the sides around your fingers, but mostly your attention is on her clit. With small circular motions, you rub her love button, causing it to harden and swell, teasing it out from beneath it's hood only to rub and tease it some more. With your eyes fixed on her pussy, her body tenses, her hips trembling slightly as a wave of intense pleasure washes through her. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Running your fingers through her hair, you comb her hair back for a few seconds, then start to work your fingers deeper. Misaki makes a sound, not quite pleasure, more like curiosity, as you work your fingers to her scalp. You half massage, half scratch her scalp from hairline to the back of her neck, then return your hands to the front of her hairline only to follow a different path across her scalp toward the back. Half a dozen times you repeat this before using your fingers like a comb again, smoothing her hair back in place again. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Using your fingertips, you pull your fingers together to compress her scalp, then spread them out to stretch it. In and out, slowly, each time you spread your fingers, you manage to move your hands a fraction of an inch as you move to massage every inch of her scalp. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Misaki sighs happily as your hands touch her shoulders, her face turning to nuzzle happily at one wrist. Your hands stray lightly from her neck to the outer edge of her shoulder, then back again before you squeeze gently. Compress and relax, you do this several times before moving your hand slightly, working hard to loosen up the muscles of her shoulders. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Placing both hands on one shoulder, you gently squeeze one hand while relaxing the other. Each time one hand tightens, the other releases. Occasionally, you'll hear a soft moan, or a gentle groan as you work her shoulder, but that's the only indication she gives of her approval. After a couple of minutes, you move to the other shoulder, both hands coming to rest on her shoulder in the same way they had the other. You gently squeeze with one hand, then release as the other tightens. She lets out a moan, slightly louder than the ones that came before, but quickly settles into the same labored breathing, punctuated by little sounds. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Your hands stray across Misaki's thighs, the gentlest of touches is enough to cause her to spread her legs invitingly, but that's not what you hope to accomplish right now. Instead you use both hands, encircling her thigh and kneading her muscles. You glance upward, seeing the place her parted thighs meet. Even from here you can see how wet she is. Squeezing playfully, you work your hands upward, her breath quickening with anticipation with every inch you travel. Your fingertips reach the dampness between her thighs, but then you quickly reverse direction. Misaki makes a little whimpering sound, but offers no protest as you travel toward her knee. When you reach her knee, you move your hands to her other thigh, this time traveling upward quicker than before. Her breath comes so quickly that it sounds as if she is panting by the time you feel the dampness of her inner thigh again, but just like the first time, you quickly reverse course and with agonizing slowness work your way downward once more. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

Fingertips stray lightly across her thigh, causing goosebumps to break out across her skin. After a moment, your hands reach her hips and you begin to rub her thighs, first working downward, enjoying the feel of her silky smooth skin against your hands, then upward along the inside of her thighs. A small tremor goes through her, accompanied by a soft sigh as your hands near her moist pussy. When your hands drift away, she makes a sound that might be disappointment. <<if $massage is "front">><<link "Have her lay on her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionFront>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her belly.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBelly>><</link>> <<link "Massage her breasts.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBreasts>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her pussy.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassagePussy>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<elseif $massage is "back">><<link "Have her lay on her front.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageTransitionBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her arms.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageArms>><</link>> <<link "Massage her back.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBack>><</link>> <<link "Massage her bottom.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageBottom>><</link>> <<link "Massage her calves.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageCalves>><</link>> <<link "Massage her feet.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageFeet>><</link>> <<link "Massage her hands.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageHands>><</link>> <<link "Massage her neck.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageNeck>><</link>> <<link "Massage her scalp.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageScalp>><</link>> <<link "Massage her shoulders.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageShoulders>><</link>> <<link "Massage her thighs.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageThighs>><</link>> <<link "Finish Massaging Misaki.">><<gotoevent setup.events.misakiMassageEnd>><</link>> <<else>>If you see this message, please report it.

<<talk "player">>I think we're done for now.<</talk>>\ You tell Misaki, your fingers trailing lightly across her side as you speak. Her sigh is clearly disappointed, but her words sound authentically grateful. <<talk "misaki">>Thank you, I enjoyed that!<</talk>>\ She somehow manages to sit up, half rolling as she does so, making such a simple act seem incredibly sexy. <<talk "misaki">>I've never had a master who pampered me like this.<</talk>>\ A sad sort of smile forms on her lips, then she reaches out with one hand to find you. As soon as her fingers find your chest, she leans forward, slipping her arms around you in a gentle hug. You instinctively return it, holding her naked form against you for a few seconds before letting her go. Slipping off of the bed, you pick up her clothes and hand them to her. <<talk "player">>Here, your clothes.<</talk>>\ ''You tell her.'' Her smile touches her eyes, then she begins to get dressed, somehow making the act of putting on clothes every bit as enticing as a stripper would make taking them off.

You allow your hands to linger on her body for a few moments longer before speaking. <<talk "player">>I think that's enough for a little while.<</talk>>\ Misaki turns her head toward you, a little pout forming on her lips in an attempt to express her disappointment. She shivers visibly, her pout turning to a smile as you allow your fingers to play lightly across her side. Then the frown returns when you break contact once more. Slipping off the bed, Misaki seems to sense that you really are done and begins to sit up. Her brow furrows slightly, her hands reaching out as she searches for the edge of the bed. As soon as she finds the edge of the bed, she seems to orient herself and scoots to the bed's side. By the time she is sitting on the bed's side, you've already picked up her clothes. You clear your throat to let her know where you are, then move the bundle of clothes to her hand. She quickly takes her clothes, her hands seeming to feel the fabric as she turns the bundle about in her hands. Finding the collar of her outfit, it doesn't take her long to orient the clothes and start to dress herself.

<<talk "player">>How was that?<</talk>>\ You ask, stifling a yawn. Misaki makes a small sound, but you can't make out what exactly it is. <<talk "player">>What?<</talk>>\ You ask softly, leaning in close in the hopes of hearing her answer better this time. The sound she makes is unmistakable, a soft snore. <<talk "thought">>She fell asleep.<</talk>>\ You think, feeling a sense of amusement. <<talk "thought">>Not sure if I should take that as an insult or a compliment.<</talk>>\ For a few seconds, you just look at her, her breathing deep and her naked body enticing. <<talk "misaki">>Let her sleep."<</talk>>\ Your mind tells you, though you feel a momentary urge to take advantage of her instead. With a little smile, you force yourself to stand up, then pull a blanket over her while she sleeps before stepping away.

Upon entering the dining room you look around. On the side table sits a beautiful large glazed ham, various assortment of sides and sauces accompany it. You turn your attention to the table, around the table stand your fellow housemates. They smile contently as you enter. As Anna moves to pull your chair out for you, Sidra prepares to place a folded napkin on your lap. As you sit down you can't help but get a good view down Sidra's blouse. Her lovely small breasts causing you to get aroused. You wonder if Sidra noticed the tent forming in your pants as she laid the napkin down. Once seated the others follow suit. Eve barely can sit still, staring at the glazed ham her mouth almost watering. Barely has everyone sat down, she jumps out of her seat only to have Sidra grabs her arm and pulls her back down. Looking at Eve you see her pouting whilst Sidra giggling whispers something into her ear whilst looking over at Anna. Anna seems uneasy, not quite sure how to react. She seems grateful for Sidra stopping Eve but unsure as to what the young girl has whispered to her sister. For a moment your worried the meal is going to turn into a disaster but soon enough everyone is watching you waiting for you to begin. The rest of meal goes smoothly but in silence with only the occasional small talk between you and Anna. Finishing your meal you thank everyone for the meal and leave them to clean up.

As you enter the room you hear the occasional clinking of cutlery being placed on the table but not in the usual careful way. You look in the room racing around the table are Sidra and Eve. The seem to have been set the task of setting the table. Looking at the girls you see determination in each of their eyes. Watching for a moment you realise they are racing each other. Playfully unaware of your presence they continue racing around giggling as they go. Their dresses being blown up giving you a clear view of their panties. Your lost in the moment when you hear a stern cough, looking towards the kitchen you see Anna standing in the doorway with a tray of meats and bread. Catching the two young girls attention they immediately stop and finally notice you standing in the doorway. Both girls give you a cheeky grin and curtesy hurrying over to help Anna with the rest of the meal. You smile, laughing to yourself. <<talk "thought">>I didn't realise I was getting dinner and a show.<</talk>> The rest of the meal continues uneventfully.

As you reach the dining room you run into Anna waiting outside the door. You give her a puzzled look as you greet her. <<talk "anna">>Sidra and Eve wanted to prepare the meal and dining room for us. <</talk>> As she says this you hear a crash from in the dining room. Anna nervously looks back towards the door. Moments later the door opens. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the change in light. The dining rooms lights are dimmed low and sitting in the centre of the is a candelabra flicking light over a beautifully set table each setting with it's own uniquely folded napkin. The two young girls stand patiently at the other end of the table smiling triumphantly. <<talk "sidra">>If you could please take your seats. It's Eve and my pleasure to serve you.<</talk>> As you sit Eve happily skips around placing the folded napkins on everyone's laps. Sidra wheels in the dining trolley from the kitchen. The smell of hot potato and leek soup, freshly baked dinner rolls and garlic butter hits your nose. Instantly making your mouth water in anticipation. The young girls dutifully dish up the soup placing a piping hot roll on the side plates and putting a butter dish with the garlic butter in front of you. You can't wait much longer the aroma is just so intoxicating. <<talk "player">>Girls this looks amazing, I can not wait a minute longer. Please sit and lets enjoy this lovely meal.<</talk>> With that the girls serve themselves and join the rest of you at the table. The meal is quiet, not due to awkwardness nor fear but simply because everyone is engrossed in their meal that no one has a chance to speak. Finishing your soup you take a look at Anna and without a word you both shyly lift your bowls to your mouths licking up every last drop of the soup from them. When you both put down your bowls, you look over at the the two young girls with their mouths open in shock at what they've just seen. <<talk "player">>What? It was just too good we didn't want to waste any.<</talk>> With that you stand up and bow to the two girls. Thanking them for a perfect meal you make your exit in case they try and rope you into helping clean up.

As you start to eat your own meal, you half watch those around you. With a big grin, Eve begins to pile food onto her plate. You can't help but notice that the pancakes on her plate are almost completely buried under a mountain of strawberries. Anna subtly tries to restrain her sister, though if there's any effect you don't see it. Her helplessness in this situation is almost comical to watch. Still half watching the pair, you turn your attention to the plate in front of you, a pair of pancakes with an assortment of barries and cream adorning them, is enough to make you salivate. <<includeevent setup.events.pancakesBreakfastCoreInserts>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>> <<addtime { minute : 45 }>>

As you begin to eat your own meal, you subtly watch the others. Eve's usual excitement is replaced by a pout, her eyes lingering hungrily on the food she's supposed to be serving. Anna in contrast seems to pick at her food, chewing slowly while looking awkward. It's clear that she doesn't like the fact that she's eating while her sister is being denied the pancakes she clearly desires. Pouring a little more syrup on your own half eaten pancakes, you see Eve's eyes shift to your plade, her pink tongue flickering out to wet her lips. <<includeevent setup.events.pancakesBreakfastCoreInserts>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>> <<addtime { minute : 45 }>>

As you start to eat, you glance over at Eve. She sits at her place, eyes flickering between her food and her sister standing to the side to serve. Looking just a little embarrassed, she pointedly ignores her sister while she starts to devour her food, slowly at first, though with every bite her enthusasm grows. Nearby, Anna stands at the ready, her expression stoic. If she's bothered by the fact that her sister has a place at the table and she does not, then she shows no sign of it. Pulling your attention away from the sisters, you focus your full attention on the food before you. <<includeevent setup.events.pancakesBreakfastCoreInserts>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>> <<addtime { minute : 45 }>>

Anna and Eve both stand ready as you start to eat your meal. Anna seems to instinctively know what you need just a moment before you know you need it, and following her sister's lead, Eve helps when and where she is able. <<includeevent setup.events.pancakesBreakfastCoreInserts>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>> <<addtime { minute : 45 }>>

Not wanting to interrupt, you pick up your napkin, lightly wipe your mouth, then getting up from the table.

As you enter the room you hear the occasional clinking of cutlery being placed on the table but not in the usual careful way. You look in the room racing around the table are Sidra and Eve. The seem to have been set the task of setting the table. Looking at the girls you see determination in each of their eyes. Watching for a moment you realise they are racing each other. Playfully unaware of your presence they continue racing around giggling as they go. Their dresses being blown up giving you a clear view of their panties. Your lost in the moment when you hear a stern cough, looking towards the kitchen you see Anna standing in the doorway with a tray of meats and pastries. Catching the two young girls attention they immediately stop and finally notice you standing in the doorway. Both girls give you a cheeky grin and curtesy hurrying over to help Anna with the rest of the meal. You smile, laughing to yourself. <<talk "thought">>I didn't realise I was getting breakfast and a show.<</talk>> As the two girls finish setting the table, everyone begins to move to their places around the table. <<link "Enjoy your meal.">><<gotoevent setup.events.mansionBreakfastContinue>><</link>> Submitted by hospoguy76 <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<else>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

As you eat your breakfast, you hear Anna hiss something under her breath. Glancing in their direction, you see Eve trying to stuff far too big a bite of food into her mouth while Anna desperately tries to stop her without making a spectical of the whole scene.

She freezes for a second, then slowly sinks back into her chair from the particularly long reach she was in the middle of.

As you eat your breakfast, you hear Anna hiss something under her breath. Glancing in their direction, you see Eve trying to sneak a treat from the table while Anna desperately tries to stop her without making a spectical of the whole scene. Unfortunately for Anna's efforts, Eve's will is stronger than any ire from her sister. <<if $misaki.hasFlag("owned")>>The amused expression on Misaki's face suggests that even though she can't see everything that is happening between the two, she's still taking pleasure in the battle of wills playing out nearby. <</if>><<if $mitsuko.hasFlag("owned")>>Mitsuko looks ready to step in and help Anna. Her lips part, but then her eyes dart to you and she bites her lip before simply glaring in Eve's direction. <</if>><<if $rey.hasFlag("owned")>>Rey's grin can not be contained, a giggle spilling from $rey.his lips before $rey.he can raise a hand to prevent it. <</if>><<if $sidra.hasFlag("owned")>>Looking like she wants to distance herself from the events at the table, Sidra's eyes seem to stray everywhere but toward Eve's antics. <</if>><<if $yami.hasFlag("contact")>>Clearly not caring about anything but the food in front of her, Yami devours her breakfast like she doesn't expect another chance to eat for a week. She's finished her first plate long before anyone else, and is eagerly piling another round of food on her plate when she finally notices the awkwardness around the table. She freezes for a second, then slowly sinks back into her chair from the particularly long reach she was in the middle of. A second later, Yami shrugs to herself and begins to eat again, choosing to ignore everyone else in favor of the food on her plate. <</if>><<if $makiVisit>>Maki's expression is one of mild amusement, and the mischief in her eyes makes you wonder if she is somehow playing a part in all of this. All the while, Bubbles stoically eats her food, leaving some of the largest pieces of strawberry on the corner of her plate. As she finishes her meal, she leans toward Eve, angling her plate so that the strawberries are with Eve's easy reach. Upon seeing the new pieces of strawberry, Eve smiles even bigger than before. <</if>>Eventually, Eve's attention returns to tending the table, and while you're almost done by the time she starts to do her job, she does work hard for the remainder of the meal. Somehow managing to look both embarassed and relieved at Eve's finally taking mealtime seriously, Anna turns her attention back to serving the table, her unhappy gaze falling occasionally on Eve as she does so. <<link "End your meal.">><<gotoevent setup.events.mansionBreakfastEnd>><</link>>

At the table, you see a massive stack of pancakes stacked on a plate near one end of the table. Around it is a tub of butter, an assortment of syrups, several bowls filled with different kinds of berry, and what looks like a large bowl of whipped cream. There are three places at the one end of the table, one spot is clearly your own, at the head of the table. The other two are both on the same side. The girls are both in the room, but neither are sitting yet. Instead, they are both looking at you as if waiting for permission to take their seats. Suppressing your amusement, you gesture toward their seats. Anna gives a tiny bow, then walks toward the table in a reserved manner. Eve in contrast grins and springs into motion, nearly running to the table. The chair slides across the floor loudly as she pulls it out before quickly sitting down. She almost bounces in her seat with excitement, that excitement diminishing only slightly at Anna's stern look. Anna in contrast waits to sit until after you have taken your own seat. The girls allow you to dish up your own meal before they do their own. Anna begins her meal in a reserved manner while Eve attacks her plate with the enthusiasm of the child she resembles. Meanwhile, you eat your own meal, half watching the girls as you do so. A short while later, you've finished your meal, Anna having timed her own meal so that she is taking her final bite just a moment before you do. <<talk "anna">>Is there anything more we can get you?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>No, thank you.<</talk>>\ Without a further word, the girls both get up, getting to work as they start to gather the dishes. Not wanting to interrupt the girls' work, you pick up your napkin, lightly wiping your mouth, then getting up from the table. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

Looking at the table, you see a large covered platter between the three place settings. Two pitchers and several small bowls are arrayed around it. By the time you reach the table, Anna is lifting the lid off of the platter to reveal an assortment of sausages, bacon, eggs and hash browns. Anna begins to place food on your plate as Eve pours you something to drink. Once your plate is filled with food, only then do they dish up food on their own plates. Eve starts to eat her meal, starting with a sausage. Out of the corner of your eye, you see her raise the phallus shaped meat to her mouth and part her lips. Anna must see something in your expression because she quickly turns towards her sister. After a split second, she says, "Eve! Eat like a lady!" In response, Eve pouts, then lowers the sausage to her plate before cutting a piece off of it. Anna looks at you out of the corner of her eye, then returns to her meal. The moment Anna's attention is no longer on Eve, she quickly stabs her sausage again and thrusts the entire thing in her mouth. The sudden movement drawing Anna's attention. Eve tries to give an innocent expression, which proves difficult with her mouth full of sausage. With an exasperated sigh, Anna returns to her meal. Through the rest of the meal, Eve eats in a more reserved manner than usual, but its easy to tell that Anna is keeping a close eye on her, and you're pretty sure Anna kicks her under the table at least once. When the meal nears completion, Anna excuses herself from the table then turns to you. <<talk "anna">>Is there anything else I can get you?<</talk>>\ Finishing the bite of food in your mouth first, you reply. <<talk "player">>No thank you.<</talk>>\ Not wanting to get in the way, you finish the last couple of bites of food before making your exit. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

There is a spread of food across the table when you enter the room. A large ham acts as the centerpiece. Mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh peas with diced onions, and corn bread are neatly arrayed around it. Anna stands near the wall, looking like she's prepared to serve the meal in spite of your having asked the two to eat meals with you. One of her hands rests on Eve's shoulder as the smaller sister looks ready to rush to the table. When you move toward the table, Eve breaks free of her sister's grip and walks, almost runs, to the table. She only pauses long enough for you to take your seat before slipping into her own. You can see Anna sigh, but there's a little smile on her face as she looks at her sister. Once both of you are seated, she moves to join you at the table. At the table, instead of taking her seat, Anna begins to serve the meal, dishing up your plate first, her sisters second, then only once everyone else has been served does she put food on her own plate. While you eat your meal in relative silence, you watch the girls out of the corner of your eye. Eve devours her food, making a sandwich with her ham and corn bread while her sister looks at her disapprovingly. Anna has not quite finished her meal by the time you have finished. Eve shoves her last bite of mashed potatoes and gravy into her mouth as you chew the last of your own meal, half of her peas and onions still on her plate as she pushes her plate away from herself. When you start to get up from your place at the table, both of the girls get up as well. Anna begins to clean up the table, gathering the food while Eve collects the used dishes. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

A large oval platter rests on the same end of the table as the three place settings. On it is a large fish, a salmon sprinkled in spices and drizzled in butter. Several lemon wedges rest along the edge of the platter. A small number of other items are arrayed around the centerpiece of the meal. Already at the place settings are small bowls with salads. Reaching your seat, Anna pulls it out for you so you can sit before dishing food onto your plate. Once done, she takes her own seat and serves food first to her sister, then to herself before starting to eat. Anna eats her meal at a measured pace, half watching you as she paces herself to finish her meal at about the same time as you finish. <<talk "thought">>Kind of a strange habit, especially since she didn't share meals with my Great Uncle.<</talk>>\ Eve seems to be enjoying her food even if she doesn't eat with a lot of enthusiasm. About half way through the meal, you notice Eve taking one of the lemon wedges from the large platter. She raises it to her lips and sucks at it like an orange wedge. Her face puckers before she sits it on the edge of her plate. You can see just a hint of an amused smile on Anna's lips before she can suppress it. The rest of the meal proceeds without further incident. Once you have finished eating, you excuse yourself from the table and make your exit from the room so that the girls can finish their meals and clean the dining hall.<<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

There is a spread of food across the table when you enter the room. A large ham acts as the centerpiece. Mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh peas with diced onions, and corn bread are neatly arrayed around it. Anna stands near the wall with Eve. Both girls' gaze are downcast as you make your way toward the table. When you near the table, both girls move, Anna preparing to dish food up onto your plate while Eve pours your drink. As you eat your meal, you can see the girls watching you. Anna's gaze appears vigilant, prepared to serve you if you need anything. Eve however looks at the table, her eyes hungry as she looks at all of the food laid out before you. The food is good, good enough that you find yourself savoring every bite. Once you have eaten your fill, you push back from the table. As soon as you start to get up, the two girls step away from the wall and move toward the table. Anna begins to clean up the table, gathering the food while Eve collects the used dishes.<<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>> [[End Meal.|$location]]

Once done, both her and her sister return to their place near the wall, prepared to serve you if you need it. The meal is exceptional, especially the salmon that almost melts in your mouth with a subtle blend of spices and butter that complements the flavor. When you finally finish with the food, you take one last drink from your glass before leaving the table. When you make your exit from the room, you can hear the girls behind you starting to clean the table. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

When you move toward the table, Anna steps forward to take her seat, not sitting until you have slipped into your own. Near the wall, Eve smacks her lips, visibly salivating at the sight of all the food. Eve finally moves forward, serving first your setting, then Anna's before moving to the side again where she is out of the way. You eat your meal in relative silence, the only sounds that of your eating. As the minutes tick forward, Eve seems more and more uncomfortable as she watches the meal being devoured before her, knowing that she will not receive any of the food. Anna has not quite finished her meal by the time you have finished eating. Taking a couple final bites she waits for you to excuse yourself before getting up to help her sister with cleanup. Anna begins to gather the leftover food while Eve collects the used dishes.<<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

When you enter the room, you look at the table. Spread across one end of the table are several platters. Some with breads or vegetables, but others holding a range of meats and cheeses. In the center of the array is a large pot with a lid on it and a ladle hanging from its side. <<talk "thought">>Looks like soup and sandwich day.<</talk>>\ Around the spread are three place settings, with yours at the table's head and the other two along one side. Both of the girls look at you as you enter, waiting for you to sit before joining you. Once seated, you choose a few items to build your sandwich, then pause as Anna fills a bowl with soup for you. Before you actually start to eat, you look toward the two girls. Anna is building a small sandwich with just a small number of items. Meanwhile, Eve seems intent to add one or more of every item offered to her sandwich. Starting to eat, you can see Anna taking delicate bites of her food while Eve struggles to get her mouth around the large sandwich she built for herself. You can't help but feel a bit of amusement at the contrast between the two. When you finally finish your meal, you thank the girls and get up from the table. Meanwhile, the girls are just finishing their own meals, then starting to clean up after the meal. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<else>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

The places are already set and the meal spread out on the table when you enter the dining hall. Greens, with cheeses, meats, tomato and cucumber make up the centerpiece of each setting, a few croûtons topping the salad. On a separate small plate is a single roll. In the middle of the table, between the three settings are several choices of dressings, butter, and a small number of other items intended to supplement the meal. For once, Anna is the one who looks excited about the meal, while Eve is clearly eying the meal, but lacks the enthusiasm she usually shows at meal time. The girls wait for you to be seated, then approach their own places to seat themselves. A couple of bites into the meal, you glance at the two girls. Anna is eating her salad at a measured pace, seeming to enjoy her meal very much. Eve however is picking at her food as much as she is actually eating it, seeming intent on picking the tomatoes and croûtons out of the mix while avoiding much of the rest. As the items she wants starts to dwindle, she reluctantly begins to eat the rest as well, casting sidelong looks at her sister as she does so. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if they talked about her finishing her meal before sitting down?<</talk>>\ The meal continues largely in silence, only a few words spoken by the time you finish eating your food. You notice that Anna seems to have timed her meal so that she finished within seconds of when you do. Eve still has part of her bowl filled with salad. Excusing yourself, you make your exit, trusting that the girls will finish up without your supervision. <<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<else>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

Meanwhile, Anna moves to the table and fills a bowl with soup while Eve pours your drink. Once you are ready to start eating, both girls quickly return to the wall in silence, watching and waiting in case you need anything. When you finish your meal and get up, the girls quickly approach the table and begin to clean up the remnants of the meal.<<addtime { minute : 60 }>> [[End Meal.|$location]] <<if $anna.meal is 1>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<elseif $anna.meal is 0>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $anna.trust -= 1>><<else>>If you are seeing this message, please report it.

Taking your seat, you half watch the girls standing near the side of the room while you eat your meal. Eve fidgeting with boredom while Anna looks almost longingly at the food you are eating. The meal continues largely in silence, the sound of your cutlery making most of the sound, and the girls moving near the table as they refill your drink or serve anything you want keeping the room from being completely silent.

You walk into the dining room and feel light on your feet as the glorious smells waft around you. The succulent aroma of perfectly cooked sausages mingles with the sweet scent of strawberry and the tang of fresh oranges. Your mouth waters as you see fluffy amber pancakes with the perfect white outline on the edges stacked next to bowls of fruit including strawberries and blueberries. You almost let slip a moan as you see a tray of bacon cooked to the perfect crisp next to a plate of juicy sausages, each as big as your finger and as long as the forks laid next to the empty plates. You see a single can of whipped cream, a tray with golden butter, and a bottle of thick syrup stand next to a pitcher of orange juice, milk, and water. Anna and Eve stand near the table. Anna, as ever, is calm with her hands folded delicately in front of her. You see Eve fidgeting anxiously, her eyes repeatedly darting to the food laid out on the table. It is clear that she is singling out the whipped cream in particular, and you can’t help but smile. <<talk "player">>It smells amazing, girls.<</talk>>\ You grin, eying the banquet before you. <<talk "eve">>It smells so goooooood....<</talk>>\ Eve whines. Anna looks sternly at her sister before to you. <<talk "anna">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ She nods. Anna pulls your seat out for you as you approach. You sit down, stomach grumbling in anticipation. The girls take their seats and you begin passing the food around. You give a pleasant moan as you feel the bacon crunch in your mouth, savoring the crispy snap and smoky flavor. You almost miss the sideways glance Anna gives you. <<talk "player">>This bacon is perfect.<</talk>>\ You nod to her. Anna returns your nod, a faint blush in her cheeks. <<talk "anna">>Thank you, Master.<</talk>>\ You decide not to correct her this time, as you are too busy silencing your stomach. You hear the prolonged hiss of whipped cream as you pour the golden syrup over your stack and look over to Eve. You see she has covered the top of her stack with whipped cream. You watch curiously as she takes various fruits and starts arranging them on it. <<talk "eve">>Now it’s happy!<</talk>>\ Eve giggles as rotates the plate for you to see. She has arranged a curved row of strawberries as a happy face on her whipped pancake, with two blueberries acting as eyes. ''Eve smiles as you chuckle.'' <<talk "anna">>Eve! You know better than this!<</talk>>\ Anna says sharply, clearly disapproving of her younger sister playing with her food. Eve’s giggle dies quickly to a downcast expression as she looks at her older sister.

You keep your mouth shut, letting Anna handle Eve's behavior rather than stepping in yourself. Anna whispers a few stern words to Eve, then returns her attention to her own meal. Eve sits up straighter in her seat. <<talk "eve">>Sorry, my behavior was not befitting a lady.<</talk>>\ The moment the words are out of her mouth, she casts a sidelong glance at her sister. Seeing that her sister isn't watching her directly, she picks up her fork and digs into her breakfast. A little while later, you finish up your meal and help the girls clear the table. [[Continue.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 60 }>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>

You act quickly. <<talk "player">>Eve!<</talk>>\ Her eyes turn back to you, and you see them light up again as her hands cover her mouth, mad giggling pouring between her fingers. Anna, curious, turns to look at you as well. You’ve placed two of the sausages under your top lip in both corners of your mouth, grinning as wide as possible. <<talk "player">>I’m a walrus!<</talk>>\ One sausage slips from your mouth to your plate, sending a small spatter of syrup and grease onto the table. Eve laughs hysterically behind her hands and you see Anna struggling to suppress a smile of her own. You finish breakfast shortly after and help the girls clear the table.

You look around the dining room and are surprised not to see Eve standing next to Anna. In fact, you don’t see sign of her anywhere. Anna is standing where she usually is, hands folded politely in front of her. You’re surprised to see a faint blush on her pale features. Two plates are set on the table, each one with a silver cover hiding its contents and across from each other. You see two glasses and a green bottle off to one side, and a single candle lit between the plates. <<talk "thought">>Kind of romantic, actually...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Where’s Eve?<</talk>>\ ''You keep your tone mild.'' <<talk "anna">>She wasn’t feeling well so she’s in bed right now.<</talk>>\ Anna is far from convincing, but you decide not to push it.

<<talk "player">>I hope she feels better soon, she has chores in the morning.<</talk>>\ ''You say passively as you prepare to enjoy your meal.'' Anna pours your glass fill of a bubbly amber fluid, then removes the cover over your plate, releasing a delicious aroma of cooked beef. You are pleased to see a decent cut of roast beef alongside some mashed potatoes and green beans. You nod in thanks as you start eating. The meal continues in silence, the soft sound of chewing food punctuated by the sound of silver scraping your plates. As the meal stretches on, Anna looks more and more uncomfortable, as if something is weighing heavily on her mind. You don't ask about it. <<talk "thought">>If it was something important, she knows to say something.<</talk>>\ ''As you finish off the last of your meal.'' <<talk "player">>Thank you for the meal.<</talk>>\ You say, leaving the table as Anna begins to clean up after the meal. [[Continue.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 53 }>><<set $anna.affection -= 1>><<set $anna.fear += 1>>\

You take your seat. Instead of taking her seat, Anna stands next to you. You see her hesitate, looking between the metal covers and the bottle as if unsure what to do first. <<talk "player">>Let me pour this.<</talk>>\ You say, grasping the bottle and glasses. <<talk "player">>What’d you make?<</talk>>\ You see a label marking the bottle as cider. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if my Uncle has any wine... or anything stronger stored away in this big house....<</talk>>\ Anna removes the cover, releasing a delicious aroma of cooked beef. You are pleased to see a decent cut of roast beef alongside some mashed potatoes and green beans. <<talk "player">>A plain meal for all these fancy trappings, but I won’t complain.<</talk>>\ ''You look up at Anna with a grin.'' <<talk "anna">>I hope you like it.<</talk>>\ She says quietly, setting the lid off to one side. You pour one glass full of amber liquid and hand it to Anna before filling your own. <<talk "player">>I’m sure I will. Where did you find cider?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Your Great Uncle had some in the wine cellar. He liked it in the winter before....bed.<</talk>>\ ''Anna’s voice is quiet.'' Turning away from you, she takes her seat and uncovers her own meal; a salad with croûtons, tomatoes, and some dressing you can’t readily recognize. <<talk "player">>He kept a good selection in the wine cellar?<</talk>>\ Anna hesitates as she picks up her fork. You begin cutting up your roast beef. <<talk "anna">>He had some he often shared with his visitors, nearly all of it was taken after he, . . . was gone.<</talk>>\ You nod as you start eating. The meal continues in silence for a while, that faint blush persisting on her cheeks. You catch her sneaking furtive looks at you between bites, as if waiting for something... <<talk "player">>Have you been reading anything interesting lately?<</talk>>\ You decide to break the silence. <<talk "anna">>Well, I....I’ve been reading this book of poetry. It has a lot of Lewis Carroll ones in it.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Ahh. The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things...<</talk>>\ You are surprised when Anna’s face lights up. <<talk "anna">>Of shoes and ships and sealing wax. Of cabbages and kings.<</talk>>\ You smile brightly as she finishes the quote. <<talk "anna">>The Walrus and The Carpenter. I had to do a paper on Lewis Carroll for a class in college...<</talk>>\ You end up telling her about what you can remember about the author. Anna seems to listen intently, asking you questions about Lewis Carroll. You answer what you can remember, and by the time you finish the candle is half melted. Anna by this point has lost the faint blush in her cheeks, and you find her questions encouraging. When you first arrived at the mansion, you remember her being too terrified to ask you anything other than what you wanted, least of all casual conversation. You see her open her mouth to ask something else, but she waivers... <<talk "player">>Go ahead.<</talk>>\ You say, clearing the last morsels from your plate. <<talk "player">>I was wondering... What it was like growing up somewhere normal?<</talk>>\ Anna looks down at her dish, seeming to shrink in her seat. The silence stretches for several seconds before you reply. <<talk "anna">>Well....<</talk>>\ You pour a half glass of cider before offering it to her. She timidly takes it and refills her glass. <<talk "anna">>I mean...I feel like it was okay, pretty average. Small house in the suburbs. Single tree out front. My Mom and Dad argued once and a while but nothing ever big.<</talk>>\ You take a sip of your glass, contemplating your answer. <<talk "player">>I went to school, did kid things and the like...got in trouble plenty. Let me tell you. I feel like I was such a scamp when I was super young... Ran around climbing everything. I fell out of a tree once and broke my arm.<</talk>>\ You shrug, but are glad to see Anna’s shoulders stop hunching as you speak. <<talk "player">>Now...when I was a teenager I was a typical asshole. Stayed out late, drank before I was legal age, chased a girl or two I shouldn’t have...<</talk>>\ You decide to steer away from that subject when you see a strange look pass over Anna’s face. You aren’t sure if it’s jealousy, anger, or fear. <<talk "player">>Eventually I grew out of it. Helps when your parents give you a deserved beating or two.<</talk>>\ You regret your words when you see Anna shrink again. <<talk "player">>Not like an actual beating! It’s...metaphorical! Like my dad removed the tires from my car as punishment one time....they never hit me when I was a teenager.<</talk>>\ Anna nods, sipping her cider. <<talk "thought">>Now when I was small and a little shit.<</talk>>\ You opt not to inform her of the memories you have of getting the belt. You tilt your head as you watch the Anna for a moment. <<talk "thought">>I take all of that for granted. I had a Mom and Dad... A teenage life... I don’t think she or Eve did. Except for all the horrible stuff my Uncle did...<</talk>>\ You feel a pang of sorrow as watch her push her plate aside. <<talk "anna">>It sounds.....nice.<</talk>>\ Anna says. You nod and push yourself up. Anna follows suit and starts collecting the dishes. You go around and put a hand on her shoulder, feeling Anna stiffen at the contact. <<talk "player">>Thank you, Anna.<</talk>>\ You give her a hug and kiss the top of her head gently. <<talk "player">>This was a lot of fun.<</talk>>\ You see her blush and step away, a faint smile on her lips. <<talk "anna">>I’m glad you liked it, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ You watch her carry the dishes away with a lingering smile.

You can smell the delicious aroma of cooked pork coming from the dining room, bringing a smile to your face. Upon entering, You see Anna and Eve standing near the table. Eve is looking curiously at a plate with what seems to be breaded meat on it. Anna stands, her hands folded in front of her as normal. <<talk "maki">>This smells good!<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>It's something Miss Morichi requested. It's something called schnitzel. I also made some potato salad.<</talk>>\ There's a hint of nervousness in her tone. <<talk "eve">>It looks like a fried pork chop.<</talk>>\ Eve tilted her head curiously. You're about to respond when you hear footsteps approach. You turn and see Maki and Bubbles entering, a broad smile on the smaller woman's face. <<talk "maki">>It smells wonderful, Anna!<</talk>>\ Maki looks over the food, rubbing her hands gleefully. Bubbles nods in agreement, her single eye wandering over the table. As you sit down, you can tell Anna is anxious. You see her eyes constantly flicker over to your guests and then back down to the table. Eve continues to stare at the meal strangely, almost like a cat eyeing a toy. You pass the plates around and place a cut of meat onto your plate along with some of the potato salad. You cut up the meat and take a tentative bite, chewing thoughtfully. You see Anna staring at you intently as you chew, her hands fidgeting. <<talk "player">>It tastes good.<</talk>>\ You assure her. It reminds you of a fried porkchop except with more of a bread flavor, and seems to pair well with the potato salad. You see Eve poke at it for a few moments with a knife and fork, eyes narrowed in concentration. When she finally takes a bite, her face scrunches for a moment as she chews it. <<talk "player">>Eve?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>It's good.<</talk>>\ She nods finally. Anna seems a little relieved, her shoulders relaxing slightly. You see Maki giggle, chewing idly. You're most surprised by Bubbles, who seems to be taking to it with great enthusiasm. <<talk "maki">>This is one of Bubbles' favorite dishes.<</talk>>\ Maki remarks, glancing over at her companion. The taller woman nods vigorously, taking huge bites from her meal. <<talk "maki">>I think my sweet girl is enjoying the meal very much, Anna.<</talk>>\ Maki giggles as Bubbles nods enthusiastically once more. You smile broadly as Eve matched Maki's giggle and tries to match the giantess' gusto. <<talk "anna">>Eve! You're going to choke. Slow down!<</talk>>\ Anna glares at her little sister. Eve pouts, but slows her eating to a more reasonable pace. The meal concludes with the plate of meat bare, Bubbles cleaning the last morsel from her plate before pushing it to the center with everyone else's dishes. Anna and Eve quickly gather everything as you stand up and excuse yourself with Maki and her companion. <<talk "bubbles">>It was good.<</talk>>\ Bubbles states, nodding at Anna. You see a faint blush in her pale cheeks as she returns the nod. <<talk "anna">>Thank you, Miss Bubbles.<</talk>>\ You see a faint smile touch Anna's lips as she continues cleaning.

- Maybe check that the check I added to make sure the girls eat with you is correct.

You enter the dining room to the delicious aroma of cooked beef. You see a platter of perfectly cooked beef patties, stacked neatly atop each other. You see ciabatta rolls next to them, sliced in half for patties and lightly toasted, accentuating the smell of cooked beef with fresh toast. Sliced tomatoes and leaves of lettuce decorate another platter along with delicately cut onions. The usual condiments line up next to the pitcher of water and a large basket of wedge fries sits next to them. Various slices of different cheeses finish the spread. Anna bows to you as you enter, while Eve simply stares at the beef patties. <<talk "eve">>Oooh. Hamburgers!<</talk>>\ You rub your hands together in delight. <<talk "player">>What kinds of cheese do we have here?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Cheddar, swiss, and provolone.<</talk>>\ Anna says politely, pulling your chair out for you. You sit and usher the girls to sit as well. <<talk "player">>Classic. Do we have pepper jack?<</talk>>\ You ask, starting to pass around the platters. <<talk "anna">>I….don’t think so.<</talk>>\ You see some color touch Anna’s cheeks as she takes a ciabatta roll. <<talk "player">>That’s fine. Something to put on a shopping list. I like the ciabatta as buns. Very clever.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Thank you, Master.<</talk>>\ You sigh inwardly at the name. You select two slices of cheddar to go with your burger along with some ketchup and mustard. A sprinkling of onions and tomato slices finishes it.

Anna remains quiet as Eve tries to wrap her tiny hands around her monstrous creation. You stifle a chuckle as Eve lifts it to her mouth, opening as wide as possible. You see Anna stifle her own giggle as Eve tries different angles of entry for the massive hamburger, falling short. You laugh as she continues for another few moments, only succeeding in taking an incomplete mouthful, her cheeks bulging as she tries to process it. <<talk "player">>I think Anna’s right. You need to split that in half.<</talk>>\ You smile as Eve pouts, reluctantly disassembling her masterpiece. You cast a side glance to Anna and swear you see a faint smile on her face briefly before she resumes eating. You and Eve banter playfully back and forth as the meal progresses. Perhaps spending more time joking than actually eating. Eventually, you lean back in your seat feeling full. After a couple of minutes, you father up your dishes and allow the girls to clean up.

<<talk "player">>Anna's right, you'll never get your mouth around that thing.<</talk>>\ A mischievous look crosses Eve's face, her mouth just starting to widen before realizing that you're serious. With a heavy sigh, Eve opens her hamburger and moves two of the patties to a second bun. Opening her mouth, she still barely is able to fit her lips around it. You barely hide your smirk while watching her out of the corner of your eye. Through the rest of your meal, all three of you eat in relative silence, speaking occasionally but focused largely on the meal before you. Eventually, you lean back in your seat feeling full.

When you enter the room, you look at the table. On the table you see a whole chicken and a joint of beef along with a large food warmer containing various vegetables. There is also a large pan with mashed potato inside and a jug containing gravy. Around the table are place settings, your place at the head of the table, Anna�s next to you, Eve's next to Anna and Mitsuko's to your other side. The 3 girls look at you as you enter, waiting for you to sit before joining you. Once seated, you place a few cuts of beef on your plate with a few veg and mashed potato. You notice Eve and Mitsuko eyeing up the chicken legs as you consider grabbing a leg yourself. <<talk "thought">>All 3 of us can't have a leg each.<</talk>>\ You tell the girls to grab a leg while you slice some of the chicken breast. <<talk "player">>I'm more of a breast man.<</talk>>\ you say with a cheeky smile on your face. You notice a slight blush on the faces of Anna and Mitsuko as Anna pours your gravy carefully over your food. Before you actually start to eat, you pause a moment to watch the girls, Anna is loading up her plate with Broccoli, Eve is positively salivating over her chicken leg and meats and Mitsuko is watching you waiting for you to take the first bit with a calm look on her face. <<talk "thought">>How did I get so lucky?<</talk>>\ Taking your first bit of Chicken mixed with Broccoli and mashed potato, Mitsuko gently places a bit carrot and potato in her mouth, chewing slowly and politely. Eve, on the other hand seems to be putting food in her mouth faster than she can swallow it. Anna gives her a stern glare and Eve slows down a little. When you finally finish your meal, you thank the girls complementing their cooking skills before getting up off the table. Meanwhile, the girls are just finishing their own meals, then starting to clean up after the meal.

Dining Room Must have Mitsuko Must be Lunch time

It's late in the night, and you're just about to go back to your bedroom, until you here a strange sound from the direction you guess where the rooms are. The girls are asleep, you think, your curiosity peaked. Turning in the other direction, you follow the sound. It's a sound like someone makes while wearing heels. It could be a thief, you think to yourself, that thought making you walk faster. You continue to follow the sound, but suddenly it stops. Looking around, you find yourself outside one of the many bedrooms of the mansion. The lights are on in the room, so you enter cautiously. No one's here, you think, looking around. You're gaze falls on the bed, then to the floor on its right where top of a dress which a woman would wear lies. Just as you see it, you here the door snap shut. You turn around, your eyes widening in complete astonishment. All thoughts of thieves and caution are thrown out of your mind as you stand there, open-mouthed. Shanaya stares back at you, standing in front of the door, her arms crossed, a seductive smile on her full lips. Her sudden appearance, as well as how she got inside isn't a concern to you at the moment. No, what has left you completely speechless is that she is half naked, her upper body completely exposed. Guess her clothes won't stop my eyes anymore, you think as you shamelessly eye the attractive woman in front of you. Her long black hair is falling down to her waist, just as they were when you met her previously. But everything else is completely different. Her delicate neck is completely exposed, causing you to barely stop yourself from drooling. Her breasts are enticingly large and perky, d-cup or larger. As your gaze lowers down, you realize that you were right. Not a single bit of fat is on her body. Her stomach is pleasingly toned and feminine, begging to be kissed and caressed. To your disappointment, her lower body is covered, but that doesn't stop you from admiring her long, sexy legs, as well as her curvy hips. Your cock snaps up to attention as you admire Shanaya's sexy body. While you're busy ogling her, Shanaya doesn't just stands there. She gracefully begins to walk towards you, swaying her hips sexily. Her every move is performed with a thought, the thought of being nothing but sensual. As she nears you, you see that she has a tall, beautiful hite, complimented by her long legs. Stopping extremely close to you, she places both her hands on your bear chest, pushing you backwards. You easily let her do so, your eyes and mind both on her attractive form. You fall backwards on the bed, and as soon as you do, Shanaya climbs on top of you. Her legs wrap around your waist, her breasts pressing against your chest. you feel her breath against your lips, as her face is only inches away from yours. Then her soft lips are upon yours, bringing you out of your trance. <<talk "shanaya">>We really need to do something about your admiration, love.<</talk>>\ She purrs sexily, her face inches away from yours. Her hands are caressing your chest, gently drawing circles, causing you to shiver under her touch. "What else do you expect me to do when you appear out of nowhere, not to mention like this?" you say, groaning in pleasure as Shanaya gently strokes your nipples. Shaking your head to clear off the lust from your mind, at least for a moment, you look at her. "How are you here? Why are you here?" you ask uncomprehendingly. <<talk "shanaya">>I'm a talented woman, <<print $playerCalled>>.<</talk>>\ She blows against your ear, causing your body to shutter. <<talk "shanaya">>As to why I'm here.<</talk>>\ Her lips graze over your jaw, then descent down upon your chest as she applies long and pleasurable kisses to your chest, causing you to throw your head back and moan. <<talk "shanaya">>I'm here for you, love.<</talk>>\ Her face comes back up to yours and she gives you a chase kiss. <<talk "player">>F-for me?<</talk>>\ You breathe out, looking up at her, your erection pressed up against her body. <<talk "shanaya">>You're mine now, <<print $playerCalled>>.<</talk>>\ She speaks, confirming the statement with her hands running up and down your chest. <<talk "shanaya">>Two days earlier, I told you that I've found prey.<</talk>>\ She leans forward, giving you another chase kiss. <<talk "shanaya">>You are my prey.<</talk>>\ She says, still on top of you. <<talk "shanaya">>I'm going to touch you. I'm going to kiss you. I'm going to hold you, until you beg me for sex.<</talk>>\ With that her lips touch yours, finally pulling you in to a long and passionate kiss. Her arms wrap around you and she intensifies the kiss, kissing you for all you're worth. [[Kiss her back.|Submitted Shanaya Scene 2a]] [[Push her away.|Submitted Shanaya Scene 2d]] ''Submitted by The Mysterious Stranger'' <<addtime { minute : 7 }>>\

Her actions, as well as her words are more than enough to send you over the edge. Lust throws every thought out of your mind. You kiss her back, your arms wrapping around her. You pull her as close as you can, your hands on her soft, naked back. Her lips taste sweet, sweet and addictive. Her intoxicating scent is driving you crazy. Her perfume is probably expensive, and as you stop between your kisses to inhale her scent, it does amazing things to your erection. Your hands roam across her back. She moans as you caress her delicate flesh. It's near the back of her left underarm, and you know you've found one of her sweet spots. Your hands go lower to the middle of her back, then to her waist. You ignite a moan from her as you stroke her sides, all the while your mouth moves against her own between passionate kisses. You pull away after a while, gasping for air. Holding her close, you stare up in to her gray eyes. <<talk "shanaya">>There's more where that came from, love.<</talk>>\ She whispers against your lips, then kisses you once again. This kiss unlike the previous one is fierce. You moan in to her mouth as she gently drags her nails up your back. It's a little sharp, but in a pleasurable way. Her other hand strokes your chest, pinching your nipples one by one. You whimper and gasp in pleasure. While she might let have let you control the previous kiss, it's clear to you both that she's the one who has the ultimate control, as one touch of her hands or her lips sends wave after wave of pleasure in to your body. Your Tung brushes her lips, begging for entrance in to her mouth. Her lips part and your Tung meets hers. You pull her body closer, your hands exploring her naked body. Your hands first are on the nape of her neck, then you move down to her back. Her hands run through your hair as your Tung dances with her own. Your hands glide to her front. Cupping her breasts in each hand, you gently massage them, sometimes stroking the nipples, sometimes the breasts. She moans passionately, and you hope that she might let you be on top so she can experience more, but it seems she likes to dominate, as she lowers her mouth from your lips to your chest. <<talk "player">>Oh my god!<</talk>>\ You whimper out as Shanaya's lips ghost over your chest. It seems like she's very fond of your moans, as her mouth attacks your nipples. She gently grazes her teeth over them one by one, then softly kisses them. <<talk "shanaya">>Shanaya...<</talk>>\ Her name escapes your lips several times as she cradles your shuttering body. <<talk "shanaya">>Kiss me, now.<</talk>>\ You moan as she continues her ministrations across your chest. The pleasure from her touch is so intense that your hands limply rest on her back, your eyes half lidded. <<talk "player">>Kiss me, Shanaya.<</talk>>\ You moan once again. Her mouth trails upwards, until she's once again staring down at you, resting her forehead against yours. <<talk "shanaya">>I am kissing you already, aren't I, love?<</talk>>\ She asks, giving you a chase kiss, pulling away as soon as you try to deepen it, causing you to moan in frustration as you feel being aroused even by that action. <<talk "shanaya">>Beg me, <<print $playerCalled>>.<</talk>>\ She commands, her hands drawing circles on your chest. <<talk "shanaya">>Beg me to kiss you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Kiss me Shanaya.<</talk>>\ You breathed, your gaze one moment to her full lips, the next moment to her moving breast with the rise and fall of her chest. <<talk "player">>Kiss me.<</talk>>\ She decides to indulge you, smashing her lips in to yours. Without wasting time, you deepen the kiss, moving your mouth against her own. Both of you are deeply aroused now, the sounds of your moans filling the room. Shanaya gasps out as your hands cup her breasts, a long, sensual moan escaping her lips as you begin to massage her breasts in your hands, squeezing and caressing the delicate flesh. As her mouth opens, you immediately slip your Tung in. the woman on top of you experiences her first shiver of pleasure by your hands as you reach her stomach, caressing the soft flesh. You go back up to her large breasts, cupping them in your hands. Shanaya rewards your efforts with a pinch to the nipple, causing you to gasp out from the feeling of both pain and pleasure together. The two of you separate to breathe, and hoping that she allows it, you kiss her jaw, then her chin, then move down, your lips hovering over her delicate neck. She doesn't wait for you, as her own hands descent down to your stomach and then lower as she finally begins to initiate the purpose she is here for. [[Kiss down her body.|Submitted Shanaya Scene 2b]] [[Relax and let her do her thing.|Submitted Shanaya Scene 2c]] ''Submitted by The Mysterious Stranger'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>\

