Yugi's attention wouldn't be splitting again for a while yet. He required Miko's answer, and he had to properly absorb it into himself as those magical spheres shook more furiously all the while. First though, there was her understanding of memory loss due to the existing time paradoxes of this meeting. Miko's reaction to that knowledge was understandable, but no less bothersome. "There's no undoing the erasure of memory from a paradox meeting. You can't cross your own direct timeline and keep memory of it while being the younger you. If you did, it would affect events. You wouldn't become that same 'you' from the future, so the meeting would never happen... even though it already did. That's just another pile of paradoxes; it's not our doing. You'll just have to remember the long way around... sort of," he explained.

With that, Yugi began collecting information. The list of things Miko desired from this party, the list of events that never happened, was long. While she spoke, one of those three spheres began splitting. It became two, then only the second became another two, then three, four, five, eventually, fifteen, and eventually more than twenty as Miko rambled. That entire set had to be compressed back into one, all joining to become the fourth overall sphere in Yugi's hand. "Woah!" he muttered. The gluttonous ones were always so problematic with their desires, just as the greedy ones were. That fourth sphere seemed incredibly unstable compared to the others, but... that one wasn't for this version anyway. "Whew! It's always a little bit sketchy to do one of those. You should remember to thank your younger self," he said directly to the young brunette. "Where others are limited by morality or law, remember... everything IS permitted. There's just one caveat. Listen closely... So, so closely. Restraint will never be part of your origin. You want everything. You can have everything, but it's impossible to do everything at the same time. You hear me?" he emphasized, one hand landing atop Miko's head yet again. "Doing everything at once... is... impossible. Never forget that part, alright?" he specified. "Anyway, you just answered something for your future's sake. This one has all the possibilities you just thought of, each as its own reality. I can't give it to you right now... but when you remember this, it'll be a bonus reward for waiting patiently. But, I've got a couple of things for you too. These two here are the realities we talked about earlier ─ ones that involve us. One of them is our OTP life, and the other is... well, the fun trip. Take these in your dreams, but never at the same time, or you'll fuck up reality and destroy it all... along with yourself and several versions of me probably. Take it, and you'll become a spectator inside the other versions of yourself. The second one is multiple visits to the same timeline group, so it might be a little different every time you go in ─ unless you specifically want to revisit one. Now, were you paying enough attention? Any questions?"

Meanwhile, Wise was wondering how he'd get by without absolutely destroying himself. Ah, but he also wondered what sort of punishment would await him for being the likely cause of this conundrum. Yugi had nothing to say to the Uranians just yet, but he knew the answer to everything relevant. While he dealt with the young Miko the Uranians would just have to lament for a short while. "Gomen! I meant to tell you, but I never got around to it! I just... don't have a clue how to fix this. Is Boundary how I fix this? I can't even touch myself, and hearing myself third-person is fucking weird!" Wise complained. "How do I fix this? Augh! I need... a lab? Is there a lab nearby I can use?" he wondered, several copies looking to Belle immediately afterwards. "Oh! Do you have your portable bench? Maybe we can do something with that?"

[Apollymi]

Yugi was currently giving all of his attention to little Miko and she in turn had something to concentrate on. It seemed to her that her understanding of the memory loss based on her paradoxical existence in this place was correct. What was more, Yugi claimed this wasn't something they did but simply the nature of the paradoxes. If she didn't leave she wouldn't leave and become the her that was going to be here later. "That's unfair, and annoying and patronizing... going the long way around when it's right here..." Miko uttered her understanding but still she pouted. She always would, there was no way around this. But that didn't mean she had to like the idea of suffering...

