Kazuhiko kept biting into that burning pork bun like it was nothing. Though he enjoyed it quite thoroughly, his appreciation of it could never rival Kei's. Silently did he consume while they waited for the bus. He never stopped watching Kei; it was somehow too tantalizing to see someone enjoy something so thoroughly, so genuinely. With only a few words here and there, the tsundere trait reared its head once more. The choice of a second set was... a favorable turn of events and good forward thinking? That translated to a form of gratitude, he believed. Now was the time partial jokes would become Kazu's approach to such statements. "Awesome! Is there a reward points system? When do I cash in and for what?" he asked, laughing before tossing that final chunk into his mouth.

There was a long silence from Miko following Soma's latest assertion. During it, she was accessing her phone presumably for the sole purpose of ordering that pizza she'd mentioned. Never did Soma think their exchange was over, especially after the van stopped moving. He claimed the keys from Ai and waited. While others were ushered out of the van, Miko was delivering her response to an indifferent target. Her restraint was allegedly forced. That changed nothing about Soma's viewpoint, but he wasn't actually concerned with the details either; he'd already formed enough of an opinion on this one in that regard. Whatever the case, she was offering to... apparently take responsibility as an egg to be scrambled. Soma's annoyance wasn't to be taken into account; it was just about his resting state at this point. "Do you also talk that much during the act?" he wondered. Regardless, he had only one additional thing to say: something that was both an answer and a casual command. "Strip."

"It probably always will be," Ajax said about the answer to that ancient question. As for Nuren, it seemed she had taken more of a trip than he initially thought. He'd have to remember to ask about the extra one for curiosity's sake. Maybe there was even a splinter of that reality he'd take interest in? Whatever the case, his explanation of 'head' and its definition were taken by Kama with something resembling displeasure. Everyone had their preferred way of addressing the topic. "Well what's your preferred way to think about it? You can just pick one and keep it," he said about the phrasing. Ah, and it seemed she'd already reached a certain decision that would be carried with her into the future. An act of service would be treated as a form of gratitude. With that, Kama immediately verbalized her thanks and then... opened her mouth immediately. Ajax smirked. "See that? That's what I'm talking about. Head fixes everything," he said most casually as his pants faded into the breeze, exposing a ready-to-go erection Kama hadn't even been separated from for very long. Nuren spoke up about her reinvigorated ride and settling the seed planted in Hiruko. "Weren't you going to do that anyway?" Ajax asked cheekily. Even Hiruko, half-conscious as he was, had something to say about that. "Hnn... didn't I already die twice today? Not big on giving a guy a break, are you?" he asked, laughing weakly.

Kazuhiko devoured his first meat bun, all the while, Kei enjoyed hers with the true admiration. It was quite the delicious morsel and she was quite happy that at the end of it there would be more for her to have. Though she was quite bad at expressing that sort of gratitude, it would appear that Kazuihiko was better at interpreting her words than any outside of her direct friend group so far. His joking reactions set her at ease, and made her feel less awkward about talking... which in turn meant she could keep talking to Kazuhiko. "I hadn't thought about it. I points gained should lead to rewards though, and as you are the only one on this points system... I'll work on it. but you don't get to know what the rewards are," she claimed. It sounded non-committal but the truth was, she simply would be too embarrassed to say it before a moment of reward struck. This way she could use it as a surprise and reward the lad for his thoughtful behavior instead of just being completely standoffish.

Miko expected that the mind of Soma was always working. Whatever he had going on in there, wasn't directly her concern... making sure she was reasonably responsible about her activities while she needed to be was most of her concern. Every girl was filing out of the van, in search of food and with bags of items to go through by virtue of the shopping trip today.. To his question of her speech, "I actually don't talk that much in general. Though during the act I am known to... sing," she explained. There was odd emphasis on the word sing, but she was sure that part would make sense in the moment. But would be Soma's actual response? A gentle command for her to strip, well she'd take that the way she wanted to, while keeping her multitiered male advice in mind. 'Show her ass and bounce it. Give head.' two different people had given her advice that she fully intended to use. Meanwhile, it would be Kaguya at the end of everything closing the door on her best friend and her son to give them the necessary privacy for their afternoon. And so it would be, Miko standing in the back of that van, and turned around to put down ehr phone. The music in her head was always playing so she began dancing and removing her clothes. Off slipped her jacket as she bent over untie and step out of her shoes, her ass would be bouncing the entire time. All the while, she was moving to the beat of music no one else could hear, but it didn't matter. The show would go on.

Apparently, it would always be a question of which came first. The proverbial question which floated around the universe could just as easily be about the sexual activity of this pair. Whatever the case, both knew that they often treated themselves callously and created the circumstances that had them pinned beneath their more advanced counterparts until they caught up, and eventually surpassed them. As for the words preferred by Kama or base Sakura to refer to acts of service, "I am not sure, I tend to say whatever gets my point across. Though, I don't think I am overly fond of the words, I do like the gesture though~" she claimed. Well, sometimes she enjoyed the matter of subtlety a bit more than she would have normally expressed for a blunt person. Head fixes everything, "We do believe that... and I am not one to get in your way," Nuren claimed. At the same time, Kama was facing an erect cock which was ready for her open mouth, which she closed for just long enough to peck the tip of his cock with a kiss before caressing the head of it with her tongue and inviting it ever deeper into her mouth. Still she was already moving back from Hiruko's mouth with that table being casually reinforced by shadows so that she could easily begin mounting him again. To Ajax's question she grinned not even managing to look coy, "Abso-fucking-lutely♥~" she expressed of her desire to go one more round. His words, while he was in and out of things were rather amusing but still she held that leash pulling just a little. "Only twice? That means you're fine. You can take it, besides the only break I can give you... is breaking you♥~ Now be good and stay conscious this time, Awanari♥~" Nuren mentioned. As she slid back into position, sliding him deep into her core and then leaning back a bit and using that table and his collar as leverage to slam her hips into his with her knees up and her feet supported on the table's edge.

[Bloodedge]

An imaginary points system seemed right up the white-haired girl's alley after a mock suggestion by Kazuhiko. He knew her demeanor would be something akin to walking on eggshells, but he also came equipped with centuries of similar experiences. A safe outlet was the best choice here. With her agreement to work on such a system, there was also a refusal to tell him what the rewards were. Well, he expected as much. Her type was never forthright about their intentions without reaching a boiling point, and what Kazu saw of Kei's boiling point thus far said he didn't really want to reach it. As the bus parked ahead of them to open for boarding, Kazu nodded. "No problem! It'll be like the rare card at the end of a pack. Always a mystery, always something awesome!" he declared. With that, they'd be cleared to board the bus and make way for the festival.

