Preparations - day 1

"Theo~. Theo~~~." You hear someone softly call out your name in a girly, sing-song voice. One of her fingers insistently poking on your cheek to get your attention. "Time to wake up, handsome! Rise and shine!"

"Gods, you are a heavy sleeper..." The voice sighs after a little silent pause. "...Come on! Wake up!" She says, more loudly this time, planting a bunch of quick kisses all over your face in an attempt to awaken you.

"...I'm awake, I'm awake..." You groggily utter, your voice hoarse and tired. Slowly opening your eyes, you notice your succubus lover kneeling by your side, her pretty face smiling down at you. "...just give me five more minutes, please..."

"Come on, dummy. We were supposed to get up early today." Lola chuckles, grabbing one of your arms and starting to pull your body up. "Agis is going to get grumpy if you spend all day in bed."

The succubus manages to move you up to a sitting position. "Mattie is making breakfast right now, and Kara found some coffee in the store-room, that will wake you up!" She says, walking towards where your shirt is, grabbing it, and returning back to your side.

She holds your arms up and slides them into the sleeves, sitting over your lap and starting to button it up. "I'll help you dress up, honey." She smiles as she does the last button, planting a kiss on the tip of your nose before standing up again and looking around the room.

"Now, where is your underwear? ...I think I saw Kara sniffing on it a few minutes ago..."

...

A cup of coffee is exactly what you needed, you drink the brown liquid and enjoy some casual morning chat with your harem. Rhea, as expected, walks around in a funny way; her legs spread wide with a noticeable limp. "T-top o' the mornin' to ya." She awkwardly greets you with red cheeks, rubbing her sore backside as she carefully sits by your side.

You calmly eat Mathilda's breakfast, separating it into two parts: one for you and the other to use as a peace offering for your orc prisoner. Agis notices this and lets out an annoyed grunt. "Again? Theo... Did she at least tell you something that can help us? What have you two been talking about, anyway?"

"We... uhm... we been talking about a book." You softly say, a little bit of embarrassment on your words.

"What book?" Maggie suddenly asks in between chewing, some pieces of food flying off her mouth.

"...Princess Gina and the Curse of the Five Rings..."

"That's a children's book, Theo. A pretty bad one too." Maggie says with a raised eyebrow, swallowing her food before continuing. "It has serious continuity issues, the character of Cristopher has no other purpose than being a dumb comic-relief and the ending is so lazy that I almost fell asleep... I'll make you a list of books that are actually worth reading when I have time... i-if you want."

You gaze at the kitty with a dumbfounded look. "A-alright, Mag. Thank you... I still think it is a good book, though..." You chuckle, standing up with the plate of breakfast in your hand and walking towards Gina's cell.

You enter the creepy, former **** room. Rocko and Ollie stop watching over the orc girl and happily sprint towards your direction, greeting you with loud barks and swinging tails. "Hey boys!" You laugh, softly patting their heads.

"You! Could you please tell those fucking bimbo whores of yours to keep it quiet?! I'm tired of having to hear that bitch screaming things like: 'Oooh, daddeh, pwease gimme your cummies~.' all fucking night, it's not fucking cute, it's infuriating." Gina starts ranting as soon as she sees you. Her brunette hair looking disheveled, standing barefoot, her luxurious dress somewhat dirty and slightly ragged up in a few places.

"They are not bimbo whores." You say with a serious expression, pushing the plate towards her. "Don't you ever call them that again."

The orc seems a little taken back by your stern scolding, without saying another word, she simply kneels down and starts stuffing her mouth with the tasty breakfast remains.

You take a seat on your usual spot, getting comfortable and watching Gina eat. "Tell me about orcs."

"...What do you want to know?"

"Everything. Sum it up for me, please"

"Well..." She brushes food crumbs off her pinkish lips with her forearm, looking up at you with a hesitant gaze. "...We come from an island called Peejahk. There, we are divided into tribes... daddy is the chieftain of one."

Yeah, you figured that out already... "Your dad... he doesn't look like the rest of the orcs that follow him, he is much, much bigger."

"Well, duh. He is a greater orc, the rest are lesser orcs. Lesser orcs simply... appear on the island, but grater orcs are actually born from a mother and a father. These are the ones that end being chieftains."

"And what about female orcs?"

"What about them?"

"...Are they all as cute as you?" You tease without holding back a smug grin, the orc looks up at you with a weird expression, a combination of embarrassment and anger on it. Her green-skinned cheeks turning into a deep shade of red.

"Oh, f-fuck you, human! This conversation is over..." She grunts with a frown, crossing her arms and brattily looking away in indignation.

"Haha! Aw, come on, I'm just joking around."

Gina doesn't answer, with her arms still crossed she angrily turns her back on you... "Alright." You snort, rolling your eyes. "I have to go anyways. But I'll be back soon, ok?" You say, the only reply you get is a silent 'hmph' from the orc.

You sigh, patting the two goofy wolves a bit more before walking out of the secret room. "...Cute... he thinks I'm cute..." She softly says to herself, rubbing her forehead in frustration.

...

"Hel-lo Ma-ggie, how a-re ya... you? I ho-pe you a-re doin' fine... wait, I meant do-ing." Rhea slowly speaks, trying to suppress her accent as much as possible, sitting crosslegged over one of the main room's blankets with the catgirl witch standing at her side.

"Oh! I understood that! You asked me if I like eating blueberries, right?"

"Nah, lass, I..." The minotaur sighs. "You kiddin' with me, right? ...Pretty funny... I know ye can understand me perfectly... me accent isn't that thick..."

"...Well, yeah. I love blueberries. I once ate so many of them that I passed out... Can I go back to brewing my potion now?"

Rhea gives up and simply nods her head up and down with a grunt, Maggie quickly hurries towards her improvised alchemy station...

At a close distance, Agis helps you train your swordsmanship. You aren't making a fool out of yourself like yesterday, but you are still very sloppy, and you can notice that Agis is also going easy on you...
