Alide and Dahlia Tune In To Regularly Scheduled Programming

"Do you see this? Do you fucking see this?" Alide says angrily pointing to the screen, currently open to a page of Marcie and Gina reading more of the Tower of Voices.

"I see it! I am equally outraged," Dahlia responds.

"How dare she!?" Alide continues huffing angrily.

"I'm not sure what we're so mad at, it wasn't really a negative response. It was kind of flattering actually," Yulia states.

"Gah wh-" Alide yelps, startled, "Oh right I forgot you were here for the original response so it makes sense you're here again..." Alide says calming down.

"Yulia you misunderstand, we're not mad about what Marcie and Gina said... We're mad at Lehe! Look at that long comment she left? What the hell are we supposed to say when she already basically put all her thoughts in a comment!?" Dahlia explains.

The three women are in a different location than they had been previously or the room in the Tower Below they had been using for their Advanced Fantasy review. This room was a simple bedroom. A large TV sits at the foot of the bed, the screen of which showing the read they are responding too while the three women are lying on the bed. Dahlia is dressed in only a black babydoll dress with a simple red thong underneath and is face down, with her feet up near the pillows and her head at the foot of the bed, her chin resting on her hands. Alide is sitting on the foot of the bed with her feet hanging off. She's wearing a lacy light blue nightgown that shows off ample cleavage and is specially made to be just barely translucent, giving tantalizing glimpses of her naked body underneath. Yulia is sitting up in the bed, resting against a number of stacked pillows, she's wearing only a white cotton bra that covers most of her breast, but leaves a large amount of visible overboob and a pair of white cotton panties that cover her front and back very well, "Well I guess we'll just have to address the things Lehe didn't..." Alide sighs.

"Yeah there's a few things I can say!" Yulia agrees cheerfully and then in a slightly quieter voice, "also... Alide why are we all in our underwear?"

"Because the theme Lehe is going for here is sexy slumber party," Alide answers quickly before continuing, "I guess we can start by saying... While it is disheartening that so many of the voices left, we have no hard feelings towards any of them... Well... Okay slight hard feelings towards one, but we still understand even if it's frustrating and that person knows who they are," Alide clarifies, "whether people just got busy, were no longer interested or something about the story turned them away... That's fine and we're in fact sorry if it was something we or the story did to turn you away. That being said, our thanks along with Lehe's go out to Gambio and Warider for sticking around and keeping the story going and to Miss Emmie for joining in. Without voices there is no story so we greatly appreciate your continued participation,"

"Yeah... Lehe has hinted that they apparently intend to continue writing the tower of voices with new protagonists, floors, etc... each time the current protagonist dies or completes the tower. They are apparently intent on doing this until either they die IRL or there is no one left interested. Which by necessity means either way the story will at some point just suddenly stop, probably mid-tower run, but anyway hopefully Lehe's real life **** will not be for a while," Dahlia adds.

"Continuing the theme of thanking you all for participation... We are reminded that someone else tried a story like this and it... well didn't make it. The Tower of Voices story could have so easily ended the same, never even making it past the first post or so simply because no one participated so the fact we're at the 6th floor and 160 chapters is a testament to your dedication," Alide adds.

"Lehe often talks about how the most important thing for her regarding this story is that it's fair. She never wants the voices to ever feel like they got screwed over and she feels that she hasn't been perfect in this regard, but she is trying her best to keep everything fair and make sure that any bad things that happen are the result of simple bad luck or bad choices and not just Lehe fucking something up. If at any point someone feels that something is indeed unfair, please let it be known," Yulia adds.

"Alright now that we're past the sappy stuff... Let's talk about some behind the scenes authorial stuff... Most interestingly why ARE all the companions, aside from Martin female? There's a pretty simple answer to this. It comes down to the author and the voices' preferences. With the current all female party, all sexual interactions are going to by necessity be femaleXFemale or MaleXFemale. The general preferences of the voices seemed to be leaning towards this being the preferred sexual pairings at least early on. Obviously some exceptions like Gambio clearly enjoying some female on male femdom, which is still possible in this iteration, but there did not seem to be much if any call for MaleXMale among the voices, though of course Lehe might be mistaken. Lehe also just isn't a fan of writing MaleXMale though she has tried to get better at writing it and included some MaleXMale in her The Hunters story and intends to include a small amount in Dustbin. Regardless though that's the answer to why all the companions, with the exception of Martin, are female. It basically is just to ensure that any encounter will result in sexual scenarios that Lehe is comfortable writing and that she believes her readers are all comfortable reading... Pairing wise of course, subject matter is a bit more iffy..." Dahlia explains.

