Make some deals

Avery and I went into my apartment and I ushered us over to the nice white leather sofa. Ooh, the feeling of leather against naked skin... I pulled a foot up onto the sofa and used one hand to cup my breast and the other to rub my inner thigh... my body felt so good, free and exposed... I was loving this...

Avery cleared her throat as she sat down on the opposite end of the sofa. I smiled in spite of myself and stopped fondling my body, pulling my other leg up onto the sofa and resituating my position so I was facing Avery. "Okay so..." I said, getting down to business. "I'm not an alien. I'm as human as you are."

"Uh-huh," Avery said, accepting the information, but remaining noncommittal as to whether or not she believe me yet.

"My relation to SuccuLabs is that they've tapped me as a community moderator, and as such, I have certain powers that I've been abusing the fuck out of since I got them yesterday. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be nerfed after today, in fact. And I still honestly don't even know the full range of apps that SuccuLabs has, so I've been sort of a chimpanzee with a bazooka - or bull in a China shop, whichever."

"Or a monkey with a bazooka on the back of a bull in a china shop," Avery offered.

I smirked. "I like that one."

"So... You aren't going to eat my brain or anything?"

"Not really my fetish, sorry, not into vore."

Avery gave a single snort of laughter, though she wasn't smiling yet, still reserved and suspicious. "Do you know what they are? The developers at SuccuLabs?"

And here I reached a crossroads - did I go honest, evasive or straight up make shit up? Honest was usually the best policy, as it meant I needed to keep track of less fictions, and I don't feel like she would accept evasive tactics. But then, there was the issue of how much June would be happy with me telling her... June was probably monitoring my brain anyway, I figured, and would text me to stop if I was planning on doing something truly stupid... I waited, holding the idea of being honest with Avery in my head for a minute, waiting for the "NAT STAHP!" message from June to come to my phone... Nothing happened.

Of course, I reasoned, June, perhaps, wasn't omniscient and might honestly be busy with other office stuff at that moment and not really monitoring me every second... I decided to risk it.

"As best as I can tell..." I started, waiting for my phone to buzz. "They're extradimensional entities."

"Okay," Avery said, sighing and waiting for more.

"I call them Succubi."

"Sort of obvious, given the name."

"And I'm pretty sure they feed off of runoff sexual energy produced by humans."

"Uh... huh..." Avery said slowly, nodding once. I could tell she was trying to be openminded, but was having a hard time accepting my explanation.

I directed her to pull up some Wikipedia articles on her phone about Wilhelm Reich and his theories on Orgone, and how I'd been testing my phone (scientifically and non-scientifically), and my own honest theories on the reason for the setup.

"It actually... makes a certain amount of sense..." she began at one point. "If you ignore how bat-shit insane it all sounds on the surface."

"I mean... given what these apps can do..."

"And you say this developer, this 'Succubus'-"

"June, yeah."

"This June and you have a meeting tonight in person?"

"Yep."

"I wish I could be there."

"She was real specific that I be alone."

"Sounds sort of scary."

"And sort of exciting."

"I guess."

"I'm pretty sure she won't eat my brain," I teased. "But if she does, I owe you lunch."

This earned a genuine smile as well as a little laugh from Avery. "So," she went on, swiping away from Wikipedia and opening Girl Market. "Tokens."

"Right." Under her direction I converted 18 Gems into tokens and, after I friended her on Girl Market, transferred her the Gems. One interesting thing that I noticed was that the Gem to Tokens exchange rate was always fluctuating, showing signs of an actual economy, which, again, I found fascinating.

"There..." Avery sighed with relief. "That's gone. How's my face look?"

"Still no makeup," I said with a look of sympathy on my face.

"Fuck!" Avery slapped the sofa cushion beside her in frustration. "I was half expecting my makeup to magically reappear when I got this punishment removed."

"Do you have your makeup with you?"

"I have some I carry with me for touchups but most of it is in my car." As she said this, she pulled a lipstick, a little compact of white foundation and a tiny little spray bottle out of the inner pockets of her pinstripe jacket. From the little I know of Goth makeup I could tell that these were probably items for "emergency touch ups", and there would be a lot more needed for a full application of makeup - including liquid eyeliner, some foundation with an actual application sponge, mascara, eye shadow, whatever method she used to draw on her eyebrows, etc. (I could tell she drew her eyebrows on because she also shaved them - and so was without any at the moment).

