Charles Patricius

[Apollymi]

Anais heard out the response of the invitation to take part in their little game. Her eyes shifted to Yuuya and she recognized his kind of disposition... for the odd reason of sharing it herself. She didn't know the exact reason for the lad's combined skittishness and eagerness, but she recognized it for what it was. As such she made the decision to try as earnestly as possible to befriend the lad, knowing that it was like to find it difficult to make friends in the first place. Moving on from that in the immediate future, she was left to share a few more words with her mentor. It would appear that she could grow a harp if she wanted to, instead of carrying one around. "Oh? I might need that lesson a bit earlier than most, it sounds like it'd be worth it to me," she murmured seeming to think it over. There was the added bonus of her not needing to worry about drinking, according to Ailen he could take care of either the negative after effects or the bad feelings associated with high level intoxication. "Shishou," her eyes were large and almost watery. 'Yosh! Shishou has the recovery... we are drinking for the first time, no regrets!~' Sinais said happily. This was truly fortuitous. In truth, even before entering this world, Anais was quite used to taking care of drunk people, to be able to partake without risking anything was quite the indulgence she'd never thought to get.

Speaking of indulgence it seemed that Yuuya was up for one. As he pulled his card, he drew seven and while Charles's hand almost immediately touched the ceiling it would have been followed by Anais and Sakura in order after their brain's processed the information. Oh, but Yuuya seemed to think the better of disturbing the girl who was stretched out over him and couldn't think of which thing to lift, so he'd lifted his cup. A giggle escaped Anais as she hadn't expected that, but knew she would have made a similar decision. "Good on you," she commented absently. And then the cards were passed over to Sakura who took them and went about it in a manner similar to everyone else, she took a card from the top and turned it over. "Three... it's for me?" she said seeming to think about it only briefly. Anais took a look at the card, the three Sakura had drawn was the three of hearts. Hm, she liked that... she'd be, using that in the girl's motif for her cup now that she was thinking about it. Sakura would drink again only to hold her cup out afterwards to be refilled and hand the deck back to Charles as it was now his turn.

As the game continued, Martha was left to learn more about the logic of Astolfo and how it related to her. As far as her understanding of the lad was concerned he seemed to only be thinking of a momentary thing for himself. "Anywhere be here with me obviously, don't be dense," Martha argued her point but she was still not really successful. It wasn't as if she didn't understand the draw of sexuality and she wasn't being purposefully obtuse she just didn't see herself, given her general attitude, as someone people would be interested in sexually. Well, according to Astolfo she was exactly this. He claimed that he'd not asked her on a date, and she wasn't implying that he had. She simply didn't think about something like a tryst with the lad for any real reason, it seemed like the sort of thing that had to be a joke. Even her most recent date before this one had seemed like that sort of thing... was it not? Was she simply damaged by her own thinking. Was she being led astray by simple human hormones? Well the lad at her back obviously was, given the raging erection and the idea that she should take responsibility. "Oi oi, it's not my responsibility to fix something you did to yourself," she claimed ah, but she was still almost moaning. Well, was there really a problem if she did something? There were all the potential pitfalls of shifting one world to another. They were on this adventure together where she might find out some strange circumstances surrounding the lad. Though he claimed he wanted nothing serious and this was fine, she wasn't sure if such a thing was what she wanted either... would simple sex fix her problems? Did she simply need to feel wanted? Was that fair when she wasn't sure what she wanted, but her body was reacting? Well this was something to consider.

[Bloodedge]

Another lesson was requested by Anais, drawing Ailen's attention right away. She had come a long way since the beginning. Knowing how lessons would always be delivered, she urged him to provide one earlier than normal? "Well, the lessons are yours to seek as you see fit. If you wished to learn the methods right now, I would teach you right now," he assured. Alas, he knew that wasn't a very likely scenario at all. He had no existing expectations for a drunken Anais, but he was almost certain a sober one would make no such request in the company of others. Well... most others, he should say.

Sakura's first draw was one that made her the drinker. She didn't seem to have any reprehensions about draining her cup, but as Charlemagne watched her do so, he had a rather intrusive thought. What would she be like intoxicated? Why did he think that? Well, there was no ridding himself of the thought now. All he could do was silently contemplate that while taking the deck from her. Charlemagne also considered the possible functions of his grail, and just by thinking for a few moments... the grail linked itself temporarily to the group's cups, filling Sakura's empty vessel remotely. "... Alright, that's cool!" he exclaimed, placing the grail itself in the floor to free up some space. With that out of the way, he flipped the next card. The two of hearts was his pull. "Ah! Two is for..." Much consideration occurred over the next few seconds. Everyone participating had been through at least one drink, with both Yuuya and Sakura having seconds. Surely he could bend the rules a bit to keep things interesting. "You!" he announced, his cup extended toward Anais in gesture. "... And me. I don't think there's an official rule that says I can't do that. Or... you could take two~"

