At some point, Arthur would apparently be spending an entire year locked away in the Boundary ─ all because he tried to produce a cup. He knew of the crime, but the punishment didn't seem to match. It wouldn't be his first time thrown into that space, but it would be the first time he was offered bail. Such would be made clear when he answered Artoria. "I've been to a couple that weren't so random by now. This is also my third time being sent to the Boundary for something," he said. As a general rule, bail was only offered to most individuals on their third sentence and beyond. Arthur would certainly be given that offer later ─ especially with some new revelations about Guinevere. To her question, Yugi had no answer that involved marked purpose. "That was just because of a time flux. Did you like it?~" he asked. Guin reiterated 50% being her desired mark, and Yugi thrusted to the end of her with a burst measuring 40. That one echoed physically from the force of impact, but also magically outward ─ and then back inward on Guinevere after rebounding against the barrier. "Fiii-ninety?! Wow, that's crazy!" he said playfully. "Arthur can get a bail offer this time. Is that your way of offering before I even bring it up?" was a question finally posed, while Arthur himself aimed to drown out all the noises and answer his sister. "Of course I understand passion! Not everyone's meaning of the word translates to... that!"

Meanwhile, Kazuhiko's younger self was told of a certain consistency he had well into the future. The same thing that softened Anna's visage gave him hope, though he still wondered about his personal timeline's future ─ if it existed for very long. "Am I? That's awesome to hear!" he chimed. Apparently, he'd be meeting this one relatively soon. She didn't see this version of him originally... but that was strange. Could she have been the thing he felt during that brief trip back to Alaya? Though that was possible, Kazu didn't want to mull over it for very long. More important was what this woman wanted of him. She didn't claim any amount of pickiness, so long as the end result was inside her. Something of a laughing scoff passed the young Kazuhiko's lips. "Not an issue! I'll dump every load in my body in you!" he said excitedly ─ something Kazu would unknowingly say in a roundabout way to each of his wives. With a hammock suddenly appearing for their apparent use, Kazu met the blonde in an embrace to continue the kiss she initiated until his own satisfaction was met. He took her by the hips, taking measured steps toward that hammock. A tongue that had slowly slithered between and against Johanna's lips was barely even retracted for Kazu to speak. "Both sitting?" he wondered. Something about that idea just felt right, either because of the hammock or because of... something he didn't know yet.

Somewhere in time and space, Ozymandias was to have his face as a chair for a full lifetime... or rather the whole timeline? That was quite the powerful statement, but he actually believed Kimiko when she made that claim. "You're free to. That's not all you'll do, right?" he wondered. Surely this one wouldn't just claim a seat and leave it at that; she couldn't even manage as much here and now. Ah, and speaking of here and now... "Oh, and there's another seat up for grabs if you or anyone else wants it. I don't need that much focus for a project like this," he assured. A great structure was still coming together. As it did, elevation was achieved, separating Ozymandias's works from the clothing store and raising the new building into the sky. The sun's light shone through narrow windows to create ambiance not devoid of natural light, but a fair amount more muted than some shop. He'd even produce an outside structure: a full grotto with a crystal cave for any desired privacy or acoustics of its visitors. There were several massive bedframes produced ─ some of them even in dedicated rooms. Tables and chairs would be plentiful, and... what else? Ozymandias had enough energy now to toss in a few extras if he wanted. "I'm also working with more excess than I thought. I might make a bigger game room."

[Apollymi]

Arthur was apparently up for time at the Boundary if only because he chose to try and summon his Grail into this space causing a time flux. But her question about his party attendance shed a different light on the situation. "Sou..." was all that Artoria had to say. These parties were almost always random, which meant he'd only been to ones made by likely younger versions of this pair. Though they broke such rules themselves all the time, Venusians were very keen to keep their workload as something of their own choosing. At the same time, Sakura had casually made her way behind the pair of twins intending to help with their conversation while continuing to watch what was going on in that back office. Speaking of that space, Guinevere was faced with some interesting interpretations of her words, "YEES!~" she cried about the feeling of the flux which she felt within her body already and it was quite the pleasant set of sensations. Just the same she'd definitely not said ninety but the idea of bailing Arthur out to receive this treatment wasn't exactly a bad thing. After all, it was her prerogative to protect him as often as she could. "I said fifty!" she snapped, but already her pupils were continuing to pulse under continuous battering. "I... could..." she moaned gently. All the while Arthur and his sister were having a conversation where he apparently felt her assumptions of passion were too much. "Are you sure, because your reactions say your translation is incomplete. And you can't argue it when you let her..." Artoria gestured towards the Elder Miko, "Reduce you to blushing school boy! What is your translation and where is the action that goes along with it?" Artoria inquired directly. Sakura sat by them feeling the difference between the pair ready to interject when a desire for knowledge was given. She'd also watched his interaction and wondered what his sister understood of someone like Iino Miko and what Arthur himself understood of her.