I pulled something up on Girl Market and showed it to her.

"Holy fuck!" she exclaimed, half standing in excitement or amazement. "I've been lusting over that bonus for over a year now!"

I was showing her the [Total Auto Makeup] (15 gems) bonus on Girl Market. I had seen it while browsing Girl Market at the kitchen store. The bonus would apply permanent, un-smudgeable makeup to any part of the user's body, and could be customized via a separate tab window in Girl Market at any time. One of the example images showed a totally nude goth girl with a completely porcelain white body, black fingernails, black labia, black nipples, black lips and so on.

"You would give me that?"

"Conditionally," I said carefully.

Avery sat down on the sofa again. "For what? My silence about your moderator status?"

"No, I figured I already bought that."

"Okay... what do you want?"

"I want you to join me in some challenges on Girl Market so I can get more Gems."

"Challenges?"

"It's a new feature that was just added. I do challenges, sexy, embarrassing things, to earn Gems, and I get more Gems when I convince other users on my friends list to join. And I can incentivize you with bribes and things through the app." As I said this, I was browsing this window on the app myself, fiddling with some of the settings and popup windows that gave explanations. "At least, that's how I think it works."

"How long do these challenges last?"

"Uhh... the ones I've done so far last 12 hours, but they pause the timer while you are asleep."

"Okay, cool but weird."

"I know right?" I gave a genuine smile and looked up from my phone at Avery, who was looking a little weirded out (but also slightly amused) by my strange fascination with the system. I turned back to my phone. In the Challenges tab on Girl Market, there were a lot of Custom Challenges, all of which I could not send invitations for because I had not already accepted them through the Custom Girls app. One interesting feature of these invites was the option of either setting a default incentive for each challenge, or skipping that bit and customizing the incentive for each invitation. There were other Challenges on the list that were apparently "Girl Market Exclusives!", and these tended to range from 4 hours, to 24 hours, to a week to "Permanent". I was intrigued by these. One of these "Permanent" options, which granted a +10 Daily Gems, was [CamGirl Career], and would switch the user's occupation to "Gem-Cams CamGirl". Another permanent challenge for a +1 Daily Gems was [Always Topless]. My eyes lit up.

"What? I'm not sure I like that face..." Avery said with concern.

"Oh, nothing," I lied, setting my expression back to neutral, or at least trying to. I'm sure I was still slightly smiling. Sure enough, [Always Topless]'s companion [Always Bottomless] was on the list too for +2 Daily Gems. And, yep, there was [Total Nudity] (+5 Daily Gems), ripped right from the Custom Girls catalogue of customizations and challenges. Quite the power move from the Girl Market team, I thought idly.

Out of curiosity, I tried to find more information by reading through the text descriptions of some of the "Permanent" challenges to see how permanent they really were. From what I could tell, each one locked the user who accepted it into at least a month long use, after which I, the person who started the challenge and sent out invites, could remove certain instances of a "permanent" challenge, but it was pricy in terms of Gems, causing a negative Gem amount in my "daily Gems" for how every long the challenge had been in effect, and gave the person having the challenge removed a random punishment that acted like any other punishment from Gem Ladies. So, not totally awful, but strong enough of an incentive to keep the permanent challenges unless they were truly hated. Also, I had the final say in the matter, anyway.

But, first things first: "Okay," I said to Avery finally. "Here's the deal. I'm going to be taking a lot of custom challenges each day for lots of Gems, some only give me one Gem, some give me up to 10 or 20-"

"10 or 20!" Avery said, finding such numbers hard to swallow, given the relative Gem poverty the rest of the player base apparently had to deal with. "Will I be pulling down numbers like that?"

"Where would you put it?" I countered.

"Every time your Gem Bank overflows, you earn a +1 to your bank."

Huh, I thought. So that was standard across the other apps and players. Good to know.

"Well, no, I'd keep the Gems from you accepting the challenge as well, but I pay you, say, one gem per daily challenge you accept an invitation to, you get to choose which ones you want to accept. And, slowly, your Gem Bank will expand."

"Well, come on, if your getting 20 Gems per Challenge, I should at least get 10."

"Hey, you are going to be expanding up to the dozens and hundreds of Gems in like a week with this system if you take even half of my invitations a day, don't get greedy, I have a lot of really expensive things I need to spend these Gems on as part of my job now."

"Like what?"

