LORD OF THE WINGS
AN EPIC (AND SEXY) JOURNEY
【 Once upon a time, in a magical land far, far away...
The Lord of the Wings, a massive dragon with no equal, demanded a bride tribute from all of the kingdoms across the continent. Every month each province was required to send their most beautiful men and women to become the dragon's next bride(s). Ever greedy, the dragon was not satisfied with having one bride. Not with twelve brides, nor two hundred brides. The dragon always demanded more. The number of hot people around to bang dwindled. Things were looking grim.
Soon, a group of brave warriors gathered to travel the lands and slay this dragon. They enjoyed adventures of fucking their way through sirens, fucking their way though the faeries, and fucking their way through the mage school and beastmen tribes. They reached the dragon's crystal lair where the dragon, who took beautiful humanoid form, approached them.
The dragon promised that if any warrior could satisfy them sexually, they would return all of the brides to their homes. Each warrior took a turn trying to satisfy the dragon — but only with their efforts combined in one massive orgy was the dragon finally satisfied.
All of the brides were released and the warriors moved into the crystal lair to live a loving polyamorous relationship with the dragon. All was well. The end. 】
STAR WARBLERS
A THRILLING (AND SEXY) SPACE OPERA
【 Once upon a time, in a galaxy, far away...
The Palm Warblers and the Pine Warblers, two different legions of the massive Warbler fleet, began to battle. Whenever their ships would meet in space they would fight with the winner taking prisoners of war. After one such battle, a captured Captain of the Palm Warbler legion held in prison met a Lieutenant of the Pine Warbler tribe. After some rivalry, the two fell deeply in love.
They had a ton of kinky prison sex. However, the two were not satisfied with fucking between prison bars. They wanted to properly marry. But how could they with their two legions at war?
They each gathered friends and more sex was had between all. More matches between the Palms and the Pines happened, leading to even more kinky space sex. Bolstered by friendship and newfound fetishes, they gripped their laser guns and seized the science lab where some important keystone gemstone was being examined and researched by space scientists. This stone was very important for the future breeding of the Warbler race.
By holding the lab hostage, the ship's Commander put down their weapons and handed over the keys. The Palm Captain and the Pine Lieutenant held hands as they steered the ship off to find a new planet where they could live in peace together. The war between the two tribes ended because of good sex. All was well. The end. 】

[The only reason anyone would care about such a "scandal" is because it concerns a royalty card. "Affairs" and encounters in the dark are what this place runs on, after all. But the paparazzi need to make a buck somehow!
Silly though his dialogue was, he still acted his heart out. Which is why he gets somewhat huffy as the camera continues to focus on his butt, prompting her to make a butt joke. Not at her, mind you. He's mad, as always, at the indignity of it all!
Though given that he's had more upsetting things happen recently, well... he truthfully doesn't care too much. He just likes to kick up a fuss.]
Tell them that too, if you must! I don't care how many parts they lose.
[At least the cameraperson for this scene was an equal-opportunity lech. As Hiyori's scene partner responds to him, urging him to lay down his laser gun and choose peace, the camera shifts focus to zoom in on their butt. Then when Hiyori responds with the appropriate amount of suspicion ("You just want to claim the egg yourself and win eternal glory!"), the camera goes back to his butt! It's a confrontation between two butts!
So, for as much as Hiyori likes admiring himself, he's done watching for now. He'll talk to his moviegoing date! Even if it's bad manners to talk in a movie theater, he doesn't care much!]
What was your film like? Surely they wouldn't cast someone like you as just an extra, would they?
( unfortunately for reira, such a thing flew right past her head. she truly needed her assistant or handler here, though given the nature of the resort, it was probably for the best that she faced this alone. still what didn't escape her that perhaps he was feeling just a bit miffed about his acting being the least important part of this film— after spending some time with him, she could sense they were similar in some regards. reira most certainly would be upset if her efforts were wasted by the focus on her good looks. )
Okay, just for you I'll do it.