Martha claimed the 'others' she mentioned were anywhere but here. Well, Astolfo had no need of a response from her. "But you're here. And I'm not dense ─ I'm stiff," he countered as his rod pulsed against her. She had done nothing to truly discourage him verbally, and she had physically only encouraged him thus far. There was a simple fact that Martha obviously wasn't onboard with as of yet. That, however, was Astolfo's greater purpose. "I'm not going to waste time mining rocks when there's a diamond right in front of me! That would be stupid!" he added. Whatever Martha was thinking, she insisted that his erection was no responsibility of hers. Nonsense. Astolfo didn't stiffen himself, and neither did any of the others. "Well I didn't get a boner from the flying death horses! Lookit!" In that moment, Astolfo abandoned his act of grinding. He moved his still-groping hands in one aggressive movement, molesting Martha's chest more thoroughly while simultaneously rushing the thestrals. The slight bump in the carriage would be enough to lift both drivers slightly. That lift, in turn, would be enough for Astolfo's manhood to slip under the saint, where its length would be on full display if she looked between her legs. "You made it like this; it's for you~!"

[Apollymi]

Anais requesting to learn something was oddly enough a fairly innocuous statement. That being said, Ailen's response to it, made it immediately something much worse than it could have been. 'HOT! IT'S FUCKING HOT!~' her brain immediately flew into a tirade. But aloud she didn't immediately respond. No, instead her eyes shifted towards her mentor and she fully processed what he said. She wasn't that open of a person, but he'd still make himself available to her. Her eyes were focused and then closed as she quieted her more sinful thoughts. 'Don't quiet me, we could be breaking, I mean learning from... Shishou~' mentioned her inner self. 'We're going to slut hell,' she mentioned to herself. 'YES THAT'S THE FUCKING IDEA!~' her inside voice was violent and loud. Loud enough that even Yume was beginning to stir, just a little. "That's... good to know, but I didn't mean right just now or anything..." she offered once her eyes opened. She was quite drunk but not that drunk. 'We could be!~' Sinais was definitely going to be a problem whenever she actually became a person.

While Sakura drank she watched as Anais cycled through a great number of emotions. Many of them related to lust, but that didn't seem to be a problem for the lass. This was part of the reason she found this group so interesting. She was obviously very aroused, drinking hadn't done her any favors yet... she was resisting. That was interesting to see, it made her wonder why. But there were other things more interesting. Like Charles turning his grail into a dispenser of sorts and filling cups in an automatic sort of way. And drawing his card and naming it. A two was for you... which meant he chose someone to drink two. And he chose Anais, but also chose to take one himself. That seemed to be related to some sense of fairness, but how would his friend respond? Well, Anais looked at Charles for a second or two after avoding direct eye contact for a while to keep her thoughts quiet. "Charlie I thought you just betrayed me..." she murmured. 'DRINK TWO!~' her inner voice was encouraging, but Anais had witnessed this game. It was long... and this drink was probably way more than anyone should be drinking. No. "But this I can accept. Together, Charlie!~" she offered him a smile there was something unknowable beneath it, a quiet emotion she buried in the bottom of her cup. They had an understanding... not. Well, just this surface level one, but they were kindred as people who were being 'ruined' by this world. Now she would offer her King of choice a toast, her silent condolences and companionship and down the contents of her drink. Her face's flush didn't fade anytime after that, and she felt almost numb. It was great the sensation of a warm belly and a mind fuzzy. It was like, all three of her selves were blending together a bit. Ah, and it was her turn again, as her cup filled she drew a card, the 8 of Diamonds. "Eight is mate," her drunken self almost seemed contemplative as she argued over saying something that might sound too much like a declaration. 'Make him drink. Make him mate. If you say it, it's true!~' her dark self encouraged. Well, there was nothing wrong with holding a fantasy or two, it was her head after all. And if she couldn't acutally get away from it for a while, why shouldn't she? "I did say together... Charlie~" Ah, and there was a smile on the elafia's face but it was a little menacing, 'EIGHT IS MATE!'. Well, she was a bit vindictive as at least two of the individuals within this carriage could attest to. And she'd be ready to pass the deck along.

While some discovered what it was like to be intoxicated. Martha discovered what it was like to have someone rather seriously throwing themselves at her. Astolfo claimed that she was here, and he wasn't dense he was stiff. Well she was sure about that... she could feel his rod pulsing against her rear. What was more, he claimed Martha some sort of diamond as compared to the rocks of how he considered others. He couldn't actually be serious? But... that wasn't really was kind of nice to know, but it was still kind of unnecessary. At her mention that his erection wasn't her fault her countered her with the base logic that it wasn't caused by the death horses. Well, she would hope not, but that didn't make it her problem at all... well he was keen to show her why her thoughts weren't true. He made a gentle bump which caused her to lift while being groped and placed her properly in his lap and his manhood between her thighs. She looked down at his insistence and saw it... his rather throbbing erection which she was apparently responsible for making. Or rather according to Astolfo it was for her. "It's not like a present... I didn't ask for this," she said, but her eyes kept shifting down. Ugh sometimes being human was quite problematic...

