Quims of Fate

Our escape route took us down a money chute from behind the roulette wheel all the way down to the first floor of the casino. No one was around when we landed, so we could rush ourselves to the safe room on our normal routes.

I took a seat on a chair and instantly crumpled. In this moment we had to breathe, my heart felt heavy with guilt and stress. I only remember some snippets of the drunken mess I was up there-something about nipples? I'll have to ask Sophia about that-but one thing does stick out in my mind. “Mona… I messed up somehow when I was drunk. They're keeping the treasure in her office now. In order to get it… I think I’m going to need to seduce the real Sae Niijima. Like, IRL. Is that even possible? She's an adult! She's Makoto's sister! I think I’m freaking out a lit-”

“Well, don’t.” He snapped, looking like he was about to slap me with his tiny paws, “Focus up, Leader. Your team are in trouble, and it’s up to us to save them. I can’t have you breaking character now.”

The cat’s right. Panic about Sae later, right now it’s rescue time. “Okay, thanks.”

“Anytime. Besides, I don’t see the problem. It’s definitely possible, and seducing the heart of the Palace leader sounds like a peak Phantom Thief move to me~”

Brushing past his smirk with my own, we got out the map of the palace we’d picked up from a guard shadow last time we were here, placing it across our meeting table to examine the whole casino. “Okay, so here’s what we know. Skull, Crow, and Fox are all together in the arena." I said, pointing at the location, "That’s floor three, but we still don’t have access to that area with our current funds.”

Mona's cat paws poked around at some locations not on the map, “During my own investigation, I found there are quite a few air vents that only I can fit through that I don't think anyone knows about. There’s a chance I can wiggle my way up to the third floor, but it’ll be risky.”

“Yeah, I don’t like the idea of splitting up the little bit of party we have left,” I admitted. Mona was resourceful and lucky in a pinch... he looks determined, but it I still worry though. “If that’s the only way we can save them then we may need it. Even if it’s just you trying to find a way for me to get up there with you.”

“What, don’t think I can handle the arena? You know, some people are almost scared of how good I am~”

I **** myself to not roll my eyes at his comment, “Okay, you've got the guys, so now the girls. Any ideas where they may be?”

“Yeah, I do… I smell all of them on this floor… but you’re not gonna like it.”

Oh crap, I don’t like where this is going already. I wonder if this is something to do with my numerous drunk changes…

We headed over to the safe room's door, peering through to check if the coast was clear. Or, at least, that’s what I thought we were doing. Suddenly Morgana pointed outwards towards the many rows of roulette machines. “There! It’s Oracle!”

“Huh? Where?”

For the most part I thought the scene was just the regular casino. Bright colours meant to disorient the senses, masses of shadows that seemed to be eternally gambling, and the occasional enemy meant to impede our progress.

It was the latter of those items that caught my eye.

Usually the enemy encounter comes from a single source we walk into. Sometimes it’s a shambling humanoid mound, other times they fit the theme like a knight or alien, that would explode into a more capturable shadow when we get close. In Sae’s Casino, it was bizarre bunny girl waitresses, designed to titillate the customers of the casino as they served their masters drinks. Walking around like eye candy to keep you in the building gambling your life away. Think a playboy bunny overlapping a shadow creature.

This bunny looked different though, it had long orange hair and its mask appeared to have a glasses design.

It was Futaba.

Her body looked wildly different. Not only tall but an hourglass figure that would make some animes blush, tits the size of actual melons, a waist thin enough to wrap both hands around, and an ass that looked so perky and firm. In all regards it looked like the regular bunny shadows.

Bright red leotard that rode up her crotch and barely covered her nipples, a floppy pair of ears as a headdress, heels, bowtie, stocking, pitch black skin, fluffy white tail, it should just be a regular shadow!

But… but that was definitely Futaba, I could feel it. My girlfriend, the girl Sojiro needed me to protect, now a shadow. She wasn’t acting like the Dorito fueled gremlin I was used to, instead she was serving the customers as if her mind had turned into one of these shadows as well. Jiggling her new massive tits with every high heeled step. Pure black nipples weirdly visible from the way her leotard pushed them up. All while her face was covered completely by a pure cyan mask.

