Charles Patricius

[Apollymi]

Extreme. Anais or rather, Iino Miko could be described as such in various moments in her life. Here and now, she was being called such for her near obsessive behaviors concerning one Abe no Seimei. She'd admitted to this, mostly because she was intoxicated and because it'd become a memory for her again, and partly because she felt little to no shame about her obsession with Abe no Seimei. "I feel like you call me extreme too often to be a demon," Anais offered Yume who only just shrugged. Of course, Charles chose to point out the crazy age difference and life difference that Anais knew of already. "Eh, Charlie, I don't think we are agreeing for the same reason... random historical or mythological people is right up her alley. I am more shocked by the sheer dedication to make a single wish... so many times. She works at the Seimei Shrine every year, she goes there for holidays and festivals... she didn't just confess to an admittedly odd target crush," she offered. Meanwhile, Anais had a justification of her own, "He's a national treasure. His age isn't my concern, you don't make wishes based on logic..." she stated truthfully, not knowing how to fully explain her obsession. Context didn't make it better, but at least Yuuya was on her side. "See, he gets it!" she said of Yuuya. They were friends now, more so than any other moment she'd chosen.

Besides all of that, Anais made a decision. She'd believe in herself, her original self. The young girl who wished repeatedly for Abe no Seimei would believe in his virtues even if he wasn't alive presently. He was the most reasonable person and deserving of her understanding and as she came to terms with the aspects of her life that had shifted so greatly, she'd ground herself in people and things she'd already loved and understood. "Hm, devotion on that level is very cute," Sakura concluded of her own accord. Of course, she knew a few truths which led her to believe the girl's rather strong desires surrounding people she was aware of, would eventually be met. Right now though there was the matter of the game, which would be a 'Never have I ever...' Sakura had many things she hadn't done, but only few she could apply to large groups of people enough to encourage everyone to drink... "Never have I ever..." she started. Those four words, were the doom of many. Anais was sure she was both hot and aroused and a little ashamed, but in her mind her inner self was full of energy. "Felt embarrassed," she said seeming to have come to an understanding of a difference between herself and the others present. It was such a simple thing, but one which hit both Yume and Anais immediately as things she'd have to drink to, 'Fucking right, humans must consume!' Sinais mentioned. Well, Anais supposed her other self was a shameless individual and was being fed, she couldn't really blame her for being happy. 'Fucking right! No worries... we'll make sure Shishou helps us out of this~' she chimed to herself.

The density of the forest on the horizon was quite surprising. That being said, Martha at least reocgnized it. She supposed their current destination made sense, the forest that Yuuya had originally been found in, was indeed a place to go. Still, she couldn't be too bothered about it now. No, she was far too busy being concerned about the manhood buried deeper into her person than anything had ever been before. The movements of her hips against Astolfo made her slowly rise and lower, seeming to give herself a lot of freedom to experience the gentle rubbing sensation against the inside of her womb, but never really removed Astolfo from where he was stuck. She should probably say something eventually, but she couldn't bring herself to, no... she was too busy enjoying the feelings and moaning her content as she rode the lad as she would any mount. She was taking no flak and her own rhythm was one which would gently raise and lower her loins against it. It was a pleasant and mind numbing experience.

[Bloodedge]

Charlemagne and Yume were on the same page, but reading different stanzas. Her issue with Anais's choice was allegedly the repeat of a wish every year, whereas his was the wish itself. Alas, he didn't think it was too outlandish after becoming such an old individual himself, but he would have never harbored issues with the repetition. "I don't think that part's weird at all. To me, that just makes it sound like a real wish ─ the kind you don't ever let go of. It's an earnest one, if nothing else," he responded.

Once upon a time, the world knew demonkind by a different name: Gods of Destruction. They were called such due to their innate ability to wipe things from existence, like clearing a board in most cases. Tohsaka Sakura was the daughter of such a creature, and she proved it by coming up with the perfect method to... utterly destroy the competition in a drinking game. Humans had a fault that she was obviously not designed with. They felt emotions of every variety, whereas Sakura seemed mostly incapable of anything but logic as her kind saw it. Charlemagne had never felt so utterly defeated, and neither had Yuuya. "... Yep. Taking dare again," said Charlemagne. "S-...same," Yuuya added, both with their heads hanging low. Someone was going to die if Sakura was just starting hitting her stride at this point of the game. . .

Astolfo. Astolfo was going to die, and he was going to do so regardless of the game's outcome. He didn't even know the game existed, nor did it matter. His death would come at the hands of Martha, who managed to fall into the swing of things rather easily despite earlier difficulties. Desires were activating as normal, it seemed. As a true Rider, even her slower approach to moving his girth around within her provided consistency rarely seen, comparable to the bump of a trotting horse as Astolfo viewed it. "Lucky~♥" he chimed. Astolfo could do little more than sit back and enjoy, but of course... he was definitely going to do more. Idle hands were useless hands. With that belief, the pink-haired lad was soon assaulting Martha's breasts from behind in very familiar fashion. As he'd done once or thrice before, it seemed his goal this time was to also pull down the cups holding those sizeable mounds hostage, all to free her nipples for an impending accosting.

[Apollymi]

Charles and Yume both took issue with Anais's most recent confession for two different reasons. Both also seemed fine with it for their own reasons. According to Charles, though her target was odd, he respected the earnestness of such a desire. Anais was only made to feel worse by this revelation, because she knew her desire to be earnest, and thus felt worse for forgetting it, even if it wasn't her own fault. 'How could I forget something so important! Shame!' she wanted to die. To disappear, to repent. she felt like she owed her younger self, Abe no Seimei and her dreamless mind recompense for forgetting what was most important to her. Drunken Anais was busy lamenting her own failures as a super fan of Japan's Greatest National Treasure. She needed comforting and all kinds of things. 'If we're gonna be this upset about it, we should fuck the hell out of him. Make up for whatever shitty wife betrayed him~' Sinais offered her other self an alternative to self-loathing. 'I really am extreme...' she thought but she saw no reason not to take that advice.

