Round 1 Day 1 Part 4: Dinner

"Come on Katie how often do you get the chance to do a museum heist." Miri begged as Pandi, Katie and her exited the shuttle that took them to the hanger where the Labrys was docked.

"Look I'm not going to stop you from doing this, but giving the situation that we are in unless you get everyone else on bored there isn't much I can do. Remember that I have to go on dates with the others."

"I mean we can figure something out for my date then." Pandi retorted.

"Honestly, its probably better for me to know less, keeping up OpSec and shit like that. All I ask is that the two of you stay safe whatever you do."

With the screeching sound of gears the ship's doors opened to the arcade-circus hybrid atmosphere of the Labrys. "Welcome home Captain!" Labrys Seraph greeted. "The time is currently 6:30 PM ship time. You and Ms. Chitose will be required to retire to you quarters in thirty minutes. We have taken care of connecting Ms. Chitose's closet to you room, Do you have any preferences for dinner?"

Katie gave a look over to Miri, the writer just shrugged. "Pizza is fine." The captain replied. As the pair began heading towards the Captain's Quarters they came across Mickey and Odie who were sitting down at a table playing a card game. They were both wearing something that could only be called clothing in the abstract, rainbow hemp belts tied around the chest and the waist. Odie gave a wave when she noticed Miri and the captain.

They entered the suite to the sight of all the other Katies engaged in their own projects. Cocktail Katie head went towards the bathroom while Mesh Katie collapsed on the couch. "So what do you want to do?"

"Take a shower, we have been on our feet all day." Miri said as she began to strip off her clothes. "How is it?"

Showed the captain her pussy. 3 VP!

"Well its big enough for seven bodies so go for it." Miri began to leave, "Take your clothes with you. I don't care if the ship will clean up don't leave you shit on the floor in my room." Katie yelled from the couch. The shower had the Applecore aesthetics that Katie hated. The centerpiece of the room was a decent sized bath that receded into the floor of the room. The three walls that flank the bath all had a trio of shower heads. All of this was without ordainment or flourishes creating a room that virtually glowed in the soft pink light that Labrys interior exuded before the captain's changes. Cocktail Katie was already undressed and under one of the shower heads letting the steam begin to build up in the room.

"You didn't change the bathroom?" Miri asked when she moved to a shower head next to the cocktail captain.

"I couldn't find anything I liked for a bathroom." She remarked lathering up the shampoo in her hair. After about five minutes in silence Katie spoke up, "How are you doing? You've listened to me complain all day but you all have it worse than I do, so if you want to lay into me, its the least I can do."

Miri raised her arms to the shower head, when she pulled at it extended from the wall with soft moan that had no clear point of emanation. The writer's eyebrows rose in quiet shock before she quickly turned the still active shower head onto her friend's face. "Loosen up. I'm ok. More than a little lost, but I got you and Pandi at the very least."

Once out of the shower the pair met with the rest of the Katies at the dinner table. It was had what looked like pepperoni but had a dark green color. A note left next to the pizza read We order the ingredients domestically, the green meat is the local equivalent of a pig. - Labrys Seraph

Miri didn't bother reading and devoured a slice before any Katie could react. It was pizza, maybe a little more savory than normal but perfectly adequate nonetheless. "Its fine. Just take a bit." The writer said in between bites. The Katie collective grabbed their own slices and grimaced through it refusing to let the food go to waste. "So do you have Netflix here?"

"Yeah we do, I also some local channels come through too." Lipple Katie responded through her eponymous feature.

"Oh that sounds fun, anything stand out?"

"I don't know, I was just flipping through channels while we were showering."

"Let's watch Die Hard!"

"We are on an alien planet with all sorts of opportunities for new media experiences and you want to watch Die Hard?" Lipple Katie said while Tentacle Katie activated the TV. The room became pitch black, the only lighting was found on the floor, the furniture, and doors bright enough to highlight their location.

"Don't say shit like you weren't going to just find some porn to put on." Lipple Katie stuck out all three of her tongues as they all pilled on to the couch. Unfortunately for the captain's idealism the channels none of the channels available showcased anything more than the usual selection of police procedurals, news and game shows. They stopped on some sports channel that was going over the stats of some recent Conferi competitors. "Can we put on Die Hard now?"

The captain acquiesced to the request, starting the movie. On a separate panel, Katie brought up the ship upgrade menu and bought the Conferi Affiliate Perk. The transaction went over as expected except for a message: This upgrade will be applied overnight. "Huh that's different."

"What is?"

"I bought that upgrade I talked about this morning. It said it would be applied overnight." The various bodies started picking at their hair.

"I wouldn't worry about it. Do you have some pumps in here." Miri started to paw at her chest, the tightness growing there was being to be irritating.

"There should be something in the bathroom. Oh you don't want my help?" A tentacle coiled around the writer's waist from behind and flicked her ear.

"Maybe another day, I'm still trying to prepare myself for fucking you."

"Yep," Katie laughed. "I know we promised to marry each other if neither found someone by thirty but I don't how to go about this."

"Well you take your fingers..." The collective quickly barraged her friend with pillows. After digging herself out of her pillow prison, she left to see if she could be pumped. With the press of another button Katie the couch they had been on flattened and expanded. The dark leather morph changing in firmness into something much softer. The collective felt themselves sink into new material. Covers extended from the sides of the new bed frame. Katie had a couple of her bodies smoothed out the silk sheets trying to kill time.

The irregular moaning originating from the bathroom confirmed that Miri found pumps. Approximately twenty minutes pass and Miri returned with a lightness in her steps. She got into the bed with little fanfare. Two of the Captain's bodies that were still awake flanked her on both sides. Exhausted the pair muttered something inaudible as they fell asleep.
