<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Apollymi]

The activities of the grand hall were ones which would build a new kind of camaraderie between the members. A sex game had become something of a rule less orgy but... that was the intention after all. The two Yakuza connected males were both worked over and recovering, while Yugi was plowing Meron and Albertus was being ridden by Miko. Still, those males weren't the only ones bonding, Reina and Chizuru were both seemingly out of it and waiting on something else. Gojo was still not talking but Tae was having the ride of her life with an amount of aggression she'd not been able to show since the start of Gates and awakenings.

Meanwhile Makima entered the room posing a question and accompanied by Daikichi Hiruko, it would appear that Hiruko thought himself to have bad luck. Makima's ringed eyes went towards that room and her left brow rose. She had the slightest upturn of her lips and she seemed amused, "Oh? I never thought about shutting him up that way," Makima said with a light tone. Soon after, she was being given a somewhat legitimate response, "YES DADDY!~" is what slipped out of Meron's mouth as she was pummeled by a hand which had more than a little bit of active impact. At the same time, the movements of Albertus and his words went along with the very aggressive ride that Miko was currently having. "Sou ka, what an aggressive way to spend an afternoon. I still didn't get my updates," Makima said given the oddities of the people sitting around Makima's eyes were shifting. "Kitagawa Reina and Oleana Animusphere were surprising additions. I also didn't expect Ohara Jun but that removes him from my watch list," she she said casually. Soon enough her eyes were shifting around the circle filling in names from the previous night and finding that new girl to be one she'd not seen. By virtue of the list she had to be Mizuhara Chizuru, but looking at her physically her placement on the list didn't make sense. "That's an unawakened human..." she said with mild confusion. That girl was longing but her eyes opened as she confronted ringed irises. Most would be ignoring Ren's masturbation but Miko could hear the fury with which he touched himself. "You better not," Miko challenged while her ride continued.

[Bloodedge]

Before anything else came of his exchange with Makima, proof of progress came from Meron herself. Her response was something all too familiar. Yes daddy, she said as her ass was used like a fleshlight and a punching back all at once. "Good girl, Merushi! Again!" he demanded. Meron's ass kept him farther away than he wanted to be once he had her bent fully at the waist again, but that was alright. Instead of affecting the range of his strokes by reaching forward, Yugi seized the woman's throat using Ruler's Hand, applying crushing force with the knowledge that there would be no negative impacts ─ especially given her power level.

Yugi didn't seem to care about Makima's updates. That much was clear to Hiruko, who'd made his way toward that crystal bottle between the thrones. The whole room smelled like a bar by now, but that one bottle was the only one he saw. Picking it up, Hiruko took a sniff and recoiled. "Whew! That explains a lot~" he said. He even managed a little sip before holding the bottle in Makima's direction. "Strongest stuff I've ever seen. Nothing like that champagne; these spirits are a little closer to poltergeists~" he joked. Ah, but Makima had an oddity to mention ─ specifically the non-Hunter who managed to become the highest Intimacy Bondmate overall, excluding Ren in the past few minutes. "HanabiSparkle. Very unawakened, arguably human~" Hiruko affirmed, one forefinger pointed toward his own temple giving a few spins to warn about that one's brain. "Bitch snatched me out of a train in the middle of nowhere and wanted it. So I fucking gave her this!" Yugi said just before an echoing slam into Meron's rear. Ren was having a great time stroking himself to two scenes, and now to Makima's very existence as well. Alas, Miko was onto his antics already. Surely she thought to dissuade him from any waste while she bounced wildly in the bucking lap of Albertus, but... Ren didn't care. "There's only one way to stop it!" he insisted. Either he'd be shooting out, or he'd be shooting in. The latter... was not an option Ren intended to seek for himself. No, the choices were far too difficult for that. "Kid's got a point~" Albertus chuckled. The way his midsection was moving at the time, he was actually managing to function as a method of transportation from the bucking alone. Miko was going for a ride ─ this one was just made a little more literal.