Ah but that wasn't all... they were being destroyed. Sakura managed to make all of the humans in this cart drink. Her lack of emotional development was enough to send an entire group of Gaia side teens into a drunken stupor. She managed to capture them all with such a minor thing. "Waaah!" Anais almost cried. 'I've given myself second-hand embarrassment just reading books before!' she snapped inside her head. Such an outrageous statement caused Yume to chuckle aloud, apparently at nothing at all. Both young men in this game decided to take dares, and Anais was racking her brain looking for another confession to make. 'Take the dare, you're quite talkative drunk...' came the calm words of her protector. 'You say nothing most of the time and now that's what you want?!' she asked of her lighter self. Well, if she spent all her spare time feeding her darkness she might as well make that version of herself happy too. "I don't trust me to make another confession so I guess I'm taking a dare too," Anais managed. "I confess, I prefer to be Mi-chan's little spoon, even when she's smaller than me~" A sip was happening as Yume began to drain her cup. "Amendment, especially when she's smaller than me~" she corrected herself. Just the same she was rather interested in the dares coming to the rest of the group. And was oddly proud of Sakura for catching alll of them so often. "Oh? Does it default to me choosing dares?" Sakura asked neither of the others had said anything.

'Oh shit. She's on to us!' Sinais stated seemingly scared of the potential of this dare. "Ais-nee, I dare you to spend the remainder of the game in Otou-chan's lap," she said to the elafia. "Yuu-kun, I dare you to remove your shirt as well..." she said thinking of those as easy. A wicked little grin crossed her face as she thought about Charles, whom she was still sitting next to, "Char-kun, I dare you to spend the rest of this game with me in your lap," she offered three, very specific tests which would help make everyone uncomfortable but also more comfortable. 'Nevermind, I'm on-fucking-board!' Sinais was a problematic individual, but Anais was tapping her fingers together while that little tirade took place. "Shitsureishimasu... Shishou," she offered quietly as she stood to slip into his personal space, all the while taking a drink and waiting for the second filling for the secondary drink. The penalty of this was extreme. Yume was laughing aloud at the other girl's internal monologue and her straightforward approach to her mentor. 'If she thought like that about anyone else, she'd be happy,' Yume thought, perhaps she'd do her part to encourage that. Drunk Anais was a bit closer to the brave small Miko she was used to.

Just the same, Martha was quite busy herself. She'd not shown herself to be a very vocal person, at least not with actual words. She seemed to be a person of action and was taking it as such, riding Astolfo while he continued to molest her. She didn't mind this, in fact, she seemed a great deal less concerned than she normally would have been, as the lad popped her chest out of its rather snug fitting layer. She would soon be harassed in a more direct way, eliciting more soft sounds as she pushed herself closer towards orgasm with Astolfo being used for his physical prowess. Actually, the movements of his hands against her nipples seemed to be sending ripples into her the core of her body. Why did it have that sort of effect? She didn't know, but as the dark forest came into sight she realized that she'd have to figure it out eventually. What had Astolfo just said? He was lucky? She didn't get that, well, maybe it'd make sense eventually.

[Bloodedge]

While Anais lamented her own forgetfulness, her internal musings were heard by more than herself. There was of course Yume, but elsewhere... there was another. Perhaps the lass would experience the supernatural sensation of being observed for a few moments. Whatever had its eye on her was rather amused, and equally interested in where her thoughts went. All the while, everyone but Yume was prepared to take a dare. Even Anais had lost faith in her own ability to confess in a responsible way, joining the pair of males in taking a challenge instead. Ah, but it would be Sakura who dared the lot of them. Given her ability to assault them all in one fell swoop, that was perhaps the most dangerous outcome. Alas, danger was upon them.

Anais was instructed to sit in her mentor's lap. Both Charlemagne and Yuuya presumed it was forced awkwardness, and nothing else. They'd each be giving her a break with that in mind, all while fearing their own impending doom. Yuuya was next. Much like Charlemagne, he would have to remove his shirt. "Huh?! I... well... um..." Before doing a single thing, he was already embarrassed beyond all reason. Tentatively did he begin unbuttoning his shirt. There was nothing beneath, so he only had to slip it off each arm after doing so. With that action, however, it was made clear that his build was... somehow not very different when compared to Charlemagne's ─ only falling short by a small margin in terms of unreal musculature. He was undoubtedly more embarrassed than he should have been.

Now, Charlemagne's turn had come. His dare was similar to Anais's, involving Sakura taking a place in his lap. Much like the elafia, he was to remain in such a position for the game's duration. Charlemagne had his lap occupied while Ailen suffered the same fate ─ though the latter was the only one to cause any actual issues. "Oh? I thought I was exempt from these things. It may be difficult to keep playing like this," he mused, shifting the harp he'd been playing aside to make room. Meanwhile, Charlemagne was wondering how badly this would go for him. He left himself physically open enough to receive Sakura in his lap, but he acknowledged it as a very dangerous... if not oddly gratifying event.

Astolfo was baffled by the amount of silence Martha exemplified whilst in the middle of debauchery. Many he knew were at least willing to be vocal, but this woman had been silent for some time now. Even so, he was being given reason to do anything but complain. With Martha's breasts exploding out of that garment that kept them contained by sheer force of will, he was able to work on discovering how sensitive her nipples were. In those first few moments of accosting, it seemed sensitivity was high enough to make his approach worthwhile. He could feel her reaction through his rod, and as such, he had plenty of incentive to pinch and hold both peaks. As for how he was to be considered lucky, Martha would indeed be finding out... eventually.