Despite what he'd been hearing from her all day, Miko claimed she wasn't much of a talker. Soma didn't see a lot of surprising things... but that counted as something nigh unbelievable. The singing, however, he believed; he'd heard it. "I've noticed. That still classifies as talking. Either way, I'll take your feedback. I need to run a test," he said. Just then however, his order to strip was taken with some extra liberties. Silently did Miko obey, albeit with the addition of dancing to the removal of articles starting with her jacket. Even the act of untying her shoes was accompanied by bouncing buttocks. It was definitely worth a watch, but an unexpected development. 'More specific. Noted,' he thought. "Is there no difference in your head between 'strip' and striptease?" he then wondered aloud.

Kama, or even Sakura, did like using her gestures as stated by the girl herself. He fancied her use of them as well, much like... probably anyone else who saw them. "Fair enough. You keep doing whatever feels natural to you; it's the best," he advised. While Kama was planting that initial peck on the tip of his cock, Ajax shifted his gaze toward Nuren just briefly, never one to miss the best part of a show. "Uh-huh. You mean you're not one to stop your own thing~" he said, opting to argue semantics for a moment. With that, Ajax's gaze was set on Kama again. The part he'd been waiting for was in view: the glorious moment of her lips parting and stretching around his girth. All the while, Hiruko's mouth was opening as well... though for a very different purpose. Indeed, his gaping maw was due to the return of great pressure around his cock. A break? Well, if that was his fate... "Huah! No promises!" he exclaimed. Retained consciousness may or may not have been in the cards for Daikichi Hiruko. He knew one thing, though. If nothing else, he wasn't just going to let himself black out with the view he currently had. Nuren's body was in the realm of Sakura's, yet somehow superior for reasons he couldn't even comprehend. He had to take in every inch, every curve as she moved in his lap ─ even if he didn't know which would take him first between that crushing pressure, or the choking of the leash. "Hn─! What's in it for staying alive then, huh?" the blonde asked while Ajax began materializing a magical marble between his fingers, continuing his information dump for Kama. "By the way, I've got something for you... well, a few 'somethings' actually. Two things for you, and one thing you'll want to give someone else at least. Any particular interests past that?"

[Apollymi]

Kei and Kazuhiko found themselves getting on a bus. There was at least one bun for each of them and Kei was happy. The truth of her happiness, was that he was quite understanding and was rolling with her oddities without being overbearing about it. His acceptance of her random reward system was taken with as much excitement as he'd had when discussing all forms of card games the previous day. Actually, aside from a few moments of killer instinct, he'd been nothing but smiles and easy-going nature. Kei understood how and why her other friends had come to like him, she was doing the same... even though she couldn't yet express herself properly. "Hm, good. You'll go far, as long as you keep that sort of attitude," she claimed as she scooted into a seat and stared out of the window. "You're really just always this excited, huh?" she asked as if it was odd. Maybe it wasn't, maybe she was just odd given her other world experience and her less than stable home life? She had to find out. And well, beyond that a bit of small talk was pretty normal for a bus ride.

Meanwhile, Miko was stripping out of her clothes in rhythm while having a somewhat casual conversation with Soma in the back of his recently acquired van. As her bottom bounced and she untied and stepped out of her shoes, she'd land barefoot on the balls of her feet as she always would. He watched while she danced and removed articles of her clothing, it seemed he didn't believe she wasn't very talkative but thought that her singing was the truth. He counted them the same and was apparently seeking feedback. "If the singing counts as talking I do it a lot... if you'd like the feedback though... I'll gladly help♫~" Miko chirped. As she continued to dance her top would be the next thing slipped over her head with a smooth motion. Her fingers found the zipper of her shorts and would be undoing them while she lowered herself with spread legs, still facing away from the lad while bouncing her bottom. She remained balanced ont he tips of her toes, while replying. "No, there isn't a difference, not to me♪~. If I am going to be taking my clothes off and you're going to be watching me anyway, it might as well be interesting to watch..." she explained of herself. Well, if it was going to be a show, she might as well properly show... that was the advice she'd been given so she'd keep it. On her last bounce she rose and bent over, she'd reveal her cheeks as she worked her shorts down her legs, but the thong underwear she wore would decorate and match the back of that bra she revealed previously. Her bottom still actively bouncing she'd step out of her shorts and then turn, still bouncing to that unknown song while, popping open her bra and releasing a more massive bosom with a bounce while dropping her bra. The only article she had left was the thong and she'd eventually be turning to removed that as well, bending over at the waist and sliding that little string out of her rear and folds, and down her legs to step out of it too. Thus one would have a naked Miko, ready to face Soma properly.

At the same time, Kama was being told to continue doing what felt most natural to her, she planned to do that anyway, but somehow she really enjoyed the encouragement offered by this man. She'd bring up one such gesture she quite enjoyed after learning it's meaning specifically. Her left hand rose and she gave him a thumbs up, such was her nature as she allowed her tongue to continue it's actions along his shaft. Meanwhile, Nuren as she was being called, was being called out... for not wanting to stop her own thing, as Ajax put it. "Oya? We're two of a kind, you can't really go outing me like that~" she claimed with amusement. At the same time the increased pacing of her current ride on Hiruko gained her a call of no promises. She slowed her hips a bit, allowing that crushing weight to squeeze as she leaned into the man smiling at him. "It's good you won't make me promises. I'd have to call and you're not ready for that yet~" she teased in a manner most menacing. While she continued this ride, she too began making something, that blue die she'd rolled began spinning on its onw spiraling and compressing into a proper round shape as she looked down at Hiruko. What would he get for staying alive... "Ara? That's so greedy of you... careful Awanari♥~ If you start wanting to take too much from me I'll have to take more and all you've got left to bet with is your life. And I already have one of those by now♥~" she flirted cryptically. "That being said I do have something for you... I'll throw in a few extra functions and give you a good show if you stay awake, how about that?" Nuren asked, as she leaned back and began posing while pulling on that leash. At the same time, Kama was being told of presents being provided to her as well. She'd be pulling away from his cock after ejecting it from her mouth kisisng it repeatedly. "I don't have a lot of request. That is a very magical thing you're holding though... so an explanation would be good," she offered pleasantly before going back to what she was doing. She she had no problem keeping up with what was being say by Nuren either.