[Bloodedge]

Of course Anais didn't intend to receive any such lesson at present. Though she had never expressed aloud her intentions of privacy, it was clear in her actions that she wished for a very limited few to know of her dealings. So long as she expressed no opposing thoughts, he was content to share no details of lessons or anything truly related. "Yes, of course. I was only sharing knowledge for you to have whenever it's needed," he declared.

Anais thought for a moment that she'd been betrayed. Charlemagne stared, blinking intermittently. Why would she think him capable of such a thing? His intention was enjoyment, not assassination. "Wow, tell me how you really feel!" he said as their cups met. One more drink went down the proverbial hatch, marking Charlemagne's second since their game started. Sadly for him, companionship had its downsides. They celebrated together, but they would fall together just as quickly. Anais made sure of that when she flipped a card bearing the number 8. Charlemagne's cup was only just filling itself, and his head was starting to feel lighter. Ah, but he was being volunteered already. "... Oh. That's how you really feel. Together it is then!" he said, steeling himself to connect cups and gulp another full drink again. In the meantime, Yuuya was claiming the deck. The Ace of Hearts was pulled from the top, once more to Charlemagne's disgust. He thought this had been avoided, but here he was... about to take three in a row. Yuuya could see the downtrodden adventurer's immediate reaction, and seemed a bit sheepish about being the one to draw that card. "S-sumimasen!"

That bump put Astolfo in the perfect position to advance his own efforts. She hadn't offered much by way of speech for a few moments, but he could tell she was glancing between her thighs at his... offering. She didn't ask for it, and indeed it couldn't be called a present. None of those little details mattered to Astolfo. Martha made her claim, and Astolfo sported the widest grin against the side of her face. He was close enough that a slight turn of the saint's head would leave him capable of snatching her lips. All he had to offer currently, however, was more words. "But you're not turning it down~♥ There's no point thinking so much about it when you could be finding out what it'll do for you~" he proclaimed, rubbing away at the space between her thighs via a few pointed thrusting movements.

[Apollymi]

Ailen shared without context that he was just letting her know she could have what she wanted when the mood struck her. Interesting, Anais in her infinite horniness took this to mean she wouldn't be talking the man into sketchy situations, nor into fixing a problem she was developing currently. Something about that warmth in her stomach seemed to be spreading directly to her brain and also to her loins. Combined with her lack of true recovery, there would be no reprieve. She had her own pick which had her and Charles drinking together twice back to back. She smirked as she got her payback immediately while Charles almost seriously questioned the idea of betrayal. A grin was present on her face for two straight drinks and strangely didn't falter as an Ace was revealed. All present would be drinking. 'WE'RE DRINKING BITCHES!~' was the happy utterance of her brain space even as Yuuya apologized. "None of that... he did this to us... we're happy drinking and he knows it. Drink up, with a smile~" Anais mentioned as she gestured to the group at large. A meeting of cups and another set of drinks would be taking place. Even Sakura watched as those playful words were tossed around. "For the record, I've never drunk before and I feel so drunk I am not sure I'll ever be so drunk again..." Anais managed after finishing her cup. That gentle stirring of Yume's seemed to reach a fever pitch at the last internal utterance. "We're doing what? Woah, why do I feel drunk?" she asked at first half sitting up obviously woozy. It would be Anais who found Renaud's cup decorated in flame gestured to it while she was recovering so it would be filled as well. "You're drinking without me, Mi-chan?!~"

Sakura now had her hand on the deck and was giving some time to watch the pair of friends. Their interactions were quite amusing at least and she'd let them finish their bit of conversation before she drew. "You feel drunk because I've been drinking! And no one told you to fall asleep in 3.5 seconds... now drink this... it will make you feel better~" she teased gently. Yume found this outlandish. "What did you do to our Party Mom?" she questioned their turning of Anais from caregiver into party monster. Still she drank of the cup offered to her and found it... delicious and also very intoxicating. And now she was feeling that, and Anais was too. Oh... this wasn't something she should have done at all, oh well. Sakura drew her card. "Ten... it's categories right? Hm..." they were a group of drunk people, she didn't want to give anyone an advantage... nor an outright disadvantage. "Fruit? Does that one work?" she asked wanting to be certain of her understanding.