[Apollymi]

Meron was also one who spoke rather naturally. An ingrained need to fold to the lad's will appeared in the woman that wasn't naturally there. 'Daddy' was the term Miko had used, for the sake of explaining how she felt around him. Meron used it because ti felt most natural leaving her lips while he aggressed her the way he was doing. Meron was called a good girl and given an extra nickname, as such she'd be doing what was necessary to get the rest of what she came here for, "YES DADDY!~ DESTROY ME!~" Meron claimed. for a woman with such a wholesome following her personality in sexual situations was counterintuitive, but in this case Oleana only shook her head. "This is way worse than you said it was gonna be," Oleana said, and she'd not even had a turn yet. Still that use of Ruler's Hand was one that Meron took as exciting someone touching her with that kind of aggression was usually reserved for a single specific individual.

While Yugi worked Meron the rest of the way over, Hiruko was putting together their afternoon drinking game and why this was an active orgy instead of anything else. Makima's nostrils gently flared, and somehow what they were drinking today was even stronger than their previous nights drinking. "That is quite strong. Another drinking game then... I thought you might take more time before doing that again..." Makima observed almost casually. And it would be Miko to respond. "Iia, everyone had to drink to play this one. Much more fair... and I didn't end up deepthroating a whiskey bottle so I'll call it a win♪~ Also Ojunsei is my therapist, clever ones make their own choices and he chose his precious patient♪~" Miko chirped out the quickest explanation while, quite literally riding towards her target in question. It would seem that Hiruko was familiar with the human girl's online person and he gave cursory details. While Yugi claimed he'd been pulled off a train by her so he gave her... "HYUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!~" a loud and strangled noise escaped Meron as she was filled in a way that was quite rare most times. "Wooohahaha!~ Best decision of my life. Ended the scene though... I gotta get that back~" Chizuru claimed in that odd way she spoke about most things. At the same time, Miko was being guided over towards Ren and bouncing with winding circles and even more aggression than previously mention. "Either I'm getting double stuffed or he's getting stomped into the ground when I get off♪!~" the brunette declared and once again Oleana was shaking her head, and Reina dozed into consciousness, "I keep forgetting that isn't Ritan..." she said focusing on Miko and realizing she wasn't the woman she thought after hearing something too abrupt to be called a flirt. All the while, Makima was piecing together the teens day based on their current lists and the information given. "Sou ka, traveling, got pulled off a train, managed to have aggressive sex with a human girl without killing her. Kyaha~" a laugh escaped Makima as it always would, several things were opening up and she'd be increasing her Intimacy by another 6 percent.

[Bloodedge]

Once again, Yugi was being asked for destruction. He couldn't know the reason such a thing hit so close to home, but his response would always be the same. After the brief display of what he'd done to Chizuru, Yugi kept the pace higher than should be allowable The slaps of his pelvis against Meron's ass sounded like the end of a fireworks show, enhanced by the repeated swings of his hand. He seemed pleased as punch to be capable of giving everything he had, yet... it seemed there was much more in the tank than there should have been. "Destruction it is!" Yugi announced. One mighty slam stretched Meron's womb deeper into her body, and then came the torrent of mana that currently carried a more corrosive quality ─ something like a spicy acid bomb straight to the womb. As he let loose and aimed to keep Meron held perfectly down in place, Yugi's grin may have been the more satisfied than ever.

Ah, but there was still more. Makima's curiosities had been piqued, and her amusement was much the same once she realized killing Chizuru had been avoided. He first had to recover from an explosion that would last nearly an entire minute, as if he meant to double Meron's body weight with that destructive mana he loosed. While that was going on, Hiruko taste-tested that bottle of liquor once more... and quirked a brow from one thing he heard. "A whiskey bottle?" he mumbled. Those things had varying sizes and shapes... and any of them were beyond impressive for such a feat. Upon hearing another familiar voice, Hiruko's gaze shifted to Reina, who seemed to be in quite the state. "Einacchi? I wonder whose fault it is that she wound up here~" he said. At that point, Ren was stroking himself with increased ferocity, as if he meant to race Miko to the end of an imaginary line. Yugi's movements had come to a halt; he was finally ready to give Makima some important information. "Save the snap. That isn't what happened. I held back a lot, bar a few chances taken. But, that quest is what got me the ability to go all-out whenever I want, never dropping someone below 1% HP. I'm pretty sure she got a Skill that helped with it too. Haven't figured out what it is yet."