Your mouth worships her sexy body. You suck on her neck, tasting the sweet skin. She moans from the double efforts of your hands on her breasts and lips on her neck, the feminine sound pleasing to your ears. You kiss her delicate neck several times, leaving many marks on the soft flesh. you leave a trail of kisses behind as your lips move from one direction to another. gently nipping at the soft skin of her neck, you draw out a gasp from her lips. You move down to where her collarbone meets her neck, gently biting down, causing her to take a sharp breath. Wanting to feel and taste more, your mouth travels lower, replacing your hands on her breasts. You kiss her large breasts for a long time, dividing your attention between both her breasts equally. You kiss and suck on her right breast, taking her nipple in to your mouth and licking the skin. She's top on you, but for those moments, you have a feeling of control. You release her nipple, switching to her left breast and repeating your actions. You kiss and suk all you want, not knowing if you'll ever again have a chance to be in this position with a woman so sexy You find another sweet spot, for as you kiss the area between her breasts, she moans out in pleasure, her hands grabbing your head, not letting you move. You immediately comply, burying your face between her breasts. Inhaling the scent between her breasts, you kiss and lick her skin for several minutes. her body shutters as you bite down on the skin. you can feel her form shaking as you tightly wrap your arms around her waist. you mark the area between her breasts with several kisses, then lick the sweet skin. Shanaya cradles your head between her breasts, urging you to continue your actions. not wanting to deny the beautiful woman, you bring your hands from her back to her breasts, massaging her breasts in each hand while your mouth works on the area between them. After a while of thisYou are about to do something else to her, but you frees as her hands which had stopped their ministrations grab your cock through your pants. Shanaya gives you a few gentle strokes, and once again, you're completely at her mercy as you find yourself experiencing one of the most intensive pleasures you have felt. Shanaya moves away from you, your head sliding off her breasts, falling on the bed. Cock still in her hands, she gives you a sexy smile. <<talk "shanaya">>If only your pants weren't in the way.<</talk>>\ She speaks in her particular way, her voice sounding like a sensual moan. You hurriedly try to remove your pants, but she climbs up on top of you once again, trapping you beneath her, her body pressing in to yours in all the right places, causing you to take a sharp breath. <<talk "shanaya">>Not without my approval, love.<</talk>>\ She confirms the statement with her signature chase kiss. <<talk "player">>T-that's the only reason you're here.<</talk>>\ You gasp out in pleasure. <<talk "shanaya">>So don't play coyooooooooo.<</talk>>\ Your speech changes midway in to a long drawn out moan as Shanaya pulls down your pants in one quick motion, then begins to softly stroke up and down your cock. <<talk "shanaya">>That's right love.<</talk>>\ She blows in to your ear. Your eyes flutter shut in pleasure as Shanaya gives you a hand job which you know you won't be forgetting anytime soon. Seeing that with every stroke you're whimpering for more, you know that you're correct in your assumptions. <<talk "shanaya">>Enjoying ourselves, are we?<</talk>>\ She whispers, pressing her palm against the tip of your cock, making you jerk forward as it is one of the more sensitive parts of your cock. Liking your reaction, she removes her hand, then presses it back to your tip. She repeats this action several times, reducing you to do nothing but able to moan and whimper. <<talk "player">>Shanaya... I want more�please Shanaya.<</talk>>\ ''You plead.'' <<talk "shanaya">>Tell me <<print $playerCalled>>.<</talk>>\ She asks, staring down at you while her hand works on your cock. <<talk "player">>Do you like being my prey?<</talk>>\ She smiles seductively. <<talk "player">>Yes! God yes!<</talk>>\ You moan out your answer. It's like your confession is thought good enough to be rewarded, as Shanaya doubles her efforts. her hands on you are soft and gental, caressing you softly yet sensually. You whimper and moan out in bliss, speaking out her name again and again. in a few moments later, your entire body jerks as your cum flies in to her hand, covering it up to the elbow. You're not done though, as just the next moment, wave after wave of cum pores out of your cock, involuntary moans and shutters escaping your body. For entire two minutes, cum seeps out of you, most of it falling on the bed. All the while Shanaya continues to stroke you, pulling you in to a deep and passionate kiss. you kiss her back with passion, pushing your tung in to her mouth. your kiss is filled with desire, and Shanaya doubles that desire as you orgasm. When it all stops, you are still shuttering in pleasure, your body shaking with pleasure, Shanaya lying on top of you, a sexual smile on her face. That was one of the most intensive orgasms you have experienced, and to think Shanaya did that to you just by her hands. You imagine what she could do to you with her mouth, and how pleasuring it would be if you went all the way. <<talk "shanaya">>I know what you're thinking.<</talk>>\ Shanaya whispers in to your ear. <<talk "shanaya">>Let me give you what I call a demo.<</talk>>\ Her hands which were resting on your chest go down, and with a few strokes, she brings you back to standing at attention. Then, she lowers down her body, her face disappearing between your legs. You moan in sheer bliss as Shanaya's perfect lips wrap around your cock. Her Tung brushes you, her lips sucking on the tip of your cock, the action causing your body to jurk forward. and then she releases you. You think she won't continue, but she surprises you. She softly kisses the tip of your cock, grazes her teeth against it gently, then kisses you once again. She repeats this action a total of three times. By the second time, you feel a pressure building inside you, and by the third, you launch your cum in to her mouth, a loud sound of pleasure escaping your mouth. In just three actions, you orgasm, your mind overwhelmed by the pleasurable sensations. All thoughts leave your mind and you are completely out of your senses. Your vision blurs, as the only thing you continue to experience is pleasure coursing through your body. When you come back to your senses, you're lying in Shanaya's arms, your head cradled between her breasts. Shanaya's arms are wrapped around you and she rocks you back and forth, whispering sweet nothings in to your ear. You feel extremely tired, not to mention really comfortable in her arms. <<talk "player">>That was the most intensive orgasm I've ever experienced.<</talk>>\ You breathe against her skin. <<talk "shanaya">>Get use to it.<</talk>>\ She whispers in to your ear, her slender fingers softly running through your hair. You feel your eyes beginning to shut. Tired from your activities, you are almost asleep until you feel your head being lifted and then lowered down on a pillow. <<talk "player">>You're leaving?<</talk>>\ ''You ask tiredly.'' <<talk "shanaya">>For now love.<</talk>>\ Shanaya answers, pulling the covers over you and tucking you in. you're surprised that a seductress like her can be so gentle, but do not think much about in your almost asleep condition. <<talk "shanaya">>But trust me... I've just begun with you.<</talk>>\ You here some rustling, but don't think it important enough to open your eyes. As you fall asleep, the last thing you feel are Shanaya's soft lips on your forehead. [[End.|$location]] Submitted by The Mysterious Stranger<<addtime { minute : 16 }>>

Liking your reaction, she removes her hand, then presses it back to your tip. She repeats this action several times, reducing you to do nothing but able to moan and whimper. <<talk "player">>Shanaya! I want more�please Shanaya!<</talk>>\ <<talk "shanaya">>Tell me <<print $playerCalled>>...<</talk>>\ She asks, staring down at you while her hand works on your cock. <<talk "shanaya">>Do you like being my prey?<</talk>>\ ''She smiles seductively.'' <<talk "player">>Yes! God yes!<</talk>>\ You moan out your answer. It's like your confession is thought good enough to be rewarded, as in a few moments later, your entire body jerks as your cum flies in to her hand, covering it up to the elbow. You're not done though, as just the next moment, wave after wave of cum pores out of your cock, involuntary moans and shutters escaping your body. For entire two minutes, cum seeps out of you, most of it falling on the bed. All the while Shanaya continues to stroke you, pulling you in to a deep and passionate kiss as you orgasm. When it all stops, you are still shuttering in pleasure, your body shaking with pleasure, Shanaya lying on top of you, a sexual smile on her face. That was one of the most intensive orgasms you have experienced, and to think Shanaya did that to you just by her hands. You imagine what she could do to you with her mouth, and how pleasuring it would be if you went all the way. <<talk "shanaya">>I know what you're thinking.<</talk>>\ Shanaya whispers in to your ear. <<talk "shanaya">>Let me give you what I call a demo.<</talk>>\ Her hands which were resting on your chest go down, and with a few strokes, she brings you back to standing at attention. Then, she lowers down her body, her disappearing between your legs. You moan in sheer bliss as Shanaya's perfect lips wrap around your cock. Her Tung brushes you, and then she releases you. You think she won't continue, but she surprises you. She softly kisses the tip of your cock, grazes her teeth against it gently, then kisses you once again. She repeats this action a total of three times. By the second time, you feel a pressure building inside you, and by the third, you launch your cum in to her mouth, a loud sound of pleasure escaping your mouth. In just three actions, you orgasm, your mind overwhelmed by the pleasurable sensations. All thoughts leave your mind and you are completely out of your senses. Your vision blurs, as the only thing you continue to experience is pleasure coursing through your body. When you come back to your senses, you're lying in Shanaya's arms, your head cradled between her breasts. Shanaya's arms are wrapped around you and she rocks you back and forth, whispering sweet nothings in to your ear. You feel extremely tired, not to mention really comfortable in her arms. <<talk "player">>That was the most intensive orgasm I've ever experienced.<</talk>>\ ''You breathe against her skin.'' <<talk "shanaya">>Get use to it.<</talk>>\ She whispers in to your ear, her slender fingers softly running through your hair. You feel your eyes beginning to shut. Tired from your activities, you are almost asleep until you feel your head being lifted and then lowered down on a pillow. <<talk "player">>You're leaving?<</talk>>\ You ask tiredly. <<talk "shanaya">>For now, love.<</talk>>\ Shanaya answers, pulling the covers over you and tucking you in. you're surprised that a seductress like her can be so gentle, but do not think much about in your almost asleep condition. <<talk "shanaya">>But trust me... I've just begun with you.<</talk>>\ You here some rustling, but don't think it important enough to open your eyes. As you fall asleep, the last thing you feel are Shanaya's soft lips on your forehead. [[End.|$location]] ''Submitted by The Mysterious Stranger'' <<addtime { minute : 27 }>>\

While her lips are sweet and intoxicating, not to mention you know that she can pleasure you extremely well if you take a step forward, logic wins out and you push her away. <<talk "player">>Look lady...<</talk>>\ ''You glare at her.'' <<talk "player">>... I don't know what you want from me, but coming here in the middle of the night to get it isn't a good idea. Get out before I call the police.<</talk>>\ <<talk "shanaya">>Are you sure, love?<</talk>>\ She asks, sensually stretching her body and pushing out her breasts. Before you lose your resolve to that sensual body, you decide to put an end to it. <<talk "player">>I'm serious.<</talk>>\ You say, gesturing to her top which is lying on the floor. <<talk "player">>Put your clothes on and leave.<</talk>>\ <<talk "shanaya">>Your loss.<</talk>>\ She sighs, standing up and turning around, bending over to pick her top. She remains in that position for longer then she needs to, then turns in your direction, getting in to her top with slow and sensual actions. Finally done, she exits the room, her hips swinging attractively. <<talk "thought">>People these days...<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] ''Submitted by The Mysterious Stranger'' <<addtime { minute : 8 }>>\ <<set $shanayaCounter to 1>>\

Note: I wanted to clear this up. Love isn't the character's name. She will call the character @@.a2;"love"@@ often, no matter what the character's name is. Okay, so this scene can occur any time between twelve and three o'clock at night. For this scene to occur, the player must have met Shanaya before. The scene happens in the mansion. It can happen in any bedroom except the master bedroom. The scene cannot occur before two days have passed after the first meeting with Shanaya. Okay, final thing, just wanted to clear the choices in the scene if there's some confusion. Kiss her back. Push her away. If the player chooses kiss her back: Kiss your way down her body. Relax and let her do her thing Both choices lead to scene's end. If the player chooses push her away: End. GateKeeper's Comments: * Please double space between paragraphs, it makes things MUCH easier to work with. * I changed out the quote marks through the entire scene. The slanted ones break code. * Changed out your name placeholder for the code for the MCs name.

You can hear noise coming from the living room as you enter it. Inside, you can see the television playing. On the screen is a comedy, the volume turned down to little more than a whisper. Letting your eyes drift over the otherwise dark room, you notice two shapes on the couch. <<talk "thought">>Anna and Eve.<</talk>>\ Your footsteps draw you closer to the girls, considering what you want to do.

<<talk "thought">>You girls don't have permission to watch the television down here do you?<</talk>>\ You make it sound like a question, but you already know the answer. Anna nearly springs from the couch, Eve making a startled sound of surprise at the same time. <<talk "anna">>Sorry, it's my fault.<</talk>>\ Anna quickly begins. You raise a hand, staving off any further comment from her.

Stepping around the couch, both girls see you at the same time. You can see a space between the two of them and without a word, you slip into it, sitting between the girls. <<if $anna.affection gte 700 && $anna.fear lte 300>>\ Anna smiles when she sees you approach. Once you have sat down, she moves a little, inching closer to you. You can't help but smile a little as you put an arm around her shoulders. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 700 && $anna.fear gte 300>>\ Anna's smile seems authentic, but there's obvious unease in her expression as well.

At the same time, she seems to shy away from you slightly, her attention more on you than the television. <<elseif $anna.affection lte 300 && $anna.fear lte 300>>\ Once you're seated, Anna looks like she doesn't know what to do. After a minute, she mumbles an excuse about needing to check on something, then exits the room. <<elseif $anna.affection lte 300 && $anna.fear gte 300>>\ Anna's eyes widen slightly as you sit between her and her sister.

Living Room

You see Anna talking with her sister Eve. You pause, watching the interaction for a second. Eve sees you first, her eyes focusing on you as she gives a slight smile as she waves at you. The motion attracts Anna's attention who's eyes widen at the sight of you. <<talk "anna">>Back to work, quickly now.<</talk>>\ She says urgently to her sister before turning towards you. Eve does as her sister says, her little smile faltering as she rushes off to perform whatever task is next on her chores list. <<talk "eve">>It's not her fault, she came to me for guidance about one of her jobs. She wasn't slacking off. If anything, it's my fault for not teaching her tasks better.<</talk>>\ Her tone is defensive, and you can't help but notice that she's moved subtly to block your view of her retreating sister.

<<talk "player">>No harm.<</talk>>\ You reassure her. There's uncertainty in her eyes as she looks at you, as if she is trying to determine if you're laying some kind of trap for her. <<talk "anna">>I- umm.<</talk>>\ Her eyes turn downward, momentarily pondering the floor at her feet. <<talk "anna">>I should get back to work.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Don't let me interrupt then.<</talk>>\ Matching actions to words, Anna moves to pick up some of her cleaning supplies.

<<talk "player">>You know, you guys do a really good job of maintaining this place.<</talk>>\ The sound of your voice is enough to make her jump just a little. There's surprise in her eyes as she looks at you, but the uncertainty remains. <<talk "anna">>T-thank you?<</talk>>\ She makes the words sound like a question. Your smile seems to put her at least a little bit at ease. <<talk "player">>I'll let you get back to work, but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the work you and your sister do around here. Just.<</talk>>\ You point back and forth between Anna and Eve. <<talk "player">>Don't let things like this get in the way of completing your work.<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you, clearly a little stunned by your words. Lacking anything more to say, you playfully gesture for her to get back to work. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\ [[End Scene.|$location]]

You meet her eyes for only a second before deciding that the situation isn't worth wasting your time on. With nothing to say, you ignore Anna and go back to what you were doing before you encountered the sisters here.<<set $anna.fear += 1>><<addtime { minute : 1 }>> [[End Scene.|$location]]

<<talk "player">>The two of you both have chores to attend to, you should have been doing them, not standing around talking and making excuses for doing so.<</talk>>\ You say sternly.

I don't think it's much to ask that you do your job.<</talk>>\ You let your gaze drift between the two scared looking girls. Anna looks like she's used to this kind of thing, but it's clear that Eve is on the verge of tears. <<talk "player">>Do I make myself clear?<</talk>>\ Anna swallows visibly, nodding. You can see Eve's lip trembling as she does the same.

<<talk "player">>Now, someone needs to be punished for this.

<<talk "player">>I'm horny.<</talk>>\ You state, matter-of-fact. Anna's expression suddenly becomes haunted, her eyes flickering toward her sister before she takes a half step to place herself between you and Eve. Eve looks just a little surprised, though she tries to hide her reaction by working harder at the counter. You can see Anna shake slightly, a quick tremble that passes as quickly as it begins. The moment it's passed, her expression hardens. <<talk "anna">>Do you wish to take me over the counter?<</talk>>\ Her voice is cold, lacking emotion.

<<talk "player">>The counter is fine.<</talk>>\ Almost before you can finish uttering the words, Anna is in motion, freeing herself of just enough of her clothing to allow you access to her pussy. You can see the two sisters exchange a glance. Anna's expression is one of horror, Eves in contrast is a mix of worry for her sister and curiosity about what is about to happen. Unbuckling your belt, you open your pants and allow your penis to spring free. Reaching between her legs, you feel at her pussy. <<talk "thought">>She's barely wet, but it should be enough.<</talk>>\ You spit in your palm and rub it on your cockhead before stepping forward. You slide your cock along her slit once, then push forward. Anna squirms just a little, but spreads her legs just a little wider allowing you to slide inside. Pausing about half in, you pull back then push forward again. This time you don't stop until you're all the way inside. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Eve moving, trying to look busy as she positions herself for a better view of what is happening. You hold onto Anna's hips as you begin to fuck her. You thrust into her repeatedly, your pace regular. In spite of her displeasure with the situation, Anna slowly starts to become wetter, her hips moving just a little bit to position for a better angle of penetration. It's not long before you can feel your balls pull tight and you begin to release your load into her cunt. When you pull back, a trickle of white cum slips from Anna's pussy lips. She makes a sound of relief, then glances over her shoulder at you to make sure you are done before arranging her clothes back into place. Meanwhile, Eve is openly trying to look anywhere but at the two of you, her cheeks blushing crimson. Smiling to yourself, you pull your pants back into place and allow the girls to return to their work. [[End Scene.|$location]] <<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.affection -= 3>><<set $eve.fear += 5>><<addtime { minute : 8 }>>

<<talk "player">>I thought I'd make use of your sister.<</talk>>\ You say, knowing that Anna's not going to like your words and more than a little curious to see how she will react. There's panic in Anna's eyes as they flicker between you, Eve, and an assortment of cutlery that could potentially be used as weapons. <<if $eve.hasFlag("virgin")>>\ <<if $eve.affection gte 700 and $eve.fear lte 500>>\ Eve approaches the two of you, concern in her expression, but also a little excitement. When she reaches Anna's side, she places a hand on her sister's arm. Anna looks down at her sister, sighing heavily as she realizes that this is inevitable. Eve gives her sister a hug, then turns toward you. You can see a wide range of emotion in her eyes, but she does not say a word as she begins to undress before you. Once naked, her hands instinctively move to hide her nudity as she looks up at you. The smell of her arousal is heavy in the air. Reaching out, you pick her up and sit her gently on the edge of the counter. Goosebumps break out across her skin as the cold counter top comes in contact with her ass. Unbuckling your pants, your hard cock springs free. Anna makes a small sound of alarm from nearby, but this isn't about her, so you ignore the sound. Eve smiles, but the act only serves to make her seem more uncertain. You lean forward, kissing her lightly on the lips. When you break the kiss, Eve smiles, though you can tell its forced. <<talk "eve">>This isn't how I pictured this happening...<</talk>>\ She begins, trying to be sarcastic but only sounding scared. <<talk "eve">>But I'm glad you're going to be my first.<</talk>>\ Glancing at Anna, you can see the older sister on the verge of tears, watching as one of her greatest fears are realized and knowing there is nothing she can do to prevent it. When you look back at Eve, she's trying to look brave. She spreads her legs to reveal her perfect little slit, glistening with her own arousal. Suddenly Anna is at your side. For a split second you think she is going to push you away, but instead she takes her sister's hand. When she looks at you, its with an expression that begs for you to be gentle with her sister. There is no doubt in your mind that this whole experience will affect your relationship with Anna, deeply. You hold Anna's gaze for a second, then return your attention to Eve. Eve stiffens when the tip of your cock brushes her slit, "It's ok," Anna says softly. You slide your cock up and down her slit, moistening it with her juices and waiting until she begins to relax. The sounds Eve is making is a clear indication that she has started to enjoy what you are doing. With one hand, you spread her pussy lips to expose her virgin opening. With your other, you guide your cock to her hole. You ease in the tip until you feel resistance, then pull back again. For a dozen strokes or more, you fuck her with only the tip of your cock, entering her only deep enough to bump her hymen lightly. As soon as you feel her start to relax, start to enjoy the experience, you thrust forward. Eve cries out as you spear the thin barrier that separated you from her virgin pussy. <<talk "anna">>Just let him do what he must.<</talk>>\ Anna is whispering to her sister. <<talk "thought">>Anna's first time was not pleasant. She thinks Eve's will be a bad experience as well.<</talk>>\ You hold yourself deep inside of Eve's child like body, waiting for the pain to pass. Eve's expression slowly eases from being pinched in pain to only mild discomfort. When you pull back, you watch Eve's expression. Her face pinches slightly, but behind that you can see her analyzing the experience. When your hips move forward again, her expression becomes almost serene. By the time you make your third slow thrust, its clear that she's starting to enjoy herself. Eve's legs wrap around you. One of her hands squeezing her sister's hand while the other comes to rest on your shoulder, trying to cling to you. \ [img[images/backgrounds/scenes/eveKitchenSex.png]] \ Over the course of several minutes, you increase your pace, always careful to ensure Eve is enjoying herself. <<talk "thought">>She is ''so'' incredibly tight.<</talk>>\ ''You marvel, fighting the urge to cum.'' When you feel yourself getting close, you try to stop in an effort to prolong the inevitable. Eve has other ideas though. <<talk "eve">>Please, don't stop.<</talk>>\ She pleads, her hips moving against you in the most delightful way you can imagine. <<talk "eve">>It feels good.<</talk>>\ The last of your resolve crumbles. Unable to stop yourself, you begin to thrust hard and fast. Eve cries out, her whole body trembling as she experiences a powerful orgasm. The feel of her pussy clamping down around your cock is too much for you and you feel yourself throb. Shoving balls deep inside of her, you feel your cum gush into her, filling her with your seed. You stay like that for maybe a minute, trying to catch your breath. When you finally pull out, Eve simply lays there with a content look on her face, her legs spread lewdly. You can see her pussy twitching occasionally as she experiences small aftershocks of her first orgasm. Tugging your pants back in place, you take a moment to admire the view before you, Eve laying on her back on the counter while Anna holds her hand in both of her own. <<talk "eve">>That was...<</talk>>\ Eve starts breathlessly. <<talk "eve">>... ''So'' much better than rubbing myself with my fingers.<</talk>>\ She finishes with a grin. Both Anna and you look at her in surprise as she giggles. Smiling, you lean forward to give Eve a little kiss before letting the girls get back to work. Leaning forward, you kiss Eve on the forehead then look at Anna. <<talk "anna">>Help her clean up.<</talk>>\ You say before leaving the two girls to their own concerns. <<set $eve.affection += 10>>\ <<set $eve.trust += 10>><<set $eve.fear -= 25>>\ <<set $anna.affection -= 25>>\ <<set $anna.trust -= 10>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 25>><<addtime { minute : 21 }>>\ <<elseif $eve.affection gte 400>>\ Eve approaches the two of you, she looks concerned but composed. When she reaches Anna's side, she places a hand on her sister's arm, "We've talked about this. We've always known it was going to happen. Be happy it's him and not someone else," The last two words are spoken in a whisper. Anna looks down at her sister, sighing heavily as she realizes that this is inevitable. Eve gives her sister a hug, then turns toward you. You can see a wide range of emotion in her eyes, but she does not say a word as she begins to undress before you. Once naked, her hands instinctively move to hide her nudity as she looks up at you. The smell of her arousal is faint in the air. Reaching out, you pick her up and sit her gently on the edge of the counter. Goosebumps break out across her skin as the cold counter top comes in contact with her ass. Unbuckling your pants, your hard cock springs free. Anna makes a small sound of alarm from nearby, but this isn't about her, so you ignore the sound. Eve smiles, but the act only serves to make her seem more uncertain. You lean forward, kissing her lightly on the lips. When you break the kiss, Eve offers a timid smile, though you can tell even that is forced. <<talk "eve">>This isn't how I pictured this happening.<</talk>>\ She begins, trying to be sarcastic but only sounding scared. <<talk "eve">>Please don't hurt me too bad.<</talk>>\ Her voice is small. Glancing at Anna, you can see the older sister on the verge of tears, watching as one of her greatest fears are realized and knowing there is nothing she can do to prevent it. When you look back at Eve, she's trying to look brave. She hesitantly spreads her legs to reveal her perfect little slit, visibly damp with her own arousal. Suddenly Anna is at your side. For a split second you think she is going to push you away, but instead she takes her sister's hand. When she looks at you, its with an expression that begs for you to be gentle with her sister. There is no doubt in your mind that this whole experience will affect your relationship with Anna, deeply. You hold Anna's gaze for a second, then return your attention to Eve. Eve stiffens when the tip of your cock brushes her slit. <<talk "anna">>It's ok.<</talk>>\ Anna says softly. You slide your cock up and down her slit several times in an effort to moisten it with her juices. She starts to relax as she becomes wetter. The sounds Eve is making is a clear indication that she has started to enjoy what you are doing. With one hand, you spread her pussy lips to expose her virgin opening. With your other, you guide your cock to her hole. You ease in the tip until you feel resistance, then pull back again. For several dozen strokes, you fuck her with only the tip of your cock, entering her only deep enough to bump her hymen lightly. It takes several minutes before she finally stops tensing each time. As soon as you feel her start to relax, starting to enjoy the experience, you thrust forward. Eve cries out as you spear the thin barrier that separated you from her virgin pussy. <<talk "anna">>Just let him do what he must.<</talk>>\ Anna is whispering to her sister. <<talk "thought">>Anna's first time was not pleasant. She thinks Eve's will be a bad experience as well.<</talk>>\ You hold yourself deep inside of Eve's child like body, waiting for the pain to pass. Eve's expression slowly eases from being pinched in pain to only mild discomfort. \ [img[images/backgrounds/scenes/eveKitchenSex.png]] \ When you pull back, you watch Eve's expression. Her face pinches slightly, but behind that you can see her analyzing the experience. When your hips move forward again, her expression becomes almost serene. By the time you make your third slow thrust, its clear that she's starting to enjoy herself. Eve's legs wrap around you. Her arms move to encircle her sister, hugging the older woman even as she pulls you deeper into herself. Over the course of several minutes, you increase your pace, always careful to ensure Eve is enjoying herself. <<talk "thought">>She is ''so'' incredibly tight.<</talk>>\ ''You marvel, fighting the urge to cum.'' When you feel yourself getting close, you try to stop in an effort to prolong the inevitable. Eve has other ideas though. <<talk "eve">>Please, don't stop.<</talk>>\ She pleads, her hips moving against you in the most delightful way you can imagine. <<talk "eve">>It feels good.<</talk>>\ The last of your resolve crumbles. Unable to stop yourself, you begin to thrust hard and fast. Eve cries out, her whole body trembling as she experiences a powerful orgasm. The feel of her pussy clamping down around your cock is too much for you and you feel yourself throb. Shoving balls deep inside of her, you feel your cum gush into her, filling her with your seed. You stay like that for maybe a minute, trying to catch your breath. When you finally pull out, Eve simply lays there with a content look on her face, her legs spread lewdly. You can see her pussy twitching occasionally as she experiences small aftershocks of her first orgasm. Tugging your pants back in place, you take a moment to admire the view before you, Eve laying on her back on the counter while Anna holds her hand in both of her own. The two girls' expressions are very different. Anna looks at you with a mixture of anger and betrayal. At the same time Eve has just a faint smile on her lips as she seems to study your face. Leaning forward, you kiss Eve on the forehead then look at Anna <<talk "player">>Help her clean up.<</talk>>\ You say before leaving the two girls to their own concerns. <<set $eve.affection += 1>>\ <<set $eve.trust += 2>>\ <<set $eve.fear -= 5>>\ <<set $anna.affection -= 25>>\ <<set $anna.trust -= 10>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 25>>\ <<addtime { minute : 21 }>>\ <</if>> <<else>>\ <<if $eve.affection gte 700 and $eve.fear lte 500>>\ Eve looks excited as she approaches. She pauses at Anna's side, placing one hand on her sister's arm as she looks up the taller woman. <<talk "eve">>I know you don't like him much, but he's much kinder to you than our former master.<</talk>>\ Eve puts her arms around her sister in a warm hug. <<talk "eve">>And I love him.<</talk>>\ Anna's left with hopeless expression on her face as Eve breaks the hug. Anna looks at you, her eyes pleading for you not to do this. Instead, you turn your gaze to Eve who is approaching you. She smiles shyly up at you, then starts to disrobe, revealing her naked body to you bit by bit. Once naked, she steps close to you, reaching for your belt. Eve's arousal is heavy in the air. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see a horrified look on Anna's face. The moment you feel your cock spring free, her warm hands encircle it. You take hold of her hips and sit her on the counter top as she begins to stroke your member. Your own hand strays between her legs, discovering her pussy is already wet and ready for you. Wasting no time, you shuffle into position. Eve looks down between her legs as she spreads them for you, watching your cock as she guides you to her hole. Pushing forward, you slide slowly into her. You feel Eve's legs wrap around your back, her arms slipping around your neck as she tries to kiss you. She's short enough that she ends up kissing your neck and jaw, but can't quite reach your lips. Uncertainly, Anna moves closer. However you are not sure if its to make sure her sister is ok or if its to watch what is happening. Eve moving her hips against you is enough to refocus your attention exclusively on her. Your thrusts become a steady rhythm. It's not long before your movements are perfectly synchronized, your bodies slapping wetly together. You can just start to feel your own orgasm approaching when Eve suddenly clings tightly to you. Her body trembles in your arms as she cums. Meanwhile you continue thrusting, riding her orgasm as you prepare to join her. She's just starting to grow still in your arms when your cock twitches, filling her pussy with cum. Eve kisses you firmly on the lips, then reluctantly loosens her grip on you. Giving her one last kiss, you step back and pull your pants back in place. From across the kitchen, you can see that Anna has gone back to work. She is pointedly not looking toward you, but you can see tears on her cheeks. Meanwhile, Eve seems oblivious to her sister as she watches you dress yourself. <<talk "player">>You might want to clean yourself up.<</talk>>\ You say softly to Eve, admiring the sight of her naked on the counter, a fresh load of your cum leaking slowly from her freshly used pussy. Eve hops down from the counter, grinning at you as she gathers up her clothes. Anna glares at you as Eve gets back to work. <<set $eve.affection += 1>>\ <<set $eve.fear -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.affection -= 5>>\ <<set $anna.trust -= 5>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 5>>\ <<addtime { minute : 23 }>>\ <<elseif $eve.affection gte 400>>\ Eve approaches the two of you, she looks concerned but composed. When she reaches Anna's side, she places a hand on her sister's arm. <<talk "eve">>We've talked about this. We've always known it was going to happen. Be happy it's him and not someone else.<</talk>>\ The last two words are spoken in a whisper. Anna looks down at her sister, sighing heavily as she realizes that this is inevitable. Anna looks at you, her eyes pleading for you not to do this. Instead, you turn your gaze to Eve who is approaching you. She has a forced smile on her face as she looks up at you, then starts to disrobe, revealing her naked body to you bit by bit. Once naked, she holds her arms over her body, shielding herself from your gaze. You can smell a hint of Eve's arousal in the air. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see a horrified look on Anna's face. Reaching down, you unfasten your belt, opening your pants so your cock can spring free. When your pants fall around your ankles, you pick her up by the hips and sit her down on the counter top. Your hand strays between her legs, feeling her slit. She's not very wet yet, but as you touch her that begins to change. Once she is wet enough to enter, you shuffle forward, sliding your cock up and down her slit once, then lining yourself up with her entrance. Eve looks down, her expression serious as she watches what you are doing. You can see her face scrunch slightly in discomfort as you begin to enter her. There's a sudden movement at your side. You nearly flinch away as Anna quickly rushes toward you. But while you were concerned she was about to attach you she merely moves to your side and takes her sister's hand. <<talk "anna">>It's ok... I'm here with you.<</talk>>\ Eve gives her sister a little smile then looks at you again. Pulling back, you slide forward again, this time she takes a bit more of your length. You begin to rock your hips gently forward and back, each time claiming a bit more of her pussy until you finally feel your balls press against her ass. Leaning forward, you kiss her lightly. She hesitates, but then meets your kiss. There's no love in Eve's eyes, but you can see a growing lust. When Eve starts moving her hips against you groan in pleasure. Your thrusts become a steady rhythm. It's not long before your movements are perfectly synchronized, your bodies slapping wetly together. You can just start to feel your own orgasm approaching when Eve suddenly clings tightly to you. Her body trembles in your arms as she cums. Meanwhile you continue thrusting, riding her orgasm as you prepare to join her. She's just starting to grow still in your arms when your cock twitches, filling her pussy with cum. Eve searches your face as she lays beneath you, a faint smile on her lips. Giving her one last little kiss, you step back and pull your pants back in place. Anna, still clutching her sister's hand in both of hers looks at you, clearly displeased with what you just did. Meanwhile, Eve seems oblivious to her sister as she watches you dress yourself. <<talk "player">>You might want to help clean her up.<</talk>>\ You say softly to Anna, admiring the sight of her sister Eve naked on the counter, a fresh load of your cum leaking slowly from her freshly used pussy. Turning, you leave the girls to clean up the mess and get back to work. <<set $eve.affection -= 5>>\ <<set $eve.fear -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.affection -= 10>>\ <<set $anna.trust -= 2>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 5>>\ <<addtime { minute : 23 }>>\ <</if>>\ <</if>>\ <<run $eve.deleteFlag("virgin")>>\ [[End Scene.|$location]] <<run $eve.cumFilledAttempt("vaginal")>> <<run $eve.pregnancyAttempt($player)>>

Your eyes flicker between the two girls. You aren't sure if its Anna's lack of enthusiasm, or something else, but you suddenly aren't in the mood anymore. <<talk "player">>Never mind, get back to work.<</talk>>\ Anna does as she is told. <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\ [[End Scene.|$location]]

Kitchens

Entering the servant's area, you can hear Anna talking in a soft, kind tone. As the room comes into view, you can see Anna sitting on one of the couches in the room, then another step brings Eve into view. Eve is sitting half in Anna's lap, her head against the other woman's shoulder while Anna holds a book. You can tell that Eve is oblivious to your presence, and from where she is sitting she probably can't see even if she looked your way. Anna on the other hand happens to glance up from the book. <<if $anna.fear gte 650>>\ Anna's expression becomes worried, her voice loosing some of its soft tone as she continues through the next few words. <<elseif $anna.affection lte 300>>\ Anna's expression falters, but she doesn't immediately stop reading to her sister. <<elseif $anna.affection lte 700 and $anna.fear gte 300>>\ Anna's expression doesn't change, but you see her nod slightly in greeting as she continues to read. <<else>>\ Anna's expression brightens slightly at the sight of you.

<<talk "player">>Shouldn't the two of you be getting ready for bed?<</talk>>\ You ask simply. You can see both girls stiffen. Anna's expression becomes carefully composed and Eve turns to look toward you in surprise. <<if $anna.fear gte 750>>\ <<talk "anna">>We were just reading a s-story before bed.<</talk>>\ Anna says by way of explaining what they were doing.

Marking her place in the book, she gives her sister a hug that the younger woman quickly returns. <<talk "anna">>Now, off to bed with you.<</talk>>\ Anna quickly follows her sister out of the room to prepare for bed. <</if>>\ [[End Scene.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>> <<set $anna.affection -= 1>> <<set $anna.fear += 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 1>> <<set $eve.fear += 1>>

<<if $anna.fear lte 650>>\ Stopping where you are standing, you lean against the wall and listen to Anna read to her younger sister.

This scene only appears in the servant's common area in the evenings.

You're sitting on the couch watching a show when you hear the door to the hallway open. Glancing over your shoulder, you see Anna and Eve entering the room. Several things happen at once. You feel a sense of contentment wash over you as you smile. At the same time, Eve grins and a warm smile forms naturally on Anna's lips. <<talk "anna">>May we join you?<</talk>>\ Anna asks softly while Eve plops down on the couch to one side of you. <<talk "player">>Of course, you're both always welcome to join me.<</talk>>\ Anna pauses, looking at the space beside you, then at you before sitting in the spot opposite her sister. Once sitting, she scoots toward you until you feel her hip press against your own Without really pausing to think about it, you put an arm around each of them, giving them both an affectionate little squeeze before turning your attention back to the television. Over the next few minutes, everyone gets settled into the couch, Eve sitting close to you while Anna leans against you from the other side with her head resting on your shoulder. You find yourself simply enjoying their presence and barely even paying attention to the television until one of the male characters tells his friend. @@.a2;"If you love her, let her go. If it's meant to be, it will be."@@ The words resonate with something deep inside of you and the show is once more forgotten as your thoughts turn toward your current circumstances. <<talk "thought">>Technically they are slaves, though I don't treat them like that, and that's not how I see them.<</talk>>\ You can feel her brow furrow. <<talk "thought">>The thought of them not being here makes my heart ache, but at the same time, is it right for me to force them to stay?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Are you ok?<</talk>>\ Anna's voice comes very softly from your side. <<talk "anna">>You seem tense and you look unhappy.<</talk>>\ You can tell from her expression that asking was not easy for her, but the clear concern she feels for you won out over her misgivings about speaking out of turn. [[It's nothing.|Anna and Eve Interactive Scene 5a]] [[Tell them how much you appreciate them.|Anna and Eve Interactive Scene 5b]] [[Offer them their freedom.|Anna and Eve Interactive Scene 5c]] <<addtime { minute : 29 }>>

You give her an affectionate half hug. <<talk "player">>It's nothing.<</talk>>\ You say softly, then kiss her on her brow. Anna smiles, then lays her head back on your shoulder as the three of you continue to watch the show. On your other side, you can see Eve looking at you oddly, as if she's trying to unravel some mystery. A few minutes later however something exciting on the television captures her attention and she redirects scrutiny to what is playing out on the screen. When the show's credits begin to scroll, Eve springs up from where she is sitting beside you. A moment later Anna gets up with much more care, her body moving with a feline grace. Once both girls are standing, you notice that you feel a slight chill where each of them was just pressed against you. Both of them wish you a good night then slip from the living room, leaving you to your thoughts.

<<talk "player">>You two both know that I think the world of you, right?<</talk>>\ You say loud enough to catch Eve's attention as well. Anna smiles, a faint blush touching her cheeks. <<talk "anna">>And we love you.<</talk>>\ Her eyes drift to the ground near her feet as her blush darkens. <<talk "eve">>Yeah, we know you love us, you're our favorite person in the whole world.<</talk>>\ Eve throws her arms around both you and her sister for one big hug. You grin, your arms encircling both of them to return the hug. When you release them, you see Eve opening her mouth to say something, but you quickly cut her off before she has a chance to speak. <<talk "player">>I have something I feel I need to say.<</talk>>\ Maybe it's your tone, but suddenly both girls are looking at you with very serious expressions on their faces. <<talk "player">>You know that I don't view either of you as slaves, right?<</talk>>\ Anna's expression becomes concerned. <<talk "anna">>Have we done something wrong?<</talk>>\ There's worry in her voice. Eve's eyes widen suddenly, sudden panic in her features. <<talk "anna">>I'm sorry, whatever I did, I'm sorry.<</talk>>\ Her voice is just a little too high pitched as she speaks. <<talk "player">>Whoa, neither of you has done anything wrong.<</talk>>\ You pause for several heartbeats as their worry slowly starts to turn to curiosity. <<talk "player">>What I'm trying to say is that you're both people, people that I adore and love, but you aren't my slaves.<</talk>>\ Anna's expression turns to one of confusion, while Eve's becomes unreadable. You sigh, struggling to find the words you need. <<talk "player">>I love you both, and nothing would make me happier than knowing both of you wanted to stay here with me.<</talk>>\ Eve pipes up, clearly confused. <<talk "eve">>On the couch?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>No, in general, this mansion, this estate, with me, in my life.<</talk>>\ You try to clarify. <<talk "player">>But I won't ever force you to stay. If either if you ever wants to leave, let me know and I'll do everything I can to help you start a new life.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Dummy...<</talk>>\ Eve says, sounding suddenly angry. <<talk "eve">>We want to be here with you. You make us happy, why would we want to loose that?<</talk>>\ Crossing her arms over her chest and giving you a stern glare, then worry etches her face when she glances at her sister. Anna's reaction is much different. Her hands grip tightly to your side, nearly painfully. There are tears flowing freely down her cheeks. <<talk "anna">>I don't want to go...<</talk>>\ You barely make out the words. <<talk "anna">>I want to stay. With you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Anna...<</talk>>\ You say her name softly, stroking her cheek affectionately before speaking. <<talk "player">>Nothing would make me happier than the two of you staying.<</talk>>\ Leaning in, you kiss her lightly on the lips, You can taste the salt from the tears that have reached that far. <<talk "player">>I guess what I'm trying to say is this; You're not slaves, you're not servants, you're family. And having the two of you here is what makes this mansion a home. This is as much your home as mine.<</talk>>\ You try to weigh each word carefully as you speak. <<talk "player">>But more important than anything I might feel, I want the two of you to be happy, you're free, I won't keep you here against your will.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Are you stupid?<</talk>>\ Eve's words are sharp, like a slap to the face. <<talk "eve">>We're happy with you!<</talk>>\ She shakes her head in disbelief. <<talk "eve">>Why would you even ''think'' we might want to loose that?<</talk>>\ You take a deep breath, trying to gather your thoughts and realizing that what was supposed to be a simple comment has somehow spiraled out of control into something else. <<talk "player">>Let me try this again; You're both free, I love you both, and this is your home as long as you want it to be.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes narrow as if weighing your words. <<talk "player">>Better, not perfect, but better...<</talk>>\ As she says the words, you can see a smile just starting to tug at the corners of her lips. Turning your head toward Anna, you lean your forehead against hers. <<talk "player">>I didn't mean to upset you.<</talk>>\ You let go of Eve so you can wrap both arms around Anna, holding her close. You can feel Anna take a deep breath, hold it for a second then let it out slowly. Her breath is hot against your chest. You're actually a bit surprised when she pulls back suddenly, her eyes holding a strength that you are not used to seeing. <<talk "anna">>If you want us to leave, we will...<</talk>>\ You can feel your eyes widen slightly at how firm her voice is. <<talk "anna">>But I ''love'' you, ''we'' love you, and there is no place we would rather be.<</talk>>\ She barely even pauses as she forges on. <<talk "anna">>This mansion, it was the place of nightmares before you came here, and you, your kindness, your compassion, it turned those nightmares into a fairytale. It made this house of horrors into a home for us. You gave us our lives, gave us worth, and made us your family.<</talk>>\ The tears begin to flow freely from her eyes now, her voice finally faltering. <<talk "anna">>It hurts my h-heart just to think about leaving y-you. If home is where the heart is...<</talk>>\ Her voice becomes a bare whisper. <<talk "anna">>Then my home is with you.<</talk>>\ For several seconds, you are speechless, unable to form coherent thoughts as you struggle to find the correct response. Lacking any words, you pull her back into your arms and hold her tightly. You don't hold her long before you feel something against your arm, trying to wedge itself between your arm and Anna. Glancing toward the source, you see Eve trying to squeeze her way into the embrace. You happily loosen your grip enough for the younger woman to slip into your embrace as well. The three of you remain like that for a long time, both sisters seemingly content within your embrace. When the show finally ends, Eve wiggles out of your embrace before turning to you. <<talk "eve">>Goodnight ''master''...<</talk>>\ Eve says with a smirk. In your arms, you see Anna smile faintly. <<talk "player">>Goodnight Eve.<</talk>>\ You reply softly. Anna finally stirs at your side, moving to get up. <<talk "anna">>I should go with her.<</talk>>\ Her voice is a little raw. <<talk "anna">>Goodnight.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Goodnight Anna.<</talk>>\ You see Eve take Anna's hand, leading her toward the exit. Within seconds, you are left alone with your thoughts. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if I could have made that any more awkward?<</talk>>\ You think dryly. A few minutes later you sigh, turning off the television and getting up off the couch, your thoughts on how nice it felt to have both of them cuddled up against you on the couch.

Standing in the kitchen, you realize that it's probably not going to be long before the lunch meal will begin to be prepared. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if the girls would enjoy a picnic?<</talk>>\ You talk toward one of the large refrigerators and glance inside. <<talk "thought">>We've got plenty of things that would work for a meal.<</talk>>\ Glancing at the clock, you wonder if you should prepare a lunch for the girls for a change. [[Maybe another time.|Sponsored Scene 1a]] [[Prepare a picnic.|Sponsored Scene 1b]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

<<talk "thought">>Maybe another day.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself, closing the fridge. As you step away from the refrigerator, you idly wonder what the girls will be making you for lunch today. [[Continue.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

A small smile tugs at the corner of your lips. <<talk "player">>Might be nice to show my appreciation for everything they do around here.<</talk>>\ Without any further thought on the subject, you start to pull items from the refrigerator, sitting them on the counter in the order they are pulled. An assortment of meats, cheeses, and vegetables are strewn across the counter top by the time you close the door again. For the next twenty minutes, you work in the kitchen, making an assortment of sandwiches, about a dozen in total. <<talk "thought">>Maybe I got a little carried away.<</talk>>\ Even with that thought on your mind, you turn back to the fridge, pulling several more items from within, bottled water and juice, a platter with small pastries, and several pieces of fruit. You quickly place all of the items together then start looking for something to put the sandwiches in and a basket or similar to carry the lunch. A sound from behind you draws your attention. Anna stands just inside of the kitchen door, her expression pinched with worry. <<talk "anna">>Master, if you wished to have lunch early, all you need to do is ask.<</talk>>\ Eve pokes her head out from behind her sister as she enters the kitchen as well. Unlike her sister, her eyes widen as she looks on curiously. When you see the grin starting to spread on her face you have little doubt that she just figured out your intent for all of the food even if her sister has not. <<talk "player">>Eve, can you go find a blanket, nothing too nice, it's going to get dirty.<</talk>>\ Your eyes move from the younger sister to her older counterpart. <<talk "player">>Anna, is there some kind of basket I can use? Something with handles?<</talk>>\ A happy giggle accompanied by retreating footsteps announces Eve's exit to go find a blanket for your picnic. Anna in contrast looks even more confused than before. <<talk "anna">>Certainly.<</talk>>\ She says, moving toward one side of the kitchen. She opens a cupboard and withdraws a large basket, easily large enough to hold all of the food you have sitting on the counter. It's not until she's nearly reached the place you are wrapping sandwiches that she seems to realize what is happening. <<talk "anna">>A picnic?<</talk>>\ Her voice is cautious. <<talk "player">>Yeah! It's a nice day, and I thought it might be nice to have a lunch outside with you guys.<</talk>>\ You reply happily. Anna's eyes flicker between the food and you. <<talk "anna">>If you wanted to have a picnic, I'd have gladly prepared it.<</talk>>\ You can't help but smile just a little bit. <<talk "player">>And spoil the look on your face right now?<</talk>>\ A bit of color touches her cheeks as she blushes lightly, her eyes turning downcast as if that will somehow hide her reaction. For a second, she seems uncertain of what to do or say, but then she smiles, a genuine smile that touches her eyes. <<talk "anna">>Thank you <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ You see Anna lick her lips, you can tell from her expression that she is trying to figure out what she should say next. She's saved by Eve bursting into the room with an unfolded blanket grasped in her arms. <<talk "thought">>Can she even see around that thing? And isn't that a blanket from one of the bedrooms?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Let's go have a picnic!<</talk>>\ Eve cries out in an excited tone. <<talk "anna">>Eve! That blanket is not suitable for this!<</talk>>\ Anna says in sudden alarm. <<talk "thought">>I think she just ran to the nearest bedroom and grabbed the blanket off of the bed!<</talk>>\ Before Eve can say anything in her own defense, you comment around your growing smile. <<talk "player">>It will be fine.<</talk>>\ Anna takes a deep breath. <<talk "anna">>At least fold it up so you don't trip over it.<</talk>>\ Then she turns to the counter and starts to pack the basket. You try a couple of times to help, but every item you try to sit in the basket gets moved as she rearranges the contents. Eventually you give up, stepping back as the two girls finish packing everything. <<talk "thought">>At least I can carry the basket.<</talk>>\ You think, snatching the basket up before Anna can grab it. <<talk "player">>Shall we?"<</talk>>\ You ask. <<talk "eve">>We shall!<</talk>>\ Eve replies triumphantly. Gesturing for the girls to lead, you follow them out of the mansion and into the back yard. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 1c]] <<addtime { minute : 28 }>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

Once out the back door of the mansion, you start to walk toward the treeline. <<talk "thought">>Should be able to find a nice shaded place overlooking the estate from there.<</talk>>\ Eve is a barely restrained bundle of energy, and Anna quickly takes the blanket from her sister to carry. Both girls follow along, not asking where you are taking them. <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 150>>\ Out of the corner of your eye you see Anna moving so that she is walking closer to you, a faint smile on her lips. <<else>>\ Beside you, you can see Anna matching your pace, walking close but not too close. There's a thoughtful expression on her face. <</if>>\ <<if $eve.affection gte 800 and $eve.fear lte 250>>\ Eve half runs, half dances around you and her sister, clearly excited about getting to have a picnic. The smile that's spread across her face proves infectious and it's not long before you have a matching grin on your own face. <<else>>\ Just a little bit off to your side, Eve skips along, keeping pace with you and her sister. <</if>>\ When you near the treeline, you glance back toward the mansion, letting your eyes lazily drift over the estate grounds between you and your home. <<talk "thought">>It's actually quite a striking view, the yard with the mansion a ways off, the sun high in the sky on a bright day like today.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>This looks like a good spot.<</talk>>\ Anna nods, unfolding the blanket and laying it on the ground. You can see a hint of concern in her expression as she looks at the blanket. <<talk "thought">>She's still worried about getting it dirty.<</talk>>\ Taking the picnic basket out, you sit it in the center of the blanket then open the picnic basket. Eve runs around in a big circle, arms spread to her sides as she does so. She doesn't seem to have any destination in mind, but when she sees a bright orange butterfly, her trajectory quickly changes to intercept the pretty insect. By the time you return your attention to the picnic basket, you realize that Anna has nearly finished unpacking it. You quickly move to help her with the last of it, feeling a little sheepish that you had planned to do a nice lunch with the girls, and Anna still ends up doing a lot of the work. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 1d]] <<addtime { minute : 24}>> ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

Once the meal is all laid out on the blanket, Anna calls for Eve to join you. The younger sister reluctantly gives up her pursuit of the elusive butterfly and starts back toward the blanket with significantly less enthusiasm, even if her smile remains the same. Upon her arrival, food is passed around and all three of you settle into casual conversation as you eat your meals. When all of you are finally finished eating, Eve starts to excuse herself, presumably to resume her pursuit of the butterfly from earlier, assuming she can even find it again. Anna starts to gather up the leftovers on the blanket and put everything back into the basket.

Leaning back, you rest on one elbow as you watch Eve run off into the large yard between the treeline and the mansion. <<talk "thought">>Where does she get all that energy?<</talk>>\ You wonder, amused as you watch her frolic about the yard. You watch her for quite a while before you become aware of Anna close by. <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 200>>\ Turning your gaze to your side, you see Anna sprawled across the blanket in a similar pose to yourself. Anna's eyes are on you, watching you closely. <<talk "thought">>She looks happy.<</talk>>\ She scoots just a little closer to you, her shoulder touching yours lightly before she turns her attention toward Eve running about the field nearby. <<talk "thought">>Come to think of it.<</talk>>\ Your gaze follows Anna's toward Eve. <<talk "thought">>I think I'm happy too.<</talk>>\ Sitting up beside her, Anna's attention shifts back to you. You reach out, taking her hand affectionately in your own. She looks at her hand, seeming unsure. Slowly a smile begins to form on her lips and she sits up beside you. Scooting just a little closer, you feel her side press against yours. With your free hand you slip your arm around her middle, lightly hugging her to your side. <<else>>\ When you turn your gaze to your side, you see Anna sitting on the blanket near you, close enough to touch if you wanted to reach out toward her. She seems to sense your attention, her eyes turning to you. You can see something, just shy of a smile on her lips. <<talk "thought">>She looks happy.<</talk>>\ After a couple of seconds, her eyes drift back toward her sister running about the field nearby. <<talk "thought">>Come to think of it.<</talk>>\ Your gaze follows Anna's toward Eve. <<talk "thought">>I think I'm happy too.<</talk>>\ Sitting up beside her, Anna's attention shifts back to you. <</if>>\ <<talk "player">>I like these little moments.<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you curiously. <<talk "anna">>What do you mean?<</talk>>\ Her voice is just a little timid, clearly uncertain of what you mean. <<talk "player">>Look at your sister.<</talk>>\ You begin, Anna does as she is told. <<talk "player">>See how happy she is, how full of life every moment is for her.<</talk>>\ As if to make your point, Eve twirls in a circle, giggling with her arms spread wide to her sides. <<talk "player">>And you...<</talk>>\ There's curiosity in Anna's eyes as they return to yours. <<talk "player">>You seem to have a contentment about you, like for this one moment all is right in the world.<</talk>>\ You can see her brow knit with concern. <<talk "thought">>Maybe I could have phrased that better.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I really like seeing you happy.<</talk>>\ She blushes slightly, her eyes turning away from you to seek out her sister again. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>! Come here!<</talk>>\ Eve calls, breaking the little tableau between you and Anna. Not waiting for you to respond, Eve is already running toward you. The moment she reaches your side, she reaches down to take one of your hands, trying to pull you to your feet. You humor her and allow her to pull you up off of the blanket. <<talk "eve">>Catch me!<</talk>>\ She cries out, releasing your hand and taking off at a run in the same instant. Instinctively you do exactly that, your longer legs quickly closing the distance between you. When you reach her, you sweep her off of her feet and into your arms. She squeals and giggles. For a little while you play with Eve, chasing her across the gentle hills, or being chased. Occasionally you look toward Anna to see her watching you and Eve with a wistful smile on her face. When you finally make your way back to the blanket, you're breathless. Anna in spite of watching the two of you has somehow packed up the lack of the lunch and is ready to head back to the house. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, thank you for having a picnic with us, it was a lot of fun.<</talk>>\ Eve says, skipping along beside you. You're a little surprised that Eve thought to thank you first. <<talk "anna">>Yes, thank you. This was a very pleasant surprise.<</talk>>\ Anna says from your other side. Nearing the house, Anna hands Eve the blanket and asks her to go start a load of laundry. You carry the picnic basket to the kitchen where you and Anna unpack it before you excuse yourself.