A few pointed thrusts between the thighs of Martha, and she'd be left feeling strangely. Her body seemed to need something now that she hadn't really given much thought to before this point. At the very least it would seem that Astolfo was good for invoking a bit of horny teenage behavior in someone who hadn't experienced it in quite a while. How was she feeling right at the moment? Like there was something to find out, and maybe it wouldn't be a big deal... maybe it could actually help? When did she start agreeing with the antics of someone like Astolfo? Well, no one would actually blame her right? Surely something like this wasn't the type of thing anyone would blame her while being single for finding out about... and he didn't want anything from her. And she didn't want anything from him... she didn't even really expect it so... it was okay. "I'm still gonna kick your ass when this is over," she asserted. Well, that was simply how she was, if he was fine with it, then it wasn't actually a problem and given her own reactions maybe it'd be better to get rid of this for now, and deal with everything else later. Yes, that was Marths's thoughts on the matter, and with it... the last bit of resistance she had slipped away.

[Bloodedge]

For whatever reason, the newest member of their group was apologizing for a draw. Charlemagne wouldn't be having any of that, and neither would Anais, the first to speak against his behavior. "What she said. It's not like anybody can be mad at you for flipping a specific card, dude. Lighten up; this game was my idea," he added to the elafia's clause. Everyone drank in the following moments, Yuuya included. Ah, but that wasn't all. The demoness decided now was an excellent time to wake up, apparently feeling drunk for some reason unknown to the two non-elf males. Ailen, however... "I would assume it's because of that spell you never undid this morning. No need to worry. I've been observing, and it seems this Holy Grail's form of alcohol will show no ability to cause sickness. You can join, and all of you can drink until you grow tired of it," he explained at random.

Well, it seemed they now had a fifth potential player... and a game within the game starting with Sakura's suggestion. Her card declared a round of categories, which would leave Charlemagne as the first to follow as the person to her left. She chose... fruit as the topic. Hearing that in Sakura's voice, one fruit came to mind immediately. "... Cherry," he said, offering no further explanation. He knew why it came to mind. Ailen knew why it came to mind. Nothing else required discussion.

Martha's arguments had been growing weaker as time passed. Now that Astolfo was wedged between the exposed part of her thighs, he wasn't hearing much of anything from her. He did feel a certain heat taking over her flesh however. Such a good sign that was. Better still was her following words. Martha once again promised to assault him when this was all over, implying that the fight for debauchery had been won. "Yeah yeah, you were gonna do that anyway! But did I just hear a 'yes Astolfo, bend me over and rail me in the sky right now'? Or was that something else?"

[Apollymi]

With their newest friend put at ease the game continued. Everyone was drinking and having fun, surprisingly enough Sakura was quiet except for a few words here and there. And even she nodded at the idea that the lad should relax. They weren't out to get him or anything like that. Beyond this point, it would seem that the waking Yume was reminded of her earlier spell use and why she woke up feeling drunk. It was also casually mentioned that no one would really need looking after because the Holy Grail's alcohol wouldn't be problematic aside from the sensation it allowed them to feel of drunkenness. "Hoh? It's something like that... it's great. And you don't have to remind me, I know what I did... there are a few uses yet that make me feel like it's good to keep~" she mused. Such a tease she was, but this was a good test. She could know what was happening with the elafia and experience it herself in case of an emergency. Now, she was simply drinking from a cup to lighten or rather enhance her drunkenness. "Eh? That's kinda great and a little scary," Anais mentioned knowing how she already felt. 'You mean fun!~' her inner voice was already such a problem and seemed almost more solid for all the alcohol she was ingesting. But for now there were categories and chosen one was fruit.

Cherry was mentioned as the first fruit on the list. Sakura couldn't help the devious little smile that crept over her lips, oh well she was still the child of a demon. It also made her feel strangely warm inside to know that she'd make such an impact on Charles. And the second would slip from Anais's mouth for similar reasons. "Yuzu," she stated leaving it there. "Persimmon~" mentioned Yume who had no idea what they were doing but wouldn't be the one to stop the listed category. The mini-game would continue from this point forward. All the while, a few more casual glances in the direction of Ailen would occur on Anais's part, she really couldn't help it given her already existing wayward thoughts and the one place she was trying not to look. Actually, now that she was speaking again, Yume would easily find herself targeted as well. 'Use them, they're into it~' her inner darkness said, offering the girl comfort as she continued playing her game of avoidance.

Speaking of targets, Martha had all but cemented the one on her person in the eyes of Astolfo. She'd done nothing to properly discourage him. She was now sitting in his lap with his manhood sticking up between her thighs. He was already speaking to her in quite a direct and sexual manner and her body had already taken to a natural response that even she had no real way of fighting against. Just past this point, he had some choice words for her, in the form of questions which made her face redden. She might have questioned her own age, given that response, but at the end of the day she was still Japanese. "I don't think I'd ever put a sentence together that way... but if you want to I am pretty sure I want to..." she managed. Oh well, that was about as resounding as yes as one could expect from the more shy types. And Martha, irrespective of her outwardly abrasive attitude was... actually quite shy.