[Apollymi]

Anais could do nothing but lament. Ah, but even in her sadness she couldn't escape a strange sensation. People being able to hear her thoughts, was something Anais was coming to terms with, but there was a different kind of knowledge which hadn't quite settled into her yet. She was sure she was being watched, enough that she physically reacted to it. Her anxiety level spiked by a great deal and she wondered if this was becoming part of her new normal. Her face turning slightly towards the direction of that unknown sensation. Inside her head, her own voice gave a warning that the other two agreed with... 'I'm in danger,' she commented not knowing why she felt that way.

Too bad, Anais wouldn't have enough time to keep thinking about all the problems she was developing. No... because a current problem was present in the form of Sakura and by Anais's own design she dealt with the things in front of her as they appeared in order of urgency. And right now, Sakura was a destructive force, willing her into the lap of her mentor. Even so... Anais didn't seem to be that upset about it. Actually in her drunken state she would have easily climbed into his lap and lamented aloud her problems if not for present company. Ailen mused that he thought himself immune from their interruption and spoke of not being able to play. "Rules are rules, Shishou," Anais claimed as she tucked herself into her elf mentor's lap. 'Woohoo, back in Shishou's lap! We fucking love it here!~' Sinais was so honest. Tall as he was, she had a lot of space to work with and immediately gained some relaxation by taking such a place. 'Focus. I can finally focus,' Anais thought. If nothing else, diverting her thoughts towards her mentor was an apt use of his words to her earlier. Meanwhile, Yuuya removed his shirt per the instruction of Sakura and Sakura nodded her approval of his behavior while Yume watched unabashedly while he disrobed. Given his physical prowess, his timid behavior didn't make sense. She took from the idea that either, he didn't look like this before, or he'd been ridiculed in some way. "Hoh? This peak human fitness, Mi-chan?" she asked of the elafia, Anais shifted her attention to Yuuya and found his form to be a bit closer to what she thought was normal. Of course, it wasn't the godly status that Charles had gained but it wasn't nearly as far away as it could have been. "No, it's better than that. I'd put it near the top... closer to Rei and Ro..." she said before thinking about her commentary. "Gomennasai, I didn't mean to comment like that. No shame or anything...congrats," she offered the lad. "She's right, perk up Yuuya-kun, shirtless with muscles like that is definitely a positive!~" Yume claimed as absently as she'd been commenting on anything. Just the same, Anais was drinking her second cup, as per the established rules, though it wasn't doing her any favors as far as helping her keep her mind clear.

Just the same, Charles left his lap open for Sakura and she would take it. Slipping into the space with a large grin settling into her face as she nudged herself against him settling into the space between his legs. but leaving him the use of an arm for their continued drinking. It was his turn after all. "Hm, that is all dares taken care of... Char-kun, it's your turn in the rotation," she reminded him of this placement in this game of never have I ever and wondered if he had anything left to go for, to try and make anyone else drink. While they waited for that, the silent Martha would be breaking her silence at least a little. She'd been quite busy in her own mind and the rhythm of her ride hadn't been disrupted by the antics of Astolfo either. Still... the sensations she was feeling and the sheer length of time this sexual endeavor had been taking place was quite long by her own experience. "I... feel like this world has done something really strange to me," she murmured that strange thought aloud. "That feels really nice though..." she added. That simple bit of encouragement was all she had to offer as she continued a ride which would carry her to bliss in only a few seconds. Outside the carriage all she heard was wind, horses, Astolfo and herself. Actually, this whole thing was rather exciting if she was being honest.

[Bloodedge]

Was Anais in danger? Well, yes, certainly. It was neither immediate nor life=threatening in any way, but something she'd rather avoid was on the horizon and getting closer with every thought following a certain process. Strangely enough, the unreal scrutiny had nothing to do with her thoughts about Abe no Seimei ─ at least not initially. She and her darker self were giving many serious consideration to karmic repercussions. Such things could be sensed with great ease by those who connected themselves to the concept, and in-turn were connected to by it. At the current rate of progression, Anais would be suffering some unavoidable side-effects very soon, by no one's conscious effort. Regardless, she remained unbothered enough to take up her mentor's lap, thus reminding the elf indirectly of how much he'd been assaulted by her for most of the morning. He was the sober one here; he had no reason to be deviating in thought. The term 'going native' couldn't even apply ─ he was being colonized instead.

Meanwhile, Yuuya was suffering an intense case of embarrassment without a shirt. In fact, he had the strangest expression as if he were suffering a trauma. In fact, he was. It wasn't until a strangely positive reception of his shirtless state that he realized things weren't so bad ─ there was no need to freak out. There was, however, even more of a need to be embarrassed. Two girls were complimenting his physique, and he was drunk enough to be nearly dysfunctional. Those two new experiences together were too much to deal with. "I. . ." How could he even react? Well... he couldn't, so he didn't manage even a single sentence.

Charlemagne would save his brother in awkward scenarios from further anguish. First though, he needed some form of divine intervention to save himself. Sakura seated herself in his lap, but not in any normal way. What she chose instead was to plop herself right in the middle, which immediately put Charlemagne in the realm of impending erection. Why? His thoughts were bad enough that dealing with physical stimuli was unnecessary. He wasn't complaining physically, but his mind was all over the place. Actually... he was intoxicated enough that his body was beginning to run along with it, fidgeting lightly for quite some time once contact was made. Ah, and it was his turn as well. "R-right. Uh... never have I ever... sat in a man's lap!" he declared. In that regard, Charlemagne had two confirmed victims right away. He'd never done such a thing, but two major causes of his drunkenness certainly had now, even if never before.