[Apollymi]

Yugi's go with Meron had unlocked many an interesting feature of the lad by the time he was railing her so properly. In this case, Meron herself felt a bit of nostalgia, not in terms of being purely overwhelmed but in terms of attitude and impact. Speaking of impacts, several were being made against Meron's rear with enough force to make her feel it, which was more than surprising. A surprised little yelp escaped that woman but, it wouldn't be her who was watching, no Meron was filled with something corrosive, something that felt a bit closer to real Destruction. And then there was Oleana who watched and shifted, "This is so much worse than you claimed," the blonde woman said, while Meron herself would go into a recovery that left her quiet and writhing. But she as still sitting around in a bathing suit, and that black choker around her neck seemed to be spreading down her chest, a single black strip growing from it, over time.

Meanwhile, Yugi was in recovery mode and Oleana seemed scared or excited depending on what one thought of it. Miko was making her way over to a lad who was furiously masturbating while riding a different cock that was making the movements possible with more aggression than she showed most people. A question about the whiskey bottle had Miko shifting her eyes towards Hiruko as he tasted that liquor. "Hai♪~ That one was a doozy, not the worst thing though♪~" Miko claimed, which was true. At the same time, she was also approaching a certain amount of tightening to that aggressive ride, even though she couldn't hurt herself with Albertus, she would instead squeeze him to death in her depths. Beyond that Miko's eyes locked on Ren, "Renny, through the floor if you spill it♪!~" she said her voice was sweet but the look on her face was rather intense. Technically speaking the worst thing she'd ever worked down her throat was still, Gojo's cock. Moving on from this point, Hiruko noted the look of one Kitagawa Reina, "Nyah, it's Rukopi!~" said the cat woman who shrugged. "I was meeting Ryochi when that one popped down in front of me. It kinda spiraled out from there..." she said pointing to how her day started versus how it ended. Ah but she wasn't the only one. No Yugi was speaking again, warning Makima against her snap with actual information, the human girl, wasn't spared initially but the skill gained from her would let him go all out against everyone he faced sexually. And the girl got a skill. "A human has a skill? And you can't kill with sexual contact... Kyaha~" Makima covered her mouth holding it off for now. "What's your skill?" she aimed that question at Chizuru who looked up. "Ooohaaha!~ So much pressure from such a little question!~ I hadn't looked yet you know... I'm a little busy being a bad end heroine right now!~" Chizuru said, only to look. "Menu..." she paused looking through her skills list for the first time "Ooh, I got superhuman roleplaying ability. Body and Mind elevated, with bonuses if we're doing scenes. Oh and I got a transformation too... and an actual BAD END DEBUFF, you cheeky dickwaffle!~" Chizuru said chiding Yugi playfully but seemingly not upset at all. Makima on the other hand was nearly choking on laughter she couldn't hold in anymore. "Kyahahahaahaha~" Miko looked over to Makima and shook her head. "Go-sei's being pinned. Are you handing over bucket duty?♪!~" Miko questioned playfully as she went full on for her secondary meal.

[Bloodedge]

Hiruko was content to focus on Reina's unexpected appearance, but first came a familiar hiccup. Miko had offered a response to his mumbling ─ something a normal person shouldn't have heard. Such a thing drew his eyes to a girl who already looked very familiar, and now may have come with a proper connection. "Sou desu ka..." he replied slowly. Whatever he was thinking, Hiruko brushed it off to speak with the tanned woman. "Isn't it always a spiral? That could be the motto of your whole group~" he teased.

