Interlewds part 2

Lana

Welp didn’t look like Annie was going to be any fun tonight. She was a blushing Zombie and she smelled like sex. So I let the attendants take her away to her room, and found myself facing a fairly lonely evening.

“Hey Lana.”

Maybe not as lonely as I thought. The moment I heard Gabe's voice I channeled my inner Anna and let myself frost over. I turned to him and was surprised to find him looking all shy. “Yes?”

He took my response and nodded. “Ah, so you do hate me.”

As if it were my responsibility to like him or something. “That speech wasn’t just for Hilda. I’m not going to let anyone hurt Anna.”

“Too late for that.” He made a gesture of apology. Something vague. “I thought she was someone else when I started dating her. When I found out the truth, instead of just breaking up I decided I wanted to hurt her, because I somehow felt betrayed. So, I’m sorry for that, it was a trashy thing to do.”

Wow. “That’s awfully honest.”

He nodded, he just had that miserable look of a person having to confess something. “Well, I want you to like me.” Ship’s sailed on that one. “Because I realized that the girl I wanted Anna to be was you.”

And with that another finger on the monkey paw curls inward. I just had to be jealous of Anna when I first met him didn't I? What a joke.

Holy freaking crap. “Now that’s trashy!” I slapped him on the arm. “I’m her sister Gabe! Are you crazy?”

He raised his arms to protect him from more of my fearsome bard slaps. “Believe me any other time that would have been a funny bit of irony that I get over after a few weeks. But we’re kind of in a situation right now. I figured we have to get along eventually so might as well shoot the shot.”

“Well, you shot it!” I huffed and slapped him again. “Right into your own foot.”

“So be it.” He threw his arms up. “I just didn’t want to lie anymore and pretend that I’m not attracted to you.” He stepped back before I could slap him again. “So um… just go forward with that knowledge.”

I groaned. “Like I could forget.”

He gave me a sympathetic smile. “I’m sorry. This whole situation is fucked, and I’ve pretty much given up on looking or feeling good about myself, but I am going to do my best to get us all out, and then we’ll never see eachother again.” He cringed. “But we both know what doing that means…” he let it hang in the air like a threat, or maybe a ghost. “ I’m not going to **** anything, but just know I’m very interested whenever you decide to come around.”

He said it like it was so inevitable. Maybe it was. He was so cute, but he was rotten. I’ll admit I was happy for Anna when I first met him. He was cute, funny, and I was jealous. That’s what made him so scary now. He hid his contempt for her, under those bright eyes and an easy smile. “Okay, I hear you… and.” I bit my lip, I was wearing something and so wasn’t as insanely confident as I had been. “…I don’t blame you for anything this show is making you do… I blame you for what you did on your own.”

He nodded. “I understand.”

Looks passed between us, one after another. Understand, distrust, fear, desire. They came and went, and we were silent all the while.

Then, I felt something slip.

I felt myself slip.

“Fuck it.” Someone said with my own lips. “It’s going to happen, so let’s just get it over with.” My hand brushed my robe away from my breast. “I masturbated to you the night we met, there’s something there between us. And it’s not like she’s my real sister. I hardly even know her, just a few meetings every other year or so.”

Shut up Lana, shut up.

Gabe just smiled. Of course he did, pig. “Well as exciting as I find that proposal, I think I’m starting to get the hang of this. You’re not the same Lana I was talking to.”

Oh. Maybe he wasn’t. “Don’t be silly, I’m a surf chick, you don’t fight the current. Let’s just ride it.” I grabbed his hands.

He looked at me trying to discern my real intentions, get in line buster. I couldn’t even tell if I meant what I was saying. I really was a promiscuous little slut in my other life. That had been a choice I made in that life, maybe this was my choice too? “Well tonight the current is taking me to Jasmine, so if you wake up tomorrow and still feel this way. We can have breakfast and talk about it.”