Meanwhile the young Kazuhiko was being informed of the goodness of his self, and his consistency over time. It would seem Johanna saw him as similar to what he was when they met from her own perspective. "Of course~" she chimed in. Still they were to be together and like she always would be Aglaea came with even a bit of subtle help. A golden threaded hammock appeared for their use as they decided how they would be continuing. And Johanna had a very direct but less than demanding thing she desired from an interaction with Kazuhiko. To her happiness, a phrase came from him that made her smile with nostalgic understanding. They'd met in an embrace with that excitement of his younger self becoming quite contagious. "It's a promise~" she said in response to that utterance. Only when they were confronted with actual positioning did something become obvious, both sitting was his solution for their hammock based adventure. "Oh? That's a great idea!~" she said truly enjoying that and having the tingling understanding that it had been one of the first positions she'd managed with him for several reasons. so she'd continue to kiss him while he positioned himself and take the seat within his lap when it was available.

Meanwhile, Kimiko made an outrageous statement about riding the sun's face for an entire timeline. And he welcomed her to her particular choice. A grin crossed her face when asked if that was 'not all' she'd do. "Pluh-lease, of couse that's not all I'm doing. I don't know know the meaning of moderation... I'll take it up later and come back and show you~" she claimed with a cheeky smirk. As for his other offered seat, it would be Kimiko taking it once more, if only because she'd riled herself up on the idea already.... "Well, it was already mine and of course you have more than you need. Been a long time for us~ There's upgrades♥~" she flirted shifting down. Since he'd taken to arranging his great work, she'd have a seat on his uprright pole, sliding it into her depths as she faced outward watching all his works come together. At the same time, that other hammock had two pairs of eyes watching and seeing the structure come together the light in the purple pair flared to life a great deal of ideas coming to her. "Ooh, it's gonna be bloody brilliant!~" she claimed. AS for the bigger game room Kimiko had something to say to that, "Always good to have a bigger game room~" she claimed knowing full well the kinds of fun they could get into, even on something a bit more casual than the sexual deviance they were currently aiming for.

[Bloodedge]

If Guinevere liked the reaction to a time fluctuation so much, Yugi would be sure to keep said reaction in rotation. It wasn't out of the ordinary for him anyway... but he did think focusing a higher percentage before anything else was the funnest idea. The echo occurring was quite similar to Yellow's resonance, but it had other features he thought to make use of. First and foremost, there was the matter of percentage. Guin, moving forward, would be subjected to the sensation of meteoric impact each time he slammed her holes. She stressed 50% again, and he snatched her by the hair. By the time she considered being Arthur's bail, he was pulling her by the roots toward his own face, all to speak far more casually than the moment demanded. "Could you? I'd own you for a year, y'know?" Yugi replied as his tongue extended to slowly drag along Guinevere's neck.

It seemed Arthur was due for a crash course on passion-related beliefs. The rest of this group obviously had different views of what defined passion, whereas he preferred keeping things simple. His idea of passion didn't translate to debauchery ─ it went toward the joys of relaxed, wholesome life. "Yes I'm sure! You know what I'm passionate about! That includes being respectful to people I care about," he argued. As for the effect one Iino Miko had on him recently, he had nothing but a scoff to offer. "I am not blushing. You're the one who turns into a blushing school girl! I just want a bit of normalcy in this ridiculous life you set me up for!" he continued.

Meanwhile, Kazuhiko was gradually making his way onto a golden hammock, keeping his hold on Johanna all the while. He didn't know what about that phrase pleased her so, but he remained glad to manage that much. Whatever the case, he'd sit, and so would she. Never did he separate from her lips too long to do anything but return, even while active hands ruffled that sundress into a steady lift. They both thought his ideal approach was a good one, so there was no need for hesitation on Kazu's end. That same logic apparently applied to Kimiko, who would take Ozymandias's offer before anyone else had the chance. Just as Nitocris had been when they arrived for this supposed party, she chose to face away from him. "Bloody hell, I'm having ass in front all day today. Trying to gang up on me, innit?" he asked just in time to avoid speaking through an extended moan at penetration.