[Bloodedge]

Into the bus they went, with Kei taking the first seat once they were aboard. Kazuhiko took the inner seat right beside her, not sparing much distance but leaving a fair amount of breathing room. He was actually quite interested in going far in the 'points system' they were discussing, regardless of what the rewards were. "Guess I'm going far then. My attitude isn't changing anytime soon!" he announced. As for his apparent perpetual excitement, there was a simple correction to make. "Well... no? Whenever I can be, yeah. There's just a lot to be excited about now, you know? I've been thinking I did something to make you hate me since yesterday, so this is a huge turnaround! It's awesome!" he exclaimed as the bus began its trip.

According to Miko, she was glad to help with the feedback Soma required. She claimed as much while performing a frankly unnecessary series of bouncing movements with her ass, and Soma found it... certainly worth watching. Ambitious though he was, even he was still a man with a functional libido; there was no turning his nose up to those movements. He even tilted his head for a different angle when Miko lowered herself and kept the bounces going, mostly topless and all. What of the decision to make a dance of it though? She made a decent point of ensuring she made an interesting show of it. "It's completely unnecessary, but I'll give you credit for knowing how to get what you want. There's nothing else you're going to get with moves like that, besides... what was it? Scrambling?" he mused as Miko's thong slipped down to mark the final piece of fabric adorning her body. "One more thing," he interjected. Before Miko turned to face him again, Soma had one more thing to test. The way she'd taken his earlier order was worth some deep contemplation, so he thought to test her complacency without delivering any magical instruction. "Finger your own ass," he demanded with only his natural voice.

All the while, Hiruko was being warned against making promises he couldn't keep to Nuren. Even he could sense the truth of those words and the repercussions that could come, but surely she knew. Once she mentioned him only having his life to bet with, the thought immediately crossed Hiruko's mind. Betting his life was nothing... and indeed, she knew. Apparently, she already had one of his lives. Whatever that meant, he didn't know, but he did grasp the lack of value his life had in this situation. "Not leaving me any chips for a visitor's bonus? That's bad practice," he commented cheekily, even though that was about all he could manage. The deal Nuren gave was a mysterious one. Some obviously magical object was in her hands, and she offered to make a bigger deal of it with more... functions? How strange. "Am I supposed to know what those are? Doesn't matter. If it's coming from you, I'll take it," he agreed with eyes traveling up and down her shifting form. At this point, Hiruko only lamented being without his camera and a prior arrangement to stage a photoshoot. Meanwhile, Ajax was hearing the request of Kama, who didn't stop addressing his member even while speaking. With an approach like that, he had only one thing to say. "Do what you're doing, and I'll answer any question you've got. But anyway... I think you already have concept of a Reality Marble? This is one of those... except it's a bit realer. Call it the original version. Can you imagine there being an entire lifetime in an alternate universe, where your path is completely different? Sure you can. Well, imagine there's one out there where you and I are... 'exclusive'. Forever. Not a chunk of isolated time, but the entire reality... ripped from where it was, and put into a marble. Simple naming pattern, right? That's what this is. This is us."

[Apollymi]

Kazuhiko and Kei settled on to the bus and continued to converse lightly. It would appear by Kazuhiko's own words that he fully intended to keep trying for points and saw himself as guaranteed to gain more given he didn't intend to change much at all. That was interesting, she'd not known very many men in her lifetime. And the ones she did, outside of the oddities of meeting her own mentor were not really points of interest for her. "I can see that..." she said of his attitude. He'd been through the whole day, and even killed people but still hadn't let much of any of it affect his mood. There was only a bit of oddity surrounding him and that was about to be explained with just as much excitement as everything else. According to Kazuhiko, he thought she hated him since the previous day's crying episode and this date of theirs was a huge turnaround in his book. It was awesome. "Sou... I don't hate you," she started, that confession was easy enough she was going out on a date with him so that should have been obvious. "I really don't meet that many guys. And none who are genuine and being nice. Even the men in my own family... are at minimum weird and at maximum worthless dumbasses, but you are just a bit, weird to me. Not in a bad way..." she explained as much as she was able. She'd been overwhelmed the previous day and her emotional state was already unbalanced. His niceness after all that completely threw her off after everything else.

At the same time, out in that van... Miko was stripping down to nothing in front of Soma. He claimed her dance was completely unnecessary but that it would definitely ensure she got... scrambled. A chuckle escaped Miko, given why she was here, it definitely sounded like she should do exactly what she was doing any time it was purely her intention "Definitely scrambled♪~" she chimed. Since that was what he was going for but he hadn't actually told her to stop, she'd accept the boundary for what she thought of it as, a suggestion. Miko was at least acutely aware of his eyes on her person and the sound of his head leaning to the side. Though he claimed it wasn't necessary he seemed interested enough, perhaps she'd simply take liberties unless he was unquestionably clear? Yeah, that sounded right. As that little dance of hers came to an end she'd stepped out of her thong more than ready to turn around but he wanted something specific? Well, as she'd decided earlier, she'd take any requests she felt like taking, and even though he wasn't compelling her to do so, she was still more than willing to show him something he wanted to see. Even if it was likely that the sexual thrill wasn't the only reason he wanted to see it. "Hai♪!~" she sang her compliance. Actually, the directness with which that order was given had her mouth and loins dripping subconsciously. So, in the true manner of making a show of her actions, Miko would reach behind herself with her left hand. She'd find her own slit and gently run her fingers through existing juices while moving back to her rear. Once there, she'd trace her anus with her lubricated fingers before slipping into it with both her middle and ring fingers. The dexterity with which this was done was normal for her, but the extra juices leaking from her core and mouth were not at all normal for this sort of sex act.