We closed the door quietly to avoid being seen as I had a panic attack, curling up into a ball to think, “She’s… she’s not going to explode into another shadow if we get close… right? It’s still her in there?! There has to be a way to free her, right?!”

“Yes, Joker! Cognitive powers can’t completely overwrite another person that quickly! There should be a way to free her!” reassured Morgana, placing his tiny paw on my shoulder. “I think I have an idea… but we’ll have to do some recon.”

“Okay…”

After we left our saferoom, he guided us skywards. We'd found many of the elaborate lights and decorations that hung from the ceiling were perfectly safe to stand on. It made traversing some of the more dangerous or locked parts of the casino much easier, but we did have to be careful to not make too much noise.

It was also as we skulked that I realised I’d fucked up with my last question.

I just remembered I shouldn’t be asking so many vague as hell questions. If I was more specific then Benzaiten wouldn’t have free reign to figure out how exactly I would be able to free my friends from their big titty shadow control. If it was up to me I'd say I just have to do a kiss or something, but this is now on the God of perviness to choose so I have a good feeling I know where this is going…

“There! See?!”

We were in the rafters as his paw once more pointed down to the floor, though this one was much harder to miss.

Sat at a dice table, cigarette in mouth, placing her bets… was a massive red woman in a cat mask.

Ann’s Persona, Carmen, was lounging at the roulette table, draped in red silk that shimmered under the blistering glow of the casino lights I stood on. She certainly looked out of place among the humans and human-sized shadows around her. The exaggerated curves of her dress that framed her like a blooming rose, those dark curls that tumbled over her shoulders, that salmon pink skin that sent the eyes towards her hefty chest. Even before all this sex world shenanigans, Carmen would always draw the eye.

Currently she was sitting at a roulette table. The heart-shaped mask concealed all but her piercing golden eyes, which traced the spinning wheel with a detached sort of interest. Only occasionally moving her hand to shift her gamble or just deploy cigarette ash to the nearby tray. Those twin heart-headed dudes who usually stood chained at her side were absent, leaving her strangely alone amid the clamor of gamblers and the distant chime of slot machines.

“Is that… Carmen?” I asked, staring down at her in total disbelief. “What’s she doing out by herself?”

The cat just frowned, looking to the right to spot a blonde looking bunny girl just happening to walk by, “There’s been a breach of self between the girls and their minds. Those blue masks that have turned them into shadow bunnies have replaced their own rebellion masks, meaning their Personas are walking free on the floor,” explained Morgana, pointing from the bunny Ann to another large woman in a huge pink dress. Milady happily walked around looking for the perfect place to gamble, and I bet that Johanna, Necronomicon, and Cendrillon are around too… “If we can get them to reattach them with their Personas it should be enough to break them free!”

“Okay… how do we do that?”

Morgana scratched his tiny chin, pacing around the rafters in thought, “We have to get them to attune to their other selves again… maybe if the girl and the Persona experience a shock to the system and are feeling the exact same way then it’ll sync their thoughts together!”

Internally, I sighed long and hard.

Why did I leave it to Benzaiten to create the cure for this?

Come on. ‘Resonance feelings’? That’s so bullshit it hurts. It’s so obvious where this is heading, I just don’t feel like I should be rewarded for creating this hellish situation.

“But surely you could think of another way to cure them, right?” I asked, hoping that a simple change in reality could stop the erotic path my trip to this fantasy casino was taking. But to my understandable yet grimacing heart, Morgana shook his head. We really can’t go ‘backsies’ as Benzy said…

“No. I can’t think of anything… how about you?”

“...it’s sex.”

“...hey, that could work!”

“Of COURSE it could,” I somewhat snappily replied, only to catch myself quickly, “Sorry, sorry. I shouldn’t complain.” I replied, looking down at my friends with worry, “Honestly? I think I’ll just take the fuck fest route on this one, whatever gets them to be themselves again, fast.”

Mona nodded, “Good. Just make sure you’re having sex with the Persona AND the Thief. Try and get them to orgasm at the same time, otherwise they may not sync up. And hurry up! Looks like the Personas are already starting to change to match the new mentalities…” He mumbled, pointing back down at Carmen. The usually elegant flamenco dancer had seemingly grown a pair of bunny ears above her head.

