Arrival at The Inn

"We should find somewhere to stop for the night." Said Titania.

"There is an inn not too far from here." Said Jerry, his HUD map had the way station marked as having rooms to rent, food to eat, an entertainment room, a casino, a dance floor, a fighting pit, a monster can to store and restore slaves, a shrine to the Triarchs, a grove sacred to the Lord and Lady, and an item shop. "Looks interesting."

"I have not used my Inn key for over thirty years. This will be fun." Said Titania before using her heels to kick some speed into her mount.

Jerry found an option on his map function to Fast Travel. When Jerry double clicked to set the upcoming inn as his destination, the world transformed into a blur as the speed of Jerry's dire wolf increased well nearly twenty fold. Bellanna squeezed her master tightly as they blew past Titania. They would have left her in the dust had Jerry not found a way to include her in the travel effect. The elf ranger screamed in shock, fear, then excitement as the redhead embraced the thrill of going faster than she had ever been before.

Jerry saw the flyers descending onto the way station just before the fast travel started wearing off and Jerry felt his dire wolf slowing from faster than a formula one racer to a light trot. As their pace reached a relatively sedate velocity that still would have been breaking the speed limit on any road Jerry had driven with his old car, the two dire wolves were overtaken by four riders mounted on what looked to Jerry like either giant birds or feathered dinosaurs. Whatever they were, they leapt over Jerry and Titania, their wings spread allowing them to glide through the air and land a dozen meters ahead of the wolf riders and continue on at breakneck speed without losing a beat. All the whole Jerry heard the four riders laughing with joy and hollering with excited glee.

Jerry and Titania arrived at the inn as the sun turned the amber crimson of twilight. The elf ranger's red hair was windswept and her smile was slightly bigger than usual. "Not that I am complaining." said Titania, the ranger wobbled slightly as she struggled to get her footing after going faster than she had known it was possible for a person to go while riding such a low quality mount. "but next time let a girl know before you use speed magic."
They commanded their dire wolves to assume their humanoid forms and called them together. "In the can." Titania commanded her hounds, pointing to the contraption next to the entrance of the inn. The two wolf men whimpered but wordlessly walked up to the device that looked to Jerry a bit like someone welded a vending to a backyard still. The wolves meekly opened the door of the copper cylinder and closed it behind them. There was a flash of light from inside the chamber, a cry of pain from the enslaved monster, before the machine printed what looked to Jerry like a receipt.

The three wolves that Jerry owned looked nervously at the machine and at their owner. Silently, they pleaded to not have to put themselves inside of the machine. Jerry wanted to tell them that they would not have to go through with it, but then read the sign on the inn's entrance that stated that patrons were restricted to a single body **** on the premise and that guests should lock their chattel in a containment vessel or may take advantage of the complementary monster storage can with full restoration services included. "It is for your own good." Jerry reasoned aloud. The dire wolves could not argue and one by one they enclosed themselves inside the dark claustrophobic cylinder and tried not to think about how much it hurt to be forcefully compressed into immaterial form and shunted into a pocket prison dimension.

"You should really can her." said Titania to Jerry as the elf ranger looked Bellanna up and down with a side eye. "'Better to be seen with no body **** than a gauche body ****.'" quoted the elf ranger.
"I think I would feel better having her watching our backs. After all, having her shield to put between you and the bad guys came in handy once already, am I right?" asked Jerry, to which Titania had no answer.

Bellanna was honored and relieved. Honored that Master had chosen to use her as his body ****, and relieved to be spared having to spend even one moment inside that can. The human and elf could not sense it, but to monsters like her, the containment can exuded an aura of dread. Its presence seemed to **** the orc woman's mind to focus on how bad things can get and the dire consequences of displeasing her owner.