Meanwhile, Hiruko was being ridden into submission while he gained both magical and physical understanding. He claimed that it was bad practice for her not to leave him a chips to bet with. She could only smirk while staring him down even as her hips began winding in circles as if she intended to make a swirling vacuum in the depths of her core. "Visitor's bonus? Someone like you doesn't need something like that right? I don't do bad practice... I also don't make bad deals. I'm hurt you'd even insinuate it~" she said cheekily. Meanwhile, he claimed that he'd accept her terms even if he didn't know exactly what it was he was getting. "Eh? That's really good of you. That's good, I won't cheat you on it. I'll tell you what it is, but I'd rather make sure your brain is where it needs to be when I do, can't have you only hearing half of what I'm saying~" she claimed as if that was reason enough for her not to deviate from her current activity. Yet and still her body started to twitch inside, she was truly moving towards orgasm though not at any massive pace. Meanwhile, Kama was busy artfully sucking cock even when she pasued to take a break she was kissing it and showing it a senusal amount of attention. She was told to continue so she would, while an explanation was given. What she heard was the more advanced version of a thing she currently did. Isolating a moment in time and making it real. She would be receiving one of those and she looked surprised as she took his cock back into the depths of her mouth, down her throat, a bit, though some gagging would ensue given the power of the cock she was currently trying to swallow. When she was done with the sensation of it, while he explained, she backed away. She licked her own saliva off his cock and kissed it more while nodidng her understand. "I do something like that but not on that sort of s scale. That's very interesting as a present... I'll definitely enjoy something like that," she said. Without even the sexual aspects of it being obvious yet, she'd enjoy even witnessing something like that as a magical object.

[Bloodedge]

Following an admission of a strange nature, Kei clarified what he'd been working toward piecing together with clues and assumptions since the 'crying event' of yesterday. The guys she knew were very limited, and she didn't have the best opinion of the males in her family either. With that in mind, she thought Kazuhiko was just weird... in a good way. He thought it through. Being weirder than the rest, he supposed, was alright... but an honest Kazu couldn't put himself in a different league than other men. "Well... at the core of it all, I'm still probably not very different compared to other guys. I'll be totally honest ─ my first, second and third thoughts were all totally sexual. A lot of thoughts right now are the same or worse, actually. I even feel like I've got brain-in-dick syndrome that keeps getting worse by the day, so... just don't put me on some sort of pedestal. I'm also probably a weird dumbass ─ just hopefully one you think is cool~"

Wherever she went, whenever the time and in whichever reality, the one called Iino Miko was certain to be 'scrambled' again and again, so long as she existed... and sometimes even when she didn't. There were some individuals who understood this in truth. What of Soma, though? Well, he was fated to be one of the whisks. He'd been watching her move not fully in sexual excitement, but as a matter of the task he'd be undertaking ─ a necessary step in his endless climb to the top. Her voice carried some sort of magic in it, much like he did... but it was different, unknown to him, and therefore a mandatory acquisition in whatever way he could manage. Ah, but how easily could she be bossed around? Apparently with no difficulty at all. When told to use her own fingers on her own anus, Miko took the non-magical order and ran with it once more. He watched as she wet fingers in her own juices before squeezing not one, but two fingers into her ass. What an interesting development, Soma thought. He absolutely had to test the limits. "Hmm. Switch hands. Put those fingers in your mouth instead," he decided in the moment.

Meanwhile, Nuren claimed that Hiruko had no need of a visitor bonus to this hypothetical casino. Was she so hurt that he'd insinuate a bad deal from her end? It didn't seem to be the case. In fact, Hiruko imagined there was nothing he could do, even trying, to affect this one's mood or demeanor much... if at all. "As if. I've never even met you before... but that's what of those 'Reality Marbles' he's talking about, isn't it? Yeah... that makes sense. Meeting a guy you've known for a lifetime, who's never met you... and I don't even get an introduction. For─shuah~" Hiruko was interrupted there as his body seized, an accidental lesser expulsion gushing into Nuren's womb in response to those twitches. "Hah... shame," he finished during recovery. All the while, Ajax was able to enjoy the rapid development of Kama in her earliest moments. She was quite the abuser of knowledge, taking what she had access to and using it with weaponlike efficiency. Into her throat he was taken, even at the cost of gagging... or rather, from Ajax's perspective, the reward of sensation. By the time she pulled away again, she was right back to that same sensual approach from moments before while addressing his explanation. It seemed she had cause for interest even without the additional implications. "I'm sure you will. You're also probably going to have to tell your si─... friend how it works. This thing here is like an endless wet dream. All it takes is a little mana to turn it into a toy that'll either shift your consciousness to the reality inside, or... a bit of a stronger effect. It's a direct physical copy of what you're worshipping right now. Cock-worshipping, by the way. That's what your current behavior is called in the sacred language. The 'sacred language' is just deviant lingo; don't read too deep into that."

[Apollymi]

Kei made the sort of confession she felt was good for her. Beyond that it seemed that Kazuhiko thought he wasn't too far outside of normalcy for a man. He explained his own thought processes and didn't want to be put on a pedestal. He confessed that most of his thoughts were sexual and that they'd been since the moment of meeting the prior day. By the time he finished speaking her eyes were sparkling and had to cough to cover her own shyness and turn her head towards the window. "I guess that's worth a few points..." she claimed her face intensely blushing. "Also for future reference... we get the instinct and sexual thing, it might not be the first thing out of our mouths in mixed company but most girls do get that part. You were there in our group chat, that one was the second one, we....I mean they were feral during the Emergency Meeting. Though I was a spider so my understanding of stuff now is different.." she explained.

Meanwhile, Iino Miko didn't know restraint, she'd been the one to say that a few minutes ago and have it questioned. Well, the truth of that became obvious as non-magical orders were given and they were followed simply because she wished to in the moment. If he was going to decide how easily Miko could be bossed around, then he'd be in for a surprise? Or maybe none... she was among the many who lived her life on the terms she decided were best and in the current moment that included doing what Soma wanted. What was more, she already had a full understanding of the nature of magical bodies she had no issues following his next directive. Her right hand would move to replace the left from the front, while her left hand traveled back towards her mouth. As confirmation of that she turned her head towards Soma allowing him to see her licking and sucking those same two fingers from her drool extreme mouth. That mix was actually quite tasty and it wouldn't be any faking in her movements, no she was starting to enjoy herself.