At the same time there was the rant of all the things that Miko wanted. There were so many options a single decision wasn't something she could whittle down to even just a hand full of options. Ah, but it was way more than a handful, as she started at Yugi, she watched as he seemed to collect that ball of craziness, list of demands and then compressed them. According to him, these kinds of collections were shaky to do, probably because it was so much. "I should thank me, I'm giving myself a thing," she confirmed, another her was getting her awesome thing. It would seem that drunken Miko in the cage remembered something important in that same moment, her head leaned back but she still looked towards that magic carpet, "Little Me, you're the best, arigatou♪~" Elder Miko chimed in. "You're welcome..." Little Miko replied, she'd not actually expected that, it was a little on the nose. Did she get that because she thought it, and her elder self remembered it? That was a thought to set aside for later. A warm hand was back atop her head and she was hearing words specifically for her. She wanted everything, hadn't learned restraint or moderation at all. But apparently she didn't need it, according to Yugi it wasn't part of her being so she could have everything. His words his direction to listen, echoed in her head, they stroked her ears, and settled into her soul. Impossible, was everything at the same time, ugh, she didn't like that, no matter what she wanted everything at the same time. It stoked a need to be contrary. A box was created and it was filled with those words and affirmations, and that weird saying she'd picked up the first time. Still doing everything at once was impossible, but everything was possible. Beyond this there were two things for her in her dreams, one of their OTP life, which she fully understood as a thing, it'd be worth a watch or two... and one of the fun part which apparently had some different kinds of things going on. Never both at the same time. "I was paying attention. No mixing flu meds with Adderall... The... fun one has branching scenarios to play through and it's an active experience. I can have everything... caveats apply in a way that feels weird," little Miko summarized. "What about Sina, she's been awfully quiet and I kind of need my dark voice. Well... I don't need so much dark advice, but what about Annie?"

Meanwhile, the pair of Uranus were busy trying to figure out what to do about the multiples of the male version of them present in the area. Belle was also working through her own thoughts. "I mean I knew it wasn't fully tested. I didn't know you'd made any adjustments so maybe it isn't so bad. Still, this is a party... I don't think anything here would be any more complex than a bar," she said pacing as well in a crowd of Wise. Her hands were running through short blue hair as she thought through some potential solutions. "I really hope it isn't Boundary time. I'm not ready to go back yet... last time I lost my ranking in Smash," she complained herself. Obviously it wouldn't be too bad. Surely there was a fix, "Maybe we could throw together a workbench or something, there are enough of you here to use for brain power and what not, right?" she was trying to trouble shoot. "Or we could take it a part and put it back together then depower and power it back up?" Basic tech support lingo.

[Bloodedge]

"It's just how things work. We never really found an answer to it, buuut... infinite lifetimes also requires filling the time, so it never really mattered," Yugi answered first and foremost. Moving on from that, there were words of thanks from one Miko to another ─ something that immediately caused the younger one to think. Yugi had no comment to give about her ongoing thought process, but he did have two spheres to give her. That advice was imperative, however. Miko reiterated his points in her own way, and he held those first two spheres of magic up to her lips as a gesture. At the same time, he took a moment to ruffle her hair. "Good girl. When you want to take one, just put it inside you somehow before bed. Yes, it's going to turn into a magic dildo. Yes, it's in the shape of mine. Yes, you can remember the dreams. No, there's no particular reason for that... and yes, it's still mandatory♥~" he explained. As for her question, he'd actually forgotten about Sinais until she brought it up. "Oh. Right. Yeah, totally on purpose. Anyway, what about Sina? If she's suffering in there, it's because she hasn't asked for freedom. I could technically leave her like she is, and it won't be an issue unless you're in proximity of me or my variants. If she's got nothing to say right now, I'll take a vote from your other selves ─ the ones inside you, that is."

With that, Yugi could finally split his attention a bit. In doing so, he witnessed some interestingly frantic behavior from the Uranians. Belle noted this being a party, and how low the chance of there being anything useful for them and their issue. Wise lamented immediately. Could they make something work with an open bar? Absolutely not! Even if his brain had been multiplied a hundred times over in addition to hers being present, they didn't have those sorts of skills in their repertoire. "I could have all the brains in the universe, but you're right. We can't reverse-engineer an atomizer with liquor," he stated solemnly. Maybe they could do something with just the atomizer itself, but... a quick interjection from Yugi put that thought to rest. "The problem you're having is partly your tech, partly the fact that you don't even have a Time Engine built into that thing. You could reverse the polarities or whatever if you want, but it would only fling a thousand copies of Wise across the galaxy between now and your time. There's definitely one way to fix it... Oh, and don't worry too much. This isn't a time-space issue, so no Boundary for this... as long as you fix it."