Before you can utter a word, Eve is dashing off toward the fields between where you are sitting and the mansion. Leaning back, you sprawl across the blanket before glancing toward Eve. <<talk "thought">>That girl is an endless source of energy.<</talk>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 200>>\ Turning your gaze to your side, you see Anna sprawled across the blanket in a similar pose to yourself.

She waits as if anticipating some action from you. It's only then that you notice how close her hand is to your own. You only have to move your hand a fraction of an inch for your fingertips to come in contact with hers. <</if>>\ Unfortunately the moment passes as Eve charges back to the blanket, breathing heavily from exertion and sporting a massive grin on her face. When Anna starts to gather up the last of the leftovers into the picnic basket, you feel compelled to assist. It's not long before everything is packed and the three of you are making the trek back toward the mansion. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, thank you for having a picnic with us, it was a lot of fun.<</talk>>\ Eve says, skipping along beside you.

Eve has only managed to take a couple of steps before the sound of your voice brings her up short. <<talk "player">>Would you ladies like to take a walk with me?<</talk>>\ You ask, glancing toward the wooded area nearby with a meaningful look. Anna looks at the trees for a long moment, you watch as her eyes scan the area, taking in the way slivers of light pierce the trees to create little points of light on the ground. It's Eve who breaks the growing silence. <<talk "anna">>We were never allowed in the woods... before.<</talk>>\ Her voice holds a kind of reverence. <<talk "player">>We don't have to if you don't want to.<</talk>>\ You tell the two girls. <<talk "player">>I just thought it would be nice to take a little walk, see where one of these trails go.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I would like to walk with you.<</talk>>\ Anna says slowly. <<if $eve.affection gte 750 and $eve.fear lte 150>>\ Eve grins. <<talk "eve">>It's like an adventure.<</talk>>\ She says softly to herself, moving close to you to take your hand. <<else>>\ Eve's eyes flicker between you and the nearest trail, her excitement at the prospect of exploring the woods clear in her eyes even if she doesn't say a word. <</if>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 900 and $anna.fear lte 50>>\ Anna steps close to your side, the back of her hand brushing the back of yours. You can sense a little tension in her, an uncertainty, though you are unsure of what might have her on edge. Her breathing pauses as you take her hand, your fingers intertwining with hers. She takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly as the tension seems to go out of her. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 200>>\ Anna moves close to you, clearly wanting to be close by your side when the walk begins. You can sense a little tension in her, an uncertainty, though you are unsure of what might have her on edge. <<else>>\ Taking a couple of steps toward Anna, she looks over at you uncertainly. <<talk "thought">>Is it something about me, or is it something else that has her on edge<</talk>>\ <</if>>\ As you begin to walk down a nearby trail, you take in your surroundings. Old growth trees, abundant wildlife, and a well traveled trail all serve to make the atmosphere feel romantic to you. Eve's eyes wander everywhere, trying to take in everything at once with a child like wonder. Anna on the other hand seems uncomfortable, moving a little closer to your side as the three of you walk. Glancing at Anna, you see her expression pinched, clearly troubled by something. <<talk "player">>You ok?<</talk>>\ You ask softly. <<talk "anna">>I'm f-fine.<</talk>>\ She says, her voice faltering in the middle of what she says. <<talk "player">>You're not fine, what's wrong?<</talk>>\ Anna shakes her head but doesn't reply. <<talk "eve">>Crap...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Eve, time to head back.<</talk>>\ You call to Eve who's managed to continue down the trail a little further. Eve turns toward the two of you, you can see the defiance in her expression and can almost hear her protests before she opens her mouth. But then her eyes fall on her sister and her defiance instantly turns to something more serious. <<talk "eve">>Ok.<</talk>>\ She replies, hurrying back toward you and her sister. You put an arm around Anna, and in turn she clutches to your side tightly. The three of you make your way out of the wooded area in almost near silence. It's not until you step back into the open that Anna starts to relax again. <<talk "anna">>I'm sorry.<</talk>>\ She says softly at your side. <<talk "anna">>Nothing to be sorry about.<</talk>>\ You reply, concerned after the little episode. <<talk "anna">>I ruined your walk.<</talk>>\ She insists. <<talk "player">>No harm. It was just an excuse to spend some time with you and your sister.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I should get back to work.<</talk>>\ Anna says suddenly, eyes downcast as she slips free of your arm. You're ready to press further, to demand answers, but before you can take a single step you feel Eve's hand grasp your own. You're ready to break free of Eve's grip, but then you see the look in her eyes, a concern that matches your own. You take a deep breath, letting it out slowly as you watch Anna gather up the last of the picnic items and start toward the house. <<talk "eve">>She'll be ok, she just needs a minute.<</talk>>\ There's a sage quality to Eve's words, or maybe it's just the way she says them. <<talk "player">>What was that about?<</talk>>\ You ask Eve when Anna is out of ear shot. Eve watches her sister for a second longer then looks at you. <<talk "eve">>When your great uncle owned us, girls who went into the woods didn't come back.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>It would have been nice to know that ''before'' I dragged them both into the woods.<</talk>>\ You think with a chill. <<talk "eve">>But I don't know if that's what was bothering her.<</talk>>\ Looking at Eve. <<talk "player">>If that's not what was bothering her, what was?<</talk>>\ A sad sort of smile finds it's way onto Eve's lips. <<talk "eve">>I think mostly Anna just doesn't know how to be happy.<</talk>>\ She meets your eyes with a meaningful look. <<talk "eve">>And I think you make her happy.<</talk>>\ The gravity of Eve's words sink in slowly. <<talk "thought">>How did someone so little become so insightful?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Thanks for explaining that to me.<</talk>>\ You say through your growing amusement. <<talk "eve">>You owe me one.<</talk>>\ She says, her tone deadpan. <<talk "eve">>And I'm collecting now.<</talk>>\ Your eyebrow raises. <<talk "thought">>I almost feel like I'm being hustled now.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Pick me up.<</talk>>\ When you don't immediately respond, she adds. <<talk "eve">>You're giving me a piggy back ride back to the house.<</talk>>\ You can't help but smile. You glance to where Anna is already half way back to the house, then pick Eve up, hoisting her onto your shoulders. Once Eve is nestled on your shoulders, her thighs wrapped tightly around your neck and your hands holding her ankles while she holds onto your chin with both hands, you start back toward the mansion. Eve lets out a delighted whoop, causing Anna to turn toward you as she nears the mansion. She's still quite a ways away, but you think you can see a smile on her face at the sight of you bounding over the hills in her general direction, her little sister holding on while giggling and shrieking like a deranged jockey. When you finally reach the mansion, you sit Eve on the ground. The only thanks you get for your effort is a toothy grin before Eve runs off to return to her chores. Not sure if Anna might want to talk, or even if she's still there, you wander toward the kitchen under the pretense of wanting to help clean up after the picnic.

Starts in Kitchen

It's not long after lunch when you notice Anna walking your way with a concerned look on her face. Anna stops directly in front of you, then seems to fidget uncertainly before she speaks. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, I...<</talk>>\ ''She fidgets, unable to meet your eyes.'' <<talk "thought">>Something's wrong. It's been a long time since she's been like this around me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Eve's missing.<</talk>>\ There's a finality to her tone that makes your blood run cold. Before you even think to talk, you step forward and put your arms around her in a comforting embrace. When you finally think to speak you ask the only thing you can think of, <<talk "player">>Where'd she go?<</talk>>\ Even as you ask the question, you know that if she had the answer, she'd have never have come to you like this if she had the answer. <<talk "anna">>I don't know. I thought s-she was going to take care of her chores after breakfast, and I haven't seen her since.<</talk>>\ ''You can see her lip quiver as she speaks.'' You ask the obvious question first, though you're sure you already know the answer. <<talk "player">>You've looked around, made sure she's not just playing somewhere?<</talk>>\ Against your chest, you can feel her shake her head before mumbling. <<talk "anna">>No, she wouldn't. Where could she have gone, what could have happened to her?<</talk>>\ For a few seconds you think, trying to find the answer to her question. Finally you have to relent and face the situation as it stands right now. <<talk "player">>Ok, where have you looked then? We've got to start somewhere, and standing here isn't finding her.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I searched the mansion and checked the yard.<</talk>>\ She says, pulling out of your embrace. You can see in her eyes the certainty that you will be able to locate her wayward sister. <<talk "player">>Ok, lets give the mansion one more search. If she doesn't turn up, we'll start checking the yard for any indication of where she might have gone. You start in the servant's area and I'll start in the basement, we can meet back here in a few minutes.<</talk>>\ ''You say half to yourself as a simple plan finishes falling into place.'' Anna gives a firm nod, then nearly runs for the stairs. Feeling a sense of urgency yourself, you find yourself jogging toward the stairs to the basement. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 2a]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

As you search the lower floors of the mansion, you can hear Anna's voice calling out for her sister, your own calls going unanswered as well. When you meet back up with Anna again, there's just a hint of panic in her eyes. <<talk "player">>So, she's not in the mansion, I'll head out front and you can check the back yard. I'll meet you back there in a couple of minutes.<</talk>>\ ''Your voice is more certain than you actually feel.'' A few minutes later when you round the side of the house, you see Anna standing in the back yard. Even at a distance you can see the frantic look in her eyes. When she sees you, she pivots toward you. Instead of looking at you though, she looks past you with hope in her eyes. That hope however is quickly replaced by a new wave of panic when she does not see Eve with you. Anna wrings her hands as the fear in her eyes threaten to overwhelm her, her lips parting as she makes a sound like a wounded animal. You pick up your pace and nearly run to her. <<talk "player">>Anna...<</talk>>\ You say softly as you put your arms around her in a gesture you hope she finds comforting. <<talk "player">>Anna, she's here, we just have to figure out where. This estate is designed to be hard to get out of, it's not like she's off the grounds. We just need to figure out where she went.<</talk>>\ You can feel her nod against your chest, her body trembling. <<talk "player">>Now, is there anywhere else she might have gone? Has she said something that might clue us in on where she may have gone?<</talk>>\ You try to keep your voice calm, but having Anna in near hysterics isn't helping. <<talk "player">>What was that?<</talk>>\ You ask her after Anna mumbles something, unable to make out whatever she just said. <<talk "anna">>Forest. A-after our picnic, s-she said she wanted to s-see more of the f-forest.<</talk>>\ You take a deep breath, trying to shut out Anna's panic long enough to form a plan. A moment later, you let out the breath slowly. <<talk "player">>Ok, that's where we look next.<</talk>>\ You know it's not much as far as plans go, but it's all you can think of at the moment. A small part of you wants to leave Anna behind, but with the way she is clinging to you, you know that's not an option. <<talk "player">>Lets go.<</talk>>\ You say, starting toward the treeline at a brisk walk. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 2b]] <<addtime { minute : 6 }>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

When you reach the shade of the trees, very close to where you had your picnic, you finally see your first clue. <<talk "thought">>A fish, and some nuts?<</talk>>\ You find the small pile of items strange, not sure what purpose they might have. Leaning down, the fish seems to have been skewered by something, a hole torn in it's middle, but otherwise undamaged. <<talk "thought">>This doesn't look like the fish from the house either.<</talk>>\ Anna hovers over you, one hand touching your back as if she's scared you might vanish at any second. <<talk "player">>This isn't from the house, and the nuts were likely gathered from the woods here.<</talk>>\ You begin. <<talk "thought">>What the hell is going on here?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Lets follow the trail for a bit, see if we can't find any more clues as to where she might have gone.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Apple...<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is uneven as she speaks. You turn toward her, ready to ask her what she means, but when you do she has her free arm outstretched, pointing at a place not far away. Under one of the trees, where the grassy ground begins to turn to moss and dirt, you see an apple core laying on the ground. <<talk "player">>See...<</talk>>\ You say, noticing that the apple core doesn't look very old. <<talk "player">>She just went into the woods to do a little exploring, she probably doesn't even realize that she's been gone long enough to worry anyone.<</talk>>\ When she takes the first few steps toward the little trail, Anna nearly pulls you in her wake. After a few steps you finally manage to match her pace as the two of you walk briskly down the trail. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 2c]] <<addtime { minute : 8 }>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

The two of you walk for several minutes, either Anna or yourself calling out Eve's name every few seconds in the hopes of hearing a response. When you reach a small creek, a simple wooden bridge stretching over it, you pause. Anna turns, looking at you as you do so. <<talk "thought">>Bridge suggests that these woods were used, likely by my Uncle at one point in time.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>The trail branches.<</talk>>\ You say, seeing the trail split just the other side of the bridge. Your eyes scan both directions, to the right, there appears to be an opening in the forest somewhere ahead, making the trail in that direction quite a bit brighter than the other. In contrast, while no darker than where you are standing, the other branch looks dark and foreboding. ''Nodding toward the lighter stretch of trail.'' <<talk "player">>Lets try this way.<</talk>>\ Anna offers no protest as the two of you continue down the trail. It's only a short distance before the trail opens up into a small field, the field dominated by a large pond. You pause, momentarily forgetting that you're looking for Eve as you take in the sight before you. The grassy field slopes downward toward the water, turning to a golden shade of sand just a few feet short of the water's edge. There's an old dock, clearly weathered but in good repair reaching out into the water and a small shed not far from where the dock meets land. Hanging on the side of the shed is a small boat, only big enough to hold two or three, but somehow fitting to the size of the pond. <<talk "anna">>Eve!<</talk>>\ The sound is a breathless whisper, holding more relief than you've ever heard in your life. Hearing that sound come from Anna's lips makes you want to weep for joy. You turn your gaze to follow Anna's. What you see leaves you speechless in surprise. [[Continue.|Sponsored Scene 2d]] <<addtime { minute : 11 }>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

Across the pond from where you're standing, you can see Eve standing in some tall grass. It's clear from the way she moves her hands and the expression on her face that she's speaking animatedly even though you can't hear what is being said at this distance. The thing that surprises you however is who she is talking to. There's a woman standing a short distance away from Eve, her skin a dark shade of brown and her hair is a tangled mess. With the exception of a belt around her middle with a few small items hanging off of it, and what looks like a makeshift spear in her hand, she also appears to be completely naked. <<talk "anna">>Who is she?<</talk>>\ ''Anna asks very softly.'' You aren't sure if she was expecting an answer or not, but you find yourself replying anyway. <<talk "player">>I have absolutely no idea...<</talk>>\ Your eyes never leave the athletic woman. [[Try to get closer for a better look.|Sponsored Scene 2e]] [[Call out to Eve.|Sponsored Scene 2f]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\ ''Scene generously sponsored by Matty.''

Anna looks ready to call out, but you stop her before she can make a sound. <<talk "player">>Shhhh, lets see if we can get closer, try to figure out who she is.<</talk>>\ She looks uncertain, but she nods, deferring to your judgment. The two of you begin to walk around the pond, choosing a rout that will keep you behind the ebony skinned woman. You're close enough to hear Eve talking, and notice that the other woman hasn't said anything yet, when the stranger tenses suddenly. Her head swivels from side to side, then locks on you. In a split second, the woman lifts her spear and draws back. Your eyes widen in alarm at the same moment that Eve cries out. <<talk "anna">>No!<</talk>>\ The woman pauses, her eyes flickering between you and Eve. <<talk "eve">>He's nice.<</talk>>\ ''Eve says as she puts herself between you and the other woman.'' You're close enough to see the woman clearly, and there's confusion in her eyes. She makes an angry grunt as she starts to raise the spear again. Then follows it with a whining sound when Eve yells @@.a1;"No!"@@ at the woman. <<talk "player">>If we're going to be friends, you can't hurt my master!<</talk>>\ ''There's a fire in Eve's voice that both surprises you and makes you feel fiercely proud to have earned such loyalty that she would feel compelled to protect you.'' <<talk "player">>Eve, are you ok?<</talk>>\ You ask, your eyes never leaving the strange woman. You feel Anna's hand slip from your own, and she rushes to Eve. The stranger takes a few steps to one side, you aren't sure if it's to keep you in her line of sight as Anna rushes forward, or if she just doesn't want Anna to get close to her. Either way, she accomplishes both. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, come meet my new friend!<</talk>>\ Eve says cheerfully, as if the new ''friend'' if hers wasn't holding a spear and staring hate at you. Taking a deep breath, you choose your next words carefully. <<talk "player">>Maybe if your friend puts down her spear, we can have a talk.<</talk>>\ About this time, Anna reaches her sister, falling to her knees as she embraces her sibling. The stranger makes another sound, half grunt, half whine, then starts stepping slowly toward the treeline. <<talk "thought">>Where did she come from? I know this estate is big, but I thought it was completely walled off.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Ma'am, where did you come from?<</talk>>\ You try to ask, but as you speak to her there's a growing panic in the stranger's eyes. <<talk "player">>If you put that spear down, we might be able to help you.<</talk>>\ ''You try to reassure her.'' <<talk "eve">>See Gaia! I told you he wasn't scary, he's nice.<</talk>>\ Eve says around her sister's embrace. <<talk "player">>Gaia is her name?<</talk>>\ Gaia's eyes dart between Eve and you one more time, growls at you deep in her throat as she brandishes her spear at you. You hold your empty hands out, trying to look as nonthreatening as you can. The woman's growl becomes frustrated, then she pivots and runs for the trees, vanishing in seconds from your view. As soon as she's gone, you make your way toward Anna and Eve, watching where the woman ran into the trees the whole time. <<talk "player">>You're ok?<</talk>>\ It's only half a question. The innocent bewilderment in Eve's eyes as she looks at where Gaia went leaves you certain that she was not harmed in any way.

<<talk "player">>Eve!<</talk>>\ You call out, concerned for her safety. Two things happen at once. Eve lights up, a broad smile forming on her lips when she sees you and Anna. At the same time, the ebony woman springs into motion, putting herself between you and Eve while raising her spear protectively. Without conscious thought, you begin to run toward the pair, feeling an urgent need to protect Eve from this stranger. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>!<</talk>>\ ''Eve squeals happily.'' A look of confusion crosses the stranger's face as Eve deftly darts around her to head toward you and Anna. The woman reaches out quickly, grabbing Eve by the arm and trying to pull her back to herself. As you get closer, the stranger starts to look worried, skittish like an animal that knows it's about to be trapped. Your pace slows, concerned about the spear and not wanting to provoke anything rash from the woman. In the same instant that you slow, Anna rushes past you. <<talk "thought">>I didn't even realize she was running too.<</talk>>\ ''Toward her sister.'' The stranger shifts her grip on the spear, her eyes locked on your own as she begins to raise it. <<talk "eve">>No!<</talk>>\ Eve's voice rings out like shrill thunder. The stranger's head whips around toward Eve, her expression confused but no less concerned. <<talk "eve">>He's my master! He's nice! And you'll be nice to him too if you want to be friends with me!<</talk>>\ You're a bit taken back at the fire in Eve's words, but the stranger's reaction is like she's been slapped in the face. The tip of the stranger's spear lowers slightly and she makes a sound that makes you think of a wounded animal. The sound trails off as Anna reaches her sister, scoping up her sibling in a hug and taking several rapid steps away from the dark skinned woman. <<talk "thought">>Where did she come from? I know this estate is big, but I thought it was completely walled off.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Ma'am, where did you come from?<</talk>>\ You try to ask, but as you speak to her there's a growing panic in the stranger's eyes. <<talk "player">>If you put that spear down, we might be able to help you.<</talk>>\ ''You try to reassure her.'' <<talk "eve">>See Gaia!

The innocent bewilderment in Eve's eyes as she looks at where Gaia went leaves you certain that she was not harmed in any way.

You feel a wave of emotion, like a dam broke and spilled it's contents in one massive rush. Taking a deep breath, you realize that your hands are trembling slightly. With half an eye on the treeline in case the strange woman returns, you begin to speak with a bit more anger in your tone than you intend. <<talk "player">>What is ''wrong'' with you? You had us worried, you wandered off without telling anyone where you were going, and then we find you some woman swinging around a spear like a lunatic!<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Gaia isn't a lunatic, she's just scared of you...<</talk>>\ Eve states simply, as if those words should explain everything. Your mind races for what to say. <<talk "player">>Why would she be scared of me? I don't even know who she is.<</talk>>\ You ask, the anger in your voice quickly being replaced by confusion. <<talk "eve">>I'm not sure. She doesn't talk.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>What do you mean, she doesn't talk?<</talk>>\ Anna asks, finally releasing her sister from the lingering embrace. Eve shrugs. <<talk "eve">>I don't know, she just kind of makes sounds instead of talking. It's pretty neat.<</talk>>\ Something about what she said prompts you to ask. <<talk "player">>Explain yourself.<</talk>>\ A hint of heat enters your voice. Your tone seems to sober Eve's mood slightly. <<talk "eve">>I'm sorry I wandered off. I didn't realize I had been gone so long this time.<</talk>>\ She says softly, seeming to ponder the ground at her feet. <<talk "player">>This time?<</talk>>\ You ask, feeling your anger well up that she would have done this before and never told you about it. Eve takes a deep breath, clearly considering what to say. <<talk "eve">>I suppose you'd like me to start at the beginning?<</talk>>\ She looks up, meeting your eyes. <<talk "player">>That would be nice.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I was near the woods a few days ago. I had a couple of apples. I ate one and sat the other one down. When I went to get it later the apple was gone and there was a stack of pine cones where I left it, I went and got more apples. I saw her that time, she gave me two squirrels for a bag of apples that time. She was scared of me at first, but today she wanted me to follow her, so I did. She brought me here. I talked to her and we played a little, can you believe that she fishes with her spear? It's amazing!<</talk>>\ ''Every word seems to come faster than the last until they are nearly tripping over one another.'' <<talk "eve">>She's nice, but she's weird...<</talk>>\ She says around a grin. <<talk "eve">>Who fishes with a spear, right?<</talk>>\ The conversation remains a little tense for a bit longer, but eventually Anna's happiness at finding her sister along with Eve's seemingly being unconcerned about the strange woman she had just been with, starts to ease your anxiety. <<talk "thought">>If this other girl meant any harm, she could have hurt one of us. Instead she ran away.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself, not really listening to Eve talking animatedly with her sister. <<talk "thought">>Who is she though? Where did she come from? And if she lives out here, on the property, what am I going to do about her?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, Can we stay out here for a little while? I //really// like it here. Can we stay out here for a little while? I ''really'' like it here.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice cuts through your train of thought.

You feel a wave of emotion, like a dam broke and spilled it's contents in one massive rush. Taking a deep breath, you realize that your hands are trembling slightly. With half an eye on the treeline in case the strange woman returns, you look at Eve, feeling relief in your chest that Eve is ok even as your gut twists with worry about this unexpected stranger lurking on the property, <<talk "player">>You're ok? You're not hurt? The stranger didn't do anything to you? You had us worried, you wandered off without telling anyone where you were going!<</talk>>\ Your words come in a rush, and while you can detect a hint of heat in your words, you know that it's born of relief at having found Eve ok. <<talk "eve">>Gaia is nice, she wouldn't hurt me, she's just scared of you.<</talk>>\ ''Eve states simply, as if those words should explain everything.'' Your mind races for what to say. <<talk "player">>Why would she be scared of me?

Your tone seems to sober Eve's mood slightly. <<talk "eve">>I'm sorry I wandered off, I didn't realize I had been gone so long this time.<</talk>>\ She says softly, seeming to ponder the ground at her feet. <<talk "player">>This time? So you've seen her before, but never saw fit to tell me that there's a stranger on the property? One who might be dangerous?<</talk>>\ You ask, you want to wrap Eve in a protective hug, but you resist the urge. Eve takes a deep breath, clearly considering what to say. <<talk "eve">>I suppose you'd like me to start at the beginning?<</talk>>\ She looks up, meeting your eyes. <<talk "player">>That would be nice...<</talk>>\ You reply, not bothering to mention that you'd suggested exactly that moments before. <<talk "eve">>I was near the woods a few days ago.

Your tone turns cold as you kneel in front of Eve. <<talk "player">>You're in big trouble.<</talk>>\ Eve's expression falls, finally seeming to realize that she's in trouble. <<talk "player">>You run off, you worry your sister sick, and you worried me as well. We didn't know where you went or what had happened to you.<</talk>>\ ''You pause only long enough to let your words sink in before continuing.'' <<talk "player">>We are going back to the mansion now, and you're going to think about what you did and why it was wrong. When we get there, I'm going to spank your little ass until you can't sit. The only reason I don't do it here is because I want you to have to think about it all the way home.<</talk>>\ Out of the corner of your eye, you can see that Anna's expression has become carefully composed, though you think you can see just a hint of concern in her eyes. You take a deep breath, then let it out slowly. <<talk "player">>I care about you, your sister cares about you, and we don't want to see you hurt. You need to let us know when you're going when you go somewhere, and you have to be careful around strangers because some people would hurt you." <<talk "eve">>I know...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Let's go.<</talk>>\ You state, taking hold of Eve's hand in your own then doing the same with Anna. The three of you walk in silence to the house, Both you and Anna watching the trees around you while Eve sulks. Half way home, you think to ask. <<talk "player">>You called her Gaia, if she doesn't talk, how do you know her name?<</talk>>\ Eve walks a couple more paces before answering. <<talk "eve">>I named her that. I think she likes it.<</talk>>\ There's a hint of pride in her voice as she says the last bit. After the short exchange, the silence between the three of you only seems to grow deeper. Once back at the house, you swat Eve's bottom hard enough to make your hand sting, then send her off to work on her chores with a few stern words. Afterwards, Anna excuses herself to return to her own chores, though you strongly suspect she plans to seek out her sister first. With a heavy sigh, you return your thoughts to the naked ebony woman from the woods, wondering once more what you should do about her. <<talk "thought">>Should I try to do what Eve was doing? Bring her apples or other things in the hopes of earning her trust? Should I just ignore her and hope she leaves us alone in turn? Or should I try to remove her from the property some way?<</talk>>\ With no clear solution in mind, you return your thoughts to things you ''can' do something about at the moment.

Reluctantly you reply. <<talk "player">>We can stay for a while, but if either of you sees that girl again, you tell me right away.<</talk>>\ You can see Anna's expression take on a defeated quality even as Eve lets out a happy squeal. <<talk "player">>Stay close!<</talk>>\ You holler as Eve takes off at a run. You and Anna follow Eve, though the younger woman barely makes an effort to slow her pace. After a couple of minutes, the three of you find yourselves near the dock. Eve is already playing near the water when you arrive. She looks up from the pile of sand she's making and asks. <<talk "eve">>Can I swim?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>We don't know how clean the water is, or what lives in it... And besides, you don't have a swim suit with you, do you?<</talk>>\ Eve pouts. <<talk "eve">>But Gaia drank the water here, so it must be ok.<</talk>>\ You let out an exaggerated sigh. <<talk "player">>No swimming this time.<</talk>>\ Turning to Anna. <<talk "player">>Keep an eye on her and don't let her wander. I want to take a peek in this shed.<</talk>>\ ''She looks concerned, but she offers no protest.'' It only takes you a few paces to reach the shed. The windows are dirty, making it difficult to see inside, and the gloomy interior makes it impossible to make out much of the interior. You walk around the side, trying the door and finding it unlocked. The door swings easily, even if the hinges groan in protest. You're greeted by the smell of old dust. As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you realize that the interior is largely empty, with perhaps enough space to park a car in the middle and shelves lining one wall. Opposite the shelves you can see several flotation devices hanging, ranging from life jackets to what looks like an inflatable raft. Turning toward the shelves, you start to take stock of what is there. You see several fishing rods leaning in the corner with a couple of tackle boxes resting on the floor beside them. The shelves themselves are sparsely filled, a few tools, items likely intended to maintain the dock, boat and shed you are currently standing in. <<talk "thought">>May have to go fishing at some point. Wonder if there are any fish in this pond, the fishing polls would suggest there are.<</talk>>\ Your curiosity sated, you exit the shed and close the door behind yourself again before turning your attention back to the girls. You find Eve laying in the sand, swinging her arms and legs. <<talk "thought">>Kind of like snow angels, only we're going to have to wash her hair to get all the sand out of it.<</talk>>\ ''You think with amusement.'' Meanwhile, Anna stands nearby, a pinched expression on her face as she watches the treeline. <<talk "player">>Eve, do you know how hard it's going to be to wash all that sand out?<</talk>>\ You ask, feeling a bit of humor. <<talk "eve">>Gaia showed me how to do it though!<</talk>>\ She protests. <<talk "player">>And it looked to me like Gaia needed a bath too.<</talk>>\ You retort. With that said, you start to walk toward the dock, enjoying the view of the little place. <<talk "thought">>It really is a beautiful place.<</talk>>\ The wooden boards of the dock feel solid beneath your foot. Each step making a crisp sound as the sole of your shoe strikes the wood. You've barely walked half the length of the dock when you hear someone step onto it behind you. Turning, you see Anna walking toward you, her expression creased with concern. Her footsteps quickly bring her to you. <<talk "player">>What's wrong?<</talk>>\ You ask softly, continuing toward the end of the dock. Anna walks with you. <<talk "anna">>Wrong? There's a crazy lady with a spear out here, and Eve ran off with her without telling anyone.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Good points, but the more I think about it, the less I think the girl is really dangerous.<</talk>>\ You admit. <<talk "anna">>How can you say that?<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you with wide eyes. <<talk "anna">>The lady waved a spear at you. She could have hurt you... or worse!<</talk>>\ Her voice trails off at the end. <<talk "player">>But she didn't. She could have done anything she'd have liked to me, but instead of hurting me, she ran away instead.<</talk>>\ Your face creases in a thoughtful frown. <<talk "player">>I think so long as we don't do anything to make her feel threatened, it's going to be ok. Besides, she only seemed concerned with me, and I think she thought she was protecting Eve.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>But she doesn't need to protect Eve from you, you'd never hurt her.<</talk>>\ Anna says, stepping close enough for her arm to brush yours. You allow yourself to slide an arm around her, hugging her lightly to your side. <<talk "player">>But she didn't know that.<</talk>>\ The two of you stand in silence, the sounds of Eve playing coming from behind you, and the soft lapping sounds of the water hitting the dock are the only sounds you can hear. <<talk "thought">>The water here is so clear, it's like looking at glass.<</talk>>\ You marvel, realizing you can see the bottom of the pond, and among the rocks and weeds at the bottom, you can see fish swimming lazily in the water. <<talk "player">>Could she be a former slave of my Great Uncle's that somehow escaped but was unable to get off the property?<</talk>>\ You ask suddenly. There's a long silence before Anna replies. <<talk "anna">>I don't know, I've never heard of someone who he wasn't able to recapture.<</talk>>\ She shivers and pulls herself a little tighter into your embrace. <<talk "player">>We'll figure this out, maybe we can show her we're not going to hurt her, or maybe if we leave her alone she'll do the same for us?<</talk>>\ You sigh, wishing you knew what to do in this situation. <<talk "anna">>She's here... Across from us, in the trees.<</talk>>\ You follow her gaze, seeing the young ebony woman from before. It's hard to see her expression clearly from the distance, but it is clear that she's focused on you. Not sure what you should do, you raise an arm and wave at her in a gesture you hope she interprets as friendly. She quickly vanishes back into the trees. Lowering your arm again, you turn toward the shore and start walking back toward the little beach. <<talk "player">>Eve, I think it's time we head back to the mansion.<</talk>>\ You say loud enough for the younger woman to hear. Eve makes a sound of protest. <<talk "eve">>Can't we stay a little longer?<</talk>>\ She asks, her tone making her sound childish. <<talk "player">>No, but maybe we can come back another day.<</talk>>\ Her face lights back up at your words, and she charges forward to embrace you around the middle.

The three of you start to walk in relative silence. After a little while, you decide to ask. <<talk "player">>You called the girl Gaia, but you said she didn't talk?<</talk>>\ Eve walks a couple more paces before answering. <<talk "eve">>I named her that. I think she likes it.<</talk>>\ There's a hint of pride in her voice as she says the last bit. You walk another minute in silence before starting to talk again. <<talk "player">>Eve, you can't go running off like this again. If you're going to be in the mansion or the yard outside, that's fine, but if you're going to go into the woods, you need to have one of us with you. And until we know she's safe.<</talk>>\ Then before she can reply you quickly add. <<talk "player">>I know you think she's safe, but until ''I'' am convinced she is safe, you need to let me know when you see her. Ok?<</talk>>\ Eve nods, and to your other side you can see a hint of approval in Anna's expression. The rest of the trip back to the mansion takes place in relative silence, each of you consumed by your own private thoughts. Once back at the house, you send Eve off to complete her chores for the day. Afterwards, Anna excuses herself to return to her own chores, though you strongly suspect she plans to seek out her sister first. With a heavy sigh, you return your thoughts to the naked ebony woman from the woods, wondering once more what you should do about her. <<talk "thought">>Should I try to do what Eve was doing? Bring her apples or other things in the hopes of earning her trust? Should I just ignore her and hope she leaves us alone in turn? Or should I try to remove her from the property some way?<</talk>>\ With no clear solution in mind, you return your thoughts to things you //can// do something about at the moment.

Starts at Entry Hall

Eve approaches you rapidly, a neatly folded piece of paper in her hands. There's a sheepish smile on her face as she hands it to you. <<talk "eve">>Open it.<</talk>>\ She declares before turning and rushing off without bothering to wait for you to open the note. Glancing at Eve's retreating form, you can see a note that appears identical to the one in your hands clutched in her grip. Turning your gaze back to the note in your hands, you unfold it to find a hand written note within. The penmanship is blocky and looks hastily scrawled. <div class='letterText'>>\ Master, Please come to the back yard when the sun goes down tonight. It's super important. Love, Anna </div>\ You look at the paper for several long seconds. <<talk "thought">>That sounds more like something Eve would write than Anna.<</talk>>\ You glance in the direction Eve went in, remembering the second note clutched in her hand. <<talk "thought">>What is she up to? It's almost sunset now. If I'm going to go find out what this is all about, I might want to go now.<</talk>>\ [[Crumple up the paper and forget all about it.|Sponsored Scene 5a]] [[Head for the back yard.|Sponsored Scene 5b]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

You look at the paper just a little longer before crumpling it up in your fist and casually discarding it on the ground at your feet. <<talk "thought">>Eve's up to something, and I don't want any part of it.<</talk>>\ Your eyes turn to the wad of paper on the floor. <<talk "thought">>Someone will clean it up.<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 1 }>><<set $eve.affection -= 2>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

Your eyes linger on the paper for just a second longer before you fold it and slip it into your pocket. <<talk "thought">>Eve is up to something, and the only way I'm going to find out what is to go see what she's scheming.<</talk>>\ A minute later, you're exiting the mansion through the dining room doors into the back yard. Twilight lies heavily on the back yard, the fading light just starting to turn the treeline in the distance into an ominous black wall. Closer, you see small spots of light. The small lights glow brightly and suddenly, their glow lingering for a few seconds before fading. <<talk "thought">>Fireflies.<</talk>>\ You realize, looking out over the grounds, seeing them glow like thousands of little yellow stars that blink in and out of existence every few seconds. <<talk "thought">>It's actually quite pretty.<</talk>>\ You don't get to look for long though before you hear the door open behind you. Turning, you see Anna and Eve coming to join you. Anna's eyes are on you, a concerned, and slightly confused expression on her face. You can see that she is clutching the note you saw Eve leaving with earlier clutched to her chest with both hands. There's uncertainty in her voice when she speaks. <<talk "eve">>You needed me for something important?<</talk>>\ You can see a flicker of panic in Eve's eyes as her little scheme starts to unravel. [[Ask Eve to explain herself.|Sponsored Scene 5c]] [[See how Eve handles this.|Sponsored Scene 5d]] [[Play along with whatever Eve is planning.|Sponsored Scene 5e]] <<addtime { minute : 5 }>> ''Generously Sponsored by Matty''

<<talk "player">>I think you have a little explaining to do.<</talk>>\ You say to Eve. As you speak, you can see Anna's attention shift to her sister. <<talk "eve">>I... I just wanted to do something nice.<</talk>>\ Eve suddenly seems unable to look anywhere near you or her sister as she fidgets. It's clear from Anna's expression that she's even more clueless about what is going on than you are. [[Be angry about her deception.|Sponsored Scene 5f]] [[Wait for her to explain.|Sponsored Scene 5g]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection -= 2>><<set $eve.fear += 2>>

You remain silent, waiting for Eve to fill the silence with an explanation of some form. Finally, Eve lets out an exaggerated sigh, seeming to sag in on herself in the game moment. <<talk "eve">>I wanted to help you two of you be happy together. In the movies, there's always those romantic situations where there's a special letter or something cute, and I wanted to do something like that for the two of you, make a perfect evening for you.<</talk>>\ You can see Anna trying to subtly look at you, hoping to gauge your reaction to all of this. There's color in her cheeks as she blushes. <<if not $eve.hasFlag("virgin")>>\ <<talk "player">>And why would you want that? I thought you wanted to keep me all to yourself?<</talk>>\ You ask, half kidding. Eve's eyes widen slightly, her eyes finally meeting yours again. <<talk "eve">>No, I want you and Anna together. You make her happy... Besides, she doesn't mind sharing you with me.<</talk>>\ A sheepish grin forms on her lips suddenly. Your eyebrows raise slightly as Anna's lack of protest seems to confirm Eve's assertion. <<else>>\ <<talk "player">>And why do you think we need a perfect evening?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Because, You make Anna happy, and I want you to be in love with her.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes finally meet your own... Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Anna blush harder, one hand raising to her lips to cover her mouth. <</if>>\ [[Tell Eve you already love Anna.|Sponsored Scene 5j]] [[Tell Eve it doesn't work like that.|Sponsored Scene 5k]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty''<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Your eyes lock with Eve's for a second, then you open your mouth to speak. <<talk "player">>Actually, I asked Eve to help me out with a little something, so she gets most of the credit.<</talk>>\ Anna looks like she's taking your words in stride, but the look of relief on Eve's face is priceless. She looks prepared to thank you, but catches herself. <<talk "anna">>This way.<</talk>>\ She declares gleefully, taking your hand in one of hers, then reaching out to take her sister's hand in her other. You exchange a look with Anna, her eyes curious, but she says nothing as the two of you are led across the back yard. As all of you walk, you start to become aware of something a bit different a short distance ahead. On the lawn is a blanket laid out, what looks like a picnic spread across it's surface. What really makes things stand out is the dozen small jars spread around the blanket. Each glows softly, and cumulatively they are just barely enough to bask the picnic area in a soft light. You aren't sure who among you brings the group to a halt, but you find yourself standing a few paces short of the jars. In the jars, you can see lights dancing, and in an instant you realize what you're looking at. <<talk "thought">>There's hundreds of them.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself as you watch the fireflies in the jars. To your side, you can hear a soft intake of breath as Anna comes to the same realization you just did. <<talk "anna">>They're beautiful...<</talk>>\ Her voice is a breathless whisper. <<talk "eve">>It took me ''days'' to catch them all.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice is filled with pride, her innocent declaration breaking the spell the scene had cast over Anna and yourself. You can feel your arm being moved slightly. The motion causes you to look. Eve's clearly trying to be subtle, but she moves her hands toward each other, still holding both Anna's and your hand. When her hands meet, she carefully removes her own hands while moving yours and Anna's together. [[Take Anna's hand.|Sponsored Scene 5h]] [[Don't take Anna's hand.|Sponsored Scene 5i]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 11 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 2>><<set $eve.fear -= 2>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>

"Doing something nice usually doesn't involve misleading people that you supposedly care about," You retort, just a little heat finding it's way into your voice. Eve opens her mouth, looking ready to protest, then suddenly seems to deflate. <<talk "eve">>Sorry...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>There's nothing wrong with setting up a surprise, but I do ''not'' like to be misled like this.<</talk>>\ Your tone makes it clear that you're done talking. Turning on your heel, you walk away, leaving Eve to think about her actions.

You wait in silence a little longer, then Eve lets out a long sigh. <<talk "eve">>Ok, I confess, I wrote the notes, but I just wanted to make a nice evening for the two of you.<</talk>>\ Anna has a growing look of realization on her face as she begins to piece together what happened. <<talk "eve">>Can we still do what I wanted? It's for the both of you, and I worked really hard to set it up.<</talk>>\ There's just a hint of whine in her voice as she speaks. Sighing to yourself, you consider your next words carefully. [[Be angry about her deception.|Sponsored Scene 5f]] [[Let her continue.|Sponsored Scene 5l]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $eve.fear += 1>>

As your hand touches Anna's, you let your fingers intertwine with hers. She looks a little surprised as she looks down at her hand, then you can see color darken her cheeks as she blushes. For a second, her fingers remain straight before they close around yours in seemingly slow motion. The two of you share a look, and in the evening light, with the look of wonder on her face, she's among the most beautiful sights you've ever laid eyes upon. Then Eve squeezes between the two of you. <<talk "eve">>Don't worry about anything, I'll take care of it all.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice cuts through the moment like a hot knife through butter. You glance toward her as she steps onto the blanket and places a pair of plates side by side, presumably for Anna and yourself. By the time you glance back at Anna, she's got a self conscious look on her face and she's watching her sister work. You have to let go of Anna's hand in order to sit, but once you're sitting, you scoot just a little closer to her. The action does not go unnoticed by either Anna or Eve. Anna smiles faintly as your side brushes against hers, and Eve openly grins. With clear excitement, Eve begins to put food on the plates, simple sandwiches and sliced fruits. From a thermos, she pours what both appears and smells like hot chocolate. From a small baggy, she even sprinkles a few miniature marshmallows into the drinks. Anna and yourself both eat in relative silence. The whole time Eve is hovering about, quickly replacing the food on your plates or topping off your hot chocolate. As the meal nears it's end, it's night. With the exception of the faint glow of the fireflies in the jars around you and the lights you can see from the mansion, the night has grown dark. <<talk "anna">>It's very pretty out tonight.<</talk>>\ Anna says softly into the quiet. Her eyes are turned toward the treeline where you can see the occasional glow of a firefly. Reaching out, you place your hand on hers. You can see her head turn toward her hand to look at where yours is resting on it, but neither of you says a word. It's a comfortable quiet. Suddenly, Eve is near your side, her voice soft as she whispers all too loud. She leans close. <<talk "eve">>This is where you tell her that the night is nowhere near as pretty as she is.<</talk>>\ Her words have a sage quality to them, but their presentation makes you want to laugh. From your other side you think you hear Anna laugh softly before she can stop herself. Anna turns toward you, a small smile on her face as she looks at you. Again, Eve talks into your ear. <<talk "eve">>This is the part where you kiss her. On the lips. Like you love her. Like, a lot.<</talk>>\ This time, you have to bite your lip to hold back your laugh. Across from you Anna's amusement is clear in her eyes. Oblivious to you and Anna's reactions, Eve forges forward without so much as a pause. <<talk "eve">>And if she kisses you back, then you can slip your hand up her skirt.<</talk>>\ Anna makes a sudden choking sound, shock on her face. It's only then that Eve seems to realize that her sister is even hearing what she's saying to you. Completely misinterpreting Anna's reaction, she speaks a little louder, clearly talking to her sister now. <<talk "eve">>I'm sorry, I should have brought him out here first so we could practice with me so your date could be perfect.<</talk>>\ You find yourself shocked into silence even before you can think to retort. Standing, Eve looks at the two of you with a serious expression. <<talk "eve">>I'll just get out of your way now and let the two of you do whatever it is you're going to do.<</talk>>\ Holding up one hand to make a circle, she thrusts a finger from her other hand through the hole suggestively a few times, winks at you, then goes skipping toward the house. About half way to the house however, you see her quickly duck out of sight near the greenhouse. <<talk "thought">>I wonder what she's up to now?<</talk>>\ Your thought is interrupted by Anna speaking softly. <<talk "anna">>It's a little sad.<</talk>>\ Not sure what she means. <<talk "player">>What's a little sad?<</talk>>\ She gestures at the fireflies. <<talk "anna">>They're beautiful, especially when there are so many of them together, but they're stuck in those jars when they should be free.<</talk>>\ Her voice is very soft as she speaks. [[Let the fireflies free together.|Sponsored Scene 5m]] [[Leave the fireflies.|Sponsored Scene 5n]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 21 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>

As your hand touches Anna's, you pull your hand back to your side. Anna glances at her hand, clearly not noticing what just happened. Eve on the other hand scowls and shoots you an unhappy look. You glance at Anna, meeting her eyes for just a second before turning your attention back to what lies before you. Then Eve steps between the two of you. <<talk "eve">>Don't worry about anything, I'll take care of it all.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice cuts through your thoughts. Glancing toward her, she steps onto the blanket and places a pair of plates side by side, presumably for Anna and yourself. By the time you glance back at Anna, she's got a self conscious look on her face and she's watching her sister work. You and Anna sit on the blanket, only a short distance between you. You see Eve's eyes settle on the space between the two of you, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Eve begins to put food on the plates, simple sandwiches and sliced fruits. From a thermos, she pours what both appears and smells like hot chocolate. From a small baggy, she even sprinkles a few miniature marshmallows into the drinks. Anna and yourself both eat in relative silence. The whole time Eve is hovering about, quickly replacing the food on your plates or topping off your hot chocolate. As the meal nears it's end, it's night. With the exception of the faint glow of the fireflies in the jars around you and the lights you can see from the mansion, the night has grown dark. <<talk "anna">>It's very pretty out tonight.<</talk>>\ Anna says softly into the quiet. Her eyes are turned toward the treeline where you can see the occasional glow of a firefly. You don't speak, but your thoughts echo hers as you allow your gaze to drift over the property. Suddenly, Eve is near your side, her voice soft as she whispers all too loud. She leans close. <<talk "eve">>This is where you tell her that the night is nowhere near as pretty as she is, and holding her hand would help too.<</talk>>\ Her words have a sage quality to them, but their presentation makes you want to laugh. From your other side you think you hear Anna laugh softly before she can stop herself. Anna turns toward you, s small smile on her face as she looks at you. Again, Eve talks into your ear. <<talk "eve">>This is the part where you kiss her. On the lips. Like you love her. Like, a lot.<</talk>>\ This time, you have to bite your lip to hold back your laugh.

You glance at Anna, feeling a bit of warmth when you see her looking back. <<talk "player">>You know what? Anna makes me pretty happy too.<</talk>>\ Your eyes return to Eve. A smile blossoms on Eve's face. <<talk "player">>In the real world, you can't just make someone fall in love, but...<</talk>>\ You look at Anna. One of your hands comes to rest lightly on her hip and you pull her gently toward you. <<talk "player">>In the real world, You don't really choose who you fall in love with, it just sort of happens most of the time.<</talk>>\ You're talking to Anna as much as Eve now. Anna's eyes are wide with hope, hanging on your every word as you speak. <<talk "player">>And, you'll never be able to get me to fall in love with your sister...<</talk>>\ You look back at Anna. There's worry and hurt in her eyes, but that expression turns to one of confusion when you wink at her. <<talk "player">>Because I've already fallen in love with her.<</talk>>\ You can see Anna's eyes tear up even as she smiles... @@.a2;Happy tears.@@... At the same time you hear an @@.a3;"Awwww!"@@ From beside you. Leaning forward, you let your forehead come to rest against Anna's. You can see her looking at you, her eyes searching yours, then she does something uncharacteristic for herself, she kisses you first. Her lips touch yours, you can taste a hint of her salty tears on them. It's a simple kiss, only her lips pressed against yours lightly. After only a second, she begins to pull back, as if she is frightened by what she just did. You don't let it happen, instead you pull her body against hers and kiss her back. Several seconds later as you break the kiss, you can see her looking at you, a hesitant smile on her lips. <<talk "player">>I love you too.<</talk>>\ ''She says in a bare whisper.'' The moment feels perfect, nearly magic, and Anna standing before you is one of the most stunningly beautiful sights you've ever had the privilege of laying your eyes upon. Then in mere seconds you are both brought back to reality by the sound of Eve's voice. Eve looks at the two of you with a serious expression. <<talk "eve">>I'll just get out of your way now and let the two of you do whatever it is you're going to do.<</talk>>\ Holding up one hand to make a circle, she thrusts a finger from her other hand through the hole suggestively a few times, winks at you, then goes skipping toward the house. About half way to the house however, you see her quickly duck out of sight near the greenhouse. <<talk "thought">>I wonder what she's up to now?<</talk>>\ Your thought is interrupted by Anna speaking softly. <<talk "anna">>It's a little sad.<</talk>>\ Not sure what she means. <<talk "player">>What's a little sad?<</talk>>\ She gestures at the fireflies. <<talk "anna">>They're beautiful, especially when there are so many of them together, but they're stuck in those jars when they should be free.<</talk>>\ ''Her voice is very soft as she speaks.''

You glance at Anna, feeling your expression pinch slightly. A second later you return your gaze to Eve. <<talk "player">>The real world doesn't work that way. Love isn't something you can force.<</talk>>\ Eve's expression begins to fall at your words, and you can see a somber expression settling over Anna's features. A smile blossoms on Eve's face. <<talk "player">>In the real world, You don't really choose who you fall in love with, it just sort of happens most of the time<</talk>>\ ''You're talking to Anna as much as Eve now.'' You pause to consider your words for a moment. <<talk "player">>You can be fond of someone without loving them. The two of you, I'm very fond of you both. But love is a very strong word that people throw around too casually.<</talk>>\ You pause again, wondering if you should stop now of forge forward. <<talk "player">>Sometimes love takes time.<</talk>>\ You finally add. <<talk "eve">>Would it help if I left the two of you alone?<</talk>>\ Eve's words cut in almost comically. You can't quite hide the amusement you feel at her comment when you glance toward her. Eve looks at the two of you with a serious expression. <<talk "eve">>I'll just get out of your way now and let the two of you do whatever it is you're going to do.<</talk>>\ Holding up one hand to make a circle, she thrusts a finger from her other hand through the hole suggestively a few times then winks at you. <<talk "eve">>Let love blossom.<</talk>>\ She says, wiggling her fingers toward the two of you before skipping off toward the mansion. About half way to the house however, you see her quickly duck out of sight near the greenhouse. <<talk "thought">>I wonder what she's up to now?<</talk>>\ Your thought is interrupted by Anna speaking softly. <<talk "anna">>It's a little sad.<</talk>>\ She begins, clearly trying to change the subject. Not sure what she means. <<talk "player">>What's a little sad?<</talk>>\ She gestures at the fireflies. <<talk "anna">>They're beautiful, especially when there are so many of them together, but they're stuck in those jars when they should be free.<</talk>>\ Her voice is very soft as she speaks.