[Bloodedge]

One fruit, then another, and then another. Three individuals named fruits in quick succession, and Yuuya was taken aback just briefly. By the normal cycle, he would have followed Anais. In this case, however, the black-haired girl who'd recently woken from his lap spoke instead. It was bad enough that he was still trying to think past those legs that slid out of his lap only moments before; where was his placement in the rotation now? "Uh... I─" he stammered, only to be called out by Charlemagne immediately. "Sounds like a loss!" the lad called out. Yuuya was new to this, and already rather intoxicated. What was he to say? "Wait, no! I... I was wondering where my placement is now!" he pleaded. Sadly, inclusion had no such handicaps. "Well, our new player inserted herself in the lineup. I guess that puts you after her, but I'm willing to say she should also drink for the party foul. Votes?"

Meanwhile, Martha's face was amassing heat as quickly as the space between her legs did. Astolfo wouldn't have expected her to string those words together as he did, though he thought it would have been nice. "Hmm. You should try it. That'd be hot!" he suggested. Either way, her follow-up statement was about as clear as he expected from a horny saint. Also expected, was the lack of motion to accompany her verbal agreement. Astolfo could grope the woman all day and get himself where he needed to be, but there was only so much to be done from one side. "We all know I want to! But I can't just do it, can I? Ya' gotta give me something to work with!" he insisted. Astolfo was a rather small individual, and she was sitting in his lap. Beyond causing that earlier bump to fight against gravity, leverage remained a thing to overcome if any penetration was ever to occur. Besides, he hadn't a clue what sort of positioning this particular woman felt natural in.

[Apollymi]

Fruits were being listed but there was a rather sudden hiccup. The insertion of Yume into the rotation seemed to throw off, Yuuya from his own statements. He'd not been too speedy with an upcoming fruit, and while already intoxicated seemed to question his own placement in their categories game. Of course, Charles was quick to call the drink what it was, but... he also gave a caveat. Since Yume had interrupted it was a party foul and she should drink along with Yuuya. "Invasiveness has consequences, drink," Anais chimed in seeming all too keen to throw her friend under the proverbial bus. Strangely the rather silent Sakura finally spoke up as well, seeming to give it a fair bit of thought. "Context clues say a party foul was committed," Sakura agreed which made both the other girls look in her direction. "Oh wow! I really got in didn't I?~" Yume questioned of course since her cup was already filling again, she turned her attention to Yuuya. "Ah, gomen, gomen... I didn't mean to throw off the flow~" she said not seeming to be truly apologetic at all. Instead her words were just as playful and teasing as they always were. "I did say us Yu people had to stick together~" she said raising her cup to him. "Kampai!~" she chimed, willingly taking that particular punishment to taste something rather good from the cup, while also being exceedingly inclusive of their newest companion.

At the same time, Martha seemed to be getting into something. Or perhaps it was better stated that something was about to be getting into her. Of course, this would only come after, Astolfo mentioned that those words she wouldn't have strung together were something she should try. He claimed it would be hot. "Yeah... no." she said, which was likely the firmest thing she'd managed as far as her own speech was concerned since the start of this endeavor. Ah but there was more, apparently he needed a proper in, as she was currently sitting in his lap. She also didn't really want to let the reins go completely as some form of guidance would still be required. No... she'd have to make do. She'd slide herself forward a bit, placing her feet a bit wider apart on the platform behind the horses and lean gently over the front of the rail the reins were on. It would allow her to lift herself gently from Astolfo's lap while still allowing him access to her core from the rear. She did quite enjoy this position regardless... and she'd easily reach back and slide her almost non-existent underwear to the side beneath her lifted skirt. "Does that work?" she asked peeking back over her shoulder at the presumably still seated lad.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed the general consensus was that Yume would be drinking as well. Yuuya was in a strange mental space initially. For a moment, it felt as if he was being singled-out and forced to drink over anyone else, being the one who didn't belong in this group. He expected as much, and had begun a train of thought related to the stupid decision of joining this game to meet such familiar treatment. Strangely, it was soon suggested that Yume drink for ruining his turn. Was he not being singled-out? The demoness even offered an apology for throwing off the rotation, and though it didn't seem very genuine at all, it didn't have the expected callousness attached either. "I... really?" he asked, utterly confused in the moment. Something about that reaction felt welcoming, though Yuuya wasn't exactly sure why. "H-hai. Kampai," he said tentatively as two cups met. He'd be drinking yet again while Charlemagne claimed the deck for the next draw. In that moment, the first King was revealed ─ the King of Hearts specifically. The Holy Grail responded to Charlemagne's understanding by filling to one-fifth. "King's Rule! As the first king, I declare... truth or dare!" he stated, rehashing a rule that had once been used against him and some other adventurers. "Here's the deal. When you have to take a drink, you have to give a confession. I'm not a miser, so anything will do really. If you don't want to spill a truth, you have to take a dare... and an extra drink!"

