Protein and Power-Ups

Harper

Harper is happy to be back in the Master Suite. She arose from her reverie a couple of hours ago and, having very little to do while her companions slept, could really only check her phone for notifications, texts, and forum messages. Next time, bring a book? A quick Misty Step later, she pushes Tina and Daphne to cuddle with each other then heads to the pool for her morning “gotta soak the gills so she can keep breathing” constitutional. Then, she went back to wake up her bedmates. She didn’t want to be rude, but a certain elf is very insistent on getting her levels this morning.

“5 more minutes, Mom.” Tina murmurs.

“So much squid.” Daphne murmurs.

Deciding to give them the requested 5 more minutes, Harper quickly does a simple make-up job and gets the morning coffee orders ready. Tina’s silly vaguely coffee tainted sugar drink in hand, Harper yells, “<Wake Up!>” in Aquan. The reverberating rumbling wakes them up for real. Harper hands Tina her drink.

“Thanks, cutie, I guess. What time is it?”

“‘Bout 7:30. I have stuff to deal with downstairs, so I didn’t want to just leave you to wake up without me.” Harper hands Daphne a cup of squid ink.

“Is this some of your not-salty enough black water?”

“Try it.”

Daphne takes a sip, then quickly glugs the rest down, adding, “Thanks, Beloved! You know just what I want!”

Harper fires off a text to Aelene, then sips her cold-brew as the trio start to head downstairs. They do not make it all that far down the stairs before Tina has to stop them.

“Damn, Harper, Aelene looks so hot like that! And Skye showed up in that one, too! Oooooh, we got a statue from last night! I would have preferred ours to show off when I took you missionary style with the Baby Carrot, but me riding you is pretty good. I love how my tits look, smooshed into yours. Thoughts?”

Harper gives an enhanced kiss to her bonny bunny and comments, “You always look good Tina. You are really going to comment on these statutes every time?”

“Yes. Yes, I will.”

“Betrothed,” Aelene shouts from the bottom of the stairs, “Hurry up! I need my Levels!”

Rolling her eyes, Harper drags the bunny down. Daphne follows along. Aelene is pacing the way Harper remembers from back home (at least in her adopted adulthood) whenever the high elf is frustrated. And Skye is crawling towards the sea elf, a blank look of mindless devotion in her eyes. It hurts to see her wife like this.

Aelene picks up the problem, “Lady Skye used her transformation on herself last night. It is way worse when she is the only one affected.”

Skye starts to attempt to lap at Harper’s sex. Harper pushes Skye away as gently as she can. Skye moves to start kissing Harper’s feet instead (which Harper begrudgingly tolerates).

“We are going to do something about this.”

“Lady Skye wanted to test it. I’m sure she will be upgrading it to make it less problematic tomorrow.”

“Good. Take care of her today, please.”

“I will as I have already promised her, Lady Harper. My levels?”

Four levels in basically one day? How? Harper gets over the shock and handles Aelene’s leveling. The high elf really only has a feat selection to make, as everything else is pretty standard for a fighter. Aelene settles on taking the Sentinel feat without the extra transformation baggage. Her extra attack improved to 3 hits a turn, indomitable and her new mirror knight feature are both good defensive abilities. Overall, Aelene should be able to defend the others much better now.

“Daph, can you check on Skye’s mental state and see if she can do her leveling now?”

Her mermaid answers soon enough after some telepathic examination. “Probably not. She’s too out of it.”

Harper silently berates herself. I should have thought through that transformation. That vague bit in the end is way worse than what it sounds like. This feels worse than what I tweaked away from Dinah’s. She scoops up her bride and starts to carry her to the cafeteria. Skye, for her part, covers Harper’s face and neck with kisses. It almost makes it okay. Almost. The others follow behind.

Skye has to be held back as Harper heads to the kitchen. She may not be the best cook, but the others need breakfast and she aims to deliver.

Josie

Josie is irritated this morning. So is Scarlet, who is waiting by Josie’s door.