( if she can actually figure out who to complain to and who would actually listen to her. for now it's the best she can do to assure him because while they weren't that close to each other, she quite enjoyed his company and his energy. his singing and the song he showed her certainly won her over easily after all.
as for his next question.... )
Oh um no they actually wanted to cast me as either a lifeguard like that one show, you know with the red swimsuits? Or a cheesy 80's gym instructor.....can you guess which one I went with?
( her jovial mood was slightly replaced by a wave of embarrassment because regardless of what she picked, she was bouncing around far too much. )
[He's happy less because he believes her complaining will make a difference and more because it's nice to have someone empathize with his own griping.
As for her response to his question... she did say they barely got any good shots of her in her own film, which would imply they didn't cast her as the lead. Or that the camera crew was just that incompetent, like the crew behind his own film. Or butt-obsessed. Or both! But she gives him a question of her own to ponder, which he does for a moment.]
Hmm...
[It's possible he doesn't know her well enough to answer, but he gives it a shot!]
I'll guess the first one. I know that's what I'd choose, since being a gym teacher involves getting all sweaty. A lifeguard can sit back, relax, and look good, unless someone's drowning. Or at least that's how it should be, but I don't know if they had other things in store for that role.
[Other obscene things. That's usually a given with this place.]
( unfortunately for them both, she had been painfully casted as the latter given her more generous features being suitable for bouncing around and being coated in sweat. she didn't want to divulge too much of the more lewd and sorted details to him given he was one of the few acquaintances she had that she hadn't slept with, but given her facial expression slowly turning to one of grimace...
well he could surely guess what the real answer here was. )
I made a mistake about complaining about not wanting to get a tan and I got shoved into being a gym instructor. I actually thought it might be a better choice so that's why I went with it but.....
well if you do end up watching my film, you'll see what I mean about them not getting my good angles....
( to reira, her face and beautiful hair were high value points. to the resort and the sleezy directors they had running around, her breasts bouncing all over the place as she worked out was the money shot worth filming and focusing on.
in fact they missed just how great her butt had looked in that outfit; but again she's not sharing that with him. )
Doesn't matter anyway, it's all just too silly to care about....I'm certainly not getting entertained too hard or let alone aroused by any of this.
And that's when you bring an umbrella. Or have someone follow you around holding one, since you're a Queen! ♪
[He says in response to the thing about getting a tan.
That grimace she's wearing, though... It does make him morbidly curious. Somehow he doubts it was just the jumping-around-and-getting-sweaty part that she objected to. Given some of the things he saw on other sets and personally experienced on the Lord of the Wings one, he knows full well how her movie could have turned out; what kind of "performance" they may have expected from her.
Still, she says the whole thing was "too silly to care about," so whatever indignities she suffered don't seem to have scarred her, anyway.]
I know exactly what you mean.
[And he leaves it at that. He won't pry! Instead, he casts his hand around in the swag bag for something to eat, while proposing a new and exciting idea.]
That's why I think we'd be better off making our own movie. Not the direct-to-video kind, but something like a concert film. That'd be fun, wouldn't it?
You know, Nami also said something about commanding the staff around more but I don't know....
( something like that took effort and she was above all things, someone who relied on others so much, she allowed others back home to make those commands and requests for her. being here in this strange resort was forcing her to become more independent and to learn how to ask for things for herself— and undo the years of coddling she had back there. it wasn't like she wasn't listening, in fact she was working very hard to do more things for herself and learn how to ask without expecting people to read her mind.
so while it seemed like silly banter between the two, she was making mental notes to start doing those things and taking all the advice given to her. after all this was a girl who ran around in sexy costumes for the first month she was here because she didn't realize she could or had to go shopping for normal clothes. )
I guess I should start doing it, especially since I've been behaving and complying with this place~♡
( but as she said that, there was a twinge of nervousness that crossed her expression as she remembered the warnings hiyori gave her. she wasn't nerve-wrecked or afraid to have sex with others; sure she preferred to do it with people she knew and had come to care for, but as someone who went out of her way to hire a sex worker back home, she had no hang-ups about the act itself. what terrified her was facing punishment and being forced to suffer, after all she had been coddled and sheltered all of her life and outside of her own personal hardships during childhood, things had gone smoothly.
being forced to be stripped naked and punished before people who had come to like her, possibly twisting their view on her? now that was a terrifying thought. )
Oh?