Vera

Fresh gold filled my little velvet sack, and I was jingling it around like a dummy. I just loved the sound of the gold coin’s clanking. I’m glad there wasn’t anything in the Code of Gabe about giving up personal wealth. As much as it killed me to give up the money I earned from being his second favorite, the pride I took in being the one everybody trusted was worth more.

After the tournament Skye asked Gabe if he changed his mind on who his favorite was. He said no, but that we would distribute the BP in the same way we had. 4 for everyone, and six for me to keep safe. (Author's Note: After a three month break, I wanted to get rolling with the story again, and didn't want to slow it down with another best girl poll, which would have resulted in them sharing the split anyway.)

That was a nice prize after an embarrassing performance. I’m glad I won my first match, but I’d only done it by, bleh! Licking my toes. Not very becoming of a princess, and not very impressive as a paladin.

I didn’t even get to show what I could do. Worse than that the Senator had my number. If she let my secret slip, my chances of winning were ruined.

“Vera!” Gabe’s voice stopped me. I was wandering about the Pavilion looking for stuff to buy. Even though I wasn’t planning on using the team’s money, I still felt like I’d been busted. I’d been caught rifling through vanmates wallets enough to be familiar with the feeling.

“Oh, hey!” I **** a smile. “I thought you’d be with Jasmine.”

“Hert beauticians are working on her.”

I shuddered, half from the memory of my own team going over me with a pumice stone, but also the idea that they were prepping her to… fuck him! “Killing time then?”

He looked a little guilty. “Not really. I wanted to buy something for her.”

“Oh that’s sweet.” I said, even as a void opened up in my stomach and tried to suck me into it. “I guess I’m the money, huh?”

To his credit, he had the good sense to be embarrassed by the whole thing. “I’m sorry, if I had my own money I wouldn’t bother you.”

“Ha!” I tried to swirl up a little dwarven bravado. “I guess that makes me your sugar mama.”

He smiled at that, and I felt kind of proud that I wasn’t a total downer. “Yeah, I guess so.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets. He looked very boyish and cute like that “Anything I can do to earn that coin Mama Hammertits?”

I held out my stubby little hand. “I could go for a walk.” He took my hand. “And you can call me Vera, baby.”

Night

Fuck, party in room one.

Anna and the Senator were both out of commission for the night. One from a broken will, and the other from a broken body. It was like a crypt in there.

Their door had been easy enough to open. I just stuck my knife in and twisted, simple as that. It was weird noticing the shortcuts this world used to convey things.

Take Daisy, for instance. she was supposed to be recovering from getting launched into space, but she looked fine, just a few scuff marks. She was thrown into her bed without a care. Yet I’d been assured she’d be fully healed for tomorrow.

No blood, either.

I’d say this world was pg-13, except I could see Daisy’s drooling cooze. I imagined it pixilated in real life, and smiled.

I ignored Anna and headed for the boss. I looked the tiny green thing over, no panties in sight just that spider silk armor tied around her like a net. That wasn’t going to be easy.

No way the client was going to want them ripped up. It’d be so much easier to cut the thing off of her, especially since the armor was knitted on the back. I was going to have to flip her over.

I glanced back at Anna, who was mumbling in her sleep. My little rival. I’d have felt superior if we weren’t in the same stinking position. Anyone else I would have made curly fries out of, even Daisy. Then I get stuck with the orc, and lose to a lucky roll.

Oh well.

I turned back to Daisy.

I had contempt for this creature. The Drow considered goblins to be little better than animals. She felt that way about all non-drow but a lot of that was shrouded in self-conscious insecurities, it was a definite belief with goblins.

Even the way she slept annoyed me. Legs open, pussy wet, hoping something will come along and fuck her. The drow told me that if I managed to wake Daisy or Anna up, I could just finger the little green booger's slobbering pussy, and neither would think anything of it. I was just using a goblin to get my kicks, nothing weird with that. I'd prefer not having to **** my boss to get out of the situation, but a chilling through came to my mind. 'You can't **** a goblin'

What the fuck?