[Apollymi]

Time filling, this was about the only explanation that Yugi and Kimiko had apparently come up with to describe the reason why paradox memory erasure existed. It was fin, Miko was coming to accept the coming future, even if she didn't like it. One moment to another little moments were stacking up on top of each other. They filled Miko's mind and would allow her to come to some sort of conclusion. But it wasn't going to be something she had a full understanding of but that was fine, she was used to piecing things together over time anyways. Two balls were used in a gesture and Miko's hair was ruffled, 'At least I still get headpats!~' she thought happily at that hair ruffling. Still there were more instructions, "Uh-huh... I haven't said in a while, but damn I love magic♪!~" Miko chimed happily. She could only take one of these magical memory altering dicks, but she could give herself some interesting dreams. "Hai, understood. I will... do something with those when the time is right," Miko mused. As for the rest of it and Sinais apparently she simply hadn't submitted so she was being tortured past that original moment for the duration of Miko's escapades so long as she was near Yugi or one of his Variants. "You definitely forgot..." Miko uttered by his reaction to it. As for Sinais herself, she likely would have asked for reprieve, but she was still twitching in the inner mind of Miko as if she was already going through quite a bit. A few colorful switches of Miko's eyes would be happening, before one of her more mature voices settled. "Sina is near-dead twitchy, and Annie is face-down and milk drunk both of which are technically your doing. Personally as your variants are quite numerous I am pretty sure she'll mostly behave," said the voice of Riri before the color switched to a pure green. "Though if you wanted to keep it as a method of control, you could also do that, a trigger for when her attitude is out of hand to make her suffer isn't too harsh considering," the scientific Nym mentioned. "A little give and take isn't so bad, besides we've all been enjoying her form while she's out♪!~" the chipper sounding Robin stated. Miko for her part in this could agree that letting her off the hook for now and giving a trigger to pull the leash wasn't necessarily a bad idea.

Belle and Wise were interesting people, they were trying their best to figure out what to do about the current situation. Belle hoped that something could come of this but neither she nor Wise could think of a way to use a bar to fix the problem of their device. "Damn I was hoping this wouldn't be the case. There's got to be a way to fix it," she exclaimed. Ah, but Yugi was back in and apparently contributing. Putting a Time Engine into the device likely would have made it something that could have been stabilized, "But didn't you tell us we weren't allowed to play with Time Tech..." Belle said very specifically not mentioning that they'd definitely still built all the necessary time based things and hidden them with a great deal of care. "Don't want to shoot Wises everywhere..." she muttered only to breathe a sign of relief. As long as they could fix it, no Boundary time. "That's a relief, kinda, but can we fix this?" she wondered aloud while staring at Wise and all his multiple forms. Maybe a little magnet would work, she could pull extra and an invert the polarities instead of reversing them.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed Miko took to the idea of observing those memory spheres with ease. He expected as much from her, particularly due to the form by which she would absorb them. "Thought you'd say that. Make it good, yeah? I'll be watching~" he mentioned. Whether he'd be watching in a physical or metaphysical sense, well... that was to be determined in the moment. Regarding Sinais, he'd indeed forgotten. Yugi wouldn't even be hiding that simple fact after Miko pointed it out. "Totally forgot," he agreed. Based on the words her other selves had to share, however, his decision only became easier. With that in mind, Yugi stood and stepped away from the brunette. "Well, if she's not going to muster up enough energy to say anything, she can keep it until later. Honestly... I don't even remember what 'it' is. Busy day, as you've seen."

Speaking of Yugi's busy day, Belle was due for something equally busy... if not more so. She and Wise weren't sure how to get around the situation at hand. How innocent they were. Well, they weren't totally innocent. They were indeed told time-based technology was off-limits, but Yugi also knew they had multiple of such things in storage. For now, he'd say nothing about that. "I did say that," was all he stated on that topic. Regarding the actual fix for their problem, it required something less scientific, and more magical... and deviant. "You can fix it. You, specifically, can fix it more easily than anyone else. Wise can't touch himself because atomization fragmented him spiritually. It's pretty impressive for tech, really, so good job you two. Anyway... since being out of your time is a factor, the ultimate answer is a sample from that same time. Basically... you can fix this by fucking every Wise here right now to a state of destabilization, which will force them back into the core body ─ the body that should be in continuous contact with the link: Belle. That's the most efficient fix."

[Apollymi]

Apparently, Miko was to make those uses of the memories good, because she'd be watched. She knew as she existed currently that if this man wanted to watch her do anything direct or indirect she'd make sure to show him something worthwhile. It was a strange thing to realize but if she managed to retain it even as a feeling, she'd make sure that even if she was caught alone, what she'd be doing would be worth seeing. Yes, that seemed like the right answer, well there was a bit more, "Yes Daddy♪!~" Miko agreed. But there was a bit of curiosity let in the lass, "A couple of questions, what do those look like to other people and how am I supposed to tell them apart. I mean, I like roulette way more than I probably should but those are two very different kinds of activities," Miko mentioned always one to learn the proper care of new things. Admittedly she seemed to be missing a question from her list, in general about her state of dress but surely that would come up, eventually. As for the sleeping avatars she had because of his actions, apparently he'd be leaving them for a while, though he had the grace not to pretend once called out on being forgetful. "Well, I don't mind as long as she comes back eventually, Annie is still a bit too light to function on her own," Miko said thoughtfully. That being said her other selves would be fine for helping out, of that she was certain. "Oh and in case you forgot what is actually going on, I'm pretty sure she's been suffering resonance since Zhongli," Miko stated. No matter what she knew that avatar wasn't yet complete enough for her to take the form of, so she wasn't really upset about it.