At long last, Martha's silence came to an end. Her consistency was unparalleled. Astolfo took note of her faultless rhythm even as he assaulted her; it was something he'd rarely seen anyone do. Despite her ease of receiving Astolfo, she vocalized the belief that this world had done something to her. She claimed it felt nice, but that had nothing to do with whatever the world itself had allegedly done. "Done something like what? I haven't noticed a thing," he said, utterly lost in regards to her meaning. "But if it feels good, keep going! We're just getting started!"

[Apollymi]

Anais thinking of the karma surrounding her desires and Abe no Seimei was something which invited that weird feeling. 'I feel like I shouldn't agree with you, but I do. He deserves better,' the elafia concluded. 'Yosh! Confidence! We're gonna ride that dick and get a ring!' her internal self was quite proud of her little outer self, and seemingly aboard with her childhood wish of marrying Abe no Seimei. All the while, Yume was staring at her friend. That internal voice of hers had a desire of the strangest sort of world domination. They were going to rock the world one day. They were already succeeding in their takeovers as her darkness understood it. Their elf mentor seemed to be very ready for the sort of deviance they had to offer, even though they'd already almost murdered him a few hours ago. How nice. A gentle wiggle of the girl's hips occurred as she settled in. A stop in the music for a bit wasn't really a problem as she sat with her cup in her hand pleased beyond reason.

Beyond that, Yuuya seemed to be incapable of coming to terms with his level of attractiveness. Of course, this was something easily understood by everyone, they weren't trying to put him on the spot. But, Charles would be the one to come to his rescue and it would be shortly after Sakura adjusted to his slight fidgeting as she settled between his legs. How nice, this was definitely worth attempting. What would Charles be saying though, never had he ever, sat in a man's lap? "Oh? I guess I am drinking..." said Sakura who smiled before adding in her confession. "I confess, I saw my sister do this in a dream and figured it would be pretty fun..." she said pointing out that all of this had been a learning experience. As for Yume and Anais they looked at each other, the elafia's current perch made her far too comfortable and Yume could only scoff. "You know, if you'd asked this yesterday I wouldn't be drinking right now..." she offered. "Hm can that count as my confession?" she asked wondering if it was a bit to obscure. In the meantime Anais shook her head gently, "I am still taking a dare," she murmured. "But for the record laps are comfortable places whether they are for pillows or for sitting," she said as she took her first drink, and allowed her cup to refill so that she could take the drink associated with her dare.

In the meantime, Martha's vow of silence ended as she pointed out the strangeness of this world on both her understanding and her apparent sexual desires. Even so, she wouldn't really stop what she was doing, even with Astolfo contributing she wouldn't really be changing her antics. Astolfo's curiosity was one she could answer, and she would... but only after she finished around his shaft once again. The squeeze and coming flood of fluids was something which she appreciated. She'd even done so with him rubbed against the farthest wall of her womb, adding to the sensation of it. "Ah...ah....haaa.... made it so odd. This is a lot more than I remember this sort of thing being. It's not just a matter of it being a long time ago either, it's just... a lot, you know?" she asked not knowing if it made sense. Still if they were doing what felt right she supposed she'd carry on without worrying too much about what she was doing and enjoy the current situation for what it was.

[Bloodedge]

Even if Anais had no understanding of current events, an agreement was being made. Her desire spread into the ether and was agreed upon by an outside entity. She wanted a ring for 'riding that dick' according to the more sultry persona in her mind, did she? Well, she'd be getting one... one day. Today, she'd be dealing with something else due to Sakura's pointed dares.

Charlemagne and Ailen hadn't become friends of any sort yet, but today... they were becoming brothers. Just as brothers-in-arms were formed on the battlefield, they were subconsciously becoming brothers-in-erection. Each had a woman in their laps, and each suffered the immediate elation of soft curves against the groin. Each of them also had a thousand accompanying thoughts as a result. Sakura got this from a dream about her sister? That was strange, but her sister was surely some sort of evil mastermind. Charlemagne didn't want to meet her; he was in enough trouble already. Her accompanying confession reminded Charlemagne of his own mistakes as well. "Oh, right. I haven't drank anything," he said before downing another cup. In actuality, he'd skipped a few drinks by now, and he still wasn't taking the additional penalty for accepting a dare. It may have all slipped his mind.

Yume wondered if her random factoid counted as a confession. "I'd accept it," said Yuuya. For Charlemagne, however... "My foot! No way am I counting that," he argued. Moving on, Anais decided to take a dare. Charlemagne had just the dare for her, a challenge given through a devious grin. "You, Annie... I dare you to tell one person something you wouldn't even think of telling the rest of the group right now. Anyone, anything, I don't care. They just have to confirm that it's valid, or you're drinking again missy!"

Astolfo was soon to need a drink as well. As old as she was in this world, Martha was obviously inexperienced. Inexperienced as she was, however, she was quite the natural learner. Even while she panted her way into an answer, her hips rose and fell as if she'd taken a dozen or more divine tools to the womb before now. Astolfo appreciated the development ─ especially while being on the receiving end of it. Ah, but what of her claim? "Hmm... 'Astolfo, you're so much bigger than I expected! It's making me crazy, but I can't stop! Keep giving it to me!' That's what I heard. Does that sound right?" he asked, completely twisting her every word while still believing it was consistent with her intended message.