"Never you mind. The deal is one Gem per daily challenge, plus I'll be your guardian angel in case you get really onerous punishments from GemLadies again, you and Connie. This is a good deal - you could be Gem rich by the end of the week."

Avery sighed and thought about this. She flipped a few pages on her phone and I could see she was looking at the [Total Auto Makeup] bonus. "Where does the [Total Auto Makeup] come into it?"

"That I will grant you in exchange for a very special, permanent challenge."

"Permanent?" she was looking worried again.

"I want you..." I had a huge grin on my face. "To become a nudist too!" My grin turned into a manic smile as if it were the greatest thing in the world.

Avery guffawed and shook her head, a look of disbelief and annoyance on her face. "What is it with you and making people naked?"

"It's a fetish. I love nudity and making other women naked."

"I'll get arrested."

"I don't."

"You're using crazy, Dark Web, Succubus magic shit!"

"And I'll use the same protections on you."

"But I like clothes!"

"You can decorate your body in other ways, and show off your awesome full body makeup easier."

"What about jewelry and shit?"

"I'm pretty sure it'll be fine," I lied. Really, I had no idea one way or the other.

"No," Avery said after a minute. "I don't want to be a nudist, I like my clothes."

"Fine," I bluffed.

"Fine," she countered, calling my bluff.

"To be clear, I'm not buying you expensive Gem shit without this."

"Fine."

I held up an image from the [Total Auto Makeup] bonus's store page where it showed how you could customize make-up effects on any part of your body instantly, even creating tattoos, or uploading images from your phone as tattoos, and they would show up on your body as permanent images, until you edited them again. It would even allow you to change your finger- and toenail colour and texture.

"What if I just say the price of my silence includes the [Total Auto Makeup]?"

"Then I won't give into you, and you'll go try and tell people."

"Yeah, I will."

"And then you'll have the Succubi to worry about. I've seen your public profile page, I know you know how vindictive they can be about security - how's working at Hot Topic treating you?"

Avery glared at me. "If you are okay with me blabbing or think I won't because of reprisals from the Devs, why did you bribe me in the first place?"

"Because I like you and I want to give you lots of cool, expensive shit from Girl Market. I thought this would be a neat introduction - helping you out with things."

"You could have just said 'no strings attached, let me just help you with that.'"

"I just met you, I barely know you still - but that's good information. Now look, let's take a breath here, yeah?" I made a show of taking a deep breath and repositioning myself on the sofa, sitting on my naked legs folded neatly under me. "Let's focus on what common ground we have decided. You'll do the daily challenges for one Gem each, yeah? And you get to choose which ones you accept."

"Sure," Avery said carefully.

"And, let's be honest, knowing me, a lot of these will involve being naked."

"One would assume - however, I could just not take those."

"Yeah, but you will. That's how this works," I sighed. "Free-to-play games always get you to do what they want you to do in the end, if the rewards are high enough, if the gamification is strong enough. So lets just assume you're going to be naked by either these challenges, or something to do with Gem Ladies, or whatever - if you play with Succulabs, you're going to be naked sometimes in public."

"Sometimes, not 'all the time'."

"Half of your time, apparently. I see you have the [Home Nudist] punishment."

"A temporary problem."

"And is it awful?"

"With my home-life, yes!"

I groaned. Getting bored of this argument. "What are clothes good for anyway? Protection from the environment? We can use an app for that. Hiding our modesty? Please, we're beyond that. From what it sounds like, to me, is that you want fashion and maybe pockets and... I honestly can't think of a third thing clothes are good for."

"Not getting arrested or ogled or objectified."

"I can help you not get arrested - ogled and objectified, then. That's the price you are paying."

"That and the lack of fashion options."

"Yeah, okay, so three things. Now, I'm sure you can live with those - the only question is price. I'm willing to go higher. Pile on the expensive shit right off the bat to get you in the door. All we need to do is find that price."

Avery made a little sigh and leaned back on the sofa, facing the window. She was quiet for several minutes, occasionally looking like she was going to say something. But thought better of it. "I wanna keep my boots." She said at last.

I half way made a face, but straightened it out before I rolled my eyes. "And?" I said, knowing that wasn't the only thing.

"And I want you to buy me..." she flipped some pages on her phone before turning it around to show me something. "These boots on Girl Market." The boots in question were a pair of knee-high, black leather tanker boots with a ton of what looked like ammo-belt pouches all over the sides and enough belt buckles to give off Anime-protagonist energy.