All the while, Yugi was catching his breath. He'd be resting within Meron for a few moments yet, while keeping his gaze fixed on Makima. Her snap was inevitable. Such was always the case when the Players had something new to tell her about, and it was only getting more ridiculous over time. Makima wasn't the only one learning this time. Yugi only had an idea of the things Chizuru's Skill might be; he'd get confirmation alongside the chairwoman. "Figured it'd be something like that. I got a temporary masquerade power from that," Yugi explained, pulling himself out of Meron's rear while pushing her away for ease of removal. In doing so, Yugi revealed something quite a bit longer and girthier than he had mere hours before. As he was pulling back, Yugi paused. Chizuru calling him a 'cheeky dickwaffle' was far too familiar. He knew someone who would use a term like that, and may have used the exact same one before. There was no way she had a connection, though... right? "Hm..." was all he muttered. At the same time, Miko's attempt to reach her next 'snack' was something she would have to take unto herself. Regardless of her threat, the gush was coming ─ splashing outward in Miko's general direction. If she hoped to reach it, she'd have to make a way, lest it reach the floor before it reached her at all.

[Apollymi]

Miko also hadn't noticed something yet. There were a few voices in rooms that always seemed to catch her attention. Even after having her hearing adjusted and toned down, there were voices that she could hear, without trying to hear them. Yugi was one, but she might have blamed that on their underlying connection, she could always hear the voice of Dreameater if he was near by but as her absolute favorite voice that made sense. Hiruko had joined that list of people. Those she could hear with no manner of concentration and perhaps she woud have found time to focus on that, but now would not be the time. No... instead Reina was shrugging off the outlandishness of her day. "I mean yeah, but usually more than one of us has to be in a room for it to end up that way..." Reina said almost casually. "But Saorin's out of town, Ritan's acting as Guild Master so she's all busy, Nono had a session with her therapist, and Gikushi took a day off. Even Macchan is on a shoot overseas no supervision needed. I didn't expect this sort of thing on a single day alone. No teasing, Rukopi~" she pointed out lazing over a throne and seeming content to remain there.

At the same time, Meron was being separated from not caring and wanting to take a bit of a nap regardless. Yugi heard officially what his powers connected to Chizuru did and she chuckled. "Bwahaha!~ Perfect collaboration partner in my future!~ I'll also use that guy," she said pointing to Ren. Just the same Miko was moving herself managing to catch her snack in her mouth and on her face just before it would have hit the groud before causing herself to rocket back down onto Albertus with triumph! "MMMMMHHHH♪!~ WORTH IT♪!~" she sang happily. Sipping cranberry juice while feeling that deep overly comfortable sensation. Makima could only continue to laugh, "Bucket might be an understatement again~" she managed pulling herself back together. "Do you have plans for after all of this? Also anything else crazy today? Or did you take it easy?" she asked of the pair as if keeping track of them was her new favorite thing. Miko would answer because it was easy and because she'd swallowed what she'd intended. "My active power pickup for the day is, communication spying, lucky pervert reality bending, blood based strength enhancement and... persuasive speech," Miko asserted a short list of things which were problematic individually and together just made cause another little laugh from Makima. "I have a date at five with my own human target, aforementioned lucky pervert... but I think I'm mostly free afterwards," Miko claimed. "You two do remember you're supposed to be on vacation right? What's your current level?" Makima asked though her eyes shifted back to Yugi and she had a very casual perusal of his physical form... that was an impressive bit of growth even by her own standards.

[Bloodedge]

Around the time Ren was firing yet another load today, he caught wind of Chizuru's words about him. Some silent agreements had been made between the pair when they shared moments during the game, and it would soon be time to realize said agreements. Ren looked somewhat seriously at the girl, nodding his acceptance. This group didn't know what it was in for. As for Hiruko, he was getting a better grasp of things ─ and already had knowledge that it seemed Reina was without. "No notice yet then, huh? Tomorrow's gonna be fun to watch~" he commented.

Yugi finally managed to stand, shamelessly brandishing new musculature and endowment the likes of which one could only see in a few rare Hunters. Makima wanted to know about any additional ridiculousness from the Players. Obviously she didn't know the reason for his earlier messages yet, but Yugi took a minute to dress himself in that black jinbei while Miko explained her end. By the time he was dressed and ready to speak, the chairwoman was asking their current level. Yugi spoke in an order of importance determined by his own beliefs. "You're wasting your time looking for an update from earlier. Actually... that phone call is pretty late. Whoever you've got handling that right now is probably trying, and failing, to figure it out," he said first. "We're level 63 now ─ almost halfway to 64. And this is a vacation. We were playing a game... and I think I just won, so my prize is waiting," he said afterwards. With that, Yugi shifted his gaze toward Oleana. He'd seen that thing around her neck already. It looked strange originally, but it had since grown, expanding into some sort of garment... or binding. Whatever the secret behind that was, he'd find out eventually. After all... there was a reason he hadn't picked her in any of the rounds, and it wasn't completely for the sake of getting her drunk.

