Yes, I consent

She nodded, "I won't **** you to do anything you don't want to, but just in case we uh..have more fun then we expect..it's usually customary to disrobe so we don't awake to a mess." She elaborated. Her cheeks seemed slightly redder after that comment but it could just be the candlelight. Either way her confidence returned and she seemed relieved.

You gulp at this, and she notices. "Don't worry! Everything we do stays between us, I promise I won't tell a soul. Unless, of course, you're a literal monster, but you already knew that walking in here." She said the last part with a smile. It took you a moment to fully comprehend that she was at least half joking.

She rolled back into laying pose, her skirt rising for a brief moment and giving you a clear view of her plain white panties, then falling back between her legs. She noticed where your eyes were looking and her cheeks definitely turned red this time.

You were afraid to keep watching her show but also afraid to look away, partly because you wondered if she might take offense to you ignoring her sensual performance.

"Do..do you want me to look away?" You asked awkwardly when she stuck her thumbs under the hem of her skirt, threatening to pull it down.

"They...don't usually ask me that.." she blushed more, this time with a worried expression.

"N-no it's not your looks! You look really good! I mean..beautiful, you know..I just..I feel rude staring...Also not you personally! I don't even know you, I just..." You also felt a pang as she mentioned 'others'. This was just an ordinary event to her, nothing special, nothing more than a formality..something was lost in that to you.

She smiled, reassured, her cheeks still just as red though. Why did you feel reassured by that? You barely knew this person! "It's alright, I don't mind! If you want you can disrobe under the sheets, I'll spare you the embarrassment since I know how it feels..."

You were at a bit of a loss of words, so she continued 'preparing'. She lifted her bottom so the skirt could fall to her knees, revealing the panties you saw earlier, held in place by a pink ribbon you had missed. Then she sat and scooted back to lift her legs in the air and pull the skirt all the way off, throwing it on the ground beside you, next to the belt.

She blushed more when she noticed you hadn't moved, "Oh..I..I should have asked, would you...rather do it with someone else?" donning her same eyes-towards-the-ground ashamed expression as before while she asked this.

You tried to reassure her, "No! No that's not it at all, this is just really..shocking to me."

She looked into your eyes at this, slowly moving her hands up to unbutton her blouse, revealing a little more breast tissue.

"I've..never been this embarrassed before," she said, all the buttons undone, hands hesitating on the two sides of her blouse that still covered her breasts. "Sorry, I..-"

"-no! I'm sorry, this has got to be really awkward for you if it's embarrassing to me...do you..want me to help?" You asked, suddenly realizing how that sounded and regretting the choice of words. Her eyes looked into yours with..was that a pleading look?

"You don't have to if you don't want to..I don't want to make you uncomfortable," she gave you a serious look then, "Am I making you uncomfortable? We don't have to do this if you don't want to, I'm sure Thompson will take care of it, he's always gotten along quite..." she glared at the floor "..well...with my mom."

You wondered why she disliked the concept but decided that probably wasn't the time to ask, "You're making me a little..too comfortable, I'd say...you're being really nice and I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm sorry," you tried to keep your eyes above her neck as you talked.

She looked at you with a slightly seductive expression, "I think it's cute when people don't know what they're doing, much more loving than people who're just in it for the verification and pleasure. Infact I...can't really remember a time when I've had someone like that..."

You're pretty sure you're blushing this time, "Thanks,"

You shift around uncomfortably, she's still splayed out and laid back in just panties and an unbuttoned blouse and it's having an effect on you.

You decide to change the subject to what you're thinking of at the moment, "I can see the skirt and panties, but why the blouse? I mean since it's to avoid a mess, you know..." Then realize what you've just asked and inhale nervously, mentally cursing yourself for such brash words.

Her smile gets wider, her eyes more daring, and her cheeks redder as she replies, "I..s-saw you looking, I thought you might want to see..."

Your mind began running on overdrive to form a response amongst the chaotic jumble of thoughts that seemed to rise at this, then she completed her words in pulling the blouse apart, letting it fall down to her lower torso by relaxing her arms by her sides. It looked like she had taken off her bra earlier...

She had a pleased expression from seeing your stare. That is to say, an even bigger blush, this time with an averted gaze not in shame but in **** embarrassment.