[Apollymi]

Guinevere was indeed enjoying the sensation of those fluxes in time. Of course, that would mean it might come up again, but it was far from the forefront of her mind. No, instead the impact of Yugi's movements seemed to be growing quite far beyond what could be considered normal. She didn't know what to call that current feeling but she was sure the impact was alone was more than anything she'd experienced physically up to this point. Her eyes, were flashing those spades flickering as she moaned her content. Said moans only got louder as her hair was pulled and there was a shift in her body. She was considering saving Arthur from a year in the magical equivalent of solitary confinement, and while she thought it over her neck was licked as her head was pulled back. Yugi's voice was calm in this moment, so very calm for what was happening right at the moment. "Hmphf♥!~" she sighed, that was such a contrasting set of things to feel. The idea of owning her for a year was actually a little exciting. Her core tightened and she could barely think of anything other than the idea being one of the best she'd ever heard. "Yeees...ah♥!~" she moaned as she thought about it there was an odd shift taking place as that spade in her eyes seemed to be moving even more rapidly. But was that statement an agreement or her statement of knowing what she was agreeing to? Well that part was up for debate.

While his wife considered exploring her passions for an entire year without him, Arthur himself was explaining himself to his own twin sister. Simplicity was something he claimed to be passionate about, respecting those he cared about. Artoria looked at her brother casually. At least he had some form of grit to him, but apparently not enough to follow through completely. "Sure I do, I know what you say... but how you act doesn't share the same... " Artoria paused looking for a word to describe how she felt about lack of action her brother displayed. "Confidence," Sakura offered a word she felt properly described one like Arthur. In hearing how they spoke to each other. "That!" Artoria snapped pointing to Sakura who smiled as she continued to watch what was going on in that office. It seemed to her that Arthur might have plenty of time to find the ability to confidently act on his passions in the same way that others did. "No one is saying you have to go chocolate but at least show your fangs a little," she confirmed her own beliefs. She wanted her younger brother to succeed in all aspects of his life, such was truly her nature. As for his commentary about blushing, "You were blushing, and pure normalcy is for the mediocre and you are not that," she said with absolution. No matter what he couldn't claim to live a normal life, his birth in their famil and decisions made just earlier this day assured it. "And while I may blush in a limited number of cases, it won't be because I allowed the most Conquerable in the Galaxy said something snarky to me~" Artoria mentioned with her nose tilted up in the air, her own form of superiority. The fact of the matter was, she knew the truth of Iino Miko across space time and she knew the truth.

At the same time, Kazuhiko was getting a taste of his future, in this case, Johanna who was pleased by him already. They kissed and made their way to the hammock without separating from each other. Johanna for her part in this, knew Kazuhiko even though he didn't yet know her, she slipped into his lap after he sat down, felt the rising of that sundress and shifted along with it. Until of course her loins were against his shaft. She'd continue kissing him, gently shifting in his lap, letting him feel wetting fabric against his cock as she settled in to get undressed. She'd allow those gentle pauses as they moved towards proper copulation she'd allow herself to b e rid of clothing and even her hat, as they continued to make progress. At the same time, Ozymandias was meant to see a lot of ass this day. Now it wasn't just Nitocris showing him her cheeks, but also Kimiko who'd taken the place on his cock facing away from him in order move herself onto him properly. "I'm sure you'll see a lot of it. Hope you like eclipses, Sunny♥~ " Kimiko uttered as she also relaxed making her proper descent onto his cock. Ah well, it was worth it to her to continue this way.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed Yugi was content to fill his plate for an indiscriminate amount of time moving forward, seeking to claim bail from Kazuhiko as well as Arthur. The way he saw things, Guinevere was obviously shifting toward offering herself as Arthur's bail. In fact, he wouldn't have minded Arthur tacking on a longer sentence; Guin wasn't as easy to come by as some others. Still, he could feel it around his girth... twice. The idea of a year to get the sort of treatment her soul demanded was tantalizing... but was 'yes' her answer, or confirmation of understanding? Yugi figured the answer to that, was yes. Even so, the former came with some other requirements. His tongue continued dragging that slow line up Guinevere's neck until he licked around the rim of her ear and blew into the hole. "Yes, you'll be owned for a year? That's a pretty big can of worms to open. If that's what you mean... say my name and ask for it~" he whispered even as those meteor strikes continued to assault her insides. If she spoke the right name, incredible things would happen ─ terrible things, but incredible things. If his accepted title also came as a result... well, things would be even greater still.

Confidence was allegedly lacking in Arthur, whether he agreed or not. He didn't, of course, but Sakura adding herself to the equation left him no room to argue aloud. He definitely wasn't going to go 'chocolate' as Artoria said, but more importantly... his fangs weren't the same sort she suggested. "You're giving a lot of input for someone not living my life, Eri. You don't know what happens on Pluto," he insisted almost huffily ─ a response type that only a few individuals managed to bring out of him. "And there's nothing mediocre about normal; this isn't the kitchen. Some of us value peace and stability over all this chaos. My lives have been outlandish enough thus far, thank you. The rest of you can have the craziness," he stated. "I was not blushing. What you do in your freaky situation is your business. Leave me to the part of mine that's manageable."