( for now though she's quite grateful for the distraction. )
With this going on I missed the window to put the concert on didn't I? But I've recruited new people for our efforts. Are you saying we should record our concert and broadcast it? I've gotten better at asking the staff for stuff, if I lie and say our music is an aphrodisiac, I'm sure they'll set up a whole production just to film us!
She'd know all about that. But you're not the bossy type yourself, hmm?
[He looks at her curiously, an easy smile on his lips and a lack of judgment in his voice. There are all sorts of reasons someone might be uncomfortable bossing the staff around. They might be too shy or too gentle, for one. Though as a popular music star, you'd think she'd be used to ordering assistants and managers and the like. Perhaps it's due to the rank system; she earned her success back home, but here they're treated like trash or royalty based on their arbitrary "card" assignment. And that feels wrong, doesn't it?
But she might as well take advantage. Queen or no, she's still a prisoner here, and she has the right to make life more bearable for herself. That's his opinion anyway, and it seems she comes around to the same viewpoint eventually, saying she'll start doing it. So far, she says, she's been compliant. A well-behaved girl. Which means the opposite of what it would for a celebrity back home; it means playing the 52 game, right?
That's none of his business. He certainly won't discourage her. But he does say, casually:]
I'm not saying you should act too wild, but it never hurts to give them some trouble. Pretty-faced stars like us can get away with a lot~♪
[And they deserve all that and more. The House does, that is. They're lucky their unwilling guests don't cause more trouble...
Ah, but he catches that twinge in her expression, and he recalls their other conversation. That's why she's worried about stepping a toe out of line, isn't it? It's nothing to feel guilty about—he's just the messenger. He warned her because she asked and he didn't want to hide things. But he feels his heart sink, anyway. For someone whose job is to spread cheer, he frequently finds himself doing the opposite.
Which is why he hopes his concert talk will distract her. And if that fails, then perhaps something from the bag!
... though not the suspiciously-shaped thing his hand just grazed. For now he'll pass on over that thing.]
You haven't missed any window. We've got nothing but time here. And with summer coming up, we could always do a summer concert, like the mini one I gave on the beach last year. Broadcast or no broadcast, that might be just the thing we need to lift everyone's spirits~♪
[And then he withdraws the box of chocolates from the goodie bag, sliding off the lid and then holding it out to her.]
Want one? I was worried they'd be spiked, but I've seen other people eating them and no one seems to be acting like dogs in heat yet.
[Yet. With the toys in the goodie bag and the challenge, give it time!]
you're so good, I'm technically on hiatus anyways ♡
( it was more like she just expected things to happen without having to actually ask for it. still she's not going to correct him beyond just that subtle little comment as he went on to explain things for her. )
But you might be right, a while back I accidentally knocked over a table of perfumes and no bill was sent to me, not even a reprimand!
( despite that idle little faulter in her gaze, it never did suit reira to linger in those kinds of dark thoughts, fears, and emotions for very long. instead of sulking in that stress his revelations brought about, she had indirectly focused on helping those around her or simply reflecting on the time she had spent here and how she could avoid consuming tainted food. it wasn't that she actually had any qualms about taking aphrodisiacs, but there was a difference between willingly consuming them and unwittingly being aroused and sleeping with the first person she saw because of them.
still as he shifted the conversation onto the concert, she took full advantage to discuss that. anything to take her mind off their predicament, to help her forget they were in a resort hell bent on making them all play the game by any means. )
Well—
( that's what she thought before remembering any of them could turn into statues at any given time. she won't bring it up though, instead she simply smiled at him and nodded as if she agreed. )
I really hope so, I've been working really hard to get all the instruments we might need for this little endeavor. I've actually began to write a few things but we can perform anything you write too, you know? This is just as much my project as it is yours with all the help you've given me.
( really she'd be lost without him— but in the meantime she reached for the chocolate without thinking about it being spiked and ate it rather quickly. )
Thank you, if I do end up acting like one, promise you'll forgive me?
[A low-rank surely would've been reprimanded and made to pay up. But there's no reason for her to feel badly about that when it's not her fault.