"Good God you're beautiful," you say almost subconsciously, her perfect boobs bouncing at the lightest shiver she gave from the sudden exposure, smooth blonde hair having fallen around them, they perked outwards in delight at your presence.

"I..sh-should hurry..." She stuttered, throwing the blouse on her pile clothes, you looked down to see the dark spot starting to form on her panties.

"I'm..sorry about this, here..." You took off your shirt and began undoing the belt to your pants.

She got up and walked over to a desk on the far side of the room, picking up two small glasses with multicolored liquid swirling inside them.

You quickly took off your pants, your erection very clearly showing, as she turned around and stared you couldn't help but repeat her averted gaze.

"H-here's the..mixture, sorry." She handed you one of the glasses, pulling her eyes away from your groin to make eye contact.

"It's alright, I've been staring this whole time, it's only fair."

This earned you a giggle as she crawled into the bed, pulling the sheets over her.

"Just make sure to drink it right as I do, since time is a lot slower there, it's important we're comfortable where we sleep and also that we drink at exactly the same time, otherwise one of us will spend a long time alone waiting for the other person. In real life this amount at this density should last about 30 minutes, while in the dream it'll feel like 4 hours."

Your eyes widen, "Whoa..that's a long time,"

She gave you a knowing smile, "Not everything involved in testing conscience has to do with sex."

"What all are we going to do?" You asked, still not sure what to expect from any of this.

She pats the bed to invite you, "Get comfortable, we'll drink on three and you'll see!"

You got as comfortable as you could knowing the warmth just a few inches away was the naked body of a beautiful girl laying next to you.

She reached down into the covers and after a bit of shuffling, flung her panties into the corner with the rest of her clothing.

Make that completely naked.

You removed your underwear, throwing them into the pile.

She looked away to avoid embarrassing you, sweet girl.

"We'll drink on three, ready?"

You nodded.

"One... Two...Thr-" her voice cut out abruptly as you drank, your vision going dark.

--

You woke up, an empty void surrounding you. Imagining the hills you came into the dimension to find, they manifested around you. "Whoa,"

You quickly noticed you weren't wearing anything.

Best prepare for Sarah's arrival.

You think, imagining clothing and then taking a few minutes to design a mansion, making a bedroom similar to her's inside of it.

This is so cool.

I know right?

Another voice entered your head and you looked around to see her naked body next to you.

You couldn't help but stare as you replied, "you're here!"

She went red and quickly manifested clothing as well. "Yep! We've got about 4 hours to spend, there are a variety of tests that we usually do, so..let's start with the basics,"

She manifested a chair and sat down in it, you did the same. She then made a notebook and began flipping through it.

"Alright, first question...what's your name? I know you know it, just asking to get you used to the format and make sure you can remember your story."

"Daniel, pretty straight forward." You answered, pulling one leg over the other to prepare for the long Q and A session.

"Alright, where are we?" She asked next.

"Well...I guess here you would call this place the 'dream world', but in real life we're in a two-story house dedicated to verification, upstairs in your room."

She nodded, flipping a page to get to the next question. "How did you get here?"

"Well, I got here by waking up in this weird hallway place with a bunch of doors, and I went through a green one named 'Harxodd' with Thompson which lead me here, to this dimension. I asked where we might find shelter and he suggested we go to the village we're in, in real life, and that's how we came to find you guys."

"Wait, what?" she asked, looking at you with a seriously nervous expression.

"What?" you asked, unsure if she was questioning whether your story matched Thompson's or not.

"You...came in like Thompson came in?" she asked hesitantly.

"He came in like that as well?" you asked, suddenly as curious as she was about your own story.

"Yeah...he's the only one who's ever done that..." she trailed off, writing something down. "Alright, what is love?" she asked next.

"Baby don't hurt me..." you joked, to which she gave you a weird expression. "Ahead of your time, I suppose. I think love is sort of...different, depending on which kind of love you're taking about. There's friendship, there's romance, and then there's another kind...one for the world as a whole."

She looked at you with a serious expression for a little while, seemingly contemplating your answer. You were afraid you got it wrong at first, then she responded, "That alone pretty much proves you have a conscience unless you know a ton about the test and memorized those lines, but that would take an IQ most shape shifters just don't have...that being said your story is...interesting. Do you love me?"

