Just imagine, we are most likely the first intelligent beings from beyond this place who will explore it and walk under it's magnificent trees and rock formations. What wonders we will see here, oh, it is so inspiring. Lennon, you must bring me a gift when you explore it. The captain will not let me go far from the ship, says it is too dangerous for me.\""}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "The days their journey had taken had barely registered to Lennon, as in fact he'd rarely even left his cabin. With his new research, and Eveth to keep him de-stressed, the half-fey hadn't seen any real reason to go outside much. Other than keeping the ship's enchantments going he didn't actually have many obligations, and he used all that extra time to relish in his transdimensional conjuration research. Eveth had turned out to be a capable, though also rather mouthy, assistant in those matters, and when someone finally knocked on his door to announce their arrival at a new world Lennon was pulled out of a week long stupor.\n\n\"Why yes, it certainly is very beautiful,\" he said in response to Alfa, gazing out at the mountainous world before them, curiously observing the movement of the fog, \"I wonder how many of our newly recruited crew will find themselves lost and eventually devoured in that wilderness.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Rafale", "content": "\"Oh, I hope not too many, I would have to lose so many lovely and nice friends and comrades,\" Rafale replied somewhat worried. Then she smiled once more, more softly now, as she added, \"I am sure their experienced and capable officers will take good care of them and keep an eye out for them. Especially on our new crew members, I am sure they are eager to go stretch their legs after this journey.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "", "content": "Narrator: And that was the moment in which something else grabbed everyone's attention. From behind the mountains and out of the fog and mist, at first barely visible, something moved forward, toward the Romana. It was easily bigger than said ship and vastly superior in swiftness and maneuverability, thanks to several long fins and a long, serpentine body. With a jaw immense enough to swallow several trolls raw and covered in thick plates, a creature of bright blue, purple and shimmering black swam, flew, out of the fog. With a head covered in thick scales and large, glowing eyes, the creature was truly magnificent as well as menacing. Especially as it was simply immense.\n\nFor a moment there was panic, before it was apparent that the fish, dragon, thing creature wasn't interested in the Romana. I simply flew past several hundred meters away from the starboard side of the ship, not even glancing at the Romana. It also became apparent that behind the fins of the long, serpentine body it left a trail of fog, glittering small ice crystals and sparkling magical dust. One could even call this beast a sort of rainbow snake. If not for the fact that it was also so menacing and intimidating."}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Rafale", "content": "\"My, that is something you don't see everyday,\}, {: , : , : I've seen bigger.\""}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Lennon watched the immense being emerge from the fog, cutting a swath through the skies like a literal mountain. It was no doubt the largest thing he'd ever seen, not having Germanius' advantage of associating with ancient dragons and wyrms. It was with rapt attention that Lennon continued to observe it cross the sky, noting with interest the various phenomenons that occurred in its wake. \"What a splendid creature,\" he said, just a hint of reverence in his voice, \"I can't even imagine the forces that must be at work for it to retain its flight, let alone what must sustain it. If this shard holds things even a quarter as promising as that, then I'd say we've struck gold.\Fastest vessel in the known universe, and still not fast enough for my tastes,\How about a bet, Germanius? The one who finds the most extraordinary gift for Alfa wins. She'll be the judge of course.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Germanius", "content": "\"I would guess the creature devours and breathes the raw magic of the vast emptiness and turns it into energy to stay afloat and move. However it is questionable if this creature is native to this shard or if it is an arrival like we are. Perhaps we will find something vastly different, who can say?\" Germanius said with a thoughtful tone and gave Lennon a small smile. For all his own somewhat brutish nature, he was far from dumb or uneducated, he knew fairly well how magic worked and what it could do, thanks to a very thorough education. Still, he couldn't compare to someone like Lennon, but he enjoyed a good conversation as the next man. Probably even a bit more. \\n\nHe turned to the side to see the crew do their duties and work the rigging and anchor, making ready to drop anchor and to take land. This was a time he had no part in, this wasn't his area of expertise. He knew how to do it quite well, he could take over easily, but this at the moment was Mirran's moment to shine.roleusernameMirrancontentShe was barking the orders and she was keeping a level head throughout it all, while Germanius could relax and simply wait.roleusernameLennoncontent\ Lennon said in short reply, returning to watching the Romana approach their new discovery. As the fungal jungle grew closer, the mists still making it impossible to pick out large parts of it, Lennon absentmindedly