He leans closer, still ignoring the goings-on onscreen (it's cut away from the laser duel to some other poor actor running away screaming from one of the fuck machine "torture bots"), eyes sparking with interest as she talks about the concert.]
Sounds like you've been hard at work recruiting musicians!
[If she's already having trouble finding instruments for all of them.]
That, or everyone wanted to work with you because of your natural charm...♪ Is one of the musicians Till-kun, by any chance?
[He tried to send Till in Reira's direction at one point. The boy was understandably awkward about approaching a stranger for help obtaining a guitar, though. As for the product of writing a song...]
I don't know much about composing, unfortunately. But if you'd like help writing lyrics, then I could contribute there. I don't do that too often either, but when I do, I have fun!
[He blinks at her response to the chocolate thing and then smiles laughs, plucking one out of the box for himself.]
Yep, I promise! Or rather, I'm the one who offered, so I'll take full responsibility!
I haven't heard from someone with that name just yet, but I'm sure I'll meet them eventually.
( and eventually they did, far later on down the line of course. for now though she simply found herself moving closer to hiyori, trying her best to keep all thoughts and emotions light for now, nodding at his offer for more help and genuinely feeling useful for once. it was strange how it took being brought to a resort with such a heavy focus on sex for her to finally make friends outside of her band, to make connections and find purpose for herself.
even if hiyori had brought the dark parts of this place into her mind, it was best to just ignore it for now and focus on the good. even if such blind willingness brought about negative consequences to reira— such as consuming the chocolate without any kind of hesitation, knowing full well that it could have been laced with aphrodisiacs, slow acting or not. )
I wanted you to write at least one of the songs actually, I mean you've been helping me so much with this....with everything, it's the least I can do for you.
( aside from complaining to the staff on his behalf but for now that's what she was focusing on before she turned towards the screen and got closer to him, even wrapping an arm around his. )
Sucks about the film though, at least you have a cute butt?
( a compliment of sorts, not that she was really paying attention; at least not right now. however as the decadent sweet she consumed worked its way through her system, she found herself slowly starting to pay more and more attention to the screen, a light blush fluttering against her face as time went on. )
For me, hmm~? I'd see it as more of a gift to you. And to our audience, of course. Bu I do appreciate you giving me the chance to express myself. Just let me know what sort of theme you're going for.
[Songwriting is effort. He's truthfully not that experienced. And part of him is worried how his song will turn out. Unlike at home, he's experienced real romance here and mutual requited love, which could fuel his songwriting. But he's also felt lots of despair. More than he ever would have back home. Facing the possibility that there's no way out—that he'll turn to stone, and that Rinne and Leo may never come back from being statues themselves—has been hard on him. It's really because of his partner and his friends that he hasn't given into despair completely.
And, well. Speaking of his partner.
First she tells him he has a cute butt! Which isn't one of the usual compliments he receives, but he does say...]
Right, every part of me is cute! ♪
[... and decide to roll with it. There's no point getting offended.
Or embarrassed, since the focus on his butt is over (for now). Instead the camera is showcasing another actor's humiliation, as one of the palm warblers gets cornered by one of those torture bots. Strapped to a chair inside the ship's torture chamber, his eyes widen with horny horror as the bot sprays him with a Clothes-Dissolving Mist, which does exactly what it says it does. Now vulnerable, he can only tremble as the bot approaches, a dildo strapped to one robotic hand and a pussy pocket brandished in the other.
This is about the part where Hiyori should get up and leave. It's not like he wants to watch this unpleasant scene play out, which would normally fill him with disgust. But he's starting to feel... different.
Is it getting hot in this movie theater?
He looks away from the screen and at Reira when she asks that question about his partner. A normal, perfectly innocent question, but there's something a little off about her tone. She sounds sort of... well... woozy. Looks it, too. Maybe she was daydrinking in her suite before she came here? He remembers how she went straight for the whiskey last time!
Or maybe she's just embarrassed by what's happening onscreen. That would be understandable.]
That I do! My beloved partner from home. He's still a bit clumsy, but he's a hard-working good boy.