At the same time, Nuren was being further aroused by the brain of Hiruko. He managed legitimate thoughts even while being ridden into oblivion by the blue haired lass. In fact her core only throbbed giving him an almost pulse straight to his cock as he came to his own conclusions and understanding. It was only added to by that interruption to his cooler exterior and the expulsion within her womb which made her quite happy. "Ara? I do always enjoy watching a clever brain, drift away... almost as much as I like watching it work♥!~" she mused while acknowledging that it was a bit odd to approach him this way, but it wouldn't have mattered. "Iia, not a shame, I suppose I didn't end up telling you my name... I'm always interested in seeing what bleeds through with you... and it's always rewarding♥~" she said having a somewhat valid reason. "See, you often call this face Nuren, sometimes this face is called things you have to feel, but the name attached to it is, Yelan♥~" she explained as that pulse became more consistent and she rode the fine line between her own orgasm and the crushing of Hiruko. Two little names were more than enough in this case, "And yes, this is a Reality Marble, but I have a certain proclivity with which you will become familiar at another time. So, there isn't just one lifetime in this one... it contains a few. Not the ultimate one though, that's a way bigger prize, Good Luck acquiring it♥~" she claimed as if it was simply a normal thing to say, all the while those poses were building up over time, more and more extravagant and more ridiculous as her arms moved about and she tugged at Hiruko's leash. At the same time, Kama was receiving quite a bit of information. According to Ajax she'd have to, explain this to a friend, but that thought was originally something else. Kama currently only had a few friends so she could make some assumptions. "Sou ka, I'll explain it, when the time is right. I think I know who I'll have to explain it and that is fine. Also I am glad that this works the way I thought it did and that deviance does seem to have its own culture... A copy of yours is quite interesting indeed... is the dream wet because it's about sex?" she mused more than willing to have that experience regardless. She'd carry on waiting for more answers, and explanations while trading those different techniques to get through this act of service which in truth wasn't something she minded doing naturally.

[Bloodedge]

"Yosh!" Kazu exclaimed after receiving points. He'd seen Kei's reaction and remained unsure about its exact cause, but... apparently something about him was getting the job done, so the details didn't matter! Moving on though, Kei expressed her understanding of the more instinctual approach to sexual matters. Kazu didn't consider things the same way, though. Yes, she and her friends were quite active in that group chat, but that seemed normal for humans anyway. Many times had he heard the sorts of things said by Bradamante and others, but even that and the aforementioned group chat seemed so very... normal now. "I get that, but I also want to be completely clear that it's so different in my head. Like, sure, you're all ten out of ten. That's awesome. But it's like, the way I see it isn't normal or even consistent? It keeps bouncing between this really strong urge to breed, dominate... possess... among other things. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like it's me making the decision; that's how strong it is. Uh! But that's not to say it isn't also me. I'm definitely in a hundred percent, crazy soul voice or not," he explained.

Another command, another compliance. If his full group of underlings could function as easily as Miko, Soma would be set for an easy life and climb... though there were some caveats. He surmised that she partially obeyed his orders as a matter of compliance, but it also seemed she was just enjoying herself, as if she would have eventually done such things on her own. Fingers were swapped, and those which traveled from her ass to her mouth were lavished and sucked upon with the strangest hint of joy. "Are you actually just going to do everything I tell you to? Is your entire purpose to just open your legs for somebody who bosses you around?" Soma asked as if genuinely curious to some extent. "What do you expect to get out of being a living sex toy? Growth? Fame? Leisure? What's the limit? Fist yourself," he said in the end.

That minor expulsion of Hiruko's was extending in similarly sized bursts as his mind slipped more and more. At this point, it was all he had in him just to keep focused and functional. Still, Nuren expressed an interest in his brain's functionality ─ or the loss of said functionality based on the present. Some additional words passed her lips to imply an even more in-depth understanding of him, seemingly all via that Reality Marble thing. Yelan was her name ─ at least the most proper version of it by his understanding. There was one thing even more imperative, though: the bigger prize she spoke of. How convoluted. Hiruko already had his eye on a larger prize than the present, all in the form of those poses she kept striking. He hadn't stopped ejaculating. Perhaps that was meant to be a problem? Well it felt like no such thing. "Heh! If that's the jackpot, what's a photoshoot? You can't just keep teasing a guy like me with all this eye candy and not let me look back on it later~" he said, skipping the usual fair under the assumption that Yelan understood him well enough already. Meanwhile, Ajax had a hand reaching out, fingers casually trailing through Kama's hair as they kept speaking. The next time she took an opportunity to speak, her question was about the nature of 'wet' dreams. "That's most of the reason for that name. Anyway, this thing here also contains my... let's call it a phone number. If you look in the right place, right time, you'll get it. Just make sure you call the right person. Understood?" he asked as that same hand moved to caress the girl's cheek, his eyes hinting something mysterious and incomprehensibly powerful. "Oh, and the details. This'll basically level up the more energy and purpose you put into it... or the more immersed you get, so be careful. If you had two of these, using both at the same time would have catastrophic results, but that's nothing for you to worry about with just this one. That is, unless you want a second one. I wouldn't say no to you if you wanted something specific~"

[Apollymi]

A few points were given and Kazuhiko acted as if he'd won a jackpot. It was quite interesting how excited he seemed to be, even without knowing the prize for his continued effort. The fact that he was willing to just go along with what she was saying, and believe that eventually there would be some reward for putting up with all of her nonsense was kind of heartwarming. What was more, they were starting to get into a more relaxed conversation, one in which Kazuhiko was even more candid than she thought he would be. He explained how he worked, what he thought and all those driving and instinctual thoughts. He complimented her and her friends. She was happy he had such a high opinion of all of them, it just made it easier for them to continue their close bonding. As for his actual instinctual thoughts and how he considered them she could only be empathetic. "Iia, I get that... completely. A while after I first became a spider... my instincts were all hunt, prey, kill, slaughter, eat, torture... I could only make sense of the eat one but... as I grew a bit I came to understand and incorporate those things. I started to do them all on my terms and it only really takes the first moment of understanding. As long as you're always the biggest thing in your head, you can make everything else, you." she commented. "And you're pretty good, so I figure making even the weirder parts into you would be good..." she managed.

Meanwhile, Miko as busy, complying with the demands put forth by Soma. Even with no magical application she could easily do the things he said and was finding quite a bit of joy in trying them out. In her own mind, she'd do anything she'd like... and beyond that she'd find it pretty interesting to do things she might not think of herself. All the while, Soma seemed to be working through his thought processes, while he watched her commit to the actions he'd demanded. "I'll do what you demand within the confines of this situation. And I do like bossy people... though they aren't the only kinds of people I like♪~" she mused moaning at her own actions. All that he'd asked of her was far from being something she'd say no to, as he continued to pontificate it seemed he was trying to figure out Miko's motivations or maybe ambitions? But to her own thought processes she iddn't think she'd be easily understood in that way... it seemed he'd gotten a bit rhetorical so she'd allow him to think more... while the hand which had two fingers in her ass became, three, then four, then five, with the added lubrication fo her fore. Since he'd not been specific about it, she'd also balled up her fist going into her mouth. She was far from being unable to properly handle something as gentle as her own dainty fingers. Just the same persimmon juice seemed to leak down onto her thighs traveling down the length of her legs as she wobbled on the balls of her feet.