[Apollymi]

An agreement was made, even if Anais didn't understand it. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first time she made an agreement she wasn't fully ready to comprehend. She was still learning how to deal with everything concerning her desires in this magical world, so... she'd give herself a bit of slack as she experienced her grace period. Regardless, she would be actively enjoying her grace period with her mentor, way more readily than she could even imagine in her currently inebriated state. 'I don't think I am that pushy, but trying something like that does seem a bit more age appropriate...' Anais confirmed with her darker self. 'And on this day a new wish is born!~' Sinais was always in such good spirits, who was Anais to stop her from feeling her happiness?

The answer, no one. She wouldn't be getting in her own way, except in matters of safety. And now... there was something to properly distract her. She knew what she was feeling against the soft curve of her bottom. And she hadn't forgotten the words her mentor had given her at the start of this journey when she'd expressed an interesting in learning to grow musical instruments. That little wiggle that had her settle into her place became a gentle bit of fidgeting and leg bouncing. It would be punctuated occasionally by just a tiny pulse of mana from her unoccupied finger tips into the thigh of her mentor. All the while the revelation about where this idea came from in the mind of Sakura was something heard by both girls of that time. "Not really surprising," they both said of Ashikaga Kimiko. Even without knowing her directly knowing of the girl and that unnerving smile of hers made it obvious that she would have tortured some man or boy with these kinds of antics, if she felt inclined.

Beyond this point, Yuuya would have accepted the confession of Yume, but apparently Charles would not. "Well, nice to know us Yu people are still sticking together," she mused seeming to have taken at least a cursory liking to the lad known as Yuuya. "I confess, I am definitely the reason at least three other people are being transported to this world," she admitted without any context. As for Anais, she was dared to admit something to someone, anyone that she wouldn't tell the group, under the threat of a third drink. "Hai," Anais murmured. She gave a bit of thought to what she would be saying and then turned her eyes back to Ailen and motioned him down with a single finger. What she had to say would be quietly whispered to him while she blocked her own mouth from outside viewing, "Shishou, I really can't wait for us to land and get out of here, because I think you should strum me like that harp before you give me my lesson on how to make them~" she finished that speech then backed away from his face looking up at him with blushed innocence but having made a pretty suggestive comment about her very near future lessons and her current state of existence as a drunken person. She was occupying his lap and though quite drunk she wondered if such an admission counted. "Do you think that one works for the dare, Shishou?" she asked. A scoff came from Yume as she'd heard the thought crossing the girl's mind and she thought it did, 'So innocent and yet so dirty. Ai-aniki is going to have a really long day ahead of him~' she thought absently, though she was quite happy for her friend who was drinking her 'dare' based drink while awaiting confirmation.

Meanwhile, Martha was being treated to the warped logic that plagued the mind of Astolfo. The lad took the words she'd offered him, and... reordered them in such a way as to give them new meaning. Well, that wasn't entirely true, she supposed the words he'd chosen did make sense, but they weren't what she would have said to him. "I didn't say those words, but if you want to interpret them that way... I won't stop you," she claimed as her hips continued that steady paced ride even as she'd already finished around the lad once. "Oh actually, don't stop or anything, I don't think I'm quite done yet~" she mentioned. Ah... maybe she grew into talkative? Or was it more like she understood flirting at least even if it wasn't necessarily her forte. Or maybe there was jsut a lot about this that worked for her, but also didn't... it seemed fine.

[Bloodedge]

As a new wish was born, so too was a new arrangement. Anais would have her dreams reach fruition, or perhaps... the wheel of fate had long since begun turning in that direction regardless. Time was such a fickle thing that many wishes were granted without paying heed to it, lest they be lost within the branches. Of course, everything had its price. For gaining what she desired, Anais would find herself having to pay the price ─ the same price she and her other self had so recently decided upon. Before any of that came about, Anais was grabbing more of Ailen's attention than she already had. A bit of fidgeting was to be expected from the lass, but her hand sending mana into his leg was a bit cheekier than normal. Intoxication was an interesting thing. Perhaps it was her intention to arouse him?

It seemed the answer was yes. When dared to share secretive information with someone, Anais beckoned her mentor. Ailen leaned toward her mouth, all to hear about how she was waiting for their landing to... be strummed like a harp? There was a slight elevation to Ailen's eyelids upon hearing that confession. Moreover, the expression on Anais's face afterwards belied her usual innocence, which contradicted her deviance in the most tantalizing manner. Was her confession viable for the dare? The burden of proof lay with Ailen. Sadly, so did the effects of Anais's behavior and words. "Frankly, I find it difficult to say," he claimed. She had caused his stiffness to occur more rapidly, and such would be subjected to his deviance. "In accordance with the rules, I believe it is on the right track. However, I would say some key information is missing for it to truly count. As that seems unintentional, I would offer a second chance to fill in the blanks."

While Anais and her mentor were being a pair of horny teenagers, Charlemagne was tilting his cup toward Yume to acknowledge her confession. "Not gonna lie; that's awesome! When you get to the good stuff in this world, I wouldn't trade it for anything! Those other three should have a good time," he said. Yuuya seemed rather interested in that information. For the longest time, he had only known the forest they were now quickly approaching. In said forest, only danger existed... but danger couldn't be everywhere. Perhaps this journey could lead him to a safe place for that door he was picking up. "Annie, get it together! I'm half ready to call another penalty, but I'll let it pass if he will!"

Astolfo's logic was certainly flawless. Martha may never have spoken the sentences he 'quoted' her for, but the meaning had not been missed. What he said could instead be considered the more pleasant variant. Martha claiming she wouldn't stop his belief, was only confirmation of his accuracy. "So yes? I think my version hits the ear way better~♥" he stated. Whatever the case, Martha did agree that they should continue. That island was getting dangerously close, so there wasn't much by way of time. Astolfo didn't care, though. She spoke those words, having already experienced orgasm in this encounter. That did bode well for overall satisfaction. "That's the spirit! No point stopping until everybody's good to go! Trust in Astolfo to get you off as many times as you need!♥" Giddy as a schoolgirl, Astolfo felt the time was perfect. He'd offer an indirect greeting to the encroaching island with bucking hips, thrusting up against Martha's undercarriage to add some refreshing aggression to their meeting ─ perhaps primarily for his own reasons.