"You can buy clothes and shit on Girl Market?" I wondered out loud in amazement.

"It arrives faster than with Amazon Prime Drones. And, if these Succubi are really extradimensional entities, like you seem to believe, that sort of explains why," she laughed, which was a good sign for our negotiations. "You can even buy a hundred dollar gift card to 'Groceries2GO' for one Gem, and have food and things delivered."

"Sounds like they're trying to be a total on-line market place, which, given what I've heard about that dev team, makes sense." I regretted saying this last part as soon as it was out of my mouth.

"Why? What have you heard?"

"Just office gossip, drama llama stuff. Anyway - back to the deal: are we good?"

"And I want some more stuff."

"Of course," I sighed, making the "keep it coming" hand gesture.

"I... want... these..." she said as she found something on her phone and turned it around to show me.

"Do you have a wishlist on Girl Market or something?" I said as I leaned forward toward her phone to see what she wanted.

"I do. These two are ones I've been after for a while now." On the screen was a bonus called [Red Eyes], 5 Gems, which, as it said on the tin, made the irises of the person crimson red. Then she flicked the screen to the side to show the next item on the list: [Real Fangs], 5 Gems, and there was a picture of prominent canine teeth in a woman's mouth.

"You're, like, a vampire goth?" I said, cocking one eyebrow.

"No!" Avery said, defensively, pulling her phone back, scandalized. "But classic vampire aesthetic is super hot, before the Anne Rices and Stephenie Meyers of the world got their asses in it."

"So, basically before the 20th century happened?"

"Exactly. Anyway... um..." she continued to scroll through her wishlist. "I also want double-D breasts and... this one," she showed me a bonus called [Toned Goddess], which showed pictures of women with athletic runner's bodies, with toned arms, thick, strong thighs and defined abs. It was very pretty, by my standards, but I was more looking at the price - 20 Gems. I sucked air between my teeth. This was getting expensive. Also, since Avery was already a C-cup, moving her up to a DD would be 18 Gems.

"Okay..." I said, making it clear that I was still down to play, but hoping we were reaching the end of the list.

"And," Avery said, making me tense up. "I want you to give Connie the same deal."

"Like, with the same incentives? Same bonuses?"

"No, whatever she wants - but I want you to make her naked too."

"Oh! Yeah, obviously," I smirked. "I'm going to try to get as many people as I can!" I laughed.

"And you'll help make her workplace and homelife accept my naked little pet the way she is."

"Yes, of course."

"Okay..." Avery swiped around her wishlist for a minute. "I have to admit, keeping my little Suki naked 24/7 is super hot, I can sort of see where you're coming from here."

"Mmm," I nodded in agreement. "So we have a deal?"

"You get that I want you to offer her the same deal with the daily challenges too, right?"

"Of course."

"Then, yeah, just about a deal... just one more thing..."

Here it comes, I thought, bracing myself.

"I want permission to fist your asshole."

I blinked. "Uhhh... that would break my butt, though?" I said, more confused than anything. Anal fisting isn't really something I'd ever considered before...

"I literally can't. One of the first big bonuses I bought myself was [Can't Injure Anuses], I could try to shove a brick up your butt and you'd be fine. I mean, it would still hurt and you'd be all stretched out, but you wouldn't be injured."

"Why do I suspect you've tried something like that already?" I sighed. "Okay, when? Can it be before dinner, at least?"

"Oh, you misunderstand. I want to be able to fist your ass whenever I want. You give me permanent, blanket permission to shove my hand up your ass."

I blinked again... several times. "Uh..."

"Hey, I'm making a major shift in my lifestyle here, this sounds reasonable to me that you be willing to make a similar adjustment."

"I mean... When you say 'any time you want'..."

"I mean just that."

"But, like, what if we're not anywhere near each other? I don't want to be obligated to hop on a plane and fly half way across the country just so you can violate my asshole."

"Oh, yeah, we'd need to be in proximity, but... I feel like we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other, at least during club meetings."

"Yeah..." I nodded. We did go to school together, and she did work two blocks away from my apartment. I shook myself, repositioned myself on the sofa. Was I really contemplating becoming this girl's butt ****? Actually, I thought, for some reason, phrasing it as "butt ****" makes it sound sexy, somehow... I took a deep breath. "Deal."

"Then we have a deal." She stretched her hand out for me to shake.