[His voice is its usual cheerful chirp, but it sounds a tad higher and ever-so-slightly strained compared to usual. He still feels a bit hot, what's happening onscreen is just obscene, and the vibe right now feels very... well...]
Sorry about the turn that took.
[He says, talking about the film. Surely that's the only source of weirdness here.]
If you need me to hide your eyes from what's onscreen, just say the word and I'll do it. You can also look at my face instead!
( there's something almost strange and moving about hearing him mention that it was a gift for her of all people. despite her beauty, talents, and overall features that many would envy, she didn't always view herself as being thought of in such a manner. being held in a suspended state by the bassist of her band back home led to such feelings— unrequited love yet so close to the one she wanted. those feelings had long subsided by now, but the damage remained. )
A gift for me? You don't have to do anything for someone like me but if I had to pick a theme....perhaps new friendship to welcome our guests properly.
( and in a display rarely seen by hiyori who wasn't constantly by reira's side to see it, she shyly began to rub her arm, a soft blush creeping on her face. it was becoming far more and more clear that the effects of the chocolate were slowly starting to seep deep within her but it also seemed to induce a sort of mental block.
his idle warning about it from before felt so far away from her now, a hazy little vision about how what she was feeling could be the result of such food. yet she kept her focus on the screen, only growing more antsy as time went on, her thighs pressing against each other as a small amount of wetness seemed to grow between them. was this...what was happening to her? she couldn't possibly be aroused by what was on screen, could she?
yet as he spoke and offered such an escape from such views, she immediately turned her face towards him and stared at him gently before speaking out— )
Oh that's good and um....your face...
('was he always this cute?', she thought. she wasn't the kind of woman to have qualms about sleeping with someone taken, and much less someone so youthful looking as hiyori but wasn't he her precious friend? why was she suddenly so attracted to him?
it was hard to say but in between a small trickle of nervous sweat that seemed to trail down the side of her face, and her ever growing arousal, reira finally spoke up, the words escaping her mindlessly. )
You have a really cute face, I could stare at it forever instead of the film....your lips....they look really soft too.
no subject
Silly though his dialogue was, he still acted his heart out. Which is why he gets somewhat huffy as the camera continues to focus on his butt, prompting her to make a butt joke. Not at her, mind you. He's mad, as always, at the indignity of it all!
Though given that he's had more upsetting things happen recently, well... he truthfully doesn't care too much. He just likes to kick up a fuss.]
Tell them that too, if you must! I don't care how many parts they lose.
[At least the cameraperson for this scene was an equal-opportunity lech. As Hiyori's scene partner responds to him, urging him to lay down his laser gun and choose peace, the camera shifts focus to zoom in on their butt. Then when Hiyori responds with the appropriate amount of suspicion ("You just want to claim the egg yourself and win eternal glory!"), the camera goes back to his butt! It's a confrontation between two butts!
So, for as much as Hiyori likes admiring himself, he's done watching for now. He'll talk to his moviegoing date! Even if it's bad manners to talk in a movie theater, he doesn't care much!]
What was your film like? Surely they wouldn't cast someone like you as just an extra, would they?

[He looks at her curiously, an easy smile on his lips and a lack of judgment in his voice. There are all sorts of reasons someone might be uncomfortable bossing the staff around. They might be too shy or too gentle, for one. Though as a popular music star, you'd think she'd be used to ordering assistants and managers and the like. Perhaps it's due to the rank system; she earned her success back home, but here they're treated like trash or royalty based on their arbitrary "card" assignment. And that feels wrong, doesn't it?
But she might as well take advantage. Queen or no, she's still a prisoner here, and she has the right to make life more bearable for herself. That's his opinion anyway, and it seems she comes around to the same viewpoint eventually, saying she'll start doing it. So far, she says, she's been compliant. A well-behaved girl. Which means the opposite of what it would for a celebrity back home; it means playing the 52 game, right?
That's none of his business. He certainly won't discourage her. But he does say, casually:]
I'm not saying you should act too wild, but it never hurts to give them some trouble. Pretty-faced stars like us can get away with a lot~♪
[And they deserve all that and more. The House does, that is. They're lucky their unwilling guests don't cause more trouble...