The arrangements of the future were being set. Without even the knowledge that things could work in such a way, Anais was building herself a very interesting future. This of course applied to both the far-flung and the close at hand. As she found herself flirting rather suggestively with her mentor and found him, just as receptive as he always was. She might have been the sort to question it, but as one who'd been told that she could do as she pleased, she seemed to have run wild with the idea quite a bit. Oddly enough, she wasn't the only one being influenced, her mentor seemed to have picked up a bit of her deviance and while she drank her cup, mentioned that he wasn't sure if she'd said something which fit the confines of the dare. He was challenging her a bit and in the same way, exposing her to the deviousness that she'd so casually implanted in him. The elafia wouldn't and couldn't be properly upset about this, in fact, she quite liked her mentor acting a bit shamelessly. She enjoyed the idea that he might be taking advantage of the situation for his own ends because it made her feel better about her own actions, besides that it was quite alluring in its own way. 'Hoh? Shishou's flirting with us~' Sinais seemed to be as taken with the idea as Anais was. Her blushed face wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon of course. Moreover that erection he'd been working up to, became more obvious even to Anais, she playfully went about speaking again, "Hai, Shishou, I wouldn't want to be missing anything~" she mused initially. Once she had the proper positioning again, she'd whisper more of what she wanted out of this afternoon to her mentor. Obviously, just for the sake of the dare, "You know Shishou, we could find a nice quiet spot to explore. I could stay in your lap like this... and you'd have the freedom of your hands to strum along with the rhythm I choose for my ride. I'm pretty sure it'd be a nice duet and you can teach me the deeper meanings of the song~" the lass flirted. So innocent was the metaphor but the drunken version of Anais was sure that her lack of directness would still accurate communicate her meaning. Her choice in musical metaphor was appropriate to the kind of person she currently was. It was something she definitely wouldn't have whispered to anyone else, well... there was the always listening Yume but that was quite different.

Speaking of Yume she had her confession acknowledged as awesome. According to Charles when the world wasn't being bad, it was a great place to be. "I think it'll be pretty good for us, besides... everythings better with friends you connect with and can trust~" Yume mused. Good or bad, she definitely wanted her closest friends in this place with her. Even now, the speech of Anais was something she was quite interested in... she wondered if the girl knew she was flirting so effectively. That her words had multiple implications to anyone with any idea of what she might have been talking about. Ah,l but what was this, Charles was griping at Anais soon after she finished speaking again, he was claiming that he would give her another penalty, "Usuh...." Anais was drunk enough that her outburst was inverted. "When's the last time you penaltied?" she asked the lad seeming not to remember him taking a drink for a couple of his dares. Whether her mentor agreed or not the girl could continue drinking but she still knew what it was she was after for the evening. All the while with little movements Sakura could feel the growing desire in this space. She was not always certain of emotions, but this was something she fully understood, she was even feeling the growing firmness of Charles against her. If nothing else she was quite certain alcohol was something marvelous for removing human inhibitions. As such... she'd put her mind to work. Anais was almsot openly flirting with Ailen right now, perhaps drinking was something humans used for this purpose? "He's missed a few of his dare drinks. of this I am certain," Sakura asserted in the interest of impartiality.

Meanwhile, Astolfo was busy being ridden and claiming the superiority of his version of a sentence spoken by Martha. For her involvement in it, Martha had little to say... "Eh, they are your ears..." she murmured. Ah, even as her hips continued to move she couldn't really claim not to like what was happening here. Regardless it seemed that there had been no missteps on Martha's part. Astolfo continued to express satisfaction about the future of this endeavor. He claimed he'd be a trustworthy source of orgasm and oddly enough Martha agreed. "hai hai, I can agree to that much at least~" she claimed as his upward thrusting was something which had her continuing her ride with a few bumps along the way. It was quite different for adding aggression but she could adjust fairly easily, much like riding an actual beast, it was all about reaction and she had the ability to do that with relative ease.

A small amount of prodding granted Ailen another learning opportunity this day. Somewhere within Anais, there was a monster. It had no place in this world or the body of a small-statured elafia, as its power of seduction was even more dangerous than anticipated within that shell. It was... unprecedented, even. She'd chosen words that were not vulgar, but still painted a picture of vulgar acts that showed vividly in the elf's mind. He wasn't sure what to expect before. Even so, he still got something he wanted out of that second whispered thought, and everything was understood wholly. By now, he was outright throbbing beneath the girl and hoping the carriage found reason to stop soon as well. "Ah, I see. Intriguing," he said. Surely he meant titillating, but secrecy was already being kept, so he would not break it. "I suppose I should confess something, though I am a foreign entity to this game. It crosses my mind to dig deeper still. Though I find myself wanting to see what else is within that, it is only right to refrain. It works," he admitted. Strangely enough, that little speech was the most difficult decision of Ailen's life in a very, very long time. Colonization was a powerful thing.

