Settling In and Adventures In Buying In Bulk Pt 2

Sasha rolled out of her bunk. That was an awesome nap! Good food, good beds... she could get used to this!

But she sighed as she looked over at her bunkhouse mates. They were resting now, but they had been acting suspicious when she had come in earlier. *Definitely going to try to "escape",* she thought. She slipped on her boots and opened a kitchen cabinet and found some jerky! She stuffed some in her mouth and the rest into her pocket as she went out the door, breathed deep and looked around. *Who would want to escape from this?*

She shook her head and went to the barns. Time to start earning her keep! Sasha worked diligently and happily. She liked animals so it wasn’t a hardship for her at all... and it wasn't like they were full of animals either. Just a few. Pretty easy work.

After she finished she decided to inventory the tack room. At one point in time this must have been a huge outfit. At least everything was well maintained and cared for.

She thought about how lonely it must have been living here by oneself. Walt seemed like a really good guy! She was glad he wasn't alone anymore.

"Being alone isn't much fun for anyone," she said in the mostly empty barn. It was quiet. If it wasn’t for the occasional sound of the horses it'd be silent. Just her and the silence and the old photographs on the wall... she put another piece of jerky in her mouth and decided to finish up her afternoon chores and then head up to the main house.

"She's gone."

The Baroness, Demona and Mystique all looked. The energetic bottomless pit was gone as well and and the other foxgirl was definitely asleep. The darkelf had left earlier and hadn't returned.

They nodded. Now was the time. None of them wanted to work together and certainly none of them trusted each other. But they all had the same goal.

Exciting the bunkhouse with their supplies they split up and headed different directions. They avoided the route Sienna had took so two of them, Baroness and Mystique, would try going down along the sides of the Valley from two different directions.

Demona headed past the house and started hiking up the mountain. She stopped after awhile to give herself plenty of rest. When night fell and she changed she'd try going over it down the other side. The "plan" was different routes in four different locations.

Pirotess "woke" from her reverie. There was a slight change in the forest. She was still growing used to it, but she could sense that much.

She looked and from her vantage point saw some deer move to the southwest. Then a flock of birds to the southeast. The others were already on the move. Which meant the gargoyle was ascending the mountain towards the northeast. She was supposed to go northwest.

She stood... and waited.

"Change your mind?" Sienna asked. "I won't tell."

She shook her head. "No, but thank you. I was just thinking to myself."

Sienna smirked. "Lien for your thoughts? Or is it credits in this world? Coins?... doesn't really matter I suppose..."

Pirotess understood. "You can have this thought for free... if you keep it to yourself that is..."

Sienna nodded. "My lips are sealed."

Pirotess took a deep breath. "The pollution isn't as bad here. The land is surprising bountiful despite it's harsh and toughness... it's good here... not trapped in some stinking city... I can see how you became happy here."

"Yes," said Sienna. "Which is why you feel you have to leave now."

"It is," Pirotess agreed.

"Good luck," Sienna said. She didn't add see you in the morning, though she felt certain that was how it would go.

"Good luck to you too," Pirotess said. Then she started moving from tree branch to tree branch more graceful than a squirrel, lighter than a feather. As easily as one would skip down the road.

Sienna nodded. "We're all fools one way or another." She checked for bears and then climbed down and made her way for home thinking about a late lunch.

"Why are we getting naked?"

Kali shook her head but patted the young lady. "Many of you new arrivals have nothing besides a standard set of clothing you came with. Spare sets for us was one of the first things Walter did when we arrived and then he had some fashion assistants measure, fit, tailor and help us pick oit new clothes. I'm sure he intends to do something similar for you all."

Most of the new ladies had stripped down to their underwear and while they were embaressed Penny, Neo, Pyrrha and Blake were scanning tags with codes that brought up the exact same item for purchase so they could get several spare sets. Then Friday would put in a purchase.

"Only you and Raven came with nonstandard custom clothing. Wouldn't you like to wear something else other than that bunny suit?" Kali asked. "For that we have to measure you so everything fits properly the way it should. We're lucky that Haruna is also a seamstress!"