Ah, but he catches that twinge in her expression, and he recalls their other conversation. That's why she's worried about stepping a toe out of line, isn't it? It's nothing to feel guilty about—he's just the messenger. He warned her because she asked and he didn't want to hide things. But he feels his heart sink, anyway. For someone whose job is to spread cheer, he frequently finds himself doing the opposite.
Which is why he hopes his concert talk will distract her. And if that fails, then perhaps something from the bag!
... though not the suspiciously-shaped thing his hand just grazed. For now he'll pass on over that thing.]
You haven't missed any window. We've got nothing but time here. And with summer coming up, we could always do a summer concert, like the mini one I gave on the beach last year. Broadcast or no broadcast, that might be just the thing we need to lift everyone's spirits~♪
[And then he withdraws the box of chocolates from the goodie bag, sliding off the lid and then holding it out to her.]
Want one? I was worried they'd be spiked, but I've seen other people eating them and no one seems to be acting like dogs in heat yet.
[Yet. With the toys in the goodie bag and the challenge, give it time!]
you're so good, I'm technically on hiatus anyways ♡
( it was more like she just expected things to happen without having to actually ask for it. still she's not going to correct him beyond just that subtle little comment as he went on to explain things for her. )
But you might be right, a while back I accidentally knocked over a table of perfumes and no bill was sent to me, not even a reprimand!
( despite that idle little faulter in her gaze, it never did suit reira to linger in those kinds of dark thoughts, fears, and emotions for very long. instead of sulking in that stress his revelations brought about, she had indirectly focused on helping those around her or simply reflecting on the time she had spent here and how she could avoid consuming tainted food. it wasn't that she actually had any qualms about taking aphrodisiacs, but there was a difference between willingly consuming them and unwittingly being aroused and sleeping with the first person she saw because of them.
still as he shifted the conversation onto the concert, she took full advantage to discuss that. anything to take her mind off their predicament, to help her forget they were in a resort hell bent on making them all play the game by any means. )
Well—
( that's what she thought before remembering any of them could turn into statues at any given time. she won't bring it up though, instead she simply smiled at him and nodded as if she agreed. )
I really hope so, I've been working really hard to get all the instruments we might need for this little endeavor. I've actually began to write a few things but we can perform anything you write too, you know? This is just as much my project as it is yours with all the help you've given me.
( really she'd be lost without him— but in the meantime she reached for the chocolate without thinking about it being spiked and ate it rather quickly. )
Thank you, if I do end up acting like one, promise you'll forgive me?

[A low-rank surely would've been reprimanded and made to pay up. But there's no reason for her to feel badly about that when it's not her fault.
He leans closer, still ignoring the goings-on onscreen (it's cut away from the laser duel to some other poor actor running away screaming from one of the fuck machine "torture bots"), eyes sparking with interest as she talks about the concert.]
Sounds like you've been hard at work recruiting musicians!
[If she's already having trouble finding instruments for all of them.]
That, or everyone wanted to work with you because of your natural charm...♪ Is one of the musicians Till-kun, by any chance?
[He tried to send Till in Reira's direction at one point. The boy was understandably awkward about approaching a stranger for help obtaining a guitar, though. As for the product of writing a song...]
I don't know much about composing, unfortunately. But if you'd like help writing lyrics, then I could contribute there. I don't do that too often either, but when I do, I have fun!
[He blinks at her response to the chocolate thing and then smiles laughs, plucking one out of the box for himself.]
Yep, I promise! Or rather, I'm the one who offered, so I'll take full responsibility!
[Just what does that entail...? Who knows.]
no subject
( and eventually they did, far later on down the line of course. for now though she simply found herself moving closer to hiyori, trying her best to keep all thoughts and emotions light for now, nodding at his offer for more help and genuinely feeling useful for once. it was strange how it took being brought to a resort with such a heavy focus on sex for her to finally make friends outside of her band, to make connections and find purpose for herself.
even if hiyori had brought the dark parts of this place into her mind, it was best to just ignore it for now and focus on the good. even if such blind willingness brought about negative consequences to reira— such as consuming the chocolate without any kind of hesitation, knowing full well that it could have been laced with aphrodisiacs, slow acting or not. )
I wanted you to write at least one of the songs actually, I mean you've been helping me so much with this....with everything, it's the least I can do for you.