Charlemagne and Yume were coming to terms in odd ways. Both believed things would be made better with the right comrades. In hearing those words from the lass, Charlemagne raised his cup in mock toast. "Hear, hear!" he chanted. There would be no drink taken by Charlemagne after, however... except there would be. After threatening to penalize Anais, Charlemagne was met by shushing of the weirdest variety. "You usuh!" he copied. Sadly, it was his fate to be called out. When was the last time he took a penalty drink? Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut, as he was quite sure there were a few skipped. According to Sakura, it was a few. Baffled, concerned and betrayed, Charlemagne had one thing to say. "Et tu, Saku?!" he griped. Oh well; this game was his idea. Since he'd been caught either forgetting or ignoring, he had to pay the price. "Fine, fine. Three dares, three drinks. Somebody hit me with 'em, and I'm pouring a mega pint of this grail wine!"

While a drunken Charlemagne was opening himself up to a trifecta of dares, Astolfo was working on opening up Martha in a different way. They were his ears, she claimed as reason for his perception. "Mm! But a lot of ears take that stuff better!" he replied. Astolfo had a certain understanding that a millennia-old elf was just beginning to reach within the cab. Certain things, said certain ways, had varying effects on mind, body and soul. Did Martha have a grasp on that yet? She would. Her nipples were left alone briefly, caught between his fore and middle fingers only after he grabbed her breasts to squeeze them firmly. Doing so had Astolfo settling his arms against Martha's sides, aiming to bring her down while thrusting up into her. Done properly, he'd be able to speak into her ear again. "Martha, Martha! You're so wet and squeezing me to death, it makes me want to mess you up until I pass out from exhaustion," he said at a near-whisper. Why? Well, it was the truth, but it was just as much only an example of his earlier meaning. Where would the remaining journey go from there? He was keen to find out.

[Apollymi]

Anais had probably shocked her mentor. At the very least, she'd answered his question in a way which had visibly surprised him. She hadn't known what it would be like to flirt successfully, but apparently being drunk was a fair way to find her voice. It would seem, she'd even convinced the elf in question to agree that she'd confessed something great enough to count for her dare. "Shishou~" the girl seemed almost moved to tears, that blushing face of hers only seemed to gain intensity. He wanted to prod for more, but would let her have her win. Did that mean it was effective? 'Am I good at this?' she asked of herself. 'We're fucking great at this! Remember to reward our Shishou for choosing right this time~' said Sinais. Ah, right, they'd punished him for choosing wrong, so rewarding him for choosing right was the only sensible thing to do, right? "Shishou, I wouldn't mind sharing a bit more if you're really interested. It'd only be a just reward since you also confessed~" she flirted gently, with just a hint of deviousness playing across her eyes. Of course, in doing this she was having quite a good time, feeling that throbbing under her curves and envisioning with that hyper-active imagination, just how easy it could be to... do exactly what she'd mentioned. 'Why are you so fucking extreme?!' Yume questioned the girl directly and she had the grace to look embarrassed and shrug not so casually from her perch atop her mentor's lap.

Of course, this would do nothing for Charles. He'd been caught on his lack of drinks and every person playing the game, bar Yuuya. it would seem even his partner was aware of his apparent lack of drinking enough that she commented on it. His answer was to drink, directly from his grail, about triple the amount of every other drink and to take three dares. But while all of this was being stated there was something else, he'd mentioned Sakura's name in a rather meme like fashion, moreover, he'd shortened it. Sakura's eyes widened just a bit and seemed to gain some depth of light to them. She felt something like a thump in her chest and maybe one deeper than that. Without her soul active she couldn't truly tell what it was, but she was quite certain it was pleasant. "Oh? Is that what that looks like from the outside?" asked Yume, and it would be Anais who confirmed even while snuggling up to continue speaking in hushed tones with her mentor. "That is exactly what that looks like from the outside... I didn't think i'd see such an expression on anyone else," Anais mentioned. "Oh? Mi-chan did someone say your name and surprise you with it? Was it Mon-sama?" she asked the girl. "Yes, and we aren't talking about it right now," Anais mentioned with her nose turned up. Still there was the matter of Charles other choices. "First you've now decided your form of address for her, whether you fully realize it already or not. Second, I mean I get not having much else to say without outing yourself completely but are you sure you want three dares?" Anais offered. He could confess and she'd accept it. "Iia, Mi-chan... let the man be brave... I've gone one that will help," Yume mentioned as if she wasn't a demon. "Go ahead, and tell Saku-chan something secret and given the way she is... I'm sure she'll let us know if it doesn't count. Consider that a dare from your friendly party demon~" Yume offered with a smile on her face. Ah, that kind of dare was right up her alley and would help both of the people she was looking at right now, handling a situation that hadn't yet become a problem. This was her nature as a person.

In the meantime, Martha was being given a different sort of lesson. The words apparently being shared between them had purpose and meaning and this lesson included how they were received. She hadn't thought of anything like this before, she had no reason to... sex hadn't ever been so engaging before this very moment. Ah and more engaging it would become as her nipples were finally freed and the small bodied Astolfo proved part of his strength. He thrusted into the bigger woman and settled in by her ear. He shared some words with her while her body adjusted to the added force were rather startling. Her eyes widened at that whispered confession and her insides seemed to squeeze even tighter. It was odd for her to think he was actually so interested in sex with her... though she found his words to be vulgar but also somehow very flattering. "That's a really embarrassing thing to hear... I don't hate that sort of honesty though," she replied honestly. In truth her body was much better at reacting than she was at offering words in moments like these. "It doesn't sound like too bad an idea, we'll be landing pretty soon, after all..." she said aloud. But she had another thought, 'Maybe if you're exhausted and beaten up... we can actually get to our next destination without you being ridiculous on the way...' she thought finding it to be acceptable.