Meanwhile, the talk of Time Engines was acknowledged and it would seem as if they still weren't allowed them. As such Belle wouldn't be saying anything else about the way such a thing could be used in this case. Ah, but while she and Wise racked their brains to try and figure out what to do about their major 'accident' it would seem that there was a viable answer. Well, as viable as fucking dozens of copies of one's life partner could be. Belle heard his words and thought about them for a few moments, and while it did nothing for her device, it would fix Wise which was the main problem currently. "Right, right... already linked up. That does make sense. I have the controller that is system compatible. I didn't think about that at all..." she said rubbing a hand over her obviously reddened face. "But damn there are a lot of him here... like I know it'd be efficient, it's logical but... 5 v 1s damn those odds," she murmured. This was going to be an undertaking if she actually wanted to get multiples of him down as quickly as possible. "She really didn't even think about it. Completely missed the fixing of the person in favor of fixing the hardware instead..." Kimiko mentioned as she floated around Yugi. 'Also your little one is still naked. Phones were by the kids, kids were close together to be dropped off.'

[Bloodedge]

Yugi knew the youngest Miko would follow his instructions and make a good show of her 'dream acquisition' as it were. It had nothing to do with foreknowledge, and everything to do with knowing she'd make it interesting to watch without much, if any, guidance. There were some more things for him to address though, such as the visual state of those two spheres he handed off. "Oh, don't worry about that. They're called Reality Marbles for a reason..." he said, pausing thereafter. "Oh. This might be the first time you're hearing that, huh? They're marbles. Anyway, there's an audio cue and a couple of visual ones. The one for our OTP sounds like a seashell and is more like a fancy dildo with some extra attachments. The exciting one's got balls, different functions, and sounds like... well, give it a listen~" he suggested. If Miko took his advice then and there, she'd find one of those marbles to possess the sounds of hardcore penetration, the repeated moans of herself and Yugi, and all other associated noises. "If you hold it right up to your ear, you can hear it. Apply a little mana and a wish, and boom! Apply a lot of mana, and there may or may not be a surprise that'll lock you into 'observation mode' until... a thing happens. Oh, and yeah... I remember now. Nothing to worry about. Eventually, she'll probably be on the same page as Esil over there," he mused while looking toward the Uranians.

The answer had been given. On Wise's end, he was only a little confused... but bore a lot of excitement. Was he being told the solution was for him to singlehandedly subject Belle to a gangbang? That was certainly how it sounded. When Belle mentioned the odds of five against one, several copies of Wise had something to say... but they were all interrupted by Yugi. "Only five? You could take at least seven, easy! Get that rack and those feet involved! Hell, use those awesome thighs too," he goaded. Just then, the Wises were looking at each other in contemplation. "That's not a bad idea," many of them muttered. "It'll probably take this whole party to get it done, but there's no way she can handle that many of me. It'd be awesome," some of the others said. Meanwhile, Yugi was receiving a verbal message from Kimiko in addition to a mental one. Both would receive a vocal response. "Don't we all have that level of tunnel-vision in one way or another? You know, like how I was thinking of sending somebody down to a card shop in open lingerie and a trench coat just because I really wanna see it," he mused. Actually, now that he was thinking about it... "Hmm. Future plan. Going full public onahole. You want the marble when I get it?" he asked of Miko directly.