“Made a decision, Josie?” Scarlet asks, with a little more bite than the wolf-girl hopes the oread intended.

“I want to work it out with Tina today. I’ll be good.”

“Good. You and her are coming with on my date. Understood?”

“Yeah. You need a romp before breakfast? I could use one.”

Instead of answering with words, Scarlet pushes Josie into her dorm room door and starts to finger the wolf-girl. The oread murmurs, “No powers, just natural sex.” into Josie ear and starts to nibble on it. Josie starts to finger Scarlet back, groping her ass with her other hand. Scarlet opens the door and the two, still trying to get each other off, shuffle back to Josie’s bed. Getting off will certainly help me getting along with the Rabbit. I hope this trip will be enough to fix it. Fix us.

Mattie

“Where’s Sarge, Tina?”

“Making breakfast for all of us,” Blondie responds. Teeth is trying to soothe Mrs. Skye as Nerves holds her back from the kitchen door. The soldier heads into the kitchen. Someone should help Sarge cook.

“Hey, Sarge,” Mattie greets, “What can I do to help?”

The sea elf points at a pile of fruit. “You mind washing, cutting, and weighing out some fruit? Looking for about 100 grams for each serving.”

“Sure,” Mattie agrees, already getting to work. She takes a few minutes to get into a Kitchen Patrol groove, then she asks, “You doing okay?”

“Not happy about Skye’s rope transformation right now. Hurts to see the implications. You?”

“I’m a little disappointed in my performance yesterday. Got ambushed by some frog ladies and knocked out of the fight. And I’m not sure if Doc is ever going to really listen to me. So, not as great as I’d like.”

Harper shoves a set of ramekins into the oven and sets a timer. She then turns to face the soldier and asks, “What can I do to help?”

“You can help level me up.”

Harper pulls out her DM tablet and starts to walk Mattie through the process. Harper talks her into taking a couple of Rogue levels this time round. Something about getting to her subclass features. She got a bunch of other options for her “bonus action” (Help, Aim, find weaknesses). The extra HP should help too. Harper helps with the fruit until the timer goes off. Pulling out the ramekins, Mattie is mildly impressed with Harper’s cute little baked egg dishes, laid out to cool for a few minutes.

“Those look pretty okay, Sarge.”

“Glad you approve.”

“Ready to face all of them yet?”

Harper sighs, “A few more minutes, Mattie, a few more minutes.”

Scarlet

“Sorry, Daph, but I need to take Tina and Josie with me.”

“It’s okay. But you owe me a first date tomorrow.”

Satisfied that she hasn’t offended her new girlfriend too much (life just keeps getting more complicated), Scarlet surveys the breakfast table. Tina and Josie are awkwardly staring at each other. Skye is acting like a particularly clingy puppy, desperately trying to crawl over to the kitchen. Daphne is trying to pet her to calm her down and Aelene is firmly holding Skye in place. Harper and Mattie exit the kitchen with breakfast. Harper sits down by Aelene and allows Skye to crawl into the sea elf’s lap, who begins to rub and kiss her. Harper sighs, looking uncomfortable, but allows it. Mattie serves what looks like Harper’s typical breakfast to everyone (setting out a breakfast at an empty seat for Dinah), then sits down herself. People start to eat, the cafeteria filled with the clanks of silverware for a few moments.

Harper breaks the relative silence, “Skye, I need you to eat.” Skye pouts, but turns around and starts on her breakfast, grinding into Harper’s lap the whole time. The sea elf gently brushes Skye’s hair and directs her attention to the table, “Soooo, what’s everyone’s plan today?”

“Outside of taking care of Skye and maybe looking for some upgrades, I want to take Daphne to the library. The librarian is not doing well right now and Daphne may wish to mourn.” Aelene starts.

“Oh, Mom,” Daphne sniffs, starting to tear up a little, “I really should check on her. I also wanted to learn that card game you played on your date. You know, so we’d be able to do something together on a quiet night?”