I’d always considered myself a misanthrope, but this thing made me feel like a social butterfly. I don’t see how Gabe was ever going to want me if I kept going at this pace. I wouldn't want me. I was... dangerous.

I shook my head. Not useful, stay focused. By the grace of Gabe these panties meant money for me if I collected them. I at least had something to work towards, these two just had to sleep the day off and try again.

How out, was out?

I nudged Daisy.

Nothing.

I nudged again, more of the same.

Out was out.

All or nothing, I grabbed a strand of her harness, and flipped her over. I held my breath for Several heartbeats, waiting for her to stir, waiting for for a “mission failed” screen to pop up.

Her snoring put me at ease.

I let my fingers attack the knots. It was quick work all considering. The body had experience with this, either just knots, or the armor in particular. After about a minute I was able to unravel enough that I could pull Daisy free, and after that it went into by bag. (6/8) just Lana and Vera left. That wouldn't be easy to get in a night. Both were still conscious.

Let’s just see what tomorrow brings.

Vera

I miss being cocaine skinny. Having your thighs rub together is a bitch.

My thighs were chaffed after that walk with Gabe. It was totally worth it for a little personal time with him, but still embarrassing. I’m going to have to see if this place has any deodorant I can rub down there.

Being a dwarf is a bitch too, the world is not meant for 4 feet tall fatties. Even as I looked over railing of the gardens, I had to stand on my tip toes.

“You can’t get that kind of view in Texas.” That was Anna’s voice, but she was out, so Lana. She was right too. I guess Gabe was working some totally crazy Studio Ghibli magic, because his castle was flying. Clouds were passing under us, and the green landscape of this fantasy land passed below.

“Beats my dad’s jet.” I said trying to sound rich. So dumb. I wish I wasn’t so insecure. It’s not like I even had access to my trust anyway, that money might as well have been on Mars. I guess Earth was just as out of reach now too.

Sad.

I turned to face Lana, instantly jealous. She was so pretty, even more so draped in that gorgeous blue outfit. She’s exactly the type of girl who’d have be wrapped around her finger during my groupie days. If she had a pocket full of pills she’d be unstoppable. Luckily her tailor had skipped the pockets, along with modesty.

“How ya feelin’?” She already knew, and felt the same.

“Like a loser.”

“Same.” She laughed, the leaned against the railing. “Sucks, because we actually made out pretty well. Anna is going to be impossible tomorrow, she hates losing.”

“Yeah… plus Gabe gave her that pain requirement, that’s not going to be fun.”

She twitched slightly. “Bastard. Did you know he actually came up to me after the tournament and said he liked me?”

What? I’d been formulating a reason why him picking that trait was better than the other options, but then that. “Why would he say that?”

She shrugged. Her eyes were moving about, working through layers of emotions. “I just think he’s toxic, and it’s our bad luck to have died with him. Should have been the bus driver…”

“Don’t say that, he’s under a lot of pressure.” I don’t know where that clear-headed thought came from because I was mad. I thought he’d really meant it when he said he liked me. He held my stomach and shook it, like who does that if they’re not serious? But he’s doing that was everyone, like girls don’t talk.

“Well that’s what I told him. I’m going to try and not hold what Skye is making him do against him, but I’m still plenty mad about how he treated Anna, and it’s not like he’s had a whole lot of time to grow since then.” She paused. “Sorry, I just came in here and ruined your alone time.” She gave a guilty laugh, it was really disarming. I was familiar with that type of things, not realizing you're building yourself into a rage until you're halfway there. It held suck out some of the poison I felt towards her.

“It’s okay, I needed to hear that.” It's not her fault Gabe playing us all.

“Still.” She stretched. “I’m usually not such a downer. Didn’t mean to ruin the view for you.”

Hard to imagine anything ruining that view. My mood on the other hand was good and wrecked. I was cruising a cool depressive mope, but she had to go and make me the Vera who broke a vase over her boyfriend's head.

So I shrugged and pulled a purse of coins out of my dress. “Want to spend all his money?”