Kazuhiko and Ozymandias both had occupied laps and ultimate satisfaction. For the former, he was able to absorb something brand new ─ something from his personal future. Spoilers were awesome, he thought. Whatever he'd do to secure a figure like what he was seeing as that dress slid up, he wanted to do the absolute hell out of it right away. That moist fabric rubbing against his cock warranted many an excited throb. Though that would have to go as well, he was focused on tonguing the blonde's mouth, breaking again only to lift that sundress over her head. Once that was out of the way, his hands went right back to Johanna's sides. The sound of lips smacking would persist on that front... while not far from them, there was the sound of Ozymandias laughing. "Ha ha ha! Eclipses? You're welcome to show me one," he bellowed while initiating an eclipse of his own ─ one of his large hand upon one side of Kimiko's ass.

[Apollymi]

As Yugi continued filling his plate, there was something which was happening to Guinevere. Her soul was considering the greatness of a moment like this, not for a single moment, a single day or a single weekend. No an entire year of the kind of treatment her body seemed to yearn for as it built up over time was presenting itself like an opportunity to grasp before her very eyes. Her body enjoyed it, her soul desired it and her mind... well it was busy being pounded into paste. So very accurate was the idea of folding to the desires of ones own soul, that even those with strong minds and constitutions occasionally found themselves unable to say no to certain things. Such was the case with Guinevere was her body felt meteoric impacts deep within itself and she used the justification of helping another to get what she wanted. All that physical force combined with that little bit of care. That tongue dancing around her ear and the gentle breeze inside of it. What was she supposed to say? For a man who went by many names and had many titles there were plenty of things he could be called and many that could be said. Guinevere happened to have several juggling around in her mind. And as they did, the choices in words became obvious. "Ash...born. I accept," she moaned her climax as her eyes settled into diamonds. "Punish me, Daddy♥!~" Guinevere caved as body, mind and soul... aligned for what was actually desired. There was much power in those words, enough for it to be felt by any of those who'd once uttered anything similar.

The huffy responses of Arthur and his lack of defense in the face of Sakura's response was something interesting. Sakura was still watching feeling the magic of that agreement coming together. Artoria though was a warrior and even if words were the weapon, she knew what kind of aim they needed and what kind of twisting they required for her desired outcomes. "And you... are arguing with me a lot given you have no idea where in your own timeline I've come from little brother," Artoria responded without hesitation. Her words could hardly be called input as the only male in the Hoshimi lineage did not actually take input. No, he'd flounder his way through life, and end up unhappy all in the name of figuring it out on his own. And it wasn't something any of his sisters were willing to watch least of all his twin. "Your life, could be one I am well involved in by the time you catch up. And I know well what life on Pluto is like... and even if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I know where your wife is and why she is there. And I know what surprise looks like on a face I share..." she answered back cutting her eyes in his direction. His cries of normalcy and peace were exactly what she expected from him. He thought his life had been crazy enough. Once again Sakura had something to say, if only because it was easy to interject as words were the weapons being used, "Stagnant is the word I would have used instead of mediocre. Chaos is the tide that stirs the water and restores it to a potable state," Sakura decided on verabage which would be easily understood. Still the argument between siblings was mostly by her own approximation for the sake of making the male one think about his situation. And his elder sister was bullying him, so he wouldn't end up alone in his long life. Theirs was always such a cute family. "Is this what you call managing, truly?" she asked genuinely. Her own situation not withstanding, Artoria had the instinct to understand that souls acted of their own accord and nothing would stop them and it was up to the rest to bend and accommodate.

While Kazuhiko thought about the awesomeness of spoilers, he had in his lap a woman from his personal future. Johanna felt something so familar and yet so new as her covered loins rubbed against Kazuhiko's shaft. Excited throbbing as her dress was lifted wasn't unusual but somehow at least to her he seemed even more excited than normal. It was infectous as they kissed and rocked in the hammock. She'd found herself just as excited gently slipping her undergarments out of the way in order to allow a transition to the smoothess found between her folds. She'd continue this and the movements until she'd be found placing the head of him in her opening as she slid down on top of him. And then an inch at a time she'd take him into her core, until she was fully seated in his lap with her legs wrapped around him. Meanwhile, Ozymandias was happy to potentially see some eclipses, and Kimiko would be making sure to oblige him during this particular party. She had quite a few ideas for that and knew several of the women present would enjoy it. "Hai, blocking out the sun~" she claimed as a large warm hand itself on one of her cheeks and she rocked against it a wicked smirk appear on her face. "Ara, I thought sunlight was supposed to sting when it made contact?~" she teased jokingly.