<<talk "player">>Show us what you have planned.<</talk>>\ You say reluctantly. <<talk "eve">>This way.<</talk>>\ Eve declares gleefully, taking your hand in one of hers, then reaching out to take her sister's hand in her other. You exchange a look with Anna, her eyes curious, but she says nothing as the two of you are led across the back yard. As all of you walk, you start to become aware of something a bit different a short distance ahead. On the lawn is a blanket laid out, what looks like a picnic spread across it's surface. What really makes things stand out is the dozen small jars spread around the blanket. Each glows softly, and cumulatively they are just barely enough to bask the picnic area in a soft light. You aren't sure who among you brings the group to a halt, but you find yourself standing a few paces short of the jars. In the jars, you can see lights dancing, and in an instant you realize what you're looking at. <<talk "thought">>There's hundreds of them.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself as you watch the fireflies in the jars. To your side, you can hear a soft intake of breath as Anna comes to the same realization you just did. <<talk "anna">>They're beautiful.<</talk>>\ Her voice is a breathless whisper. <<talk "eve">>It took me ''days'' to catch them all.<</talk>>\ Eve's voice is filled with pride, her innocent declaration breaking the spell the scene had cast over Anna and yourself. You can feel your arm being moved slightly. The motion causes you to look. Eve's clearly trying to be subtle, but she moves her hands toward each other, still holding both Anna's and your hand. When her hands meet, she carefully removes her own hands while moving yours and Anna's together. [[Take Anna's hand.|Sponsored Scene 5h]] [[Don't take Anna's hand.|Sponsored Scene 5i]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 2>>

<<talk "player">>Then lets let them go.<</talk>>\ You state simply, already reaching for the closest jar. There's a surprised look on Anna's face, as if the thought never would have occurred to her. With the jar in hand, you start to unscrew the cap, gently removing it at the end. At first, a single firefly enters the air from the jar, its faint glow flaring bright for a second. Part of you wonders if such a creature understands well enough to really appreciate its newfound freedom and the surge of light is a signal of joy, or if it's just by chance that it glowed so bright in that moment. Almost reluctantly, another firefly finds it's way out of the jar, then another. You sit the glass jar down and quickly reach for the next, opening it and placing it with the first. By the time you're reaching for the third jar, Anna is reaching for her first. In that moment, it becomes a race to free the fireflies from their well intended prison. When you open the last jar, you glance toward Anna. She's standing, her eyes filled with a child like wonder that would look more at home on Eve's child like features. All around her is a cloud of fireflies. Thousands of the insects flying, seeming to dance around her as they float into the sky. You nearly forget to place the last jar with the rest because the scene before you stuns you. Anna's eyes turn to you, and you see something that you almost never get to see. Instead of a faint pinch of worry that seems to perpetuate her face, in its place there is no hint of worry or fear, in its place is an intoxicating mixture of joy and wonder that leaves you breathless. <<talk "thought">>Wow, it's like she's seeing magic.<</talk>>\ You think, feeling yourself being swept up in the moment as well. She smiles at you, her arms spreading wide as she begins to turn in a slow circle. The fireflies seem to follow her as she turns, creating a sort of whirlwind of little lights all around her. The sudden laughter that fills the air is so unexpected that you completely forget the fireflies for a split second and instead look at Anna only. She continues for several more seconds before she suddenly falls silent and stops. In barely more than a second, her composure has returned to her usual stoic expression. Her eyes meet yours self consciously, then her smile half returns when she sees your own smile. <<talk "anna">>Sorry, I... I got lost in the moment.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Nothing to be sorry for.<</talk>>\ You reply softly. As the last of the fireflies drift away in the gentle breeze, you begin to take notice of how dark the night has become.

<<talk "player">>Eve went to a lot of trouble to catch all of those fireflies. She'll release them when she's ready to.<</talk>>\ You say to Anna. Anna looks at the jars full of fireflies, her sad expression lingering. <<talk "thought">>Now what?<</talk>>\ You wonder to yourself. [[Walk back to the mansion together.|Sponsored Scene 5p]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>Would you like to take a walk with me?<</talk>>\ You ask, holding out your hand to her. Anna looks at your hand for just a second before taking it. Her fingers are soft and her grip is loose, though she doesn't act like she wants to pull away. With no destination in mind, you start to walk, Anna remaining at your aide. Neither of you say much, instead there's a comfortable silence between you for much of the walk, both of you are content to simply be in the other's company. <<talk "anna">>Sometimes, I think to myself.<</talk>>\ Anna's words are soft, though you hear them clearly in the relative quiet of the evening. <<talk "anna">>That none of this is real, that you being here is too perfect.<</talk>>\ She glances at you, a faint smile on her lips. <<talk "anna">>Or that you're some kind of angel come here to protect us from what came before.<</talk>>\ You release her hand, opting instead to slip your arm around her middle and pull her to your side. Her smile blossoms into something more for a second. <<talk "anna">>Like that. The moment I start talking about my uncertainties and fret over the past, you're right there, ready to protect me even from my own thoughts in your own way.<</talk>>\ With a little sigh, she leans against you, her head on your shoulder. Pausing, you savor the moment as your eyes drift over the area around you. Gentle grassy hills rest under your feet and a star filled sky above. Between what light reflects off the moon, and the occasional firefly glowing brightly in the air, you're a little surprised to realize that the evening doesn't seem all that dark.

<<talk "player">>I think we should head inside. It's getting dark.<</talk>>\ Anna nods in understanding, moving to clean up the little picnic. <<talk "player">>Eve can take care of that in the morning.<</talk>>\ She looks like she wants to disagree, but finally nods. <<talk "anna">>Alright.<</talk>>\ The two of you walk back toward the mansion in near silence. Anna walks close to you, but maintains a little space between the two of you. A couple of minutes later the two of you reach the mansion, Anna quickly excusing herself to return to whatever matters she feels needs to be taken care of while you consider what to do next. [[End.|$location]] ''Generously Sponsored by Matty'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You take a careful step, moving so that you're standing directly in front of her. Anna's eyes are wide, looking at you. You get the impression of a deer caught in the headlights of an automobile. Leaning forward, you feel your lips touch hers. The warmth of her breath against your lips is the only indication of the happy sigh she lets out. In an instant, she meets your kiss. You can feel her arms encircle you, holding you tightly, nearly clinging to you. Your arms slide down her body until your hands reach her ass. Playfully, you give each cheek a playful squeeze. Anna lets out a surprised sound and holds to you all the tighter. Finally, you breath the kiss. Anna leans toward you, trying to maintain the contact but you lean back too far for her to reach. Her eyes hold a hint of worry, clearly concerned that she had done something wrong. You put her fears to rest quickly enough when you speak. <<talk "player">>Anna, I'm going to lay you down on this lawn.<</talk>>\ Leaning forward, you kiss the tip of her nose with a smirk. <<talk "player">>I'm going to pull your skirt up.<</talk>>\ You kiss the tip of her nose again. This time you can see a coy smile on her lips. <<talk "player">>I'm going to pull your panties down to reveal the treasure hidden within.<</talk>>\ She looks flushed at your words, anticipation clear in her features. <<talk "player">>And then I'm going to make love to you.<</talk>>\ This time when you kiss her, you meet her lips again. The kiss is fierce but brief. <<talk "player">>Well, I might have to get my pants off before that last part, but I think you get the idea.<</talk>>\ You can see in her eyes that Anna nearly laughs. She offers no resistance as you lower her to the soft grass. You just start to pull her skirt up when a bit of motion at the corner of your vision catches your attention. You glance that way, but seeing nothing, you return to the task at hand. Next you take hold of her panties, sliding them down her legs with exaggerated care. There's a hint of mischief in Anna's eyes when you reach for your own belt. You find her already trying to unfasten your belt. When you look at her eyes, a half smile finds it's way onto her lips. <<talk "player">>Thought I'd help in case you forgot again.<</talk>>\ Marveling at her moment of humor, you lean in and kiss her deeply. You can feel your pants being pulled down past your hips, and a second later her legs wrap around you. You need no more encouragement than that. With one hand you reach down and angle your manhood toward her waiting sex. She's already wet, her lips parting easily to allow you entry. When you nudge forward, you slide inside her tight hole with ease. She arches her back and moans softly in your ear as you bottom out inside of her. When you pull back, her legs tighten, pulling you back inside. For the next few minutes the two of you remain like that, your bodies moving in unison, you pulling back, and her pulling you back inside each time. While your love making lacks it's usual intensity, it makes up with it in raw passion. Kisses and caresses fill every moment, and the rippling of her pussy around your manhood coaxes you ever closer to completion. You're fighting to maintain control for just a little longer when Anna cries out in passion. Her legs already locked around your hips hold tightly to you and her pussy clamping down around your cock combined with the flood of fluids from her depths is a clear indicator of her orgasm. And it proves to be more than you can handle. Your cock throbs of it's own accord, your balls pulling tight as you hold your self deep inside of her and fill her with your cum. When you finally finish, her legs loosen and you roll reluctantly off of her. Both of you are in a sort of daze as you try to catch your breath. Still half hard, you can feel a dribble of your own cum sliding down your softening shaft. From your side, you see motion again. Turning your head, you see a grinning Eve standing there. She gives a quick double thumbs up, then withdraws back into the shadows. You think about saying something but eventually decide against it. Instead you turn your head toward Anna. <<talk "player">>I suppose we should get up and head back inside?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Yeah...<</talk>>\ She replies, though there's no conviction in her voice. You both lay there for a couple more minutes before either of you moves. When you finally stand, you buckle your pants, then offer Anna a hand to help her get up as well. It doesn't take long to make yourselves presentable again. Taking her hand, the two of you make your way back to the mansion, half holding, half leaning on each other A few minutes later when you reach the mansion, Anna reluctantly pulls away, leaving a chill against your side where her warmth just was. She opens her mouth as if to say something, then closes it again. A second later she opens her mouth again. <<talk "player">>I, I enjoyed this. Thank you.<</talk>>\ She meets your eyes. Smiling, you lean forward. One of your hands cups her cheek to draw her face to yours just a second before your lips touch hers. <<talk "player">>And thank you too. Tonight is a beautiful night, and I'm glad I could share it with you.<</talk>>\ Anna blushes, a broad smile forming on her lips as she looks away bashfully. After a few seconds, she mumbles something, though the only word you think you make out is 'love.' Before you can pry, Anna quickly excuses herself and hurries off, leaving you to your thoughts.

<<talk "player">>I think we should head inside. We wouldn't want to get lost in the dark.<</talk>>\ Anna nods in understanding, seeming just a little bashful. With your arm around her, the walk back to the mansion is slow. A few minutes later when you reach the mansion, Anna reluctantly pulls away, leaving a chill against your side where her warmth just was. She opens her mouth as if to say something, then closes it again. A second later she opens her mouth again. <<talk "anna">>I, I enjoyed this. Thank you.<</talk>>\ Smiling, you lean forward.

Appears in the study during the 7pm hour Fireflies: Adult portion of life starts as early as the third week of May but can be as much as a month after that. Adult fireflies live around two months. For the sake of simplicity, will run their activity from June 15th through August 15th. Around the blanket in the lawn are a series of small jars, all full of fireflies to make just a soft glow for the area while the meal unfolds. The thing is that with Eve along, instead of being romantic, the whole thing turns a little comical. Anna: The sunset tonight is very pretty. MC: Reaches out and gently rests his hand on hers. Eve: Leans close to the MC This is where you tell her that the sunset is nowhere near as pretty as her. Anna: Smiles faintly, but doesn't comment. Turns slowly and smiles shyly at MC Eve: This is the part where you kiss her. On the lips. Like you love her. Like, a lot. Eve: And if she kisses you back, then you can slip your hand up her skirt. Eve: Looks at a horrified Anna. I'm sorry, I should have brought him out here first so we could practice with me so your date could be perfect

You hear sounds coming from inside. You are about to press your ear to the door when it opens, startling you. You look down and see Eve, eyes wide in her nightgown looking up at you. There is fear in her eyes, and you can tell she's close to tears from the gloss in her orbs. <<talk "player">>What's wrong, Eve?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>It's Anna.<</talk>>\ ''Eve's tone is hushed and shaky. She opens the door and points.'' You see Anna, her eyes closed tightly. The covers of the bed have been tossed off the bed, and Anna is trembling as she tosses and turns. Her nightgown and hair stick to her pale skin, sweat dripping from her brow. You can hear unintelligible words coming from her mouth, catching ''"don't"'' and ''"please"'' frequently as she writhes. <<talk "player">>What's wrong with her?<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>She's having a nightmare... a really bad one.<</talk>>\ Eve whispers. You feel her take your arm and clutch it as you step inside. <<talk "player">>Does this happen a lot?<</talk>>\ You ask, looking down at Eve. <<talk "eve">>Not usually this bad. I touched her hand to try and wake her up and she... she started swinging around. She caught me in the face.<</talk>>\ You peer closer and see the trademark beginnings of a bruise on the right side of Eve's forehead, almost blending into her deep red hairline. <<talk "player">>It doesn't look that bad.<</talk>>\ You assure her. <<talk "player">>I'll try and wake her up. Stay back please.<</talk>>\ You step closer to Anna's bed and kneel down. <<talk "player">>Anna.<</talk>>\ ''You speak softly. She reacts by curling up, her knees touching her ample chest as her arms cover her head.'' <<talk "anna">>No more....<</talk>>\ You can make out more words now. <<talk "player">>Anna.<</talk>>\ You speak louder this time. You hear her whimper and curl even tighter. <<talk "player">>Anna!<</talk>>\ Your hands grip hers tightly. As soon as your fingers touch her skin Anna begins to flail, legs kicking out as her arms try to move. You hold tight, but grunt in pain when a flailing leg catches your chest, driving the breath out of you for a moment. You push forward and press her arms to either side of her as she continues flailing, words falling out of her in gibberish form. <<talk "player">>Anna!<</talk>>\ You yell loudly as you catch another kick in your side. Finally her eyes snap open as she cries out. You recognize stark terror as she looks directly at you, her breathing ragged. The hair framing and sticking to her face make her look almost crazed. <<talk "anna">>W-what's... what--<</talk>>\ Anna stammers as you release her arms. She instantly shrinks away, pressing herself against the headboard. Eve darts past you and crawls onto the bed, throwing her arms around Anna. <<talk "eve">>You were having a nightmare!<</talk>>\ Eve cries, burying her face in Anna's chest. Anna clings desperately to her sister, eyes flickering from her to you. You rub gently where her foot struck your chest and side, wincing. <<talk "thought">>That's going to be a bruise...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>We were very concerned.<</talk>>\ You stand up and sit on the bed, still cringing slightly. <<talk "player">>I-it... was so real... I could feel the chains... and the whips.... He wouldn't stop touching me....<</talk>>\ Anna babbles. She stops and pulls Eve back slightly, looking at her. <<talk "anna">>What happened?<</talk>>\ Anna's fingers probe her sisters forehead. Eve winces when Anna touches the sore spot. You swear you see Anna's eyes flicker to you, a recriminating glare in it. <<talk "player">>I tried to wake you up and you freaked out! You started flailing and caught me in the head.<</talk>>\ You feel awful for Anna as you see shame spread over her features. Anna clutches Eve against her, apologizing over and over. <<talk "thought">>You got me too...<</talk>>\ After a few moments Anna looks to you, blushing profusely as she holds Eve. Understanding dawns in her eyes as she sees your hand rubbing your side, followed shortly by horror. <<talk "anna">>I-I'm sorry, Master! I didn't mean to strike you.... If you wish to punish me I understand... but please.<</talk>>\ Anna begs. Her eyes flicker down to Eve, then to the door before you again. Eve looks up at her sister, then half turns to look at you. <<talk "eve">>Please don't hurt Anna! She was asleep! She didn't mean it!<</talk>>\ Eve begs, tears forming in her eyes.

<<talk "player">>Eve. Could you wait outside a moment?<</talk>>\ Both girls have a look of horror pass between them. <<talk "eve">>Please! Please don't hurt her! Please!<</talk>>\ Eve starts to wail, but Anna grasps Eve's cheeks and makes her sisters crying eyes meet hers. <<talk "player">>Eve. Just wait outside. Close the door and stay out there until I ask you to come back in, no matter what you hear.<</talk>>\ Anna's tone is shaky, but firm. You see tears falling down Eve's cheeks as she looks at her sister. <<talk "eve">>Anna--<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Eve. Do this for me.<</talk>>\ Anna hugs Eve again. <<talk "anna">>I love you.<</talk>>\ You can barely make the whisper out, and you definitely don't hear Eve's reply. Eve hesitates, but reluctantly withdraws her arms from around Anna. Eve moves past you, but pauses at the door fame to face you. <<talk "eve">>Please don't hurt my sister.<</talk>>\ Eve sobs, then closes the door behind her. Anna sits on the bed, knee's curled to her chest and averting your gaze. You can see her trembling, her hair hanging down like a curtain covering much of her features. <<talk "anna">>I'm sorry, Master. I... I am prepared for whatever punishment y-you wish.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is hollow and weak. She shifts and draws her legs under her, resting her quivering hands on the hem of her nightgown as she awaits your response. [[Ask her what she was dreaming.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene 1c]] ''By LFNPark'' <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

<<talk "player">>It's fine. I'll have a bruise or two for a while, but as long as Anna's okay I can live with that.<</talk>>\ You give them a reassuring smile. Shock goes across Anna's face as relief floods Eve's. You stand up from the bed and walk to the door. <<talk "player">>You two should try to get some sleep... or relax at least. I'll see you in the morning.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Wait!<</talk>>\ You turn and find Eve throwing her arms around your waist in a hug. You stand there, surprised, as Anna stares at both of you. Eve looks up at your, smiling brightly. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for not hurting my sister.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Never a problem.<</talk>>\ You pat her head affectionately and slip away, closing the door behind you.

<<talk "player">>Anna.<</talk>>\ You move closer to her. You can visibly see her shoulders hunch and shrink down. <<talk "player">>Can you tell me what you were dreaming of?<</talk>>\ She looks up at you, confusion apparent in her blue eyes. Her cheeks flush as she looks back down with a glossy stare. <<talk "anna">>I.... Your uncle. H-he had me... chained up. He... he was h-hurting me with... with things... like his whips... and his cane....<</talk>>\ You can see tears start to fall. <<talk "player">>He... he was raping me. Not just... not just with his... you know... but with other things... bigger... painful things. Some at the s-same time. Over and over... he wrapped the whip around my neck... and ch-choked me... during. I couldn't breath.... I pulled and pulled at the chains.... I felt like I was d-dying....<</talk>>\ Anna's shoulders start to tremble. You can see her eyes closed in shame. <<talk "player">>...He actually did that to you, didn't he?<</talk>>\ You find your voice quieter than you expected. Anna doesn't respond at first, but you slowly see her nod. After a moment Anna speaks, her tone soft and broken. <<talk "player">>Is that what you wish of me for my punishment?<</talk>>\ [[Correct her.|Submitted Anna and Eve Interactive Scene 1d]] ''By LFNPark'' <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>Anna, look at me.<</talk>>\ Anna turns her head slowly, staring into your eyes with a frightened gaze. <<talk "player">>Let me see your hand.<</talk>>\ You can see her cringe, but obediently she raises a pale hand and offers it to you. You see her flinch as you take it gently in both of yours, your thumbs rubbing her palm softly. <<talk "player">>I'm not going to hurt you, Anna. I'm not going to rape you.<</talk>>\ You can see the disbelief in her eyes. <<talk "thought">>God, this girl... what could I ever do to this girl?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You had an awful nightmare. I'm not going to punish you for something you didn't mean to do. I will say this, and I will continue to say this until you believe me; I am not my uncle. You are safe. Your sister is safe. I will not hurt either of you.<</talk>>\ You bring her hand to your lips, giving it a gentle kiss that bewilders and confuses her. You feel your heart break a little as you still see disbelief in her eyes, her form still shying away from you. <<talk "player">>I'm going to leave now. I'll send Eve back in. If you need anything, let me know.<</talk>>\ You release her hand as she nods skeptically. You stand up and walk to the door. <<talk "player">>One more thing.<</talk>>\ You turn, and you see fear cross her face again. <<talk "player">>Please call me <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ You try to smile reassuringly, but you fear Anna won't notice.

You step out and see Eve sitting next to the door, knees curled to her chest and her face pressed against them. You can see her form quivering, tears still running down her cheek. You sigh softly, and Eve turns her head up to look at you blearily. These girls.... You gently close the door and crouch down next to the red-haired girl. <<talk "player">>...Is... is she okay?<</talk>>\ Eve asks meekly. <<talk "player">>No.<</talk>>\ You say truthfully. <<talk "player">>But I didn't hurt her.

Opening the washer, after first opening the empty dryer, you find a large load of heavy linen. After transferring as much as you can with your first arm full you are reaching into the washer for a second time when a happy voice greets you from behind. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...<</talk>>\ Pulling out most of the remaining linens you smile at Anna as you turn to push the bundle into the dryer. <<talk "player">>Thought you might like some help.<</talk>>\ Turning back to the washer after making your deposit you find Anna's rear half sticking out of it as she reaches for the final few items remaining in the cavernous machine.

Entering the entry hall, you see the girls standing on the platform of the arched stairway on the second floor. Eve, her head bowed, frightened and ashamed. Anna standing in front of her, clutching her head with despair in her voice laments. <<talk "anna">>...hapless Eve, what have you done..? You need to pay more attention! You know this painting was important to our last master. He was able to stand here and look at it wistfully for hours and... And do you remember how cruel to us he was whenever we interrupted him at that? I hope <<print $anna.callsPlayer>> does not really care as much about it. But how do I explain it to him..?<</talk>>\ Her words are full of worry. As she speaks, you step up the stairs and stand behind Anna's back, looking at the aftermath of whatever happened. Eve lifts her head with a concerned look, and her expression sharpens in horror as she spots you. <<talk "anna">>Hurry! We have to clean up here. He may not even notice it and...<</talk>>\ Anna freezes like a statue the moment your palm comes to rest on her shoulder. <<talk "player">>What's going on here?<</talk>>\ You ask, keeping your voice unreadable. Anna turns to you very slowly, as if she wants more time to prepare what she is about to say. <<talk "anna">>M... Mast... <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>... Forgive me, it's all my fault...<</talk>>\ You silence her with a dismissive gesture. <<talk "player">>Eve?<</talk>>\ Your eyes shift to the younger sister. For a moment Eve seems to be looking for the courage to look into your eyes. Finally, she gives up and murmurs at the floor with a barely audible voice. <<talk "eve">>Forgive me <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, I'm just...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Speak louder!<</talk>>\ Your tone is unexpectedly harsh. Anna's expression becomes more worried, and Eve's expression crumbles to near tears. <<talk "eve">>I... I... I just cleaned the dust and... and I accidentally brushed against the frame of the painting and...<</talk>>\ Her voice clenches in sobs and tears start rolling down her cheeks. <<talk "player">>So, let's see...<</talk>>\ You look at the broken picture. There is a broken picture frame and a partially torn canvas on the floor. Bending down, you carefully release it from the rest of the frame and straighten it. It looks mostly undamaged, only a small tear in the corner. It is clearly a high-quality oil painting brought to the smallest details. <<talk "thought">>Strange - I'm surprised that I never really noticed this painting before.<</talk>>\ The painting is of a very pretty woman, somehow familiar, and with an oddly sad, yet happy look on her face. She is looking down at a little boy who is sitting on her lap and appears to be reading a book with her. <<talk "player">>Heaven... I remember this moment... That's my Aunt Belle. And this must be... ''me?''<</talk>>\ Nostalgically you look at this scene from the past, the memory coming back to you in a rush. <<talk "thought">>This must have been shortly before she died. I barely remember her. It might have been the last time I saw my Great Uncle too.<</talk>>\ You even remember your uncle who was behaving around with the camera and took oodles of shots. One of them had to serve as a template for this painting. Memories of these beautiful childhood moments leave you feeling emotional. With damp eyes, you look at the girls. Anna, breathing deeply. With an empty gaze, in the expectation of the worst, her hands are laid on Eve's shoulders. Eve, standing in front of her, still sobbing, looking down. She stops sobbing suddenly. She takes a deep breath and looked into your eyes. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>... I'm... I'm ready to bear the consequences for my inattention.<</talk>>\ Eve says resolutely. <<talk "player">>So full of life and spirit.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Wait..!<</talk>>\ Anna cries, moving to put herself between you and Eve. <<talk "anna">>It is ''my'' fault, ''I'' have not prepared her enough for her duty. Please punish ''me''!

Until now you realize how serious this situation looks to the girls. Even though the painting now has some emotional value for you, it's certainly not worth this kind of worry for the girls. In addition, it will not be too difficult to fix it. You also realize how hard sharp your response has been to the whole thing. Far more of your reaction came from surprise than anger. <<talk "thought">>I have to calm down the whole situation. But, let's see if I can't play a little trick on them.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I think both of you should bear the consequences of what just happened here. Eve, go to the library! Anna, clean up this mess, take the canvas to my bedroom, then return here to wait for me. And expect to wait a while, I will not tolerate your disobeying right now.<</talk>>\ You say, already moving toward the library. Eve walks in front of you, slowly and resigned, like a convict sentenced to execution.

<<talk "player">>Sit down at the table.<</talk>>\ You tell Eve in a little more moderate voice once you've entered the library. <<talk "player">>We have to talk.<</talk>>\ Almost imperceptibly she nodded and stalks to the table. <<talk "player">>There's an empty space on my wall where that painting used to hang. We have to fill it with something.<</talk>>\ As you speak, you open a cabinet in the corner of the room and draw a few sheets of paper and colored pencils from it. <<talk "player">>I noticed you have a talent for drawing.<</talk>>\ You say, putting the paper and pencils on the table before her. She looked at you for the first time, her eyes wide with surprise. <<talk "player">>For your punishment you will draw me... another nice picture.<</talk>>\ For the first time since the incident you allow yourself a little smile. The amazement on her face is replaced by joy and happiness. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, this will be the most beautiful picture you've ever seen.<</talk>>\ She quickly grabs a pencil then reaches for one of the papers. She pauses to think for a moment, then begins to draw. As you watch her, you see her stop occasionally, her expression turning thoughtful for a few seconds before she continues again with a little smile. Eventually, you sit down across from her. Suddenly, she stops, looking critically at her work, frowns and wrinkles the paper and threw it to the ground. <<talk "player">>Eve, what's wrong?<</talk>>\ You ask, surprised. <<talk "eve">>I said I wanted to make you the most beautiful picture. I have to work harder...<</talk>>\ She says pulling another sheet of paper in front of herself. This is repeated twice before she moves the paper in front of you with a satisfied expression. <<talk "thought">>This took much longer than I expected, I hope that Anna is not worrying too much.<</talk>>\ Looking at the picture you raise an eyebrow in disbelief. Unlike her previous pictures, she also brought a sense of perspective to this one and even tried to maintain proportions. More than a child's drawing it looked like the work of a novice artist. <<talk "thought">>She has real talent.<</talk>>\ In the background, behind the trees, the mansion illuminated by bright sun is the centerpiece of the picture. With open doors and windows, over the blossoming flower beds playing all the colors fluttered small spots you imagine to be butterflies, even small birds sit at the edge of the fountain. In the foreground there are three people. Someone who looks like you, happily smiling with an arm around a second figure which has to be Anna. Her head resting on your shoulder, eyes closed, happy expression on her face. Her hands are laid on the shoulders of the third, shorter figure who can only be Eve, grinning and waving at anyone who was just watching the scene. With your eyebrows still surprisingly lifted, you look at Eve. <<talk "eve">>Well? Do you like it..?<</talk>>\ She asks hesitantly. <<talk "player">>This... this is really a masterpiece worthy to take a place of honor in this home. Thank you, it is a really beautiful piece of art.<</talk>>\ You say, nodding contentedly. <<talk "player">>But I think we've let your sister worry long enough, lets go find her.<</talk>>\ You say rising from the table. <<talk "player">>And try to look ''sufficiently punished''.<</talk>>\ You add in a conspiratorial tone.

Entering the Entry hall you look serious and rigorous. Eve, walking humbly behind you, playing the role of a miserable culprit. Or at least she tries, but her guilty expression is ruined by lifted corners of her lips, a smile that she can not suppress. Moreover, she is not able to hide the picture behind her back. Anna, initially pale and scared, becomes curious as she looks at the two of you, a growing realization becoming evident in her features. You almost hear the fall of that weight witch has so far hung on her heart. <<talk "player">>Anna, now you...<</talk>>\ You walked slowly to her, pulling your belt off. <<talk "player">>To my bedroom!<</talk>>\ You shout, smacking belt in the air with less of a 'crack' than you had hoped. Seeing the humor in your eyes, Anna feigns fright and playfully runs up the stairs, affectionately screaming, hands over her head in mock horror. You run after her and your pants lose from your belt fell to your knees. Of course, you stumble, loose your balance and fell to the staircase. Eve, watching the scene unfold, the whole time giggling, jumping and applauding is now in a seizure of laughter. Anna pauses for a moment at the landing of the stairs and turns to you with a slightly worried look. You nod to her that you are all right. Rising clumsily and pulling your trousers back up. <<talk "player">>Wait till I catch you!<</talk>>\ You run after her - belt in one hand, the other still holding your falling trousers. Eve's laughter can be heard echoing through the mansion behind you.

You can see her tilt her head, like she is anticipating a kiss. Smiling to yourself, you lean in to give her what she wants. Your lips touch gently at first, then you feel her press a little harder against you. Her hands move to your belt and you can feel her unfastening it. At the same time, you reach to free her of her own clothing. It's not long before the two of you stand naked together. <<link "Oral Receive">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaSexOralReceiveStart>><</link>> <<link "Doggystyle">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaSexDoggystyleStart>><</link>> <<link "Missionary">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaSexMissionaryStart>><</link>> <<link "Doggystyle Anal">><<gotoevent setup.events.annaSexDoggystyleAnalStart>><</link>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

As you walk through the hallways, you notice that something in your pants feels wrong. You pad around, trying to find the problem and realize that your phone is missing. You walk around in circles for a while, before getting the idea to backtrack to find it. //I could also just ask Anna where it is. // [[Ask Anna.|Submitted scene Eve phone d]] [[Master bedroom.|Submitted scene Eve phone b]] [[Living room.|Submitted scene Eve phone c]] [[Slaves quarters.|Submitted scene Eve phone a]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Thinking for a while brought you to the conclusion that the phone must be in your bedroom, where else would it be? Al throughout the walk, you keep looking to the sides and behind you, hoping to find the phone laying on some table somewhere. Although all your looking was for naught as you don’t find the phone anywhere during your walk. You enter the bedroom and instantly begin searching for your phone. It is nowhere to be seen, not on your nightstand, not on the bed, and not on the floor. //Not in here. // You think as you decide where to look next. [[Living room.|Submitted scene Eve phone c]] [[Slaves quarters.|Submitted scene Eve phone a]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

//The couch in the living room is probably the culprit. Phones always end up in the couch somehow. // You think as you walk through the halls looking for the lost phone. Through the door, you hear a sound. //Is that a phone ringing. // Agitated by the sound you barge into the room, only to notice that the sound came from a commercial playing on the television. Disappointed and phoneless, you begin looking though the couch. The couch is nearly disassembled as you give up looking for it in here. //Not in here. //you think as you sigh silently. //Where is it. // [[Master bedroom |Submitted scene Eve phone b]] [[Slaves quarters.|Submitted scene Eve phone a]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

//Why would it even be in here? // you think, as you walk into the area. As you walk around the room, you scan for your phone, without luck. Annoyed at the still missing phone, you grumble a little to yourself as you walk around. You walk into the girls’ room in desperation, in there, Eve is lying on her stomach on the bed. Her focus is on something in front of her. She is so distracted by it, that she doesn’t even notice you walking up behind her. As you reach the distracted girl, you carefully peek over her shoulder. In her hands you notice your phone. [[Look at the screen.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1]] [[Take it from her and scold her.|Submitted scene Eve phone a2]] [[Question why she has it.|Submitted scene Eve phone a3]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 5 }>> :: Submitted scene Eve phone a1 Standing right behind her, you lean over trying to see what she is looking at. She is scrolling through your pictures. She scrolls quite a bit longer than you thought was possible. //When did I ever take that many photos? // //The phone is quite old, so the camera is terrible compared to modern phones. // You try getting closer, so you can see the pictures. While leaning in over Eve, you lose your balance and fall onto the girl. She squeals in surprise from your weight landing on top of you while she tries hiding the phone underneath the pillow. <<talk "player">>What was that? <</talk>> You ask gesturing towards the pillow with your head. <<talk "eve">>Hehe… Nothing. <</talk>> She says quickly, looking away from you. <<talk "player">> So, you wouldn’t have anything against me checking underneath your pillow? <</talk>> She you in the eyes and puts one hand onto your chest. She uses the other hand to slowly lift her dress. <<talk "eve">> Isn’t there something else you would rather look underneath. <</talk>> She asks you playfully. [[Under the pillow.|Submitted scene Eve phone a11]] [[Under her dress.|Submitted scene Eve phone a12]] Submitted by Mathias<<set $eve.fear += 2>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

The hand on your chest loses its strength as you reach out for her pillow. She looks as if she has given up. To no one’s surprise you find the phone laying underneath the pillow. You grab it and turn it on. What greets you on the screen surprises you. The photo album is filled with pictures of Eve in several locations throughout the mansion. You open the first picture. It is a selfie Eve took next to the pool. In the background you can see someone’s rear sticking out of the pool. You scroll to the next photo. Here Eve is standing at the bottom of the stairs, the camera is pointed slightly upwards and Eve’s face is contracted into a devilish smile. At the top part of the stars you see Anna currently walking upwards. The angle is just low enough to show Anna’s panties. You look at Eve, who is still standing beside you. Her facial expression is nearly the same as the one in the picture. <<talk "player">>Does Anna know about these? <</talk>> She shakes her head, <<talk "eve">>Nobody knows anything, I’m the perfect spy! <</talk>> She says with pride as she looks you in the eyes. As you try scrolling to the next picture, the phone is stolen out of your hand by the small devil beside you. Eve rapidly scrolls trough pictures until she lands on one, she likes. <<talk "eve">> Look, look. This is the best one! <</talk>> She says energetically. The picture shows Anna changing her clothes. Her naked backside is on full display and her curvy body is lightened up by stray beams of sunlight passing through the window. //It looks oddly professional, she might actually have some talent for this.// The two of you enjoy some of the pictures ranging from artistic sneak peeks of Anna’s curvy body, to nature pictures with nearly professional attention to details. //She brings out so much detail with such a bad camera. Maybe I should buy her a professional one. // That thought doesn’t last long, when you realize what might happen if the sneaky girl got her own camera. Suddenly a picture you had not expected crosses the screen. Eve goes to the next picture before you’ve completely taken the picture in. //Was that a picture of Eve standing naked in front of a mirror? // You don’t get to think about it much as a picture of you crosses the screen. You’re standing in your room getting dressed. //When did she take this? How did I not notice? // Somewhat driven by the embarrassment from the picture, you take the phone back and scroll back towards what you thought were the nude picture. Eve tries getting the phone, but her small size makes overpowering you almost impossible. The picture is saucier than expected. You get a good look at it, keeping Eve at a distance with a single hand. The composition and lighting in the picture are great, but what really makes the picture is the girl in the center. The girl is Eve, she is standing in the middle of the frame in the front of a mirror. Her posture is alluring, but not explicitly sexual. Everything is covered up with small gestures. Her breasts are covered by her free arm and her vagina is covered by her leg, which she has moved forwards a little, almost as if she was taking a small step. When you look up at Eve her face has changed to a warm shade of red. <<talk "eve">> I can explain… It is… My artistic masterpiece…<</talk>> Eve’s explains. [[Tell her off.|Submitted scene Eve phone a111]] [[Praise her artistic talent.|Submitted scene Eve phone a112]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>You really shouldn’t take pictures like these. People generally discourage it. How do you know where these pictures will end up and what they will be used for?<</talk>> Eve nervously skits her foot around on the floor. <<talk "eve">>Well, I just thought that you would be the only person to see it, and I trust you.<</talk>> After some thought you decide to… [[Keep the photos.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1111]] [[Delete the pictures.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1112]] Submitted by Mathias<<set $affection -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 2>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You look at Eve and break the silence that has been hanging in the room for a while now. <<talk "player">>Can you promise me not to do something like this again. <</talk>> Eve nods in shame, knowing that what she has done was wrong. <<talk "player">>That said, I’ll take the pictures and keep them for safe storage. <</talk>> Eve eyes shoot open in shock, her head nods fast. You close the phone and look at Eve. <<talk "player">>Don’t do this again.<</talk>> You say somewhat sternly. Eve snickers and answers you in a very insincere voice. <<talk "eve">>Nooo… I won’t get caught doing that again…<</talk>> She shoots you a smile, leaps off the bed and runs to the door. Just before leaving she turns to look at you and laughs silently. <<set $eve.affection +=1>><<addtime { minute : 10 }>>[[End.|servant area]] Submitted by Mathias

You decide that deleting the pictures is the best course of action. <<talk "player">>I’m going to delete the pictures, although not the nature ones.<</talk>> <<talk "player">>If you take any more pictures, keep them non nude, okay?<</talk>> Eve nods, looking as if somebody had taken her favorite toy. Deleting the pictures takes quite some time, there were a lot more than expected. Making yourself delete the pictures wasn’t easy, but you got it done. Eve is gone by the time you look up from the phone. //I hope she learnt something from this. // <<addtime { minute : 10 }>><<set $eve.affection -=1>><<set $eve.trust -=1>>[[End.|servant area]] Submitted by Mathias

Her offer is tempting. For a short while, you thought about resisting the temptations, but you’re too weak and your hand reaches towards Eve’s small body. Just as you almost reach the hem of her dress, the door opens. <<talk "anna">>Eve, have you seen…<</talk>> Anna's voice cuts out when she sees you on the bed with Eve.

Anna looks worried and whispers back into her sisters’ ear. <<talk "eve">>Just once. <</talk>> Eve pleads to her sister. Anna looks as if she has been placed in an uncomfortable position. <<talk "anna">>Promise me.<</talk>> Eve grabs her sister’s hand and intertwines their pinkies. Anna nods and leaves the room.

Anna trembles as she answers your question. <<talk "anna">>Y-Yes <<print $anna.callsPlayer>><</talk>> Anna walks towards the door slowly, constantly looking behind her.

You step away from Eve and fix your clothes. <<talk "player">>What did you want? <</talk>> You ask Anna. <<talk "anna">>I wanted to ask Eve if she had seen the mop.<</talk>> Her voice only just reaches you from its weakness. <<talk "player">>Eve, can you help your sister find it?<</talk>> She sends you a disappointed look, but soon winks at you and nods. <<talk "eve">>I think I left it in the bath.<</talk>> Anna nods and pulls on her sister’s arm. <<talk "eve">>Can we take a bath before cleaning? <</talk>> She looks at her sister and turns her head to you. <<talk "player">>Yeah. <</talk>> <<talk "anna">>Yes. <</talk>> You say simultaneously. The girls leave the room, but before slipping out the door, Eve turns her head and looks at you. With her right hand she signals you to follow. //Why does she want me to follow along? // [[Follow.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1221]] [[Stay.|servant area]] Submitted by Mathias<<set $eve.affection -=1>> <<addtime { minute : 10 }>>

//What does she want? // Curious, you decide to follow the girl. After walking a comfortable distance behind the girls, they reach the bath. Anna goes in first and softly pulls her sister along. You walk up to the door that Eve left open. //Probably on purpose. // The gap is just big enough for you to see through. Carefully nearing the door, you peek through the gap. On the other side Eve and Anna are getting ready for their bath. Eve makes sure to make a show out of every action. Stripping her clothes off sensually, peeking at you and blowing kisses when Anna doesn’t look. At one point she bends over, making sure that you can see everything and shakes her ass. Anna notices and looks weirdly at her but drops asking about it. When they are getting ready to go into the bath Eve drops something in front of Anna. Anna bends over to pick up the item. By luck, or Eve’s amazing planning, everything lines up and you get another show. After this Eve walks to the door. <<talk "eve">>Do you want to join us? <</talk>> <<addtime { minute : 25 }>>[[Yes.|Submitted scene Eve phone a12211]] [[No.|Submitted scene Eve phone a12212]] Submitted by Mathias

Once your hands reach the petite back, you press your thumbs down, searching for the right spots. Eve wiggles underneath her, slowly moving down the bed towards you. Uninterrupted by her movements you continue massaging Eve’s back, slowly getting a hang of the where the right spots are. The massage goes on for a while, the only interruptions being Eve crawling backwards sometimes. You’re just about to let go, when you notice Eve’s dress has crawled up her body from her crawling, making everything from her panties to her upper back visible under the dress. Noticing that you have stopped massaging, Eve stretches her back, bending her body. //Is she doing this on purpose? // Confused you just look at Eve. She looks back at you with the same impish smile she used before the massage. //She had this planned from the start. // She gives her ass a little shake, inviting you nearer.

Anna quickly gathers her clothes and puts them on, you look at her the whole time. Just as Anna gets ready to leave the room you feel someone grabbing onto your cock, slowly moving her hand up and down. A soft moan escapes your lips in response to this unexpected event. <<talk "anna">>Are you okay <<print anna.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>> <<talk "player">>Yes, I just... Hit my elbow.<</talk>> She nods and turns around, now facing the door she starts moving again. You look to your right and see Eve smiling at you. After looking you in the eyes, Eve moves towards the middle of the pool, letting go of your dick in the process. Anna has reached the door and grabs the mop standing right beside it. //I thought she was going to leave. // As Anna starts cleaning you feel a new sensation on your dick. You look in front of you and see Eve underneath the surface of the water with your dick in her mouth. Even more pleasure than before washes over you, making you unable to withhold the grunt that escapes your lips. Anna looks at you again. <<talk "anna">>Are you sure you're okay? <</talk>> Trying to fake a relaxed face, you smile and nod towards her. <<talk "player">>I'm completely fine.<</talk>> You manage to squeeze those words out normally. Eve continues sucking your dick, the only interruptions being her head bobbing up to take a breath. Anna is nearly done with the cleaning of the room, when she starts moving towards the bath. Not wanting to be caught, you prod Eve's head softly, trying to get her attention. Eve's head exits the water and winks at you, her mouth has been replaced with her hand, mot giving you any rest. Anna reaches the water and cleans around it. Eve looks at her sister and smiles, hiding the handjob with her body. Anna looks at her and smiles, oblivious to what is going on behind her little sister. As Anna turns around to enter the sauna, Eve submerges back under the water and resumes what she was doing before. You feel your body tighten up and poke Eve's head. She understands what you mean and take as much of you in her mouth as she can, just before you blow your load. You can feel the cum spewing out of your dick and down her throat. Eve swallows everything and resurfaces again. She jumps out of the pool and runs to her clothes. You consider getting out of the bath but stay in there for a while gathering energy. After a few minutes, you almost feel sick from all the heat, which makes you leave the bath. <<set $eve.affection += 4>><<set $eve.trust += 2>><<set $eve.fear -= 2>><<addtime { minute : 22 }>>[[End.|servant area]] Submitted by Mathias

You get out the bath and begin drying off, Anna is still standing at the door, staring at you. Her eyes are focused on you, or well, some part of you. Whenever Anna thinks that you aren't looking, her eyes move towards your lower body. Her staring doesn't break until you're dressed, after which she stops staring at you. <<talk "player">>Did you enjoy the show? <</talk>> Anna blushes and looks away. <<talk "anna">>I-I'll start cleaning up here...<</talk>> Anna stutters and begins walking in a fast pace towards the mop standing by the door.

You walk over to the wall and take the mop into your hands, while you were getting ready, Anna has already started cleaning. With the mop in your hands you start helping Anna with the cleaning. The two of you mop the room for some minutes before having mopped everything. You look over to the bath, Eve left it some time ago, leaving it empty. Anna walk over to it and reaches into the pool of water. The water starts swirling and draining out of the bath. Soon the bath is empty, and Anna is on her knees in the now empty bath. With a sponge in her hand, she scrubs the sides of the bath. <<talk "player">>I'll leave the last to you. <</talk>> Anna nods without breaking her focus on the sides of the tub. <<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.affection += 3>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>>[[End.|servant area]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Her head moves faster than before and her hands reach out for your balls. Her aggressiveness grows and she begins softly fondling your balls with extreme carefulness. Feeling that you can no longer hold it in, you grab Eve's head under the water and press it down, forcing your cock into her throat. As you cum, you can feel Eve tightening her lips around your cock. As she finishes drinking down your cum, she bobs her head up from the water again. <<talk "eve">>I almost felt like a secret spy, doing things while hiding from the enemy.<</talk>> Eve runs over to her clothes and gets dressed.

She looks up into your eyes and pulls your pants down. Without warning she jumps upwards. In that one motion, knocking you down onto the bed and kisses you. Her flushed face moves away from yours, and after looking you in the eyes for a while, she moves back down to your exposed penis. With a hungry look on her face she grabs your hard dick and slowly move her hand up and down. Her face slowly near your crotch and she takes most of your dick into her mouth. Her small head bobs slowly up and down, with her tongue rolling around inside. Unable to resist, you let a moan slip out. Not giving you any time to rest, she continues her assault. Her tongue now moves even more furiously than before. A combination of shock and pleasure sets in, as you feel her tiny hands softly fondling your balls. Knowing that you are about to burst you choose to...

You pull out of her mouth and place your dick in front of her face. Eve quickly understands what you are doing and grabs onto your dick and jerks it fast. Her other hand squeezes your balls with a little more force than before. Sensing that you are about to cum, Eve opens her mouth and moves it closer to your manhood. Unable to resist, you shoot your sticky cum all over her cute face. She gives you a smile, her face still covered in cum before turning around.

You pull out of her mouth and place your dick in front of her face. Eve quickly understands what you are doing and grabs onto your dick and jerks it fast. Her other hand squeezes your balls with a little more force than before. Just before you cum, you grab onto your dick and point it downwards, making your cum spill all over her chest.

[[Fuck her softly.|Submitted scene Eve phone a121111]] [[Fuck her hard.|Submitted scene Eve phone a121112]] Submitted by Mathias<<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Unable to hold your cum in for much longer, you begin thrusting your hips forwards. Eve tears up a little, but slowly changes her focus to be on pleasuring you with her tongue. Grunting, you thrust as deep as you can into her tiny mouth and let everything out. She keeps her lips tightened around your dick for a while, before releasing it out into the colder air. Eve opens her mouth and lifts her tongue. Her mouth is completely empty. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for the treat <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>> She turns around on the bed, positioning herself on all fours and shakes her ass.

You crawl up to Eve on your knees and place your hand on her small but soft ass. Lovingly, you carefully trace her hips with your fingers. Her moans motivate you to add a little more force. Eve pulls her ass away from you, after which you pull her closer and move your face towards her petite bottom. You spread the, now moaning, girl’s ass cheeks and move your face in. At first you only trace her pussy with your tongue, but after getting her wet, you insert your tongue more roughly. You pull your face back and replace it with your left hand. With your other hand you slowly massage her ass. You pull her towards you with both your hands and line yourself up with her pussy. <<talk "eve">> Stop teasing me so much, please do something." You slowly move your lower body forwards, grinding yourself against her walls as much as possible. You lean forwards and grab onto her <<print $eve.chest>> breasts, fondling them slowly as you continue fucking the small girl. As you feel her body tense up, you move your hand back onto her hips and speed your thrusting up. Eve’s back bends as she orgasms. Her vaginal walls spasm around your dick, which further increases the pleasure you are experiencing.

You bottom your cock out inside Eve and smother her insides with your thick white semen. Eve’s orgasm is still going on and ends just after yours. Exhausted, you pull your cock out and gaze upon the small woman you just fucked. Cum is flowing out of her in a slow, thick trail. You clean her up and without ceremony, leave.

You pull the alluring ass towards you and place it in front of you. You place your hand on her ass and massage it roughly.

Fuck me already. <</talk>> In response to her battiness you give her ass a firm spank. She whimpers underneath you, but she does not try to escape. Now that she is thoroughly wet, you insert your hard cock into her. She looks as if she has just had a small orgasm from the initial penetration, but you keep thrusting aggressively into her. You give her ass another slap without interrupting your thrusting. Eve keeps moaning but does not say anything. With a firm grip on her hips, you speed your thrusting up and thrust as deep as possible. Eve moans every time you hit her cervix, deep inside her. Feeling your eminent orgasm building up you choose to… [[Push deep inside her.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1211121]] [[Pull out.|Submitted scene Eve phone a1211122]] Submitted by Mathias<<set $eve.affection += 3>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<addtime { minute : 14 }>>

Her small ass is too tempting. You move your hands sensually from her small hips over her ass and onto her pussy. Having reached what you wanted, you continue the massage, although now with a different incentive. With slow strokes up and down, you tease the small girl to near submission. Her panties slowly soak and cling tightly onto her pale skin. You grab the elastic and pull her panties down slowly. While pulling them you reach your head in between her petite thighs and lick her soaking pussy, making sure to be as noisy as possible. Her moans and the sopping sound of her vagina are the only sounds permeating though the room. You insert your tongue and reach around her body to pinch her clitoris. Eve reacts by pulling her hips forwards, away from you. You grab her hips and turn her around, so she lies on her back. She breathes heavily while she looks at you. You lean forwards again, placing your head in between her small, but still soft thighs. She squeezes her thighs together, trapping your head. Her moaning continues as you tongue fuck the small girl. The wet walls around your tongue tighten and her back bends as she experiences a bit orgasm. Without giving her any time to rest, you line your cock up for insertion. Eve looks in your eyes and barely manages to extract some words in between her heavy breaths. <<talk "eve">>Wait a second please…<</talk>> Not obliging. You press your cock as deep inside the petite girl as possible. She moans loudly in another orgasm, which tightens her already tight walls around your prick. With the increased friction, you are forced to slow down somewhat, but you keep thrusting into her. Eve looks somewhat ragged, but she has a large smile on her face. You lean down and kiss her, which makes her orgasm once more.

Eve locks your bodies together with her legs. Her pussy spasms and tightens around your cock, the tightening proves too much and your dick explodes with semen.

When you enter the servant area, you find Anna, Eve and Yami all sitting in a little circle. You pause, looking at the trio as they talk. Yami, clearly there for a bit of time with Anna, awkwardly tries to flirt while Anna seems completely oblivious to what is happening. Eve however seems to realize exactly what is happening, mischief in her expression as she makes little comments and remarks in an attempt to tease Yami. After a particularly effective barb from Eve, Yami tenses, a flash of anger in her expression as Eve fights the urge to giggle. Anna looks at her sister oddly, but clearly doesn't quite grasp what is going on, though it's equally clear that she's starting to realize something more than a simple conversation is playing about between the three of them. Even as you watch, you realize that the situation is quickly coming to a head. Eve forging fearlessly forward with snark while Anna's expression starts to take on a haunted quality. All the while, Yami bristles, her voice lowering ominously.

For another minute the banter continues until Eve finally gets the best of Yami. Yami's temper flares, her hand balling into a fist as she growls at Eve, the sound just shy of a yell. Eve looks triumphant, but the look of alarm on Anna's features takes on a life of its own. As soon as she reacts, Yami realizes her mistake, her anger vanishing as her dark eyes widen. Then like a trapped animal, her eyes dart about right until the moment they fall on you. <<if $yami.affection gte 650>>In the blink of an eye, annoyance flashes across her features as if you standing there instead of punishing Eve is some form of betrayal.<<else>>In the blink of an eye, the anger returns, this time focused on you, as if you somehow had a hand in what just happened.<</if>> Surging to her feet, Yami storms toward you, but rather than come for you she brushes past you, making a point of not stepping around you but instead hitting you with her shoulder.

