Gaia Date 1, Part 2: A Walk in the Park

Gaia

Gaia has never seen so many stars at once before. The lights of the town are distant, blocked by the flowers exhibit they have walked through, plus some local trees. The wildflowers in the prairie are dim in the dark. The night sky looks so... wrong. Not that it’s on fire or anything like that. Just, the pattern of stars are wrong. The moon too large in the sky; it’s craters are different, too. Gaia takes a swig from her kombucha bottle and tries to make sense of it all.

Mona breaks the silence, grumbling, “This is a lot of veggies, Gaia.”

“Hey, veggies are good for you, kid. Eat.”

Mona looks unhappy, but takes a bite of her wrap. “This green goop you made is pretty good.”

“Thanks. It’s called guacamole. Also, technically a veggie.”

“Huh. If this guacamole stuff is a veggie, why can’t I have it for lunch instead of the veggies they keep giving me?”

Gaia shrugs. “It probably counts as a fat instead of a veggie in their scheme, I guess? Dunno.”

Mona slathers more guacamole on her wrap and takes another bite. Gaia takes a wrap and takes a bite herself. The veggies are well roasted and the hummus is so good. She uses a slice of red bell pepper to scoop up some guacamole before Mona eats it all. The bell pepper is crisp and cold, just like they’ve been pulled from the refrigerator. The guacamole is creamy avocados, mashed with some tomatoes, red onions, and jalapenos, with a touch of garlic powder and lime juice. Delicious.

Mona has found the fruit and is devouring sliced apples like they are going out of style. Gaia takes another bite of her wrap and watches. Girl’s got an appetite. And a real sweet tooth. Or she just doesn’t like vegetables.

“So, I guess we really aren’t on Earth anymore?” Mona asks, mouth full of apples.

“All of the non-humans around didn’t convince you of that?”

Mona pouts, still chewing, “I figured that, maybe this was an Earth where things went different?”

Had to be very different to cause all of this. Better. Worth considering. “If that’s the case, why couldn’t the stars be different?”

Mona tries a little guacamole with an apple slice. She makes a face.“How could things being different here change the stars?”

“That would be a question for the thinky types. Think they have constellations here?”

Before Mona can answer, a sudden care package of a sort appears on the picnic blanket. A couple of small flashlights, a dim red beam of light shining from each. A couple of constellation maps. A compass straight out of some Boy Scout’s backpack. A small book of local mythology. Mona grabs a flashlight and checks out one of the maps.

It turns into a fun exercise. They use the compass to get themselves oriented to the map, then use the map to point out constellations, then read the pervy story about it. The two end of giggling about a lot of them. You know what? If I’m going to be stuck in a harem, the kid ain’t that bad. Just need to find someone for a good occasional dicking down, and I’ll be okay.

The way Mona’s eyes light up when the cupcakes come out is endearing too.

Mona: Daily task bonus objective failed! Cheated on diet during her date.

Kevin

Of the three people waiting for him, one was expected, one unexpected, one new. Nyadia is stretching and giving some practice swings of some kind of ball and chain thing. Winter, in the maid’s usual frilly maid outfit, is running through some practice spars with the new girl. Winter is apparently a fencer. The new girl is total eye candy for Mona, if she were here: a bronze skinned beauty with copper hair in a high ponytail wearing actual bikini armor and wielding some kind of double bladed thing? Kevin admittedly doesn’t know his weapons well.

Winter waves Kevin over. The new girl coos, “You’re right, Winter. He IS cute.”

Kevin stammers, “Have I mentioned that I am very, very gay?”

Winter and the girl giggle. Nyadia snarls, “Stop teasing the boy. Winter, introduce your sister.”

Winter salutes the lazzorkat with the maid’s blade, then, with a flourish, declares, “Kevin, the lovely creature before you is my sister Lyra.”

“At least,” the bikini clad elf snarks, “so long as Mother Aelenetheria is not around. Then, I am Lady Salmalinda, fifth in line for the throne. And Winter over there is Noble Helchrive, seventh in line for the throne.”