Martha refused the idea of speaking in such a way, but that didn't matter to Astolfo. "You should at least remember it! You might change someone's life later by putting the right words together at the right time~" he insisted. Moving on though, the matter of greatest importance at present was Martha's positioning. Her decision was to move forward, bending over the rail in accordance with Astolfo's initial suggestion. In doing so, she offered the best view he'd ever gotten of her backside ─ complete with an eye-level view of her crotch once those undergarments were moved aside. She asked if this worked. Astolfo's response was something he would have said even without any questioning. "Boing!" he announced in tandem with his manhood standing at full attention. No hesitation preceded Astolfo's rise from that chair, grabbing both ends of her backside and spreading just enough for his rod to glide right up the middle. "Finally! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?!"

[Apollymi]

Yuuya's reactions were quite strange to the group, and none would take more notice of this than Yume. She found his compliance interesting and his shifting in emotions rather... familiar. As such, she was easily capable of adding him to her short list of comrades. Their cups met and they drank together, with him even adding in his own toast. They drank while the next card was pulled and that was drawn by Charles. A King was pulled and thus a 'King's Rule' declared. While Yume had been sleeping the rules of this game had been discussed but she was pretty quick on her feet, even while intoxicated so she would only be asking questions when it wasn't obvious what was meant. The King's Rule chosen by Charles, was 'Truth or Dare', which apparently would leave the group at large, making a confession or accepting a dare and an extra drink. "That... sounds like a Turpin rule," Anais said seeming to be a bit shocked. She was still situated in the floor but her internal self seemed to be upset. 'Oh shit. They're on to us?! We don't wanna confess!~' Well at least they were on the same page. Though apparently Charles wasn't exceedingly picky about the confessions made, she supposed this wasn't the worst potential rule to have pop up. Just the same the deck would come into Anais's possession again and she'd draw the... Jack of Diamonds. She turned it over to show it and sighed. "This one is Never Have I Ever... So I guess, I am up. Never have I ever, skipped school on purpose," Anais offered her moment it was an easy one to do. She was a rule abiding individual who loved school so, that was that. Yume would immediately be drinking another cup. "You're trying to kill me," she murmured but took her drink just the same. "Oh, confession, I cursed my now ex-boyfriend when I developed my powers yesterday," she offered without hesitation.

Moving on from that, Martha was being given a bit of advice. Astolfo claimed she might want to try those strange words and change someone's life one day. Perhaps if she decided it was worth it to do so, she'd give it a try, but she definitely wouldn't be doing anything of the sort right now. It was already majorly embarrassing to be in her current position. More embarrassing was the attention brought to the obviously rising erection of Astolfo as the lad stood in place to begin this act properly. He'd rise and slide himself between her folds in a rather direct manner. It was quite stimulating to say the least, a gentle moan passed between her lips. As she heard the lad questioned how long he'd been waiting. "Presumably, a few minutes..." she said seeming to not understand what his deal was, but finding it strangely endearing. Nothing would stop her hips from gently wiggling against his.

[Bloodedge]

Charlemagne laughed through his nose. Anais couldn't have been more right if she tried. "Pff─ahaha! It was totally his rule! He even did the thing where he kept reminding us before we took the drinks. 'Confess! You must confess!' He'd stare right into the side of your face and be dead serious until you admit something," Charlemagne explained, struggling to even speak through the laughter during the mimicking of Turpin's more masculine and no-nonsense speech pattern. Good times, he thought. Anais's next draw was the sort to end the night for many participants of this game, in Charlemagne's experience. Apparently, that couldn't be the case this time... but it was still a very dangerous thing. Moreover, Anais proved precisely why when she next spoke. What had she never done? Skipped school intentionally. Yume drank from her cup without hesitation, just before admitting to a curse she'd placed on her former boyfriend the previous day. Well... that was one hell of an opener. "Y'know what? I've... somehow heard worse things. Condolences," said Charlemagne. Ah, but he was also in danger. "I confess. I skipped school to make registration for a draft tournament," he admitted before downing his own beverage. That wasn't the end of confessions either. Yuuya took Charlemagne's go-ahead, also deciding to abuse the current topic to follow the King's Rule. "Eto... I confess. I stopped attending school for half a term," the young man spewed, draining his cup thereafter.

Astolfo had been awaiting an opportunity to experience the famed Saint Martha. How long? Well, it certainly wasn't the short few minutes she presumed it was. As he rubbed his full length up and down her undercarriage, he thought to correct the woman. "A few MINUTES?! No way!" he asserted. It would be several moments before the truth emerged. First, Astolfo had to fully familiarize himself with this woman's undercarriage. Such satisfaction he felt, much of it for a simple reason. "Try some centuries! I wanted to get in here before I left for Aincrad!" Indeed, it was hundreds of years ago that Astolfo sought the body of Martha. If not for his absence from the Eternal Sanctum, she would have known by now. Ah, and speaking of things to know in the here and now... she'd soon have reason to understand the indecisiveness of Astolfo. All those strokes had him passing over two openings. There was a bit more to his motions than foreplay. "Eenie, meenie, miney, mo. . ."

