Out on the Town

Hi, before the actual diary entry on each chapter we're going to have some details about the world that will inform what you are about to read, in this case, The Bandersloop Empire.

The Bandersloop Empire is what happens when you combine IRL psychiatric models with the multiverse physics engine that is the rules of 3.5 Edition D&D and Pathfinder 1st Edition.

Simply put, no one WANTS to be Evil. The evilest people in history all thought they were doing the right thing, maybe not the way they WANTED to do it, but for the right reasons, at least.

You can't say that in D&D, because morality there is objective, not subjective. In D&D it is flat out better to kill someone than enslave them, in fact, murder can be a good act which pushes your alignment towards good, if you say, assassinated a tyrant.

Now consider the Paladin.

A Paladin, in order to be a Paladin, MUST be both Lawful, that is to say, supporting of law and order, and Good, which got an entire book to outline the rules for what makes a Good person in D&D.

This makes them a giant pain in the ass to roleplay with if their player is doing their job right, but in terms of their setting impact, unbelievably powerful.

Because morality is objective in D&D, and paladins exist in the game so prominently, Paladins must have the ability to sense when an action would be an evil one, otherwise, none of them would ever even become Paladins. This, in turn, means a Paladin is the ultimate judge and arbitrator and can be trusted at all times to behave in a morally upright fashion.

Ipso facto, Paladins would quickly become the equivalent of the FBI for most nations, finding evil and rooting it out.

The attitudes and behaviors that allow evil to thrive in our world exist because they can be evolutionarily advantageous. "all it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing" paladins instinctively understand this maxim, and so, they do something about it: they find those benefiting and profiting from evil: AND THEY KILL THEM. This, in turn, makes being evil suddenly Incredibly DIS-Advantageous evolutionarily speaking. Moreover, the attitudes that lead to evil behavior in sapient beings have an instinctive component, yes, but you either learn to embrace your basest instincts, your most noble ones, or a mix of both. Paladins, being in tune with their highest instincts, see the problems of the world and that they all are interconnected, and so try to attack them at all levels, branches, trunk, roots, and seeds.

To quote an old Catholic maxim "give me a child for his first seven years and I will answer for him the rest of his life". Because the paladins would become the keepers of the law, the law would be fair and equitable. This, in turn, would cause a highly motivated and productive population. This, then, causes innovation and problem solving, and since the paladins and their allies will quash any attempts by the (greedy, wrathful, etcetera,) to upset the applecart, this will continue for a prolonged period of time. Because the good times just keep rolling on, children will be raised in happy stable homes, causing them to grow up into sane and well-adjusted adults, simultaneously increasing the number of potential Paladins and decreasing the number of troublemakers for them to chase.

What do you do with the extra paladins you have lying around being anxious they can't help people cause no one needs any help? Missionary work of course! Just because this theoretical kingdom has been squared away doesn't mean the rest of the world is doing so great, so off the young Turks who couldn't get jobs with law enforcement go to find evil to fight elsewhere!

And bang howdy, are the rulers of lands where the paladins didn't take hold not going to like that because all it takes to start a rebellion in an unjust society is the people there believing they can win, which with paladins to help them find the king's spies they CAN...

The newly victorious rebellion will doubtless be grateful to the paladins that helped them, they might even make one the new monarch...

And, oh snap, just like that, the paladin kingdom, (let's call it "Bandersloop", for; reasons,) has become an empire because that Paladin King or Queen will instinctively know that the two realms remaining separate countries will eventually lead to conflict, so they marry their heir to the Bandersloop heir and the two realms merge. Now you have a Paladin run EMPIRE, oh boy, here go the missionaries again, with even more backing...

What's this? Does a rival empire want to quash this before it gets out of hand?

It's already too late.

Because the Paladins can detect Evil in people, there are no traitors to the Bandersloop cause, whereas lawful/neutral Bandersloop people can be very effective spies in enemy territory, finding both good individuals who want to help the Paladins win for moral reasons and evil people they can bribe. The rival empire loses the war, and to keep the populous safe from the chaos of a failed state, Bandersloop annexes its territory.

I bet you can see where this is going...

After a few hundred years the Bandersloop Empire owns most of the world, and the rest of it is being very careful to not give them a reason to invade. In fact, most of the rest of the world is probably full of overall Chaotic/Good people because the paladins respect the Law, but destroying Evil is their primary mission, not destroying Chaos.

So basically you have one immense Lawful/Good Empire and dozens of much smaller Chaotic/Good republics, with nowhere left for evil to hide.

Now what? Those Paladins need something to fight, its in their nature...

"There's only one way to go from here, one way to go! It's logical it's clear, there's only one way to go from here! Without a doubt, the only way to go from here is OUT..."

The stars above beckon, but we won't discuss that for a chapter or two...

2nd Argentum, IRSY 1066.

Hello again, you lovely receptacle of my thoughts and emotions!