began scanning the wilderness for magical signatures. It was just a precaution in case the fog was magically created, he'd seen similar enchantments used in forests by fey to waylay or trap unwary travelers. Whether or not this was the case wasn't going to stop him from exploring of course, and the half-fey seemed particularly eager to finally get off of the ship.roleusernameMirrancontentNearby Mirran was yelling orders as usual, keeping the crew and especially the newcomers moving and working at all time. Anchoring a ship to a drifting stellar body was no easy feat as it turned out, and one little misstep could severely damage the Romana. This was the moment when the new crew had to prove themselves capable, or they'd be feeling Mirran's wrath soon enough.roleassistantnameNarratorcontentEvery experienced man and woman on the ship of course knew that the wrath of Mirran would be the least of their problems should they botch anchoring the ship. Being stranded on a far away unexplored shard could be a far bigger problem. or going overboard and falling into the abyss below. Or any other kind of unfortunate events, the wrath of a single individual was tiny compared to that. Still, mighty unpleasant.\n\nThe fog meanwhile turned out to be only slightly magic, it was mostly small crystals, spores and only the residue of magic long gone, for the most part it was simply fog. With something added to it. Quite thick and heavy fog, but like said, mostly just fog. Mostly.roleassistantnameGermaniuscontent\ Germanius asked with a slightly amused tone to his voice while behind them a young, fresh sailor was yelled at for being careless. Germanius was simply happy not to be on the receiving end of Mirran's wrath for the moment. \"Oh, and by the way, we shall both lead a party, separate parties of course, into the jungle. We need fresh water and the usual.\""}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "\"Your guess is as good as mine,\" Lennon replied with a shrug, continuing to gaze into the unknown wild and the mist looking for anything that would indicate either, \"with any luck we won't be losing any crew this time around. That's always a danger going into the unknown... I guess that's why the captain keeps insisting that we're the ones to babysit them.\" The half-fey glanced back to where a young sailor had just botched tying a rope, earning him a tongue lashing from their first mate. \"I'd go myself if I didn't have to carry back supplies.\"\n\nAt this point the Romana had successfully attached itself to the side of the shard, powerful anchoring ropes attached to solid looking rock formations on the ''shore.'' \"Well, looks like we're good to go. Try not to lose anyone out there, and let the best man win.\}, {: , : , : Yes, whatever you say. It's not like we would resort to sabotaging the other, would we?\"\nThis was only spoken in jest and a joking manner, he truly wouldn't sink that low. With someone else perhaps, but Lennon was a friend, or something like that at least, and Germanius had no desire to cheat on something so insignificant when dealing with someone he might lose over such behavior. Giving Lennon a last friendly clasp on the shoulder he turned around and went below deck to gather his gear and his men. Well, men and women, he wasn't particular about those facts."}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "", "content": "(OOC: First Lennon's party, then Germanius?)roleusernamecontent(OOC: Sure thing.)roleusernameLennoncontentNodding goodbye to his fellow officer, Lennon continued to stay where he was, watching the shard for anything dangerous as the Romana was pulled closer. He didn't need to organize a party, such affairs had Tristan already taken care of before they'd even seen the shard. If there was one thing he could always count on, it was Tristan realizing that Lennon would never actually organize an expedition force on his own. As such the identity and quantity of his party was unknown to him, all the way up until they boarded one of the boats going to the shore. It turned out to be a mixed band, around a dozen in total, and while Lennon knew the name of every person there he didn't exactly care much beyond that.\n\nFlying on an invisible wind the party arrived on the shard, joined by a number of similar vessels carrying the crew tasked with setting up their base camp. Their landing point was a fairly clear area near the edge of the world shard, the misty mushroom forest looming ahead of them. As Lennon placed his feet on the ground he inhaled deeply, letting the new air of this place fill his lungs. He wasn't going to admit it, but being cooked up in his cabin for a couple of weeks had made him long for some fresh air. \ he said to his party before setting into an easy stride, \roleusernameTristancontentTristan had picked those who could take care of themselves and knew what to do on such an expedition, along with two complete newbies who however were smart enough to learn from their betters. They secured the boats, they checked their equipment a last time and then set out into the jungle with no complaints and barely a word spoken. The thick canopy they entered was dark and gloomy, mushrooms, trees, giant ferns and plants not really identifiable creating a large, thick forest, swats of mist and fog here and there. And thanks to no sun or anything comparable above them, the illumination was sparse at best, more often than not it would be pitch black. If not for the glowing moss, fungi and small ferns, glowing in blue, green, red, orange and purple, casting the forest in strange, colorful light here and there, allowing for at least halfway decent visibility.