At the same time, Hiruko and Nuren were approaching an interesting point. The spurts he'd released into her womb were followed up by several more... and she was loving each and every one. A pose was stricken, arms moved that leashed tugged all the while she knew the truth. That she was drawing attention to her physical specimen of a form and making him desire photographs of her. It was easy to forget that in the main form of time these people knew, it'd been Hiruko who was the disruptive influence when it came to picture taking. "Hmph, I forgot that in this time it was you... who started that trend. Hm, I have something coming up that requires my immediate attention but... I'll swing back thorugh for a photoshoot when the time is right. I wouldn't want to be unfair to you, Awanari♥~" Yelan claimed as she moved with a tiny bit more urgency. Actually she wsa nearing her next orgasm at a rapid pace just a few more moves until both arms would be in the air, coming down as if drawing full attention to the spectacle as she finished with Hiruko lodged as deeply into her core as she could get him. All the while her eyes were cast down at him, glowing in that strange teal color they were. Meanwhile, Kama was busy learning the functionality of her would be present and the proper explanation for it to give to a friend who wouldn't remember the exact rules. While she looked up at Ajax's face he had quite a few things to explain, including her ability to directly contact him through this odd device and pocket of reality. What was more he claimed that she simply had to call upon the right one. What did she make of that? There were caveats to contact and making sure she altered the right version of this man to her desires was necessary. As a handle and gentle caress was delivered Kama's face flushed gently, she did always enjoy these sorts of mixes. Admittedly though, she could think of nothing else she directly wanted to experience the way he offered it to her. "Hm, I don't have enough to work with to know what else I'd want... is it an individual scenario type of thing? I haven't experienced enough of those yet to know the kind I like. But I like having to work through stuff... so if you have one like that, I'd take it and anything you're holding back right now, Onii-chan~" she claimed while going back to her more serious work.

[Bloodedge]

After delivering an explanation about his circumstances, Kazu received a similar tale from Kei. As a spider in the other world, she was also cursed with an unusual demand to do things. Hers was a problem of a different nature, but something he could clearly commiserate with as well. "That's insane! I can't imagine having to deal with all that," he said ironically. "Personally, I'll keep the problem I've got. Props to you for making your thing work out. Best I've been able to manage on my end has been... well, doing what the crazy horny voice wants," he said. By then, they were crossing the bridge to their destination island. Kazu leaned closer to the window and, by virtue of that movement, closer to Kei herself. He just barely avoided supporting himself with a hand on her thigh, landing it instead on the seat itself. "Woah, that's what this festival looks like? They really do have two of them starting this week, huh?" he observed, knowing there was another in the works a bit closer to their current base. "Any idea what you wanna go for first?"

The ease of having Miko answer his demands apparently depended on the situation, according to the lass herself. She did have a thing for bossy people, though. That was quite strange for Soma to hear after what he'd seen of her thus far, but it didn't matter. What she liked or didn't like was no real business of his, so long as his personal agenda kept moving forward. "So you're just a confused and masochistic kind of slut. Got it," he surmised. Soma would quirk a brow as Miko added finger after finger to her rear, and even took the additional step yet again... by spreading lips around her other fist. She was wobbling a bit, but otherwise managing with great ease. "If that's how it's going to be, go at it fully. Debase yourself," he said to offer one additional demand. Soma didn't have much reason left to test Miko, but he did have just a couple of extra things in mind before making any progress. "And stop standing. If you're going to do all that just because I told you to, at least do it on the ground."

Apparently, Hiruko started a trend of photography. He didn't think being that much of a trendsetter was in the cards. What was in the cards, however, was some sort of arrangement. Though Yelan had business to address in the near future, she thought it would be worthwhile to make another visit for his desired photoshoot. With that being the case, he'd have to do a bit of training... and perhaps replenish a lot of bodily fluids. "Hnngh─done deal! Say when!" he managed, wondering only how much time he had to prepare. If there was enough, Hiruko supposed he'd be seeking a bit of growth via Sakura's aid in the near future. For now, he was startlingly running low on stamina ─ something that basically never happened to the blonde. On the other side of the boat's table, Kama was seeming a bit low on ideas. Ah, the learning curve of the younger ones reared its head. "It could be an individual thing, or it could be something else. You could ask me for something as simple as tilting your legs back, or something as outlandish as immortality. You could ask me about the Truth with a capital T, to put a new baby in you, or even the secrets of space-time travel. The special ones get special treatment, Kochou. The only thing you can't ask me for, is everything I've got. You'll have to settle for this," Ajax said as his cock pulsed thrice as a form of warning. Once those passed, his essence would be gushing by the liter, its destination determined entirely by What Kama was doing at the time. He didn't particularly care if it shot down her throat, straight into her mouth, all over her body, or some mix of the three. By his own approximation, he doubted Kama was very concerned with the details either... but her decisions were always interesting. "So? Anything in the universe; I've given it all to you before. I'll follow the lead of my partner there and offer any sort of reality except the main one. Too many spoilers there."

[Apollymi]

Kazuhiko heard out what Kei had to say about her current life experiences. Of course, his commentary on it was rather surprising. He was having a far worse time of things from what she'd picked up. Between almost having himself consumed by a god, having to deal with falling from the upper world into the lower world, rebuilding his person when the possibility of that wasn't even something he understood initially, and then rescuing Angelica on top of leading a group on a grand quest. Yeah his life was much more difficult to manage. If he relaxed by being extra horny she couldn't blame him. "It isn't that bad, I'd call myself the unified individual... I'm the biggest me, besides those kinds of instincts are usually good for you... as long as its something you would go for anyway. If my experience is anything to go by," she mentioned with her nose turned up in the air. Since she was looking out the window for the most part she'd easily seen the approach of that secondary festival spot. It seemed that Kazuhiko was excited by the prospect instead, leaning over to look out the window and managing to place his hand directly between her legs on the seat. Her face immediately flushed as she tried to remain calm. "Tehnhed tett bhyusz ombarrass'lin nu yakho pnod yeios pnex rhurpohob" she mumbled, her words leaking out not in Russian but in monster lanauge instead. "Eh? I don't have any immediate ideas... I usually let my stomach decide. I know there are a lot of specialties we can't get in Tokyo..." she mentioned seemingly pleased by the idea of getting something to eat, and using it as a distraction though she had a bit of a problem as her legs flinched just a little and met the muscles of his forearms which were abnormally well sculpted.