[Bloodedge]

Guinevere's soul was one of the most demanding Yugi had ever laid eyes upon. It resonated with him in ways others didn't, simply because of how easily it accepted him and his ilk. Some required a specific type of approach. Some needed particular quantities of energy. What some others sought instead, was a quality of mana that did what others could only lightly compare to. Guinevere had long since become one of few who needed all criteria met from time to time, if not frequently when found on an individual basis. Luckily for her, the man she currently engrossed herself in was... everything, and nothing at once. Ashborn. That name had power beyond the universe itself, all due to its unlimited potential. In fact, Guinevere speaking that name with her acceptance had some immediate consequences. There was a buildup, undetectable by most, and enhanced by acknowledgement of his title. Nothing would happen outright ─ not right away. There would, however, be a certain stillness in reality ─ a calm before the storm. "Acknowledged. Starting now, you belong to Ashborn. You'll also be sticking around for a while," he said as if ownership were a separate matter from their agreement. Perhaps it truly was, but that was of no consequence presently.

Arthur would soon enough be witnessed with crossed arms and a scowling face. It made no difference where she was in his timeline, unless she somehow became very involved in his relationship ─ something he wouldn't tolerate beyond what was already the case. "It doesn't matter. There's no way you're that involved. I said there was a limit, and I meant it. Whatever you think you know about Pluto has nothing to do with my private life. You and Rie are the most annoying people when you think you know something," he rambled. As for the situation occurring here and now, he would call it managing. "As a matter of fact, yes. This isn't anything new, even if it is still weird to hear it happening. It's completely indecent," he affirmed.

Meanwhile, Ozymandias was being taunted, and Kazuhiko was... diving into another new experience. Ozymandias received a bit of taunting from Kimiko, who claimed the sunlight should sting. Just as he scoffed mockingly and raised that hand again, everything... stopped. Ozymandias wasn't the only one affected by this. That moment building since the call of Ashborn finally erupted, touching every moment in reality and causing stagnation. He and Guinevere, as the epicenter, would remain unaffected. Naturally, the case would remain the same for Kimiko and... perhaps someone else. The elder Kazuhiko was still pumping away, whether the pair connected to him were conscious or not. In fact, he didn't even seem to register any changes right away ─ apart from a very strange feeling.

[Apollymi]

The words spoken by Guinevere had her speaking into this current moment something beyond this reality's understanding. Damned be anything else, there were demands that souls had to meet and they'd be met. That magical ripple the stillness it caused was something she understood, but couldn't be bothered to care about as her demands were being met in such a way that she couldn't deny it. Even so, nothing was stopping so the Spades turned Diamonds in her eyes were thumping now as she said the only thing she could to a situation like that, "Yes♥!~" of course that was all it would be. Perhaps when her mind was clearer later, she'd think through what exactly she'd agreed to, but for now, it didn't matter as much, she was experiencing satisfaction in this part of her life.

There were limits according to Arthur. And for her part in this Eri heard him out, as she always would, but that didn't anything. His soured face as his strange mood not withstanding, limits were a damnable thing. He seemed to think both his older sisters were problematic when they thought they knew something, "If that's how you feel about it, I'll leave you to the consequences of your inaction..." Artoria said without hesitation. He was managing but this situation was indecent by his standards. It was nothing new happening according to him and Artoria would only be shaking her head. "I understand so much now..." she said aloud. All the while, Sakura had been quiet, the sudden stillness of others had become something of note for her. "Even when raised irregularly some humans are so strange..." Sakura decided, well there was now a different sort of issue and it was the name that Yugi had goaded Guinevere into using which was stopping many things around them and reality in general.

At the same time, Kimiko wasn't receiving the comeback she expected. A bit of cheeky prodding to the Sun King usually resulted in a response, unlike some others. But there was no downstroke and no cheeky comeback. No instead her hips moving against his cock were the only thing happening. Besides the speech of a few who seemed to have grown a proper amount. "Oi, why did you have her say the thing? I don't interrupt your good days!" she exclaimed in frustration. This exact kind of action would have her acting almost irrationally against Yugi later, and he'd deserve it for messing up her good time with this time based stagnation. She had even more to say even as she continued moving her hips. At the same time the elder Kazuhiko was still moving his hips inside of a currently frozen Elder Miko and Kaguya... "Hm, do you know they are frozen or did you decide it wasn't worth it to stop? Well, it might not matter given what they're like..." Sakura questioned most casually to Kazuhiko. She knew her sister's answer, especially given that she was still moving her hips. She also knew that Miko would suffer several fates including not existing if it meant she could be filled the way she wanted, so it likely didn't matter much.