“Though,” Winter notes as the maid hands Kevin a shield, “I would turn it down if it came to me. Better Mama Scarlet rule than me.”

“I suppose the line of succession here is none of my business. Why are the two of you here? I figured it would just be Nyadia.”

The lazzorkat smiles, noting, “For one, you requested sparring partners closer to your level. Winter and Lyra are in the same tier as you. For two, a lesson in damage types. There are three basic physical damage types and the three of us have focused on different types. Winter, you are up first.”

Winter does the same salute as the drow gave Nyadia. “Do I get a sword or something?” Kevin asks.

Nyadia chuckles before she answers, “No sir, you are here to learn how to block. Shields have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage with your kite shield is that it is relatively light for a shield. Light means maneuverable. The disadvantage is a smaller area of coverage. You have to align the shield just right to not get hit. Winter’s estoc is a piercing weapon. It’s designed to punch holes in armor and skewer the soft bits inside. Winter won’t go full tilt, but, if you’re not careful...”

Kevin catches the shield tossed to him, which is heavier than he suspected. He guesses, “I cream my milk, right?”

Winter licks the drow’s lips, then, with a flourish, begins. The estoc comes in slow, at first. Kevin still struggles to get the shield in place before he would get hit. As Kevin gets better, Winter starts going harder. Kevin can tell Winter is still going easy, but the maid gets one good hit on him before Nyadia calls for a swap.

Lyra steps up, her weapon at the ready. Nyadia instructs, “Lyra uses a double bladed scimitar. Slashing damage is the one you would least have to worry about. It’s great against flesh, not against a shield. The tricky thing here is angles. You won’t know if the left blade or the right is coming at you. Again, Lyra will go easy on you, but...”

Lyra goes fast. The footwork lesson from this morning helps. Kevin watches Lyra’s weight shift and does his best to block the slice from the appropriate blade. She gets a few cuts in, but Kevin manages. He gets to the point where he’s blocking most of the hits handily.

Finally, Nyadia steps up herself, “I use maces and flails. Bludgeoning damage. Dangerous, because the goal is to crush bones and armor. I dent that shield badly enough, it becomes a liability. This is a plain flail, but still will mess you up. Ready?”

Kevin didn’t feel ready. He does block the first few hits, but, as expected, the shield starts to dent. It becomes a balancing act; block the blows he can’t dodge, avoid the ones he can. His shoulder feels like it wants to fall off by the time Nyadia is done, but he only came once. Not a bad lesson, all things considered.

Kevin: Success – Shield Training (5 XP / 5 XP)

Kevin: +5 XP, Shield proficiency (Training Session)

Winter saunters up as Lyra and Nyadia wave good-bye. “So, my big, strong bull, how do you feel?”

“Like my arm is jello and still very, very gay.”

Winter smirks, “Oh, I am aware.”

Kevin is, frankly, a little annoyed. “Look, I don’t suppose you can help me find a way to learn how to do that weekly bounty? You know, to make up for all of the... flirting?”

“Oh, I can. It’ll cost you. Not BP, mind you. A favor for you to do in the morning. Agreed?”

I’m going to regret this, aren’t I? Kevin sighs, “Agreed.”

Winter smiles as the maid loops a hand around Kevin’s elbow, resting a head on Kevin’s bicep. The two head inside. Yup, regretting this already.

Mona

Mona is a bit distracted and annoyed by the notification she saw as Gaia packs up the picnic

Mona: Daily task bonus objective failed! Cheated on diet during her date.

She texts Tyalangan: “How did I cheat on my diet! I ate a bunch of fruits and veggies for dinner!”

The text back is annoying: “Too many carbs, not enough protein.”

But the cupcake was soooo good. Mona pouts a little. Gaia notices. “Hey, kid, what I do wrong?”

“It wasn’t you. It’s the weird diet. Apparently, what we had counted as cheating.”

