John and Lana return to the real world.

The game store came into focus as John looked across to Lana, "That was insane!"

Lana smiled, "I knew you'd enjoy it."

The table they were sitting at was the same as they did when they went in. John had the sudden realization that he came a few minutes ago. And of course his pants were a bit moist.

"God damn it," John said.

"I should have warned you," Lana admitted with a wink, "But I think its worth the embarassment."

"So was Katherine you?"

"Yes," She smiled, "And it was quite the first meeting."

John blushed. He hadn't expected himself to get so into the roleplay. Let alone get comfortable enough to do erotic roleplay with a complete stranger. But Lana had made the experience... comfortable. And he was already craving more.

Lana continued, "I think you've got a good introduction to the Storyteller. Do you think you'll try your hand at running next time?"

John scratched his head, "I'd like to, but playing it must be a lot different than running."

"A bit, I can talk you through if you have trouble," she said, pulling out a few more USBs. "I have some spare modules I can lend you until you get comfortable making your own. YouTube can help a lot with the basics. The main issue is having enough creativity to react to what your players do."

"Was I that unpredictable?" John asked, "I thought you set up a pretty straight forward scenario for me. Defeat the enemies, save the damsel in distress."

"Well... I don't like breaking the illusion for how the sausage gets made," Lana said, "But the original idea was that there were no survivors from the carriage, and you were supposed to take one of the goblins captive to the town. But I figured you were too into a Monster Slayer mindset to be interested in having some bondage play with a goblin."

John laughed, "Have you run this scenario for a lot of people?"

"Just a few, most people I've done it with avoid the sexual stuff. Par for the course when most people see the Storyteller as a game console for playing instead of a facilitator of intimate storytelling. That's why I jumped at the idea of showing you how it works, because you mentioned an interest in trying erotic roleplay."

"I'm glad to have been able to experience it with you," he said touching Lana's hand. She placed her other on top his.

"To be up front about everything, I'm not monogamous," She said, "I don't have just one significant other or anything. Not to say that I am trying to ask you to be my boyfriend after one erotic roleplay session."

"I wouldn't assume so."

"Good, I just have had a few people get the wrong idea, and I wanted to put that out there to avoid any confusion," She smiled.

"I just got out of a bad relationship," John said, "I'm not looking to overcomplicate things again or to make things uncomfortable for someone else."

"Awesome!" she beamed. "I've got to go, but would you be interested in trying this out again, but this time as the game runner?"

"Definitely!"

"Great!"

They took a moment to pack up the device, which John carried out awkwardly infront of himself to hide the pool of semen that had formed on the front of his jeans. Katherine scheduled their next session a week later, but gave John a few tutorial videos to help him better understand the Storyteller. John was hopeful that by the time a week was over he could at the very least create a short scenario.
