Might Be Time Now?

Scarlet

The hair fiasco is solved. Skye’s hair is curled into long, voluminous waves like an old Hollywood movie starlet. Dinah insisted on weaving in some little blue flowers. They look nice and Skye seems happy.

Now, to deal with the new debacle: make-up. Skye’s never worn it before, yet she wants it for her date tonight. Now, what make-up does any of us have that goes with lilac skin, violet eyes, and silver hair?

If anyone has it, it’s Tina. They head to the room Skye shares with the bonny bunny as Scarlet texts to borrow some make-up. They find some mauve lipstick and some silver eyeshadow to go with some black eyeliner. Skye even giggles a little at some sparkly little gem stickers that Scarlet adds to her cheeks.

“Oh, while we’re here, I got a special task for you, Ms. Scarlet. Hold onto this and give it to Harper before she gets to the sandbar. It’s for her to open.” Skye pulls out a box almost as big as her from her wardrobe. It looks heavy. It is heavy. Scarlet pops it into her inventory, once again thankful for her personal dimensional pocket.

“We’ve handled the last 2 things. Old and new?” Dinah asks.

Skye gives the de-aged doctor a confused look, “What are you talking about, Ms. Dinah?”

“Did I make a bad assumption about what you’re up to or a bad assumption about your traditions?”

Now this is interesting. “Well, what do you think our dear Skye is up to?”

“My brother’s fiance on the day of her wedding acted a lot like Skye is acting now.”

Skye turns a deep purple as she blushes. “Shh... It’s supposed to be a secret. I still don’t know what you’re talking about Ms. Dinah.”

“You know, the old rhyme, ‘Something old, something new / something borrowed, something blue’? It’s stuff a bride is supposed to wear for good luck. We got the last two. Need the first two.”

“Different traditions, but I may be able to manage. My estoc is only a couple of days old, that surely should count as something ‘new’. Something old may be harder.”

How is that appropriate to carry for a wedding?

“Ring?”

“Cast them last night.”

She made her wedding rings last night? Really? Scarlet finally asks something, “Any jewelry from home?”

“We don’t really have much of that, and I never had any jewelry. Not practical.”

“Team Mom to the rescue. I have something that will work. Be right back!” Dinah scurries out the door.

“Skye, are you...”

“It’s The Lady’s will. And, anyways, we are already bound to our lady future love. Why put off what’s fated to happen? Plus, I’m saving myself for my wife. You heard what the mean lady was crudely implying. Can you tell me I could get 80 odd more points without either marrying Harper now or breaking that vow?”

Scarlet sits and thinks while Dinah returns with a lovely pair of teardrop shaped pearl earrings. Now, if only Skye’s ears were pierced.

Beckie Petersen

Beckie feel dumb. Why Beckie feel dumb? Beckie super big smart! Beckie make show people see her Big Idea good TV. Beckie no like feel dumb.

Beckie has been doing the same thing that she has been doing the past couple of days when not holding the daily meeting: masturbating to the livestream of the super smexy fox cyber slut. Her pants are completely soaked in black ichor. Not that she understands the words “masturbating”, “livestream”, or “ichor” any more.

Beckie hears a knock on the door. She scrambles to turn off the monitor with the livestream on and scoots her legs underneath the desk. She hasn’t lost so much of her brain that she forgets about impropriety, even if, again, she doesn’t understand the word any more.

“Come in! Beckie not doing by herself stuff.”

“Um, hi,” the super smexy fox girl enters, “Can I ask for a favor?”

“What want, super smexy fox girl that I no touch myself to?”

Beckie thinks she hears the super smexy fox girl mutter “Gross,” but she’s not sure. Beckie’s not sure about a lot of things at this point. The cyber slut then replies, “I really need you to shut down that Playtime app. It is such a bummer and will totally ruin my date. Don’t you want me to succeed tomorrow night?”