I shook her hand. "This might take a minute," I said, going to my phone to organize the challenge. "Oh, you should friend me, and probably take off your clothes?"

Avery nodded, doing something on her phone. A moment later my phone got a popup with the friend request. I accepted it. Then Avery started undressing, taking off her combat boots, boot socks, dirty white leggings (stockings, really), her pinstripe skirt and jacket, black fingerless gloves and white arm-stockings, and her torn white top, folding each item neatly and setting them on the ground next to her boots, which had one of her socks in each one. This beautiful goth girl with a black bob-cut was sitting naked on my sofa not two feet from me, and I'd be keeping her naked permanently now - I shivered with excitement as I tallied up the "incentives", stealing glances at her as she did something on her phone, probably playing a few rounds of Gem Ladies.

So, what this was going to cost me (besides getting my butthole violated on the reg) was as follows:

[Total Auto Makeup]. 15 gems.
[Red Eyes]. 5 Gems.
[Real Fangs]. 5 Gems.
[Breast Increase]. (C to D); 6 Gems.
[Breast Increase]. (D to DD); 12 Gems.
[Asskicker Boots, w/pouches]. 20 Gems.
[Toned Goddess]. 20 Gems.
[Legal Nudity]. 5 Gems.

This was a total of 88 Gems, and I currently only had 38... I'd need to accept a bunch of challenges to afford this purchase.

I opened the Custom Girls app and checked today's list of Custom Challenges. Given my new anal-play themed lifestyle addition, I favoured those challenges I felt would help with this transition, shortlisting the ones I felt both anally thematic and practically doable for today and tomorrow. I also kept an eye out for Challenges with apparent synergy with each other, knowing now that these would probably be Power Combos and Double Power Combos.

After several minutes of browsing my short list was as follows:

[Backdoor Boys]. +4 Gems.
You cannot have penises enter your vagina, instead, they will always enter your anus.

[Casual Masturbation]. +5 Gems.
You will always finger, diddle or rub your vagina when you have a free hand.

[Anal Obsession]. +5 Gems.
You are obsessed with having your anus and/or rectum played with.

[Need Butt Stuff]. +6 Gems.
You are incapable of achieving orgasm unless you are receiving some kind of anal stimulation.

[Open Door Policy]. +10 Gems.
You are compelled to always keep your anus and vagina "easy to access" and "on display", never turning down an offer to enter either.

[Siren's Call]. +10 Gems.
When horny, you will moan loudly. Your moans will attract, and indicate consent to, anyone with a penis who may wish to engage in sex with you, and they will be compelled to do so immediately.

This latter challenge had a female version, too, [Lesbian Mating Call], for the same amount of gems, but I decided against it, given that I wanted to try to avoid severely overflowing my bank again - a little bit of overflow was fine, of course, as it would gradually increase the size of my Gem Bank, but I didn't want to waste vast sums of Gems while still having to undertake the challenges.

[Open for Business] was another Challenge I almost chose, because I thought it would synergize well with [Open Door Policy], but, again, the overflow. Also, once I chose my daily Custom Challenges, I would be locked in, and unable to add more until the first batch had run their course, so, I needed to choose carefully.

It was reasonable to assume that [Backdoor Boys], [Anal Obsession] and [Need Butt Stuff] would all synergize, meaning that they would all become Double Power Combos and give me x4 Gems, for a total of 60 Gems. Further, I speculated that [Open Door Policy] and [Siren's Call] would make a Power Combo, giving me another 40 Gems. That was a hundred gems, plus [Casual Masturbation] for a total of 105 Gems, more than enough. And I could start buying some of Avery's incentives.

I switched over to Girl Market and purchased [Total Auto Makeup], 15 Gems; [Red Eyes], 5 Gems; [Real Fangs], 5 Gems; and [Legal Nudity], 5 Gems. This took my total down from 38 to 8. This meant, when I accepted my daily Custom Challenge bundle, I would earn 105 Gems, overflowing my Gem Bank by one and expanding my maximum to 113, without any losses.

One nice piece of design I found in the Girl Market app was that it gave me the option to "Purchase and Apply" or "Purchase to Inventory". I did the latter with all of these.

Now, with a 8/112 Gem Bank, I flipped over to Custom Girls to accept my challenges.

When I did, two things happened. Firstly, I started masturbating my pussy with my free hand. Secondly, I got a whole bunch of notifications:

Congratulations! You've found a POWER COMBO!
[Backdoor Boys] and [Anal Obsession] are a POWER COMBO that interact with each other for better results. You will receive DOUBLE points for both!