Haruna nodded. "It might take me a few tries though. I'm not yet completely familiar with measurements in this world."

Ilulu looked down at the bunny suit and shrugged. "This is fine though. It reveals more of my chest but it actually covers more than I usually wear... oh except for the T-shirt thing and the uniform I wore at the shop. I guess I would like those now that I think about it. OK... "

Ilulu strips down. Everyone stops what they're doing and stares. Haruna looks at her tape measure and hopes it's big enough. No one says anything except for Neo who shows everyone Ilulu's "standard outfits" and something about scales.

"Oh, yeah I can make that one." She says. "It's just my scales."

"That one leaves even less to the imagination," says an embarrassed Glynda.

"And this ones just a T-shirt and crocs! Hardly fashionable. Why with your figure dear you should dress appropriately for it!" says a slightly tippsy Willow. She had a few drinks before hand to "settle" her nerves before stripping down.

Ilulu looks down at herself. "You really think so?" She looks up. "But you and Glynda are both so beautiful, Willow! If I had your bodies I think I'd want to show off even more!"

Glynda is surprised and embarrassed and Willow is flattered! "Oh you're so precious on top of cute! You know..." she looks at herself in the mirror. "Maybe you have a point dear... thank you, Ilulu."

"You know," said Sasha looking at Ilulu. "I suddenly have a hankering for watermelon! I can't wait for summer!"

Senko looks thoughtful. "I wonder if I should change my appearance. My old senpai had a much bigger... endowment. I could do that..."

Neo taps her arm and shows her a text. [It's fine. Walter likes all body types. Ours too... a lot!]

"Oh my!" Senko blushes and smiles putting her hands on her cheeks. "Thank you, Neo. That is good news. Oh deary me!"

Manami squees. "Are you saying he also likes short and petite girls, Neo?!"

Neo nods and smiles dreamily. [Yes... and he knows what to do with them!] An intense gossip session starts that eventually leaves poor Manami overloaded and having to sit down.

"That's true," Tsuyu says looking around. "He certainly does seem to like all kinds of body types. Ribbit." She looks at herself in the mirror.

"Sí." Said Roberta. "Perhaps Master Walter is the type to appreciate all kinds of beauty... maybe he doesn't mind muscles?" She also looks at herself.

Pyrrha looks at the both of them and nods. "Tsu is very lovely and Roberta I know for a fact he also enjoys a well defined body." She blushes.

Haruhime blushes and quietly wonders if he likes tails. He has several girls with tails. He's out with two of them now... she feels faint and sits down next to Manami.

Both Roberta and Tsu blush while Neo and Sayoko give each other thumbs-up.

"Well I'm not doing any stripping down," Raven said looking at the naked Ilulu being measured while hiding her body under her cloak.

"Why not?" Ilulu asked. "There's nothing embarrassing about it. We're all born naked. You'll have to get measured eventually. " Then she grins and covers her mouth teasing. "Or would you rather wait until Walter's here?"

"No!" Raven protests loudly then quietly. "...it isn't like that..." she sighs. "Fine! Let's just get this over with before he comes back..." she stripped down too. Since she was a modded variant she needed to get accurately measured too.

There's nearly a similar reaction again as when Ilulu stripped moments before.

"...please don't stare..." Raven asked throughly embarrassed.

Everyone tries to look away until a naked Ilulu runs over and hugs Raven laughing happily. "Don't be shy! You're lovely! Come on!" She drags her over for measuring. Everybody's heads wobble just a bit.

Then there's a knock at the door. "Excuse us!" And then Aela, Lydia and Serana came in. "We were told we could board the next... trans... port... wow!"

Serana bites her lip while Lydia covers her eyes. "Sorry for interrupting!"

Ilulu waves "Hi!" All the other ladies are red except for those who few who are dressed. Kali however clears her throat! "Not at all! Infact you three are right on time!"

Everyone turns their direction and the new arrivals gulp. "Strip!"