Beckie tries to pull up the transformation description that the cyber slut is talking about, but can’t make heads or tails of it:

Time for a Moedl Bccotos – Añil uses a kujbqfk dbking for bevrgftp, now she pmclius it in real life. Añil’s obyd sldujhevwjs hsall aecnhg to jmtfc the obyd type ptihullvcpcs for her Rrofmdusr moedl as found on the bwqwslhf Iojtbwglvkc Btbtkuweh wtsebie. In afqvrvca, The Selkjt and all ondwswwcnrs vnpwtc Añil hsall sbnsgbq an app to ylpa with Añil’s obyd. Ondwswwcnrs will have to buy theqcs with BP to ylpa; Añil will sbnsgbq a kcbhurh of BP theqc sales in the app. The Selkjt has a wrfhktih iflionk huijphdpcnwj. All ylpa sqopqahs are on vlwgrksi ogtugs, so no sakwlpmk ylpa fergqbs to afafv a HQUS bkawiu (Rrofmdusr).

“Read thing to Beckie, slut.”

The cyber slut pulls up the transformation on her phone and reads it. It takes several re-readings for Beckie to understand enough of it to figure out the problem.

“If Beckie turn off app thingy, Slut go back to old body. Do slut want old body?”

The cyber slut shudders. “No, no I don’t. Is there nothing you can do?”

Beckie shrugs. In a huff, the cyber slut leaves. Beckie turns around and turns on the screen so she can continue to masturbate to her. While she starts to touch herself, squirting more black ichor, the rudiments of a plan begins to emerge. Slut in bad points. Slut will be eli... elim... lose soon. Maybe eat slut? Maybe that fix Beckie brain and Beckie be smarter again? Need write lose thingy. Make slut Beckie food. Yes. Then Beckie have smexy cyber slut body for Beckie! Yes!

Harper

Daphne missed. Her slow hit one of the Living Latex blobs. Not a great start. Josie rushes in, blood red bloodlust flowing off her, and charges the faster of the Living Latex. The blob is shredded into little bits, just like in the last fight. Then the big Goo Girl starts to chant.

“<Shit!>” Daphne starts chanting back in Aquan and, as soon as the spell comes out of the Goo Girl, it fizzles. Harper stares at Tina. I could have helped with that if I didn’t need to take Tongues. Good thing Daphne has us covered.

Focusing on the spell on her ring, Harper feels Haste wash over her. She then starts the bladesong and begins her part of the ****. She starts with a spell. Psychic energy emits from her head as she charges the slowed Living Latex. The Goo Girl and the slowed Living Latex are both hit, but something about their nature prevents the secondary effect? Doesn’t matter. Harper takes a defensive position by the Living Latex she hit, preparing to serve as a distraction. A couple of pseudopods shoot out of the Goo Girl. Harper winces in pain as the blob flung towards her hits her head. The one flung towards Josie swings wide.

Harper hears the Aquan chant of Daphne casting Tidal Wave and the blobs by Josie are washed away. Tina chants in pop culture magic words and her Dust Devil is once again positioned above the Goo Girl, but this time placed off-center. The Goo Girl mostly shrugs off the pull for now.

Josie charges the boss, swiping three times at the Goo Girl. On the third swipe, Josie’s collar pulses twice and the Goo Girl suffers a nasty gash. The Goo Girl starts to chant through the pain, and Daphne starts to counterspell again. Harper starts to cast as well; buffeting winds surround her and she bursts towards the boss. Thunderous sound wraps around her blade and she lands a doubly-enhanced blow. The energy wraps around the Goo Girl, ready to trigger when she moves (or, much more likely, be moved). The second hit wasn’t nearly as good, but every little bit helps. Once again, the Goo Girl attacks through the pain, both pseudopods swing wide.

Harper can’t see the back line casters, but Daphne casts Tidal Wave. Tina repositions the Dust Devil slightly and the Goo Girl is pulled away. Harper’s sonic energy burst from the jostling. Then Harper sees a couple of Tina’s card blasts smack the boss. I guess they handled the other add this round.