Good start...

Congratulations! You've found a POWER COMBO!
[Need Butt Stuff] and [Anal Obsession] are a POWER COMBO that interact with each other for better results. You will receive DOUBLE points for both!

Yes! I thought to myself, taking my masturbation hand away from my vagina long enough to pump my fist in the air in victory. [Anal Obsession] was definitely a double power combo.

Congratulations! You've found a POWER COMBO!
[Backdoor Boys] and [Need Butt Stuff] are a POWER COMBO that interact with each other for better results. You will receive DOUBLE points for both!

"Yes!" I said out loud, causing Avery to look over at me. "Oh," I said when she asked me what was up. "I'm trying to fill up my Gem Bank without it overflowing too much, and everything is going well so far..."

But then...

Congratulations! You've found a POWER COMBO!
[Casual Masturbation] and [Need Butt Stuff] are a POWER COMBO that interact with each other for better results. You will receive DOUBLE points for both!

FUCK! I thought to myself, rolling my eyes in frustration so hard my head rolled back on my shoulders and pressed into the back cushion of the sofa. I groaned in frustration. "Damnit! I overfilled it!"

Going through the rest of my notifications, [Siren's Call] and [Open Door Policy] synergized for a Power Combo, giving me 40 Gems; [Backdoor Boys] and [Anal Obsession] were both Double Power Combos, giving me 36 Gems; [Casual Masturbation] was doubled because of its part in a Power Combo as well, giving me 10 Gems; and, something I'd not yet seen before, was a Triple Power Combo for [Need Butt Stuff], giving x5 to its Gem value for an addition of 30 gems. This was a total of an additional 116 Gems, 11 more Gems than I was hoping for. So now that was 11 Gems wasted.

Or so I thought...

Hi, Natalia Evescolt!
It looks like your Gem Bank has overflowed! This means that some Gems are lost, however, this also means your Gem Bank limit has been increased!
For having your Gem Bank overflow, please enjoy a +1 to your Gem Bank limit!
For earning a total number of Gems greater than your Gem Bank limit, please enjoy a +1 to your Gem Bank limit!
Your new Gem Bank limit is now 114 gems! Happy Customizing!

So then only 10 Gems were wasted, and I had a new total of 114/114 Gems. I mentally filed this information away - there were two ways to get your Gem Bank limit to increase, both by simply overflowing it, and earning a number of Gems in one lump sum that were greater than your current Gem Bank limit. Part of me remembered that had already happened when I got my Bonus Challenge rewards.

Then I got another notification.

Hi, Natalia Evescolt!
It looks like your Gem Bank is currently full, and you are currently earning Income from one or more of your Custom Girls at a rate of 1 or more Gems per minute. So these Gems won't be lost, we'll hold them for you for a little bit. Please note that we will only hold Gems for, at most, 30 minutes, after which your Gem Bank might overflow, and some Gems may be lost.
Keep up the good work and Happy Customizing!

Crap! I thought. I forgot about Marcie and Athena next door, having fun and probably earning me Gems with arousal levels over 100%. How many Gems had I really lost when my Gem Bank overflowed and the system decided to pause the income flow? I could probably figure it out later, but right then, I decided to clear some space immediately.

I purchased [Breast Increase, C-D], [Breast Increase, D-DD], [Asskicker Boots, w/pouches] and [Toned Goddess], for a total of 58 gems, bringing my Gem Bank down to 56/114 Gems, and then immediately jumping up to 58/114 Gems. I waited and watched another minute and my count went up to 59/114 Gems. Apparently, and I confirmed this by switching over to Marcie's page, she was still above 100% (107% currently). Athena's was hovering somewhere around 70%, which was respectable, but given that James (poor boy) was probably in his refractory period, and Marcie was hogging Roy's cock, she wasn't actively having sex of any kind at that moment.

I pieced together that, what had probably happened, was that Marcie had gotten another load of cum on her face and that had pushed her over the edge past 100% arousal, which had probably been about the time I was accepting my points for the new daily Custom Challenges, so, thankfully not too many lost. Looking at my income statement, I saw that I had lost only about 3 additional Gems before the overflow - bringing the total lost in this exercise to 13 Gems. I'd have to be more careful.