[Apollymi]

Ren and Chizuru apparently had a bit of an unspoken connection. They were both filthy deviants of the highest order, and as such including someone like him as a faceless protagonist for herself was bound to happen. She had both sides of it now, and her videos would only improve for inclusion. Beyond that point, Hiruko hinted to Reina about an upcoming event, she sighed and rolled her eyes, once again yawning like a cat who needed another nap. "I don't even want to think about tomorrow. Sounds like it's going to be a day, I need a nyaap~ already~" she said a cat like yawn slipping in and extending one of those words in a way which most would have called way too coincidental.

Meanwhile, Miko gave Makima a rundown of her day. The girl had been quite busy, Makima could see that by virtue of the random names moving around on her list. Even so, the additional names and the like had five new and questionable powers in the hands of a girl that likely wouldn't use them nefariously given her own personality. "Mm-hm, so be expecting a phone call or text message from me in a couple of hours," Makima said to Miko who nodded her understanding. "Hai hai, though you can just call me if you prefer. I give adult people the option of not having to see my neurosis so clearly♪~" Miko claimed and it seemed almost playful except for the gentle redness to her face. She was surprisingly self-aware for someone still sitting with a dick buried deep inside her person and her hips ever so casually moving. As for Yugi's dressing and statements, Makima watched with all the impassiveness of a person who'd seen far too many things in her life time. Though admittedly that was quite an impressive bit of growth. "Sou ka... speak of the devil," Makima mused. While Yugi turned his attention to Oleana her ringing normal phone was being answered on speaker. "Speak..." it would be Kasumi on the other end explaining a rather taxing situation. "Shidou-kaicho, I am sorry to interrupt but I have an incident report and a lawsuit here that aren't within my realm of clearance to deal with. A love hotel has filed for repayment of damages as a Hunter... broke through a room on the forth floor into a room on the third," she mentioned carefully as Makima looked towards Yugi with a smile pulling at the edges of her lips. "Continue." she said seemingly completely calm. "Also the manager of that same hotel was injured during a confrontation with that Hunter, though there is no evidence he was touched physically he still claiming personal damages," Kasumi said. "Hai, leave it on my desk. I'll deal with it when I return," Makima said shaking her head and ending the call without another word. "Through a hotel though? And that was earlier? Goddamit!" the exclamation was pointed at Meron who had rolled over onto her side and now had a pillow under her head and a blanket pulled up over her body. "It's fine Lea... that whole thing was great. Just like old times!~" Meron said sleepily. "Hm, we won? I didn't get turned down either... I'm probably not getting a turn before I have to leave," Miko murmured, looking over Oleana. She looked around the circle wondering if the gauntlet was worth it. Well, there was still Yugi and she still intended to have at him but she couldn't just get in the way of a new set up.

[Bloodedge]

"Hai hai. I wouldn't recommend finding a tree here, though. If you got here the same way as everybody else yesterday, you might find the tree a little occupied," Hiruko said about the cat-woman's napping habits. He fell silent shortly afterwards, while Yugi continued dressing himself as if he didn't intend to be undressed once this impromptu meeting ended. He had much business with Oleana, but it seemed some incompetence at the Hunters Association was fated to result in matters hitting Makima's radar here and now. Just as Yugi was commenting on the likelihood of that, in came the phone call. Interestingly enough, Makima answered via speakerphone ─ leaving the entire room capable of hearing what happened. Yugi had reason to be both aghast and angry. "What do you mean that fucking pussy wants to sue me?!" he growled.