If I had my facts right, the Personas are going to slowly turn into bunny girls too… so I’ll need to cure the owner before that happens or I might lose the chance to save them.

“Oh cool, time pressure really helps sweeten the mood…okay, threesomes between the girls and their Personas, sounds easy enough,” I mumbled to myself before realising that my cat was heading away, “Wait, where are you going?”

He looked over his tiny shoulder with a frown, “No offence, Joker. I’m trying to be a good friend about you and Lady Ann… but I’d still rather not watch.”

“...yeah, that’s fair. Good luck on your climb, Mona.”

With one last nod, the cat left the rafters in a blitz of motion. Leaving me alone above the casino floor to stare at my various targets.

So, we have to go for basically 10 women here. Five shadow versions of my friends, and their five Personas. This isn’t going to be easy, even just to round them up…

Big booby Ann strutting around with her tray of drinks & Carmen the gambling cat lady are the two I can see, so best to start with them.

I probably shouldn’t just rush down there and start trying to fuck them. For one: that feels weird to do in the middle of a crowd. Two: I can totally imagine a scenario where I go down there with the cliche ‘Are you still in there?’ and Ann starts swiping at me or summoning giant Thor shadows to kill me because of the shadow malarky. And on a related note, three: Shadow Sae could be watching. She wanted me to leave the palace immediately, if I start doing it on her casino floor then she might rain down a torrent of monsters to kick me out without the ability to save the other four girls.

No, I have to be clever about this… find a way to separate them both from the crowds…

It was then that a non-bunny waiter caught my eye, his hunched back, matinee outfit, and tiny bow tie…

I think it’s time to go undercover.

The chips clicked between Carmen’s fingers as she watched the roulette wheel spin, its red and black pockets blurring together, with a strange sense plaguing her mind that it may never stop spinning. She could feel the weight of the casino pressing in–too warm, too artificial, too eager to swallow its players whole–yet she could not escape the pull of the chance to win. Win what? She wasn’t even sure anymore. Perhaps there was something she had to do other than gamble, perhaps she shouldn’t have sold her two heart faced slaves, yet her mind clouded over the more the roulette spun. She merely existed in the moment, rolling the dice, watching the wheel, waiting for something—anything—to break her free from the monotony.

Then, a voice.

“Congratulations, ma’am. You’ve won a special experience—an invitation to one of our private booths. If you would follow me?”

Carmen finally broke her gaze from the wheel upward, locking onto the waiter who had spoken. He stood with perfect posture, a tray balanced effortlessly in one hand, his face carefully composed, yet something about him did not fit. Black slacks, a loose vest, a not fully done up white shirt—the uniform of a man who perhaps didn’t belong here. The sharpness in his dark eyes told her all she needed to know. Recognition flickered at the edges of her mind, returning her to her senses like a half-remembered melody.

“How fortunate,” she hummed, putting out the last of her cigar before materialising a new one, voice laced with amusement. “Lead the way.”

Rising from her seat to tower over the man, she allowed the shaggy haired waiter to guide her away. The sounds of the casino fading behind them, occasionally passing those that she believed she knew once, but her focus remained on this man.

Carmen’s lips curled into a knowing smile. Yes, she knew this one.

She would play along… at least, for now.

Okay, Carmen secured. We’d entered one of the private rooms in a separate part of the casino’s first floor. We’d had to find a way to get these rooms to stop cheating last time we were here, so I was pretty familiar with the layout now. It didn’t take too many questions to random patrons to make the space I was aiming for a truly private gambling room…

I’d also changed it to have a bed in it.

The room itself was fairly small, mostly taken up by the large king sized casino mattress and bedframe. Radiant scarlet bedsheets framed by the golden metal, and a series of poker themed pillows against the headboard, plus it was as comfy as it looked thanks to my reality warps. The centerpiece was a blonde bunny girl with massive stonking great tits, kneeling on the bed and awaiting our presence patiently.

Carmen looked bemused, “My my, I didn’t realise my private room would be a private bedroom.”