BUT!, I thought to myself, back to the issue at hand. Whew! This is so much to manage, this really is turning into a full time job! I complained silently to myself in my head (and maybe to June? If she was monitoring my brain at that time).

Time to make the "Girl Market Challenge" packages for Avery. I couldn't use the [Total Nudity] permanent challenge because Avery wanted to keep her boots. So I'd need to split this up into two parts, one part being [Always Topless] and the other being [Always Bottomless]. According to the descriptions, this meant Avery would still be allowed to wear footwear and things, so long as they were below the knee.

The first thing I had to do was accept the permanent challenges myself, then I could invite others. I bit my lip realizing what I was about to do... I was about to lock myself out of wearing clothes ever again. The idea was... enthralling. I accepted the Girl Market Challenges [Always Topless], [Always Bottomless] and [Always Barefoot], for a "daily income" of +4 Gems. I moaned with pleasure - my days of wearing clothes were over, I was forever naked now. My free hand was going to town on my vagina and I spread my legs wide to get a better angle for my masturbating arm, draping one leg casually over the sofa's armrest as I continued to get Avery's packages ready.

"You, um... you're masturbating quite a lot over there?" Avery said, perplexed.

I looked her way and smirked. "It's part of a daily challenge - mmmmm... [Casual Masturbation]... I'm going to be doing this until some time tomorrow, but I can't orgasm unless my anus is being stimulated."

"Ooo, so you're leaning into the ass-play theme, are you?"

"I figured I might as well."

"Probably best," Avery winked at me.

I finished up her challenge invites.

For the [Always Topless] invite, I added the incentives:

[Breast Increase, C-D]
[Red Eyes]
[Real Fangs]
[Toned Goddess]

And for the [Always Bottomless] invite, I added the incentives:

[Breast Increase, D-DD]
[Total Auto Makeup]
[Asskicker Boots, w/pouches]
[Legal Nudity]

And I sent the invitations.

Avery got pinged on her phone and looked at the notification for a little bit, hesitating on pushing the [Accept] button until, finally, she seemed to say "Fuck it!" with a shrug to herself and pushed the button. Immediately, I saw her body change - with a gasp and a single full body spasm, like a wave of energy running through her naked form, her skin tightened around newly toned and powerful muscle, her breasts swelled another cup size and her wide open mouth and eyes revealed sharp, pointed vampire-like canines and newly crimson irises, respectively.

She immediately picked up her compact and looked at herself, first her eyes and teeth, licking at her teeth with her tongue. "Of fuck yes!" she shouted. She looked down and slapped her hard, flat tummy with the light outline of muscle. "Oh wow!"

She picked up her phone again and immediately accepted the other notification's invite. Again, her body flopped back against the sofa and her body shifted, this time her breasts expanding yet another cup size to DDs, oddly buoyant and high and firm because of her [Tits Defy Gravity] bonus.

She jumped to her feet, phone in hand. "Do you have a big mirror I can use?"

"Yeah, my room, this way." I stopped masturbating for a moment as I got up from the sofa and, walking around it and to the hall, ushered Avery into my bedroom/workshop.

"Whoa," she said when she saw the clutter of boxes, disassembled drones and computers and my soldering bench and 3D printers.

"Yeah, it's a mess, sorry, mirror is here." I pointed toward my closet. The sliding doors to my closet were covered in floor-to-ceiling mirrors.

"Perfect!" Avery fiddled with something on her phone and, instantly, her entire body turned porcelain white. As I watched, her lips turned a sexy black shade, and glossy - then matte, then red matte on her upper lip and glossy black on her lower lip. She cycled through several preset make-up settings as I watched...

In my hand, my phone buzzed again. It was an achievement notification. It read:

Congratulations! You have earned a new Achievement!

NAKED DESIRE
Stay completely naked for 24 hours: COMPLETED!. +1 Gem Bank Limit. New Bonus: [Adapted Nudist]
Stay completely naked for 3 days: 1/3. +2 Gem Bank Limit Increase + Unlock New Bonus

I clicked on and read the description of [Adapted Nudist]:

[Adapted Nudist]
Your body is no longer bothered by minor or moderate environmental ailments associated with nudity, such as sunburn, sun damage, hypothermia, frostbite, injured bare feet and the like, and you are now comfortable in temperatures as low as 5° Centigrade.