[Apollymi]

The youngest Miko would be making a show of her nighttime activities, if only because someone was watching. She wasn't yet aware that people enjoyed watching her in general, but that was fine, she'd come around eventually. Until that time she'd be learning about Reality Marbles, and finding out that she didn't have to worry about carrying around two magical objects which were now for her personal use. Slight visual cues and apparently audio cues as well, their OTP sounded like a seashell, that would be easy... the other... "Those both sound really interesting... I'll, just find out the difference," she said softly. She placed the OTP one up to her ear and heard some soft sounds like waves, that was fine. The other however was something else entirely. Moans, groans, sounds she was utterly familiar with the sound of and then, an outcry in her own voice, "As if, I'd let him put that trash pinky dick inside me, I wouldn't even spit on it! This pussy belongs to Daddy! Only his dick can fuck me♪~" she heard herself say. There was no other context, except perhaps a background whimper among the moans and groans. Still, that young version of Miko looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Her face flushed immediately and she moved that marble away from her ear and clamped it closed between her hands as if she could mute it. And looked around the room as if making sure that no one else heard her say such a thing even as not herself, making odd eye contact with Kaguya as she grinned. "Oya, that has to be spicy, huh? Lil' Mi-chan has secondhand embarrassment~ It's soo cute♥~" Kaguya mentioned which only made the situation worse from Miko's perspective. "Spicy? Yeah... I guess. I didn't know my mouth could string those words together..." Miko mumbled after hearing that, seemingly in shock. There was more information in there, and she heard it while still in her state of shock. "Right, not too much or I get sleep paralysis. Sina's being forced to comply with submissive and breedable, understood," she said almost robotically still not understanding what exactly she'd said.

Meanwhile, Belle was mentally preparing herself to take on a number of clones of her own partner. According to Yugi, she could do more than five, and he even gave options of other body parts to get involved. "Hm, I'm not sure I was born with enough coordination for that... though thighs aren't a bad idea," Belle said. Wise was quite correct though, handling one of him was quite a lot, for her, but... if she had to fix this problem they created by taking on multiples of him then she supposed it was the only thing to do. "Hey hey, you keep talking about it like that, I'm going to have to assume this sabotage was purposeful!~" Belle said back. "Is there really no way to enlist can I phone a friend, get some help... I don't use, use another character to lower the stamina and pop back in for the KO?" she started thinking like a deviant with relative ease, knowing that it was the fix there had to be a better way than just trying to smash that many of a singular individual. As for the conversation between Kimiko and Yugi she chuckled, "I suppose we do all have our own forms of tunnel vision, that one is extreme, but she'd definitely pass out before entering and it might start a dark hero uprising," Kimiko uttered about the idea of sending Miko into a card shop in lingerie, those places were notorious for their less than friendly nature towards girls in general. Still that question to Miko about another marble took negative amounts of consideration, she shifted her eyes towards Yugi again, still holding those two clasped in her hands. "Yes!" she said with an odd amount of confidence. Interestingly enough Aglaea was stopping in front of Miko holding out a bag, which looked like a small satchel while golden lines and fliigree embroidered into it. "If you're working on a collection this will help and it will always be big enough," Aglaea mentioned. Her face was impassive, but there was a certain warmth in those almost dead looking eyes. Finally unclamping her hands to take the bag and have somewhere to deposit her new treasures. "Arigatou, really nice hot lady♪!~" Miko chirped which actually made a small smile appear on her hips before she began her dance again. All the while Kimiko watched that exchanged with a certain amount of interest.

[Bloodedge]

Once Miko decided to discover the difference between those marbles, Yugi kept her in his periphery. This was going to be good, he thought. Lo and behold, he wasn't wrong. He couldn't hear the same thing she did, but that reaction made it clear... she heard a very good line. That quick shutdown reaction could have come from any one of a million moments. "There's a lot of whatever you just heard, by the way. There's... a lot of everything. You make a great target for the hentai bucket list," he mentioned. Apparently, she didn't realize her mouth could list whatever words she heard from herself. Returning to his former behavior of floating, Yugi appeared somewhat devilish. "Oh? Well what's the strongest thing you think you can say? Go on; hit me with it," he teased.

Belle had a job to do for the sake of repairing Wise and his extreme presence at this party. As one could expect, she immediately went fishing for support or a more efficient, less taxing way of approaching the situation. Yugi appreciated the thought process, and indeed it would be ridiculous to expect that much of her. They were among the youngest great beings in this system, so perhaps such extremes were a few centuries off... or a few days, depending on the rate of progress. "Well, since you didn't do anything wrong, I don't think we'd ever say no. You'll still have to take a lot, but that's just for GP. If anyone wants to help, that's fine," he decided. With that, he turned in the air to look between Kimiko and Miko. True enough, it would be a waste to think of going through with his deviant plan in this reality, here and now. Still... that wouldn't stop him from doing it elsewhere, only to apparently share with an excited Miko herself. "It's a date. And..." Yugi paused there, watching a brief exchange between Miko and Aglaea ─ one that he'd definitely be bringing up with the latter at a later time. For now... "... One hundred years. Dungeon," he said plainly. Either way, Miko's observation of the blonde was interesting. "Hm. Awesome, right? I figured you'd get along. Anyway, what do you want to wear? Maybe the really nice hot lady will weave something for you, since she's already breaking rules we can't even talk about right now."