"To give a more obvious example in case this wasn't clear. If say Isalia was a male. Then if the group enters into a combat encounter with another group of male enemies and lost, the resulting sex scene would either have to exclude Isalia, or would involve likely sex between Isalia and one of the male entities, resulting in a MaleXMale scene. This of course is primarily based on comments made during the initial choice of whether the protagonist should be male or female. The comments tending to lean towards wanting to see a female character involved in sex scenes with men or other women. If the voices had chosen a man and there was a desire towards MaleXMale content, Lehe would bite the bullet and do her best to cater to that. Of course if they chose male, but didn't seem to want maleXMale content, the tower would be almost exclusively if not exclusively female enemies and would have likely resulted in FemaleXMale femdom on loss instead. So there you have it, that's why the companions are all female, because Lehe is pretty sure the vast majority of her current voices don't want MaleXMale and she doesn't really have any specific desire to write it," Alide clarifies further, probably unnecessarily.

"Also... If the voices had chosen male, the male characters were basically the exact same as the female characters except male and with slightly augmented backstories in certain scenarios... My male counterpart was named Yulio Maestro," Yulia adds.

"and was basically a frail sickly femboy healer," Dahlia states and then giggles, "which might have been fun in it's own ways," she adds and grins.

"Also... All angel names need to end in -el not just -l I don't remember exactly, but I think the -el part of the name means of god or something which is why almost all biblical angel names end that way and yes Lehe has taken that to heart and in both the tower and her main writing all angel names end in -el... Well actually the Tower subverts this with Lucius Feralheart, who's name is clearly a reference to Lucifer... LUCIus FERalheart, because Lehe is obviously a literary genius," Alide explains rolling her eyes slightly, "also the angelic naming convention in her main story actually only uses -el for female angels, male angels have names ending in -eus or -us for reasons I'm not quite sure of... but it does mean there's a male angel in her main story named Gloreus... which is... just great" she says with another eye roll.

"Muma being crushed to **** was sad... Though I don't know if I'd call it especially violent... At least compared to Lehe's non-tower works. The gore and **** have actually at least in Lehe's mind, been toned down to widen the appeal of The Tower of Voices story," Yulia says.

"Each floor of the tower does increase in size and to a degree in complexity, though Lehe is scrolling back on complexity a bit after floor 5 ended up being too complex even for her. In her words... 'No more established cities and economies!' but yeah the very first floor had only four rooms, second floor had 8, third had 10, fourth 12, fifth I think was 16 and sixth has 20. Seventh should have about 25, then eighth will have 30, 9th forty and tenth will have fifty, possibly, unless Lehe changes her mind before then and decides that's too much," Dahlia explains and then tilts her head, "also why did Yulia buy an onahole, especially since she already got a strap on from me," Dahlia asks.

"Which Lehe never put into the equipment for some reason..." Alide adds.

"I think one of the voices suggested the onahole? I don't remember," Yulia answers, blushing slightly.

"I mean I guess it might be useful if you ever need to try and get some guy off again like you did with that elf..." Dahlia offers. Yulia nods.

"I think that might have been why it was suggested actually," Yulia responds.

"So... Archdemon of Lust, Yulia... Thoughts?" Dahlia asks.

"I'm not sure. I imagine it would result in having to do horrible things and the idea of taking Ash's place is sickening, but... the upsides are pretty great... I feel like Cherchiel would hate me though if I accepted," Yulia answers.

"Admittedly the idea of you as an archdemon with Cherchiel, Goma and Isalia as your sex slaves, is really hot though,' Dahlia says licking her lips.

"Well... I wouldn't want them to be sex slaves, but... It is kind of a hot image," Yulia admits.

"Well I guess we'll see what the voices decide," Alide says.

"I think that's it, I can't think of anything else to comment on..." Dahlia says.

"Me either," Yulia agrees.

"Alright then... Time for the lesbian sex! Come here Yulia!" Dahlia yells.

"Eep!" Yulia cries out as Dahlia pounces on her.

"Goodbye everyone!" Alide says with a wave as in the background Yulia is squirming as Dahlia pins her down and starts to unhook her bra.