What an upsetting turn of events. He thought he'd gotten the point across well enough. That hotel manager had only been left alive to avoid Yugi having a bad start with Reina. Now, he was having second and third thoughts. "Next time..." he said to no one other than himself. Oleana had an outburst of her own about that report. Only now was it clear what she'd been groaning about the entire time... but it was far too late for that. "It was only a floor. Don't act like you can't handle it. Besides..." Yugi's eyes trailed down from the woman's face. There was something to theorize when he looked at that black band she wore, additional information pending. Regardless, it seemed there was actually a tie to the group's little game earlier. "Really? Huh. Weird. Whatever. Still claiming my prize." Mid-speech, Yugi pointed toward Oleana, then toward himself. "You. Me. One hour," he said before addressing Makima once more. "If that dickhead really wants to sue me, let me know if he's got a wife, sister or daughter. Got a few bones to pick with that guy. Those charges, I figured could come out of whatever we're supposed to be paid as 'normal' Hunters. Anything else?"

[Apollymi]

Hiruko had a bit of passing advice for Reina about her nap placement. He seemed familiar enough with her to know her habits and that was a good thing to note. Beyond that Reina herself chuckled. "Nyah!~ I got a first class ticket here flew in on the back of a giant black wyvern. I know where we are... I also got a room, I'll probably find it~" Reina mentioned almost casually. Beyond that the phone call that Makima was destined to get arrived and she put it on speaker knowing it would be amusing to hear. And just like she thought, Kasumi had something interesting to say. He seemed aghast but as Makima hung up it was quite easy to explain. "If you were to get into a fight as a registered Hunter with an Unawakened Human, that would be considered a crime. There is simply no way for that to work out in an actual human's favor. If two Hunters get into an altercation the one who ends up hurt, could potentially sue the one who hurt them. I am surprised though... most wouldn't want to admit in open court that they got beat up by an E-rank, which was one of the reasons I was fine handing out that rank to you both. I saw it as protection against you needing to look after yourselves, but apparently cowardly people are cowardly the whole way through. And it goes without saying what happens in Dungeons stays in Dungeons," Makima said with almost wistful ambiguity. She knew how she would have handled such a thing, and knew how she would in the near future. If they didn't end up killing the man, he'd just end up locked up as fodder for someone like Kyo to torture.

Miko heard Yugi's utterances and her attention snapped towards him. She wondered if he was going to go full gamer rage but apparently he managed to contain it. No matter, there was something else for him to focus on, and it was Oleana's response. "What I can handle and I expected are two very different things," Oleana stated honestly. What she was in truth wasn't even a Hunter or even a typical god or goddess like the others. Beyond that point there was a simple acknowledgement of the tie between Players and Yugi still claiming his prize. "Hm, I'm probably claiming you as mine, but I'll take it later. For now..." Miko gave one final little bounce and freed herself from Albertus while eating the proof of consumption from her face. "I guess I'll actually have a bath and avoid being late for my date. Skinship anyone♪!?~ We have an onsen♪!~" Miko happily sang as she slipped headed for the bath with Albertus's hat still on her head. "I'm keeping this. I want the not freaky gun too♪!~" she mused playfully. At the same time, Makima was finding out how Yugi planned to handle being sued and she could do nothing but laugh, "Kyaha~ Well, I suppose I saw that Kaito is up and moving around. I'll have him look into it. And no that was all... enjoy your prize," Makima said turning around, Yugi would have a small increase in Intimacy up 2 percent.

[Bloodedge]

Hunter against human was a crime. That much was to be expected. The difference between even an E-rank Hunter and an outstanding human had to be ludicrous based on what Yugi recalled of being level 1. Luckily, he didn't lose his cool with any normal humans. Hunter against Hunter in the open world, the only thing to worry about was a court case ─ though Makima was surprised by the thought of someone admitting to being beaten by an E-rank. Yugi saw things a bit differently. "I'm sure part of the suit involves outing me as a false-ranker. I'm pretty sure I cracked his ribs with Ruler's Hand before I threw him up into the room with those yakuza dickheads, Yugi explained casually.