Walt looked at the purchase request from Friday and authorized it.

They'd had to avoid some witches in baking who were getting candy house making supplies. Walt didn't like to judge but they were definitely not up to any good.

They avoided getting stepped on by a enormous Toy Story Rex that some kids had hit with some growth ray or something in the snacks aisles. He kept crashing into things, chips and popcorn going everywhere, and apologizing while everyone tried to get him to just stop.

They defended their claim to a pallet of canned Tuna from a bunch of half-feral catgirls. Ahnassi had been surprisingly fierce. "Hunt their own. My family has claimed this prize!"

They'd even intentionally "accidentally" helped a Dr. Jones by tripping up his pursuers. Walt and Indy nodded to each other as they, Marion, Ahnassi and Lita went their separate ways.

But, for better or worse, it had been a pretty standard trip to Costco for the most part. And they'd managed to fill a lot of their list already. They were currently making their way through a residential section of the store watching employees and customers climbing up to or getting out of their homes. Ahnassi and Lita both trying to wrap their minds around that thought.

He decided to take everyone to the food court and take a break. He knew a "safe" one but they'd had to skirt around a seedy section of Costco. It was still visable from the food court.

"What would you ladies like to eat?" He asked.

Lifts-Her-Tail points towards the redlight district, ""Glazed Holes" is that a bakery? Maybe they have sweet rolls?"

Walt looks at the establishment that is definitely not a bakery. "Hmm... i doubt it, Lita... how about something from over here?"

Ahnassi points towards another sign at the redlight district again, "Ahnassi, sees a cafe. "Booba tea" and "breast milk lattes", yes?"

Walt sighs and looks at the both of them. "You ladies are having fun, aren't you?"

They both laughed. "You're so fun to tease, still." Ahnassi says and strokes his face. "Just like old times."

Lifts-Her-Tail giggles and takes his hand. "Apologies, Master Walter. It's not fair for us to team up on you. It's just nice for us to have this time together with you!"

He smiles and kisses both of them. "It's fine. I'm enjoing the both of your company too!"

"Oh, Damn! Tha's so nasty! Scales and fur! LOL"

"Look at grandpa getting his groove on with those two freaky bitches! Don't do that shit in public with those things! People are trying to eat! Hyuck hyuck!"

Ahnassi and Lita both look down, hurt and embarrassed. Walt stands up, "Excuse me a moment ladies."

He turns to see their hecklers. Sure enough they're a couple of trash lowlifes. "Aww... did we spoil their date?" "Looks like. At least they know to be ashamed to show themselves in public! Look gramps is about to run away!"

Walt walked right up to the both of them. The color drains right out of the trash couple's faces. He towers over them. "D-dude...y-you mad, b-bro?" "W-we was jes' foolin'..."

"You owe them, and everyone here, an apology," he said. "Do it."

"We don't have to-" "T-there's security-"

Walt smiles coldly. "You think I give a shit or that they'll get here in time to "save" you? I bet they call in a clean up crew for the aisle that'll get here first."

The two swallow hard.

"Apologize," Walt says.

"...sorry..." "...yeah..."

"What?" Walt asked. "Speak up!"

"Sorry." "Yeah, Sorry."

"I still can't hear you," Walt clenched his fist. His knuckles popped and sounded like billiard balls clacking in the silence. "Must be my old age catching up to me. Last chance and make sure everyone can hear it!"

They both shout, "W-we're so s-sorry!"

Walt jerks his thumb. "You're both going to get on the train and go to the otherside of the store now, you sorry sacks of excrement. And pray to whatever almighty power you believe in that our paths never cross again. You both got rude fucking mouths. Might want to see to fixing that before it gets you in real trouble someday. Go on! Get!"

They both fled with a "yessir!"

Walt takes a breath, puts a smile back on his face, and returns to the table. He kisses both Ahnassi and Lita again. "You ladies decide what you want?"

They reached out their hands to his. "Yes."

Walt nodded and smiling, squeezed their hands. "Me too."