[Bloodedge]

And so, everything in this reality and the next were brought to a halt. Yugi still managed to get Guinevere's response, as he could expect with her at the receiving end of his power. "Then we'll kickstart it with a─" Whatever Yugi had to say, would not be said just yet. He took pause due to the sudden outburst of Kimiko, who apparently had some issue with this turn of events. "Huh?! I don't even know what you're doing out there!" he yelled. Whatever her current activity, it obviously involved someone affected by the hiccup in reality. Even while interrupted, he didn't stop slamming into Guinevere ─ nor did he stop swelling against her inner walls.

All the while, a busy Kazuhiko was just coming to realize what was so suddenly strange. Miko and Kaguya were being lifted and lowered with his arms, each one raised as the other was dropped and so-on. Alas, neither of them moved of their own accord; they weren't even moving in accordance with gravity. Of course, that wouldn't stop anything about Kazu's efforts. As Sakura theorized, he didn't think stopping was worthwhile. "Well they're not gonna suddenly start moving again because I stopped, are they? I'm just assuming this is a time thing, and maybe it's the type that'll make everything I'm doing build up when the clock starts ticking again!" he claimed. Kazuhiko didn't even realize he was exactly right in that assumption, but... he certainly was. As the effects of Ashborn's name echoed throughout reality, however, there were a few inconsistencies. Some individuals, such as Artoria and Miko's variants who also answered to the bearer of that name may not have become less affected as time passed... or didn't, in this case.

[Apollymi]

Whatever Yugi was about to say, it was cut off by a response aimed at Kimiko. From what Guinevere could gather, she'd been busy before this moment and whatever was going on now, was affecting her good time. As for what she was or wasn't doing, Guinevere's hips were still being drilled into, even as the pair talked about what was going on outside. A huff occurred from Kimiko as he claimed to not know what was happening but that was the issue. "I'm trying to get a tan, and you're fluxing it up!" Kimiko exclaimed. There was a strange oddity about certain individuals. Some were immune, some would come around due to extenuating circumstances and some were prone to being affected simply because they weren't the types to fully share themselves with others. Kimiko was currently experiencing one of the best possible extras, but also one of the most prone to interruption by the kind of thing Yugi had so willfully decided to do to the solar system's most desperate housewife, which by Kimiko's own logic he could have done at any other time and not interrupted her day.

At the same time, Kaguya and Elder Miko were busy being pounded into. Because of the oddity of the moment, the answer to Sakura was one which would happen. "That is fairly accurate. You're getting better, Kazzun♥~" Sakura mentioned. "Well, except the variables~" she said in a teasing tone. As if the prove her point the elder Miko's voice would be heard, in stacco, like she was hiccupping while trying to get out the air in her throat. The leg Kazuhiko held twitched as well... "Euuu..u...u♪~" she sang. Her younger self was completely frozen still being pummeled by Hiruko apparently. All the while Artoria seemed to be frozen for a moment and then exhaled a breath as she shook her head. "Yare yare, magical world bullshit strikes again," she said still shaking her head. Whether her twin knew it or not, he'd essentially lost his wife today. At the same time, Sakura couldn't help but chuckle. "Even when you understand it better, you still don't like it... what an endearing trait~" she mused about the situation. At the same time her eyes cut over to the blonde woman who'd shifted into the position of leaning over a longue chair talking to Nitocris as they planned interiors together. Oddly enough she didn't seem as stiff as the others, and though seemingly statuesque there was a certain liveliness in her visage as she tried to hold herself completely still. "I can see you~" Sakura murmured. Of course, her saying this made Artoria look as well only to see that blonde gently purse her lips at an almost imperceptible level to whisper a shush them.

[Bloodedge]

"A tan?!" was Yugi's immediate reply. Kimiko was obviously having a time with Ozymandias, who would almost never be open to subjugation at the Venusians' whims. Both he and Nitocris were such rare individuals, technically belonging to a different class of being that could be affected according to only their own desires. Sadly, their desires for each other were far too great most times. "Ah... that's tough. Didn't mean to make it go that hard! Why not go for the Black Sun?" he wondered. With that, his gaze was no longer set in the middle distance, but instead to Guinevere. She'd remained quite active all this time without any sass, despite his distracted state. "Really, no complaints about me starting a whole conversation mid-fuck? You asked for punishment, but maybe I should give you a reward?"