Round 3. Gotta win this round to avoid more adds. Josie does her thing, this time without any pretense of defense. To be fair, she is very effective at her thing. The Goo Girl looks extremely hurt, a wobble in it’s chanting, as Daphne once again shuts down the spell. Harper avoids the pull from Tina’s tiny twister as she once again infuse her blade with sound. Her slashes land true. The bosses swipes again swing wide.

Daphne starts to chant, this time a new spell. She’s trying to finish this now. Glancing back, Harper sees the burst of purple energy expand around a point. It seems to be coming a little too fast. Bracing for impact, the last thing she hears is Daphne blurt out, “<Shit!>”

Tina

“NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Josie and Harper’s heads just popped like particularly gooey zits. Daphne did it and deserves a solid chewing out; just have to clean up the boss first. Tina moves her little Dust Devil to smack the Goo Girl. The baddie wasn’t really hurt by Tina’s tiny twister, but being pushed sufficiently to trigger Harper’s stored energy certainly does. It only takes a base level Card Blast to finish the Goo Girl off.

Daphne: +7 XP (Killed 2 Level 4 monsters, x0.444 penalty, rounded down [over-leveled], and 1 Level 6 monster, x0.667 penalty [over-leveled])

Harper: +12 XP (Killed 2 Level 4 monsters, x0.8 penalty, rounded down [over-leveled], and 1 Level 6 monster)

Josie: +11 XP (Killed 2 Level 4 monsters, x0.667 penalty, rounded down [over-leveled], and 1 Level 6 monster)

Tina: +9 XP (Killed 2 Level 4 monsters, x0.571 penalty, rounded down [over-leveled], and 1 Level 6 monster, x0.857 penalty, rounded down [over-leveled])

Then the world went dark.

Daphne

Just need a minute. Tina looks about ready to snap.

Daphne pockets the loot directly in her inventory, then pulls all three of the soon-to-be restored women into the recovery room. Her Beloved’s and Josie’s heads disturbingly grow back to normal. Daphne takes a deep breath, then drops her Hold Person a few seconds before it would naturally fade.

“You blew up their brains!”

Tina looks like she’s about to seriously break a rule. Holding up her hands, Daphne reminds her, “Look, Tina, I made a mistake, but the dungeon fixed it.”

“It’s the principle of the thing!”

“Well, if I could rely on you to be able to deal enough damage by the end of your turn, I might have been able to select something safer. Still, I will take whatever punishment you deem necessary, provided that it’s sexy enough to not break any game rules. I refuse to let my favorite customer to do something stupid enough that will get her eliminated.”

Tina turns ashen at the mention of elimination. Her ears droop. Her rage has subsided. “Fine. Sexy punishment it is, then.”

Harper

Harper groans as she wakes up with a pounding headache. She finds her bare body is laid on top of an equally grumpy looking Josie. Their eyes meet with a slight bit of confusion.

“Old lady, you get the name of the purple explosion that hit us?”

“No. You still alive, whipper-snapper?”

“Maybe. Hard to tell.”

“Just kiss already, you two! I positioned you just so for a romantic moment and you two nerds messed it up!” the bonny bunny yells from behind them.

Whatever moment Tina thought would happen just didn’t appear, Harper thinks as she gives Josie a kiss on the forehead. She winces in pain as she gets off of the wolf-girl. She makes it all of 3 steps before dizzily collapsing on the floor. The bonny bunny struggles to scoop her up, then leans her back on the couch.

“Don’t move, either of you. Someone didn’t aim her spell properly and you both took a lot of overkill damage. It’s going to be quite a bit longer than normal for either of you to bounce back. Especially you, cutie. That one hit was like twice your max HP even with you resisting. So, rest. Try not to think too hard. And kiss my wolf-girlfriend already!”