\n\nOf course the jungle was also filled with live, birds, insects, small animals not seen but heard, creating a cacophonie of sounds around the visitors.roleusernameLennoncontentTreading new land was always a momentous occasion, and even Lennon was immune to the excitement of such a prospect. Who knew what kind of treasures just waited to be found here? Untapped resources, magical components, any number of things really. So it was that Lennon lead his small group on, having conjured up several spheres of light to properly illuminate the way. These particular magical constructs would follow their progress autonomously, making sure that they would not get lost in the dark of this sun-abandoned world. As they walked Lennon also made sure to keep an eye out, his magical senses sharpened to pick up anything of interest, be it magical or life signatures, or any signs of danger to his group.roleassistantnameNarratorcontentSoon the party of Lennon lost any contact to the landing point of them, the thick jungle and patches of fog made it easy to get lost and lose any sort of orientation. Luckily for the men, Lennon was apparently a very experienced man who had some nifty tricks up his sleeve, like the glowing construct following them and spending some much needed light. For several hundred meters into the jungle they found only rough terrain, slopes, thick vegetation and exotic plants and fungi, glowing in so many different colors that it was staggering to imagine this spectacle in full light.\n\nThat is until they come onto a large patch of land free of trees and fungi, only covered in small flowers and low ferns, a large clearing. However dominated by the heads of large, classical mushrooms. But without feet, just the heads, colorful and illuminated by glowing moss around them. And yes, this place was a nexus point for primeval magic.roleusernameLennoncontentHaving arrived at a place so different from what they'd seen so far, and so effused with ancient magic that it almost hurt Lennon's mind, the half-fey gestured for the party to come to a stop. \ he said simply, making a sweeping gesture with his hand which brought the glowing spheres he'd conjured to him. With another gesture he sent them skyward, the constructs merging together to form one large sphere, sitting in the sky with an ethereal glow. \"I'll need some time to evaluate the magical properties of this place. We'll make this our base camp for now, leave the containers here and split up in fours. Water and anything that looks edible is a priority, just don't try eating any of the funny looking mushrooms. The last thing I want is to drag your bloated, discolored faces back to the Romana.\}, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : What's that saying?\" he asked himself absentmindedly, continuing to look at the mushroom girl, \"The most colorful mushrooms are the most poisonous? You're certainly colorful if nothing else. Is there are reason you're not hibernating with the others?\" He didn't expect her to answer really, it was just a one-sided conversation as he tried to figure out more about these creatures.roleassistantnameMushroom girlcontentUnderstanding that she had been noticed, the mushroom girl stood as still as she could. Which wasn't very still, as her appendages from her head swayed softly in the air from left to right. For several moment she simply remained where she was, trying to become invisible, before she understood that this wouldn't really work. Thus she thought of something else.\n\nSlowly, and rather clumsily one might add, she turned around and began to run off as fast as she could. Which wasn't fast at all, in fact she was agonizingly slow, her pudgy legs moving only with great effort and without any grace to them. At least her nice little butt was swinging from left to right as well, if also very slowly."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Lennon watched with unconcealed amusement as the girl tried to escape his gaze one way or the other, her failed attempts at doing so strangely endearing. It was like watching a clumsy child run away in slow motion, an almost pitiful sight if it wasn't also quite adorable. He watched her rear side as she made her ''escape,'' noting with some interest that she shared a number of similarities with mammals despite her fungoid nature. His interest piqued, as she would indeed make a suitable observation subject for learning more about these mushroom creatures, Lennon began to casually follow after her. Making sure to move at just her exact speed, the half-fey followed along behind her as he watched her curiously. \ he said as he began talking notes to himself again, \roleassistantnameMushroom girlcontentThe fungus girl waddled further away, at least she would have if Lennon hadn't followed her. Now and then she stopped and turned to look if he was still following and then she would see him and be startled again. And be frozen again for a few moments. And then begin running again. And like before, she was dangerously slow, if also very cute and endearing. Suddenly she stumbled over her own feet and fell face first to the ground, remaining once more very still.\nSlowly she picked herself up again, checked then if Lennon was still behind her... and then began to run again. Well, jog. Straight toward the edge of the clearing."