By the time Yami finishes, you can see that flicker of intensity in her eyes and you start to step out of the way to let her pass even before she mutters the words. <<talk "yami">>I should make my rounds.<</talk>>\ With a simple nod, she moves past on her way to the stairs.

But she blinks, and in the time it takes for her to close her eyes, her expression stills, and by the time she opens them again she sighs. She holds your eyes for several seconds before almost imperceptibly nodding. Seeming to recognize that you're actively trying to defuse the situation, she turns her eyes back to Anna.

Your eyes widen in surprise when you see one of the girls in the room. It looks at a glance like she was cleaning something just outside the window. Maybe a spot on the glass, then the window fell on her trapping her in place. Now she's stuck, her bottom pointed right at you.

Misaki speaks softly. <<talk "misaki">>Anna? That's you right?<</talk>>\ Her hand slides across the wall until it finds the windowsill, then slips along the windowsill until she finds Anna's hip. You can hear Anna say something in reply, but you can't make out the words. <<talk "misaki">>You aren't hurt?<</talk>>\ Misaki asks, slight concern in her voice, her expression softens to relief when Anna replies. As you watch, a little smile starts to form on Misaki's lips, her hand drifting from Anna's hip to her bottom. This time, you hear Anna's words. <<talk "anna">>What are you doing?<</talk>>\ Her tone is full of surprise, but you detect no real fear in her voice.

Its only a few seconds later before you can see her bare ass. Your hand returns to her ass, this time enjoying the feel of her smooth skin against your fingertips. You're rewarded with the sight of goosebumps breaking out across her flesh. You allow your fingers to dip between her legs, seeking out her sex and discovering it to be just a little wet. <<talk "thought">>It should suffice.<</talk>>\ ''You think as you move into position.'' The tip of your cock touches her, and you hear a sound of what might be surprise. She moves slightly, parting her legs to allow you better access. <<talk "thought">>She might be scared of me, but I think she genuinely enjoys this kind of attention.<</talk>>\ Nudging forward, you can feel the lips of her pussy brushing along the crown of your cock. You do this several times until you can feel her moisten, then angle yourself for entry. She's not as wet as you might like, but its enough to grant you entry as you slide into her. She makes a sound that starts as a soft grunt and evolves into something closer to a moan. Pulling back, you slide back into her again, this time your entry is much easier. After several more thrusts, your cock is slick with her juices and you have no trouble setting a rapid, somewhat urgent pace. For just a couple of minutes you fuck her, the sound of your hips slapping her ass slowly becoming wetter as her pussy leaks her juices onto your cock and hips. Playfully, you slap her ass. She squeals, though it is hard to say if the sound was from displeasure or simply surprise. The way her pussy clamps down on your cock though is enough to push you over the edge. You thrust deep inside and hold yourself there. Your balls pull up tight as your cock twitches. Spurt after spurt of your cum fills her pussy, deposited directly against her cervix. After taking a few seconds to catch your breath, you pull out. Before tucking your penis back into your pants, you reach out with one hand and lift the window off of Anna. She quickly scrambles out of the window, somehow managing to give you a grateful smile while still looking embarrassed. <<talk "anna">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ ''She says in a small voice, her cheeks red as she blushes.'' <<talk "player">>You're welcome.<</talk>>\ Pausing just long enough to watch her redress herself properly, you return to what you were doing. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 700>>\ <<talk "anna">>Is someone there?<</talk>>\ Anna calls. <<talk "anna">>Eve? <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?

You're rewarded with the sight of goosebumps breaking out across her flesh. You allow your fingers to dip between her legs, seeking out her sex and discovering it to be wet and ready. You think as you move into position. The tip of your cock touches her, and you hear her moan softly. She moves slightly, parting her legs to allow you better access. <<talk "thought">>Being stuck in a window doesn't make her any less eager.<</talk>>\ Nudging forward, you can feel the lips of her pussy brushing along the crown of your cock. Her labia part easily, your cock gliding along her slit. You do this several times until you can feel her pushing back against you, trying to angle herself so you will enter her. You allow it, your cock sliding home in one long thrust. Her moan fills the air. After a couple of slow thrusts, you begin to fuck her with a rapid, almost urgent pace. For just a couple of minutes you fuck her, the sound of your hips slapping her ass slowly becoming wetter as her pussy leaks her juices onto your cock and hips. Playfully, you slap her ass. She squeals in delight, the sound becoming a moan in the very next thrust. The way her pussy clamps down on your cock though is enough to push you over the edge. You thrust deep inside and hold yourself there. Your balls pull up tight as your cock twitches. Spurt after spurt of your cum fills her pussy, deposited directly against her cervix. After taking a few seconds to catch your breath, you pull out. Before tucking your penis back into your pants, you reach out with one hand and lift the window off of Anna. She quickly scrambles out of the window, trying to look upset, but her smile ruins the effect.

You allow your fingers to dip between her legs, seeking out her sex and discovering it to be only a little wet. <<talk "thought">>This will never do.<</talk>>\ Reaching under her, you find her clit with your index finger, your thumb resting along her slit. Anna makes a sound, squirming. <<talk "thought">>She's got a body made for sex, and her body knows it.<</talk>>\ Moving your thumb, you can feel it nestle deeper between the wetness of her labia. <<talk "thought">>Even if she doesn't admit it to herself.<</talk>>\ Feeling that she's become wet enough, you move into position, replacing your fingers with your rigid cock. The tip of your penis touches her, and you hear her try to stifle a moan. Even though she initially tenses at your touch, she hesitantly parts her legs a little to give you better access to her pussy. Nudging forward, you can feel the lips of her pussy brushing along the crown of your cock. Her labia part easily, your cock gliding along her slit. You do this several times until you can feel that your penis is nicely lubricated in her juices, then you angle your thrust for entry and slide inside in one easy thrust. You rest deep inside of her for a second, enjoying the feel of her cunt gripping your manhood. Then without hesitation, you begin to fuck her at a rapid, almost urgent pace. For just a couple of minutes you fuck her, the sound of your hips slapping her ass fills the air around you. Playfully, you slap her ass. She cries out at the painful strike. The way her pussy clamps down on your cock though is enough to push you over the edge. You thrust deep inside and hold yourself there. Your balls pull up tight as your cock twitches. Spurt after spurt of your cum fills her pussy, deposited directly against her cervix. After taking a few seconds to catch your breath, you pull out. Before tucking your penis back into your pants, you reach out with one hand and lift the window off of Anna. She quickly scrambles out of the window, her expression carefully neutral. <<talk "anna">>Thank you...<</talk>>\ She says in a small voice, her cheeks red as she blushes. <<talk "player">>You're welcome.<</talk>>\ Pausing just long enough to watch her redress herself properly, you return to what you were doing. <<set $anna.trust -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 1>>\ <<elseif $anna.affection gte 300>>\ <<talk "anna">>Is someone there?" Anna calls, "Eve? <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>? Can you help me please?<</talk>>\ You can't help but notice that she's a little hesitant when calling your name. You place your hand lightly on her ass, giving a playful squeeze. She lets out a surprised squeak. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!<</talk>>\ You can see her trying to look over her shoulder at you. <<talk "player">>It appears that you're in quite the compromising situation.<</talk>>\ Her laughter holds no real humor in it. <<talk "anna">>I'm sure this will seem funny once I'm out. I think you should just be able to push the window up, I just don't have the leverage to do so in this position.<</talk>>\ Listening to her, you move to stand directly behind her. While she talks, you quietly open the fly of your pants and fish your hardening cock out. When she finishes talking, you start to work on her clothes in preparation for what you have planned. <<talk "anna">>What are you doing?<</talk>>\ She says slowly, though you can tell from her tone that she is resigning herself to what she knows will come next. <<talk "thought">>She may not love me, but she isn't repulsed by what I'm doing either.<</talk>>\ Its only a few seconds later before you can see her bare ass. Your hand returns to her ass, this time enjoying the feel of her smooth skin against your fingertips. You're rewarded with the sight of goosebumps breaking out across her flesh. You allow your fingers to dip between her legs, seeking out her sex and discovering it to be damp to the touch. <<talk "thought">>She's a little wet, but not wet enough. This will never do.<</talk>>\ Reaching under her, you find her clit with your index finger, your thumb resting along her slit. Anna makes a sound, squirming. <<talk "thought">>She's got a body made for sex, and her body knows it.<</talk>>\ Moving your thumb, you can feel it nestle deeper between the wetness of her labia. You can tell from the way her hips move when you lightly rub her clit that you're having your desired effect on her. Feeling that she's become wet enough, you move into position, replacing your fingers with your rigid cock. The tip of your penis touches her, and you hear her try to stifle a moan. After only the faintest pause, she parts her legs a little to give you better access to her pussy. Nudging forward, you can feel the lips of her pussy brushing along the crown of your cock. Her labia part easily, your cock gliding along her slit. You do this several times until you can feel that your penis is nicely lubricated in her juices, then you angle your thrust for entry and slide inside in one easy thrust. Anna lets out an involuntary moan as you fill her with your length. You rest deep inside of her for a second, enjoying the feel of her cunt gripping your manhood. Then without hesitation, you begin to fuck her at a rapid, almost urgent pace. For just a couple of minutes you fuck her, the sound of your hips slapping her ass fills the air around you. You can feel her becoming wetter the longer you continue. Playfully, you slap her ass. She cries out in surprise. The way her pussy clamps down on your cock though is enough to push you over the edge. You thrust deep inside and hold yourself there. Your balls pull up tight as your cock twitches. Spurt after spurt of your cum fills her pussy, deposited directly against her cervix. After taking a few seconds to catch your breath, you pull out.

You can see her trying to look over her shoulder at you. <<talk "player">>It appears that you're in quite the compromising situation.<</talk>>\ Her tone is reserved as she speaks. <<talk "anna">>I know, I should have braced the window to clean the sill.

While she talks, you quietly open the fly of your pants and fish your hardening cock out. When she finishes talking, you start to work on her clothes in preparation for what you have planned. She tenses at your touch, but she remains silent. <<talk "thought">>At least she knows her place. She's not going to complain when I take what's mine.<</talk>>\ Its only a few seconds later before you can see her bare ass. Your hand returns to her ass, this time enjoying the feel of her smooth skin against your fingertips. Her body is rigid, but to her credit she does not try to pull away from your touch. You allow your fingers to dip between her legs, seeking out her sex and discovering it to be nearly dry to the touch. <<talk "thought">>Guess I'll need to be a little rough to get inside.<</talk>>\ You move into position, slapping her ass with your hard cock. The sound she makes is close to a whimper. When the tip of your penis touches her, she tenses, bracing herself for what is about to come. You slide your cock up and down her slit a couple of times, nestling it between her labia. When you feel her opening, you angle yourself for entry and shove forward. A sound, half grunt, half cry, escapes Anna's lips as you shove half your length into her. Pulling back until only the tip of your cock is inside of her still, you shove forward a second time, hilting yourself inside of her this time. You rest deep inside of her for a second, enjoying the feel of her cunt gripping your manhood. <<talk "thought">>This is a body that was made for sex, her pussy is fantastic.<</talk>>\ Then without hesitation, you begin to fuck her at a rapid, almost urgent pace. For just a couple of minutes you fuck her, the sound of your hips slapping her ass fills the air around you. It's not until you're nearly finished that you can feel her becoming wet, her body's reaction finally winning out over her dislike for you. Playfully, you slap her ass. She cries out, the sound is clearly a moan of despair. The way her pussy clamps down on your cock though is enough to push you over the edge. You thrust deep inside and hold yourself there. Your balls pull up tight as your cock twitches. Spurt after spurt of your cum fills her pussy, deposited directly against her cervix. After taking a few seconds to catch your breath, you pull out part way then slide in again. <<talk "thought">>Guess she just needed a load inside of her. She finally feels wet enough to fuck.<</talk>>\ In spite of your train of thought though, you reluctantly withdraw. Before tucking your penis back into your pants, you reach out with one hand and lift the window off of Anna. She quickly scrambles out of the window, when she turns toward you she tries to keep her expression neutral but fails. You can clearly see the haunted look in her eyes, and the tears streaking her face. <<talk "anna">>Thank you...<</talk>>\ ''She says in a small voice, her cheeks red with shame.'' <<talk "player">>You're welcome.<</talk>>\ Pausing just long enough to watch her redress herself properly, you return to what you were doing. <<set $anna.affection -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.trust -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.fear += 1>>\ <<else>>\ <<talk "anna">>Is someone there?<</talk>>\ Anna calls. <<talk "anna">>Eve? <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?

Its clear that she doesn't like me, but she's not so scared of me that she's going to make this difficult either.<</talk>>\ Its only a few seconds later before you can see her bare ass.

You slide your cock up and down her slit a couple of times, nestling it between her labia. When you feel her opening, you angle yourself for entry and shove forward. A sound, half grunt, half cry, escapes Anna's lips as you shove half your length into her.

It takes you only a second to figure out that she's rubbing her clit. <<talk "thought">>She knows this is going to hurt if she's not wet enough. This should make the experience better for both of us. Good girl.<</talk>>\ Then without further hesitation, you begin to fuck her at a rapid, almost urgent pace.

Seeing no harm in what is happening, you lean against the wall and watch. Misaki's hand gives Anna's bottom another playful squeeze, then with both hands she starts to slowly raise the other woman's skirt to reveal a pair of simple white panties. You can't help but smile just a little at the sight, that smile growing when Anna wiggles her bottom, presumably trying to free herself from the window. Misaki however is more focused, her hands feel the panties for a moment, then finds the elastic top and slides them downward. It crosses your mind that if Anna ''really'' didn't want the other woman to pull her panties off, the simple act of spreading her legs a bit would have prevented them from being removed with so much ease. As the panties pool around around Anna's ankles, you see Misaki's hands drift over the naked globes of Anna's ass, one hand straying between the other woman's legs and across Anna's sex. Anna lets out a little whimpering cry, not a cry of fear or revulsion, but one of unexpected pleasure that she's unable to suppress. Misaki, with one hand between Anna's legs, reaches for the floor with the other, finding the ground before kneeling behind her. She seems to breathe deeply, then leans in, her lips touching Anna's ass, then leaving a little trail of kisses as she makes her way toward Anna's vagina From where you are standing, you can see Anna shudder slightly, her legs parting to allow Misaki better access as if of their own accord. Then Misaki presses her face deeper into Anna's sex, and in your mind's eye you imagine Misaki's tongue sliding past the delicate folds of Anna's pussy. <<if $anna.isCumFilledVaginally>>\ Misaki leans back suddenly, her voice filled with joy as she speaks. <<talk "misaki">>Oh! I think master left me a treat inside of you!<</talk>>\ You can just see a hint of semen on Anna's exposed pussy before Misaki dives back in. <<else>>\ Misaki makes a happy cooing sound as she tastes the other woman's pussy. <</if>>\ Anna squirms, clearly enjoying what is happening in spite of her misgivings. Every half hearted protest, every wiggle seems only to encourage Misaki. You can actually hear Misaki lapping at Anna's folds, her tongue working tirelessly and skillfully at Anna's wet pussy. Suddenly, Anna begins to quiver as she experiences a powerful orgasm. At the same time she lets out a high pitch squeal that you hear clearly from where you're standing. <<talk "thought">>Wow, I bet anyone outside would have heard that.<</talk>>\ You see Misaki smile, licking her lips as she starts to stand, her hands trailing up Anna's legs as she gets to her feet. Anna sounds breathless as she speaks. <<talk "anna">>Can, can you let me out now?<</talk>>\ Misaki giggles right before she finds the bottom edge of the window and lifts. A second later, a relieved looking Anna stumbles out of the window on unsteady legs. Not wanting to be caught, you quickly slip away before you can be noticed.

<<talk "player">>Need some help?<</talk>>\ You ask, your tone light as you approach the two ladies. Misaki straightens suddenly, her expression becoming so innocent that it screams guilt. At the same time, Anna calls from the other side of the window. <<talk "misaki">>Yes please, if you would be so kind.<</talk>>\ Walking up to the window, you gently lift it off of a grateful Anna who quickly slips from her precarious position, stretches, then blushes as she looks at you. <<talk "anna">>Sorry to be a bother.<</talk>>\ ''Anna says softly, the words coming in a rush.'' <<talk "player">>No problem.<</talk>>\ You say, noticing that Misaki is already wandering off, her cane swinging lazily in front of herself as she makes her escape.

Upon entering the gym, you can hear the soft whirring sound of a treadmill in use. The sound is punctuated by the sound of someone's feet rhythmically striking the track. Looking in that direction, you see Anna jogging. She hasn't noticed you yet, so you pause to watch her for a few seconds. It becomes almost immediately clear to you that she's been at it for a while now, every inch of exposed skin shows signs of perspiration. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> When she finally notices you, she misses a step and nearly stumbles from the treadmill. She quickly presses a button in front of her and the treadmill slows to a stop.

You aren't quite sure if she's actually looking forward to a short workout with you, or if she's just trying to answer the way she thinks you want. Either way, you step up onto the treadmill sitting beside hers. She glances at you uncertainly, but doesn't say a word as the two of you start to jog. At first the silence is an uncomfortable one, but as the minutes pass by the silence becomes more comfortable. Out of the corner of your eye, you watch her, enjoying the way she moves as she runs. A little while later, you adjust the settings on the treadmill, slowing to a walk for a minute before finally stopping. Anna mirrors your pace and turns hers off just a couple of seconds after you do.

The first thing you notice upon entering the Library is that the lights are on. Frowning to yourself, you let your eyes drift over the library interior but see no one.

<<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 150>>\ Every step you take, every movement, you make it carefully. It takes you a couple of minutes, but you manage to navigate your way to where Anna is standing without her having noticed. You're directly behind her, your eyes tracing her curves through her clothes. You have a momentary urge to grab her ass, but you have something better in mind. With how her head is tilted to one side, her neck is fully exposed to your view, only a few stray strands of hair marring her perfect skin. You lean in, your lips grazing her skin before Anna even knows you are there. She tenses and you hear a sharp intake of breath, but after a second that intake of breath becomes a soft sigh. Taking that as your cue to continue, you use one hand to brush the few strands of hair away from her neck before kissing her there again. This time she leans slightly back, her body pressing against you. You instinctively slip your arms around her middle, tugging her close. Anna turns toward you, a hesitant smile on her lips right up to the moment her her eyes meet yours. In that moment, the hesitation is gone, the smile blossoming as a faint blush stains her cheeks. <<talk "thought">>She looks happy.<</talk>>\ ''You reflect right before you kiss her again.'' This time she meets your kiss, just a simple act of pressing her lips against yours at first, but then some primal hunger is awakened within her and the kiss becomes fierce. Intense but short lived before your lips part in a breathless gasp. You can see Anna's smile reach her eyes right before she leans in for a hug, her head coming to rest on your shoulder. <<talk "player">>I saw you standing there, and I couldn't resist.<</talk>>\ Anna makes a happy sound, hugging you just a little tighter before slipping from your arms. There is a pleased expression on her face as she meets your eyes again. She looks ready to say something, but then just a hint of uncertainty enters her eyes. Instead she slips back into your embrace for a few seconds longer. <<talk "anna">>This has been one of the happiest moments of my day, thank you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You're welcome.<</talk>>\ A bit of sadness enters her voice when she speaks again. <<talk "anna">>I should get back to my chores.<</talk>>\ As the words leave her lips she slips from your embrace one final time.

Very slowly, as if she is unsure it is the correct thing to do, she turns toward you, a cautious smile on her lips as she looks at you with uncertain eyes.

Any room with a window. Bit uncommon. Rarer in Study than in other locations.

The smell of something sweet assails your nostrils the moment you enter the kitchen. Turning your head, you notice Anna working near the stove a whisk in hand as she pours the fluffy white cream into a grahm pie crust. Drawn by the smell, you take a couple of steps toward her as she works. You open your mouth to say how good the cream pie smells, but she is surprised by the sound of your voice. She jumps, squeakingas she does so. One hand lashes out to grab at the nearest thing that she can catch herself on, but unfortunately the spatula in her hand combined with the placement of the pie tin proves to be a recipe for disaster. She catches the edge of the cream pie tin, tipping it off the edge of the counter. Both you and Anna reach for the pie at the same time, instinctively trying to catch it. However you're both standing too close to one another and you see stars as your heads hit. You jerk back slightly, then your hand lashes out in an attempt to catch Anna before she can fall. You miss, your foot catching the falling pie right as it hits the floor. The pie must hit the floor at the perfect angle becuase the cream rockets into the air like a geyser of fluffy white that catches you full in the chest, spattering upward to catch you across the loer portion of your face while most of the rest flies toward Anna where it sprinkles her in spots of white. Reaching up, you wipe the worst of the pie from your face, sort of scooping the still warm filling off of your chin before licking your lips.

The first thing you notice is the fear in her eyes, like an animal cornered by a predator. She's so tense you think you can see a slight tremor go through her. <<talk "player">>Are you ok?<</talk>>\ You ask as you look her over, searching for any indication that she might have hurt herself during the fall. <<talk "anna">>I'm ok.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is barely a whisper as she replies. <<talk "player">>I didn't mean to startle you. I just thought the pie smelled good and was going to say as much.<</talk>>\ You offer a hand up which she takes with a soft 'thank you.' With a gentle pull, you bring her to her feet. Her eyes search yours for a long moment, her expression carefully guarded. She must realize that you don't plan to punish her because her expression softens slightly as she looks away. Over the next couple of minutes, you help her clean up the bulk of the mess before excusing yourself. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

A small chuckle escapes your lips. <<talk "player">>Well, that was a lot more exciting than it should have been.<</talk>>\ Anna mumbles an agreement as she gets up, her eyes moving to the mess on the floor before suring to you. <<talk "player">>I'll back away before I can cause any more trouble.<</talk>>\ You tell her before slipping away.

<<talk "player">>I //was// going to complement you because it smelled good, but it looks like you ruined it.

She nods her understanding, mumbling something that might have been a "Yes sir," though it's hard to tell for sure. Sighing, you turn on your heel and start to move away, leaving Anna to clean up in your wake. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>><<set $anna.trust += 1>>

Kitchen Lowish relationship. Basic outline: Low(ish) relationship Anna. MC walks into kitchen, startling Anna. Anna turns too quickly, either stumbling or loosing her grip on the pie. MC takes pie to the face. Player is offered choice of being angry (Punish), indifferent (Leaving her to clean up), helpful (help her clean up), or playful (Likely turning into some kind of food fight.)

Entering the ball room, you're greeted with an unexpected sight. [img[images/scenes/annaBroomDance.png]] There, in the middle of the room is Anna, her eyes closed as she moves to music that you can not hear. Her movements are fluid. <<talk "thought">>She's done this a lot.<</talk>>\ Leaning against the door frame, you watch her for a little while. Her partner is the broom in her hands, the soapy end brushing across the floor as she drifts across the ballroom. After a little while, she slows, starting to turn toward the bucket of soapy water. Half way through the motion she freezes, her eyes locked on you. You can see her blush... <<talk "anna">>I... Was just mopping the floor.<</talk>>\ She begins self consciously.

<<talk "player">>For what it's worth, I enjoyed watching you work.<</talk>>\ You give her a little smile. Her smile grows, her eyes turning downward as she bites her lip playfully. <<talk "player">>I'll let you get back to it.<</talk>>\ She nods, her smile lingering as she dips the mop back in the bucket and gets back to work. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> [[End.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

Smiling, you don't even say a word. You step forward, one hand slipping around her middle to rest on her hip shile the other seeks out her hand. When she opens her fingers, the mop clatters loudly to the floor, her eyes darting to it before quickly returning to you when you take her hand in yours. <<talk "player">>I felt the need to cut in. I hope you don't mind,<</talk>>\ Your tone is playful as you look into her eyes. There's a hint of excitement in her eyes, her pulse quickening as you pull her closer to yourself. Anna is only half a step behind you as you start to dance, quickly matching your pace as you sweep her across the ballroom, using the entire space as you move. When she finally raises her eyes to meet yours, you can see a thoughtful smile on her features. There's a surprised sound that she makes as you twirl her unexpectedly, then you pull her close, her breath hot against your lips as your forehead touches hers. Slowly, you lean further in. You can see her eyes widen slightly when she realizes you are about to kiss her. Your nose brushes the tip of hers, then your lips find the corner of her mouth. She turns her head, bringing her lips in alignment with yours. There's a hunger in her kiss as she seems to melt into your arms. When you finally pull back, her head follows yours, reluctant to break the kiss. When it finally happens, she's breathless, a little smile on her lips as her eyes open. Her eyes meet yours for just a second before she quickly looks away. The smile on her lips grows as her cheeks darken. <<talk "anna">>I, uh, should get back to work.<</talk>>\ She starts to pull away, but you quickly pull her back to you, kissing her one last time before finally releasing her. You move back to the doorway, then turn to watch her again. Her expression is happy, and she keeps casting glances at you as she starts to mop the floor again.

It's almost like she's not quite sure that its going to be ok to sit with you, or even if you're going to join her. You sit down before her, then scoot to the side to make a little more room for her, you can see a hint of relief in her eyes and she quickly takes the seat.

[[Let the silence linger.|Anna Interactive Scene 5k]] [[Talk with her.|Talk Anna]] <<else>>\ Meeting your eyes, she gives a little smile, then slips into the chair beside the couch.

With Anna sitting so close, you reach out, slipping an arm around her shoulders. There's a moment's surprise in her eyes, then her expression softens slightly as she allows you to gently pull her to your side. You can feel the warmth of her body against your side as she leans against you, her head coming to rest on your shoulder. She lets out a soft sigh of contentment. Watching her out of the corner of your eye, you see one of her arms come up, stopping just short of touching your chest. For maybe a second she pauses uncertainly, then lets her hand come to rest lightly just above your heart. When you make no complaint, she snuggles just a little closer to you. <<set $anna.affection += 1>>\ <<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.trust += 1>>\ [[Kiss her.|Anna Interactive Scene 5i]] [[Talk with her.|Talk Anna]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Should I wake her up and send her to bed, or should I just let her stay like this for a while longer?<</talk>>\ Before you can come to a decision, Anna wakes with a small start, going stiff beside you. Her eyes turn upward, worry in her features, but when she sees that its you she lets out the breath you hadn't realized she was holding as first relief, then embarrassment becomes evident on her face. <<talk "anna">>Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep.<</talk>>\ [[Tell her its ok.|Anna Interactive Scene 5f]] [[Remain silent.|Anna Interactive Scene 5g]] [[Reprimand her.|Anna Interactive Scene 5h]] <<addtime { minute : 14 }>>\

<<talk "player">>Its fine, I didn't mind at all.<</talk>>\ You give her a reassuring look. <<talk "player">>To be honest, it was kind of nice.<</talk>>\ She looks away suddenly, color creeping into her features. When she pulls away, its obvious that she's still self conscious about what just happened. <<talk "anna">>I should probably go check on Eve.<</talk>>\ Anna adds uncertainly before walking briskly toward the exit of the room.

[[End Scene.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection += 1>>\ <<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ <<set $anna.trust += 1>>\ <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\

You don't say anything in reply to Anna. Her embarrassment slowly becoming an awkward unease. <<talk "anna">>I should go check on Eve.<</talk>>\ She says a little stiffly. When she starts to pull away, its slowly, as if she is afraid that if she moves faster that it will somehow draw your wrath. When your arm finally falls away from her shoulder, she stands. Her eyes flicker between you and the exit, then with a little bow, she heads for the door without another word.

Tilting your head down, you let your lips touch the top of her head. The action seems to draw Anna's attention and she turns her head upward to look at you. With her face so close to yours, you can feel her warm breath against your lips. Her cheeks color as she seems to notice the same. You barely have to move for your lips to touch hers. <<set $anna.affection += 1>>\ Letting the kiss linger only for a moment, you give her a little half hug as you break the kiss. There may be just a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she settles back in beside you anyway. With her head resting against your side, you slip your arm around her to hold her close. You can tell from the way she relaxes against you that she's comfortable, and most likely happy, being so close to you. The two of you sit like that for quite a while, enjoying each other's presence, before Anna makes a little sound and reluctantly pulls away. <<talk "anna">>Thank you for letting me sit with you.<</talk>>\ She says through a little smile, then leans forward to give you a quick kiss on the lips. Her smile lingers, though she doesn't quite look you in the eyes when she adds. <<talk "anna">>I should go check on my sister.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You're welcome.<</talk>>\ You finally reply, watching her leave the room. [[End Scene.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 13 }>>\

<<talk "player">>You may not.<</talk>>\ At the edge of your vision, you can see her fidget, seeming unsure as to what she should do.

The silence begins to stretch, seconds ticking into minutes, all the while Anna starts to look more and more uncomfortable.

Thank you for this small indulgence.<</talk>>\ Even when she says it, the words sound as awkward as she looks. She seems to linger for just a second, in case you need anything of her, then she makes her exit. [[End Scene.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection -= 1>>\ <<addtime { minute : 4 }>>\

You can feel the corner of your mouth pull up in a slight smile, then you giver her an affectionate squeeze. <<talk "player">>If I'm being honest, I have to admit that it ''was'' a little nice.<</talk>>\ The tension in her body seems to lessen and she lets out a little sigh that you aren't quite sure if it's in relief or if it is in affection. You can feel her press herself just a little more firmly against your body for a second before she moves back a little, not quite enough to break contact with you. <<talk "anna">>I should go check on my sister.<</talk>>\ ''She says softly.'' Pressing against you just a little more firmly again, she takes a deep breath before breaking contact. As soon as her warmth is no longer pressed against you, it is like a spell has been broken and her expression turns serious. <<talk "anna">>Is there anything you need of me before I go?<</talk>>\ She asks, just a little bit of the warmth in her expression returning when she meets your eyes. Not needing anything, you dismiss her. When she heads for the exit, she pauses in the doorway to glance back at you before disappearing from sight.

You notice Anna before she sees you. Slowing to a stop, you watch her move with a sense of purpose, her expression serene in a way that you can barely make out her worry lines. <<talk "thought">>Like a tranquil spirit.<</talk>>\ The magic of the moment shatters when she notices you however. Her expression evolves into worry bordering on panic. Her even and fluid stride falters.

Stepping toward her right before she reaches you, she makes a small startled sound.

You are just about to turn a corner when you hear the sound of Eve's excited laughter echoing through the hall. Taking a peek around the corner, you notice Anna is standing on a step ladder, looking down at Eve with a furious blush of embarrassment on her face, as she tries to hide something dripping down her thigh, but not quite succeeding in doing so. Having just earlier told Anna to wear her cum-drenched panties after a steamy laundry session, you can already guess at what is happening, when you hear Anna speak up. <<talk "anna">>S-stop looking, Eve! Don't you have chores to finish already!?<</talk>>\ finally managing to wipe up the last of the cum from her thigh, only for more to drip down her other leg. <<talk "eve">>It IS cum, isn't it! I knew you had had sex with Master!<</talk>>\ Eve giddily yells, all the while Anna gives up on trying to both clean herself and dust the upper door frame, now down on the floor and drying the cum with both hands just before she finally shoos Eve away and back to her own chores. Deciding to finally make your presence known, with a small laugh of your own at Anna's expense, you turn the corner. Making your way over to Anna with a huge grin on your face, you get a great view down her cleavage as she just so happens to be bent forward in your direction as she's cleaning the last of the cum that began dripping earlier. <<talk "player">>I take it Eve found out what we had been doing earlier?<</talk>>\ You say with a chuckle, growing all the more into an actual laugh at the sight of Anna's blush turning even more crimson from embarrassment. <<talk "anna">>Y-you heard that... all of it?<</talk>>\ Barely able to look you in the eyes all the while speaking. <<talk "player">>I heard more than enough to get quite the laugh out of the interaction between the two of you.<</talk>>\ You say in a teasing tone as you cup Anna's chin in your hand, raise her face up, and envelop her lips in a deep sensual kiss as you look her deep in her eyes. The kiss making her all but melt into you as she ends up pressing her own chest against yours, practically purring in delight from the closeness to you when you've broken off the kiss. With her face now pressed against your chest, her words are a little muffled, but you make out what she says as. <<talk "anna">>That was so embarrassing...<</talk>>\ Pushing herself slightly closer to you if that was even possible at this point. Kissing her forehead lightly before saying. <<talk "player">>You know, you are adorable when you blush like that.<</talk>>\ There's only a slight pause in Anna before she pushes herself back just enough to look you in the eyes. <<talk "anna">>You are teasing me, aren't you?<</talk>>\ She says, looking at you with a slightly serious tone that is only ruined by her exaggerated pouty lips and a twinkle in her eyes. <<talk "player">>Of course I am, but that doesn't mean that it isn't true, you are adorable when you are blushing.<</talk>>\ You say, giving her a quick peck on her lips, squeezing her in a tighter hug, you finally continue. Stepping out of the embrace, Anna can barely meet your eyes, a genuine smile on her still crimson face, happiness evident in her tone as she says. <<talk "anna">>I should get back to my chores now.<</talk>>\ She then starts turning around, only to feel a playful smack on her rear as you spank her, the act causing what was left of your cum to drip down her thighs in the process. Turning back around to face you again, Anna lets out a surprised. <<talk "anna">>Master!<</talk>>\ Trying to feign annoyance at your act, but failing miserably as her pleasure is evident from the little moan she released as you spanked her. <<talk "player">>Sorry, Anna. I just couldn't resist giving your enticing butt a spank.<</talk>>\ You answer her with a grin, turning around to slowly walk away. Just before you round the corner again, you take a quick peek behind you at Anna, only to see her with a hand full of your cum held in front of her as she stares at it with a blush, only to move it to her lips before she slowly licks her hand clean of your cum. A visible shiver of pleasure through her body, at the same time there's a particularly strong stirring in your own pants as you finally walk away with a renewed grin on your face.

As your lips curl upwards into a hungry smile, Anna's eyes fill with fear. <<talk "player">>Come here.<</talk>>\ You order her, and she hesitantly complies.

She reaches up and undoes your belt, her hands trembling. As her fingers undo the fly of your pants freeing your already erect cock, she takes a deep breath and then leans forward. Starting at the base of your shaft, Anna licks all the way up to the head before taking you into her mouth. She begins to suck on your dick while bobbing up and down. The feeling is pleasant, but not enough for you to come any time soon. <<talk "thought">>Must I do everything myself?<</talk>>\ You wonder before reaching down and seizing a fistful of her <<print anna.hairColorDesc>> hair. You force her head down until her face is pressed against your crotch. You pull her head back and repeat the process, face fucking her mercilessly.

You feel your release approaching and shove her head down one final time before shooting your load down her throat. Once you are satisfied, you release your grip on her head. Anna recoils off of your cock, coughing and gasping for air. With a dismissive wave you tell her. <<talk "player">>You may leave now.<</talk>>\ She keeps her head down as she exits the space under your desk, not meeting your eyes. <<talk "anna">>Th-thank you sir.<</talk>>\ She whispers, walking hastily towards the door.

Seriously, you're turning down a bj?

You place a hand on her hip as you grin at her. <<talk "player">>What did you have in mind?<</talk>>\ Anna makes a happy noise and moves in closer. She starts to slowly kiss her way down your chest while moving until she is knelt between your legs. She kisses even lower until she is nuzzling against your erection through your pants. Her eyes stay locked on yours as her fingers nimbly undo your belt and release your cock. Making a happy sound she begins planting kisses along your length, starting at your head and working her way down the shaft. Once she reaches the base of your shaft, she slowly licks all the way up. With her <<print $anna.eyeColorDesc>> eyes staring into yours she engulfs your whole length until her lips meet your crotch. Leaning back in your chair, you reach out and start stroking her hair. She begins to moan and starts sucking your dick like its a piece of candy. <<talk "thought">>Holy hell. She's getting off on this almost as much as I am.<</talk>>\ Her eyes filled with a mixture of adoration and love, Anna speeds up. You lean back and enjoy the feeling of her mouth and throat wrapped around you. She seems to sense you getting close because she suddenly releases your dick, her hands replacing mouth. She strokes your shaft rapidly. <<talk "anna">>Please let me taste you.<</talk>>\ She pants, before wrapping her lips around your cock again. You groan as white spots cloud your vision and you cum into her mouth. Anna's moans of ecstasy fill your ears and she begins to swallow. Still looking up at you, she licks your cock clean before moving back to your side. <<talk "anna">>Is there anything more I can do for you <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ You laugh a little bit. <<talk "player">>No, thank you Anna. That was plenty.<</talk>>\ She hums happily. <<talk "anna">>I'm glad I could help.<</talk>>\ As she walks off to continue her there is a noticeable spring to her step.

<<talk "player">>No, no, this computer is just stressing me out is all.<</talk>>\ You tell Anna, waving her in. <<talk "player">>You know, perhaps you could help me with that...<</talk>>| A confused look crosses her face. <<talk "anna">>I'm not sure what you mean <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ She tells you as she steps further into the room. You smile at her and mention. <<talk "player">>Well, I did drop something under my desk. If you were to retrieve it, that would be a great help.<</talk>>\ Anna nods her head and crawls under your desk, looking around. While she searches the floor, you unbuckle your belt and open the fly of your pants as quietly as you can before fishing out your rapidly harding cock. After a few moments she begins to look up at you. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, I don't see anything down...<</talk>>\ Her voice trails off as she finds herself face to face with your throbbing shaft. <<talk "anna">>Ah, I see.<</talk>>\ Her eyes meet yours as she tells you ''"You had but to ask."'' Without any further comments, she reaches out and takes hold of your stiff member, slowly licking her way up from the base. As she reaches the head of your penis, her lips part and she slowly takes your length into her mouth. She starts sucking and bobbing her head up and down, while stroking the parts of your shaft not in her mouth. Leaning back and closing your eyes, you place a hand atop Anna's head. She seems to take this as a sign of encouragement, sucking harder and speeding up her movements. It isn't long before you feel yourself nearing the edge. You let out a pleasured sigh as you cum into Anna's mouth, feeling her swallow every drop. It's not until you are spent that she finally removes your cock from her mouth. As she stands her <<print $anna.eyeColorDesc>> eyes meet yours. <<talk "anna">>Thank you sir.<</talk>>\ She says, before excusing herself to continue with her chores.

Opening the washer, after first opening the empty dryer, you find a soggy heap of intimates, small enough to transfer in one go. Helping to this extent probably isn't going to earn you any points, but you may as well finish what you have started. It only takes two hands to transfer the entire contents of the washer in one go, though you still manage to drop an item in the process. You pick up the white panties from the floor and catch yourself before throwing them in after the rest, better check they didn't pick up any dirt from the floor first.

Opening the washer you find it filled with nothing but socks.

Sooner or later someone will find the socks already in the dryer and be faced with the mystery of who helped them out. [[Continue.|$location]] ''By CTCC42'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

Laundry

You are surprised to see the bathroom door ajar. You peer carefully around the door and are startled to see the claw-foot tub filled with water. Facing away from you is Anna, her hair hanging over the edge of the tub. Her head is tilted back enough you can see her eyes are closed and cheeks are flushed. Next to the copper tub you see a bottle of shampoo. Her clothes are folded neatly on the fuzzy top of the toilet, and she hasn’t noticed you eavesdropping yet. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> [[Leave her be.|Submitted Anna 2a]] [[Watch a moment.|Submitted Anna 2b]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\ ''By LFNPark''

You smile and leave Anna to her bath, respecting her privacy. [[Continue.|southHall]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>> ''By LFNPark''

You crack the door open a little further, giving you a better view of the tub. Your eyes widen when you see Anna’s hand gripping her left breast, thumb and forefinger squeezing her nipple. Her mouth is agape slightly, her cheeks flushed. You can see her other arm below the waterline between her legs, but ripples in the water hide its precise movements from your view. <<talk "thought">>Oh my.<</talk>>\ You are transfixed as Anna bites her bottom lip, twisting her nipple. Her eyes remain closed as she grips her sizable breast. You watch her arm move back and forth, imagining her soft fingers rubbing her clitoris. Her soft moans echo across the marble tile. You can feel your erection press uncomfortably against your pants, but your breath catches in your throat as you hear Anna mutter something. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...<</talk>>\ For a moment you worry you’ve been caught, but your fears are put to rest when you see her eyes are still closed. You hear Anna moan your name again and the movements under the water become faster, creating small waves that threaten to splash over the edge of the copper tub. [[Act boldly.|Submitted Anna 2d]] [[Leave her be.|Submitted Anna 2c]] <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>\ ''By LFNPark''

You let your eyes linger on her naked body for just a moment longer before stepping back from the door. A little smile on your lips as you leave her to her fantasy. [[Continue.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You smile and push the door open. Anna is too caught up in her ministrations to notice your soft steps. You kneel down near the head of the tub, careful not to catch her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> locks. Closer now, you can make out her hand, moving back and forth at a steady pace at her crotch. Anna’s other hand drifts from her breast to her smooth stomach, then lazily lower. She moans your name again under her breath, and you move in. You grasp her chin and turn her head towards you. Before Anna can react, you plant a kiss on her lips. Her eyes snaps open, wide as dinner plates as her body stiffens. She blushes furiously, speechless as she tries to form coherent words. <<talk "anna">>You called?<</talk>>\ You smile, then kiss her again. For a moment she remains tense, but as your hands caress her cheeks she begins to loosen. Hesitant lips move against yours, embarrassment giving way to lust as her hands withdraw from the water. Anna grips the edge of the tub and pulls herself to a kneeling position, facing you and sending water cascading from her glistening skin to the floor below. She throws her arms around your shoulders and draws you into another kiss. Her slick breasts mash against your chest, soaking the fabric of your shirt. Your hands slide down her back to her ass, squeezing each cheek. Anna moans into your mouth before her tongue seeks yours. Her hands grip the bottom of your shirt and pulls upward with a desperate urgency, breaking the kiss. You can see unadulterated lust in her eyes, her chest heaving. <<talk "thought">>Wow.<</talk>>\ She is really horny. You raise your arms and let her pull off your shirt. Immediately after it clears your head Anna surges forward, greedily devouring your lips with hers. You see Anna toss the shirt aside, her wet hands pulling at your hips. Anna abruptly starts to stand, and you follow her. You feel her unsteadiness as she steps onto the fuzzy white carpet near the tub, and you squeeze her ass once more. You can feel her hardened nipples mash and rub against your chest with each of her breaths. Anna’s hands quickly go to your belt, fumbling with her wet digits. <<talk "anna">>Please <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....<</talk>>\ Anna moans, both vulnerability and need in her voice as she pulls at your buckle in frustration. You look into her eyes, her half-lidded eyes are filled with lust on her flushed face.

You wrap your arms around her hips and lift. Anna doesn’t resist, wrapping her legs instinctively around your midsection as her mouth desperately seeks yours again. Quick steps bring you to the sink. She squeaks when you set her down on it, drawing back from her to appreciate the sexy, slick beauty before you. Anna takes a few deep breaths, her chest heaving as she unconsciously grinds her hips against yours. You grip her wrists and pull them behind her back, causing her to thrust her chest further forward against you. Anna gasps, then cries out when your mouth finds her slippery left nipple. You swear she starts to mewl as you nibble lightly on the pink nub, Anna’s body writhing against you. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>......<</talk>>\ She moans when you switch breasts with an audible pop. Anna’s legs tighten around your waist, her naked crotch grinding desperately against yours. You’re not sure if it’s the water clinging to her skin or the juices flowing from her womanhood, but the scent of her sex is heavy in the air.. You move your lips across the soft flesh of Anna’s breasts upward to her slick neck. You nip gently at her skin, keeping her wrists behind her back as she writhes. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, please...<</talk>>\ Anna breathes, arching her neck as your lips reach her ear. <<talk "player">>Please what?<</talk>>\ You whisper, nibbling on her lobe gently. Anna gasps, words catching in her throat when you release her hands, immediately gripping her waist as she falls back against the mirror. You rub her warm skin gently, pulling away from her neck to stare into her flushed face. <<talk "anna">>Please...<</talk>>\ Anna whines, one hand gripping your shoulder as the other presses a palm against the bulge in your pants. You see Anna’s chest heave as her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs stare into yours. <<talk "anna">>Please...take me...<</talk>>\ [[Oblige her.|Submitted Anna 2f]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>\ ''By LFNPark''

You smile and release her hips. You watch Anna bite her bottom lip as you undo your belt, savoring the scent of her arousal filling the bathroom. You drop your pants and kick them aside, your erection rock hard. Anna’s eyes stare at it with raging desire, wrapping a hand around it. You feel her pull you closer, guiding it to her dripping slit before gripping your hips with her legs tightly. <<talk "player">>Whatever you want, Anna.<</talk>>\ You push forward gently, your cock greedily swallowed by her pussy as you hold her sides. You can feel her nails dig into your skin as she moans. You hold her against you, savoring her wet yet warm skin against yours as you fill her until her pubic mound touches your pelvis. You watch her shudder, her legs and pussy squeezing as an orgasm rocks her. <<talk "anna">>Yes...<</talk>>\ Anna rolls her head back against the mirror, lost in her ecstasy. You take advantage of this and attack her neck with light kisses, rocking your hips against hers. When you feel her grips slacken you withdraw from her pussy, leaving just the tip within before pushing forward again. Anna moans, and you quickly find a rhythm of long strokes that seems to drive her crazy. You watch her hair swing forward and stick to her face, obscuring your view of her face momentarily before she parts it. Anna’s lips find yours again as you thrust, and when your tongue darts into her mouth she catches it and suckles it, not unlike your ministrations to her pert nipples earlier. <<talk "thought">>That’s so hot...<</talk>>\ You increase your pace, the wet slapping of your skin barely audible over the wild moans and gasps from Anna. <<talk "player">>How’s this, Anna?<</talk>>\ You whisper, your fingers darting between your bodies to rub against her clitoris as you continue thrusting. Anna throws her head back again, crying out as her legs tremble and you feel her velvet grip tighten again. You can hear the lewd slaps get even wetter. <<talk "anna">>Yes! <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!<</talk>>\ She gasps, her nails digging into your arms. You feel your own release fast approaching and start thrusting in short, hard strokes. Her eyes meet yours and keep contact with every thrust, mouth slightly agape. You find her expression incredibly erotic, the way her tongue peeks out with every gasp, her eyes never wavering. Your hands grip her waist tightly as you thrust one final time, releasing your seed inside her sweltering inner walls. You both just stay locked together, breathing heavily as you come down from your bliss. You pull away slightly and brush aside the wet hair clinging to Anna’s face. You are alarmed to see tears running down her cheeks. <<talk "player">>Are you okay?<</talk>>\ You press a hand against her cheek. Anna’s face has a small smile on it as she nuzzles your hand briefly. <<talk "anna">>Yes..I...Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ She breathes, pressing her forehead to yours. You feel her readjust against the sink, uncrossing her legs from around your waist. Your softening member slips out, glistening with your mixed fluids in the bathroom light. <<talk "player">>I should thank you. That was....very hot. You are incredible.<</talk>>\ You can feel her warm breath against your face as she shakes her head, her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes raising to meet yours, your foreheads still touching. <<talk "anna">>No. You....ah....<</talk>>\ Anna’s cheeks blush. You can see the gears of her mind turn as she tries to formulate words. Her soft palms press against your cheeks, surprising you <<talk "anna">>When....when your uncle would....take me...<</talk>>\ Your heart throbs sadly when you see her tremble, eyes turning downcast. <<talk "anna">>He....I felt like a thing....a tool for...for him.

You make me feel happy. Thank you. When you touch me....I feel so good, but I get scared.<</talk>>\ Her eyes widen, a hand covering her mouth. You assume Anna didn’t mean to let that last part slip. <<talk "anna">>I’m sorry, that’s not, . . . I mean, . . . <</talk>>\ She tries to pull away, but you grasp her cheeks with your hands and bring her back. <<talk "player">>It’s okay, Anna.

You find yourself unable to say anything, your heart breaking over this poor girl. Anna presses her face into your neck and you can feel her tears fall onto your chest.

If I could have half your strength I could die knowing my own fortitude. I am....so lucky I can make you happy. I just hope you never get tired of me.<</talk>>\ You chuckle. Anna looks at you for a moment, her eyes searching yours for something. She grabs your head and pulls your lips to hers in a passionate kiss, holding it for what feels like an eternity. When Anna pulls away you find that eternity woefully inadequate. She presses her forehead to yours, her breath hot against your cheeks as she smiles. <<talk "anna">>Never.<</talk>>\ Anna breathes, brushing her fingers down to your chest. You close your eyes, enjoying her proximity. You both stay in each others arms for a while...long enough Anna’s skin is dry when she finally pulls away. <<talk "anna">>I should go check on Eve.<</talk>>\ Anna murmurs, sliding off the counter top. You nod, reluctantly pulling away from her to collect your damp clothes. You catch Anna giving you a look as you buckle your pants, but she blushes when you turn to her. She slips her clothes back on, taking a moment to look at you. Anna gives you a final hug before stepping out of the bathroom.

