Game night with Kazumi

Everything was in motion. You had a slimegirl under your thumb--or so you thought, at least--but that was enough. You also had a friend, Kazumi Ishida, who worked at a Hideki Tech facility on transportation projects across town. She was a friend from when you were kids, and through high school, and then college, and you did your best to keep in touch. Throughout college, you and Kazumi played a game of will-they-or-won't-they with feelings between you and her. The answer was always... won't. You and Kazumi found yourselves too shy to say anything to each other then, but now you just keep a regular game night, this time at Kazumi's apartment.

Throughout the day, you had this tightness in your chest and stomach, of this anticipation of doing something that you knew wasn't quite right, but at the same, you absolutely wanted to see it through to completion. You laid out your request to Chloe, and you made it simple: she had to get inside Kazumi, and then from there... you and Chloe would wing it. You left the details up to her for how to manage it, but when the time to head over had arrived, Chloe flowed herself into your bag, and you carried her out of Hideki and off to Kazumi's place to get the show started.

"Ah, hey!" Kazumi was always excited when you showed up, she was constantly excited about everything however so you didn't think much of it. "What are you feeling tonight? Air Battalion? Princess Wars? Strike **** Gamma?" You were fairly petite, but you were like an Amazon next to Kazumi. She had long, straight black hair and a thin frame, wrapped up in loose attire to look like she had more bulk to her than she actually did.

You bit your lip, looking around nervously like you were somehow going to get caught before your plan could even get in motion. You clutched your bag tightly. "I was thinking, uh... we haven't done Fury Fighters in a while, right? Not since the latest update where they added those new characters."

Kazumi grinned, and clapped her hands together. "Yes! Let's do it! I'll set it up, pizza and soda's in the kitchen. Green stuff is mine, but take your pick of whatever else." Kazumi hurried to the big TV in her place, while you stepped off to the kitchen. Everything in the apartment was immaculate, decorated with a mix of high-tech Hideki gadgets and family heirlooms. It was neat, tidy, and stylish, unlike the slim, tiny Kazumi in her oversized sweatshirt from college--she was a total whirlwind everywhere else she went, so you don't know how she managed to keep her place so pristine.

You set your bag down, grabbed a slice of pizza, and hurried off to the couch in the other room, sitting down next to Kazumi. It was up to Chloe to figure it out from there...

Immediately, you and Kazumi were trading blows in Fury Fighters, one of the more popular fighting games on the market. You'd always picked this blue-haired woman with ice powers, while Kazumi favored a secret agent police character who had an extensive leg-based arsenal. Three rounds later, you'd only felt like you started to shake off the rust, while Kazumi was as potent as ever. "Tell you what, Emmy, do a couple rounds against the CPU and I'm gonna get a slice too, otherwise it's gonna be a boring night when you can't take me in a match!"

You rolled your eyes, but you agreed with her. You needed some time for things to settle in anyway... Kazumi returned, with a large glass of soda. "This stuff is sweeter than usual, weird... maybe I bought the wrong stuff. It's pretty good though, you want some?" She wiggled the glass of green liquid at you.

You shook your head. You knew better, having figured out how a green slime girl might make her move...

One glass down, Kazumi seemed to only get thirstier. "I'll, uh, be right back." As the night went on and more rounds of Fury Fighters were played, she went back for more and more of the green soda, as part of Chloe inside of Kazumi seemed to exaggerate her thirst. It wouldn't be long before the slime was fully in her, and then the real game would begin. That tightness in your chest only seemed to grow as you waited quietly for a sign...