A brief intermission from that matter saw Oleana claiming her capacity and expectations were separate. Yugi found that thought process a little lacking, but he didn't seem to be passing judgment. "Don't put that shit on me. If you're going to expect anything, you should expect me to exceed your expectations. Learn that early; it'll help you have less aneurisms," he stated. Moving on from that, apparently Miko thought to claim Yugi as her prize for winning the game. Yugi scoffed. "Wasteful. Waste of a choice that would've been automatic anyway, and waste of an hour that could be way more. I won't break the game rule just because you decided to go later, by the way," he replied. Finally, he looked to Makima once more. "Good. If he has all three, I want all of them. I've got another story to write~" he claimed. All the while, Albertus was being separated from by a girl who'd apparently be keeping his hat ─ and she wanted the gun too. "Heyy, count me in! I can't─" He paused while rising, having a phrase strike him later than expected. "What do you mean not freaky? Ivory's groovy~"

[Apollymi]

Makima saw it as odd that anyone would admit to being beaten up by an E-rank, and Yugi thought it through to the point of the man in question deciding to out him as a False-Ranker because of ribs broken by Ruler's Hand. "Sou ka, that'd still be unreasonably hard to prove. It'd be more likely, he'd be assumed to have very weak defenses instead," Makima said, still... if that was the plan that man would not have a very good life. Making was used to cleaning up these kinds of messes, she figured something like this would be Gojo's doing before the teens but... that was also fine. She was their benefactor and would look out for them unless they declared a lack of need.

Meanwhile Oleana was being given a different kind of speech from Yugi. Who claimed she should look for him to exceed expectations rather than putting anything on him. That it would save her time an mental anguish. "Yeah, yeah," the woman said waving him off. She already knew about and understood him so that part was fine. She just didn't expect to find something so odd among the human population while knowing exactly where it came from but that might not have been important information. In the meantime, Oleana stood to follow Yugi and Miko was gathering a band of bathtime companions. It wasn't just Albertus willing to go along, Meron, chimed in from her spot on the floor, "Give me a few minutes I'll catch up," she mumbled needing a reset. At the same time, Reina was stretching she'd claimed to need a nap, a warm bath was a great place to get one in. "Nyah, I don't mind a bath either," she said willing herself along. She gave a passing answer to Yugi before answering Albertus directly. "We play these sorts of games differently, I don't think I'm being wasteful, obvious choices aren't always convenient. I'm going for a bonus. I don't expect you to break your own rules or anything, enjoy your prize Omen-kun♪~" Miko said. Chizuru was also willing to go along just to further ingratiate herself into the group and see the dynamics, "Going for baths but, when you're ready to write that scene you know where to find me, haha!~" Chizuru said with amusement. Makima heard the lad and nodded, at least he was also good for entertainment in addition to being so completely capable of crashing out. In the meantime, Albertus was claiming that his gun Ivory was groovy and didn't appreciation Miko's phrasing. She began walking with the group towards the baths with a little bounce in her step. "Iia, it's definitely you... I could sense that but that just means it shouldn't be separate from you is all♪!~ I also feel like I don't know how it was made, but I'm being mindful of boundaries and secrets by not asking too many random questions," Miko pointed out as the onsen had developed into a fuller thing since the last time she'd seen it. She stood before the shower-like waterfall in front of a floating mirror, pulling out what was necessary to spend way more time cleaning her mouth and face than most people would. All the while, Reina and Chizuru were also having showers and getting ready for bathtime.

[Bloodedge]

"Most people would think that, but there are other variables. Because there are no signs of an altercation, but two confirmed witnesses, it'd be a lot easier to spin the tale. But I'll make sure he's got other things to worry about," Yugi said, already scoffing again over what he'd seen at that love hotel. It would be effortless to deal with ─ especially if Yugi could get any female members of the manager's close family. With that said, Yugi progressed to shrugging off Miko's claim about them playing games differently. "Suit yourself. There's a loophole that could be used here, but whatever~" he said. Had Yugi been in that position, he would have made a choice that didn't involve someone originally playing the game ─ but someone he'd seen basically follow the rules that would have fit into Miko's turn, should such a thing exist. No matter. There was reason to believe she'd be getting up to something else in the coming bath, so he didn't bother mentioning his thoughts.