[Apollymi]

The difference between those two marbles was something that Miko wasn't prepared for, it was obvious by her still reddened ears which were hidden beneath a curtain of warm brown hair. Lucky her, she'd say, except her reactions were still noted by at least Kaguya and Yugi. "Great target for a hentai bucket list, didn't think that would be applied to me. I can barely get through light novel series I enjoy without shutting them instantly, when I come across things like that..." Miko uttered. Still, she wouldn't be upset about being a great target for someone's attention even a deviants, so long as she liked them. Beyond this point Yugi began to tease her, asking for the strongest thing she thought she could say. What did she think she could say? Well, there was already all the things she'd previously said and everything she'd ranted about a few minutes ago. Normally she had Sinais to whisper sweet darkness sayings in her ear, but without her, the NSFW box was left unmanned. "Daddy, Fuck me until your pussy remembers what my mind can't..." Miko stopped speaking immediately after, her mind fully registering the sentence she'd spoken only for her to cover her own mouth. "Waaaah♪!~ I didn't mean to say that, it was more extreme than the other thing!" she uttered quickly her entire face so hot she was sure there was steam coming out of her ears. Perhaps she shouldn't just open her mouth to provocation. "Damn I gotta use that one. Way to go little me♪!~" Elder Miko chimed from her cage, those words were good words, she didn't remember saying them so early. Though she did maintain a memory of feeling like she was about to pass out from embarrassment.

While little Miko tried to recover from her weird verbal slip, Belle was being told that she could receive help with the Wise problem. "Volunteers, for taking on the swarm!?" Belle asked of the women present. A few would vocalize interest and ones like Kaguya were already in route to a few. "Seems like the start of a new party game? Or a variant..." mentioned Kimiko as she watched that happening. Ah, but it couldn't get all of her attention... of course not. First there was a matter of an excited younger Miko setting herself up to get a marble that would contain her, being into some public indecency and a bit more. "Total degenerate, they grow up so fast~" Kimiko said with a grin on her face. But then there was the matter of Aglaea, who was approachign Miko directly and giving her an item that she definitely shouldn't be. No need to speak on that though, it was more impressive for another reason, but that one would only get discussed later. "A hundred... " a pause came from Aglaea as that sentence was passed. "Alright," she seemed to be accepting of it, even as she started directly at Yugi, it was still such a struggle not to say what she actually wanted to say. "Definitely awesome!" Miko chirped as Aglaea maintained a somewhat stoic visage. Still the woman looked at Miko with an unreadable expression as she spoke of clothing. "Oh, well, since I am already in trouble and I knew I would be... I was already working on it wasn't I?" Aglaea said with maximum snark. Still ever nice was Iino Miko and she managed to feel a bit bad, "I'm used to other people choosing my clohtes, so if you've already made something I'm fine with wearing it. Also, I'm sorry for getting you in trouble," Miko said while being truly apologetic. Once again, that stoic visage cracked just a little, this youngest version of Miko was so precious. "It is nothing to worry about, little one. I have something cute in mind for you, I think you'll like it..." she said as the garment maker moved around the girl beginning to fit her frame precisely starting from underwear, a small decorative lace thong and matching strapless bra, before moving onto the outerwear of a white halter top with orange and golden trim which fit snuggly around her body. There was also a pair of form fitted black shorts, with small garter like extensions for her phone and the marble bag she now owned. Beyond that some thigh high black socks with golden trim and a pair of short heeled boots with high laces. Completing the outfit with a black leather bomber jacket with the same golden and orange trim.

[Bloodedge]

"Yeah, I know. That's why you're such a good target. So easy to fluster," Yugi specified. The fun of a target like Miko was watching her shift in and out of the proverbial closet of deviance. One such example was the statement she offered in accordance with his own goading. Very pointed was that one, as was it very... specific. There was a glow in Yugi's eyes upon hearing it. His brow quirked, and his attention shifted fully toward the blushing brunette. "Did you... do that on purpose?" he wondered, unsure if she even had a clue what she'd done. Those specific words, that specific sentence, meant he'd be making a very complicated visit ─ one that had to happen quite soon in Miko's timeline. He had to actually accomplish what she requested; it was too spiritually driven to brush off.