At the same time, Miko was getting a strictly observational assessment of her personality from Soma. And in the moment he chose some of the roughest words she ever heard and for some reason, instead of being disgusted or annoyed she simply felt... aroused. Perhaps that was something she should have thought about more, but a dragon man had called her a dirty little slut, immolated her and rebirthed her... who was she to argue with the assessment which seemed to be true. 'Why is that so hot?!' she exclaimed in her own mind. Apparently he wasn't done giving instructions either. He had the demand that Miko debase herself, but that was followed with the idea of her being too high above him. That was pretty stardard for his type of individual. And with such straight forward demands how could she do anything but submit? Miko fell to her knees removing the hand from her mouth to catch herself before she shifted. She continued showing off her rear while she aggressively masturbated in front of his man adding a hand to her loins. "I'm a dirty slut, who wants nothing more than to be scrambled into paste in the back of this van. And a filthy fucking masochist who likes when you call me a slut and tell me how garbage you think I am. I'm actually fucking disgusting♪~" Miko admitted, though she was meant to debase herself, in her own head these were all just positive points to her personality on the hunt to getting properly wrecked. If she was going to slut hell, she'd pave her own way with every footstep and it'd be the best day ever when she finally arrived. Given the current placement of her hands and her dripping loins she could rather easily push herself to a full orgasm within a few moments. She knew exactly what she liked about this even if it wasn't quite what she was looking for right just now.

Meanwhile, Yelan was busy making a set of deal with Hiruko. The really clever ones couldn't know too much too quickly. It'd be better for them if they figured things out on their own. "Hai hai, I'll let you know... I don't have a fix on the time just yet, still, pleasure doing business with you♥~" she claimed as she finally collapsed upon him in tht slow building orgasm that she intended to crush him both spiritually and magically at the point of that last pose. She was having quite the good time, the young ones were always fun. But she'd definitely show up in a timely manner, likely when the man was already alone. There was nothing much to stalking these early ones. And as he was still awake she'd make sure that little Reality Marble came with all the bells and whistles. Meanwhile Ajax was busy telling Kama all the things she could potentially ask for an the only rule she had to follow. According to him, she was special and that meant she could ask for any regular or irregular thing she wanted, except for all of him. She was apparently also not allowed the absolute version of them yet. That was fine. She accepted her food with... an open mouth his cock buried in the depths of her throat initially as she gagged, swallowed and then began her own withdrawals. She'd continue swallowing like one who enjoyed it until she pulled it from her mouth allowing it to spray a bit before she lapped at the tip a spray covering her face gently. "Hm, I hear this school thing mentioned a lot, do you have one with us in school together. I think I'd like to see something like that..." she thought. She'd keep that one for her own special needs but she didn't need much else. All the while her own loins tingled from an orgasm caused by all that throat fucking.

[Bloodedge]

The way Kei spoke from her own perspective gave Kazuhiko a valuable opinion indeed. He needed that sort of firm mentality for the looming threat of Father An consuming his soul. If life were so easy, he'd hardly have any problems left at the moment... but obviously Kei had a stronger constitution than him. "Gah, I wish I could be that cool! That's the most bad ass thing I've heard in ages!" he praised after hearing Kei speak of literally battling and dominating the proverbial beast within. He had to reach that level one day. For now though, Kazu was excitedly looking through the window at the upcoming festival venue. His thought process was interrupted by Kei, who spoke in a language he shouldn't have known. He paused, looking in her direction... confused for unusual reasons. Why did he know what she said? Moreover, why was she saying that? "Huh?" was all he managed before it registered to him what she was talking about specifically. In that moment, he looked down, noticing her leg was touching his arm. Quickly did Kazuhiko jerk away. "Ah! Gomen, gomen! I jumped up without thinking!" he pleaded, both hands clapping together in prayer pose. "Start over? I've got no idea what to go for either, so let's just go for whatever you're feeling in the moment."

Within the back of Soma's 'new' van, Miko was revealing more and more about her nature. She was every bit of the masochist he believed her to be. Silently dropping to her knees and removing only the fist that was in her mouth, she gave herself every bit of self-humiliation he expected... even while seeming to wholly agree with and accept all of her own words. All things considered, Soma believed that was a good quality. The ability to accept one's strengths and weaknesses was a strength of its own. Whether Soma was amused or disgusted, he wouldn't show. Either way, he'd be answering the call. "You said it yourself. Actually fucking disgusting." While he spoke, Soma finally got out of his seat and took the single step that put him in striking range of Miko. He'd be unzipping his pants while one foot pressed against her rear, as if to offset her. "Anything else, or have you reached the bottom of your own trash can already?"

Speaking of reaching the bottom of something, Hiruko was reaching the end of his rope. He wouldn't be getting a timeframe for Yelan's future arrival, but he would be getting... an inability to do much else for a while. At that collapse, Hiruko's body jerked. He could do nothing but inhale sharply as another outpour of his energy left him limp, all things delivered into the woman's body. He couldn't even close his eyes for several seconds. Consciousness hadn't left him yet, as was the goal set for him. He'd be wordlessly working on recovery for some time thereafter, albeit not silently due to some very audible heaving. In that time, Ajax was staring down into Kama's face. She'd taken his load straight to the throat, though not without pulling back in time to have it upon her face by the end. Only then did her request come. The first Reality Marble was done, so her desired 'school era' variant could be started right away. "Great choice! And since I like the way you look right now more than most things in the universe, I'll throw in a bonus. Here," he said, handing off the first marble for any inspection or testing Kama desired while he began weaving the second. "Gaia school, Academia, Knights' Academy, Magic Institutes... I'll throw in the whole shebang from as many realities as I can cram into one marble! Spoiler alert: it's also mostly fucking."

