Pool Time: Part 3

Lithira did rather enjoy the view of all the other ladies with their attire absent; Thelsia lucked out in just having to hang up half her outfit due to what Yuri said about it. The style of attire that Yuri had was a bit different than what she was used to seeing. After taking some time to think while standing in the nude by where she put her attire down for a bit, Lithira headed over to the kiosks. She wanted to see if his system could produce clothing. It took her a few minutes to get over to the kiosks; a quick glance over showed her that Malza had still opted not to take part in the pool activities, but she did seem to be contemplating changing that stance.

Lithira started interacting with the kiosk, which was still a very unusual but fascinating interaction to have with a device. It would take some time to recreate the technology, even with a comprehensive knowledge of magic and engineering, but it at least also gave some sort of goal for an ambitious individual to shoot for. After reaching the kiosk, Lithira started navigating the menus until she found an image that looked like it could have something to do with attire, so she tapped it. Two images made an appearance; they looked like part of the Alpharian symbol on Yuri’s body near his waist; one of the icons had the image of a circle with an arrow-like protrusion coming out at an angle, and the other looked like a circle with a cross coming out of the bottom. Lithira was considerably confused.

Lithira called over to Yuri real quick, “What do these symbols mean?”

Yuri looked over at her from where he was standing, still attired, outside the range of the pool area but still near the pathway to it before setting his strange control device aside at his waist and pulling up a tablet-looking item and interacting with it for a moment before calling back to her, “The symbol with the arrow means ‘Male’ and the symbol with the cross means ‘Female;’ you are all classified as the latter. I hope that helps.” He quickly went back to trying to avoid the scenarios around him.

Lithira found all that rather amusing; she quickly tapped the icon of a circle with a cross and saw a wide selection of actions and activities that seemed to have icons of their own pop-up. Looking over at the options, she found the image of a generic individual swimming and tapped that, a wide array of types of swimwear options was now before her, it might take some time to find the one she that spoke most to her.

Althana observed Usagai’s actions for a bit before fully approaching the pool herself. She just had to figure this thing out; if she could, then she could try recreating its design and try replicating it for anyone who asked, for an appreciate fee, of course. Althana then recalled Yuri had mentioned the pool made use of salt to make a chemical mix with the water. The water was also devoid of any vegetation, including algae, Althana suspected something was done chemically to treat the water to discourage such things; seeing as Yuri had admitted the world he had grown up in seemed to have no real magic and magic itself was often relegated to the realms of storytelling and games.

After taking much longer than she would like to admit, Lithira was finally attired in swimwear. Something called a “two-piece” bikini, the pattern reminded her of crumbling ruins, so she picked it for the amusement factor. When she finally got it, and stripped in full view of everyone, then put it on, she noticed it covered far less than she had anticipated. A moment after she made her choice, one of the automatons bruought her her choice on a wooden clothes hanging device; it seemed like everything had been modified to fit the Erotolsia standards, which wasn’t too much of an issue but Lithira had been hoping to try something that wasn’t quite to the world’s curiously revealing standards.

“Why are you wearing a micro-bikini?” Was heard from Yuri as he sighed with annoyance.

“Because that’s what was given to me after I made my decision,” said Lithira playfully as she sauntered over to the pool area in a manner that was designed to intentionally provoke erotic reactions from Yuri, who seemed to be doing a decent job of holding his composure.