Meanwhile, Wise and his many selves were shuffling about just slightly, some even being approached by the likes of Kaguya. Obviously, this was the best outcome for him ─ he got free action many times over due to an accident. Yugi knew, however, that it would be an interesting ending... but that wasn't worth spoiling at present. Kimiko brought up the idea of a new party game/variant, which seemed to be going interesting places as well. Even with no specific details going, both Yugi and Wise knew something amusing would come together. "I get to be a new game? I always wanted to be one of those!" Wise said excitedly. Meanwhile, Aglaea and Miko continued their interaction for the sake of clothing the latter... and Yugi seemed to be working on something else. To avoid immediately reacting to her request by the pull of his own soul, he had to form a contract of sorts. "Ugh, how to deal with this without having to do something the moment you forget? I could say... first time alone? That might work..." he mumbled.

Easy to fluster, was indeed an apt descriptor of Iino Miko. This was apparently something that made her a target for people like Yugi. This was not a problem for Miko, as she enjoyed his attention, even when it made her embarrassed. For instance, her trying to think through something she wouldn't mind saying, after hearing what was said by the alternate version of her in the marble. But she'd not actually figured out what to say by the time she spoke, "Definitely easy to fluster. I apparently fluster myself..." Miko uttered while still aghast. But what about the words she'd spoken? Well, he'd turned his attention towards her, and she'd not expected it. "Of course I didn't do it on purpose. It fell out of my mouth before I even decided what words I was okay saying..." Miko confessed. Admittedly though, that random attention and a glowing eye was rather intense, the blushing face of Iino Miko would be going nowhere anytime soon, 'I might be turning into Kaya-sen. And I am sure I shouldn't be speaking when I keep just blurting out weird stuff all the time.' she thought. What was more even if she hadn't realized it yet, she wasn't actually opposed to the thing she'd said, and was only truly aghast that she'd said it aloud without filtering it at all.

In the meantime, there was the development of a party game, which was surely going to be named after the coming event. Whether the name happened at the beginning or end didn't really matter. "I guess, it's a decent goal. Still, I'm a gamer... I'm not about to be anything but on the top of a leaderboard that's you, Nii-san!~" Belle said as she seemed to gather herself up to the task. Five was her thought on the number of individuals she could take, but maybe seven was possible. "So, is the point of this game, just to conquer as many Wise as possible? Should there be counters?♥~" Kaguya asked almost playfully. "Sounds about right, and then imagine it, we can use Wise as a scale for sex power rankings♥~" Kimiko said with a playful wink. At the same time, Aglaea finished dressing Miko who was hearing the mumblings of Yugi and staring at him. She found herself looking at Yugi strangely, why did it sound like they needed to meet up again soon and why was she excited by it. "I don't know if I should apologize or feel smug for doing something unintentionally..." Miko settled on her thoughts. For her part in this Aglaea was now simply inspecting Miko's form and commenting on her attire. "Definitely as cute as I thought it would be, what do you think?" she asked the girl who stood and rotated in place. "I really like it. It's comfy but form-fitting and it has a kind of techy look but also seems like something I could have picked for myself. And it has so many pockets! Arigatou Gouzaimasu!~" Miko mentioned tucking that little marble bag into one of the pockets on her thigh. She uttered quickly, as several of her words hit the ears of Aglaea strangely but she only nodded. "I'm glad you like it, little one. Anything else?" she asked of Yugi, not wanting to get herself into any more 'trouble'.

According to Miko, whatever she'd done was not done with purpose. He figured as much; there was a slim chance she'd be utilizing that manipulation tactic so very early. That didn't change the fact that she'd pulled a magical string with a very potent action attached to the other end. Yugi would have to be the one dealing with that, if only to avoid another conundrum in this timeline. After a bit of thought, he heard Miko mentioning something about apologies and unintended actions. He wasn't piecing her words together very well while sorting through his own thoughts, but that changed nothing about the outcome either way. "Hmm... yeah, it might work. A contract. How's this? When you're alone... when you're properly alone... say my name. Not one of the silly names everybody knows. Say the big one," he said with no real context as to what the name was. Right away, Yugi moved on to addressing Aglaea. "Nothing I can think of. If anything else came up, you'd probably punch a hole in the space-time continuum. Then you'd have to put on a Temporal Pair-o-Socks," he mentioned.