Mattie has a sneaky little grin on her face, “Cards? I can teach you, Teeth. We’d used to play in college. Maybe the three of us could get a delve in to help me catch up?”

Skye, having finished her breakfast, slips out of Harper’s lap and kneels in between her legs. Harper starts to gently push Skye away from her sea cave, but, when Skye starts to sob, relents. Harper lets out a little gasp, then turns to Scarlet, breathier, “What’s the plan for today?”

“It’s a surprise. Tina and Josie will be joining us. Any chance you can level us before we go?”

Harper pulls out the DM tablet and notes that both Josie and Scarlet have enough XP for 2 levels. Tina pouts a little (they apparently didn’t earn any XP on her date), but Harper gets to work, distracted by the drow’s ministrations. Josie gets the berserker “too angry to die” feature, plus blindsight for her feat. Scarlet chose the elemental adept feat for her fire damage and also got the ability to use her pulse features more while performing a flurry of blows. Finally, pulse of pain will actually be worth using in combat.

“I’ll hold off on mine until just before we leave,” Harper gasps, “since I’m pretty sure Skye is going to actually get me off soon. Please.” Harper, starting to lose it, presses Skye’s face deeper into her crotch. She whines as Skye goes harder. “So, if anyone not going on the date want to earn some VP, let me know.” She starts to squeeze on Skye’s head and buck into her face. “Sorry, Skye. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.” With a scream, Harper cums all over Skye’s face.

Skye: +2 VP (Brought Mistress to Orgasm [Lick Lower Lips to Leaking], x2 bonus [First Time Slut Participant], x0.5 penalty [magically compelled])

Skye crawls out from under the table, face dripping with femcum. She beams as she kneels beside the sea elf. Harper looks ashamed of herself as she comes down. “Sorry, Skye,” she mumbles again.

“If it makes you feel better, Lady Harper, I would have happily done the same yesterday if you let me.”

“It doesn’t, Aelene, but thanks for trying.”

Dinah

Dinah was hoping that the others would have headed to the morning meeting already. She was wrong.

“Hey, Dinah, Harper made breakfast. Come and eat.” Scarlet shout-invites.

Seeing no way to get out of it, Dinah trudges over to the breakfast table and pecks at her food. It’s good, if a little protein heavy for her taste. Scarlet and her annoying roommate try to engage with her, but she does her best to ignore them. Dinah does note that Harper is avoiding eye contact, mostly giving her brief glances as she talks to the others. Waiting for me to make the first move? Fat chance.

Soon enough, everyone heads to the bathhouse, where Ariel awaits, trying to hide puffy red eyes with a **** grin. Daphne starts to dive into the pool, only to be stopped by Harper grabbing her shoulder gently. The fish pouts, but stays out of the scented water.

“Welcome back to Harem Hotel! Tina, did you have fun on your date yesterday?”

“Yup! I’m a college graduate now!”

Dinah’s not the only one to laugh, but she was certainly one of them. Tina complains, “Hey! Harper told me that my honorary degree is less impressive than some of yours, but I still earned it. And I do want to go to magic college for real once the show is over.”

Harper wraps an arm around Tina and gives her a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll make sure you can, my beautiful little hoppalong.”

“Well, Tina certainly increased their VP total on the date, taking the lead from Daphne, who also increased her score a little. I’ll point out that those of you NOT on the date will have a considerably harder time earning VP this week if everyone pulls the all-day destination date thing. Perhaps you all should be trying to convince the date for the day to invite you along. Anyways, today is Scarlet’s day. Tomorrow, we’ll have the meeting in the Media Room for the screen convenience, so meet us there. Any questions? None? Great. Bye.”

Beckie: (Brain) Pop Survey Progress: +1

Harper: +40 BP (+20 BP earmarked for contestant modification)

Not even bothering to watch Ariel swim away, Dinah leaves to get to the library. I got a day to figure out how to use my date to escape. No need to waste time.