South Hall Bathroom

You see Anna sitting on the black couch with the TV on and the sound low. Her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> orbs turn from the screen to you, surprise apparent on her face. <<talk "anna">>Oh, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I’m sorry….I didn’t see the time.<</talk>>\ Her pale hand reaches for the remote. <<talk "player">>It’s fine, Anna. What are you watching?<</talk>>\ You lean against the back of the couch with a smile. <<talk "anna">>N-nothing. Just a movie that’s on.<</talk>>\ You can detect the faint blush in her cheeks. <<talk "player">>Well. May I join you?<</talk>>\ You see her taken aback for a moment, surprised at your reaction. You swear you see a faint smile touch her lips, but it might be a trick of the light. <<talk "anna">>Of course.<</talk>>\ You take a seat next to her, leaving some distance between you. As you watch, you can tell the movie is some sort of romantic film. It’s not quite your cup of tea, but you can tell in sidelong glances to Anna that she’s enjoying it. <<talk "thought">>Is she getting closer?<</talk>>\ You can see Anna’s drawn her legs up underneath her, and she has her hands folded neatly on her lap. She is definitely closer to you, easily in arms reach. [[Put your arm around her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 3a]] [[Focus on the movie.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 3g]] ''By LFNPark'' <<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

You put an arm around Anna’s shoulder. She doesn’t resist, snuggling closer to you. She rests her head on your shoulder with a content sigh. You can see down the cleavage of her dress and are surprised to not see a bra. <<talk "thought">>Strange.<</talk>>\ Your attention drifts between Anna and the movie on the screen. A dating scene brings a faint smile to her lips, and you swear you catch her eyes dart to you briefly during various dialogs. During an intimate scene you can hear Anna’s breath change. You see a faint blush on her cheeks and chest spread, her eyes transfixed to the screen. Her tongue peeks out, moistening her lips. You are very surprised when you feel one of her hands brushes against your thigh. Anna seems to press herself more against you, the side of her breast suddenly against your arm. <<talk "thought">>Well...<</talk>>\ [[Grope her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 3b]] [[Lean in and kiss her.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 3c]] ''By LFNPark'' <<addtime { minute : 6 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>>

Her proximity arouses you. The arm around her shoulder shifts, your hand drifting down to brush your fingers across the top of her breast, savoring their softness. You hear Anna’s breath catch in her throat, her <<print $anna.eyeColor>> eyes drifting from the screen to your hand as hers begins to gently rub your thigh in silent approval. Your fingers begin to reach under the neckline of her dress. Anna shifts, giving your hand better access with a happy sigh. You slide it against her skin until you reach her nipple, already pert and erect. <<talk "thought">>She must really like this movie, . . .<</talk>>\ You squeeze gently, causing Anna to sharply inhale. You roll the hard bud between your thumb and forefinger, then tug gently. She arches her back, eyes half closed as she savors your touch. Your other hand moves to her shoulder, rubbing gently before pulling her dress strap down her shoulder. You press your palm against her breast, flattening its generous form before pulling up, freeing it from her dress to the cool air. Anna moans, her other hand grasping the one on her free breast. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....<</talk>>\ Her hand cups her breast with yours. Anna looks down at it as you push it up, her own nipple mere inches from her lips. Without hesitation she wraps her lips around it, voraciously attacking her own nipple with her tongue. You watch, transfixed as she laps at it before devouring it again, soft moans coming from her throat. You hear lewd sucking sounds as she continues, her hand pushing it closer as you let go and run your hand down her back. You swear she tries to fit the entire <<print $anna.chestDesc>> in her mouth. When Anna finally releases her pink nipple, you see it glistening in the light of the TV with saliva, a single strand stretching from her tongue to her breast for a moment. <<talk "player">>You are so sexy.<</talk>>\ You murmur as she sits up, her face turning to yours as your hand touches her thigh. Anna presses her back against your side, head arching back to rest on your shoulder as her hand on your thigh starts to move upward. You part her hair to one side, moving your other hand to the still covered breast. <<talk "anna">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ She whispers. Your hand slides under her dress, and you are again surprised when your fingers find no barrier between you and her sweltering sex. <<talk "player">>Someone’s being naughty.<</talk>>\ You murmur. Anna gasps as you run the tips of your fingers over her already slick slit. They come away nearly dripping with her fluids. <<talk "thought">>Guess we’ll have to clean the couch.<</talk>>\ Anna shifts again to give you better access, spreading her knees slightly as you start to rub her nether lips. You move so her back is pressed against your chest, your free hand pulling her other breast free of the dress. Her hand flails for a moment before resting against the bulge in your pants. She moans, the movie forgotten as you press your palm against her vagina and move it in a circle, rubbing against her clitoris. Anna’s hips thrust upward against your touch as you listen to her lust-filled gasps and moans. “S-so good…” Anna’s words trail off in a long groan as you push a single digit inside her sweltering and near dripping pussy. You feel her hand at your crotch start to clutch at your belt, the other tracing around her areolas. <<talk "player">>Are you close?<</talk>>\ You grin, squeezing her <<print $anna.skinTone>> breast. Anna groans, throwing her head back against yours as you slip a second finger inside. You can smell her arousal at this point, a heady scent of lust that makes your erection painful against your pants. <<talk "anna">>Y-yes...<</talk>>\ She breathes. You respond by running your thumb roughly against her clitoris as you push your fingers as deep as possible. Anna lets out a myriad of strangled gasp as her body goes rigid, hips jammed against your hand as her fluids cover your hand. You see Anna’s eyes roll back, mouth slightly agape with a whimper before she slumps back against you, her breasts heaving. <<talk "anna">>You make me feel... Good.<</talk>>\ She sighs, her hands trailing down her dress. As you withdraw your sticky hand, Anna grasps it by the wrist. She stares at it in lewd fascination for a moment before bringing your fingers to her lips. Anna shifts so she can look in your eyes as she erotically laps at your fingers, cleaning them of her fluids. <<talk "player">>You are, . . . incredibly hot.<</talk>>\ You watch her blush as Anna intertwines her hand with yours. <<talk "player">>It’s a pleasure.<</talk>>\ Anna turns her body, putting both arms around your shoulders before resting the side of her head against yours. You see her breasts still hanging out, her dress held on by a single strap on her shoulder. You begin to move one hand towards the strap, your erection a reminder of your desire...but you stop when Anna begins to talk. <<talk "anna">>Can I tell you a secret?<</talk>>\ Her tone is quiet and hesitant. <<talk "player">>Of course.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I was hoping you’d come watch this with me.<</talk>>\ One hand trails down your chest, smiling at you. <<talk "thought">>Hence why she’s not wearing any underwear.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Oh? Why not just ask me?<</talk>>\ You see her blush. <<talk "anna">>I, . . . I don’t know. I’m, . . . I do what’s asked of me. I don’t ask for things.<</talk>>\ Anna trails her fingers down to your stomach. You kiss the top of her head lightly, rubbing her shoulder. <<talk "player">>I like this movie. It, it makes me feel happy. Before you came, I sometimes wished I was one of the characters, finding someone who would treat me.<</talk>>\ She seems to ponder her next words before continuing. <<talk "anna">>Right.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>“And now?<</talk>>\ You feel her hand grasp your belt buckle as Anna looks into your eyes. She pushes the last strap on her shoulder down, letting her dress hang loosely off her <<print $anna.skinTone>> frame. <<talk "anna">>Now I don’t need to wish.<</talk>>\ [[Continue.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 3d]] ''By LFNPark'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>>

You touch her cheek with your hand, running your thumb on her cheekbone. Anna leans into your palm, nuzzling it gently before looking up at you. You smile softly and pull her closer, your arm curling around her midsection. Anna shifts closer, her arms wrapping around your shoulders as her face hovers close to yours. <<talk "anna">>Can I tell you a secret?<</talk>>\ Anna whispers, a faint blush in her cheeks. <<talk "player">>Of course.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I was hoping you’d come down here and watch this movie with me.<</talk>>\ Anna gives you a small kiss on the cheek. <<talk "thought">>Maybe that’s why she’s not wearing a bra. Now I wonder if she has any panties on.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You know, you could have just asked me.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I guess, I’m, I do what’s asked of me. I don’t ask for things.<</talk>>\ Anna presses her forehead against yours, shame creeping into her tone. You kiss her cheek and rub her lower back gently. <<talk "anna">>I like this movie. It.<</talk>>\ She pauses, clearly trying to gather her thoughts before continuing. <<talk "anna">>It makes me feel happy. Before you came, I sometimes wished I was one of the characters, finding someone who would treat me.<</talk>>\ She seems to ponder her next words before continuing. <<talk "anna">>Right.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>And now?”<</talk>>\ You ask. Anna presses her lips to yours for a few moments, one hand caressing your cheek lightly. <<talk "anna">>Now I don’t need to wish.<</talk>>\ She kisses you again, her lips moving fervently against yours. Your hands move up her waist as Anna presses her chest against yours, her nipples already hard against your shirt. You feel her tongue run along your lips before searching out your tongue, a soft moan escaping Anna. You grasp the underside of one of her breasts and squeeze gently. She pulls away just a little, her hands deftly moving to the straps of her dress, pulling them down with a smile. You watch as it slowly slides down her <<print $anna.build>> frame, revealing the <<print $anna.skinTone>> skin of her breasts and pert nipples to you. You brush a strand of <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair from Anna’s face before bringing her back to your lips with a passionate kiss. You run your hand up her thigh to her ass, confirming your suspicion of her lack of panties. <<talk "player">>Oh, you naughty girl.<</talk>>\ You chuckle. Her shy smile brings a warmth to your cheeks as her hands trail down your shirt to the buckle of your belt.

You watch Anna shift again, both hands deftly undoing your belt. You watch her bite her bottom lip as she frees your cock from your pants, desire in her eyes. She straddles your waist, knees on either side of you as one hand grips your shoulder. You rest your hands on her hips under her hanging dress, savoring the softness of her skin and the rest of her feminine curves Anna rocks her hips against your erection, rubbing it sensuously against her slit. You moan, your fingers tightening against her hips. You see her pink tongue run over her lips as she grasps you rock-hard member and guides it to her nether lips. Her mouth hangs agape in a long moan as she slowly impales herself on you, arching her back and thrusting her breasts further forward into your face. Not one to pass an opportunity, you take a pert nipple in your teeth and tug gently, eliciting a gasp from Anna. You can see her savor the moment, one hand still on your shoulder while the other rubs her stomach. You enjoy the sweltering heat and tight flesh around your member, the tiny gasps coming from Anna’s lips as you suckle at her breast. She starts to move, rocking her hips against you before lifting, almost completely withdrawing you from her before Anna drops back down with a moan. She begins a steady rhythm, and you find yourself gripping her hips and meeting her with thrusts of your own. You watch her breasts bounce hypnotically with her lewd movements as she tosses her head back. Her breaths come in ragged grasps, her hair suddenly falling forward and covering your chest as she leans forward, pressing her forehead to yours and staring into your eyes. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>...I-I...I..<</talk>>\ Words struggle to leave her mouth in between moans and gasps, sweat beginning for form on her brow with her rapid movements. You catch her lips with yours, voraciously moving against them with as your aid your thrusts with your grip on her waist. Anna groans against your lips, nails digging into your chest as her thrusts become more forceful. You feel your own release rapidly approaching and redouble your own efforts, the sounds of your clashing flesh drowning out the TV. “Anna…” You moan, then wrap your arms around her with one more thrust. Anna’s body arches and stiffens, a strangled moan drawn from her as you release inside. You feel her own walls tighten, drenching you in her fluids as her eyes close tightly. She slumps against you after a moment, curling up in your lap with her arms around your shoulders. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....you make me feel so good.<</talk>>\ She murmurs, resting her head next to yours. <<talk "player">>Well, you make me feel pretty good too so, . . . Thanks.<</talk>>\ Anna remains quiet for a moment, her eyes searching yours. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....Can I ask you something?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You can ask me anything, Anna.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Are you and I.<</talk>>\ She looks conflicted, clearly struggling to find the right words to express herself. <<talk "anna">>Do you love me?

<<talk "player">>You have to ask? Of course.<</talk>>\ Your voice falters a little unintentionally at the end. You swear Anna’s smile could not be bigger. She nuzzles your neck and tightens her hug around your shoulders. <<talk "anna">>That makes me very happy. Thank you.<</talk>>\ Anna murmurs, pressing herself tighter against you. <<talk "player">>If anyone deserves some happiness it’s you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I, . . . I didn’t think so for a long time.<</talk>>\ You turn your head, raising an eyebrow curiously. <<talk "player">>Why?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Because...<</talk>>\ You see her hesitate, eyes focusing on your neck. You lay a hand on her cheek, bringing her gaze back to yours. <<talk "anna">>Because. I was only happy w-with Eve. When Eve was happy.<</talk>>\ She stutters, but not in fear, instead it is raw emotion that breaks her voice. <<talk "anna">>Your Uncle h-hated that.<</talk>>\ You grimace, remembering your Uncle’s journal entries. <<talk "anna">>S-so, he’d do more, more painful things to me w-whenever he saw me happy. It was,...awful. I-I started to hide it, but he’d see small things I’d do for Eve.<</talk>>\ You see tears at the corners of her eyes. <<talk "anna">>I...I started...in the months before he died...It was bad. I started to, to wish Eve wasn’t so happy all the time, because it made me happy, then I-I’d be scared of being hurt….and it just twisted me up inside.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>That’s so fucked up.<</talk>>\ You wipe away a tear running down her cheek as she gazes into your eyes. <<talk "player">>You deserve to be happy, Anna. You make your sister happy, you make me happy. I’m glad I can make you happy.<</talk>>\ You murmur, kissing her forehead gently. Anna smiles as you embrace her, snuggling closer to you until her breath is warm against your neck. You hold her tightly long after the credits roll on the TV, Anna’s breathing becoming deep and regular. You look over and see her eyes closed, asleep against you. <<talk "thought">>This is my life now.<</talk>>\ You sigh and close yours eyes. Soon you feel sleep take you as well. When you wake up, Anna is gone. You’d almost think you’d had a fantastic dream except for the pins and needles in your arm...and complete lack of feeling in it. A definite sign someone had been laying on it for some time. <<talk "thought">>Shit.<</talk>>\ You get up, trying to get some feeling back in it.

You take a moment to think about your answer. <<talk "player">>I don’t know, really.<</talk>>\ You can see sadness in Anna’s eyes. <<talk "player">>I don't really know what we have between us.<</talk>>| <<talk "anna">>What’s that mean?<</talk>>\ There's a tremor in her voice. <<talk "player">>Well….I care about you, you care about me….right?<</talk>>\ Anna nods. <<talk "player">>But a typical relationship, . . .

It could be that, or it could be something different, maybe something more.<</talk>>\ You can tell the answer doesn’t make her happy, but Anna doesn’t push the issue. As the credits begin to roll on the TV Anna adjusts her dress and stands. <<talk "anna">>Thank you for watching the movie with me, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.

Anna looks at you quizzically. <<talk "anna">>Excuse me?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Here. Come sit on the bed.<</talk>>\ You see apprehension in her eyes, but Anna slowly steps over to the guest bed. Hesitantly, she sits on its edge, looking up at you. <<talk "player">>Now just turn your back to me.<</talk>>\ You see her eyes widen and fear creep into them. <<talk "player">>I'm not going to hurt you.<</talk>>\ Anna hesitates once more, but pulls her legs under her and shifts on the bed. She sets the feather duster in front of her knees. <<talk "player">>I'm going to touch your shoulders and hair. Try not to tense up. Just relax.<</talk>>\ You move her <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> locks aside so they fall down her chest, then place your hands on her shoulders. You hear her inhale sharply, but her shoulders remain loose. You start applying gentle pressure along her trapeziums, moving your forearms to apply gentle pressure down your thumbs as you massage the tight muscle. You keep your fingers straight as you continue massaging her warm flesh, feeling the muscle loosen as you continue. You watch Anna roll her head to one side. You see her hands clutching the hem of her dress as a soft groan escapes her lips. As you continue, you hear soft sighs and groans as you apply slightly harder pressure or squeeze, her clenched hands slowly uncurling until they lay limply on her legs. This close you can smell her tantalizing scent, and you try not to look down the valley of her cleavage. You stop and remove your hands from her <<print $anna.skinTone>> shoulders. You smile inwardly as you see her sway momentarily, then slide off the bed. Anna turns to face you, and for the first time you can see the crimson blush on her cheeks. <<talk "player">>Better?<</talk>>\ You ask, keeping your tone light and casual. Speechless, she nods vigorously and picks up the feather duster once more. <<talk "anna">>Thank you very much.<</talk>>\ She says, her cheeks a deep crimson. <<talk "player">>No problem.<</talk>>\ You step out of the room as she resumes her dusting.

Anna tilts her head quizzically towards you, taking a step closer. <<talk "player">>Just sit on the bed with your back to me.<</talk>>\ Anna tucks her legs under her, sitting on the guest bed as she looks back at you. You move her hair to one side, letting it cascade down her chest as you touch her shoulders. One of Anna's hands brushes against yours momentarily before letting it rest on her knee. You start applying gentle pressure along her trapeziums, moving your forearms to apply gentle pressure down your thumbs as you massage the tight muscle. You keep your fingers straight as you continue massaging her warm flesh, feeling the muscle loosen as you continue. You watch Anna roll her head to one side. You see her hands twitch idly when you press against certain places, usually followed by a short gasp. As you continue, you hear soft sighs and moans as you apply slightly harder pressure or squeeze. This close you can smell her tantalizing scent, and you appreciate the view down the valley of her cleavage. You move lower and start kneading on the sides of her spine through her thin dress. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>....<</talk>>\ You feel her gasp suddenly, her hands clenching. You smile and lean closer, giving her exposed neck a light kiss. Your head hovers next to hers as you move to her hips, gently increasing the pressure of your movements. You can see a blush in Anna's cheeks, her chest heaving slightly as her breathing quickens. <<talk "anna">>Your hands feel so good....<</talk>>\ She moans, leaning forward slightly. Anna's palms rest on the bed, her back arching slightly as she turns her head to see yours. Her mouth opens and closes as she searches for a moment, but you oblige her and envelop her lips with yours. Anna moans in appreciation, then gasps when you push your thumbs deeply into her hip muscles. You hear a long groan, her body tensing in your hands as her mouth hangs open. You feel a tremor run through Anna, momentarily confusing you until she suddenly slackens, falling forward onto the bed. <<talk "player">>Anna?<</talk>>\ There is worry in your tone until you look down. You see dress riding up when she pitched forward, revealing her panties. You can definitely see a darkened patch on the front of them as Anna lays there, breathing heavily. <<talk "thought">>Did she just cum?<</talk>>\ You feel a sliver of pride as Anna reaches between her legs, running her fingers over the damp spot. She brings it closer, and you can see her fingers glisten in the sunlight. <<talk "anna">>I... I've never... you know... just from being touched....<</talk>>\ Anna's voice is soft and lazy.

You can see Anna pout, sliding off the bed. <<talk "anna">>You're right.<</talk>>\ Anna murmurs, walking past you. You watch her go to the door and close it. You watch her twist the lock, then turn back to you with a small smile. You are mesmerized as she bends over, giving you a magnificent view of her cleavage. You watch her <<print $anna.skinTone>> hands grip her panties and slide them down, then daintily step out of them. Anna looks back to you, her cheeks flushed. <<talk "anna">>What about now, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ Her voice is low, and the way she bites her lower lip makes your erection more painful in your pants. <<talk "thought">>Well, how can I say no?<</talk>>\ You cross the difference between you in no time. Anna reaches her arms out towards you, but you surprise her by going low, wrapping your arms around her midsection and lifting. She squeaks in surprise as you press her back against the door, her <<print $anna.skinTone>> legs wrapping instinctively around your waist. You look into her amorous eyes for a moment as her hands pressing against your chest gently. <<talk "player">>You are the sexiest girl in the world.<</talk>>\ You murmur. You see her blush intensify, a small smile on her lips. <<talk "anna">>Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ Anna grasps your cheeks in her soft hands, pulling your lips to hers. You hear a sultry moan come from her throat as her lips move against yours, her hands traveling down your shirt. Her tongue pushes past your lips to dance within as her careful fingers undo your belt. You press harder against her, Anna's breasts mashing against you as her fingers undo your pants. Anna breaks the kiss, abruptly pressing her forehead against yours with surprising urgency. <<talk "anna">>I-I want you.<</talk>>\ Anna stammers, her face almost crimson in embarrassment from her words. She continues, her eyes smoldering as they look into yours. <<talk "anna">>I //need// you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>Wow.

Anna pulls her dress up to her navel, revealing her dripping pussy. She immediately lines your member up with her slick folds and rubs her slit against your head, eliciting a groan from you. You push your hips forward. She breaks your kiss as a long moan comes from deep in her throat as you sink inside her in a single, firm thrust. You savor the way her sweltering pussy grips you, tightening around you as a shudder runs through Anna's body, your member drenched in her fluids as a small orgasm runs through her. You begin a gentle rhythm, small moans escaping Anna with every push. You feel her pressing back against the hardwood of the door with every thrust, feeling her body ripple with each blissful impact. Her hands clasp around your neck as her breaths come in ragged gasps. You can feel her hard nipples through her dress against your chest. You begin to thrust harder, your hands gripping her hips tightly. Anna's moans become higher and louder as she feels every thrust go deeper until her fuzzy mound presses against you, her back hitting the door. She lets out a strangled gasp of pleasure, her hips thrusting forward to meet yours with more strength than you expected. <<talk "anna">>So good!<</talk>>\ Anna whispers, eyes closed tight. You say nothing, focusing on thrusting as you feel your release coming with her sudden movements. You're oblivious to everything except the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair girl clinging to you, her legs wrapped around your waist as she softly bounces against the door. You feel Anna's nails dig into your shoulders as her head hangs forward, a squeal coming from her as she trembles against you. You feel her hips jerk against you, and you bury yourself into her one last time as a powerful orgasm rocks through her. You groan as you erupt within her hot folds, holding her warm body against you. Anna peppers your face with light kisses as she comes down from her bliss before pressing her cheek against yours with a soft smile. You loosen your grip on her waist as she extricates her legs from around you, standing once more on the solid ground. <<talk "player">>That was... unexpectedly forward of you, Anna.<</talk>>\ You whisper, giving her a quick kiss to her forehead. <<talk "anna">>I-I don't know what came over me.

You watch her pick her panties back up and retreat into the small bathroom as you adjust your pants. You see her throw a look over her shoulder at you, a smile on her face before you leave the room.

Guest Rooms

Stepping into the lounge, your attention is immediately drawn towards the pool table. There you can see Anna, cleaning the billiard balls, she places each ball inside a triangle rack. Finishing her task, she notices you standing in the doorway, giving you a curt nod, she shifts her attention to the bar. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> [[Speak with Anna a moment.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 5a]] [[Leave Anna to her chores.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 5b]] [[Let her know she missed a spot.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 5z]] ''By: Irish Major Tom'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You walk over to the bar, feigning interest in it, you attempt to make small talk with Anna. She responds with the occasional polite nod or soft comment, clearly focused on her chores. Thinking to yourself. <<talk "thought">>She still doesn't seem to trust me. I wish I knew how to earn her trust.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> [[Ask Anna about the billiards table.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 5c]] [[Excuse yourself.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 5d]] ''By: Irish Major Tom'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

You can picture Anna and Eve spending quite a bit of their free time playing pool, you decide to ask her about it. <<talk "player">>Do you play pool with Eve often?<</talk>>\ Her eyes widen slightly at your question, hesitation clear in her voice as she answers. <<talk "anna">>Yes <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, Eve enjoys it so we play sometimes. I am terribly sorry if it bothers you, we can stop if you want.<</talk>>\ Her tone meek, a faint tremor in her voice. You can tell she’s nervous of what your reaction will be. <<talk "player">>No Anna, it’s fine, that’s not what I meant when I asked that.<</talk>>\ You respond, trying to reassure her. <<talk "player">>I really don’t mind if you two use it, by all means, continue to play to your hearts' content.<</talk>>\ You can see her eyes soften slightly, a tiny sigh of relief. She returns to her task, carefully wiping down the bar counter, making sure not to miss even the smallest speck of dust. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> You wonder if she'd be interested in playing for a few minutes, you could suggest the two of you play a round. You aren’t exactly great at the game but you can usually play without embarrassing yourself too much. <<talk "player">>Say Anna, would you like to play a round of pool?<</talk>>\ She stops for a moment, looking at you in slight confusion. <<talk "player">>You’d like to play a game of pool, with me, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>I’m not very good at it, I’m sure I would only disappoint you.<</talk>>\ Shying away, you can see a slight blush on her cheeks. She continues to wipe the counter, though she is clearly waiting for your response. <<talk "player">>Nonsense, I’m not exactly a pro player myself. I won’t force you, but I would love to play a round with you.<</talk>>\ Hoping she’ll agree, you wait for her to give in. After what feels like years, she puts the cloth down, looking to you, her answer clear on her face. <<talk "anna">>Okay <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ Excited, you move away from the counter, making your way over to the table you grab two pool cues. Handing one to Anna, you grab the triangle rack and carefully remove it. You set up the cue ball opposite the stack of billiard balls, now having everything set up, you only need to decide who goes first. You motion for Anna to go first. <<talk "player">>You shoot first.<</talk>>\ Anna looks at you, hesitant, she takes a step forward, lining her cue up. Taking a deep breath, she strikes the ball, sending it flying forwards. It slams into the triangle of billiard balls, scattering them across the table. The solid billiard with the number 3 slowly rolling towards the far-left corner pocket before coming to halt on the edge, the five and six solid billiards coming to a halt in the middle of the table, first solid resting short of the middle right pocket and the four solid closer to Anna. You curse good naturedly under your breath as you notice a billiard ball rolling into the far-right corner pocket. It seems Anna has beginner luck on her side, you walk over and pull it out of the pocket, checking it you look to Anna. <<talk "player">>It’s a solid, I’ll be playing for stripes.<</talk>>\ Placing the ball back, you watch as Anna moves to line her stick up with the cue ball. Breathing deeply, she strikes the cue ball, aiming to knock the solid three in. The ball flies forward, slamming into it, knocking it into the pocket. Anna strikes the cue ball again, sinking the first solid ball. This game might end earlier then you had expected, hoping for a chance to shoot, it’s your turn when Anna takes a shot at the fifth solid and misses. You step up to the table and line up your cue stick, aiming for the ninth stripe, you strike the cue ball. It strikes, sending the striped billiard towards the closest pocket, but bounces off it’s corner at the last second. Silently cursing you step back to give Anna a go. For a couple of hours the both of you take turns shooting for your respective suits, you striped and Anna solids, you manage to sink five of the seven. Struggling to get the last two in, you notice Anna only needs to score the eight ball and she wins. Picking up the pace, you aim the cue ball to strike the billiard closest, your aim goes wide and the cue misses. Slightly knocking it to the right. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> You look on in resignation as Anna moves to line up her shot with the eight-ball sitting in the middle of the table, taking a deep breath she strikes the cue ball. It hits, knocking the ball, sending it rolling towards the left pocket on the opposite end of the table, slowly coming to a halt on the edge. Both of you watch on in complete silence, Anna mentally urging it to fall forward just a few centimeters. The ball hovers on the edge for several seconds before falling in, you can hear her give out a breath of relief. Anna looks to you with not quite a smile, a faint blush on her cheeks. <<talk "anna">>That was fun, thank you <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. Whenever Eve and I play, it’s usually her that wins.<</talk>>\ You stare at her, before breaking out into a smile. <<talk "anna">>I’m glad you had fun, we will have to have a rematch some time.<</talk>>\ Nodding Anna excuses herself, returning to her chores. You can't help but notice the thoughtful expression on her face.

Inspecting the lounge, you can see a lot of effort has gone into keeping the room clean. You walk over to the bar for a closer inspection and notice a few spots that might not be polished to perfection, you clear your throat to gain her attention. <<talk "player">>Excuse me, but you’ve missed a spot here and there. Make sure to pay attention to where you are cleaning.<</talk>>\ Anna nods, moving quickly to wipe down the area she missed. <<talk "anna">>My apologies Master, thank you, it won’t happen again.<</talk>>\ Satisfied with her response you leave her to her chores.

Lounge

Rolling over in bed, you glance at the clock beside the bed. <<talk "thought">>It's the middle of the night.<</talk>>\ For a couple of minutes, you toss and turn in bed, unable to get back to sleep. Eventually, you give up, slipping from the covers and exiting your room. <<talk "thought">>Maybe I'll head down to the kitchen, get a drink of water, maybe a little something to snack on.<</talk>>\ Groggily, you make your way down to the kitchen. You can see a light over towards the refrigerators in the kitchens. Reaching for the light switch, the room is bathed in a sudden light. There, across the room, you can see Anna standing near the refrigerator. In her hand is a bit of leftovers from last night's meal. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> [[Greet Anna.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 6a]] [[Head back to bed.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 6b]] ''Submitted by LFN Park''

<<if $anna.affection lte 300 or $anna.fear gte 700>>\ You take a few steps into the kitchen as Anna’s head turns to you. You see her eyes grow wide as she quickly shoves the leftovers back in the fridge. <<talk "player">>Oh, I-I didn’t know you were up.<</talk>>\ You see her close the refrigerator quickly, a nervousness in her face. <<talk "player">>Just restless. Thought about getting a small bite to eat.</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>W-would you like me to prepare something for you?<</talk>>\ You sigh inwardly as you hear her stutter in fear. <<talk "player">>No, I think I’ll just wander around a bit before heading back to bed.

Have a good night, Anna.<</talk>>\ You turn and walk back down the hall. It's not long before your footsteps take you back to your bedroom where you fall asleep almost before your head can hit the pillow. <<link "Wake">><<gotoevent setup.events.waking>><</link>> <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>> <<elseif $anna.affection lte 650 or $anna.fear gte 350>>\ You take a few steps into the kitchen as Anna’s head turns to you. She seems uncertain whether she should put the container back or offer it to you. <<talk "anna">>Oh, hello <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ You see her catch herself before calling you Master once more. <<talk "anna">>I didn’t know you were still awake.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Just a little night time wandering.

I was just a bit hungry.<</talk>>\ She begins hesitantly, uou see her looking down at the container briefly, a tinge of fear in her eyes. <<talk "player">>Well, don’t stop on my account.<</talk>>\ You walk to the cupboard, pulling down a cup as Anna watches you warily. As you open the fridge, you see her hesitantly grasp a fork from the corner of your eyes. When you turn back around with a pitcher of cold water, you see she’s started picking at the containers contents, her eyes still watching you. <<talk "player">>Wouldn’t that be better warm?<</talk>>\ You ask as you pour your cup full. <<talk "anna">>This is fine.<</talk>>\ Anna’s voice is soft and reserved, still watching you. You shrug idly, sipping from your cup as you put the pitcher back. <<talk "player">>Is something wrong? Have I got something on my face?<</talk>>\ Anna shook her head quickly. <<talk "anna">>N-no. It’s...nothing.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>If something’s bothering you, I can listen.<</talk>>\ You take another drink of your water, giving Anna a reassuring smile. <<talk "anna">>I… I just was thinking…I never did this much before.<</talk>>\ She pointedly looks down at the container. <<talk "player">>...Got a midnight snack?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Yes.

She smiles as she continues picking at what looks like a container of meat. <<talk "anna">>Oh, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I didn’t know you were up.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Just restless. What’re you nibbling on?<</talk>>\ You draw closer to her, peering at the container curiously. <<talk "anna">>I was thinking of making a sandwich. Would you like one?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Sure.<</talk>>\ You reach out your hand, taking the container from her as she smiles. You take things from Anna as she hands them to you, laying them out on the counter. Anna picks up a loaf of bread and begins cutting away slices for yourself and her. You slip behind her, wrapping your arms around her hips. You feel her tense for a moment before leaning back against you, her hands deftly preparing the sandwiches. <<talk "anna">>I like this.<</talk>>\ You hear Anna murmur as you rest your chin on her shoulder. You see her head turn slightly, a smile on her face as she looks at you. <<talk "player">>Mmmm?<</talk>>\ You give her a soft kiss, drawing a blush in her cheeks. <<talk "player">>It’s...normal.<</talk>>\ You watch her lay out slices of turkey on the bread, that blush persisting. <<talk "anna">>It’s...like we’re normal people. Like I’m normal.<</talk>>\ She hesitates in her words, looking down at the food. <<talk "player">>You’re not normal.<</talk>>\ You see her eyes become confused momentarily. <<talk "player">>You’re amazing, Anna.<</talk>>\ You can’t help but smile wider as her blush intensifies. <<talk "anna">>That’s nice of you to say.<</talk>>\ You can hear doubt in Anna’s tone as she begins cutting the sandwiches in half. <<talk "player">>I believe it. Eve believes it.<</talk>>\ You pick up a half as you reluctantly pull away from Anna. She picks up one of her own, nibbling on it as she looks down. <<talk "anna">>I don’t feel amazing.<</talk>>\ You sigh as you take a bite. <<talk "player">>How do you feel?<</talk>>\ You chew thoughtfully, leaning against the counter. Anna doesn’t answer right away; you watch her munch on the sandwich as she thinks. <<talk "anna">>Sometimes I feel good.<</talk>>\ You see her step closer, looking at you curiously. <<talk "anna">>Lately, more than not.<</talk>>\ A coy smile spreads across her face as she looks at you, taking another bite. <<talk "anna">>Then, sometimes I see something that reminds me of….before.<</talk>>\ You watch her shift uncomfortably, looking away from you. <<talk "anna">>Then I remember how broken I usually feel.<</talk>>\ You finish your half a sandwich, contemplating on how to respond when you see Anna’s eyes widen, looking past you. You turn and see Eve standing in the doorway, swaying gently. You can see her eyes unfocused and full of sleep. <<talk "eve">>Are you two having sex?<</talk>>\ You can hear the tired slurr in Eve’s words as she squints at you and Anna. <<talk "anna">>Eve!<</talk>>\ Anna’s words are sharp as she glares at her sister. <<talk "eve">>Cause doing it in the kitchen is gross. We cook food in there.<</talk>>\ You can’t help but chuckle as Eve yawns, turning back around and stumbling back down the hall. <<talk "anna">>I should go tuck her back in.<</talk>>\ Anna sighs, finishing her sandwich swiftly. <<talk "player">>You do that. I’ll bag these for later.<</talk>>\ You chuckle, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. <<talk "anna">>Thank you, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ Anna nods, smiling softly before quickly taking off after her sister. You laugh as you start to clean up the kitchen. A few minutes later, you find yourself laying in your own bed again as sleep finally takes you. <<link "Wake">><<gotoevent setup.events.waking>><</link>> <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 2>><<set $anna.fear -= 2>> <</if>>\ ''Submitted by LFN Park''

You take a moment to watch Anna as she looks at you like a deer in the headlights as the light turn on. <<talk "anna">>Oh, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>. I thought you were asleep!<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I’m just a little restless. I heard someone in here and thought Eve may be trying to sneak some cookies.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Oh, no. I’m just….I found myself a little hungry so I thought I’d get a snack. I...hope that’s all right.<</talk>>\ She hesitates, looking nervously towards you as if expecting some sort of punishment. <<talk "player">>Of course. You go ahead, I’m going to go back to bed.<</talk>>\ You stifle a yawn as you turn back around, heading back towards the staircase. The brief encounter with Anna is nearly forgotten by the time your head hits the pillow once more. <<link "Wake">><<gotoevent setup.events.waking>><</link>> ''Submitted by LFN Park''

You see Anna lying on the bed on her front with her legs together, her feet hanging over the edge of the bed and her arms up above her head. She's naked, her charms laid bare for all to see. A towel lying next to her, damp from her body. You watch and smile as she wiggles her lower legs causing her lush thighs and that sumptuous bottom to wobble and jiggle. Transfixed by the sight, you can't take your eye's off of her. She moves her legs apart slightly and from your voyeuristic vantage point you are greeted by a perfect view of her little pink pussy nestled between her thighs. This in turn begins to stir your lust for her. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> She lifts her lower legs up and begins to playfully swing them from side to side in opposite directions. Bumping her feet together making her bum wobble and your cock twitch. You watch as Anna moves her feet apart giving you an enticing look at her perfect slit. You notice a little wetness between her legs for the bath she has just enjoyed. She begins to wiggle her feet once more and you continue to watch her, unaware her Master is standing at the doorway watching her innocent display. Your gaze drifts up her side to the soft swell of her breast before focusing back on her ass again, drinking in the beautiful vista before you. A fly buzzing in from the open window catches your attention. Following its path it darts about the room almost hitting your forehead as it dose so, then it spots a good place to land and go about its business, right on Anna's naked bum. You watch as the pest trots around in circles on Anna's butt cheek. Anna feels the pesky creature and swings her arm back in an attempt to swot it away but by the time her hand reaches her bottom and slaps down on the creamy flesh, the fly is away. Satisfied that the fly has gone, she places her arm down to her side. The fly however dose not give up so easily. Seeing its landing pad is clear from danger, it dives down to land on Ana's bottom again. Sitting still for a moment, then strolling around the smooth surface as if it owned the place. Becoming bolder it explores the crack of Anna's ass but not for long as Anna feels the annoying tickle and has a second attempt at swatting it. The fly is too quick and its off in an instance just before Anna's hand slaps her own bare bottom with a satisfying 'thwack' for the second time. Sure that the fly has gone, she puts her arm back to her side. Then she draws one knee up to her chest and hugs it with her arm. This new position is almost too much for you as the view offered to you now is something to behold. You can see her sweet pink vagina gaping ever so slightly and above you can now see her juicy pink bum hole, still moist from her bath. Wiggling her foot on her out stretched leg gives you another treat of her soft naked bottom wobbling enticingly. So erotic and yet so innocent. The fly has also noticed the beautiful sight and comes down to land yet again on Anna's bare backside. You watch it with interest as it wonders around the soft dome of her plump buttock, edging every closer to the crack of her ass. Your not sure if Anna chooses to ignore it this time, or that the fly is tip toeing but its getting closer and closer to its target. You watch as the little pest reaches the crinkly edges of her anus, as it dose so you notice Anna's pooper contract. Moments later she relaxes, still with the little fly sitting next to her hole. A few more moments pass, then it ventures in, walking right over Anna's naked asshole. This is too much for Anna to ignore as she brings her hand back and down to her bottom and flaps it about, waving the fly away as she does so. The itch is still there however and you watch as she scratches and rubs at her sweet bottom to rid herself of the tickle. Once she is satisfied Anna slips her fingers down to he pink pussy and gives it a good scratching as well. Seeing how her fingers slip between the folds of her cunt makes your rock hard dick throb from within you trousers. You want her so bad. <<includeevent setup.events.AnnaMansionWorkInserts>> As thoughts of walking in and jumping her drift through you mind, Anna grabs hold of the big bath towel and pulls it over hear naked body. Probably in an attempt to foil the fly witch has already left through the open window. Off to find some other bare maiden to practice its perverted game with. Watching for a moment more you sense your little show is over so you quietly walk away, leaving Anna in all her nakedness to sleep. [[End.|$location]] ''Submitted by phalicobject''

Servant's bedroom.

You are about to enter the laundry area, you can hear the familiar sound of the old washer gearing its self up for a high spin cycle. Then you hear small footsteps from the area. Peeking round a shelf far enough to see, you see Anna leaning against the corner of the washing machine, her dress pulled up around her waist, knickers on full display. As you watch she begins to grind her crotch against the corner of the washer, no doubt in an attempt to get off with the aid of the old machine. [[Leave her in peace.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 9a]] [[Have some fun.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 9b]] ''Submitted by phalicobject'' <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

You step into the room and admire Anna's ass as it gently wobbles. <<talk "player">>Need any help with that?<</talk>>\ You casually ask her. Jumping with surprise, Anna spins around to face you and leans back against the corner of the washing machine. Looking shocked and blushing she tries to find the words to explain what she was doing but you stop her before she speaks by placing your finger on your lips shush her to be quiet. Anna looks up at you with her big blue eye's as if to read your mind but she has no idea what was about to happen. The old washer has been rolling its drum back and forth as it gets itself ready for the spin cycle. Every time the drum stops, the machine jolts sending a ripple effect through Anna's body making her breasts jiggle about enticingly. Another jolt and another wobble. Suddenly, the machine stops, then clicks a few times as the ancient tech of the dial moves to the spin mark. <<talk "thought">>It's clockwork, I'm sure of it.<</talk>>\ Realizing this you take hold of Anna by the waist and spin her back around then push her shoulders down onto the washer. Anna lets out a playful giggle and asks. <<talk "anna">>what are you going to do with me <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ You answer by giving one of her ass cheeks a slap. Anna yelps in surprise and looks back at you over her shoulder. <<talk "anna">>Please.<</talk>>\ Is all she can say, her voice full of lust. Not wanting to disappoint, you take hold of her panties and pull them down to her upper thighs. Then you unzip your fly and fish out your already stiff member, the tip glistening with precum. Shuffling forward a little you feel her hot and very wet cunt touch the end of your cock. Anna shivers as you do this and lets out a little moan. Then you push in and you keep pushing until you are balls deep inside of her, your glans pressed firmly against her cervix. Once in, you don't move, you just hold yourself in her. Anna lets out a little whimper, in her own way begging you to continue. You give her another slap on her ass and a little nudge forward with your hips making Anna moan with pleasure. The washing machine has not been idle while this has all be going on, its gears are winding up as the old electric motor finds the power it needs and increase in speed. The vibrations are starting to take effect on Anna as you notice her breathing increase and she starts to grind her crotch against the corner of the old washer. You look down at her perfect bottom jiggling before you. With both hands you take hold of her cheeks, fingers spread and your thumbs at the crack of her bum. You begin to massage her ass as you let the old washer work its magic. The grinding from Anna is driving you crazy and you soon realize that she is trying to fuck you by thrusting her hips. This is not what you intended so you decide to put a stop to her free movements by pushing down with both hands to stop her from moving her hips. This has two effects. The first is you succeed in stopping Anna from moving about as much, but the second was a bonus. Pushing down on her ass has made the vibrations from the washer almost unbearable to Anna and at the same time, you also get the same buzzing feeling along the full length of you cock, still buried deep inside her. Its a nice feeling but you are not sure if you could get off from it. Anna on the other hand sounds like she is about to blow at any moment. <<talk "player">>Time for stage two.<</talk>>\ Looking down at her delectable bottom you realize that pushing down on her cheeks has spread them apart nicely and her little pink bum hole is winking at you as Anna contracts and flexes her inner muscles. <<talk "thought">>I wonder if.<</talk>>\ [[Decide against it.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 9c]] [[Play with her ass.|Submitted Anna Interactive Scene 9d]] ''Submitted by phalicobject.'' <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

You think better of it and decide to concentrate on getting off with Anna. Looking down at the control panel of the old machine you see a button marked '''Super Spin''' so you reach down and push it. Almost immediately the washer finds second wind and kicks up a gear. The reaction from Anna is also immediate as the increase in speed also increases the vibration intensity considerably. You also benefit from this. The vibrations traveling through Anna's tight snatch and into your swollen dick is intense to say the least. <<talk "thought">>Yeah, this will work.<</talk>>\ Anna's breathing is becoming short and ragged as she approaches orgasm. You are also getting close to your own. <<talk "thought">>Just a little longer.<</talk>>\ You give her a little nudge with your cock, pushing against her cervix as hard as you can. This was all that was needed. Anna lets out a long groan and the first wave of pure pleasure hits her. Bucking her hips uncontrollably you hold onto her ass as your world turns upside down and you hit your limit. Thrusting forwards you shoot your first load across the entrance of her womb. Anna cries out in ecstasy as she feels you bombarding her inner walls with love juice. //Click!// The old washer has come to the end of its cycle and begins to wind down. You relax your grip of Anna's butt cheeks, leaving red finger marks behind. Giving her bottom a pat, Anna turns her head to look up to you, still breathing heavy and red faced with a contented smile. <<talk "anna">>That was amazing.<</talk>>\ She whispers, then rests her head on her forearms.

Seeing Anna's little pink bum hole gives you an idea, so you decide to give her some extra stimulation. Not that she needs any more. Looking down, you ball up some spit in your mouth, take aim then let it drop. Bullseye, your spit projectile lands bang in the middle of her ring. Anna feels this and immediately squeezes her cheeks together. Looking back at you with a flushed face, her expression ripe with curiosity. You squeeze her cheeks some more and spread them wide, then you slip a thumb down her ass crack and over her wet bum hole and begin to massage her. As you slide your thumb over and around her hole you hear her moan with pleasure. Being stimulated in so many ways all at once, its only a matter of time before Anna reaches her peak. You need something more on the other hand. Looking down at the control panel of the old machine you see a button marked 'Super Spin' so you reach down and push it. Almost immediately the washer finds second wind and kicks up a gear. The reaction from Anna is also immediate as the increase in speed also increases the vibration intensity considerably. You also benefit from this. The vibrations traveling through Anna's tight snatch and into you swollen dick is intense to say the least. <<talk "thought">>Yeah, this will work.<</talk>>\ Giving her asshole extra attention is sending Anna over the edge, as you rub at her hole you apply a little more pressure to see if you can slip your thumb inside. Anna's moans are getting loader as you work you thumb into her tight bottom. Anna must sense what you plan to do and relaxes her anus just enough to allow you to slip inside. Anna gasps as you do so sending her over the edge. She moans lewdly just as her orgasm hits. Bucking her hips uncontrollably. This in turn has given your thumb some extra wiggle room and you have got almost up to the second knuckle deep into her asshole. You cant take any more of this as your own orgasm hits you like a shockwave. Pushing forward with you hips and squeezing her cheeks hard you let it all go, shooting directly over the entrance to her womb. You deposit several more jets of hot sticky spunk into Anna's tight cunt as she enjoys her own orgasm. //Click!// The old washer has come to the end of its cycle and begins to wind down. You relax your grip of Anna's butt cheeks, slipping your thumb from out of Anna's bum hole makes her shiver. You see red finger marks left behind from your grip on her cheeks. Giving her bottom a pat, Anna turns her head to look up to you, still breathing heavy and red faced with a contented smile. //"That was amazing"//, she whispers, then rests her head on her forearms, breathing heavily.

Feeling yourself soften inside Anna, you slide out of her with a wet plop. Moments later comes a flood of mixed juices from her still open vagina. You watch as it drops down to her knickers that are still around her thighs, filling up the crotch, then overflow to the floor below to form a puddle between her feet. You step back to give Anna some room as she turns herself around, leaning heavily on the washer as she does so. You look at her, shaking and unsteady, one breast out of her dress, skirts up around her waist and her panties full of your cum around her thighs. //Good job// you think to your self. As you tuck your tired willy back in your pants, Anna looks down at the mess in her knickers and on the floor. <<talk "anna">>Look at the mess you made, what am I going to do with them?<</talk>>\ You cant help but smile.

You move closer to Anna and kiss her forehead, then you reach down and take hold of her panties on both sides and pull them up around her waist. Her face is priceless, A mix of shock, embarrassment and amusement. Stepping back you watch as Anna adjusts the waist band of her knickers and tugs them up a little more. You notice your sperm seeping out from the sides of her panties and begin to run down her inner thighs. Smoothing down her skirts and pulling her top up over her breast, Anna walks out of the laundry room, blushing with a mischievous smile, blowing you a kiss as she leaves. You watch as she walks away and can't help but notice your cum dribbling down her leg as she walks. <<talk "thought">>Hope Eve doesn't notice.<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] ''Submitted by phalicobject'' <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Takes place in Laundry area.

You enter the living room to find the TV already on. As you approach the sofa you smell the distinctive smell of alcohol, cider to be precise. You peer your head around sofa and find Anna sitting slouched on the chair, right hand down her panties watching male lifeguards running down a beach on television. <<talk "anna">>Oh <<print $anna.callsPlayer>> she whispers, moaning gently.<</talk>>\ [[Join her.|Submitted Anna Scene 7a]] [[Leave.|Submitted Anna Scene 7b]] ''Submitted by Gil Lionaire'' <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

She tries clumsily to crawl seductively over to you. <<talk "player">>Anna, you're drunk.<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>And I love you.<</talk>>\ She retorts, giggling. You see a look of surprise in her eyes, realizing what she just said. She manages to sit on your lap facing you, knees over each side of you.

A sheepish smile forms on her lips. <<talk "anna">>Hey!<</talk>>\ She says, playfully, taking control in a change of personality. <<talk "anna">>Less thought, more action.<</talk>>\ Anna lifts herself off you just long enough for you to pull down your pants and her panties. Resting her warm body on you slowly, you can already feel that she is wet around her beautiful pink pussy. You place your arms around her back, pulling her closer to you before both your lips lock. You can taste the sweetness of cider on her lips as you both passionately kiss. Anna raises herself up on her knees so that her breasts are in line with your face. You gently pull at her left nipple with your teeth and Anna lets out a soft moan. You pull Anna back down, slowly kissing up her body as you do, till you reach her neck. You place the gentlest kiss on her neck and feel the goose pimples on her skin raise as you do so. Anna begins to grind against your now hard cock, begging you to penetrate her. Whilst Anna is still sitting on you, you manage to stand up, carrying her with her legs now wrapped around your body. You make your way to the living room wall, placing her against it. You thrust your manhood into her quickly causing her to gasp and moan loudly. <<talk "anna">>Yes <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>!<</talk>>\ Spurred on by Anna's behavior you hammer her tender body up against the wall, her legs losing strength and just flopping around with each thrust. Anna's body, shivers and her head arches back for a few seconds and she lets out a long moan sending you to your limit as her pussy squeezes every last drop of semen from you. You hold Anna a few moments while you both get your breath back before setting her down so she can stand. Moving back over to the sofa, Anna looks at you once more. I'm not done yet� She says giving you a look that stirs your cock once again making it stiff. Bending over the sofa, she shows her perfectly firm and supple butt.

Kissing Anna, tenderly on the head you tell her that you don't feel right doing this in her vulnerable state and that she should go to bed and sleep it off.

Without a second thought you grab Anna by the hips and force your member into her back door just hard enough for her to gasp, holding her breath for a few seconds before releasing it. You begin to thrust slowly into her, Anna in turns begins to mimic your thrusting making each thrust harder than normal. She squeals with ecstasy as you grunt and moan, pounding her butt with each thrust like you were never going to get this chance again. You grab Anna's <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> hair, tugging it just enough to pull her head back while thrusting into her. She moans loudly as the pace intensifies. Her whole body seems to shake tense and she lets out one final moan before falling flat, face down on the sofa.

Turning, you see the mischievous smile of Maki, who gives you a wink before slinking past you towards the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl. You are impressed at the lack of sound as she sneaks behind Anna, her arms encircling her waist.

You step a little closer, a small smile on your face as Maki catches your eye. Anna follows her gaze and you almost laugh as her blush intensifies. <<talk "maki">>Oohhh. Looks like your master wants to play too…..<</talk>>\ Maki giggles, shifting to sit upon the washing machine as her hands brush Anna’s neck. Yours slip around her waist gently, pressing gentle kisses along her pale neck. Anna sighs at your touch, then squeaks as Maki engulfs her lips with her own. You can hear Anna begin to moan as you run your hands underneath her dress, still peppering butterfly kisses along her neck as Maki assaults her lips. You hook your thumbs onto her panties and slowly pull them down, Anna dutifully lifting her legs as you see Maki’s tongue snake into the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girls lips. You toss them next to Maki, who pulls away from Anna with a grin. <<talk "player">>You can have your masters cock, but I think i’ll borrow your sweet lips, darling.<</talk>>\ Maki cooed.

With barely restrained enthusiasm you unbuckle your pants, a wolfish grin spreading across Maki’s face as she moans happily.

Her head rises and turns, looking at you with a crimson tinge underneath slick lips. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>…<</talk>>\ Anna squeaks, then groans as you slide your member inside her with ease. You grunt in satisfaction as her slick walls grip you tightly, your hips colliding against her roughly. <<talk "maki">>Don’t forget about me, darling.<</talk>>\ Maki giggles as she pushes Anna’s face back to her crotch.

You hear her moans and squeals grow in pitch as Maki suddenly lets out a long moan, hands pressing Anna’s head against her with a sudden fervor. You see the olive woman’s hips twitch, then slump against the washing machine with a satisfied sigh. Anna shifts, resting the side of her head on Maki’s thigh as you continue thrusting. Her face is shiny and slick with Maki’s fluids, a dazed look in her eyes as Maki starts gently running her hand through her hair. <<talk "maki">>Very good, sweet girl. How do you feel now?

The <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl has stopped fidgeting, her once wide eyes now hazy as they lock onto Maki’s. <<talk "maki">>Definitely his lips. You like kissing, don’t you?<</talk>>\ Maki murmurs. Anna nods gently, licking her bottom lip before squeaking when Maki kisses her. You watch Anna hesitate before pushing back against the smaller woman, her lips moving voraciously against her. <<talk "thought">>She must be really horny….<</talk>>\ You feel your own arousal stirring watching the two women.

You’ve soaked these panties..<</talk>>\ Anna whimpers suddenly when Maki moves her hand. You watch Maki pull the pale girls panties down, Anna’s legs quivering as she steps out of them in a daze. Maki giggles as Anna watches her with baited breath, raising them to her face and inhaling. <<talk "maki">>Mmmm. You smell delightful, sweet girl.<</talk>>\ Maki smiles before tossing the panties aside and voraciously kissing the aroused Anna. You hear the pale girl moan lustily as Maki’s hand roams back down Anna’s waist, the taller girl moving unconsciously against the olive woman. Your pants quickly feel confined as you continue to watch the two. <<talk "player">>You want to cum, darling?<</talk>>\ Maki whispers, breaking their kiss abruptly. <<talk "anna">>Y-yes, please…<</talk>>\ Anna whimpers, her eyes half lidded as she thrusts her hips against Maki. The olive woman smiles, pressing her lips against the pale girl's ear for a moment. <<talk "maki">>If I help you..….You’ll help me, darling?<</talk>>\ Maki’s voice is low and silky. Anna seems to hesitate for a moment, eyes wavering until Maki’s left hand disappears under Anna’s dress. The right grasps one of Anna’s covered breasts, groping it suddenly. The pale girl moans and gasps, her hips twitching awkwardly as her eyelids flutter. <<talk "maki">>Well, Anna?<</talk>>\ Maki bites her lip playfully, hovering over Anna’s as the <<print $anna.headHairColorDesc>> girl mewls. <<talk "anna">>Y-yes...I w-will….Please….<</talk>>\ She whines. Maki giggles, teasing Anna with a light kiss to her lips. <<talk "maki">>As you wish, darling.<</talk>>\ You hear Anna gasp sharply, her mouth opening as her hips suddenly jerk against Maki, her legs quivering. Anna’s pale hands grasp Maki’s shoulders after a few moments, slumping against her as her knee’s tremble. A long groan escapes her, the smell of Anna’s excitement fills the room as you see it drip down her thighs. She pants against the olive woman, who smiles broadly as one hand runs gently through Anna’s hair, bringing several slick digits to Anna’s face. <<talk "maki">>My, we were quite pent up, weren’t we?<</talk>>\ Maki giggled, watching as Anna instinctively suckles on Maki’s proffered fingers. Maki shifts back, hopping up to sit on the washing machine with a sultry smile. Anna also turns, blocking your view of Maki. <<talk "maki">>Well, sweet girl, time for you to help me.<</talk>>\ The olive woman smiles. You see Anna hesitate, before she bends over, exposing her glistening netherlips as her head rests between Maki’s legs. You can see her skirt raised to her navel, a hungry expression in her eyes. You hear Maki moan, a hand resting on Anna’s head as it subtly moves against her. With the pale girl bent over, you can see the erotic smile on the olive woman’s face. She locks hazel eyes with you as Anna rests her hands on either side of Maki’s hips, her free hand beckoning you over.