Yesterday was the first of the year, and if you've been reading these diaries you know what that means: CLOTHES SHOPPING!

In the Bandersloop Empire, (where I live with Madness and Mars,) it is traditional to buy and/or make and present five genuinely NEW items to each member of the family on the first of the year to take off the cess of Calibration. For me, that always includes new clothes!

I admit it, I'm a fashionista, but my husband and I can afford it and we live in the Imperial Capitol of Realmhearth! There are just so many good fabrics and styles to chose from! (And, being a demoness in a very angel dominated nation, you have to dress well, even if you have been redeemed...)

We went out to the family tailor with Mars mom and dad, Margret and Aries, (both tenured professors at the Imperial Colege of Magery,) and his brother and sisters, on their new 10'x20' magic carpet, taking it through its paces by stopping for brunch at an exclusive rooftop restaurant called 'Le Auberge'. I got a salad and Mars made a promise which he totally delivered on later by ordering oysters and pineapple...

At the tailor's they had some beautiful dark green silks that I just LOVED TO DEATH! I ordered three dresses in them including this one slinky number that's going to be for the bedroom only and spend most of its time on the floor...

My other two dresses I ordered are going to be this fantastic red velvet getup and a sensible sky-blue cotton sundress for next summer.

We also went to the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art to view Donna Isabella Perez' gallery of paintings, on loan from the regional museum of Espania Province this month only. The place was mobbed, but I had fun. Mars and I were the only members of the family allowed into the 'adult' section of the exhibition as we are over 21, except his parents who chose not to tour that part, even though we offered to watch the quads. The paintings were breathtaking, I particularly enjoyed "husband nursing from his wife" as it reminded me of what Mars does to me on a nightly basis, and that got me a little wet...

After that we went to the noon service at the High Temple of the Suns to celebrate their defeat of Islik and return to the world, then it was back to the main family residence to open presents!

I didn't get anything especially exciting, except a nice steel dildo from Mars, (the bumpy one I've had my eye on,) and a rubber ball gag designed to be put on and removed by yourself from Margret, "So you can relive the pressure in the middle of the night," as she put it. I could tell the quads were embarrassed but they're old enough to start thinking about that sort of thing, they're going to turn 19 in a few months, they should be looking to start families of their own already! The other presents were nice, but not super special, a few wand blanks and blank scrolls for my studies from Indra, a set of emerald earrings from Dutchess Valeria, (who was with her own family, of course, but the gesture is nice,) a basic Ioun Torch from Aries, (made in one of the artificer classes he teaches as a demonstration,) and some hand-knit cashmere sweaters from the quads.

My gifts were well received, especially the annotated book on summoning for Mars brother Indra, and we all were dropped off at our respective homes or apartments around twenty hundred hours.

Getting home we found the sitter fallen asleep on the couch, with Madness asleep next to her in the rocking cradle. We, of course, woke her, paid her the agreed amount plus a generous tip, and sent her on her way. Madness woke not long thereafter and needed changing and nursing, but went back to sleep readily.

THAT was where the real night's fun began! Having watched Madness nurse, Mars, of course, wanted his turn at my breasts, and I was quite happy to let him! He finished deflating my right breast and drank deeply of the second before he was full, and I came twice during it, squirting a bit the second time!

Having drunk his fill, Mars, as usual, wanted to fuck, and though I felt tired, I admit I was still eager! I first sucked him to full hardness, then we got into bed and he got on top, (I was feeling kinda tired, remember, ) and plowed into my drenched cunt with wild abandon! Our lovemaking lasted about fifteen minutes and I came again, twice, squirting both times! Finally, Mars busted his nut into me, and my body absorbed his semen as the nectar-of-life that it is!

I haven't mentioned this in a while, so I'm going to remind whoever's reading these books of something important, (and also in case it's not a reminder because this is the only diary which survives,) redeemed though I am, I'm still a Succubus, and as such, I need other's cum to survive. I can go no more than a month without drinking or absorbing through pussy or ass a man or woman's ejaculate or I will get sick, and if I don't have it for a year-and-a-day, I'd die! This isn't a problem if you are a virgin, as I was until the day I married, but now that I'm a woman, everything has changed, and I require a man's or woman's cum to live. Even going a week without it is like a human going 24 hours without eating, I feel shaky and weak and very hungry, a hunger which no amount of mundane food can appease...

This is part of why I love Mars so, he understands my needs, and takes care of them. We've hardly ever "missed a day", except the month right after Madness was born when I just felt like utter shit and not sexy at all. Even then he would jack off into a cup for me to drink like cough syrup to stay healthy, and I was grateful that he gave me the space I needed to get better.

But that's enough out of me, you fucking giant book of future memories, It's just past dawn and breakfast won't cook itself, I've got to express my milk for the morning and start making food for my lovely husband, he's going to need his strength today... };-D
