An Off Day Pt 8

(("It's nearly time, Boss"))

Walt nodded. He looked at Neo. She nodded and left the room with the cart he'd asked the hotel for. They'd said their own staff would be happy to change linens but he told them his maids could handle it. All he required was the linens and steak dinners. They acquiesced. It was far from the strangest request they'd received from a high roller, and keeping high rollers and whales happy was what casino's did best.

He put the two little ladies to sleep and watched them for a while. He looked at Roberta and Sayoko. They both nodded. They'd watch over them.

He extended his arm and Kali took it. She was nervous but he smiled and patted her hand. She took a deep breath and nodded. It was time. They left the suite.

There was plenty of time so they casually stolled through the hotel. It really was quite grand. It definitely was trying to live up to the title of "Palace" and be palatial. Walter pointed out a few of the art pieces he recognized to Kali.

Slowly they made their way to their destination. He looked at the door. Suite "42". He smiled. It didn't bother him at all. He'd knocked on deaths door many, many times before... when he hadn't kicked it in. He knocked this time. They'd been invited after all.

They were frisked at the door of course. That was standard really. Of course the one frisking Kali had been all to eager to do so and was less then professional about it. He politely asked the man to handle his property with care. The man made a show of deliberately groping her one last time. She showed perfect restraint and so did he. He made a note of the man though.

After that they were scanned for any less obvious means. They were particularly interested in the glasses but eventually gave them back. After finally being satisfied they were bid enter.

This suite was a bit different from theirs but it was also nice. It was missing some of the opulence. Godo sat in the middle flanked by his men.

"Godo-San."

"Stark-San. I'm glad you arrived safely and promptly." Godo said. "How do you like your visit to "Mt. Hōrai"?" Godo indicated they take a seat.

Walt looked at the goon who'd groped Kali. "The reception could use a little work, but the accommodations were very generous. Thank you for the magnanimous invitation to visit Penglai Palace and for making the journey, Godo-San."

"Muchina gaikoku no orokana buta to kare no shōfu!" The goon spat.

"Chinmoku!" Godo said. "Please excuse the lack of manners and disrespect to you and your property, Stark-San."

Walt smiled. "There's nothing to forgive, Godo-San. I learned a longtime ago to pay little mind to the barking of coyotes under a full moon. It's the cry of the wolf that's important."

The goon looks like he's about to say more but Godo laughed! "Well said, Stark-San! This is wise! A coyote is not a wolf, just as a snake is not a dragon. On that note shall we conclude our business, then?"

Walt nodded. "Please, lets." He tried to ignore the bad feeling he was getting.

Godo snapped his fingers.

The ladies were marched out from another room. First came Willow Schnee and Glynda Goodwitch. They'd been restrained as well as collared, their hands and arms bound in sleeves of some kind. It kept their arms behind their back and their shoulders back, forcing their lovely chests forward. Walt berated himself mentally for noticing that. Glynda had also been gagged. They both appeared healthy enough and, bondage gear aside, he was glad they were dressed in their regular outfits. Willow seemed unhappy but compliant while Glynda was less behaved.

"They look well enough Godo-San." Walt said. "I thank you for that. May we have a closer look?"

Godo nodded. "Of course, Stark-San."

Walt didn't move. He nodded and Kali rose. They watched her closely but she went to each lady, one at a time and inspected them. Just as Walt had instructed her to. She turned them around slowly one way, then the other and ran her hands over them gently while the rest of the ladies were brought out.

The green skinned Haruna was next followed by Sasha Blouse, Tsuyu Asui and then Minami Aiba who made a fuss and ran to Godo crying. "Please, Godo-San! Don't get rid of me! I love you! I adore you!"

Godo looked mildly embarrassed as he pulled his arm away from the crying small woman. "Be quiet or you'll be gagged as well!... Apologies for the unseemly display. She's been repathed to consider whoever her owner is as her beloved. That fool. It just makes her even more unsuitable."

"Think nothing of it, Godo-San," Walt said while thinking. *Great... that's going to be embarrassing for me as well. Poor woman.*

After that came Anastasia DeCobray, Demona with additional restraints for her wings and tail, Pirotess, Mystique and Haruhime Sanjouno...

"We seem to be missing one, Godo-San."

Gojo snapped his fingers and an young Adult looking Fox girl was brought out and over to them. It was an adult Senko.

She was dressed in her usual garb but she was even more restrained than the others were. She didn't look happy at all. Infact her normally bright eyes looked quite miserable. She made a small, unhappy sound around the gag as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Apologies. Even with the collar restraining her abilities we had to err on the side of caution. Fox spirits are always troublesome and divine ones, more so." Godo shook his head. "This man will be your new owner, Senko."

Walt doesn't say anything but nods his head. He understands. He reaches out his hand to pat the young woman's head tenderly. She flinched but then relaxed when his touch was gentle. Her tail wagged slightly. Just because he understood doesn't mean he liked it. Godo looked like he didn't like it either.

Walt looked at Kali who shook her head and Fridays analysis of the other ladies. "You have shown a lot of care and thoughtfulness in the handling of my property. I thank you for that, Godo-San. Allow me to finalize payment and complete our transaction."

Godo nodded and a man approached with a tablet.

(("Boss. Trouble at home. Likely incursion imminent. Going to level 1 readiness."))

Walt said nothing while inwardly he cursed the universe's timing. His gut feelings were rarely wrong.

The ladies were having a good time just hanging out and relaxing at the hotsprings.

(("Ladies. Please arm and ready yourselves and return to the main building immediately."))

Pyrrha, Blake and Sienna immediately went to their weapons, while Penny gathered Ahnassi and Lifts-Her-Tail. "What's the situation, Friday?"

(("Walt doesn't usually have me track specific animal movement but there's too much in general and all moving towards the house and your general location to be coincidental. Dispatching drones and moving to level one state of readiness. I recommend high alert."))

Penny nodded as she helped the two ladies. Ahnassi was mostly able to move on her own but she'd underestimated the sake a bit and was in no condition for action. She could help Penny with Lita though. Lita was in the worst shape and generally a non-combatant.

"Pyrrha could you take point, please?" Penny asked.

"Of course Penny!" She responded her shield and blade at the ready.

"Blake, Sienna may I ask you to watch our flanks?"

"Yes, Penny!" And "My pleasure!" They both responded as they had already begun moving to those positions after Pyrrha had taken the point.

They were huntresses and this was what they did... even underdressed they were ready. They cautiously started heading for the main house.
