Drinks and Plots at Friend's Hall

"So, why do you call it, Friend's Hall?" Asked Sans, tasting deeply of the fermented sugar. It was pleasant of course, and the Oni had offered an entire variety of beverages and foods of all sorts when she had mentioned that she might like something to enjoy. It felt a bit like sitting in the home of someone she should hate, but there was no malice in the demon's broad smile and boisterous manner. She felt almost like she could understand the Oni, a little.

"That's my name," Ketsueki slurred slightly, taking another gulp from the large container that she used. Not exactly ladylike, she knew, but one of the problems of Oni strength and stamina was the need to consume far more **** than normal to enjoy even the slightest buzz. The Jug was good for at least a nice glow. "Well, I mean, my last name... it loses something in the translation." She burped slightly. "So, how bout you, sweetheart... Zit... Xitloy... Ahhh... Zitleeloy, right? Where did you come from, you cute thing. Heh, if I wasn't a happily married woman..."

"Oh, so... you like me too, huh?" Xitlaly smiled, not even minding the butchering of her name. "Xit...Lah...Lee..." she pronounced each syllable slowly and precisely, before deciding that the Oni wasn't too bad after all. A bit aggressive, and very blunt, perhaps, but she had an annoying way of riling you up without really meaning to. Xitlaly could almost feel the aggression and power coming off the woman. Sans was somewhat similar, but the power seemed to flow into her. Every little plant she stepped near seemed to energize her, revitalizing her. No wonder she didn't like sitting in a wooden home. It must feel like being on a fast. "Anyway, I'm quite familiar with married women and helping them with their mates. Maybe after all this is over, you and your mate can come for a visit?"

"Ooooh, you're that... that... gal..." Ketsueki smacked her head, and looked over towards Sans with a wink, who returned a puzzled look. "She's the girl who... gives all the Monster Girls the Love Doctor routine." She giggled, "Didn't rec... hic..." Perhaps she had been having a...wait was this the second jug or the third? "Huyup... recognize her with the pretty hat on... Could totally use one like that for dramatic effect..." Sans shrugged before taking another sip.

"I don't know, you don't seem like the witch hat type to me," Xitlaly smiled, taking another sip of the lovely... well whatever it was it tasted good, and was starting to affect her a bit. "Maybe... something over your eyes. You could take it off, flip the hair, and totally do the bad girl walk..."

"The what now?" Sans, looked on confused, "She's sitting, not walking..." She scooted closer to the imposing demon girl. There was something about the energy that she gave off that felt, well, powerful. Not like the plants and animals of the forest... not exactly, it reminded her a bit of a large predator, but somehow hidden beneath a layer of ink and magical sybols.

"Bad girl walk... " Xitlaly stood, placing her drink on the floor. She flipped her hair with a quick toss of the head and then stepped forward, carefully striding each step to show the exquisite lines of her legs. "You know, totally a... I'm sexy but don't mess with me."

"Hahaha... don't have to do that to show I'm sexy..." Ketsueki grinned, "Just have to wear something without sleeves and the men notice right away. " She gestured to the exquisite tattoos that decorated her ruddy skin. It was nowhere near the bright red it had been during the incident in the street, but it was a warm glow, content but excited.

"Intriguing... most decorative, you did these markings yourself?" Sans asked, sliding her hand across the Oni's smooth skin. It was quite a contrast, her green fingers tracing over the red surface. Ketsueki didn't mind the touching, it felt like tingle little waves of warmth rippling through her arm into her center causing her to sigh. That drink may be one too many, for the effects were starting to reach her.

"Yes, well most of them were of my design. Few of them were started by my mother. She... well, she started teaching me a few practices before I perfected them on my own."

"Right, your mother. The history between you two isn't a smooth road is it?" Xitlaly asked, getting a read on Ketsueki's past. Her demeanor, her appearance, the tattoo of a coupling marked around her ring finger, small hints of who she is built up a sizable image to the doll's eyes.

Her shoulders dropped noticeably before pulling her arm away from the wandering eyes of the dryad. "Not something I prefer to share, if you don't mind doc."