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Watching her try her utmost to escape him, Lennon had to wince as she fell on her face in her attempt to do so. For a moment he considered that she might have knocked herself out, but then she got to her stubby little legs again, slow though it was, and began her trek toward the edge of the clearing once more. Ahead of them loomed the mushroom forest, and Lennon contemplated whether to stop her from leaving her colony, or allow the girl to enter the forest. His curiosity won out however, and Lennon continued to trail behind her as moved to leave the confines of her home. \"Clear signs of a concept of fear, likely a prey instinct. Although I'm not sure what kind of creature would be hunting giant mushrooms, and if they are prey then how do they protect themselves while hibernating?\}, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : That's enough running I think,\" he said, his fingers grasping her strangely soft and oily skin. The way she felt in his hands, and how her cute little butt was presented in front of him, it was strangely alluring. \"Perhaps I'll start my examination here,\}, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : Would you look at that,\I guess some things are universal in evolution, I dare say you look absolutely fuckable my cute little mushroom.\}, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : I suppose you could count yourself lucky that the first outsider you meet isn't a predator,\" he said in amusement, slipping his fingers out of her, \"but I think I'll partake in you either way.\Let's see how well you respond to mating, it should be quite educational.\" The lewd grin on his face made it clear that such certainly wasn't his actual intent, but it wasn't like she'd made any sign of understanding his words before anyway. Without wasting another moment he pushed forward, spreading open her tiny flower, his cock spearing her from behind and stretching her obscenely to gain entry.roleassistantnameMushroom girlcontentThe fungus girl had no idea what was happening to her, all she understood was on an instinctual level that she was preyed upon by some sort of creature unknown to her and that she couldn't get away, that she was trapped. Also that her nether regions felt strange, funny, like they shouldn't do. She struggled and let out more of her pitiful small mewling sounds, yet remained helpless under this onslaught. Then, for her very suddenly, she was opened up, her nether regions filled with something big which did not belong there, and a somewhat louder, panting and moaning sound of pain and confusion came from her as her vaginal walls opened up easily, like well oiled sating welcoming the cock of Lennon.roleusernameLennoncontentLennon couldn't stop himself from moaning in pleasure as he burrowed himself inside the little mushroom girl, feeling her soft, warm, and well-lubricated insides welcome him with surprising ease. It wasn't anything he'd ever really felt before, a new sensation experience which he found himself to rather like. \"You're even better than I could've imagined,\" he grunted, grasping her silky rear as he forced himself further inside her love canal, reveling in the pleasure her body so readily offered him. Her tight little cunt was so new and different, giving him a newfound kind of pleasure, and he didn't waste even a second before he began moving. With short, brutal thrusts he began fucking her, every move bringing him further and further inside of her, his eager cock stretching her insides around itself as it gave him a silky smooth massage in its warm depths. He'd keep going deeper inside her until something stopped him, at which point he'd really pick up the pace.roleassistantnameMushroom girlcontentThe mushroom girl in turn couldn't really do anything to stop her assailant, yet she kept trying. Soft, mewling and moaning sounds of protest, cute and high pitched, came from her little mouth and her legs kept struggling and kicking with as much power as a newborn's legs would do. A rather weak newborn. She shivered and panted and her insides were on fire, all hot and tingling and strange but also good, it felt so wrong and queer and yet good to her.\n\nHer body was rather soft and elastic, all of it, and her tight, wet cunt stretched to accommodate Lennon's powerful organ, closing every time he withdrew and then stretched open again as he thrust in, spearing her open again and again. There was also rather little that kept him from going inside of her fully, her inner organs simply shifted out of the way when pushed and the outline of his cock was visible bulging out against her stomach lewdly, bulging out every time he thrust into her."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "The discovery that nothing was preventing him from simply plunging himself fully inside of her only spurred Lennon on further, going balls-deep inside the tiny mushroom girl with quick, powerful thrusts, her small frame rocking yet held in place by his hands. \"That's it,\I guess pleasure is universal, isn't it? Moan some more for me.\" An almost predatory grin was on his features as he continued to rail her from behind, the sound of their bodies slamming together reverberating throughout the forest around them, wet and squelching and meaty as he continued to practically rape this defenseless little creature. The half-fey could barely contain himself at this newfound pleasure, fucking her as he pleased, enjoying every second of it."}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Mushroom girl", "content": "More soft sounds of protest, weak and feeble, came from the Mushroom Girl as each thrust of Lennon's mighty cock into her overstretched little fuck-tube shook her entire body and rearranged her organs again and again.