[Apollymi]

Kei was in for several surprises, not the least of which was the admission that Kazuhiko thought she was badass, or cool even. She explained her logic on how she went from food to predator in the magical world and received for it, praise of her fortitude. She looked stunned. She only expected that kind of encouragement from the girls never from a guy who was simply talking to her. "Hmphf! It's good you can see the truth, that's also worth a few points," she claimed feeling rather good. It was truly far too easy for someone like Kazuhiko to gain 'points' in this proverbial system. Of course, the upcoming festival seemed to distract Kazuhiko quite a bit, but he didn't seem to catch that slip into monster language that Kei had. 'Yosh! I don't have to figure something else out... that was an accident even, good job!' she thought. All the while, Kazuhiko was soon enough apologizing for invading her personal space. She'd been prepared to try and move past her own fluster, but it would seem her luck was turning around today, as his apology left her a face-saving option she didn't think would have been open to her before. "Hahaha! I'm benevolent so we can start over," she mused secretly quite pleased that this hadn't turned into something catastrophic. "Well, we were talking about sea food, interested int rying the Takoyaki? I hear its the best from here..." she mentioned.

At the same time, Miko was discovering just how far she was willing to go for a good lay. The fact that she was being insulted but somehow was still liking what she heard was one thing. Perhaps there was something wrong with her brain or maybe being in the magical world had changed her values. Or maybe it was none of that and it was a simple matter of the sounds themselves? Whatever the case, she was having the time of her life, fisting herself and almost being ready to spew her own liquids just from the extra attention. She was off set as the sound of a zipper ad her eyes turning towards Soma so she wouldn't miss the moment his cock sprang out. "Trash can might not be big enough. I was spanked so hard my soul vibrated, called a dirty little slut and immolated during sex by a double dicked dragon man until I gained a new form which was then fucked into unconsciousness and fucked out of existence by an alien and brought back to life... and that's just the stuff I remember agreeing to... it's not a trash can it's a well and even I don't know how deep it goes. Agitate it as you wish and sink as far as you like and I'll make sure you get all the feedback you need♪~" From her current position she was fully ass up her chest pressed into the floor of the van while her ass bounced in excitement. With her last statements her chirping came to an end, but all she could do was wait, she'd decided to do what he wished and would wait for more specific desires before taking any actions concerning him into her own hands.

Ah but while some waited to start, others were wrapping up. Hiruko for instance, seemed to be at the end of his rope. His body was still there but he didn't yet have the magical ability to tangle with Yelan. "Aaaaah♥!~ I always enjoy a nice champagne. And look at you... still conscious and everything~" she mused though she knew he couldn't yet answer back. "For you though this Reality Marble is a flesh light. Add a little mana... it's self-lubricating and will also allow you to take on a dream state of a different you that I was with in one of my various forms," she explained lightly. "Ah, and since I'm super nice, the type of orifice changes too, depending on the scene and how you feel at the start. You could even just lick it if you really wanted to know what the information is..." she claimed in a leisurely state. "Same rules apply though, you could end up pinned down for a while if you start something serious... be a little cautious~" she finished her explanation. The forms of her within this space, weren't ones that were going to be seen by many at all. Meanwhile, Kama was accepting a marble and looking it over, while another was being created for it. She could feel the sheer density of mana within it. And it seemed to appeal to her all ofher senses just the same. As for the choice she made it was called good. She'd hoped so, school was one of the odder things she'd heard about from the others. "Is it? Does that count as a spoiler, I was assuming that this was the main reason for sharing the Reality Marbles, for the experience..." she confirmed her own understanding of the creations which would probably help everyone who had them. "Still, I can't wait to see all the different ways schools can play out!~" Kama mentioend. All the while, after a thorough bit of waiting, Yelan would extricate herself from Hiruko's lap... that leash remaining in hand as she stood and stretched gently only to lean down peck his lips as she loosed the leash and it disappeared. Still she held that marble in her hand and would place it in his. "Dream of me sometime~" she teased mercilessly.

[Bloodedge]

Whether for better or worse, Kazuhiko was racking up points faster than he had in anything before. Of course he had no problems with the acquisition of more. It was, after all, his goal to get whatever reward lay at the end. "Awesome! I'm a shill for points already! Let me know when I can cash in; I'm excited!" he requested moments before that minor incident of closeness. Once it came and went, Kei claimed to be benevolent. As a statement, such a claim was almost cringeworthy, yet... cute. Kazuhiko had nothing more to say; he wouldn't ruin her moment. Besides, they were able to move on and decide what sort of food they were seeking first. Takoyaki was an interesting choice. As for whether he was interested in trying it, Kazu could only shrug. "If that's what you want, I'm all in! I told you I'm not picky; I'll eat pretty much anything," he spoke through a toothy, somewhat goofy grin.

Meanwhile, Miko had claims of her own to make. A trash can wasn't nearly large enough to contain the amount of 'trash' she was. The list of things she'd been through just today was not only long, but absolutely degenerate. A bit of anal self-fisting seemed trivial by comparison to all things mentioned. Even during all of that ridiculousness she claimed, Miko kept glancing back, as if expectantly awaiting the eventual release of Soma's cock... which would be happening under her scrutiny without fail. "So you expect me to sink into your endless well of filth even though you haven't seen the bottom of it yourself? That's stupid," he said. Soma had been pressing the brunette's bottom with his foot, but that would change as he spoke. Since she was so well-positioned, he decided to step directly on the arch in her back, bearing down weight on that leg while the other bent. Soma would be lowering himself as such, kept from penetration only because Miko's hand was in the way. "You jump first. Fall all the way to the bottom. When you get there, I'll have a cushion to land on," he demanded.

Hiruko finally earned freedom, but was it freedom he wanted? Not necessarily. Though death's sweet touch had been gently caressing him for some time now, he felt almost compelled to sink further into darkness. Alas, his body could no longer abide that behavior. He did try to speak when Yelan explained the Reality Marble and its functions. Another attempt was made when she placed the item in his hand and pecked his lips. Alas, both attempts ended similarly: in utter failure. All he could do was breathe toward steadiness that might come eventually. That aside, it seemed he was undoubtedly complacent. In the meantime, Kama was able to observe her first of two Reality Marbles. Upon hearing about the school-related spoiler Ajax shared, her commentary was very interesting... and deserving of a reaction, Ajax thought. That would come momentarily, but only after he reached down to grab the lass, intending to lean her against the table. "Oh? That's a good way of thinking!" he exclaimed. As if for the purpose of rewarding Kama's thought process, Ajax would be swiftly ramming his erection into her womb to flood it once more. It would take only a single thrust and an active choice to dump a mass of power into the lass. "Have that for being awesome. Do whatever you want with it... unless it develops consciousness. I'm not sure what that one is," he mused absently. "But most importantly, don't forget to go looking for that name. You're going to need it... or want it... or yes."