Kazu had the joy of being right about one thing. "That's awesome!" he decided. If everything he did during this time of stasis would accumulate in Miko and Kaguya, he'd go even harder moving forward. Even during that time, and even with Miko showing a few reactions, there was one more oddity he thought to acknowledge. Artoria's mention of 'magical world bullshit' as she always put it, garnered Kazuhiko's attention for very separate reasons. He'd experienced immunity to similar things before, but why was she exempt when the incarnations of Sun and Sky were not? There was a glance shot in her direction, but... as always with her, he decided it was something to avoid bringing up in the open. Ah, but there was also... the blonde whose status was beyond questionable ─ the very same blonde who'd taken to shushing Sakura and Artoria alike. Kazu stifled a chuckle that still managed to pass through his nose as a snort. "Oh. That's just bad~" he said.

A tan was indeed how Kimiko would refer to a bit of sex play with the Sun King. It seemed appropriate and rather quippy if she did say so herself. Still, it apparently wasn't Yugi's intention to cause the kind of problem he'd created. She believed that, just a little but not nearly absolutely. He'd still gone out of his way to target Guinevere and as such he knew exactly the kind of state her soul would be in given how late she was on her 'fix'. As for why she wouldn't be calling forth a 'Black Sun'... "Look there is a vibe here I don't get to explore a lot, Black Sun is more for the me of a few hours ago," Kimiko explained. She wasn't currently in the mood to be objectified and used, no... she wanted something with a bit more playfulness to it in the moment. And he'd demanded energy which he wasn't taking directly from Nitocris, it truly was a rare opportunity, she had to capitalize on it. At the same time, Guinevere had been surprisingly quiet aside from the moans after speaking a name with such power. She was too busy enjoying herself to even be properly upset at the attention which was being split. Obviously, enough was still going to her in the moment, "I'm not completely unreasonable... and yes reward me♥~" she affirmed as she continued the movements of her hips. Whatever he'd previously been about to say, she'd forgotten to question it properly. She knew she'd be getting a lot of his attention in the near future, what was a conversation with his actual wife in the interim?

Meanwhile, Kazuhiko got to enjoy the build up he was giving to both Kaguya and Miko while one of them slowly hiccupped her way towards a proper existence. Just the same, that bit of understanding between Kazuhiko and Artoria was one which was seeded semi-recently in his younger self's life and would continue to flourish throughout for both of them. Artoria for her part, acknowledged the glance with a raised brow, they could easily discuss their fall to the Venusians at some other time. After all, in this particular case he was the one that she could call her 'brother' in dealing with certain kinds of problematic existences. "I have questions..." Artoria murmured softly but she'd leave the blonde woman to her pretense as she was prone to a few different sorts herself. Meanwhile, Sakura's smile became almost sadistic, as a tendril of darkness extended from her towards Aglaea. It'd be snaking up the back of her leg, in a gentle caress which would of course begin rubbing at the other girl's loins. Aglaea would be pouting, not with her face but instead with her eyes. Why was Sakura being allowed to torture her like this? "It's easy to forget, the kind of danger you pose," Artoria muttered also chuckling with a shake of her head. That poor green eyed blonde was trying her best to suppress shivers and hold her statuesque bend for a long period of time.

"So no objectification and abuse play? Damn; there goes one of my ideas for later~" Yugi joked. He fully understood the change in desire ─ especially given some spiritual links and leanings determined by certain presences. As one currently being the type of individual creating such desires, there was nothing he could say against Kimiko's decision. On the other hand, he would have been on the opposite side of that spectrum if given the option of the 'Empty Sky' as they called her. All of that aside, having his attention returned to Guinevere left Yugi experiencing deja vu. Something about the way she accepted the idea of being rewarded... reminded him of someone on the wrong side of Guinevere's history. It was interesting to think of how things were, versus how they could have been. Funny as that was, Guin would be getting what she wanted. Time would have to restore itself, but the thing responsible for giving it a boost would be the same thing solidifying an agreement of possession. Yugi's 'signature' would begin gushing into Guinevere's body en masse, twice over once he settled at maximum depth within her holes. Strangely, the swelling she would have felt earlier didn't recede ─ it increased along with the pressure of his release over time. There was another thing demons were known for: overwhelming with absolution. Yugi considered himself a culprit, so Guin would just have to deal with two powerful hoses spraying into her soul ─ hoses that would stop only when he decided enough had been done.

If Artoria had questions, Kazuhiko had an entire interview. Most of them were for Artoria herself, but that was indeed a matter for private discussion. "Been a while since the last friendly drink, hasn't it?" he asked casually. A lot of commiserating had to be done between them; such was an integral part of their relationship. As for Aglaea and her hilarious attempt to remain incognito, it seemed Sakura was content to... prod her a little. The most sadistic of Jovians was awake, and there was naught to be done about it. In fact, Kazu had something to add after seeing Aglaea's struggle. "Two for flinching!" he suggested.