She was completely helpless against this onslaught and she also had no idea what was going on, her underdeveloped mind unable to really understand what he was doing to her, only acting on instinct.\n\nFear, panic and the urge to flee mixed with the strange sensation of her nether regions being on fire and feeling so good at the same time, her body just so full that it made her feel like she was going to explode. Her limbs shook with each thrust into her, rhythmically, her breathing was controlled by this also and her moaning turned more and more lustful while her tiny opening oozed her slime and juices, dripping down Lennon's cock and onto the ground in thick globs."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Again and again, Lennon slammed inside her, the immensely pleasurable sensation of bottoming out inside such a tiny girl such a rare treat that he wanted to savor it. It took momentous willpower to hold on, her body just so delectable and perfectly fuck worthy that even lasting a few more seconds took its toll. Finally however she felt himself approach climax, the overwhelming warmth and wetness of her tight little body drawing out every last ounce of his desire. The sound of their midsections colliding intensified as he ruthlessly took her as he pleased, beginning to pull back her delightful little rear with every thrust, resulting in him going as deep as physically possible. Her unmatched wetness, thanks to the oozing slime and juices her body produced, meant that he could fuck her with equally unmatched speed and ferocity, the half-fey uncaring for any damage he might cause.\n\n\"Stars above! Yes!\" he groaned, leaning forward and practically pinning her to the ground under him, using his full weight and the ground to fuck her as intensely as possible. In the next moment he finally reached his limit, and Lennon's senses were flooded with incredible pleasure as he came, powerful streams of hot seed flooding the girl's insides as he bottomed out one last time, giving small, quick thrusts to deliver as much cum as he could manage in one go."}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Mushroom girl", "content": "The thick, hot spews of his sperm painted the insides of the girl white, blowing her up it seemed and letting her midsection swell to show a small tummy, as if she was pregnant while her cunt now oozed their mixed juices, soiling her legs and the ground. She led out a single, long drawn out pitiful whine and her appendages as well as her limbs shook one last time, before she became still. Her insides were a single great mess of her juices, slime, thick coating, tight organs and her cum filled womb and cunt, holding Lennon's dick in a tight but soft, warm and wet embrace. Though she was still mewling and somewhat trying to disengage from him, but for better or worse she had now given up, turning into a squishy, soft cum-rag for the moment.roleusernameLennoncontentFeeling the last of his orgasm played out, Lennon stayed inside of her for a while longer, making sure that he'd taken as much pleasure from her as he could. With agonizing slowness he pulled out of her, groaning in satisfaction as he did so, feeling himself slide out of her lovely fuck tube. \"Aah, that was something else,\" he said, running his cock in-between her perfect little butt cheeks, releasing a last few strings of cum onto her back, \"You're an absolute treat, my little friend.\}, {: , : , : }, {: , : , : Fucking hell!\Just full of surprises, aren't you?\" Sending a glare toward the girl on the ground. \"Let's see what else you've got.\" With that he bent down, conjuring magical energy to leash her tentacles together and to the side before grasping her jaw with his hand. In the next he forced her mouth open, stuffing his cock inside of her without hesitation."