( aside from complaining to the staff on his behalf but for now that's what she was focusing on before she turned towards the screen and got closer to him, even wrapping an arm around his. )
Sucks about the film though, at least you have a cute butt?
( a compliment of sorts, not that she was really paying attention; at least not right now. however as the decadent sweet she consumed worked its way through her system, she found herself slowly starting to pay more and more attention to the screen, a light blush fluttering against her face as time went on. )
So....you said you had a partner here right?
no subject
[Songwriting is effort. He's truthfully not that experienced. And part of him is worried how his song will turn out. Unlike at home, he's experienced real romance here and mutual requited love, which could fuel his songwriting. But he's also felt lots of despair. More than he ever would have back home. Facing the possibility that there's no way out—that he'll turn to stone, and that Rinne and Leo may never come back from being statues themselves—has been hard on him. It's really because of his partner and his friends that he hasn't given into despair completely.
And, well. Speaking of his partner.
First she tells him he has a cute butt! Which isn't one of the usual compliments he receives, but he does say...]
Right, every part of me is cute! ♪
[... and decide to roll with it. There's no point getting offended.
Or embarrassed, since the focus on his butt is over (for now). Instead the camera is showcasing another actor's humiliation, as one of the palm warblers gets cornered by one of those torture bots. Strapped to a chair inside the ship's torture chamber, his eyes widen with horny horror as the bot sprays him with a Clothes-Dissolving Mist, which does exactly what it says it does. Now vulnerable, he can only tremble as the bot approaches, a dildo strapped to one robotic hand and a pussy pocket brandished in the other.
This is about the part where Hiyori should get up and leave. It's not like he wants to watch this unpleasant scene play out, which would normally fill him with disgust. But he's starting to feel... different.
Is it getting hot in this movie theater?
He looks away from the screen and at Reira when she asks that question about his partner. A normal, perfectly innocent question, but there's something a little off about her tone. She sounds sort of... well... woozy. Looks it, too. Maybe she was daydrinking in her suite before she came here? He remembers how she went straight for the whiskey last time!
Or maybe she's just embarrassed by what's happening onscreen. That would be understandable.]
That I do! My beloved partner from home. He's still a bit clumsy, but he's a hard-working good boy.
[His voice is its usual cheerful chirp, but it sounds a tad higher and ever-so-slightly strained compared to usual. He still feels a bit hot, what's happening onscreen is just obscene, and the vibe right now feels very... well...]
Sorry about the turn that took.
[He says, talking about the film. Surely that's the only source of weirdness here.]
If you need me to hide your eyes from what's onscreen, just say the word and I'll do it. You can also look at my face instead!
no subject
A gift for me? You don't have to do anything for someone like me but if I had to pick a theme....perhaps new friendship to welcome our guests properly.
( and in a display rarely seen by hiyori who wasn't constantly by reira's side to see it, she shyly began to rub her arm, a soft blush creeping on her face. it was becoming far more and more clear that the effects of the chocolate were slowly starting to seep deep within her but it also seemed to induce a sort of mental block.
his idle warning about it from before felt so far away from her now, a hazy little vision about how what she was feeling could be the result of such food. yet she kept her focus on the screen, only growing more antsy as time went on, her thighs pressing against each other as a small amount of wetness seemed to grow between them. was this...what was happening to her? she couldn't possibly be aroused by what was on screen, could she?
yet as he spoke and offered such an escape from such views, she immediately turned her face towards him and stared at him gently before speaking out— )
Oh that's good and um....your face...
( 'was he always this cute?', she thought. she wasn't the kind of woman to have qualms about sleeping with someone taken, and much less someone so youthful looking as hiyori but wasn't he her precious friend? why was she suddenly so attracted to him?
it was hard to say but in between a small trickle of nervous sweat that seemed to trail down the side of her face, and her ever growing arousal, reira finally spoke up, the words escaping her mindlessly. )
You have a really cute face, I could stare at it forever instead of the film....your lips....they look really soft too.