All the while, Wise's excitement was growing over the idea of being a new game's main subject. Whatever the intended game was, he was interested. Of course, he didn't get much of an idea from the statements of Belle, Kaguya and Kimiko, but did that matter? No it didn't. Multiple versions of Wise were absolutely ecstatic as things came together. In fact, the ones closest to an interested Kaguya were beginning to circle the black-haired girl, while others brought up commentary about the game being created. "Wait, I get to have rankings? That's the best kind of game to get! C'mon, what's it gonna be? And how do we make this a game to revisit without splitting my atoms every time? Because, I don't know if you all know this, but... that kinda hurt more than anything."

As was the case with most of Miko's actions, they were unplanned. Those words from her mouth, a simple act of executing without any real thought being put into her words or actions. Of course the Elder Miko had already had a conversation about being better when it came to moments like this, but the younger one hadn't yet learned such a tactic. Even so, things that were accidental, could be used later with purpose when the results were able to be quantified and repeatable. She didn't say anything but still, the gears in the back of her mind turned, depending on the outcome of this, she might be inclined to use such words again, it was all but confirmed by her elder self. "Is this just a demon thing... thinking with horny, saying a name I assume I don't know yet," Miko seemed to understand the assignment even if she'd not understood the why. "Okay though, when I am properly alone... a name I don't know," she repeated the instructions seeming to want to remember them quite a bit. Aglaea on the other hand was told nothing more was needed from her, that she might punch a hole in space time if she overstayed or overreached. "Hm, but they are so comfy, how could I say no?~" Aglaea said with one of the flattest affects ever heard. That level of sarcasm was odd, but she didn't need to do anything else, instead she'd move on to something else, for now at least.

The excitement surrounding the game being created was among the most amusing of the things happening presently. Kimiko was pretty good at thinking through the baseline, even as a pack of Wise were surrounding Kaguya. It would seem the young man himself wondered how this game would progress and how it was to be repeated without splitting his atoms again. "Come on now, no need to worry about something like that, there are plenty of ways to do it, without the pain of atom splitting; Magical clones, pulling out Avatars or Variants, there is also the regular way of just calling up more dudes to get them involved. The game has you as the base, but the exact situation isn't necessary for another round or fifty~" Kimiko mentioned. Meanwhile Belle would be thinking about the game as she understood it to exist. "Basically, the game is getting you off as many times as possible, so our rankings would be a Wise body count. Oh... like the Heartless Rush, but sex instead of violence~" Belle mentioned seemingly more hyper about the start of this game than anything else. "Hoh? Interesting... I'll provide counters and participate myself, surely I could take 10 or so without much of a problem~" Morgan said seemingly amused by it as a thought. A gauntlet was forming as a number of people had glowing blue counters in old runes appearing over their heads.

Miko's question about the unknown name she was to speak, which she called a 'demon' thing, was met by a playful and dismissive scoff. "Chiisai na. That would be a demon thing, yeah... but it's a name you know. You just don't know you know it yet. I know that doesn't make sense, but... big names are like that. You know how cats can know their names, but it's more like they recognize the sound? That's how all names are, but none more than ones like what you'll need to say. The feeling comes first; it'll lead to the right sound. Oh, but be mindful of the place. There will... be a bit of a tear," he explained. "Anyway, yeah. TL;DR: the name is inside you. You'll know it when the overwhelming desire to let me in hits, so... be ready to say something else in a way you didn't originally plan to say it~" he added.

Wise, who finally had a dream coming true as a member of this massive group, apparently didn't have to worry about any atom-splitting in his future. A sigh of relief came from dozens of him at once; he didn't want to relive that feeling. "Oh, awesome! I like those ideas way more than splitting my atoms. Seriously, I don't recommend anybody doing that thing. It sucks ass," he complained further. With the rules being established, and with Morgan even taking on the role of scorekeeper and participant, Yugi turned himself upside-down and floated nearby. He'd been passively listening to the game as it came together. With his place in the universe, he decided to speak up. "Sounds like a good game to me. Atsushi Tataki... or Whack-a-Wise. Master Rule 1: Players can only take a target that's ready. Game Condition: once the game begins officially, all targets will shuffle, and participants will have to select one that's ready before he goes soft again. Any against?"

Meanwhile, the younger Kazuhiko was silently, sneakily working his way through a series of Wises, as if to remain hidden in doing so. He was making his way toward a particular blonde: the one called Jean. It didn't seem he was on the usual mission stemming from horny teen behavior, but instead one of curiosity. If he managed only to get her attention, he'd be gesturing in an attempt to pull her toward... well, a slightly more secluded area if one existed in this sea of clones.