}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Mushroom girl", "content": "Seemingly not even really caring what he was doing, the girl was slowly trying to get up again. Simply get up and get going again, not attacking him or anything, simply trying to get away once more. That was when Lennon used his magic to bind her tentacles, to which she reacted with a soft sound of protest and confusion, apparently this was not very comfortable for her. Beyond her tentacle like appendages she had no defensive or offensive capabilities and as he knelt in front of her and grabbed her, she could only weakly try to pull away and even that brought nothing. Another sound came from her, before with a thrust his cock filled her mouth. A mouth that was just as soft, warm and wet as her cunt, perhaps even a bit more wet. A muffled squeak came from her, but beyond that she only struggled weakly to get away and her two tongues trying to push his dick out, ending in massaging it."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Feeling her struggle, her tongues fighting to push him out, it only made the satisfaction that much greater, tingling pleasure running through him. \"That's the spirit,\I'll have to thank you for that pain, how about we explore your throat a little?\" And with that he thrust in and down, the head of his cock forced down her throat in one fell swoop. Feeling that warmth and wetness only spurred him on further, brutally throat fucking her until he'd stuffed himself inside her all the way to the hilt without a care for her well-being.roleassistantnameMushroom girlcontentIf she had been a human, or elven or any other humanoid creature for that matter, girl, the small struggling thing might have been in big trouble at the moment. But she wasn't, she was something completely different. Utterly at Lennon's mercy, she did her best to resist him, biting down on his cock in her mouth and trying to push him out, but thanks to her lack of strength and lack of teeth for that matter, all she managed was to massage his cock with her full effort as he pushed in and out ruthlessly. She struggled, pulled and made gagging and retching noises, but over all she couldn't do anything. Her tight, wet throat was a wonderful cock holster and her mouth was expertly used for applying soft pressure to the base of his fat dick, a dick that once more had its outline shone clearly in her throat, bulging out obscenely every time he thrust in."}, {"role": "user", "name": "Lennon", "content": "Having grabbed her head with both hands, Lennon began throat fucking her in earnest, pulling her back onto him with every ruthless thrust, invading and stretching her throat with a series of grunts. \"Such a perfect little fuck toy you are,\" Lennon said even as spittle and pre-cum flew from her abused mouth, \"One could make a fortune selling your kind.\" Putting his whole body into it now he fucked her face brutally, her throat massaging him as well as her cunt had, perhaps even more so.\n\nIt wasn't going to last forever of course, and he felt himself reaching climax once more, groaning with pleasure as he finally came. Burrowing himself as deep down her throat as he could, Lennon released his seed directly into her waiting belly, thick globs of cum flooding her insides once more. He'd allow her to draw back, only to pull her back onto his cock and continue abusing her mouth as he came.

I know, because I used to tell it to myself too about your aunt... true she wasn't **my** sister, she was your father's, but I always thought that would be enough to keep her close. Then one day when I thought I'd hit the bottom... I did something, and I've been regretting it ever since. When Kimmy found out she was furious! We yelled, and fought, and in the end she took your cousins, and left. When that happened your father got mad at me too... he spent the next six weeks sleeping on the couch, and I'm pretty sure he was weighing the pros and con's of a divorce.

Now that she was gone, Veronie suddenly felt far more vulnerable than before, and she filled that void with leaning over and pulling Morena onto her lap, holding the smaller, by now very, very quiet, girl close. The green-haired girl listened to her mother speak and finally nodded after a few moments, not looking at her. \"I know... it's just... I don't know, if he weren't my brother, he would be my boyfriend. But he's not, he's my brother, and I can't have him in that way, not really.

Well, I hope it's a good one, I had more than enough bad ones for today,\" Veronie answered, though by the tone of her voice it was clear that she didn't think that this one would be a bad one.

