Truth be told...

Sadly, trying to sleep this off would be almost impossible in an unfamiliar place. Skyler let out a soft sigh. This meant that telling the truth was the only safe option. "I'm alive if that's what you mean..." He knew that wasn't what she meant, but he wanted to buy himself time to think of how to word the truth. He didn't plan to lie, but how much he needed to tell was another story entirely. Nepeta gently touched his left hand as Cyanis spoke. "You are less expressive than normal..." Cyanis looked to Emily. "Did you cast a spell on him?" Emily lifted her hands up. "I wouldn't dare. I have no idea what would happen to him if I did."

Skyler glared slightly upon realizing that Emily would do so if she wasn't so worried about his condition. "Does that mean I would be free game if I wasn't so pitiful? What does that mean in this situation? Am I simply a toy to be played with?" His heart sank and his body quivered. "I suppose that makes sense. Men like me aren't good for much anyway. So why not use and **** me, right? At least someone would get some joy out of it..." Emily was about to say something, but Cyanis glared at her angrily and said. "He isn't a toy!"

Nepeta gently squeezed Skyler's hand. Emily glared back at Cyanis. "That's a little hypocritical of you. Just who was it again that tried to use pheromones on him? Hmm?" That was when they started to yell at one another. Skyler felt pain throughout his body as their voices grew in volume. 1 + 1 = - 2 Hp "Not so loud, that hurts." Emily and Cyanis both apologized to him, but continued to glare at one another. He sighed softly. "Listen, to be clear. What happened with Cyanis earlier wasn't really her fault. I'm not exactly a healthy man. I'm broken in many ways."

Emily and Cyanis both had puzzled looks upon their faces. Nepeta's expression changed to worry while leaning in closer. "What do you mean?" Skyler could feel the warmth coming from Nepeta's body which caused him to lean back slightly. "It's not a pleasant story." She tilted her head slightly. He sighed softly while closing his eyes. "It was back when I was 16. I was introduced to a woman named Fidella by my friend Kendrick. He wanted me to keep her off his back for some reason. I thought nothing of it and did just that. All too well actually. We ended up dating."

By this time Cyanis and Emily were listening very carefully to what Skyler had to say. Skyler's eyes opened while pointing downward. "I didn't know what I was getting into in many respects. She had a child, a husband she had a restraining order against, and multiple boyfriends." He turned to look into Nepeta's eyes. "The very same night we met, we went to the movies. She seemed okay and friendly. She even taught me a hand gesture that meant someone wanted to fuck." He moved his hand away from hers to show with his hands. He used his middle fingers to slide along the palm of the other hand.

After that demonstration, Skyler shook his head slightly. "It was exciting to be sure. I was young and very stupid." Nepeta's pupils started to narrow as if becoming disinterested in what he had to say. Her score plummeted to 45. Emily's plummeted to 30. Cyanis's score plummeted to 20. Skyler looked slightly away. "I promise this story has a point." He let out two heavy sighs before continuing. "While we watched the movie she reached into my pants and touched my junk, including my sack."

Skyler's eyes looked over to Cyanis. Her expression was that of disgust, but when he looked over to Emily she almost looked excited. He wasn't sure what to think as he continued to speak. "Afterwards, she brought her hand to her nose and sniffed it. Her face contorted with disgust. She leaned in and whispered into my ear that I was sweaty, disgusting, and nasty. She accused me of never washing before bringing her hand to my face and told me to smell it." Nepeta's eyes widened before looking down. The mood in the air dramatically shifted.

Emily's score ticked up to 35. "Was it good for you?" Skyler looked into her eyes with a blank and unimpressed expression. "No, but it taught me something important. That men are disgusting and unwanted creatures." Emily's score dropped to 25. Nepeta and Cyanis were both silent. Nepeta's score dropped to 40. Cyanis's score dropped to 10. He leaned back slightly. "I found out she had a kid the next day. A few weeks after that, I found out she had other boyfriends. Many in fact, at least, that is what she told me when I came by for a surprise visit. This was before cellphones were in every home." He shook his head again. "Boy, did I regret showing up unannounced."

Skyler's breathing grew heavier as he continued to think about this. "I stayed with her, mostly because I was lonely. I found out a month later about her husband whom she had a restraining order against." Emily's score dropped to 15. Cyanis's score dropped to 5. Nepeta's score dropped to 20. His body was quivering, but he knew this wouldn't be much longer. "I even gave her my N64 and all my games to try and make her happy. To top it all off, by the third month, she decided to break it off with me. She told me I was the best boyfriend she ever had. Oh, and that one day she would come back after having plastic surgery. She even claimed that no one would recognize her."

Skyler slowly stood up. "Anyway, that's why I don't like having my dick touched by anyone else's hand. Heck, if I could simply remove it I would." Emily's, Cyanis's, and Nepeta's scores all dropped to 0. They all look very confused at the moment. Rodovar's score dropped to 10. "That is both sad and amazing. I've never heard so many pussies snap shut at once before." Skyler lifted a brow and looked in Rodovar's direction, he was leaning against the entryway of the log cabin. "Yeah, I have that effect on women." He turned around. "Tell Shady I said thanks for her hospitality."

Skyler didn't give any of them a chance to react as he used a mental command to drop the quest, "Man in the Kitchen!". A small notification appeared in the center of his view to confirm this as he lifted a hand to cast Exit Illusion Barrier. The world around him shattered into a million pieces before reforming into the parking lot of a building in the downtown area. He looked around before letting out a soft sigh. "I forgot I would show up here..." He looked around slowly before starting his way down the street toward the nearest supermarket.

Skyler had a few places in mind to go from there, but where should he go? A restaurant to get something to eat? A hotel and try to get a room to rest? Or somewhere safe to form his own illusion barrier to hunt for food and make something for himself?