"Do I love you? As a friend and as a partner I don't know you that well but from what I've see so far you seem nice, you're certainly attractive. I guess I would say I like you, I'm not sure I could say I love you and be honest about it because I don't know enough."

She nodded, "Another good answer, you could have lied there."

She went on to ask you a lot more questions which weren't as serious, time flew and before you knew it an hour had passed.

She had manifested a clock (smart girl) and realized the hour had gone a few minutes after it had. "Ah! First hour is up, that means it's time to go to step 2..."

"What's step 2?" You asked, wondering how exact the plan was structured.

"The first hour was all about getting what the person believes in theory out, of course what they put into practice might be different so that's why it's important to focus on testing conscience with real tests as well. Or at least, real in the mental sense. Step 2 involves..well..I probably shouldn't say, it could influence the results."

"That makes sense, what should we do?"

"It's all about having fun, yes it's still technically part of the test but the idea is to enjoy ourselves and see what happens, and no I don't mean enjoy ourselves that way." She smiles briefly. That comes later.

Wait, did I just read her thoughts? You thought and she nodded.

Oh yeah, if you think hard enough and focus on sharing thoughts, we can communicate via telepathy, I uh..didn't mean to share that..

She blushed again. You were beginning to like her red cheeks more and more.

This is so cool!

You heard a giggle but only saw a smile, looks like laughs are included in telepathy.

You began manifesting rock formations, suddenly struck with an idea.

"What's that?" She asked with a curious look over what you were making.

"You'll see, fly up higher..." You continued manifesting, she flew up to get a better look.

"Of course." She smiled and shook her head.

You built a chess board out of different colored grass and rock formations to make the different pieces.

"Your move!" You say playfully.

"I've always been horrible at chess." she said, still smiling, and moved a tree shaped like a pawn forward.

"Me too." You moved a rook that looked like a rock.

Soon you were both laughing and talking as you continued manifesting different boardgames in strange places.

At one point she flew back down and noticed the time. "Hey!" She called out, manifesting an echo so it reached you.

"Coming!" You flew back to her.

"What's going on?" You asked once you found her near the original two chairs.

"3rd step time!" She gave you a friendly look which slowly changed into something else...

"What exactly is the third step?" You couldn't help but ask, even if you knew she probably wouldn't answer.

"Again, I shouldn't tell you..." she said, confirming your thoughts and wrapping a hand around her other arm nervously. "But..would you...be interested in going out?" She gave you the cutest nervous romantic look you imagine physically possible. Or..virtually possible?

"W-wait is this part of the test or not?" You suddenly felt nervous, your heart starting to get tangled up in something you weren't sure was real.

"Well..I really shouldn't be telling you, but, it's technically a part of it..." She shuffled her feet in discomfort and looked down.

"What is it?" You asked instinctively.

"I..well you can't really know if what I'm doing is real or not, since it's my job to test you however possible and that means reaching you no matter what..but..I really do..want to."

You gulped for the second time this night.

"I..don't know what to say."

She nodded.

"There's no way to end the test until the time is up, but if you like we don't have to go to step 3, you passed the first two with such flying colors that it's pretty much guaranteed you can't be anything other than who you are...I could just lie to the others."

Uh oh. Your heart...not good. You didn't care about the test, you just wanted something real...

"You would..do that for me? Or is this just another part of the test?"

She gave you a helpless look, "I swear I'm being honest, I wish I could prove it..it is possible I'm still lying to you, sadly. I really wish I could prove to you I'm telling the truth, but, if I'm honest then I've got to say that I've lied to people to this extent to go all the way in the test before..."

She looked like she was looking through old memories with her imagination. "I regret doing that, the people were heartbroken..I feel so bad..."

She knelt, hugging her knees into her, tears running down her cheek. "They were absolutely distraught and I did nothing but nod and smile while their heart shattered."

You hesitated, she didn't move.

Gulp

You walked over to where she sat, the light of the virtual sun casting your shadow across her. She refused to look up, looking between her legs at the grass instead.

What am I doing? I shouldn't be doing this! This is all an act, she's highly trained to do just this...