Jerry paused for a moment to stare at the line up of goblins in front of the front door. The diminutive green skin specimens wore price tags around their necks. "Need a new **** good master?" asked one of them. "Just fifteen links and I am all yours. Not even a half-chain. I promise I am worth it." the goblin said as she shook her substantial breasts around and winked at the prospective buyer.
"The good master is obviously a man of taste, he is not going to pick an ugly sow like you when he would prefer a refined lady of exquisite beauty." said another of the goblin girls who were now beginning to form a crowd around Jerry.
"Away. Shoo. He is not buying any of you, you cheap sluts." said Titania as she put the three inch spike heels of her sandals to work kicking the four and a half foot tall green skins out of their way. Titania rolled her eyes and shrugged. "goblins, right?" then walked through the door of the inn.

The inn's check in desk was on the opposite end of a large open room with many branching doors and alcoves to either side of incoming patrons. Jerry could hear the sounds and smell the aromas of sex and gambling. Before Jerry could stop and locate the source of the excitement, Titania walked up to the desk and rang a bell.

"Welcome good master, good mistress. How can we be of service?" asked the mouse girl dressed in the maid outfit who came out upon hearing guests ring for her.
"We need two adjoining doors for the night, and my companion needs to rent a room key." said Titania.
"Of course. No trouble." said the mousy desk clerk. "That will be twenty four links, please."
Titania could not hide her surprise when Jerry paid the fee without hesitating. "I thought you were broke, not a link to your name." said Titania.
Jerry shrugged. "not entirely broke." Jerry said as if to settle the issue.
"Doors five and six." said the mouse maid placing two crystal wafers on the counter one with a with 'V' engraved on it and the other with a 'VI'. Titania grabbed the VI wafer and socketed the crystal into a key she pulled from her inventory.
By the time Jerry was handed his key, Titania was already running up the stairs to the loft where she disappeared through door VI. "Here you are, good master." said the mouse maid. "our rental rooms come with a complementary concubine and a ten link credit at the bar and casino. Enjoy your stay and if you need anything do not hesitate to scry." the mouse girl smiled at Jerry, then added. "Abby Rodent. My name is Abby Rodent if you, umm, you wanted to, you know, umm, if you wanted me. Ask for Abby Rodent."
"Umm, thanks." said Jerry before he hurried up the steps Bellanna in tow.

Jerry unlocked the door and walked into a suite that was definitely bigger on the inside. "This is some TARDIS shit." Jerry whispered under his breath.
"What was that, Master?" asked Bellanna.
"Nothing, just surprised how nice the room is." said Jerry, taking the green skinned warrior by the hand to explore the rooms they would be sharing.
There was a full kitchen with fridge, a magic oven that also worked as a microwave and air fryer stove, and sink. A bathroom with a walk in shower and jacuzzi both big enough for eight people. A steam room, a sauna, and makeup station.
There was a lounge where there hung an enchanted sheet of canvas that to Jerry seemed to act like a flatscreen TV with full 3D effects, but without the need for any annoying 3D glasses. There was an office with a desk that had a similar sheet of magic parchment that could display and manipulate working holograms with height, width, and depth.
There was the master bedroom with a king sized bed.

"The wonders of modern magitech, right?" said Bellanna. "Ummm. Would Master like me to prepare him a bath?"

Before Jerry could answer, there was a knock at the door. It took Jerry a moment to realize that the knock was not coming from the entrance, but from a door in the corner. The knocking continued, Jerry opened the door to see Titania standing in the threshold between their rooms wearing nothing.
"I never did get the chance to thank you." said Titania. The elf ranger reached her arms up to wrap around Jerry's neck. Jerry glances inside her room and is surprised to see that where is room is sparsely decorated and decorated to match the rustic style of the inn with hardwood floors that show off the natural grain of the wood, Titania's room was decorated like a college girl with her own apartment for the first time with fluffy pink carpets and walls covered with posters for what Jerry assumed with the elf equivalents of posters for movies and boy bands. Jerry's view was cut off when Titania pressed her lips into Jerry's mouth.