As they passed Erlan's door, Veronie could hear the sounds of soft, indistinct moan, though if it belonged to Lisandra or Erlan, she couldn't say. Once they reached her door at last, her Mother entered the room, and flicked on the lights.\n\nVeronie's room had undergone a bit of a transformation in the hours since she'd last seen it. The mound of dirty laundry that had been accumulating in the closet, had been cleaned, folded and now sat neatly stacked in a laundry basket. The rug showed the tell tale marks of recent vacuuming, and everything had been dusted. The biggest, and most obvious change however was the bed; Veronie's old queen sized bed was gone, in its place sat a new California king sized bed! It the same size as her parents, and though the mattress was bare of sheets, and pillows, Veronie could tell it would be as soft as a fluffy cloud.\n\n\"I was hoping to be done by the time you got home, but you came back early. Your dad's out getting new pillows, sheets, and a blanket set now... I originally thought you'd be breaking it in with Erlan tonight... but regardless, this is your new bed, and it's more than big enough to be shared, and be it Erlan, or Lisandra, or Max, or anyone else, you're free to do so whenever you like. Your father even changed out the doorknob with one that locks, so you'll have your privacy.\}, {: , : , : Wow... wow... Mum, this is... wow, this is awesome!\So, you know what I want to do?\}, {: , : , : No...?\}, {: , : , : Well...\This is great! Mum, you're the best!\"\n\nThere was no bounce, or the squeak of springs as Veronie and Morena fell into the bed, rather it was like landing on a giant marshmallow. This was one of the expensive memory foam mattresses that were advertised on TV!

I've been wanting to do it again every since, so of course I'd like to make that a full time thing. You even got that nice, big, new bed with plenty of room! And I want to do real, proper date stuff! You know, overpriced dinner, and a move after, or a whole night at a theme park going from one ride to the next, or maybe we go to some stand up comedy club, and sit in front, and if the guy on stages asks about us, I can tell him 'I'm here with my girlfriend.' And I don't want that with just you, I want it with Lisandra too, I want all three of us to be each others boyfriend, and girlfriend, and yes that makes thing's more complicated, because I don't know if either of you would want that. Which brings us to the second part of what you said... I'd love to be the boyfriend you go shopping with and make carry all the stuff, and gaze longingly into his eyes, and stuff, even if we have to drive an hour away where nobody knows us, so we can do that in peace. What really worries me is that 'but' you left hanging at the end... it sounds to me like you want a second boyfriend you can be with out in the open, and keep me as your little secret... in short I'd be the side piece, or maybe the other guy would... either way, I'm not OK with that. And honestly, while the sex club idea we had sounded awesome, with me, and my friends being boy toys for you, and your friends... if it means going through what happened today, it's not worth it, not even for all of your friends, all at once. So I guess that's it. I'm sure I'll think of something I missed tonight before I go to bed, but right now, that's all I got.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Veronie", "content": "\"Soooo...\" She drew out the word, looking at him with a soft, somewhat shy expression. \"You want to have both me and Lisandra... and you don't want me to have someone else as well. Is that what you want? No judgment from me, I can understand that, but...\That's just the impression I am getting now. And I wouldn't be okay with that at all.\}, {: , : , : Yeah... I know.\I **do** want you to have someone else... I just want us both to have **the same** someone else, and I want that someone else to be Lisandra! Your right that I can't be the one you hold hands with, smiling as you walk down the hall, but she could... and you and me? We could be together every night.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "name": "Veronie", "content": "\"I get where you come from and I appreciate the honesty, but...\" She looked a bit lost for the moment, before shaking her head. \"I like Lisandra, I do. She's great. But she isn't my special someone, I'm not into her that way. Honestly, at the moment I am not into anyone that way, except you and we two together are complicated. For... the obvious and already mentioned reasons.\I am happy for you and Lisandra, I would hate for you two to not work out. And I'd love to join you two now and then, or have fun with you or Lisandra alone, but... I want an Erlan for myself for whom I am the real girlfriend. Not that I have one available at the moment of course, but perhaps there will be someone there in a year or two or in a month or whatever.\""}, {"role": "user", "name": "Erlan", "content": "\"But you would be my real girlfr...\" Erlan started, his voice pained, then broke off. His face going through a series of emotions, hurt, anger, rejection, and sadness chief among them. At last he sighed, \"Well, then I hope you find what it is you're looking for, just don't come looking for me later, because I'm not up for being a Plan B. And no, I'm not interested in 'just having fun sometimes' while you're out looking for a better deal either! Because that road just leads to more days like today, and ends with us not being together anyway. If my only options are end things with you now; or letting you keep kicking my emotions in the dick, only for you to eventually ditch my when you find someone else, I'd rather just rip that band-aid off now, and be done with it!\"\n\n\"So is there anything else? Because if not, I'd like to be alone.\}, {: , : , : Fine... whatever...\}]} |