The joking of Yugi was one thing, all the while the continued movements of Kimiko's hips were meant to give her quite the good moment when everything finally caught up to the proper moment. "Back to the drawing board!~" she chimed in turn. Of course, she was the type to have her mood change in a moment, and those moments were often found at Yugi's hands. It still wasn't what she was in the mood for right at the moment, and as such he was to blame for her light interruption. Oh well, she also knew the fun of doing things she shouldn't. Even though in general she was a bit more careful about it, she couldn't fault Yugi for having fun, even if she thought this sort of thing could have waited for a different time. At the same time, Guinevere having gotten quite a bit of what she needed had something more reasonable to say than usual. The likeness between her and a certain other woman wasn't something she'd ever think about directly, instead she would be treated to a reward for good behavior. The swelling of Yugi's cocks didn't relent and instead she'd find it firming further before a release which had her mouth opening and her eyes rolling back into her head. "Woooooaaaaaaaa♥!~" she moaned as her body convulsed. She lost rhythm and her entire body tensed as she drooled. Their combined fluids wouldn't be remaining within her body completely, no... they'd eventually leak out, but not without leaving a sign on her soul that tied her directly to the man behind her.

The oddity of Artoria's appearance here as one who was immune to the flux in time was something of note. Sakura had long ago learned that direct questioning of that woman wasn't something she responded well to, nor was pointing out her deflections. She required a bit more gentleness than most to find out information and as such she'd be leaving her be for now. Instead Kazuhiko would be pointing out that it'd been a while since the pair had last shared drinks and stories and Artoria would have her lips upturn a little, "Yeah, I had that thought a while ago when I saw that one... we should catch up," she said gesturing to the Elder Miko who was still hiccupping as her body tried to catch up to the moment. "Eeeh...ehee...eheee♪!~" the Miko attached directly to Kazuhiko's loins was suffering from an inability break free completely but somehow still enjoying the stutter as it applied something like quick pulse vibrations to her loins as she gained sensation for just a moment before it stopped. Meanwhile the sadist known as Sakura was fully awake and torturing Aglaea who was somehow free but also apparently didn't want that information known for whatever reason. Her body bent over that chair was being teased by a shadow while her eyes pleaded, her body was molested. What did her pleading get her? According to Kazuhiko, two for flinching... "Oh? That's a great idea♥!~" Sakura agreed as the tendril at the girl split and began poking at her rear hole as well. Fighting not to squirm was truly intense even for one like Aglaea, whatever she was trying to hide, it was amusing to Sakura to presss the button. 'TREACHERY!' she shouted in her mind as she tried to hold her face. At least if she could hold out a little, she could just wait until time restarted. She could do this... she could do this... she thought almost passively until that first bit of prodding slipped into her loins properly and began snaking its way into always moistened depths.

Yugi had a plan in the works ─ one he'd been fleshing out for some time. Guinevere made herself a key piece in that plan, and with that... there were four, perhaps five or six individuals present to see it fulfilled. Some may have been more openly willing to participation than others, but all had the potential to be what was necessary. He'd have a collection of diamonds for the right purpose eventually. First, there was an overflow to address. Yugi felt the mix of fluids splashing back onto his body, but even that wasn't enough. Swelling intensified further, pressure increased more, and Guin... would effectively be marked beyond the scope of this reality. Had time been passing, he would have let several minutes go by before it all stopped. That equivalent amount of pumping was the amount he thought satisfactory. "So, Guin. You've got a question to answer, and you already know what it is. Well... at least I think you do," Yugi spoke while holding Guinevere's head back by the hair, his words offered directly to her face.

In that same amount of time, or lack thereof, Kazuhiko reached a slightly secret agreement with Artoria. "Hell yeah," was all he said to solidify his end. They would indeed have drinks and catch up. If anything else were to happen, well... the way they operated meant that was no one else's business unless they were directly involved. Rule 1 of the 12 Peers hadn't gone anywhere to whatever day he lived in currently. Beyond all that, Sakura took his suggestion without hesitating for a moment. Aglaea's attempt at discretion was fated to become a bit more difficult with the addition of another shadow tendril. He knew she considered it an act of treachery against her, and she was welcome to any retaliation she desired... later. For now, Kazu could only blow a mocking kiss at the blonde, adding a wink as he kept all efforts active beneath Miko and Kaguya. One of the pair was edging her way through the flux, but the other... may have already been through enough that any immunity would have been overridden. Such was typically the way things went with her. . .