With Miko moving toward the bath and Albertus, Meron, Reina and Chizuru joining, it seemed most others would be headed in as well. "Not gonna turn down baths and bitches," said Ryohei as he stumbled up to join. By the time Aki straightened himself, Ryohei was looking strangely at the waterfall. "Got moving to do," Aki said to excuse himself. "Don't forget you can teleport here and back," Ren informed, causing Aki to pause and explore a bit of self-loathing. He'd be walking off without another word, while Ren moved to join the others. Before he moved on, Yugi decided to share some parting words with Makima. "By the way, I saw that. It's only at the halfway point," he said with no further explanation. With that, his attention was on Oleana again. "Still no room, huh? Guess it's my place. Upstairs, end of the hall. Unless... Menu," Yugi overrode his own clause for the purpose of checking Oleana's Intimacy. If she'd gotten close while he wasn't watching, there was a plan to enact. While Yugi was performing that check, Albertus was pulling the 'not freaky' gun from its holster and constructing a new strap around it. "So what, I'm freaky now? I see what you're getting at! I oughta make this holster a... Hey wait, that might be a radical idea!"

Apparently several layers of variables were included in how someone would try and prove that an E-rank was a False-Ranker after said person had embarrassed them. Makima heard this out and nodded her understanding though she thought it quite the circular bit of logic. "I see," Makima said. A floor collapsed into another. Signs of a struggle were inferred, but she supposed with witnesses someone could try to do something. But you'd have to be able to guarantee the cooperation of said witnesses and it was assumable that couldn't be done. While Makima thought it over and figured Yugi would be taking out his 'revenge' against a family unit which quite honestly didn't deserve to be, he was also telling Miko of an apparent loophole in their game. Only a moment of pause came from Miko when she heard this, she took stock of everything in the room all the additions and thought processes and said but one thing, "Box it." If it came back up later she'd deal with it then, if not, she'd use the information for future endeavors. It wasn't in her nature to exploit loopholes or broken game mechanics outright. Her form of play was different.

At the same time, other guys were on the move, with Ryohei deciding to stay for baths and women. "I figured. The waterfall will get you clean magically and it'll be the perfect temperature♪~" Miko said to Ryohei, she'd take a moment to peek at his route information finding he'd grown quite sizably but just enough to not have a room just yet. That would likely be something she aimed to fix before she left for her date. But the information she shared about the waterfall had both the other young women sliding under it and enjoying hot water and cleansing of a magical nature the likes of which neither had experienced before. Chizuru thought it felt great against her skin, and Reina found it relaxing in the strangest possible way her whole body feeling clean were the water touched. For Aki she simply smiled as he went off, with Ren giving him a bit of advice. "Hai♪~ What Renny said. You can come join when you've wrapped up♪!~" Miko left open the invitation for him as he was among her first of such friends. At the same time, Yugi was claiming he'd seen something and noted he was only half way, "Huh?" Makima couldn't hold the pretense as confusion crossed her face. She now had more than one reason to abscond with Miko because if he was only halfway to his stated goal their stats did something much crazier than Makima herself imagined. Oleana for her part also looked surprised, "He gave you a goal? Good luck," Oleana uttered almost silently but the look of momentary distress that crossed her eyes was obvious. "I don't not yet. I likely will," Oleana said seeming to understand the basics but not all the rest. She'd had most of that conversation with Albertus and Meron. It wouldn't stop her from stepping closer as the lad opened a Menu, she'd not witnessed the screens directly yet, and it might have been worth a gander. At the same time Miko was aggressively brushing her teeth and cleaning her mouth seeming to keep track of time with subtle movements of her hips while the other girls watched and grabbed nearby towels and the having already stripped down a certain amount. Still Albertus seemed playfully upset about the term 'freaky' being used as a descriptor for his gun and thus him by Miko's comparison of the two things... "I didn't say that... you did♪!~ But what's the idea, seeing you excited about something is peak♪!~ I let a bunch of people dress me up, you can do it too, An-sa♪~" Miko said as she rinsed her mouth for the third time after going from brushing her teeth, to scraping her tongue, to using a water pick. It was as if she wanted to erase all traces of anything that had been in her mouth, including the toothpaste.
