Wind down.

It's been quite the day so far. You've spent much of it behind the viewfinder of a magical camera, but you're not here to complain. Your YiivCam has witnessed and captured views more stunning and gorgeous than a priceless painting, some of which would permanently alter the brain chemistry of the commonfolk, or in some cases, shift the tides of culture as people know it. Within your hands is the captured, magically digitized shoot of two creator gods with naked bodies intertwined, as well as several swimsuits more risque than even the Empire of Tivera is used to seeing.

Most importantly, everyone seems to be having fun. Between the entrance behind the curtains, in front and behind, are all the girls from before laughing and mingling, subtracting a few who have already departed to elsewhere--K'iina, Aak'aba, Feli, Lepo, and the Lady of the Lake. They come and go often, so this isn't a surprise. It would actually have shocked you more if Lepo and Feli were still present, given how lustfully they gazed into each other's eyes the last you saw them.

Fang steps up to you, still clad in her swimsuit just as the others are, and looks to you with a smug grin. She raises up a hand, clutching it around a thick, cylindrical, non-existent object. She twitches her fingers, pretending as if the invisible shape were pulsating. "Well?" she asks.

"Well?" you repeat back to her.

"After all that, is your cock bulging? Veiny, throbbing, ready to blow..."

"How horny are you?"

She laughs. "I'm just saying. If I had one, that's how I'd be right now."

You turn past her to the sound of the curtain wall partly toppling to the ground. Lynx is laid out flat, with an overly excitable Jelly squishing down onto her back. The girls nearly gasp, covering up quickly, as some were caught in the midst of undressing from their bikinis to put back on their regular clothes.

"W-Watch it! And now your boobs are crushing my head," Lynx barks back at the translucent girl on top of her.

Jelly, who seems to have an abnormally large bosom right now, sits up and laughs. "Sorry about that! They got so heavy that I fell right over."

"Pull the curtain back up!" screams Malakae. "I can't believe this. First I'm to change out in the open, by myself, and now--"

Fang perks up. She sprints back in that direction, calling out, "I can help you! Let me help!"

"That's not what I meant. Get the hell away from me, you cat!"

After watching them for a short while, the hairs on the back of your neck stand on-end. Your eyes widen. After a short breath, you turn to the presence you suddenly felt, just as a golden ring is tracing itself through the air as if from nowhere.

The circle's light is bright, though it doesn't last thing. A moment later, the glow is replaced by a window straight through space to another location afar. You peer through it and see three familiar faces. Thankfully, you're able to breathe a sigh of relief, as it wasn't danger you were sensing. The figures standing through the portal are Lady Vex, Masumi, and Kashura Saylinor, the latter of which stands with arms in the air--golden bracelets illuminated with powerful magic.

Vex looks just as you saw her last--slim crop top with a sequin red and pink horned skull and fingerless gloves--though now visible as a pair of pale blue, nearly white, booty shorts. As always, she walks around barefoot. Her deadly maw snaps down upon a half-eaten apple as she steps through the portal without saying a word. She looks around, nods, shrugs, and then swallows the mouthful of fruit. "Seems the same as last time."

"We're always building," you reply.

"Nothing cool though. You should construct a giant statue of yourself or something."

Behind her comes Masumi. Her half-lidded eyes could easily trick one in to believing she's sleepy or apathetic, though in reality you can see her golden eyes shifting about--always observing, always planning. Her presence is quiet yet powerful. She's a mature, gorgeous woman with luscious, long, red hair, and twitching fox-like ears, each tipped with white fluff. The kimono she wears today is white with elaborate red and gold twitching along the trim. It's short up her legs, and it rests so loosely on her body that one shoulder has slipped entirely free. Her massive melons are kept covered purely by the power of luck. That's how most people would see it anyway. You have the feeling that everything she does is intentional.

Her heels tap against the stone road as she steps up beside her mistress. A cloud of red and white follows in her wake--nine tails, thick and soft, making it nearly impossible to hide her identity as the rare kitsune. She then stands silently with a warm smile drawn across her face, and hands crossed politely over her waist.

Right after that, Kashura hops through. With a wave of her hand, the portal closes, and the light from her bracers fades as their passage disappears. She's the only one wearing the exact same outfit as when you first met. Her figure is squeezed right by a full deep purple bodysuit of nylon--decorated by faint jagged lines--that does little to hide her skin beneath, though on top of it, she wears a blue crop-top and a matching pair of shorts. Her shoes are pointed, and two chains adorn her neck--one with the pendant of a pink cat, the other a blue moon. Behind her is a high-collar cloak enchanted to billow subtly even without a hint of wind. On top of her head of long, green hair is a pointed cap that's definitely one size too large. She's short, though busty, and looks you over thoroughly with an emerald gaze.

You look to the black and pink wand she keeps on her belt and remember the good times.

Perhaps she can read your face, because a hint of pink appears in her cheeks a moment after. She glances away, scoffing as if nothing happened.

"Anyway, we've arrived!" Lady Vex shouts. Then she peeks past you. "What the heck is going on here? Some kinda party I missed?"

"You gotta have fun before a mission."

She grins. "All right. That's a fair enough answer."

"Here, I wanna show you something. Take this first," you say before digging into your pocket. You withdraw a spare FONE, and hand it over to her. "This is what I was talking about before. See my name on there? You can use this to communicate with me anytime. The more names you have on there, the more people you can contact."

"No shit," she says, taking it into her hand. She slides her fingers down the front.

"Now check this out."

You lead her to the YiivCam, still on its tripod. "This can capture whatever it sees, and print it as pictures. Somehow the introducing of this thing led to a full-blown swimsuit photo shoot. That's what was going on here."

She leans in to inspect it closely. "Sorry for saying you had nothing cool. Way to shut me up. So you're saying this thing contains the view of every girl here in a bikini? No idea how that works."

"We'll be printing some of them out. It'll make more sense then."

"Wish I came here earlier! I'd have joined you."

"Posing in a swimsuit you mean?"

"Yeah. Why not? I'm cute as hell."

Masumi then chuckles. Her eyes open wider as she looks her mistress over. "I can help with that, if you'd like."

"Oh, uh--"

"Unless you were lying just now."

"No way. Kyle, I have no idea what I'm doing here, so I need you to guide me. Once I'm suited up, tell me where to go. It isn't a swimsuit party without Lady Vex after all."

You turn past them to see Kashura seemingly posing purely for practice while nobody is looking.

She looks back to you mid-pose and says, "What are you looking at?"

"Are you joining too?" you ask.

"Well, I--" Pondering the idea seems to have flustered her.

Vex laughs. "You're the world's most beautiful and powerful sorceress, right? Then come on. Throw on a bikini and get your picture taken, or however this works."

"Interesting logic," you comment.

With a sudden look of determination, Kashura plants her hands on her hips and looks to you. "Understood. You need me, don't you, Kyle? I'll grant you the blessing of seeing me in a swimsuit, if only to prove my majesty."

"Guess the logic worked," you add. Then your eyes turn to Masumi. "I hope you're joining too."

Her smile widens. "Of course," she says. "I wouldn't be so cruel as to deny you of the sight."