This scene talkes place in the Laundry area.

You've barely stepped into your room when you hear a giggle from the bed. At the exact same moment Anna's voice cries out. <<talk "anna">><<print $anna.callsPlayer>>, help please?<</talk>>\ Turning toward the bed, you see a sight that gives you pause. Both Misaki and Anna are completely naked and each has one wrist handcuffed to the headboard. While Misaki has her ass pointed straight at you, wiggling it in your direction enticingly, Anna in contrast looks upset, curled into a ball on the bed as she looks at you, her eyes pleading for help. <<talk "player">>What happened here?<</talk>>\ You ask in surprise. Rather than answer, Misaki reaches between her legs with her free hand, using her fingers to part the folds of her clearly wet pussy as she parts her legs slightly. Meanwhile, Anna speaks in a very soft voice. <<talk "anna">>Misaki lost the key.<</talk>>\ Your eyes instinctively dart to the floor in search of the key, but then a thought occurs to you, //That might explain why they're still handcuffed, but it does //not// explain why they're both naked and handcuffed to the bed in the first place.// [[Try to find the key.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1a]] [[Demand to know the details of how they ended up like this.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1b]] [[Take advantage of their captive state.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1c]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

<<talk "player">>It's not on the bed somewhere?<</talk>>\ You ask the girls. Anna looks at you, her expression slightly pinched but otherwise unreadable. <<talk "anna">>Yes, I've looked.<</talk>>\ Misaki wiggles her bottom again, her fingers making wet sounds as she continues to finger herself. When you don't immediately do something, you hear a soft huff of disappointment come from her. Ignoring her, you turn your attention to the floor and start looking around the bed for the missing key. It's not until several minutes later that Misaki finally speaks. <<talk "misaki">>Master? I have the key.<</talk>>\ Finally turning toward you, her slick fingers leave the space between her legs and reach into her own mouth. A second later she extracts a small key that she uses to unlock the cuff from her own wrist. You're impressed at how easily she finds the lock even as you are annoyed that she made you look for so long. //This is far from the first time she's had to uncuff herself.// As soon as her arm comes free, she holds out the key in Anna's general direction. <<if $anna.affection lte 300 and ($anna.fear gte 750 or $anna.trust lte 250)>>\ Visibly trembling, Anna reaches out for the key, dropping it as she tries to take it. Her eyes flicker to you, then back to the key as she scrambles to retrieve it. //As shaky as she is, she's never going to get herself unlocked.// Seeing her growing distress, you quickly step over to Anna. She freezes like a deer caught in the headlights as you take the key from her, but offers no sign of resistance. Carefully, you move the key, the cuff opening with a soft click. <<talk "player">>It's alright,<</talk>>\ You assure her. Anna nods, but it lacks confidence. When she doesn't move, you give her permission to get dressed, a task she nearly jumps to. <<talk "player">>Misaki, you can't do that.<</talk>>\ You say, your voice holding just a little heat. Misaki turns toward you, her expression innocent. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 800 and ($anna.fear lte 250 or $anna.trust gte 850)>>\ Anna's fear seems to subside slightly as you move close to her. Reaching out, you take the key and when Anna turns her wrist to allow easier access to her wrist, you unlock her. Closing her eyes, she lets out a breath she had been holding, then leans in toward you. //She's come a long way, but this seems to have really rattled her,// You put your arms around her comfortingly. <<talk "player">>It's ok, she didn't mean anything by it.<</talk>>\ When you glance at Misaki, she at least has the decency to look ashamed of herself. <<talk "player">>I'm sorry, I was just trying to have a little fun.<</talk>>\ <<else>>\ Anna takes the key, her hands trembling as she tries to unlock herself. <<talk "player">>Let me help,<</talk>>\ You say, taking the key from her hands and helping her unlock the handcuff. There's near panic in her eyes right up until the second the cuffs come loose. Then the second it comes loose, the relief is like a physical thing as she sobs, clutching her hand to her chest the very second she's free. <</if>>\ [[Comfort Anna.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1d]] [[Scold Misaki.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1e]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

<<talk "player">>Where's the key?<</talk>>\ You ask, your eyes already scanning the bed and floor in the hopes of spotting the item in question. <<talk "anna">>I don't know,<</talk>>\ Anna replies, a tremor in her voice as she speaks. The fear etched on her face is like a mask of horror, tears brimming in her eyes as she visibly trembles. Not seeing the key anywhere around the bed, your eyes inevitably turn toward the wiggling naked ass of Misaki. <<talk "player">>Misaki? What did you do with the key?<</talk>>\ You're unable to keep the heat out of your voice. Misaki grows still, then silence reigns for several seconds before she makes a soft little sigh, a sound that would be absolutely adorable under different circumstances. Without a word, she turns toward you and parts her lips to reveal the key between her teeth. Taking the key, you quickly turn toward Anna. <<if $anna.affection gte 750 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 650>>\ Anna's eyes meet yours, and in an instant her fear begins to subside, though it does not fully subside. The instant the handcuffs open, Anna throws herself into your arms, clinging to you for several seconds before recomposing herself and pulling back. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 350 and $anna.fear lte 400>>\ Anna remains very still, her body so tense that it seems to vibrate. You can see in her eyes that she's trying hard not to panic, but it's a battle you can see her loosing with every passing second. You have to hold her wrist just to get the key into the lock, then with a simple turn, it clicks and she's free. In the blink of an eye, you can see relief flood her expression. <<else>>\ Anna shies away from your sudden movement, flinching as she pulls at the cuff locking her to the bed. A shudder goes through her body as she sees you reach for her. With one hand you take her wrist, holding her still as you use the key to unlock her. She remains frozen in place as relief washes over the anxiety that was just threatening to overwhelm her. <</if>>\ [[Comfort Anna.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1d]] [[Scold Misaki.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1e]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 4 }>>

Smiling at the scene in front of you, you begin to undress. Once done, you look at the two girls, Misaki trying to look enticing and clearly looking excited, and Anna who's expression is pinched and is curled up protectively. When you crawl onto the bed, you can see Misaki turn her bottom toward you, her fingers drifting between her legs to part her labia invitingly. At the same time, Anna's eyes flicker to you before quickly looking away again. <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 100 and $anna.trust gte 650>>Reaching out, you place your hand lightly on Anna's hip. When her eyes turn toward you, you can see her expression soften, her fear giving way to her affection for you. Without prompting, Anna smiles faintly, then moves into her hands and knees to present herself in a similar manner to Misaki. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 450 or $anna.fear lte 500>>Reaching out, you place your hand on Anna's hip. She tenses slightly, then takes a deep breath and seems to relax You only need to give her hip a gentle tug to prompt her onto her hands and knees to present herself in a similar manner to Misaki. <<else>>Your hand lashes out, swatting Anna lightly on the bottom. She makes a surprised sound, near panic in her eyes as she looks at you. <<talk "player">>Up."<</talk>>\ You command her. Instantly, she does as she is told, posing on her hands and knees in a similar manner to Misaki. <</if>>[[Have them give you a double blowjob.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1h]] [[Start with Anna.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1i]] [[Start with Misaki.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1j]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

Moving toward Anna, you help her gather her clothes. <<talk "player">>This wasn't my idea, and Misaki should have thought about this before doing anything like this.<</talk>>\ The hard look that you cast toward Misaki is lost on her. <<if $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 650>>\ Slipping your arms around her, you pull her into a gentle embrace. She shakes for just a moment, like she might be crying, but then she finally pulls back. Her eyes search yours as her expression softens, then she looks away as the faintest hint of a smile touches her lips. <<talk "player">>You going to be alright?<</talk>>\ You ask, already knowing the answer. Anna nods, then allows you to pull her into another tight hug. You kiss her on the brow, then release her again. Your eyes are drawn to her body, seemingly unaware of her nakedness or the way you are looking at her as she starts to gather up her clothes. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 650 and $anna.fear lte 300>>\ Slipping your arms around her, you pull her into a gentle embrace.

You kiss her on the brow, then release her. Your eyes are drawn to her body, seemingly unaware of her nakedness or the way you are looking at her as she starts to gather up her clothes. <<else>>\ Slipping your arms around her, her body goes rigid. You hold her like that for a little while, but she only relaxes a little bit. When you release her, you reach out and cup her cheek with one hand. There is clear fear in her eyes as you ask. <<talk "player">>You going to be alright?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Yes sir,<</talk>>\ Her voice is very soft as she replies. She looks uncertain as she leans back, as if expecting you to make a demand of her at any moment. <</if>>\ [[Pull her back to you.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1f]] [[Let her get dressed.|Anna Misaki Threesome 1g]] Generously Sponsored by Matty<<set $anna.affection += 5>><<set $anna.fear -= 5>><<set $anna.trust += 5>><<set $misaki.affection -= 10>><<set $misaki.fear += 5>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>

Rounding on Misaki, you don't even try to hide your anger. <<talk "player">>What the hell is wrong with you?<</talk>>\ Misaki flinches back as if physically struck, clearly not expecting your reaction. <<talk "player">>You can't do something like this to Anna!

<<if $anna.affection gte 725 and $anna.fear lte 200 and $anna.trust gte 650>>Reaching out, you take her hand before she can escape, gently tugging her back toward you. When her eyes meet yours, she nods subtly. She smiles faintly as her chest rises with a deep breath. With a gentle tug, you pull her into your lap, causing her to straddle you in the process. You reach out with one hand, you cup her cheek affectionately. Her eyes half close as she leans her face into your palm. With your other hand, you reach around to cup her ass, pulling her tightly against your growing bulge. Behind you, as if sensing what is unfolding on the other side of the bed, Misaki makes a little disappointed sound. Reaching between you and Anna, you only start to unfasten your pants when Anna reaches down to do it for you. Within seconds, your manhood springs free. Anna's eyes meet yours, silently asking permission before guiding your rigid shaft to her waiting hold and slowly sliding down your length. By the time you feel her hips meet yours, you can feel a drop of her arousal running down your shaft and tickling your balls as gravity pulls it toward the bed. A soft sigh escapes Anna's lips as she pants in your ears, her hips moving as she enjoys the feel of you inside of her. Her gently riding you is nice, the pleasure you are experiencing seems to have no urgency, no driving need behind the action, merely pleasure for the sake of pleasure with each movement coaxing both of you the tiniest fraction closer to your eventual climax. When you notice her watching your face, you give her what you hope she interprets as a reassuring smile. One second to the next, she's suddenly clinging to you, her breasts pressed firmly against your chest as her hips begin to move faster. Her lips brush your cheek as she pants in your ear. Then she's trembling in your arms, clinging to you as a gush of fluids surge from her pussy. At the same time, the way her vagina tightens around you at just the right moment pushes you over the edge, your cock jerking hard as you begin to cum. You're just starting to come down from your high when Anna tenses in your arm. Not understanding what has caused the change in behavior, you pull back slightly then follow her gaze. Your eyes fall on Misaki, still sitting on the other end of the bed and her expression pouty in a way that you think would look more fitting on Eve's features. Turning back to Anna, you give her a little kiss before coaxing her out of your lap. Misaki leans toward you a little, emphasizing her chest as she sprawls seductively across the sheets. <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $misaki.affection -= 5>><<set $misaki.fear += 5>><<elseif $anna.affection gte 350 and $anna.fear lte 400>>Reaching out, you take her hand before she can escape, pulling her back toward you.

Reaching between you and Anna, you only start to unfasten your pants when Anna reaches down to do it for you. Within seconds, your manhood springs free. Without a word, she rises up, guiding your cock to her waiting hole, then lowering herself onto it. Her pussy is moist, but not yet fully wet. She settles into a pattern of easing a little bit of your penis into her, then pulling back before doing it again. Each time she takes a bit more of your manhood until you finally feel her settle fully into your lap. She remains like that for only a couple of seconds before she starts to ride you. Her movements are full of purpose, her pussy becoming wetter as she rides you. It's not long before you can feel her breath against your cheek as her arousal builds. The wet sounds of her hips meeting yours fill the room, the scent of her growing arousal filling the air. A quick glance toward Misaki reveals that she's still sitting in the same spot, a pout on her face and her fingers between her legs as she's left out of the situation she had hoped to play a part in.

Her movements are measured, almost mechanical in their predictable rhythm, her pussy becoming wetter little by little. IAs she starts to loose herself in the sensations of what is happening, she leans in to you, her breath hot against your cheek as she pants.

Your eyes linger on her body, enjoying the sight of the contours of her body as she begins to dress herself. She's just finishing up when she finally notices you watching. You can see just a hint of color touch her cheeks before she excuses herself to leave. As she makes her exit, you turn back toward Misaki, only to discover that she's already slipped away as well while you were distracted by Anna.

Moving on to the bed between Anna and Misaki, Misaki instinctively turns toward you, pulling slightly at her handcuff as she fumbles about in search of you. Her hand first comes to rest on your belly, then quickly moves lower until she finds your manhood. The moment she finds it, she leans forward, her lips parting as she first licks the head, then moves to lick the length of your shaft. Anna proves more hesitant. <<if $anna.affection gte 750 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 650>>Her eyes turn to you, her expression softening slightly, then she looks to Misaki. Seeming to sense what you want, she moves to join the other woman, kissing the side of your cock while Misaki continues to lick. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 200 and $anna.fear lte 775>>Her eyes turn to you, then she takes a deep breath and nods to herself before looking to Misaki. When Anna moves to join the other woman, there is no hesitation in her movements. <<else>>The fear in Anna's eyes is like a physical thing. She closes her eyes, taking a deep breath, but still doesn't move yet. It's not until you reach out, your hand coming to rest first on the side of her neck, then moving to the back of her head that she finally moves. You don't have to force her, but the weight of your hand acts as a reminder that you could if you wanted to. Anna leans forward, her eyes darting between you, Misaki, and your cock one last time before her lips brush the side of your manhood. <</if>>When Anna's nose brushes Misaki, the blind woman giggles happily, then releases your cock just long enough to kiss a surprised looking Anna directly on the lips before returning her attention to you. <<if $anna.affection gte 800 and $anna.fear lte 150 and $anna.trust gte 650>>Watching them, it's clear that Misaki is happy, her little smiles and soft moans emphasizing her pleasure.

While Misaki licks and sucks your cock noisily and with enthusiasm, Anna proves more reserved, seeming to take her time and enjoy the experience. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 350 or $anna.fear lte 400>>Watching them, you can see the hesitation in Anna, though she does eventually start to get into it. Misaki on the other hand is all enthusiasm, licking and sucking your cock as if there is nothing in the world she would rather be doing. <<else>>Looking down at the two of them, you're amazed at the contrast. Misaki is all enthusiasm, putting her talents to good use while bringing you to the heights of pleasure. Anna on the other hand is reserved, almost mechanical in her actions, as if she's performing a routine. Her attentions prove no less pleasureable for it. <</if>>Closing your eyes, you savor the feeling of the two ladies seeking to pleasure you. One sucking your balls or licking your shaft while the other licks the head of your cock or has her head bobbing up and down your shaft. Every minute or two, they switch places, or pause to kiss one another. It's not until you can feel your balls pulling tight, your cock swelling even further, that you open your eyes to look at the girls again. Misaki pulls back, your cock leaving her mouth with an audible 'pop' as she grins. Anna, slightly slower to realize what is happening, slides her lips along the side of your cock and has just enough time to close her lips around the crown of your cock when you start to cum. The first blast goes directly into Anna's mouth, causing her to jerk back and take the second to the face. Misaki tries to move in, her expectant expression suggesting that she's excited to feel your hot seed against her skin, but the third blast flies between the two ladies, and the fourth is barely a dribble that falls on the bed between the three of you. <<if $anna.affection gte 950 and $anna.fear lte 50>>With one finger, Anna scoops up a little bit of the cum and starts to rise it to her lips. She's clearly watching your expression, and with a hint of mischief in her eyes, she moves her finger to Misaki's mouth.

Then Misaki leans forward, her lips touching Anna's skin, her tongue gliding over Anna's flesh as she greedily licks your cum off of her body. Bit by bit, she consumes almost all of it, leaving glistening wet skin in her wake before kissing Anna full on her lips.

Moving toward Anna, you let your eyes drift over her body. Every contour on open display. <<if $anna.affection gte 750 and $anna.fear lte 250 and $anna.trust gte 750>>As if in invitation, you can see the petals of her moist pussy part before your eyes. A second later she looks over her shoulder at you. It's clear at a glance that she doesn't like being restrained like this, but you can also see trust and acceptance in her eyes. It only takes another moment to move into position, then with one hand you slide your cock up and down her slit, moistening it with her own fluids before nudging forward. A soft moan escapes Anna's lips as you slide inside, the confines of her vagina eagerly accepting your manhood. You hold yourself inside of her for several heartbeats, just enjoying the feel of her vagina wrapped around your penis, then you begin to fuck her, slow even movements as you slide in and out of her. <<elseif $anna.affection gte 350 or $anna.fear lte 400>>Reaching out, your fingers drift between Anna's legs where you find that she's not quite wet yet. It only a few seconds of your attention to change that. As soon as you think she's wet enough, you move behind her and shuffle into position. Anna looks over her shoulder at you, her eyes searching yours for just a second before becoming carefully composed. Easing yourself forward, you slide inside of her with a single smooth stroke. Anna makes a breathless sound as the tip of your cock settles against her cervix. You hold yourself inside of her for several heartbeats, just enjoying the feel of her vagina wrapped around your penis, then you begin to fuck her, slow even movements as you slide in and out of her. <<else>>When you reach out to touch her, Anna seems to flinch away from your touch. Then after looking back over her shoulder at you, she pushes her bottom further into the air invitingly. Her expression is carefully unreadable as she looks away again.

She's not quite wet enough to allow you easy entry, but you pull back and push forward again. She grunts in discomfort, but after several tries you finally feel your hips press firmly against hers. You hold yourself inside of her for several heartbeats, just enjoying the feel of her vagina wrapped around your penis, then you begin to fuck her, slow even movements as you slide in and out of her. It takes a few minutes, but you finally begin to settle into a steady rhythm as she becomes wetter. <</if>>Meanwhile, Misaki moves so she's in the same position as Anna, presenting herself on hands and knees in the same way. At the same time, you reach over with one hand, caressing Miskai's ass, much to her delight, then allowing your fingers to drift between her legs where you find her wet and ready You continue for a few more strokes, then quickly move to Misaki. Guiding yourself to her soaking wet hole and slamming into her. She lets out a squeal of delight at being filled so suddenly. Then, unlike with Anna, you begin to fuck her hard and fast from the start. As soon as you can feel the telltale sighns of an approaching orgasm, you quickly move back to Anna, plunging back into her waiting hole. Back and forth you go, each time you feel an orgasm starting to rise, you move to the other girl, each time delaying the inevitable for a few more precious seconds Then, you're past the point of no return. You hold back as hard as you can but you only buy yourself enough time to switch one more time before you loose all control. <<set $random to random(1,3)>><<if $random is 1>>Misaki squeals in delight as she feels you pulse and throb inside of her, pressing back against you as you fill her greedy cunt full of cum.

Knowing full well that Misaki is already wet and ready, you move into position behind her. You've barely started to line yourself up with her hole when you feel her hand reach between her own legs and guide you in. You don't even pretend to be gentle, you simply plunge forward, causing Misaki to let out a satisfied groan. //Like a bitch in heat, getting exactly what her body is craving.// Holding onto her hip with one hand, you reach out with the other to give Anna a little tug. <<if $anna.affection gte 850 and $anna.fear lte 150>>Anna looks at you, her eyes filled with her affection for you, and moves into a position that matches Misaki's.

It only seems to take her a second to figure out what you want and she quickly moves into the same position Misaki is kneeling in so that her hip is pressed against the other woman's.

Your fingers slide along her labia, parting them as you seek out the moist space between them. <<else>>Almost mechanically, Anna moves into a position that matches Misaki's, her hip pressed against the other woman's as she presents her ass to you.

Then you let your hand drift lower, down between her legs where your fingers probe for her sex. <</if>>You continue to thrust into Misaki for a few more strokes, then quickly move to Anna. Pulling your slick fingers out of her ready hole, you quickly replace them with your cock.

The sound of Anna's troubled voice pulls your attention toward the laundry area. You can't make out the words, but you can tell that she's upset. As you approach, you see Anna facing someone, a pair of panties in her hand as she looks at the person standing across from herself. Rey to their credit, stands there with his shoulders sagging, his eyes firmly on the ground at his feet. <<talk "anna">>You can't be taking other people's clothes.<</talk>>\ Anna continues, color flushing her cheeks. <<talk "thought">>How can she look so upset and so timid at the same time?<</talk>>\ [[Watch to see what happens.|Anna and Rey Interactive Scene 1a]] [[Ask what's going on.|Anna and Rey Interactive Scene 1b]] [[Step in on Anna's behalf.|Anna and Rey Interactive Scene 1c]] [[Step in on Rey's behalf.|Anna and Rey Interactive Scene 1d]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\

Remaining quiet, you watch the two of them. <<talk "rey">>I don't understand why you're going through our clothes, and stealing panties?<</talk>>\ Rey seems to tremble slightly. <<talk "rey">>I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm.<</talk>>\ He manages, his voice sounding raw and just a little too high. Anna sighs, slumping slightly. <<talk "anna">>You have chores to do.<</talk>>\ To his credit, he nods, then darts away. He passes within a few paces of you, but never even sees you where you're standing. When you glance back at Anna, it's just in time to see her throw the panties into the washing machine with some other items and start another load of laundry. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\

Stepping into the laundry area, both Anna and Rey tense up at the sight of you. <<talk "player">>What's going on here?<</talk>>\ You ask, your eyes shifting between them. Rey looks like he wants to say something, but instead of making a sound, he just trembles slightly instead. When Rey doesn't immediately speak, Anna does. <<talk "anna">>I found him down here going through the laundry. He was stealing a pair of my panties.<</talk>>\ Your eyes shift to Rey. <<talk "player">>Is this true?<</talk>>\ Rey's voice comes out as barely a whisper. <<talk "anna">>Yes." <<talk "player">>Care to explain yourself?<</talk>>\ <<if $rey.affection gte 800 and $rey.fear lte 200 and $rey.trust gte 850>>\ Rey fidgets, his beautiful feminine eyes turning to you. <<talk "rey">>I...<</talk>>\ He swallows hard, his eyes flickering to his feet once more before locking on your eyes again. <<talk "rey">>I like feeling pretty.<</talk>>\ He says, then follows with a bare whisper. <<talk "rey">>For you.<</talk>>\ You remain quiet for several seconds, aware that both Anna and Rey's eyes are looking at you with anticipation. <<talk "player">>If you want to feel pretty, I'm not stopping you from dressing however you want, but you shouldn't be stealing clothes from the girls.<</talk>>\ Rey nods slowly, looking on the verge of tears.

When you let him go, he seems uncertain. <<talk "rey">>I'm sorry for being a bother.<</talk>>\ He manages before starting to turn. <<talk "rey">>I should get back to my chores now.<</talk>>\ Without another word, he quickly scurries off.

Laundry area Rough scene outline: Anna and Rey You hear an exasperated Anna talking in the laundry area. Upon closer inspection, you discover that Rey had taken a pair of Anna's panties from the laundry. You can choose to see how it plays out, step in and join Anna in berating Rey, or ask why Rey took them. Depending on relationship would determine how the last version would play out. Ranging from "Curious" to "I thought they would be pretty" to "I thought maybe you'd look at me the way you look at her."

You see the bustling form of Anna as she prepares for the next meal. Instead of Eve's usual shadow dogging her steps, you notice Rey's slim figure hovering behind her.

He mimics one of Anna's deft motions with a clumsy grab. A spoon flies off the counter and clatters to the floor, prompting Anna to raise an elegant eyebrow. <<talk "anna">>Not quite.<</talk>> She says, bending over to retrieve the fallen utensil. You catch an appreciative glimpse of Anna's long legs during the process. <<talk "anna">>Look...<</talk>> Anna starts as she resumes stirring the pot. She hesitates, but eventually finds enough resolve to tell it to Rey straight. <<talk "anna">>I don't think you're ready for this type of work.<</talk>> <<talk "rey">>I wanted to do something nice for <<print $rey.callsPlayer>>. A home cooked meal is something that always made me feel good!<</talk>> Rey discloses, his large eyes sparkling with excitement. <<talk "anna">>Well, cooking is more complicated than that. What spices do you think would compliment this meal? Do they fit? Would <<print $anna.callsPlayer>> enjoy this combination?<</talk>> She trails off. <<talk "rey">>Do you know what cum in is?<</talk>> Rey mutely shakes his head, long hair rippling down his back. Anna lets out a world-suffering sigh. <<talk "anna">>First, tie your hair up. Contaminating the food would be embarrassing.<</talk>> Rey grins, taking no offense to Anna's strict tone. He pulls his black hair into a pony tail and eagerly awaits further instructions. <<talk "anna">>Ok.<</talk>> She nods in approval as she pats her own safely secured locks. <<talk "anna">>Wash your hands next.<</talk>> You hide a smile as Anna spends some time correcting Rey's many cooking blunders. It gets to the point where even you have to admit the waif has close to no talent when it comes to handling food. He can heat a pot of water to boiling... sadly, that seems to be the extent of his abilities. <<talk "rey">>Wow, I didn't know you could do it that way!<</talk>> Rey exclaims when Anna demonstrates her dough kneading abilities. She stops and gives Rey a pointed glare. He shuffles a bit in place, hunching his neck and shoving his residue-covered hands into his pockets. Anna sighs again as she mutters something under her breath. You grin, seeing another side of Anna that rarely manifests. <<talk "anna">>I'll let you handle heating the pots and pans. Do you think you can do it without messing up?<</talk>> Rey nods emphatically. She stares at him until she gets a verbal promise. <<talk "anna">>Oh, and wash your hands again. Don't stick them anywhere you please! Your cooking is my cooking when it goes out to <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>> She commands with an air of authority. Rey wanders back to the sink and washes his hands again, cheerfully humming all the while. You cough, drawing Anna's attention. You wave and nod, letting her know how much you appreciate her patience with action. A small smile graces her face as she turns back into her work. Rey remains blissfully unaware as he carefully scrubs himself at the sink.

Nervous energy bounces around inside of his body, as though deathly afraid she'd say no. You see a flash of reluctance cross her face as she considers her reply. <<talk "anna">>Are you capable of cooking?<</talk>> <<talk "rey">>Well, I know how to make noodles.

I don't have time for this. I have a job to do....<</talk>> Anna pauses as she sets her hands on her hips. <<talk "rey">>You have a job to do.<</talk>> Rey wilts under her oppressive stare and hunches his neck. He draws into himself and gives her a tiny nod, his plump lips twitching under the pressure. The unspoken implication forces him to stop his hovering and at least pretend to get back to work. He lets out a soft sigh and turns away. He freezes, catching sight of you. Rey's fair complexion reddens. He stutters, not quite able to get a proper word out. You fix him with a stare of your own.

P-Please, Anna!<</talk>> Rey pleads with wide eyes. She squares her shoulders as she mulls over Rey's desperate entreaty. The way she purses her lips and narrows her eyes in determination has you eying her in a different light. A strand of blond hair comes free as she reluctantly nods her head. <<talk "anna">>Fine.

Rey, for his part, accepts her teaching with an open mind. He listens attentively, even when her biting instructions border on the edge of insults.

As you enter the bathing room, you pause as you see Anna floating on her back, her breasts protruding above the surface of the water. On the opposite side of the pool, Yami is leaning against the wall and making a concerted effort to not stare at her. You have to smirk at this. <<talk "thought">>Yami's not as asexual as she wants people to believe. Oh, this could make for perfect blackmail material...<</talk>>\ Standing upright, Anna walks over to where Yami is with a concerned expression. She speaks, but you can't quite make out what she's saying, but with each step Anna takes Yami looks increasingly uncomfortable -- even scared -- but she seems rooted in place. <<talk "thought">>Why doesn't she just leave?<</talk>>\ Peering at Yami, Anna presses the back of her hand to the dark-skinned girl's forehead, checking her temperature. Yami leans away and tries to lift herself onto the edge of the pool, but her hand slips and she plunges back down into it. <<talk "thought">>Ouch...<</talk>>\ You wince, but Yami pops up a few seconds later looking mortified. <<talk "thought">>Ooh, looks like she got an eyefull of something nice...<</talk>>\ You smirk, wishing you were in Yami's position. As Anna moves towards her, Yami tenses visibly, shuddering. Her face isn't visible, but you can guess that she's struggling to suppress her instinctual urge to lash out and attack that which she feels is threatening her. Anna pauses, uncertainty and fear flickering across her face. To your surprise, Anna doesn't back down. Instead, she closes her eyes and steels herself, walking towards Yami and laying a hand on her back. Yami tenses even more, her fingers curving into claws, and Anna recoils with an expression of fear verging on terror. Yami turns to face Anna with a distraught expression, but this time it's Anna who's backing away. Grimacing, Yami collapses to her knees, submerging entirely. Edging closer, you see she is cradling her head with her hands. <<talk "thought">>She's crying, but she doesn't want Anna to see...<</talk>>\ Her back to the edge of the pool, Anna turns to look at Yami, as though expecting to see the temperamental dark-skinned girl chasing her. Yami remains kneeling on the bottom of the pool, and Anna's fear is slowly replaced with concern. As the seconds continue to tick by and Yami still doesn't surface, you feel your own concern start to rise. <<talk "thought">>Is she trying to drown herself?<</talk>>\ You're about to step out of your hiding place and jump in to save her when Yami stirs and slowly rises. Hugging herself, she turns to look at Anna with a mournful expression, her mouth moving as she speaks. Anna hesitantly replies, looking ready to leap out of the pool and bolt for the door at the first sign of aggression from Yami. Haltingly, Yami turns to look at Anna and reaches out towards her with one hand. Anna flinches away, scrabbling for the edge of the pool, but in her haste she unbalances, slipping on the wet floor and falling back into Yami's arms. For a long moment Yami holds Anna, the two gazing into each other's eyes... And then the moment is gone. Excusing herself, Anna climbs out and towels off, getting dressed as she makes her way towards the other entrance. Turning her back to Anna once more, Yami sinks so that only her head is poking above the surface, hugging herself. Not wanting to risk Yami noticing you and getting angry for being a peeping tom, you withdraw from the bathing room and go about your business. [[End|$location]]

Hearing the faint strains of classical music — a waltz with an overly convoluted name by some guy who's been dead for three-hundred years — emanating from the ballroom, you pause in the open doorway and peer inside. Sunlight is streaming in from the windows, illuminating the room's interior with a radiant glow so brilliant you have to shield your eyes. <<talk "thought">>Someone waxed the floors…<</talk>>\ As your eyes adjust to the light, you see that the floor has been polished such that it practically reflects the room. The music is coming from an old-school radio sitting atop the mantle of the fireplace at the far end of the room, plugged into an electrical outlet. A mop, broom, bucket of water, and a can of floor wax sit in the corner. <<talk "thought">>So someone was cleaning here…?<</talk>>\ It's then that you notice Anna, who is standing in the centre of the room, swaying to the tune of the music. Her hair catches the sunlight as she twirls, forming a halo around her head. <<talk "thought">>She looks… beautiful.<</talk>>\ Footsteps behind you break you from your trance and you turn to see Yami approaching with a concerned expression. <<talk "yami">>Boss, is something the-<</talk>>\ Yami stops abruptly, her mouth hanging open as she looks past you and catches sight of Anna. <<talk "player">>She's beautiful, isn't she?<</talk>>\ You whisper, more to yourself than to Yami. Yami nods wordlessly, a wistful expression on her face. Seeing the normally tough and brusque woman so vulnerable makes you feel strange, like you're intruding on something you shouldn't be.

Smirking, you lean over and whisper in Yami's ear. <<talk "yami">>Go on, ask her.<</talk>>\ She scowls at you and palms your face, pushing you away. Between her fingers you can see her attention is refocused on Anna, her expression one of longing. <<talk "player">>C'mon Yami, you know you wanna…<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Hush!<</talk>>\ Yami growls, but there's no anger in her voice. Her grip on your face tightens so that her fingernails dig into your forehead and cheekbones — but not enough to hurt. <<talk "player">>Why? Why can't I just go up and ask her?<</talk>>\ She lets go of you, staring down at her hands as though she's about to launch into a soliloquy about how steeped in blood — or however that line goes — she is. Massaging your cheeks and forehead to work out the divots, you consider her. <<talk "thought">>Yami and Anna have both led hard lives of loss and suffering… if they can find even momentary happiness, I should support them, shouldn't I?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Yami…<</talk>>\ You lay a hand on her shoulder and she immediately stiffens, her entire body tensing. <<talk "player">>Just relax. You're overthinking things. Stop torturing yourself and just ask go her.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>How can I?<</talk>>\ Yami whispers, more to herself than to you. <<talk "yami">>I'm a monster, and she… she is—<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Someone who needs as much love as she can get.<</talk>>\ You turn Yami to face the room and lightly shove her through the doorway. <<talk "thought">>Honestly… this girl can face down an angry grizzly bear without flinching, but asking someone to dance is beyond her?<</talk>>\ You shake your head and chuckle to yourself.

<<talk "player">>Hey, Anna!<</talk>>\ You wave to catch her attention, smiling as you sling an arm around Yami's shoulder and practically drag her over. Yami tenses and lets out a sharp gasp that's almost a hiss, gritting her teeth. She could easily break free, but she doesn't. <<talk "anna">>Oh!<</talk>>\ Anna stops dancing immediately, eyeing you nervously as Yami breaks free from your grip and straightens out her ruffled suit, scowling at you. Anna seems mortified that she was caught doing something other than working. <<talk "yami">>"I… I'm sorry, I was just admiring the wax job on the floor. I'll get back to work right away!<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Hold on.<</talk>>\ You grab Anna's hand and tug on it to get her attention. She jolts and looks at you with a mix of uncertainty and hopefulness. <<talk "player">>Yami here has something she wants to ask you.<</talk>>\ You deftly step aside, giving Yami an encouraging nod as you make your way to the piano bench and take a seat.

Standing back, you gesture for Yami to get her ass in there and ask Anna to dance. <<talk "player">>Go get her, tiger. Make that dark god of yours proud.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Heretic…<</talk>>\ Yami swats your hand away as you move to clap her on the back, but there's no malice in her voice. Inhaling deeply, she mutters a prayer under her breath, her eyes closed as her lips move soundlessly. For a moment Yami is utterly still, and then she steps into the room with a determined expression. <<talk "player">>Anna, might I have a moment of your time?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Oh? Y-Yami?<</talk>>\ Anna jumps at Yami's sudden appearance. <<talk "yami">>Y-yes, what would you like…?<</talk>>\ It might just be a trick of the light, but Yami seems to tower over Anna, blocking out the light from the window and leaving her standing in shadows. Anna looks up at Yami nervously, like a mouse being confronted by a cat. You sigh and facepalm, keeping out of sight to avoid interrupting. <<talk "thought">>I wish Yami would dial back the sinisterness. Can't she see she's scaring Anna?<</talk>>\ You can't quite make out what's being said, but Yami shakes her head as Anna asks a question. Glancing in your direction, Yami frowns and speaks again. <<talk "thought">>I should really learn to read lips…<</talk>>\ Anna turns away from Yami, hugging herself, and Yami reaches out to lay a hand on Anna's shoulder. Anna jumps as though shocked, and Yami quickly withdraws her hand, looking alarmed at Anna's reaction. Looking sullen and more than a little dismayed, Yami asks a question and Anna immediately brightens. The more she talks the more dismayed Yami's expression becomes, but as Anna turns back to face her Yami forces herself to smile… though it's obvious even from where you're standing that the expression doesn't reach her eyes. Clearing her throat, Yami gets down on one knee and takes one of Anna's hands in her own. You quirk an eyebrow at this. <<talk "thought">>Is she asking to dance or proposing to her?<</talk>>\ Anna pulls her hand free and clutches it to her chest as though it's been burnt, backing away from Yami with an expression of confusion, fear, and growing… <<talk "thought">>Anger?<</talk>>\ It's subdued, but you can see Anna speaking tersely, Yami flinching as though each statement is a knife to her heart. As Anna storms towards the door, Yami stands and reaches out to her with a dismayed expression, calling out loud enough for you to hear, <<talk "yami">>//Yamero//, Anna! Please wait! I didn't…!<</talk>>\ Seeing Anna make a beeline for the door, you take a few rapid steps back and then act as though you were just walking down the hall. Anna almost runs into you as she exits the ballroom, a look of indignation on her face. <<talk "anna">>Oh! <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>! S-sorry, I…<</talk>>\ She stops abruptly and takes a moment to compose herself, straightening her dress. <<talk "anna">>I'm just getting back to work.<</talk>>\ Through the doors you can see Yami kneeling on the floor and cradling her head in her hands. <<talk "thought">>Is she… crying…?<</talk>>\ Before you can ask Anna what happened, she's already making her way down the hall. Clenching your fist, you stare at Yami's slumped-over form. [[Go to her.|Submitted Yami Anna Scene 1f]] [[Leave.|$location]] ''Submitted by Asura'' <<addtime { minute : 8 }>> <<set $yami.affection -= 3>><<set $yami.fear += 2>><<set $yami.trust -= 5>>

<<talk "yami">>Anna... I was wondering if… you would like to dance with me?<</talk>>\ Yami clears her throat and composes herself, standing upright. Anna is silent for a moment that seems to stretch on forever, processing Yami's request. Her eyes flick over to where you're sitting and you smile, giving her an encouraging nod. This gesture seems to break her out of her stupor and she nods, hesitantly and uncertain. <<talk "anna">>I… umm… okay…<</talk>>\ Yami reaches out and takes Anna's hand in hers, raising it to plant a kiss on her knuckles. Anna blushes slightly, though her eyes again flicker over to you — as if gaging how you're reacting to this. Yami lays her hands at Anna's waist, fingers delicately resting on her hips, and Anna rests her arms on Yami's shoulders, fingers clasped around the back of her neck — though her eyes are on you rather than Yami. Initially, Anna and Yami simply sway in place in a slow-dance, getting a feel for the beat of the music. Anna's inexperience is painful to watch, and you wince every time she steps on Yami's feet or stumbles. You're surprised that Yami doesn't even flinch, instead murmuring words of encouragement. <<talk "thought">>That amount of pain must be nothing to her…<</talk>>\ As the music swells, Yami and Anna settle into a rhythm and begin dancing in earnest, Yami taking one of Anna's hands in her own and leading her in a waltz — one of Yami's hands on the small of Anna's back, with Anna's other hand resting on Yami's arm. As Anna slowly grows more comfortable, her steps become less hesitant and awkward; and as Yami twirls her you catch a glimpse of her smiling. <<talk "thought">>She seems to be enjoying herself.<</talk>>\ You smile to yourself, leaning back against the piano. As the song comes to a close, Yami dips Anna so that one of her feet lifts off the floor. Anna lets out an ''"Eep!"'' as her other foot slips on the waxed floor, but Yami quickly catches her and pulls her upright so that they're face-to-face.

Slowly, you step into the ballroom and walk towards Yami, whose back is to you. <<talk "thought">>Yep. She's crying.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Hey, Yami… are you-<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Get out. Just get out and leave me alone!<</talk>>\ Yami hisses, not looking at you. She sucks in a shuddering breath, sniffling and then growling as though angry at herself for this display of emotional vulnerability. <<talk "player">>Yami…<</talk>>\ You hesitate, sensing the frustration and despair in her voice building into an emotional powder-keg. <<talk "player">>Just… talk to me. Maybe I can help-<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>//Urusai!//<</talk>>\ Yami snaps, turning to face you. Tear-tracks streak her face, but she furiously wipes them away. <<talk "yami">>All she talks about is you and how amazing you are! How kind and sweet and gentle!<</talk>>\ She gesticulates angrily, her fingers hooked into claws as she again clutches her face. <<talk "yami">>She… she loves you, and I… I'm nothing to her… less than nothing…<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Yami…<</talk>>\ You kneel beside her and reach out to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, but Yami's hand snaps out and grabs your wrist, her grip vice-like. <<talk "player">>Yami, let go! You're hurting me!<</talk>>\ Slowly, Yami tilts her head up to look at you, a dark epiphany sparking her sorrow and grief into rage. <<talk "yami">>You… you set me up, didn't you? Thought you'd get a laugh out of seeing me make a f-fool of myself while you //netorare// me! Is that it?!<</talk>>\ She abruptly releases your arm and you're sent sprawling onto the floor. <<talk "yami">>//Yurusenai…!//<</talk>>\ Yami hisses through bared teeth, her expression wild with grief and pain and rage. <<talk "yami">>// Yurusenai! Yurusenai! Yurusenai! Yurusenai!//<</talk>>\ She punctuates each shout by pounding her fist into the floor. When she stops, hunched over with her head bowed, her shoulders begin to tremble and you see droplets of water catch the light of the sun as they fall to spatter the floor. <<talk "yami">>H-hah… n-no wonder she doesn't w-want anything to do with me…<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Yami…<</talk>>\ You warily reach out and touch her shoulder. She tenses, but otherwise doesn't react. <<talk "player">>Yami, let me talk to her, OK?"<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>What's the p-point?<</talk>>\ Yami whispers, her voice hoarse and raw. <<talk "yami">>She deserves to be happy… and a monster like me can't make her happy.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You're not a monster, Yami. You have… issues… but so does everyone here, for one reason or another. And while Anna *does* deserve to be happy, especially after everything she's gone through… and so do you.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Do I?<</talk>>\ Yami laughs, harsh and bitter. <<talk "yami">>Do I really?<</talk>>\ Slowly, hesitantly, you pull her into a hug and pat her back. <<talk "yami">>Stop… no… let go…<</talk>>\ She shudders against you, but her struggling is half-hearted. <<talk "player">>Yeah, you do.<</talk>>\ You pull back and look into her face, smiling. <<talk "player">>I'll talk to Anna.<</talk>>\ Yami grumbles something that sounds like ''"Thank-you"'' under her breath, looking away from you and wiping her face. <<talk "yami">>I… should get back on patrol.<</talk>>\ Straightening, she exits the room and leaves you standing alone.

You clear your throat loudly, causing Anna to jump out of Yami's grasp. <<talk "player">>Ah-ah-ah, no getting handsy with the help, remember?<</talk>>\ You flash a sly smile as Yami turns to scowl at you. <<talk "player">>Besides, it's my turn to dance now.<</talk>>\ Smiling at Anna, you hold out your hand. <<talk "player">>Mind if I cut in, milady?<</talk>>\ Anna giggles and takes your hand, allowing herself to be swept along as a new song begins. As you circle around the room, counting out your steps — and having to begin again each time Anna steps on your toes — you see Yami disappear out the door. //Talk about a sore loser…// You shrug to yourself and return your attention to Anna, who has a blissful expression. "Enjoying yourself?" <<talk "anna">>Y-yes!<</talk>>\ Anna blushes giddily. <<talk "anna">>I… I've always wanted to dance like this, ever since I was a little girl… and now you've made my dream come true…<</talk>>\ You dip Anna, and as you rise you find yourselves face-to-face. Anna looks deep into your eyes, then closes hers and leans forward with pursed lips. You close the distance and press your lips to Anna's, feeling her arms close around your back, her chest press into yours. The seconds seem to stretch into infinity, but Anna finally breaks the contact, panting breathlessly. <<talk "anna">>I… should get back to work…<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You don't have to…<</talk>>\ You caress Anna's jawline, cupping her cheek. <<talk "player">>We could have a bit of fun…<</talk>>\ Anna looks tempted, but she shakes her head and pulls away. <<talk "anna">>I'd be setting a bad example for Eve…<</talk>>\ She turns and bites her lip. <<talk "anna">>Maybe… we can continue later?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Sure.<</talk>>\ You grin and make your way towards the door. <<talk "player">>I'll see you later, then.<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] <<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $yami.affection -= 3>><<set $yami.fear += 1>><<set $yami.trust -= 2>>Submitted by Asura <<addtime { minute : 9 }>>

Yami and Anna gaze into each others' eyes, their breaths intermingling. <<talk "thought">>Is she gonna go for it?<</talk>>\ Instead, Anna takes a step away and a dejected frown flickers across Yami's face. <<talk "thought">>Oh, for the love of… just kiss her already!<</talk>>\ Frown, considering giving them a little push, but before you can do it a look of determination sparks across Yami's face. <<talk "yami">>Anna…<</talk>>\ Yami takes Anna's hand as the maid turns to leave, Anna turning to face her with a quizzical expression. <<talk "yami">>I'm not good at… touchy-feely things. My god is one of power and wrath, and I have strived to honor him in all that I do. But you make me feel things I haven't felt in a long time… things I never thought I'd feel again, thought I never wanted to feel again.<</talk>>\ She reaches up to brush a strand of hair away from Anna's face, stepping closer. <<talk "yami">>Can I… kiss you?<</talk>>\ Anna freezes, her eyes flickering to you. You remember that your Uncle had forced her to have lesbian sex with other slaves for his entertainment. <<talk "thought">>It'd make sense if she had a whole mess of hangups regarding that, but… confronting the traumas of the past is one of the steps on the path to recovering them.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Anna…<</talk>>\ You interject, taking a few steps towards them, Yami turning to look at you with a quizzical frown on her face. <<talk "player">>Your body is your own, to keep to yourself or share with those you choose. You don't need my permission.<</talk>>\ As Anna processes your words, Yami gives her a look of immense sorrow and pulls her into a protective embrace. <<talk "player">>I'd say I can't believe anyone would dare hurt someone like you or your sister, but I know better. This world is full of monsters who do unspeakable things to those weaker than themselves, for no other reason than because they can…<</talk>>\ She tightens her grip on Anna, her expression one of fierce determination. <<talk "yami">>I won't rush you, or force you to do anything you don't want, but I can try to heal some of the pain you've suffered. Regardless, I swear on my honor as a servant of the Umbral Wyrm that I will protect you and your sister. I won't let anyone hurt you like that ever again.<</talk>>\ She pulls back and looks into Anna's eyes. <<talk "yami">>//Ore ga mamoru!//<</talk>>\ Slowly, hesitantly, Yami closes the distance between herself and Anna, touching her lips to Anna's forehead. Her eyes seeking permission, Yami cups Anna's cheek and leans in closer, touching her nose to Anna's. <<talk "yami">>Can I kiss you, Anna? Can I heal you?<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>I should give them some privacy…<</talk>>\ Smiling, you turn your back on the two girls and exit the room.

You smirk at Yami as you step into the room. <<talk "player">>Watch and learn, my young apprentice.<</talk>>\ Yami frowns, but nevertheless follows you into the room, wincing at the brightness of the sunlight. <<talk "yami">>Oh!<</talk>>\ Anna starts as she notices you. <<talk "anna">>M-Master! I… I didn't see you! I'm sorry, I'll-<</talk>>\ She moves towards the collection of cleaning supplies in the corner, but you grab her hand. She freezes, slowly turning to face you with a mix of confusion and fear in her eyes. <<talk "player">>Anna… would you care to dance?<</talk>>\ You speak as gently as you can. You're no expert in ballroom dancing, but you'll manage somehow. Just grab her waist — or ass — and move back and forth for a bit. In the corner of your eye you see Yami sit on the piano bench , staring at you with barely-disguised envy, and idly wonder if she can play, then turn your attention back to Anna. <<talk "player">>Shall we?<</talk>>\ Anna licks her lips, then hesitantly nods, shooting a concerned glance in Yami's direction. You lay your hands on her waist, smiling reassuringly as she rests her own at your shoulders, and you begin to dance. Barely a minute in you realize this was a horrible mistake. Anna steps on your toes repeatedly, and the two of you almost do more stumbling and staggering than waltzing. Yami snickers at the awkward sight, smirking sinisterly at your misfortune. <<talk "thought">>Damn… should've let her dance after all…!<</talk>>\ You flip her the bird behind Anna's back. <<talk "anna">>Thank-you for the dance, <<print $anna.callsPlayer>>.<</talk>>\ Anna smiles joyously at you. <<talk "anna">>I had a lot of fun… even if I'm not very good at it…<</talk>>\ Anna wilts as she looks down at your feet. <<talk "anna">>Sorry… if I hurt you…<</talk>>\ [[Console her.|Yami Anna Scene 1i]] [[Scold her.|Yami Anna Scene 1j]] ''Submitted by Asura'' <<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $anna.affection += 1>><<set $anna.fear -= 1>><<set $anna.trust += 1>><<set $yami.affection -= 5>><<set $yami.fear += 5>><<set $yami.trust -= 5>>

<<talk "player">>Hey, it's OK.<</talk>>\ You tilt Anna's face up to look at you and use your thumb to wipe away her tears. <<talk "player">>I had fun, and my feet will be fine… I think.<</talk>>\ You grin to let Anna know you're joking, pulling her into an embrace. <<talk "player">>Besides, I stepped on your toes almost as much as your stepped on mine. Don't worry, we'll get better at this.<</talk>>\ A flicker of movement catches your gaze as you see Yami disappearing through the door, pausing to shoot you a bitter look tinged with sorrow and jealousy. Letting go of Anna, you look around the room. <<talk "player">>You waxed this all by yourself, did you?<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>No… I-I mean, I was going to… but when I opened the door it was already done. I don't know who did this… but they did a passable job.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>Only passable? This looks professional. I can practically see my reflection here.<</talk>>\ You frown. <<talk "player">>Do you think Eve could have-<</talk>>\ Anna shakes her head. <<talk "anna">>Eve always leaves little scuff marks, so I usually just do it myself.

Anna shoots you a quizzical look as you chuckle, but you shake your head. <<talk "player">>No, it's nothing.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>It wouldn't surprise me if Misaki could clean this room better than anyone, but if anything she'd be more likely to drizzle the wax on herself and jill off…<</talk>>\ You shake your head again to clear it as a lurid mental image pops in, Anna shooting you another quizzical look. <</ if>>\ <<talk "player">>I guess the mystery of the waxed ballroom floor will forever remain unsolved.<</talk>>\ You shrug, turning towards the door… and stopping abruptly as you see Yami peeking in. <<talk "thought">>Wait… you don't think…<</talk>>\ As soon as Yami notices you looking at her, she narrows her eyes and makes an ''"I'm watching you"'' gesture before disappearing with a pouting expression. You stare after her incredulously, then shake your head. <<talk "thought">>Nah.<</talk>>\ Turning back to Anna, you take in the sight of her haloed by sunlight and smile. <<talk "player">>Well, I'll leave you to your work, then.

<<talk "player">>You should be sorry!<</talk>>\ You snap, glaring at Anna as you gingerly test your toes, wincing. <<talk "player">>You damn near crushed my toes!<</talk>>\ Any trace of happiness on Anna's face evaporates and she shrinks away from you, cowering. <<talk "player">>Oh, stop sniveling.