“It’s still a gambling game,” I quickly corrected her, “The owner is experimenting with more sexual fun for adult gamblers. Your aim is to make this waitress orgasm at the same time as yourself. If you win, then a stunning prize is in your future.”

Bunny Ann just tilted her head. I’d had to pretend to be her manager to get her to do what I wanted, but it had worked. Now I had both of them together it was only a matter of time. “I hope you have fun, ma’am. If you’ll excuse me…” I said, trying to exit the room before I got roped into anything.

Then a whip wrapped around my arms and body. FML.

“You’re not excused,” said Carmen, dragging me back towards her before dangling me upwards as her prize catch. My wrists were pinned behind my back completely. “If I am to ‘win’ this game, I shall need more stimulation than what this buxom bunny can provide. Something like…” RIP! Oh come on, my stolen pants! And my actual underwear! Torn asunder to expose my dangling doodad, much to Carmen’s amusement, “Hmm. This will certainly suffice.”

Dammit. I wanted to set these two off without me so I could go set up similar rooms for the other four girls. Carmen’s got pretty tightly trapped, the more I struggle the longer this will take, nothing I can really do but wrap this up quickly. “As the customer wants, I shall assist with this game.”

“Good boy.” Ugh, I shouldn’t be this aroused by the giantess flamenco monster girl that’s giving me bedroom eyes and calling me a good boy.

…actually, scratch that. That is a pretty fucking apt time to get horny.

I was tossed to the bed next to Ann without being freed from my restraints. Pants off, arms behind my back, and girth quickly rising between my legs.

Bunny Ann was closest and first to act, grabbing onto my schlong with her velvet gloved hand and running her dainty fingers up and down me. It was a lot more refined than Ann’s usual experimental firm squeezes, though I already missed her curious tongue as Bunny Ann bumped her mouthless masked face against my meat. Maybe Ann really was in there?

Off the bed, Carmen began stripping down while shifting her hips to the casino’s background jazz music. Undoing her corset and shifting her dress off her shoulders in one practiced motion, pumping her hips left and right as she strutted forwards, letting the vibrant red cloth fall further and further down her body, until eventually she stepped right out of it at the foot of the bed.

Her body was (no pun intended) unreal. Carmen always looked proportionally attractive whenever Ann summoned her, but to see her in all this bare naked glory was like staring at an erotic sunset. An hourglass bombshell through and through; her chest really was that large, her waist really was that thin, and her hips really were that wide. The vibrant pink skin seemed to bend the casino’s lights around her form, contrasted by the dark colour of her hair and mask to draw the eye perfectly, my gaze flowed down her body like the glistening stream from her soaked crotch.

“Come, little bunny,” Carmen chuckled on her approach, “Let us use the gifts the Gods gave us~”

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Persona sex, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by anything. Carmen grabbed me by the dick and started raising me by it alone, I had to push off with my legs to hope she didn’t rip it off completely! I think that was her plan though, as quickly after the minor discomfort was my cock greeted by the softest feeling in existence.

My body was an arch, chin against my chest, feet on the bed, but butt raised far off and kept above by Carmen’s strength. My lighthouse beacon atop the bridge was trapped between her and Ann’s huge breasts. Totally smushed between the heavenly softness of both women, warmth and pleasure trickling down my spine as they pushed and pulled their tits ever so gently. Even if Ann was smaller, her bimbo tits had ballooned up so much that they were just as big as the giantess’.

“Hmhm, look at him squirm~” Carmen purred, reaching down to lightly peck at my poking tip. The precum that poured out of me forming a power line of liquid that she quickly licked up, “Mmm, the service here truly is impeccable!”

The softness continued to squeeze around me, and with how much precum I was leaking it was becoming as wet and warm as a pussy in here. Carmen’s rough cat-like tongue providing My mind was bombarded with the electric heat in this awkward yet erotic position as I tried to hold on.

This isn’t supposed to be about me cumming! “W-what about the game?!”

“Shh, my pets keep quiet.”

I swallowed, trying not to get too aroused by the domination ragnarok I was being assaulted by. Pure pink and black tits squirmed and pulled and pressed and smushed against my aching hard cock. Their nipples occasionally flicking against my dick, Carmen adding to the fire to lick my tip and squeeze my ass, I was a total plaything… so it’s no surprise that I ended up nutting like a firehose.