Gaia commiserates with the gamer girl as the two of them walk down the trail. The air feels more humid as they enter the tropical rainforest section. A canopy of trees loom over the couple as the lights blink on just long enough to let them see the way. It is quite pretty out here. And Gaia is smiling. She has a pretty smile.

So, they both notice when one of the lights doesn’t turn on as they approach. Mona muses, “What does that mean?”

“Dunno. Wanna turn back?”

“Where’s your sense of adventure?” Mona asks as she sallies forth into the dark section. That was a mistake. She finds herself being pulled off the trail, further into the dark. She struggles against it, but whatever is doing this is so strong. “HELP!”

A ball of silvery light appears, hovering over the middle of the trail, and Mona can see what is happening. Purple vines are wrapping around her, pulling her out of the light, soaking her dress in some kind of sap. Sap that is making her horny.

Gaia sees what’s going on and bounds into action. The shifter’s first action probably would have made more sense if Mona recalled Tessa’s magic lesson, but she’s a little distracted. Gaia pulls her outfit into her inventory. Her bulked up form, in all of it’s naked glory, is on display. Mona drools over it.

Gaia: +8 XP (Full frontal nudity, all at once, for Mistress)

I wanna see if I can fit Gaia’s whole boob in my mouth! I wanna feel inside her bear cave! I wanna smear more of this sap stuff all over her naked body until she cums from it! And then she does it to me! Sooo hawt!

Gaia mutters some words and gestures with her hands. The vines grasping her suddenly grow taunt. What? Mona turns back to see that the purple vines wrapped around her are being pulled by more vines, these glowing green. Then, a purple vine shoots out to plug itself in Mona’s mouth. It excretes more sap in her mouth. Soooo hawt!

So, Mona only sees Gaia shift in her periphery. Her body bulks up more as her big hands turn into big paws and her jaw turns into a sexy bear muzzle. Then she charges, snapping into the purple vines with her sharpened, elongated teeth.

As more sap is pumped into Mona’s mouth and squeezed over her body, she feels that her panties are absolutely drenched. She would be totally frigging herself if she could get a hand in there. Gaia keeps tearing at the vines, fluids slowly dripping down between her thighs as she goes. She must be swallowing the sap as she goes, too! I need to cum soooooo badly!

Still the glowing green vines hold. Gaia keeps tearing the vines out. Biting, scratching, digging in the dirt. Killing the thing. Soon enough, only the glowing green vines are holding the shredded bits of purple up.

Gaia: +1 XP (Killed a Level 1 Monster)

Gaia: +10 XP (Rescued the Mistress, x2 bonus [first time bonus])

Gaia catches Mona as the gamer girl falls from the sudden loss of restraint. Mona smells Gaia as she nuzzles into the bear-girl’s neck. Mona whispers into Gaia’s ear, “Please, take me upstairs and let me have my way with you.”

Gaia shifts back to her current normal, letting Mona down on her feet. The sap sticks to both of them: around Gaia’s mouth and all over Mona. Gaia, pupils blown out with desire, growls, “Are you sure? I don’t want to take advantage of you, kid.”

“Yeah, I’m sure. The fact that you care to check is good enough evidence that you can get some points off of it. And I am soooo horny right now.”

To highlight the point, Mona presses herself into Gaia, standing on her tip toes to cover the slight height difference, and kisses Gaia directly on the lips. It feels like Gaia hesitates for a moment or two, but eventually Mona can get her tongue into Gaia’s mouth. She tastes the sap remnants in Gaia’s mouth and feels herself get even more aroused. So haaaawt!

Gaia: +2 XP (Kiss the Mistress)

The notification ding in Mona’s head confirms it. Gaia is into Mona enough to get points off of her. Gaia gently caresses Mona’s chin and kisses her again. Mona grinds into Gaia until the bear-girl breaks it off.

Gaia finally sighs, “Okay, let’s head upstairs.”

Gaia wraps an arm around Mona’s waist as she leads them back to the Hotel the way they came. No need for more sexy vines; I am already gushing from their fondling.