Ah, the laughter of Charles was indeed proof that Archbishop Turpin was the one responsible for the rule of confession in this game of cards. The accompanying story made Anais giggle as she imagined one of the more lax of their friend group being utterly serious and intoxicated while demanding confessions from drinkers of all people. Well... there was that saying about the honesty of drunken people, maybe that is what he thought to solicit. "Somehow, that is both laughable but also not very surprising," she said of Turpin. Soon after, Yume was drinking and admitting to skipping school in a haphazard way, and also to cursing her ex-boyfriend upon her arrival a mere day prior. Anais didn't find this information to be new... so she wasn't too stressed about it. Charles reaction however gained something of a chuckle from the demoness instead of anything else. She figured anyone her friend hung around had to be a fair-minded individual, "I am not nearly as upset about it as I could be, no worries~" she said seeming to find it amusing. To Yuuya she had something else to say, "I considered doing the same last year..." she offered the lad. And obviously he was back in school now, so at least one of his issues had mostly been worked out, whatever it was. The Yu's truly were sticking together it seemed.

Ah, but now it was her turn. This was a drinking game as well as something of a personal introduction for them. After the confessions of the others she supposed it was her turn to choose something which would likely make most people drink but not herself. Ah, the group at large was about to find out something interesting about Yume, or rather Shinomiya Kaguya, "Never have I ever... slept inside the same building as my current parent or legal guardian." she uttered with a grin spreading across her face. That one had some serious implications. "Come on now, drink up... that one had to hit a few~" she mentioned deviously. "Oh and confess~" she chimed. Anais had her eyes turn to her friend, she did know that information, but that didn't make it any easier on the ears. Shinomiya Kaguya was truly a friend she would have pulled over to this world herself to keep her out of the situations she'd been in previously.

While topics within the carriage took an interesting turn, the actions of this carriages drivers took an all too normal turn for most of the internal occupants. According to Astolfo he'd been waiting quite a while longer than a few moments to scratch the proverbial itch he had related to Martha. The lad confessed to desiring such a thing before he left for Aincrad, over 1000 years prior to this moment. "That's... ridiculous," Martha mentioned. Somehow though she only felt flattered. She wasn't sure she needed this kind of attention at all, surely this lad had something better to do with his time, than think about the fact that he wanted to have sex with her a thousand years ago. She didn't even entertain it really, so... why was her face all red? Well, it could have been the words, but it was more likely to be the actions. The lad was steadily stroking at her loins but not entering anything, instead he seemed to be figuring out which hole he would be entering. Well... Martha's hips were free to move and she'd easily nudge him towards what she considered to be the more natural opening. "Eh, I don't think I'm that brave..." she mentioned knowing full well that sticking something that large into her rectum was likely not at all something she wished to do. Actually, even just it pressing against her opening was quite sincerely a great deal more pressure than she'd thought it could be. This was going to be something.

A few confessions had gone around the proverbial table, and another was on the horizon. This one came in the form of Yume's 'never' selection, in which she admitted to never sleeping in a building shared by her existing guardian figures. That one was such an obscure thing, so very improbable and depressing under the surface. Charlemagne definitely wasn't getting out of a confession and a drink after that one. "Uh... yikes. Let's see, um..." He needed a moment or two to think, but Charlemagne eventually realized a confession was sitting right in front of him all along. "Alright, got it! I confess. Turpin, our Archbishop of all things, drank me under the table every time we've played this game," he admitted, tilting his cup once more.

Yuuya had fallen silent. He took no drink to that last clause, instead holding his cup between both hands and averting his gaze from the group. Only when it seemed all drinks and confessions had been dealt with for this round, did he actually speak again. "Never have I... eto..." Being new to this game and group was difficult. There were so few things he understood, and fewer still that he thought would fit the bunch. Ah, but there were some context clues earlier when the demoness woke. Magic was obviously some sort of big deal in this world, so perhaps more than one of them made use of it? "... Cast a spell?" To that, Charlemagne would be drinking and confessing yet again. "Ugh! I confess! I've had a familiar for ages. It's a fur ball!" he exclaimed in an exasperated manner. With that said, he slammed another drink.