"That's alright, and just Xitlaly works. I'm not a doctor really, just a girl who listens." The Oni smiled, it was subtle but the slight corners of her lips displayed a concealed bit of hope in her. Perhaps a change of topic was in order? "Well, I can tell your mystery hubby is one lucky guy. Though I feel sorry for him if ever he catches you on a bad mood. You leave him like you did with Joss?"

"Please!" Ketsueki laughed. "Not as bad as Miss Goddess of the Trees over here. You have someone special in your life too, Sands? Bet it's the way he crooks his branches for you, that mahogany wood... oooh, just teasing you with those leaves huh?"

Sans smiled back, reaching for her cup and taking in another gulp. "Mmm, no nothing like that. It's Sans, not sands for a start. My heart does belong to one yes, not a tree but a man, the most handsome, daring, courageous man with a silly childish attitude to him. The body of a man with the heart of a toddler, a simple soul dare I say."

"Oooh, so you do get out now and then? Don't leave us in suspense, tell us more!" Ketsueki scooted closer, her arms rubbing against the Dryad's while holding her cup with both hands. Whatever she was drinking, Sans could smell it in her breath.

"Well, we met when I was but a youngling myself bathing in the waterfall below. I was alone, cleaning myself of course when a young silver haired boy was watching me."

"Well, odd way to meet your love." Ketsueki added before being shushed by Xitlaly.

"You would think that, wouldn't you? We were at that age when our bodies begin to change, when we start to grow and explore, when-"

"When our lives start to get more fun!" Ketsueki hiccuped before giggling, getting pushed by Sans.

"Do I get to share my story or not?"

"Sorryyyy, sorry. I like it, a lot. Just..." She displayed her empty cup on the table for them both to see. "Had a lot to drink s'all."

"Please, go on Sans. I'd love to hear more." Xitlaly smiled, hand on her chin.

"He shouted, 'I am not a pervert, but you should be weary of finding one!' and his voice spooked me to a point where I lost my footing and fell." Sans chuckled.

Ketsueki scoffed before covering her mouth. Xitlaly was next to snicker. Then all bets were off when even Sans was having difficulty containing her laughter. At some point in their moment, one of Ketsueki's men came by to place another large jug on their table, making sure to refill all three cups before leaving. Sans was the first to go for another sip.

"Well, that was quite a fun turn of events. Then what, he swooped in, pulled you out from drowning and became your shining knight in armor?" Xitlaly asked.

"Well, not exactly no," Sans brushed her hair back, blushing at the memory of him explaining to her what he can do and how he would be the greatest Monster Hunter ever who would only go after the bad monsters and save the good ones like her. She sighed happily, how I miss my beloved.

"Gosh, sure got your heart latched onto him huh? But you said you were barely teens then, had any other before him?" She shook her head, surprising Ketsueki who showed no attempt to hide it. "Really!? Well what do you do to-hic! Have fun?"

"Have fun?" Sans tilted her head to which Xitlaly added in. "She means like, relieving yourself. Like, finding self satisfaction. Like-"

"Like fingering yourself when your horny, or getting off!" Ketsueki blurted out, catching all of her men's attention. Suddenly a hollering laughter echoed from around the girls' table, making Xitlaly blush in embarrassment.

"I do not follow."

"Oh. My. Gosh. You haven't had sex yet, have you?" She turned to Xitlaly with drunken eyes, "We have a code red, we need to get her off stat! Come on, love doctor, work your sexual ways and help show her what heaven is like!"

"It's not like that, and really b-" She blinked, feeling the table shift suddenly... no wait, no one was moving... bleh, even she was beginning to feel tingly on her skin. "Whew, Ketsueki what did you have us drink?"

"Do tell, I feel.... different inside, like a glowing sensation spreading from my chest to my fingertips." Sans agreed, as Ketsueki hugged her arm tight and giggled.

"Just some good stuff to get to know your friends, that's all hehe. So you know, maybe we can like.. put that counseling of yours to the test with her, yea? A woman who never touched herself would be quite the adventurrrrrre."

Xitlaly blushed, shaking her head when Sans surprised her next. "If this adventure would benefit the love between I and my beloved, then I would love to participate. May I see to this ritual if you were to do me the honors, friends?"

"Friends... oh yea, we're definitely about to be close friends." Ketsueki winked at Xitlaly.

The doll could only blush in return as she agreed. "Real close."