“Where’s Daphne?”

Jangling of chains draws Harper’s attention to the mermaid chained up to Tina’s bondage cross, with a metal bit in her mouth and bondage mittens on her hands. Harper feels Daphne’s Aquan moan, “<Sorry, Beloved. I miscalculated.>”

“So, How many levels did I get, old lady?”

“Josie, let her recover some first.”

“Daphne, you’re forgiven; just don’t miss like that in the real world. Tina, it’s fine. I’m fine as long as I’m sitting. Gimme my DM tablet thingy.”

Tina reluctantly hands over the tablet and Harper checks Josie’s character sheet. “You got enough XP for 2 levels, Josie. You need to pick another Feat or take an ASI.”

Josie surprises Harper by her selection, picking up the Prodigy feat to learn alchemy and Sylvan. The level-up restores Josie back to completely well; she stands up and walks over to ungag Daphne, to Tina’s annoyance. “Hey, Fish,” Josie asks, holding Daphne’s chin in her hand, “Did you get a chance to check the loot before my uppity bunny girlfriend tied you up without permission?”

“With my Beloved’s consent, there is an alchemist kit with some basic ingredients to start playing with that has your name on it.”

Josie turns to look at Harper. Harper just nods in assent. Seeing that, Josie grabs the kit and starts to walk out the room. She turns around just long enough to say, “Tina, next time something like this happens, let the old lady decide if someone needs to be tied up.”

Tina sits down by Harper and pouts. Daphne teleports to Harper’s other side and holds her hands out to get access to her fingers again. Harper awkwardly unties the bondage mittens while giving her blonde bunny a kiss on the lips. Both of her girls are happier. “So, who’s next on the leveling queue?”

“You should probably go next, Beloved, so you’ll feel better.”

Before she goes through 3 levels worth of decisions, Harper once again loads Haste onto her ring. Why waste the SP? Harper gets her Extra Attack feature, a whole slew of spells, and another Feat. She was tempted to follow Josie’s lead on Slasher, but decided to let Josie keep that part of her kit distinct. She grabs Skilled, mainly to get something in addition to +1 Dexterity. With Elven Accuracy, she’ll want a finesse long sword sooner rather than later.

Tina and Daphne both earned a level. Tina once again chooses a spell for future magic shows instead of something useful (seriously, Water Walk?) and the Durable feat just so she can finally recover some HP when resting; staying mildly injured during the last two delves annoyed her. Daphne gets the cool Polymorph ability and a couple of interesting 5th level spells (Dream and Telekinesis). Then comes the loot arguments.

“Sooo, I get all the cool loot now, right cutie?”

Daphne gives a brief explanation for the remaining loot: a transformation upgrade scroll, a potion of XP, and a magic dildo machine. Harper takes the potion, intending on giving it to Skye when it’s needed (or Dinah, if she ever wants to join in on delving). Harper insists on Tina using the scroll once she saw that it will improve her Bosom Burn for Boxum Bunnies transformation; it seems to be the only way to get her to learn some actual combat spells. Again, Tina complains about the weird strawberry cinnamon combo in the cotton candy burrito. The dildo machine is to go to Daphne, but is staying in the recovery room. While Harper doesn’t want to use it right now, she may want to at some point.

Preparation Pummeler: The preparation pummeler will help you prepare for a new day in a new way! Once a day, a caster can use the preparation pummeler to pummel out the spells prepared in the morning and allow the caster to select new spell preparations. Orgasming while being pummeled can still drain SP, so don’t enjoy it too much!

With all of that handled, Harper checks her phone. Scarlet has sent a whole bunch of demanding messages.

“Hey, Tina, you mind helping me with my date? Scarlet seems insistent that I am as beautiful as possible.”

The bonny bunny insists on helping Harper out of the door as Daphne prepares to ride the pummeler. Harper gives her beloved fish a kiss goodbye. “See you later, Daph.”

“<Love you.>”