Before Anna can notice the two of you gawking at her, you step away from the door. <<talk "thought">>Best not disturb her…<</talk>>\ Your movement breaks Yami from her trance for a moment, but she turns back to watch Anna's dance. Shaking your head at Yami's hopeless crush, you turn and walk away. [[End.|$location]] '' Submitted by Asura'' <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>

As you step into the gym, you see Yami kneeling with her wooden sword by her side in a ritualistic pose, facing the far wall of the room. She’s dressed in her exercise getup, her hair tied back into a ponytail. <<talk "thought">>What is she doing?<</talk>>\ You frown, curiously peering at her as her lips move soundlessly. <<talk "thought">>Is she praying?<</talk>>\ At the far end of the gym, you see she’s set her little statuette on a small pedestal against the wall. <<talk "thought">>Ah... praying it is.<</talk>>\ Not wanting to disturb her, you take a seat on a bench and watch as she bows low, her hands braced against the floor and her forehead almost touching. As she rises into a kneeling position and climbs to her feet, Yami turns her head to look at you. <<talk "yami">>Hello, boss. Come to stare at my ass while I practice my //kata// again?<</talk>>\ She smiles, and while you can’t tell if it’s friendly or not, but even so it sends a shiver down your spine. <<talk "yami">>Err... of course not.<</talk>>\ She laughs at this, sinister and menacing. <<talk "player">>I wish you wouldn’t do that...<</talk>>\ You grimace, trying to suppress a shudder as she stops abruptly and just... stares at you. <<talk "thought">>I swear, sometimes I wonder if her whole crazy shtick is just an act, like a pro wrestler’s stage persona.<</talk>>\ You mull it over for a moment. <<talk "thought">>Nah, she’s definitely crazy.<</talk>>\ Ignoring you, Yami slides her sword into her belt and then lays her hand on it, ready to draw. <<talk "yami">>//Ikuzo.//<</talk>>\ Her breathing shifts, intensifying as she sinks into a ready stance and begins her //kata//, swinging the sword up and down over and over again, taking measured steps with each movement. After a while she begins to vary her movements shifting from stance to stance intermittently. Her attacks are brutal and relentless, punctuated by ferocious shouts, but her expression is one of fierce determination rather than her usual savage delight as she spars with an imaginary opponent. Every so often she pauses to correct her stance, shaking her head in frustration and muttering under her breath to herself. <<talk "player">>No, no, no... how did it go again? Ugh...!<</talk>>\ Eventually she stops correcting herself altogether, her strokes becoming frenzied and reckless as her frustration bleeds into rage. <<talk "yami">>Kuso! Kuso! Kuso! Kuso!<</talk>>\ With a sound halfway between a scream and a growl, she stops, clutching her face and breathing into her palm with her sword hanging limp at her side. <<talk "yami">>This isn’t working...<</talk>>\ Slowly, she turns to look at you and then raises her sword to point it straight at you.

You smile reassuringly, and she opens the door and step inside. <<talk "anna">>Sorry I took so long. I needed to ask-<</talk>>\ The door closes and cuts off Anna’s words, leaving you looking at her silhouette and Yami’s. <<talk "thought">>Huh...<</alk>>\ Almost unbidden, a mental picture of them in the sauna together, naked, springs into your mind. Anna massages Yami’s back with her breasts, sliding up and down and gasping as her nipples harden, her fingers reaching around to tweak Yami’s own nipples. Yami turns and kisses Anna full on the lips, sliding her leg between Anna’s own so that Anna’s pussy is pressed firmly against her thigh. Anna’s hips buck against Yami’s leg and she moans louder. Then Yami is suddenly behind Anna, kneading her breasts with one hand and fingering her with the other. In and out, in and out, Yami’s fingers pump, sending droplets of fluid spattering to the floor. When Anna’s knees buckle and she lets out a gasping moan, Yami lowers her to the floor and they begin eating each other out, tongues digging into each other’s- <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>... what are you doing?<</talk>>\ Your eyes snap open and you turn to see Eve staring at you, or rather the bulge in your pants. You swallow dryly, looking between the sauna door and Eve. Her eyes follow and then narrow as a mischievous grin spreads across her face. Before you can stop her, she darts towards the door and throws it open. <<talk "eve">>Are you having sex?<</talk>>\ Anna and Yami both jump, Anna slipping on the wet floor of the sauna. Yami immediately catches her, sweeping her into a bridal carry before disappearing from view as she puts as much distance between the intruder and themselves. <<talk "thought">>Oh no.<</talk>>\ Eve yelps and books it towards you as Yami slides back into view sans Anna, hooking her fingers on the door frame and sling-shotting herself out into the ballroom. Before Eve even makes it five paces, Yami snatches her up under one arm and lifts her as though she was made of paper. <<talk "player">>What were you thinking, Eve? You could have seriously injured Anna or yourself.<</talk>>\ Eve abruptly stops squirming and flailing, hanging limp as a kitten grabbed by the scruff of its neck. <<talk "eve">>I...<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>You didn’t think. You acted.<</talk>>\ Yami’s tone is stern and angry as she lifts Eve so that they’re eye-level. <<talk "player">>I admit I have something of a problem with that myself, and when I do that people often get hurt.<</talk>>\ You note that she leaves out the fact that she does this deliberately with the intention of hurting others. <<talk "eve">>Sorry!<</talk>>\ Eve whimpers, trying to curl up into a ball. <<talk "eve">>I’m sorry! Please don’t hurt me! I don’t wanna die!<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I’m not going to kill you, Eve... and don’t apologize to me.<</talk>>\ Yami retorts sternly, holding Eve level and glaring into her eyes. <<talk "yami">>Apologize to Anna. You’re lucky I was able to catch her.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Mmm...<</talk>>\ Eve whimpers and nods, Yami slowly lowering her to the ground. Cowed, Eve edges towards the sauna door and peeks inside. <<talk "eve">>A-Anna? Are you OK?<</talk>>\ There’s a muffled reply from inside, and Eve winces. <<talk "anna">>I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to-<</talk>>\ She dashes inside and you can hear her crying until the door closes. <<talk "yami">>Kids...<</talk>>\ Yami grumbles under her breath. She turns to look at you and smirks half-heartedly. <<talk "yami">>Time for me to head back out. Lucky you, getting out of sparring with me.<</talk>>\ [[Go to|Submitted Yami Home Gym Scene 2h]] ''Submitted by Asura'' <<addtime { minute : 5 }>>

<<talk "player">>She might. She has a nasty temper, you know, and then there’s the whole death cult thing...<</talk>>\ You channel a bit of Yami’s trademark sinister smile as you point your thumb at the statuette at the far end of the room. <<talk "player">>I bet a delicate morsel like you’d make a tasty treat for her evil god. You might not be a virgin, but a sacrifice is a sacrifice...<</talk>>\ Anna whimpers and shrinks away from you as well as the sauna door, edging towards the exit. <<talk "player">>Where do you think you’re going? You haven’t cleaned here yet. Yami’s looking for a ’sparring partner’, so you’d better do a good job of it. Broken bones are no excuse for missing work.<</talk>>\ Anna all-but drops the bucket of soapy water and begins mopping the floor with more intensity than usual, scanning the floor for any missed spots with borderline paranoia. <<talk "thought">>That’s more like it...<</talk>>\ You grin smugly as she progresses. <<talk "player">>Put your back into it, Anna, or I’ll order Yami to punish you!<</talk>>\ You bark, causing her to jump and work even faster. <<talk "thought">>Maybe I ''should'' have Yami punish her... that might be fun to watch...<</talk>>\ You allow your imagination to drift, picturing Anna cowering naked as Yami raises her sword - no, an enormous studded dildo - and brings it down with a crack across Anna’s buttocks. For some reason Yami is dressed in a dominatrix outfit, a cruel grin on her face as she strikes Anna’s back and ass again and again, hard enough to leave bruises. Yami rips her panties off with a snarl, grabbing Anna by the hair and ramming the blonde girl’s face into her crotch. Anna whimpers and begins to timidly lick, but Yami smacks her with the dildo and she redoubles her efforts. Grunting, Yami bucks and rolls her hips to force as much of Anna’s tongue into her as possible. When Yami finally orgasms, cumming all over Anna’s face, the blonde girl begs for mercy. Laughing maniacally, Yami knocks her to the floor with a two-handed strike from the dildo. Anna collapses with her ass in the air, and Yami wastes no time in mercilessly ramming the dildo into her- A shriek shatters your fantasy as Anna - the real Anna - slips on the soaked floor, striking her head on the hardwood. Immediately the door to the sauna flies open and Yami runs over to her, kneeling over her and checking to see if she’s breathing and her pulse is normal. <<talk "yami">>Anna... Anna, what happened?<</talk>>\ With a groan of pain, Anna’s eyes flutter open and then she recoils, screaming and scrambling away from Yami. As Anna babbles.. <<talk "anna">>Don’t hurt me!<</talk>>\ Over and over until it’s an incoherent, panicked jumble; Yami turns and glares at you. <<talk "yami">>What... did you do... to her?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Nothing.<</talk>>\ Backing away from Yami, you point at the excess amount of water on the floor. <<talk "player">>She was just mopping the floor and slipped.<</talk>>\ <<talk "yami">>Liar!<</talk>>\ Yami hisses, baring her teeth in a snarl, before turning to Anna, who is desperately trying to crawl to the door. <<talk "yami">>Anna, stop! You might have a concussion!<</talk>>\ Anna freezes instinctively, still whimpering and sobbing. As Yami approaches her, Anna spreads her legs automatically, giving you both a clear view of her panties. Yami freezes, staring for a brief moment, and then shakes her head vehemently. <<talk "yami">>No! I won’t hurt you. Not ever, and especially not like him!<</talk>>\ She spits the last word, sliding one arm under Anna’s knees and the other around her back. <<talk "player">>Up we go...<</talk>>\ Yami stands, lifting Anna easily and carrying her towards the exit. <<talk "player">>Let’s get you to bed. Rest will help calm you down.<</talk>>\ Just before she exits the room, she shoots you a terrifying look that tells you this is not over between you. In response, you flip her off before raising your pointer finger and wiggling your tongue between them. Her lips curling up in an expression of barely-checked rage, Yami slams the door. As soon as you’re alone, your knees almost buckle. <<talk "thought">>Fuck... I’m dead. I’m legitimately dead.<</talk>>\ Panic seizes you and you barely resist the urge to hurl yourself out the nearest window and hide in the forest. <<talk "thought">>The prospect of living off roots and bugs for the rest of my life is gross, but she’d never find me there... would she?<</talk>>\ Shaking your head you steel your resolve. <<talk "thought">>Come on, man up! She’s not going to kill me. Probably just... beat me to within an inch of my life... break all the bones in my body...<</talk>>\ You glance over at the door to the sauna. The bathing room is just past it. <<talk "thought">>Drowning is supposed to be a pretty peaceful way to go, isn’t it?<</talk>>\ The door opens abruptly and Yami steps into the room, her expression alarmingly placid. <<talk "yami">>Anna is in one of the guest rooms, and Eve is looking after her. She might have a moderate concussion, but that seems about it.<</talk>>\ Before you can react she suddenly lunges and you find yourself flat on the floor with her wooden sword pressed your throat, the cold darkness in her eyes paralyzing you. <<talk "yami">>I will give you the benefit of the doubt just this once, boss... but if I have even the slightest reason to suspect you were in any way responsible for her injury...<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You’ll kill me?<</talk>>\ You swallow, feeling the tip of the wooden sword against your trachea. If the sword was metal you’d be bleeding just from that. <<talk "yami">>No...<</talk>>\ Yami’s whisper is somehow even colder and darker than her eyes. <<talk "player">>But you’d be surprised what you can live through.<</talk>>\ With that she stands and sheathes her sword, leaving the room and you flat on your back until your breathing finally stabilizes.

It's a bit verbose, so I intend to write something which should be a tad nicer, but it should work for now. > In line two, how would I pull the name of a random baby under two years old? If players keep her pregnant, she could theoretically have three under two years old. You'll want to choose a kid beforehand. See the example `<<set>>` above. What it does is filter `$kids` for any that match the predicate—which is the same as used in the requires—then randomly selects one kid from the filtered set. ADDITIONAL NOTES: I don't like that we're running the predicate over the `$kids` twice—once in the requires and again in the passage—but it will suffice for now. As to your original code. As I've told you before, all kids are full `Character`s, so… use the API, Luke. * You should know by how to get a character's name from the API. I went with `.nickOrName` in the above. * Whyfore you slaughter pronouns so? * There are queries for a reason. Never do `.gender is "male"` when you can simply `.isMale`—ditto for `.isFemale`, `.isHerm`, etc. Living Room Lounge Servant Area

<<talk "player">>Bear with me here, I'll have you all cleaned up in just a couple of minutes.<</talk>>\ You tell _kid.him with a reassuring smile. Wasting no time, you quickly find a diaper and the wipes, every passing second seeming to drive _kid.nickOrName 's displeasure to new heights. Once you have everything you need, you reach into the crip and pull _kid.him out, sitting _kid.him on the floor and sitting yourself near his little feet. While still talking with the baby, you explain what you are doing as you do it. First you open up the diaper, sitting it off to the side as you explain that this way it not only is ready to go under _kid.his little butt, but that it can also be used as a shield in an emergency. Then you pull a pair of diaper wipes, explaining that the first will clean the bulk of the mess, and the second is actually for cleaning. _kid.nickOrName seems to hang on your every word, watching you without comprehension, but clearly focused on your voice and the warm tone you are using. <<talk "player">>Lets get started then.<</talk>>\ Taking both little feet in one hand, you lift to expose the bottons on _kid.his clothing which you deftly unfasten before pulling the clothes out of the way. Then you release _kid.his feet and pull the velcro straps free. Making a mock cringeing face, you take hold of the front of the diaper and use it to wipe away the worst of the mess. Then taking hold of both feet again you lift to expose _kid.his bottom while reaching for the wips to clean with. Once you're satisfied that everything is clean, you slide the clean diaper in place, release _kid.his feet, then fasten first the diaper, then the little outfit back in place. Throwing away the waste, you use one final wipe to clean your hands just to be thuro, then pick _kid.nickOrName up for a little hug. <<talk "player">>See, that wasn't so bad, was it?<</talk>>\ A minute later, the baby is back in the crib, clearly happy as _kid.he smiles and watches you, occasionally cooing as you finish cleaning up.

Seeing that little _kid.nickOrName looks to be alright, you softly hum a little tune until _kid.he settles back into a sound sleep before stepping away again.

Somewhere in the mansion, you can hear the sound of a baby crying. For just a second, you think about seeking the source of the cries, but then you hear foodsteps rapidly moving toward the sound from somewhere else rushing to provide whatever the little one needs.

There's a splash as you're entering the bathing room. Your eyes turn instantly toward the bathing pool in the middle of the room. There, at the edge of the pool is Eve, just pulling herself from the water and reaching for a towel she left nearby. You can see all of her, completely naked with water running down her body. Your eyes linger on her body for a second, taking in her curves. [[Make your exit before she notices you.|Eve Interactive Scene 10a]] [[Remain and watch her.|Eve Interactive Scene 10b]] [[Make your presence known.|Eve Interactive Scene 10c]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\

Not wanting to interrupt such a private moment, you take a half step back, turning toward the exit and opening the door carefully. You're careful to slip out of the room without making any noise, closing the door behind yourself. [[South Hall|southHall]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>><<movenpc "eve" "bathing room">>\

Standing just inside the door, you continue to watch Eve as she dries herself off. She's just finishing when she notices you standing there. <<if $eve.affection gte 850 and $eve.fear lte 300>>\ She looks surprised, but does not move to cover her nakedness from your sight.

Then she does a little dance, spinning in a circle before you, then half walks, half skips to her clothing where she gathers her things up. You want to say something in your defense, but you know that she is right. Instead, you remain silent as you continue watching her. Eve meets your eyes, then starts dressing herself slowly, making the innocent act of dressing herself somehow an erotic display. When she is finished, she does her best to look innocent, but that mischievous glint in her eye lingers. <<set $eve.affection += 1>>\ <<elseif $eve.affection gte 550 and $eve.fear lte 400>>\ She looks surprised, holding the towel in front of herself to conceal her naked body, though she makes no other move to hide herself from your gaze.

After a couple more seconds. <<talk "eve">>I'll get dressed and get out of your way.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>It's fine.<</talk>>\ You reply, watching her as she moves to her clothing and begins to dress herself.

Bathing Room

Entering the servant's area you see Eve sprawled across one of the two couches in the the simple room. The sound of a step creaking under your foot attracts her attention, her expression becoming a mixture of surprise and happiness. <<talk "eve">>Hi!<</talk>>\ She says quickly, then adds with a bit less excitement. <<talk "player">>My sister is off taking care of something right now and I'm bored.<</talk>>\ ''She states bluntly.'' <<talk "player">>Hi.<</talk>>\ You reply back, a slight smile on your face as her sense of wonder infects you.

<<talk "player">>Your sister is right, you should not ask anything of me. I already provide you with all you need, and you should be grateful for that.<</talk>>\ You reply coldly.

You pretend to think about your decision for a moment, then say. <<talk "player">>If you set up the board, I think I can find time to play one game.<</talk>>\ Eye's eyes widen in clear joy. <<talk "eve">>Really?<</talk>>\ But even as she utters the single word, she's already rushing off to collect the checker's board. A moment later she returns and begins to set up the table. You're already sitting on the couch opposite where she was sitting by the time she gets back. <<if $CheckersCoin is "Not Played">>\ She quickly places the checkers on the board, then turns the board so that the black checkers are facing toward you. You're surprised by the polished woodwork of the board, amazed that your Great Uncle would ever consider giving something of such obvious value to his slaves. You can't help but notice that the board is missing one red checker. <<talk "eve">>You're missing a checker.<</talk>>\ Eve makes an exasperated face. <<talk "eve">>We've looked for it, but we've never figured out where it went. I think our former master gave it to the servants ''because'' it was missing one piece.<</talk>>\ She pauses, then continues. <<talk "eve">>We just play with one less checker. Anna takes the red since its short the piece, and I play as black since I'm not as good at checkers. She says it gives me a ''little'' advantage.<</talk>>\ Her face scrunches up unhappily. <<talk "eve">>I think the 'little' is a joke about my size.<</talk>>\ You feel a hint of amusement at the comment. <<talk "player">>You can play as the black though, even if you're better at the game than I am.<</talk>>\ Before she can continue, you stand up suddenly from the couch. She looks alarmed, like she is afraid you are planning to leave, but you stave off any protest with a gesture. Reaching into your pocket, you fish around for a moment before finding what you were looking for. When you pull your hand out of your pocket, you're holding a shiny silver coin. Eve looks confused, that confusion only growing as you place the coin in the space that is missing a checker. <<talk "eve">>We'll pretend it's a checker so we can both have the same number of checkers.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes seem to light up, her confusion returning to joy. For the next half hour or more, the two of you play checkers. Through much of your playing, you can see Eve looking often at the coin on the table. You win most of the games, but Eve surprises you by making you work for those wins. <<talk "player">>Thank you for inviting me to play checkers with you. It was fun.<</talk>>\ You say, surprising yourself by meaning it. Standing up, you start to leave only to have Eve rush to catch up. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, here...<</talk>>\ She holds the coin you had placed on the checker board in both hands, offering it back to you. <<talk "player">>Keep it.<</talk>>\ You say, unconcerned about the coin. Eve's eyes widen, her gaze moving rapidly between the coin and your face. From her expression you would think you just gave her some priceless treasure. With no warning, Eve throws herself at you, her arms encircling your middle in a fierce hug. <<talk "eve">>Thank you.<</talk>>\ She mumbles against your chest. After a few seconds, she breaks the hug. In two steps, she skips back to the table and places the coin with the other checkers with exaggerated care. <<talk "thought">>Such a simple thing, but it made her day.<</talk>>\ <<set $CheckersCoin to "Played">><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 33 }>>\ <<else>>\ Eve quickly places the checkers on the board, you can see the coin you gave her to finish the set placed in the back row of her own checkers, sitting in the position that leaves it closest to herself. Her happiness proves infectious to you, a little smile dominating your lips while she bounces in her seat with barely restrained joy. The two of you play checkers for quite a while, talking occasionally but mostly just enjoying the game. You don't really pay much attention to who won the most games, but if Eve's grin is any indication, then it was probably a close thing. <<talk "eve">>Thank you for playing checkers with me again.<</talk>>\ ''Eve says, clearly happy.''

Servant Area

You're surprised to hear loud music coming from the lounge as you're walking down the hallway. Turning toward the door, you reach for the handle and open it. The music blares at you even louder than before. Taking a half step into the room, you see Eve on the other end of the room, half dancing, half prancing across the room as she swings her feather duster around with reckless abandon. All the while she is singing at the top of her lungs. <<talk "eve">>Comes along, you must whip it!<</talk>>\ She swings the feather duster like she's cracking a whip. <<talk "eve">>Before the cream sits out too long, you must whip it!<</talk>>\ Completely oblivious to your presence, she continues unhindered. <<talk "eve">>When something's going wrong, you must whip it!<</talk>>\ [[Reprimand her for her behavior.|Eve Interactive Scene 12a]] [[Leave her to her fun.|Eve Interactive Scene 12b]] [[Join her.|Eve Interactive Scene 12c]] <<addtime { minute : 1 }>>\

When she is able to turn it off, the resulting silence is nearly deafening. Even speaking softly, your voice carries clearly in the room. <<talk "eve">>I can indulge many things, but even I have my limits.<</talk>>\ You walk toward her slowly, menacingly. <<talk "player">>I don't mind you enjoying your work, but what I just witnessed is ''completely'' unacceptable.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>>\ <<talk "eve">>Sorry.<</talk>>\ Eve says in barely a whisper as you stop walking, your eyes cast downward at her while you tower over her. <<talk "player">>You must be punished for this behavior.<</talk>>\ You say softly.

You look over at Eve, her eyes moving from the closed door to you. Suddenly a grin breaks out on her face and she starts giggling so hard she can barely breathe. The laughter proves infectious and you quickly join her. When you finally get your laughter back under control, you sigh happily. <<talk "player">>I have things to do, and you still have chores to complete.<</talk>>\ <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>>\ Still grinning at you. <<talk "eve">>That was fun.<</talk>>\ She says.

Entering the hallway, you see Eve with a dust broom in hand. While this would not normally be any reason for concern, or even interest, in this particular case Eve is running down the hall at full speed as she pushes the dust broom in front of her. She reaches the far end of the hall, pivots and is heading back your direction in the blink of an eye. She makes it nearly a dozen steps back toward you before she notices you. Skidding to a halt, she offers a weak smile. <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>>\ [[Her behavior is unacceptable.|Eve Interactive Scene 13a]] [[Let it slide.|Eve Interactive Scene 13b]] [[Make light of the situation.|Eve Interactive Scene 13c]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\

Noticing the light on in the library, you step inside. You just start to reach for the light switch to turn it off when you notice Eve. She's sitting at the table, clearly having fallen asleep in the middle of whatever she was doing. When you step closer to her, you can see that she had been drawing something before falling asleep. You reach out, pulling the sheet of paper from beneath her cheek, careful not to wake her. Seeing that she had been drawing, you're momentarily impressed by the quality of her work. <<talk "thought">>She's got a real talent here.<</talk>>\ <<if $anna.affection gte 500 and $anna.fear lte 500 and $eve.affection gte 850>>\ Scrawled across the page is an image of an unusual wedding.

She's dressed in a long flowing wedding dress and clutching a bouquet of flowers before herself. The last figure is clearly Eve, standing opposite her sister and dressed in similar fashion. Though her dress is a bit frillier, and her bouquet clearly has at least one small unicorn at it's center and hearts mixed in between the flowers. <<talk "thought">>She wants to marry me?

For a second, you consider waking her up, but seeing her sleeping so peacefully you don't have the heart to wake her up. Instead, you gently scoop her up out of the chair and cradle her against your chest. She murmurs something unintelligible and snuggles just a little closer. <<if $eve.bed is 0>>\ Careful to let her sleep, you carry her from the library and start up the stairs toward the servant's area. Once to her bedroom, you shuffle her slightly in your arms, freeing up one hand so you can pull back her covers before laying her in the bed. You see her eyes crack open when you lay her down, but she doesn't say anything. Instead a faint smile forms on her lips before her eyes drift closed again. Pulling the covers over her, you tuck her in before stepping back, enjoying the content look on her face for a moment.

She turns toward you, blinking a couple of times as she tries to force her eyes to stay open. Then her eyes snap open, suddenly fully awake. She turns part way toward her drawing before stopping herself. Her eyes never leave your own, as if holding your gaze will somehow hide the fact that she's reaching out and pulling the drawing off of the table, hiding it behind her back. <<talk "eve">>You're right <<print $eve.callsPlayer>>, I should get to bed!<</talk>>\ Then with a burst of energy that stands in stark contrast to the fact she was asleep just seconds ago, she takes off at a run for the library door.

<<if not $EveCubby>>\ When you enter the servant's area, you see something that you have never noticed before. A small door, maybe 18 inches wide and just a little taller. The door itself isn't what draws your attention there though, it's the fact that the back half of Eve is sticking out of the opening that catches your eye. [[Ask her what she's up to.|Eve Interactive Scene 15a]] [[Leave her alone.|Eve Interactive Scene 15b]] [[See if you can make her jump.|Eve Interactive Scene 15c]] <<else>>\ Entering the servant's area, you notice the little cubby open again. Similar to last time, you can see the back half of Eve sticking out of the opening. You must make a noise though because you see her stop moving suddenly, then withdraw from the little opening quickly. When she sees you, you can see an all too innocent expression on her face. Looking over her, you can see dust smearing her face and in her hair, as well as clear signs of dust on her clothes.

It's no more than four foot deep, about half that wide, and not much taller than the door leading into it. You can see a ratty old blanket on the floor as well as a couple of small items toward the back, but without a light source inside, you can't really see much more than that. <<talk "player">>Your special place?<</talk>>\ You inquire, hoping she'll say more. She takes your hand, leaning in to you as she looks up into your eyes.

Servant's Area

There's a happy look on Eve's face as she carefully cleans the window with the rag in her hand. You do however notice that she seems a little distracted. As you near where she is standing, you glance past her out the window. In the back yard, you can see several birds in the lawn. Some of them are moving about the lawn, picking at the grass. Occasionally one or more of the birds will take flight or lands with the rest of the group. Eve watches them for a little while, then returns her full attention to cleaning the window once more.

West facing rooms.

There's a happy look on Eve's face as she carefully cleans the window with the rag in her hand. You do however notice that she seems a little distracted. As you near where she is standing, you glance past her out the window. In the front yard, you can see a pair of squirrels chasing each other across the driveway. From where you are standing, you can see Eve's eyes following the pair of furry critters with clear joy in her expression. Eve watches them for a little while, then returns her full attention to cleaning the window once more.

East facing rooms.

You come up short as you enter the kitchen area. Near the counter, you can see Eve with one hand in the fruit bowl. You aren't sure if you make a sound and she hears you, or if she simply senses your presence, but the result is the same either way. She turns your direction slowly, her eyes wide as she looks at you. Her gaze is intense, as if she is willing you to only meet her eyes. But your eyes are drawn to her chest in spite of her intensity. She is holding her top open with one hand, and in her other hand you see an orange. Her chest though, one breast is barely visible through her shirt as you are used to while the other has clearly grown significantly. <<talk "thought">>To about the size of an orange.<</talk>>\ You realize with amusement. <<talk "thought">>She's stuffing her shirt with oranges to make it look like she's got breasts.<</talk>>\ [[Chastise her for playing with the fruit.|Eve Interactive Scene 18a]] [[Pretend you see nothing.|Eve Interactive Scene 18b]] [[Laugh it off.|Eve Interactive Scene 18c]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>\

<<talk "player">>I'm reasonably certain that isn't what fruit is supposed to be used for.<</talk>>\ You can see her start to blush, her intense stare becoming defiant. <<talk "eve">>How else am I supposed to get you to look at me? I've seen you look at Anna's breasts.<</talk>>\ A heavy sigh escapes your lips. <<talk "player">>Put the fruit away.<</talk>>\ You begin, then add. <<talk "player">>But wash it first.<</talk>>\ You don't bother waiting for a reply. [[End.|$location]] <<set $eve.affection -= 1>><<set $eve.fear += 1>><<set $eve.trust -= 1>><<addtime { minute : 3 }>>\

You allow your gaze to be drawn back to her eyes. She doesn't say a word, her eyes simply boring into your own. Her movement is slow enough that you almost miss it. Her hand holding the orange moving inch by inch closer to her chest. When the orange nears her neckline, she pulls her top out a little further to give access. You get a flash of nipple before the orange is in the way as she slips it beneath her top. <<talk "thought">>It's a perfect match for the other breast now.<</talk>>\ With both hands, she adjusts her top, trying to make the oranges sit just right. A little smile creeps onto her lips. Then in her most innocent voice. <<talk "eve">>Was there something I can help you with?<</talk>>\ You can't help but notice the way she seems to thrust her chest toward you. Barely able to resist the urge to laugh, you reply. <<talk "player">>I'm good, thank you. Don't let me interrupt your chores.<</talk>>\ [[End.|$location]] <<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 4 }>>\

You can't help yourself. A soft chuckle escapes your lips that quickly becomes a full blown laugh. Across from you, Eve blushes crimson. You see her put the orange in her hand back in the fruit bowl. The start of tears forming in her eyes as she reaches for the other. <<talk "eve">>Don't judge me!<</talk>>\ The second orange joins the first in the fruit bowl right before Eve takes off at a full run. [[Try to make things right.|Eve Interactive Scene 18d]] [[Let her go.|Eve Interactive Scene 18e]] <<addtime { minute : 3 }>>\

<<talk "player">>Eve! Stop!<</talk>>\ Your voice is a clear command that stops her dead in her tracks. Her shoulders slump slightly just before she turns toward you. You can see tears in her eyes. You take a few steps toward her, kneeling at her side before you talk. <<talk "player">>Eve, I didn't mean to upset you by laughing at you. I laughed because you're adorable, and to be honest, the oranges //were// pretty funny.<</talk>>\ She pouts a little harder, a tear lazily following the curve of her nose. Reaching out, you brush the tear away with your fingers. <<talk "player">>You are precious, you are adorable, and you are one of my favorite people in the whole world.<</talk>>\ Eve takes a deep breath, holds it for a second, then lets it out slowly. <<talk "player">>You are more full of life than anyone I've ever met, and you make me laugh and make me smile because the joy that follows you everywhere is infectious.<</talk>>\ As you say the words, you can feel the truth of them like a physical thing around the two of you. <<talk "eve">>You didn't think I was just being silly?<</talk>>\ Eve asks, not quite meeting your eyes. <<talk "player">>Of course it was silly.<</talk>>\ You say lightly. <<talk "player">>But that's part of who you are, and I wouldn't want to change it for the world.<</talk>>\ Turning suddenly serious, you can see just a tiny uptick at the corner of her mouth to indicate she is trying to hide a smile. <<talk "eve">>You know that some girls are self conscious about their chest. The next girl you laugh at might not be as understanding as I am.<</talk>>\ You roll your eyes, a wry smile tugging at your lips. Eve embraces you suddenly, hugging you tightly before releasing her grip. <<talk "eve">>Made you look though.<</talk>>\ Then, before you can form the words to reply, she takes off again. This time she's out of sight before you can think to stop her. [[End.|$location]] <<addtime { minute : 4 }>><<set $eve.affection += 2>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>>\

When you enter the bathing room, the first thing you notice is that the lights are already on. You have just enough time to wonder who forgot to turn them off when you hear Eve let out a squeal of delight. You look toward the sound just in time to see a naked Eve burst from one of the alcoves the line the room, her body on full display as she sprints toward the small pool at the center of the room. She's almost there when she sees you. Her expression of glee becomes surprise in the blink of an eye, and what you expect was intended to be a cannonball into the pool becomes something entirely different. <<if $eve.affection gte 900 and $eve.fear lte 100>>\ There's a look of surprise in her eyes, and she misses a step. Her headlong rush toward the pool becomes a stumbling crash. Her hand hits the ground first, but her momentum carries her forward. From where you are standing, you can't tell for sure but it looks like she might have hit her hip on the way into the water. You spring into action, moving quickly to the pool side to help if she needs it. You've nearly reached her when she bursts out of the water, grasping the side of the pool in a way that puts her chest on full display. A motion that goes not go unnoticed by you. <<talk "player">>You ok?<</talk>>\ You ask, forcing your eyes up to her face. She grins, a little color touching her cheeks. <<talk "eve">>That wasn't very graceful, was it?<</talk>>\ ''Her tone is sheepish.'' <<talk "player">>No, it really wasn't. I thought you hurt yourself for a moment there.<</talk>>\ Her grin turns impish. <<talk "eve">>If I hurt something, would you kiss it?<</talk>>\ Your heart misses a beat in your chest as you realize that she's flirting with you. [[Yeah, I would kiss it.|Eve Interactive Scene 19a]] [[Somehow I think a spanking might be more appropriate.|Eve Interactive Scene 19b]] <<elseif $eve.affection gte 500 and $eve.fear lte 450>>\ There's a momentary flash of alarm in her eyes and you can see her miss a step.

From where you are standing, you can't tell for sure but it looks like she might have hit her hip on the way into the water. You spring into action, moving quickly to the pool side to help if she needs it. You've nearly reached her when she bursts out of the water, grasping the side of the pool as she does so. She pulls herself close to the side, resting low in the water like she's trying to hide. You can see her eyes looking at you just over the edge of the pool. <<talk "player">>Are you ok?<</talk>>\ You ask, honestly concerned. Her expression is pinched, through it's hard to tell if it's from pain or embarrassment. <<talk "eve">>I fell.<</talk>>\ ''She says glumly.'' <<talk "player">>I saw that.<</talk>>\ You reply, mildly amused by her stating the facts so simply. <<talk "player">>I was asking if you hurt yourself.<</talk>>\ You can see a smile touch her eyes, even though her lips are hidden below the edge of the pool. <<talk "eve">>Mostly just my ego.<</talk>>\ [[Insist she get out so you can make sure she's ok.|Eve Interactive Scene 19c]] [[Tell her to be more careful next time.|Eve Interactive Scene 19d]] [[Scold her.|Eve Interactive Scene 19e]] <<else>>\ You see alarm flash across her face. She stumbles as she misses a step, her hands at the same time instinctively moving to hide her body in an attempt at modesty. Her headlong rush toward the pool quickly turns into a stumbling crash. At the last possible second, her hand shielding her chest from your view reaches out to protect her from hitting the hard floor. But her efforts are only partially successful. You see her arm give and she hits the ground shoulder first. But that's far from the end of it. Her momentum carries her forward as she reaches the edge of the pool, head first she slides into the pool, you can see her feet flail comically before she slips fully into the pool. From where you are standing, you can't tell for sure if she was hurt falling or not. You spring into action, moving quickly to the side of the pool to help. As you reach the side of the pool, Eve breaks the surface, flailing as she does so. You quickly reach out, catching her by the upper arm and pulling her to you. As soon as she is within reach, you grasp her with your other hand and pull her from the water. <<talk "player">>You ok?<</talk>>\ You ask, worried for her even as the soaking wet naked girl in your arms soaks your clothing. <<talk "player">>That looked like it hurt.<</talk>>\ Eve coughs, makes a whining sound, then seems to pull in on herself somewhat. She caughs a second time, then looks up at you with a troubled expression. Her entire body feels rigid in your arms. <<talk "player">>Are you ok?<</talk>>\ You ask a second time. Sensing how intimate the situation would seem to anyone observing, you gently sit her down. Eve scrambles away from you just a little big, her eyes just a little too wide as she replies. <<talk "eve">>I'm fine. You surprised me is all.<</talk>>\ ''She blurts.'' You can see a red scrape on her shoulder, but it doesn't look serious.

She trembles slightly as she slips out of the water. Her eyes lock with yours and she seems suddenly unable to look away. <<talk "eve">>Maybe you should kiss me everywhere just to make sure you don't miss it.<</talk>>\ You can't help yourself, you laugh at the intensity from Eve. Her expression falters, looking more uncertain suddenly. In that second, she looks just like the scared little girl that she resembles. Leaning forward, your lips nearly reach hers when you are interrupted. <<talk "anna">>Eve?<</talk>>\ Anna's voice calls from the bathing room door. <<talk "anna">>Are you in there? I've told you before that you shouldn't bathe in here without permission from our master.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice drops off suddenly. At the same time, Eve's eyes widen and she sits up rigidly. <<talk "eve">>I tripped and fell into the bathing pool. He was just making sure I was ok.<</talk>>\ The way she rushes her words makes her sound like she's afraid she's about to get in trouble. You turn toward a surprised looking Anna. <<talk "player">>I saw the light on and I came in. Eve was surprised when I arrived and tripped. I wanted to make sure she was alright, and she was joking I should kiss her boo boos.<</talk>>\ Anna looks skeptical, her eyes passing between you and Eve before finally nodding. By the time you turn back toward Eve, she's nearly back to the alcove she had originally rushed from and is reaching for her clothes. <<talk "thought">>Looks like the moment has passed.<</talk>>\ You turn toward Anna again, seeing that she's already slipped from the room. Then you look back at Eve, she's just in the process of pulling her panties up into place. You sigh softly to yourself as you watch Eve dress herself. When she finishes, she notices you watching, smiles, then mutters. <<talk "eve">>I should go see what my sister wants.<</talk>>\ In a meek voice before currying past you and out the door.

You can see the water running down her body, her arms held stiffly in front of herself as she seems to try for some small bit of modesty. She waffles from foot to foot for a moment, then turns to return to the alcove she originally appeared from. Reaching out, you swat her on the ass hard enough to create a loud crack that echoes in the room. Eve cries out, horror in her features as her hands go to her bottom. <<talk "eve">>Owwwwwww...<</talk>>\ She says, tears beginning to tell up in her eyes. Her eyes meet yours for just a second before she scurries off toward the alcove she originally came from. By the time she reaches it, you can already see the outline of your hand print on her bottom.

Once out of the water, she clasps her hands in front of herself, offering herself a little modesty as she stands naked in front of you. For just a second, you watch the water run down her body, then give her a reassuring smile. When you look down toward her hip, you can see a red scrape across her hip. It's clearly not bad, but it does look like it could be just a little sore later. Reaching out you place your hand on her hip. She flinches just a little at the touch, but offers no resistance. <<talk "player">>It doesn't look bad,-<</talk>>\ <<talk "anna">>Eve?<</talk>>\ Anna's voice from the doorway cuts off anything further you were about to say. <<talk "anna">>Are you in there? I've told you before that you shouldn't bathe in here without permission from our master.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice drops off suddenly. At the same time, Eve's eyes widen and her body stiffens. <<talk "eve">>I tripped and fell into the bathing pool. He was just making sure I was ok.<</talk>>\ The way she rushes her words makes her sound like she's afraid she's about to get in trouble. You turn toward a surprised looking Anna. <<talk "player">>I saw the light on and I came in. Eve was surprised when I arrived and tripped. I wanted to make sure she was alright.<</talk>>\ You move enough that you can indicate the scraped hip. <<talk "player">>It doesn't look bad, but you might want to keep an eye on it.<</talk>>\ From the corner of your eye you can see Anna nod, her expression holding a hint of concern. <<talk "player">>Go get dressed, and make sure your sister checks it tomorrow to make sure it doesn't become infected.<</talk>>\ Turning toward Anna again, you add. <<talk "player">>I think a sore hip is punishment enough for using the room without permission, don't you think?<</talk>>\ Anna nods again, looking slightly relieved. As soon as Eve is dressed, she exits the room, a moment later Anna follows. [[End.|$location]] <<set $eve.fear -= 1>><<set $eve.trust += 1>><<addtime { minute : 5 }>>\

<<talk "player">>I was always told not to run near the pool. I imagine it was so I wouldn't do something just like what you did.<</talk>>\ You say lightly. <<talk "player">>Let's try to be more careful, alright?<</talk>>\ Eve smiles sheepishly. <<talk "eve">>Ok.<</talk>>\ She says softly. <<talk "eve">>Can I swim for a little while? Anna says I should always ask permission from you before doing something our former master wouldn't have let us do.<</talk>>\ You pretend to consider for a second, a comically thoughtful look on your face. <<talk "player">>I suppose, just this once.<</talk>>\ With a happy sound, Eve pushes off the side of the shallow pool toward the middle. <<talk "eve">>Thank you, I love the hot water in here, and I always feel like someone important when I get to swim in here.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>You do realize that this pool is for bathing, not swimming right?<</talk>>\ Before she can reply, you hear Anna's voice from the door. <<talk "anna">>Eve?<</talk>>\ Anna's voice from the doorway cuts off anything further you were about to say. <<talk "anna">>Are you in there? I've told you before that you shouldn't bathe in here without permission from our master.<</talk>>\ Anna's voice drops off suddenly when she notices you. A gentle splash from Eve pulls Anna's attention past you to her sister. Her expression pinching as she tries to make sense of the situation. <<talk "player">>I was just telling Eve that it's fine to use the bathing room pool, but that next time she might ask for permission //before// getting in.<</talk>>\ You share a look with Eve, relief clear on her face that you're letting her off the hook like this. Anna nods, accepting your words. You step back away from the pool, leaving Eve to bathe undisturbed.

<<talk "player">>''You'' need to be more careful.<</talk>>\ You begin. Her expression falling before your very eye. <<talk "player">>You could seriously hurt yourself. No running in here, and I'm pretty sure your sister would throw a fit if she knew you were using this room without permission.<</talk>>\ Eve is silent for several seconds. Her expression wavering between defiant and sufficiently crestfallen. When she finally replies it is in a sulky voice. <<talk "eve">>I'm sorry.<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Now get out of the pool, dry off and get dressed before I decide you need more than a verbal reprimand.<</talk>>\ You can see Eve sigh, but she does as you told her. Slipping from the water she pads across the room to the alcove she had come from, her wet feel slapping softly against the ground as she walks. When she starts to dry off, you turn to give her a bit of privacy before directing your attention elsewhere.

You sigh to yourself. <<talk "player">>Come here.<</talk>>\ Eve's lips compress into a thin line for a second as she fights back whatever she was going to say, then she complies. Reaching out, you place one hand on her shoulder in the hopes of both keeping her still and reassuring her. Your other hand comes up and lightly brushes the water away from the wound. She winces and looks away, but does not protest. You do notice however that her free arm is covering her chest from your view. <<talk "player">>This looks like it's going to be sore for a few days.<</talk>>\ You say softly as you see a hint of red welling up in the shallow scratches. <<talk "player">>And you're going to want to bandage it.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Ok.<</talk>>\ Eve says very softly, still not looking at you. <<talk "player">>You need to be more careful than that. This is not a room that you should be running in, not that you should be running anywhere in the house.<</talk>>\ Eve mumbles something that might be an agreement. Letting go of her shoulder, you give her a playful swat on the bottom. She jumps, looking surprised for a second before smirking. <<talk "eve">>What was that for?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>Letting yourself get hurt... Now go get dressed and take care of that shoulder.<</talk>>\ Eve nods, then quickly walks to the alcove she originally came from.

You sigh heavily. <<talk "player">>Alright, if you say you're alright, then you're alright. But make sure to keep it clean.<</talk>>\ She looks thankful that you aren't pushing the issue. <<talk "eve">>I will, I promise.<</talk>>\ There's an awkward silence that follows, a few seconds later she adds. <<talk "eve">>I'll go get dressed. Thanks for making sure I'm ok.<</talk>>\ She says, offering a faint smile before rushing off toward the alcove she had come from. You watch her for a moment, her bottom on full display as she makes her retreat. Before she reaches the alcove, you turn away, turning your attention to other things.

Takes place in Bathing room.

When you enter the ball room, you see Eve, twirling playfully across the room. The second she sees you, she skids to a halt. Her face lights up, one hand raising to wave. <<talk "eve">>Dance with me?<</talk>> She calls as she moves toward you. [[Accept.|Eve Interactive Scene 1a]] [[Decline.|Eve Interactive Scene 1b]] [[Punish Eve for being out of line.|Eve's Punishments]] <<addtime { minute : 2 }>>

<<talk "player">>Sure.<</talk>> You reply, offering her one hand. Even beams happily when she takes it, allowing you to sweep her up in a short dance, alternating between twirling her and holding her close for a couple of minutes. The entire ball room is filled with her delighted laughter. Finally, when you spin her one last time, you release her hand. <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>> She's a little breathless when she comes to a stop. <<talk "eve">>Thank you, that was fun.<</talk>> Eve says, for once not sounding like the little girl she resembles. <<talk "player">>It was.<</talk>> <<talk "eve">>Maybe we can do it again some time?<</talk>> She asks softly, her wistful smile lighting up her face. <<talk "player">>We'll see.<</talk>> You're only a little surprised when she steps forward again, her arms encircling you as her face presses against your chest. <<talk "thought">>I could rest my chin on her head if I wanted.<</talk>> <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>> You barely have time to return the hug before she breaks it. <<talk "eve">>I should go find Anna.<</talk>> The look she gives you when you meet her eyes is close to adoration. <<talk "eve">>She worries about me.<</talk>> Without another word, she takes off for the door to the ball room, presumably in search of her sister.

You see Eve with a dust rag in hand, humming playfully to herself as she cleans. She is doing her job, but she's obviously not entirely focused on her task either. When Eve sees you, her movements slow. The small smile on her face fading to worry. <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>> She quickly turns her attention back to her work, redoubling her efforts. For a few seconds, you watch her, debating on what you want to do.

You notice the light to your room on before you enter. When you step through the door, you see Eve sitting on the edge of the bed near the nightstand. She jerks as if she's physically struck when she sees you. Very quickly, she starts to move something behind herself as if she wants to hide it, but then she stops herself. You see her slump, her expression sad. <<talk "eve">>I...<</talk>>\ She seems at a loss for words, she holds the black book in front of her. <<talk "eve">>I was reading our former master's diary about Anna and me.<</talk>>\ Her voice has a distant, hollow tone to it.

<<talk "player">>You shouldn't be reading things like that.<</talk>>\ You say softly as you move to the side of the bed. You take the old diary and sit it back on the night stand. <<talk "player">>That's in the past.<</talk>>\ Eve looks at you, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. <<talk "eve">>I never knew it was so bad.<</talk>>\ The words are a statement, their tone hollow. <<talk "eve">>The things he did...<</talk>>\ Her voice cracks as she trails off. You sit on the bed beside her, slipping an arm around her middle in a little half hug. She leans into you, seeming to welcome the embrace. After a long silence, you speak. <<talk "player">>We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. And we can use what we learn to be better.<</talk>>\ Her voice comes like a whisper against your side. <<talk "eve">>The things he did to Anna were terrible, but the things he wanted to do, and to make her do, were worse.<</talk>>\ <<talk "thought">>How much of that diary did she read?<</talk>>\ You wonder, unable to find words to reply to what she said. <<talk "eve">><<print $eve.callsPlayer>>...<</talk>>\ Eve says, turning her head to yours to ensure she has your attention. <<talk "eve">>Anna loves you, and if you did those things to her, I think it would kill her.<</talk>>\ Her tone holds a kind of strength to it even as it seems devoid of emotion. <<talk "eve">>If you ever want to do those kinds of things to someone, do them to me instead. I don't want my sister to ever hurt like that again.<</talk>>\ You find yourself speechless even as you struggle to find words. It's nearly a minute before you can force sound past the lump in your throat to reply. <<talk "player">>You know I don't do things like that.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>I know.<</talk>>\ Eve replies, her eyes searching yours. <<talk "player">>Then why would you even offer something like that?<</talk>>\ You ask, still a little shocked at what she just said. <<talk "eve">>Because sometimes...<</talk>>\ She looks away, but you can still see her expression pinch. <<talk "eve">>... Sometimes people change.<</talk>>\ Eve stands suddenly, then throws her arms around your neck in a fierce hug. <<talk "eve">>Please never stop being our nice Master.<</talk>>\ Her tone is pleading. When she releases you, she gives you a weak smile, then hurries from the room before you can gather your thoughts enough to say anything. Instead, you remain on the bed, feeling heartache for what the girls endured before you met them.

<<talk "thought">>She never should have seen that. I hope she didn't read much of it.<</talk>>\ You say as you take a couple of steps toward her. Eve opens her mouth to say something, but you speak before she can do so. <<talk "player">>I think I saw some fresh chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen.<</talk>>\ Scowling at you. <<talk "eve">>This isn't something that you can just change the subject.<</talk>>\ She sounds indignant as she speaks. <<talk "player">>I know, but there's no changing the past. You can either let go of it and look to the future, or you can dwell on it and let it tear you apart. And I see cookies in your future.<</talk>>\ Eve's eyes narrow. <<talk "eve">>You think you're clever, don't you?<</talk>>\ <<talk "player">>I'd like to think so.<</talk>>\ <<talk "eve">>Don't expect me to leave any cookies for you,".<</talk>>\ She says, then gets up on the bed, leaving the diary where she was sitting. <<talk "player">>Be sure to save one for your sister at least.<</talk>>\ You call after her, but by the time the words have left your mouth, she's already out the bedroom door. Looking back at the diary, you pick it up, momentarily thinking about the horrors depicted within, then place it back on the night stand.

<<talk "player">>You have no business reading that.<</talk>>\ You say, stepping toward her and snatching the diary from her hand. <<talk "eve">>Why not?<</talk>>\ She replies angrily. <<talk "eve">>It's a record of the things he did to Anna, of the things he wanted to do to me, that makes it my business.<</talk>>\ Her voice is barely a growl at the end of it. <<talk "player">>No little girl should ever read something like that.<</talk>>\ Your own anger rising as you speak. <<talk "player">>It's in the past, and the sooner you can leave it //in// the past, the happier you'll be.<</talk>>\ You aren't sure what you said that upsets her, but if you had to guess it was calling her a 'little girl.' Eve's anger crumbles as her eyes well up with tears. She becomes flush, her whole body trembling. <<talk "eve">>You don't understand what we went through and you never can!<</talk>>\ Before you can stop her, Eve bolts for the door, running as fast as her feet can carry her. Even though you try shouting after her, it doesn't seem to have any effect. Part of you wants to chase after her, but you figure it would do more harm than good so you remain where you are. <<talk "thought">>Pretty sure I could have handled that better.<</talk>>\ You think to yourself as you reach for the discarded diary.

There's a clatter, followed by something falling further inside of the kitchen. Your head whips around toward the sound, only to find Eve looking back, her eyes just a little too wide and a package of cookies in her hand. Her eyes are full of mischief as she quickly searches for an escape. <<talk "eve">>You won't take me alive!<</talk>>\ She shrieks at you. Then in the very next second, she dives over the center island in the kitchen, knocking several more items down in the process, and hits the ground running on the other side. If you weren't so surprised by her outburst, you'd have been able to stop her, but instead you find yourself standing in the kitchen, pots and pans still settling on the floor as Eve crashes through the kitchen door in her headlong attempt at escape.

Feeling a thrill go through you, you run after her, crashing through the door to the dining hall just in time to see Eve vanishing into the entry hall. She somehow manages to scream and laugh at the same time. Following the sound of her voice, you run after her. It's like a game of cat and mouse, Eve scrambling to stay ahead of you while you slowly gain on her. When you enter the lounge, you're only a couple of paces behind her. She spins, skidding to a halt near the corner of the room. It only takes a subtle step to fully block her escape. You see her eyes dart one way then the other before she strikes a casual pose. She meets your eyes as she pulls a cookie from the package and stuffs it in her mouth. <<includeevent setup.events.eveMansionWorkInserts>> <<talk "eve">>You've cornered me.<</talk>>\ Crumbs fall from her mouth as she talks around a mouth full of cookie. <<talk "eve">>Now what?<</talk>>\ [[Serious response.|Eve Interactive Scene 21c]] [[Playful response.|Eve Interactive Scene 21d]] <<addtime { minute : 5 }>><<set $eve.affection += 1>><<set $eve.fear -= 1>>\