Well that's handy! I thought. I flipped over to Girl Market and found [Adapted Nudist] on the marketplace for just 3 Gems. I purchased one to my inventory and sent it to Avery. "Hey, Avery, check your messages, I sent you a thing that will make you immune to sunburns and getting cold and stuff."

"Oh, thanks!" Avery said, her voice still cheery as she played with the makeup settings in the mirror.

This latest purchase brought me down, briefly, to 57 Gems in my Gem Bank, but it soon ticked up to 58 again, indicating that Marcie was probably still aroused beyond the 100% mark. Checking her profile, I could see she was slowly going down, now hovering around 103%.

I checked to see what I could do with these Gems, being proactive in investing the Gems lest they overflow and be lost again. Firstly, I was starting to see that the "pleasure exposed X" customizations were really meant more for users who wanted a particular Custom Girl to pleasure them, rather than others, as it tended to lead to a lot of chaotic behaviour that might not necessarily fit the intended context of a situation. I would prefer to program in volition, making a Custom Girl want to suck cock or eat pussy, rather than just do it automatically (though I saw the appeal if it was directed at the user). So, I resolved to change [Pleasure Exposed Erections] to something else for both Marcie and Athena. I opened Marcie's account and clicked the [+] icon beside [Pleasure Exposed Erections], and looked for something useful that was also 20 Gems, which I could switch to at the cost of 1 Gem. There were a lot of "Pleasure X" options, but, for the reasons stated above, none of them really appealed to me anymore. Then I saw [Enjoys Gropes]:

[Enjoys Gropes], 20 Gems.
Custom Girl will be flattered, pleased and aroused when others grope her, with or without permission, and actively encourage others to grope and fondle her.

That sounded perfect. I spent 1 Gem to switch it out for [Pleasure Exposed Erections]. And switched her and others' awareness of this to off, they would just think it was normal to grope Marcie and for Marcie to want to be groped, and Marcie would believe this was her own opinion on the subject, because, now, effectively, it was.

Then I realized this might have more immediate effects than I had first thought as, while Marcie had been at 101% arousal, and dropping, she suddenly went up to 102%, and I realized someone next door must have, of course, started groping her, raising her arousal levels. I waited another minute or so and, even though it was much slower than before, her arousal levels started going down again, dropping back to 101%.

I switched over to Athena's page. She was still at 68%, probably maintaining her arousal by watching what Marcie was doing. I contemplated giving her the same replacement for [Pleasure Exposed Erections], but, given how hard I was working to make her naked today, decided that maybe I'd go in that direction. [Always Barefoot] was the cheapest of the non-underwear based nudity customizations, and was conveniently at 20 Gems, so I gave it to her, rendering the girl now permanently barefoot.

The idea of her not being able to wear shoes reminded me that I wasn't able to wear shoes anymore, and that I wasn't able to wear any clothes anymore, and this spiked my arousal, as, along with the hand going to town between my legs, I was getting to the point where, under normal circumstances, I would be orgasming. I sucked in air between my clenched teeth and willed my free hand to masturbate faster and harder, trying to cum, but I couldn't.

I moaned pitifully.

"You alright?" Avery said, turning to face me. Part of me realized that she was absolutely beautiful, pale as the moon, black makeup around her eyes and on her lips - looking at this beautiful naked goth girl only made me hornier and want to come harder.

I dropped my phone and got on my knees, ass facing her, hand still between my legs, masturbating furiously. "Please...!" I begged. "Do my," I moaned involuntarily. "Do my asshole...! Please!"

After a moment I felt Avery's hands touch my sides, and I gasped at the tactile pleasure of her sliding her palms down my sides to my hips. Then I moaned as I felt her kiss my butt cheek. Then she must have sat up because I felt her hands on either hip, her thighs and waist pressing against my butt, she was simulating fucking me by gripping my hips and rutting her pelvis into my butt cheeks, knowing I couldn't cum, but giving me a simulated experience to further heighten my arousal.

I moaned in desperation for what felt like an eternity.

Then she pulled back from my body and I felt a hand sliding along my ass torturously slowly toward my butthole, stopping just short. Then I felt her hands pulling my butt cheeks apart, and one fingertip circling my virgin anus, teasingly. "Please...!" I manage between gasping moans, my vagina on fire from my hand's harsh, **** molestation.

Then I felt it. As her hands were holding my butt cheeks wide apart, I felt her soft lips touch my anus, and felt her hot, wet tongue press into me, wriggling and insistent.

I came instantly.