Astolfo was stroking away as if he required maximum preparation to undertake the coming journey into Martha's... something. She claimed his long wait was ridiculous, but he couldn't agree. Even a thousand years later, anyone should jump at the opportunity to experience greatness! "I know, right? Having to wait so long for this is downright criminal!" he agreed in his own unusual way. Regardless of their views on this long-awaited meeting, it seemed Martha had a preference she intended to make known. She laid no claim to the bravery women of their world and culture attributed to large anal insertions. Well, it wouldn't be Astolfo who told her the magical truth. He'd been playing a mental game of choosing because he didn't care which hole he entered. With Martha moving to urge him into the other entrance, he was content to make the initial push there instead. "Nu-uh! You're so brave! Look at you, about to get laid in the sky while driving a death-horse-drawn carriage!" Astolfo logic at its finest was present, and so was the end of a long wait. He reached out around the woman's body, both hands grabbing the rail in front of her for a bit of leverage ─ leverage that would prove useful as he squeezed his way into her loins.

The implications of Yume's statement weren't lost on the others. It also seemed that there was one who wouldn't be drinking with her, she'd said the Yu's were sticking together, but she didn't imagine anyone else having her specific kind of lifestyle for any reason. Regardless she gave the lad a small smile for the sake of encouragement before chuckling at the reaction of Charles. "Hai hai, it's not that bad~" she mentioned of herself. A confession came from him about drinking and it was one of those things which made Sakura perk up and had the wheels of her brain turning for no particular reason. "Drink under the table?" she asked seeming not to get it. "Oh, right, colloquialisms are lost... uh, he means that Turpin can drink a lot of alcohol without feeling the effects of it," Anais offered the other girl with a nod. This seemed to make Sakura's brows draw together. "I confess, I thought he meant drinking his mana under the table and I was very confused..." Sakura said aloud, without filter, soon after taking her next drink. Yume immediately burst into laughter, while Anais closed her eyes to stop the immediate image of such a thing from forming in her head. "I confess, I have ADHD and OCD." Anais claimed before downing her drink. Obviously, that was a thing which Yume knew, but she wondered how the girl had been managing in the magical world, barely was apparently the answer. Mostly knowing both Turpin and Charles meant she had a very clear image of the pair in her head and could easily imagine them engaged in sex acts which wasn't good considering the strict deviation between her friend group and her sex life. Now she was having to neutralize her visions in her head, by closing her eyes. The most active form of her OCD behavior, Sakura watched this with a mild understanding of why this was funny and smiled gently after realizing it. Still, it wouldn't stop her. "Also, am I the only one who is hot? Is hot normal?" she asked feeling exceedingly warm inside from all the drinking.

Beyond that the next confession was Yuuya's and it would seem that, "Warm bellies from drinking are indeed quite normal..." Yume addressed Sakura before doing something about Yuuya and his lack of magic. "Oi, when we're sober, remind me to help you out with that... magic is pretty freeform in this world," she said. "Speaking of, I confess, my life's dream is being a magical girl... and I am three avatars deep on that~" she added before drinking hers as well. Apparently Charles was confessing to having a familiar, as well as taking a drink. "Waah? You have a familiar and I've never seen it?!" this was Anais's claim as she sat in the floor looking aghast. "I wanna see!" she exclaimed in a manner most childish. Sakura would apparently be taking another drink as well, but not before Anais made another confession as well. "I confess, I'm seventeen years old, and 140 cm tall..." Anais admitted, that might actually be useful information. "Is that why you're called small... is that really small?" Sakura said talking more openly since her oddities were being accepted. "I confess... my soul hasn't been active all morning and it's a strange experience," she added as she began drinking waiting to be addressed. All the while that deck was passed from Anais to Yume in preparation for what was to come after Charles's turn. She seemed to be in deep thought as she drank the contents of her cup down and watched it fill again. "Never have I ever... " she gave it a bit of thought. She looked around this carriage and thought about something she'd never done that everyone else here had already. "Been to the other world," there. The point was to get everyone to drink while maintaining one's own sobriety. While she was still participating, she was able to contribute to everyone else's continued enjoyment. Anais and Yume both looked at Sakura and laughed again, "She really got us all~" Yume said raising her cup.

As confessions were being shared, bodies were finally starting to be shared outside. It was Astolfo's opinion that waiting on the exploration of Martha's body was criminal. It was an odd thing for Martha to consider but it was something else which made her feel quite warm inside. "You know if you say things like that... it's really embarrassing," Martha managed. She was actually quite happy she wasn't facing the lad now. She wasn't sure what kind of expression she had, but she was very certain she didn't want anyone to see it. What was more at the claim that she wasn't brave enough to undertake anal as her method of copulation, she was nay-sayed. According to Astolfo she was plenty brave, if only for her choice in activity. "I..." was she going to say something/ Maybe. But it was lost, as the push towards her insides began properly and she was left with a pressure which was even beyond that of what her first time in the other world had been. She was certain her body would adjust but just how was this lad managing to hide this length and girth beneath a skirt? She was sure that squeeze into her insides would take quite a while yet... and her legs had started to gently shake as he made the push forward.