“GRRAAAH!”

“!!” I heard Ann squeak, her masked face asked shadow infected bosoms becoming drenched in my sticky sperm.

Carmen just smiled down at me, letting all the jism rain down against her body, only moving to milk the last spurts of cum out of my dick with her tits. “Naughty pet, cumming without permission.” She said, reaching down to grasp my panting face, “You’re lucky you’re so cute when your brains turn to mush. I think I’d like to see that again.”

“The… game…!”

Even with all my cum splattered against her face and chest, she still gave me a look that told me she was in control. Bunny Ann was rubbing her masked face against the jism like she had an uncovered mouth to inhale it, while Carmen just took a single pinkie and dabbed it on her rough tongue, “I like to take my time. Enjoy myself. I’m sure your ‘boss’ can appreciate that?”

I’m sure she can, but I can’t! If I don’t speed up the process then I might lose the chance to save someone!

I didn’t even get the chance to change the script, as Carmen instantly sat on my face and covered my mouth with her steamy cunt. I was squished deep into the bed by the Persona’s heavy rear riding my face like it was a tricycle, “MmMPH!”

“That’s it… lick.” Not like my tongue had anywhere else to go, lapping up her juices and noticing how similar she tasted to my model girlfriend, “Mmm… Perhaps you’ll make us both cum with that cunning tongue of yours~”

Both? What was she-?

Oh!

I can’t see from where I am, but I can totally feel that Ann just impaled herself on my cock!

“NnnNNN!!!!” I heard her scream from behind the mask. There was no build up or foreplay this time, Ann was a horny bunny that wanted to fuck and goddamn was she already hitting me full swing with those heavy hips of hers.

It felt like Ann, but the shadows that had claimed her made even her insides feel a little different. Smoother perhaps? Like her body was in a full body stocking? It felt pretty fucking good still. Though the meaty thigh asphyxiation could be adding to that. My dick was already sensitive from just cumming on their tits, but with some concentration I managed to avoid the double nut.

What I hadn’t considered was Ann cumming on me so quickly.

“MM!!! Mmm…”

I activated my vibrating tongue far too late. Even with as much skill as I’d magically given myself, I couldn’t make Carmen cum a few seconds ago. Just enough to get her to moan out in pleasure from the sudden thrilling spike, “Ooh~ W-what a w-wonderful toy~” As I brought her closer to orgasm, hoping to bounce my hips enough to get Ann going again, Carmen moved her whole body off my face. “Looks like I didn’t win this time. More chances to try again, correct?”

My juice splattered mouth couldn’t resist a frown up at her, “...of course.”

“Good, because it’s my turn on my toy~”

Unfortunately, this occurred for several rounds.

I just couldn’t get the two to sync up their orgasms. Carmen seemed to be actively avoiding it so she could have more fun with me. She refused to let me out of the whip, stopped Ann when she was getting too close, and kept bringing me to the brink of orgasm before edging me away from it. Carmen’s pussy felt incredible around me, and she could use Agi skills to practically boil me in her juicy slit, so this was quickly becoming as torturous as it was sexy. Both of them had cum multiple times, but to no avail, and I was running out of time. Even Benzaiten was against me, as during one of the rotations I asked “Did you both cum?!” to literally no avail.

Options are limited. Can’t wait for the others, can barely speak, brain losing focus from the lack of oxygen. The second Carmen left my face, Ann was ready to switch and land on me. Rotating around and around to get their kicks off my prick, this girl and her Persona are just too damn in sync!

…wait a minute.

I had just enough of a window to yell the one word I needed.

“PERSONA!!”

In a burst of blue flames that erupted all around the room, the cat and the bunny soon realised they were left alone on the bed. Leaving me to stand, arms finally free from their binds, next to a man I hadn’t seen in a while.

“I… I didn’t think I even have you equipped…”

“Hmhm, you don’t need to. After all, I art thou, thou art I,” said Arsense, floating just next to me as we stared down the ladies together, “Once more I cast off your chains. Now, let’s see if we can’t turn the table on this battle!”