[Bloodedge]

Still having naught to do with the game at hand, Ailen found a confession quite fitting at the time. Anais's initial reaction was something he'd come to expect, but the remainder was a bit of a shock. She wasn't the only one suffering an overactive imagination. By the sound of her words, it seemed the elafia even intended to humor his curiosity as... remuneration for the honest confession. "Oh? Well, I could hardly call myself a scholar if I did anything but accept. All knowledge has its purpose, and I'm sure anything I hear from you will be of great benefit down the line," he declared. If nothing else, the other two males in the room were none the wiser to their conversation's true meaning. It all seemed like innocent dribble between student and teacher ─ perhaps with the former being something of a teacher's pet. How little they knew.

Beyond that, it seemed Charlemagne hit some sort of nerve with his random outburst. Addressing Sakura prompted a reaction he didn't think existed anywhere in the lass. Moreover, he wasn't the only one who took note of it. According to Anais, the way he addressed Sakura had been determined in that moment. He hadn't even thought about what he was saying before it fell from his mouth, but... he also didn't think Sakura even knew how to emote. "Huh? I... don't even know what just happened," he muttered. As for the number of dares he was taking, Charlemagne would not back down. Three was the number decided, so three would be the number he took. Yume was quick to produce one... albeit a terrible one. He sighed immediately. Without a doubt, she was always going to be the one with an effective dare. At least he had about a thousand secrets that could be shared with Sakura, and a much easier time telling them than he would have had sober. Only moments after receiving the dare, a hand was cupped around Sakura's ear while his lips closed in to whisper. "Alright, uh... remember that whole under-the-table thing earlier? Does it count if I admit to wishing there was a table with you under it while that whole thing was being talked about? Because that kind of stuff has been living rent-free in my head this whole ride, and I could really use a fix of some sort─"

Martha was learning the tricks of the trade quickly. No matter what she had to say, the saint couldn't escape the reaction he felt from her body. That added grip didn't come from his movement alone ─ it was far too delayed for that. No, she heard his proclamation and found it arousing, surely. Embarrassing? Perhaps it was. Even embarrassed though, Martha remained honest in admitting her acceptance. "Waha! See what I mean? Just imagine what'll happen to a guy if he hears that sort of thing from a saint. You could see something out of this world just by throwing the right words together~" he goaded. Astolfo wasn't sure if his urging would have positive results, but the true victory was Martha agreeing to his idea. Soon, they would land. Fooling around on a sky carriage was exciting for a start, but that forest below had many more opportunities. He could finally go wild! "Oooh, we're landing? Got any ideas?" he wondered. In the mind of Astolfo, all changes opened new paths. As he saw things, Martha surely had some sort of thought related to a post-landing location/position change.

[Apollymi]

The pair of teacher and student seemed to be quite into their discussion. Though nothing was said which could have indicated anything was amiss, the things they were actually discussing in context were much more devious than they'd let on. "Hai hai, sharing information is a great foundation for a scholar~" she teased. Just the same, that little image she had of herself occupying his lap in the forest seemed to grow with ever throb beneath her rear. Drinking had not helped her control her inhibitions. If nothing else, her imagination seemed to run wild immediately and the fever pitch of her body would be following soon after. She'd continue whispering to her mentor, "Shishou..." she whispered. "That duet in the forest sounds more appealing by the second. I figure I'll end up singing along while you play~ I can almost feel it now... it's really distracting you know~" the lass questioned in a teasing way. Why she was still admitting these things in soft whispers to her mentor she didn't know, but somehow it was made better by doing so. At the same time Yume couldn't help but wonder how her friend made such innocuous words sound so dirty. No wonder she couldn't read a novel without blushing, how many metaphors did she take from common language. 'And here I thought Ai and i were the words people~' she teased the other girl just a bit.

Allt he while, Charles was acing on his dare and the ears of Sakura were graced by an admittance. Apparently Charles had given consideration to being drunk under the table in the way that Sakura had interpreted it. Oh? Her left brow rose in the most teasing manner yet. She didn't often think this lad would be the kind to admit such things, but something about it made her wish to act. Ah, but that desire for a table wasn't his alone either... she'd have to keep that in mind. Still... she was feeling something interesting. She would have called it the call of creation, but her soul was inactive so why was she aroused? Still... she knew that heat between her thighs was something she understood from a physical standpoint though nothing physical or spiritual had caused it. But nothing could stop that wicked smile spreading across her face. "I am sure that works," she said though when she turned to look at Charles her face bore that slightly unnerving smile she seemed to have whenever she was feeling particularly predatory. "Oi, you didn't have to tell us... I could tell by the look on your face~" Yume chimed. "Oh and it means you're calling her Saku from now on, I got a bit lost in the sauce for a second there~" she added. Anais paused her teasing of her mentor for a single moment to think of a dare for Charles and with her mind already working on a specific wavelength. "I dare you to sing the most recognizable lyric from your favorite song..." she offered. Her own musical choice not withstanding it was always one of her favorite dares, mostly because musical tastes varied greatly.

Moving on from that, Martha was sure that landing would be happening soon. The island they approached was one she'd visited before and happened to house a rather dense forest full of high level creatures. But for the day near the edges, that place could be rather quiet and calming. The words that had been spoken by Astolfo she didn't have much to say. "Still don't think I'd say something like that..." Martha claimed. It wasn't that she didn't understand the appeal, it was simply that she didn't current feel the necessity or desire to share such words. But the information could potentially be useful. As for her current desires and those of the near future. "I might have a few it mostly depends on where we land... I could think of a few places to cross off a potential bucket list... now that we've done the flying related one~" she stated. Well, at the very least they had to be open to a few positional changes since helping Astolfo finish currently involved methods that wouldn't end in her impregnation, even if she currently liked how deeply the man was planted within her womb right now and the thought of him releasing himself within left her clenching and throbbing with the desire for his release. Weird, she'd never had such an ideation before... was it the lack of condom or was it something else?
